Chapter 204: It turned out to be a game
Qi Diaohai took out the box he brought, put it on the table, and explained while opening it: "Something happened at home, I have a pair of ancestral blue and white dishes from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, and I want to transfer them." ”
When Meng Zitao heard this, he suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, the relationship between Zhang Younian and Lao Yang is very good, if it is something else, maybe Zhang Younian may introduce the lacquer carving sea over, but porcelain, he just introduced it directly to Lao Yang?
If it's too valuable, wouldn't Qi Diaohai be able to get more income by taking things to a large auction company?
But if there is a problem with things, how can Zhang Younian let the lacquer carving sea come to his side?
Therefore, Meng Zitao began to doubt in his heart and felt that there was something wrong with this matter. However, he remained silent on the surface, watching Zhang Younian take out a pair of blue and white porcelain plates from the box.
"Shopkeeper Meng, can you take a look at things first?" Qi Diaohai said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll take a look. ”
Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, and took the blue and white porcelain plate in his hand. However, as soon as he got his hands on the things, he was surprised.
This pair of blue and white porcelain dishes are crystal white and glutinous rice under 20x magnification. The tire wall is thin and hard, with a high degree of porcelainization, and a crisp metallic sound is made when tapped with your fingers. The glaze is blue-white, pure and moist, the glaze is thin and pure, the glaze contains bubbles, the glaze juice is warm and white, and it is like jade.
The blue and white color is extremely pure, clean and flawless, bright and fresh; in addition, the bottom of the utensils is written in the blue and white "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty" six-character regular script, the font is clear, beautiful, neat, it is a typical Song style small Kai, and the arrangement between the words is much closer than the Kangxi official paragraph. Judging from these points, it has typical Yongzheng characteristics.
Look at the ornamentation again, its outer wall is painted with blue and white Sanskrit. The blue and white double circle on the inner wall is painted with four vajra pestles arranged in a cross shape, and knotted with streamers. The pen is delicate and delicate, the pen is sharp, the composition is sparse and bright, the ornamentation is concise and clear, and the theme is prominent. It is also a typical feature of Yongzheng official kiln.
Meng Zitao carefully examined this pair of porcelain plates, confirmed that they are indeed a pair of genuine products, and although the porcelain plates are small, but the tire repair is meticulous, there are no turning marks, the painting is very exquisite, the words are dignified and beautiful, and its craftsmanship highlights the extraordinary character of Yongzheng imperial porcelain, and the pairs are well preserved. It's very rare.
Meng Zitao estimated that with the current market situation, the value of this pair of porcelain plates should be about 500,000 yuan, and if it is auctioned, the transaction price may be higher.
This is exactly what Meng Zitao thinks is strange, although Zhang Younian does not collect porcelain much, but seeing such a pair of fine works, will Zhang Younian give up?
Moreover. At this price, Lao Yang must be affordable. Zhang Younian asked Qi Diaohai to come to him, which is also a bit unreasonable, and he and Zhang Younian don't have such a deep friendship.
Because of such doubts, Meng Zitao planned to test it, and said with a smile: "Have you seen this pair of blue and white disc teacher Zhang?"
Qi Diaohai nodded and said, "I have seen it, but we have not negotiated the price between us." Then he asked me to come to you. ”
Looking at Qi Diaohai's calm appearance, Meng Zitao felt that he didn't seem to be lying, but he still couldn't figure out why Zhang Younian wanted to introduce him to him.
Unable to think of a clue, Meng Zitao put this question aside for a while. asked: "Mr. lacquer carving, I like this porcelain plate very much, please give me a price." ”
"Eight hundred thousand!" the lacquer carving sea gestured.
Seeing that Qi Diaohai put on a posture of whether you like to buy or not, Meng Zitao understood why Zhang Younian didn't negotiate the price with this person. But what he didn't understand was that since Qi Diaohai transferred this pair of porcelain plates because of something at home, why did he give such a high price?
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "With all due respect, your price, unless it is two or three years later or it is possible, no matter where you go now, no one will be able to give you such a high price." If you're determined, there's nothing I can do to help. ”
Qi Diaohai frowned and said, "But someone told me that you can pay this price." ”
Shu Ze next to him interjected: "To put it mildly, whoever gives you this price, you can go to whoever you want to see if he can give you this price." ”
Qi Diaohai said with certainty: "My friend shouldn't lie to me, but it's because it takes a while to get money, so I didn't agree." ”
Meng Zitao knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and asked, "Does your friend work in an auction company?"
Qi Diaohai said: "Yes. ”
Shu Ze laughed and said, "I'm sure that your friend lied to you, just to earn you all kinds of appraisal fees, handling fees, and the like." If you think what I said is wrong, you can take the things to Xiangjiang Fubi, and if he can estimate the value of your things at 800,000 yuan, then I can buy them for double the price. ”
Seeing that Shu Ze said so much, Qi Diaohai was also a little shaken in his heart, and said with some hesitation: "Could it be that my friend really lied to me?"
