Chapter 30: The Value of the Jade Buddha

Wu Yubin is a little clever, and he is quite generous in terms of money, so he can also mix well in the first class of Chinese painting. There are people in his family in the department and the college, and he can often help the class get some benefits and give his classmates some small favors or something, so he is quite competent as the class leader of the first class of Chinese painting.

However, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Wu Yubin doesn't look down on Dong Tianyue on the surface, but he compares with him everywhere in his bones. It's a pity that Wu Yubin, who is talented in wheels, is not as good as Dong Tianyue; round qualifications, Wu Yubin can't compare; In terms of appearance, it is even more unattainable. In the first class of Chinese painting, the most famous is not Wu Yubin, but the "ghost talent" Dong Tianyue. It is said that there are many girls who have a crush on Dong Tianyue, and there are many goddesses like Jing'er. It's just that according to legend, Dong Tianyue already had a girlfriend, which made many girls secretly heartbroken.

Not to mention anything else, this alone is enough for Wu Yubin to hate Dong Tianyue. Wu Yubin thinks, no matter how you say it, he is the class leader, he is the most popular person among girls, why is Dong Tianyue, is he worthy? Hmph, what's the use of being handsome? Hey, it's a pity that some of the girls in this class are just simple, so they were confused by Dong Tianyue's appearance!

In fact, in Dong Tianyue's eyes, he never regarded Wu Yubin as his opponent, and Wu was not worthy. Since the training, the only person who is qualified to be Dong Tianyue's opponent is his brother Dong Tianqi, and his eldest brother is still in New York. Therefore, for Wu Yubin's jealousy, Dong Tianyue only regarded it as the seasoning agent of life.

Wu Yubin asked Dong Tianyue so directly, if you can't say it, how can you get off the stage with a pair of eyes staring at you? Dong Tianyue smiled at everyone and said, "Well, then I'll tell you what is called white jade." In our country, white jade is a specific jade variety, which is the specific name for white nephrite. Because this nephrite jade is mainly produced in XJ Hetian, it is often referred to as Hetian jade. White jade is the most precious jade variety of nephrite.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, what people said about white jade only referred to XJ and Tian white jade; Now, in addition to XJ Hetian jade, people see white jade such as Xinshan jade, dense jade, Dushan jade, QH white jade, Korean and Russian white jade. Of course, Hetian white jade is the best quality of them all. ”

This answer is not bad, Wu Yubin is a little speechless, I feel that Dong Tianyue understands everything, what a! Liu Kunshan smiled and nodded, he didn't expect Dong Tianyue to really understand jade, and said in a questioning tone: "Oh, what is the difference between mutton fat white jade and white jade that people usually call?" ”

is worthy of opening a jewelry store, this question is to the point. Not many of you know about this problem, and it's just Gui Yumeng and Old Man Qilin.

Wu Yubin secretly clapped his hands and shouted, poison! This question is really poisonous! Although Gui Yumeng knew, he couldn't say it, so he could only be in a hurry. Jing'er also paid attention to Dong Tianyue with concern, as long as he couldn't answer, she would want to help him out of the siege. Everyone felt that this question was a bit difficult, but it was not difficult for Dong Tianyue.

"Liu Shao asked well. White jade is the best quality of nephrite, and the best quality of white jade is called mutton fat jade. Yes, mutton fat jade or white nephrite is the most precious white jade. It's just that it's as white as mutton fat, and people give it a separate name. If the meaning is the same, then why choose another name? I think the most fundamental reason is that people give Meiyu a nickname to express their affection. It's like people can call their lover 'dear', 'baby', 'heart' and so on. ”

Jing'er waited for an "oh", and it seemed that after listening to Dong Tianyue's introduction, she really understood the meaning and difference between the words "white jade" and "mutton fat white jade". Dong Tianyue's analogy was also used well, and Jing'er and Gui Yumeng, who listened to it, both showed slightly red faces, which were cute and moving. They were all thinking in their hearts, when did Dong Tianyue call himself "baby", what would it be like?

Looking at everyone's realization, needless to say, Dong Tianyue's explanation has been accepted by everyone. In this way, Wu Yubin can only be silent and not say a word of. Liu Kunshan was surprised, looking at Dong Tianyue's eyes seemed to change, and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect Brother Dong to study jade so well?" ”

Old Man Huo and Old Man Qilin looked at each other, Liu Kunshan called Dong Tianyue Brother Dong this time. Dong Tianyue could bear it, but on the surface, he said: "Liu Shao is polite, call me Dong Tianyue." I only know a little bit about where I can talk about research. ”

"You're humble." Liu Kunshan Road.

Speaking of which, it's time for the most important part of this first gift, which is the valuation. A thing is not how much you say is how much it is, it also needs to be valued. Valuation includes the identification of authenticity and the analysis of market fluctuations, and comprehensively estimates the value of a work of art. Today, in addition to Dong Tianyue, there are also two "insects" in the antique circle. One is Gui Yumeng, who is a national fourth-level cultural relics appraiser; The other is the antique dealer Kirin Wall. Although the old man Qilin has only been in the industry for more than ten years, he has been diligent in teaching "tuition" and has made rapid progress. In this way, if you talk about the professional level, the old man Qilin is still not as good as Gui Yumeng.

"Yumeng, you are a big expert, so let's estimate the price of this piece of jade in Kunshan." Huo Zhenying said to Gui Yumeng.

"Hmm."

