Chapter 147: The strength of Jumbo Xuan
"Don't have too much appetite for your kid, bird's nest abalone every day, you will eat it after all, what will future generations eat?" The old man couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"Then at least have a round belly, so that he doesn't dare to entertain him next time, otherwise I'm afraid I'll really go bankrupt for him." Li Mobai said with a smile, knowing that his trouble was coming, although Yu Jun on the other side of Shencheng was a little quieter, but that kid was definitely not a peaceful person, and he still had to be careful.
"Don't be complacent, stinky boy, be careful not to hold on, what you see now is only the tip of the iceberg." The old man scolded with a smile, "Come with me to the appraisal room and let you see it." ”
followed the old man to the appraisal room, and found that there was a painting, a ding, two porcelain, and an inkstone on the table in the appraisal room, "Old man, it seems that you have gained a lot recently, these things can enter your eyes, they must be good things, right?" ”
"Boy, don't come to my bottom, let's see for yourself!" The old man said angrily, this kid always wants to be opportunistic, and it is better to beat and beat.
The appraisal of antiques, sometimes is a connoisseur, through the look of the holder, you can see a lot of things, not everyone is a scheming person, eyes or look always reveal some important information.
Looking at the few objects on the table, Li Mobai knew that these things were definitely not simple, otherwise the old man would not let himself come to see them. Since it is knowledge, it is necessary to have long knowledge.
After a rough look at them one by one, I knew that these things were all good things, the painting was Zhang Daqian's painting, the tripod was the wrong gold tripod of the Han Dynasty, the porcelain was the Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup and the Qianlong enamel color vial, and the inkstone was the Duan inkstone of the Song Dynasty, none of which were not good things.
"Old man, these things should be boring, right?" Li Mobai smiled, but he didn't look at it.
"Hmph, what if you're tired, you have to see it." The old man said angrily.
Seeing that the old man didn't want to elaborate, Li Mobai laughed twice, then looked down at the objects on the table.
After taking a closer look, Li Mobai suddenly found that there were three fakes, although Zhang Daqian's paintings look vivid, no matter the style of painting or the seal can not find the problem, even if the rice paper is the Republic of China period of the mature Xuan, but the handwriting is not Zhang Daqian's genuine handwriting, although the copy is ingenious, but in the calligraphy is slightly missing Zhang Daqian's calligraphy pursuit of the artistic conception of demolition and house leakage, less the unique style of jumping smart, clear and strange.
The production technique of the wrong gold tripod is actually more ingenious, but through the description of the fake bronze pulp and bronze rust in the "Golden Stone Treasure Book", Li Mobai knows that this is also a fake, and although the enamel vial is very exquisite, it can be seen through the painter that it was definitely not at that time. Courtyard painting's famous painting style, enamel color is a very special category, because the production is quite time-consuming and laborious, all the porcelain fetal painting enamel porcelain is exclusively for the royal family, and the style of painting is according to the emperor's personal preferences and changes, the style of this vial is obviously not Yongzheng and Qianlong like.
As for the bucket chicken cup, it is the old man's treasure, Li Mobai once secretly looked at it once when he was a child, and he already had a preconceived judgment in his heart, and he didn't look at it much at this time to judge that it was genuine. As for the inkstone, Li Mobai took a look at it and didn't find a problem, although the carving was a little rougher, but it was a real Songkeng inkstone, but the material was not good, Li Mobai thought about it and still classified it as genuine.
When Li Mobai told the old man his opinion, the old man laughed and said, "Stinky boy, let me tell you, these five things are all ordinary goods produced by Jumbo Xuan, and you actually lost two of them." ”
Li Mobai was stunned for a moment, this inkstone is not too embarrassing, it is also an inkstone, but the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup that the old man treasured turned out to be a fake.
Secretly said ashamed, preconceived to kill people. Stretched out his hand and picked up the chicken bowl cup again and looked at it carefully, and this look really found a problem. The biggest feature of Doucai porcelain is the underglaze blue and white glaze color, the glaze color is after 1300 degrees of high temperature firing of the underglaze blue and white ware on the second color, and then put into a small kiln at 800 degrees high temperature secondary firing, and finally form a gorgeous and colorful hue and calm old and spicy color.
Therefore, all Doucai porcelain has the outline line of blue and white depiction decoration, which forms the most unique feature of Doucai porcelain, and also forms a difference from Wucai porcelain.
This chicken bowl cup is no different from the known collection from the point of view of technology, underglaze blue and white, the glaze is bright red, leaf green, water green, goose yellow, turmeric, black and other colors, the comprehensive use of color, color, dyeing, dotting and other techniques, the painting is also very exquisite, the chick leads the neck and sings, vivid, realistic and cute.
But when Li Mobai looked at it carefully, he found that the outline line of this chicken bowl cup was slightly uneven because of the secondary color after the second firing, and the combination of underglaze blue and white and overglaze color was slightly stiff, but the real product would never appear in this situation.
