Hearing that his wife was furious, the professor shook his head helplessly, and suddenly the mobile phone rang, and when he looked at the call, he quickly connected it, and after the call, he said, "Your kid is okay today, right? ”

"Professor, I'm fine, what's the matter?

Tang Hao said curiously.

"Hehe, a good thing to make you rich, come with me. ”

The professor said.

"What else are you selling?"

Mrs. Ren Yan listened to it funny and explained: " Your professor made friends with a rich man before, this rich man started early, some worth, like to collect antiques, but after all, he is not an expert, he has not deceived many times, and then met your professor, let your professor help palm eye, these years relying on your professor to help palm eye treasure, but received a lot of good things, but who would have thought that within a few years, his business will have problems, especially this year, cash flow is stretched, and it seems that it can't be maintained, his company is going bankrupt, and it is also on our Dongchuan news, your professor also called to ask, the news is true, I really encountered trouble, and now I am thinking about bankruptcy liquidation, there is no company, and it may not be a good thing to keep a bunch of treasures, So this time there is a lot of collection in your hands, after repaying the debt, there can be a lot more, your professor said hello in advance, otherwise the rest of the things, you may not be able to see, this call, is to let the professor take someone to inspect the goods, talk, your newly purchased courtyard, also happened to add some mahogany furniture. ”

"It turned out to be an antique collector. ”

Tang Hao understood as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Professor, I just came into contact with a rich man who went bankrupt in business. ”

"Business is not good. Isn't it normal to go bankrupt? What year did you not go bankrupt?"

The professor smiled, "Let's not talk about this, I'll take you to meet him first." ”

Tang Hao nodded.

Mrs. Ren Yan didn't follow, she wanted to watch the dumplings and yuanzi, these two girls were too noisy, jumping with the chickens and dogs tossed by Dajin and Xiaojin.

got into the car with the professor, Tang Hao didn't drive the four-cornered monster, it was too public, but drove the black Mercedes-Benz driven by Zhen Yuexuan and drove to the rich man's house that the professor said.

The rich man lived in the villa area, and it took a lot of effort to get in.

The decoration style of the villa living room is Chinese style, the design style is obviously carefully designed, you can see flower boards, strips, screens, circle chairs everywhere, full of Chinese elements, but the design and decoration are just right, the whole style is unified and coordinated, the mahogany furniture that my wife said, is particularly conspicuous, Tang Hao came in, and noticed it.

"Professor Qian is here. ”

A middle-aged man with thinning hair, his eyes were a little red and swollen, and when the nanny poured tea and water for Tang Hao and Professor Qian, he slowly walked down the stairs on the second floor.

"Lao Ding, when you are old, pay attention to rest. When the company goes out of business, it goes out of business, and it starts all over again. ”

Professor Qian comforted.

"What's the matter again? I'm getting old, but I don't want to toss anymore, so let's keep some pension money for myself." When I was young, I was fearless and dared to fight, but now it is different, there are old and young, and if you toss again, you may have nothing, and you dare not take risks, so you should honestly leave some pension money. ”

Lao Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head, and after coming over and sitting down, he asked Professor Qian, "How is your health? ”

"I'm fine. ”

Professor Qian smiled: "Don't talk about this. This is my student Tang Hao, it can be said that I am a close disciple, this kid has not graduated from college and his brain has been enlightened, in the past half a year, he has accumulated a lot of capital in the antique circle, and he has also made some money in the jade circle, and he is worth a little, this time I knew that you were going to sell the collection, so I brought it to him. ”

"You said that his name is Tang Hao, right? ”

Lao Ding said with a smile: "In the past few years, because of business matters, when collecting antiques, I have withdrawn, so I have very little intersection with the Dongchuan antique circle in recent years, but I didn't expect that there was a young and promising offspring recently, which is even more important to the Zhen family, naturally there is something extraordinary, and I am a student of Professor Qian, where can I believe it?"

Mr. Ding praised it. ”

Tang Hao said modestly.

"Let's just say it, what I'm going to sell today is all the mahogany furniture you see here, these are old objects for many years, but after all, it's been a long time, so when there is no collection, with the help of Professor Qian, let the wood carver help repair it once, so these mahogany furniture looks new." ”

Ding Zongdao.

