Chapter 296 Treasure Fighting Conference
She wanted to live a good life! She had just started her wonderful life.
Old Jia scratched his head and said, "Oh! I really thought you were going to rob a tomb!"
Lin Panpan looked at him and said, "Old Jia, do you know many tomb robbers?"
Old Jia laughed loudly and said:
"What you said is true. We certainly know a lot of tomb robbers."
He took out the tomb-touching talisman from his pocket and said:
"We belong to the tomb-touching sect. Look, this is the tomb-touching talisman passed down from our ancestors.
Nowadays, this kind of genuine tomb-touching talisman is almost lost, and the craftsmanship is no longer known. Finding another one is almost impossible."
The tomb robber carefully put away the tomb-grabbing talisman and continued:
“We know many tomb robbers, and there are frequent exchanges between different sects.
Exchange conferences and treasure-competition conferences are held every year.
At a specific time, someone will send a special invitation to all parties to gather together."
A young man stood beside Old Jia. He leaned forward slightly and said softly, "Grandpa, the invitation has been delivered. The Treasure Fighting Conference will be held the day after tomorrow. Shall we go then?"
Lao Jia cleared his throat and said:
"Go, why not? This treasure fighting competition is an annual event in our industry.
This is not just an exchange conference, where treasures circulate, personal connections expand, and reputation spreads. There are so many benefits!
Moreover, there will be some special information to be sold at that time, including a lot of information related to the ancient tomb.
But it seems we don’t need this information now.”
Lin Panpan nodded slightly, looked at Lao Jia and said:
"Let's not delve into the news about the ancient tomb for now, but it would be nice to meet more people and see more treasures.
I have always been interested in antiques.
"Old Jia, the reason I called you here this time is to help me collect all kinds of antiques. You really have a wealth of knowledge about antiques."
Lao Jia shook his head slightly and said:
“I’m not proficient in all kinds of antique knowledge. Some things are more famous, so I’ve seen more of them.
If I come across those unconventional ones, I may not know everything very clearly.
What I’m best at is ancient paintings and vases; I’m not very good at other objects.”
Lin Panpan suddenly understood, nodded again, and said, "Actually, I don't know much. I'm best at bronze artifacts and coins, but my eyesight is better than most people."
Old Jia looked at Lin Panpan with sharp eyes and said:
"I've watched these children in the village grow up. They've been exposed to antiques since they were young and have a lot of knowledge. It's definitely a piece of cake for them to help you collect antiques.
I also know a lot of experts in the industry, and I will introduce them to you when I have the chance. This time, I will take you around. This market is very deep, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can really dig up a lot of treasures.
Oh, and there's also gambling on stones there. If you're interested, you definitely have to go and see it."
Lin Panpan's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this, and she couldn't help but ask, "You actually have gambling stones at this stall? How can there be such a thing at a tomb-robbing trade fair?"
Lao Jia smiled and nodded, explaining:
"Of course, there are quite a few every time! Gambling on stones is only one part of it, there are also bets on various other things.
Take gambling on porcelain, for example! Sometimes the porcelain you collect is covered in thick dirt or is a bit damaged. You only get a general look at it, and you have no idea what treasures are hidden underneath.
Buyers can only rely on their experience and vision to bet on the original appearance and value of the porcelain.
If you can clean the dirt off some porcelain, you might find that they are long-lost treasures from the official kilns. That would be a huge profit, right?
But if you make a mistake and find out it’s a worthless, inferior product from a folk kiln, you’ll lose everything.”
Lin Panpan nodded and said, "Okay, then just call me and we'll go see the world."
"Okay... then I'll take them back first..." Lao Jia said as he was about to leave.
Lin Panpan quickly took out a bag and said, "Here's 20,000 yuan. Use it first. When you see something suitable, take it."
Lao Jia took the 20,000 yuan and said, "Then what price will I pay when I buy antiques?"
"It's up to you. As long as you can make some profit, I buy everything here. There are no rules when it comes to collecting antiques. Just don't make a loss." Lin Panpan said with a smile.
Lao Jia nodded and said, "That's definitely not possible. I've been in this business for so long, I still have some sense."
Then Lin Feng took out a few contracts, and both parties signed them after reading them.
After they left, Lin Feng whispered, "Auntie, do you think they can be trusted?"
Lin Panpan looked at him and said with a smile:
"How would I know? Time will tell. It's only 20,000 yuan anyway.
But this old Jia is pretty good. Every antique he gives me is genuine. He's a good person."
After they left, Lin Panpan was about to go out when she saw Sun Haining coming.
Sun Haining was standing at the door smoking a cigarette. When he saw Lin Panpan coming out, he put out the cigarette and said, "Panpan..."
Lin Feng glared at him and asked, "How dare you come here?"
Sun Haining sighed and looked at Lin Panpan and said:
"Panpan, I'm sorry about what happened recently, my mom is just like that.
I know I was wrong last time, so I just want to ask if I still have a chance."
Lin Panpan took two steps back and said:
"Sun Haining, how dare you ask me this?
I told you clearly, please stop pestering me, okay? "
Sun Haining bit his lip and said:
"Lin Panpan, I know you like Gu Mobai, but Gu Mobai is from Beijing. I heard he's the prince of the Beijing circle. There's no way you and him will have a future. I'm different!
I earn hundreds of dollars every day, and even thousands of dollars when I'm lucky. I earn no less than him. Can't you give me a chance?"
Lin Panpan looked at him and said, "Sun Haining, just because of your mother, I can't give you another chance. What's more, I don't like you at all."
"My mom...my mom's reason is..." Before Sun Haining could finish his words, he heard his mother's loud voice.
"Sun Haining, where the hell have you been? Come out here right now, do you still have any shame?"
"They don't take you seriously at all, yet you're still so stubborn and insist on throwing yourself at them!" Sun's mother yelled.
Sun Haining was sweating profusely and asked anxiously, "Panpan, my mother is here. Can I go to your house to hide?"
Lin Panpan quickly locked the door and said, "Don't...if you have anything to say, just say it here. If you really come into my house, I won't be able to explain anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sun's mother rushing over with a girl in her twenties.
