Walking out the door, a hot wind blew, causing Yang Bo to feel at a loss. At the cost of two hundred yuan, Boss Jia had only fifty yuan left when he opened his mouth. If he really made a move, for the next few days of the month, he would definitely starve himself to death! But what should he do now?

Looking for another store to make a move on? Yang Bo shook his head and smiled. In the eyes of outsiders, this industry was filled with the temptation of suddenly becoming rich overnight. Most of them were deceit by the shopkeeper. In order to reap a huge profit, the heartless shopkeeper had cheated the ordinary seller and made it a simple deal at a very low price!

But if he brought it back to the night market, the price definitely wouldn't be high, which made it difficult for Yang Bo!

After following the road for a while, they saw another antique shop. The interior of the shop was brightly lit, Yang Bo clenched his teeth, and casually walked in, instead of going back to the night market to sell them at a low price, he decided to try his luck in another antique shop here, maybe even trick someone into selling them at a high price!

There were two middle aged men chatting inside the store. When they saw Yang Bo walk in, they stopped talking and turned to look.

"Hello!" The bearded middle aged man greeted and then looked towards his companion. Both of them looked at each other and smiled, obviously having seen the item in Yang Bo's embrace and guessed his intentions.

Yang Bo nodded his head, "Boss, I have a Qing Dynasty Yong Zheng that is imitating an glazed Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase, take a look!"

Yang Bo knew very well the morals of these bosses. If you don't have confidence in your own items, then they will naturally show off their perfunctory attitude and even try their best to lower the price. Only by showing an appearance of having control over everything will you be able to convince these bosses!

The bearded man was startled at first, and then laughed involuntarily. Seeing that Yang Bo's face looked tender, he did not expect him to have an aged look the moment he entered the door, and did not know if it was an act or not.

Liu, we have some business here, you go ahead and discuss it, we will talk about it later! The other person was thin like a bamboo pole, and his clothes hung down from his body. When he saw the bearded boss, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party was afraid of him.

The bearded man smiled, "Alright, then I'll take a look first!"

As he said that, he didn't forget to turn and look at Yang Bo, "Little brother, looking at you, it seems like you walked in from the outside at this hour, you probably came here from Ghost Market, right? Everyone is clear about the look of the Ghost Market, I have seen too many eye-catching things, and the things I picked up were very rare, if something were to happen to the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase, would you be prepared? "

Yang Bo nodded, "Boss Liu only needs to watch. If Boss Liu sees that it is inappropriate, I will not say anything else!"

"Good, little brother is a straightforward person!" The bearded man said with a smile.

After finding the magnifying glass and holding a flashlight in his hand, the bearded man looked at it.

After a long while, the bearded man muttered to himself and turned to look at the bamboo shoot man. "You want to take a look as well?"

When Yang Bo first came in, the two of them judged that Yang Bo should have come over from the Ghost Market, and felt that the young man should be holding a fake one. Seeing the bearded man's serious expression, it seemed like his guess was different.

Taking the tools from the bearded man, the bamboo shoot man also started to look at them.

Taking this opportunity, the bearded man looked at Yang Bo with surprise in his eyes: "What is your surname, little brother?"

"My surname is Yang." Yang Bo was neither humble nor arrogant, even though he was feeling anxious, he knew that he could not show it.

"Brother Yang, since you are able to call out the name of this item, you should be very familiar with this Yong Zheng who is imitating the metal glaze Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase, right?" The bearded man asked.

Yang Bo did not show modesty, and he did not reveal his fear, "Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase s are porcelain and were more common in the early Ming Dynasty, especially with Yong Qian being the most famous one.

"At that time, Tang Ying, the official in charge of pottery, sent someone to Henan province to investigate on the spot the preparation method of Songjun glaze, and after many trials, successfully made the imitation of Songjun kiln from various aspects, such as the shape and glaze color, which were enough to fake the true quality of Songjun kiln kiln products. "So the Yongzheng Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase s' glaze patterns are all excellent, inheriting the practical examples from the ancient times, while at the same time promoting Yongzheng's innovative kiln techniques, that's why they were able to create such a beautiful weapon."

"And the imitator in my hand, is a Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase with smooth and full body lines, harmonious as a whole and an elegant demeanor, with Song Dynasty that is pure and lofty, displaying the majesty of a king!"

The bearded man and the bamboo shoot man looked at each other in surprise, both of them were naturally able to discern some clues, but Yang Bo was still young, and was able to obtain treasures from the Ghost Market so he was able to speak freely and explain the advantages and disadvantages, naturally making people surprised.

However, the bearded man was after all, the owner of the antique shop, and not the owner of the Charity Hall. He wouldn't raise the price just because of Yang Bo's words, "Brother Yang is right, it's just that this item's line is slightly different from other Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase's.

Yang Bo was overjoyed. He naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words, this was a price he was willing to pay. After all, he was still young, so he couldn't help but ask: "How much is Boss Liu willing to offer?"

The man with a full beard smiled, he could tell that Yang Bo was still young, if he had any experience, he would have fought back and forth between words several times, trying his best to raise the price, "Brother Yang is so generous, I am not a drag, twenty thousand!"

Yang Bo was overjoyed, the value increased a hundred times just like that? Regardless of good or evil, he had to take advantage of a good deal when doing business. His own Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase was obviously worth more than twenty thousand, and according to Yang Bo's estimation, it should be at least around one hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand.

If he got it in the auction house, it would be worth it. But in the antique shop, he would be at the mercy of the other party. However, he still had to strive for a bit or two.

"Boss Liu, this father of the Fish-Basket-Shaped Vase was initially unwilling to help, but our family has recently bought a new house, so we need some money to buy some furniture, which is why we have to bear with it, if it's 20,000 yuan, then it's really not enough."

Of course the bearded man could understand the meaning of Yang Bo's words, he knew that it was just an excuse, but in the end, there were advantages and disadvantages to it, and he wanted to continue discussing, "Brother Yang, give me a price!"

Yang Bo pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Sixty thousand!"

Seeing that he was still hesitating, he said, "There is an emergency in Brother Yang's family, so you can just take it as an emergency. As for the sixty thousand, that is quite high.

Yang Bo hesitated for a moment, then looked at the bearded man, and the two of them looked at each other, and nodded: "Alright!"

Their eyes all nodded, "Alright!"
