As soon as Zhao Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but look towards Mo Ling.

Mo Ling was playing by the car at this time, and when the car drove away, he was about to return to Moyu, and when he saw Zhao Zhuowang coming, he said: "I also have an exclusive secret recipe for this porcelain." ”

"Exclusive secret ingredient?" Zhao Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this.

As the old saying goes, "Porcelain is not worth half a cent if it is broken", and in today's collections, once the ancient porcelain is damaged, its value is less than one-tenth of the whole vessel.

Ancient porcelain itself is fragile, and with the passage of time, it is inevitable that it will bump and bump, resulting in damage or mutilation of the shape. If it is not repaired and not well preserved after breaking, it is possible to lose its broken parts or lose its edges and corners due to wear and tear over time. Moreover, the porcelain surface has a punch, and it will expand on its own if it is not repaired for many years.

The so-called punching mouth refers to the porcelain mouth being hit by a large external force, and cracks of different lengths have been pierced.

However, unlike calligraphy and painting framers and bronze restorers, the number of porcelain restorers is very small, and even if there is one, it is likely that it is difficult to restore the original charm of ancient porcelain because of rough technology.

Therefore, if there is a unique secret recipe for the restoration of porcelain, it is absolutely priceless.

Zhao Zhuo was thinking, only to hear Mo Ling say: "I was once collected by a great collector of the Ming Dynasty, this person loves jade and porcelain, one day I heard that there is a strange man in the rivers and lakes who will repair porcelain skills with one hand, even if the porcelain is broken into pieces, it can be repaired seamlessly, and as long as it is properly maintained, it will not change color and deteriorate for life." ”

Zhao Zhuo gasped when he heard it, don't look at these simple words, but if it reaches the ears of people who know how to do it, it can surprise the soul.

There are three difficulties in repairing this porcelain, one of which is the difficulty of quality preservation.

Today's porcelain repair materials are generally chemical raw materials, such as epoxy resin, various glues, etc., have a certain application period, after the expiration date, it will decompose and change color, at most can guarantee 10 years, lifelong quality, this is simply a legend.

The restoration of ancient porcelain is generally divided into three types: archaeological research restoration, museum exhibition restoration and commercial exchange restoration.

The so-called archaeological research and restoration is to provide better physical materials for the research work of archaeological experts and scholars.

Museum exhibition restoration, is for museums, exhibition halls to provide ideal physical exhibits, for the majority of the audience to visit and appreciate, its restoration is basically the same as commercial restoration, the difference is that the surface visual effect of the restoration site requirements are poorer.

As for commercial exchange restoration, it is to restore the damaged and incomplete ancient ceramics to their original and intact appearance, so that they can be traded as commodities. This type of restoration requires a high level of technical skill to restore the damaged object to its original shape and color, as well as to make its color, ornamentation and texture look intact.

This kind of restoration is the most difficult of the three types of restoration, but it is also the most profitable for ancient porcelain, as long as it is used for trading, then it must be used this commercial restoration method.

However, if commercial restoration wants to make it perfect, many times it cannot reach this level, if the repair does not meet the standard, there is no way to trade, if the repair is too much, and the cultural relics are destroyed, it can be described as a dilemma, which itself is a problem for restorers, not to mention the small number of restorers today.

The third is that it is difficult to retain color, and after repairing the artifact, it is necessary to dye the repaired parts, which is also the most difficult process in the porcelain, which requires a variety of pigments to be blended.

This sounds simple, but in fact it requires a very high level of skill, and it is often impossible to make the color the same as the original glaze, which directly affects the visual effect.

So, if it can be done seamlessly, it will be even more magical than repainting.

Zhao Zhuo came back to his senses, his face couldn't hide his joy, and then asked what this secret recipe was, and after understanding it, he had a rough idea in his heart, thinking about when he could give it a try.

It didn't take long for the two to reach their destination.

This business reception was organized by the well-known leading enterprise Haifeng Group in Baicheng, Haifeng Group specializes in modern porcelain, which has a history of thirty or forty years in Baicheng, although the brand is not old, but the foundation is very solid, and its porcelain market share accounts for more than half in Baicheng.

The people invited to participate this time are the heads of ceramic manufacturers and related enterprises related to Haifeng Group, and the venue is also in the best star-rated hotel in Baicheng, and the group has contracted the hotel's cafeteria, which is very atmospheric.

Han Tiesheng knew a lot of people, and as soon as he came in, many people came to say hello, and the things he talked about were also varied, not limited to ceramics.

The cocktail party is actually a place for businessmen to communicate with each other, the familiar is more familiar, and the unfamiliar are mixed with familiar faces, talk about business, talk about Xiaotian, it seems that everyone knows that there is a collection auction, so many businessmen have an appraiser with them.

