Hu Jinquan likes Hetian jade, and the Zhong family not only has pawn shops, auction houses, but also a nationally renowned jewelry company, so he has seen countless jade materials in the past few decades. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

His best piece of sprinkling gold skin was found by Zhong after marrying Zhong Haoqing, and in the following ten years, he had seen several pieces of comparable ones one after another, so he didn't take this too seriously.

Unexpectedly, I don't know when this quality material seemed to be extinct, and disappeared without a trace overnight, so that he didn't find another piece after so much effort this time.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Yi'er went into the mountains to pick jade once, and he actually picked such a treasure. This autumn pear skin, in terms of jade quality and color, is even slightly better than his sprinkling gold skin!

"The jade is like clotted fat, the color is like a steamed pear, the best, the best!"

I couldn't put it down for a while, and the old man raised his eyebrows,

"This piece, there are more than 100 grams, right?"

Li Yi nodded,

"122 grams."

"Okay, I don't care how you found it, it doesn't matter if you still have it, since you brought it, I won't return it to you, you wait."

With that, he got up and walked into the study, and after a while, he walked out with a check.

"Forget about the wine, I will honor you as me, but you have to accept this."

Li Yi stretched out his hand to take the check, looked down, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Master, I know this thing is valuable, and you definitely won't want it when I give it to you. However, no matter how expensive it is, it is only 122 grams, and your price is too high, and the average price per gram is close to 40,000! ”

"Oh? So you say, how much is not too high? ”

Hu Jinquan waved his hand,

"Don't treat me as a master, just treat me as an ordinary businessman, how much are you going to sell?"

"For a top-level collectible material of this size, the market guide price should be 27,000 to 30,000 grams, this piece is barely a small superlative, and it should be sold for 3.6 million!"

Little superb? 3.6 million? Hu Jinquan shook his head with a smile,

"I know where you got that price from, but you're mistaken. Not to mention your piece of material, even if it is my piece of sprinkling gold skin, it is not the so-called "Xinjiang Hetian Jade Seed Material Standard Unit Value Market Reference Range" can be referenced. The so-called top-level collection materials on it are more than a step worse than our two pieces, and now I can't tell you clearly, when you have time to go to Zhong's to have a look, you will know. ”

"Oh?"

Li Yi's brows furrowed, the reason why he said that this piece was a small masterpiece was because among the mutton fat jade he picked this time, there were still a few pieces of mutton fat jade that were slightly better than this one, both in terms of jade quality and color skin.

Of course, most of the rest are not as good as this one, but it is precisely because of this that he took it for granted that these seeds were roughly divided according to the classification on the "Market Reference Range". But according to what Hu Jinquan said, wouldn't the value of the seeds he brought back this time go up to a big level?

"Okay, don't talk about this, I and your wife have read the homework you handed in two days ago, and the progress is not small, it seems that calligraphy is your real strength! But ......"

Hu Jinquan gently knocked twice on the coffee table with his fingers,

"Come here, write these words again for me."

Li Yi followed him into the study, glanced at the words specially circled on the homework, thought for a while, and rewrote these words one by one.

"Well, it seems that you should have found some tricks, these words are quite ancient, I guess even if it is written by Liu Gongquan himself, it is nothing more than that!"

Seeing Hu Jinquan's solemn expression, Li Yi couldn't help grinning. Since he entered that mysterious space in the Forest of Steles, every time he practiced calligraphy, he would involuntarily think of the middle-aged man who was suspected of Liu Gongquan writing hard. And these words are exactly what he feels the most, but he didn't expect to be seen by the master at once.

"Once you've practiced all your words at this level, you can start working on your new font...... There is still a little more than a week to go, and I will work hard in the past few days to thoroughly eat this, and the calligraphy competition is not hopeless! ”

Hu Jinquan patted Li Yi's shoulder vigorously, walked to the balcony, and squatted down next to the basin of demon eyes.

"This flower is really amazing, with it, what haze and what pollution doesn't matter at all! However, no matter how much I searched, I could not find a similar record...... Well, you shouldn't be running around next, are you? Then move it back and raise it well, but you must not raise it to death! ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then scratched his scalp, and said with a smile:

"Master, since this is useful for haze, you can keep it! I don't really have much confidence that I can raise it well. And...... I'm supposed to go out for a while after the calligraphy competition......"

"Oh? Get out? Where to? ”

"I should go to Nanyun and Guangdong Province first, collect some wool, and then go to Shi Chongxuan's art exhibition in November, and maybe go to Taiwan, and then France...... This lap is basically the end of the year. ”

Hearing Li Yi say this, Hu Jinquan's brows couldn't help frowning,

"Alas...... Okay, you sit down for a while, and when your wife comes back, there are some things we want to talk to you about. ”

Glancing at Hu Jinquan's expression, Li Yi was a little apprehensive, isn't this all over? What else can make the old man so solemn, and besides, I have to wait for Zhong Haoqing to come back and talk about it, so let's talk about it......

