At this moment, the two golden lights on the two cultural relics flew into Li Jiandong's mind.

The next second, a line of information appeared in Li Jiandong's mind.

【Fish basket statue】

【Authentic】

【Value: 3530003000 yuan】

Wow, I didn’t expect that my skills could be directly estimated.

It seems that the golden light of this cultural relic was absorbed by his own skills.

New functions have been expanded.

Li Jiandong was also very excited.

It just so happens that I don’t have anything to do on weekdays, and now I have this skill.

In your spare time, you can go to the cultural relics market to buy some good things.

However, the good things in Liulichang are not easy to find after all.

If I could travel around the country, I would probably receive more valuable things.
After putting the antiques away, Li Jiandong thought about it carefully again.

Now I have these two treasures in my hands.

You must go to Liulichang often, maybe you can find a bargain there.

But most importantly, go to another place and have a look.

At this time, Li Jiandong had already thought of another place he wanted to go.

Ghost city.

Yes, there is a ghost market with a certain history in this old city.

To be precise, this ghost market is only about seventy or eighty years old.

The ghost market did not exist originally.

But after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, these Eight Banners descendants changed their originally extravagant and licentious life.

Suddenly, the days became without a safety net.

But these descendants of the Eight Banners relied on their rich ancestral inheritance and ate and lived as they pleased.

As a result, those who are a little smart use their ancestral inheritance to buy real estate and land and then live a low-key life.

However, some of the Eight Banners descendants knew nothing.

Eat all, drink all, whore all, gamble all.

When he found that he had no money left, he started selling his property.

But after all, he is a descendant of the Eight Banners, and his ancestors are considered iron-hat kings.

They have been reduced to selling their property, which is actually very embarrassing to tell others.

Therefore, many of the Eight Banners descendants wanted to maintain the image of not being prodigal sons.

So I chose to find a specific place at midnight.

Then he took out the valuable things from his ancestral property and sold them.

For example, some antique calligraphy and paintings.

Also, because it was night and there was little light, everyone was doing the deal in the dark.

When they see something suitable, they shake hands and gesture with their fingers.

That’s why it’s also called Ghost Market.

As time went by, it gradually continued.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ghost market still existed.

It even became the most important trading place in the past three years.

Because supplies were scarce at that time, there was no good food to eat.

Some people have some small things at home and come to the ghost market to sell them.

Some people had some extra meat coupons or something and used them to pay it back.

It can also be regarded as a means of transaction in a certain era.

With the current development, ghost markets are no longer used.

After all, the Eight Banners descendants are almost gone.

And now with the reform and opening up, coupled with the accumulation of a great country over the years.

Supplies were no longer enough to feed people, so there was naturally no need to do things secretly.

However, this ghost market still remains.

The main reason is that the people have their own needs.

Everyone has some business dealings that they don't want others to see.

The local police station sometimes turns a blind eye.

We are all neighbors and know what is sold in this ghost market.

As long as you don't touch any prohibited items, you can basically just turn a blind eye.

After all, one day you might get the urge to come to this ghost market and buy something.

Now Li Jiandong is planning to get more antiques and collectibles.

No matter whether it is used as an heirloom or used to make other things.

At least you can take care of your descendants at critical moments.

Of course, whether your descendants will succeed or not is not something that a dead person can control.

When Li Jiandong was alive, he could only do two things to leave more for his descendants.

Thinking of this, Li Jiandong took out the woven bag he had placed in the old house.

This woven bag is not small and can hold at least a lot of things.

I just happened to think of the ghost market today, so I'll go there tonight.

Thinking of this, Li Jiandong fell asleep early.

If you are going to the ghost market at night, you must be well rested, otherwise you will be exhausted.

How can I go to the ghost market by myself?
When I woke up, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

After pressing the alarm clock, Li Jiandong stood up and stretched.

Then he put on his clothes and got himself a hat.

It's not winter now, so there's no need to get a scarf.

However, as far as Li Jiandong knew, this ghost market seemed to no longer be hiding itself.

After all, everyone has let it go. Anyway, the purpose of coming to the ghost market is to get something that is not available on weekdays.

It's not something shameful, so everyone can treat it with a normal attitude.

