Listening to Meng Zitao's eloquent talk, describing the characteristics of the purple clay pot on the table, Sanguan smiled, nodded yes, and his heart blossomed.

He originally thought that this pot was worth about four or five hundred thousand, but he didn't expect Meng Zitao to give a high price of five hundred and sixty thousand, and not only this purple clay pot, but also the price of the other two things was much higher than his psychological expectations.

"It's still this kind of half-understood hairy guy who is easy to deceive, it's like a mallet. ”

Meng Zitao saw the smile on the corner of Sanguan's mouth, and said in his heart: "Aren't you afraid that you won't take the bait?"

The reason why Meng Zitao gave a high price was also his strategy, in order to let Sanguan take out the high imitation porcelain, if Sanguan was gone, then he would not lose much, so he would be regarded as a news fee.

However, Meng Zitao didn't expect that this legendary purple clay pot would appear, and all the efforts were worth it.

Meng Zitao looked at the purple clay pot, his heart was hot, and then he looked at the three levels that were being proud, and said with a secret smile: "It seems that this guy's eyesight is not very good, such excellent workmanship, he actually thinks it is an imitation? Gong Chun knows, maybe he will crawl out of the ground." ”

He smiled and asked, "I wonder if my answer is satisfactory?"

"Smack!"

Sanguan applauded: "It's really terrifying, I think I don't have any impression of antiques at your age." ”

Meng Zitao was modest, and his face showed a hint of smugness.

Huo Deqiu said with a smile: "Sanguan, this time you have to take a heavyweight treasure out!"

Sanguan laughed: "Mr. Huo, don't worry, the rules are set by me, and there will definitely be no reason to destroy it myself, but I have to confirm first, how high the price Lu Shao can offer." ”

"As long as it doesn't exceed five million, you can take it!" Of course, Meng Zitao can give a higher price, such as one or two million, but his age is here, and he is not pretending to be a particularly rich second generation, five million is already enough.

Sanguan's heartbeat began to speed up when he heard this, but it was quite normal on the surface, and he got up and went to the room to get the collection again.

This time, the time spent on the three levels was three or four times that of just now, and a large weapon with a height of fifty centimeters was brought in.

Huo Deqiu couldn't help but stand up when he saw the porcelain that Sanguan had brought over: "I said Sanguan, you are really not interesting, and you quietly got such a beautiful Baoyue bottle!"

The shape of the Baoyue bottle is generally an oblate and round abdomen, with a convex center on both sides of the abdomen, an oval circled foot, and a slightly outward end of the foot. If the bottle is round and full moon, it is called "Baoyue bottle" or "moon bottle". The shape of this vessel is derived from metal or glass vessels in the Arabian region, and the imitation of such vessels during the Yongle period is believed to have been necessary for the tributary trade.

Sanguan said with a smile: "Mr. Huo, you can misunderstand me, this thing is actually what I just got, and it hasn't been hot in my hand, if it weren't for Lu Shao coming over, I would definitely be reluctant to take it out." ”

"I'm sorry about that. Meng Zitao smiled and arched his hand at Sanguan, secretly using his ability.

"Hey, let's hit it off at first sight, let's be friends. ”

Sanguan smiled and waved his hand, and then said, "Lu Shao, you appreciate it first, and I won't be verbose." ”

Meng Zitao nodded and looked towards the moon bottle.

Generally speaking, the artifacts of the Qianlong period are large in quantity and quality, novel in shape, fine fetal bones, white in glaze, gorgeous in ornamentation, and have the characteristics of the dynasty with antique atmosphere and fine workmanship. This moon-hugging vase shows such characteristics, the bottle is full of pastel-painted entwined flowers, and the mouth edge and foot are decorated with a deformed Ruyi cloud head pattern. On the shoulder, a pair of dragons are full of rouge water, bright as clouds, and the beauty of the view is beautiful.

After a while, Meng Zitao looked a little excited and admired: "This bottle is 'full of work' decoration, the painting is fine, the layout is reasonable, the decoration is complex but not chaotic, the color is elegant and pleasant, giving people a soft and charming feeling, it is the Qianlong official kiln porcelain, a rare fine work, I can only win people's love!"

