Chapter 12: Antique Visions
(Ask for support, it's all been a change lately, but it's all big chapters, and I don't like to write small chapters of about 2,000 words.) There is a recommendation on the weekend, and there will be two more next week, please give you a count of tickets!)
On the ancient streets of Jiangzhou, in addition to those time-honored shops, almost all of them are antique shops, which is also the place where Jiangzhou's cultural characteristics gather.
Walking a hundred meters from Renhetang, all of them are antique shops, and there are stalls selling some antiques on the street. However, listening to those hawkers say that the brand-new bronze wine glasses on the stalls are antiques of the Warring States Period, which were used by Qin Shi Huang when he was young, and are worth tens of millions, he knows that the words of these people must not be believed a little.
Wang Cheng took his sister Wang Yuanyuan's little hand, followed behind Li Zhengxiang and Li Lao, and looked left and right, he rarely came here before, and in the past two years, he would come here to shop around when he had free time, and look at the treasures of the town store and other things in those stores, because he has been particularly interested in ancient culture in recent years.
Li Zhengxiang is proudly telling Tang Lele about his experience, and his knowledge in antiques, although he is in the jewelry industry, but jewelry and antiques are almost not separated, but the antiques industry is more professional, the requirements for cultural heritage are too high, so it is more difficult to get started, but antique dealers and antique experts are two types of people, as a businessman, do not need to know too much professional knowledge.
"Lele, you see that this Xuande furnace is obviously fake, the color is too new, even if it is a fake thing, it can deceive those newcomers. β
Li Zhengxiang hasn't seen Tang Lele for some years, when he was a child, he was very beautiful when he saw this girl, but now that she has grown so big, she has become a big beauty, as a young man's instinctive impulse, she naturally wants to show herself well in front of a beautiful woman.
Seeing Tang Lele's interested look, Li Zhengxiang had a kind of pride in pointing out the country and holding the beauties in his hands, but he didn't notice that most of Tang Lele's expressions were still paying attention to Wang Cheng next to him.
Li Lao was walking on the side, looking at it calmly, he wouldn't say anything, he knew almost all of these people, they were all acquaintances, and those antique shops were old neighborhoods for many years, so talking too much would offend people.
"Brother, do you know how to identify antiques?"
Wang Yuanyuan looked up at Wang Cheng and asked curiously.
Wang Cheng shook his head: "I won't, I haven't read a book on this." β
Li Zhengxiang turned back to Wang Cheng and smiled: "Xiao Cheng, you can work hard in this area, if you are not admitted to university, come to me, accumulate some experience, and become a master in the future, the income is not low, just help others see something, it is tens of thousands." β
Tang Lele winked at Wang Cheng, meaning: Are you happy to hear this?
Wang Cheng really smiled, and smiled at Li Zhengxiang: "Thank you, Brother Zhengxiang, but I didn't think about doing this work, and besides, I will definitely be admitted to university." β
Li Zhengxiang nodded, his expression was obviously a little disapproving, he heard his grandfather Li Lao say that Wang Cheng was skipping classes most of the time and working part-time jobs everywhere to make money, and his academic performance was a poor mess, it would be strange if such grades could be admitted to college, and his family had no money to give him a mixed diploma from Pheasant University, so he felt that after Wang Cheng graduated from high school, he could only go to work to earn money to support her sister, but he was still sick, and he couldn't do some hard and tiring work.
Therefore, he felt that Wang Cheng's life in the future would be difficult and bitter.
Li Lao didn't like Li Zhengxiang to speak like this, and said: "Zhengxiang, Xiao Cheng's medical skills are very powerful, even if he doesn't go to school in the future, he can easily find a job, and I can't invite him if I want to." β
Li Zhengxiang's eyes flashed with a hint of unnaturalness, and he smiled: "Oh? Then Xiao Cheng should ask my grandfather more for advice." "When I turned my head, I saw a large gate in front of me, which was a signboard on the ancient street, and it was also the most famous antique shop, Gu Yuexuan, an antique shop that existed in ZΓ i during the Qianlong period.
"Grandpa, have you seen Gu Gu recently?"
Li Zhengxiang asked curiously.
Li Lao shook his head: "The old man tinkered with his antique things all day long, I heard that he was preparing an antique exchange meeting in Jiangzhou recently, and he was busy in the dark, how could he have time to talk to me for tea and chat." β
Gu Yuexuan's owner's surname is Gu, this store has been passed down from generation to generation, and Li Lao's Renhetang is also a world friend, they are all on the same street, and they have known each other for generations.