After sorting out everything, Li Jiandong went out with his woven bag.

In the 80s, there were more street lights in the old city at night.

Of course, this is because it has only been a few years since the reform and opening up in the 1980s.

To be honest, the trend of the whole society and people's thoughts are in a very confused state.

Moreover, because of the trend of this era, many people are going abroad.

The sentiment of worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners is very serious.

However, coupled with the impact of the world, many people have taken risks.

However, it doesn't matter to Li Jiandong.

His physical fitness is several times better than that of ordinary people, so he is naturally not worried about encountering any problems.

Along the way, Li Jiandong tried his best to avoid places with street lights.

We walked along the small alleys.

Fortunately, surveillance cameras are not yet popular in this era, so I don’t have to worry about being photographed.

If people knew that he, the country's chief architect, went to the ghost market to buy antiques.

That would make people laugh their heads off.

Although if Li Jiandong wanted to, he could get more and better things through his identity as chief designer.

But to be honest, this was not Li Jiandong's original intention.

After walking for a while, I saw a big locust tree in front of me.

Around the big locust tree, a group of people with flashlights were strolling slowly.

On both sides of the street, there are some stall owners setting up their stalls.

There are many things on the stall.

There are collectibles, calligraphy and paintings, as well as some radios and other things.

The ghost market now seems to be more comprehensive than before.

There are a lot more things.

Especially the valuable items unique to this era.

For example, radios and other industrial products.

Although reform and opening up have begun, the territory of this great country is still very large.

There are many thoughts and trends that need to be transformed, so there is naturally a lag.

But after all, the desire to pursue good things will not change.

So, you can always see something you never expected in the ghost market.

Just at this moment, Li Jiandong slowly walked over.

As soon as we entered the ghost market, a young man came over and said, "Brother, do you want to exchange swords?"

Exchanging foreign currency is a relatively common operation in the ghost market.

It’s just that Li Jiandong’s children are either in Mazu or in Hong Kong.

Anyway, he was not short of that little foreign currency, so Li Jiandong waved his hand.

"My price is very fair. Others offer 1 to 10. How about I offer you 1 to 8?"

"1 to 10?" Li Jiandong looked at the man as if he were a lunatic.

"The national exchange rate is only 1 to 2. If I come to you, I have to pay eight dollars to exchange one dollar. I might as well go to the bank."

"Brother, you don't understand. No matter how good the bank's exchange rate is, I will still give it to you."

"What do you mean?" Li Jiandong was a little surprised.

"My friend, this isn't your first time here, is it?" the man said cheerfully.

"This country's foreign currency is also limited. We all know the 1 to 2 ratio, but the problem is."

"Do you have any connections? Do you have any notes?"

"1 to 2, where can you find a place to exchange? I can give you 1 green coin for 8 yuan, which is already good. You still have yuan left."

"If it were anyone else, they would fight tooth and nail for the 1-to-," the man said.

Although what this person said was correct, Li Jiandong was not here to return the green currency.

Naturally, I didn't continue to bother with him.

Seeing that Li Jiandong did not change, the man stopped talking nonsense and went somewhere else.

Walk towards the big locust tree.

Li Jiandong looked around.

Because there are street lights, it is quite convenient.

At this time, the stalls began to hide and the people became denser.

Walking past each stall, I saw the goods neatly arranged.

Li Jiandong could even see cultural relics from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that were strictly prohibited from being auctioned by the state.

Wow, I never knew there were so many good things in this ghost market.

Look, there are cultural relics from the Spring and Autumn Period here.

Li Jiandong was not in a hurry, after all, he was the buyer.

Can you still worry about not having anything to buy? There are many things in this ghost market, but there are also many fakes.

According to the rules of the ghost market, if you like something, you have to buy it.

The main point is to accept defeat when you lose.

If you misjudge, you will be fooled.

Then it's just your bad luck.

If you are capable enough, you can buy the genuine product with the money of the fake one.

That's your own ability.

So, Li Jiandong is not in a hurry.

If you see something suitable, it’s not too late to take action.

Just as Li Jiandong was looking around, a figure suddenly stopped him.

Fang Ru.

