Chapter 334: Avalokiteshvara

The holder of this lacquerware, originally had the intention of selling, he is a small businessman, recently because of the turnover, the company has been on the verge of bankruptcy, and is in urgent need of a capital injection.

So when he heard that Zhang Tianyuan intended to buy this lacquerware, he was a little uneasy, no matter how much this thing was worth, if it couldn't be sold, it would be meaningless to keep it in his hands, he was in urgent need of money, unlike some collectors, who could keep it and wait for the appreciation slowly.

Besides, this lacquerware is not easy to preserve, and the lacquerware is not afraid of water, but it is afraid of dryness and easy cracking. The usual constant temperature is not conducive to the preservation of lacquerware, and a professional threshold for collection is formed from a certain distance. Generally speaking, the temperature is 15 to 18 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is about 55%, which is easy to crack if it is too dry, and easy to grow hairs if it is too wet. If the environment is too dry, you can wrap the lacquerware in plastic wrap and preserve it, but even so, if you don't take care of it properly, it will still be easily damaged, and even need a lot of money to help preserve.

This person thinks about it, but he doesn't want to keep things in his hands, it's too unsafe and too unsafe.

He heard Ma Yong say that this thing was worth eight million, so he wanted to sell it to Ma Yong: "Ma Lao, isn't this lacquerware really good?"

"That's nature. Ancient lacquerware has always paid attention to 'a hundred miles and a thousand knives and one or two lacquers'. In other words, it takes 100 miles to walk and cut 1,000 knives on the lacquer tree to get one or two lacquers. For lacquerware, it is necessary to go through hundreds of processes such as tire making, water mounting, polishing, and lacquer adjustment, and there is a slight negligence. All the work done was lost. Lacquerware is known for its elaborate craftsmanship: to make a cup of letters, it takes the hands of 100 people, and to make a screen. It takes 10,000 people. The cumbersome process of lacquerware making, from material selection, plastic tires, decoration to finished products. There are more than 20 large processes. It is very time-consuming to make zuò and dry in the shade, so it often takes several months to make a device, and the finished product needs to be sealed in the shade for a longer time. This also leads to the fact that this thing is very valuable, and if you are genuine, it will naturally be very good. ”

"In that case, then Ma Lao will buy it, I don't want eight million, Ma Lao only needs to sell it for seven million. The treasure bearer said anxiously.

When Ma Yong heard this, he burst out laughing: "Hahaha." You're interesting.,I'm really an ancient family of more than eight million.,But this lacquerware is an unpopular in the collection circle.,The old man doesn't like this kind of collection.,Besides.,Even if the old man likes it.,There's not so much money.,Not every collector is a rich person.。 ”

He was also rich, but let him spend seven million to buy a piece of lacquerware. He is about to pretend to be poor, after all, he is not a local tyrant of Zhang Tianyuan's level.

"This ......" The treasure bearer was really anxious, he felt that his asking price might be too expensive, so he stretched out five fingers and said, "Five million." How about five million, a few experts will help, you are all rich. ”

Zhang Tianyuan originally planned to ask for it. But at this time, it was silent, in this kind of public occasion. He didn't want to bid, very simply. What he says now, that is the truth, many people will believe.

If he doesn't bid, others will think that this lacquerware is actually not reliable, or at least it is not worth the money, but if he is too anxious to bid, then the situation will be completely different, others will think that it is very valuable, and will rush to grab it at a high price, don't forget, there are many local tyrants in the audience, Zhang Tianyuan's competitors are not just a few experts.

At this time, the treasure bearer seemed to remember Zhang Tianyuan's previous words, so he walked over again and said: "Teacher Zhang, you are a rich man, you can help, I don't want five million, just four million!"

This treasure holder is also helpless, he used to take this lacquerware out to ask the price, many people said yes, but they are not willing to bid, the highest is only one million, so for him more than two million, in fact, it is an acceptable price.

He is not an expert in the collecting world, and the collection of lacquerware is completely accidental, so he doesn't understand many things, and he doesn't know how to find Tibetan friends who like lacquerware, and he doesn't know how to find an auction house.

More importantly, even if he found a Tibetan friend and found an auction house that was willing to accept it, would he have the time to do so? If he could not get more than 1 million yuan in three days, his company would really collapse.

Zhang Tianyuan shook his head with a smile, but did not speak.

He wants to buy it, but he doesn't want to express himself here, so it's better to wait until after the show is over.

The treasure bearer thought that Zhang Tianyuan thought that the price was too high, so he gritted his teeth fiercely and said his bottom limit.

"Two million! How about two million, Teacher Zhang, but only you can help me. The treasure bearer said excitedly.

When Zhang Tianyuan heard this price, he already agreed in his heart, because according to the auction price in the market, this Han Dynasty pot can definitely be sold for more than 10 million, and if it is won for 2 million, it will definitely be profitable.

So, he pretended to take out a piece of paper and said, "Well, I'll introduce you to a buyer." ”

In fact, it was written on the paper, "Come back to me when the show is over." ”

As soon as the treasure bearer saw that line of words, although he didn't know why Zhang Tianyuan did this, he really almost knelt down for Zhang Tianyuan, these two million were life-saving money, with this money, he could make a comeback.

