Chapter 281: Black Enchantress
"Boss, your hanging screen is very good-looking, why don't you put it in a conspicuous way, but you have to buckle it back?" Yu Yao opened his mouth while squatting.
"Hey, I put it on the table just now, but it turned out to be two pieces in total, and one person had to buy only one, and after picking and paying the money, didn't I put it aside first!" explained the round-faced stall owner, his face beaming, "Do you like it? I want to give you a cheaper." ”
"A pair?" Yu Yao secretly screamed pity, "That piece is also the same pattern?"
"It's different! This piece is near the mountains and far waters, and that piece is the far mountains and near the waters. However, the jade materials used are almost the same, including Hetian jade, Xiuyu, carnelian, Jingbai jade, jadeite and so on. ”
Yu Yao deliberately asked, "On this hanging screen, how can there be jade?"
"How can you look at it carefully after just a few glances?" the stall owner pointed to the pagoda, "Well, isn't it?"
Yu Yao chuckled in his heart, "Black jade?"
"Look, let me go to class again. The stall owner gestured, "This is called Mocui, it looks black, and the light is still green!"
When Yu Yao heard this, he was relieved.
This is indeed jadeite, but it is not Mocui, it is much rarer than Mocui!
Of course, it's also worth a lot of money.
Because this is a piece of black chicken jadeite, the color looks similar to Mocui, but the "species" is different.
Mocui's species are very ordinary, and they can be summarized by conventional ice species and glutinous species, so they look black on the surface, and they are still green when they are lit.
But the black chicken breed is different, the black chicken breed is a separate "species", which is black on the surface, and it is still black when the lights are on.
In other words, black jadeite.
Of course, the black chicken breed jade is also graded. Only pure black ones are really rare, and gray ones with gray-green ones are relatively cheap. On the market, most of them are unevenly black, even speckled "black chicken species".
Different from the general black chicken jade, the pure black black chicken jade, there is a different name, called the black enchantress.
This is also because the pure black black black chicken jadeite, the luster is different from the glass luster of the general jadeite, and there will be grease luster, which is considered "alien" in the jadeite.
The pagoda on this hanging screen is made of black chicken jade, and it has reached the level of a black enchantress!
The black enchantress is very rare, even rarer than the glass species, and the rarity is second only to the "dragon stone species" that is high above. So, the price can be imagined.
Merchants often take the general black chicken jade, also called the black enchantress, and the price is also different.
But the real black enchantress, just such a small piece of pagoda-sized material, will cost more than a million!
The stall owner treats it as an ordinary ink, and the price difference is even greater, and such a small piece of inkcui, even if it is a high-quality product, is enough for a few thousand.
This hanging screen is something from the Republic of China period, maybe the stall owner didn't pay too much attention to other jade because it was too ordinary.
Since the stall owner didn't see it, how could Yu Yao not pick up the omission?
However, he still asked first, "On the hanging screen you sold, there is also 'Mocui'?"
"No, on that hanging screen is a distant mountain inlaid with oil green jade, there is nothing else on the mountain; this piece is the near mountain of Hetian green jade, and the top of the mountain is inlaid with a pagoda with ink and jade. ”
"Why did he take that hanging screen?"
The stall owner smiled, "How do I know why he chose that piece?"
Yu Yao didn't ask much, since that person was so picky, he didn't understand that the pagoda on the hanging screen was a black enchantress.
The buyer didn't know why, so he had to pick up a piece, but since he left this piece, it was Yu Yao's luck. If Yu Yao buys it, even if he can't see anything particularly precious, he just likes to hang the screen, and he won't go it alone, he will definitely buy a pair.
"Well, this guy is quite interesting. I really like this hanging screen, but Shengsheng dismantled a pair, it's a pity. ”
"Actually, why did I agree to dismantle and sell it? Because this hanging screen is a horizontal bar, not a vertical bar, and it looks good when hung alone. And each can be seen as a separate pattern, and it is not something that can be combined or correlated. ”
"You have a point. Yu Yao nodded. This stall owner is also very interesting, ordinary people will not tell the situation of the original pair, but he didn't hide it, and he also took great pains to introduce his opinion.
Saying that, Yu Yao handed the stall owner a cigarette, "Then I'll take it, can you give a floor price?"
The stall owner took the cigarette and lit it, "It's the same as the rabbit charm, I'll lose money if I lose 30,000 yuan." ”
"How much did you sell for the other piece?" asked Yu Yao with a smile. This kind of problem, the stall owner is unlikely to tell the truth, just a foreshadowing before bargaining. And Yu Yao has nothing to do for the time being, mainly waiting for Wu Chen to call back, he can grind it.
"Fifty thousand!" said the booth, "only thirty thousand for you, is it interesting enough?"
It also costs 30,000, and this hanging screen and rabbit charm are naturally very different. The jade material of this hanging screen is real, the inlay process is good, and there is a certain year, which is a thing from the Republic of China.
"I'm going to pay back two hundred, you won't be in a hurry, right?"
"Asking for a price, sitting on the ground and spending money, I'm going to be in a hurry, how amateurish it is, and you can't say it!"
"Okay, you've said so much, and I'm still really, 10,000 yuan, how about it?"
"Big brother, if you cut off these jades, they can be worth 10,000 yuan, right? This frame, this paint bottom, and the work is also good, you can't let me lose money!"
"I just said that amateur is not amateur - this is not a craft, and the cost cannot be calculated like this. Perhaps, from which village did you get 800 children out of a thousand children?"
"You really can! I said you weren't fooling around, and you still don't admit it!"
The two negotiated with nonsense, and in the end, Yu Yao won the hanging screen for 18,000.
The stall owner wrapped it in a foam bag, even the handle, and fixed it with scotch tape. The service was in place.
Yu Yao continued to walk around with the hanging screen, and after a few steps, Wu Chen called back.
"I just fell asleep in the office. When Wu Chen spoke, he yawned.
"Huh, how can you be so lax during working hours?"
"Are you imitating Yang Ju's tone?" Wu Chen smiled, "What's the matter?"
"Can you help me check Shangguan Yu?"
"What are you checking him for?"
"Isn't he very good at calligraphy and painting? I am in the antique business, and the channel for receiving calligraphy and painting is the most difficult. "Yu Yao definitely can't say anything about the Ghost Eye Gate.
"What do you want to look up?"
"Is his calligraphy and painting from a reliable source? How can there be so many?
"It's hard to pinpoint this. We've followed him, but nothing has come of it. However, it should not be ancestral. The last time Guan Yuanli talked about him, of course I didn't talk much, but in fact, I knew that his father was a worker, peasant and soldier college student, and his family was certainly not a big family; his mother was also from a working family, and she only went to the United States to study later, or she divorced his father because she didn't want to come back. ”
Wu Chen continued, "However, I don't know how his mother developed in the United States, she may be very rich, and she has bought a lot of good things overseas; besides, it has been several years since he returned to China, and it is difficult to say how much he has collected after returning to China." ”
"So you know so much!"
"These are things that we learned by the way, but they don't really work for us. We also want to know more about his collection, but we only know a few of the paintings that have been shown to the public. ”
Wu Chen paused, "By the way, his father is not surnamed Shangguan." ”
