Chapter 192: Reversing Black and White
The reason why Chen Xin was indecisive was because when most people were angry, their judgment of things would be problematic, and he didn't want to joke with his own money, so he was a little hesitant to let Zhu Tianhua help him identify.
On the other side, seeing Zhu Tianhua's appearance, Meng Zitao sneered in his heart and said secretly: "Does the previous incident have anything to do with me? It's not something that you Zhu Tianhua caused by his own poor eyesight." ”
"Besides, Lu Changdai is looking for trouble with you, you Zhu Tianhua is amazing, just go to Lu Changdai to solve it, why are you doing yin and yang weirdness with me? ”
"Humph!"
Although Meng Zitao hated Zhu Tianhua in his heart, he didn't want to waste any words with Zhu Tianhua at the door, so he sneered and walked into the house.
"The villain has a will!" Zhu Tianhua gritted his teeth and scolded.
The expert who came with Zhu Tianhua is called Luo Yue, who is a local antique and miscellaneous expert in Shanghai, and is quite famous in the Shanghai industry.
Because Zhu Tianhua's incident happened not long ago, it has not yet reached this side, and Luo Yue has been out of town for this time, and he has just come back, and he hasn't even heard the news.
At this time, when he saw that Zhu Tianhua hated Meng Zitao so much, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Old Zhu, what's the matter with you and him?"
Of course, Zhu Tianhua couldn't expose his shortcomings, snorted angrily, and said vaguely: "This is a long story, I made a little mistake when I helped the customer to do the appraisal before, and it was nothing, and I have already made up for it, but because he is not relenting." The client was influenced by him and came to me for business. Do you think I'm angry?"
If Meng Zitao heard this. I have to scold Zhu Tianhua for being shameless, and I don't say anything about reversing black and white. actually pushed his own faults away, and he had the face to say it.
Hearing this, Chen Xin hurriedly asked, "In other words, when you identified things, you made a mistake?"
Zhu Tianhua admitted generously: "Yes, I did make a mistake, but the key is that I have already made amends." ”
Luo Yue took over and said, "Mr. Chen, in our line of work, no one can guarantee that they will be wrong for the rest of their lives. I have also made mistakes, and the key is that we all admit mistakes, and this is our reputation. Of course, if you must want to find someone who has not made a mistake before, then we will definitely leave without saying a word. ”
Chen Xin smiled and waved his hand: "Teacher Luo, I don't know much about your business, so I thought that experts would not make mistakes." However, the reason why I asked you to come. As you know, these antiques are really important to my family, in case something goes wrong. How should we solve it. ”
Zhu Tianhua said in a big way: "If something goes wrong, how much is that thing worth, I will pay you as much as possible." ”
Luo Yue also has a lot of confidence in himself. "Yes, I'm the same." ”
Chen Xin smiled: "Since you two said so." Then I'm relieved. ”
At this time, Shen Jia came out to greet them. After a few polite words from both sides, Shen Jia led them into the living room.
Seeing Chen Xin, Shen Feng's words were full of anger, and the two sides said a few words with guns and sticks, and Shen Feng said: "Don't talk nonsense, take care of the matter, hurry up!"
Chen Xin sneered: "Do you think we want to stay here, you take us to pick out the antiques, and we will leave immediately!"
Shen Feng said: "Let's talk about it first, how do you want to choose?"
Chen Xin said: "How else can I choose, of course, let the experts I invite to identify all the collections, and after we discuss, we can pick out the antiques." ”
Shen Feng sneered: "You have a good calculation, you have picked up all the good things, let me drink the northwest wind!"
Chen Xin looked at Shen Feng like a fool, "What are you talking about, no matter how I choose, the value of things can't exceed three million, I don't know what you're anxious about!"
Shen Feng snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know, antiques, in addition to having market value, also have the potential for appreciation, and a high market value does not mean that the appreciation potential is high." But if the appreciation potential is high, it is not a myth that the value may appreciate by 50% or even double in a year and a half, and you have picked up such antiques, what should I do?"
Chen Xin looked at Shen Feng and said, "According to what you mean, I still have to let you choose before you can choose?" I tell you, no way!"
"Then let's just consume it, anyway, you have a lot of friends, and you can find a famous expert at any time." ”
In the end, Shen Feng glanced at Zhu Tianhua unintentionally, which made Zhu Tianhua almost explode, and said in his heart: "What do you mean by looking at me like this, do you want to sarcastically mock me?"
Of course, he hated Meng Zitao the most, because he thought that Meng Zitao had publicized his affairs.
Meng Zitao was thinking about things, and suddenly felt a malice enveloping him, and when he came back to his senses, he found that it was Zhu Tianhua who was staring at him viciously, and couldn't help muttering: "It's really inexplicable!"
According to the usual practice, Shen Feng and Chen Xin quarreled again at this moment, which made Meng Zitao quite speechless, could it be that these two guys must quarrel a few times before they can come up with a solution?
"I said you two, when do you want to quarrel again?
At the critical moment, Shen Jia stood up again and said, "I'll have an idea......
Then, Shen Jia told the plan that Shen Feng and Meng Zitao had discussed before.
"Papapa......" Chen Xin clapped his hands: "You father and son have made a good calculation when the time comes, in the end, you can give this person a discount, what about me?
Shen Feng sneered: "Even if you don't bid, what do you think I will give you?"
"Anyway, no matter what you say, if you want us to bid, there is no door!" Chen Xin refused without thinking about it.
Seeing that the scene had fallen into a stalemate again, Shen Jia pulled his father aside, and the father and son discussed fiercely for a while before returning to their original positions.
