Chapter 565: Hailao Porcelain

PS: Updated, ask for monthly pass support.

"Applejack, what do you think should be?"

Under Song Yinghua's bewitchment, the aunt was a little embarrassed and looked directly at her son.

"Mom, didn't I tell you, the wedding is all arranged."

At this time, Yu Jie said with a smile: "The wedding doesn't care whether the wind is beautiful or not, as long as it is suitable." I have also planned all kinds of expenses, and there is no need to change them. Besides, the teacher's son-in-law is an expert, and we are right to listen to him. ”

"Yes, listen to you." The aunt thought about it and felt that her son was right. Song Yinghua was kind again, but there was always a layer of separation, and the aunt still believed in Baye's mother, and then chose to believe in Wang Guan.

After all, my aunt is just a pure and simple character, but it doesn't mean that she is ignorant. She still has a clear understanding of the most basic intimacy, and the relics were discovered by Wang Guan, which helped her to talk about the price from 350,000 to 50,000 or 1 million, which is naturally more inclined to Wang Guan from a reasonable point of view.

The reason why I hesitated just now was mainly because I was worried about my son's thoughts. Now even his son thinks like this, so it must be one-sided, and he falls to Wang Guan without reservation.

At that moment, the aunt said sincerely: "Eldest nephew, you can do what you say, please leave everything to you." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I won't let you suffer." Wang Guan nodded solemnly, then turned his head and smiled: "Mr. Song, it seems that we have to continue talking." ”

"No need to talk about it, let's get on the auction." Song Yinghua smiled bitterly, and his expression was a little helpless. The spring auctions of major auction houses are in full swing, and his company is certainly no exception. Most of the funds are invested in propaganda work, and it is not impossible to get two million, but after taking it out, it is more difficult for the company's capital to turnover.

Moreover, as Song Yinghua said, he was not sure what the final turnover of the relics would be. If it is earned, it is naturally a lot of credit, but if it is lost, it is a matter of his vision. Although he is the manager of an auction company, he is still a senior wage earner in the final analysis. Naturally, stability is required. lest the credit not be fished, but eaten and hung up.

With a decision, Song Yinghua immediately invited a few people to the auction company. It was mainly Wang Guan and Baye who accompanied Yu Jie, and the aunt and Baye's mother stayed to continue to decorate the new house.

Soon after, several people came to the auction company, which was a very luxurious and atmospheric commercial building. The auction company occupies the first layer, and its strength may not be as good as that of Rongbao and Guardian, but it can be regarded as a leader in the industry.

After arriving, Yu Jie followed Song Yinghua to go through the procedures for consignment auction, while Wang Guan and Baye were waiting outside. Take a look at the jewelry on the counter. During the period, the little sister of the shopping guide came to introduce enthusiastically, but Wang Guan politely declined.

The little girl also smiled politely and stepped back lightly, definitely not muttering nonsense such as not looking at it if you can't afford it.

Speaking of the job of shopping guide, it is also very difficult, enthusiastically and hard-working, customers think you are very annoying, quite uncomfortable. If you just stand on the sidelines and watch, maybe there will be customers who complain that the store is bullying, and the dog looks down on people, etc. It's completely possible to use the near. Far away is disrespectful to describe.

This is Wang Guan's personal experience in the first few days of opening the store, so there will be a lot of emotion.

"What about your manager, tell him to come out......"

Just as Wang Guan sighed, seven or eight people walked in outside the gate. The leader is a big man with a stout figure and a bit of horizontal flesh on his face. Next to them were equally sturdy youths. A group of people rushed into the store in a rage, which was quite a bit of a bad coming.

Anyway, Wang Guan has sharp eyes and can see very clearly. A little girl who stayed at the counter had a nervous expression on her face, and her fingers had been secretly resting on the alarm. If something is wrong, the alarm bell will be ringed immediately.

"What about the manager. What about your manager, tell him to come out immediately......" The strong man at the head had an angry expression, but he was just yelling, and he didn't make any other moves.

Seeing this situation, the little girl in charge of the reception secretly breathed a sigh of relief, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said cautiously: "This gentleman, may I ask you what ......is the matter with the manager?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let him come out and talk about it."

The strong man's eyes widened, and the little girl's face turned white, and he hurriedly went back to the manager's office without saying a word.

After a while, Song Yinghua walked out quickly, saw the posture of the strong man and the others, frowned slightly, and then showed a warm smile on his face, and asked tentatively: "I am the person in charge here, I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”

"You're the manager?"

After receiving a positive response, the strong man's face changed, he grinned, and stretched out his hand very enthusiastically: "Hello manager, my name is Gao Zhuang, please take care of ......"

"Gao Zhuang (Zhuang)? Sure enough, he was very strong. Song Yinghua was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and was a little more relaxed. At least looking at Gao Zhuang's appearance, it doesn't look like he's here to find trouble.

With such an idea, Song Yinghua naturally became more calm, and his smile became thicker: "It turned out to be Brother Gao, and they can be regarded as acquaintances, and everyone takes care of each other." ”

After greeting politely, Song Yinghua naturally sounded: "I don't know if Brother Gao came to the door this time, what is there to take care of?" ”

"Bring the stuff."

