Pottery can be said to be the most mysterious utensils of known human civilization, full of the life of human ancestors and the artistic style of the times. Common pottery www.biquge.info the brush, fun, and pavilion include gray pottery, white pottery, red pottery, painted pottery, and black pottery, and the painted pottery and black pottery in particular have the highest artistic value, representing the highest level of craftsmanship at that time.

Painted pottery not only has artistic value, but also can study the history of the time from the ornamentation, it can be said that each piece of painted pottery carries a piece of history; Black pottery represents the highest level of craftsmanship in the Neolithic Age, and the top black ceramics have the characteristics of "black as lacquer and thin as paper", which shows the peak craftsmanship level of the ancients in pottery.

The pottery that the shopkeeper took out in front of him is black pottery, not only the glaze is as black as lacquer, although it has not reached the level of 'thin as paper', but it is also quite exquisite, what surprised Li Mobai the most is that this is a three-legged pottery tripod, only this pottery, enough to push the Ding culture forward hundreds of thousands of years, how to make Li Mobai not surprised.

"Little brother, haven't asked for advice on what to call it?" The shopkeeper looked at Li Mobai and didn't get started, but was observing carefully.

"Li Mobai." Li Mobai did not hide it, and directly said his name.

"I'm Xu Yuanzhi." The shopkeeper also took the initiative to introduce himself, and said, "Brother Li, this black pottery is quite controversial, I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of you, if you like it, I will give it to you." ”

"Hehe, it's okay to have a dispute, I just trust my own judgment." Li Mobai said with a smile, still carefully observing the shape and glaze of this pottery ding.

"However, I don't know what I want, and I hope Brother Li can tell me clearly." The owner of the shop with the same name as the famous man of the Three Kingdoms said again.

"Oh, you say, you know everything." Li Mobai smiled, also a little curious.

"This pottery tripod has been in my hands for a long time, because there is controversy, so it has been kept in my hand, I hope Brother Li can tell me whether this tripod is an object from the Longshan culture period." Xu Yuanzhi is obviously also a senior collector, if he can't figure it out, he will definitely regret it.

Li Mobai smiled when he heard this, and said, "Boss Xu, it's really a big player." ”

Xu Yuanzhi smiled, "Brother Li smiled when he saw it, and he was ashamed, this was also obtained by chance." ”

Li Mobai said that Xu Yuanzhi was hiding clumsy and had a lot of good things in his hands, how could Xu Yuanzhi not understand, but he explained that he only obtained it by accident and did not hide his secrets.

Li Mobai smiled when he heard this, and he didn't care whether Xu Yuanzhi's words were true or false, but he also admired Xu Yuanzhi's observation.

Reaching out and taking the top cover into his hand, he felt that the weight was very light, and after carefully feeling the thickness, he found that the thinnest part was really only a few millimeters, and he was very surprised.

Put down the tripod cover, and then look at the tripod body, found that it is also very thin, the glaze is bright like lacquer, it is a typical eggshell pottery, the heart can not help but sigh the superb craftsmanship of the ancients, the heart has determined that this is the black pottery of the Longshan culture period, but in this era to find such a pottery tripod is really quite rare.

"Boss Xu, this pottery ......" Li Mobai stopped halfway through his words and looked at Li Mobai with a smile.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanzhi slowly stretched out 3 fingers, looked at Li Mobai without speaking, and waited for Li Mobai to speak.

"Good!" Li Mobai knew that Xu Yuanzhi meant 3 million Hong Kong dollars, thought about it for a while, and agreed.

"Brother Li, the clay pot outside just now has been wrapped for you!" Xu Yuanzhi laughed and said, he also admired Li Mobai's cheerfulness in his heart, and originally thought that Li Mobai would make a counteroffer, but Li Mobai responded in one bite, and suddenly understood in his heart that this pottery tripod was the black pottery of Longshan culture, if he didn't understand it by now, Xu Yuanzhi didn't need to open a store, and he could go home to retire.

In the end, Li Mobai gave Xu Yuanzhi a total of 4 million, which can be regarded as taking three pieces of pottery into his pocket.

