Chapter 288: Crying and Laughing
Of course, the word "perfect" in Jia Rudao's words is still a bit sycophant in it.
After all, in terms of the style of Jun porcelain's "out of the kiln", these pieces of Jun porcelain collected by Xu Lao are the best in the Jun porcelain fragments. It is extremely rare that all kinds of sè colored broken porcelain pieces can be placed together. If you want to put it together perfectly, it's a bit hard.
If the layout of the whole background is very grand, it is easier to say. However, as far as the small four screens in front of you are concerned, it is really difficult to achieve perfection!
However, even so, what Jia Rudao said is not without a certain amount of truth. What's more, the current situation of Jia Yidao is being tested by all experts. It is still necessary to say something "sycophant".
Sure enough, as soon as Jia Yidao's words fell, Xu Lao on the other end took the lead in praising and said, "Good! Very good! Xiao Jia's ability is not bad, and his analysis is very reasonable." But......" Xu Lao hesitated slightly, as if he was not used to Jia Yidao's appreciation of his works, "However, Xiaoyou, such an appreciation of this four-screen still makes the old man very ashamed." ”
Come to think of it, the people who can sit here are all the owners of the antique street shops, no matter how bad they are, that is, Ah San and Jia Yidao. Jia Nidao is preparing to open his own shop, judging from the current test situation, it is only a matter of time before Jia Nidao can enter their circle.
And Ah San, because of the relationship between Mr. Wei, Mr. Xu can't treat him as a layman, right?
In this way, I think of what Xu Lao deliberately proposed before, which made Jia Rudao feel a little boastful about such a Jun porcelain four-fan screen that Xu Lao handled by himself.
Fortunately, Jia Yidao's appreciation is very appropriate. There is nothing particularly obvious flattering in the stated sentences. It's no wonder that when Xu Lao said the end, even the title of Jia Nidao changed from "Xiao Jia" to "Little Friend". This undoubtedly shows that as far as Xu Lao's personal meaning is concerned, he has accepted Jia Yidao into their circle.
Although Xu Lao's identity is only the boss of "Qianmoxiang", he is not professionally engaged in the antique industry, nor does he open an antique shop or anything on the antique side of the main antique street, but Xu Lao's connections are still very good. Otherwise, these people in front of them would not have chosen the meeting place of this test Jia Nidao in the "Qianmoxiang" teahouse.
Therefore, when he heard Xu Lao's name for Jia Nidao, Jia Nidao was still a little dazed and unaware. Ah San on the side, but his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously touched Jia Yidao's elbow, with a little happy smile in his eyes.
The other bosses on the side naturally glanced at Jia Nidao happily, and then took a sip of tea, and suddenly, the tense atmosphere deliberately created by Jia Nidao in the previous test quickly faded.
"Speaking of which, the preciousness of this Jun porcelain lies in its difficulty in firing!" Zhou Fugui said at this time, maybe he wanted to explain something, "Everyone knows that the 'kiln change' thing, it is half artificial, half dependent, but natural." This contains the potter's skill, experience and mastery of the fire, but also has a lot of accidental factors, so the potters often say that 'it is the same', which is the reason. Even I, for Xu Lao, can collect so many pieces of Jun porcelain at once, and I deliberately made a four-screen screen, but I am so envious. ”
"Xiao Zhou, you kid also came to laugh at my old man. Xu Lao smiled faintly and said, "However, old man, I really like this thing." This porcelain screen, but I bought it in the antique shop over there in Běi Jīng Liuli Factory more than 20 years ago, and it can be regarded as a treasure that I am more proud of. ”
Speaking of which, who in this private room doesn't have a few proud collections in their hands?
It's like Zhou Fugui, his collection, Jia Rudao has seen it. Even if it is Jia Rudao himself, this newcomer who started with Jade and his party, really has a few porcelain treasures at hand. At least, the "Five Pieces of the Qing Palace" can definitely be regarded as treasures.
However, Ah San on the side of Jia Rudao is relatively shabby.
"Hehe, if you say that, Old Xu. Then, like me and Ah San, wouldn't it be just to find a few pieces of porcelain to open the door at random. No matter what age it is, you don't need to be very precious, just get it all together, make a four-screen or something, I can't say, it can also be regarded as a treasure. Jia Rudao said as if he was joking.
Of course, that's what happened, and in Jia Rudao's heart, he suddenly remembered that there were a lot of broken porcelain pieces in his home. If that comes to fruition, it's actually a lot of fun. It's just that if you want to be more like Xu Lao, using the precious Huanghuali to make four screens, Jia Rudao pondered, it was still a bit of a waste.
