Chapter 940: Special Jade Bottle
Dai Guanglan said: "It is indeed feasible to go to Taobao abroad, but not to mention that I don't have much time, there are many categories in the collection market, 'the road is one foot high, the magic is one foot high', and now the popularity of the market has brought all kinds of fakes to come into being, and it is easy to find the right person to Taobao." ”
Meng Zitao said: "You can only find another way to do this, you can find some foreign antique dealers through your friends and ask them to help you choose, in addition, you can find foreign antique investment consultants, they will help you choose, but their fees are relatively high and more troublesome." ”
Speaking of this, Meng Zitao didn't say anything, not to mention that he didn't have a channel in this regard, and under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to say his own channel.
Of course, Dai Guanglan also understood that Meng Zitao was able to talk about this, which had already made him overjoyed, how could there be other excessive requirements.
Dai Guanglan smiled and thanked Meng Zitao, saying that he had already asked people to go to the bank to get the things, just wait for a while.
After another five or six minutes of chatting, Dai Guanglan's assistant came over, still holding a hand-held safe.
Everyone followed Dai Guanglan to his office, and the assistant opened the safe, and there was a brocade box inside.
Meng Zitao observed carefully, and to his delight, this Dingyao wash was almost the same as Chang Yanghui's, with a ninety-eight-percent similarity. Of course, this is a genuine product, only with a slight bump on the rim, but this is normal and harmless.
Such an artifact, if he adds some modifications, it should not be much of a problem to deceive Chang Yanghui, and then Chang Yanghui's plan can be found out.
"Teacher Meng, what do you think?" Dai Guanglan asked with a smile.
"Very good. Meng Zitao was very satisfied: "Please make a price." ”
"That's it. Dai Guanglan drew a six-character comparison, of course, not 600,000, but 6 million.
Meng Zitao hurriedly said: "How embarrassing this is!"
As I said before, Chang Yanghui's fixed kiln wash, even if it has been repaired, is worth more than six million, and this one is still a complete device, and the price of six million is already very cheap.
Dai Guanglan said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, you don't have to be so polite, you just helped me solve the problem of supply, I always want to express it, besides, I didn't spend much money on this fixed kiln washing when I bought it, and I have already made a lot of money." ”
Meng Zitao put off for a while, and finally agreed, just as he was about to pay, someone knocked on the door, Dai Guanglan got up to open the door, but it was a young man in his thirties, and an old man in his fifties and sixties.
The young man looked into the room and said with a smile: "Brother Dai, there are guests?"
Dai Guanglan nodded at the old man, and then said to the young man, "Since you know, don't come and bother me." ”
Judging from Dai Guanglan's attitude, he should not be unkind to this young man, and directly issued an expulsion order.
But the young man didn't care about it, he couldn't be thick-skinned, and walked into the house with a smile: "Brother Dai, you don't welcome me so much, besides, I have a business with you today!"
Dai Guanglan couldn't forcibly drive the young man away, so he had to say, "I don't want to talk to you about business." ”
"Don't be so ruthless, Brother Dai doesn't treat your brother like this?"
The young man suddenly showed a look of resentment, which made Meng Zitao and Cheng Qiheng a little stunned, and they also wanted to be sick to their stomachs.
Dai Guanglan also couldn't stand him a little, and said directly: "Don't take your set, say it quickly, let it go if you have a fart!"
A bright smile appeared on the young man's face: "I heard that the Dingyao Wash in your hand is about to be shot, and you also know that I am very interested in it, can you give me a chance?"
Dai Guanglan's face changed: "Who did you listen to?"
"Of course I have to keep this kind of thing a secret for the other party. The young man laughed.
Dai Guanglan looked at the young man for a while, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you are late, I have already given things to my friends." ”
The young man smiled: "Oh, that's better, to be honest, I'm really not sure to buy that Dingyao wash from you." ”
Speaking of this, the young boss walked to Meng Zitao and them unceremoniously, and said politely: "I am Yu Xingyan, I don't know the names of the two high surnames?"
The two briefly introduced themselves, and Meng Zitao said: "Mr. Yu, I'm sorry, this piece of kiln washing is urgent for us, and it can't be transferred to you." ”
Yu Xingyan said with a smile: "Friend, don't be in a hurry to refuse, let's discuss, Elder Fang, please take out what I just got." ”
Seeing him say this, Meng Zitao didn't speak, ready to see what he could come up with first.
The old man who followed Yu Xingyan took out two brocade boxes and opened one of them, but it was a jade wall.
This piece is carved through the air and the dragon pattern, the flesh is like a ring, and the valley pattern is carved on it. In addition to the graceful lines, the dragon quadrupeds also reflect a full sense of muscle volume, full of dynamics. The dragon's eyes are wide open, the mouth is open, and the simple lines show a vivid form. The dragon's tail is curled back and rolled up, and the strings are delicately carved on it.