During the chat, the businessmen proudly introduced the appraisers around them, some of whom were members of the Baicheng Appraiser Association, and some were appraisers of professional companies.

Zhao Zhuo is low-key, and Han Tiesheng is not a conspicuous person, and when others ask about Zhao Zhuo's identity, they only say that they are nephews.

Although Zhao Zhuo has seen more of the world now, he is not very suitable for this kind of too formal occasion, but fortunately, everything is guided by Han Tiesheng, and it is also very easy.

When the reception was coming to an end, Liu Yongle, chairman of Haifeng Group, walked to the stage, and the venue calmed down, only to hear Liu Yongle smile and say: "I am very happy today, thank you for being able to participate in the cocktail party held by our Haifeng Group, which is also a lively start for our continued cooperation in the next year, so in order to thank you for your visit, the group specially purchased a batch of ancient porcelain in the big auction house in the province for today's auction, and all the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Red Cross. For charity. ”

Everyone applauded, Liu Yongle pressed his hands slightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Of course, in order to show fairness, and to let these good things be appreciated by everyone, everyone can only successfully take one piece." ”

Han Tiesheng whispered: "Xiao Zhuo, you have to help me keep an eye on it carefully, don't underestimate this auction, everyone doesn't feel sorry for money, and all you earn is fame, but if you don't even understand the price, you have to auction that thing, and you will be laughed at." ”

Zhao Zhuo said with a smile: "Uncle Han, don't worry, I will help you check the price and ensure that you will not lose." ”

At this time, a table was pushed up, covered with a red cloth, and everyone gathered around the front, keeping a distance of about three or four meters.

Blue and white porcelain, also known as white ground blue and white porcelain, the whole is blue, the original blue and white porcelain is seen in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the mature porcelain appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and became the mainstream of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, and the development reached its peak during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and produced many derivative varieties.

The blue and white porcelain vase in front of you is the typical style of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, with lips, short neck, sloping shoulders, deep abdomen and lower contraction, circle feet, with the rich characteristics of Yuan blue and white composition, the main body is decorated with fish algae pattern, algae and swimming fish are fused together, algae fluttering, fish flying shallow bottom, and it is integrated.

Of course, it's as simple as it gets, but to be instantly recognizable, you must have a wide range of knowledge as the foundation, which is the most basic lesson for a porcelain appraiser.

The businessmen who can come to participate in this high society are not short of money, and the appraisers brought by them are naturally of a certain level.

After Zhao Zhuo finished distinguishing this style and ornamentation, he took a closer look at the other parts, from the part to the whole, and only felt that this porcelain was tall and beautiful, the blue and white hair color was gorgeous, and the brushwork was smart and smooth. In the end, it was undoubtedly the real thing, Mo Ling walked around, and seemed to know that Zhao Zhuo had the ability to tell the difference, and he didn't speak, but he was very interested in the food and other things in the party. It's a pity that although she has the ability to come into contact with physical matter, she is an imaginary existence, and she can only sigh when she looks at the dazzling array of food.

Han Tiesheng saw that Zhao Zhuo didn't say a word, staring at the porcelain, and when his expression eased slightly, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How is it?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly: "Uncle Han, rest assured, it's genuine." ”

Han Tiesheng asked again: "What about the price?" ”

Zhao Zhuo pondered for a moment and said: "It's about 100,000, and more than 150,000 is not worth it." ”

At this time, the auctioneer invited by Liu Yongle introduced the origin of this porcelain, and at the same time explained some knowledge of Yuan Qinghua, and finally said that the starting price was 50,000 yuan, and the bidding price was at least 2,000 each time.

The merchants exchanged heads with the appraisers they brought, nodding their heads from time to time, confirming the prices in the appraiser's mouth.

The auction is a very test of the appraiser's experience, the same is Yuan blue and white, its shape, texture, etc., the price is also very different, which not only requires a pair of discerning eyes, needs enough knowledge, but also the grasp of the market is also very important.

Fortunately, with Zhao Zhuo's ability to never forget, he can refer to the latest market at any time, and he naturally grasps the price very accurately.

In the price range that Zhao Zhuo said, Han Tiesheng was also very interested in trying the feeling of bidding.

It's just that due to the large number of bidders, the price has been soaring, and it was bought only after it was called 320,000.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, in this case, it is normal to be able to shoot at a higher level than the actual price, after all, everyone wants to show their faces, and secondly, they can also gain a good reputation, after all, the money to buy porcelain is used to do good deeds.

But to buy this porcelain for 350,000, it is really not worth it, although the price of ancient porcelain has always been only up and not down, but this piece of Yuan blue and white is not a fine product, to rise to 350,000 I don't know how many years later.

However, there is such a bold person who dedicates 350,000 yuan to charity, and there is also a round of applause.
