[Panjiayuan Shopping Center]
What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!
It's really busy today.
Cheap goods! Cheap goods! Little Brother, come look!
Come look! Come look! All are good stuff!
Take a look. Look at this.
What's your offer?
¥50. ($10 USD)
Young Man, what are you selling?
Just go around and take a look.
- I'll make it a little bit cheaper. - Let's go somewhere else to look. - No, thank you.
Boss, are you buying any items?
Of course. Of course.
Here, look at this one.
Leave. Leave. You better just sell it somewhere else.
But I didn't even name a price yet!
Young Man, don't block my business.
Go. Go.
Go somewhere else to look.
I have a top quality good. Are you buying?
Of course!
This kind of thing?
I have better ones here.
Bing Bing, this shop in Panjiayuan still has some valuable things.
You can take whatever you like.
Mr. Xu thinks highly of you. You can casually choose whatever you like.
This is?
This is Qin Xuanbing, Miss Qin.
Miss Qin, what kind of things do you like?
Jewelry, pottery, calligraphy?
I'll just go around and take a look.
Boss Qian, you don't need to especially take care of me.
Bing Bing,
this is Boss Qian.
He is an expert and authority here in Panjiayuan.
Whosoever comes here has to extend honor to him.
What expert and authority?
That's just to pretend in front of others.
I just work for Mr. Xu... no, not really.
I'm just a booi slave in Mr. Xu's home. ( Booi are the hereditary servile people during the Manchu Dynasty )
This... Boss Qian is really good at making jokes.
I'm done making the tea. How about you first try some?
What type of tea is this?
This is my honored guest. Take out my own tea leaves.
My eyesight is really bad. Excuse me for being disrespectful.
Miss Qin, do whatever you want. I'll be back in a moment.
I've always heard that the Panjiayuan is an interesting place to go.
Now that you brought me here today, I can see that it's true.
In coming here to Beijing this time, you've taken me to a lot of fun places.
Thank you.
No need to be polite with me.
As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
Boss,
I have an item that is over a hundred years old. Are you interested?
Oh? Let me take a look.
Look here.
What's your price?
Did you see that? He knows the real thing.
You name a price, okay?
Five kuai.
How much?
- Five kuai? - Yes.
With you, 5 kuai is ¥50,000, right? ($7,500,00 USD)
Brother.
Your item right here
is only worth this much (¥5 = $10 USD).
If you think that this is ¥50,000,
then that's fine, too.
No, wait.
This is an item that is over a hundred years old!
And it's only worth ¥5?
Don't joke with me!
Your item is really only worth this much!
Brother, are you done joking with me?
Why don't you do this? Go ask around the whole Panjiayuan.
If there is anyone that would be willing to offer more than this,
I'll pay you double the price.
Isn't double the price only ¥10? ($1,50 USD)
Come on, let's go back.
- Boss. - Yes?
Are you selling that?
This? I'm not selling.
I keep this katydid for my own fun. (T/N: long-horned grasshopper)
However,
if you really are interested in it,
I'll give it to you for ¥2,000. ($300 USD)
Deal?
Two thousand!
What are you doing?
We're here to make money,
not to spend it!
Mr. Xu, this one is different from those you've brought back last time.
Although those were also top grade,
they were folk kilns.
This is pure official kiln.
Can she be the same as the others before?
The ones before are only playthings.
This one is of a compatible background to me.
Their family is into international trading.
Not only is she beautiful, she has bearing.
The ones before were not even at the same level as her.
Where is that kiln going?
I'll go see.
- Let's go! - Hey!
Brother, come back! Don't leave yet!
You seem sincere.
Six hundred, and you can take it away.
Five, just ¥5, is that fine?
Here, I'll buy it.
No, why are you buying that?
I could see history from it.
I also saw it!
I saw your future, too! What a fool you are to be tricked of ¥600. ($90,00 USD)
Boss, can you sell that to me?
Oh? Sorry.
This brother already bought it.