Gui Yumeng was not pretentious, and nodded and agreed. She took the jade pendant and played with it a few times, and it felt warm and slightly slippery. Then, she shone it with a strong flashlight, and the light passed through the jade pendant, and there were no bubbles inside. The entire identification process takes no more than two minutes.

Soon, Gui Yumeng already had the answer in his heart.

"Oh, I didn't expect Miss Gui to have this ability? Dong Tianyue chased you, it's really a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation! Wu Yubin sighed as if jealous.

"yes, and it looks pretty professional. Miss Gui, what is the price of this jade, it doesn't hurt to say it directly. Young Master Liu said with a smile. Although he already knew the value of this Jade Buddha, it was another thing to hear others say it.

Gui Yumeng nodded and began to taste.

"Gold has a price, and jade has no price. The identification points of mutton fat jade must meet five aspects, namely, pure texture, fine structure, water head and feet, color mutton fat white, and heavy oil. Gui Yumeng tasted.

is worthy of being a professional appraisal appraiser, and the tone of his speech is different, which is called a professional. Then Young Master Liu's eyes lit up, oops, not bad, not bad. It's a pity that it's already famous.

After Gui Yumeng finished speaking, he turned on the light of the strong flashlight, shone on the jade pendant again, and motioned everyone to watch towards the light penetration. This mutton fat white jade is already white, revealing a warm luster, and this light penetrates, making it even more transparent and warm. It looks so beautiful. Walking next to the big guy, after pointing everyone to look at the species, water, oil and other aspects of the jade pendant, Gui Yumeng gave an overall appraisal of the price.

"The seed material is delicate and uniform, with a strong oil luster and translucent. The color tone is positive, no color cast, no variegation, and the color is uniform. The color is crisp and bright, and the saturation is appropriate. The combination of pretty colors is reasonable. No cracks, impurities, blemishes. It has been identified as Hetian jade special seed material. According to the current market price, the premium seed material is generally 7,000 to 9,000 grams, which is about 20 grams, that is, 180,000. This is to look at the raw materials, and then there is to look at the carving, which is called 'work' in the antique circle.

'Gong' is the carving process. When choosing jade, 'work' is very important.

"Work" is good, which means that the carving skills have reached the level of perfection, and the artistic ingenuity can be better expressed from the works. The figures and animals are expressive and the lines are smooth; The "work" is poor, and the ornamental shape is not satisfactory, so it is not advisable.

The so-called male wears Guanyin and women wear Buddha, this Maitreya Buddha means happiness and happiness. Look at the Maitreya Buddha on this jade pendant, he has a big belly and a smile; He sat on the floor with a bead in one hand; He has a smile and a big heart. Maitreya Buddha's fat dun dun shape looks simple and cute, and is deeply liked by girls. The carving of this jade pendant figure is lifelike, and the facial expression lines are depicted powerfully, which is more vivid and expressive. In general, this jade Buddha carving is superior in terms of craftsmanship.

Combined with materials and work, the market valuation I gave was about 200,000. I don't know what the two seniors think? ”

The two seniors didn't say anything, wondering in their hearts whether 200,000 was too much or too little? Huo Zhenying is a layman, and he cured his inquiring eyes and asked Qilin Bi: "What does Brother Qilin think?" ”

"Well, she said it very well, about the same price as I had in mind." Qilinbi took the jade Buddha handed over by Gui Yumeng, touched it, and nodded.

Wu Yubin was very depressed, but he didn't expect Liu Kunshan to be willing to spend his blood! Liu Kunshan's expression was not much better. He was also depressed when he thought about it, his father obviously said that he didn't need to send too valuable things in his life, and he chose this piece of jade, but this piece of jade is not valuable? Do you have to send millions of jadeite to be precious? Daddy's cheating!

This piece of seed material was bought by Liu's father for more than 50,000 yuan, and the "work" is a friend's work, and he doesn't need money. Therefore, Father Liu told Young Master Liu that this piece of jade was only tens of thousands of yuan. However, this appraisal is 200,000!

So, the value of the first gift finally surfaced - 200,000! If it is not a relative, or a particularly good friend, especially between men and women who are not very familiar with each other, a birthday gift is given so valuable, and the meaning it wants to express is self-evident.

200,000 is a lot, is Dong Tianyue under pressure? Gui Yumeng and Jing'er were both looking at him. Of course, Dong Tianyue was silent, and Wu Yubin thought he was under pressure. He didn't believe that Dong Tianyue could give more than 200,000 gifts! He thinks that even if Dong Tianyue has this heart, he doesn't have the economic strength!

Is Wu Yubin stressed? Looking at his calm appearance, you can know that he is not stressed.

Is there pressure on the end of the world? And he didn't have it. What does a gift of 200,000 yuan mean to ordinary people, it is a down payment in second- and third-tier cities; It was a well-equipped private car. However, for the children of a family like Qilin Tianya, 200,000 is a drizzle.

According to the lottery, the next appearance gift is Kirin Tianya's. Today, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qilin world is very big, and even Wu Yubin, who has always thought that he was born in a wealthy family, is submissive to him. The gift he gave must have been earth-shattering!

Especially Lou Weier, a few gold worshippers, are all looking at the end of the unicorn world. If it weren't for the elders here, I'm afraid I would have to scratch up.

So, what exactly is the gift from Qilin Tianya? Can Dong Tianyue tell his family background from the gifts he gave? What the hell does the Kirin family do?;
