Hardware grinned, revealing five gold teeth: "Yes, it is a soft screen in the Yongzheng period, and it is also made with three processes." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Most of the screens in the Qing Palace are made by a process, such as carved lacquer screens, red sandalwood screens, boxwood carved screens, etc. Only a few are made using a variety of crafts, such as rosewood frames inlaid with cloisonné enamel, carved lacquer screens inlaid with jade, etc. Therefore, this type of screen is generally more precious.

This made Meng Zitao a little curious, and asked, "What are the three crafts?"

Hardware replied: "That group of screens is made of wood carving, silk painting, and court painting. ”

Lao Niu had a look of surprise on his face: "Isn't it, this kind of screen, if it is well preserved, is estimated to be worth tens of millions, right?"

Hardware smiled and said: "Not more, 06 years, there was an auction auction mahogany carved inlay silk painted screen, the transaction price at that time was more than 80 million, although that group of screens due to the use of four processes, but I said that the group of screens is not bad, the material is also used in the best Huanghuali, very valuable." ”

Meng Zitao said: "In this case, isn't it better to get it at auction, so why trade it privately." ”

Hardware said: "The auction has to pay a lot of fees, and the original owner did not plan to sell, and now there is something at home, so I can only endure the pain." ”

Meng Zitao nodded, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Hardware asked: "Shopkeeper Meng, I don't know if you have any ideas about this set of screens?"

Meng Zitao thought about it and said that it would be a lie if he didn't want it, but the price of such a screen should not be low, he is now in the factory, he needs a sum of money, if he buys the screen, then there may be no money, how much is a trouble.

However, Meng Zitao didn't want to miss such an opportunity, and after buying something, if he was short of money, he could take it to the auction to bid. Of course, that was a last resort, and if such a thing was bought now and sold in only a month or two, it would be a bit of a loss.

The thoughts in his mind turned around, and Meng Zitao asked, "I don't know where the screen is now?"

Hardware said: "The screen is a boss in Gusu, if you want to go early, we can go to Gusu now, but the transfer is a little troublesome, or you can go today, and you can come back early tomorrow morning to deal with the matter." ”

Meng Zitao thought about it, and felt that things over there in the factory couldn't be dragged on like this all the time, and he didn't have anything to do at home, so he just went to Gusu now.

"Okay, let's go now. ”

"Okay. ”

Hardware nodded with a smile, and then said: "However, there is one thing I want to explain in advance, in terms of price, there may not be any discounts from the other party." ”

Of course, Meng Zitao understood that this kind of treasured antiques, under normal circumstances, the owners are reluctant to sell, and it is basically impossible to reduce the price.

Meng Zitao packed up his things, called his parents and He Wanyi, and said that he was going to Gusu, and then received a call from Shu Ze.

Shu Ze excitedly told Meng Zitao on the phone that Brother Leopard had been caught, and Brother Leopard confessed that the matter was actually instructed by the Bu family to do it, and he also confessed some illegal things of the Bu family.

Therefore, the Shu family is ready to take this opportunity to settle the grievances between the two families, at least it should be able to make the Bu family hurt.

However, because he was worried that Bu Jiating would take risks and cause some trouble, Shu Ze wanted to ask the army to support.

Of course, Meng Zitao would not object, and asked Shu Ze to pay attention to safety.

Hung up the phone, as soon as Meng Zitao told the army about the matter, the army was ready to set off for Lingshi, as for the safety of Meng Zitao, the army was not too worried, and now, unless a firearm is used, it is basically impossible to hurt Meng Zitao.

In addition, what everyone doesn't know is that Meng Zitao's current sixth sense can completely allow him to avoid evil, as long as he is not too unlucky, there will basically be no safety problems.

After dealing with some things, Meng Zitao drove to Gusu with his hardware.

After more than an hour, Meng Zitao and they arrived in Gusu, and it was dinner time at this time, and everyone found a place to have dinner.

Since the two didn't know each other, they just chatted for a while, and they didn't have the nature of going out to play, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, after the two had breakfast, Meng Zitao drove to his friend with hardware.

