What's going on?

The buyers present looked at each other, and they couldn't see through what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the auction company. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ahem, let's enter the Taobao link. First of all, let me introduce the auction process of Taobao, these boxes contain porcelain that has just been salvaged from the bottom of the sea and has not yet been cleaned up. As for the value of these porcelain, it is up to the eyes of the guests to determine it. By the way, it is likely that there are priceless treasures in these boxes, and whether you can find them depends on the luck of everyone here. ”

Manager Zheng introduced to the buyers present with a smile on his face, but the people who came to participate in this auction were all experienced international buyers and collectors, all of whom were human spirits, so naturally they would not be deceived by Manager Zheng's words.

These boxes contain some of the best porcelain that cannot be sold, and the auction company wants to sell them at a cheap price in this way, and make a fortune first.

However, the prices quoted by the auction house are very attractive, with the starting price of each piece of porcelain being $1,000, and no buyer who can come to the sea auction will take $1,000 seriously.

"Qin Fan, what do you think of this batch of porcelain? Is it worth starting? ”

After opening the box, Qiao Zhenzhen carefully observed the porcelain inside, which had been severely eroded by the sea, but most of the porcelain surfaces were clinging to the remains of sea creatures such as mud blocks and coral shells, and it was impossible to see the enamel and luster on the porcelain.

At this time, several international buyers have come up to carefully appraise the value of this batch of Hailao porcelain, but no one participated in the auction, these porcelains have been seriously eroded by the sea, and the collection value and investment value are not large.

Qin Fan frowned, and explained to Qiao Zhenzhen, "Hailao porcelain generally refers to ceramics that have been sunk to the bottom of the sea for thousands of years, because when a shipwreck occurs, some of the goods will tilt out of the cabin and scatter on the sand and mud, and some of the porcelain will be buried deep in the sand and mud on the seabed, so that the porcelain salvaged from the bottom of the sea will have two situations. ”

"The porcelain scattered on the sediment is washed around by the undercurrent in the sea, and the glaze layer on the surface of the porcelain will be worn and damaged due to the long-term erosion and friction of the undercurrent and the sediment."

"The porcelain buried under the sediment is relatively intact, but because it has been soaked in the seabed for thousands of years, it will also cause corrosion to the glaze and the tire, and the glaze will be dull and the tire glaze will form one."

This batch of porcelain is relatively seriously eroded by the sea, and the glaze of some of these porcelains has been completely destroyed, and the decoration on it is not clear at all.

"According to you, these porcelains are of little value?"

Qiao Zhenzhen showed a look of disappointment on her face, I am afraid that she will return empty-handed in this auction.

"It's not really, I just took a rough look, and there are still a few well-preserved pieces of porcelain in this batch of porcelain, which can be purchased."

"Really?" Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and now she was absolutely convinced of Qin Fan's vision, and she no longer had a trace of doubt.

Qin Fan smiled without saying a word, squeezed in front of the booth displaying this batch of porcelain, looked at the pieces of Hailao porcelain on display on the booth with his eyes intently, and carefully identified them.

It's just that the more Qin Fan looks, the more disappointed he becomes. Not only was this batch of porcelain damaged by seawater, but some of it was beyond repair. And the quality is also uneven, some porcelain is simply scrap and has no value.

However, due to the cheap price of this batch of porcelain, some buyers still bid to auction a few pieces of porcelain that appear to be in relatively good condition.

At this moment, Qin Fan's gaze inadvertently fell on a pair of general cans full of dirt, and suddenly his feet seemed to be rooted, and he couldn't walk anymore.

"Qin Fan, why don't you leave?" Qiao Zhenzhen saw Qin Fan suddenly stop in front of the pair of generals' cans, and asked strangely.

She didn't know that at this time, under Qin Fan's treasure pupil gaze, a rich colored treasure light bloomed on the pair of dirty general's jars, which was extremely strange.

"Hehe, we've met a baby." Qin Fan calmed down his surging mood, smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and said to Qiao Zhenzhen.

"Baby?"

Qiao Zhenzhen's head trembled, looked at the pair of porcelain jars in front of him, and said with a surprised face, "Are you talking about this pair of dirty jars?" ”

"Right. If I look at it right, this should be a general's jar of Guangcai in the late Ming Dynasty, and this pair of general's jars is very large and well-preserved, which is a priceless boutique. ”

Qin Fan's expression was flat, and the excitement and nervousness in his heart were not shown on his face at all. The international buyers present are all elites, and they have a very good ability to observe words and feelings, Qin Fan doesn't want to be cut off halfway.

"But this pair of jars is full of dirt, can it be cleaned?" Although Qiao Zhenzhen has no habit of cleanliness, it is also very uncomfortable to look at the dirt on the general's can. But she didn't think about it, if it weren't for the dirt on the outside that covered the glaze and ornamentation on the general's jar, how could it be her turn to pick up the leak.