Sanxian completely relaxed, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beauties, to be honest, I am a businessman, just a transit station, and things must be transferred to others when they reach my hands, just sooner or later." It is my job to find a suitable owner for the collection, and for this moon bottle, Lu Shao should be the best destination. ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Meng Zitao also pretended to be happy, and said with a smile: "Then I will be disrespectful, I just don't know the price......

Sanguan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Lu Shao, I will take as much as you give." ”

Huo Deqiu said with a smile: "Sanguan, isn't it difficult for you to be a strong man? It's not too early, hurry up and give a real price." ”

Sanguan smiled: "Okay, how about four and a half million?"

Meng Zitao didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed: "Okay, then so be it, I don't know whether to write a check or transfer money." ”

"I have a credit card machine here. Sanguan got up and took a portable credit card machine and handed it to Meng Zitao, he was finally about to eat meat, but he couldn't run away.

After paying the money, because of the time, everyone chatted briefly, and Meng Zitao and Huo Deqiu said goodbye.

After going downstairs, the two of them got into the car with their things, and Huo Deqiu couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher Meng, was there a problem with any porcelain just now?"

"You wait a minute. ”

Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone and sent a text message, then asked with a smile: "Why do you think so?"

Huo Deqiu said: "Things are the most expensive, and I think it's a little newer, even if there are some porcelain at the bottom of the box in the Forbidden City, there will always be some changes." ”

Meng Zitao said while driving the car: "That's right, this porcelain hasn't even been cleaned, and it shouldn't be long before it comes out." But in addition, all aspects are very exquisite, if after a while, I believe that it will be able to do it with the real. ”

While speaking, Meng Zitao thought of one thing, the other party was in a hurry to get the goods out of his hand, except for what happened, that is, the funds on hand were not enough, don't look at the production of high melamine is very profitable, but it also costs money to research, just like Xiao Likai, if it is not for Meng Zitao's investment, how can there be so much money to study.

Whatever the reason, they will definitely ship a lot of goods during this time, and in order to avoid causing harm to the antique market, it is necessary to seize the background as soon as possible.

Although Huo Deqiu was prepared, his heart was still very shocked, if it weren't for Meng Zitao's reminder, even if the Moon Bottle was newer, he might not think about Gao Fang.

"In that case, why did you buy it? Do you think Sanguan has something to do with the production of high melamine?"

Meng Zitao said: "At least know it, the specific investigation will be carried out, and in addition, I hope you can keep this matter secret for the time being." ”

"Well, I'll keep my mouth shut. Huo Deqiu solemnly agreed, in addition, he also admired Meng Zitao, and in order to investigate, he was willing to spend nearly seven million real money.

At this time, Huo Deqiu thought of something: "Teacher Meng, I think there is something wrong with that purple clay pot. ”

Meng Zitao glanced back at him and said with a smile: "Why do you think something is wrong?"

"I think it works pretty well. ”

Huo Deqiu explained: "I have also studied the spring pot before, and there are sixteen characteristics of the spring pot, and I can find a shadow on the pot for several of them. ”

"You say. Meng Zitao smiled.

"For example, the craftsmanship of the spring pot is exquisitely crafted, which is opposed to the style beauty of simplicity, nature, and wilderness, which is the most basic feature of the spring pot. Secondly, it is innocent, in the form of the pot, it is outstanding in the spring series of pots, such as naughty children, there are superb little monkeys, beetles struggling to climb up, and the posture is cute. ”

Huo Deqiu said eloquently: "There is also a spring pot in the shape, will give people a sense of roundness and natural beauty, as if natural, the whole series of pots run through the laws of nature, no matter from the shape of the structure, spout, handle collocation, all with the help of natural image." ”

"In addition, the works of Fu Chun pursue the beauty of the strange, the beauty of the incomplete, the beauty of nature, everywhere reasonable, always unexpected, strange in the rare, love in nature, strange and normal things are different, it is not the ordinary, normal things or the reproduction of habits, but the fiction of 're-creation'...... And these are reflected in your purple clay pot. ”

After listening to Huo Deqiu's explanation, Meng Zitao praised: "Mr. Huo, I didn't expect you to have such a thorough understanding of the characteristics of the spring pot. ”

Huo Deqiu smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was very obsessed with the spring pot at the beginning, and I also wanted to be able to pick up the leak on the stall, in order to avoid eyesight, for a while, I learned a lot of appreciation knowledge for the spring pot, but in the end I still didn't meet a real spring pot, in the end, it was luck!"

