Chapter 681: Western Fan Zuo

If it is not antique jade, when we Chinese buy such jade, the first thing we pay attention to is the material and quality of the jade, and then the carving, as well as the size of the vessel and other factors.

If it is Hetian mutton fat white jade material, the price will definitely not be low, followed by Hetian green jade, then green @ sea jasper, followed by Russian jasper, Korean jasper, and then Xiuyan jade and other low-quality jade.

And this kind of amphibole jade of Yarkand horn, the quality of shuo9 is a grade higher than that of Russian jasper and Korean jasper, but the price is not very expensive, if you buy it in tons, the price is about 100,000 to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

The most expensive ton is only a few hundred thousand yuan, how much is this plate and bottle?

Therefore, the price offered by the Tatar to his plate and bottle was really not low, and the reason why he dared to hold such a high price was nothing more than because of the processing technology used in this Hindustan jade, as well as the gold thread, gold edge, and various precious stones inlaid on it.

In recent years, because of the high prices of Hindustan jade in the market, there was a period in China where the market was full of such counterfeit Hindustan jade.

However, the kind of counterfeit jade in China can only be described as shoddy, many of which are made by conjecture, and the process cannot be said at all.

The most important thing is that the Hindustan jade imitated by those counterfeiters in our country cannot be regarded as a real Hindustan jade at all, but can only be regarded as a domestic imitation of the West!

The origin of this so-called Western Fan is that after Emperor Qianlong received the tribute from those jade artifacts in Chendustan, he was very happy and very obsessed with these jades.

And the person in charge of the Qing Court Office at that time took a look. Their master actually liked this kind of Hindustan jade so much, so he simply set up a special unit in the manufacturing office to imitate this kind of Hindustan jade.

So he summoned a large number of jade craftsmen from Su@Zhou and Yang@Zhou at that time, and moved all of them into the capital, so that they could imitate this kind of Jindustan jade.

And those jade craftsmen from Yang@Zhou and Su@Zhou arrived in the capital. He began to study this jade artifact, and soon he studied it thoroughly.

However, when these Hindustan jades were imitated later, these craftsmen also had their own ideas, because most of those Hindustan jades were with an obvious Western Regions style, and some of the jade were engraved with the Koran or something.

And how can those jade masters in our country completely copy the practices of these Western Regions fans?

So when they copied this Hindustan jade, they combined the characteristics of Hindustan jade with our traditional jade cutting technology. It has produced a lot of 'Zndustan jade' that is completely our Chinese's own characteristics and prefers our Chinese's own taste.

It is precisely because these jades are not completely in the style of Hindustan jade, but they have the characteristics of Hindustan jade, so such jade has been given a new name, called Western Fanzuo.

One of the most striking features of this kind of passionate jade is that it has a jade sidewall as thin as that of Zhindustan jade. But the matter is in the shape of the jade, as well as the pattern carving. But all of them are our own Chinese shapes, and the patterns are also the types of patterns that we Chinese like.

And most of the Western fan's works we make belong to the nature of ornamental vessels, and will not be made into practical utensils, on the other hand, we will not be like the real Hindustan jade. A large number of gemstones are inlaid on the jade body, or gold threads are pinched and gilded.

Generally, it is still made in the kind of plain and elegant and pure color that we like.

Such jade, although with obvious characteristics of Dustan jade. But it is different from the real Hindustan jade, so it can no longer be called Hindustan jade, so the people of our Qing court's internal affairs office specially gave this kind of jade a name, called Xifanzuo.

In recent years, most of the so-called Hindustan jade, which is popular in our domestic market, are actually made in imitation of this style of Western fan.

Even the so-called Hindustan jade preserved in our domestic antique museum and the Palace Museum on Treasure Island is actually mostly made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as for the real Hindustan jade, when the British and French troops sacked the capital, it was actually almost robbed......

Therefore, there is no imitation of the technology and craftsmanship of real Hindustan jade in China, and this Tatar is also aware of the situation of our domestic jade market, so they will tell you at this price.

This jade is really copied in accordance with the past style of Hindustan jade, and the craftsmanship of others is worth this price, not to mention that the various gems inlaid in this bottle are all genuine Nepalese gemstones.

