Chapter 680 - with giveaways
In fact, there is a big misunderstanding about machining or hand-processed things, and some people in modern times have a big misunderstanding.
Many people think that handmade things are better than machined ones, and if that's the case, then they couldn't be more wrong.
If it is really handmade, it must be better than machining, then people still spend so much effort to study what high-precision CNC machine tools do, all by hand.
But in fact, many of the works of modern industry are more sophisticated than hand-made works, which is recognized by the world, only a small part of the things, hand-made is indeed higher than the machined works B grid, that is, luxury.
And these traces of the jade in front of you are such a machined luxury, but if you want to say that the handmade ones are better than the machined ones, it is definitely not right.
In the past, due to the limited production capacity, people had to use more manual skills to create Hindustan jade, but because it was not different from other people's skills, it was inevitable that the Hindustan jade would have some flaws.
And now the machined jade, because all CNC machine tools are polished and polished, such flaws will be much less, at least there will be no uneven thickness of the jade.
It seems like a small problem, but if it appears on the jade, then the problem is big.
Because one of the most significant characteristics of Hindustan jade is that it is particularly thin and pays attention to a light transmittance, so if the jade is polished by hand, there is an uneven thickness of the jade. Because the geographical location of the owner is different. The conditions for preservation are also different. Therefore, the image of jade is also very large.
For example, if such a thin jade is stored in the north, a cold and dry area, if it is stored for a long time and is not properly preserved, it will be more prone to cracks and leave many unsightly oxidation marks on the jade.
However, if the thickness is uniform, the storage conditions will not be so high, and it will not be easy to crack.
Therefore, the use of modern machining technology to process the Hindustan jade. Indeed, it is more durable than the hand-processed Hindustan jade in the past.
And this Tatar is right, although these jade objects are modern machined works, they are indeed produced in the origin of Hindustan jade in the past, and the materials used are not bad.
Therefore, although these jades cannot be regarded as antiques, they can definitely be regarded as the category of top luxury goods.
Jin Muchen also agrees with him on this point.
His golden eyes, when he saw these Hindustan jades. I also saw a lot of shimmering jewels, which is also an affirmation of these Hindustan jades.
But now he analyzes the reason why he can see those jewels in these jades. It's not because these jades are real antique Hindustan jade, but because the materials used in these jades are indeed top-notch genuine materials.
So at this time, he just touched his chin and did not refute what Tatar had just said.
Now this kind of jade is not particularly popular in the domestic market, and the main reason why it is not popular is not that this kind of jade is not bad, but because this thing is very scarce in the world, and because of the scarcity of the world, as long as there is a genuine product, the price is often speculated very high.
As soon as such a situation appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of those counterfeiters, so in recent years, a large number of counterfeit Dustan jade objects have appeared in the domestic market.
And most of these Jindustan jades are also well-made, which makes many experts suffer a loss.
It is precisely because many collectors and experts have suffered from those counterfeit Hindustan jades that everyone will adopt a conservative and cautious attitude when facing these Hindustan jades, which is also the main reason why Hindustan jades are not particularly popular in the domestic market.
And these Hindustan jades in front of him are indeed Hindustan jades, but they are not that kind of old objects, at best, they can only be regarded as top-level luxuries, not antiques, so Jin Muchen is wondering how this thing should be priced.
And when Natatar saw Jin Muchen at this time, he didn't refute his statement this time, and he knew that this gentleman seemed to agree with what he had just said, which made him feel that there was a door to this business, so he immediately encouraged his own tongue and continued to blow in front of Jin Muchen.
It is nothing more than how hard he worked to process these things, found a lot of specialized experts, and spent a lot of time to verify how the past Hindustan jade was made, how much energy was spent, and how much money was spent to produce these Hindustan jade, the purpose is nothing more than to explain that these Hindustan jade, although not antiques, but not so easy to make, he spent a lot of effort to make.
