Chapter 419: Ivory Cup
Wang Wei smiled and didn't say anything, after lunch, he took Zhao Tielong and set off, and went straight to the Donglai Pavilion opened by Boss Gu.
"Boss Gu is not there?" When I came to Donglai Pavilion, I found that there was only one young man to take care of the house.
"Boss Gu went out, he explained when he left, he will come back in an hour at most, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for him to come back. The guy said.
"You can call the shots about these antiques, right?" Wang Wei pointed to the antiques in the store.
Usually when the boss is not there, the guy can complete the transaction, and the boss will explain the price of each antique in advance.
While they were talking, Zhao Tielong came to the shelves and looked at the vase he and his sister had sold, with a very gloomy expression on his face.
Boss Gu pitted him and pit him hard, but he didn't have the ability to retaliate.
"Ordinary curios are fine!" the guy nodded.
"Okay, then I'll pick a few at random!" Wang Wei nodded, what he wanted was that Boss Gu was not there, so he called Xiao Liuzi before coming.
Xiao Liuzi told him that Boss Gu went out at this time, and Wang Wei took the opportunity to bring someone over.
He pretended to be very casual and came to the shelf, reached out and picked up an inkstone, and handed it to Zhao Tielong, who walked with him.
Came to another shelf and grabbed a snuffbox.
He chose a bronze wine glass, a blackened ring, all four of which looked like ordinary items, and brought them to the counter.
"Dude, check out!"
"Fifty-six thousand!" The young man looked at the four items, all of which were placed on ordinary shelves, and he quoted according to the highest price explained by Boss Gu.
Credit card!
Wang Wei didn't hesitate at all and paid the bill directly.
"Wang Wei, why did you come to the antique street?" At this moment, a middle-aged man of about forty years passed in front of the Donglai Pavilion.
"It turned out to be Boss Fu, why are you free today?" Wang Wei recognized it at a glance, this person also opened a shop on the antique street, but he did not sell antiques, he sold strange stones, all kinds of strange-shaped stones, and the business was not bad, Wang Wei had patronized it.
However, the two are not familiar with each other, at most they know each other, but now Boss Fu is very enthusiastic about Wang Wei, and it must be the influence of cutting and embroidering the jade from Longdun.
"I just came back from dinner, and I saw you when I passed by, say hello!" Boss Fu walked into Donglai Pavilion with a smile.
"Wang Wei, are you here to buy antiques too?" Boss Fu had just come in, and another boss passed by Donglai Pavilion, a boss who sold jade.
Then, in just ten minutes, more than a dozen bosses happened to pass by, and then walked into Donglai Pavilion to greet Wang Wei.
Wang Wei knew very well in his heart that these people were not passing by by accident at all, they were simply coming for him.
I want him to make a fortune, but it is too likely to be rejected directly, so I have to get acquainted with him first.
"Oh, bosses, why are you so free to party in my store?"
It's Boss Gu who is back!
When he returned to the door of the store, he saw more than a dozen people inside the door, and thought something was wrong.
Could it be that someone has come to settle accounts with him again?
When he does this business, he will be approached every month, so when he sees a lot of people, he immediately thinks of hiding out.
Most of those who come to him to settle accounts have no power and no background, even if they are noisy
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
To no avail.
After all, it's also very annoying to be noisy, so you can hide, and leave the rest to the young man, anyway, the young man has no right to decide.
But just as he turned around to leave, he suddenly saw Wang Wei in the middle of the crowd, and immediately understood what was going on.
He, like those bosses, wanted to borrow light to make a fortune, so he turned around and came back.
"Profiteer, black-hearted businessman!" Seeing that Boss Gu was back, Zhao Tielong muttered quietly.
"Now that Boss Gu is back, then I should leave too!" Wang Wei was about to put away the four antiques.
"Don't, Brother Sun often says that you are also extraordinary in antiques, presumably these four are all good things, right?" Boss Fu hurriedly stopped.
Did he buy something in my store?
Seeing the four antiques in Wang Wei's hand, Boss Gu's heart was over, I heard that Wang Wei's identification of antiques is very powerful, and the legend is amazing, he has never taken it to heart, a hairy boy, even if he has been learning since his mother's womb, it is only about 20 years, how powerful is it?
But after the embroidered dragon dun incident, he had to be afraid and had to pay attention to Wang Wei.
Now Wang Wei is buying four antiques in his shop, of course he is worried that he will be missed, but he is relieved at a glance, he has seen these four antiques many times, and he confirms that they are four ordinary antiques, there is no suspicion, there is nothing to pick up.
"Still don't want it, it's not good......" Wang Wei looked at Boss Gu and refused with a smile.
"There's nothing bad about it, in the antique industry, it's normal to pick up and be picked up, if you can pick up antiques in my shop, it means that there are good things in my store, I'm too late to be happy, come, you can talk about these four antiques, and let me have a long experience." After making sure that the four antiques were not missed, Boss Gu pretended to be generous.
