Chapter 174: Yunzhou Antique City
Shanghai sent a luxury bus, plus the people from Shanghai to pick up the airport, there were only a dozen people in total, and the seats on the luxury bus were more than relaxed.
Not long after getting in the car, Wu Xiaoli got along with Liu Lao and Zhou Lao, and they liked Wu Xiaoli very much for a little girl who loved antiques, and they were also surprised that Wu Xiaoli knew so much knowledge at such a young age. Of course, they didn't compare Wu Xiaoli with Li Yang, Li Yang is a freak, and the two have already attributed Li Yang to the same level as themselves.
What Li Yang didn't expect was that Zhou Lao and Liu Lao both knew Wu Xiaoli's grandfather Liu Xuesong, and they went to the countryside to collect things together when they were young. This made the two old men and Wu Xiaoli even more in love, and Li Yang was thrown aside by them along the way, only the person in charge carefully accompanied Li Yang and asked some questions from time to time.
Shanghai is much more generous than Yanjing, Li Yang and they stayed in a famous five-star hotel in Xuhui District, and the three experts were all suites, and no one from Shanghai came to disturb them in the afternoon, so that several experts could have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's ancient jade identification.
After a morning on the plane, Liu Lao and Zhou Lao were a little tired, and went to rest after a simple lunch at the hotel, Li Yang's spirit was better than that of the two old people, but he was bored and went to sleep for a while, and he got up too early in the morning, which would be really a little sleepy.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Liu Lao sent someone to ask Li Yang if he wanted to go out for a walk with the two old guys.
The invitation of the two old experts Li Yang naturally will not refuse, and the two old people want to go to the famous Yunzhou Antique City in Shanghai, and Li Yang is also very curious about the antique market in Shanghai. Shanghai is the largest city in China, but the cultural heritage is worse than Yanjing, and I don't know what the ancient culture market of this modern metropolis is.
Yunzhou Antique City is also in Xuhui District, not far from the hotel, Liu Lao and they didn't take the car, slowly walked towards Yunzhou Antique City, walked for about 20 minutes to the destination, the first time I saw the largest antique market in Shanghai, Li Yang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Different from Yanjing's Liulichang and Panjiayuan, Yunzhou Antique City is a nine-storey building as a whole, and the shops are all in the building, which is more like a big shopping mall.
Outside the antique city building, there are a few small streets, these streets are very quiet during the day, and there are many people who set up stalls here in the evening, and they don't go back until very late, these stalls around them are not ghost markets, they are like the stalls near Panjiayuan, they are some small businesses done for people who beg for a living.
When it comes to weekends, there will be stalls here during the day, forming a unique landscape: "Xiao Li, do you want to go with us or alone?" Walking to the gate of Yunzhou Antique City, Liu Lao asked Li Yang with a smile.
"I want to take a look alone first, and then come back to you later!"
Li Yang thought for a while and shook his head, he has a special ability, he can distinguish the age and authenticity of antiques, but after all, there is not much knowledge of antiques, compared to these two real old experts, following the two old experts from time to time to be asked a few words, it is better to go to see things by yourself alone.
"Okay, remember to contact us after reading it later!"
Liu Lao chuckled, there was no surprise that Li Yang wanted to separate, the young people were different from their old people, and the young people were very active. He and Zhou Lao have come here many times, and they will only go to a few familiar old shops to sit, so it is better to separate and let Li Yang go to the activities by himself.
After separating from Liu Lao, Li Yang took Liu Gang and Wu Xiaoli to the antique city first.
On the first floor of Yunzhou Antique City are scattered stalls, just like the greenhouse market of Panjiayuan, small stalls built by counters, full of various works of art.
These things on the first floor can only be called works of art, Li Yang doesn't need special ability to see the real things in it will not exceed 10%, and now Li Yang is much stronger than when he first went to Zhengzhou Antique City, and Li Yang at that time looked like everything was real.
Speaking of which, it is really similar to Zhengzhou Antique City, but it is much larger than Zhengzhou Antique City, and the first floor is not a pure stall, but a counter-style stall.
In the middle of the stall are still mostly bronze Buddha statues and carvings, which are the easiest to counterfeit, and there are many that have been handed down, and there are many people who like them, so they have become the bestsellers of the antique city.
Watching Li Yang rush into the first floor between the vendors, Liu Lao and Zhou Lao both chuckled and shook their heads, and the two took the elevator to the seventh floor together, and they basically didn't look at the things below the seventh floor.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, it's all blue and white heavy weapons in the Ming and Qing dynasties, pick up a leak and go back to buy a house, buy a car and marry a daughter-in-law!"
didn't take a few steps, a vendor's shouting almost didn't bluff Li Yang to the ground, this person really dared to shout, all Ming and Qing blue and white heavy weapons, he thought he was Rong Bao Zhai, even Rong Bao Zhai's Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain store did not dare to say that it was all heavy weapons.
