Chapter 15 Antiques
In ancient times, Luotian City was called Luocheng, which belongs to a city with historical accumulation, there are many antique streets in the city, and the thrift market is the kind of place that is not high-grade, but attractive.
The rich have the habit of buying antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the poor like to collect coins, stamps or something, and the choice of not being poor or rich is large, and they like to pick up leaks in the thrift market, in case they find valuable bronze ceramics.
In order to increase the difficulty and fun of the game, Chen Lei did not invite any antique experts to come, and directly entered the trading market with Li Chenlong.
Entering the venue, give them the feeling of a sea of people, "No, how can there be so many people to find a treasure?!" Chen Lei was stunned.
"Everyone wants to get rich!" Think about the past life, it's unbearable! With his hands in his trouser pockets, he was looking for a job all over the street, but because of his young age, he couldn't endure hardship, and he was rejected, Li Chenlong felt sad when he thought about it.
Now it's different, he has 500,000 in his arms, a villa worth 10 million, and four beautiful girls by his side, and he can walk on his toes.
Soon, Li Chenlong was attracted by the unique environment here, squatted down, and looked at the antique porcelain in front of him one by one.
"Big brother, do you want to buy it? In the early days of the Republic of China, the bottles sold you for more than 500," a man with a military backpack on his back greeted warmly.
Chen Lei looked at the small porcelain vase in his hand with great interest, Li Chenlong glanced at it, and said disdainfully: "Was there a Luotian porcelain factory in the early days of the Republic of China?" ”
Chen Lei was happy and said: "In the early days of the Republic of China, there was only Luo City, how could there be a Luo Tian City Porcelain Factory." ”
"Then this is a fake," Li Chenlong patted the bottom of the small bottle and said, "There are marks on it, but it's a pity that it's been a long time and I can't see it clearly." ”
"Really?" Chen Lei turned the porcelain vase upside down, took a closer look, and six words: made by Luotian Porcelain Factory, without Li Chenlong's reminder, I really couldn't see what was written on it, I knew which words, and I recognized it at a glance.
Chen Lei threw the bottle to the seller and said, "Who are you fooling, do you really think you are a novice?" ”
The seller took the porcelain bottle in a panic, and almost fell to the ground, seeing that Chen Lei was dressed well, he subconsciously didn't dare to get angry.
The two walked all the way forward, and the things that caught their eyes were either rough or had all kinds of flaws, even if Li Chenlong couldn't distinguish the real from the fake, he knew that the things were definitely not expensive.
"Brother, that's amazing! Have you done any research on this? Chen Lei exclaimed.
"No, I'm just holding my eyes, it's not easy to hit the eyes, and the authenticity of porcelain antiques is not clear."
"Really? I can't pick out anything good from the stalls here, so let's go into the store and have a look. ”
In the thrift market, there are many shops that want to be a little more expensive, and many of them are priced at 180 yuan. But there are fewer people going in, after all, the sellers who can open a store, the vision is there, the chance of seeing the wrong eye is not big, and the buyer has a great chance of seeing the eye!
Of course, there will be many old customers who are looking for this kind of store to trade, after all, things have a collection value, unlike street stalls, which are worthless.
"Hehe, three of you, please, are there any types of interest you?" The shopkeeper greeted the trio warmly.
"Whatever, as long as it's fun and interesting," Chen Lei bared his teeth, revealing a cunning look. The other party was stunned for a moment, and instinctively asked, "Big customer?" ”
"If you want to have good things, you will naturally be a big customer, and if you don't have good things, you will be passers-by to each other," Chen Lei pointed to himself and pointed at the other party.
The shopkeeper's expression was slightly stunned, and Li Chenlong noticed that the scale of the store that Chen Lei took him into was not small, with three floors up and down, and two floors selling goods and people living on the top floor.
"Hehe, upstairs, please," the shopkeeper instantly understood what Chen Lei meant, the three people in front of him had just entered the antique industry, wanted to buy things, and were afraid of being deceived, so they started from the bottom.
Listening to Chen Lei's meaning, I wanted the store to come up with some genuine goods, so that they could open their eyes, and if they saw it, they would naturally buy it.
The four of them went up to the second floor, Li Chenlong's eyes were slightly closed, dozens of porcelain antiques were placed in the cabinets on both sides, revealing an antique atmosphere, just opposite them, there was an old man, and next to the old man sat a woman, the woman had a plain skirt, and when she saw someone coming in, she looked back, and several people were stunned, they actually knew each other.
"Mr. Chen, it's a great pleasure to see you again!" Fan Qingyi came over reservedly, shook hands with Chen Lei, and shook hands with Luo Kai and Li Chenlong.
Li Chenlong said strangely: "Miss Fan, why are you here?" ”
Chen Lei was surprised: "Li Chenlong, do you know Miss Fan Qingyi?" ”
Li Chenlong smiled bitterly: "The dressing box I auctioned is Miss Fan's grandmother's, and she has just opened a boutique, and she is also Miss Fan's general agent, and she also exempted me from the franchise fee and the first-year agency fee." ”
Chen Lei said in his heart: "Will Li Chenlong lack this money?" Soon he was relieved, and the other party must thank Li Chenlong for making such a gift.
