Chapter Eighty-Three: Antiques as Flower Pots
Originally, Bao Rongxing, who was the party concerned, should have participated in the identification of vases. It's a pity that this second generation is very arrogant, and bluntly said that if he wants to talk about things, he will wait for his father to arrive. His father didn't arrive, and he didn't want to deal with anyone.
Although Zhao Penglin, who was invited to support Zhuang Haiyang, didn't say anything, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. As a real estate developer, Zhao Penglin naturally has a lot of contacts in China, and he also knows some of the situation of the Bao family.
If you really want to talk about assets, the Bao family is really not as good as him. can be compared with Zhuang Haiyang, it is naturally the Bao family that is superior. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Chen Xingwang, who was invited over, would deliberately bring him to Nanshan Island together.
Everyone's social circle is different, just like Bao Rongxing said that Zhuang Haiyang is a turtle, in the final analysis, doesn't he think Zhuang Haiyang is poor?
Seeing the fragments of the vase that was held, and the remaining intact vase, Zhao Penglin was also very careful to pick out a few pieces of porcelain and observe them carefully. In particular, the fragments engraved with the bottom paragraph are carefully examined.
In the end, he said: "This vase is indeed real! If I am not mistaken, it should be a typical blue and white porcelain vase of the Zhu Dynasty." Although the shape is not too exquisite, it is a pity that such a well-preserved vase is rare nowadays!"
As a collector, the most precious antiques are destroyed. After inspecting the remaining intact vase, Zhao Penglin felt even more pity. In his opinion, if this pair of vases were complete, the value would increase a lot.
On the contrary, Chen Xingwang said very directly: "Lao Zhao, how much do you think this bottle is worth?"
"Lao Chen, it's hard to give an accurate valuation of antiques. It's just that not long ago, at the auction that just ended in Hong Kong City, there was a vase similar to this, and it was finally auctioned for 16 million. Auction prices are often inflated.
If this pair of vases is auctioned together, I believe that the final transaction price should also be very good. Now there is only one left, which is a bit of a pity. There are not many such vases in existence today, and few people are willing to sell them. ”
Hearing the valuation given by Zhao Penglin, Sun Shaohua and others also breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, in their opinion, they were also worried that Zhao Penglin would open his mouth and finally say a sky-high price. In that case, compensation will be difficult to talk about.
While Sun Shaohua and the others' fathers were still on the road, they knew that Zhao Penglin had the best appraisal of porcelain antiques, Zhuang Haiyang took the dishes that were put into the box last night and found them again for Zhao Penglin to identify, and Zhao Penglin did not refuse.
Knowing that Zhuang Haiyang used this antique bowl to serve food, Zhao Penglin was also speechless and said: "You are called a tyrannical thing, do you know?"
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang, who was making up the training, Xu Ming, who was sitting on the side, also smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, what you said is too right. This guy used this bowl and plate to serve food last night. Luckily, I still know a little bit about porcelain, so I was almost scared to death by him. ”
Zhuang Haiyang, who was complained by the two, also said with a look of grievance: "These dishes and saucers have been used all the time. It was only when my yard in the town was demolished that I packed up these plates and saucers.
During the summer vacation, there were more guests at home, and I felt that the plates were a little insufficient, so I thought that these plates and bowls were still new, so I used them. I don't know, these dishes are antiques, and there's no word underneath them."
Such a powerful reason made Zhao Penglin cry and laugh. But in fact, many people who don't know the history of antiques can tell whether the porcelain inherited at home is an antique, and it is more to see if there are words at the bottom of the porcelain.
After carefully distinguishing it, Zhao Penglin said with a smile: "These bowls and plates should be the same age as the vase, although they are fired in a private kiln, the color is still very clear." If I'm not mistaken, this should be Hailao porcelain. ”
Facing Zhao Penglin's inference, Zhuang Haiyang also nodded and said: "Uncle Zhao has a good eye! Now that I think about it, it's really possible." When I was a child, I heard my dad mention a few words. It seems that the porcelain used at home was picked up from the sea.