Tang Hao nodded, there is indeed this problem, the mahogany furniture looks very new, and the age is not very far away, which is why the style seems to be very consistent with the coordination, because if you don't repair it, you can directly place these mahogany furniture here, which is a little incompatible with the new Chinese decoration style.

Even if the restoration is very exquisite, in the top wood carving master, the repair out, will make the mahogany furniture appear graded, but without losing the characteristics of mahogany, if the wood carving master is inferior, it is likely to repair the good mahogany furniture into a poor texture of the feeling out, the level of wood carving repair skills, the effect presented, is naturally very different.

"Can I take a look?"

Tang Hao said with a smile.

"Of course, inspection is a must, I have to deal with all this, you can see it. ”

Lao Ding said with a smile.

Tang Hao nodded.

On the way here, the professor told Tang Hao that these mahogany furniture were identified by him for Lao Ding, and after confirming the authenticity, Lao Ding collected them. The mahogany harvested that year was actually red sour branch wood.

Red sour branch wood, is a kind of mahogany, is one of the precious tree species of sandalwood, mainly produced in production

It is produced in India, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries, as well as in Guangdong, Yunnan and the Nanyang Islands in China.

Tang Hao carefully appreciated, and found that the color of the red wood was uneven, but the dark stripes were obvious, and the wood was shiny.

Of course, Tang Hao can't identify the wood paint, it's too incredible, thinking that the identification of this kind of mahogany furniture is to remove part of the wood paint, even if it is a top master, it is no exception, he can't be too special, Tang Hao naturally also removed a little wood paint, because the opening is not big, very small, so it is very convenient to repair, but not because you don't buy it, it will cause losses to the other party.

Tang Hao first identified a rocking chair, this rocking chair design is very exquisite, first-class workmanship, at first glance, it is carefully built by a clever craftsman, very heavy, which is caused by the too fine mahogany structure.

"This one was made in the 70s, and it has been many years now, and when I received it, it cost 28,000, which was my early collection, and it happened that it was Professor Qian who helped me identify it at that time. Speaking of this big red sour branch rocking chair, there is an episode in the middle. ”

Seeing that after Tang Hao's identification, it was determined that it was an authentic big red sour branch rocking chair, Lao Ding seemed to remember the past, and said: "At that time, there were two big red sour branch rocking chairs, both of which were similar, I wanted to buy them, if it weren't for Professor Qian, I would really be cheated." ”

"One of them is a fake?"

Tang Hao asked with a smile.

"Hmm. Fake. ”

The professor smiled: "The counterfeiters are very clever, they don't use red sour wood, and they found a substitute, so there is not much difference in the weight of the real red sour wood, whether it is carved or lacquered, it is very exquisite, as if it is genuine, it is impossible to prevent it, if I didn't accidentally knock off the wood paint is deeper, I was really deceived." The traditional identification method of removing a small part of wood paint is not reliable, and when encountering the real top masters, it is necessary to be firm that these people make fakes, and the wood paint is very deep, but because of the fear of being destroyed, often the seller is not allowed to over-clear the wood paint. ”

"Mr. Ding, how much do you want to come up with this?"

Tang Hao nodded and asked Mr. Ding's psychological price.

"You are from Professor Qian, and you are in the antique circle, we don't say dark words, I estimate it at 500,000. ”

Mr. Ding said cautiously.

"This is from the seventies, not the late Qing Dynasty, let alone the middle of the Qing Dynasty, even if it is the late Qing Dynasty, I am willing to give up to 1.5 million, but unfortunately it is only from the seventies, which makes the valuation of this big red sour branch rocking chair greatly discounted, 500,000 is a bit high, and it can only be given to 200,000 at most. ”

Tang Hao listened to the other party's asking price of 500,000 yuan, shook his head, he did not admit the valuation of the big red sour branch rocking chair, the valuation was a little too high, if it was older, it was the late Qing Dynasty, Tang Hao was willing to buy it several times the high price, but it was only seventy years, and the valuation of 500,000 was really too high.

