Chapter 289: The Origin of the Topaz Lamp
"As the name suggests, the topaz lamp is used as a raw material for carving and polishing, because the material is precious and rare, so the material will only be handed over to a skilled craftsman for production, and the craftsman is even more unlikely to hand it over to others to polish and make, if the topaz material is damaged or damaged, the responsibility and loss are not borne by the craftsman!
Hong Chaoyang seemed to grab Shen Qiu's seven inches, and chased and beat Shen Qiu: "Shen Qiu, how many topaz lamps have you seen? Do you know topaz lanterns? You don't understand anything, and you still have a big-tailed wolf here!"
Seeing that Hong Chaoyang was angry, Shen Qiu smiled instead: "I still insist on my opinion! Hong Chaoyang, believe it or not!"
"It's just an idiot talking in a dream, and you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep!" Hong Chaoyang trembled with anger: "Shen Qiu, you only came up and touched it just now, what can you see? It's a shame for Jiangcheng to have a treasure appreciation master like you!"
The host Cao Dagang saw that Hong Chaoyang was getting more and more excited: "Don't be excited, please continue to write the valuation of this topaz lamp, and then we will ask Mr. Liu Changtao to make a final judgment!"
"Okay! My estimate is 130w!" Hong Chaoyang first made a statement and showed his own estimate: "This topaz lamp is the best of the topaz lamps in terms of its appearance and workmanship and topaz material! If I remember correctly, Yanjing Honggu Auction House sold a topaz lamp three months ago, and the auction price at that time was 100w, and the fineness of this topaz lamp is much better than that one, so my estimate is 130w!"
Immediately afterwards, it was Shen Qiu's turn, but when he showed the price, the audience was in an uproar, and the price he gave was clearly displayed on the question board, 30w!
30w vs 130w!
Everyone who saw this estimate was dumbfounded, and the people in the audience shook their heads in confusion
"30w? I'm afraid that Shen Qiu has some misunderstanding about the topaz lamps of the Northern Song Dynasty? We have also sold a few topaz lamps in good condition in our store, but we have never seen an estimate of less than 800,000 yuan! I have to say that Shen Qiu is still too young, and there is still a distance between him and the old qualified treasure connoisseur master!"
"Hmph, if you can buy a Northern Song Dynasty topaz lamp of this kind for 300,000 yuan! Shen Qiu, you can bring me a dozen! How much does the price of 300,000 yuan cost!"
The host Cao Dagang was also puzzled by this price, and he invited Liu Changtao out: "Okay! Which of the two masters gives the price closer to the market price, we ask Mr. Liu Changtao to reveal the final answer for everyone!"
Shen Qiu...... Master Shen Qiu ......" Liu Changtao's face was also written with incredulity, and he couldn't wait for the host to finish speaking, and couldn't wait to look at Shen Qiu: "Master Shen, I'll ask you a question first, where did you see that this topaz lamp was completed by the cooperation of two people?"
"Yes!" Shen Qiu nodded and agreed to come to the topaz lamp, pointed to the left and right sides of the topaz lamp and said: "The most direct and easiest way is to look at their carving details, such as the peony flowers carved on this topaz lamp, generally speaking, the peony flowers at the left and right ends are basically the same, and when you look at it carefully, there is still a big difference!"
"In the details of the depiction of the stamens and petals of the peony flower, every time you encounter the "rotary knife", there will be a difference in the thickness of the cut gap on the left and right sides, and the thickness cut of the left part will be at least 2 mm more than the other side...... This is obviously the trace of two craftsmen with different techniques, if you don't believe it, you can find someone to measure the thick cut data on both sides, but as long as it is the same craftsman, it is absolutely impossible for such a situation!"
"Impossible! How is this possible! Can you see the gap between two millimeters? I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Hong Chaoyang quickly took out a professional measuring tool from his pocket, and under the witness of everyone, he saw that there was an error in the thickness of the peony flowers on the left and right, and it was an error of two millimeters!