Seeing through Chen Lei's thoughts, Li Chenlong pretended not to know: "Chen Lei, how did you and Miss Fan meet?" ”
Chen Lei said calmly: "I am talking about a business with Miss Fan, there were three negotiators, since we have a relationship, Miss Fan, please send someone to my company tomorrow to discuss cooperation intentions." ”
Fan Qingyi was overjoyed, the business that was about to fly away turned around. The depression was swept away, and he nodded: "No problem, I'll go in person tomorrow morning." ”
"Then I'm waiting for Miss Fan," Chen Lei said happily.
Everyone laughed and had a good time.
Just because he and Fan Qingyi know each other, women have one more business, Li Chenlong is not only happy, but also sighs that his own energy is great, amazing! After laughing at himself, after a few people sat down, Li Chenlong asked, "How did Miss Fan come to the thrift market?" ”
Fan Qingyi, who was in a good mood, also treated Li Chenlong gently, and said, "I'll take the dressing box to Mr. Wang to see if it can be restored?" ”
The dressing box was old, and it was pried open by Li Chenlong, Fan Qingyi took it and wanted people to pick it up, so that they could continue to use it as a souvenir, but they didn't expect to meet Li Chenlong and the others.
"Uh," Li Chenlong glanced at the dresser, took his gaze back, remembered the old lady's dying voice and smile, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, the man felt it, he crossed over, naturally it is easy to breed the taste of loneliness, this kind of emotional fluctuation was not noticed by others, but it was taken in by Fan Qingyi, the woman's heart was extremely sore, and she missed her deceased grandmother.
"Hehe, young man, how did you find out that the dressing box had a mezzanine?" Wang Chengli asked curiously.
Wang Chengli, a predecessor in the antique industry, even if he is not famous, has been infected for decades, and he dare not say how experienced the technology is, and he is not a small number of familiar peers.
Hearing someone ask, Li Chenlong replied, "Yes, I accidentally found it." ”
"I think this box is quite tightly structured, how do you guess it will hide something?" Wang Chengli asked the bottom line.
Li Chenlong was sweating profusely, how could he consider such a problem? I already knew that there was something in the box, but I couldn't help but answer, so I had to say: "Maybe my eyes are better, and I can find that the color difference at the bottom of the box is different." ”
Li Chenlong's sentence is chewy, if you want to hide something, you must open the bottom of the box, put it in the paper and re-decorate, the problem has been infected by wind and frost for decades, how can he distinguish, which color differences come from the original modification, and which color differences come from future wear? What is the difference between the two?
With Wang Chengli's inquiry, Li Chenlong was about to sweat profusely, and the old man actually recognized the Lord of Death.
Chen Lei heard the conversation between the two and interjected: "Li Chenlong, how good are your eyes?" Not to mention this box, just those stalls just now, how many pieces were you able to see the problem at a glance, how did you do it? ”
He didn't explain it anymore, Li Chenlong regretted digging a pit and trapping himself. He pressed his heart, stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, the things in the cabinets on both sides are genuine, right?" ”
Wang Chengli smiled: "How do you say it, at least in my eyes, it's genuine, is it eye-catching?" It's about to be identified by the masters. ”
"Can you take it out and have a look?"
"Look at it casually, it's not worth anything, it's a thousand eight hundred yuan," Wang Chengli said indifferently, he was also curious, what was Li Chenlong going to do? Does the boy still have to find fault with the things he has identified?
In order not to be "slapped in the face" later, the old man deliberately belittled the collection in the store, and the price was very low.
Li Chenlong nodded, opened the glass baffle, took out the first item and played with it in his hand and looked at it.
The big wine bottle was black and white, he picked it up and weighed it slightly, and said, "There is a crack at the bottom, marked with the name of Yongle eight years." There are sake lees inside, probably decades old, with a large notched hair strand ...... at the top. ”
Li Chenlong continued to speak, at first Wang Chengli didn't care, this thing, you can see it if you are a little more serious, and soon revealed surprise, the kid said too many things, and some even details that he hadn't paid attention to.
"The eyesight is really good!" Wang Chengli said in an affirmative tone.
Soon, Li Chenlong saw the fifth item, the small porcelain bowl of the Qing Dynasty, and when he read the Taoist, Wang Chengli stood up suddenly and said, "Wait, are you sure?" ”
Li Chenlong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Next to the heart, Austria's ao, don't you pronounce 'ao'?" ”
"No," Wang Chengli shook his head and said, "The Taoist is Li Eel, one of the eight monsters in Yangzhou, has this small porcelain bowl passed through his hands?" ”
The things in the cabinet were not all carefully looked at by Wang Chengli, this porcelain bowl was relatively ordinary, and he only distinguished the authenticity, so he couldn't imagine that there was such a thing hidden.
Wang Chengli took the small porcelain bowl, looked up and down, and under the guidance of Li Chenlong, he saw three small characters in the bottom corner, the seal font, the font was not clear, and after careful identification, it was really the word "chagrin".
Li Eel's life was down, and it was really not strange to use an ordinary small porcelain bowl, Wang Chengli took out a magnifying glass, carefully checked it for a long time, and finally confirmed it to be genuine.
The small porcelain bowl Li Eel has basically been confirmed, only the seal is left, there is no inscription or anything, the estimated price of seven or eight hundred porcelain bowls, it is possible to sell it for thirty or forty thousand, the value is still not large, but Wang Lao looked at Li Chenlong again and looked at him with a much more cautious look.
