Chi Daya has been painting fans for a living since he was 15 years old, so Li Yi is not surprised that his works appear here. He was slightly surprised by the fact that, from a stylistic point of view, this painting was not the works he made in his early days to make a living, and this fan should be his later work after the completion of his painting style.
The difference in value between the two cannot be calculated!
"Sir, how do you sell this fan?"
"This Japanese fan is a product of the Meiji Emperor's period, so it is more expensive, 380,000 yen."
380,000 yen? This price is indeed the price of the Japanese fan during the Meiji Emperor period, but the key thing is that the fan surface of this Japanese fan is not from the Meiji period, but more than a hundred years earlier than him, and it is also the famous painter Ike Daimasa!
Only 380,000? Multiply by 30 and that's pretty much it!
Misa Aida came forward to talk about the price, and finally won it for 360,000 yen.
"This fan is good, fortunately I found it early, otherwise if it is opened and closed so frequently, even the silk fan surface will not be able to stand it!"
Li Yi estimated that the boss didn't recognize the preciousness of this fan at all, so he didn't take any protective measures at all, and if he continued to toss like this, this Chi Daya's work would be damaged sooner or later.
With the first harvest, Li Yi looks more calm. It's just that when they walked out from under the archway in front of Tianmangong and walked to a slightly empty place in front of them, there was a sudden noise not far away.
"What's going on? It seems to be a Chinese? ”
Li Yi faintly heard a lot of Chinese mixed with the noisy voice, not only frowned, but walked quickly towards that side.
In the corner of this small square in front of the archway of Tianmangu, a booth was crowded with people, and the sound of quarrels came from the crowd.
Li Yi listened for a while and found that the dispute seemed to have occurred because an antique had been damaged, but the cause was not very clear.
He looked left and right, grabbed a Chinese young man next to him who looked quite indignant, and asked, "Does my brother know what's going on?" ”
"Damn, little Japan is too deceitful! The old man inside fell in love with a porcelain plate in his stall, so he bargained with him, but in the end he didn't buy it because it was too expensive. But unexpectedly, when I put the plate back, something went wrong, and the porcelain plate was broken in half! The Japanese didn't do it, they had to compensate him for the original price, but how could that guy agree, he didn't knock or touch, he picked it up and looked at it, it cracked, he must have done it a long time ago, and he was waiting for the unlucky people here! ”
"Oh? This should be easy to see, if it's an old crack, not to mention whether there is glue, the section can be seen to be true or false, find a few people to help see if it's over, what's the noise? ”
"It should be this reason, but I don't know why, not only is there no glue on this plate, but the section is also very clean, and it looks like it is newly cracked, I think that brother is going to be unlucky today!"
"And that kind of thing?" A porcelain plate, just pick it up and look at it, it will be split in half, and the section is glued and the crack is very new, this Nima can't do so well even if the stall owner deliberately designs!
Li Yi became interested immediately, he looked at the crowd, turned sideways and slowly squeezed in, and then saw the plate that had been split in half at a glance.
His heart jumped slightly, and he said secretly: "It's a little troublesome now...... because that plate turned out to be a real Yuan Qinghua!
He stood aside and listened for a while, and indeed, as the young man had said, the plate had cracked by itself when it was put back, and there was no sign of falsification!
The hapless tourist from China was a Chinese, and she was accompanied by two women, one older and the other younger, who were supposed to have traveled to Japan as a family.
Now, as if the middle-aged man had resigned himself to his fate, the focus of the debate had shifted from whether he had damaged the porcelain plate to how much money he should pay.
The Japanese stall owner's offer is 64 million yen, which is slightly lower than the normal price of this porcelain plate, but it is definitely a price at the level of Yuan blue and white.
But how could the middle-aged man agree? His counteroffer was only 500,000 yen, and the psychological price difference between the two was more than 100 times, so it was no wonder that they quarreled.
"So many people are watching, I just put this plate in my hand for a moment, and then put it down, how could it be that I cracked? It must have been cracked from the start! ”
"That's impossible, you've also seen the fracture, it's indeed a new crack, and so many people have seen it before, it's always been good, who else can you break it? Maybe it was deliberately broken when it was handed over. ”
The price could not be negotiated, so he naturally had to return to the responsibility battle at the beginning, Li Yi listened for a while, and found that even the helpers next to him couldn't figure out which party should bear the main responsibility, so he stepped forward and picked up the two plates.
