Chapter Seventy-Eight, Tang Palace
Shopkeeper Qin didn't think much about it, but just asked people to put two snuff bottles in gift boxes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info politely sent Tang Wen out of the door.
After a little experiment, Tang Wen didn't have the heart to go any further. Look at the two snuff bottles in your hands. I thought about it for a moment. Of course, he didn't like to collect anything. The reason why he bothered to learn this skill was because he was a little short of money, so why not take advantage of the time to find someone to see what the snuffbox was worth.
Neither in public books nor in private handwriting, there is no specific amount of money. Unless it is very rare and extremely famous, such as the animal head of the zodiac. The blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty or something, only to mention that it is priceless.
Tang Wen took out his mobile phone and checked the address of the SH auction house. It turned out that most of the search pages were ad links. They are all boasting about how good their auction company or auction website is, how magnificent they are...... I chose from many links for a long time, and I didn't think it was reliable!
So he closed the webpage and sent a text message to Ye Meng. When the call came back, Tang Wen was already in the taxi.
"Hey, yes, I have two snuff bottles in my hand, a Qing Dynasty glazed painting pot...... Hmph, don't believe in my strength! Of course it's true...... I'll meet you at school. Let's see if you can help me find a channel to sell......"
The taxi drove smoothly on the elevated highway around the city, and Tang Wen pondered that he couldn't drive without a driver's license, and it was really inconvenient to have a car yet. Zhou Xiaoyu is such a beautiful girl, and she should also have a car. In addition, it is not a matter if the house is not renovated, but seeing that it is 2011, an investment or speculative plan that takes a year to brew and needs a lot of financial support should also be launched as soon as possible......
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Wen found that these two snuff bottles were not enough to see at all. Even if it's so beautiful, it's just too small. The antique market also depends on the type of utensils, which are large and exquisite. After all, people who are vassals and elegant, who are willing to spend millions on an ivory toothpick, have really never heard of it. It's all about buying some things that can be seen by others at a glance, such as jade cabbage, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
"Yo, there's still a class, right?, why did you run out directly?" Tang Wen looked at Ye Meng and Wang Shan in front of him.
"And, if you are allowed to skip class, we can't escape?" Wang Shan gave him two health balls.
"Quick! take it out and look at it. Ye Meng was a little impatient.
"Right here?"
"Let's go find a café outside! you have to have a treat!" Wang Shan nodded Tang Wen with her chin.
Although it was not the first time he had made Wang Shan's car, he still looked around a little unproductively, reaching out to feel the milky white soft leather on his seat. sighed: "I don't know if my two snuff bottles can be exchanged for your car..."
"Okay, as long as it's true, I'll exchange it with you if you're not afraid of losing money. Wang Shan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said indifferently, and then asked in the rearview mirror: "How about Mengmeng, is it real?"
"I looked at it and it was almost true, but I rarely touched the snuffbox. So it doesn't count, let's go somewhere! I know there's a store that accepts everything, and its reputation is pretty good. The address is ......"
"How much is it really worth?" Wang Shan turned on the car navigation and walked out of the campus with ease. asked what Tang Wen was most concerned about.
"Well, I've heard that the price of a genuine Qing Dynasty snuff bottle is generally between 100,000 and 1 million! If these two are true, they should be the master's technique, and the value should be more than 500,000. Ye Meng frowned and said a little uncertainly.
Tang Wen pursed his lips and asked Wang Shan: "Did you buy your two Maserati?"
"Alas, for the sake of my friends, I'll tell you reluctantly, there are no doors!"
Ye Meng burst out laughing when she heard this, and Tang Wen fell to the seat as if his bones had been pulled out.
"There's a pedestrian street ahead, are we on the right track?"
Ye Meng leaned on the window and nodded: "This is it! I've been here twice." ”
"This place is a bit remote!" Tang Wen got out of the car, looking at the fact that there was not a single shop on either side of the street, and the direction of the pedestrian street pointed by Wang Shan seemed to be, what kind of hot spring mansion, what Tang Dynasty business club, Tang Palace private dishes and the like.
Wang Shan and Tang Wen looked at Ye Meng suspiciously.
The latter jumped to the two of them like a deer, as if he didn't see the eyes of the two, pointed to the private dishes and said, "Today we are going to have a big meal here!"
"Delicious?"
"Not only is it delicious, but it's expensive! Even if I have a membership card, it's not discounted. So it's very distressing to eat. ”
"Oh! It seems that I shouldn't be distressed today!" Wang Shan nodded matter-of-fact and glanced at Tang Wen from head to toe. It's like looking at a small animal waiting to be slaughtered.
"I've always had a dream to spend other people's money here and eat a good meal. ”
"Well, that's the idea! What's in there?"
"There are lobsters! Extraordinarily long lobsters......"
Tang Wen had a little headache, and quickly interrupted with a wry smile: "Okay! But are we going to sell the things first? I'm so rich to get two beautiful women?"
"Well, that makes sense. For your sake, I'll take you in......" Ye Meng and Wang Shan changed their colors and walked in front with a smile.
"Hey, I said, how do you go to the private restaurant!" Tang Wen touched his nose, not knowing whether to follow or not.
"Hmph! This is it! I can still remember wrong! Keep up with ......"
Tang Wen didn't know what medicine he bought in Ye Meng's gourd, so he had to follow behind.
"Welcome to the Tang Palace......!
Tang Wen looked at the pretty woman in front of him in surprise, because she was wearing an ancient costume. It is not an ordinary cheongsam and a wide Hanfu, but a Tang costume, with white flowers on a red background, bright and not tacky, and a well-cut Tang costume. Especially the pants on the lower half of her body, when she stood here, her legs together looked like the tail of a mermaid.
Her words were said by looking at Tang Wen, and before she finished speaking, she heard Ye Meng take out a card that seemed to be made of blue and white porcelain, and said concisely: "Sell things, eat!"
The woman didn't seem to think it was inappropriate to come to this private restaurant to sell things, so she nodded politely at the three of them, took the card in Ye Meng's hand and scanned it on a mobile phone-sized card reader, returned the card, and said politely: "Miss Ye, please come here and wait a while." With that, she led the three of them to the deep corridor on the right.
There are no doors on either side of the corridor, none of them, like a long exhibition corridor. Framed calligraphy and paintings hang on both sides. Wang Shan poked Tang Wen and whispered: "It seems that they are all modern masters! I just saw a Mr. Wang's signature, his paintings should be based on square feet! One square foot is enough for hundreds of thousands of ......."
Tang Wen was a little surprised, looked to both sides, and found that his antique appreciation technique didn't seem to have any effect. It's just that it looks simple, and I feel that these calligraphy and paintings are very eye-catching. It should be the discerning eye that comes into play......
