Chapter 53: Treasure Appreciation
"Five hundred thousand? Really? The relatives who were watching exploded in an instant, they couldn't have imagined that this one broken thing could be so valuable?
"Xiao Ran, I have a lot of these things at home, why don't you show me?"
"yes, I have a lot of them in my house."
"If it's all true, then aren't we going to get rich?"
There are all kinds of discussions in the crowd, this person has a dream of making a fortune, and he suddenly learned that there is a treasure at home that can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, who is not excited?
Get! It seems that his father kindly caused a problem for himself, and these relatives and neighbors are embarrassed to refuse.
"That's it, you can go back and bring the things, I can identify it for you, but I'm embarrassed to affect everyone's eating, if you want to identify it, just wait for the start of eating, I'll wait for you here."
Seeing that it can't be avoided, he has simply learned a lot from Mu Lao during this time, and this rare mobile phone meeting is relatively small for him, anyway, there is no mistake in identifying the ability.
When everyone heard and thought about it, they immediately dispersed in a hurry, and they all went home to find the baby, as for those who came from afar, there was no way, their home was far from here, so they could only ask Zhao Ran more here, and then go home and take a look.
Soon the news spread in the village, and the old Zhao family turned out to be worth 150,000 yuan for that old object!
You must know that even in 2015, 150,000 yuan is a lot of money for the countryside, which is not hard to take out all the old things at home, and it seems to be like selling waste products to move to Lao Zhao's house.
"Son, am I causing you trouble?" Father Zhao watched more and more people gather here, and those pots and pans also moved over one by one, a little embarrassed.
Zhao Ran glanced at his father, what kind of trouble is this? It's just a disaster, so many things, and you can't go home today?
"Everyone! Please take your old belongings, such as bowls, cups, and pots for eating, and don't bring them to you that you can see as modern crafts. ”
Looking at the more and more things gathered, Zhao Ran was a little broken, are these people lacking hearts? Why do you take everything here?
Everyone was a little embarrassed at first glance, they had been making these things at home just now, but it turned out to be a bit too much, so they all moved over.
So they picked and took their things home, and more than half of the things were missing from the scene at once.
"Xiao Ran, I'm ready to eat, let's go and see it when I'm full." At this moment, the sound of shouting for food came from inside the house.
But everyone is not in the mood to eat now, so they went in and said that they were full after a few bites, and then watched Zhao Ran eat.
Zhao Ran didn't have much appetite to be stared at by so many people, so he just took a few mouthfuls of food, and then went to work.
Not to mention that those antique dealers like to come to the countryside to shop for goods, there are really a lot of old objects here, but unfortunately many of them are worthless.
Now what Zhao Ran is holding in his hand is a snuff bottle, which is no different from the one that Zhao Ming took out just now, and even more beautiful.
The owner of this snuff bottle is also a person from this village, I just heard that someone identified the antique and took out this thing, and now he is looking at Zhao Ran with a look of hope, he just heard that there is a snuff bottle that is exactly the same as his one and can be sold for 150,000 yuan if it is broken, so wouldn't it cost 500,000 yuan if he is so perfect?
"I'm sorry to tell you, this thing of yours is fake, modern craft products, worthless." Although it was a bit cruel, Zhao Ran still said it, it was impossible for him to talk nonsense with his eyes open.
"How is that possible? This is exactly the same as your Uncle Zhao Ming, mine is even more beautiful, how can it be fake, you can't just cheat me because I'm not your relative. The man was suddenly anxious, how could this exactly the same thing be fake?
The onlookers next to him were also curious, this young man wouldn't understand anything, right?
Looking at the impatient appearance of these people, Zhao Ran was very calm.
"You see, although this snuff box is exactly the same as my uncle's, a fake is a fake, and this snuff box is painted after it is fired, and it is worthless at all."
"How is this possible? This is what my son bought for me before, if this fake color falls off early, and I wipe it often, how can this be painted? ”
It seems that these people don't believe it without some real material, and facts always speak louder than words.
Shaking his head, he walked into the back room Zhao Ran took a bottle of wine and a rag, then dipped it in wine, and rubbed it on the surface of the snuff bottle, and after a while, the pattern on the surface disappeared vaguely.
The man saw that this was really fake, obviously there was no difference on the surface, and his face was also red, and he was a little embarrassed by what he had just said.
"Today's technology is very powerful, and many pigments can not be washed off with water, which seems to be the same, but in fact, the boss is bad, but it is just a good disguise."
