Since it would take a while for the porcelain tiles to be prepared, Meng Zitao said hello to everyone and first appreciated the existing collections in the vault.

To say, now the collection in the vault, is indeed not too precious, but it is not ordinary, in terms of porcelain, although the official kiln ware only accounts for one-fifth, but the rest of the kiln porcelain, but basically the fine products in the kiln, are more popular in the market, the price is also relatively good.

In addition, the things here are all genuine products with wide open doors, and it is estimated that the person in charge of collecting them also put a lot of thought into it.

Generally speaking, because the newly established auction company has not yet established its own credibility and is less famous, it usually hires two or three people who have worked in the auction industry for a long time and have certain customer resources to be responsible for soliciting lots.

After that, after a period of accumulation, if the auction commission circle has a good reputation for the auction company, it will accumulate a certain amount of its own reputation.

At this time, except for some rare works or special lots, other general lot sellers will automatically come to the door, and at this time, there is no need to invest as much manpower as in the initial stage to collect lots.

And this stage is the only way for all newly established auction companies, unless they burn money and dig up a large number of professionals in the industry, they can only come honestly step by step.

Meng Zitao and they have discussed, not to do things that burn money, first, they really want to make the auction company bigger and stronger, hoping to accumulate relevant experience by starting from scratch. In addition, with Shu Ze, there is no need to worry about connections, and it can even be said that some companies have burned a lot of money, and they can't compare to the effect brought by Shu Ze alone.

Due to the company's grass-roots creation, there are now two professionals in the company who are responsible for recruiting, both of whom were recruited by Zhang Jingqiang with high salaries. Judging from the current situation, their work is still right, and their high salary is still worthy.

"Huh?"

Meng Zitao got a "Fuchang Heavy Treasure" folded three regular script big money, and his expression was a little suspicious.

"Fuchang Heavy Treasure" is a coin minted by the Southern Song Dynasty.

At the time of the war between Song and Jin, Liu Yu rebelled against Song and surrendered to Jin, and was named the puppet emperor by the Jin people in July of the fourth year of Jianyan with the year name Fuchang. During the eight years of Emperor Yu's reign of Qi, Liao money and Song money were passed, and the old money was not enough, but it was imitated by Daguan money and cast Fuchang money.

The minting of Fuchang money ended the history of not minting copper coins for more than 40 years in the early Jin Dynasty, and it can be regarded as the first minting of coins in the Jin Dynasty. Fuchang money calligraphy is very beautiful, casting fine, Qian Wen is beautiful and beautiful, no less than the Northern Song Dynasty Chongning, Daguan, Xuanhe Zhuqian.

However, because Liu Yu's puppet regime did not exist for a long time. In addition, the circulation area of Fuchang money is basically the same as that of the puppet Qi regime, which is limited to the northern part of the country, so the number of coins minted and issued is not much, and the survival is even rarer.

Like the "Fuchang Heavy Treasure" folded three regular book money, if it is of such a quality in the hands of Meng Zitao now, it is worth at least about forty or fifty thousand, and the big money is even more unbelievable.

A large coin is a coin that is larger than the common copper coin and has a higher value than the ordinary copper coin. This large amount of money is nothing if it is in the era when the coins are in large quantities. But on the "Fuchang Heavy Treasure" folded three regular book money, then Meng Zitao could not be surprised.

Because Meng Zitao had never seen it before, nor had he heard of it, there was a lot of money in the "Fuchang Heavy Treasure" folded three regular scripts.

Think about it, if it's a coin you've never heard of before, if it's genuine. Whether it is the market value or the research value, it is quite amazing, and it will also attract the attention of the ancient spring community, which is very beneficial to the company's reputation accumulation.

So, Meng Zitao hurriedly observed carefully. Looking at the font, looking at the material, looking at the process, I found that the production is quite good, and the text is deep, as if it has not been used before.

"That's not right!"

Meng Zitao suddenly realized that there was a problem, because this big coin, in the position of the perforation, and when the money was pierced with a rope, it was worn for a long time, but the performance of the text was as if it had not been used before, isn't that a contradiction?

