Chapter 161: The Charm of Collection
"Mingluo, how is it, is this cup real or fake?" When Zhou Ming felt sorry in his heart, Ye Long smiled and spoke, looking like he didn't care, it seemed that he didn't care if this Triangle Cup was real or not, he just happened to pull Zhou Mingluo over to pass the boring time.
With these words, Zhou Mingluo played with the cup and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, this cup should be real, it is the white glaze of the Ming Jiajing and the Lotus Cup." ”
"Huh? Is it really true? Ye Long was stunned for a moment, his original indifferent attitude was swept away, and he said with some interest, "Then if it's true, how much is he worth?" ”
"The intact Jiajing white glaze cup has a market price of about 400,000." Zhou Mingluo suddenly laughed again, this is basically a favorite question that ordinary people like to ask after discovering that they have antiques in their hands.
In a word, Ye Long's whole person stayed there in an instant, his mouth swelled even more, and he looked at the cup in Zhou Mingluo's hand, and he was stunned for more than ten seconds before he suddenly closed his mouth, "What did you say?" No way? Can this broken cup be worth 400,000? Rub, just kidding! ”
Ye Long is really dizzy, there have been a few suspected antiques at home, and no one in their family knows the authenticity of these things, and they don't even bother to find someone to appreciate them, let alone who to look for to appreciate, after all, Helan County is only a small county, and there are few people who play collections, even if he meets Zhou Mingluo today, he just pulled him over on a whim after knowing that the other party was in this business, and it was just a sudden encounter between old classmates, and there was just one more topic for chatting.
But he didn't expect that this broken cup, which he had never really cared about, was worth 400,000 yuan??
It's an international joke.
You must know that Ye Long's family is not rich, and he is still facing a job after graduating from college, it is a time of great pressure, and now he suddenly finds that a broken cup turned out from home is hundreds of thousands, which is enough for him to start a small business, how can he not be shocked.
Lian Zhu, who was extremely shocked, asked a few words, and Ye Long stepped forward suddenly, almost standing next to Zhou Mingluo, "Mingluo, don't fool me, what you just said is true?" ”
He still couldn't believe the cup was worth so much.
After all, although it is now the era of national collecting, it does not mean that everyone understands the depth of antiques.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Zhou Mingluo immediately shook his head speechlessly, "Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet, I'm talking about the intact Jiajing White Glaze Cup, but you have a broken foot, although the damage is not big, but the value has shrunk a lot, and now it should be around 350,000." ”
The damage to this cup is really not big, and there is only one place, otherwise the value will plummet exponentially.
"Huh? Wouldn't it, just wipe that point, and you'll lose 50,000?? As soon as he heard this, Ye Long was suddenly shocked again, and then looked at the cup with a collapsed face, Nima isn't it, the damage to this cup is really small and pitiful, if you don't observe it carefully, you might ignore it, but I didn't expect that just that little damage would make it less than 50,000 yuan?
How many recent college graduates can earn an annual salary of 50,000 yuan? You must know that he is just an ordinary second graduate, and his major is extremely ordinary, and he is now worried about how to find a job with a monthly salary of two or three thousand, but he didn't expect this thing to work for an extra year if it is scratched a little?
Zhou Mingluo shook his head again, he didn't know how to persuade at all, but it was only a few breaths, and the collapse of Ye Long's face instantly turned brilliant again, "Even if it is less than 50,000, it can be worth 350,000, rub, make a fortune!" ”
The next moment, when Zhou Mingluo handed the cup back, this one changed from the casual appearance of holding the cup at the beginning, but became like caring for his most precious treasure, carefully picked it up, turned around and put it on the table in the living room, until he put down the cup, Ye Long said excitedly, "Haha, it's really right to invite you today, three hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred and fifty thousand!" ”
Reading the number of 350,000 in pieces, Ye Long's face was also full of eyebrows, and then he ran to the bedroom with a snort, "Mingluo, wait for me, I still have it at home, rub, it turns out that antiques are so valuable, which wiped out that cup, and wiped 50,000 yuan in one fell swoop!" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Mingluo also sighed in his heart, I am afraid that after today, there will be another guy in China who loves to collect, which is one of the charms of collecting.
Of course, that's not all the charm, some people like to collect, they are intoxicated by the human history contained in antiques, and some people are obsessed with their artistic value, but it is undeniable that they are more intoxicated with the fun of suddenly finding themselves in the treasure.
With emotion, after a moment again, Ye Long carefully walked out with a piece of porcelain and handed it over to Zhou Mingluo.
At a glance, Zhou Mingluo found that the shape of this porcelain was a glaze red entwined flower pattern military holder, just like a teapot with a handle and no lid.
But it's a pity that this military holding is a copy, it should be an imitation of the Ming Hongwu flower pattern military holder, but it is extremely rough imitation, because it has obvious traces of Qing Dynasty style.