This guy is full of curry-flavored English, and the speed of speech is very fast, not to mention Jin Muchen, it is Belinda, who has been standing beside Jin Muchen without making a sound before, and she is dizzy and dizzy at this time.
Jin Muchen shook his head, trying to dispel the depressed feeling from his mind, but the moment he shook his head, a soft light mixed with yellow and green suddenly flashed from a cardboard box under this guy's stall attracted him.
This guy's stall is the same as the stall owner's stall, it is arranged from high to low, the front is placed on the ground, and the ground is covered with a layer of black flannel cloth, on which some knickkgets are placed, and then behind is a stepped display shelf with various things on it.
The light flashed from a cardboard box at the foot next to the ladder shelf, Jin Muchen was very interested in the cardboard box at this time, so he pointed to the cardboard box and asked the Tatar: "What is in that cardboard box?" ”
As soon as Natar heard Jin Muchen's question, he immediately became even more energetic, turned around and dragged the cardboard box over.
"Sir, I'm really not lying, you look at the contents of the cardboard box. It took me a lot of effort to collect fragments of past Hindustan jade from some old fellows I knew. As you know, as early as the middle of the eighteenth century, the true trace of Dustan jade was extinct. At that time, China changed its emperor, and the new emperor did not like this kind of Hindustan jade, so the production of this kind of Hindustan jade in India and Pakistan at that time decreased sharply, but there was still some production, which was specially used by those rich nobles. But later, the British came in and colonized for a time, and many of those nobles were ruined by the British at that time. Even if some survived, in order to please the British, they used more of the things that the British liked at home, so the market for this Hindustan jade gradually disappeared, and the production skills gradually disappeared. A few years ago, in order to revive this skill, I sought out many descendants of craftsmen who knew how to use this craft, and I wanted to join forces with them to bring this cultural treasure back to life. But I didn't think that they didn't even learn a little bit of their ancestors' craftsmanship, and I had no choice but to look for this kind of Hindustan jade left over from India back then, and then copy the craftsmanship of the year through the finished product, but you also know that the well-preserved Hindustan jade is very expensive, and I have no choice but to find some fragments of Hindustan jade, so that those craftsmen can figure it out repeatedly, and learn to copy these Hindustan jade in front of me......"
As he spoke, Tatar pushed the cardboard box in front of Jin Muchen, who stretched out his neck to take a look inside, and there were really some jade fragments inside.
It seems that this Tatar has really put a lot of thought into copying the jade of Hindustan back then, at least these jade fragments are not so easy to collect.
And this Tatar, who did not expect that it was just a temporary idea, brought these fragments, and now it has become the most favorable evidence to convince the potential buyer in front of him, which also makes him very happy.
These fragments are indeed the same as he said, it was indeed in order to copy the production process of this trace of Duststein jade, he searched everywhere, and later after the successful copying, he has been reluctant to throw these fragments, and has been feeling a headache about how to deal with these fragments, but he didn't expect this thing to play an unexpected role today.
As for Jin Muchen, he stretched out his hand and pulled around these fragments, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He stood up, looked up at the Tatar and said, "Okay, I want this plate, and this bottle, you can make a price!" But I have one condition, that is, you will also give me the fragments of this box. ”
This Tatar couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Jin Muchen's conditions, but immediately a smile appeared on his face, what is the big deal if he can sell two pieces of jade and give him a box of fragments.
Anyway, I have already mastered the production process of this trace of Dustan jade, and I am worried that I can't deal with the fragments of this box.
"Well, this plate, and this bottle, I want to pay for 150,000 dollars!"
This guy really dares to ask for a price, 150,000 US dollars, which is definitely not a low price for modern jade in the international market.
After all, jade is something that Chinese like all over the world, but most of the jade that Chinese like is Chinese antique jade, and the material must be mutton fat white jade.
What he used was the amphibole jade of Yarkand horn, which was a little better than Russian jade and Korean green jade in terms of material, but compared with Hetian mutton fat jade, it was a few levels worse, so his asking price was really not low. (To be continued.) )
