Chapter 31 Liu Lao and Meng Zhiguo
Brother Biao fled in a hurry......
Li Rui saw it in his eyes, and did not chase and fight hard, after the rumor of this ugly incident, the other party did not have to appear in this antique street for a year and a half.
"Hello, little brother, meet again. My name is Meng Zhiguo!" The man with black-rimmed glasses came over and introduced Liu Lao to Li Rui.
"Hello, Brother Meng. Hello, Mr. Liu. My name is Li Rui, thank you for your help. ”
Liu Lao smiled, looked at Li Rui carefully, and praised: "At a young age, it is very good to be able to exercise such eyesight." Who did you learn from?"
"I didn't learn from anyone, I just read books and figured it out by myself. Li Rui replied.
Self-study?
Liu Lao and Meng Zhiguo's eyes showed surprise.
Antique identification, many people have a master to teach hand in hand, bit by bit analysis and guidance, after learning a lifetime, they are all stumbling. A person who learns by himself in front of a book alone, with no one to guide them, knows very well how difficult it is to learn and succeed.
Inspect many fakes at a glance, and determine the time of imitation in a conclusive way. Before, Meng Zhiguo told about the Qianlong Pastel Nine-Ball Heavenly Ball Bottle......
Obviously.
Li Rui didn't just learn a little bit of skin, but he had a pretty strong level. Linked to his age, this performance is very demonic.
Talented!
Liu Lao silently gave an evaluation in his heart.
"The little brother's knowledge of porcelain identification is self-taught...... I have been studying with my master since I was fifteen years old, and it has been almost twenty years since I barely learned something. When encountering something important, I don't dare to identify it alone. Xiao Zhou, who was standing in the distance, came over.
Xiao Zhou came over, and the other two also stepped forward, also with a look of surprise.
"Hello!"
Li Rui looked at the three people who came forward, he came over before, Meng Zhiguo didn't introduce him, he didn't know how to call it, so he simply asked vaguely.
"Ha, my name is Zhou Xuexue, the tall one is Xue Lei, and the fat one is called Zhao Yiming. All of them do research and appraisal work in the Shenzhen Museum. ”
"Brother Zhou is good, Brother Xue is good, Brother Zhao is good! My name is Li Rui, and I am a high school student. Li Rui said hello again.
In fact.
Meng Zhiguo, Zhou Xuexue and others are all thirty or forty years old, about the same age as Li Rui's father, but due to the influence of their previous lives, they met a habitual brother who was older than him. Except, of course, for old grandfathers like Liu Lao.
"I used to hear the master say who is a genius, and I was always unconvinced, but when I met you, Brother Li Rui, I understood the meaning of genius. When I was about your age, I was first introduced to antique appraisal. And now you can do the appraisal independently, this gap ......," Zhou Xuexue sighed again.
"I know that there are people outside the sky. Liu Lao said.
"Yes. ”
Zhou Xuexue nodded respectfully and replied, Liu Lao was his master's best friend, and occasionally pointed him out. He is also an old leader of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, and it is his honor to preach.
"Well, I'm not as good as you think. I just studied more porcelain of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and I don't understand anything else. Li Rui explained.
"That's a very rare thing. Liu Lao said with a smile.
"It's easier to get something by focusing on one item. When I first came into contact with this industry, I was curious about everything and wanted to learn, and it took me several years to wake up and specialize in porcelain. Meng Zhiguo said.
Everyone is in the cultural and museum world, although Li Rui is new to this industry, but he has the addition of appraisal experience, and he knows everything about the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Everyone got together, and there were endless topics to talk about. Zhou Xuexue seized the rare opportunity to ask Liu Lao for advice from time to time.
Liu Lao didn't say much, and pointed to the main point as soon as he opened his mouth.
After an in-depth conversation, Liu Lao unabashedly admired Li Rui and proposed to go to the antique street together.
Li Rui happily agreed.
It's a rare opportunity to communicate and learn from a bunch of experts up close. What's more, Liu Lao is a senior, and he took the initiative to invite, and he couldn't refuse no matter what.
The six of them walked slowly around the antique street, Liu Lao and Meng Zhiguo walked in front, and Li Rui and Zhou Xuexue and the other four were slightly behind.
Meng Zhiguo said that he was researching and appraising in the Nanjing Museum, and he was also very respectful to Liu Lao, but it was different from Zhou's respect.