He concluded that it must be Wang Wei who made a fool of himself, and he waited to see a good show.
"Boss Gu, do you really think so?" Wang Wei looked at Boss Gu and asked very seriously.
"That's right, even if you say it, I hope you pick up the leak, so that if it gets out, my Donglai Pavilion's business will be better. ”
"Okay, please trouble Boss Gu, can you find me a knife and an awl?" Wang Wei asked for this, and asked with a smile.
As soon as Boss Gu waved his hand, the young man immediately looked very good, and went to the back to find a knife and an awl.
Wang Wei first took out the bronze wine glass, and then stabbed the bronze wine cup with an awl.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of breaking the wine glass?" This bronze wine glass is an antique work from the Republic of China, with exquisite craftsmanship, although it does not have much historical value, it is also worth thousands of yuan, so when he saw that Wang Wei was going to destroy it, Boss Gu immediately spoke out to stop it.
"It's okay, I've already bought it anyway, if it's broken, it's broken!" Wang Wei replied without raising his head, and then began to drill holes in it.
In fact, his power control is very precise, and it seems that he uses a lot of force, but once he reaches depth, he will never have the slightest more.
A series of small holes were drilled one after another, all on the top edge of the cup, on a thin pattern, connecting the entire upper edge of the cup into a line, and then he took a knife and cut through the two adjacent holes one by one, making a cut, and finally connected into a line, and the pattern was completely destroyed.
Syllable!
Put down the knives!
Wang Wei held the outer wall of the cup with his right hand, put his left hand on the upper edge of the cup, and pulled it upwards so hard that he heard the sound of a cork being pulled up.
The cup held in his right hand did not move, but his left hand pulled out another cup, a trumpet
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The three cups are placed in a row according to their size.
How is this possible?
Everyone suddenly let out an exclamation, one cup turned into two cups, is this magic?
Just as they exclaimed, Wang Wei put down the cup he had pulled out, stretched out his hand, and took out another cup from the cup he held in his right hand.
Now there are a total of three cups, divided into three models: large, medium and small.
The large glass, which is the outer wall of the original wine glass, and the small glass, which is the inner wall of the original wine glass, is medium, sandwiched between two wine glasses.
"There is still such an operation?" The people present, except for Boss Gu, all the others exclaimed.
"This, this is an ivory cup?" Most of the attention was focused on the medium-sized glass, a snow-white bone glass.
"No wonder I look at this cup a little awkward, it turns out to be too big, even if it is used for tea, it is a little too big, it turns out that there is a lot of things inside, and I actually put an ivory cup, wrapped in bronze inside and out, how clever is the craftsmanship, to do this?" someone exclaimed.
To wrap an ivory cup in bronze, it is definitely not to pour it directly while the bronze is melting.
The melting bronze is very hot, and if it is poured directly, it will definitely damage the ivory cup.
That is another possibility, first make a model of an ivory cup, then pour two bronze cups, one for the inner wall and one for the outer wall, and then put the ivory cup inside, and finally the two bronzes are connected to the place, but also to cover up seamlessly.
Not to mention anything else, even this craft, even with modern science and technology, is not so easy to complete, let alone the Republic of China period.
Pick it up!
Everyone was in high spirits, and it was difficult to encounter a leak on the spot, and they were fortunate enough to see it with their own eyes.
Only Boss Gu's face was ugly, he didn't expect him to be blind, and the bronze cup that he had seen many times actually had a lot of things in it.
How could this happen?
He was so remorseful that if he had looked at it one more time, or tried to drill a hole, maybe the ivory cup would have been his.
"Boss Gu, I'm sorry, I missed it in your shop!" Wang Wei picked up the ivory cup and apologized to Boss Gu while looking at it.
"It doesn't matter, in the antique industry, who can not be eye-catching?" said Boss Gu with a smile.
If it weren't for the law, if it weren't for so many people present, he would have rushed straight up and snatched the ivory cup back.
"This is supposed to be a cup from the Ming Dynasty, the carving is extremely exquisite, the ivory is also of the best quality, and even more rare is that it is well preserved. ”
"That's right, it's the first time I've seen such a well-preserved ivory artifact. ”
"I wonder what price such a perfectly preserved ivory artifact should sell for now?"
When everyone was talking, someone suddenly raised the question of price, so everyone turned their heads and looked at Boss Gu.
"Since it's produced by Boss Gu's store, let's let Boss Gu comment on it, how much is this ivory cup worth?" Wang Wei smiled, he put the ivory cup on the table, looked at Boss Gu with a painful face, and it was also a very fun thing to beat the water dog.
How much is it worth?
Hearing Wang Wei's words, Boss Gu was even more distressed, but in front of everyone, even if he was distressed to death, he could only pretend to be indifferent, and even accompanied by a smiling face, although in his heart, he couldn't wait to bite Wang Wei to death.
