Chapter 54: Ringing Cylinder
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "This thing is worth about 30,000 now." ”
When Qian Dexiang heard this price, he was stunned for a moment, and said a little incredulously: "This is something handed down from the Jin Dynasty, how can it be worth so much money?"
Meng Zitao said: "Because this is a Ming vessel, it is equivalent to the current paper man and paper horse, why do ordinary people buy it back, don't you feel unlucky? And to tell you the truth, the price I said, you have to sell it to the museum to sell, and there are basically few people in the market." ”
Qian Dexiang retorted: "But Tang Sancai is also a bright weapon, why is it so valuable?"
Meng Zitao said: "Yes, but you must know that in the past, if the peasants ploughed the land, Tang Sancai thought it was unlucky, and they were generally smashed." It's just that Tang Sancai has an advantage that this thing is equivalent to historical photos of the Tang Dynasty and has high research value. ”
Qian Dexiang said unconvinced: "This thing of mine also has high research value." ”
Meng Zitao said: "Then can you attract the attention of foreigners? Is there any connoisseur speculation? None of them, do you think it will be worth it? This thing may appreciate when someone studies it in the future, but now, you can either sell it to the museum, or keep it for yourself and wait for the future appreciation." ”
Seeing Qian Dexiang's half-believing appearance, Meng Zitao secretly pouted, since he didn't believe it, he didn't bother to say it anymore, anyway, he wasn't going to accept this thing.
"Brother Qian, let's take a look at something else, what other good things do you have?"
"Is this really worthless?"
Qian Dexiang saw that Meng Zitao really didn't have any idea of acquisition, so he couldn't help muttering in his heart, but he still didn't give up, thinking that he would go to the antique street to have a look.
Then, he pointed to the ringing cylinder next to him with some excitement and said: "This is a good thing, Jiaqing Qinghua, and it is also a ringing cylinder, filled with water, and it will sound when rubbed by hand, do you want me to try it for you?"
When Meng Zitao saw the blue and white jar next to him, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
The ringing cylinder is actually a toy, in the past, the rich lady could not go out, and unlike now there is a computer to play and TV to watch, lonely to rub the jade hand "ringing cylinder", listen to the sound to relieve loneliness.
The secret of making the "ringing cylinder" sound is to wash your hands with soap first (don't leave a little oil on your hands), then connect half a tank of water in the tank, dip your hands in the water in the tank, and then rub the edge of the tank, the seemingly ordinary water tank can make a very loud buzzing sound, if you sit on the edge of the tank, you will feel that the sound is loud and deafening, and it is estimated that it can be transmitted dozens of meters away.
You have to say that if it is really Jiaqing's ringing cylinder, it is also valuable, but this is obviously a fake thing, and I don't know how Qian Dexiang thought of treating it as a treasure.
Meng Zitao waved his hand and said, "No need, you better put this thing at home to relieve your boredom." ”
As soon as he heard this, Qian Dexiang was a little dumbfounded: "You mean this thing is fake? How is this possible, the store obviously told me that it was a product at a glance." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and asked, "Tell me, what did the seller tell you at that time?" ”
"Okay......" Qian Dexiang hurriedly told him what had happened, and what made Meng Zitao a little speechless was that this ring cylinder was actually bought from Xue Wenguang.
A month ago, Qian Dexiang and his friends went to play in the antique street, and stopped and stopped along the way to Xue Wenguang's shop.
Xue Wenguang received the two of them very warmly, and after chatting for a while, Qian Dexiang asked if there were any good things here, and Xue Wenguang took the two of them to the back room mysteriously, pointed to a blue and white jar in the room and introduced it, and said that it was a glance.
Qian Dexiang heard that this thing was a ringing cylinder, and he was pleasantly surprised, but he heard that someone bought a ringing cylinder for 2,000 yuan, and finally sold it for 300,000 yuan.
Qian Dexiang thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, thinking that since this thing is called a ringing cylinder, it must be sounded, and if it doesn't sound, it must be fake.
So, he said to Xue Wenguang: "Boss, since it's a ringing cylinder, you have to give it a try, please fill it with water, if there is no sound, pull it down." It's really ringing, so let's discuss it again. ”
Xue Wenguang said okay, he filled half a jar of water, then washed his hands and dipped them in water, and gently rubbed them on the edge of the tank.
Qian Dexiang was a little stupid at the time, he didn't expect that there would be such a treasure, but he was afraid that Xue Wenguang would fake, so he said: "Shopkeeper, let me try, okay?"
Xue Wenguang laughed and said, "Why not, if you don't try, I have to let you try." ”
After speaking, he carefully explained the steps to Qian Dexiang again.
After hearing this, Qian Dexiang excitedly stretched out his hands, imitating Xue Wenguang's appearance just now, and gently rubbed the edge of the cylinder with the palms of both hands a few times, just like just now, the sound from the cylinder became louder and louder, and as the speed of his hands increased, the sound became louder and louder.
