Chapter 65: What a coincidence
PS: Ask for recommendation votes and Sanjiang tickets, thank you!
After ordering, Meng Zitao opened his mouth and asked, "Jin Lao, is the Xiao Liu you said the stall owner just now?"
Jin Qifu smiled: "Coincidentally, it's really him." ”
As soon as his words fell, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, he took out the mobile phone and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be ......"
He said the name of the private room on his phone, but after a while, Xiao Liu followed the waiter in.
Seeing Meng Zitao in the room, Xiao Liu was also stunned, not understanding that Meng Zitao would also be here.
Next, Jin Qifu gave an introduction to the two sides, and the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting and sat down.
Xiao Liu's real name is Liu Lijin, and he asked with a wry smile: "Brother Meng, am I out of sight?"
Meng Zitao asked with some curiosity, "Why do you think so?"
Liu Lijin said: "You are also a person in the industry, and I don't think people in the industry are very good at buying those rubbings that have been 'hands-on'. ”
Meng Zitao shook his head: "That's not necessarily. ”
"But that's not all. Liu Lijin looked at Jin Qifu and said: "Look at the joy on Jin Lao's face, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, needless to say, he knows that he must have got some kind of treasure." ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head again: "Brother Meng, don't worry, if you lose your eyes, although I feel very regretful in my heart, I don't mean to complain." The rules of the industry, no matter how valuable the things are, we have no regrets. Besides, I made some money from that box of things. ”
When Meng Zitao heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise Liu Lijin's good attitude, if it was himself, he didn't know how long he would be upset.
Since Liu Lijin said so, Meng Zitao no longer covered it up and told the matter again.
Liu Lijin begged for a look at the rubbings, and sighed: "Hey, I'm still not careful, I thought there should be no treasures in these things, but I didn't expect to miss it." But at the end of the day, I still don't have that fortune, and I've missed it three times. ”
Jin Qifu said: "Xiao Liu, I didn't say you, your eyesight is not bad, but sometimes things are really sloppy, as long as you can get rid of this problem, your career will definitely be able to go to the next level." ”
"Well, I really need to fix this shortcoming. Liu Lijin nodded heavily, as the old saying goes, it's not too late to make amends, but if you continue to be so sloppy, there will definitely be times when you regret it.
At this time, Meng Zitao opened his mouth and said: "Boss Liu, don't you have a copy of "Su Wenzhong's Poetry Collection"?
"Is there a collection of poems of Su Wenzhong?" Liu Lijin looked a little puzzled.
Meng Zitao said: "There must be, otherwise I wouldn't have said it." ”
Liu Lijin smiled bitterly: "Uh, that must be my kid who threw the things I didn't tidy up into my car." By the way, since Brother Meng, you said so, is there any difference in this book?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I noticed earlier that there is Ji Xiaolan's annotation on it. ”
"Ji Xiaolan's annotation?" Liu Lijin was stunned, and then he was a little restless, he just put things in his friend's place, in case there was any mistake, it would be a big loss.
Jin Qifu said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that you can't eat this breakfast, you can take out what Mr. Zhang wants." ”
Liu Lijin hugged and apologized, and hurriedly put a box in his hand on the table, and after opening it, he saw a stack of ancient codexes inside.
The so-called codex refers to the handwritten letters, which are what modern people call "handwritten letters".
Liu Lijin carefully took it out for everyone to see, and after Meng Zitao read it, he found that these codexes were written by the famous Liu Yong and Liu Luoguo. And they are all genuine works that have been opened to the next generation.
Seeing that Meng Zitao and Jin Qifu both signaled that there was no problem, Zhang Jingqiang took Liu Lijin to the side to discuss the price, and when Zhang Jingqiang opened a check, Liu Lijin said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Before leaving, Liu Lijin also gave Meng Zitao a business card of his, saying that if Meng Zitao had any needs for rare books in the future, he could call him, and he would definitely provide help within his ability.
After Liu Lijin left, Meng Zitao saw the two of them looking at him, and immediately reacted to why, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is no special reason, that is, I feel that I have eaten meat, so let others drink the soup too." ”
In fact, the most important thing is his whim, but he will definitely not be able to say this kind of thing.
Jin Qifu said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, your ideological realm is good, everyone eats together, it's best not to eat alone, leave some residues for others, otherwise those people will starve to death, where can we get good and cheap things?"
Meng Zitao nodded with a smile and said, "Actually, I didn't think much about it at the time, besides, if the value of that thing was higher, I would definitely not be willing to give it up." ”
Jin Qinan laughed: "Of course, if it's something worth tens of thousands of yuan, don't say it's you, even I can't bear it!"
After breakfast, a few people set off for Jin Qinan.
