[Panjiayuan Shopping Center]

14

What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!

15

It's really busy today.

16

Cheap goods! Cheap goods! Little Brother, come look!

17

Come look! Come look! All are good stuff!

18

Take a look. Look at this.

19

What's your offer?

20

¥50. ($10 USD)

21

Young Man, what are you selling?

22

Just go around and take a look.

23

- I'll make it a little bit cheaper.

- Let's go somewhere else to look.

- No, thank you.

24

Boss, are you buying any items?

25

Of course. Of course.

26

Here, look at this one.

27

Leave. Leave. You better just sell it somewhere else.

28

But I didn't even name a price yet!

29

Young Man, don't block my business.

30

Go. Go.

31

Go somewhere else to look.

32

I have a top quality good. Are you buying?

33

Of course!

34

This kind of thing?

35

I have better ones here.

36

Bing Bing, this shop in Panjiayuan still has some valuable things.

37

You can take whatever you like.

38

Mr. Xu thinks highly of you. You can casually choose whatever you like.

39

This is?

40

This is Qin Xuanbing, Miss Qin.

41

Miss Qin, what kind of things do you like?

42

Jewelry, pottery, calligraphy?

43

I'll just go around and take a look.

44

Boss Qian, you don't need to especially take care of me.

45

Bing Bing,

46

this is Boss Qian.

47

He is an expert and authority here in Panjiayuan.

48

Whosoever comes here has to extend honor to him.

49

What expert and authority?

50

That's just to pretend in front of others.

51

I just work for Mr. Xu... no, not really.

52

I'm just a booi slave in Mr. Xu's home.

( Booi are the hereditary servile people during the Manchu Dynasty )

53

This... Boss Qian is really good at making jokes.

54

I'm done making the tea. How about you first try some?

55

What type of tea is this?

56

This is my honored guest. Take out my own tea leaves.

57

My eyesight is really bad. Excuse me for being disrespectful.

58

Miss Qin, do whatever you want. I'll be back in a moment.

59

I've always heard that the Panjiayuan is an interesting place to go.

60

Now that you brought me here today, I can see that it's true.

61

In coming here to Beijing this time, you've taken me to a lot of fun places.

62

Thank you.

63

No need to be polite with me.

64

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

65

Boss,

66

I have an item that is over a hundred years old. Are you interested?

67

Oh? Let me take a look.

68

Look here.

69

What's your price?

70

Did you see that? He knows the real thing.

71

You name a price, okay?

72

Five kuai.

73

How much?

74

- Five kuai?

- Yes.

75

With you, 5 kuai is ¥50,000, right?

($7,500,00 USD)

76

Brother.

77

Your item right here

78

is only worth this much (¥5 = $10 USD).

79

If you think that this is ¥50,000,

80

then that's fine, too.

81

No, wait.

82

This is an item that is over a hundred years old!

83

And it's only worth ¥5?

84

Don't joke with me!

85

Your item is really only worth this much!

86

Brother, are you done joking with me?

87

Why don't you do this? Go ask around the whole Panjiayuan.

88

If there is anyone that would be willing to offer more than this,

89

I'll pay you double the price.

90

Isn't double the price only ¥10? ($1,50 USD)

91

Come on, let's go back.

92

- Boss.

- Yes?

93

Are you selling that?

94

This? I'm not selling.

95

I keep this katydid for my own fun.

(T/N: long-horned grasshopper)

96

However,

97

if you really are interested in it,

98

I'll give it to you for ¥2,000.

($300 USD)

99

Deal?

100

Two thousand!

101

What are you doing?

102

We're here to make money,

103

not to spend it!

104

Mr. Xu, this one is different from those you've brought back last time.

105

Although those were also top grade,

106

they were folk kilns.

107

This is pure official kiln.

108

Can she be the same as the others before?

109

The ones before are only playthings.

110

This one is of a compatible background to me.

111

Their family is into international trading.

112

Not only is she beautiful, she has bearing.

113

The ones before were not even at the same level as her.

114

Where is that kiln going?

115

I'll go see.

116

- Let's go!

- Hey!

117

Brother, come back! Don't leave yet!

118

You seem sincere.

119

Six hundred, and you can take it away.

120

Five, just ¥5, is that fine?

121

Here, I'll buy it.

122

No, why are you buying that?

123

I could see history from it.

124

I also saw it!

125

I saw your future, too! What a fool you are to be tricked of ¥600. ($90,00 USD)

126

Boss, can you sell that to me?