Fang Ru is the owner of Cuiwen Pavilion, and Li Jiandong met her during the day.

I just didn’t expect that Fang Ru would also appear in the ghost market.

"Ms. Fang, are you here at the ghost market too?" Li Jiandong was a little surprised.

Fang Ru smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Li, it is fate."

"I knew right away that Mr. Li didn't get anything good during the day, but that doesn't stop there being something to see in this ghost market."

"Mr. Li, have you seen anything good?" Fang Ru asked curiously.

Li Jiandong then said, "Not yet. I'm also looking. There don't seem to be many good things in this ghost market."

After hearing this, Fang Ru didn't say much, but just followed Li Jiandong.

After the two of them looked around, Fang Ru walked towards a stall.

Seeing this, Li Jiandong also followed over.

Fang Ru squatted down at a stall and looked carefully.

The owner of the stall said, "Miss, what do you like? Tell me."

Fang Ru said nothing and picked out a snuff bottle.

She held it in her hand and looked at it carefully, then put the snuff bottle back in its place.

Li Jiandong didn't say a word throughout the whole process, just looked at Fang Ru.

Then she looked at a brush washer and two calligraphy and paintings.

It seemed that Fang Ru didn't have anything specific to buy.

Just looking aimlessly.

However, Li Jiandong is not in a hurry because he does not need to collect antiques to make money.

The money that Li Jiandong's family has now is actually enough for the Li family to live on for ten lifetimes.

But Li Jiandong still felt that he should leave some good things for his descendants in case of emergency.
Because of this, Li Jiandong just watched Fang Ru pick things silently without saying much.

At this moment, Fang Ru's actions changed.

I saw her picking up a piece of porcelain and looking at it for a long time, seeming hesitant and reluctant to let it go.

Li Jiandong saw all of this.

Li Jiandong also looked at the porcelain carefully.

It turned out to be something from the Tang Dynasty. Not only was it authentic, but it was also extremely valuable.

According to the price given by the system, it is worth at least 100 million.

Wow, I didn’t expect that I could find such good stuff worth hundreds of millions in the ghost market.

"Boss, how much is this?" Li Jiandong asked without losing any time.

"If you want this, I'll sell it to you at a lower price of 330000."

"330000?" Put in frowned: "Although the quality of this porcelain bottle is okay, you are too dark."

"Miss, this is fine Song Dynasty porcelain."

It seems that the boss doesn't even know the actual production time of this thing.

Li Jiandong was also curious. How could this boss, who knew nothing, dare to run such a business?

This is just a scam.

Fortunately, Li Jiandong has the skills to clearly know the true information of this antique.

However, Fang Ru seemed to still intend to bargain.

Li Jiandong said cheerfully: "I want this bottle."

"Ah?" Fang Ru looked at Li Jiandong in surprise.

She didn't understand why Li Jiandong was willing to purchase the product at the original price. Wasn't it obvious that she was being ripped off?

But Li Jiandong didn't care about Fang Ru's opinion and just counted the money.

Handed 3000 yuan to the boss.

After the boss checked and confirmed that everything was correct, he happily gave the porcelain bottle to Li Jiandong.

"This gentleman is indeed a man of vision. I'll sell this to you for 3, and it will double in value in the future."

Li Jiandong smiled and put the porcelain bottle into the woven bag, and then took the opportunity to put the porcelain bottle into his system space.

Are you kidding? This thing is worth 100 million yuan if it is accidentally broken.

The duck that was in hand really flew away.

Fang Ru wanted to say something, but because they were in the ghost market, she didn't say anything.

Li Jiandong found a place where there were not too many people.

Spread a piece of cloth on the ground and then put up a small sign.

"Buying all kinds of antiques, prices are negotiable, cash and notes are acceptable."

After Fang Ru saw the big words on Li Jiandong's sign, she squatted aside and asked curiously, "Mr. Li."

"What do you do? Are you a dealer in antiques?"

"No." Li Jiandong smiled and shook his head: "I just like to collect these things, and I happen to have the conditions to do so."

Hearing this, Fang Ru nodded and did not ask any further questions.

It's someone else's private matter, so it's not Fang Ru's turn to ask about it.