Friend, name a price.
Mr. Zhuang,
my friend really likes that item of yours.
But I know that a gentleman does not rob others of what they like.
I can pay double the price
to buy this... bottle gourd.
But I'm not planning on selling this?
Sell!
It's not that we're not selling,
we just need to negotiate a good price. Right?
All right.
Pleas name a price then.
Five thousand?
Fifty thousand.
Young guy, are you a Leo?
Why are you showering me with meteor rain?
Starting with such a high price, who will be able to afford it?
Just one look and I know that you're a person with taste.
To be honest, we have lots of good things with us.
I just happen to have an antique with me, too.
It's centuries old. Guaranteed to be so old.
If you are interested,
why not buy both?
If you take this, we can give you
that gourd as an add-on. How about it?
How great is this deal?!
You'll be able to get a good item and even amuse the pretty lady.
Both sides are satisfied, right?
I... would try to mediate.
If this deal is made, it will benefit both parties.
Mr. Zhuang, why not take a step back?
Ten thousand yuan ($1,500 USD), how about it?
I really am not planning on selling this.
Brother Zhuang, just how many minutes have passed?
After just taking a few steps and going around our shop,
the thing in your hand has already increased more than ten times its original price.
If you still don't name a price, it will be ruined in your hands.
If you want ¥50,000, then I'll pay ¥50,000.
It's just a little amount. It's rare that Bing Bing likes something.
Isn't it just a black bottle gourd?
This isn't black.
It's red.
Is there something wrong with your eyes?
That is clearly black.
Tell me. Where is it red?
It might actually be red.
- Uncle De. - Uncle De is here.
Uncle De is here!
- Uncle De. - Boss Qian, it's been a long time since we met. Why did you come to honor my little shop with your presence?
I'm just walking around. How is your business?
By the luck you bring, it's quite good.
That's great.
Let me see.
Who is that?
Uncle De, an elder. Professor at the History Department of Beijing University.
He's an expert and authority on the restoration of cultural relics.
Zhuang Rui,
looks like your stay in Ling He Pawnshop for the past year had not been wasted.
Not bad. If I didn't pay close attention, I wouldn't be able to see it, either.
How is it? Are you planning to keep this for yourself, or going to put it out?
Out! Out! Uncle De.
Can you name a price?
Uncle De, if you like it, I'll gift it to you.
No way. No way.
If you really want to sell it, how about this?
I'll give you ¥100,000. ($15,000 USD)
Does this rotten black bottle gourd really cost ¥100,000?
This isn't black. It's red.
I'm sorry, am I color blind?
Or can't all of you tell the difference between red and black?
Uncle De, based on what you said then, this is a good thing?
Zhuang Rui, do you want to wash it?
- I'll listen to Uncle De. - I'll make the decision for you then.
Boss Qian, may I borrow your Chinese wood oil and the finest gauze that you have here.
Okay.
Do you want to do it?
Uncle De, you can do it.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki
Isn't this a Sanhe Liu? (Qing Dynasty antique made by a person by the surname of Liu who lives in Shahe and exclusively distributed by a person named Zhang San)
Zhuang Rui, how were you able to identify it?
Just a feeling. It feels very similar to that bajian (an item that aristocrats usually hold/rubs/play with to pass away the time)
you gave me.
That bajian and this bottle gourd were made around the same year.
They were made in the late period of Emperor Guangxu.
Would Boss Qian like to have a look?
Take it. Have a look.
Everything is right.
This young fellow,
his eyesight is not bad.
So, as I said just now, ¥100,000 is a cheap price. You got a cheap deal!
That was really a very cheap deal!
Regarding this Sanhe Liu, what is it all about?
Boss Qian, can you explain quickly to Bing Bing what is Sanhe Liu?
This San... Uncle De is here.
How can I show off the little knowledge that I have in front of the expert?
- Of course, it must be Uncle De. - Okay. Okay, I will explain.
In early times, katydids and bottle gourds are the play things of the aristocratic and imperial families.
