Chapter 178: The Heaven is Completely Defeated
Jin San said: "Aren't there just a few students?" I can solve it today, how big is that? If you want me to fish for you, then call Daddy, and if any of you admit that it is my son, I will help. ”
Zhou Jie said: "Good boy, then I'll wait for you, but let me remind you first, the school goes through the formal procedures, it can't be approved, and it's not easy to build a school by yourself. ”
"Cut, what kind of society is there now? I'm really not afraid of your means, since neither of you is involved, just let the small fish and shrimp below make trouble, I am really not afraid of them. Jin San said disdainfully, in the three towns around here, who has the Jin family's high esteem?
"Then we'll see." Zhou Jie said.
Li Lin said at this time: "Okay, let's let them go over if it's unpleasant, and now let's talk about this copper table." ”
"Copper table? How? Li Dashao wants to take advantage of me again? I'm not going to sell this cheaply. Jin San said with a smile.
Li Lin said: "If you don't sell it to me cheaply, what are you doing in your hands?" This thing can't be sold at a high price in China, and you have no channels to go out. ”
Tao Lin thought for a moment and said, "I don't care what you did before, but now this thing can't be shipped out, otherwise I will expose you." ”
"What? Didn't Professor Tao just say that this is a modern imitation? Zhou Jie joined in the fun.
Tao Lin already had an idea: "Isn't this my family's words?" What has not yet been studied and understood, it cannot be ruled out that it is a possible surname of a national treasure, so only when the identification is clear, can you let you deal with it privately.
I'm also doing this for your good, if this thing is a national treasure, won't it hurt you?
You also know how powerful the current public opinion is, and you have experienced it, and if you are not careful, it may also affect your family. ”
Jin Sandao: "Professor Tao's good idea, do these two copper tables still need to be identified by an authority like you?" Do you need me to send you home? ”
"Then it's not necessary, I'll just call a car to pull it myself, for the sake of how many times we've dealt with it, we don't want you for the appraisal fee."
"How embarrassing is that? Professor Tao came over to take a look at these words first, I have a low level of education and don't know these words very well. "Jin Sandao.
"Where? Could it be that there is an inscription on this bronze ban? As soon as Tao Lin heard the words, the three words bronze forbidden came out of his mouth directly this time, and he couldn't care about saying that this was a copper table.
"Well, I just know a word, it seems to be a three, there is no way to primary school culture, just know a few numbers." Jin San pointed to a corner of the bronze forbidden internal test.
Jin Sanyi said that Zhou Jie, who was closest to him, immediately leaned over and squeezed the later Tao Lin outside, he lay on a corner of the bronze ban, and took a closer look: "Made by Jin San?" It's those four words, right? ”
"What? Made in Jinsan? Li Lin said a little surprised.
"Made by Jinsan?" At this time, Tao Lin also felt a little smacked, this Jin San was waiting for him here!
Li Lin said: "Jin San, this can't really be made by you, right?" ”
Zhou Jie said: "Then how did you refine this copper?" I see your machete is very sharp! Why can't you cut it? ”
Li Lin said: "Yes! Although I didn't study well in school, I still know that copper should be very soft, right? Not to mention using this machete, even with a kitchen knife, you should be able to cut it. ”
Jin San said deliberately: "How do I know how to do it?" ”
It's like a casual word, casually spoken.
As soon as Jin San finished speaking, he immediately stopped, and continued: "Can I sue you for this kind of secret recipe?" I've told you, what else is going on with me? ”
"Made in Jinsan? This is what you engraved? Do you know? You are committing a crime, how can you scribble on this national treasure? When Tao Lin saw those words clearly, he immediately became furious.
"What national treasure? These are the two gadgets I cast myself, my own things, I can carve how I want, do I have to ask your old man for instructions when I cast? Jin San said disapprerovingly.
"You cast? Do you know what it is? Do you know what this bronze means? Do you know why this bronze ban can't be slashed? ”
Jin San hadn't answered yet, but Li Lin and Zhou Jie said in unison: "Why? ”
"Ugh! No, I haven't studied this thing yet, so I'm going to take it back and study it well, if it's a modern craft, I'll send it back to you, and if it's a real antique, this thing also belongs to the state. Tao Lin said as a matter of course.
The bronzes that have been handed down and handed down in an orderly manner can be bought and sold, and only those that are born in the pit are not allowed to be bought and sold, that is, they have only been unearthed.
Although the heirloom bronzes can be collected but not bought and sold, they can be collected and bought through regular methods, auctions, antique markets, and private exchanges for bronze Buddha statues, mirrors and other common necessities.
Due to the ban on the buying and selling of bronzes by the national cultural relics department, the domestic market cannot be opened, and only a small number of orderly and overseas repatriation can appear in domestic auctions, so the price of bronzes in the private sector is still at a low level.