"Lao Ding. I said that my student is in the antique circle, and he knows the market very well, and your asking price is a bit high. The price of 200,000 yuan for you is not low. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, this big red sour branch rocking chair is only worth more than 100,000 yuan, of course, if you continue to collect, it will definitely climb. ”

Professor Qian said with a smile.

"Professor Qian, you guys are really good at bargaining. 200,000 is 200,000. With so much mahogany furniture waiting to come out, I can't afford to struggle in the rocking chair of the red acid branch, so let's learn it. ”

Ding Zongdao.

After finalizing the red sour branch rocking chair, Tang Hao began to identify other mahogany furniture, so he naturally had to come one by one.

Next is the circle chair, after Tang Hao's identification, he chuckled in his heart, and his breathing became short, he thought that this circle chair was the same as the previous red acid branch rocking chair, and it was also made of new materials, but he didn't expect it to be made of old materials.

Mahogany is divided into old materials and new materials, the old materials are flawless, more perfect, the new materials are flawed, compared with the old materials, the collectors who like the mahogany furniture collection, naturally prefer the old materials, but the old materials are too rare, and the flawless furniture basically does not exist, so it is difficult to witness the true appearance, and most of the mahogany furniture is still common in new materials.

Therefore, after Tang Hao identified this circle chair as a flawless old material, it was naturally difficult to suppress his excitement.

"Don Jr. What's wrong?

The professor saw that Tang Hao's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

Tang Hao hurriedly gathered his thoughts, shook his head and said, "No, I just didn't expect this circle chair to be preserved so well, I was a little surprised." ”

"When I bought this circle chair, the seller was newly painted, and there was no re-painting of the wood paint for a second repair. ”

Lao Ding said with a smile: "Not only this one, but also a big red sour branch circle chair, which is a pair, which was in very good condition at that time, because it was a pair, and the condition was intact, so I spent more money when I received it, and I collected it for 120,000 yuan." You're going to want this pair, less than half a million. I'm not going to sell it. ”

Obviously, Lao Ding thinks that this pair of big red sour branch circle chairs are also from the sixties and seventies of the last century, but Tang Hao wants to buy it, the price must not be too low, his psychological price is 500,000, and the price quoted is still relatively real, he doesn't want to have anything to do with Tang Hao, so he made up his mind to make a move as soon as possible.

"I'll have to see how about another big red sour hoop chair first. ”

After Tang Hao identified this big red sour branch circle chair, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and went to see another one, this Tang Hao appraisal was more careful, after the identification, his heart was also shocked, I didn't expect this one to be made of good old materials, and the age was the same as the first one before.

"How's it going?"

Lao Ding said with a smile.

"What do you think, Professor?"

Tang Hao didn't want Lao Ding to see it, so he pretended to hesitate and looked at the professor.

"500,000 is okay for the price. ”

The professor said.

"That's 500,000. ”

Tang Hao gritted his teeth and agreed to Lao Ding's valuation.

After identifying this pair of big red sour branch circle chairs and determining the transaction price, Tang Hao then looked down, and the next thing was a big red sour branch wooden pavilion, after Tang Hao's identification, he was even more shocked in his heart, this is also old material, he doesn't know what seller this Ding always met, how can he be so crazy? Now there are three old materials at once, it is really incredible.

When the center of Tang Hao's heart was beating and accelerating, like a heavy hammer, Lao Ding suddenly slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "I remember, this wooden pavilion was well preserved at that time, and the condition was also very perfect, and it has not been repaired, and this price cannot be too low, although it is not a pair, but it cannot be less than 400,000." ”

After Tang Hao heard this, his heart beat more violently, because this big red sour branch wooden pavilion, which is what we often call the writing desk now, and the pair of big red sour branch circle chairs identified by Tang Hao before, are all from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, according to the valuation, two big red sour branch circle chairs and a big red sour branch wood loft, the valuation of 10 million is not impossible, if it costs less than one million, get a return of nearly 10 million, it is undoubtedly very cost-effective, and this kind of mahogany furniture is hard to find, no wonder Tang Hao is excited.

