Chapter 122: Practice the stall
Generally, people in antique shops help people to see things with their palms, and they will not say that they are dead, even if the object is fake, they will only say that they are not very optimistic or that the age is a little uncertain.
Such words may feel that there is still hope in the ears of the layman, but as long as you are a little familiar with antiques, you will know that this thing must be fake, and others have not said it, it is to save face for you.
"Elder Wu, you ...... You read that right? ”
Mr. Zhao's voice rang out in the crowd, this blue and white porcelain bottle was bought by him for 120,000 yuan, and he found a few people to see it and said it was true, and there was even an "expert" in Tianjin. "A certificate was issued to him.
If it weren't for someone to see it, Mr. Zhao wouldn't have brought it here, which is a shame for the players in front of the whole Beijing city, but he didn't dare to speak ill of Wu Lao, who was a leading figure in the domestic porcelain identification industry.
"What's the matter? Don't believe my old man's words? ”
Wu Lao, who was sitting behind the table, originally saved face for Mr. Zhao, but he didn't expect this person to know what to do, and said at the moment: "Your thing was burned in Henan, and Panjiayuan has a lot of it, you can buy it for thirty or fifty yuan, and you can bring it to you if you want a car......"
Wu Lao's words made the onlookers laugh louder and louder, and Mr. Zhao's fair face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and he hurriedly took his porcelain from the table and walked directly outside the exhibition hall, but he didn't even participate in this event.
"This old Zhao, the level is not much higher than me, and now he is embarrassed?"
Seeing that Lao Zhao, who had just mocked him, left with a pale face, Wei Hongjun gloated and laughed, feeling that he had not come in vain today, even if he couldn't get anything good, he also counted out a sulk in his chest.
"This painting of Zhang Daqian is real, and it was painted by him in his later years, not bad......"
"The genuine Xuande furnace is forged thousands of times, and your object is directly poured out of molten iron......"
"This thing is good, the enamel color of Kangxi is also in good condition, it is worth collecting......"
After Mr. Zhao left, the appraisal activities continued, but the antiques identified were also real and fake, which caused laughter or admiration from the onlookers from time to time.
If you want to say that the collectors in Beijing City, the background is still very deep, basically six or seven of the ten objects can be real, and there is no shortage of fine products, there is an anonymous ancient painting of the Song Dynasty, and even the old researcher of the Palace Museum is full of appreciation.
However, although many good things were identified, there was nothing to be handed over to the organizer for auction, which made the foreigner auctioneer wearing an auction uniform and holding a small hammer very bored to sit at the auction table.
You must know that in the mid-90s, the method of antique auction was not yet popular in China.
These bosses or collectors from Sijiu City still prefer to communicate in circles, and most of the antiques that have been identified as genuine are placed in some empty glass booths.
And beside the various glass booths, there are also a lot of people around, some of them are purely appreciative, and some are interested in buying, and the owners of antiques are pulling the price there.
After Ye Tian walked around a few booths, he asked Wei Hongjun, "Uncle Wei, can anyone want this glass booth?" ”
Wei Hongjun nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes, as long as you are invited, you can apply for a key to a booth......
"Uncle Wei, didn't you bring anything with you today?" Ye Tian's eyes lit up.
"No? What's wrong? ”
Wei Hongjun was a little puzzled by Ye Tian's words, the things he collected in his house were all fake, but the rest were a little out of his hands.
"Ahem......"
Ye Tian coughed and said, "Uncle Wei, since you don't trade things, help me get a booth......
"What are you going to sell? That big Qi Tongbao? ”
Wei Hongjun was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced, if Ye Tian can take out the "Great Qi Tongbao" today, it will definitely cause a sensation in the audience, although it is not his Wei Hongjun's, but he can show his face.
"Don't mind, Uncle Wei, your voice is quieter......"
Ye Tian found that after Wei Hongjun shouted out the words Daqi Tongbao, he immediately looked at several pairs of eyes, and hurriedly made a boo gesture, and then said: "Uncle Wei, it's not Daqi Tongbao, it's a piece of jade given by the elders in the family......"
The old way of "Great Qi Tongbao" left to Ye Tian has been with Ye Tian for almost ten years, and its significance is extraordinary, no matter what the circumstances, Ye Tian will not sell it for money.
"Jade, this thing is worthless......"
Hearing that Ye Tian was not going to take out the "Great Qi Tongbao", Wei Hongjun was a little disappointed, but still said: "You wait, I'll go and ask you for a booth to ......"
Today's event was organized by the foreign auction agency in order to get married to this group of big-money collectors in Sijiu City, and Wei Hongjun didn't go back in the past, so he took a key and walked back.
"Ye Tian, that's the booth, by the way, what kind of jade are you?" Wei Hongjun was not very interested in jade, and only remembered this stubble after helping Ye Tian get off the booth.
