Chapter 80: Don't lose to the actor
The porcelain salvaged from the wreck in person, Zhuang Haiyang naturally knows better than anyone else, and these porcelains must be antiques now. But he didn't want people to know that the porcelain had just been salvaged from the sea.
I want others to recognize these antique porcelain, and at the same time, let others believe that this is the inheritance of the dealer. Then Zhuang Haiyang also needs some acting skills, which makes people feel that he doesn't pay attention to these plates, and only treats the dishes as tableware left by his father.
As Zhuang Haiyang cleaned the dishes out, looking at the blue and white dishes on the table, Xu Ming, who likes to collect, was also speechless: "God, do you really use these dishes as tableware?"
"I didn't know they were antiques! I broke them a lot when I was a kid! I just ran out of dishes the last time, so I turned them out and reused them. Now it seems to be a bit extravagant!"
Sun Shaohua, who heard this, couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Fisherman, don't pretend to be B, we are still friends!"
"This porcelain, I know it's definitely not fired in modern times, but I've used it since I was a child, so I know it's an antique? This thing has no bottom money, and I don't know much about it, so I don't use it to put it in the dishes, just put it on display!"
Such a powerful explanation made Sun Shaohua cry and laugh. On the contrary, Xu Ming, looking at the dozens of plates and saucers piled together, said very understandingly: "These dishes should be fired in a private kiln, and the price is not too expensive." ”
"Dude, since you understand, then tell me, if this dish is taken out and sold, how many can it be sold?"
Facing Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, Xu Ming thought for a while and said: "This is really hard to estimate! If there is only one plate and it is sent to auction, there should be people who buy hundreds of thousands of them." But with so much, the price will definitely not be too high.
The most important thing is that you have no bottom money for this plate and plate, and the collection price will be discounted. As you said, many buyers who collect porcelain will first see if the porcelain has a bottom price. With a base, the value tends to multiply. ”
In fact, these truths do not need to be talked about by Xu Ming, Zhuang Haiyang is naturally clear. But he still asked: "Then for example, if I am willing to sell this plate and you want to buy it, how many are you willing to bid?"
Regarding Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, Xu Ming thought about it and smiled bitterly: "If I say it, I can give up to 100,000 one." In fact, seeing so many plates and saucers, I am also a little unsure whether it is porcelain from the Zhu Dynasty. ”
"That's fine! Anyway, I don't plan to sell these plates and saucers for the time being. It's just for you to say this, these plates and saucers, I'm afraid they really have to be put away first. If I really want to smash one, I guess I'll hurt too.
By the way, since you know about antiques, then I happen to have one thing, so please help identify it. To be honest, I can't tell if it's real or not. However, if it is true, I am also going to find someone to sell for some money. ”
Put the dishes in the kitchen cabinet and find a cardboard box to put them in. Zhuang Haiyang, who went upstairs, soon came down with an iron box. Just when everyone was curious about what was in the iron box, Zhuang Haiyang also opened it quickly.
smiled and said, "To be exact, this is my family's heirloom." In the early years, my family was short of money, and my father didn't even want to sell it!"
Waiting for the small iron box to open and lift the silk cloth covering the object, Sun Shaohua and the others quickly saw that the iron box contained six silver ingots. For this kind of silver ingot, Sun Shaohua was also surprised: "Fisherman, I can't see it, you still have this treasure!"
"Baby? I looked it up on the Internet, and it doesn't seem like silver is worth much. I estimate that this is an ancient silver ingot, and the added value should be a little higher. If you just go to the auction, I don't know how much money you can sell. ”
After listening to Zhuang Haiyang, Xu Ming said with interest: "Fisherman, can I get started and take a look?"
"Of course, it's rare to meet someone as knowledgeable as you, so please help identify it, and estimate it by the way, how about it?"
"Okay, it's just that my estimate may not be accurate!"
"It's okay! It's better to be a reference price than a black eye. ”
After Xu Ming's appraisal, this batch of ingots was undoubtedly confirmed to be genuine, and it was also the official silver of the Zhu Dynasty. The condition is well preserved, and the official seal inscription on the official silver is also very clear, and the collection value is still very good.
When Xu Ming valued the silver ingots at 600,000 to 800,000 yuan, Zhuang Haiyang also pretended to be surprised: "Can it really be sold for such an expensive price?"
As a result, Xu Ming said very directly: "If you don't believe it, then sell me these six silver ingots, and I'll give you 700,000 pieces, how about it?"
The other three girls who didn't leave, when they heard Xu Ming's price, they also felt that Zhuang Haiyang, who was dressed very ordinarily but had a unique temperament, really had a small fortune. A few silver ingots are worth more than four million!
To Xu Ming's surprise, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Hehe! Let me think about it again! To be honest, I am staying on the island alone now, and I am not short of money to spend." I didn't expect this thing to be so valuable!"
In Zhuang Haiyang's opinion, his performance at the moment should not lose to the actor!
Even though he wanted to say 'sell' in his heart, he still chose to hesitate to think about it. If you really want to behave too happily, it is estimated that Xu Ming will feel that he has been cheated. Now that Zhuang Haiyang said that he considered it, Xu Ming felt a pity.
When I was about to raise the price again, I thought about it and felt that it was not too late to talk about it. As long as Zhuang Haiyang is willing to sell, add another 50,000 pieces, Xu Ming thinks it is worth it. Silver ingots are also antiques that many wealthy businessmen love to collect.
With the pile of plates and saucers, plus the six silver ingots that Zhuang Haiyang deliberately displayed, no one suspected that the broken bottle was a fake. So when he went back to the old house to rest, Sun Shaohua called his father again.
At the same time, Xu Ming also called his father and told him about today's events. After hearing this, Father Xu said directly: "Are you sure you read it right? Those plates and saucers are all porcelain from the Zhu Dynasty?"
"Dad, although my vision is not as good as yours, but I still know more about porcelain. Although they are all private kiln goods, the color looks a bit similar to the same kind of Hailao porcelain I have seen before.
If I'm not mistaken, these porcelains must have been caught by his father or grandfather in the sea. At that time, no one was engaged in collecting. I picked up such porcelain, and just took it to my home, which has been preserved until now.
Even I suspect that those silver ingots were fished out of the water with that batch of porcelain. I heard Huazi say that the island where I am now is not very far from the open sea. In the early years, there should have been a lot of merchant ships. ”
"Okay, I'll contact Lao Sun later, and I'll follow along. It should be good to buy something for real, to collect or sell. Those six silver ingots, if the price is raised, it should not be a loss to buy it. ”
"Dad, that's what I thought too. You don't know, that guy used those plates and dishes to serve food, it really scared me!"
As a connoisseur who knows how to collect, every piece of porcelain that has a history of hundreds of years will be properly kept, for fear of encountering it. As a result, when I arrived at Zhuang Haiyang, I found that people directly used it as tableware.
In the end, the number of people who landed on the island seemed to be more than expected. But for Zhuang Haiyang, no matter how many people come tomorrow. The price of that vase is too small, Zhuang Haiyang will still choose to call the police.
Judging from Xu Ming's performance before, he didn't see that those plates had just been fished out of the sea. This means that even if the police come to collect evidence, it is not good to confiscate his porcelain.
After all, according to Zhuang Haiyang's rhetoric, these things have been salvaged out of the water for nearly a hundred years. Now it is passed down to Zhuang Haiyang, which is naturally Zhuang Haiyang's personal property. Thinking of these, Zhuang Haiyang's confidence is naturally more sufficient!