Later, when it spread to the common people, the first person to start to make bottle gourds was Sanhe Liu.
Those used by the aristocratic and imperial families were called official molds.
But the bottle gourds made by Sanhe Liu were different from the official molds.
The bodies of his bottle gourds were loose, smooth, and understated.
The katydid could live comfortably inside, and the sense of resonance was also good.
So its calls were bright and clear, and this was very important. This is what it is all about.
For such a treasure,
I sold it for ¥600! ($90,00)
You regret it, right? There's no more chance now.
Why don't we sell it?
- I already promised to gift it to Uncle De. - No. That won't do.
Just now, when I called ¥100,000, that's already taking advantage of you.
Now, the truth about this bottle gourd is revealed.
It is worth far more than ¥100,000.
I'll buy it for ¥300,000. ($45,000)
What ever Bing Bing likes, I'll always buy.
Three... Three hundred thousand?! Consider it.
A Sanhe Liu bottle gourd that's been appraised by Uncle De,
¥300,000 is a good price.
- I'll pay ¥600,000! ($100,000) - What?!
Brother, I'll buy this bottle gourd back for ¥600,000.
In between, you made a profit of a thousand times. That's really not bad!
- Isn't it so? - Yes! Yes!
¥800,000. ($120,000)
¥800,000?! ¥800,000 works. Okay.
Do you still want to increase the price?
I definitely will get this bottle gourd today.
- Okay. Okay, Bro... - Bing Bing,
as long as you like it, I will buy it for you.
I think you like that katydid more, right?
Why don't I gift the katydid to you?
Thank you.
Okay, I'll go off first, everyone.
Uncle De, please take care.
- I won't see you out. - Please take care.
The house I'm staying at is not even as expensive as that gourd the katydid stays in.
Uncle De, I bought the bottle gourd for ¥600.
Now that I sold it for so much money, shouldn't I compensate something to that seller?
We have an old rule in the antique field that has been around for centuries.
When you have sold it, let go. The goods are delivered and the bill is cleared.
Those who did not make good judgement and got something bad are quite common.
- Don't think too much about it. Just keep working hard. - That's right.
- Okay. - Uncle De.
I have something good here.
An antique that is more than a hundred years old. Really old!
Please take a look. Is it good? Is it good?
It's good, really good.
Keep it well for your own pleasure.
How much is it worth?
It's not worth as much as that katydid.
Remember to collect the money.
Ones, tens,
hundreds, thousands...
Ones, tens, hundreds,
- thousands, ten thousands, - No. No.
hundred thousands, millions,
thousand...
No, you've got it all wrong. You should start counting from the decimal. Do it this way.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands.
Let's count again. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands,
hundred thousands! Xiao Rui,
we are rich from now on!
- Okay. Okay. Keep calm. Keep calm. - That's right. We're rich now.
We must keep a low profile. Let's eat something delicious tonight.
That we must!
- Let's go. Let's go and get a bicycle. - What?
Get a bicycle.
Is a bicycle suitable for us?
Then we'll get two bicycles.
We should get a taxi. A special taxi; a limousine.
- Let's go. - A limousine is expensive.
You...
How were you able to discover that bottle gourd today?
Feeling. It's really just a feeling.
That is to say,
you did learn quite a lot of real things these last few years when you were in the History Department of Peking University and Ling He Pawnshop.
That's not correct. If you were really that incredible,
why were you in such a bad state previously?
I...
Looks like it's still because of me.
If I hadn't insisted that you go to that Panjiayuan,
would you have scored such a big scoop?
That is to say, I'm your lucky charm.
You have to treat me better.
Coming! Coming!
Hello, here's your take-away.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
How many things did you actually order?
I ordered a few bottles of beer.
Special craft beer. Not only must we get full from the food, we must be satisfied with drinks.
That makes it more perfect.
Forget it. You don't even drink.
Happy.
I have to take a photo to send to my friends.
So much food.
