Chapter 24: The Afterlife is Terrifying
"That's what Elder Zhang said. Wu Duo is neither humble nor arrogant, "However, in a few years, I am afraid that I will not be able to buy eight million." โ
Zhang Chengjin laughed, "You are appreciating the buyer's collection and giving it an advance!"
"I'm young, and there is something wrong with what I said, Zhang Lao, you can bear with me. Wu Duoying said, "The so-called market price is actually just the transaction price that can be referred to at the moment. However, no matter how close the transaction price is, it is in the past. There are some things that may last for a long time, but I don't think it's too much to describe such things as unattainable. โ
"Well said. Zhang Chengjin said, "So, listen to what you mean, you won't let the price go up?"
"Yes. Wu Duo nodded solemnly.
Zhang Chengjin looked at Lao Pan at this time.
Lao Pan looked at Wu Duo again, "That's it, Xiao Wu, Zhang Lao is very sincere at first glance, can you give in a little more?"
Wu Duo waved his hand, "Director Pan, at first I didn't expect you to introduce Zhang Lao, and Zhang Lao didn't look down on me as a junior, and gave sex seriously." In this case, I made up my mind not to make a counteroffer in front of you, Director Pan, but Zhang Lao came and changed his hexagram, which is not only disrespectful to you, but also disrespectful to Zhang Lao, and moreover, disrespectful to this heavy weapon!"
"The future is terrifying!" Zhang Chengjin bowed slightly.
After a pause, "More than ten years ago, I once saw a Yuan blue and white goblet at an auction on Hong Kong Island, which was about the same size as yours, the picture was different, the cup wall was entwined with branches and lotus patterns, and the water birds in the lotus pond in the heart of the cup, the starting price at that time was 1.8 million, but the auction failed; โ
"Oh?" Wu Duo and Lao Pan asked in unison.
Zhang Chengjin smiled bitterly, "Because at that time, I didn't think the small Yuan Qinghua was meaningful, and I also took a fancy to an old kiln, so I focused on how to bid for it." โ
The so-called old kiln is a general term for the antique shop, which roughly refers to the porcelain before the Yuan Dynasty. For example, the Yue kiln and Xing kiln of the Tang Dynasty "South Green and North White", the five famous kilns and the eight major folk kilns of the Song Dynasty.
"The Yuan blue and white goblet was auctioned again two years ago, and I couldn't participate for some reason, and I heard that it was auctioned for more than 5.7 million. โ
Lao Pan was silent.
Wu Duo said, "Elder Zhang, your regret, the focus is not on the price, right?"
"Yes!" Zhang Chengjin sighed, "I thought at the time that only the large-scale Yuan Qinghua could bring out the beauty of Su Maliqing's blue and atmospheric hair color." But later, I studied more deeply and found that the beauty of Yuan Qinghua is actually the charm that emanates from the inside out, and it does not entirely lie in the size of the device!"
Zhang Chengjin seemed to be interested, took a sip of tea and continued:
"If you want to say the most exquisite blue and white porcelain, it should actually be the Kangxi Dynasty. Not to mention the delicate fetal quality, the smooth glaze water, and the first-class painters, even if you only look at the blue and white hair color, the pearl material of Kangxi blue and white is green and blue, bright and moving, and it is not inferior. But why can't it still be compared to Yuan Qinghua?"
"The year is not the most important thing, the important thing is the charm of Yuan Qinghua!"
"The charm of Yuan Qinghua comes from the complex situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the intertwined sense of the times, the surging confrontation between the upper and lower classes, and the unique breakthrough in art!"
"Bang Bang Bang..." Wu Duo couldn't help but applaud.
It's purely natural.
This made the old man say that he regretted it a little!
Fortunately, I still have "secret skills" in my hands, and I am young and have a long way to go.
At this time, Zhang Chengjin raised his hand to Wu Duo, "That's it, Xiao Wu, seven million nine hundred and ninety, I don't like the number eight very much." Save 10,000 yuan, and I'll treat you to dinner. โ
What else can Wu Duo say?
Deal!
Today, Wu Duo felt that he had taken a solid lesson.
In the case of art, if we talk about creation, the importance of talent seems to be greater than the acquired training, but the level of art appreciation and the acquired learning and training are even more important. And this learning and training, I am bored, and I am definitely not as fast as having the guidance of a master.
At the time of the transaction, Assistant Li took out the prepared contract, and at the same time told Lao Pan that the intermediary fee would be presented later.
Lao Pan listened, waved his hand again and again, and desperately excused himself. Zhang Chengjin's "Cheng San", he really doesn't want it, because Zhang Lao's favor is much more valuable than this little intermediary fee!
Assistant Li smiled, "Elder Zhang has always been a person who abides by the rules, Director Pan, you are like this, it is difficult for me to do it." โ
"It's harder for me to do it!" Lao Pan Ying said, "If I collect Zhang Lao's intermediary fee, then I won't have the face to ask Zhang Lao for advice in the future!"
Seeing this, Zhang Chengjin waved his hand, "That's it, count me as owing Director Pan a favor." โ
Old Pan smiled, "Elder Zhang, who is unkind, there will be a place for me in the future, just give orders." โ
Zhang Chengjin nodded, and saw Wu Duo sign the contract, "Xiao Wu, the antique shop has the rules of the antique shop, and I won't ask where the things come from, but this contract can be clearly written, if there is anything wrong in the future, ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Don't worry, Elder Zhang, there's no problem with coming here. Even if something goes wrong in the future, I'll be responsible for it to the end. โ
"Well, where is Xiao Wu high now?"
"Jobless vagrants. โ
After Wu Duo finished speaking, seeing Zhang Chengjin's surprised face, he explained again, "I was also in Qixiang Pawnshop before, didn't I just stop doing it." โ
"Oh, is this trying to stand on your own?"
"Zhang Laogao looks at me, whether it is financial resources or eyesight, I can't get to that point. Right now, I'm getting ready to look for another job. โ
Zhang Chengjin groaned, "Among the antiques, which type are you best at?
"I'm uncertain, so ambitious, and I know a little bit about each category. โ
Zhang Chengjin listened, and his brows couldn't help but raise.
If an ordinary young man said this, then he would not have any thoughts, and it is probably the truth. However, Wu Duo had just changed hands to give him a piece of Yuan Qinghua, so to his ears, Wu Duo's words had a subtext.
Zhang Chengjin's heart once again surged with the word "terrible in the future".
However, Zhang Chengjin didn't say anything more, but instructed Assistant Li, "It's almost time at this time, let's arrange a lunch at noon!"
The lunch was arranged in the Drunken Immortal Building, which was not far from Kuanzhan Academy.
The dishes are exquisite and sumptuous, and the guests and hosts will enjoy it. Between dinners, Wu Duo benefited a lot, especially some things, at his level, he had no chance to understand before.
After the fruit came up after the meal, Zhang Chengjin asked Wu Duo with a smile, "Xiao Wu, I want to go back to Daya Zhai after eating, are you interested in going to see it together?"
Wu Duo has an impression of the hall name of Daya Zhai, because it is located in Dongshan Antique City, opposite the Chixia Mountain Antique Market, the best location on the second floor, and the huge store is extremely conspicuous.
