Chapter 611: Lingbi Stone
Feng Zhenzhen took out three small shanzi first, and the three shanzi were not of the same material, namely Khotanese white jade, Khotanese jasper and bloodstone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The materials of these three mountains are very good, and the carving work also has its own merits, which is very good, and has the level of a master, which can indeed be called a fine product.
It's a pity that these three mountains are not big, the largest is less than 8 centimeters, and the smallest piece is only about 5 centimeters long, plus although this mountain is considered a fine product, it is not the best among them, on the whole, Meng Zitao believes that the value of three mountains should be about 300,000.
Of course, the 300,000 refers to the market valuation, and if he wants to buy it, of course it is impossible to give such a price, otherwise what will he earn?
When Meng Zitao observed these three mountains, Feng Zhenzhen took out two more things, but this time it was two pieces of porcelain, and then she climbed up from the entrance.
"Ms. Feng, are there only a few things in the basement?" Chen Zhongfeng looked down from the entrance, and although the light below was very dim, he still saw that there were other things on the ground.
Feng Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Take your time, I'll take all the things inside at once, and there's no place to put it, besides, it depends on whether you like it or not." ”
Meng Zitao understood the meaning of her words, and just felt that if she offered a low price, she would not want to take out the things.
Meng Zitao didn't care about her, and continued to carefully observe the two pieces of porcelain, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't feel that things were too good, but that this place was worthy of being the porcelain capital, and he could casually encounter two quite exquisite imitations, although they were not as good as Xiao Likai's level, but they were not much worse.
"Ms. Feng, let's talk about these three mountains first. ”
"Okay, do you want all three?"
"That's right, I'm going to trouble you to give a price. ”
Feng Zhenzhen looked at her nephew, and after seeing Feng Shenming muttering for a while, she said directly: "The quality of these three Shanzi, presumably Mr. Meng should be able to see it, I will give a real price, 450,000!"
"Your aunt and nephew are really virtuous, and they want money when they die!"
Meng Zitao pursed his lips secretly, that is, the price given by Feng Shenming was not too outrageous, otherwise, he would not have made a counteroffer, and directly said no.
"If you are sincere in your desire to sell, two hundred thousand!"
"200,000 yuan?!To be honest, I also eat this bowl of rice, and the price is not high, Mr. Meng, you are too ruthless in bargaining!"
Meng Zitao said lightly: "I may not be as eyesight as some experts, but I think I am no worse than experts in judging the value, and I don't want to sell it for 450,000, if you can sell it for 400,000, my name will be written upside down." ”
Seeing that Meng Zitao's tone was a little unkind, Feng Zhenzhen hurriedly started a round: "Everyone can't buy and sell benevolence, and harmony makes money." ”
Speaking of this, Feng Zhenzhen said to her nephew: "Shen Ming, Mr. Meng is my father-in-law's life-saving benefactor, even if we sell at a loss, what are we worth?"
Meng Zitao pouted secretly, what he said soundly, if you really want to sell at a loss, it will be more difficult than the old sow going up the tree.
Feng Shenming touched his nose: "This is indeed my fault, but 200,000 is too low, this price is equivalent to picking up leaks, so let's do it, we will suffer a loss, even if you are 300,000, this price will almost lose money!"
Meng Zitao didn't want to hear anything about losing money or not losing money at all, so he said directly: "It's auspicious, 280,000, if you don't agree, forget it." ”
The aunt and nephew looked at each other and immediately agreed.
Feng Zhenzhen was overjoyed when she saw that another 280,000 yuan had entered the account, and she smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face were squeezed out: "Mr. Meng, are you satisfied with these two pieces of porcelain?"
Meng Zitao smiled faintly and said: "It's good, it's good, but I don't think you will agree with my psychological price." ”
"Tell me, maybe I'll agree. Feng Zhenzhen laughed.
Meng Zitao pointed to two pieces of porcelain and said: "I will pay 10,000 for this Longquan flower and leaf turner, and I will pay 30,000 for this pastel cloud bat water chestnut bottle." ”
"What!" Feng Zhenzhen was a little dumbfounded.
Feng Shenming was stunned when he heard this, and then said a little incredulously: "You don't think these two are imitations, do you?"
Meng Zitao smiled and didn't say much, but this attitude let everyone know his opinion, and it seems that he does think that these two pieces are imitations.
In fact, not to mention the aunt and nephew, Chen Zhongfeng next to him was also quite surprised, but thinking of Meng Zitao's identity, he still believed in Meng Zitao's judgment and planned to learn more about it later.
"Mr. Meng, you can't be mistaken, right?" Feng Zhenzhen said with a frown, she didn't know Meng Zitao's identity, and her first thought was that Meng Zitao wanted to lower the price.
Meng Zitao said: "If you think I am wrong, then you are wrong, but for me, I will only buy these two pieces of porcelain at the price I just said, if not, then forget it." ”
"Uh......" Feng Zhenzhen saw that Meng Zitao said so much, and it was not easy to say anything, anyway, if she wanted her to sell these two pieces of porcelain at such a cheap price, she would definitely not agree.