"Master, can you tell me about it first, what do you want to say?"

Hu Jinquan snorted, rubbed the stubble on his chin and groaned for a long time before he raised his head and asked:

"Do your parents have any special expectations for your future?"

Li Yi was stunned, his future, expectations?

He shook his head, his father and mother probably thought that he was still working as an appraiser in Tongruibao, they thought it was good.

"What about yourself?"

Li Yi scratched his scalp hard and smiled embarrassedly.

Of course, he himself has thought about what kind of great connoisseur, great calligrapher, great painter, great collector, big capitalist...... Anyway, you have to have money, you have to have leisure, you have to have status, and you have to be able to pretend to be 13, of course, it's better to ......

Of course, these real thoughts can't be said honestly, otherwise most of them will be criticized.

"Master, I'm wondering, this ......"

was struggling, and suddenly there was a sound of opening the door at the door, and Zhong Haoqing came back.

"Hehe, you came back just in time, we just started talking, Xiaoyi hasn't said what he wants to develop in the future!"

Hu Jinquan walked out of the bedroom with a smile, picked up a cup and took a cup of hot water, then found a place on the sofa and sat down comfortably.

Zhong Haoqing smiled, took off his coat, and sat on the sofa.

"Sit down, since we've talked about it, let's talk casually."

Casual chat? Li Yi frowned, looking at the posture of the two of them, I'm afraid it's not going to be tried, and let's talk casually?

However, although he has thought about this problem, it is really not easy to organize language if he wants to express the real thoughts in his heart without letting the two old men feel that he is arrogant and inadequate.

"Two masters, this is what I mainly think...... First of all, the identification of this piece will definitely not be lost, and then there is calligraphy, painting and carving, and I will definitely continue to study hard, as for the rest, I haven't considered it so much for the time being. ”

Zhong Haoqing nodded,

"Okay, then can you tell me what to do next? Also, the study of calligraphy and painting, after this competition, you will definitely have some ideas, so how are you going to study hard? ”

"Oh, the appraisal ......"

Li Yi was about to answer, but suddenly a little dumbfounded, yes, except for the month when he first arrived at Tongruibao to work, he also identified something, the rest of the time, he was running around picking up leaks, and then the calligraphy and painting are now writing two pieces and drawing two strokes, which is ......

Seeing Li Yi's difficult birth, Zhong Haoqing shook his head,

"Okay, I'm talking to you this time, because we've been observing you for a long time and found that you don't have a clear plan in this regard, so we want to help you sort it out."

"Originally, these things should have been done by your parents, but now you are running outside all day long, and you don't spend as much time seeing them as you do with us, so I'll talk to you first."

"Before we talk, I want to ask you a few questions, the first one is, how do you understand the identification of this matter?"

Li Yi blinked, hehe smirked twice, isn't this thing just to look at things, break the generations, find the inheritance, and re-evaluate the valuation by the way, of course, it is best to pick up a leak from time to time......

"This ......"

Zhong Haoqing and Hu Jinquan glanced at each other, and each saw the helplessness on each other's faces.

"So, what about calligraphy and painting?"

"Let's practice first, when the level is reached, we will open art exhibitions, participate in competitions, and sell works...... Well, that's how it should be. ”

"Alright, I got it."

Zhong Haoqing rubbed her forehead with a smile, thought for a while, and said:

"Then let's sort out the matter at hand now. The first is identification, every time you go to a place, you will also go to the antique market, but you are mainly aiming to pick up the leaks, this is not wrong, right? ”

Li Yi nodded, a little embarrassed.

"Okay, then let's talk about the concept of appraiser first! An appraiser refers to a professional who has mastered certain skills through special professional training or inheritance, and then uses this skill to identify the authenticity of cultural relics, judge the age of cultural relics, and deduce and verify the historical, cultural, scientific and technological, ethnic and other aspects of the historical period produced by the cultural relics according to the characteristics of the cultural relics, and finally issue an appraisal certificate. ”

"As soon as this concept is said, it becomes very clear, what you did before is not called appraisal, it is called business, drilling leaks, and using your professional knowledge to make money! Of course, the appraiser will do these things, but not as the main ones like you. Their main work is still on research, studying the inheritance of history, and those cultural relics are the carriers of inheritance. ”

"In the eyes of an ordinary person, the reason why cultural relics are valuable is first because of their scarcity, and then the reasons may be varied, such as age, exquisite workmanship, celebrity effect, etc. But in reality, cultural relics are valuable because they are carriers of inheritance. ”

"For example, porcelain, you can see the technical level, living standard, cultural tendencies, and even political and economic dynamics of the time from a piece of porcelain, such as calligraphy and painting......"

"And if you want to master these, you must have a deep historical foundation, you must understand the various dynasties and generations of China, and you must understand the life, culture, society and many other aspects of information at that time, and what you lack is these things."