"Alas, brother, be careful, if this cracks again, who will it be?"
"Yes, watch out for little Japan, there must be a mechanism on this plate!"
"I'll go, what you're saying is a bit irresponsible, you get me a mechanism like this and I'll see it."
The people around him quarreled again, Li Yi ignored them, and just picked up the plate to observe.
Indeed, the fracture is very new, and there are many fine burr-like broken porcelain, which at first glance look like it has just been cracked. If it is really as everyone said, it did crack when the middle-aged person put it back, then no matter what the reason, this responsibility cannot be shirked.
Now the question comes back to how much to pay. 64 million yen, almost equivalent to 4 million soft sister coins, this is definitely not something that an ordinary Chinese family can afford, so on the surface, this matter is indeed very difficult to do.
But both sides of the debate, including those who watched the fun, ignored one point, and that was the value of the fragment.
A cracked ancient porcelain plate is of course not as valuable as a good one, but in fact, sometimes, the difference between the two is not as big as some people think. Especially if you can find a top porcelain restorer like Ma Lao, it is entirely possible that this freshly broken plate will be repaired to a level where ordinary appraisers can't see the flaws!
"Okay, don't talk about it, do you want to solve the problem? If you want to, listen to me! ”
After Li Yi verified that there was indeed no problem with the spirit identification card, he directly opened his mouth to stop the quarrel between the two sides.
"I've heard the general story of what happened, so I'll confirm it with both of you now. Excuse me, when you picked up this plate, did you notice a crack in the middle? ”
The middle-aged man shook his head with a wry smile.
"So, did this plate really crack when you put it back in place?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Well, you're honest and brave. Now, I'm going to ask the stall owner. When Li Yi first heard about this incident, he felt that the middle-aged man was good, and now that he has admitted these facts, he can't help but feel even better.
"Mr. stall owner, did you notice a crack on this plate when you put it on the stall for sale?"
The stall owner also hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't pay much attention to it, but before this gentleman looked at this thing, no less than ten tourists had already seen this plate, and none of them said that there was a crack on it, and there was no sudden break." ”
"Okay, I understand, so let's do it, I'll buy this plate, but the price can't be the price you said, sir, you have to discount a little."
After speaking, he did not wait for the stall owner to answer, and then turned to the middleman and said: "Since I bought the plate, then the corresponding loss will be transferred to my head, so you should give me compensation." Again, it can't be the number you just said, it has to be doubled. ”
The doubling of 500,000 yen is only 1 million, and it is less than 70,000 yuan when it is converted into soft sister coins, and the middle-aged man was about to nod his head when he heard it, but suddenly he hesitated a little, it turned out that his lover was biting his ear with him.
Li Yi ignored him, but turned around and talked to the boss about the price. In fact, it doesn't mean to want this 1 million or not, but if you do something wrong, you must show something, so he insisted on asking this person for 1 million.
"Boss, this is the price I offered." There were too many onlookers, and it was inevitable that there would be complications, Li Yi did not make a public offer, but directly pressed a string of numbers on the calculator, 48 million.
The boss took the calculator, shook his head, re-entered a string of numbers on the calculator, and then returned the calculator to Li Yi, 58 million.
The two of them went back and forth here for a few rounds, and finally the boss finally agreed to Li Yi's offer, 51 million.
This offer, if it is an intact Yuan blue and white ancient porcelain plate, must be a loss. But now the porcelain plate has been split into two halves, and the Chinese man who cracked the porcelain plate obviously can't lose the money, so if you sell it at the price of splitting it in half, this price is actually a big profit.
After getting this way, Li Yi turned his gaze to the middle-aged man, he felt that the other party should agree to his request, because he was a good person, and the money was not very much.
The middle-aged man was about to speak, when suddenly, the middle-aged woman beside him pulled him hard and pulled him behind him, "We don't pay anything, we don't pay a point!" Hmph, if you don't come out to play this scene, we may still not understand, but now everyone must understand, right? They're trying to cheat us out of our money! ”
After that, she glanced at Li Yi with contempt, "People like you, I've seen a lot in China!" ”
