Volume 1 Chapter 222 The Shameful Past of the Last Century

Song Lao has been immersed in antiques for many years, since he entered the antique industry, he has dedicated most of his life to this industry, and it is impossible to change careers, with his youthful hard work and studiousness, talent, over the years, he has accumulated a huge value, and he has become a firm foothold in the Yangcheng antique circle and has become a big man.

"Now on the market, the most collectible is hardwood furniture, the hardwood furniture I mean refers to the two dynasties, Xiao Tang, do you know?"

After the nanny made the tea, Song Lao looked at Tang Hao looking at the mahogany furniture in the living room, and asked with a smile.

"It's the Ming and Qing dynasties. To be precise, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, it is best to use rosewood, but this kind of furniture is not seen in the living room, it is all mahogany furniture. ”

Tang Hao said.

"You're right. The yellow rosewood of the Ming and Qing dynasties is not easy to find, but I have collected some over the years, but it is placed on the second floor. ”

Song Lao said with a smile.

"This old man really has something, the yellow rosewood of the Ming and Qing dynasties is precious. ”

Dagang may not know much about the others, but no one knows more about the wood than him, what is the grade of Huanghuali wood in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he knows it well, but he didn't expect Song Qishan to even have a collection of these hardwood furniture.

"I've been immersed in the antique circle for many years, and you think it's for nothing?"

Tang Hao replied to Dagang, and listened to Song Laodao: "Xiao Tang." Let's go, go to the second floor to see, these mahogany furniture, not too high-grade, let's go to see the highly collectible Ming and Qing Dynasty hardwood furniture. ”

Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhen Yuexuan, nodded, and followed Song Lao to the second floor.

To the second floor, I found that the decoration of the entire second floor is more upscale, simple and majestic, giving people a strong sense of heaviness, the furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties can be seen everywhere, circle chairs, back chairs, eight immortal tables, big books, there is a Tang Sancai horse on the big bookcase...... In addition, the arches taken out of the living room, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, all of which come into view have their inheritance and origin, and Tang Hao is very shocked to be able to gather so many hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"It took me a lot of effort to get all of this together. ”

Song Lao smiled: " Let's just say that this small circle chair, I bought it on the black market, and it cost two hundred yuan, because the original owner's child, ADHD, this chair is not less than the little guy, but the child understands what, happy to step on it, unhappy to go up and step on it hard, resulting in serious wear and tear, in order to repair this circle chair in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, I removed some wooden boards from another furniture in the late Ming Dynasty, grafted and repaired, it took half a month to be considered a perfect splicing, if it is placed on the market, even if it is a veteran, it may not be able to see. ”

"How is the toning repaired?"

When Da Gang heard this, he immediately asked, "How do you make the color of their pulp unified?"

"This is a secret, young man, and I can't say it. That's the rule. You don't know? You can't ask unless I tell you how. ”

Song Lao was surprised when he heard Da Gang's words.

"Old Song. He's a big guy and doesn't understand it at all. ”

Tang Hao argued, but he was shocked in his heart, the huge second floor was actually filled with Ming and Qing hardwood furniture, this Song Lao was really generous.

"I'm just giving a small example, the other furniture collections have their own stories, and it really took me a lot of effort to collect them all. Take a good look, if you like it, I'll let you pick it, old man. You can pick up to three pieces. Song Lao said with a smile.

"Master. ”

Zhu Longtian was very surprised, he didn't expect the master to make this decision.

"I forgot to say, Xiao Tang, the restoration of the circle chair I was talking about was actually repaired by my apprentice, and the Tang Sancai horse on the bookcase you saw was jointly restored by us. ”

Song Lao said with a smile.

Tang Hao understood as soon as he heard it, Song Lao was able to accept Zhu Longtian as an apprentice, naturally because he had unique skills in some aspects, otherwise why let Song Lao accept him as an apprentice?

"Old Song, there is a saying that no merit is not punished, you asked me to choose three things here, is it because I will help you identify the Guiguzi big jar?"

Tang Hao shook his head and said, "Let me pick three things, it's too precious." ”

"As long as you help me identify, isn't it reasonable for you to pick three things?"

Song Lao smiled: "Little Tang." You can go from nothing to today, you naturally have unique skills, I accepted Zhu Longtian, because he is talented in restoration, it is really a gift to God. You help the Zhen family gamble on stones, you appraise the treasure yourself, invincible, you must have its extraordinary skills in this regard, I don't know if it is the induction when appraising the treasure, or the so-called eye of the sky, but I am very optimistic about you now, and I am willing to pay a good reward for it. ”

"Old Song, you praise me so much, it really torments me. ”

Tang Hao was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't think that the other party could guess his secret, and shook his head and said: "Before I came, Qin Lao and Professor Qin didn't recommend coming to Yangcheng, but in the end, I still came, and I also wanted to see Guiguzi go down the mountain Yuan blue and white pot, even if I want to appraise it, I won't accept your payment, because it will become a transaction, help you identify it, it's okay, once it fails, it will only be bad for me." ”

"What do you mean?"

Song Lao didn't react.

