As soon as the genius was dawn, Jin Muchen had already arrived at Panjiayuan. He saw the gray wall at the entrance from a distance. Looking at the Panjiayuan freakfast market written on it, a few gilded characters, he couldn't help but feel a sense of affection.

For any Chinese who is engaged in the antique industry or collector who loves Chinese antiques, Panjiayuan is definitely a perfect holy place in the hearts of everyone!

Over the years, as antique collections become increasingly popular in China, many major cities in China have established their own antique markets, but absolutely no one can achieve such great fame as Panjiayuan.

This area covering an area of ​​less than 50,000 square meters has gathered 4,000 merchants of all sizes, as well as countless retail investors in greenhouses. There are tens of thousands of people who make a living here every day.

And the number of people visiting here every day is more than an astonishing millions of people. No wonder this place is rated as an antique trading center in Asia by American antique collection magazines.

Jin Muchen breathed a long sigh, and then followed the crowd and began to slowly walk into the market.

Although it was only around six o'clock in the morning, the market had begun to become active. Visitors from all over the country and even around the world began to slowly walk into this treasure-hiding place.

After entering the market, there were crowds of people everywhere, and the scene that Jin Muchen saw was much more standard than he imagined.

He has been here in this capital many times before, but he was not an antique player at that time, so he had never visited Pan Jiayuan, but he had heard of the fame here and even saw it several times on TV.

But that happened a few years ago. At that time, the situation in Panjiayuan, which I saw on TV, was very messy. There were a few streets where regular antique shops gathered, and the rest were street stalls.

Those roadside stalls look dirty and messy.

But now after the situation here has been rectified, many have to be standardized, and a whole area has been divided into many functional areas.

It is clearly divided into six business areas: street stall area, ancient building area, classical furniture area, modern collection area, stone carving area, and catering service area.

When you enter Panjiayuan, the first thing you can see is the street stall area. The street stall area is actually the greenhouse area and some temporary merchants to the joint management area.

In the middle of the spacious street is a row of tall open greenhouses. There are some fixed stalls inside, and on the edge of the extended greenhouse are some temporary street stalls.

There are all kinds of things to buy, including antique furniture, four treasures of study, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, old books, agate, jade, ceramics, Chinese and foreign coins, bamboo and wood bone carvings, shadow puppetry and facial makeup, Buddhist tokens, ethnic clothing and apparel, Cultural Revolution relics, etc.

As long as you can imagine, there are everything here, but most of the things you buy at these stalls are modern imitations. Even if some of them were from the past, they were from the post-liberation. If defined by the age, they cannot be regarded as antiques, but only as cultural relics and collectibles.

Jin Muchen probably walked around and saw a little dazzled. After reading many things, he felt that he liked them very much, and he bought one or two of them.

It is different from the antique market I imagined. The things here are not as expensive as I imagined, and the stall owners are not as treacherous as they have read before. They obviously know what they bought, so they didn't fool them too much.

So Jin Muchen chose to buy two handicrafts that he liked, and soon there were countless bags of big and small in his hand.

He plans to bring all these things back to the United States, but he plans to open an antique shop, but the store cannot sell all antiques?

Even if he thought, he wouldn't be able to stuff his shop with 100% authentic products, right? After all, he opened an antique shop, not a museum. So there are a few authentic products, and by the way, some handicrafts must be used to support the venue.

After all, for those foreigners, they can't tell whether the antiques in your store are all real, and they never pay for these small items as long as they like them.

So like Hengshui's snuff bottles, Yangliuqing's New Year's paintings, Jiangsu's embroidery, Dongyang's wood carvings, Quyang's stone carvings, Shandong's shadow puppets, Jiangxi's porcelain and crystal jewelry, Yixing's purple clay, Shaanxi's bronze ware, Yunnan's clothing, Tibetan Buddhist supplies, Xinjiang's white jade, Taiwan's Jiaozhi pottery, etc.

As long as the workmanship is exquisite enough, Jin Muchen can buy a few of them, and then ask the store to pack them and deliver them to his hotel.

He rarely bargained for things when he bought them. He was basically optimistic about it and the store also liked to deal with buyers like him, so he basically agreed with his request for delivery.