"This ...... How can this be...... Shen Qiu, how did you do it? You just got your hands on it! You ...... in less than two minutes after watching it."
Hong Chaoyang was speechless with excitement, how could a grandmaster with no grade see this?
"As for why I only gave an estimate of 300,000 yuan, it is because this topaz lamp has obvious flaws, I just took a rough look at its internal structure, and found that its wick and lampshade fit is not enough, that is to say, the angle of his internal cutting does not meet the requirements, and if the topaz lamp does not meet the requirements, it will not be able to show a dazzling and colorful refraction effect!"
"To a certain extent, this is a topaz lamp that can't be lit, it has an empty surface, and it can't be lit, such a topaz lamp can only be used as an ornament back then, in our current words, it is a defective product! The price of 300,000 yuan has been considered to be the top!"
"Awesome!"
Liu Changtao was the first to give a thumbs up in the direction of Shen Qiu, and then immediately showed the estimate of 32w that he had set a long time ago.
"Master Shen's eyesight is extraordinary, I can see the flaws in this topaz lamp at a glance, that's right! This topaz lamp I bought from my friend from the same night, because it can't be lit because of itself, and it is extremely inconsistent with its amazing appearance! So the price is greatly discounted, and the price I bought back is 32w! Master Shen is really amazing! Admire and admire!"
Liu Changtao's words directly indicated the answer: "Although the two masters have guessed the year and material of this topaz lamp correctly, but in terms of details, Master Shen Qiu is undoubtedly superior, not only can see that this topaz lamp is a cooperation between two people, but also see the obstacle of my topaz lamp, the first round should be Master Shen Qiu's victory!
"Forehead ......"
Hong Chaoyang was instantly dumbfounded, and the whole person was like a sculpture that couldn't react for a long time.
That's not right!
Not only was it because of the first round of missteps, but what was even more strange was that there was no reaction on Shen Qiu's cheeks?
As early as the opening of the Doubao Conference, Hong Chaoyang infiltrated the magic qi contained in his body, and once Shen Qiu absorbed it, his body would change, his blood pressure soared, his heart rhythm was irregular, and his heart was in chaos.
But now Shen Qiu's face was as calm as water, as if he had not been affected at all, as if he had nothing to do......
"No, no, something must have gone wrong, or maybe the magic qi I released is not deep enough! Otherwise, this kid would have been out of shape a long time ago!"
On the live broadcast platform, Shen Qiu's support rate followed closely to 23 percentage points, and the discussion on the Internet was also rolling in like a tide.
"it! Kill Hong Chaoyang in the first round! It's not my idol! Shen Qiu Liuliuliu!"
"This is Shen Qiu's luck, maybe he knows more about the topaz lantern, so he let him pick up a big bargain, I guarantee with my personality, Shen Qiu will definitely lose in this second round! If he doesn't lose, I will eat shit live on the spot! Master Hong will win! Master Hong will win!"
"Upstairs has been screenshotted!
The scene and the Internet were boiling, but Shen Qiu maintained a flat mood.
No one knew that he had been promoted to the realm of second grade and one heavy, and he only needed to touch it to find out the ins and outs of the collection, and the corresponding picture would appear in his mind.
The moment he touched the topaz lamp, he already saw the picture made by the two carvers back then.
At that time, a wealthy man surnamed Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to make a superb topaz lamp, specially spent a lot of money to invite two craftsmen from Jiangnan and Jiangbei to sit in the town, regardless of money and energy, trying to create the most exquisite topaz lamp in the Northern Song Dynasty.
However, the ending was very surprising, because of the difference in creative concepts, the two top masters did not collide with brilliant fireworks, but because of their own opinions, the internal structure of this topaz lamp was wrong, and in the end, even the lamp could not be lit, and the gains outweighed the losses, and it evolved into an unknown farce.
However, the rich man may not have thought that in Jiangcheng thousands of years later, this flaw was actually seen through by the unknown Shen Qiu at a glance, giving Master Hong a heavy dismount.
