It may be too much to say that Fan Ding likes money like his life, but judging from his eye-catching experience and You Xiaofu's statement that he is more difficult to negotiate, Fan Dingxi attaches great importance to money, which is certain.
Of course, whether Fan Ding likes money or not has nothing to do with Meng Zitao, Meng Zitao has special abilities, as long as things meet his standards, they can buy them.
Having said that, Meng Zitao is a businessman, of course, he still hopes that the less money he will give, the better, and now that he knows Fan Dingxi's character, he also has a corresponding strategy in his heart.
At this time, Fan Dingxi pointed to the things on a cabinet in front of him and said, "These are all things that I have eyed, and I put them here as a warning." ”
Meng Zitao looked up and found that there were fifty or sixty things on the cabinet, except for calligraphy and painting, several major items of antiques were touched.
"Cousin, you're spectacular. You Xiaofu was a little speechless, and said in his heart: "There are so many things, how much money do you have to waste." ”
Fan Dingxi touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Actually, this is just a part of what I picked out, and I have already thrown away the rest that is worthless." ”
Hearing this, You Xiaofu was even more speechless.
Meng Zitao said, "Mr. Fan, can I take a look?"
Fan Dingxi pointed to the small colorful jar in the middle and said, "Of course you can, to be honest, I still want to ask you about the Wanli five-color piece I saw before." ”
Meng Zitao stepped forward to take a look, and found that in his eyes, this thing was just a relatively rough spliced porcelain, that is, something that was spliced together using some porcelain fragments.
This kind of thing, just fool the newcomers who have just entered the industry, Fan Dingxi has been in this industry for nearly three years, and he is still eyeing this kind of thing, and I don't know how he has come over in the past few years.
Seeing Fan Dingxi looking at him expectantly, Meng Zitao explained the problem euphemistically.
You Xiaofu is not as tactful as Meng Zitao, after listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, he said bluntly: "I said cousin, if you listen to me and learn the basics well, how can there be today's things?"
Fan Dingxi shook his head and sighed: "Indeed, I knew that this was the case, why bother in the first place, but now I have been bitten by a snake for ten years, and I am afraid of the well rope for ten years, and it is too late to learn." ”
You Xiaofu smiled heartlessly: "It's okay to save my sister-in-law from worrying about you all day long." ”
It's very hard to make a shovel, and Fan Dingxi is running around on a motorcycle, so his family will definitely be worried about safety, so You Xiaofu said this.
Fan Dingxi smiled: "Everyone wants a stable life, and the key is to have money." ”
While the brothers were talking, Meng Zitao took a general look at the contents of the cabinet. There are all kinds of methods of falsification on these things, and even some of the methods he has seen in books are also here, which makes him feel like an eye-opener.
If you get to know all these fakes, you can basically be called half an expert in making fakes, and you will definitely be able to reduce the probability of eye-catching. However, Fan Dingxi still hit a novice eye, not surprisingly, these things should indeed be as he said, just as a warning, and he hasn't studied much at all.
Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, he no longer had any hope for Fan Dingxi's eyesight, since this was the case, he would also have no expectations for the quality of Fan Dingxi's collections.
But since you've come here, you have to take a look, otherwise, as I said before, if you don't seize the opportunity, what else do you want to pick up?
Although he was prepared, after these things were really started, Meng Zitao knew that it was even more miserable than he imagined, and he looked at twenty or thirty things in a row, but none of them were in his eyes.
However, most of the things here are old, and there are only a small number of fakes, and perhaps, Fan Dingxi really has the ability to distinguish between the old and the new as You Xiaofu said.
Of course, it's also possible that something here has already been pointed out by someone.
The reason why Meng Zitao thought so was because he found that many things on the shelves were more expensive than those that were placed on the ground at random. With Fan Dingxi's eyesight, it is obviously impossible to do this.
Anyway, since you are here, even if the result is not very good, you must read it, and in terms of Fan Dingxi's previous performance towards Jiang Lexian and others, there must still be good things here.
Because many things were not very good, Meng Zitao didn't even bother to use the ability, and the speed was relatively fast, and after a while, he looked at half of the room's things. He also found a few unsatisfactory items, and if he still didn't find a satisfactory one in the end, he could only make up the number of these items, so as not to run in vain.
Meng Zitao moved a little, and then continued to look, as for the two cousins Fan Dingxi and You Xiaofu, they were talking quietly at the door.
Fan Dingxi asked in a low voice: "I said Xiaofu, how is the eyesight of this shopkeeper Meng?"
You Xiaofu shook his head slightly: "He was introduced by an eldest brother I know, and I really don't know much about his eyesight." ”
"Didn't you ask that big brother?" Fan Dingxi asked again.
You Xiaofu said: "I don't mess with your business, why do you have nothing to inquire about?"
