Chapter 179: Inscription
If you want to talk about obstacles, in fact, there are all kinds of ages.
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, not to mention the buying and selling of bronzes, that is, the buying and selling of coins, calligraphy and paintings, and the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties were all reselling cultural relics, but there were people who dared to buy them.
Jin San firmly believes that the bronzes that have been exiled to the people will sooner or later obtain legal status, and there are not a few people who have the same beliefs as him.
In recent years, China Guardian and Yanjing Poly have been shooting bronzes.
In the overseas bronze trading market, there are often some owners of large domestic auction houses, who have been quietly buying bronzes since a few years ago, so although this bronze ban is a fake, he will not sell it cheaply.
The bronze market will open sooner or later, if you don't buy it now, the auction policy of bronzes will really be liberalized in the future, and there may not even be a supply of goods.
The number of bronzes is incomparable with ancient calligraphy, painting, and ceramics, and it is one less to buy one.
And the bronze ban in Jin San's hand is an authentic fake, he only made it so real, just to impact the foreign market.
As for whether he went around and returned to China, it was not something he could manage, but Jin San thought it was impossible recently.
The price of foreign countries itself is inflated, what are those foreigners buying bronzes for?
It is undeniable that there are those who like bronzes simply for collection, but the vast majority of them are sold at a price and want to speculate on bronzes.
In this way, they will definitely have to wait for a while to buy it at a high price, and only when the bronze is fried to another high position will it be possible to sell.
And by that time, it is difficult to say whether they will have any of the bronzes in their hands.
Therefore, Jin San is facing foreign markets, so he can only ask for high prices.
With a price of more than nine million US dollars, if Li Lin and the others wanted to make a move in China, almost no one would take over.
"Nine and a half million dollars? This price is too high, but I am optimistic about you, then these two bronzes are forbidden to me, I will ask people to transfer 9.5 million US dollars to you, and your bank card can be deposited in US dollars, right? Li Lin said.
Jin San said: "Of course you can, this new one I have is a dual currency card, but it doesn't seem to be 9.5 million, and the two bronze bans have to be multiplied by two." ”
"Multiply by two? Are you saying that a bronze ban will cost $9.5 million? It's too dark, isn't it? This is more than 110 million yuan, such a price really surprised Li Lin a little.
Zhou Jie was also obviously taken aback, this antique is really not played by ordinary people, just two ordinary copper tables, it costs more than 100 million yuan, this Jin San is really a god of wealth.
But this Zhou Jie also came for a purpose, of course he didn't care about 100 million yuan: "You Li Lin don't want it, I want it, isn't it just more than 100 million yuan?" I'll have someone transfer money to you. ”
"Huh? What's going on? Didn't you say there was going to be a fight just now? Why is there nothing going on now? Hou Zhong followed Tie Cheng into Jin San's courtyard.
"It's okay, the guests are here, right?" Jin Sandao.
Hou Zhongdao: "It's almost here, I've already arranged it, and I can be seated in a while." ”
"Here, this is my bank card, you think clearly, whoever wants it, just send me money, but our transaction this time must be in accordance with the formal channels, Hou Zhong, you call a lawyer to draw up a contract, which must be clearly written, this bronze ban is a high imitation, the price is 9.5 million US dollars, and only after signing the contract can you take away this bronze ban." Jin San explained directly to Hou Zhong.
It's not okay not to sign a contract, this Li Lin and Zhou Jie are not good at stubble, if the handle of buying and selling bronzes privately falls into their hands, then Jin San will have to make sacrifices in the future.
As soon as Zhou Jie listened to Jin San's words, this was to fill all the loopholes.
The reason why he doesn't care is that he wants to take a handful of Jin San, and now he is buying a high imitation, so what reason does he have to embarrass Jin San in the future?
"Love or not, I sold it like this, these two bronze bans have my signature on them, made by Jinsan, they are high imitations, I will make it clear first, you have to smash them in your hands, don't blame me in the future." Jin Sandao.
Li Lin had long known that Jin San was not good, so he hesitated about the price of nine and a half million US dollars, and now he expected it.
Li Lin thought for a while and said: "This is not unacceptable, but the price of your bronze ban should be lowered, and you yourself should be sold as a high imitation, so you must leave us some profits." ”
At this time, Tao Dayou saw that there was nothing to do, and he also picked it out and said: "Big boss, not to mention the unique shape of the world, there are always eight inscriptions on it!" Now although your bronze ban is also rare, you can't have the same price as Tianquan, right? ”
"Then I'll give you some points, you know, one inscription is 30,000 yuan, eight inscriptions, then give you 240,000, make up a whole number, each bronze is forbidden to go 300,000, two 600,000 yuan, this is not a dollar is a yuan, this is enough fun, right?"
Tao Dayou said with a wry smile: "This account is not so calculated, people have a few inscriptions, but they show their noble status, this has an inscription and no inscription, it is really not a price." ”
"Don't give me nonsense, do you say that this bronze ban is affordable for poor people? In ancient times, copper was equal to gold, and you don't tell me you don't know. "Jin Sandao.