It's better to find some ordinary mahogany, and it should be about the same.
Moreover, Jia Rudao's collection of broken porcelain pieces is not very demanding, just to learn the collection of porcelain. It's too beautiful, but it loses the original meaning of collecting broken porcelain pieces, and it feels like the gains outweigh the losses. Of course, Jia Rudao thinks about it, it is nothing more than that at present, there are no good materials in his hands, such as Huanghuali and the like, and there are no good broken porcelain pieces, such as Jun porcelain and the like, otherwise, Jia Rudao will definitely not mind that in his collection, there is one more collection similar to Xu Lao's current Jun porcelain four screens, right?
In the following time, Xu is everyone acquiesced to Jia Rudao's entry into the circle of antique street. What he said, there was nothing special about xìng, everyone was chatting happily. Even Ah San, in this, also said it. Especially when it comes to one of them, the process of buying wooden furniture is really laughable.
"Let's just say it's in a county and city near Linhai County. There's a nice furniture store there!" Ah San said with some viciousness. The name of the furniture city, Jia Rudao has also heard of it, to put it nicely, it is a furniture city, not to sound good, it is a place to collect rags, and there are a lot of things recycled, which are nothing more than wooden furniture.
Jia Rudao's impression of these furniture collectors is still stuck when he was a child, many people, walking in the countryside, asking door to door whether there is antique furniture for sale, such as wooden beds, or wooden carved windows and doors. At that time, at Jia Nidao's age, he naturally didn't know why the very simple wooden bed at home could be exchanged for a lot of money.
Even the so-called "a lot of money", in the eyes of Jia Nidao now, is just staying in the world of a child's vision.
However, it is undeniable that these people who collect furniture, such a move of going to the countryside to collect, sometimes, can really encounter good antique furniture. Although the quality is not very high, and it is rare for anyone to sell their best antiques cheaply, even if it is something that is on the edge of the level, after being collected by these vendors, there is still a lot of profit margin during the period.
No, Ah San said: "I usually go over there for three or two months." Let's see if there's anything good, sometimes, I really picked up a few gadgets, and maybe I picked them up. And just a while ago, I received a nice pen holder. It also belongs to the root carving category, although the material is not as good as Huanghuali and red sandalwood, but because the carving kung fu is good, it is also quite affordable to keep it for fun. However, just last month, I encountered something over there that made me cry and laugh. ”
"Oh?" Jia Rudao was still very curious at the time, and asked very cooperatively, "Can there be anything that makes you cry and laugh?"
"What's so strange about that. Ah San immediately glanced at Jia Rudao angrily and said, "At that time, when I went over there, I passed by." In itself, it's still a bit of a business. However, when I was passing by, I happened to see a familiar boss, standing there, because the goods had just arrived, so he was busy. I wasn't helpful, so I went over to help right away. It's over, it can be regarded as a good deed, good deeds are rewarded, and it just so happened that I saw four chairs on the side......"
Speaking of this, Xu is talking about happiness, and Ah San's tone has become a lot lighter.
Even the expressions of Jia Nidao and the others on the side were slightly moved. After all, judging from Ah San's tone, he should have encountered something good, right? Otherwise, Ah San's xìng would definitely not be taken out.
However, Ah San was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he said very plainly: "Let's just say that the four chairs I looked at are not the kind of backrests, but very simple, just a wooden pier, and those oval stone piers in the park, about the same size, and some carvings are carved on them." As for the texture, I figured it should be an old mahogany. What type, for a while, I don't know what it is. ”
"Ah San, you kid, now you know that when the book is used, you don't hate it anymore, right?"
"Not really. Ah San smiled and continued, "However, even when I was on the spot, I didn't quite understand it, but I still knew it was a good thing." So, I asked the boss, how much does this thing cost?"
"Tens of thousands?" Jia Yidao saw a hint of inquiry in Ah San's eyes, and immediately did not hesitate, and said a number more cooperatively.
"Where are there tens of thousands, the boss and I are a little familiar, so I made a comparison, three thousand. Ah San said with certainty, "In my heart, I am naturally happy." Could it be, it was really because I got out of the car and did me a favor, so I picked up a leak?...... Soon, though, I calmed down. I carefully checked the stools again, and they looked very good. Then he said, pack it together, and send it to the waterfront for me. ”
"Could it be that when you packed it back, something went wrong?" asked the boss on the side, who seemed to be silent and didn't speak much.