Although the porcelain was not sold, it was not bad to have 280,000 openings, so Feng Zhenzhen climbed to the basement and moved a strange stone up.
This strange stone is different from these in the room, and the variety is Lingbi Stone, one of the four famous stones in ancient times.
"Lingbi is a stone in the world, and the sound is like bronze and jade", this is the praise of the Song Dynasty poet Fang Yan for the Lingbi stone. And Wen Zhenheng of the Ming Dynasty described in "The Chronicle of Long Things": "Lingbi stone ...... In the deep mountains and sandy soil, digging is to see, there are fine white lines like jade. Don't afford to be a rock. The best ones are like lying cows, cockroaches, all kinds of abnormalities, and they are really wonderful. ”
From ancient times to the present, Lingbi stone has been loved by literati and elegant guests, and Lingbi stone has the uniqueness of natural artwork and non-renewable resources, which also has a space for appreciation worth looking forward to.
Because most of the surviving "old Lingbi" are huge garden landscapes, and they are mostly preserved in places of scenic spots such as the Forbidden City, Daxiangguo Temple, and Sucheng Garden, the "old Lingbi" that can be listed is very rare. Therefore, the price of modern Lingbi stone products continues to soar.
For example, in 1994, a 45-centimeter-high Lingbi stone lot sold by Sotheby's in Xiangjiang sold for $68,000.
This piece is about 20 centimeters long, shaped like a camel, with twin peaks on the top and two legs across the support. The stone ravines are vertical and horizontal, the texture is natural, and the sound of hand knocking is like a bell and is pleasant to the ear. This piece of Lingbi can be placed in a few cases, but also can be decorated with a small scene, like strolling among the ink clouds, savoring the fragrance of the book, although the shape is not large, but it is quite rare.
What's more, Meng Zitao was surprised to find that several carvings can be seen under the strange stone, but the top one has been destroyed by someone, and the name is no longer clear, and the remaining few carvings are quite famous literati in the Qing Dynasty, but these few are limited, and now, unless they are professionals, they don't know who these people are.
Seeing that the money was destroyed, Meng Zitao felt very sorry in his heart, but fortunately he had a special ability to judge it, and the results confirmed that the first person to keep the money should be in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Speaking of which, there have been two large-scale excavations and collections of Lingbi stones in history. Once in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, first the local people quarried to build a garden, or for the Qing offering, by Su Shi, Mi Fu and other praise, the reputation became more and more noisy, until Huizong built Genyue stone, reached the peak.
It was found that the person who left the money was in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Meng Zitao most wanted to keep the money was Su Shi or Mi Fu, of course, it was best to be Song Huizong, but if it was these three, few people would probably destroy the money they left.
Therefore, if the money is deliberately destroyed, it is likely that the person who kept the money has a bad reputation, so thinking about it, Meng Zitao feels that it may be Cai Jing, a traitor.
Of course, all this is just Meng Zitao's speculation, and now that the knowledge has been destroyed, it is impossible to restore it, so it is unknown who it is, maybe he guessed wrong, but he is just an ordinary person?
To get back to the point, no matter what, the old Lingbi stone is rare on the market in these years, not to mention the old Lingbi in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is even rarer.
Meng Zitao said: "I like this Lingbi stone more, please give a real price, you always give a high price, waste each other's tongues, both sides are tired, why bother?"
Feng Shenming smiled and said: "I didn't think of the key just now, then I'll give you a real price, 500,000!"
As soon as Meng Zitao heard the price he offered, he knew that Feng Shenming did not see the exact age of this Lingbi stone, thinking that this was a Lingbi stone of the Qing Dynasty, but if it was a Lingbi stone of the Qing Dynasty, judging from its performance, 500,000 yuan would definitely be expensive.
Meng Zitao shook his head: "Mr. Feng, if you are like this, then we will not be able to talk about it anymore." ”
"500,000 is still expensive?" Feng Shenming looked incredulous: "There are three famous masters on this Lingbi stone, is it still expensive?"
Meng Zitao smiled faintly: "Then can you tell me what remarkable achievements these three have?"
"Uh...... Uh-huh!" Feng Shenming cleared his throat, somewhat embarrassed, because he had only checked it with his mobile phone before, and found that there were only a few words of introduction on the Internet, and there were no more, so how could he say one, two, three.
"Anyway, the quality of this Lingbi stone must be recognized by Mr. Meng. ”
"Of course, I wouldn't have asked you to make a bid, but that doesn't mean I need to buy it for a sky-high price, right?"
Feng Shenming smiled and shook his head: "It's too exaggerated for you to say this, how can 500,000 become a sky-high price, you must know the transaction price of the old Lingbi Stone this year, you look at the shape, quality, and characteristics of this Lingbi Stone, plus it has been appreciated by at least four ancient masters, 500,000 is really not expensive." ”
"I don't think so......"