127

Oh? Sorry.

128

This brother already bought it.

129

Friend, name a price.

130

Mr. Zhuang,

131

my friend really likes that item of yours.

132

But I know that a gentleman does not rob others of what they like.

133

I can pay double the price

134

to buy this... bottle gourd.

135

But I'm not planning on selling this?

136

Sell!

137

It's not that we're not selling,

138

we just need to negotiate a good price. Right?

139

All right.

140

Pleas name a price then.

141

Five thousand?

142

Fifty thousand.

143

Young guy, are you a Leo?

144

Why are you showering me with meteor rain?

145

Starting with such a high price, who will be able to afford it?

146

Just one look and I know that you're a person with taste.

147

To be honest, we have lots of good things with us.

148

I just happen to have an antique with me, too.

149

It's centuries old. Guaranteed to be so old.

150

If you are interested,

151

why not buy both?

152

If you take this, we can give you

153

that gourd as an add-on. How about it?

154

How great is this deal?!

155

You'll be able to get a good item and even amuse the pretty lady.

156

Both sides are satisfied, right?

157

I... would try to mediate.

158

If this deal is made, it will benefit both parties.

159

Mr. Zhuang, why not take a step back?

160

Ten thousand yuan ($1,500 USD), how about it?

161

I really am not planning on selling this.

162

Brother Zhuang, just how many minutes have passed?

163

After just taking a few steps and going around our shop,

164

the thing in your hand has already increased more than ten times its original price.

165

If you still don't name a price, it will be ruined in your hands.

166

If you want ¥50,000, then I'll pay ¥50,000.

167

It's just a little amount. It's rare that Bing Bing likes something.

168

Isn't it just a black bottle gourd?

169

This isn't black.

170

It's red.

171

Is there something wrong with your eyes?

172

That is clearly black.

173

Tell me. Where is it red?

174

It might actually be red.

175

- Uncle De.

- Uncle De is here.

176

Uncle De is here!

177

- 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?

178

I'm just walking around. How is your business?

179

By the luck you bring, it's quite good.

180

That's great.

181

Let me see.

182

Who is that?

183

Uncle De, an elder. Professor at the History Department of Beijing University.

184

He's an expert and authority on the restoration of cultural relics.

185

Zhuang Rui,

186

looks like your stay in Ling He Pawnshop for the past year had not been wasted.

187

Not bad. If I didn't pay close attention, I wouldn't be able to see it, either.

188

How is it? Are you planning to keep this for yourself, or going to put it out?

189

Out! Out! Uncle De.

190

Can you name a price?

191

Uncle De, if you like it, I'll gift it to you.

192

No way. No way.

193

If you really want to sell it, how about this?

194

I'll give you ¥100,000.

($15,000 USD)

195

Does this rotten black bottle gourd really cost ¥100,000?

196

This isn't black. It's red.

197

I'm sorry, am I color blind?

198

Or can't all of you tell the difference between red and black?

199

Uncle De, based on what you said then, this is a good thing?

200

Zhuang Rui, do you want to wash it?

201

- I'll listen to Uncle De.

- I'll make the decision for you then.

202

Boss Qian, may I borrow your Chinese wood oil and the finest gauze that you have here.

203

Okay.

204

Do you want to do it?

205

Uncle De, you can do it.

206

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki

207

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)

208

Zhuang Rui, how were you able to identify it?

209

Just a feeling. It feels very similar to that bajian (an item that aristocrats usually hold/rubs/play with to pass away the time)

210

you gave me.

211

That bajian and this bottle gourd were made around the same year.

212

They were made in the late period of Emperor Guangxu.

213

Would Boss Qian like to have a look?

214

Take it. Have a look.

215

Everything is right.

216

Everything is right.

217

This young fellow,

218

his eyesight is not bad.

219

So, as I said just now, ¥100,000 is a cheap price. You got a cheap deal!

220

That was really a very cheap deal!

221

Regarding this Sanhe Liu, what is it all about?

222

Boss Qian, can you explain quickly to Bing Bing what is Sanhe Liu?

223

This San... Uncle De is here.

224

How can I show off the little knowledge that I have in front of the expert?

225

- Of course, it must be Uncle De.

- Okay. Okay, I will explain.

226

In early times, katydids and bottle gourds are the play things of the aristocratic and imperial families.

227

Later, when it spread to the common people, the first person to start to make bottle gourds was Sanhe Liu.