When he arrived at the parking lot, Zhang Jingqiang saw that Meng Zitao actually bought a car, and it was a good car with hundreds of thousands of dollars, which made him a little surprised. You must know that a month or two ago, Meng Zitao was still worried about his father's medical expenses, and it has only been so long that he has bought such a good car, and the changes are not small.
Thinking of Meng Zitao's luck during this period of time, as well as the good luck he brought to himself, Zhang Jingqiang felt even more that he had to befriend Meng Zitao.
Nearly twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a villa, and then Jin Qifu walked in with everyone.
The villa covers an area of about five or six hundred square meters, with a garden full of greenery and birds, which is pleasing to the eye.
The interior decoration style is the classical Chinese style, as soon as you walk in, it gives people a sense of tranquility and elegance, which is unforgettable.
Jin Qifu took Meng Zitao and them to the living room, let everyone sit down, and asked the maid to make tea for everyone.
Jin Qifu leaned back on the sofa and said, "Rest for a while, and then I'll take everyone to see my collection." ”
Zhang Jingqiang smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do anyway." ”
Of course, Meng Zitao would not object.
The three of them chatted for a while about the antique business, and just as they were about to go to see Jin Qifu's collection, they saw a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament and glasses, who walked in with the servant.
Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man and Jin Qifu's imagination, Meng Zitao guessed whether this was Jin Qifu's son. Sure enough, through Jin Qifu's introduction, I learned that this person was his youngest son, Jin Honglang, and he also ran a foreign trade company.
After making an introduction to both parties, Jin Qifu asked his son, "Why did you think of coming over today?"
Jin Honglang pointed to the box in his hand and said, "Yesterday, a friend couldn't pay for the goods and mortgaged a reflux Xuande furnace to me, so come over and ask you to help take a look." ”
When Jin Qifu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "How much does your friend owe you?"
"More than 400,000. Jin Honglang replied.
Jin Qifu sneered: "Do you know how much the real Xuande furnace is? More than 400,000 yuan will be mortgaged to you?"
Jin Honglang smiled bitterly: "Dad, no matter how stupid I am, I also know how to check the information on the Internet." If this Xuande furnace is genuine, I will give him money. To be honest, if he hadn't been able to do it, he wouldn't have put this thing against me!"
Hearing him say this, everyone thinks that this matter is somewhat reliable.
Then, Jin Honglang took the things out of the box.
As soon as the thing came into his eyes, Zhang Jingqiang said, "Hmm, why is the color of this Xuande furnace so new?"
Meng Zitao replied: "If it is really a return from overseas, this is normal, because foreigners like to clean all the bronzes." ”
At the same time, bronze objects were treated as they were in China, and in the West, such objects had to be cleaned.
Foreigners also have their reasons for doing this, firstly, they want to restore the original state, and secondly, the patina on the bronze for a long time itself is also a kind of corrosion of the copper.
However, this principle is not recognized in China, most domestic collectors like to appreciate the rust color on the bronzes, as a standard for the aesthetics of bronzes, and domestic experts to identify the authenticity of bronzes are all based on the rust on them.
Although there are many ways to rust bronzes, some of which can even be fake, but for connoisseurs, no matter how similar the rust is, there will be different places, and the rust color of five years, ten years, one hundred years, and a thousand years is different.
Therefore, a Xuande furnace like the one in front of you, even if it is genuine, will have a certain discount in value in China because of the relationship between the cleaned.
After Meng Zitao explained, Jin Qifu nodded and said: "Xiao Meng is right, foreigners and ours have different aesthetic concepts, blindly pursuing things as they are, but everyone knows that even if they handle it well, in fact, it will damage the utensils, on the contrary, it will also destroy the natural beauty of things." I don't agree with that. ”
Jin Honglang said: "Dad, don't worry about these for now, you can see if this thing is right first." ”
"What's the hurry!"
Jin Qifu glared at his son and took the thing in his hand, but as soon as he got the thing, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he looked at it expressionlessly.
"Xiao Meng, come and take a look. ”
"Okay. ”
Meng Zitao picked up the Xuande furnace in response, this furnace folded along, arc belly, ears, without any superfluous decoration, the shape of the furnace body is regular, for the typical style of Xuande furnace.
Next, Meng Zitao carefully identified the identification method he had seen before.
First of all, the first feeling that things gave to Meng Zitao was that it had weight, which made him feel a little reliable, because the real Xuande furnace used imported red copper, after 4-12 times of refining, and then added dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver to cast, and the weight was normal.
The weight should be in line, and then look at the pulp and color, due to the relationship between cleaning, the pulp does not need to be seen, and the color is similar to the real thing......
