Lao Li still had a total of 36 pieces of "ancient jade" left, and in less than five minutes, they were all snatched up by some tourists and other counter owners. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
500 yuan a piece, to be honest, it's really not very expensive, not to mention the ancient jade, that is, the new jade is of good quality, it will cost thousands of RMB, in case there is something like Mr. Zhuang found here, then it will make a lot of money.
Lao Li counted the stack of banknotes in his hand, and there were as many as 18,000 yuan, and he was deceived by the "peasants" and "planted mines", and he almost earned it back.
Now Lao Li is also a little confused whether he has encountered a scam, or that person is really a simple peasant? It is said that the person who is in this trap should also have some eyesight, so as not to confuse Yin Shang Guyu with these fake things, right?
Speaking of this, it can only show that Lao Li's ideas are too bad, and Zhuang Rui's luck is too good, Yin Shang Guyu, which originally belonged to him, was picked up by Zhuang Rui in a daze.
The "props" used by the scammer were actually bought in a package at an antique market in another city, and there was some jade in it, which was wrapped in lumps.
The "farmer" was a fraudster, and he was not an expert in identifying jade, so he was busy mixing these objects with mud to fake, and he didn't find that these "props" were mixed with two pieces of Yin Shang ancient jade.
Although the probability of such a thing is relatively low, in the antique market, there are still heard from time to time, such as out of the big family or the place where the ancient tombs gather, there are often people who go to shop for objects, and sometimes over time, those locals learn to be shrewd, and also know to buy some fake gadgets, fool those who think they are shrewd city people.
There was once a buddy in Beijing, who went to Hebei to dig out the old house, that person was quite eye-catching, from a pile of dilapidated modern bronze handicrafts, picked out seven or eight arrows with words, and later returned to Beijing to identify, it was the arrow of the Qin Dynasty, and he earned seventy or eighty thousand yuan as soon as he changed hands.
Therefore, in the antique shop, the final thing is the eyesight, otherwise even if the baby is placed in front of you, I am afraid it will be a passing eye, and the treasure is not known.
"Lao Zhao, why is the package so tight? I bought something good, and I also shared it with my brothers......
After Lao Li counted the money, he turned his head and saw that Lao Zhao, who scolded the most just now, but it was Lao Zhao, who bought the most, came back from the bathroom, no need to ask, he must have used the faucet there to clean the jade.
", damn, it's just a piece of Kunlun green jade, the fart money is not worth it, damn, did you kid do it on purpose?"
After Lao Zhao heard Lao Li's words, he suddenly became angry, he just paid 2000 yuan to buy 4 pieces of jade, who knew that under the careful selection, there was a real jade, but the workmanship was rough, the jade quality was inferior, at most it was worth 20 yuan, it was good, and in a blink of an eye, he lost 1980, Lao Zhao can be in a good mood?
"Yes, I said Lao Li, did you do it on purpose?"
"Lao Li, what the hell is this jade? It's just a plastic......
"Lao Li, lose money, fuck, I spent 1500 to buy three pieces of glass, and my daughter-in-law doesn't know what to do when I go home......"
The people who will go to clean the jade have also come back, all of them have a bad face on their faces, and they originally wanted to pick up a cheap one to try their luck, but who knew that except for Lao Zhao, there was a piece of jade, and the others had nothing to do with jade at all.
This can't help but make people suspect that Lao Li is passing on the risk and using everyone's money to make up for the 20,000 yuan he lost, and the fact is that the banknote in Lao Li's hand is enough to prove that he basically hasn't lost a few dollars now.
"Hey...... Hey, I said everyone, I haven't touched these things, think about it, I can't throw two pieces of ancient jade worth hundreds of thousands into it, right?
Besides, I have such a big face, can I get Mr. Zhuang to set you up? Paralyzed, if I were more diligent, those two pieces of jade would be mine......"
Lao Li originally wanted to explain two sentences, but as he spoke, the anger also came up, and he couldn't wait to slap his ears a few times, you said that you wiped and cleaned forty or fifty yuan at the time, why didn't you stick to it?
When everyone heard Lao Li say this, they were relieved, they just spent one or two thousand yuan to buy a fake thing, and Lao Li threw millions of them out with his own hands.
Weighing Lao Li's unlucky thing on himself, everyone easily found a balance, and there were a few "kind people" at the moment, but they comforted Lao Li, of course, whether they were sincere or gloating, that is, two words.
"Teacher Zhuang, you see, I took the idea without your consent, I'm really sorry......"
Zhuang Rui followed Manager Zhang, who was already sitting in the manager's office in the antique city at the moment, where the air conditioning was more adequate than outside, and the sweat on Manager Zhang's forehead was much less.