"Mr. Ding. Don't worry, I haven't finished the appraisal yet, and after I am firm, you are valued at 400,000, whether it is worth it or not, there will naturally be results. ”

Tang Hao pretended to be relaxed, his heart was already fluctuating.

"Okay, okay, you take your time, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Lao Ding said with a smile.

Tang Hao carefully appraised it from beginning to end, and after confirming that it was made of perfect old materials in the Qing Dynasty, he muttered: "The quality is good, much better than the previous big red sour branch rocking chair, and it can be given 400,000 yuan." ”

After reaching an agreement, Tang Hao began to identify the remaining mahogany furniture, mahogany chairs, mahogany small circle chairs, mahogany screens, etc., of course, the old materials of the Qing Dynasty did not appear again, they were all made of new materials in the sixties and seventies of the last century, and the price was naturally not too high.

"Can you trade today?"

After Tang Hao tested everything, he reached an agreement on the valuation, and Tang Hao asked Mr. Ding.

"If it's convenient for you, you can take it away today, and the six million will naturally be paid to me first. ”

All the mahogany furniture adds up, the valuation is six million, because they are all valued in the sixties and seventies, the price will not be outrageously high, on the contrary, the appreciation can only be said to be very general, but Ding always feels that it is normal, after all, the age is not very far away, and compared with the price of buying them, it still makes a lot of money.

Tang Hao knew the value of the pair of red sour branch wood circle chairs and the red sour branch wood loft, so he naturally didn't worry about handing them over to others to transport, and after settling with Mr. Ding, he called Xiao Gang directly and asked him to bring someone over to help carry the mahogany furniture.

Xiao Gang didn't come alone, there were also Da Gang, Qin Bing and Ma Fat Lao Liao, they all came, and naturally they brought a lot of workers to help, and the big pickup trucks drove over.

"Haozi. You're buying so many treasures, and they're all mahogany, and they're all genuine?"

Qin Bing asked.

"Of course, it's the real deal. ”

Tang Hao said: "It's just from the sixties and seventies, and it's a new material used, and the valuation is limited. ”

After speaking, Tang Hao called Xiao Gang over and personally told him to tell the workers to be attentive, do a good job, and give them an extra 50,000 big red envelopes.

Sure enough, the power of money is infinite, I heard that there will be 50,000 red envelopes afterwards, all the workers are full of energy, let them do what they want, and after moving these mahogany furniture into the car, it is like serving their own children, cautious, for fear of bumping into it.

It took nearly two hours to load all the mahogany furniture into the car.

"Boy, do you have a new discovery?"

After getting into the car with Tang Hao, the professor couldn't help but ask.

"Professor, do you see that?"

Tang Hao asked with a smile.

"When Mr. Ding collected these mahogany furniture, I have seen most of them, but it does not mean that all of them have been inspected, and the condition is in good condition, and there is no second paint, and I have not inspected the pair of big red acid branch circle chairs and the wooden pavilion that he bought directly. ”

The professor said.

"Professor. How would you feel if I told you that Mr. Ding was once hit by a pie in the sky?"

Tang Hao said with a smile.

“……”

The professor was stunned for a moment, and said, "You missed the circle chair and the wooden pavilion?"

"Hmm. Dissatisfied with the professor, the circle chair and the wooden pavilion are made of old materials, and they are from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Tang Hao said.

The professor opened his mouth wide in shock, suddenly slapped his forehead, and said: "No wonder your expression was so strange at that time, I thought you were uncomfortable, it turned out that you found new material not in the sixties and seventies, but old material in the middle of the Qing Dynasty." If Lao Ding knew that he had missed it, he once owned the old Liao Hong sour branch wood furniture in the Qing Dynasty, but I was afraid that the field would be regretful. ”

"We've settled the deal, I've paid the money, and he can't help it even if he regrets it. ”

Tang Hao said with a smile: "At that time, I didn't expect to encounter old materials, let alone the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and there were three pieces at once, I was also shocked at the time, these three should be worth 10 million." ”

The pair of circle chairs Tang Hao is valued at five million to six million, and the wooden pavilion should also be valued at more than three million, and four million is not impossible.