228

Those used by the aristocratic and imperial families were called official molds.

229

But the bottle gourds made by Sanhe Liu were different from the official molds.

230

The bodies of his bottle gourds were loose, smooth, and understated.

231

The katydid could live comfortably inside, and the sense of resonance was also good.

232

So its calls were bright and clear, and this was very important. This is what it is all about.

233

For such a treasure,

234

I sold it for ¥600!

($90,00)

235

You regret it, right? There's no more chance now.

236

Why don't we sell it?

237

- I already promised to gift it to Uncle De.

- No. That won't do.

238

Just now, when I called ¥100,000, that's already taking advantage of you.

239

Now, the truth about this bottle gourd is revealed.

240

It is worth far more than ¥100,000.

241

I'll buy it for ¥300,000.

($45,000)

242

What ever Bing Bing likes, I'll always buy.

243

Three... Three hundred thousand?! Consider it.

244

A Sanhe Liu bottle gourd that's been appraised by Uncle De,

245

¥300,000 is a good price.

246

- I'll pay ¥600,000! ($100,000)

- What?!

247

Brother, I'll buy this bottle gourd back for ¥600,000.

248

In between, you made a profit of a thousand times. That's really not bad!

249

- Isn't it so?

- Yes! Yes!

250

¥800,000. ($120,000)

251

¥800,000?! ¥800,000 works. Okay.

252

Do you still want to increase the price?

253

I definitely will get this bottle gourd today.

254

- Okay. Okay, Bro...

- Bing Bing,

255

as long as you like it, I will buy it for you.

256

I think you like that katydid more, right?

257

Why don't I gift the katydid to you?

258

Thank you.

259

Okay, I'll go off first, everyone.

260

Uncle De, please take care.

261

- I won't see you out.

- Please take care.

262

The house I'm staying at is not even as expensive as that gourd the katydid stays in.

263

Uncle De, I bought the bottle gourd for ¥600.

264

Now that I sold it for so much money, shouldn't I compensate something to that seller?

265

We have an old rule in the antique field that has been around for centuries.

266

When you have sold it, let go. The goods are delivered and the bill is cleared.

267

Those who did not make good judgement and got something bad are quite common.

268

- Don't think too much about it. Just keep working hard.

- That's right.

269

- Okay.

- Uncle De.

270

I have something good here.

271

An antique that is more than a hundred years old. Really old!

272

Please take a look. Is it good? Is it good?

273

It's good, really good.

274

Keep it well for your own pleasure.

275

How much is it worth?

276

It's not worth as much as that katydid.

277

Remember to collect the money.

278

Ones, tens,

279

hundreds, thousands...

280

Ones, tens, hundreds,

281

- thousands, ten thousands,

- No. No.

282

hundred thousands, millions,

283

thousand...

284

No, you've got it all wrong. You should start counting from the decimal. Do it this way.

285

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands.

286

Let's count again. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands,

287

hundred thousands! Xiao Rui,

288

we are rich from now on!

289

- Okay. Okay. Keep calm. Keep calm.

- That's right. We're rich now.

290

We must keep a low profile. Let's eat something delicious tonight.

291

That we must!

292

- Let's go. Let's go and get a bicycle.

- What?

293

Get a bicycle.

294

Is a bicycle suitable for us?

295

Then we'll get two bicycles.

296

We should get a taxi. A special taxi; a limousine.

297

- Let's go.

- A limousine is expensive.

298

You...

299

How were you able to discover that bottle gourd today?

300

Feeling. It's really just a feeling.

301

That is to say,

302

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.

303

That's not correct. If you were really that incredible,

304

why were you in such a bad state previously?

305

I...

306

Looks like it's still because of me.

307

If I hadn't insisted that you go to that Panjiayuan,

308

would you have scored such a big scoop?

309

That is to say, I'm your lucky charm.

310

You have to treat me better.

311

Coming! Coming!

312

Coming! Coming!

313

Hello, here's your take-away.

314

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

315

How many things did you actually order?

316

I ordered a few bottles of beer.

317

Special craft beer. Not only must we get full from the food, we must be satisfied with drinks.

318

That makes it more perfect.

319

Forget it. You don't even drink.

320

Happy.

321

I have to take a photo to send to my friends.

322

So much food.

323

[RMB ¥200,000 has been transferred to your savings account ending with 8023. Jian She Bank]

($30,000 USD)

324

Xiao Rui, why did you...