Zhou Xuexue's respect is respectful to the teacher and seniors, with a slight restraint.
And Meng Zhiguo showed respect for his predecessors and the elderly, polite, but quite confident, and he had no worries when he spoke.
The two are peer-to-peer exchanges!
Apparently.
Meng Zhiguo's identity is not as simple as he says.
Li Rui gave full play to the essence of listening more and talking less, and observed silently, only to inadvertently notice that Meng Zhiguo was different.
Walk all the way, look all the way, and stop and watch when you meet an interest. Liu Lao and Meng Zhiguo are both masters of porcelain identification, but they do not only understand porcelain, they have a wide range of knowledge, and they both have a considerable level. Zhou Xuexue, Xue Lei, and Zhao Yiming are also in the same situation.
Therefore.
The things on the stalls, no matter what type they are, everyone knows more or less. There are a little more stops and observations.
Due to the rules, everyone looks at things on their own and communicates less. Only after leaving, will some antiques be reviewed.
It's kind of exchange learning.
"Li Rui, there is porcelain on the ground stall in front, go and take a look. Liu Lao turned his head sideways and said to Li Rui, there was no porcelain in the stall he saw before, Li Rui bluntly said that he didn't understand, and he watched silently.
"Good. ”
Li Rui replied with a smile.
Liu Lao proposed to go to see porcelain, I am afraid that there is also a meaning of comparison. His ability comes from the system, as long as he is within the scope of appraisal experience, there is no possibility of abnormal performance, and he will naturally not have stage fright.
……
"Yo, the little brother came to buy porcelain again. You can see casually, they are all high-quality products, and they must be happy to smash them. When the group approached, the stall owner found Li Rui's figure and immediately came to his senses.
Liu Lao and Meng Zhiguo were slightly stunned, the stall owner is very enthusiastic about Li Rui, old customers?
Smash it up......
Zhou Xuexue subconsciously repeated the stall owner's words, and suddenly, his eyes widened: "It's painful to smash, boss, do you mean to smash porcelain?"
"Yes, the little brother likes to smash and play. "The stall owner is rightly authentic.
Swish.
Liu Lao, Meng Zhiguo, Zhou Xuexue and others all looked at Li Rui in unison, their eyes were extremely weird.
Many people in the antique street are talking about the mysterious nouveau riche smashing antique porcelain for fun, they have more or less heard some, and everyone who has dealt with antiques all their lives is not happy, but they have not thought that the mysterious protagonist has always been by their side.
Li Rui smiled bitterly in his heart, as soon as the stall owner opened his mouth, he knew that it was going to be bad.
"That's right, I did drop a lot of porcelain...... Li Rui's face was slightly embarrassed, and then he explained: "But everything is a fake, and I can't bear to destroy the real thing." ”
The serious faces of Liu Lao and the others eased slightly.
"Li Rui, you still buy it if you know it's a fake...... Just smashing and playing?" He may say that the porcelain smashed yesterday was all over the antique street, and that it cost more than his salary in ten years.
"It's not enough to smash and play, it's just to vent your anger. When I first came over, I bought a few pieces of porcelain, but because I was in a hurry, I didn't carefully identify them, and I was eye-catching. Then I came over and bought a bunch of cheaper porcelain to smash and vent. It also has the meaning of warning others...... If you smash so much porcelain, others will think carefully when they see it. Li Rui barely came up with a reasonable explanation.
Ha ha~
After listening to Li Rui's explanation, everyone burst out laughing. The corners of Liu Lao's mouth also floated a slight arc, and his white beard trembled.
"Antique appraisal is a very complex job, a test of personal vision and experience, no one can do everything, there will always be mistakes. Eye-catching, it can't be avoided, and I have also seen it...... It's useless to be angry or regretful, just sum up the experience and learn a lesson afterwards. Old Liu's voice was kind and authentic.
"What you taught is that. Li Rui replied with a smile.
"Ha, it's normal for young people to be angry. When I first found out that I bought a fake, I was so angry that I almost vomited blood, and I didn't sleep well for two days. Meng Zhi National Road.
Well.
Zhou Xuexue, Xue Lei and Zhao Yiming all nodded in agreement, obviously having experienced similar experiences. Antique appraisal is like this, no matter how bullish you are, there are times when you are blind.
