Chapter 102 "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger" superb Shoushan stone carving
"Brother Yi Yang, what are you looking at?"
When Yi Yang was looking intently at the stone carving, Bai Wenchao and Sun Shangwu quietly walked over, and they were a little surprised to see him looking at a broken stone sculpture so seriously.
Yi Yang smiled slightly: "I'm looking at that stone carving." ”
"That should be Shoushan stone carving, something has a certain number of years, but the problem is not small, I estimate that it is man-made, there are many broken places, and it has lost its original ornamental value." I only listened to Sun Shangwu's evaluation.
His evaluation is very impressive, and it is true, things are damaged, however, none of them know that Yi Yang likes such antiques, because no matter how badly damaged, he can repair it.
"Well, I know, but I think it's pretty good." Yi Yang nodded lightly.
Bai Wenchao was surprised: "Could it be that you like this stone carving?" ”
Although he was also a little puzzled, he knew Yi Yang better than Sun Shangwu, and knew that the other party liked to collect damaged antiques, but he only knew that the other party used to collect ancient porcelain pieces and porcelain fragments, isn't it not only porcelain, but also other antique fragments He likes to collect.
Yi Yang nodded and said, "It's okay, I want to have fun, but I don't know how to sell this thing." ”
Sun Shangwu was surprised: "Brother Yi, what are you buying such a stone sculpture for?" Aren't there a lot of antique stone carvings here? There are also a lot of Shoushan stones, which are not worse than it, you can carve other stones. ”
Yi Yang insisted on his own opinion and said: "Incompleteness is also a kind of beauty." Brother Sun, you don't know, I have different preferences, I usually prefer to collect broken antiques, porcelain, stone carvings, etc., all the same. ”
He said matter-of-factly, Bai Wenchao explained for him: "Hehe, my brother's collection is very special, that is his hobby. ”
"Oh, is that so?" Sun Shangwu nodded suddenly, so far he didn't have any doubts, green vegetables and radishes, each has its own good, everyone can understand this, and the antique collection is the same.
Then he said: "This stone carving is a fragment, it is definitely not very valuable, and it stands to reason that the price will not be very high." ”
"I hope the boss will give me a real price." Yi Yang responded.
Later, Sun Shangwu helped him call the shopkeeper over, the boss looked like he was in his forties, middle-aged bald, fat head and big ears, although his appearance was not good, but he looked very honest, and his face was a real person.
"Boss, how did you sell that broken carving?" Sun Shangwu asked directly at the stone sculpture.
He emphasized the word "defective" in his words, which means to sue the boss that they can be sure that the thing is damaged and cannot be priced as genuine.
It can be seen from this that Sun Shangwu is not a chick, he has some experience in this industry, and he is more business-oriented.
The boss did not immediately offer an offer, but introduced: "That stone carving has a history of more than 100 years, it is said that it came from the hand of a famous carver in the Qing Dynasty, although the thing is incomplete, but the collection value can not be ignored." ”
He Wang Po sells melons and boasts, Yiyang They look at each other, the boss said that the stone carving is from the hands of a famous artist, but there is no evidence to show its origin, so these words are just telling a story to them, and the ears of people who have been in the antique shop all the year round have heard that the cocoon is coming, and they have long been numb.
Therefore, Yi Yang and the others laughed it off, and no one cared about that situation.
Sun Shangwu smiled indifferently: "Boss, we can see how things are, you should hurry up and give a real price, if the price is right, then we will ask for it." ”
The boss said: "The material of the stone carving is still very large, there are dozens of catties of weight, and the raw material is still a good old Shoushan stone, and you can carve it again when you take it back." This brother, if you like it, you can watch it yourself and give a price. ”
Sun Shangwu shook his head very decisively and said, "You are the boss, of course the price has to be opened by you first." You say that the material of the stone is the best Shoushan stone, which I don't agree with, I can only say that it is general, it is a very common kind of Shoushan stone, and you can buy a large number of them at a very low price. ”
"Hehe, brother, it seems that you are an expert!" The boss smiled and said, I don't know if he was praising him from the bottom of his heart, or if he had something to say.
But he had already compromised, and only listened to him continue: "If you sincerely want it, then give 10,000 yuan." ”
The bid was 10,000, which was not high in Yi Yang's opinion, and it was completely within the range he could accept.
Because he was sure from the beginning, he had encountered another big leak, and after taking down the remnant of the old stone carving, he could use his ability to repair it and restore it to its original state, and the value would increase several times and dozens of times at that time.
"Ten thousand?!" Sun Shangwu disagreed, and said, "Boss, your price is too high, please give me a real price." ”
The boss hurriedly said: "My price is very real, I don't want more than 10,000 yuan, right?" ”
Sun Shangwu said: "But your stone carving is a remnant, and it is very badly damaged, how can a piece like this be worth 10,000 yuan?!" 10,000 yuan can buy a complete piece. ”
Seeing Sun Shangwu's resolute attitude, the boss decided that the price was too high, so he had no choice but to make concessions, and said with a helpless expression: "Then you should give a price." ”
Sun Shangwu looked at the stone sculpture and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Four thousand! ”
"Four thousand?! Forget it! You've had too little, brother! The boss shook his head and said.
