The shopkeeper watched Zhuang Rui put the black pottery into the cardboard box again, and there was about to burst into fire in his eyes, but the thing was not his own, he couldn't see it but couldn't touch it, so he could only sigh in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Boss, let's go to the Shu Yazhai you said, I just want to buy something for the elders......"
After Zhuang Rui cleaned up, he carried the cardboard box in his hand, the most significant feature of this Longshan black pottery is that it is light, and a huge object in his hand can not feel a little weight.
"Cheng, let's go now, but I said Brother Zhuang, if you want to transfer this Longshan black pottery in the future, you must give priority to my old one, the price is absolutely fair......
The shopkeeper was still a little unrelenting, and handed Zhuang Rui a business card, he saw that Zhuang Rui was not very old, and he couldn't tell when he would use the money, so his opportunity would come.
Zhuang Rui smiled and said: "I will definitely deal with the boss in the future, but I won't sell this object, if the boss really likes it, you might as well find something good, we can communicate in private." ā
Zhuang Rui's words blocked the shopkeeper's thoughts, but left him a back door, it is not impossible to want this object, but you have to take out something that I can see in exchange.
Zhuang Rui's practice is the most popular in the antique industry, in this circle, you fancy other people's objects, you want to pay to buy, but others may not sell, at this time you have to take out other people's favorite things to exchange, the circulation of collectibles in the industry, the real buying and selling is not very much, the exchange of items accounts for the vast majority.
Uncle De once told Zhuang Rui such a thing, he dug out the old house in Shanxi a few years ago, and got a complete set of six pieces of Huanghuali Eight Immortal Tables and Chairs, once, a Tibetan friend in Beijing went to his home as a guest, and took a fancy to this set of Huanghuali tables and chairs, and bid four million at that time, to buy it, the price of Huanghuali antique furniture is rising, and Uncle De naturally disagreed.
The Tibetan friend in Beijing really took a fancy to this set of tables and chairs, and ran from Beijing to Zhonghai more than ten times a year, all pestering Uncle De to buy this set of objects, and took a few good collections to exchange with Uncle De, and finally Uncle De was really grinding by him, and he also took a fancy to the Qing Kangxi Alum Red Color Painting Gold Cloud Dragon Pattern Straight-necked Vase he took out, so he exchanged it with him.
Because of everyone's different preferences and different collection directions, this kind of object exchange, it is impossible to say who suffers and who takes advantage, like Uncle De plays miscellaneous pieces, is good at porcelain, and has more preference for porcelain, and the Tibetan friend in Beijing likes antique furniture, so he is willing to take out the alum red color painting gold cloud dragon pattern straight-necked bottle of Qing Kangxi and exchange it with Uncle De.
In terms of value, the auction price of Qing Kangxi's alum red color painted gold cloud dragon pattern straight-necked bottle reached about 7 million that year, and Uncle De's set of eight immortal tables and chairs could only be auctioned for 5 million at most, but this transaction was successfully concluded, and Tibetan friends in Beijing did not have any dissatisfaction.
Some friends are about to say when they see this, you are talking nonsense, I will sell the Kangxi official kiln porcelain, and then go to buy Huanghuali's tables and chairs, who is stupid and knows that it will lose two million and go to change?
Although the truth is like this, but in practice, it may not work, that Qing Kangxi's alum red color depicted gold cloud dragon pattern straight-necked vase, can be auctioned for seven or eight million, but you have this money, but you may not be able to receive a set of eight immortal tables and chairs like Uncle De.
You know, although there are a lot of old objects left over from the past dynasties, but there are not many that can be put together, just like a pair of blue and white Panlong porcelain vases in the Qianlong period, one once sold for a price of 3.2 million, but when the other one is alive, it was auctioned for a sky-high price of 9.8 million, the reason why it is so expensive is nothing more than the owner of another porcelain vase, who wants to make it into a pair.
Therefore, in the antique shop, it is difficult to say who suffers and who takes advantage, this is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, willing to fight.
"Okay, please also ask Brother Zhuang to leave a film, and we will be closer in the future. ā
After the shopkeeper heard Zhuang Rui's words, he also knew that he was not a new hand, so he naturally never proposed to buy it with money.
Zhuang Rui took out a business card of the Jade Association and handed it to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper looked at it, and even called it rude, although the head of the director of the Jade Association is not big, it is also a semi-official person, which is also because he is too young, if he is older, he is an authority in the jade industry.
"Zhuang Rui, aren't you going to buy an inkstone? Let's go......"
Miao Feifei's temperament is completely opposite to her appearance, she was a little impatient after waiting for a while, it was easy to come to visit Pan Jiayuan once, she also wanted to go out and listen to a few more stories, this Pan Jiayuan is a picture of life.
"Okay, come with me, this "Shuyazhai" is also a time-honored brand in Panjiayuan, and I promise that the two of you will not return empty-handed. The shopkeeper saw that Miao Feifei was a little impatient, and hurriedly led the way in front.