On the way, the hardware said some of the boss's situation, the boss's surname is Gong, called Gong Huanchao, originally a furniture boss in Gusu, but he partnered with a so-called friend to do business, was deceived by a friend, and owed a lot of debts, so he had to deal with the set of screens to repay the debt.

The place where Gong Huanchao lives is located in a villa area by Taihu Lake, the villa area is not large, of course, it is not small, and only people with a certain strength can afford it, but now it is considered a tiger falling into Pingchuan, if it is not for his villa to sell or not, he wants to sell the villa.

contacted Gong Huanchao at the doorman, and the doorman let him go, and Meng Zitao stopped at the door of a villa according to the instructions.

However, in the car, Meng Zitao found that there was a high-end business vehicle with a Lingshi license plate parked at the door, which made him a little strange.

However, when the hardware saw the car, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Oops, we seem to be late." ”

"Why, do you know the owner of this car?" Meng Zitao asked.

Hardware said a little depressed: "Yes, the owner of this car is named Yang Ruifeng, he is a collector over there, he has a lot of good things in his hands, and his strength is strong, if you want to compete with him, you must have a little strength." ”

When Meng Zitao heard this, he felt even more strange: "No, why haven't I heard of it, there is such a person in the circle?"

Hardware said: "This guy is very low-key, and he basically goes to the auction to buy things, or directly asks people to send them to the door, and generally doesn't buy things from our side, and doesn't communicate much with people in our circle, I still met him by chance, otherwise I wouldn't know that there is this person on our side." ”

After listening to the explanation of the hardware, Meng Zitao couldn't help but think of the character Yun Dingsong they said, also surnamed Yang, and his strength is strong, and the possibility is very high when the two are compared!

Thinking of this, Meng Zitao said: "Since they are all here, let's go and see it first." ”

"Okay. Hardware continued: "Shopkeeper Meng, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect someone else to come." ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "What is this, who could have expected this kind of thing?"

Hardware smiled, stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and after a while, there was a housekeeper-like figure, politely following the two to say hello, and then took Meng Zitao and them into the villa.

The housekeeper took the two to the living room, only to see three people sitting in the living room, sitting in the main seat is a fat man, with a fat head and big ears, but frowning from time to time, it can be seen that he should have some troubles in his heart, no accident, this person should be the owner of the villa Gong Huanchao.

The other two are middle-aged people in their forties, both of them are dressed more casually, one has a shrewd look on his face, and the other has a big black mole on the corner of his mouth, and there are a few hairs on it, which looks like those villains and butlers in TV dramas.

Anyway, these two people don't feel very good about Meng Zitao.

After that, the hardware introduced Meng Zitao that the one who seemed to be a little shrewd was Yang Ruifeng, and as for the other one, he didn't know either.

Next, after introducing the two sides, Gong Huanchao didn't talk nonsense, so he asked everyone to follow and see the set of screens.

The screen is placed in a separate room, and there are some porcelain and other objects around it, but it is not a precious object, so it is not very beautiful.

Moreover, everyone's eyes were attracted by the screen, and they didn't have time to look at anything else.

This Huanghuali carved dragon 12 screens, 350 cm high, 58.5 cm wide each. It is made of selected high-quality huanghuali, with natural and clear texture and smooth lines. The craftsmanship is ingenious, and strive to be fine, so that the whole screen appears transparent and beautiful.

The top tapered ring plate is five open-carved dragon patterns, the posture of the dragon is vivid and vivid; the screen is framed with wide material, and the center of the screen is hollowed out longevity grid, and it is equipped with ten pieces of silk animals, which draw 10 kinds of animals such as deer, crane, bat, horse respectively. These animals have rigorous brushwork and are typical of court paintings.

There are 12 silk flowers at the opening place below. In ancient times, there was a saying of "an inch of silk and an inch of gold", and silk is the most noble variety in the silk weaving process, and it has always been a royal treasure. These 12 silk works are clear and flat, layered, dense and even, and the image quality is realistic, which is a rare royal silk boutique.

This group of screens can be described as exquisite craftsmanship, heavy and calm shape, the overall elegance and dignity, the atmosphere of wealth and wealth is compelling, ingenuity, the dragon soars and winds, the posture is beautiful and refined, it can be described as ingenuity.

