Chapter Ninety-Three: The Ancient Palace Lamp
It can be seen that the old man is a real master of flower appreciation, and according to his speculation, He Tan's two pots of flowers will not live for more than two days before they will wither.
Hearing this kind of remarks, and he was embarrassed to take back the two pots of fraudulent peonies and give them away, He Tan wanted to throw them away on the spot.
"Hey, don't throw it!" Yang Fan immediately stopped.
"You don't want this thing to live for two days. If you like it, I'll see something else later!" He Tan said.
Yang Fan shook his head: "I'm not interested in flowers, that flower pot is still worth some money, and someone should ask for 10,000 thousand." This kind of porcelain basin at the end of the Qing Dynasty has survived too much and will not be too valuable. ”
Hearing this, He Tan's mood finally improved a lot. At least by mistake, he also hit two pieces, although they were not very valuable.
"I didn't expect me to have this luck. ”
As soon as He Tan spoke, Yang Fan had nothing to say. Is this luck or bad luck? You spent 100,000 yuan to get back 100,000 or 20,000 yuan of flower pots.
Walking and walking, I came to a store that specializes in selling lanterns. Inside, Yang Fan also saw Hu Wei. I saw him wander around the room, and finally stopped in front of a tall lamp that looked quite old.
"Have you also wandered here?" Hu Wei also spotted Yang Fan.
"I'll just take a look, and I'll be faster. ”
The two didn't continue to talk, don't look at Hu Wei's usual foul language, as if he wasn't serious, but when he was really serious, he was completely involved and not affected by the outside world.
Yang Fan was also looking at the ancient lamp, which was a kind of bronze casting, with exquisite patterns on it, and it was one person high. However, the lampshade paper is new, and even some patterns are painted for more aesthetics.
China's ancient lamp culture has a long history, in the long history of more than 2,000 years, tens of thousands of ancient lamps and lanterns have been handed down, they have different shapes, thousands of postures, or bronze, or ceramics, or bamboo and wood, the small one is only one hand, and the big one is the lintel. It is not easy for folk collectors to classify them.
"Two, this is an ancient lamp, and it is very well preserved, if you like it, I will give it to you cheaper. The boss said with a smile.
As soon as he saw that cheap smiling face, Yang Fan felt that this guy was definitely a pit and a profiteer.
"Oh, let's hear it, what's the origin?" Yang Fan said.
The boss quickly entered the play, and in a blink of an eye, he began to brew feelings and tell the story in a matter-of-fact manner. Well, it's still so old-fashioned, and what kind of ancestral heirlooms, what kind of family difficulties, and then he took it out, and it happened to be received by him, and so on.
Yang Fan and Hu Wei are not idiots, they are tired of hearing this kind of thing.
"Damn, boss, can you change something new? I've heard this three times today. Hu Wei couldn't help but interrupt the boss's continued boasting.
That guy was also very thick-skinned, and when he heard this, he was not embarrassed at all, and smiled very naturally: "Two of you, what I just said is true!"
When he said this, Hu Wei didn't want to delve into it anymore.
Actually, the main thing is to see that the lampshade is still new, which is not interesting, at most it is half an antique. And since the boss knows that it is an ancient lamp, it is impossible to sell it cheaply.
"Do you still want to watch it?" Hu Wei asked Yang Fan.
"Don't you see it?" Yang Fan asked rhetorically.
"It's boring, forget it, you can watch it casually, I'll go first. After speaking, without waiting for Yang Fan to speak, the guy resolutely walked out without any nostalgia, which made the boss quite a pity.
Yang Fan hid the surprise in his eyes deeply, and no one found out. He carefully examined the lampshade and found that there were two layers, and immediately relieved himself.
"What's the matter, isn't it?" The boss still had that smiling expression, and Yang Fan felt a little impulsive to beat people when he saw it.
This boss doesn't look at him as if he is not worried about selling, but in fact, he is also panicked. It was right that he had received it, so he was so sure that it was an antique, and it hadn't been picked up by those hateful antiques yet.
However, because he re-covered the lampshade with paper, he was disgusted by many people. Some people just want to take a lamppost and go.
Originally, it didn't matter, he didn't care if he could sell it for money. But those guys refused to pay one by one, thinking that when he was wronged, was his old Yuan stupid?
And now, seeing that a young man is interested, he immediately drives up at full speed, ready to throw this hot potato out.
"The above part seems to be very new!" Yang Fan asked knowingly.
"Ahem, you can just take the lamppost, it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid to be honest, the lampshade has indeed been dealt with by me. The boss confessed helplessly.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that the lamp paper is new. He couldn't hide this. Therefore, simply confess and gain some favor.
At this time, another person walked in, and it turned out to be an acquaintance.
"I ran into it so quickly! What? Did you see anything good?" The drunkard Liang Mingjian was normal this time, and he was not as rampant as holding the wine bottle in his hand.
"Yo, boss, just look at it. The boss here immediately spoke.
Liang Mingjian also came over, looked at the ancient lamp for a while, and did not open his mouth to comment, saving Yang Fan's transaction. As an old man in the antique circle, he still understands these rules very well.
If the boss doesn't know, hears your comments, and realizes the preciousness of this item, then it will not be so easy to negotiate the price. In this way, it is possible to offend people.
The ancient lamp he thinks is an object from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and as for the paper of the lampshade, the new goods, which can be seen by any passer-by.
The Sui and Tang dynasties were a period of major development of China's feudal society, and under the situation of unification, the cultural accumulation of all aspects of the northern and southern dynasties was further integrated, and the most brilliant period of the development of ancient Chinese culture appeared.
In terms of lamps and lanterns, not only mass production of practical lamps and lanterns, but also the rapid development of lanterns with dual functions of lighting and decoration. The lanterns used in the Imperial Palace are called palace lanterns. Since then, ancient Chinese lamps and lanterns have developed in parallel along the two main lines of practical lamps and palace lamps.
And the one in front of me is obviously a floor-to-ceiling palace lamp, which is also quite valuable in ancient times.
"What price?" Yang Fan asked directly.
I'm afraid you won't even ask the price, turn around and leave. Asked the price, it means that you are tempted, as long as you are tempted, everything is easy to do.
"What about ten thousand?" said the boss with a smile.
"A thousand dollars, I believe this price is already the highest of all the offers. Yang Fan said quite confidently.
In fact, those people before really gave three or five hundred yuan, or even dozens of yuan to call them flowers.
"Ouch! There is no such bargaining! Nine thousand! Can't let me lose too much!" the boss showed a pained expression.
However, Yang Fan was not fooled and insisted on his offer. The boss lowered it several times in a row, and when he saw that this kid didn't get in the oil and salt, he was quite distressed, and finally groaned and sold it.