Meng Zitao said: "If you want to know if he has lied to you, it is actually very simple, you just need to call him and ask him whether he pays the fee first or later, if he pays the fee first, you also know what it means, right?"
"Okay!"
Qi Diaohai stood up, walked out the door and began to make a call.
Seeing Shu Ze flipping the porcelain plate over and over again, Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Do you like this pair of porcelain plates?"
Shu Ze smiled: Isn't this obvious? Such a small and fine thing is rare in the porcelain of the Yongzheng official kiln, how about letting it be given to me?"
Meng Zitao pretended to be reluctant and said, "But I like it too." ”
Shu Ze smiled: "You kid just got a brother kiln fish ear stove, eat meat, you have to give me a soup, right?"
"What's the news?"
"You say yes first. ”
"You talk about ...... first"
The two of them were like children, just these two sentences over and over again, so that the army next to them didn't feel it.
"Shopkeeper Meng, help me take a look at this flower bowl. ”
At this time, Meng Zitao heard Lao Yang's voice, and before anyone arrived, the sound arrived first, and Meng Zitao turned his head. I saw Lao Yang running in from the door panting.
"Elder Yang, sit down for a while and take a sip of tea. Meng Zitao said with a smile.
Lao Yang waved his hand: "No, I'm still waiting for me over there, can you help me see if this is from the Xuande Dynasty or Kangxi?"
Meng Zitao responded. picked up the flower bowl that Lao Yang put on the table, and Yang took a breath, and noticed the pair of porcelain plates on the table, and his eyes couldn't move.
"Old Yang, the thing is not mine yet, if you want to see it, you can't get started for the time being. When Meng Zitao noticed Lao Yang's movements, he laughed and said in his heart: "If only Lao Yang knew." This is Zhang Younian pushed me here, I don't know what kind of expression he will have. ”
"Hehe, it should be fine for you to hold it for me. Lao Yang was a little embarrassed to mention this method.
"What about your flower bowl?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.
"Hey, let him wait a little longer. Lao Yang said indifferently.
Meng Zitao shook his head with a smile: "Okay, it's your business anyway, you can do whatever you want." ”
However, just as Meng Zitao picked up the porcelain plate, Qi Diaohai walked into the store with a gloomy face. He was slightly startled when he saw another person in the room. But I didn't pay much attention to it, so I went back to my original position.
Meng Zitao asked: "Mr. lacquer carving, this friend of mine wants to see your pair of porcelain plates, I don't know if it's okay?"
"It's fine. The lacquer carving waved his hand.
Lao Yang's face bloomed with joy, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and then turned his attention to the pair of porcelain plates.
Meng Zitao opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what your friend said?"
Qi Diaohai sighed depressedly. said: "Just like you said, he does have to pay first, and if the thing is identified as genuine, what is the pre-exhibition fee and storage fee?" This fee and that fee are all added up, and it actually costs me 50,000 yuan!"
"Later, I asked other friends to inquire, and it turned out that in addition to deceiving me, he also deceived other people, and in total, he had deceived nearly 100,000 yuan. Think about a person who cheats even his relatives and friends for money, and it feels hateful to think about it. ”
For Meng Zitao, who often hears strange things in the antique market, this kind of person is already commonplace, so he only meets two sentences, and asks: "Mr. lacquer carving, what do you say about the price now?"
"This ......" Qi Diaohai hesitated a little and said, "I really don't have a number, why don't you give an opinion, okay?"
Meng Zitao shook his head: "You better talk about your psychological price first, if the difference is not big, let's discuss it again." ”
Although the things are good, everyone likes them, but he still abides by the rules, after all, he doesn't know the sea of lacquer carvings, who knows whether to sell antiques, or to estimate the price?
Qi Diaohai scratched his head and said, "I really don't know much about the market!"
When Lao Yang heard this, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "That is, Shopkeeper Meng doesn't care, if it is someone else, you say this kind of thing, you have to be sent away." ”
"Why?" said Qi Diaohai in surprise.
"It's very simple......" Lao Yang said the relevant rules: "Moreover, if the buyer and the seller do not make a deal due to price differences, and the seller finds another house to negotiate and still does not make a deal, when the first buyer returns to the first buyer, the first buyer will generally not buy." ”
Qi Diaohai said embarrassedly: "I really didn't know there was such a rule. ”
"Don't blame those who don't know, you ......" Meng Zitao smiled and looked at the pair of porcelain plates again.
"Let me think about it. Qi Diaohai was silent for a moment and said, "Six hundred thousand, how?"
Meng Zitao was about to speak, but Lao Yang preemptively said: "This gentleman, please wait a while, I have something to discuss with the shopkeeper Meng." ”
"Yes. ”
Lao Yang glanced at Meng Zitao, and the two walked to the reception room next door.