"How? How about this thing? Ye Long didn't know whether it was true or not, he just looked at Zhou Mingluo with bright eyes, as if he was waiting for him to continue to say that this was still true, and it was worth hundreds of thousands.
"This is a new product, it should be imitated by Ming Hongwu in the Qing Dynasty, it looks like it is also a folk kiln, the workmanship is rough, and it has no value." Zhou Mingluo shook his head decisively.
Ye Long's face also instantly became disappointed, but then he immediately took out another copper coin from his arms, "Help me take a look at this, look at this." ”
The copper coin is roughly four or five centimeters in diameter, which is very large, and it is also rusty, engraved with four big characters of "Zhizheng Tongbao" on one side, and "ten" in Mongolian on the back.
Zhou Mingluo then smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not good at ancient coins, I can still talk about porcelain, but there are very few ancient coins I can judge, but there is one thing, even if this Yuan Dynasty's [Zhizheng Tongbao] is real, it will not exceed five hundred yuan, and you have preserved it too poorly." ”
"Dizzy!" Ye Long was stunned on the spot, even if Nima was real, it wasn't worth five hundred yuan? Maybe before the white glaze cup, he was already very excited that a broken copper coin could be worth five hundred, but now, this has naturally become a big disappointment, not afraid of not knowing the goods, just afraid of comparing goods.
"It's okay, I still have it, wait for me." After a delay, he immediately turned around and ran to the bedroom, and then in just half an hour, this guy took out one antiquity after another from it and asked Zhou Mingluo to identify them one by one, but the result was basically wiped out.
When all the things that can be taken out are really identified, there is still only one white glaze cup that is worth a lot of money, which makes Ye Long full of hope again and again, and disappointed again and again.
"You are content, you have finally gained more than 300,000 yuan, looking at your original attitude towards that cup, this is equivalent to picking it up for nothing." Seeing that this guy almost jumped to his feet and scolded in the end, Zhou Mingluo joked with a smile.
Playing antiques, but it is the most taboo frivolous and impatient, and now a series of blows will only be a good thing for Ye Long, a newcomer, otherwise, if he thinks that he can hit the treasure every time, maybe he will be extremely enthusiastic and load it headlong, and in the end, he will be pitted with nothing left, but now he is mostly disappointed, just enough to pour cold water, which can make him see the depth of this line more rationally.
"Heh, that's what I said, I picked up more than 300,000 yuan for nothing, and it's already worth it." Ye Long regained a little bit of vigor at this time, although he still looked a little lonely, but after his eyes fell on the Triangle Cup, he completely relaxed.
"By the way, I can't read this book, but the things on it are quite interesting, if you don't mind, go back and print out the contents of the book and send me a copy." It was also at this time that Zhou Mingluo smiled and raised the wild talk, which was just made of very ordinary paper, and there were many damages, and some pages were missing or some parts of the font were blurry and couldn't be seen clearly, it was really not a treasure, but he was very, very interested in the things recorded on it.
"Don't, aren't you disgusting me, you can't tell whether this thing is real or fake, since you're interested, just take the book away, what is printed or not." Ye Long paused for a moment, then turned around and smiled.
He really didn't care about this broken book.
"Well, I just can't see the depth of this book, and I'm not sure it's a treasure, so give me a print or scan of it." Zhou Mingluo suddenly waved his hand, after all, the other side was an old classmate, even if it was really a leak, he would not be embarrassed to pick it up.
"I'll explain it, don't disgust me, just take it, this book is definitely not an antique, so ordinary paper, how many years can it be kept? It's still in tatters. Ye Long is not stupid, but understands that books copied on ordinary paper cannot be kept for too long like porcelain, furniture, etc., and it is still dilapidated, and the things recorded are also ridiculous, because of Zhou Mingluo's relationship, he only picked up such a big leak, and now he will naturally not be stingy with such a broken book.
After laughing again, no matter what, Zhou Mingluo had to accept the book, and he kept pushing it for a long time, and finally stuffed the wild talk into Zhou Mingluo's arms, this person was like winning a battle, and he raised a victory gesture very proudly, but he also saw Zhou Mingluo laughing.
"Then thank you......" Since he couldn't push it off, Zhou Mingluo could only open his mouth to thank him, but he didn't think that as soon as he finished saying this, Ye Long immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Mingluo's shoulder, "Let's go, drink, wipe, I picked up more than 300,000 yuan for nothing, I must celebrate." ”
In a word, Zhou Mingluo directly had a big head, and waved his hand again and again to say that he had drunk too much recently, and it was not easy to get Ye Long, and then he said with a dissatisfied face, "You are not kind, you don't come to this kind of thing, forget it, if you don't come, I will invite others." But you owe me a meal, and I'll have to ask you for it next time. ”
"No problem, next time I'll please, then you call someone else, I'll go back first." Zhou Ming took a sip and agreed, let's talk about it next time, he can't drink it anymore today.
