Chapter 148: He Lao's Request
"Hello He Lao!"
Li Yang walked over and bowed slightly, he sincerely admired the old man in front of him.
"Here, sit down!" He Lao nodded and smiled, and pointed to the sofa behind Li Yang for him to sit down and talk.
"I wanted to come back tomorrow morning, but when I arrived, you sent someone to pick me up!"
Li Yang looked at the time, shook his head with a wry smile, it is now more than eight o'clock in the evening, it has been dark for a long time in Yanjing, He Lao has always been a person who likes to go to bed early and get up early, Li Yang understands that if He Lao is not waiting for himself, I am afraid that he will already enter the bedroom at this time.
"Since you have arrived in Yanjing, you should come to the house, the home is always much stronger than the hotel, I don't blame you for this is the first time you come, if you still sneak up to me next time, see if I don't punish you!"
He Lao shook his head and smiled, Li Yang was stunned and stunned, and then nodded, Li Yang knew very well that He Lao was very harsh, in fact, he was good for himself, not as a real junior, how could he say such a thing.
"Yes, I remember!" Li Yang nodded hurriedly, very moved in his heart.
"Actually, I'm in a hurry to let you come this time, mainly because there is one thing!"
After being silent for a while, He Lao said slowly, and waved his hand back, and after a while, someone sent two boxes and put them on the sofa in front of Li Yang, Li Yang didn't know how this person appeared.
"You look at these two things first!"
He Lao motioned to Li Yang to open the box, and when Li Yang opened the two boxes, he was immediately stunned, the two boxes were filled with jade, and from the style point of view, they were all ancient jade, very delicate ancient jade.
This is not the reason why Li Yang was most surprised, one of these two pieces of ancient jade was actually seen by Li Yang, that is, the high imitation of the jade horse he exposed in Nanyang.
"He Lao, why is this thing here for you?"
Li Yang remembers this jade horse very clearly, it was taken out by Shen Hao as a representative of the Zhengzhou Jade Association, I heard that it was taken by Shen Hao from abroad at a large price, and now Shen Hao's things appear here in He Lao, which makes Li Yang a little inexplicable.
"I found someone to buy it from the original owner!" He Lao shook his head and said, "This is not the key, you look at the other piece!" ”
"Bought?"
Li Yang was a little puzzled, and immediately relieved, He Lao has a lot of high-quality imitations in his house, which are specially used to warn others, maybe He Lao has such a purpose in recovering this piece of Zhou Fangzi Gangyu.
Li Yang took a closer look at another piece of ancient jade, which was also a small jade carving, carved with a unicorn beast, such ancient jade generally has the meaning of wealth and auspiciousness.
The unicorn is very exquisitely carved, the knife line is smooth, especially the eyes of the unicorn are as real as the real one, lifelike.
In addition, the material of this ancient jade is also high-grade white jade, and this ancient jade is very consistent with the characteristics of Zigang jade in all aspects, Li Yang's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly launched a special ability to envelop this ancient jade.
Sure enough, this is really a piece of Zhou Fangzi Gangyu, but this time Zhou Fang's secret mark is not in the mouth of the unicorn, but under the scale armor on the waist, the secret mark is carved very small, I am afraid that it can only be found with a magnifying glass.
"He Lao, you are also a piece of Zhou Fangzi Gangyu?"
After a while, Li Yang asked softly, he was asking, but he was already sure in his heart that this was Zhou Fangzi Gangyu, and he also understood that He Lao must know, so he took it out for himself to see.
He Lao nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Yes, this was found in an auction company in Yanjing not long ago, and then it was sent to me here, in addition to this piece, a piece of Zhou Fangzi Gangyu was also found in Shanghai, and there are three pieces of Zhou Fangzi Gangyu that have been found so far, and I don't know how many others have not been found!" ”
In the end, He Lao sighed again, he didn't ask Li Yang how he could see that this was Zhou Fang, since Li Yang could see the first piece, he had the ability to see the second piece, in fact, Li Yang was very satisfied that Li Yang could find out that this was Zhou Fang He Lao so quickly.
"You asked me to come because you wanted me to see how many imitations there were?"
After being silent for a while, Li Yang asked slowly, after He Lao took out these two pieces of Zhou Fangzi Gangyu, Li Yang almost understood what He Lao meant.