"It's okay, it's okay, Manager Zhang, just call me Xiaozhuang, it just so happens that I also want to see the collection of Tibetan friends in Zhengzhou, and it's good for everyone to exchange experiences with each other......"
Zhuang Rui took the water poured by Manager Zhang, and said a few words politely and modestly, he will open a museum in the future, and he will have to communicate with Tibetan friends from all over the country, and he will regard Zhengzhou as the first stop.
Besides, if I don't agree, I'm afraid I will still be surrounded on the first floor of the antique city.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Manager Zhang waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't dare to be, you are a well-known expert in the country, you must call the teacher, Teacher Zhuang, please sit down for a while, I will go out for a while, and I will come back immediately......"
Zhuang Rui smiled and said, "Manager Zhang, you are free to ......"
After this tension left the manager's office, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed it.
"Hey, big brother, hurry up and bring the Kangxi blue and white at home, as well as the small box I hid under the bed, and bring it together, yes, yes, come to the antique city......"
Dare to love this manager Zhang is also selfish, his brother Zhang Feng, is also a well-known collector in Zhengzhou, there are a lot of old things that have been received over the years, but with the professional level of their brothers, there are many things that cannot be broken.
Now Zhuang Rui is sitting in his own office, and Manager Zhang is naturally close to the water.
The tension outside was on the phone, and Zhuang Rui in the office also received a call.
"Boss Ren, didn't you say something to look at? Now?
Boss Ren, now I really can't leave, in Zhengzhou Antique City, I was surrounded by a group of people just now to identify objects, or you will come over, let's have a meal together at noon?"
The call was from Yu Zhenping, I don't know why, he suddenly wanted to meet Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui didn't understand Yu Zhenping's intentions, but he still told the truth and told the other party about his situation.
"Oh, forget it, I'll call Boss Zhuang again tomorrow......"
Yu Zhenping licked his lips with his tongue, he hadn't eaten meat for almost half a month, and he wanted to go to Zhuang Rui's invitation, but after thinking about it, safety came first, so he rejected Zhuang Rui at the moment.
However, after hanging up the phone, Yu Zhenping immediately stood up, dressed up, and hurriedly walked out of the hiding place.
Zhuang Rui, who was sitting in the manager's room, thought about it for a while, took out another mobile phone, sent a text message to Jiang Hao, and told him about the matter.
"Manager Zhang, Manager Zhang, is Mr. Zhuang here? Hey, I'm still the first?"
Zhuang Rui was drinking tea and chatting in the office, the door of the manager's room was pushed open from the outside, and the old Qi just now, holding a scroll in his hand, rushed in like the wind, and the clothes on his body were all wet with sweat.
"Hey, Lao Qi, you playing with Gao Guyu, how can you get the whole painting? You kid must have a lot of good things at home......
Zhang Li was very familiar with the tenants of this antique city, and he laughed and joked with Lao Qi at the moment.
"Manager Zhang, you also said me, I'm afraid your boss will be there in a while, right?"
Lao Qi will not be embarrassed for Zhuang Rui in the antique city just now, other people's private museums have been opened, and he can't compare at all, so let's honestly save an appraisal fee.
However, Lao Qi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if you want him to be convinced, then Zhuang Rui still needs to show some real skills, at least the painting he brought over for appraisal today is relatively rare.
Zhang Li's office is more modern, with a glass coffee table, a large desk, not very suitable for the identification of objects, the moment called a few security guards, from the first floor of the wood crafts area, moved an antique imitation red sandalwood long table, moved the large desk, placed in the middle of the room.
"Lao Qi, your old boy is really fast......"
"Old Yu, you're not slow, what kind of object are you holding in your hand?"
"I said, how many of you brothers have arrived?"
As he spoke, the people who had just been diverted out of the antique city gathered together again, not only the office was full of people, but even the corridor outside the door was crowded with collectors who had come to appraise.
And this number is much higher than the person who left just now, these days, who doesn't have a few relatives and friends?
Especially the people who are engaged in collecting, almost everyone has their own small circle, and the matter of free appraisal by experts has long been spread throughout the antique industry in Zhengzhou, but everyone who is in Zhengzhou is holding back their strength to rush here.
"Ahem, everyone be quiet, today I can invite Mr. Zhuang to come to our antique city as a guest, do you want to express a warm welcome first?"
Zhang Lihui didn't know where to find a loudspeaker, stood at the door of the room, and shouted loudly, although there were many people, but the people who entered the room were all well-known people in the Zhengzhou antique world.
And some Tibetan friends are "consciously" lined up in a long line, no way, some unconsciously, the security guard's electric baton immediately pointed over.
