Chapter 563: Silver-like pewter spearhead
Seeing He Chong's spray, the pony was stunned, what is the situation? It's just a price, is it worth it?
He scratched his scalp, but still didn't understand what was going on, so he gritted his teeth, no matter what you mean, I still have to say what I should say!
Seeing Li Yi open his mouth to speak, he hurriedly waved his hand,
"I said, brother, don't negotiate with me about this price. Just like Lao Wang just now, you also saw the bamboo carving, although the paragraph is added later, but it is an old object, right? I want 80,000 yuan, he doesn't just give 50,000 yuan, I know that he will come to bother me in a few days, so he will save the 30,000 yuan! But I didn't let him get his wish this time, I'll find someone when I turn around, if I can't sell 80,000, I'll sell 70,000, and if I can't sell 60,000, I'll sell it! ”
Seeing that the pony was angry, Li Yi hurriedly shook his head,
"Xiaoma, I didn't mean that, I don't have an opinion on your piece, 60,000, Brother He, you don't have an opinion on this price, right?"
He Chong was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Li Yi was going to join forces with him and repay him the favor just now, and he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, no problem!
Li Yi nodded and said to the pony:
"I thought your Magu Shangshou had already been sold, since it wasn't sold, let's take it one piece, I'll give you 140,000 for two, what do you think?"
"Hey, brother, you're really a good person, you wait, I'll boil water for you, you wait."
When Li Yi heard this, the sweat on his head almost came down, and some people actually said that he was a good person? It's a good trick!
Seeing that the pony really went straight to the kitchen, and he didn't care about anything, He Chong came over,
"Brother, I read it right just now, this is Qi Lao's "Radish Grasshopper Map"?"
Li Yi nodded.
"I'll go! If you want to say the least, it will cost 3 million, right? It's a hair! ”
Li Yi quietly turned the fan over and slowly slapped it twice.
"Poof", He Chong sprayed again, because he saw the dozens of small characters on the back of the fan, and the seal of the Chinese diplomat Zhang Wenjin, the famous scholar, educator and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty!
This is actually a folding fan made by two famous artists!
"400, or 500?"
He Chong's voice trembled a little.
Li Yi thought for a moment and said:
"It's more than 400, it shouldn't be 500."
He Chong stood up, walked around the room briskly twice, suddenly clenched his fists, and was about to say something when he saw the pony walking out of the kitchen with a bag of tea, and couldn't help but ask:
"Pony, who did you learn from to play antiques?"
"Hehe, I didn't learn from anyone, I squatted at home in college, and I was self-taught!"
"Oh, where did you get all these things?"
"Usually it's going around the ghost market and running to the countryside, but this batch is different, it was introduced by a classmate of mine, and I specially went to the south to collect it, how about it, it's not bad, right?"
He Chong nodded with a smile, not only good, it's just good, but at your level of identification, you can live until now and haven't been starved to death, and God has no eyes!
"In the beginning, I worked as an apprentice in the market, but they didn't teach anything, and then they did it themselves, and every time I got something good to sell, the price was too high! I can see that this group of people are all vampires who eat people and don't spit out bones! ”
"Poof!"
This time it's Li Yi's turn, it seems that those bosses seem to be several grades behind him!
"Then I had a big eye and focused on the customers who came out of the store...... Oh yes, brother, you haven't seen it yet, there's a really good thing here! ”
As he spoke, the pony walked up to Li Yi, glanced down, and took out an arm from the cardboard box.
"Brother, look at this!"
In order to prevent the arm from getting ink, the literati invented a tool for pillow arm, which is what we now call the arm, and the arm is used to put the arm when writing, so it can also be called the arm rest or wrist pillow.
The armrest is a kind of utensil necessary for the ancient literati, generally made of jade, sandalwood, bamboo, ivory and porcelain.
The most common things made by bamboo carvers, in addition to folding fans, pen holders, and incense sticks, should be arm rests.
The pony took out this armrest, about 22 centimeters long and 7 centimeters wide, as if it was a dark brown glazed tile turned over, carved with a bas-relief technique on the cliff pine, and then there was an old man with a wide robe and big sleeves, raising his head and outstretching his arms, holding the pen tube, as if he was inscribed on the stone wall, and on the stone platform behind it, there was a scroll of inkstone.
The style of this armrest bamboo carving is very unique, the mountains and stones are all squares, the faces of the characters are hazy, the ornamentation is minimalist, and the lines are very light, which looks unique.
On the back of the arm, there is a four-character book of "Wu Zhifan".
"Brother, this is Wu Zhifan's, right?"
Li Yi nodded, this is indeed a real Wu Zhifan's work, and it is also a rare boutique, because the use of this kind of knife technique is very rare in Wu Zhifan's works!