Fan Dingxi smiled and arched his hand: "Xiaofu, just tell me what you know, this is related to your brother's money." ”
When You Xiaofu heard this, he was a little dissatisfied: "Cousin, what do you mean by this, do you think I am helping outsiders?"
Fan Dingxi smiled and said, "Xiaofu, you misunderstood, how could I have such an idea?"
"It's strange to believe you!" You Xiaofu sneered secretly, after all, he was a relative, originally he did have the idea of helping Fan Dingxi, but now that Fan Dingxi said this, he abandoned this idea, but he definitely couldn't help Meng Zitao to pit his cousin.
You Xiaofu thought about it, sighed in his heart, and said: "Actually, you just need to think about it, since Shopkeeper Meng can open an antique shop, and the shopkeeper Jiang just now is so enthusiastic, can't it explain the problem?"
Fan Dingxi's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "It's true, Xiaofu, you really helped me a lot." ”
"Can you speak quietly? You Xiaofu was a little speechless, and said in his heart: "This time the labor fee will definitely be deducted......
While the brothers were talking, Meng Zitao made rapid progress, and it didn't take long for him to see half of it, and at this time, he picked up a lump of dirt, and suddenly had a feeling of brightness in his eyes.
Why is it called a lump of soil, because most of its surface is wrapped in soil, leaving only a small part of the edge of the mouth, and the original appearance can be roughly seen.
Some friends may think it's strange, it's all like this, why doesn't Fan Dingxi clean it up?
Fan Dingxi's thoughts, Meng Zitao can guess a thing or two, first of all, the production of Tuqin is caused by the immersion of artifacts into the soil, which is a trace of natural formation. For the current domestic collectors, the treatment of Tuqin and patina is the same as the preservation of natural features.
In addition, there are two types of Tuqin, one is the Qin on the surface of the vessel, and the other is the Qin under the glaze that goes straight into the fetal bone.
The former is generally a fine mud attached to the surface, which can be removed with care, but it must be done so as not to hurt the glaze, otherwise it will reduce the value of the utensils.
The latter, since it has penetrated into the porcelain, cannot be cleaned.
The reason why Fan Dingxi didn't wash it was probably because he was worried that the things would not be worth much after washing, and in addition, he probably didn't know how to wash them, and he was worried that they would be damaged.
is the same as Meng Zitao guessed, however, in addition to these two reasons, Fan Dingxi feels that things are wrapped in Tuqin like this, which can produce a sense of mystery, and maybe there are buyers who think that this is a treasure, so they sell it at a high price.
However, this thing that Fan Dingxi didn't care about made Meng Zitao's eyes shine, because he found that the place exposed under the edge of the mouth was a touch of red, and it looked like it was bright red, and there didn't seem to be some fainting around it, if it was true, then this was undoubtedly a masterpiece of red in glaze.
Judging from the shape of this lump, it should be a goblet, and it doesn't look like the shape of the Qing Dynasty in the style of a goblet, and there is so much soil accumulated on the surface, it must not have been formed in a short period of time underground.
Taken together, Meng Zitao has reason to believe that this is a glazed red goblet from the Ming Dynasty or even earlier.
If it is a product of the Yuan Dynasty, it is terrible, because the glaze red in the Yuan Dynasty has just been invented, due to the lack of experience of craftsmen, coupled with the difficulty of refining the glaze red porcelain, the slightest deviation often can not achieve the expected touch of bright red. Brightly colored "red in the glaze" is a rare sight.
Therefore, the red color in the glaze of the Yuan Dynasty is more light red, black red, gray and black, and there are characteristics of halo.
Thinking of this, Meng Zitao laughed in his heart, because if you look at the characteristics of the halo, it is unlikely that this goblet is from the Yuan Dynasty. But even if it is not made in the Yuan Dynasty, the glaze red boutique of the Ming Dynasty is also commendable.
With this discovery, Meng Zitao couldn't help but be overjoyed, due to the limited time and the fact that there were too many Tuqin to be unfavorable for observation, so Meng Zitao simply used the ability, however, the result given by the ability made him almost lose his mind.
Finally came back to his senses, Meng Zitao suppressed the excitement and reluctance in his heart, and pretended not to care and put the goblet back in its original place.
After that, Meng Zitao quickly looked at the rest of the things a little absent-mindedly, but fortunately, with the help of his ability, he was not afraid of taking the treasure.
Because Meng Zitao's previous speed was about the same as the current one, Fan Dingxi didn't notice Meng Zitao's abnormality, and when Meng Zitao put down the last thing, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
Fan Dingxi smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper Meng, I wonder if I have any objects you like?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "Of course." ”
As he spoke, he pointed out the few things he had just chosen and chosen.