Just finished the transaction, Li Mobai's phone rang, took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a call from Yu Ying, so he answered it, and before Li Mobai could speak, he heard Yu Yun whisper on the phone, "Brother, come quickly, Yu Qing and I found a painting, but we are not sure of the authenticity." ”

Li Mobai was happy, and said in his heart that these two girls were pure troublemakers, and they could still pick up the big leak that made them out with their eyesight, but it didn't hit the confidence of the two, so he said, "Where?" ”

"Treasures."

After hanging up Yu Jing's phone, Li Mobai asked Xu Yuanzhi the direction of Yazhenji, Xu Yuanzhi smiled when he heard this, "Brother Li still likes calligraphy and painting?" Yazhenji is a good place to go, but if you want to talk about calligraphy and painting works, Brother Li might as well go to Danqing Pavilion to have a look. ”

"Thanks, I'll check it out later." Li Mobai smiled.

"Brother Li, this is my business card, if you take out my business card after you go, you will definitely be able to see good things." Xu Yuanzhi took out a piece of dough and handed it to Li Mobaidao.

Li Mobai took the business card and looked at it, and found that the business card was very exquisite, obviously this business card could not be given by any person, "Boss Xu, don't leave it at that, if you go to the mainland in the future, whether it is Qincheng or Beijing, you must call me." ”

According to the direction pointed by Xu Yuanzhi, Li Mobai soon came to Yazhenji, and saw the tiger and the leopard standing outside, and as soon as he walked in, he saw the two girls commenting on a painting, full of style.

The boss was also quite cooperative, obviously being poured soup by these two girls, but listened to the performance of these two girls with great interest, and when he saw Li Mobai walking in, Yu Qing said, "Brother, come and see, this is Shi Tao's "Landscape Qingyin Map". ”

Li Mobai laughed when he heard this, these two girls are really capable of spoofing, "Landscape and Clear Sound Map" is clearly collected in the Shencheng Museum, these two girls don't know, they know that there must be differences, so they said, "Really?" ”

"yes, yes, look!" Yu Xun also said, winking at Li Mobai.

Li Mobai didn't answer the words of these two girls, and looked at the shopkeeper quite meaningfully, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, "Your two sisters are so cute." ”

What this means is that I didn't say that this is Shi Tao's real handiwork, it was the two of them who wanted to say it themselves, I just looked at these two girls very cute, so I cooperated.

"Brother, look at it, don't you like Shi Tao's paintings the most, let's buy them for you as a wedding gift!" Seeing that Li Mobai was indifferent to his hints, and didn't even glance at the painting, Yu Wei was a little anxious, and reached over to pull Li Mobai to look at it.

Li Mobai was helpless, and said in his heart that these two girls had found something, but the real work of this painting would never appear here, so he walked over and thought about it.

Approaching and taking a slight look, Li Mobai couldn't help but be surprised, the level of copying of this fake is really high, no wonder these two girls are very interested, and after thinking about it carefully, a bold idea came out of his mind, could it be that this painting was copied by Mr. Daqian when he was young, otherwise how could there be such a high level, whether it is the style of painting or the power of the pen is quite profound.

I took a closer look at it again, and confirmed that this is a famous copy, although the pen is not as strong as the original, and the lines drawn are smoother, but it has its own style, Li Mobai knows that this should be Mr. Zhang Daqian's style, no wonder these two girls are playing treasure here.

However, Li Mobai didn't show it at all, but shook his head, and the two girls suddenly became anxious, "Brother, look, it's good for me to buy it!" ”

Looking at the ridiculous appearance of these two girls, Li Mobai said unceremoniously, "It's natural to buy it, but you need to use your pocket money." ”

"Hmph, brother, you're so stingy!" "That's it, that's it, this painting won't be given to you!" When the two girls heard Li Mobai say that they could buy it, they couldn't help but be happy, so they asked the boss angrily, "Boss, how much does this painting cost!" ”

The boss looked at the style of these two girls, knowing that they were not ordinary children, but he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, so he looked at Li Mobai, but Li Mobai didn't speak, and turned his head to look at the other paintings in the store.