[RMB ¥200,000 has been transferred to your savings account ending with 8023. Jian She Bank] ($30,000 USD)
Xiao Rui, why did you...
Didn't you say that when we have money, you'll pay the rent,
pay up your debts, and everything will be okay?
So go and pay.
But this is your money. I can't take your...
What yours or mine?
Didn't you say that your are my luck charm and want me to treat you better?
Then, there's nothing I can repay you with.
That... I'll give the snuff bottle to you.
Snuff bottle?
It's an antique.
From some centuries old dynasty.
A very old stuff!
I feel that it's really strange.
Why didn't they take the expensive things,
and just set their eyes on this small piece of translucent jade?
Aren't you always boasting that you're very incredible?
Help me take a look and see what's going on.
Can you or can't you?
I have already finished drinking my soup. Did you see anything?
I have another way of doing it.
No need to have another way.
Based on your standard, how did you get the nerve to start a shop in Panjiayuan?
Why don't we go and see my grandfather?
Your grandfather?
That's right.
My grandfather is really smart. He's an expert in the authentication of jade and precious stone.
If he claims to be the second, no one would dare to say he's the first.
But this broken jade is evidence.
You can't just bring it out casually.
Why don't we do this? Come and look for me tomorrow.
- I will complete a procedure and the two of us will go together. - Okay.
What are you doing? Why aren't you already sleeping at this late hour?
[What to do if you're having visual hallucinations]
Xiao Rui,
this is not a hallucination. It's real.
The two of us really made ¥800,000. ($120,000 USD)
Come, let's count together.
Look.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands,
hundred thousands.
Okay, don't think about it anymore. Go to bed quickly.
Feifei, don't ride too fast.
Let me tell you. If we do it properly,
we would definitely be able to earn money. Do you know that?
You just won't listen to me. This will definitely work.
I can't.
You can.
I really can't.
You definitely can.
I can't make the right identification every time.
You don't need to make the right identification every time. One time out of ten is sufficient.
Do you know that old man Marx once said that
this...
If there's a profit of 50%,
take the risk and invest.
If there's a profit of 100%,
they can then trample on all the laws in the world.
If there's 300%,
they would take the risk of having their heads cut off.
You... Let me count.
This is a rate of return of 100,000%!
So, even if it's climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames, we will still go!
Just talk. Don't spit out your saliva, okay?
Okay.
Breakfast is here.
We have agreed, okay?
We'll make a trip to Panjiayuan today.
If we continue to develop according to this trend of ours,
we will become national husbands, wrong.
It's fathers of all the people very soon!
Breakfast is here.
Let's eat.
Have you ordered too much again?
Isn't it wasteful?
Is it too much? Is it wasteful?
I only ordered four cups of soy milk.
This is the standard for rich people like us.
We will make up for all those breakfast that
we didn't get the chance to eat.
There's nothing I can do about it!
We are rich now.
We need to speak in this tone of voice. Eat!
I'll just drink one cup.
[Lin Chun Qing]
[Closed]
There's not much real value in this thing.
It's just an ordinary piece of translucent jade.
In ancient times, people carved this kind of jade into eyes.
Furthermore, this is not a good piece of jade.
It's an ordinary piece of green-white jade.
Your skills are not bad.
But...
this kind of jade is usually carved into a pair.
This is the left eye. There should be a right eye.
- Grandfather Gu. - Yes?
Are they then trying to match it into a pair?
Isn't there a saying like this, that only cultural relics that are in pairs are valuable?
This thing,
it would not be worth much even if you match it into a pair.
[Yi Ming Hall]
[District One] [Row 21 , Nos 1 - 23]
What are you doing? Can't you see that there are people here?
No, the two of you have been looking for half a day.
Are you buying or not?
No, I'll buy if I see something I like.
So novel. My shop is full of good things.
Can you afford them?
Can we afford them?
Hello! Hello! Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
Come! Come!
That...
He is looking for Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelains.
Yuan blue and white porcelains!
