The matter of the old lady was temporarily resolved in such an unexpected way, and Meng Zitao couldn't help but say "The world is impermanent". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Next, Meng Zitao dealt with the work that had been piled up some time ago, and it took two full days to finish it.
On Wednesday, Meng Zitao came to the antique shop, drank tea and chatted with Hu Yuanliang, and tested Zhu Xinyue's learning progress, and on the whole, he was quite satisfied.
Meng Zitao was drinking tea, and an old man under sixty and personable came in from outside the door. As soon as the old man came in, he saw Meng Zitao there, and a smile appeared on his face: "Shopkeeper Meng, you are really a dragon who can't see the end of the dragon, and I finally met you in the store again." ”
Meng Zitao got up and said hello to the old man, invited the other party to take a seat, and said with a smile: "No way, in order to support the family, I can only run around, by the way, don't you always travel to Shudu? Why did you come back so soon." ”
"Oh, after such a treasure, how can I still have the heart to stay in Shudu. The old man put the box he was carrying on the table, opened it, and took out its contents.
Meng Zitao saw that this was a blue and white dragon pattern entwined branch folding plate, and said with some surprise: "This folding edge plate is very similar to the original one." ”
The old man said a little proudly: "But it's not, it's because I dare to do it, you don't know, there are other people who fancy it at that time, if I don't start first, the baby is estimated to be missed by me again." ”
The old man's surname is Gongye, his single name is Chen, and the acquaintance between him and Meng Zitao stems from a piece of seeing and picking up leaks and encounters.
In other words, Gongyechen was originally a middle-level cadre in a state-owned enterprise, but he retired from illness because of physical problems.
Gongye Chen is the kind of person who can't sit still at home, and when he retires from illness, he goes to the flower and bird market every day, so he also comes into contact with the antique industry.
There are not many antique shops in the flower and bird market, only a few, and there are no good goods, so Gongye Chen went to the antique market, and was immediately attracted by the colorful porcelain in the market.
Even a few years ago, Gong Yechen opened an antique shop because of his interest, but because he was not a business material, and he was too tired to receive goods from all over the world, his body couldn't stand it, and the antique shop was finally closed, but fortunately, he didn't lose money.
However, this experience has also brought him a lot of gains, not to mention that his eyesight in porcelain has improved a lot, and he is also a little famous in the antique circle of Lingshi.
Things have to go back to last year, one day in the antique street Sunday market, Gongye Chen, as usual, got up early to go to the antique street to Taobao, and after shopping for a while, he noticed a piece of blue and white porcelain.
The owner of this blue and white porcelain is a "guerrilla", and the accent is from a certain city in the southwest, and the blue and white plate that Gong Yechen noticed does not know where the stall owner got it. Of course, Gong Yechen didn't want to care about this, he had already been sucked by this blue and white plate.
The production of this blue and white plate is very exquisite, the dragon pattern painted in the middle of the plate, the lotus pattern is painted around the plate, the overall painting is orderly, complex and delicate, without losing the exquisite style. The bottom book "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" paragraph.
After Gong Yechen looked at it carefully, he was both pleased and a little puzzled, because the blue and white of this blue and white plate was unstable and fainted. There is nothing wrong with this, because the color of blue and white porcelain in the Qianlong period was indeed this characteristic in the early years, and then it gradually formed a bright blue tone, with stable color and clear decoration.
In the late period, the blue and white color of Qianlong was slightly gray, and since then, the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty has begun to be inferior from generation to generation.
Although the color of this blue and white plate is also in line with the characteristics of the real product, however, it is not easy to harvest something that is not worth millions at a stall, and it is normal for Gong Yechen to hesitate.
In addition, it was cloudy and morning, and the light was not good, which made it even more difficult for Gongye Chen to judge.
After hesitating for a moment, Gong Yechen still asked the price, but the stall owner offered the price of eight thousand.
Eight thousand yuan, not too much, too little, and it's a morning market, who will bring so much money? Although Gong Yechen brought a little more today, he couldn't take out so much at once.