"Little brother, how about looking at this blue and white jar? Wanli official kiln, the price is cheap, you will definitely make a lot of money if you buy it! ”
Seeing that Li Yang stopped to look at the things on the stall, this vendor immediately enthusiastically introduced Li Yang, Wu Xiaoli smiled bitterly and shook her head, there is still such a superb product in the antique city.
"To be honest, if this thing of yours is really Wanli official kiln, it is not an ordinary heavy weapon, it is definitely a national treasure!"
Li Yang sighed lightly, pointed to his small jar that was bigger than a football and shook his head, the vendor's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded: "Little brother, what you said is so right, your eyesight is really good, I can see that you are a person who knows the goods, this blue and white jar was originally two, and now there is only one so the value is greatly reduced, if two pairs are here, it is really a national treasure!" ”
Li Yang looked at this vendor strangely, this vendor was really good, and he couldn't hear what he said.
Wu Xiaoli on the side couldn't stand it anymore, took a step forward, and said softly: "You don't understand what he means, what he means is that if there is this kind of blue and white water in the Wanli period, it is a real national treasure, think about it, the water is something that only existed in the nineteenth century, and we have it in the sixteenth century, what is not a national treasure?" ”
The vendor's face suddenly stiffened when he was smiling, and the water was a chemical, a mixture of acids, and it had a very powerful poisonous surname.
This chemical is usually used in welding, but in recent years, there are many counterfeiters who use the water to imitate the pulp on the blue and white ware, this kind of pulp looks real to novices, but as long as the person who really understands, you can see the mystery at a glance, and it is a kind of counterfeiting method that does not enter the stream.
"Beauty, it's a joke!"
After a full minute, the vendor shook his head and said a word, and then ignored Li Yang and them, Li Yang and they could see that he was a knowledgeable person, and this was not his target customer.
Li Yang quietly gave Wu Xiaoli a thumbs up, he didn't have any interest in this vendor, his so-called Ming and Qing Dynasty heavy weapons are all modern imitations, and they are all modern imitations of no level.
After walking a way, after looking at the things on these stalls, Li Yang shook his head in disappointment, but there are also a few real old things, but the value is not too high, and there are even some that are not collected at all.
"In this kind of place, the most important thing is to exercise eyesight, when I was a child, my grandfather took me to Zhengzhou, one by one, the stalls were seen, the fake ones were seen more, and they could really be recognized naturally!"
Wu Xiaoli also shook her head, stood next to Li Yang and said softly, seeing this lively antique hall, she seemed to remember the experience of her grandfather taking her Taobao when she was a child.
Li Yang glanced at Wu Xiaoli in surprise, and immediately nodded: "What you said is also right, if you see too much, your eyesight will naturally improve, we are here to learn, and we are not really here to Taobao, let's go, continue to watch!" ”
What Li Yang needs most now is practice, whether it is true or false, and what is here is Li Yang's best practice object. Li Yang was a little disappointed just now, but Wu Xiaoli's words made him figure it out, since he came to study, it didn't matter if it was true or not.
After a few more turns, Li Yang stretched his waist vigorously, these laps were not in vain, and they really let them pick up a small leak. Wu Xiaoli was holding a seal in her hand, which she bought for three hundred yuan, and the actual value of this seal was about two thousand yuan, and Wu Xiaoli made a little profit.
"Let's go up to the second floor and have a look!"
Looking at the remaining nearly half of the places that he hadn't visited, Li Yang couldn't help but sigh, it's annoying to see too many fake things, just study it.
Wu Xiaoli has no opinion, these things can indeed exercise eyesight, but they also need a degree, really read the things in the hall on the first floor, don't think about looking at other things today, it is estimated that they will all be dizzy.
The second floor is very similar to Zhengzhou Antique City, they are all separate compartment shops, but the decoration here is more luxurious, the shops are larger, and the doors here are glass doors, and the items placed inside can be clearly seen from the outside.
There are a lot of people on the second floor, and there are basically customers in each store, and there are many customers who are constantly walking around in the corridor, so it can be seen that the number of people who play collecting in China has indeed increased a lot.
Li Yang suddenly turned around and entered a shop next to him, which was a shop specializing in ancient calligraphy and painting. Ancient calligraphy and painting has always been Li Yang's weakness, He Lao has talked about some calligraphy and painting everyone's artistic conception, but this thing is not something that can be understood by listening, it must be deeply understood, if you can, Li Yang plans to buy some genuine products and go back to study well.
"200,000, not a penny, you don't want to leave now!"
A young customer standing at the back suddenly shook his head and squealed, and put away a long scroll from the glass counter, the paper of which was brown and looked like an old painting.
"It's already very good for us to give you 50,000 yuan, it's true that you are an old painting, but the preservation is not very good, it has been damp and worn, and it is not clear whose painting it is, you will definitely not be able to sell it for 200,000!"
A fat man in his fifties with glasses at the counter shook his head incessantly, and then stepped aside, ignoring the young customer who had taken the painting.