What is the price range?
He doesn't look terribly rich,
but I think around one million USD shouldn't be a problem.
Okay. Okay.
You could buy the most authentic blue and white here.
- They are the best in Beijing... - Wow. - Very good.
- ...and in China.
Grandfather, thank you so much for all the hard work for today.
Not at all. Let me tell you this. When one gets old,
we need to expend some spare energy and contribute to society.
As the common saying goes, "Life is not just drifting along as we know."
- There is— - Grandfather!
Can you drift along first and play your game? I'm going to send Feifei off.
Grandfather, I'll join you in your game next time.
- Okay! - We're going now!
This fellow! He dares to make use of me to go after a girl!
Feifei, that...
Shall we go for a hotpot meal later?
Feifei, what is it?
Feifei, wait for me!
Look, it's made...Yuan Dynasty.
- It's very good. - This kind of operation still exists?
Why aren't the two of you gone yet? Go! Go! Go!
There're no real goods in this store. All the things are fake.
I'm sure that trash is not blue and white porcelain, just a copy.
Thank you.
- Why has he left? - These two fellow said that your vase is a fake.
Rascal! Stop!
- Quickly, let's go! - Stop!
- What do you want? - Rascal! Do you know that the two of you are in trouble today?
Give me ¥10,000 quickly and that porcelain vase is yours! ($1,500 USD)
How can there be such unreasonable terms still?
Why should I spend money to buy a fake?
What are you talking about? Fake?
That was a real Yuan blue and white porcelain!
Who told you it's a fake? What do you know? What do you know?
I know. Do you know?
Let me tell you this. Give me the money quickly, or you won't walk out of Panjiayuan today!
Hey, do you think rich people like us are fools?
- Quickly, release you hand. Would you believe that I'll dial 110? - Who are you?
What did you say? You're going to dial 110?
- You ruined my business and you want to dial 110? - Hey!
- Don't use force! - Would you believe that I'll beat you up so badly, you'll be disabled? You're going to dial 110?
You have to pay the price for fraudulent practice of creating fake ware! Let go of me!
Don't behave like that. Let's talk about it.
Let go of me!
- Out of the way! Out of the way! - Police Officer Miao! Police Officer Miao!
They are trying to trick a foreigner.
- Let go of me! - When I discovered what he was doing, he wanted me to compensate him.
Police Officer Miao! Police Officer Miao!
Aren't you going to investigate? You're the police!
Are you the police comrade? Police comrade, this is what happened.
I was going about doing my business in my shop.
The two of them just came out of no where and ruined my business.
Say, shouldn't they compensate me a little?
Do you think I don't know what tricks you're up to?
Do you want to go to the police station with me to clarify everything?
Okay, what the government said is correct.
Just take it that it's my bad luck. Bad luck.
It's my bad luck.
He was so aggressive.
- Thank you, Police Officer Miao. - You...
Come over here.
Speak. What is it this time?
What do you want me to say, Police Comrade?
You were there when the pawn shop was burglarized.
Today, I'm pursuing a suspect. When I almost caught him, you blocked me.
Don't tell me that this is also a coincidence?
I don't know why, either. It's just so coincidental!
Coincidence.
Sister Police.
It's comrade.
Police Comrade, it is true that the two of us were out here shopping.
There was an argument with the shopkeeper earlier.
But, as you saw it, it had nothing to do with us.
- Go. - Let's go.
Wait!
Add your WeChat here.
Okay.
Can we go now?
You can.
Sister Police, no, Comrade, that...
Can I add my WeChat, too?
Feifei!
Found you at last.
Let's go.
- Feifei! - Speak.
Let me ask you this. What's your relationship with that fellow earlier?
Related to a case. Don't ask useless questions.
Catch them!
- Don't move! - What are you guys doing?!
Beat you to death! Beat you to death! Feifei! Get lost!
Quickly! Get into the van quickly!
The police will surely arrest you!
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand,
- hundred thousand. - We are rich from now onwards!
