The antique street in Xinghai City was formed spontaneously many years ago. In recent years, with the investment in collectibles booming, this antique street has expanded significantly. It is no longer just a street in the traditional sense but has radiated into the surrounding areas, developing a clustering trend.
Furthermore, with the strong promotion from Xinghai City Government, this place is not only frequently visited by locals but also attracts many tourists from across the country.
Instead of calling it an antique street, it could more accurately be described as gambling. Ninety-nine percent of the people lingering in the antique shops every day dream of stumbling upon a gem, hoping to get rich overnight.
Experts in the field say it's a tricky business, and there are countless people like Dai Wangqing who are experts at spotting opportunities.
