Jin Deman saw that Tang Xin was interested in that story and asked, "Have you watched the "Hammer to See the Treasure" program on J Provincial Satellite TV?"

"I've watched a few episodes, but the show has been off the air for a long time. ”

"Do you remember the rules of that show?"

"Yes. It seems that before each treasure holder comes to power, he must sign a waiver agreement called a 'life and death document'. Then, if the treasure holder is identified as a fake by more than three experts, the host will smash the fake with a hammer on the spot, so as not to spread to the market and harm people, right?"

Jin Deman nodded and said, "That's right." About five years ago, a friend of mine named Xia Hai had a set of 'Ming Chenghua Doucai Coats Cup' in his family, a total of three. You should know that the Ming Chenghua Doucai Coats Cup generally has three themes, namely Wang Xi's love goose, Tao Yuan Ming Ai Ju, and Zhou Dunyi Ailian. The vast majority of Chenghua Doucai Coats cups are inseparable from these three themes. And the three cups in Xia Hai's collection, each cup corresponds to a theme, which happens to be a set. ”

Tang Xin said in surprise: "If these three cups are genuine, they are worth a lot of money!

Jin Deman nodded and said, "I thought so at the time, so I asked Xia Hai about the origin of this set of cups." According to him, in the 80s of the last century, while working at a construction site, he used his savings to save the life of a seriously ill worker. In return to him, the worker gave him this set of ancestral Coats cups—"

Tang Xin smiled: "This story is a bit cliché, and it can't be trusted when you hear it." ”

Jin Deman also laughed: "That's right, I didn't believe it at the time, I felt that this story was old and flawed." However, Xia Hai swore to me that it was true. So, I suggested that he go to the "Hammer to See the Treasure" column of J Provincial Satellite TV and ask a porcelain expert to identify him.

A month later, he really took the Coats cup to the "Hammer to See the Treasure" column to register, and signed the 'life and death documents'. However, at the scene of the show, three porcelain experts unanimously identified that the three Coats cups were modern imitations. According to the regulations of the program team, the host picked up a hammer on the spot and smashed two cups. When the host was about to smash the third one, Xia Hai was really reluctant, so he snatched it out from under the host's hammer, which is the cup you see now with the theme of 'Wang Xi's love goose'. ”

Tang Xin asked, "The three experts believe that Xia Hai's Coats Cup is a fake, what is their reason?

"Of course I do. There are three reasons for the three experts: first, the glaze characteristics of these three cups do not match the Chenghua period; second, the fetal quality of the three cups is relatively coarse; third, the real Chenghua Doucai Coats Cup, the image on it will generally have more than two themes, Wang Xizhi, Tao Yuanming, Zhou Dunyi The three Coats will have at least two in the pattern, sometimes there will be three, and even add the content of 'Boya Visiting Friends with the Qin', that is, the four Coats. But these three cups, each with only one character and one story on it, is against the norm, so they think that these three cups are fakes. ”

Tang Xin nodded, and asked again: "Then how did this cup that was not smashed be sold to you for 50,000 yuan?"

Jin Deman smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't I tell you just now? The reason why I paid 50,000 yuan to buy Xia Hai's cup is purely to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds." At that time, Xia Hai was actually suffering from cancer and urgently needed to raise money for treatment, so he remembered to identify these three cups and wanted to exchange them for money, but he didn't expect to be identified as fakes by experts and smashed two of them. I saw that Xia Hai was really pitiful, so I bought this fake cup at a price of 50,000 yuan. He was so grateful to me at the time, but a few months later, he died. Alas, life is impermanent!"

After listening to him, Tang Xin picked up the cup very casually, wiped the dust on it, and just wanted to take a closer look at the patterns on it, when a picture suddenly appeared in front of him.

To his surprise: these pictures showed that this cup was the authentic Doucai Coats Cup fired in the Jingdezhen kiln during the Ming Dynasty......

After a moment of consternation, Tang Xin's face showed a hint of joy: according to the current market situation, a genuine Chenghua Doucai Coats Cup costs more than five million yuan. But if it's a set, the price may be even higher. The cup in his hand is a complete set, although the other two were damaged, but this one is worth at least seven or eight million yuan......

With this judgment, Tang Xin quietly put down the cup, looked at the rest of the collections on the shelves, and asked, "Uncle Jin, are all your collections here?"

Jin Deman pointed to the small miscellaneous house inside with his hand and said, "There are still some rough jadeite stones in there, which the connoisseur said was of little value after seeing them." If you're interested, you can also check it out. If you're interested, you can make a bid and I'll sell it to you. ”

Tang Xin smiled, followed him into the small miscellaneous house, and touched each piece of jade rough.

Unexpectedly, the surprise appeared again: on an inconspicuous piece of jadeite rough, Tang Xin sensed that there was a piece of glass green jadeite the size of a ping-pong ball, whose texture and water color were exactly the same as the green jadeite that he stumbled upon at Shi Xiaolin's house last time, and it was also soaked in fine blood, but it was much smaller.

Tang Xin remembered: Shi Xiaolin's jade was sold for 40 million yuan. If calculated according to the size ratio, the small jadeite in this rough stone is worth at least 10 million yuan......

However, despite the joy in his heart, Tang Xin did not reveal half a point on the surface, and after reading all the rough stones very calmly, he walked out of the miscellaneous house quietly, and was about to sit down to talk about the price with Jin Deman, when he suddenly saw Dai Xiaojun with two people and burst in violently.

"Jin Deman, did you talk about the deal like this? This morning, you obviously negotiated the price with me, and said that you would give me an answer after considering it in a day or two, why did you change your mind and want to sell it to someone else in a blink of an eye? Why did you disclose the price I quoted to the people who wanted to bid for this store with me? You still don't pay attention to the rules and faithfulness?"

As soon as he entered the door, Dai Xiaojun pointed at Jin Deman's nose and scolded him.

Jin Deman defended a little flustered: "Mr. Dai, don't believe Huang Zhixin's words to sow discord. I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to sell the store at a better price so that I could pay off my debts. I can guarantee: if Tang Xin's price is similar to yours, I will definitely transfer the store to you!"
