Chapter 120: The Incompetent Appraiser
Ji Yang can be 100% sure that Mr. Wen must have made a mistake in identification, because this jade bottle was given by Xiaolongnu, and she was born in the Southern Song Dynasty. When the small jade vase www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion was first taken, it already looked very ancient, indicating that it was still before the Southern Song Dynasty.
"This jade vase looks like an antique on the surface, but according to my observations, it should have been processed. If you look at its pattern, it does not belong to any kind of carving in history, and it has not been written. Obviously, this is a jade vase carved with modern craftsmanship, and the master's craftsmanship is very good. The bottle is a fine mutton fat jade, coupled with master-level craftsmanship, the reserve price of 500,000 is just right. Mr. Wen explained in detail.
Yan Sanqing's appraisal price is 50 million, and Mr. Wen's appraisal price is 500,000 yuan, a difference of 100 times between the two. Ji Yang is more willing to believe in Yan Sanqing's appraisal price, because the jade bottle is not a modern handicraft at all.
"Please identify it again, this jade bottle should be an object from the Southern Song Dynasty." Jiyang Road.
"There is no need for identification, there was no such carving in the Southern Song Dynasty." Mr. Wen smiled, he has seen a lot of people like Ji Yang who have seen too many people who are too different from what he expected in his heart, resulting in a gap and asking for a re-appraisal. However, Mr. Wen is very confident in his vision, the jade bottle is definitely not an object from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the craftsmanship is completely wrong.
"Excuse me, do you have any other appraisers here?" Ji Yang felt that he was unreliable and wanted to change someone.
When Mr. Wen heard this, his smile gradually narrowed, he had worked in Yuxuan Auction House for several years and was quite famous. People who were familiar with him respectfully called him Master Wen, and no one ever questioned his ability to identify.
"Of course, I'm not the only appraiser here, but I've been busy lately, and there's only one person in the preliminary appraisal. If you are not satisfied, you can go to customer service to apply for a different appraiser, and I will not accompany you. Mr. Wen didn't plan to waste time, and stood up and prepared to leave.
"Forget it, I'll try it at another auction house." Ji Yang put the jade bottle back in the box.
"Please." Mr. Wen is used to seeing people like Ji Yang, and he doesn't want to bother to keep him, so it's only 500,000. Due to the large number of items sold recently, there is no shortage of such a knick-knack for auction houses.
Seeing Ji Yang and Ying Xiaoxiao leaving, Mr. Wen said secretly: Young people always want to get rich overnight, and the reserve price of 500,000 yuan is not satisfied. It's the same with other auction houses, maybe I'll come back later.
After Ji Yang arrived at the second auction house, the appraiser was a sixty-year-old man, and the appraisal results were similar. However, the price given by the old man was higher, reaching 700,000, saying that the craftsmanship of the jade bottle was better.
Then Ji Yang went to the third auction house, and the appraiser was a middle-aged man, and the result was still the same. Although the jade vase looks like an antique, it is judged to be a modern handicraft based on the style and pattern.
Back in the car, Ji Yang said to Xiaoxiao: "Go to Li Yuan and find Mr. Yan for another appraisal." ”
Ying Xiaoxiao started the car and drove in the direction of Li Yuan: "A small bottle, 700,000 is already a lot, why aren't you happy?" ”
She didn't know the source of the jade vase, and thought that the results of the three appraisers were true. For Ying Xiaoxiao, 700,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money, and I don't understand why Ji Yang is depressed.
"If it's only worth 700,000, I can afford to spend this effort." Jiyang Road.
"If I can make 700,000 yuan by going to the auction house, I can make 100 trips a day, and I use two legs." Ying Xiaoxiao felt that he was too young, had never suffered hardships, and did not know how to cherish the life in front of him.
Although she is also very young, she had a hard time when she was a child, and she had to help the family work every day. Her father was a fruit seller, and in order to keep the fruit fresh, he had to get up early every day to deliver the goods. Their family lives on the second floor of the fruit store, so Ying Xiaoxiao also has to get up very early to help move goods to the shelves.
Because Ying Xiaoxiao has been beautiful since she was a child, she can attract many customers when she helps to see the fruit shop during the holidays. People also call her fruit Xi Shi, and because Ying Xiaoxiao can carry a basket of fruits by herself, some people call her a female paper.
Looking back on his old life, now driving a million-dollar Audi, Ying Xiaoxiao is still a little incredible. The one who brought about this huge change was the young boyfriend next to her, who knew how to cherish it.