Later, when I came to the old house, I turned out a few kinds of porcelain with a bottom, and I paid more attention. But when I thought it was something my father left behind, I didn't think about selling it. I just didn't expect this to happen this time. ”
"Alas, it's a pity that this vase is broken!"
Taking advantage of this effort, Zhuang Haiyang suddenly thought of something, and said with a red face: "Uncle Zhao, listening to what you said, I found that the porcelain left over from the house back then is all antiques." There are two large jars, and it seems that there is also a bottom. ”
"Where's the stuff?"
When Zhuang Haiyang ran to the side of the yard and brought the jar with flowers, Zhao Penglin couldn't wait to kick the other party a few times. Using antique jars to raise flowers, Zhuang Haiyang's approach is really different, and everyone feels that they can't laugh or cry.
As if he knew that he had made a mistake, Zhuang Haiyang also quickly poured out the soil in the jar and set aside the flowers planted in it. After cleaning and wiping the jar, he held the jar and put it in front of Zhao Penglin.
The results are obvious, after Zhao Penglin's identification, these two jars are also antiques. Through this incident, everyone knows that Zhuang Haiyang is afraid that he really doesn't understand antiques, so he will use these antique porcelain as ordinary porcelain.
So much so that Zhao Penglin said directly: "It's really a pity to put this good thing in your hands." Ocean, do these two jars sell?"
"Ah, Uncle Zhao, do you want a jar?"
"Well, if you're short of pots to plant flowers, I'll have you sent you ten or eight. ”
Zhuang Haiyang, who was ridiculed, could only smile bitterly in the end: "Okay! Since Uncle Zhao likes it, then you can watch it." I don't think it's useful to take this jar back. Later, my girlfriend wanted to plant some flowers, so I used it as a flower pot. ”
With such a powerful reason, Zhao Penglin didn't know what to say. What's even more speechless is that Zhao Penglin gave eight million to buy these two jars, but Zhuang Haiyang shook his head directly and said: "Uncle, it's too expensive, I won't sell it!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Penglin also scolded with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard that some people think things are too expensive." This kind of jar, if you take it to auction, should be able to fetch a price of about five million, and four million is very suitable. ”
"Don't bluff me! Although I don't know about auctions, I still know that auctions cost a fee, and they are not cheap. If you really like it, I'll sell it to you for five million. Eight million, I won't sell it!"
"Stinky boy, I'm friends with your father, are you still greedy for your cheapness? What's more, two cans sell me for five million, do you kid want to scold me, or look down on me?"
Zhuang Haiyang, who was stunned, realized that he had offered five million for two jars, wasn't it two million for one jar?
At this moment, Chen Xingwang, who received Zhao Penglin's eyes, also spoke: "Old Zhao, the ocean, or you just take a step back, six and a half million." Ocean, don't think it's expensive, your Uncle Zhao is not bad for this million, understand?"
Seeing Chen Xingwang interjecting, Zhuang Haiyang thought for a while and said, "Okay, then listen to uncle." Just two jars, spending so much money, is it worth it?"
Listening to Zhuang Haiyang's complaints, Zhao Penglin smiled and said: "Talking to you about antiques, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be angry and vomit blood." Okay, then I'll take advantage of you today, and after a while, I'll make up your house, don't refuse!
As you said earlier, you already have a girlfriend and you will always have to settle down in the town in the future. Our company's recently opened real estate, there are still a few sea view rooms left, the scenery is very good. I'll give you one then, I don't like to owe favors!"
When it comes to this, what else can Zhuang Haiyang say?
Even if he has a small net worth now, compared to a local tyrant like Zhao Penglin, it is indeed a little unsightly. If you think about it carefully, people are really not short of more than one million. When it is passed out, others may not know what to think of him?
Thinking about this, Zhuang Haiyang didn't shirk anymore. In the final analysis, these precious porcelains in Zhao Penglin's opinion really don't matter to Zhuang Haiyang. In a word, the world of collectors, he really doesn't understand!