"Tang Hao means to go with you to identify the Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white pot, but not in the name of helping you identify, but to identify as a buyer, the appraisal results can be shared with you, as for Song Lao, whether you are willing to buy it in the end, and whether you will smash it in your hands after buying it, it has nothing to do with Tang Hao. ”

Zhen Yuexuan said with a smile.

"For fear of mistakes in the identification and to protect your reputation, which of you came up with this idea?"

Song Lao was a little unexpected.

"Song Lao, you have to take care of it more, Tang Hao's foundation is shallow, and you can't compare, you can only say that he is famous in the circle, his peers call him Tang Yiyan, that's with face, he can't be unclear, if you really want to be arrogant, I don't know the depth to help you identify, once something goes wrong, it goes out and you lose your eyes, so that he can't be immediately beaten back to his original form?"

Zhen Yuexuan said with a smile.

"You're really thoughtful. But I understand, old man. But when the time comes, what if it's true, will you bid with the old man?"

Song Lao said with a smile.

"I can't come up with hundreds of millions of cash flow. ”

Tang Hao smiled and shook his head, "You also think too highly of me." ”

"Haha. ”

When Song Lao heard this, he laughed and said, "Since I invited you over, the most basic trust is still there." Good. I promised, it's the right way. ”

"Old Song, can you tell me about this Korean collector?"

Tang Hao saw that he had negotiated the method of helping Song Lao identify the Guiguzi Yuan blue and white jar, so he asked him the question he had been concerned about before he came, that is, what was the origin of the Korean collector, so that Song Lao trusted him so much, and he could get the real Yuan blue and white jar from his hand.

"Before I talk about this Korean collector, let me first say one thing, you may not know much about this matter. seldom

Someone has mentioned this kind of thing, after all, it is a shame for our country. ”

When Song Lao heard Tang Hao's words, a grief that could not be concealed appeared on his face no matter what, the kind of pain that seemed to be cut out of his heart, and Tang Hao was stunned when he saw it.

"Shame?"

Zhen Yuexuan said blankly.

"Yes. It's a shame. ”

Song Lao smiled bitterly, took the teacup handed over by Zhu Longtian, took a sip of tea, and waited for Zhu Longtian to take it, before he said slowly: "In fact, our national cultural relics identification standards were missing in the past, that is, there were no identification standards, because of the lack of cultural relics identification standards, resulting in a large loss of cultural relics and overseas. Later, there were appraisal standards, but they were quite non-standardized, and there were many loopholes, and the use of immature appraisal standards to identify the newly unearthed artifacts of that year also led to another result, that is, "wrong judgment", which was identified as a fake, which also led to a large number of unearthed artifacts falling overseas. ”

Speaking of this, Song Lao paused and said: "After our country opened up, large-scale infrastructure construction was carried out, which led to the unearthing of many undiscovered cultural relics, and the number and types of unearthed cultural relics have increased significantly compared with the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The various types of antique artifacts newly unearthed are different from the previously familiar styles and varieties. Since we cannot find historical records, we cannot "verify the authenticity" and prove that it is genuine, and it has not been recognized for a long period of time. It is precisely because of these "histories" that are not recognized by books.

In the 90s of the last century, the cultural relics of our country began to be lost overseas on a large scale. Not only is it circulated at a lower price in the market, but it is also sold on a large scale under the name of "handicraft". These cultural relics that have been resold have not only flowed to Europe and the United States, but also to developed countries in Japan and South Korea, among which South Korea has poured hundreds of thousands of ceramics into the past 20 years.

The influx of these ceramics caused a phenomenon at that time, when the rich in South Korea in the world, a large number of purchases of ceramics flowing into our country, at a very low cost, large-scale purchases, and so on after our economic development, they joined hands to hype Chinese cultural relics porcelain, and finally were officially genuine, and then at a very high price, back to our country, from which to make a lot of money, among which this time to auction the owner of the Guiguzi Xiashan Yuan blue and white jar, his family is in the 90s to buy our country's porcelain Cui family, this operation of the auction porcelain is the Cui family's youngest son Cui Taiyuan。 In order to show their sincerity, their family auctioned the porcelain antiques collected in the Yangcheng Poly Auction House more than once. This time it was even more generous, and it was necessary to auction the Yuan blue and white jar obtained by chance under the chaos of the year. ”

Tang Hao couldn't help but think of the fact that many years ago, the teacher made money for his son's marriage and sold the Yuan blue and white jar at a very low price, which was not impossible in the 90s, and it was smuggled overseas as handicrafts.

"I didn't expect that South Korea would get such huge benefits in the 90s. ”

This was somewhat unexpected by Tang Hao, he thought that a large number of cultural relics and antiques were smuggled to Europe and the United States, but in that year, Japan and South Korea also got a piece of the pie, and it can be said that they ate a lot of money.

"You forgot. Japan and South Korea are also developed countries. ”

Zhen Yuexuan said: "My grandfather mentioned it back then, and as soon as he mentioned this matter, he was very angry, and then he didn't dare to talk about this issue again. ”

"The professor never told me that Japan and South Korea also bit off such a big piece of fat from us back then. ”

Tang Hao didn't know about this ugly thing at all, he only knew that after the antique cultural relics were lost overseas, Europe and the United States gained huge benefits from it, but he didn't expect that Japan and South Korea around him also made a lot of money from it.
