Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The world of antiques has always been a place of right and wrong. Often the same antique has completely different evaluations in the mouths of two experts. And in many cases, collectors do not recognize the appreciation of their collections by so-called "experts".
However, there are exceptions, at least in China, where there are two people who can really convince both collectors and experts unconditionally!
There is God's Eye Zhang in the north, and Chrysostom Forest in the south!
With just one sentence, these two people can make the collector burn the beautiful picture of Tang Bohu that he just bought for five million, and can also turn the dog bowl in a farmhouse into a sought-after blue and white porcelain.
Among them, "Chrysostom Lin" refers to Shanghai's jewelry king, Lin Jiaxin, the famous "Chrysostom Yuyan" in the antique industry.
is also at the helm of the three major families in Shanghai, of course Lin Jiaxin wants to give Ye Zhengling face, not to mention, there is a "little ancestor" on the stage who he must never be guilty of!
In full view of everyone, Lin Jiaxin took the Pisces pendant from Ye Wenwen's hand and carefully examined it.
Two minutes later, he looked at the audience waiting for an answer and chuckled, "Although I am not a god, I can be 100% sure that the jade quality of this Pisces is quite ordinary, and it is not any precious jade. I believe that the Fang family present also knows this! ”
In the laughter of everyone, Ye Wenwen glanced at Zhong Xiaoman, who was slightly pale, and asked coquettishly: "Uncle Lin, according to your statement, this Pisces should be of little value?" ”
Shaking his head unexpectedly, Lin Jiaxin sighed: "The value of antiques varies from person to person, and its materials are not the main factor that determines its value......
Ye Wenwen was slightly stunned, but Ye Zhengling beside her reacted and asked in surprise: "Lao Lin, is there anything else that can't be said about this ordinary Pisces pendant?" ”
Nodding, Lin Jiaxin said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you noticed the little poem engraved on this fish scale?" ”
When Ye Zhengling took the Pisces pendant and watched, Lin Jiaxin had already recited softly: "A little similar and a little not, but the fragrant soul returns under the moon." A glimpse of the spring dream without a trace, the most important thing is vaguely. ”
There were guests in the audience who loved literature and immediately reacted: "Hey, isn't this Ji Xiaolan's poem?" ”
"Not bad." Lin Jiaxin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Not only the poem is Ji Xiaolan's, but even this Pisces pendant is Ji Xiaolan's!" ”
Yes?!
When everyone in the audience was surprised, Ye Wenwen also asked eagerly: "Isn't Ji Xiaolan a minister of the Qing Dynasty?" How could he ask for such an inferior jade pendant? Uncle Lin, are you mistaken? ”
"Nonsense, Wenwen, how do you talk? Could your Uncle Lin be wrong? Ye Zhengling scolded his daughter, turned his head and apologized to Lin Jiaxin: "Old Lin, children are not sensible, don't take it to heart......"
Lin Jiaxin waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's no wonder that the eldest niece would be puzzled, if I hadn't seen a special description of this Pisces pendant in the lone ancient book "Notes Addendum to Reading Wei Caotang", I wouldn't have believed that Ji Xiaolan, who is famous for his unruliness, would actually treat his concubine Shen Ming?" There is such a deep affection! ”
"There's a story in this?!" Ye Zhengling said with some interest: "Lao Lin, tell us about it, and let us all increase our knowledge!" ”
This mention was responded to instantly, and more than seventy percent of the audience asked loudly in the audience: "Yes, Mr. Lin, you can talk about it!" ”
You must know that the two major "Taishan Beidou" in the Chinese antique industry have their own unique skills.
"Shenyan Zhang" has unparalleled eyesight, not only can judge the authenticity of antiques at a glance, but also can directly see what the materials of antiques are made and where they are produced without the help of any instruments, and even how many years the pen and ink on the calligraphy and painting are from now, he can also see through them at a glance. Those eyes are worthy of the comment of "wonderful".
Although Lin Jiaxin, the "Golden Mouth Forest", does not have that pair of magical eyes, he is well-read and can find a lot of interesting anecdotes of antiques from various classics, and add value to the antiques.
Comparatively speaking, experts in the antiques industry are more reverent of "God's Eye", while collectors are more welcoming to Lin Jiaxin.
Now that I heard that Lin Jiaxin was about to start "talking about the ancients" again, the audience naturally held their breath one by one, for fear that an oversight would miss this ancient "gossip"!
"As we all know, Ji Xiaolan's favorite is Shen Ming?, but few people know that Ji Xiaolan and Shen Ming? 's acquaintance is because of a pisces sold by a street vendor...... For Ji Xiaolan, although this Pisces is of inferior quality, it represents the most sincere feelings in his heart! Personally, I think it's fitting that this girl would use this Pisces as an engagement gift! ”
After listening to Lin Jiaxin's "story", the eyes of everyone in the audience invariably fell on Pisces. The disdainful look at first has now turned into envy. If it weren't for the fact that this was Ye Wenwen's engagement gift, I am afraid that there would be interested collectors who would come up to negotiate the exchange.
Glancing at Zhong Xiaoman again, Ye Wenwen suddenly asked, "Uncle Lin, even if this Pisces pendant has witnessed Ji Xiaolan's love, its own materials and knife work are extremely poor, so it's not worth much, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only those people who were still immersed in Ji Xiaolan's beautiful love and players who were thinking about Pisces were a little dissatisfied with Ye Wenwen, but even Ye Zhengling glared at his daughter, with a face of "hatred of iron does not make steel"!
Lin Jiaxin also shook his head and smiled: "As I said just now, the true value of an antique does not depend on its material or knife work, but on the meaning it represents. Maybe as far as you're concerned, it's too expensive to spend 20,000 or 30,000 yuan on this Pisces. But for others, the price of millions is worth it......"
Ye Wenwen didn't seem to notice that she had been disdained by many people, and still questioned "tenaciously": "Will anyone really be willing to bid millions to buy such a broken thing?" ”
Lin Jiaxin glanced at Ye Zhengling, whose face was already a little blue, and said with an interesting smile: "If you are willing to sell, I am willing to bid one million!" ”
"That's ......"
"Wenwen!" Ye Zhengling snorted and said slightly angrily: "Does Dad usually lose you?" You're going to trade your engagement gift for cash? ”
Ye Wenwen, who had been caught in the quagmire of jealousy because of Zhou Zongyou's "affectionate" gaze on Zhong Xiaoman, was finally "woken up" by her father, and felt the "contempt" in the eyes of the audience, and her face couldn't help but turn white.
However, the words have already been spoken, and it is too late to take them back. Moreover, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want anything related to Zhong Xiaoman to appear in her life with Zhou Zongyou in the future.
So, Ye Wenwen straightened her face and said, "Dad, you misunderstood, I'm not greedy for money, but I plan to do something more meaningful!" I plan to donate the money from the sale of Pisces to the China Charity Federation to accumulate blessings for the future life of Zongyou and me......"
Believe it or not, whether it is true or false, the audience applauded enthusiastically.
Lin Jiaxin also said playfully: "Since the eldest niece wants to accumulate blessings, then I, who is an uncle, can't be too picky!" Well, I'll buy this Pisces for two million! ”
Shen Ming?