Since there was not much research on the coin, Mencius used the ability, and the result given by the ability was exactly what he suspected, the big coin was indeed a fake, and it was made in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

After learning the result, Meng Zitao suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't see any traces of oldness, it turned out that time had erased some traces.

While Mencius was looking for other flaws in the coin, others noticed it, because Mencius hadn't stood in front of an object for so long, which made everyone realize that it was unusual.

So, Zhang Jingqiang hurriedly walked over with everyone and asked if there was anything wrong.

In this environment, some of the rules of the antique world are not needed.

Therefore, Meng Zitao put the coins in his hand on the Bogu shelf in front of him, and said directly to Qingqiang: "Teacher Qing, have you ever seen this 'Fuchang Heavy Treasure' folded three regular script coins?"

Qingqiang saw Meng Zitao ask this, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and nodded: "I have seen it before, but I haven't found any problems yet, I don't know if Director Meng has found anything?"

Zhang Jingqiang took over and said: "This 'Fuchang Heavy Treasure' folded three regular book big money, I also looked at it carefully the day before yesterday, and I also found no problem, originally I wanted to promote it as an important lot." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Mr. Zhang, where did you collect this coin?"

After listening to Meng Hongchang's previous words, he also realized that public is public, private is private, and it is better to use formal titles in the company.

Zhang Jingqiang said: "This coin was collected by Manager Li from the hands of the villagers of XX, the villagers said that it was from the previous tomb, and later after investigation, it was found that what he said was the truth, there is indeed such a thing, and also collected a lot of coins from the surrounding villagers, and a considerable part of these ancient coins in front of you were collected from there." ”

Numismatics, unlike bronzes, are not as strictly managed, and things have been going on for a few years and are not very risky. In addition, Meng Zitao believes that Zhang Jingqiang should be able to deal with the relevant issues, even if the origin is indeed the case, he does not want to say more.

He thought for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, most of the coins unearthed from the tomb are genuine, but if the owner of the tomb happens to be an ancient spring lover, it is not necessarily. The authenticity of the thing depends on the eyesight of the owner of the tomb. ”

"For example, if the owner of the tomb is a person from the Republic of China, the coins he was buried in are undoubtedly before the Republic of China, however, there were also counterfeit coins during the Republic of China. Not to mention before. If this person has a high level in life, it is unlikely that there will be a fake, but if the eyesight is not good, it is difficult to say. ”

In fact, there are many examples of this kind, for example, in the 70s, when the ruins of the residence of King Pi of the Tang Dynasty were excavated, a lot of coins were found. At first, everyone thought they were genuine, but later a staff member discovered that one of the new coins was actually imitated by later generations. ”

After listening to Meng Zitao's words, everyone agreed, and then, everyone's eyes returned to the 'Fuchang Heavy Treasure' folded three regular script coins in front of them.

Qingqiang said: "Director Meng. I agree with what you say, but before that. We also compared it with other three-dollar discounts, but we didn't find any problems. ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "The workmanship of this coin is indeed very realistic, but let's not talk about anything else, you don't think there are traces of this money hole." Is there enough to draw snakes?"

Qingqiang was a little confused at first, then his face changed greatly, he took a few steps back, bowed deeply to everyone, and said, "I'm sorry." I was negligent, and I will resign immediately!"

Zhang Jingqiang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Teacher Qing, you are too much, who hasn't been in this industry, can't everyone give up food because of choking?"

Qingqiang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm choking, but I just think that my level is too poor, and I don't even see such a flaw." I think that as I am, I still need to learn more, and I shouldn't work in the company, so as not to let the company cause losses because of me. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Teacher Qing, it's dark under the lamp, many people will encounter it, I have seen other things you identified, and there is no problem, you can't be denied because of one thing, right?"

Speaking of which, Meng Zitao didn't have the idea of letting Qingqiang resign at all, not to mention that Qingqiang's ability is really good, the key is that on the first day he came to the company, someone resigned because of his words, which made people feel really bad.

Next, Zhang Jingqiang persuaded a few more words, which made Qingqiang temporarily dispel the idea of leaving.

For Qingqiang, he didn't want to leave with the salary offered to him by the company, but today, when Meng Zitao came for the first time, he found his omission, which made his face gloomy, so he moved the idea of resigning.