Listening to the sound of the ringing cylinder, Qian Dexiang was very happy, I used to hear people say that many people encounter the ringing cylinder is not sound, all are dumb cylinders, this time he met the real, no matter what, you must buy it.
So, he asked Xue Wenguang how much this thing was, Xue Wenguang told him 150,000, and in the end, the two cut the price for half a day, until it was 80,000.
After buying it, the friend who followed it said that 80,000 yuan was worth it, which was simply a big leak, which made him overjoyed, thinking that he had picked up a big bargain.
Unexpectedly, now that Meng Zitao actually said that this thing was a fake, his first thought was that he didn't believe it, and felt that Meng Zitao must have lied to him.
After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Meng Zitao felt a little happy in his heart, but there was one thing he felt very strange and asked: "I said Brother Qian, the money for this ringing cylinder can't be given to you by Uncle Qian, right?"
"What you said, I can't make money by picking up leaks?" Qian Dexiang said angrily: "Besides, do you think my parents can give me so much money?"
When Meng Zitao heard that this was the result, he was speechless, he didn't expect that when Qian Dexiang was in a daze, he would actually pick up the leak, what kind of luck is this?
But after thinking about it again, he understood a little, it is likely that Qian Dexiang bought a bunch of fakes because of the money he made this time, and then came to a circle like last time, and was stimulated, so that he got better.
Although he didn't quite believe in Meng Zitao's judgment in his heart, Qian Dexiang still wanted to hear what Meng Zitao said: "I said Xiao Tao, since you said that this is a fake, then there must be a reason, right?"
"Do you still need a reason for this? It's just a fake. ”
Meng Zitao sneered, but still explained to Qian Dexiang.
The more Qian Dexiang listened, the darker his face became, and finally said angrily: "This profiteer, I must return the things!"
Meng Zitao persuaded: "Even if you go to Xingshi to ask for sin, he will not return the money to you." ”
Qian Dexiang gritted his teeth and said: "Why, he clearly told me before, this thing is a one-glance product, I paid for it, can he still not admit it?"
Meng Zitao said: "Yes, it's because he said so, so you can't do anything about him." ”
"Why?" Qian Dexiang was stunned.
Meng Zitao said: "At a glance, you can see what is going on at a glance." It can be true at a glance or false at a glance, the interpretation is in his hands, and it is no problem for him to say whatever he wants. ”
Qian Dexiang was dumbfounded: "Then why didn't he tell me?"
"Isn't that? He told you you could still make money?"
Meng Zitao complained in his heart, and then said: "He can completely say that what he can see at a glance, he doesn't need to tell you at all?"
Qian Dexiang was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "I don't care, since this thing is fake, then he has to pay me money!"
Meng Zitao felt a little helpless in his heart, if it was someone else, he would definitely go with him, but Qian Dexiang's father was his father's old friend after all, so he had to take care of it, otherwise Qian Dexiang might not know how to suffer.
So, he pointed to the rattle and said, "What is this?"
Although Qian Dexiang didn't understand why Meng Zitao asked, he still said honestly: "Ringing cylinder." ”
Meng Zitao said: "That's right, if the cylinder doesn't ring, you can go to him, and he will pay you money." ”
Qian Dexiang said: "The sound is ringing, but it is fake." ”
Meng Zitao said: "This cylinder is not fake. ”
Qian Dexiang said: "But this is not Jiaqing!"
Meng Zitao asked: "Did he tell you for sure that this was done during Jiaqing?"
Qian Dexiang tried to recall for a while: "It seems to be said." ”
Meng Zitao sneered: "Hey, I've been dealing with Xue Wenguang for more than two years, who is he, I don't know?
Qian Dexiang was silent for a while: "Then what should I do?"
"Cold salad, just pay the tuition. ”
Looking at Qian Dexiang's dejected expression, Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, in fact, there was one more thing he didn't say just now, if he guessed correctly, this matter was probably set up against him, his friend Bacheng was asked by Xue Wenguang, otherwise, with Xue Wenguang's mind, he would definitely not be able to enter such a fake thing.
However, Meng Zitao doesn't plan to say this kind of thing, otherwise, Qian Dexiang will definitely have to settle accounts, but the other party is a bastard, how can Qian Dexiang not suffer a loss at that time?
In the final analysis, Qian Dexiang's family is also an ordinary family, and because of Qian Dexiang's relationship, the family's money is already a little stretched, but he can't be stimulated anymore, otherwise, he really doesn't know what will happen to Qian Dexiang's parents.
Fortunately, Qian Dexiang is now in normal spirits and listened to Meng Zitao's words, but because of the impact of this incident, he seemed a little depressed, so he let Meng Zitao look at the collection by himself.