The money is not enough, not to find a way to borrow, then you can only give up, Gongye Chen felt that the price was too expensive, and he was afraid of buying the wrong one, so he was even more hesitant.
After that, Gongye Chen bargained with the stall owner, and in the end, the stall owner bit 6,000 to death and refused to let go. In fact, it is because the stall owner is not sure whether this thing is true or false, and of course, what he thinks is true refers to the later official imitation official.
The price of 6,000 is still higher than Gongyechen's bottom line, so he had to give up in the end.
At this time, Meng Zitao, who had been waiting next to him for a while, immediately picked up the blue and white plate and talked to the stall owner, and the result was needless to say.
In fact, when Gong Yechen was bargaining with Meng Zitao, he already faintly regretted it, and finally learned who Meng Zitao was from his friend, and his intestines were even more regretful.
This blue and white plate, in the end, was auctioned off by a buyer at a price of 1.15 million at Meng Zitao's auction, and Gong Yechen was also present at the time, so he could only use a wry smile to ease the regret in his heart.
In fact, in the antique world, I missed a certain treasure, in the final analysis, it is still not enough eyesight, as the old saying goes, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
However, it is precisely because of this blue and white plate that Gongyechen had contact with Meng Zitao, and then he often went to Meng Zitao's antique shop. The two of them talked about it, and they came and went, and the two became New Year's friends.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and Gong Yechen actually brought over a blue and white disc that was similar to the original, and Meng Zitao was still a little surprised.
Gongzhichen smiled: "I don't think it should be wrong, but I still have some bottom in my heart, so I can only ask you, the great god, to help take a look." ”
"Don't call me a god, I can't stand it. ”
Meng Zitao hurriedly waved his hand, and then picked up the Qinghua folding plate in front of him, and after a little look, he knew that Gong Yechen was out of sight this time.
Seeing that Meng Zitao's face had not changed, Gong Yechen felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "Shopkeeper Meng, is there something wrong with things?"
"We are old friends, I will tell you the truth, this blue and white folding plate is really good, but judging from the characteristics it shows, it should be a porcelain imitation after the Guangxu period. ”
Meng Zitao explained: "Guangxu's imitation of Qianlong's porcelain is still relatively easy to distinguish, because the Qianlong Emperor's economy was prosperous, and he liked heavy color, bright colors, and delicate brushwork, while Emperor Guangxu's economy declined, and the color would also appear light, although the Gongbi was equally delicate, but there were already signs of simplification." ”
"Of course, this thing is still very good, remarkable, I think it is not an exaggeration to call it the ultimate of Guangxu imitation Qianlong, whether it is market value or collection value, it is still good, you can put it for a period of time and then shoot. ”
After a while, Gong Yechen let out a long sigh: "Hey, it's still a mountain and a mountain high, I already feel that I'm quite careful, but I didn't expect it to be on the road." ”
Meng Zitao couldn't help asking, "You can't have bought it for millions, right?"
Gong Yechen shook his head: "That's not it, but it also cost 200,000." ”
Meng Zitao said: "200,000 yuan is a little expensive, but it is not much worse, sooner or later it will still be able to return to its original value." ”
"That's all there is to it. Gong Yechen was a little depressed, but fortunately he didn't buy a fake, otherwise he wouldn't be just depressed.
Seeing this, Meng Zitao changed the topic and deliberately said some happy things.
Gong Yechen is an old man, and for him, he can't say that he often encounters it, but he can already look at it with a normal heart, and after a while, he adjusted his mentality. Antiques, as long as you don't buy fakes, there will always be a day when the capital will be saved.
After chatting for a while, Gong Yechen slapped his forehead: "By the way, when I was in Shudu before, I saw some porcelain pieces, and I thought it was very interesting and bought them, you can see what you find." ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of porcelain wrapped in paper from his pocket: "This porcelain piece is one of them, you see, the glaze, the blue and white hair color, and the painting workmanship are all characteristics of the real thing, even the pulp I don't think there is any problem, but this porcelain is obviously modern, what do you say is going on?" )