This is also Tao Lin's wishful thinking, and this has also created smugglers like Li Lin, domestic bronzes are not valuable, but foreign are very valuable.
Since ancient times, bronze ware has been regarded as the "important instrument of the country", and it is the quintessence of China that can be compared with Western oil painting and sculpture.
However, because of the stipulation in the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics that "only cultural relics unearthed before 1949 and clearly recorded are allowed to circulate", many old bronze products have been blocked from the field of legal circulation, so that bronzes are rare in the current art market.
Its market price is more low-key than that of ancient calligraphy, painting, and porcelain, which are often hundreds of millions.
The collection of bronzes is the last and only "big leak" in the art market, and it is also a big minefield with a very serious crisis.
Bronzes that often flow out of the country will be sold for a sky-high price.
At present, the top three bronzes in international auction are: the bronze gold inlaid turquoise deer that sold for $12 million at the European Antiques Fair in the Netherlands in 2007.
In 2001, it sold for $9.25 million at Christie's in New York, USA.
and the Shang Dynasty bronze wine vessel Fang Hui that sold for $8.104 million in Buffalo, USA, in 2007......
In China, in a market where the red sandalwood pen holder of the Ming Dynasty can be auctioned for more than 50 million, and Qi Baishi's paintings can be sold for more than 400 million, none of the bronzes have been auctioned for more than 100 million, which is very abnormal.
The bronzes that have been dispersed abroad have been inflated in value and have no way to return.
And the three bronzes auctioned above are actually all wine vessels, and they are all small vessels, such wine vessels cannot be compared with bronze tripods, although they are better than bronze bans, but they are not much better.
They should be matching, the bronze ban of the wine vessel, and the wine vessel, are all rare and expensive, and the bronze ban is even rarer, so the price is not cheaper than Zun or Fang Hui.
Of course, the domestic Fang Hui is also rare, now it seems that only one book Fang Hui remains in the country, and the others are scattered abroad, and the domestic one, because there is an inscription on the word "book", so it is called the book Fang Hui.
The most precious bronze ritual vessels can be divided into four categories: food vessels, wine vessels, water vessels, and musical instruments, and the two bronzes of Jin San, the bronze tripod must be a food vessel, and the bronze ban can be regarded as a food vessel or a wine vessel, anyway, they are all very precious things.
Now only Jin San understands that the bronze tripod is a real treasure, and this bronze ban is an authentic imitation.
Bronze ritual ware is a treasure of the founding of the country, a wide variety, exquisite craftsmanship, especially the ritual ware with inscriptions, is the focus of the pursuit, such things, each of which is expensive.
Of course, Li Lin knows this, and now Zhou Jie also knows that since he suffered a loss in Li Lin's hands last time, he has also learned a lot about antiques, especially some things that are of high value and full of benefits, which are the targets of his attention.
"How much does this bronze forbidden cost to sell for the big boss?" Li Lin directly ignored Tao Lin's threat.
Looking at it like this, this bronze forbidden item is an authentic heirloom item, and at a glance, you can know that this thing must have been unearthed four or nine years ago, and the circulation records, these are really not a problem for Li Lin.
"Just go according to the price of the whole day, if you want it, my psychological price is this, you know, I am here to bargain from time to time." Jin Sandao.
It is a wine container in the late Shang Dynasty, which was unearthed in Qijiahe, Taoyuan County, Nanhu Province in 1920.
In 2001, the body was sold at the New York Art Auction for $9.246 million, the owner is unknown, and the lid is now in the Nanhu Provincial Museum.
The height of the original body is 63.6 cm, and the height of the lid is 21.5 cm.
The shape of the vessel is tall, magnificent, the four corners and the middle of the four sides are decorated with eight thick ridges, lined with cloud and thunder patterns, the main pattern of the beast face, the gap is filled with the dragon pattern, and the moire pattern is decorated on the main pattern and the ridge, and the mouth of the vessel is inscribed with the eight characters of "Vessel Tianquan is the father and his own respect for Yi", so the name is "Vessel Fang Wei".
The whole vessel is majestic and solemn, revealing the superb skills and breathtaking momentum of the heyday of Chinese bronze casting, and it is the largest and most exquisite piece of Fang Wei unearthed so far, which can be called the "King of Fang Li".
In ancient China, it was often used as an important ritual vessel, and at the grand banquets of the royal family and nobles, it was a must-have wine vessel, and the bronze ban was a thing that went with it.
The price of this bronze ban, Jin San has been carefully considered, and the price of the bronze ban is also Jin San's recognition of the domestic bronze market.
Jin San does not think that domestic collectors have nothing to do in the field of bronzes, of course, the current bronze country does not allow casual trading, but this will definitely change.