325

Didn't you say that when we have money, you'll pay the rent,

326

pay up your debts, and everything will be okay?

327

So go and pay.

328

But this is your money. I can't take your...

329

What yours or mine?

330

Didn't you say that your are my luck charm and want me to treat you better?

331

Then, there's nothing I can repay you with.

332

That... I'll give the snuff bottle to you.

333

Snuff bottle?

334

It's an antique.

335

From some centuries old dynasty.

336

A very old stuff!

337

I feel that it's really strange.

338

Why didn't they take the expensive things,

339

and just set their eyes on this small piece of translucent jade?

340

Aren't you always boasting that you're very incredible?

341

Help me take a look and see what's going on.

342

Can you or can't you?

343

I have already finished drinking my soup. Did you see anything?

344

I have another way of doing it.

345

No need to have another way.

346

Based on your standard, how did you get the nerve to start a shop in Panjiayuan?

347

Why don't we go and see my grandfather?

348

Your grandfather?

349

That's right.

350

My grandfather is really smart. He's an expert in the authentication of jade and precious stone.

351

If he claims to be the second, no one would dare to say he's the first.

352

But this broken jade is evidence.

353

You can't just bring it out casually.

354

Why don't we do this? Come and look for me tomorrow.

355

- I will complete a procedure and the two of us will go together.

- Okay.

356

What are you doing? Why aren't you already sleeping at this late hour?

357

[What to do if you're having visual hallucinations]

358

Xiao Rui,

359

this is not a hallucination. It's real.

360

The two of us really made ¥800,000.

($120,000 USD)

361

Come, let's count together.

362

Look.

363

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands,

364

hundred thousands.

365

Okay, don't think about it anymore. Go to bed quickly.

366

Feifei, don't ride too fast.

367

Let me tell you. If we do it properly,

368

we would definitely be able to earn money. Do you know that?

369

You just won't listen to me. This will definitely work.

370

I can't.

371

You can.

372

I really can't.

373

You definitely can.

374

I can't make the right identification every time.

375

You don't need to make the right identification every time. One time out of ten is sufficient.

376

Do you know that old man Marx once said that

377

this...

378

If there's a profit of 50%,

379

take the risk and invest.

380

If there's a profit of 100%,

381

they can then trample on all the laws in the world.

382

If there's 300%,

383

they would take the risk of having their heads cut off.

384

You... Let me count.

385

This is a rate of return of 100,000%!

386

So, even if it's climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames, we will still go!

387

Just talk. Don't spit out your saliva, okay?

388

Okay.

389

Breakfast is here.

390

We have agreed, okay?

391

We'll make a trip to Panjiayuan today.

392

If we continue to develop according to this trend of ours,

393

we will become national husbands, wrong.

394

It's fathers of all the people very soon!

395

Breakfast is here.

396

Let's eat.

397

Have you ordered too much again?

398

Isn't it wasteful?

399

Is it too much? Is it wasteful?

400

I only ordered four cups of soy milk.

401

This is the standard for rich people like us.

402

We will make up for all those breakfast that

403

we didn't get the chance to eat.

404

There's nothing I can do about it!

405

We are rich now.

406

We need to speak in this tone of voice. Eat!

407

I'll just drink one cup.

408

[Lin Chun Qing]

409

[Closed]

410

There's not much real value in this thing.

411

It's just an ordinary piece of translucent jade.

412

In ancient times, people carved this kind of jade into eyes.

413

Furthermore, this is not a good piece of jade.

414

It's an ordinary piece of green-white jade.

415

Your skills are not bad.

416

But...

417

this kind of jade is usually carved into a pair.

418

This is the left eye. There should be a right eye.

419

- Grandfather Gu.

- Yes?

420

Are they then trying to match it into a pair?

421

Isn't there a saying like this, that only cultural relics that are in pairs are valuable?

422

This thing,

423

it would not be worth much even if you match it into a pair.

424

[Yi Ming Hall]

425

[District One]

[Row 21 , Nos 1 - 23]

426

What are you doing? Can't you see that there are people here?

427

No, the two of you have been looking for half a day.

428

Are you buying or not?

429

No, I'll buy if I see something I like.

430

So novel. My shop is full of good things.

431

Can you afford them?

432

Can we afford them?

433

Hello! Hello! Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

434

Come! Come!

435

That...

436

He is looking for Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelains.

437

Yuan blue and white porcelains!

