Chapter 64: Pressuring
Yesterday's collection was dismal, so don't miss the amount when you pass by...... In addition, ask for some referrals!
**************
"Wu Yue Beishi", "Song and Two Dynasties Tribute Fenglu" and "Song Hui to Compile Manuscripts" have been mentioned, in the tribute porcelain name there are Jinkou, Yinkou and gold Dingqi and other names.
According to the history of the Song Dynasty, in the fifth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Northern Song Dynasty (980), Wu Yueqian paid tribute to Song Taizong with "2,000 things of gold and fixed vessels".
This kind of gold fixture was specially used by the royal family at that time.
Of course, the gold fixture is also divided into two situations, from the five dynasties to the early Northern Song Dynasty, the high-grade tribute white porcelain fired by the kiln is inlaid with gold mouth and gold foot to show dignity; In the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the washer overfiring process was adopted, the kiln workers found that the white porcelain fired would appear mangkou.
Therefore, in order to cover up the defects of high-grade white porcelain, it has become a popular means to wrap gold edges on the buckle to cover up the defects of this white porcelain.
But after Jin Muchen looked at the pattern inside the mouth of this bowl, he could conclude that this bowl was definitely not the second case, because the pattern inside the mouth of this bowl was a famous crest.
It is commonly known as the little dragon, such a pattern is not an ordinary gold fixture can be used, if there is such a pattern, it means that the owner of this bowl before his death, the status of that era is very noble.
Even if he is not a prince, he is also a prince, or even a prince.
In this way, the identity of this bowl is undoubted, it must be a royal figure in the Northern Song Dynasty, with such a conclusion, then the value of this bowl is immediately highlighted.
The development of porcelain in the Song Dynasty can be said to be another peak period after the Tang Dynasty, although it is not as famous as the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it also has its own special historical positioning, and characteristics.
First of all, if you look at the porcelain itself, this white porcelain bowl is certainly not as beautiful as the blue and white and pastel of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it has extraordinary historical significance.
You must know that there are not many complete gold fixtures in the world at present, and there are only more than 100 pieces in the world, among which the largest collection is in the British Empire Museum, and the origin must have been robbed by the British back then.
The second most common place is the Palace Museum on Treasure Island, where there are more than a dozen pieces of gold fixtures, among which it can be concluded that they were used by the Northern Song Dynasty royal family, and there is just that one.
In the Palace Museum on the mainland, there are only a few pitiful collections of such gold-bound vessels, although many of them are ordinary second-type fixed kiln white porcelain, but because of the problem of survival, all of them are defined as national first-class cultural relics.
Now in front of me, it can be said that it is a real Song Dynasty royal object, although it is a practical device, but the quality is complete, coupled with its rarity, as well as the special significance of historical documents, as long as this bowl circulates out, it is definitely a treasure that can cause an earthquake in the collection world.
The bowl in front of him must have been brushed with a layer of white ash at night in order to deliberately conceal the identity of this bowl by the previous owners, but I don't know how it fell into the hands of Grandpa Narandi, and his grandfather may not have seen the origin of this bowl, otherwise this bowl alone is enough for their Friedrich family to have no worries about food and clothing!
He took a hard puff of his cigarette, exhaled a long puff of smoke, tried to calm his excitement, and put down the bowl.
Looking at the other treasures on the table, when I first looked at it, I was almost dazzled by the jewels emitted by these noun beautiful jade, and now after looking at the gold fixture, I am looking at the harmony baby, as if these are just a bunch of vulgar powder, and even have a vulgar feeling.
Before, he was still calculating the price of those treasures, but now it seems that there is no need to calculate at all, as long as he can take down this bowl, then all the qiē is worth it.
Digging out the old house, the biggest fun is to pick up the leak, in fact, to put it bluntly, just pick up the cheap, with the lowest price, in exchange for the greatest benefits.
And now it seems that today's biggest leak is just around the corner.
originally thought that this Randy suddenly had a tough attitude, and he had a somewhat face-turning posture of not recognizing people, but Jin Muchen felt that it was impossible for him to pick up the leak today.
But now it seems that if you can win this bowl, then this trip will definitely not be in vain! Of course, if you take it at a very low price......
He crushed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, then looked up, and Randy and Helen over there also heard his movement, and then looked up and smiled and asked him to arrive.
"How? Finished reading? ”
"Hmm!"
"Okay, let's talk about the price now!"
