Chapter Seventy-Seven: Trouble Aside and Only Antiques
Immediately afterwards, the host immediately began to render the atmosphere, of course, the last sentence is always the same, so, what is the market value of this Kangxi Wucai? [}
Tang Feng asked Liu Yue softly, "Miss Liu, can you help estimate the price?"
According to the valuation law of porcelain shape, it is - one statue, two bottles, three pots, four washes, five goblets and six cup stoves. Seven plates, eight plates, nine miscellaneous pieces, ten look at the shape of the age. Ranking seventh is the plate, which is the first factor affecting the market of this colorful plate.
Although it is the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the birth of this colorful piece is not good, and this is related to the exhibition history of porcelain. The starting point of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty was very high, and when Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet become emperor, Jingdezhen was in his sphere of influence for a long time. The Hongwu period, which had a high starting point, was followed by the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty porcelain exhibition, which was Yongle and Xuande. However, after Yongxuan, Ming Dynasty porcelain was immediately beaten back to its original shape, and then Orthodoxy, Jingtai, and Tianshun became a blank period in the history of ceramic exhibitions. Although the porcelain of the Chenghua, Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties ushered in a new exhibition after the blank period, the decline has been irretrievable, and the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli in the late Ming Dynasty have become the last splendid porcelain of the Ming Dynasty. The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk, if the apocalypse is dusk, then Chongzhen is evening, and finally of course it is night.
In the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the official kiln has long been destroyed, no longer exists, to burn porcelain can only be through the kiln, Shunzhi reigned for a short time, but it is his last resort to encourage the policy of the kiln exhibition for Kangxi and even the entire Qing Dynasty porcelain exhibition pinnacle laid a solid foundation.
The creativity of the common people is endless, it is precisely because of the existence of the kiln, so that the exhibition of porcelain in just a few decades back to the peak, but Yongzheng and Qianlong have taken the old road of the past dynasties, unfortunately, this phenomenon has continued until now, the official kiln is the proof.
Kangxi reigned for a long time, and began to display the official kiln during his "tenure", and the original form of the official kiln in the Qing Dynasty was that the official and the people burned, so it would be difficult to distinguish between the official and the people.
This is the second factor that affects the market of this multicolored plate.
Huang Taiji never dreamed that he single-handedly created a dynasty that was shorter than the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji was not alone in the fight, his Aixin Jueluo family inherited the glorious tradition of the emperors of the past generations, and ushered in a new evening in the Guangxu period, and it was already dark when Xuantong ascended the throne.
Perhaps in order to miss the majesty of the ancestors, Guangxu did something that had a greater impact on the porcelain exhibition, and a large number of official kiln porcelain in his period were written in the Kangxi year.
It's chaotic enough here, and Guangxu over there has a whole person who sees things, which is the third factor affecting the market of this colorful plate.
The society has been developing, the productivity has been progressing, on the basis of the five colors, the Yongzheng period began to prevail pastel, the five colors gradually withdrew from the historical stage, and only a small amount of firing in later generations. The color of the five colors is bright and rich, the lines are clear, the firing temperature is slightly higher than the pastel, and not as soft as the pastel, so the five colors are also called "hard colors", which is relative to pastel, because pastels are also called "soft colors". For example, Wucai is like a glamorous noblewoman who raised a fresh and elegant daughter pastel, and in the end, the daughter took over her mother's class.
The difference between pastel and color is that pastel is mixed with a white color material "glass white" when painting, which has a milky effect, and the painted pattern can wave the characteristics of the rendering technique to present a kind of pastel feeling, so it is named "pastel". From this point of view, there is not much difference between pastel and color in principle, so the imitation of color in later generations is quite successful.
The imitation of Kangxi Wucai in the Guangxu period is the fourth factor affecting the market of this colorful plate.
This can be confirmed from the auction price, in the 2oo4 China Huachen spring auction, the transaction price of a Qing Kangxi imperial coral red ground colorful bowl is 4.95 million, which is also the transaction price record of Kangxi Wucai.
In short, the market price of all porcelain in the Kangxi period is much lower than its true value, the same is colorful, Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty is 27oo thousand, but Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty is only 4.95 million, and the shape factor is not enough to form such a big gap.
Tang Feng felt that the most collectible value in porcelain was not Yuan blue and white and enamel color, but ancient porcelain and Kangxi porcelain, because the market of the former was close to its peak.
Liu Yue stretched out a finger to Tang Feng, her estimate was 1oo thousand, Tang Feng asked the Hong Kong boss: "Boss, what is the price of this thing?"