"You guessed right, I want you to check how many Zhou imitations still exist in the country first, I heard that you are going to open an auction company, if you do this well, it will also be beneficial to your future company!"
He Lao nodded, and said: "Now the major auction companies have been forced to postpone the auction of various ancient jades because of the appearance of Zhou Fangzi Gangyu, and the losses are very great. But this is not what I like, ancient cultural exchanges need to flow to be able to communicate well, and now everyone is frightened by Zhou Fang who wants to buy and dare not buy, and can't sell if you want to sell, this is the most painful thing, the most unwilling thing to see! ”
He Lao shook his head again and said: "Many people are circulating, Zhou Ye not only imitated Zigang jade but also imitated various other ancient jade, and even Hongshan ancient jade can be imitated, the trouble is that people are panicking, under this kind of rumor, I am afraid that in the future, everyone will not dare to buy not only ancient jade, but also other things!" ”
Li Yang nodded silently, if Zhou Ye only imitated Zigang jade, it would not be terrible, after all, the number of Zigang jade is small, but Zhou Ye has the level of imitation Zigang jade, who can guarantee that he can't imitate other ancient jade, even if Zhou Ye does not imitate it, everyone does not dare to buy it because of worry.
Now it's just Zhou Ye's Zhou imitation, if there is a cow imitation in the calligraphy and painting world, and a horse imitation in the ancient porcelain world, then don't talk about the exchange of valuable antiques in the future.
Although the matter is not as serious as imagined, the panic is real, and now it is only the beginning of the signs, and we must find a way to extinguish this trend.
At this time, Li Yang finally understood why He Lao was worried that he was going the wrong way, a Zhou Ye was full of storms in the city, and if he wanted to add a Li Fang, he didn't know what it would become.
"He Lao, I understand what you mean, I will go to see these big auction companies, if I find that there are Zhou imitations, I will point them all out!"
Li Yang glanced up at He Lao, who is a real antique lover and has indeed been making contributions to China's ancient culture, which has always made Li Yang admire.
"It's not necessary to point it out, just tell those responsible people to let them understand, if there are too many imitations, it will also cause chaos!"
He Lao waved his hand, Li Yang is still too young, if Zhou Fang is less, it is fine, if it is more, he pointed out that whose Zhou Fang is equivalent to offending anyone, which is not good for his future development.
"I see, I'll do what you want!" Li Yang smiled bitterly and nodded, this is hard work.
"I know the hard work of this job, but it's a pity that there are no more than ten people in the world who can see Zhou Fang, although you are young, but you are the person who discovered Zhou Fang, in the absence of a suitable candidate, this task can only be handed over to you, but you can rest assured, this job is not done in vain!"
He Lao looked at Li Yang's bitter gourd face with a smile, took out a small notebook from his body, and then put it in front of Li Yang.
"What is this?"
Li Yang looked at this delicate little book in surprise, this kind of small book Li Yang is very familiar with, and many units and companies have ID books like this.
"Open it and take a look!" He Lao said with a smile.
Li Yang slowly opened this small book, and the first thing that appeared in front of him was a photo, the person in this photo Li Yang is too familiar, can you not be familiar with it after reading it for more than 20 years, that is him.
This is really a document book, the issuing unit is the Palace Museum, and the position is an ancient jade expert, Li Yang looked at this small book and his mind was a little vague, when did he become an ancient jade expert, or an ancient jade expert of the Palace Museum.
"When you go out to check Zhou Fang, you must always have a decent identity that can see people, this is what I found an old friend to do for you!"
He Lao saw Li Yang's doubts and explained with a smile.
"However, this, my level is limited, is the title of this expert too big!" Li Yang asked He Lao cautiously. Some people have secretly called Li Yang an expert in ancient jade, but after all, they are a minority, and as soon as this book is issued, then he is a legitimate ancient jade expert, who dares to question the level of the Palace Museum.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, don't you know how good you are until now? I'll tell you, my old friend didn't agree to it at first, but as soon as he heard that it was you, he did it immediately, and you definitely have the right to do it now! ”
He Lao laughed, and Li Yang lowered his head a little embarrassed, in fact, Li Yang did underestimate his current reputation, few ordinary people know Li Yang, but those who play antiques, especially the masters who play ancient jade, there are really no people who don't know Li Yang now.