"Then let's go and have a look, this time I came back to pay a special visit to the ancient, ask his old man for advice, and by the way, it would be best if I could borrow something. β
Li Zhengxiang smiled confidently, and several people walked into Gu Yuexuan together.
Tang Lele said curiously: "Zhengxiang, you want to borrow something from the ancients, and your company wants to exhibit it?"
Li Zhengxiang nodded: "Well, in the spring of next year, our company is going to prepare for an auction in Donghai City, which has been prepared for a month, and there is still half a year to borrow something to support the faΓ§ade. β
Tang Lele immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I must go to the auction when the time comes, I haven't participated in this kind of auction yet, there must be a lot of treasures, right?"
"Then for sure, now we have a piece of Yuan blue and white in our hands, and a few pieces of Tang and Song dynasty gold, and now a few pieces of high-end jade and other antiques, and the rest of us will raise some fine exhibits, which is enough to hold an auction." β
Li Zhengxiang's face was full of confidence and strategizing.
Yuan Qinghua and Tang and Song Dynasty goldware are extremely valuable things, often millions of market prices, Li Zhengxiang can get these things to open an auction, is indeed proud of the capital, such an auction, other auction items are not too bad, will definitely shake the entire collection world, for Li Zhengxiang's company to make a reputation.
Li Lao said: "Zhengxiang, do things steadily." β
Li Zhengxiang smiled: "Grandpa, don't worry, I know, my dad is watching, you know that he will definitely not let me come here, borrow ancient things, you have to help me talk." β
Li Lao frowned slightly, noncommittal, the ancient leader has been busy preparing for the antique exchange meeting recently, and good things will definitely not be lent out lightly, he himself still needs good things to support the field, and walked into Gu Yuexuan with gentle steps.
Wang Cheng and Wang Yuanyuan walked behind silently, the little girl looked around curiously, Wang Cheng listened to Li Zhengxiang and Tang Lele's words, and looked at Gu Yuexuan's plaque, here he has been here, Gu Yuexuan is not famous in Jiangzhou, and there are two things that are very famous in the collection world.
One of them is a practice painting of Tang Bohu, and the other is the Yuan Qinghua mentioned by Li Zhengxiang before, although it is only a small bowl, it is also priceless, and both of them can be said to be national treasures.
Wang Cheng used to come to Gu Yuexuan, and he also came here to see Tang Yin's paintings and Yuan blue and white bowls. A few years ago, the Yuan blue and white Guiguzi went down the mountain to set a record of more than 200 million yuan, which shocked the world, and the blue and white porcelain has also been known to the world since then, and the ordinary people know that it is a national treasure.
"Elder Li is here. β
Gu Yuexuan's shopkeeper saw that Li Lao was coming, and hurriedly came out to say hello, it was early in the morning, and no one came, the guys in the store were cleaning and wiping antiques, but what was placed outside were some gadgets, or handicrafts, and the shopkeeper Gu Wensheng was tidying up the counter.
Li Lao smiled and said: "Zhengxiang is back, I said to come and shop, I haven't seen your old man for a long time, just come in and take a look, Wensheng, how is the business lately?"
Gu Wensheng smiled at Li Zhengxiang, the two have known each other for many years, and said with a wry smile: "Zhengxiang is doing business in the south, but I don't know the difficulty of our small stores. β
"Our antiques, not everyone needs them, it all depends on luck, bad luck is eye-catching, and several years of hard work may be lost at once. β
Li Zhengxiang and Tang Lele both smiled and didn't speak, meaning that they didn't want to expose Gu Wensheng's words, in recent years, the antique industry has been bullish every year, which everyone can see, many people in the big 6 are rich, what do they do when they have money? Pretending to be forced, buying land, buying land and building buildings can make more money.
So how do you spend money to pretend to be forced?
Yes, buy antiques, buy luxury goods.
This is the main reason why the prices of antiques and jewelry and jade in the mainland have been rising in recent years.
More than ten years ago, a pair of Tang Yin's calligraphy and paintings was millions, but now? If you don't have tens of millions, you are embarrassed to shout the price, and the surrounding pretending peers will despise you, and you are embarrassed to pretend to be this money?
Therefore, the antique industry is all about the business of local tyrants, and those who eat big households will make a steady profit without losing money as long as they come step by step.
It has not been opened for three years, but it has been open for three years, Gu Yuexuan has been open in this ancient street of Jiangzhou for two hundred years, and it has a deep heritage in the collection world, and it is in the forefront in the entire mainland, and it is a joke to say that it is poor.