Zhang Jingqiang asked, "Director Meng, now can you tell me what the problem you just said?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, you see that the holes of the coin are worn, but the words on the surface have no traces of wear, isn't this a contradiction? ”

"But like these places, there are some sorry for the name of Fuchang Chongbao, everyone should know that there is a record of Fuchang in the "Yongle Canon", saying, 'Jin Shi, Tianhui eight years, Ji Nan Taishou Liu...... At that time, the coins minted were six and a great treasure...... Quite well-made'......"

Next, Mencius pointed out several small problems on the coins one after another, but the small problems accumulated and became big problems.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his own opinions, Meng Zitao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, there was also a "Fuchang Heavy Treasure" regular script folded two coins for comparison, otherwise it was really impossible for him to find out a few small problems.

After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, Zhang Jingqiang needless to say, has always had confidence in Meng Zitao, while Qingqiang and Kong Yuedong have seen Meng Zitao's outstanding performance at the exchange meeting, and now it is like this, which just makes them admire it more.

It was Liu Baoyuan's turn to have a great impression of Meng Zitao, after all, in the antique industry, most people can't do everything, everything is fine, but Meng Zitao already has such a little meaning, the key, he is only in his twenties, think about it carefully, I think it's quite amazing.

It is precisely because of Meng Zitao's outstanding performance that Liu Baoyuan is a little nervous in his heart, after all, he is so old, if he loses to Meng Zitao, a young man, it will be a little embarrassing.

After dealing with the matter of coins, Meng Zitao identified the remaining few things again, and this time there was no problem, which made Zhang Jingqiang breathe a long sigh of relief.

After that, everyone came to the company's reception room together, waiting for Wang Zhixuan to arrive with porcelain pieces, and waited until the afternoon, when Wang Zhixuan and Cheng Qiheng walked in together with two boxes.

Meng Zitao first introduced everyone, and the two sides said a few polite words, and the competition officially began.

Inside the two boxes, there are twenty-five pieces of porcelain in each, and since the porcelain pieces have been numbered, the competition between the two can be carried out at the same time.

For the sake of fairness, the two men took the porcelain tiles to the two rooms for identification, and no one could accompany them.

Before leaving, Meng Zitao gave Cheng Qiheng a reassuring look, and Cheng Qiheng also gave him a cheering gesture.

When I opened the box, I saw that there were porcelain pieces of different sizes and colors inside, and if it was an ordinary person, I would be dazzled just by looking at it.

Although he had the help of the ability, and Meng Zitao already had plans to cheat, he didn't want to use the ability now, after all, there were not many such opportunities, and he didn't want to waste the opportunity to learn.

The porcelain pieces were taken out of the box one by one and placed on the table, and then, from left to right, Mencius began to identify them.

However, the first piece of porcelain gave Meng Zitao a "dismount", because the performance of this porcelain piece was Yuan Qinghua.

Speaking of Yuan blue and white porcelain, since July 2005, the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty with the main decoration of "Guiguzi Descending Mountain" was sold at a price of about 230 million yuan at Christie, and it has become a household name in the antique circle. Since then, the Yuan blue and white market has been soaring, and there are constantly collections sold at high prices at auctions.

However, not all Yuan Qinghua are valuable, what is really valuable is those Yuan Qinghua that use Su Ma Li green material.

In fact, this is also caused by objective factors, you know, Su Ma is imported cobalt material, in the Yuan Dynasty due to the underdeveloped transportation, from the production of green material to the porcelain capital, it is not easy. As a result, Su Ma is more expensive than gold.

In this way, it is easy to understand, such a valuable thing, if it were replaced by you, would you waste it on those low-grade utensils casually?

At that time, it was also the case, generally the best skilled painters were invited to paint those high-end utensils, so the Yuan Qinghua was quite high in terms of painting level and production level, and it was impossible to produce a lot at that time, and it has been handed down to the present, of course, there are even fewer.

Getting back to the point, Meng Zitao couldn't help but gasp when he saw the piece in his hand that looked very much like a genuine Yuan blue and white porcelain piece using Su Mali green material from the performance of the pigment...... (To be continued.) )