"Elder Yang, you don't want that pair of porcelain plates, do you?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.
Lao Yang smiled: "I want to, but I don't have the guts." ”
Lao Yang's words made Meng Zitao a little confused, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Lao Yang didn't sell anything, and said bluntly: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a pair of stolen goods, do you think I dare to ask for it?"
"Stolen goods?" Meng Zitao was a little dumbfounded.
"Yes. Lao Yang nodded and said: "A Tibetan friend of mine in Luzhou, he has a porcelain plate that is identical to one by one, but half a month ago, it was stolen along with some things at home." When I saw them just now, I was still a little strange. I thought it was from the same kiln. ”
"However, my friend's pair of porcelain plates have been scientifically appraised and a little sample was taken from the bottom of each plate. At the bottom of the pair of porcelain plates just now, there were not only sampling marks of the same size, but also the same position. You say how could it be if it's not the same?"
Meng Zitao pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is another strange thing, he told me before that it was Teacher Zhang Younian who introduced him to me. ”
"Impossible!" Lao Yang shook his head directly: "Fine porcelain like this, even if I can't afford it, Lao Zhang will notify me no matter what, no matter what, it is impossible to push him directly to you." ”
"Still. Why would he say that?" said Mencius strangely.
"I'll call him and ask him. ”
As he spoke, Lao Yang took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Younian.
"Lao Yang, what's the matter, did you tell me to drink?"
"I'll talk about drinking later, let me ask you, do you know a ......?"
"Lacquer carved sea. Meng Zitao reminded beside him.
"Yes, the man who carved the sea. ”
"Recognize. What's wrong?"
"Then did you ask him to come to Shopkeeper Meng?"
"I did let him go to Shopkeeper Meng, is there any problem? It can't be that he is taking the 'Gao Lao Ba', right?"
Lao Yang heard this. The whole person was stunned, and then he became angry and said, "Okay! You old Zhang, I believe in you so much, you actually do such a thing!"
Zhang Younian was confused when he heard this, and said, "Old Yang." Are you mistaken about what it is, what is it that I actually do such a thing! I asked Qi Diaohai to take his Duan Yan to find the shopkeeper Meng, is it still in your way. ”
"You...... What! Duan Yan? Not a pair of Yongzheng blue and white porcelain plates?"
"Huh?" Zhang Younian was also stunned, and said, "What the hell is this guy doing? Is there something wrong with something?"
Lao Yang said: "The door is open to the generation, but it is a black product." It's exactly the same as the one a friend of mine lost half a month ago. ”
When Zhang Younian heard this, he immediately became a little anxious: "Didn't this guy trap me in injustice? No, I'll come over immediately." ”
"Hey......" Lao Yang was just about to say something more, but Zhang Younian hung up the phone.
"Teacher Zhang said it was Duan Yan?" Meng Zitao asked.
"Yes, he said that it was because of the inkstone taken by the lacquer carving sea that he asked him to find you. Lao Yang replied.
"Hehe, it's getting a little fun. ”
Meng Zitao laughed, with what the lacquer carved sea did, the Eight Achievements were aimed at him.
Some people may think that this is meaningless, but think about it, if Qi Diaohai sells a lot of dirty things to him, and in the end, he calls the police and says that the dirty things are with him, even if it is impossible to regard him as the culprit, just the dirty things are confiscated, it can also make him lose a lot of money.
In the end, part of this money is likely to flow into the hands of his enemies, and he feels aggrieved when he thinks about it.
Fortunately, he was lucky, before the incident, Lao Yang, who knew about it, happened to come over, otherwise, he would have to suffer a dumb loss in this matter.
"Elder Yang, thank you in advance. ”
Meng Zitao arched his hand to Lao Yang, said a few words of thanks, and went out, pretending to apologize to Qidiaohai, and called Shu Ze into the reception room.
"Did you get into trouble again?" Although Shu Ze didn't know the truth yet, he already had some guesses in his heart.
Meng Zitao talked about the matter for a while, and sighed: "Hey, I don't know what happened to my luck......
"Wait. ”
Shu Ze interrupted him: "Who said that it must be for you, maybe it was for me? Think about it, if you don't come early, you won't come late, but I came when I came to you, do you think there is any connection between this?"
Meng Zitao was silent, speaking of which, he did have some doubts just now, because there were only a few enemies in him, and the people who were so mad that they came up with this kind of idea were Xue Wenguang and Mouse who were the most suspicious, but the possibility of these two people coming up with such an idea in order to teach him a lesson was really very small.
The reason is also simple, neither of them is a rich person, how can they easily let go of tens or even millions of wealth?
And if it is changed to Shu Ze, there will be many more candidates. Although the money lost in the end was just a drizzle for Shu Ze, if Shu Ze was really fooled, or if he was fooled, it would be a joke. (To be continued.) )
