Chapter 572: Wrong Gold, Wrong Gold
200,000, it doesn't sound like the total price is too high, and it is not conspicuous in the leakage that Yu Yao picked up. However, from two thousand to two hundred thousand, that is a hundredfold difference.
Lao Zhou is more professional than Pu Jie in this regard, so he then recognizes it, and Pu Jie also knows Domi Lanpo, but he has very little contact, and he has never seen such a top-notch color.
It can be said that Dominican blue amber is currently the most expensive type of amber beeswax.
The aforementioned amber was known as the sage of amber in ancient China. And Dominican blue amber, known as the king of amber in modern times!
In addition to the special texture and color factors, the extremely low yield is also an important reason for the preciousness of Dominican blue amber.
The total annual production of Dominican blue amber is only about 200 kilograms - half of which are unprocessable fragments or impurities of waste, and the remaining 100 kilograms and half of which are second-class products of poor quality.
In other words, high-quality blue amber can produce about 50 kilograms a year. And there are definitely fewer and fewer sources that can be discovered.
And the two beads in Yu Yao's hand with excellent color are the best of high-quality blue pearls. The price of such materials is more than 10,000 yuan, which is recognized by the international market. Different finished products will increase the price accordingly.
Shocked, Pu Jie couldn't help asking, "How could the Dominican blue pearl rough be received together with the Russian and Ukrainian materials in Europe?"
"Didn't you hear him? This rough stone has been manipulated. Lao Zhou took the lead first, "As far as I know, in the early years, many Europeans went to Donimiga to receive goods and took away a large number of raw materials, and most of them were high-quality products. It is likely that this rough stone was previously received in Europe. I just don't know why it was mixed into new ore in Europe. ”
"Because of the serious outflow of blue amber products, Dominica later strictly restricted the export of blue amber. Yu Yao nodded, "There are fewer and fewer Dominican blue ambers on the market, and the price is rising wildly. ”
"I remember that a few years ago, it was about 2,000 a gram, and this year's market has not been less than 10,000. Lao Zhou sighed.
Pu Jie smacked his lips, "You just lined the black background, facing the sun, this visual impact is quite strong." There's a feeling of looking up at the blue sky, looking down at the deep sea, and it seems to have fluorescent colors, well, ethereal, mysterious, unique. ”
"Hey!" Old Monday pointed at Pu Jie, "You can quite make words!"
"Good things are like that, expensive is expensive. Yu Yao said, "You see, the amount of blue pearl mined is much smaller than that of diamonds. ”
"Of all the gemstones, I don't like diamonds the most. Lao Zhou waved his hand, "I have always believed that the value of diamonds is a hype concept. ”
"No matter what kind of gemstone or jade, it is a luxury, not a necessity, and those who like it will spend that money to buy it, and what they don't like is nothing more than a stone. Of course, the function of stored value appreciation is indeed there, but if you only talk about stored value appreciation, there are many alternatives, the same as buying a house and buying land. ”
Yu Yao said and raised his hand, "Let's go, delay some time temporarily, and hurry up to another street." ”
The three of them arrived at another street, which was indeed dominated by antiques, and there were small shops on one side and a wall on the other, and there were many stalls on the other.
Not long after turning to this street, Yu Yao found a bronze and gold flat pot in a stall.
This pot has a height of twenty-five centimeters, and the width is about this number, since it is a flat pot, the thickness is naturally not large, there is a seven or eight centimeters. The body of the pot is decorated with a checkered checkered pattern, and there are auxiliary ears on the shoulders.
This is a classic shape of the Warring States period.
The Central Plains region is the main area where bronze artifacts are unearthed, and even the "concentration camp" of high-imitation bronze artifacts is in a village in Luozhou, Central Plains.
However, today's bronze trade is subject to many restrictions, and most things are forbidden to trade.
Most of the bronzes are traded secretly, let alone put on the stalls so grandly. Therefore, if you see the bronzes of the last three generations in the antique market, they are basically high-imitation handicrafts.
But this bronze wrong gold flat pot, Yu Yao glanced twice, but it felt like that.
Leaned forward and bent down to take a closer look, the rust color is red and green, the copper is old, and the wrong gold is also very particular.
On this stall, most of them are bronze, but the others are basically high-level imitations with one eye and two eyes in Yu Yao's eyes, and this wrong gold flat pot stands out from the crowd, so it suddenly attracted Yu Yao's attention.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man who was very clean, about forty years old, with white skin and neatly combed hair, and when he saw Yu Yao staring at the flat pot, he opened his mouth: "Friend, like this pot?"
Yu Yao nodded slightly, took out a cigarette, and handed one to the stall owner.
"No, it won't. The stall owner waved his hand, "This pot can be admired, but it is not sold." ”
Yu Yao couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately lit the cigarette first, "Then if you put it out, maybe there will be a counterproduct." ”
"Backlash?"
"Since it's not for sale, isn't it just to attract customers?" Yu Yao said with a smile, "But the other things on your stall are dwarfed by comparison." ”
The stall owner couldn't help but laugh, "Attract customers? However, my main purpose is to make this pot absorb some popularity. ”
"Huh?" Yu Yao said secretly, this statement is really fresh, is this a pot essence?
"It's an analogy, it's not good to be locked in a safe all the time, and it's not good to be in the dark. The stall owner explained simply.
Yu Yao didn't ask any more, but he thought again, since this pot was put out so grandly, it must be coming from the right way! However, since it is not sold, there is nothing to talk about, "Okay, then you are busy, I will turn around." ”
The stall owner said, "Brother likes bronzes?"
"It's just seeing the right thing and looking at it. ”
When the stall owner heard this, he raised his hand and pointed across the street, "That's my shop, go sit and have a look?"
Yu Yao turned his head to see that the store across the street had a plaque of "Mingjin Pavilion" hung. The stall owner's tone was soft, which gave Yu Yao a good impression, so he nodded, "Okay, it's okay to simply look at a few things." ”
Pu Jie and Lao Zhou were looking at the stall next to them at this time, and Yu Yaoyi said that they didn't follow, saying that it was okay to take a look separately first.
The stall owner put the flat pot into a wooden box, took it and said to Yu Yao, "Let's go!"
"You don't care?"
"Nothing serious, and I'll let the guy come over when I get back to the store. ”
The two entered the Mingjin Pavilion, and the stall owner asked a young man in the shop to support the stall. There was another guy in the store, "This is my nephew." The stall owner introduced, and then ordered the young man to pour tea.
Yu Yao sat down, and the stall owner smiled, "My name is Zhang Yiming, what do you call it?"
"My surname is Yu. ”
"Mr. Yu, wait a minute. Zhang Yiming said, and took the things.
Zhang Yiming brought three boxes, a wooden box and two brocade boxes. The wooden box was the smallest, and he opened it first.
Yu Yao saw that it was actually another bronze gold.
