Chapter 422: The Treasure Around Us (Medium)
"You're talking about the porcelain pillow?" Lao Wu asked.
Yi Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it's that porcelain." How did that piece of porcelain get damaged? How did it break? ”
"Hey, don't talk about it, it's a pity to talk about it." Lao Wu shook his head and said with a long sigh.
"What's wrong? What happened? Yi Yang wondered, "Could it be that you accidentally broke that porcelain?" ”
"No, it wasn't me who broke it, but one man." Lao Wu shook his head and said, "As soon as I saw this porcelain pillow fragment, I felt sorry for that person." ”
"Why do you say that?" Yi Yang continued to ask, he was very curious, the origin of that porcelain must not be simple, and there was a story behind it.
I only heard Lao Wu Yuan originally said: "It was a good year ago, there was an old man who came to our museum to offer treasures, but the things he brought were questioned by other cultural relics appraisers in the museum, only I am more optimistic, but my opinion alone is not useful, so the museum finally rejected the treasure offered by the old man, at that time he was very sad, in front of us smashed the porcelain, that is, now we see the damaged kiln porcelain pillow."
"After the treasure was rejected, the old man was angry and sick, and he died not long after, and then his son gave me the fragments, saying that this was his father's last wish, and I was very touched when I took the porcelain, and I felt very sorry for him, and I was not able to defend him, otherwise such a tragedy might not have been staged!"
"I see!" After hearing this, Yi Yang's heart was also slightly shaken, and he sighed, "That old man is really a stubborn person!" Mr. Wu, I feel that your appraisal is a bit arbitrary, why don't you take it to do scientific tests such as carbon 14? With this result, if something is not right, it will make the treasure giver die! ”
Lao Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can it be so simple? In the past, it was not better than now, but now the detection technology is much more sophisticated, in the past, our museum identification of things generally relied on eyesight, the kind of method you said is rarely used, in fact, the so-called carbon 14 detection and other scientific identification methods are not so accurate. ”
"That's the case, there are some things that can't be detected by scientific testing methods, and can only rely on the vision and experience of appraisers." Yi Yang nodded in agreement.
Although Lao Wu did not elaborate on the actions of the old man who offered the treasure and the attitude of their museum staff, Yi Yang thought that the old man must have been very disappointed, and he was so angry that he smashed the thing because he was hopeful that he would not be taken seriously by offering the treasure to the country, and he became ill as a result.
"Then you didn't do another appraisal after that?" After a pause, Yi Yang asked again.
Lao Wu nodded and said: "Well, I didn't pursue it anymore, because personally, I am more optimistic about that porcelain, and the other people in the museum have unanimously denied it from beginning to end, hey, I can't help it, even if I want to rehabilitate the old man, I can't come up with full evidence!" Hehe, if I were a great appraiser like you, then I guess others would believe it.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Yi, what do you think? Although this porcelain has been damaged, you can still see a little bit of fame with your eyes, right? ”
Yi Yang smiled faintly and said, "It's too late now." ”
He didn't answer Lao Wu's question directly, but said it very briefly, but that sentence was obviously meaningful and contained a lot of information.
"It's late?" Lao Wu's expression froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Yi, what do you mean...... Is this porcelain genuine?! ”
"Hmm!" Yi Yang nodded vigorously and replied solemnly, "The thing is indeed genuine, you were not wrong at the time, it was your colleagues who looked away." This is a national treasure-level antique, and it is worth a fortune! ”
He didn't hide it and told the truth.
Hearing this, not only Lao Wu, but also Master Fu and Bai Wenchao, who were standing aside to listen to the two of them talking about the broken porcelain, couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their faces showed disbelief.
That pile of porcelain is a priceless national treasure!
"Song Dynasty Dingyao porcelain?!" Master Fu couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, the real Song Dynasty Dingyao porcelain, a very open baby pillow!" Yiyang is colorful.
"I'll just say, it obviously doesn't look like a fake!" Lao Wu sighed and said, "Hey, it's a pity, otherwise the old man will not only not be angry, but will also win a good name, and at the same time, our museum has also added a national treasure that is enough to become the treasure of the town!" Xiao Yi, if you were born early, then I can ask you to help identify and stop those doubters! ”
Yi Yang said: "That old man is not just to get a good reputation, it is mainly a wish of his, there are not many people like this now!" If anyone has a good treasure at home, it is strange if they don't hold it tightly, how can they think of donating it to a museum? ”
"Yes, I know!" Lao Wu nodded heavily and said, "That old man is full of red blood, he is sincere in offering treasures!" Xiao Yi, is this porcelain still worth much? ”
"It's late!" Yi Yang sighed, "It's all broken like that, and it's become a pile of fragments." You are masters in this industry, and you should know better than me that the integrity of an antique is extremely important, and the slightest damage can greatly reduce the value of it, let alone turn into a pile of fragments containing fragments! However, this pile of porcelain tiles may still be of some use to me. Mr. Wu, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you can consider it. ”
"You say." Lao Wu nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Of course I will consider your request." ”
Yi Yang was relieved: "Then I won't beat around the bush and say it directly." You may not know, I have a big hobby, that is, collecting ancient porcelain fragments, I have collected a lot of them now, and I am going to open a museum related to porcelain in the future. So, can you give me this pile of porcelain tiles? ”
"This ......" Hearing this, Lao Wu was stunned, as if he was in a hesitation.
Seeing that he hesitated to answer, Yi Yang hurriedly added: "Of course, Mr. Wu, I won't ask for this batch of porcelain pieces in vain, one qiē according to the market value, it will only be more." ”
"I didn't mean that." Lao Wu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just that this batch of porcelain pieces is very special, it wasn't mine, it was given to me by that old man." ”
Yi Yang nodded and said, "I know." The old man's will is obvious, he just hopes that his things can play their due value, and now I can help him do it, and when I think of that day, the old man will also be blind under the nine springs. ”
"yes." Lao Wu nodded solemnly.
Yi Yang said: "I hope you can think about it, as for the price, I will give 500,000." ”
"Five hundred thousand?!" Lao Wu was shocked, shook his head again and again, "Why do you want so much money?!" ”
He was born as a cultural relics appraiser, and now he is also a member of the collection community, so he naturally understands the price of porcelain pieces, even if it is a sky-high porcelain piece such as Ru kiln, it is not worth much, 500,000 yuan is obviously a very high price.
Yi Yang said: "Yes!" Of the 500,000 yuan, take out 200,000 of them and give them to the old man's son or other descendants. ”
"Xiao Yi, you are such a kind child!" Lao Wu exclaimed, "Actually, even if you don't give money, I am very willing to hand over these porcelain pieces to you, because you are recognized as the leading collector in this industry, and things can only play their due light when they are in your hands!" ”
"You've won a prize." Yi Yang smiled and said, "So, Mr. Wu, are you willing to think about it?" Don't worry, when something comes into my hands, I will treat it well. ”
"Well, there's no reason to refuse you." Lao Wu nodded without hesitation.
"Thank you then." Yi Yang said happily, and after finishing speaking, he took out a cash check from his bag and handed it to Lao Wu.
Lao Wu took it with trembling hands, 500,000 is undoubtedly not a small amount for ordinary people, if Yi Yang hadn't found out, then the pile of porcelain pieces placed there would be a pile of waste, which would not reflect the slightest value.
After getting the check, Lao Wu hurriedly packed the batch of porcelain pieces for Yi Yang.
Later, they walked out of the collection room.
After chatting with Lao Wu for a while, Yi Yang was about to say goodbye, and they were still in a hurry to visit the antique market here.
But at this moment, a person hurried over to the door.
Looks like there's something urgent!