"Old man, I think I should know the origin of your cup, hey, the key is that I didn't know the authenticity of this thing at that time, if I knew it at the time, I would have taken it out and changed it for popsicles to eat, it would definitely be able to eat for several years, and I could take one in one hand and eat one at the same time."
"You stinky boy, like how much you suffered when you were a child." The old man scolded with a smile, and was not embarrassed when Li Mobai exposed the details, "What do you feel about what you have encountered recently and what you have just seen." ”
"The fakes made by Stone Ji can definitely be fake, even if they disclose their own names, they are also the people in the contemporary industry." Li Mobai thought for a while.
"This is just a thing from a few years ago, and the Stone Record is the Treasure Xuan, and it is also the enemy of Bogu Pavilion." The old man opened up the conversation and spoke.
Zhenbaoxuan and Bogu Pavilion are different, Bogu Pavilion is a loose organization, and Zhenbaoxuan is a strict family, Shi Qingshan is the contemporary handle, the family inheritance is also quite long, since the Ming Dynasty has been making fakes as the core industry of the family, so the imitation level of porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties is unique, bronze, jade and calligraphy and painting are also quite outstanding, and the Republic of China has reached a peak.
After liberation, it disappeared for a time, but after the reform and opening up, there was a heavy old business, and gradually developed into a big family. At this time, Bogu Pavilion, which was mainly engaged in antiques, also recovered and developed, so the two sides naturally became opponents, whether it was to open an antique shop or an auction, what was most feared, that is, fakes, natural enemies.
At one time, the two sides fought very fiercely, and later turned to a more civilized competition, of course, the losing side of the competition had to pay 10 years as a price - Bogu Pavilion won, then the fake of Jumbo Xuan must be marked with a stone mark; If Jumbo Xuan wins, then Bogu Pavilion cannot refuse to circulate the Zhenbao Xuan's fakes in the market, and Jumbo Xuan does not need to bear the symbol of the Stone Mark.
"Boy, Jumbo Xuan has not won in the competition, but from the beginning of the 80s to the present, 25% of all the collectibles worth more than 5 million are produced by Jumbo Xuan, think about the strength of Jumbo Xuan." The old man sighed and spoke again.
"The current patriarch of Zhenbaoxuan, Shi Qingshan, is also a genius, he knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he rarely does it himself now, for him, he just wants to win our Bogu Pavilion, so at the end of the year, he is determined to win, it is said that he has four very optimistic successors, one of which is Shi Zhongtian, who was abolished by you."
Li Mobai said in his heart when he heard this, I damn it, I actually got through the hornet's nest, and Shi Qingshan didn't eat me raw, "If these successors are all at the level of Shi Zhongtian, that's it!" But it's a good thing, the enemy is not strong enough, and there is one less. ”
"Hmph, what are you in a hurry, what are you in a hurry, he is optimistic about 4, because those 4 are all descendants, and Shi Zhongtian is the worst one, besides, the younger generation of the Shi family of Zhenbaoxuan is really powerful but a side youth named He Zudao." The old man saw that Li Mobai was a little proud, and threw out a shocking news.
"Well, in this way, then it will be enough to defeat him, at least in 10 years, you don't have to watch the fakes be auctioned for sky-high prices, and the collector will not scold us Boguge if he suffers a loss." Li Mobai knew that this seemed to have to be won, if he watched some top-notch fakes appear in front of him all day long, it wouldn't be disgusting.
"You're going to defeat Jumbo Xuan, do you know how to defeat them?" The old man laughed and said, "This autumn is afraid that this autumn is the battlefield of this trial selection, Jumbo Xuan will provide 100 lots to be sent to each auction house, whether it is true or false, if you can find the fake provided by Jumbo Xuan, and auction it, you can get points; If you can find them all and photograph them, you'll get double the reward; The three people who find the most fakes will play in the final big competition. ”
"Uh, if I find all the fakes and take a picture, then I'll be alone in the final contest with Jumbo Xuan?" Li Mobai made a joke.
"Boy, your ambition is not small! It's just that you have that much money to invest? Besides, Shang Shan and Wu Ru are not vegetarians, can they watch you eat them all by yourself? The old man felt a little crying and laughing when he heard this, and laughed and scolded Li Mobai's arrogance.
"Shang Shan? Wu Ru? It seems that they are all competitors, the old man will introduce it, since it is an opponent, you must know yourself and your opponent! Since there is no choice, Li Mobai will naturally not disarm and surrender, and he will gather all his strength to fight back.
"Shang Shan and Wu Ru are your biggest competitors. The characteristics of the two are Shang Shanqian and wise, and Wu Ru is flamboyant and ruthless. The old man thought for a moment and said, "The other candidates are relatively at the same level, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
Knowing from the old man that he had formed a bond with Jumbo Xuan, Li Mobai was not worried, the biggest problem he was facing now was the shortage of funds, and there were only a few million funds left in hand that could be used, and he had to prepare enough funds before the autumn auction began.