Shen Jia said: "I discussed with my dad just now, if you agree to this plan, we can add an additional collection of about 200,000 yuan to you." ”
Before Chen Xin could speak. Shen Feng said: "Chen Xin, this condition is already my limit. If you can accept it, accept it, if you can't accept it, forget it. ”
Chen Xin said: "If this is just the condition. I'm definitely not going to accept it!"
Shen Jia heard this, and hurriedly spoke before his father spoke: "You mean to say that you want to add some conditions?"
"Of course. Chen Xin pointed at Meng Zitao and said: "If you want me to agree, he can only fight for one at most, otherwise there is no need to talk." ”
Shen Feng refused: "This can't work, what if you choose more than a dozen? at least three-quarters of your choices." ”
"No, up to two ......"
After some bargaining, the two sides agreed that Meng Zitao could only fight for half at most. If Chen Xin's choice is less than two or one, then Meng Zitao can't fight.
After discussion, everyone came to the basement under the leadership of Shen Feng.
Meng Zitao looked around, only to see that the basement had been renovated into an antique style, with ancient shelves and shelves, placed in a staggered manner, with all kinds of antiques on them, but. Most of them are porcelain.
This, combined with the influence of lighting, gives the room a classical atmosphere.
Shen Feng said: "You first see if the collection here has been touched, and don't say that I don't follow the rules in the end." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xin walked around the room, then nodded and said, "No problem." ”
"If that's fine. Let's get started......"
Luo Yue took the lead in walking towards the collection on the left, and Zhu Tianhua next to him glanced at Meng Zitao coldly, and then. I went to the right.
Meng Zitao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said hello to Shen Feng. He simply walked towards the Bogu frame in the middle.
The things placed on the Bogu shelf in the middle are very distinctive, because they are not remnants. It's repaired, and none of it is a whole thing.
As mentioned above, the remnants or repairs are not worthless in today's society, and the key depends on the value of the porcelain itself and the craftsmanship of repair.
For example, a blue and white flower and fruit pattern plate in the middle of the Bogu frame attracted the attention of Meng Zitao.
The diameter of this plate is about 30 centimeters, the bottom of the painting folded persimmon tree a branch, on the knot persimmon four, in view of the persimmon and things homonym, ornamentation to take everything as you wish, belongs to the Ming Dynasty auspicious pattern series. In addition, along the inner edge of the plate, the flowers are painted with entangled branches, and the composition is rich in changes. It is also harmonious and unified with persimmon ornamentation, which is very ingenious.
A group of folded branches and flowers such as pomegranates, chrysanthemums, and camellia are painted on the outer wall of the plate, which are equally distributed, chic and neat. The bottom book "Xuande Year" paragraph, the pen law is beautiful. The whole device belongs to the boutique of the best.
But what made Meng Zitao feel extremely sorry was that this blue and white plate was broken into two parts from the middle, and then it was repaired by the technique of "curium porcelain".
What is Curium Porcelain?
I don't know if you have heard of the old saying, "No diamond, don't do porcelain work", this sentence is actually curium porcelain.
In the past, due to poor living conditions, many broken bowls were reluctant to throw away, but found a mending pot and bowl, repaired it and continued to use it.
Curium refers to the use of a kind of bent nail (called palladium nail, palladium curium or curium) to connect and repair cracked utensils.
The method of repairing the bowl is to hit the nails, the craftsman will break the bowl pieces together, tie them with a thread to fix, calculate how many nails should be made, make a mark, and then use a diamond drill to drill small holes on both sides of the outer wall of the porcelain bowl, and then take a copper or iron jujube core-shaped nail and carefully nail the small hole with a small mallet.
Finally, a special white plaster is applied to the place where the palladium has been beaten, and then wiped with a cloth to wipe off the excess plaster, and a bowl is repaired.
Bowls that have been nailed can be used with confidence. Of course, other porcelain objects such as porcelain altars and porcelain cups can also be restored.
This method was later also used in the restoration of antique porcelain, of course, this is certainly not the same as repairing ordinary utensils, it belongs to fine work, and is also called "curium live show".
Some skilled masters can even use the direction of the crack to guide the situation, with gold, silver, copper, iron nails, curium out of the pattern, after a little polishing, it becomes a fine curium porcelain.
Generally speaking, the market price of ancient porcelain with "nails" will mostly drop a lot, even if there are masters to help curium porcelain, but the limitations are also very large. In the past, people basically didn't look down on curium porcelain, and even a few years ago, there were not many players who collected this kind of thing.
But in 2007, there was a Ming orthodox blue and white dragon pattern vat nailed with a circle of scarging nails, but it was sold for 2.09 million yuan.
However, due to the influence of the auction, for a while, the market was boiling, and the "curium porcelain" that had been nailed was becoming more and more sought after. Now the market says "one curium and 100 yuan", which is talking about this kind of precious remnants.
To get back to the point, although it is a pity that Meng Zitao is a little sorry that this Xuande blue and white fruit pattern is broken, but the effect of curium porcelain is okay, and the porcelain is precious after all, although the value is greatly affected, but as long as it is genuine, in the current way, there are still three and a half million.
So, Meng Zitao looked at it carefully, and what made him a little strange was that the two sides of the broken plate were actually about the same size, if it weren't for the fact that the crack didn't look like it was artificially formed, he thought that someone had cut it like this with something.
A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and Meng Zitao turned his attention to the nails on the cracks.
Due to the popularity of curium porcelain now, some counterfeiters deliberately smashed the new porcelain, and then punched the hole with curium, and then made the old to deceive buyers. (To be continued.) )