Don't look at Gao Zhuang's stout appearance, in fact, he is also a thick and fine person, and he also understood the meaning of Song Yinghua's words, and then waved his hand directly, and someone came up behind him with a cardboard box.

At this time, Gao Zhuang bent down to open the cardboard box, his face was a little mysterious, and he whispered: "Manager, look at how much these things can be worth." ”

"Huh?" Song Yinghua was a little surprised, and looked at it, only to see some ceramics wrapped in newspaper pads in the cardboard box. There are whole cups and bowls, as well as broken plates and saucers.

"This is ......" Song Yinghua picked up an intact cup and looked at it for a moment, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "You caught it at sea?" ”

"Yes, the manager is indeed an expert." Gao Zhuang grinned and said, "We are lucky to catch these things as soon as we go down the net." I thought it should be a valuable thing, so I brought it to the manager. ”

When Song Yinghua heard this, he just smiled, naturally he wouldn't believe Gao Zhuang's words. You must know that these things can't be caught by casting a net casually. However, he did not mean to debunk it, and continued to observe the objects in the cardboard box to identify the authenticity of them.

"Hailao porcelain?"

At the same time, Wang Guan also walked over and looked at it with some curiosity. He vaguely heard a few key words, enough for him to determine the origin of the contents of the box.

The so-called Hailao porcelain, as the name suggests, is something that is caught in the sea. You must know that China is a big country in the invention and manufacture of ceramics, and a small amount of ceramics has been exported overseas since the Han Dynasty.

According to historical records, Europeans considered it an honor to own Chinese porcelain. They collected a large number of Chinese porcelain, which led to the export of Chinese porcelain. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Maritime Silk Road was very popular, and almost every day there were domestic or foreign ships, loaded with silk, tea, and porcelain, shuttling back and forth on the sea.

Due to the large loading capacity of the ship, usually an ordinary medium-sized merchant ship can carry tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain, so there is a saying in the antique market that "one ship has ten tombs".

Originally, the price of Hailao porcelain was very low, after all, it was often soaked in seawater for hundreds of years, and the surface of the porcelain would definitely leave traces of corrosion, matte, or form patches, and there was no glamorous feeling. In this case, even if the price of Hailao porcelain is not high, it can often be obtained for tens or hundreds of pieces.

However, with the continuous heating up of the antique economy in recent years, the porcelain in the hands of collectors can no longer meet the demand of the market, and everyone's attention has shifted to Hailao porcelain, which has also made the price of Hailao porcelain continue to skyrocket.

Now the price of Hailao porcelain has reached tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands are not uncommon. In particular, some auction houses regularly hold monopoly sales of Hailao porcelain from time to time, which further contributes to the price increase trend of Hailao porcelain.

Of course, the result of the popularity of Hailao porcelain means that a large number of fakes have followed. But the real Hailao porcelain, that is after a very long period of seawater immersion, even if the counterfeiter is patient, it is estimated that it will not be able to wait for one or two hundred years, so it is just to take something and soak it in the sea for a year or two.

In this way, the distinction between the real and the fake is extremely clear. Anyway, if you grasp a few key points, you can easily identify the difference between the two.

At the right time, Wang Guan smiled and asked, "Don't you mind if I take a look too, right?" ”

"I can't ask for it." Song Yinghua said with a smile: "Brother Wang is an expert, and he just happened to help with the palm of his hand." ”

"Experts don't dare to be, everyone learns from each other......"

While speaking, Wang Guan picked up a fragment and looked at it. The first feeling is that the fragments are very dry and thorough, and even a little hard, which is precisely the distinctive feature of Hailao porcelain.

Don't think that porcelain should become moist and crunchy after being soaked in sea water for hundreds of years, that's a mistake. It is important to know that seawater also contains many substances that can be fused with the porcelain itself, and even if it does not enhance the hardness of the porcelain, it will not make the porcelain brittle. Otherwise, the sea water would have been soaked in porcelain a long time ago, and there would be any sea fishing porcelain.

In addition, porcelain is also the same as people, after soaking in the sea for a long time, there will be a shortage of water after coming ashore. After all, seawater is saline and can absorb water. Therefore, after the porcelain leaves the seawater and dries, it looks very dry, and there is no original shine of the porcelain at all.

In addition, because the porcelain has been dormant in the seabed for two or three hundred years, it has been washed away by the corrosion of seawater and undercurrents, resulting in damage to the glaze, and the surface layer of the glaze is like shedding a layer of skin. Some even form a layer of oxide layer, resulting in the formation of a whole glaze.

As for fakes, the glaze of porcelain is often as smooth as new, and the glaze is not peeled by seawater. Coupled with the dampness of the feet and the absence of oxide layers, there is obviously a significant difference from the genuine product.

Therefore, as long as you grasp these points, you can easily identify the authenticity of Hailao porcelain.

Not only Wang Guan, but Song Yinghua looked at it for a while, and he could determine that the objects in the carton belonged to the genuine Hailao porcelain that had just been salvaged...... (To be continued.) )