After the treasure bearer left with his things, the show also came to an end, and the host Dou Xiaoling looked at the time and said: "Now that the show is about to end, in the final stage, we welcome Mr. Xiao Zhang to explain to us some things that need to be paid attention to in lacquerware identification." ”

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said, "China is the first country in the world to use lacquerware. The earliest existing lacquerware in the world was unearthed in 1977 at the Neolithic site of Hemudu in Yuyao, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with a wooden bowl of Zhu lacquer, the bowl is 5.7 cm high, and has a history of more than 7,000 years.

I can give the highest praise to this ancient collection of lacquerware. I believe that lacquerware is definitely the last 'potential stock' in antique collections.

When Mr. Wang Shixiang was alive, he paid great attention to lacquerware. According to collection expert Ma Weidu. Wang's collection of lacquerware was bought at a low price from the hands of fellow villagers. But. When auctions came along, they became very expensive. In 2003, when Mr. Wang Shixiang held an auction at Guardian, Ma Weidu auctioned a red lacquer box, which is now on display in the Guanfu Museum.

According to some of my research findings, there are two peaks in lacquer collection from the perspective of the history of lacquer art: the first time was in the Warring States Period, Qin and Han dynasties, a painted lacquer coffin was unearthed from the Chu Tomb in Baoshan, Jiangling, Beihu, which depicts the scene of the nobles of the Chu State traveling. The second peak was in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Huang Cheng, a lacquer craftsman in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a book of "Decoration Records", in which the lacquer craft was divided into 14 categories and 101 varieties.

It is reported that there are about 17,000 pieces of lacquerware in the Palace Museum, of which the number of lacquerware unearthed is very small, and the main ones handed down are concentrated in the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It can also be seen from the auction records that most of the lacquerware of the Yuan and Ming dynasties are exquisitely made and well preserved, and have become the main force in the collection and auction of lacquerware.

Many experts in the industry believe that it is necessary to explore the investment value of lacquerware. First of all, it is necessary to understand the types of lacquerware, just as porcelain is divided into blue and white and pastel, and lacquer collections are also divided into different types at different times. For example, Ming and Qing lacquerware are divided into 14 categories. Including overcoat paint, paint, gold, pile paint and other processes. Judging from the current auction market, red and treasure inlays are more favored, and collectors can establish categories according to their own preferences.

So how do you distinguish a fake?

Specifically. It can be identified by the method of 'one touch, two smells, and three looks'. By touching it with your hands, you can identify the length of time of the lacquerware. The new lacquerware is soft to the touch. And the long time will have a certain hardness. Smell it with your nose, and lacquerware has a certain taste. It takes time to get rid of the flavor. If it's a new piece of lacquerware, you can smell it with your nose. The most effective and accurate method is to look at the broken lines of lacquerware, which mainly have two kinds of broken lines: 'cow hair break' and 'snake belly break'. 'Cow hair breakage' is mostly seen in ancient lacquerware, which is like hair, fine and broken, and it is difficult to imitate manually. 'Snake belly break' is often seen on Ming Dynasty lacquerware, mostly seen in the bottom of the vessel with a thin lacquer layer, quite similar to the snake belly under the vein. Some of the new lacquerware can also make false broken lines, but the false broken lines are regular, and the naturally formed broken lines are not regular. ”

When Zhang Tianyuan's words were finished, the audience burst into warm applause again, in fact, many collectors came to see this show, in order to learn something, some treasure appreciation programs seem to be lively, but experts said that they didn't get to the point, which made people look clumsy, but Zhang Tianyuan explained many things very thoroughly, which made people have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, which is why the people present today like to listen to him.

"Although I know that everyone is not finished yet, but our experts are already very tired, this is the end of our program, if you are interested, it will start broadcasting tomorrow, three days in a row, three episodes, don't miss it. The host Dou Xiaoling announced the successful conclusion of the show.

Several experts breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Tianyuan quietly went to the backstage alone to meet the treasure holder of the lacquerware, and transferred two million to the treasure holder through guò electronic bank on the spot.

The treasure bearer didn't kneel for him on the stage, but when he got backstage, he still cried and knelt on the ground, which made Zhang Tianyuan a little embarrassed.

Seriously, he's taking too much advantage of this thing.

"Teacher Xiao Zhang, a good person has a safe life, a good person has a safe life, and when my company is done again in the future, I will definitely come to thank you!"

"What kind of business are you doing?" asked Zhang Tianyuan casually.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a local specialty business, not a big business, mainly dealing in our Luozhou fruits. The treasure bearer replied.

"Well, I'll introduce you to a business. Zhang Tianyuan smiled: "You know the Shangpu Monkey Distillery, right?"

"I know, of course I know, I've always wanted to find a way, but I really don't, if there were such a big customer, my company wouldn't be like this. The treasure bearer said.

"The winery is also mine, so I'll give you a call, you call directly, and say that I asked you to find it, and I'll help you say it in advance. However, the winery has very high requirements for the quality of the fruit, and whether it can be a business depends on whether your fruit is good or not. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"Teacher Xiao Zhang, you are simply the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva! I kowtow to you!" (to be continued......)