Seeing that the boss didn't speak, the two girls said angrily, "Boss, do you sell it or not!" ”

The boss was very helpless, depressed, looking at Li Mobai with two boxes in his hands, knowing that Li Mobai must be a collector, and he had clearly disagreed with these two girls to buy this painting, so he had to say, "200,000!" "I don't believe that you two have 200,000 pocket money, so let's retreat from the difficulty, don't embarrass me.

"Hmph, 200,000 is 200,000!" The two girls said angrily.

Hearing the words of the two girls, the boss was immediately embarrassed, and secretly said that there are so many rich people in the mainland now, and the pocket money is 200,000, which is really more exaggerated than the wealthy families in Repulse Bay in Hong Kong, so he had to look at Li Mobai again, and said in his heart, you have to say something, don't embarrass me, when you go and report me, I can't say anything.

Li Mobai didn't care about the boss, but looked at the paintings in the store with great interest, and coincidentally, Li Mobai was really attracted by a painting at this time, this is a long scroll, it turned out to be Shi Tao's "Lotus Society Map", which is obviously a copy, although the shopkeeper did not unfold it all, but Li Mobai still found that this was copied by Zhang Daqian.

I was also quite surprised that it was a miracle that a small shop could encounter two works copied by Mr. Zhang Daqian, perhaps the more impossible it is, the more possible.

The shopkeeper looked at Li Mobai indifferently, so he had to say, "Forget it, whoever makes you two beautiful and cute, give you a 5% discount!" ”

The two girls were immediately happy when they heard this, while slandering Li Mobai, they complimented the shopkeeper, quickly paid the money, wrapped up the "Landscape Qingyin Map", and proudly demonstrated to Li Mobai.

Li Mobai looked at the two girls and smiled, "I don't have any pocket money this month!" ”

"Hmph, ask grandpa for it!" The two girls said in unison, but the meaning of the painting was full of coercion, "Go back and tell grandpa that we bought Shi Tao's famous painting, and he must be very happy." ”

Li Mobai shook his head, still pretending not to speak, and let the two girls play tricks.

Jiang Suhan saw that Li Mobai actually acquiesced to Yu Yu Yu Qing to buy the painting, although he didn't know what the mystery was, but he knew that it must be a leak, and saw Li Mobai's eyes observing the long scroll in front of him, knowing that Li Mobai would never look at objects that he was not interested in, but found that Li Mobai did not answer to the boss, so he said, "Yu Xun, you help me see if there are any paintings of Shi Tao, and I will also buy one for my grandfather and give it to him." ”

"Yes, that painting is, but the price must be very expensive, and Yuqing and I can't afford it." Yu Yu said obediently, but the meaning was that his brother didn't say he wanted to buy it, so it must be a fake.

"Really, I'll buy this painting then!" Jiang Suhan also said with a stupid face, "Boss, how much does this painting cost!" ”

The shopkeeper suddenly had a head and two big, and his heart said that this family is all this living treasure, obviously it is a fake, and this young man clearly knows that it is a fake, but he does not stop it, since you don't stop it, then I will sell it, anyway, your family has a lot of money.

"300,000!"

"Okay, 300,000 is 300,000!" Jiang Suhan agreed, took out the bank card and handed it to the boss, meaning to let the boss swipe the card.

The boss glanced at Li Mobai, and found that Li Mobai was still indifferent, his face was indifferent, and he saw the shopkeeper looking at him, "Boss, take something good out and let me have a long experience." ”

When the boss heard this, he understood what Li Mobai meant and said that you look at it, if you have something good, don't hide it, there is money.

"I really don't have any good objects at hand recently, but there are a few works by contemporary Chinese painters, I don't know if you like it." The boss didn't dare to talk nonsense to Li Mobai, and the words just now already showed that Li Mobai knew that the two paintings he had just made were fakes.

After leaving Yazhenji, the two girls were proud, "Brother, which master copied this painting?" ”

"Who do you two think it will be?"

"I don't know, it can't be Zhang Daqian, right?" Yu Jing said very honestly, the one in his heart was also curious, although he knew that the skill of this painting was very deep, but he was not sure who it was, so he boldly guessed.

"Zhang Daqian? He copied a lot of Shi Tao's works, but what basis do you two have? Li Mobai didn't want to tell these two girls directly, so he took the exam.

Seeing that Li Mobai did not deny his guesses, the two girls talked about them one by one, but they had noses and eyes, but they were all speculations, and did not give exact evidence.