"Brother, you're an expert, how much do you think it's worth?"
Li Yi gave him a strange look, shouldn't you make a price for you to sell things?
"This ...... I don't know, I really don't know how much to sell! ”
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Li Yi shook his head slightly, forget it, it has already taken up a lot of cheapness, so let's help him.
"Although there are many works by Wu Zhifan, most of them are pen holders, and the arm rest is rare, and the knife technique he uses is not common, so I estimate that if it is auctioned, the transaction range should be between 20 and 300,000 yuan."
"I***!"
When the pony heard this, he immediately looked angry,
"Brother, do you know? I took this arm and asked no less than five stores, five, Nima! The price for Lao Tzu did not exceed 30,000! One tenth, these vampires! ”
"Hehe, normal. That's it, pony, I'll give you 260,000 for this armrest, and I won't say much about the rest, and you should understand what's going on at auction......"
"Brother, brother, you are such a good person, I can know you, me, I ......"
Li Yi waved his hand, and picked out two ordinary Minsan Yuan Datou and a signed version from the cloth bag next to him, and without bargaining, he took out his mobile phone and directly crossed 600,000 yuan to Xiaoma.
"Alright, if you're right, we'll take our leave, thanks pony."
"Hey, I should thank you, brother, this is my business card, if you come to Chang'an again in the future, remember to give me a call, there are good things for you to pick first!"
Li Yi took the business card and looked at it, couldn't help but "poof", and sprayed again, this Nima is a big man, what's your name is not good, your name is Hongxing? Ma Hongxing, are you sure this is your name?
"Hehe, heh, this is not to make the guests remember me at a glance...... Besides, if you don't know, maybe you still think I'm a beauty, if this curiosity rises, won't business come? ”
"High! Your trick is really high! ”
Li Yi couldn't help but stretch out a thumbs up, if this guy can put all his thoughts on studying, just this batch of goods, he can make a lot of money, but now, these are all cheaper He and He Chong!
Taking things out of the house, He Chong could no longer control the excitement in his heart, he first raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and then took out the silver dollar of the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China.
"Brother, what do you think should be done with this thing? I've been running out of money lately, so why don't we go to the auction? ”
Li Yi shook his head,
"This piece, as well as the folding fan, is estimated to be worth a total of 10.5 million, do you have no opinion on this?"
"This ...... Can't sell that much, right? I think it's more reliable between 900 and 9.5 million. ”
"Well, if you put it up for auction, you may not get this amount after deducting the commission, but it's hard to say if you put it for a few years. In this way, let's calculate it according to 10 million, you give me the account, and I will transfer 5 million directly to you, these two pieces belong to me! ”
"Oh, this can't work, how can you let your brother suffer, 900, just count it as 900......"
The two argued for a while, and finally took a middle number, 9.5 million, and Li Yi directly gave He Chong 4.75 million!
After getting the money, He Chong's excited hand didn't know where to put it, while Li Yi was slightly confused.
Before, Tan Moxuan accompanied him to the market several times, but he bought all the good things alone, for so long, the only ones who could really leak from his hands were his parents and Lu Ningshuang, but today...... Is He Chong's luck good at this kid or is it because he has fast hands? Or is it that the previous one was not a law at all?
After thinking for a while, Li Yi shook his head slightly, whatever, at least from the current point of view, this guy is not bad, he is a person who can be a friend!
"Brother, it's almost time, we should go over and meet, right?"
Li Yi glanced at the time, then at He Chong, who looked at him with a dazed face, and shook his head with a smile, Let's go, you can have such a big harvest in such a while, and if you think about it too much, you will be a little insatiable.
The name of the shop that several people agreed with in advance is Meicixuan, and when I heard it, it was dealing in ancient porcelain, and the house number was 222. At that time, this house was chosen as the meeting place, because this house number is so easy to remember.
It took about 15 minutes, Li Yi and they finally found this beautiful porcelain Xuan, as soon as they entered the store, both of them were a little surprised, this shop really lives up to the name of beautiful porcelain, it is indeed very beautiful!
The furnishings in this store are different from those shops that Li Yi has seen before, there is no counter in the store of about 100 square meters. On the wall, a large abstract and beautiful picture is outlined with murals, sticker paintings and several colored mirror cores, and in the middle of the picture are glass boxes of various shapes, either protruding, concave, upright, or sideways, and a piece of porcelain is placed inside.
The rest of the space in the store is in a slightly strange layout, with half-human tall pillars, and on the pillars, there are also glass boxes, and the inside are also ancient porcelain.
In the corner of the store, a negotiation area was circled with a sofa, and at this time, Wang Meng and Mu Yuyu were sitting on the sofa, staring at a porcelain vase placed on the coffee table.
