Chapter 628: Peerless Beauty (Medium)

"What's the matter?" Yi Yang walked up and asked, he felt a little strange, this seemingly high-ranking Mr. Luo in front of him had nothing to talk about with him in his life?

Mr. Luo smiled and said, "I want to sue you for something." ”

At this moment, his tone and attitude are obviously much better, and he doesn't seem so arrogant, which is difficult to contact.

"What's the matter?" Yi Yang asked, a smile on his face, as if he was a little curious.

He really didn't know what the other party had to tell him, but it should have something to do with the antiques they bought at Mr. Zhang's house just now, otherwise there didn't seem to be any intersection between them except for this matter.

Mr. Luo said: "The porcelain you just bought is the Xuande plum vase, in fact, I also talked to Mr. Zhang before you came, and finally he pressed the price to 5,000 yuan, but I also refused, did not take it, now you have 20,000 men, Mr. Zhang is really making a lot of money, but just now in front of them, I can't say anything, seeing you lose 15,000, to be honest, I feel a little sorry in my heart, so I can't help but want to tell you about this." ”

Yi Yang smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "I know, but it's okay." The antique industry is different from other industries, it is often a one-shot deal, you can do it if you want to. For example, for the same piece of porcelain, some people pay tens of thousands, but some people are only willing to pay thousands, or even hundreds. ”

He didn't know whether Mr. Luo was out of kindness and told him the truth, or whether he came to ridicule him, but looking at the other party's expression, it didn't look like a mockery, as if he was sincerely confiding the truth to him.

"Brother Yi has this determination, I admire it." Mr. Luo nodded and praised, maybe he thought that Yi Yang would have a great reaction after hearing his words, and even burst into a rage, eager to run and return the things immediately, but who knew that he just smiled, as if nothing had happened, but instead said something that sounded very profound.

Then he said: "But in the end, you still lost a little, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang looked honest, and the asking price was quite ruthless, but he grew wise after eating a trench, and when he met this kind of seller in the future, he must press the price to the lowest, even if the other party does not agree, then you can talk again, there is no need to open such a high starting price, then there is no way out." ”

Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you for your construction, but it is relative whether you lose or not." Mr. Zhang said that his things were imitations of Xuande Min, so I would bid according to the market price, so it was fair and just, in fact, no one lost. ”

Mr. Luo said: "But that piece of folk melanas porcelain does not have any style, there is no convincing power, it is difficult to be recognized, the value of the collection has plummeted, it is reasonable to be much lower than the market price, not to mention 20,000, 5,000, that is, 1,000 to me, I have to consider it carefully, for fear that it will be a waste product and worthless!" ”

Yi Yang smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "That can only mean that you are lucky to meet an ignorant master." To be honest, I can take it for a few thousand dollars, but think about it, you can't be too ruthless, after all, the thing belongs to someone else, you have to stand in someone else's point of view, think about it for the other party, the bid is too low, others don't earn anything, and you will not be happy. When you make money again, let others earn a little, so that everyone will be happy and feel at ease. ”

"According to your meaning, you deliberately paid a high price of 20,000 yuan to buy that porcelain?" Mr. Luo's face changed.

"Pretty much." Yi Yang straightened his expression and nodded.

"Really?" Mr. Luo looked at him suspiciously and asked, "In other words, the blue and white plum vase you got in your hand was not worth the price, and you picked up a leak?" Huh, how is that possible? ”

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly, and the four people standing behind him also looked at each other, all showing strange smiles.

"Director Luo, that piece of porcelain doesn't even have a model, and the general folk imitation is not as good, how can it be worth 20,000?" One of the tall and thin men couldn't help but accost, "Although I haven't been in the antique shop for a long time, I still know this bit of common sense, and I can't deceive my eyes." ”

"Yes, it's just a shoddy imitation of a folk kiln, and there are many antique markets across the country, and a lot of them can be bought for hundreds of dollars, and those are still with standard models." Another slightly chubby young man also said.

Like Mr. Luo, they were very optimistic about the blue and white plum vase that Yi Yang Gang bought from Mr. Zhang at a large price.

