Chapter 114: Fueling the Flames (Part II)

"Boss Qian, what is the price of ancient jade going to rise again?" The first thing Qin Xuebing met when he entered the industry was Qian Zhengtai and Qian Beibei's grandson, and the friendship between the two sides was good. I just can't figure out what Qian Zhengtai is muttering.

"It turns out that you kid is here, and it's not all made by you, watch the news by yourself." Qian Zhengtai dragged Qin Xuebing to the small TV and was broadcasting the press conference live.

"Hey, isn't this the piece of Zigang jade, I didn't expect Professor Huang to push it out." Qin Xuebing agreed with Qian Zhengtai's idea, as long as the jade merchant grasped this opportunity, it would not be difficult to push the price of jade up again.

"Zigang Yu, you said that this white jade teapot is Lu Zigang's work?" Qian Zhengtai squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the press conference, Professor Huang began to talk about the origin of the white jade teapot. This white jade teapot is made of mutton fat jade, with a net weight of 1635 grams, but the price is nearly 100 million in terms of weight.

But in fact, it can't be calculated like this at all, the inside of the teapot is hollowed out, and if you want to calculate the price by weight, you also need to calculate the hollowed out part.

Moreover, this is still a cultural relic, a jade of the Ming Dynasty, and the market value will be increased. The most important thing is that this is a work by Lu Zigang, so his market value is not ordinary jade, or even ordinary ancient jade can be measured, this is the handiwork of a top master.

"The most amazing thing about this teapot is not only that, its magic represents the pinnacle of jade making, which even modern technology cannot do."

Professor Huang did an experiment with his own hands, but this time he used a rubber band, and the handwriting printed on the inside of the teapot spout was more obvious: "This white jade teapot can almost represent the pinnacle of Master Lu Zigang's work, and its value cannot be estimated based on this alone." Of course. I know that journalist friends also want to know its value, so I will estimate it here, three to four hundred million, of course, this is still a conservative estimate, put it at auction, only high, not low. ”

Another piece of art worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which makes reporters feel like they are all bloody. And the audience in front of the TV felt dizzy. Qin Xiaoxiao also felt incredible: "Brother, is it really worth so much money?" ”

"This is the charm of the artwork, and this white jade teapot is to be collected in the Palace Museum, even if you have money, you can't buy it." Qin Xuebing shook his head, this white jade teapot can be called a top-level national treasure. If it can be bought with money, there must be many people who are willing to take the money out and smash it.

"Come on, we're going to go out for a walk too." Qin Xuebing had already thought of a gift, it should be good to get an ancient jade for Gugu, it was of high value and had connotation.

"Wait. Signed these things. ”

Qian Zhengtai took a pen and paper and said with a smile: "Bei Bei went out today, but he knew that you would definitely come over, so he specially asked you to leave an autograph before leaving, and he wanted to send it to a friend when he returned." ”

"I'm not a celebrity, why do you want my autograph?" Qin Xuebing was not angry, but he still signed his name.

"You're a famous treasure hunter. By the way, write the word treasure hunt mouse as well. Sign a few more, or the next time you come, that girl will let you sign a hundred. Qian Zhengtai joked.

"Xiaoxiao, the antique industry has its own unique rules......

Coming out of the Sifang Pavilion, Qin Xuebing explained the rules of the antique industry to Qin Xiaoxiao, while strolling around the stall, he stopped without going far, walked to a stall, picked up a jade pendant, and asked directly: "Boss, how do you sell this thing?" ”

"Brother has good eyesight, you look at the rough carving, it is a typical Ming Dynasty style, if you really want it, I will be cheaper, eighty thousand."

"Eight hundred!" Qin Xuebing directly cut off the two zeros, this is indeed an ancient jade, but it is not a jade of the Ming Dynasty at all, it can be seen that the stall owner does not know the goods at all, and is purely fooling. Even so, Qin Xuebing naturally wouldn't mind, and he followed the fool, just to see who could fool the other party in the end.

"Brother, you're bargaining too hard, aren't you? Look at this jade, there are three colors of jade, if it can be plated for two years, it will be worth 800,000 yuan. ”

The stall owner is not wrong, there are three colors of mercury Qin, Tuqin and Ding Jinqin on this jade, which is very rare in the unearthed ancient jade, and it is also very precious.

It can also be seen that the stall owner does not know the goods at all, otherwise he would not put the things on the stall at all, so it is impossible for Qin Xuebing to give 80,000 yuan: "Boss, let's not say that this jade is not old, if you look at this place, it seems to be a pit, and the quality is a few points worse, at most a thousand yuan." ”

"No, at least seventy thousand." The stall owner cites the price.

"Two thousand!" Qin Xuebing was relieved, but the person stood up, the meaning was obvious, if you don't agree, I will leave.