After saying that, he turned his head and was about to walk away, but Sun Shangwu stopped him in time and said, "Five thousand, the highest price is five thousand!" Boss, 5,000 yuan to buy your very broken stone, you don't lose at all! ”
The boss stared at him thoughtfully.
In the end, he smiled helplessly, sighed and said: "Hey, I've seen young people who can bargain, but I've never seen you so ruthless, five thousand is five thousand, when will you want it?" ”
Sun Shangwu turned around and looked at Yi Yang, who stood up and said, "I want it now." Boss, pack it for me, we'll take it later. ”
After speaking, he took out a large handful of saffron bills from the bag he was carrying, and counted out five thousand yuan from them and handed them to the boss.
After getting the money, the boss happily went to pack for Yi Yang.
At this point, the Shoushan stone carving with great room for transformation was taken down by Yi Yangshun.
After negotiating the business of the stone carving, Sun Shangwu and Bai Wenchao each bought a small Shoushan stone to use as a seal.
Shoushan stone is known as the "national stone", is the "king of stones", and is also one of the "four seal stones" since ancient times.
In addition to Shoushan stone, the other three major seal stones are Zhejiang Chang fossil, Zhejiang **Tian stone, Inner Mongolia Bahrain stone.
The Shoushan stone is located at the head of the seal stone, and it is naturally suitable for carving seals.
Although Yi Yang has not studied Shoushan stone, he has heard a lot, and knows that Shoushan stone has great use value, some of which are very precious, such as Tianhuang stone, "one or two Tianhuang ten taels of gold", you can imagine how valuable it is, and it is not easy to find a piece of Tianhuang rough stone now.
After each of them bought their own things, Yi Yang and the others moved the Shoushan stone, which weighed more than fifty catties, onto Sun Shangwu's jeep.
Sun Shangwu said that he would send them back to the hotel, and he had nothing to do anyway.
Dongdajie is not very far from the hotel where they stayed in Yiyang, about an hour away.
Sun Shangwu said: "Brother Yi, in fact, the hotel where I live is near here. ”
"Oh, is it? That's a coincidence. Yi Yang said happily, "Then how is your antique business doing?" When will I return to Beijing? ”
Sun Shangwu replied: "It can be done in two days." I went back after getting my things. If you have time, come to Beijing to play, and I will definitely take you everywhere to see it when the time comes. ”
His home is in Beijing, and he is not familiar with the place where his hometown is located, if he leads the way to hunt for treasures, of course it will be better.
Yi Yang hurriedly agreed: "Okay, we just want to go over there to have fun." ”
After carrying the stone carving into the guest room, Yi Yang enthusiastically kept Sun Shangwu for dinner, the other party could be regarded as a great favor to him just now, if it wasn't for Sun Shangwu, an experienced bargaining master, how could he take it for five thousand yuan, besides, it was also the other party who took them to find it.
So Yi Yang and the others took Sun Shangwu to the hotel's Chinese restaurant for dinner, and after the meal, Sun Shangwu said goodbye and left, while Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao returned to the guest room.
"Brother Yi Yang, the chassis of this stone carving you bought is still good, although it is damaged, you can't see its original appearance clearly, but it can be seen from some local carving patterns that the carving of things is very good."
After returning to the guest room, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao admired the fragment of the stone carving again, and Bai Wenchao expressed his opinion.
This Yi Yang had already noticed that if it weren't for the traces of high-grade carvings in the stone carvings, then how could he be so attentive.
If it's just a shoddy stone carving, it's useless to restore it perfectly.
Although he doesn't know much about stone carving, he also knows that judging the value of a stone carving mainly depends on two aspects, one is the texture of the stone carving materials, and the other is the carving work, both of which are indispensable and very important.
At present, although the material of this stone carving is only the general Shoushan stone, it cannot be compared with the real "king of stones" Tianhuang stone, but as long as the carving is good and the carving is stylish, it is still very valuable, at least more than the original price of 5,000 yuan.
After cleaning up a bit, Yi Yang moved the stone carving into his room, and he was ready to use his ability to repair it later.
At ten o'clock, Bai Wenchao went into his room to rest, and Yi Yang also got into his room and began to repair the stone carving.
Yi Yang drove the gold wire that had long been active, and after the gold wire was shot out, it turned into countless sparks in an instant, and under the shroud of the rapidly rotating Mars, soon, a cloud of phantom was separated from the stone carving, and almost at the same time, there were several more clouds of phantom out of thin air, and the phantoms swirled around each other, turning faster and faster.
Finally, the virtual shadows are spliced together to form a complete stone carving.
A miracle happened in an instant, and the original dilapidated stone sculpture was transformed into a complete piece.
The true face of Lushan has been revealed, and there are still many things missing from the original stone carving, and now the missing part has been made up.
In addition to the restored rockery, there is also a dragon coiled on the carved pedestal, and a tiger lying horizontally, lifelike.
"Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger Stone Carving?! This...... This is the best Shoushan stone carving! ”
At first sight, Yi Yang was pleasantly surprised.