"Why is it closed, it seems that I can only call his house." Ji Yang walked to the century-old store, and the door was closed: it was estimated that the store was smashed last time, Yan Sanqing felt tired and didn't want to continue to open an antique store.
Ji Yang took out his mobile phone and dialed Yan Sanqing's number: "Mr. Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my health is good." ”
Yan Sanqing's voice was lazy, and he replied: "It's okay, do you want to identify antiques?" ”
"Yes, where do you live, can I go over now?" Ji Yang asked.
"Jingyi Garden, No. 576." Yan Sanqing reported the address.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yang and Ying Xiaoxiao returned to the car.
They had been to Jingyi Garden once before, which was Liu Fangtian's villa area, and they were all rich people.
"That Mr. Yan, what does it have to do with Yan Yuxiang?" While driving, Ying Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
"Her grandfather was an archaeology professor and master antique, and I had been looking for him to authenticate antiques. His appraisal skills are much stronger than those appraisers, and I plan to ask again how much this jade bottle is worth. Ji Yang said.
"That's how you met her, it sounds romantic." Ying Xiaoxiao's brain was a little jealous.
"Actually, we've met three times, and we've both known each other for a year, so we can't compare at all." Jiyang Road.
"That's pretty much it." Ying Xiaoxiao smiled.
Jingyi Garden is a mountain in the city, and the villas are built from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and there are various shapes. Yan Sanqing's villa is halfway up the mountainside, with pleasant scenery around it and a lake next to it.
Seeing such a beautiful villa environment, Ji Yang felt a sense of envy, and I will buy one in the future. Ying Xiaoxiao was even more amazed, her eyes were full of yearning, and she really hoped that she could live in this kind of place with Ji Yang in the future.
However, this kind of villa and environment must cost tens of millions, and Ying Xiaoxiao didn't dare to think about it. She knew that Ji Yang was very rich, but she used it to open a factory, and she probably couldn't afford a villa of this size.
Yan Sanqing was not in the villa, but fishing in the lake next to him: "Here, sit down and talk." ”
The two sat on the stone bench next to them, and Ji Yang said with a smile: "Mr. Yan will really enjoy it, there is such a big villa, what kind of antique shop is opened." ”
Yan Sanqing was lying on the bamboo chair, holding the fishing rod in his hand and motionless: "It's no longer open, at such an age, no matter how much money you make, you can't afford to spend it." By the way, where did you kidnap our family Xiangxiang, I haven't seen her for almost a month. ”
Ji Yang was a little embarrassed and explained: "I opened a natural water company and asked her to be a legal adviser, which will be busy." If you don't want to, I'll let her come back another day, and I'll hire another person. ”
Yan Sanqing glanced at him and said, "What is there to be unwilling, who is not a job, you take good care of her." This kid is not very able to endure hardship, and he has changed a few jobs before, and none of them have lasted more than two months. ”
Hearing him say this, Ji Yang was a little moved by Yan Yuxiang. A girl who can't insist on working in the city, runs to the countryside to endure hardships, and runs around with Ji Xia every day, obviously not just to make money. The more he moved, the more guilty he felt in his heart, because Ji Yang already had Ying Xiaoxiao, and it was difficult to give her any promises.
Ying Xiaoxiao knows Yan Yuxiang's thoughts better than him, and every day when she eats, Yan Yuxiang stares at Ji Yang. Sometimes he feeds him with vegetables, and he doesn't care about the eyes of others, which is very rare. However, the more courageous Yan Yuxiang had, the more headache she had, wanting Ji Yang to clear up the relationship, and she was afraid that she would mess things up.
"Don't worry, I won't let her suffer." Jiyang Road.
"That's good, who is she?" Yan Sanqing looked at Ying Xiaoxiao and was very puzzled.
"She's my girlfriend Ying Xiaoxiao, you just call her Xiaoxiao." Ji Yang explained, feeling even more embarrassed.
"Hello, Mr. Yan." Ying Xiaoxiao is very polite.
Yan Sanqing frowned, and looked at Ji Yang with a very puzzled look, what was the situation. How could he not know his granddaughter's thoughts, but Ji Yang already had a girlfriend, what was she doing there.
This kid is so unreasonable, he just promised me not to let Xiangxiang suffer, and a girlfriend immediately appeared. already has a girlfriend, Xiangxiang can not suffer in the past, Yan Sanqing is very angry.