When Meng Zitao saw one of the "White Horse Eating Sketches", he found that there seemed to be no problem with the shape of the horse, and the painter's skills looked good, but Meng Zitao always felt a little weird, and compared with other paintings, it seemed to be less agile.

"Is there something wrong with this painting?"

Meng Zitao observed again, and found a flaw that made him a little ridiculous.

After more than 20 minutes, everyone returned to their original positions with some unfinished feelings.

"You've seen the stuff too, so let's discuss how to bid. When Gong Huanchao spoke, there was some reluctance in his eyes, as if he really didn't want to sell things.

Yang Ruifeng smiled and said to Meng Zitao: "Shopkeeper Meng, can you take a step to speak?"

Meng Zitao nodded, and then the two walked aside.

Yang Ruifeng said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, I have also admired your name for a long time, it is really better to hear about it than to see it!"

"When you say that, are you saying that I'm too young?" Meng Zitao scolded, after all, he didn't show much just now, Yang Ruifeng said this, no wonder he thought of getting older.

After saying a few polite words that were not nutritious, Yang Ruifeng said: "Shopkeeper Meng, I really like this set of screens, I don't know if you can let me have a look this time?"

Meng Zitao felt that this person was a little funny, if it was a friend, he wouldn't talk nonsense, but the two met for the first time, and Yang Ruifeng didn't offer any compensation, so why should he let it?

So, Meng Zitao said with a smile that he also liked this set of screens, and he could only apologize for Yang Ruifeng's request.

Then, Yang Ruifeng immediately said, since this is the case, then the one with the highest price will get it.

Meng Zitao said Yang Ruifeng so happily, and he estimated in his heart that he should just think that he would not agree, so he deliberately said that, so he spoke very insincerely.

Originally, with the discovery just now, Meng Zitao was already not interested in this set of screens, so he didn't say that he really didn't want it, but he knew that the other party would not agree to the price in his mind at all.

Therefore, Meng Zitao originally had no idea of bidding, but Yang Ruifeng was bound to win, and there was a hint of arrogance, which made Meng Zitao feel a little unhappy.

In addition, Meng Zitao believed in his sixth sense, so he decided to pit Yang Ruifeng a little.

However, Yang Ruifeng did not give Meng Zitao such an opportunity at all, and directly bid 51 million.

This price, compared to the market price, is about 10% more expensive, which is still for the whole device is genuine. In this case, of course Meng Zitao will not follow him anymore, after all, the two have no grudges, so why do they go too far?

Now that the screen has a winner, Meng Zitao and Hardware said goodbye to Gong Huanchao.

got into the car, and there was a hint of unwillingness in his expression, because he believed that if it weren't for Yang Ruifeng's arrival, Meng Zitao would have bought this set of screens, and he would be able to get a lot of commissions at that time. Now he would be happy to see the cooked duck fly like this.

Meng Zitao noticed the look of the hardware and said, "Actually, even if there is no Yang Ruifeng, it is unlikely that I will have the opportunity to buy that set of screens." ”

"Why?" this time it was changed to hardware curiosity.

Meng Zitao said: "Because this set of screens is not a whole device. ”

"What do you mean?" Hardware was a little surprised.

Meng Zitao asked rhetorically: "I don't know if you noticed just now, the horse's eyes are closed when they are grazing?"

"That should be fine, right?" said Hardware, hesitantly.

Meng Zitao smiled: "You should have seen the stories written on the Internet to think that this is the case, right?"

In other words, there is a story on the Internet, saying that it is the sketch "Horse Food Grass" painted by the famous painter Okayama Yingju in Dongying, which has a realistic image and is about to come out, and has been praised as a "magic brush" by many famous masters. However, a Japanese farmer was not impressed, pointing out that the horse in the painting was blind.

Of course, the painter was not convinced, saying that the horse in the painting was obviously open, but the farmer told him that it was a blind horse, because the horse was afraid that his eyes would be punctured by the blades of grass when he ate grass, so he closed his eyes, and the painter suddenly realized.

Hardware asked with some hesitation: "Is what this story says wrong?" (To be continued.) )