438

What is the price range?

439

He doesn't look terribly rich,

440

but I think around one million USD shouldn't be a problem.

441

Okay. Okay.

442

You could buy the most authentic blue and white here.

443

- They are the best in Beijing...

- Wow.

- Very good.

444

- Very good.

- ...and in China.

445

Grandfather, thank you so much for all the hard work for today.

446

Not at all. Let me tell you this. When one gets old,

447

we need to expend some spare energy and contribute to society.

448

As the common saying goes, "Life is not just drifting along as we know."

449

- There is—

- Grandfather!

450

Can you drift along first and play your game? I'm going to send Feifei off.

451

Grandfather, I'll join you in your game next time.

452

- Okay!

- We're going now!

453

This fellow! He dares to make use of me to go after a girl!

454

Feifei, that...

455

Shall we go for a hotpot meal later?

456

Feifei, what is it?

457

Feifei, wait for me!

458

Look, it's made...Yuan Dynasty.

459

- It's very good.

- This kind of operation still exists?

460

Why aren't the two of you gone yet? Go! Go! Go!

461

There're no real goods in this store. All the things are fake.

462

I'm sure that trash is not blue and white porcelain, just a copy.

463

Thank you.

464

- Why has he left?

- These two fellow said that your vase is a fake.

465

Rascal! Stop!

466

- Quickly, let's go!

- Stop!

467

- What do you want?

- Rascal! Do you know that the two of you are in trouble today?

468

Give me ¥10,000 quickly and that porcelain vase is yours!

($1,500 USD)

469

How can there be such unreasonable terms still?

470

Why should I spend money to buy a fake?

471

What are you talking about? Fake?

472

That was a real Yuan blue and white porcelain!

473

Who told you it's a fake? What do you know? What do you know?

474

I know. Do you know?

475

Let me tell you this. Give me the money quickly, or you won't walk out of Panjiayuan today!

476

Hey, do you think rich people like us are fools?

477

- Quickly, release you hand. Would you believe that I'll dial 110?

- Who are you?

478

What did you say? You're going to dial 110?

479

- You ruined my business and you want to dial 110?

- Hey!

480

- 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?

481

You have to pay the price for fraudulent practice of creating fake ware! Let go of me!

482

Don't behave like that. Let's talk about it.

483

Let go of me!

484

- Out of the way! Out of the way!

- Police Officer Miao! Police Officer Miao!

485

They are trying to trick a foreigner.

486

- Let go of me!

- When I discovered what he was doing, he wanted me to compensate him.

487

Police Officer Miao! Police Officer Miao!

488

Aren't you going to investigate? You're the police!

489

Are you the police comrade? Police comrade, this is what happened.

490

I was going about doing my business in my shop.

491

The two of them just came out of no where and ruined my business.

492

Say, shouldn't they compensate me a little?

493

Do you think I don't know what tricks you're up to?

494

Do you want to go to the police station with me to clarify everything?

495

Okay, what the government said is correct.

496

Just take it that it's my bad luck. Bad luck.

497

It's my bad luck.

498

He was so aggressive.

499

- Thank you, Police Officer Miao.

- You...

500

Come over here.

501

Speak. What is it this time?

502

What do you want me to say, Police Comrade?

503

You were there when the pawn shop was burglarized.

504

Today, I'm pursuing a suspect. When I almost caught him, you blocked me.

505

Don't tell me that this is also a coincidence?

506

I don't know why, either. It's just so coincidental!

507

Coincidence.

508

Sister Police.

509

It's comrade.

510

Police Comrade, it is true that the two of us were out here shopping.

511

There was an argument with the shopkeeper earlier.

512

But, as you saw it, it had nothing to do with us.

513

- Go.

- Let's go.

514

Wait!

515

Add your WeChat here.

516

Okay.

517

Can we go now?

518

You can.

519

Sister Police, no, Comrade, that...

520

Can I add my WeChat, too?

521

Feifei!

522

Found you at last.

523

Let's go.

524

- Feifei!

- Speak.

525

Let me ask you this. What's your relationship with that fellow earlier?

526

Related to a case. Don't ask useless questions.

527

Catch them!

528

- Don't move!

- What are you guys doing?!

529

Beat you to death! Beat you to death! Feifei! Get lost!

530

Quickly! Get into the van quickly!

531

The police will surely arrest you!

532

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand,

533

- hundred thousand.

- We are rich from now onwards!