"Okay, I won't delay everyone's time, now there will be a teacher from Qingzhuang to start the appraisal......"
After the applause, Manager Zhang put away the speaker very interestingly, and sat next to Zhuang Rui, who could watch his appreciation next to the expert, which was also an opportunity to learn and improve.
"Mr. Zhuang, please take a look at this painting......
Lao Qi was the first to arrive, naturally the first to come up for identification, at this moment Lao Qi has put away his own "jade expert" shelf, and very respectfully put the painting in his hand in front of Zhuang Rui.
"Where did you get this object?"
Zhuang Rui had observed the scroll in his hand with aura as early as when Lao Qi entered the house, and found that it contained an extremely rich white aura, which should be the handwriting of a modern master.
"Hehe, I went to Shanghai a few years ago, and I got it from an old friend, I don't know much about landscape painting, so I showed it to Mr. Zhuang to see if it is the authentic work of Mr. Xiao Junxian?"
Lao Qi smiled, he took out this painting, firstly, he bought it for 20,000 yuan, and he really wanted to identify the authenticity, and secondly, he actually used this painting a little bit to study the meaning of Zhuang Rui.
Although Xiao Junxian is a famous painter in modern times, his name is not as loud as Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi, and he is generally not a professional painter, and he has never even heard of this name.
After Zhuang Rui heard Lao Qi's words, he nodded, there was no expression on his face, but he laughed in his heart,
Zhuang Rui knew his own shortcomings, that is, the knowledge of the inheritance and origin of physical objects, and he knew relatively little, so he thought of a stupid way to memorize the resumes and artistic styles of many celebrities in ancient and modern times.
Combined with his ability to distinguish between his eyes and his understanding of ancient and modern artists, Zhuang Rui is now definitely worthy of the title of "expert".
Zhuang Rui still has an impression of Xiao Junxian, and he doesn't need to open this scroll, Zhuang Rui has already decided in his heart that this painting should be Xiao Junxian's authentic handiwork.
Because although Xiao Junxian is a native of Hunan, he lived in Shanghai in his later years and made a living selling paintings, and the painting that Lao Qi got from Shanghai has already explained part of the problem.
After putting on the gloves, Zhuang Rui slowly rolled the shaft rod and spread the painting on the table.
This is a typical Chinese ink landscape painting, the painting style is very elegant, far and near are distinct, in the layer by layer to the distant view, it expresses a very high realm, showing the author's extraordinary painting skills.
"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang, what do you think of this painting?"
It doesn't matter if Zhuang Rui's appraisal takes a long time, but there are still hundreds of people waiting outside the door for identification, Manager Zhang couldn't help but whisper a few words to Zhuang Rui, asking him to make a comment quickly.
Zhuang Rui was originally immersed in this landscape abroad, but was suddenly interrupted by tension, raised his head, and said a little dazedly: "Ah, yes, yes, it's Xiao Junxian's real handiwork......"
It's just that Zhuang Rui's words are a little unconvincing, this antique is not only fake to point out the problem, it is true, you also have to say his style and characteristics, of course, more people here are concerned about its price.
So as soon as Zhuang Rui's words came out, Lao Qi and some experts showed a trace of disappointment and contempt on their faces, and now no one confronted Zhuang Rui, isn't it true or false that he said casually?
After the previous Taoyu incident, Lao Qi was not so reckless, and said politely: "Teacher Zhuang, can you give me a comment?"
"Hehe, then I'll just say a few words......"
Zhuang Rui's eyes were still on the painting, and he gently brushed the thick ink and light place with his hand, and said: "Chinese landscape painting is very particular about the outline of light ink and burnt ink.
And this painting is very well represented in the ink, and every stroke is a pen with a place, showing a very solid basic skills.
To put it irreverently, modern masters such as Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian may not be as profound as Mr. Xiao Junxian in terms of basic skills.
As a modern painter, Mr. Xiao not only comprehended the essence of the ancients' paintings, but also added his own thoughts and creations, and had his own unique artistic style......
When Zhuang Rui said this, it was already quiet below, and only the breathing of everyone could be heard.
"Personally, I admire Mr. Xiao very much, and many friends may not know that Mr. Xiao Junxian is a very famous calligrapher and painter in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and Mr. Xiao once gave up his official position to teach and gave up his official position to become a teacher, which was the first person at that time.
During Mr. Xiao's time as a teacher, he also created many Chinese painters from the Republic of China period to the early liberation period, such as Chen Shizeng, Lu Fengzi and others, all of whom were students of Mr. Xiao.
This painting is Mr. Xiao's imitation of the five generations of Juran's "Mountain Dwelling Map", it can be said that it is Xiao Junxian's fine painting, very collectible, this old brother, congratulations to you......"
