Chapter 0217 Take 1.5 million to soak in wine
In fact, at the beginning, Liu Yuhao saw that the old man was observing the techniques and methods of the rhinoceros horn cup, and he already knew that this old man was definitely not that kind of mediocre thing, at least he knew rhinoceros horn.
But later, the old man told the origin of the rhinoceros horn cup and the author's name in one bite, and Liu Yuhao's mood could not be expressed without shock.
He was able to know in such a short period of time through the technique of Bajin ability, but this old man could be identified in a few minutes just by his own eyesight, and he had to be a Although this old man's character is not very good, his ability to identify antiques is beyond Liu Yuhao's reach.
Inadvertently able to this rhino horn cup, Liu Yuhao is still very happy, the rhino horn cup is the most famous and the most expressive form of creation in the rhino horn carving artwork, has always been sought after by people, known as the treasure in the ancient artifacts.
The heyday of rhino horn cup carving is the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is the era when Liu Yuhao's hand is safe and sound, and the plain cup appears, which is enough to see the preciousness of this rhino horn cup.
Not long ago, at Sotheby's Autumn Auction in New York, there was a very surprising event that the highest price in that sale was not occupied by porcelain as in the past.
The first place in the auction was a Qing Kangxi boat-shaped rhino horn wine glass, which was finally sold for more than 2 million US dollars.
The shape of the rhino horn cup is relatively rare, and its whole boat shape is very rare in the carving of the rhino horn cup, and the carver skillfully uses the material of the rhino horn, showing the characteristics of twisting and vigorous trunks, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, which is comparable to the safe and quiet plain cup obtained by Liu Yuhao.
How do you know this is a rhinoceros horn and not a buffalo or some other horn, old man?
Although Mao Zhou has always been honest and honest, everyone has curiosity, and after listening to the old man's words, Mao Zhou leaned over, picked up the rhino horn cup, and squinted at it.
Hehe, such a friend. The old man pouted disdainfully, but for the sake of Liu Yuhao's face, he still reluctantly got up.
Another distinguishing feature of rhino horns from other horns is that the longitudinal lines of rhino horns are always straight and parallel to each other, and even if they crack due to age, they do not have the same cross-network as other horns.
Although the cross-section of rhinoceros horn has growth rings, because the longitudinal fiber patterns are parallel to each other, the phenomenon reflected in the cross-section is that for sub-rhinos, it is called caviar; For non-rhinos, they are called sugarcane patterns, and insiders are collectively called caviar, while other horns do not have this characteristic.
Although the old man's disdain was very secret and short-lived, it was still captured by Liu Yuhao's sharp eyes, and the trace of good feelings that had just risen in Liu Yuhao's heart for the old man instantly drifted away.
Brother Mao, in fact, is not all such a scalper or buffalo horn, the best is a wide angle, steam it with brown sugar, and then use other methods to simply make it old, so that he looks as if there is a pulp, and then cover the bottom with a horseshoe that has done hands and feet.
Liu Yuhao lightly expressed his dissatisfaction with the old man, and after finishing speaking, he was reluctant to raise his eyelids.
The exception is the Asian rhinoceros, which does not have honeycomb holes and can only be identified by smell and other characteristics.
The old man seemed to have unintentionally said a sentence, but anyone with a discerning eye could understand that this was the old man refuting Liu Yuhao's words just now.
I don't understand, I still don't understand after listening to it for a long time, Brother Liu, let's hurry up.
Mao Zhou was puzzled by these two people, and the second monk touched the back of his head, smiled and put the rhino horn cup into the bag where he took the money just now, and stood up.
Friend, you like this rhino horn cup very much, I wonder if you can cut it?
The old man saw Liu Yuhao and them leaving, with a trace of unnatural look in his eyes, his eyes looked at Mao Zhou erratically, and then turned to look at Liu Yuhao, who had just been retained because of his words, and now that they proposed to go again, it must not be able to stay.
Why don't you sell it, in fact, they are just antique dealers who go south and north, and if they have profits, they will definitely sell.
The old man really smiled, and the horse pretended to be surprised, looking at the old man's feet under the table, but quietly stepped on Mao Zhou's feet.
After Mao Zhou got Liu Yuhao's hint, although he was very puzzled, he was still very cooperative, and said with a smile: If you want to buy this object, then it depends on whether the price you offer is suitable or not.
Liu Yuhao almost couldn't hold back his laughter, this big brother Mao is too capable of pretending to be himself, but he was afraid that he would leak his mouth, so he hinted at it, how do you know that Mao Zhouneng understood his meaning in an instant, and he was very cooperative with himself to play a double reed.