Meng Zitao smiled, and then turned back to the topic just now: "Mr. Huo, listen to you, do you think it is a real spring offering pot?"

Huo Deqiu said: "I have this idea, but what should be made for spring is a tree gall pot, and I have never heard of this kind of pot." ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly and said, "I'll tell you a story." ”

At the beginning, Gong Chun relied on his invention of the spring pot and exquisite craftsmanship, which was welcomed by people who knew it, and sold well from far and near, and Gong Chun's name also spread with the footprints of the spring pot.

The news reached the ears of a prefect, and the greedy prefect specially invited Gong Chun to make pots. Gong Chun never flattered the powerful, who knew that after meeting the prefect this time, he made an exception and promised, and it took him three months to carefully make a unique "lotus toad pot".

This pot is made of curled lotus leaves as the body, with a lotus pod as the lid, and what is even more peculiar is that there is a toad with a big mouth standing on the top of the lid. The workmanship is meticulous, lifelike, the lotus leaf, the toad is like the real thing, the lotus heart shines brightly, and it has become another masterpiece of ceramic craftsmanship.

The prefect got this teapot, and he was very happy and couldn't put it down. After sending Gong Chun away, he put on a big wine feast and invited dignitaries all over the place. After three rounds of drinking, the prefect took out the lotus toad pot and invited the guests to appreciate it, which won bursts of admiration.

Just when the prefect was satisfied and intoxicated, a Shaoxing master, who was usually tricky and eccentric, whispered to the prefect's ear: "My lord, this pot is good, but the toad is too similar...... Too much like ......"

The prefect was impatient and asked loudly, "What? Don't snort, speak loudly." ”

Without waiting for Master Shaoxing to speak, the prefect's good son rushed to the side and said, "It's too much like my old man, isn't it?"

The guests couldn't help but laugh out loud with this laugh. Because the prefect's dignity is too much like the toad who just wants to eat swan meat. In fact, everyone has already seen that it is just because of the prefect's affection, and they know each other.

The prefect was annoyed and angry, and personally led people to arrest Gong Chun, and by the way, he also wanted to snatch the long-coveted spring pot, but unfortunately it was too late, and Gong Chun's house was already empty.

Listening to the story told by Meng Zitao, Huo Deqiu laughed, half loudly, he said: "This seems to be a folk legend, right?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Although it is a folk tale, some folk tales are not imaginary out of thin air, maybe they are made up with something to satirize someone, as long as they can be seated in the right place, they will achieve their goal." ”

"You're right. Huo Deqiu nodded, it is normal to have something first and then a story, as for why Gong Chun made such a unique pot, then he can only ask himself.

The most important thing is that Meng Zitao thinks it is genuine, Huo Deqiu thinks that it should not be wrong, thinking about it, he feels that his eyes are hot, how good it would be if he bought it himself. It's just that it didn't take long for him to sigh secretly, just like he said just now, in the final analysis, it was a matter of luck, and it was impossible for him to spend 560,000 yuan to buy this pot......

Early the next morning, Meng Zitao was about to go to the police station after breakfast, because Fang Fuxin was finally caught, according to the investigation, he should be the murderer who killed the old fox, but he didn't admit it, and now it is in a stalemate.

As soon as he walked to the door of the hotel, he received a call from Qian Siling, saying that he was about to arrive at the door of the hotel.

A moment later, Meng Zitao saw the worried Qian Siling, and Meng Zitao took him to the tea room to sit and listen to her by the way.

"Brother-in-law, I think the treasure appreciation program may not be able to go on. Qian Siling smiled bitterly.

Meng Zitao felt a little strange: "Didn't you say that the ratings are rising very quickly, why can't it be done again?"

Qian Siling took a sip of tea: "Do you know why we have to add another treasure appreciation link?"

Meng Zitao shook her head, and she continued: "Actually, the reason is very simple, because you are a treasure hunter who is too good, we later found two experts, and after trying to shoot, we found that there is no way to compare with you." But you can't stay on our show permanently, so you can only use this old-fashioned but popular identification link with the audience. ”

Meng Zitao said: "I can't help this, after all, I have a lot of things to deal with, but as long as the appraisal program has suitable materials, not to mention that it can become popular, at least the ratings should still be guaranteed, right?"