The Hong Kong boss glanced at the colorful plate in Tang Feng's hand and said to him: "Sir, you have a good eye, this is the colorful of the authentic Kangxi period, the price is 1.68 million!"
Tang Feng said: "This is an imitation of the Guangxu period, it is not worth so much, but it is also an ancient antique, I will also say a fixed price, 880,000." β
The Hong Kong boss said: "I'll hit the street for 880,000 yuan, is your counteroffer too ruthless?"
Tang Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I want it or not, that's all, it's up to you whether you sell it or not." Then, Tang Feng turned to Liu Yue and said, "Let's go." β
"Hmm. Liu Yue nodded knowingly, took Tang Feng's arm and walked outside the antique shop.
The identification of Kangxi porcelain is very difficult, there are not a few eye-catching, Tang Feng can be sure that this boss is not completely sure, and Tang Feng's counteroffer is not ruthless, the counteroffer of antique transactions is not the most ruthless, only more ruthless, and the price of hundreds of thousands of counteroffers is more. Sure enough, before Tang Feng and the others walked out of the store, the voice of the Hong Kong boss came from behind him, and he said: "Okay, I'll suffer a loss and sell it to you!"
Tang Feng smiled back and said, "Lei Zao will tell me." β
"Huh. Hearing Tang Fengxin's broken Cantonese, Liu Yue smiled and bent over.
Then, Tang Feng walked out of the "tire glaze" with the colorful plate, and the two of them took the escalator from the halfway point of Taiping Mountain all the way down. Tang Feng said to Liu Yue: "The antique market in Hong Kong is not as easy to mix as I imagined, and it took a morning to find a piece of current price. β
"Be content. Liu Yue asked Tang Feng with interest: "How did you think of a counteroffer of 880,000?"
Tang Feng said with a smile: "I won't tell you, I only have so many around me now, and I want to be afraid of trouble, so I have to pour everything I have, and he doesn't sell it." β
"I see. Liu Yue said: "It seems that your lotus petal hexagonal plate is sold in a timely manner." β
"I'm a loser now, and the bank still owes a lot of debt. Tang Feng's words were heavy, but his tone was relaxed.
Liu Yue said: "Don't pretend to be poor there, you know that you will have a way." β
Tang Feng asked Liu Yuedao: "Shi Kefa's Shang Fang Sword was also auctioned on the last day, what are you going to do in the next few days?"
Liu Yue said: "This time I came with my mother, she will control me strictly once she is free, if you can come out, I will call you." β
Tang Feng vaguely felt that Zhu Biwei strictly controlled Liu Yue as if it was because of herself, the previous Liu Yue was very free, it seemed that the vigilance of the Zhu family was quite high, thinking of this, Tang Feng vaguely guessed who Liu Yue's fiancΓ© was.
"What are you thinking?" Liu Yue lightly touched Tang Feng's arm, and Tang Feng said a little helplessly: "What can I think, I have to do this first." β
On the streets of Central, where people come and go, Tang Feng and Liu Yue stood opposite each other, and Tang Feng, who was holding a colorful plate, asked Liu Yue: "The situation is already very clear, what are your plans?"
Liu Yue said: "There is no need to plan, no one can force me, and neither can my family. β
If there is no Mu Yu, for Liu Yue, even if it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire Tang Feng in front of him, he will not frown, but now he can't, the man still has to talk about responsibility, Mu Yu has no place to be sorry for him Tang Feng, Tang Feng's principles of life make him unable to do certain things, there is no lack of leakage between him and Liu Yue, but he has a psychological burden. However, thinking about it the other way, can he watch Liu Yue become someone else's bride?
Liu Yue saw Tang Feng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said: "Sometimes I also think about the problems between the two of us, and I even think that we seem to have more like-minded ingredients, because we can only be completely undisturbed by these trivial things in the antique market." Tang Feng, still the same sentence, everything goes naturally, we don't need to be too deliberate, there will always be a result in the end. β
"Liu Yue. Tang Feng said to Liu Yue very seriously: "It's me who is sorry for you." β
"Fool, don't say that. Liu Yue said: "Do you think I will like a man who has always abandoned him? I said that I would not embarrass you." β
Tang Feng said helplessly: "Even if you don't say it, you will think about it in your heart." β
Liu Yue clenched her small fist and punched Tang Feng in the chest, she said with a smile: "Although we are about the same age, I always feel that we seem to have a generation gap, now in 2o1o years, are you facing the times a little?"