"Brother, it's not easy to mix up food, three thousand." The stall owner could see the resoluteness in Qin Xuebing's eyes, so he was not fooling. What's more, he sees that Qin Xuebing is so young, I'm afraid he can't even be considered a half-hanger, this kind of person is much more difficult to fool than a half-hanger.

"Brother, what is the origin of this jade?" Qin Xiaoxiao didn't doubt that she had visited Qin Xuebing's safe before going out, and knew that Qin Xuebing had picked up valuable things, and she would definitely have found a treasure.

"What do you think of this jade?" Qin Xuebing asked rhetorically, this is a human-shaped jade pendant, carved in the form of a lady.

"There is no luster, but there are a lot of colors, and the humanoid carving is also good, this lady's costume feels a little familiar, as if it appeared in a TV series, it should be from the Han Dynasty."

"You're much better than the stall owner, and this is a piece of Hanyu." Qin Xuebing laughed, these details can completely determine that this is an ancient jade, but it's a pity that the stall owner is too careless, or rather, he doesn't have common sense in this regard, no wonder he missed it.

"Because this piece of jade has been buried in the soil for too long, it has received various chemical reactions, so it has lost its luster. And these colors, called jade Qin, will appear in different colors in different environments, and our jade has three colors, namely mercury Qin, Tuqin and Ding Jinqin. Qin Xuebing said.

Mercury comes from both burial mercury and mercury from the soil. Generally speaking, the water in the soil cannot make the jade half black or all black, so people are accustomed to call the half-black or all black Hei Qin Gu, and the line or small spots are called mercury Qin. Mercury within 1,000 years is generally not too dark, mercury within 2000 years is not bright, and mercury more than 2000 years old is black, thick and bright.

Tuqin is generally made of red soil and loess, which is poured yellow to earthy red, and there seems to be a small nucleus in the middle, and the core is surrounded by radioactive cloud block-shaped scars, as if the traces of a firecracker collapse with yellow **. After 1,000 years of soil, there will be bumps or small pits in the core of the soil, or it will become a soil bite or erosion.

The Qin Zhan of the nail Jinqin is nail-eye-shaped, colored, pitted, brown, purple, gray, black, etc., mostly accompanied by linear depressions.

"But is anyone willing to wear such jade?" Qin Xiaoxiao frowned, this piece of jade did not have a little luster, and it did not conform to the normal aesthetics at all.

"Although ancient jade has lost its luster, it can restore its luster through panyu, which is also one of the greatest pleasures of jade collectors. Hidden close to the body, carefully cared for, after a long time of playing and wearing, just like a butterfly through the struggle of the chrysalis, the jade gradually shed the rough crust, restored the spirituality, moisturization, color, brilliant brilliance bloomed in the palm of the palm, the sense of achievement is irreplaceable. ”

Qin Xuebing said with a smile: "Girl, are you interested, if you plate it for a few years, this piece of jade will shine again, and it will be a treasure when the time comes." ”

"But brother, you don't collect it?" Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, after listening to Qin Xuebing's words, she also realized that this piece of jade was very valuable.

"It was originally picked for you, but I have to tell you one thing first, most of the ancient jade unearthed is a burial item, and this one is no exception." Qin Xuebing doesn't know if Qin Xiaoxiao is taboo or not, so it's better to make it clear.

"Grandpa told me that after my father's operation, he let me apprentice to Qimen, so he doesn't care about this."

Qin Xiaoxiao accepted it happily, and asked again, "But brother, how do you want to make jade?" ”

"I don't understand either, I'll go back and ask Boss Qian, he should know." Qin Xuebing only knew about the jade, but he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what to pay attention to.

"If you go shopping again, you can't be sloppy in picking a gift for your uncle." Qin Xuebing still has a headache, there are not many old objects in Panjiayuan, before going to the underground ghost market, he didn't see old objects on the stall in Panjiayuan for several days, and he ran into one when he went out this time, which was already very lucky.

However, Qin Xuebing's luck today is indeed good, as soon as he walked out of a few dozen meters, his vitality was once again induced, but he was dumbfounded when he walked over, it turned out to be a pile of copper coins.

In the antique market, there are many copper coins, and there are many genuine products, but because there are too many, many copper coins are de-market value. Therefore, Qin Xuebing also loves and hates the copper coin, and his love is because of the precious copper coins, especially the fifty treasures; Hate because the vitality induction is useless, and when you encounter a pile of copper coins, you have to pick them one by one.

"Do you want to pack it up?" Qin Xuebing started his mind, the plan to collect fifty treasures has been delayed, and it is rare to think about it today, and it is time to take action.

But he felt that it was a bit unreliable to pan for copper coins in Panjiayuan, first of all, the stall owners were very shrewd, and maybe they had already screened them. Secondly, there are people coming and going here, and every day a group of ancient coin enthusiasts come to the stall, this pile of copper coins may have been mined countless times, and if you buy it back, the chance of missing it is almost zero.