Antiques are the most important communication, and Tibetan friends can only feel the fun of collecting in the process of communicating with others, so there is no such situation in this industry where literati are light, but everyone is willing to help each other and communicate with each other.
"Shu Ya Zhai" is not far from the shopkeeper's shop, more than ten meters away, as soon as he enters the store, a few guys greeted the shopkeeper, and they look very familiar.
"What about Brother Zhao, call him out, and I'll introduce him to a big customer. ā
As soon as the shopkeeper entered the door, he shouted, and did not regard himself as an outsider at all, and went to a square table in the middle of the shop and sat down.
This book is not very large, the area is about half smaller than the shopkeeper's shop, all kinds of ancient plaques are hung on the surrounding walls, there is a half-person high wooden frame around the store, which is full of various inkstones, on a wall of the store, hung with brushes of different sizes, as thin as wooden chopsticks, and the largest one, but it is like a mop, which makes people sigh.
"That old brother, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what do you have to take care of the younger brother?"
As he spoke, a middle-aged man in his forties came out of the inner hall, with a slightly fat figure, also wearing a one-piece gown, with a pair of glasses on his face, looking very elegant.
"This little brother wants to buy a set of study utensils, what good things can be taken out and put on display......," the shopkeeper pointed to Zhuang Rui and said.
"Oh, what does the little brother need?Is it a gift or a personal use?" Boss Zhao's eyes turned to Zhuang Rui.
"For the elders, Boss Zhao will help me introduce it, I don't know much about the study utensils. "Zhuang Rui practiced calligraphy for a few days when he was in elementary school, but that was all in the Year of the Monkey.
"Oh, the four treasures of the study needless to say, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, each has its own use, each has its own exquisite, the so-called: the name of the inkstone clear water, the ancient ink of the new hair, the habitual pen, the old paper, together is a whole set, let's take a look at this by the ancients known as the first of the four treasures of the study of the inkstone. ā
As Boss Zhao spoke, Zhuang Rui was lured to the edge of the shelf where the inkstone was placed, and said: "I have Duan Yan from Zhaoqing, Guangdong, She Yan from Anhui, Lu Yan from Shandong, Longwei Yan from Jiangxi, and Chengni Yan from Shanxi. ā
Zhuang Rui looked at the antique inkstone that Boss Zhao said, these inkstones are indeed simple in shape, the color is also a little old, and there is even a lack of edges and corners, presumably it was accidentally dropped when it was used, and then carefully checked with his eyes, it does contain aura, this Boss Zhao is not a mouthful.
"Boss Zhao, what is the price of your inkstone?"
After Zhuang Rui observed for a long time, he pointed to an inkstone and asked, it was an inkstone in the shape of a boy picking lotus, the inkstone was boat-shaped, a child wearing a belly pocket stood on the boat, reaching out to pick the lotus canopy on the lotus leaf, the whole inkstone stone is delicate, the carving is simple, the shape is extremely interesting, and Zhuang Rui observed through the aura, this is still an ancient inkstone, and he saved the mind of buying it.
"Little brother has a good eye, this is Yishui ancient inkstone, produced in Yishui, Hebei, but the price is not cheap. ā
"Oh, Boss Zhao, you can tell me a price...... Zhuang Rui doesn't care much about the price, this thing is a wish to give to the old man Gu, and it's nothing to spend a little more money.
"120,000, this inkstone was once used by Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang in the Qing Dynasty, and I have kept it in my hands for a few years, and I have not been willing to sell it......"
Don't say that Boss Zhao didn't believe it, but Miao Feifei on the side pouted, if it was Li Hongzhang who used it, it was a little possible, as for the reluctance to sell, I'm afraid the price was not negotiated, right?
After Zhuang Rui played with the inkstone, he said: "Let's take a look at the others first, Boss Zhao, you can help me pick a few good rice paper, and choose a good ink and brush, let's talk about the price after we are optimistic." ā
Zhuang Rui can still accept the price of this inkstone, he has troubled the old man so many times, and it is nothing to send an object of more than 100,000 yuan, you know, it is only the jade pendants carved by Gu Tianfeng for Zhuang Rui, if the fee is charged, there is no more than 100,000 yuan, and the old man will not accept this job.
Boss Zhao had been secretly paying attention to Zhuang Rui's reaction when he opened the price just now, and after seeing Zhuang Rui hear the price of 120,000, his face was still nonchalant, knowing that he had met a big customer, and he carefully selected a few other items for Zhuang Rui at the moment.
The brush is fragile and not easy to preserve, so the ancient pen that has been handed down to this day is really rare, and Boss Zhao does not have it here, and Zhuang Rui is equipped with an ivory pen tube, a wolf's tail brush, of course, the price is also expensive, and Boss Zhao opened his mouth to be 12,000.