Tao Lin gritted his teeth and said: "The problem is, no one can prove it to you now, this is a high imitation." ”
When Tao Da heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's really a problem, we have to carefully identify it if we want to buy it." ”
Jin San said: "Don't pull it, do you have to let you pull this thing to the laboratory and test it comprehensively before you can sell it?" Who have you ever seen that go so hard to sell? ”
"You're going to have to give us some faith, aren't you?" Li Lin spoke up at this time.
Jin San said: "Then I'll give you another hint, see?" That piece of pattern is actually an inscription, a rare kind of inscription, it is the identity of this bronze ban. ”
No one robbed Tao Lin of this, and he was the only expert here, so Tao Lin first stepped forward and carefully observed some other ornaments: "How can this be an inscription?" ”
"Combine a few ornaments and see what you find?" Jin San reminded again.
Tao Lin's inscription skills are indeed not weak, and after he looked at it for a few minutes, he said: "This is, Taigong Zuowu King destroyed Shang and sealed it in Qi?" ”
"Haha, good skills, how's that? These words I made are good, aren't they? After you buy it, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price. Jin San told the truth, but no one believed it.
Of course, Jin San is not made up out of thin air, and this kind of separate inscription, although rare, is not nothing.
And these words, he has also seen them, but they do not appear on the bronze ban, but also on other ritual weapons.
These words turned out to be on another copper tripod, and Jin San had seen the inscription of these words from the memory of the eggshell pottery goblet in his hand.
It should be a sacrificial vessel, but Jin San had never heard of that sacrificial vessel, he searched for a lot of information, but he didn't find it, it should have been lost in the endless river of time.
"Is there really an inscription?" Tao Dayou's eyes almost bulged out.
"It's genuine, it's still ten inscriptions, so are you going to add money to me instead?" Jin San said mockingly.
Li Lin said: "Forget it, it's all small money." ”
At this time, Tao Lin had already run to another bronze ban, and he muttered to himself: "East to the sea, west to the Yellow River, south to Muling, north to Wudi, this is the territory of the Qi Kingdom." ”
"Li Lin, remember to add money, this is another twelve inscriptions, a total of 420,000 increases, remember to transfer one piece to me." Jin San said with a grin.
Shandong, the land of Qilu in ancient times, began to have this title in the pre-Qin era.
Before the establishment of the Shang Dynasty in the pre-Qin era, the eastern and western parts of Shan were the centers of activity of the Shang tribes and one of the central areas of the Shang Dynasty.
To the eastern part of Shandong, the Dongyi people who had not been Huaxia were ruled by the Shang Dynasty through their allies such as the Xian State and the Bogu State.
After the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Shang was sealed in Qi because of his meritorious service in destroying the Shang, and the capital city Yingqiu was located in Dongying Village, Wangcun Township, Wolong District, Nanyang City, Henan Province, Jiang Ziya was born in Dongying Village.
After Jiang Shang stabilized the political situation in Qi State, he began to reform the political system again.
He conformed to the local customs, simplified the red tape of the Zhou Dynasty, vigorously developed commerce, and let the people enjoy the benefits of fish and salt.
As a result, many people from all over the world came to Qi State, and Qi Country became one of the rich countries at that time.
When King Zhou became king, Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai rebelled, and the ethnic minorities in the Huai River valley also took the opportunity to rebel, and the king of Zhou ordered Jiang Shang to say: "East to the sea, west to the Yellow River, south to Muling, north to Wudi, whether it is the Hou Wang or Bonan, if you do not obey, you have the right to conquer them." ”
Since then, Qi has become a great power, and its territory is vast, making it one of the "Five Hegemons" and the "Seven Heroes" of the Warring States Period.
And this other bronze ban obviously verifies this history, such a bronze ban, if it is genuine, how should the value be calculated?
Surely it is no less than the Republican Ding, right?
Only Kim San was snickering on the side.
Bronze counterfeiting, he has studied and understood, the most commonly used is the antique method, the counterfeiter generally has a book, or according to the real artifact, or according to the catalogue, the shape of the imitation is basically similar to the real artifact, and the size of the size is similar to the real artifact.
Imitations are generally more accurate, and it is difficult to judge the authenticity if you do not observe carefully.
However, no matter how accurate and realistic the imitation is, its copper and patterns are different from the real thing, and the style is also very different.
At the same time, the imitation is heavier than the real thing, and it has a pressure feel, which is a universal law.
But if the style, copper, and pattern are the same as in ancient times, then modern experts can't tell the difference, and this is the strength of Jin San.
There are various methods of bronze counterfeiting, such as patchwork method, transformation method, flower method, flower digging method, inscription method, inscription filling method, and corrosion method.
A piece of bronze forbidden, Jin San from the oxidation time, texture, tin composition, copper color, sound, earth smell, inscription font strokes, copper, pattern, style, and so on, have put enough effort.
The imitation weapon is heavier than the real thing, so it has a feeling of pressure, and even such a flaw has been erased by Jin San's use of the time ability, so can anyone still see that he is fake?