Tang Feng nodded and admitted: "It seems that I am a little outdated, okay, continue to go with the flow, it is necessary to come sooner or later." β
"Come here, I'll whisper to you. Liu Yue hooked her finger at Tang Feng, Tang Feng leaned over her ear as she said, Liu Yue quickly kissed Tang Feng on the mouth, and then she jumped back and said to Tang Feng: "Goodbye, fool." β
Then, Liu Yue ignored Tang Feng anymore, turned around and waved to stop a taxi, Tang Feng watched Liu Yue get into the car, beckoned to him, the taxi started, and Liu Yue disappeared with the taxi...... Hong Kong is just a small place, but the film and television industry is very good, many places have appeared in TV dramas, including Central, just like the protagonist in the TV series, in the low background music, Tang Feng turned around slowly, handed over the heavy back to the screen, there is a feeling, called thoughtful.
The material of the TV series comes from life, Tang Feng didn't see it, and in a corner, there was really a camera facing him.
The next morning, Tang Feng received a text message on his mobile phone that Christie's had transferred 4.952 million yuan of auction proceeds after deducting 20 percent of the commission fee into his account. After washing, Tang Feng was just about to walk out of the room when there was a knock on the door, he opened the door of the room, it was the hotel staff, he said politely to Tang Feng: "Excuse me, Mr. Tang, there was a guest last night who asked us to hand you a letter." β
Tang Feng took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the staff, and took the envelope from his hand, after the staff left, Tang Feng closed the door and opened the envelope, the new content was very simple - Mr. Tang, can you meet alone? If you are free, there is a taxi waiting for you at the entrance of the hotel, Lan.
Lan Qi wanted to see him alone, Tang Feng was quite embarrassed, but not because he was afraid, his grandfather's words were still in his ears, and it was really inconvenient for him to meet Lan Qi alone, Tang Feng felt that he was now like solving an unsolvable equation, hitting a wall everywhere, and stepping on the land of Hong Kong seemed to be the beginning of trouble.
Tang Feng soon came to the gate of the hotel, a taxi came quickly, and the driver said to Tang Feng: "Mr. Tang, please get in the car." β
Tang Feng got in the car, the taxi started, and after leaving the hotel for some distance, Tang Feng said to the driver: "I'm sorry, please stop." β
"Mr. Tang, we have no ill intentions. "The taxi driver is from the Lan family.
Tang Feng said: "I don't like to be followed, please tell Miss Lan, I will have many opportunities to meet her, but not these days." The other party found the hotel where Tang Feng was staying to disturb Tang Feng's normal life, but Tang Feng didn't dislike Lan Qi, he didn't see her just because of his grandfather.
The taxi driver stopped on the side of the road according to his words, and he said to Tang Feng: "Mr. Tang, we will never force you." β
Tang Feng ignored him, opened the car door and got out of the car and left directly, more than half an hour later, Tang Feng appeared on Hollywood Road again, too lazy to think about the troublesome things, it is better to dig out more antiques. However, without Liu Yue, it seems that there is no luck, Tang Feng has been shopping for most of the day without any gain, so he has to leave in a huff. One day was nothing, and the next day Tang Feng also found nothing in Hollywood. On the third day, Tang changed to Morro Street, which is very close to Hollywood Road, which is also the heart of the antique market, but nothing came of it, as was the case on the fourth and fifth days.
A week has wasted four days in vain, tomorrow night is the last night of Christie's spring auctions, the unrelenting Tang Feng came to Moro Street again, this time he had to clean up the dead corners that he had not been to before, and he must be patient when digging antiques in the antique market, and he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Morro Street used to be a famous red light district in Hong Kong, and I don't know where to start, Ji Yuan began to make a big leap forward and changed it into an antique shop that has nothing to do with the wind and horses.
The Western world has a great influence on Hong Kong and even the whole of China, because porcelain is the most sought after Chinese antiques in the international market, so most of the shops in the Hong Kong antique market have porcelain for sale, and the probability is placed there, and the real antique porcelain is definitely a minority, so Tang Feng has been shopping for most of the day. At this moment, Tang Feng walked into an antique shop called "Long Xingchang", not afraid of not knowing the goods, just afraid of comparing goods, porcelain identification also has a knack, like Tang Feng can completely sweep the goods with his eyes, the same kind of porcelain, genuine and fake will definitely be different together, so, not long after Tang Feng walked into the store, he saw a treasure that stood out from the crowd in a pile of porcelain, these days have experienced too many heartbeats of hope and disappointment, Tang Feng's current state of mind is very peaceful, he saw a bucket color.