Pour bitter water when you open your mouth, describe how miserable and poor you are, this is also a common saying of businessmen, don't believe it, but don't debunk it.
"Haha, Wensheng, I don't lend your money either, every time I see you, you tell me this, I'm embarrassed. β
Li Lao was not embarrassed, he directly opened his mouth and exposed it, waved his hand and said: "Don't cry poor with me, it's good that your ancient family has closed down, what about your old man?"
Gu Wensheng smiled bitterly again, this Li Lao always spoke straightforwardly, which made those of them who ate by fooling people on the ancient street a little helpless.
"The old man just got up and was eating breakfast. β
Gu Wensheng smiled and said: "Why don't you sit down for a while, the old man will come out soon, and I will let someone serve you tea." β
Li Lao nodded, and a few people sat down in the reception room next to them.
This living room is not simple, the tables and chairs are all mahogany, now this kind of furniture is a rare thing, a whole set, don't think about it, don't think about it, and Gu Yuexuan's set of furniture, obviously from the previous year, it can't be said to be something that opens the door widely, and millions of estimates can't be stopped.
Wang Cheng sat down, stretched out his hand and touched the chair, and a cool breath flowed down the handle into the palm of his hand and into the blood, making Wang Cheng snort again.
What is it?
Wang Cheng's eyes stared, and he suddenly saw a subtle yellow aura in the chair under his buttocks, at this time, this yellow aura had already flowed into his body, and he felt a little cool, similar to the situation when he held the jade bracelet in Li's hometown just now.
It's just that the breath inside the jade bracelet is green, and the breath on this chair is yellow.
What the hell is this?
Wang Cheng looked carefully at the other things around him, but he couldn't see anything, he reached out and touched the chair next to Wang Yuanyuan sitting, and instantly saw that there was also a small yellow breath of about the same size in this chair, at this time, the yellow breath also flowed into Wang Cheng's body along the palm of his hand, making his body feel cool again, and his eyes were also a little clearer.
Wang Cheng was surprised, he was really sure that this was not an illusion.
"Lele, you see, this vase looks at the color and pattern, it should be the official kiln work of the Qianlong period. β
Li Zhengxiang looked at a vase on the coffee table and said to Tang Lele.
Tang Lele said curiously: "Then how much is this worth?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on the operation, but the lowest market price is more than 500,000. β
Li Zhengxiang said affirmatively.
Wang Cheng was slightly curious, and reached out to grab the vase in his hand.
"Don't take it!"
Li Zhengxiang hurriedly shouted, but it was too late, Wang Cheng, who had practiced martial arts, looked slow, but in fact he was relatively fast, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the vase in his hand.
Hearing Li Zhengxiang's stop, Wang Cheng stared and saw that there was really a yellow air mass in the vase that was a little bigger than the yellow breath on the mahogany chair, and verified his conjecture, before looking at Li Zhengxiang: "Brother Zhengxiang, what's wrong?"
Li Lao waved his hand at Yan SΓΉ's Li Zhengxiang and said with a smile: "It's okay, Xiao Cheng is not an outsider, nor is he a person who comes from Hulai, it's okay for him to take it." β
"Hehe, Xiao Cheng, this antique can't be taken casually, if it is accidentally broken, or something goes wrong after you touch it, the owner of the house will look for you, you can't tell, both parties are present, and it is better to get the consent of the owner before getting started. β
Tang Lele said to Wang Cheng with a smile, she likes to see Wang Cheng embarrassed, usually Wang Cheng is very calm, like her father, which makes her want to see Wang Cheng make a mistake in her heart, and at this time, the goal has been achieved, and the mood is suddenly good, and she is very happy to laugh.
Wang Cheng didn't care about Tang Lele's smug smile, he had heard of this rule, but he was in a hurry to verify the idea in his heart just now, so he didn't care, at this time, he imagined, it was true, he gently put the vase in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "I heard Brother Zhengxiang say that this is very valuable, so I want to take a look, hehe, it's quite heavy." β
A layman's remark made several people present laugh, and the atmosphere that was more strict just now dissipated.
Wang Yuanyuan saw Li Zhengxiang and Tang Lele making fun of her brother, and immediately pouted a little unhappy, but she also knew that she couldn't talk nonsense on this occasion, so she just sat quietly, glaring at Li Zhengxiang and Tang Lele from time to time, and didn't know what to say in her heart.
Footsteps sounded, and Gu Wensheng walked over with Gu.