"Nothing is impossible." Yi Yang replied, "It's still unknown who loses and who wins. But I can tell you that it was a blue and white porcelain from the Yongle period, not the Xuande period, and you all read it wrong, so it's normal to make a mistake. ”

"Blue and white porcelain from the Yongle period?" Mr. Luo's eyes widened slightly, and he said with a look of surprise in his eyes, "How come it is the Yongle period?" It is obviously the blue and white porcelain of the Xuande period, which is very consistent with the characteristics of Xuande blue and white porcelain. ”

Yi Yang said indifferently: "It can only mean that you don't know much about Yongle blue and white porcelain, and you have only been in contact with Xuande porcelain, and you preconceived that it is Xuande porcelain, but in fact it is a typical Yongle blue and white porcelain in the Yongle period." ”

"Yongle blue and white porcelain?" Mr. Luo blinked, as if he suddenly thought of something, and took a soft breath, "I really don't have much research on the porcelain of the Yongle period. ”

Yi Yang smiled and said, "That's no wonder." Yongle in the Ming Dynasty in the front, Xuande in the back, but there is only a difference between the two emperors Hongxi, but Renzong is a short-lived emperor, reigning for less than a year, in fact, Yongle to Xuande, is only less than 30 years of work, the two periods are very similar, and it is the same dynasty, so there are naturally many similarities in porcelain manufacturing. Therefore, it is understandable that you regard Yongle porcelain as Xuande porcelain. ”

"It shouldn't be." Mr. Luo still couldn't believe Yi Yang's words, and hurriedly said, "Brother Yi, can you take out that piece of porcelain and give me a good look at it?" Let's see if I'm wrong. Don't worry, I'm just curious, I want to take a look, I don't mean anything else, I will definitely not take away people's favor, besides, the thing has been bought by you, according to the ironclad rules of the industry, no matter how no one else can take it! ”

Yi Yang nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Yes, but it's inconvenient to stand here, right?" ”

Mr. Luo turned his head and looked around, pointed to a small restaurant diagonally opposite, and said: "This is in the middle of nowhere, and there is no decent place, if you don't dislike it, let's go to that small restaurant and sit down, I will invite you to have a light meal." ”

Yi Yang shook his head and said, "You don't need to eat, you can give you another look, so as not to make you unable to understand." ”

"Thank you then." Mr. Luo thanked him, and then he politely invited Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao to walk towards the restaurant, and it could be seen that he suddenly had a great interest in the blue and white porcelain in Yi Yang's hand.

Soon they arrived at the country restaurant, and as soon as they sat down, Mr. Luo hurriedly asked Yi Yang to take out the porcelain and show it to him.

Yi Yang didn't mean to refuse, and immediately took out the porcelain from the packed box and put it on the table for Mr. Luo to identify and see.

After the porcelain was laid out, Mr. Luo took out a delicate high-powered magnifying glass from his bag and examined it in detail.

After reading it, Mr. Luo raised his head and said: "This shape, this glaze, this ornament, it is obviously imitation of Xuande porcelain, and I still don't see anything unusual." ”

He seemed a little disappointed, feeling like he had been fooled by Yi Yang.

Yi Yang replied solemnly: "I have just made it very clear, Xuande porcelain and Yongle porcelain are very similar, there is not even an obvious difference in some places, the same carved out of a mold, you don't know about Yongle porcelain, then it's no wonder that the concept can't change, but if you have Yongle porcelain after research, you will know that the truth is not what you see now, and your mind will be reversed." Although Xuande porcelain and Yongle porcelain are extremely similar in style and are almost indistinguishable, they are two periods after all, and there are still certain differences when you look closely. ”

"Then may I ask, what is Yongle porcelain like? What is the difference between it and Xuande porcelain? Mr. Luo frowned slightly and said, "You said that this is not Xuande blue and white porcelain but Yongle blue and white porcelain, then you have to come up with evidence, otherwise it will be difficult to convince people." ”

Yi Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's it, since Mr. Luo is so interested, then I will give you a science popularization of Yongle porcelain, and the difference between it and Xuande porcelain." ”

"Tell me." Mr. Luo said politely, at this moment he is like a student who is eager to learn, and Yi Yang is a teacher who teaches and solves doubts.

