Chapter 167: The Bottle at the Bottom
Although Jiang Mingbao is not good at porcelain identification, some aspects of antique identification are also similar, this is a blue and white landscape figure plum vase, the pattern has obvious characteristics of the times, so once Meng Zitao explained, he reacted.
Jiang Mingbao suddenly realized: "No wonder Wu Xingxu is such a slamming person, he would agree so easily, it turns out that this is the case." Fortunately, this guy doesn't usually have the habit of carrying a lot of cash, otherwise he would definitely have missed it. ”
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao was coming, as soon as Jiang Mingbao's voice fell, Wu Xingxu hurriedly walked in, he saw the plum bottle in front of Meng Zitao, his face changed greatly, and he ran over quickly.
Before Jiang Mingbao could speak, Wu Xingxu accused: "Lao Jiang, what do you mean, didn't we already negotiate the price just now, why do you still give things to others?"
Jiang Mingbao said with a smile: "Boss Wu, I'm really sorry, my friend just called me and said that I got the wrong thing." Of course, this thing is indeed ours, or else, you can pick a random item in my store, and I will give you a 10% discount, what do you think?"
If Jiang Mingbao said this, giving steps and face, if Wu Xingxu was interested, he would definitely not say more, but unexpectedly, Wu Xingxu's face immediately became gloomy, and he said to Jiang Mingbao: "I left for a while, and your friend called you?
Jiang Mingbao saw that he was not speaking cleanly, and he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said with a smile: "Boss Wu, I can understand your feelings, if this thing is only 810000, I will sell it to you at a loss, but you want to buy a Kangxi official kiln for 5,000 yuan, this is a bit too much, right?"
"Okay! I kind of remember you!"
Wu Xingxu also understood that no matter how much he said now, it would be impossible to pick up any more leaks, so he turned around and left, but before leaving, he also glared at Meng Zitao, even if he was stupid, he knew that it must be because of Meng Zitao's reminder that Jiang Mingbao knew the value of things, so he also held a grudge against Meng Zitao.
After Wu Xingxu left, Jiang Mingbao said to Meng Zitao apologetically: "I'm really sorry, because my business still involves you." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "What does it matter, besides, if I know that this is genuine and don't tell you, how can I be embarrassed to trouble you to help." ”
Jiang Mingbao said with a smile: "Anyway, I should thank you for my friend, in case Wu Xingxu finds trouble for you, you must also inform me, this person is a little sinister and may be unscrupulous." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "And I won't stay in Shangluo for a few days, he can't follow me all the time, right?"
Jiang Mingbao thought about it for a while, and then said: "Please wait here for a while, I'll make a call to my friend." ”
"Okay. Meng Zitao nodded.
After a while, Jiang Mingbao came back after the call, thanked him again on behalf of his friend, and said that his friend was rushing over and asked Meng Zitao to wait here.
"As for Song Mingyan, you shouldn't be able to see him today. ”
"Why?" Song Mingyan was the collector Meng Zitao was looking for, if this person happened to have something to do and would have to wait for many days to come back, he couldn't wait.
Jiang Mingbao replied: "He is preparing for the collection exchange meeting, let's just go to the scene tomorrow, just to participate in the exchange meeting, you must bring an antique worth 500,000 hearts, I will prepare one for you first, how about it?"
"I'm sorry for you. Meng Zitao nodded, and then asked, "What is the main purpose of this exchange meeting?"
Jiang Mingbao said: "This exchange meeting is not about selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, of course, if you fancy a certain collection, there is no problem in buying and selling it privately." As for the purpose of Song Mingyan's organization of this exchange meeting, it is mainly for his prestige, and it is said that there will be a charity auction at the exchange meeting, and he will auction several pieces of his collection for charity. ”
Next, Jiang Mingbao introduced Song Mingyan's way of dealing with people to Meng Zitao, and in the end, Meng Zitao felt that it was not easy to achieve his goal this time, and he might return empty-handed.
Of course, it is impossible for Meng Zitao to retreat when he sees difficulties, and he has to give it a try.
The two were chatting when they saw a middle-aged man who looked a little cowering walking in from outside the door, holding a pastel amphora in his hand, which looked like he was looking at it from a distance.
"Do you accept old things here?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Sir, what do you want to sell?" Jiang Mingbao asked politely.
"It's this bottle, it's been in my house for years. The middle-aged man showed the bottle he was holding.
Jiang Mingbao felt that this porcelain was very distinctive, and with a glance, he said, "Please put things on the table." ”
"Okay. The middle-aged man put the bottle on the table.
This is a very delicate pastel amphora, the bottle body is decorated with rich and luxurious patterns, fine ideas, dense composition, and a very concave and convex picture. The ornamentation is symmetrical on the left and right, and the two-party continuous layout form contains the traditional aesthetic taste of good things in pairs. Its intricate decorative patterns and richly coloured glazes create a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
Turn it over and see that the bottom is the "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" regular script, and the bottom looks open.
Jiang Mingbao was a little puzzled, generally speaking, this type of instrument is very large, why is this particularly small, only less than 20 centimeters high. The pastel part feels hard to say, and although it doesn't open the door, I can't see the flaw for a while.
When Meng Zitao saw that Jiang Mingbao looked at him, he asked the seller for the price.
The middle-aged man said honestly: "I'm in a hurry to use money, so this bottle will be handled cheaply, you just give me 50,000." ”
Meng Zitao smiled secretly, if he arrives in the generation, it must be a big leak, but is this possible?
So he asked again: "Uncle, is this bottle really here?"
The middle-aged man said vaguely: "I must come to the generation, but I don't dare to guarantee anything else, otherwise I wouldn't have sold it so cheaply." ”
Although Jiang Mingbao is not good at porcelain identification, he can still understand what he said, if this thing is in the future, how can it not be an official kiln? Therefore, there must be a problem, but he did not see what the problem is.
Next, Jiang Mingbao sent the person away in a few words.
"This is a bottle with a bottom, and because it is limited by the small bottom, the bottle can only be made into a special miniature bottle. ”
Meng Zitao explained with a smile: "As for the flaws, it is easy to see, a considerable part of the bottom connector will leave characteristic cracks, this is because the volume of the old bottom changes very little before and after entering the kiln, and the volume of the porcelain fired after the raw tire enters the kiln has changed considerably, and often the new tire will leave cross-shaped cracks at the junction of the bottom." ”