Ye Tian smiled, took out a piece of jade from his pocket, handed it to Wei Hongjun, and said: "Uncle Wei, this is a jade gourd, the material is not bad, I will learn from you to set up a stall in Panjiayuan today, don't seek to make money, just want to play......"
The jade gourd that Ye Tian took out was only a little bigger than his thumb, and the whole body was yellow, and it was carved from authentic Hetian seed jade, not to mention anything else, this jade quality already belonged to the best in seed jade.
"Hey, Xiaotian, your piece of material is good, pure Hetian seed jade......" After seeing the jade gourd that Wei Hongjun was playing with in his hand, Liu Wei'an looked at Ye Tian in surprise.
Hearing Liu Wei'an's words, Wei Hongjun asked with some puzzlement: "Brother Liu, isn't this Hetian mutton fat white jade?" ”
"Hehe, Brother Wei, mutton fat white jade is only one of Hetian jade, and Hetian jade itself has a saying that there is one red, two yellow and three mutton fat, which does not necessarily have to be white......"
Liu Wei'an took the jade gourd in Wei Hongjun's hand, and then said: "In ancient times, our Chinese took yellow as the honor, so Hetian topaz is also very precious, Xiaotian's material is good, but it ......."
After carefully playing with this topaz gourd, Liu Wei'an showed a hesitant look on his face, and Ai Ai did not continue to comment.
Hearing that Liu Wei'an was only halfway there, Wei Hongjun couldn't help urging: "But what? Brother, you're done......"
"Ahem......"
Liu Wei'an coughed, turned his face to look at Ye Tian, and said, "Xiaotian, I don't know where your jade came from, if my uncle is wrong, don't take it to heart......"
"Uncle, you say, I know, haha......" Ye Tian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"You know I'm talking about carvers, right?"
Liu Wei'an also laughed and explained to Wei Hongjun: "Brother Wei, this jade is a good jade, if it is a piece of seed material, I am afraid it can be sold for two or three thousand yuan, but this carver is a little worse, it can be regarded as a good jade ......."
Liu Wei'an is a humil man, but looking at the poor carving of this piece of good jade, he also showed a look of regret on his face.
"It's worth two or three thousand dollars? Yes, Ye Tian, you can put it inside, just treat it as pocket money, and see if no one buys it......"
After hearing Liu Wei'an's offer, Wei Hongjun suddenly lost interest, and with his net worth, he was digging for thousands of yuan, which was called a loss.
But no one knew that just ten years later, the price of Hetian jade rose wildly, and the price of one gram was even several times that of gold.
Of course, at this time, the price of jade, including jadeite, is not very high, a pair of Hetian jade or high ice jade jade bracelets, that is, the appearance of eight hundred yuan, in addition to the value of ancient jade, these new jade have not received much attention.
Seeing that Liu Wei'an said to the jade gourd that Ye Tian took out, Wei Hongjun also gained a little confidence, pointed to a booth more than ten meters away, and said, "Brother Liu, do you know anything about porcelain?" Let's go over there......"
Wei Hongjun likes to collect porcelain, this thing can be put out, and it looks generous, Ye Tian wants to set up a stall to play, let him play, but Boss Wei wants to exchange a few genuine objects to take home.
"Ye Tian, what about you?" Liu Wei'an glanced at Ye Tian, he was afraid that Ye Tian was young, so he wouldn't be fooled.
Ye Tian smiled and said nonchalantly: "Little brother-in-law, you and Uncle Wei go, I will learn from you to practice in Panjiayuan......"
"Okay, then my uncle went, I'll tell you, although the carving of this gourd is a little worse, but you don't have a thousand yuan, you don't sell it, and my uncle can sell it at this price if he gets Pan Jiayuan......" Liu Wei'an didn't forget to turn around and explain to Ye Tian as he walked.
"A thousand bucks? I won't sell it if I add a zero later......"
Ye Tian smiled and didn't speak, opened the glass of the booth next to him with the key, and after putting the gourd in the middle, he found that there were spotlights at the four corners of the glass cover, and they were all opened.
The white spotlight shone on the yellowed jade gourd, reflecting a slightly oily natural luster, which looked quite exquisite, but it covered up Ye Tian's clumsy knife work.
There are indeed a lot of people who come today, not only from the antique shop, but also from the boss who likes to be vassals like Wei Hongjun, and Ye Tian's jade gourd was placed in it for a while, and it also attracted a lot of people.
A middle-aged man in his forties asked Ye Tian after asking Ye Tian to take out the gourd and play with it, "Little brother, how much does your jade gourd sell for?" ”
"Hehe, this ...... I can't say well, uncle, how much is it worth? ”
Ye Tian's delicate face looked particularly immature at this moment, revealing a look that couldn't erase his face.