Yi Yang paused and said: "After the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, the Ming Dynasty inherited orthodoxy, Yongle was in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was only thirty or forty years since the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, and the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty will naturally inherit some." I don't know how much you know about Yuan blue and white, if you know Yuan blue and white, it is not difficult to see that the blue and white porcelain of the Yongle period has a very strong Yuan blue and white style in the ornamentation, and the self-contained style of the Xuande period is very different. So if you take a closer look, is the ornamentation of this blue and white plum vase very similar to the ornamentation on the Yuan blue and white vase? ”

"It's a bit like that." Mr. Luo nodded lightly and agreed, the famous Yuan blue and white porcelain, but anyone who understands ancient porcelain will more or less study it, and Mr. Luo is naturally no exception.

Then he said: "This may be our negligence, we didn't see a little difference between this porcelain and Xuande blue and white, but even if it is the style of Yongle, then it is only Yongle imitation." It seems that Yongle porcelain is not more obvious than Xuande porcelain, right? It's the same for the imitation of the people, if it is an imitation of the Yongle kiln, the price will only be cheaper, and it is worth 20,000 yuan! ”

Yi Yang smiled, shook his head and said, "Mr. Luo, you are wrong again. ”

"What did you think wrong?" Mr. Luo was puzzled, "Isn't this a folk imitation, but a Yongle official kiln?" Haha, it can't be! If it's an official kiln, then it's worth it! The blue and white porcelain of the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty is a treasure worth tens of millions! Where can the average person find it? ”

When he said this, the other people sitting on the side, except for Bai Wenchao, who was sitting quietly beside Yi Yang, all laughed, and they all laughed at Yi Yang's whimsy.

The 20,000 things collected turned out to be worth tens of millions of heavy weapons!

"This will make you finally right, it is not a folk imitation, but an authentic official kiln, a fine product of Yongle official kiln!" Yi Yang nodded solemnly and replied, speaking very clearly and unambiguously.

As soon as these words came out, not only Mr. Luo and them, but even Bai Wenchao, who came with Yi Yang, was taken aback, which all of them never expected.

"You say that this is an official kiln boutique, not a private kiln imitation, what evidence do you have?" Mr. Luo asked, unconvinced.

Yi Yang was not in a hurry, and said: "The folk kiln imitates Yongle and Xuande, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are all dynasties, but these imitations do not pursue the similarity of modeling and ornamentation, and they are very free and chic when they are created, and they all have a full style of the dynasty, such as Kangxi imitation of Xuande, and the porcelain made is the same as the official kiln style of the Kangxi period, but the payment brings the signature of Xuande. Just ask, is there any imitation of a folk kiln that can make such exquisite porcelain? This piece of porcelain is well-shaped, exquisitely decorated, especially this incisive and robust painting style, reflecting the majestic beauty of traditional Chinese painting into the wood, which is really commendable! So in my judgment, this is a rare Yongle official kiln, which is worth a lot of money! ”

"Then it doesn't have a style at the bottom, how can this be explained? Could it be that the official kiln in the Yongle period still has no loans, it is unusual. Mr. Luo asked.

Yi Yang replied: "Not only did there be an official kiln in the Yongle period that did not bring money, but there were also other periods, such as Ru kiln and Yuan blue and white porcelain, an official kiln did not carry money, so there are several possibilities, first of all, the emperor's reward may not bring money; In addition, the porcelain that was made in the wrong place may not be brought, that is, 'wrong porcelain', and finally, some officials in charge of porcelain firing may secretly leave some porcelain for gifting, and these porcelains may not be brought without money. Anyway, no matter what the case is, it is a special official kiln porcelain, which is more collectible than ordinary official kiln porcelain! ”

"Isn't it?!" After listening to Yi Yang's explanation, Mr. Luo's eyes widened, and they were all speechless.

Modern renminbi manufacturing can have the wrong version of the coin, nothing is impossible, so there is indeed a possibility of any mistakes in the ancient porcelain firing and the later production of zuò, no one can be sure that it is not, the key is that the current porcelain is exquisite and beautiful in every aspect, impeccable, and comparable to the official kilns of that period.

"I can't help it if you don't believe me, anyway, I do!" Yi Yang said solemnly, and after that, he stood up and quickly put away the porcelain.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, I have other things, I'll talk about it when I have time."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left the restaurant with Bai Wenchao.

Only Mr. Luo and his party were left in a daze, and they couldn't react for a long time.