Looking at the carving, jade should be a work of the Warring States period, and every detail shows the exquisiteness of the highest craftsmanship of the Warring States jade. Both the design and the carving process are exquisite, and the whole piece of jade glass shines brightly, and the size of the palm is a treasure.
However, Meng Zitao only glanced at it a few times, and then returned the jade bi: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in this thing. ”
Yu Xingyan was slightly stunned: "Friend, can you tell what this is?"
Dai Guanglan reprimanded: "Don't be so unreasonable, he is a senior disciple of Zheng Lao, can he not understand this?"
"Which Elder Zheng?" Yu Xingyan looked confused.
That Old Fang is face changed: "You are Teacher Meng?"
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "I am Meng Zitao." ”
Elder Fang confirmed Meng Zitao's identity, then explained to Yu Xingyan, and then said to Meng Zitao: "Teacher Meng, you must have seen the problem with this jade, but I forgive my clumsiness for not seeing the problem, so I want to ask you a question or two!"
Yu Xingyan took over and said: "That's right, even I can see Shen Yun in this piece of jade, is Shen Yun also fake?"
Meng Zitao knew that Yu Xingyan was a little difficult, so it was better to waste a little tongue to explain, so as not to be remembered by him.
"Generally speaking, the carving of ancient jade can still be imitated with current technology, but Shen Yun is not easy to imitate, simply put, the shape is easy to imitate, and Shen Yun is not easy to imitate. This is because the person who makes the imitation uses the wrong tool, so the imitation can not be liked, the jade above the Han Dynasty is hand-carved, and the person who makes the imitation uses the stone tool to rotate to carve the jade, so naturally it cannot carve the charm. ”
If the phase is the appearance of the jade, then the heart is the carving, and the carving determines the appearance and charm of the jade. ”
"The hand carver above the Han Dynasty is a kind of charm and knife road, the stone tool worker of the Song to Qing Dynasty is another kind of charm and knife road, and the modern drill is also a different charm and knife path, but modern people are deliberately using the drill to imitate the antique. Hand carvers and stone workers are two different kinds of work, and different tools naturally have different appearances. ”
"But what if you also engrave it by hand? It can indeed reach a very imaginary level, and the charm can be expressed, but the role of time is very difficult to imitate......
Yu Xingyan interjected when he heard this: "What about the glass light on it?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This is the problem of technology, according to the results of the experiment, the 'glass light' on the surface of jade in the Warring States and Han dynasties was formed by adding hematite powder during high-speed polishing. The surface of "glass light" is very dense and not easy to be eroded, such as many jade artifacts with "glass light" unearthed from many Han tombs, the light can be seen, as if it had just been made. ”
"And the old can start from this aspect, now the problem of the old glass light, modern people can also imitate the ruthless like, you can go to the capital to see, some national treasure carving beautiful complete and calcified antique pieces, many are very similar to the old glass light, these antique pieces if a few years or decades, the glass light will be no different from the old pieces. ”
Yu Xingyan said again: "Then you have to say, what's wrong with my jade, right?"
Meng Zitao said: "The grain pattern is a common ornament on the jade of the Han Dynasty. Generally, this kind of ornament is bas-relief, the hand touch has obvious protrusions, sleek feeling, the arrangement is neat and not disorderly, even if it is close to the edge of the jade, it is also represented by the yin line half a circle, in order to show neatness; If you look at this grain pattern, do you think it's very abrupt?"
Yu Xingyan and Fang Lao looked at Meng Zitao's hand, which was indeed a little abrupt.
Fang Lao was very annoyed, there must be something wrong with this kind of grain pattern, and he couldn't jump over any reason: "Yan Shao, I'm sorry, I saw it wrong." ”
Yu Xingyan waved his hand and said with a smile: "People have stumbled, this jade bi is so realistic, don't I see it? ”
Old Fang nodded to himself, and then took out a jade bottle.
This is a six-inch, that is, less than twenty centimeters of jade bottle, the jade is white and blue, delicate and crystalline, warm and transparent, and the jade material is immaculate. It imitates the effect of bronze ornamental casting, adding to the ancient charm.
The left and right sides of the neck of the neck are carved into the pattern of the head of the beast, which is connected to the bottle body downward, and the circle is surrounded by a circular ring for the ears, which is supplemented by the shallow carving of the bottle body, and the dragon pattern is decorated. The Ruyi pattern is carved on the neck of the neck, and the abdomen is carved with an elegant dragon pattern.
This piece of jade bottle is made of large materials, the layout is neat, showing the exquisite jade carving process, and its large shape and general trend are integrated with exquisite interest, which is the perfect combination of jade and artificial, and complements each other.
The jade bottle has a matching Hetian jade lid, which is tightly sealed, and Meng Zitao carefully twisted it a few times before opening it, and found that the inside of the jade bottle was actually hollowed out, which can be used to hold liquids, but this situation is very rare.
