Chapter 574: The so-called master
Although there are many colors of crane dzi, red, yellow, green, purple, etc., but on a bead, there are generally one or two colors. It can be difficult to create multiple colors on a small bead with natural dyes.
However, according to historical records, there were indeed colorful cranes made in ancient times that were specially modeled on the seven colors of the rainbow, but the process was extremely difficult and the success rate was very low, so there were very few natural inheritances.
Each bead is dyed in seven colors, and it can be made into a string, even if a woman's wrist is thin and she doesn't need too many beads, but it is already difficult to find in the market. However, for an old brand like the Tokyo Historical Museum, it is not uncommon to have a few strings.
"I see." Lin Huanting finally figured it out.
"The crane dzi is similar to our Huaxia horn. The horn is the walrus ivory dyeing, and the Qing Palace Office did a lot at that time. It seems that the craftsmanship and aesthetics of antiques and cultural toys are the same. Tang Yi then said two more words.
Finally, Osamu Kono finished advocating the Tokyo Historical Museum, and Lu Shutong said: "Let's enter the second link, question time!" ”
The designated reporter was naturally named first, and the question was nothing more than some superficial things, such as the rarity of the Ru kiln, the situation of the other two Ru kiln lotus pen washes, the process and origin of the Ru kiln lotus pen wash, whether it was legal, and so on.
For these, the Bath Dredging Tong was naturally prepared, and the answer was in place and decent.
However, there was a reporter from T country who was not arranged, but asked a question that Lu Shutong did not think of in advance: "I heard that Mr. Tucker, the original owner of this Ruyao lotus pen wash, suddenly appeared mentally ill today, delirious, and almost mentally retarded, is it related to this Ru kiln lotus pen wash?" ”
"I don't know what kind of relationship you mean by relationship? We spent a total of 10 million US dollars on the Ruyao Lotus Brush Wash, which is much lower than the actual market value estimate, but it is also a huge amount of money. As you said earlier, he suddenly developed a mental illness today, and when we bought it, Mr. Tucker was not only sane, but I think he was much more shrewd than the average person! At the end of the bath, he didn't forget to smile.
"If you're very shrewd, why would I sell you a heavy weapon at a low price?" The local journalist was not invited, but received the news himself. But since he is a reporter from the regular media, the organizer of the Tokyo Historical Museum naturally has no reason to stand in the way.
However, the journalist investigated Tucker in advance. And the questions he asked were not the big road goods that had been detailed in the press release, but the most newsworthy questions.
Feng Lu Shutong was just about to answer, but Osamu Kono actually opened his mouth first, "Interlacing is like separating mountains, shrewdness and professionalism are two different things." Mr. Tucker inherited his uncle's inheritance, a large amount, but he knew nothing about most of the antiques, and even told him that it was a Ru kiln with great sincerity. In fact, we could have bought it at a lower price! ”
"That's right!" "In Mr. Tucker's opinion, even if this thing is sold for 100,000 dollars, it is already a very happy thing. Why do I say he is shrewd, when we signed the contract, he saw that it was written 'Ruyao', and he checked it on the Internet, and suddenly the price was too high. ”
"Now that you've checked it, why only $10 million? I also checked it, and at the same time consulted experts, this Ru kiln azure glazed lotus pen wash, if you go to the auction platform of a large international company, the estimated price is 50 million US dollars! Maybe even higher! The reporter grabbed this point and did not let go.
However, at this time, the wind dredged Tong was already at ease, "That's why it is said that interlacing is like separating mountains!" It's useless to just check, you have to consult a reliable expert. What Tucker looked up on the Internet was only the auction prices of some so-called Ru kilns, and there were even things that were advertised as Ru kilns with a final price of only a few hundred thousand dollars. That's how it went, and in the jargon of the antique shop, we've missed it. ”
At this time, some people in the collector industry below couldn't help it, stood up and interjected: "This reporter, you are not in the circle, don't say 10 million dollars, some people can pick up tens of millions of dollars of things for a few hundred dollars, you are really a bit of a layman with this question!" ”
Osamu Kono stretched out his hand to the collector, "Please let Mr. Reporter finish asking." Since we are holding a press conference, we need to know everything and say everything. Later, friends in the collecting community can also continue to ask questions! ”
"I'm a layman indeed. I have one last question, though. I heard that at that time, Tucker also found a Chinese antique master to help him take the helm, Ru kiln is famous in China, can this master not recognize the value of this Ru kiln lotus brush wash? The reporter nodded at Osamu Kono, and then asked.
"When Miss Frank went there, she had never seen any antique masters from Huaxia, only Tucker and his most trusted butler, Zaren. However, the so-called masters, either say it themselves, in the antique shop, everyone thinks very highly of themselves, and Mr. Tucker is a layman, so, hehe. Since Kono Osamu let the reporter finish speaking, he answered the question himself, and at the end he sneered very implicitly.
"Since Mr. Kono explained it like this, can I understand that everyone doesn't want to suffer, but it's always the high-level people who make a profit?" The reporter smiled.
"It's your business how you interpret it, we're just stating the facts." Osamu Kono was also smiling, "However, there is another sentence I must emphasize, there is no fixed value standard for antiques, this Ru kiln azure glazed lotus brush wash, in our opinion, is a priceless treasure, but some people only want to sell it for money." ”
"I don't have a problem, in the end I just want to use the Chinese idiom to say, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high." The reporter said that he was going to sit down.
"It's true that the road is one foot high, but the magic is one foot high, but it may not be!" At this time, Tang Yi suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice.
The reporter who was going to sit down couldn't help but turn his head to look at Tang Yi, looking at this heroic young man, out of professional sensitivity, he faintly felt that something big was coming!
"What do you mean, sir?" The reporter didn't wait for Osamu Kono and Lu Shutong on the stage to react, and asked first.
"I'm the so-called master that Tucker hired." Tang Yi withdrew and walked to the front of the stage, "Mr. Kono, meet again!" However, we were in a hurry when we met last time, and we didn't expect to meet again today. ”
"Mr. Tang!" Kono's pupils contracted suddenly.
"Mr. Kono, is this Mr. Tang a so-called master who thinks highly of himself?" The reporter was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he looked at the key points and made up for it.