"That porcelain vase, 200,000 US dollars, in addition, this double set of pen washes 150,000 yuan, and that green glazed Fang Zun also costs 200,000 yuan...... The total is 1.5 million, Mr. Jin, what do you think of the price? ”
This offer is not low, when Jin Muchen heard it, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, because it can be seen from this quote that this Randy is a second knife, and his valuation of those few pieces of porcelain from the Qing Dynasty is quite accurate, but he definitely didn't see the value of this white porcelain bowl.
Jin Muchen really wanted to agree to this price in one bite, but he knew that he couldn't do that.
Randy's appearance just now is not as unbearable as rumored outside, on the contrary, this kid is slippery, if he doesn't bargain with him, but simply agrees neatly, it will definitely arouse this guy's suspicion, and maybe this guy will regret it when he gets to the door.
In case this guy is determined not to buy it, but to figure out other channels and sell these things, then he will miss the treasure in front of him.
So bargaining is still necessary, and the purpose of this is to make this guy not suspicious.
"One and a half million? Don't be funny, Randy, I know you've seen some of the market before, but I'll tell you that the ones you know are the ones that went to auction. And if you don't believe me, you can take these porcelains to the antique shops in Manhattan and see if they will give you that price? If I take these things from you at your price, I'm sure I'll lose money. ”
Jin Muchen replied with a smile, Randy's brows furrowed, obviously not satisfied with Jin Muchen's answer.
"Mr. Jin, these are all real antiques, and they are all fine antiques."
"Well, I don't deny this, most of you are indeed real antiques, but only these porcelain vases, pen washes, and these jade pieces are more valuable, and others, such as this white porcelain bowl, although they can also be regarded as antiques, they are not valuable goods. You have to know that I have received these goods from you, and I have to find a way to ship them to China, because there they can fetch a really high price, and if they are auctioned in the United States, the final price will be a quarter lower than in China. So how do you calculate the shipping cost here? And what about the cost of customs clearance? You also know that the guys at customs, according to the laws of the United States, everything that is defined as precious antiques is not allowed to be shipped out of the United States, so I have to pay a fee to get through the relationship, and after these things are sent to China, they will organize special auctions and publicity expenses? What about labor costs? And what about taxes, and the deduction points of the auction company? Have you thought about it? So Mr. Randy, the price you want really isn't quite right! ”
Randy's brows tightened, although what Jin Muchen said made sense.
But he prefers to interpret those reasons as the condition that Jin Muchen deliberately lowered the price to himself, and this damn Chinese guy is an unscrupulous profiteer.
"Damn, if it weren't for Helen. On Hearst's face, do you think Lao Tzu would be willing to do business with you, a dirty Chinese guy? ”
Randy's face was filled with anger, he didn't like the Chinese originally, and this time he was forced to make a deal with him, but this damn one, and still want to take advantage of himself?
Randy cursed to himself, although his voice was extremely low, but how could he hide it from Jin Muchen's ears with excellent hearing, his face changed suddenly, this grandson scolded himself yesterday, and he hadn't settled accounts with him yet?
At this time, he still hasn't changed!
"No, no matter what, you can't go below this price, if you don't agree, you can leave now!"
Randy couldn't suppress his anger first, and issued an eviction order, after all, doing business with the Chinese had already made him feel that he had lowered his value, and if he cut the price again, he felt that he would lose too much.
Jin Muchen didn't say anything, he stood up directly, came to Helen's side, and stretched out his hand, Helen smiled and crossed his arm through the crook of his arm.
"Helen, I think you should call your uncle, don't you? Mr. Genenaro's life, Mr. Randy has a lot of good things here that can be used to offset his debts. When I see Mr. Gennaro, can you estimate the value of these things at one and a half million! ”
Jin Muchen said this to Helen, but in front of Randy.
"Well, I think it's a good idea, and I think Mr. Gennaro will be happy to do his best to repay Mr. Randy. And if these things were in Mr. Gennaro's hands, maybe we wouldn't have been able to get them for a lot of money. ”
Helen said very cooperatively with Jin Muchen, and winked at him with a snicker, the two turned around and left, as soon as they heard this, Randy, who had a tough attitude just now, immediately softened.
He was also a little angry before, but now as soon as Jin Muchen's words came out, his little temper immediately disappeared.
What are you kidding, if they really informed that Genaro, don't joke, these antiques, let alone one and a half million, that guy who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, can give an offer of 500,000, thank God.