"Mr. Li, that porcelain bottle is a fake. It's not worth even 30 yuan."

"You're at a disadvantage." Fang Ru reminded.

Li Jiandong looked at her curiously: "How do you know this is a fake?"

There is definitely no problem with my skills and I won’t deceive myself.

There is only one possibility, that is Fang Ru’s own skills are not good enough.

Fang Ru also said directly: "This Song Dynasty porcelain bottle is more advanced in production technology, so it is not of the same quality as the one in your hand."

Afterwards, Fang Ru introduced to Li Jiandong some characteristics of Song Dynasty porcelain bottles.

After listening to it, Li Jiandong also had a significant change in his opinion of Fang Ru.

This woman is really knowledgeable.
However, Li Jiandong felt confident.

I know that the porcelain bottle I bought for 3000 yuan is a genuine Tang Dynasty product.

So, after Fang Ru finished speaking, Li Jiandong said directly: "Miss Fang, you are right."

“Actually, I know all of this.”

"Then why did you buy it, Mr. Li?" Fang Ru looked at him curiously.

"Because Miss Fang, you are wrong." Li Jiandong pointed out her mistake directly.

"This porcelain vase is from the Tang Dynasty, not the Song Dynasty, which means that neither you nor the stall owner recognized the value of this item."

Then, Li Jiandong pointed to the signature on the bottom of the bottle and said, “See it?”

Fang Ru then took a closer look, and her face suddenly turned a little ugly.

"I forgot to sign my name. I am so embarrassed in front of Mr. Li."

Seeing Fang Ru like this, Li Jiandong smiled and waved his hands: "What are you talking about, Miss Fang? What's so shameful about this?"

"If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. I just like collecting these things."

Just as Li Jiandong finished speaking, a stall owner walked over.

"Brother, what business are you in?"

Li Jiandong pointed at his own sign with a flashlight: "It's written on it."

The man took a look and then said, "Do you collect all kinds of antiques?"

"Yes, but it has to be real and valuable. Don't bring fakes."

"I have been in this business for many years, and no one has ever been able to catch me off guard."

This is Li Jiandong's confidence. With his skills to back him up, he naturally doesn't worry about anyone using fake goods to fool him.

Seeing that Li Jiandong was so confident, the men said happily, "Okay, I have a few small things here."

"I wonder if my brother would like to take a look?"

"Row."

After getting a positive answer, the man turned around and went back to his stall.

After a while, the man brought over a pair of wine glasses and a wine jug.

"Can you take a look at this?"

Li Jiandong pointed the flashlight at the ground, and the man smiled and put the things on the ground.

Don't touch, that's the rule.

After a careful look, the hint given by the skill is that it is genuine.

Jade wine pot and jade wine cup from the Yuan Dynasty.

It's a good thing, but not a rare treasure.

It is also worth collecting.

"Name a price." Li Jiandong said.

"You say." said the man.

Li Jiandong then said: "I won't give an estimate, you name the price, if it's suitable I'll take it directly"

The man then raised a finger and said, "130000"

"53000."

"make a deal."

Anyway, he won’t lose money. Li Jiandong now knows the value of this thing.

Worth 10.

So it’s not a bad buy.

After counting 53000 pieces, Li Jiandong put the jade wine cup and jade wine pot into a woven bag.

Fang Ru, who was standing by, was surprised to see Li Jiandong complete the transaction so easily, and said, "Mr. Li."

"It seems that you are the real expert. No wonder you were able to recognize that the fish basket statue from Bai Gu Zhai was fake during the day."

Li Jiandong smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Not long after, news spread that Li Jiandong was purchasing a large number of antiques and cultural relics.

Many stall owners simply ran directly to Li Jiandong.

For a while, there was some chaos in front of his stall.

"Please line up, come one by one. I will take them all." Li Jiandong said in a low voice.

After hearing this, all the bosses stood in a row.

Li Jiandong looked at the things in their hands one by one.
In a short while, Li Jiandong got a lot of good things from these vendors.

At this time, Li Jiandong saw that the woven bag could no longer hold the food, so he said to Fang Ru: "Help me watch the stall and maintain order."

"I'll be back soon." (End of this chapter)