"I also know everyone's feelings, everyone comes to appreciate the treasure and hopes that their things are true, but the real is true, the fake is fake, I can't distort the facts!"
As soon as this expert makes a move, he will know if there is one, and the actual evidence will never be false.
Everyone didn't make a fuss next, and quietly watched Zhao Ran's explanation of his antique appraisal, which was quite orderly.
Although the fakes, or modern crafts in it are more suitable, accounting for more than ninety percent, there are still some good things!
For example, the items that Zhao Ran is holding in his hands now.
This is a rather peculiar antique, it has an elegant name, called "bamboo silk button porcelain".
Bamboo silk buckle porcelain, also known as porcelain fetal bamboo, originated in Chengdu, Sichuan, with porcelain utensils as the fetus, with slender and soft bamboo wire, tightly linked to the porcelain fetus, with the fetus into the body, bamboo wire molding, all joints can be hidden without leakage, natural!
The earliest porcelain bamboo weaving came from the Qing Dynasty, because the process was extremely complex and the production was extremely exquisite, so it was only for the royal family at that time.
The process of making porcelain bamboo weaving is very complicated, and it has to go through the bamboo, scraping, baking, and drawing!
After the skillful hands of the craftsman to weave it on the selected porcelain, it often takes several months to make only one porcelain bamboo weaving.
About the bamboo silk buckle porcelain, the locals also wrote a sentence: a cup of thousands of threads is warm!
It's a pity that the bamboo silk button porcelain is not famous, it is not like Shu embroidery, Yun Jin, which is already a household name in the country, it is low-key, obscure, at least there are a lot of people who don't know the bamboo silk button porcelain.
"This thing is called bamboo silk button porcelain, the shape is perfect, I looked at the estimated items before the Republic of China, although the bamboo silk button porcelain is not famous in China, but with the passage of time until today, the price of bamboo silk button porcelain is also constantly heating up, although I don't know much about this, but it is rare that it can be made into a set of tea sets, and give you an estimate of the price of 600,000 yuan!"
Zhao Ran's price is not a random estimate, this set of tea sets is composed of four cups and a teapot.
Although there is only one aperture on it, it means that they are at least a hundred years old, and the aura color of the four cups is extremely white, and there is even a hint of turning red, so the minimum of 100,000 is still very reliable!
As for this teapot, it is already a red aura, but it is extremely light, so the estimate of 200,000 is not much worse.
After appraising so many pieces, he finally identified some small superlatives, and Zhao Ran was quite happy for this treasure holder.
"Is it really worth 600,000? My goodness, this is what my grandfather left when he died, alas, he left a lot of them at the beginning, and in the end they were broken to the point that only these few pieces remained, oh my God, how much money was thrown away! ”
When the treasure bearer heard that such a little thing was worth 600,000 yuan, not only was he not happy, but he was a little distressed, thinking that his grandfather had left him a lot of these things, but they were thrown and broken!
He thought about it for himself, he had thrown away at least millions over the years, right? Just think about it, it's like cutting his flesh!
Zhao Ran also felt a little sore when he heard it, there are indeed many old objects in the countryside, but they don't know that these things are valuable, and they usually don't have the heart to take care of them, so they will throw them away directly if they are broken anyway.
It's okay that I don't know, but if I know this, I guess I will be distressed to death, and he understands this person quite well.
The people next to him also looked at him with sympathy, but their hearts were very shocked, just such a little thing is hundreds of thousands, and they are envious of the dead.
"Old Fang, accept your fate, I can still give you a few left, who makes you not usually take care of yourself?"
Everyone dragged this old party aside, don't disturb Zhao Ran's appraisal work, after all, time is tight, or it won't be long before people have to leave.
And some people are also a little hot-eyed, this person called Lao Fang, who made 600,000 yuan at once, can he not be red-eyed?
Shaking his head, he continued to identify the objects in front of him with the skills of Professor Mu Lao, one by one.
This is really quite different from the theory, many things even Zhao Ran himself thought were true, but when he looked at it with his ability, he was still very disappointed!
My experience is still too little, but the progress is also great, think about two months ago, I still don't know anything about antiques, now I can have such results, what are I not satisfied with?
Because the time is not very early, the next appraisal Zhao Ran will take a quick decision.
Really explained it, by the way, estimate the price, and point out the flaws directly and neatly!
Even in this case, when Zhao Ran finished identifying everything with a sweaty head, the sky was dark, and the time was seven o'clock in the evening.
It stands to reason that when everything is done, these people should go, right? But things are different from what Zhao Ran imagined, these people really don't leave, they are all waiting for Zhao Ran here!