After shopping in the morning, Jin Muchen can be said to have gained a lot, but he also spent a lot of money. He spent more than 100,000 yuan in the morning. Basically, all the owners of the stalls knew that this was a powerful financial supporter.

I arrived at the dining area at noon, found a restaurant for some food, and continued to visit in the afternoon.

In May, the capital city happens to be early summer, and the temperature is neither high nor low. It is most suitable for outdoor activities. Today's weather is particularly good. It is rare to see smog. Jin Muchen also becomes more and more energetic as he visits.

However, his goal changed in the afternoon, not to concentrate on the street stall area in front, but to the collection area in the back.

There are antique buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles, without the mess in front. On both sides of the street, there are antique shops with large doors, so the things sold in this shop are different from those in front.

The ones in front are all handicrafts, and most of the ones sold here are genuine collections. Of course, there are inevitably some fakes mixed in them. At this time, we need to examine the buyer's eyesight.

If you have real skills, you may find good things here, but if you don’t have enough eyesight, you will be fooled, which is inevitable.

Anyway, the rule here is to buy a certain amount of money, but there is no reason why you can return the goods when you buy fakes like in the United States.

The shops near the street stall area in front are usually two floors, but in the back streets, they are basically bungalows, but these bungalows are also in the style of antique buildings, basically with gray walls and blue tiles, which look full of antique charm.

Basically, every shop is facing the street. Some of these shops will put some collections in cabinets and place them at the door to attract customers, while others will directly open the door so that people passing by outside can see the situation inside at a glance.

Not every store will go in. Generally, Jin Muchen chooses to wait and see at the door. Only when you see something with jewels will you enter the store and take a closer look.

If you didn't find it, you wouldn't go in. There are so many shops here. After all, it is impossible for every shop to have a number of treasures. Even if there are one, you won't easily put the treasures of the store outside, so Jin Muchen was also watching it out.

It was not until he arrived at the entrance of a store called Yuezhixiang that he stopped. The store name is very interesting. Just by looking at the name, you should be able to guess that the boss came from Lingnan.

This is not surprising. You should know that more than 60% of the operators of Panjiayuan come from 28 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions outside the capital, involving more than a dozen ethnic groups such as Han, Hui, Manchu, Miao, Dong, Wei, Mongolian, and North Korea.

So Jin Muchen did not feel strange because of the boss's origin. What he felt strange was the things sold in this store.

You should know that there are all things you buy in Panjiayuan, which can almost be said to cover the range of 100% of Chinese cultural relics, such as American porcelain, jade, magical instruments, and ethnic tokens. There are all kinds of things here, but there are not many shops selling overseas antiques and cultural relics.

The things bought in the Guangdong town in front of him were very unique. Jin Muchenguang glanced at the store from the door and found several things that interest him.

For example, the lighters on the antique shelf looked a bit out of character, but the light flashed on the lighters was actually telling Jin Muchen that these are all good things.

"Welcome to you, boss, just take a look, just say hello to me."

The owner was a young man in his thirties, with a medium figure and a clear Lingnan accent in Mandarin. Jin Muchen smiled at him and then went directly to the front of the antique shelf with a lighter.

"Boss, take that lighter down and take a look."

Jin Muchen pointed to a porcelain lighter on the antique shelf and said to the boss. When the boss saw that he was so straightforward, his eyes lit up. He should be a knowledgeable person.

"Boss, you really have a vision! This is just a treasure. This is just an American famous brand Evans copper-tire enamel lighter. It has a history of hundreds of years. It is not much in existence now, and it is very well maintained. Hezhibao's universal kerosene and flint are just a little bit now, which is definitely a good thing worth collecting!"

The boss smiled and took off the copper-tied enamel lighter from the antique shelf.

This lighter is not small in size, the height is similar to that of an ordinary cigarette case, and the width is slightly narrow. It is a good item to play with when you hold it in your hand.

The ignition device at the top and the base at the bottom are all in a copper-golded gilt configuration, and in the middle is an olive-shaped round pot with head and tail removed. The body of the pot is made of copper-tied enamel, with several blooming roses and butterflies painted on it.

The patina is oily and has a great feel. It seems that the owner of the past should have often held it in his hands to play with it. It is definitely a very good small item!

Jin Muchen held it in his hand and played with it for a while. The heavy feel of the hand, it seemed that the material was very real. He liked it the more he played! (To be continued.)