"Sorry, it's late."
"No, no, it's early for us, how's it going, what's the harvest?"
Mu Yuyu noticed the backpack Li Yi was holding in her arms at a glance, she remembered very clearly, the bag was deflated before, but now it is bulging, they should have bought a lot of things!
But then she was confused again, these two, don't they only know calligraphy and painting? But if it's just calligraphy and painting, shouldn't you be able to hold the bag so much, what is this buying?
"Heh, this is a bamboo root carving bought by Brother Li, the work of Wu Zhifan, imitated by Yang Yunkang, a famous bamboo carver in Wumen."
Bamboo root carving? Yang Yunkang? What is this, you two guys who don't know anything except calligraphy and painting, won't you be cheated by someone?
"How much does this cost?"
"80,000."
"This price is a bit high, isn't it?"
Wang Meng frowned, turned around and took out a small carton from his bag, opened it, and what it contained was a pale cyan bird food can.
"My Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln blue-glazed bird food jar only cost less than 20,000!"
Li Yi glanced at the bird food jar that Wang Meng took out and put on the coffee table, this bird food jar is flat and round as a whole, with a melon belly on the outside of the tank, about 3 cm high, about 4 cm in diameter, and a small circle on the shoulder. The porcelain is glazed all over, the glaze is tender green, smooth as jade, and it looks like the green glazed porcelain of Longquan kiln.
Touching it lightly with his hand, Li Yi confirmed that what Wang Meng said was indeed right. But even if it is genuine, this bird food jar can be sold for 5 or 60,000 yuan, whether it is the premium ratio or the absolute value, it is far less than his Magu Shangshou ornament, and I don't know what this guy is proud of.
"Hey, Brother Li, I remember that you also bought a bird food jar, quick, take it out and let Brother Wang help you take a look, he is an expert in ancient porcelain!"
If He Chong still suspected that Li Yi bought the blue and white entwined branches and leaf pattern gourd-shaped bird food jar in the Xuande period, then a series of things that happened after him made him firmly believe that Li Yi would never look away, he said that it was in the Xuande period, it should be in the Xuande period!
Therefore, as soon as he saw Wang Mengse, he remembered this thing, although he didn't know much about porcelain, but he knew that the porcelain in the Xuande period was precious. In his opinion, although Xuande is not as long as the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty, except for the five famous porcelains, the others should not be as good as the porcelain of the Xuande Dynasty, not to mention, this one is not as beautiful as Li Yi's at first glance.
Although He Chong's analysis was full of errors and omissions, it was clear that he had hit the right one this time.
Wang Meng was a little disdainful when he first saw Li Yi's bird food jar, but he really looked into it, but the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. This Nima seems to be really an object from the Xuande period, and it really seems to be something that was burned out of imported Su Ma Liqing!
"This is a really good thing, the blue and white are thick and green with iron spots, the background color is white and blue, and the twigs are colorful, so there are traces of different shades of brushstrokes...... These are the standard characteristics of blue and white ware in the Xuande period, little brother, I will pay 800,000 yuan for this piece, can I transfer it to me? ”
The shopkeeper, who was sitting leisurely smoking a cigarette, saw the blue and white bird food jar that Li Yi took out, and immediately became calm, and after carefully looking at it to confirm that it was indeed an object from the Xuande period, he directly offered to buy it.
Li Yi shook his head and joked, this one is worth at least 1.5 million, you want to buy it at half price, you want to be beautiful!
"1 million!"
Seeing that Li Yi was still shaking his head, the boss gritted his teeth,
"1.2 million! Brother, this price is okay, if it is really auctioned, you may not be able to get this amount after deducting the commission. ”
Li Yi still shook his head very calmly, but the other people really couldn't calm down.
He Chong knew that this bird food jar might be more valuable, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't have imagined that such a small thing would be worth millions, and judging by the boss's quotation and Li Yi's reaction, the 1.2 million should be far from reaching its true value.
Although Wang Meng and Mu Yuyu were different from He Chong, they guessed that it should be millions after confirming that this was Xuande Qinghua, but again, the boss's offer scared them. Although his offer stayed at 1.2 million in the end, they would never believe his words, this one, the real value is definitely more than 1.5 million!
"Li Yi, how much did you buy this?"
Wang Meng still has a trace of unwillingness in his heart, what if, this is what if he bought it at a high price?
"50,000, I remember it very clearly, I didn't let him buy it at that time! Haha, Brother Li, you have a treat at night! ”
He Chong opened his mouth and said the price at which Li Yi bought the goods, as if he had picked up the leak.