This kind of red, yellow, green and blue gemstones, don't look at each one is not very big, but on this bottle, there are more than a dozen dots, and the value of these gems alone must be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Coupled with the craftsmanship and craftsmanship of others, the price is really not high.

Jin Muchen didn't hesitate much, 150,000 US dollars is 150,000 US dollars, which is nothing more than a hair for him.

But this time, just like yesterday, before he could pay the money, the Shenmu who had been following him had already taken the initiative to stand up and settle the account.

What are you kidding, Master Watanabe has already said that other people's consumption should be paid by themselves, although 150,000 US dollars is not a small amount, but for the Japanese B society that is making money every day, it is not a big amount.

What's more, the monthly gold they give to the six generations of Nayakuza every month is not worth this amount.

Since someone took the initiative to pay for it, Jin Muchen didn't say anything more, anyway, the Japanese are willing to be generous, so how can he go against the kindness of others?

Shenmu finished taking the account, and with a wave of his hand, two of his subordinates stepped forward and packed the two jade bottles and jade plates, and were stopped by Jin Muchen just as he wanted to leave.

"Wait, wrap this carton for me, don't lose any of it!"

Jin Muchen explained that Shenmu arrived, and Shenmu immediately bowed: "Hayi!" Rest assured, Jim-san will be careful not to lose a piece. ”

Today there is a harvest, and Jin Muchen also feels about it, anyway, this exhibition will be held for a few more days, and he is not in a hurry, he decided to go back to the hotel first to take a good look at his loot is saying.

Following Shenmu and them back to the hotel in the car, after Shenmu commanded a few of his subordinates to carefully move things into the room, Jin Muchen casually took out 10,000 US dollars and threw it to Shenmu.

"You've worked hard these days, this money is the money I paid for you to drink, you're welcome, take it!"

Although these guys are Watanabe's subordinates, Jin Muchen still understands the truth of buying people's hearts, and it seems that these are a few of Watanabe's followers arranged for him.

I'm not familiar with the Japanese people, and sometimes I may do something 'out of the ordinary', so I still have to be able to catch these dogs.

Watanabe is willing to help himself pay, which can help him save a lot of money, and the money saved cannot be undrawn.

And Shenmu and the others obviously didn't expect that Jin Muchen would actually give them money, and it was actually 10,000 US dollars in one throw, and the expressions on the faces of several people suddenly became richer.

As members of the B Society in Japan, they are very well organized, and they receive a monthly salary from the organization just like they normally go to work.

But these people are out of Shenmu, and they are counted as senior cadres of Jichun Society, and the other few people are at best some middle- and low-level horse boys, thugs, and errand and miscellaneous members, and their monthly salary is not very high, and they are about the same as ordinary white-collar workers, and they can receive a salary of about 20,000 yuan a month.

It may seem like a lot of wages, but compared to the prices in Japan, it's really not that high.

And Jin Muchen gave them a tip of 10,000 US dollars as soon as he shook his hand, you must know that the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen is quite terrifying, and this money is equivalent to half a month's salary of several of them combined.

Suddenly, several people's impression of Jin Muchen changed greatly, and he was really from the United States, he was bold enough!

A few people were not hypocritical, and bowed to Jin Muchen: "Thank you, Jimsan!" ”

And Jin Muchen waved at them indifferently, and several people retreated out of the room and closed the door very sensibly.

As soon as Jin Muchen turned around, he saw that Belinda was already sitting on the sofa, picked up the jade bottle full of gems, and began to look at it non-stop.

Women, too, don't have much resistance to these beautiful things and inlaid with all kinds of beautiful stones.

"Do you like it?"

Jin Muchen asked Belinda with a smile, and Belinda turned her head and smiled at him and nodded.

"Then I'll give it to you, even the plate, I'll give it to you."

Belinda's eyes immediately turned into surprise when she looked at him, she had just seen this thing, and she bought it for 150,000 dollars, although she also grew up in a rich family, but she had never seen her relative, and the 150,000 dollar thing was given away.

Even her own parents, in addition to leaving her a rich inheritance when they died, never gave her such a rich gift when they were alive.

At this time, Jin Muchen smiled and nodded at her: "Yes, you heard it right, these things were given to you." ”

"No, no, Mu Chen, this thing is too valuable!"

"Don't say those stupid ......" (To be continued.) )
