Chapter 39: Three Birds with One Stone
Huo Xiaodong said, "I look like something from an old kiln!"
The old kiln mentioned here does not mean that the kiln mouth is very old. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This is a jargon that is not very commonly used now.
In the early years, fine porcelain was roughly divided into three categories: one was the official kiln of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the other was the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, and the other was the old kiln.
The old kiln generally refers to the fine porcelain before the Yuan Dynasty, including the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, such as the Xing kiln of the Yue kiln in the south of Qingbei Bai, including the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty - Ruguan Ge Junding, and also includes some well-known kilns.
Huo Xiaodong can say this, most of them learned from Shi Lao.
Sun Zhongyuan nodded, and before he could speak, Huo Xiaodong followed and said, "Dingyao?"
"Well, I didn't run! I've made a lot of money now!" Sun Zhongyuan said, "You can react! This thing is now ours!"
Huo Xiaodong first carefully handed the brocade box to Sun Zhongyuan and asked him to put it in front of the seat at his feet, and then he punched Sun Zhongyuan excitedly, "You are so amazing!
"Dingyao, don't look at the current statement, it is generally ranked at the bottom of the five famous kilns, but it is the earliest kiln mouth among the five famous kilns. Other Ru kilns, official kilns, Ge kilns, and Jun kilns were all only available in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and the Ding kiln was available in the Five Dynasties! This Ding kiln white porcelain scratch lid jar is something from the early Northern Song Dynasty. Sun Zhongyuan began to explain.
"My grandfather also told me this, your tone is really like when he said it!" Huo Xiaodong couldn't help but say.
What Sun Zhongyuan said was naturally taught by Xu Beiwu, and when he said it, he couldn't help but think of Xu Beiwu, and his tone and demeanor also changed, not like a young man anymore, so Huo Xiaodong felt a little similar to Shi Lao.
"This kind of lid jar is rare on the market now, and to be honest, it is a bit modern, and this jar looks too new, otherwise the man would not have taken the treasure (jargon, missing out on the treasure). Sun Zhongyuan continued.
In this antique shop, there is a saying called true and fake, and the main thing is porcelain. Very well preserved, very new, not at all like old stuff. Because of this treasure story, there are really a lot.
However, the real connoisseurs, looking at the old and the new, do not float on the surface. This old thing, it looks new, even if there are no traces, but the surface has undergone a long period of natural oxidation, and there is no thief light of newly fired porcelain.
At this time, Huo Xiaodong had already taken out his mobile phone to look up and look at the auction records of the Ding kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty over the years. However, I didn't find anything similar to this small jar, but there were at least a few of the more than 10 million things.
"How much do you think it's worth?"
"The disadvantage is that it's a little small, and then it's the bottom, the man is not a good thing, a little new bump, not a perfect product. Sun Zhongyuan thought for a while, "But if the shooting is done, I think it may exceed 10 million!"
Huo Xiaodong laughed, "A few million is good! What, no matter how much we can auction in the end, let's add two to five! Moreover, if you get it to our auction house, you will kill two birds with one stone!"
Sun Zhongyuan smiled, and said in his heart, for me, if I get it right, it may kill three birds with one stone!
As the jargon goes, it's better to be lying on your stomach than to be standing. This small pot is not like a plate that is lying on its stomach, nor is it as good as a bottle that is standing, even if it is squatting. In terms of value, it is naturally not comparable to the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln ear bottle, of course, it is not comparable to the real one, not the high imitation made by Xu Beiwu.
The autumn auction of Xingchen Auction House, the time is approaching, if you can't find something too suitable, this Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln flower lid jar, as the finale of the autumn auction, can also be said.
He and Huo Xiaodong are not only the auctioneers who hold the treasure, but they are also the employees of the auction house! Xingchen Auction House does not stipulate that employees cannot auction their own collections. In fact, there is no need to stipulate that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, and there is no need to avoid insiders. As long as there is one point, this thing must be genuine, and it is taboo to take advantage of the convenience of work to shoot fakes.
The so-called killing two birds with one stone: first, after deducting the commission, the money from the auction belongs to them; second, in line with the work procedures, the commission is paid, and the commission can still be paid, and it will be included in the year-end assessment as work performance.
Of course, the commission earned may not be as much as the commission handed over. But any auction house has to charge a commission, and if you find a buyer yourself, the price should be lower than the settlement price after deducting the commission.
The most important thing is Sun Zhongyuan's third, if this small pot of Dingyao is used as the finale lot, he can exchange it for a million with Yingliang grass!
A small pot of Dingyao won for 1,000 yuan, if there is really so much income in the end, this is really a big leak!
Sun Zhongyuan and Huo Xiaodong discussed, don't be in a hurry to get this thing back to the auction house first, and then talk about it for a few days.
In the afternoon, Chen Ping convened a meeting of the porcelain department, focusing on the imminent autumn auction, but the finale has not yet been finalized. The most promising ones are the porcelain department and the calligraphy and painting department, and I hope everyone will raise their spirits and run more.
At the same time, Chen Ping also did a self-examination, saying that he did not see that the lid of the Qianlong Doucai green dragon pattern lid jar was matched, but fortunately he found it in time, and praised Huo Xiaodong and Sun Zhongyuan by the way.
However, when they were praised, the expressions of the others were a little strange. Isn't this a slap in Director Chen's face? That is, they will not be in trouble if they do this. One is a big bull who broke the Xiangbao Bureau, and the other is Shi Lao's grandson, otherwise, Chen Ping's little shoes would not have been put on for them soon?
The Qianlong Doucai green dragon pattern lid jar will still be auctioned, but it will be auctioned according to the lack of lid.
As soon as he got off work, Sun Zhongyuan left, because he had already promised Chang Le.
Chang Le proposed that when he arrived in Dongshan Province and wanted to try Lu cuisine, Sun Zhongyuan booked a private room in a Lu restaurant.
After serving the dishes, the waiter was dismissed, and the two chatted while eating.
After drinking a few glasses, Chang Le used the strength of the wine to ask Sun Zhongyuan which internal kung fu he had practiced. But this Sun Zhongyuan couldn't answer, so he had to say that it might be because of his special physique, and he had eaten a lot of herbs, maybe it was unintentional!
Chang Le thought about it too, because Sun Zhongyuan didn't seem to be very good at controlling this kind of domineering internal force. However, Chang Le went on to teach Sun Zhongyuan a method of breathing and breathing, which is a very basic and correct method of entry.
Sun Zhongyuan silently wrote it down.
"This was taught to me by a master, but it took too long to accumulate internal strength, so I gave up later. And in a hurry, he practiced the Xuanbing Palm Method that he had inadvertently obtained, which resulted in the accumulation of cold qi. However, it is a blessing in disguise! Not to mention being saved by your punch, and the qi and veins are smooth, and the skill has greatly increased, this kung fu is now become!"
"Congratulations!" Sun Zhongyuan raised his glass, and then asked with some curiosity, "Brother Le, I see that you are different from your brother, what do you usually do?"