"50,000? Oh, little brother, come on, come and see, how much should I be worth? ”
Li Yi had long noticed the porcelain vase placed on the coffee table, which was a yellow ground open flower elephant ear vase, about 31 centimeters high, and the mouth of the bottle was like a straight-walled wine glass, covered with intricate floral ornamentation.
The neck in the shape of a waist drum about the length of the bottle is lit on two square white grounds, one in front and one in the back, and two brown-yellow elephant heads on the left and right sides, and the long nose falls on the belly of the bottle, as if it were two ears.
On the bottle body, it is two large and two small corresponding to the four white ground open light, the whole color is gorgeous, the glaze is shiny, the floral decoration is complex and noble, it is very in line with the Qianlong Dynasty prosperous porcelain gold and silver brilliance, graceful and gorgeous characteristics.
Li Yi looked at it for a while, carefully picked up the bottle, and looked at the bottom of the device. Sure enough, there are three lines of six-character blue and white seal books of "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty" at the bottom of the vessel, which is a real fine porcelain!
"This bottle is not bad, boss, how do you sell it?"
"Oh?"
The boss hesitated for a moment, then smiled:
"If you just want to know the price, I will tell you that it is more than 20 million, and if you want to buy, I will say more than 30 million."
"What do you mean?"
"Tell me what you mean first."
Li Yi smiled, what could he mean? The fine porcelain of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is a good object for investment, especially if it is relatively rare like this shape, and the quality is very well preserved, even if it is expensive to buy, put it for more than ten years, its income is still far more than putting money in the bank to eat interest!
"Do you really want to buy it?"
The boss's upper body bounced off the back of the sofa, leaned forward, and stared at Li Yi's eyes. If Li Yi dared to joke with him on this matter, let alone say that it was introduced by Xi Wuyu, even if it was brought over by his parents!
The corners of Li Yi's mouth provoked a smile,
"That depends on what price you end up getting."
"You come with me!"
The boss got up and carefully picked up the elephant ear bottle, today is in a good mood, take a bottle out and fill it with 13, but unexpectedly, it also bumped into a possible customer! Although Li Yi's kid is really young, it is a bit excessive, but sometimes, this kind of second ancestor's money is more profitable.
Follow the boss into the office--storage room in the corner of the store, and the boss uncovers the mystery.
"Under normal circumstances, a bottle like this can be sold for more than 20 million yuan, so if you just want to inquire about the price, I won't be a fool of you. As for the more than 30 million in the back, it's because I have two bottles like this, and they are exactly the same! ”
The boss turned around and took out another elephant ear bottle from the safe on the side,
"You should know that if you can make up a pair, it will be at a premium, so this pair will cost 65 million!"
As soon as he saw the elephant ear bottle that the boss took out, Li Yi's eyes narrowed, indeed, these two bottles are almost exactly the same in terms of style, ornamentation, and even color!
This situation often represents only one phenomenon, that is, these two bottles are likely to be fired in a kiln!
Gently touching the elephant ear bottle with his hand, Li Yi groaned:
"Even if it is a pair, the price of 65 million is a little higher. If this pair of bottles is put up for auction, I estimate that the reserve price should be around 45 million, and even if it is a transaction, what you can get after deducting the commission will definitely not exceed 50 million...... In this way, I will give 46 million! ”
The boss smiled and shook his head,
"Brother, don't joke with me if you really want to, I believe that the quality of this pair of bottles, the world can't find a second pair, just rush this, 65 million is definitely not much."
"65 million is not much? Hehe, maybe you should go to the auction house and ask about it. ”
"I've been to the auction house a long time ago......"
Li Yi and the two of them were boiling each other in the office, and on the sofa outside, Wang Meng frowned and said tentatively:
"He Chong, Li Yi...... Is he really that rich? ”
He Chong remembered that Li Yi transferred more than 4 million to him without blinking an eye, thinking that he was only afraid that he would be richer than you imagined, but there was no need to tell him this.
"Who knows, anyway, if I have the money, I won't buy such an expensive thing."
"Hey, by the way, although Li Yi worshipped two masters, but Mr. Zhong and Mr. Hu are both engaged in calligraphy and painting, how can he know porcelain? You say, "That one is not fake, right?" ”
Mu Yuyu seemed to suddenly remember something, but she couldn't even answer He Chong's question. Just hearing that she suspected that the porcelain might be a fake, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, and was about to send a message to Li Yi to remind her, when the door of the office suddenly opened, and Li Yi appeared at the door empty-handed.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, He Chong was relieved, Mu Yuyu seemed to be a little disappointed, and Wang Meng was secretly happy in his heart, just now Mu Yuyu's eyes looking at Li Yi's back made him very uncomfortable, now it's okay, it turns out that this kid is also a silver-like pewter gun head!