Zhuang Rui's words from the style of painting to the painter himself, in simple terms, clarifying the truth, listening to the crowd was fascinated, until Zhuang Rui finished commenting, everyone still did not come back to their senses, feeling a little unfinished.
After more than a minute, under the leadership of Manager Zhang, the applause suddenly rang out, and it could not stop for a long time.
"Isn't Mr. Zhuang an expert in jade, how can he be so proficient in Chinese painting?"
"What do you know, these experts are all knowledgeable, otherwise they can be on CCTV?"
"What I said is that Mr. Zhuang's words are so good, I really feel like I have taken a class......
After the applause stopped, everyone started talking, but the words were very quiet, for fear of disturbing Zhuang Rui.
If you want to say that Zhuang Rui just picked up the omission to prove his eyesight, there are also some elements of luck, then this explanation is an out-and-out revelation of Zhuang Rui's profound theoretical knowledge.
There were many people playing calligraphy and painting present, and many of them did not know Xiao Junxian's name.
"Mr. Zhuang, how much is this painting worth?"
The authenticity has been identified, and the price is naturally the most concerned issue for Lao Qi.
"Mr. Xiao Junxian's paintings have great potential for collection, but the price of modern landscape paintings is not very high, and I estimate that it should be between 40,000 and 60,000 yuan......
Zhuang Rui pondered for a while and gave this price, to be honest, he really wanted to take this painting into his pocket, because there are very few people who paint landscapes in modern times, and this painting can be said to be a representative painting.
Some friends may say, since it is representative, why is the price so low? This is also according to the market demand, Zhuang Rui didn't say before, the collection potential is very large, the main reason for the low price now, the key is that no one speculates.
Do you really think that the paintings of "Zhang Qixu" and others were so valuable from the beginning? It was not after being branded with many names and hyped up that they shone in the art market.
If Zhuang Rui can accept this painting, display it in his museum, and note the name of the first person in modern Chinese landscape, to ensure the value of this painting, it will be worth a hundred times more immediately.
There are people who are familiar with Lao Qi, who knows the origin of his painting, and immediately said: "Lao Qi, congratulations, you only received it a few years ago, right? In a few years, the price has doubled......
"Hehe, this is going to be sold, I don't know if anyone will buy it......" Lao Qi said modestly.
"You want to sell?"
Zhuang Rui's heart moved, and said: "This is Master Qi, right? I am now collecting modern Chinese art, if you are interested in transferring, I can offer a price, do you think it will be possible?"
Zhuang Rui's museum, now is lacking modern calligraphy and painting, although Xiao Junxian is not famous, but the style of painting is calm and elegant, representing the late Qing Dynasty relatively high artistic standards.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhuang, if you like it, just give a price......
Lao Qi himself is to sell to raise Tibet, he is playing with jade, the reason why he collects this painting is to sell it for money, since Zhuang Rui wants to buy it, he naturally has no reason not to sell.
Zhuang Rui pondered for a while, stretched out his right thumb and index finger, gestured, and said: "Eighty thousand, Master Qi, even if this painting is auctioned, the auction price should not be higher than sixty thousand, I will pay eighty thousand yuan, I don't know what you mean?"
"Eighty thousand?!"
Lao Qi was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that Zhuang Rui would offer a price of forty or fifty thousand, but he didn't expect Zhuang Rui to give 4 times his purchase price with one mouth, which made Lao Qi unexpected.
"Master Qi, if you can keep this painting in your hands for another seven or eight years, it should be more than 80,000 yuan, but in the current calligraphy and painting market, the price I offer is already the highest......"
Zhuang Rui saw that Lao Qi was a little hesitant, and hurriedly added a handful of firewood, if this painting came into his hands, it would not take seven or eight years, within two years, Zhuang Rui would definitely be able to speculate on its price, and he would not do it if it was a loss-making business.
"Okay, I'll sell it, Manager Zhang, let's issue a notarial certificate of sale......
Although Lao Qi didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, and he didn't know the specific price of Xiao Junxian's works, he believed that Zhuang Rui would not dare to say anything in front of so many people.
This antique business, not to say that there are objects in hand, you must be able to sell them, it also depends on the right time, place and people, in order to sell at a high price, if you pass the village of Zhuang Rui, Lao Qi may not be able to find a store of 80,000 yuan, it is so simple that he agreed.
Not to mention that Zhuang Rui is busy with identification and trading, around Zhengzhou Antique City, there is also an undercurrent, after Jiang Hao received Zhuang Rui's text message, he immediately coordinated with the Zhengzhou police, mobilized a large number of plainclothes police, and entered the antique.