"Lao Liu, you're in a hurry, I think, Ah San, this kid, is deliberately hanging on our appetite. Zhou Fugui said with a smile, "Especially Lao Liu, you are a player yourself, and when you hear that something good has appeared, you can't hold back your mood, but you are in the way of Ah San." ”
"I said, Ah San, you are usually a very neat person, at this time, how can you talk about it, intermittently. Lao Liu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Dare to love is deliberately hanging my appetite, I can tell you, if you don't take down those four stools, let me go there later, I won't agree." ”
"Well, Boss Liu, what you said. It's really ......," Ah San sighed and said, "It's really a bit difficult for a strong man." Well, I'll be succinct. At that time, the boss naturally agreed on the spot. However, what makes me a little funny is that the price of three thousand is not the price of four stools, but the price of one......"
"Just such a little thing, can you still cry and laugh?" Lao Liu was a little unhappy when he heard this. On the contrary, it was Jia Yidao, looking at Ah San's eyes, a little playful. Presumably, if the story ends here, I'm afraid Ah San will also come up with it.
Sure enough, just when Jia Yidao looked at Ah San, a smile appeared on Ah San's face and said, "Boss Liu, this is just the beginning." I figured to myself, things are pretty good. Three thousand handfuls, just three thousand handfuls, anyway, I looked at it carefully and thought it was worth it. So, I talked to the other party about the price. In the end, four stools were sold for 10,000 yuan, and I was very happy. Then, I went to work. …… When it's over, when you return to the sea, wait until the four stools are in hand. As a result, when I opened it, I took out a stool, and tsk, it was really a good thing, but when I took out the second handful, the more I looked at it, the more wrong it became? It's not that the stool looks like it's something, there's something wrong. As far as they look, they are very similar to a handful, or rather, they are carved out of a mill. However, in terms of materials, it is wrong. Immediately, I called. I said, "Why is it that only one of the four stools in my hands is true, and the other three are all modern anti-products?" Do you guess how the other party answered? The people were also very honest and said very sincerely, 'Ah San, let me tell you honestly, there is still one in your batch of goods that is true, and it is already very good.' That's it, or the result of my special advice, don't let your Ah San go back empty-handed. If others buy it, whether it is real or not depends on luck. Ah San, you also understand people, if you really want 10,000 yuan, you can get four real stools like this, you say that I have been a long time ago, and what kind of small business ...... 'At that time, I was holding the phone and was stunned, which made people very speechless......
"Hehe, it seems that you really look like you're crying and laughing. After listening to Ah San's narration, Jia Rudao couldn't help but nod his head.
Speaking of which, in the antique industry, encountering such a similar thing, it is really depressing enough. However, don't say it, even so, knowing that he has suffered a small loss, Ah San has no good way. Take it back and return it to others? It is clear that the boss who is a little familiar with Ah San, and he said it in his words, it is for the sake of Ah San's face, he has already given a handful of real things, what else can you do?
If you don't want it, others may really want it.
In the final analysis, it is still an antique line, many things are marked with unknown prices, and the market competition is not perfect enough. So, just after Ah San told the story of his own personal experience, the owners of some other antique shops in the private room also expressed their opinions, as if this gathering for Jia Yidao's test soon became an exchange meeting.
However, what makes Jia Nidao happy is that it is precisely because of the change of atmosphere that Jia Nidao can integrate into such a circle faster. As for the owners of the shops in the antique street, they will have some ways to make their shops stand in the antique street without falling, and some business methods are an eye-opener for Jia Rudao.
I have the feeling of listening to your words and reading a book for ten years!
At the end, when the meeting is about to be dispersed. Uncle Zhou Fugui, but he brought up Jia Yidao's jade shop again, and specifically inquired about when it will open, when the time comes, these people present will go to the scene, naturally there is no need to say, some others, the bosses who did not come today, I am afraid there are still a lot.
"Uncle Zhou, the specific opening time of this jade shop has not yet been decided. However, the store is already being renovated. The rest is the problem of supply, which is gradually being solved, and I think that in another month, it is estimated that it will be able to open. Roughly, I'm going to set it for the National Day. Although Jia Rudao said it to Zhou Fugui when he spoke, the content of these words was more aimed at the other bosses on the side.
"During the National Day?" Zhou Fugui nodded. said, "It's a good rì." However, Xiao Jia, because you are opening a jade shop, so, when the time comes, you have to pay more attention to the situation on Yang Qi's side!"