"Yes, this painting was copied by Zhang Daqian, go back and study it carefully, compare the painting styles of Shi Tao and Zhang Daqian, and you will gain something." Li Mobai did not continue to sell Guanzi, but pointed out the core.

The identification of calligraphy and painting, the style is indeed important, but the most important thing is the style of painting, through the style of painting appraisal requires the painter to know the style of each era, to do this, few people can do it, more are through the style of painting, style, seal, material and so on comprehensive research.

"Li Mobai, what about this painting?" Jiang Suhan couldn't help but be happy when she heard that Yu Yu and Yu Qing had really missed it.

"Sister Suhan, my brother didn't say he wanted to buy this long scroll." Yu Wei prompted, but the meaning was that Li Mobai didn't say that he wanted to buy it, and it must be a fake.

Jiang Suhan didn't care, "Who said he didn't let him buy it, you two didn't see it." ”

"Really? Got that this was also copied by Zhang Daqian? Yu Qing's eyes widened suddenly, and she said crisply, "Brother, if this "Lotus Society Map" is copied by Zhang Daqian, it will be a super big leak, "Lotus Society Map" is Shi Tao's pinnacle work, and Zhang Daqian's copy is even more rare." ”

"Brother, say it quickly!" Yu Wei was also anxious, I had seen this painting just now, but I knew that Shi Tao's original work had been collected by a private collector at a price of more than 10 million in 07, but I didn't expect that it was also bought by Li Mobai.

Li Mobai smiled but didn't answer, he was in a good mood, he actually bought two works of Zhang Daqian's early years before Zhang Daqian's special auction, which was really unexpected.

It wasn't until they got in the car that the two girls were still chattering and asking, and finally Li Mobai said, "You two continue to work hard, don't play treasure in the future, they are all big girls." The two babies pouted and stopped talking, but they knew the answer in their hearts.

"Li Mobai, you really picked up a big leak this time, are these pottery also leaks?" Jiang Suhan is also quite proud, although he knows that if he doesn't make a move, Li Mobai will also make a move, but after all, he bought it himself, which is equivalent to picking up the omission by himself.

"Where there are so many leaks to pick up, these three pieces of pottery are the normal market price, and it is a fairly high price." Li Mobai said.

"Then why do you want to buy it?" Jiang Suhan was a little puzzled.

"It's just luck to pick up leaks, and if you want to find good things in this market, you don't have to stand in the store and look at the leaks." Li Mobai paused, "At Xu Yuanzhi's place just now, if I hadn't promised the pottery outside, you said he would show me the two in the back." ”

"I understand, you want to borrow Xu Yuanzhi's mouth to help you establish popularity here, so that the owners of other stores can politely hand you good things, you are really insidious." Jiang Suhan told Li Mobai's purpose, and finally gave an insidious evaluation.

In fact, the antique circle is like this, it is impossible for ordinary people to see the real treasures of the store, especially in strange places, who knows if you have purchasing power, why should people show you, you have to first prove your eyesight and purchasing power, Li Mobai just traded with Xu Yuanzhi is to prove his purchasing power and eyesight like the Hollywood antique market.

"Shall we go and see it now?"

"No, I'll see tomorrow." Li Mobai smiled, the news is not so fast, the news of Xu Yuanzhi and Yazhenji will not spread in the market until at least tomorrow, "Yu Yu Qing, come with me tomorrow to see and see, don't run around." ”

Just after Li Mobai returned to the hotel, the news of Hollywood also spread, knowing that there was a player from the mainland who had a good eye and a generous shot, and at the same time, there was another news that a few girls around him only had a fancy to something, regardless of the real thing or fake, they were also generous.

For a while, Hollywood's antique circle suddenly talked about it, hoping that this generous buyer would continue to wander around Hollywood, and if he was lucky, he would be able to take a few goods, and he couldn't help but envy Xu Yuanzhi and Yazhenji's good luck, and the boss who missed Li Mobai also sighed, and he knew that he would put all the good things out.

The next day, Li Mobai appeared at the Hollywood antique market, and did not go to other homes, but went to the Danqing Pavilion that Xu Yuanzhi said for the first time.