"Then I'll put it away!"
Li Yang slowly put away the small book in front of him, Li Yang's heart was also very happy, this is an expert from the Palace Museum, much stronger than his ordinary membership of the Jade Association, even the people of the China Treasure Association didn't dare to say anything when they saw his certificate.
"Don't underestimate this little book, with it, as long as it is not a special area that needs to be reported, you can enter and exit the Palace Museum at will in the future!"
He Lao smiled, Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then showed a burst of ecstasy, which was really a huge benefit for him.
"I see, thank you He Lao!"
Li Yang hurriedly thanked him, being able to freely enter and leave the Forbidden City Museum to observe those national treasure-level collections up close, which can definitely greatly improve Li Yang's professional level in antiques, which is a real level.
"You can stay here for the past few days in Yanjing, take a day off tomorrow, let Liu Gang take you to Yanjing for a walk, and the day after tomorrow, the people from the auction company will take the initiative to come to you, and then you can identify all their ancient jade!"
He Lao smiled and shook his head, Li Yang was like a child at this moment, but Li Yang at this time seemed the most real, and this was also He Lao's favorite Li Yang.
He Lao arranged a separate room for Li Yang, and Li Yang didn't fall asleep until late on the first night he came to Yanjing, almost by the way, he became an expert, or an expert in the Palace Museum, I'm afraid that anyone who encounters such a change will not be able to adapt so quickly.
slept late, but Li Yang got up early, got up early the next morning and went out with Liu Gang, and He Lao also specially prepared a separate car for Li Yang.
This car is the black sedan that picked up Li Yang yesterday, I didn't see it clearly last night, but today I finally saw it clearly, this is actually an old-fashioned red flag.
He Lao not only gave Li Yang a special car, but also equipped a driver, but unfortunately the driver didn't talk much, he only obeyed Li Yang's orders, and he drove wherever Li Yang went.
"Let's go to the glass factory first, I've heard about that place for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to see it!"
After talking to the driver, it was very boring, Li Yang directly ordered the place to go, and when he spoke, the car drove out of the courtyard gate of the community, and Li Yang was surprised to find that the doorman standing at the door was actually a person wearing a military uniform.
However, when he thought of He Lao's identity, Li Yang was not surprised, and he was still a little excited that he could come to such a place for a night.
The driver listened to Li Yang's words, didn't say anything, and drove out directly, and no one stopped their car from going out.
Liulichang is located outside Yanjing Peace Gate. The old Yanjing City is also called the Sijiu City, there are twenty city gates inside and outside, the Peace Gate is one of them, in the era of the old Yanjing City, this is actually the suburb of Yanjing, until Jiajing expanded Yanjing City, it became a real urban area.
Before the expansion of Jiajing, the glaze factory was a kiln mouth for firing glaze, after the expansion, the firing glaze was not in the city, and it was relocated to the Mentougou district, but the name of the glaze factory has been handed down.
In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it became a place to compile the Siku Quanshu because it was clean, and later many literati and writers or students who entered Beijing to take the exam liked to run here, and over time it formed a cultural street based on culture.
After coming, there are a lot of antique calligraphy and painting shop business here, slowly to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, here has become the most famous antique street in Yanjing City, especially after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many antique boutiques that flow out of the palace are sold here, and also make this place famous throughout the country.
In modern times, it has become a resort for antiques, as long as you really like to collect, people who like antiques, there is no one who does not know this place.
In Liulichang, there are still many century-old shops.
Li Yang took Liu Gang into the Liuli Factory, and the driver stayed in the car, Li Yang asked him to come down to play together and did not agree, persuaded for a while without results Li Yang had to take Liu Gang in, secretly planning to go back and must tell He Lao, the car just stay and drive by himself, the driver will not want it.
Although Li Yang has never been to the glass factory, but I have heard people talk about this place, the origin and common sense of these glass factories just now were introduced to Liu Gang by Li Yang, but unfortunately it is useless for him to introduce, whether it is a glass factory or a glass factory, there is no difference to Liu Gang.
"Let's go, let's go inside first!"
Li Yang was very excited, rubbing his palms and constantly looking at one shop after another, there must be fakes in the glaze factory, but there are also many genuine goods in the corresponding factory, Li Yang's current collection can be said to be extremely rare, just take this opportunity to bring some real antiques home.