"Because the glaze of the porcelain is destroyed, the liquid of the sea creatures adheres to it, and even if the surface of the porcelain is cleaned after the water is released, the gelatinous matter in the bubbles in the glaze is still there, and it cannot be completely cleaned." Qin Fan explained to Qiao Zhenzhen with a smile, "But I know that there is a way to make Hailao porcelain as clean as new." ”

"Start by soaking in water with 1% oxalic acid for one day, then soak in laundry detergent water for another day, then rinse with fresh water. Rubbing the surface of porcelain with your hands often to wipe off the old mud on the glaze will restore the luster of the porcelain glaze. ”

Just as Qin Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen were whispering, Manager Zheng came over with a smile on his face.

"Qin Shao really has a unique vision, these two blue and white jars are regular in shape, with delicate glaze, and they are the best products in blue and white porcelain at a glance, and they are definitely worth starting."

Ever since Manager Zheng learned that Qin Fan had a great relationship with that big man from the top family of the Republic, he had been a little uneasy in his heart. took advantage of this opportunity to come over with a shy face and wanted to make up for the relationship with Qin Fan, at least let him not hold a grudge against himself.

Because the large dirt on the pair of general's jars covered the ornamentation on them, Manager Zheng and other buyers mistakenly thought that this was an ordinary blue and white porcelain, so Qin Fanbai picked up a big bargain.

"Hehe, this kind of vessel-shaped blue and white porcelain is not very common, we want these two jars." Qin Fan followed Manager Zheng's words and said, but his heart was happy.

The auction process did not have too many twists and turns, and since no one was optimistic about the two pieces of porcelain, Qin Fan finally auctioned the pair of general jars at a price of 3,000 US dollars.

It's just that if Manager Zheng and other buyers learned that this pair of general jars was priceless Guangcai porcelain, they didn't know what kind of expression it would be.

"Qin Fan, I don't think this pair of general's jars should be ordinary blue and white porcelain."

Wang Cheng's eyes were like torches, and he found some clues from the subtle expressions on Qin Fan's face. With his understanding of Qin Fan, this young man's vision is even older than that of an expert who has been immersed in collecting for decades, and he will never let go of a treasure, this pair of general jars should not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Brother Wangcheng, I just bought it because I saw that this pair of jars was in good shape and was relatively well preserved. But when I took a closer look just now, this pair of jars doesn't look like blue and white porcelain. Qin Fan snorted, if he told Wang Cheng the truth, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of people with a heart. He didn't want to reveal his secrets and let people grab slices and study them.

"Not blue and white porcelain?" Wang Cheng was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand what Qin Fan meant by this.

Qin Fan didn't explain much, and carefully picked off some of the sedimentary dirt attached to the surface of the porcelain.

After the sedimentary dirt attached to the surface of the porcelain was cut off, the pair of generals' jars finally revealed their true colors.

What shocked Wang Cheng was that this pair of general's jars was not a blue and white porcelain, as Qin Fan said, but a multicolored porcelain from the late Ming Dynasty.

In terms of color, the five-color porcelain of the late Ming Dynasty was dominated by red and green, and this strong collision of red and green colors was a popular style in that era, known as "Ming Red Painting".

Due to the fact that it has been immersed in the seabed for hundreds of years, the color and luster of the glazed porcelain appear a little dull, but the bright and warm style of the multicolored porcelain can still be seen.

Moreover, the porcelain of this pair of general jars is delicate and white, and the decoration is exquisite, and the experts who have studied the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty can judge at a glance that this is a rare Ming Dynasty colorful fine porcelain.

What is even more rare is that this pair of general jars is very large but well preserved, and no damage has been found, which has great collection and investment value.

At this time, the buyers in the auction hall also noticed the situation on Qin Fan's side, and couldn't help but exclaim, envying the good luck of this young man.

"Mud howling, wo is from the hair pot of Henry, wo ruthless porridge Chinese culture."

A Frenchman with long brown hair and an artistic temperament came over to talk to Qin Fantao in broken Mandarin. It's just that this Henry's Mandarin is really not good, and Qin Fan's head is as big as a fight, and he can't understand what he means.

"What's that, buddy can't understand bird language, it's really you to translate."

Qiao Zhen really came from a business background, was proficient in six Chinese, spoke fluent French, and finally understood what he meant after a few words of conversation with this Henry.

"This Henry is a nobleman from France, and he said that he likes to collect antiques from the East, especially porcelain, and hopes that we can sell him this pair of general's jars."

In fact, Henry had seen this pair of general's jars before, but he was a little unsure of the fineness of this porcelain, so he didn't take a picture immediately. When he looked back and wanted to take a closer look, the pair of jars had already been photographed by Qin Fan.

"Damn, how many treasures were robbed of us when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China. Tell him that we don't sell these cans. ”

What Qiao Zhenzhen didn't expect was that Qin Fan clearly refused. Although Qin Fan is not angry, he doesn't really want to see these precious porcelains from China fall into the hands of foreigners.

Seeing that Qin Fan refused to sell this pair of jars, that Henry muttered a lot to Qiao Zhenzhen.

"What did he say?"

Qiao Zhenzhen's blue eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he said to Qin Fan, "He said that he could contribute 1.5 million US dollars." ”

"How much do you say?"

Hearing this Frenchman's offer, Qin Fan almost squirted out of his nose when he had just drunk a sip of water.