Hey, how much did you just buy this rhino horn cup?
It's really good, the scar forgot the pain, the man didn't remember how the little soldier was to himself just now, he was used to raising his chin and smugly at Liu Yuhao, in his opinion, the world is busy, everything is for profit, Lao Tzu is rich, are you afraid that you can't buy things.
It's a pity that the pride is only a matter of moments, and when the man's eyes meet the little warrior, the horse retracts his neck like a frightened king, and then it is only then that it is thought that the people around him are all carrying guns, or serious people in military uniforms, it is better not to offend.
I don't know how heavy things to get out of the way.
The old man glared at the man and said: Since people got this rhino horn cup one step ahead of us, no matter whether they picked it up or were lucky, anyway, the object is already someone else's, and then ask how much it costs to buy it, is it necessary?
This sentence seems to be the old man's lesson to his nephew, but in fact, he is not showing favor to Liu Yuhao and them.
Although the old man has not inquired about Liu Yuhao's origin, he had already seen the warrior military vehicle outside before entering the door, and the little soldier's eyes were angry that anyone could understand, and the old man judged that the young man's way of coming must not be as simple as his A's antique dealer.
Over the years, there have often been some people's behaviors that make others unbelievable, such as A, some people are obviously from very good families, but they have been pretending to be poor outside, and some people are the children of high-powered big clans, but they always look like a small deflated three, and the old man suspects that Liu Yuhao is one of those people.
If Liu Yuhao knew that the old man was looking at himself like this in his heart now, he couldn't smile straight, what did it matter, buddy, he just wanted to sell the broken rhino horn cup to the man who didn't know the height of the sky.
Although it was true that the plain light cup was safe and sound, Liu Yuhao also found that the rhino horn cup had already been broken into two by external forces when he saw it with the Eight Brocade Ability Technique.
However, the person who repaired the rhino horn cup is an absolute master, and he processed some patterns in the repaired cracks, and the lines of each pattern were carried out along the cracks, so everyone appreciated the grace and luxury of the rhino horn cup, but did not notice this flaw in the rhino horn cup.
How about 500,000 friends? Are you still satisfied with the price? The old man thought for a while and finally made a decision.
Liu Yuhao smiled and said nothing.
At this time, it is actually the time for buyers and sellers to compare their concentration, and whoever has the higher concentration will win the final victory.
800,000! The old man gritted his teeth and raised the price by 300,000 at once this time.
Liu Yuhao still smiled and said nothing.
The old man has a look, this is Liu Yuhao's first feeling, before this, Liu Yuhao already had a preliminary estimate, he is ready to sell this broken rhino horn cup to this old man at a price of one million, so that he can get a big lesson, who makes your nephew the director.
One and a half million!
The old man's forehead began to sweat, and as his blood pressure rose, the old man's chest also kept rising and falling, and it could be seen that he was very emotional now.
Liu Yuhao still smiled and said nothing.
In fact, this will have been Liu Yuhao's turn, he was surprised, the uncle of a small public security chief can have such a big courage, and it is already clear that he can spend so much money to buy such a rhino horn cup, and now Liu Yuhao tries his best to make his expression more natural, he wants to know how much money this old man can get in the end.
The difference with Liu Yuhao's inner surprise is Mao Zhou's facial expression, when the old man came out of 800,000, Mao Zhou almost wanted to help Liu Yuhao make a decision, and quickly sold the rhino horn cup.
Didn't you buy this rhino horn cup for 10,000 yuan? Now that it has changed hands for half an hour, it has already earned eighty times, and there is such a fool in the world who will take money and use it inappropriately, Mao Zhou is really eye-opening.
What really made Mao Zhou almost uncontrollable was that after Liu Yuhao's indifferent smile, the old man almost doubled the price at one time, and offered a price of 1.5 million.
Mother, it seems that the first half of my life has been in vain.
Who are these people, Mao Zhou covered his face with his hands, and had a feeling that he wanted to yell loudly, if the cup was given to Mao Zhou, he believed that Mao Zhou himself would not take it seriously.
Mao Zhou thought about it carefully, if someone else gave it to him, it might be the best to throw it directly in the corner, it is very likely that after he knew that the cup was made of rhinoceros horn, this cup would be broken by his own feet, soaked in wine, and it would be uncertain to drink it.
Take 1.5 million to make wine, hehe, maybe this idea can only be spoofed by Mao Zhou.
Million!
The old man slapped the table hard, stood up, stared at Liu Yuhao with wide eyes, and almost said his bottom line in a roaring voice.