"Ji boy, since you have a girlfriend, why do you still provoke our family Xiangxiang." Yan Sanqing felt very sorry for her granddaughter, of course she wouldn't pretend to be stupid, but directly questioned Ji Yang.
"Well, let's let her come back." Ji Yang guessed that he would be angry, and he was indeed wrong about this.
In fact, Ji Yang thought at first that Yan Yuxiang was just interested in money, so he wanted to use the benefits to let her help. But after what happened last night, Ji Yang knew that she really liked herself, and now it would be troublesome.
"Call her right away, and I'll get her back personally." Yan Sanqing said decisively.
"Okay, I'll call." Ji Yang took out his mobile phone and dialed Yan Yuxiang's number, and after a while, she answered: "Ji Yang, what are you looking for me?" Ji Yang said, "It's Mr. Yan looking for you, I'll give him the phone", and then gave the phone to Yan Sanqing.
After Yan Sanqing took the phone, he immediately said seriously: "Xiangxiang, you will come back to me immediately." ”
Yan Yuxiang knew that the matter was exposed, but she didn't want to give up yet, so she said, "Grandpa, I finally found a new job, how can I go back casually." It's very good here, the salary is also very high, and the boss is Ji Yang's sister, who is very good to me. ”
Yan Sanqing doesn't care about work at all, but her life: "Don't think I don't know what you think, come back to me right away." ”
Being seen through by her relatives, and being in Ji Yang's house is indeed more aggrieved, Yan Yuxiang is very sad. But she has already figured it out, and plans to work seriously and no longer compete with Ying Xiaoxiao: "You don't have to worry, I'm just working." ”
Yan Sanqing frowned and said in disbelief: "Really? ”
Yan Yuxiang said very seriously: "I'm really just working, this company is under construction, and the development prospects are great." As an initial employee, it will be of great benefit to me to develop the company in the future. ”
Yan Sanqing didn't believe it in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, what his granddaughter said made some sense. Even though this kid has a girlfriend, if it's just a job, it's naturally better to work for him than for someone else. After all, the relationship between the two sides is good, and Ji Yang will definitely take care of Yan Yuxiang for the sake of his face. And Yan Yuxiang will have to become independent sooner or later, and his property will be inherited to his son, so he should plan for the future.
"No matter what, if you are wronged, you must tell grandpa that we don't lack that money." Yan Sanqing was very atmospheric.
"Don't worry, I will." Yan Yuxiang was very moved.
Yan Sanqing returned the phone to Ji Yang, leaned back in the chair and sighed, still very worried. Ji Yang heard that he failed to persuade Yan Yuxiang back, and he didn't know whether he was happy or troubled, so he put the phone back in his pocket. Ying Xiaoxiao was more embarrassed, and her parents defended her granddaughter in front of her, and she didn't know what to say.
"Aren't you going to appraise antiques, take them out." Yan San Qingdao.
"It's the jade bottle that was identified last time, I just took it to the auction house, and it was said to be a modern handicraft. But I think they must have made a mistake and want to show it to you again. Ji Yang opened the wooden box and presented it to Yan Sanqing.
"How do you know they must be wrong, maybe I'm wrong." Yan Sanqing picked up the jade bottle and rubbed it gently.
"Because I know where it comes from, at least from the Southern Song Dynasty." Ji Yang was very confident and authentic.
Yan Sanqing glanced at him again, this guy even knew the source, most of them were made from the cemetery. But to be honest, the craftsmanship of this jade bottle is indeed very special, and he can't even tell the specific dynasty.
"This jade vase must be an antique, and as for its price, it can be very high or very low. First of all, its material, the best mutton fat jade, this alone is no less than a million. The most important thing is its carving, if you look closely, the pattern on it is done in one go, and there is no broken pen. Although this craft is not recorded in history, it is a peerless ancient skill. ”
"In the hands of people who don't know the goods, at most the price of a bottle can be sold, and if you know the goods, it's worth a thousand gold! Because it is an ancient art that has not been discovered so far, it can be described as a unique one, and you think about how valuable it is to collect. ”
Yan Sanqing's evaluation is very high, the best mutton fat jade, the ghostly carving, the unique collection value. These three points add up, no wonder there is a previous price of 50 million, which is really not high at all.
After listening to his detailed explanation, Ji Yang finally understood the specific value of the jade bottle, and he knew the bottom of his heart. (To be continued.) )