"So, if you go to pick up the leaks, it doesn't mean that you don't want to do a good job in identification, but that you don't have the ability to do a good job!"

After a long speech, Li Yi was completely stupid, this thing seems to make a lot of sense, but the more reasonable she says, the more he is wrong?

"Okay, after the appraisal is over, let's talk about calligraphy and painting. What do you think ordinary calligraphers and painters usually do? ”

"Hmm...... Drawing, writing, and teaching in my own studio, and then ......"

"Okay, create the work, teach...... It is true that most calligraphers and painters are doing this, but what are they doing in addition to this? ”

Zhong Haoqing took a sip of tea,

"They're researching, they're learning! Study the techniques of those famous masters in Chinese history, study the techniques of those famous foreign masters, and then absorb and apply them. Whether it's creating a work or teaching, it's just a demonstration of this research and a means of making a living! ”

"Well, I ask you, do you have time to do this now? Even if you have been in contact for a short time, your level is not low, it's time to make up for this gap! ”

Li Yi nodded, in this regard, he is indeed far behind. Although he has mastered some techniques and can use some skillfully in the past half a year of study, he often knows what he does not know why, whether it is the depth of understanding or systematic, there are not many problems, but this should be what you have not taught, right? This piece, at the beginning, he was a blank slate!

Immediately, he slapped his head hard, teach, and find his talent! The year he got the spirit card, he was like a wild horse, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, the baby received a lot, and the money made a lot, but what to say systematic and planned, there is really no!

"Sculpture and calligraphy and painting are a truth, needless to say, next, let's talk about the companies in your hands."

"Needless to say, the shares over there are small shareholders, and it is estimated that it will not be your turn to speak if you want to, but there is a problem with the vineyard and the furniture factory, are you going to be a manor owner in the future?"

Li Yi shook his head, the piece of the vineyard was prepared for Lu Ningshuang.

"What about the furniture factory? I heard you say that the valuation is 30 billion! You just leave it to others to operate, and you are not afraid of losing money? ”

"Oh, this...... The finances are in my hands, and I will also control some of the general directions......"

"Hehe, although I am only the appraisal director of Tongruibao, I also have the right to participate in many business matters. Over the years, my experience is that if you want to do a good job, you really only need to be able to employ people. However, the premise is, you have to understand! You have to know how to operate, you have to know how to employ people, in some details of the operation, you can be inferior to your subordinates, but you must understand these processes very well in this industry, you can stand on the so-called high point, put forward strategic guiding opinions, you can not be blinded by your subordinates......"

Zhong Haoqing said a lot, and then spread his hands,

"Obviously, you don't have what it takes."

Li Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, this ...... In this way, he is simply useless!

"Okay, now that the questions are all over, let's see how you deal with them. You went to Hong Kong, Myanmar, Vietnam, Yangcheng, France, Taiwan, Chang'an, Xinjiang, and you also joined Tongruibao and participated in the calligraphy and painting competition, but do these things you do have anything to do with the problems you just talked about? The baby picked up a lot of money, and made a lot of money, but are you going to live like this in the future? We were dazzled when we looked at it! ”

"But...... This ......"

"Of course, gambling on stones and wood is to make money, which is also a kind of business, and it must be done if you have this ability. I believe that if other appraisers have your level and luck, I am afraid that they will run even more diligently than you! France, of course, also has to go, after all, it is a matter of happiness for a lifetime! ”

"I say all this, not to say that these things cannot be done, on the contrary, to encourage you to do them. However, just because things can be done doesn't mean they can be done, and your biggest problem right now is here! Clueless, no plan, do whatever you encounter, in the end it is a mess, but it affects your growth! ”

"So next, I'm going to give you a few suggestions that you can think about."

Li Yi nodded vigorously.

"Let's talk about calligraphy and painting first, and then we will give a detailed outline, and you should do some necessary research in addition to studying, which can be combined with appraisal."

"Then in terms of ancient porcelain, I suggest you do a systematic study, now you should have the most ancient porcelain in the Qing Dynasty, then you can start from the ancient porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, study the history of porcelain, study the culture, history, political economy and other aspects of the Qing Dynasty."

"And then there's the furniture factory, and I suggest you get an MBA out of production. Because if you want to take the road of collecting in the future, you will definitely need a lot of money, and there are too many uncertainties in gambling stones and picking up leaks, which are not enough to support. ”

"It's easy to set goals for that, but then you have to take your time. I suggest that you divide your time into chunks, focus on something for a certain period of time, and then set aside a certain amount of time to maneuver......"

"If you want to get status, you have to be recognized by others, so the next step is to pay attention to strengthening exchanges, such as participating in activities organized by some associations, exchanges between some colleagues and friends, taking out works and collections to participate in exhibitions and exhibitions, etc...... You can think about it first, and then we'll find another time to make a plan. (To be continued.) )
