0050 Beast Face Ding
You can see the trade of bronzes in public, so there are naturally more transactions in private, so many collectors in the world, who doesn't have two bronzes in their hands? Of course, regardless of the actual origin, these bronzes are verbally inherited.
The bronze ware placed in the basement of Fengjun Mountain is a tripod, a three-legged folded ear beast face pattern tripod. The mouth is slightly constricted, folded, and the abdomen of the round mouth is slightly drooping, and the round base is three-legged, and the three legs are cylindrical footholds, and a pair of folded ears stand on the edge of the mouth. The ornamentation is mainly concentrated in the abdomen of the tripod, divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts are geometric-shaped crests, and the crests are opposite to each other in a group of groups around the tripod abdomen.
Under the kui pattern is a large animal face pattern, with the rib of the belly as the nose as the middle line, the other patterns to both sides of the symmetrical expansion, the big horn square fold inward, with a round convex beast eye, in the form of high relief table xiàn out, extremely eye-catching and prominent, with full of cloud and thunder patterns, so that some abstract animal face patterns look majestic and domineering, very infectious.
Zhou Ming subconsciously approached the beast face pattern Ding and looked at it seriously, the pattern on the Ding's body was very clear, and with obvious pulp, very moist, and the abdomen was less green rust, obviously unearthed for a long time and often played with it. Dingzu is a little green rust, but it is not strict, but the pieces are more like green armor, layer by layer of depth and order, obviously naturally formed.
Looking at the specifications and style of the pattern, this is obviously the utensils used by the nobles of the Shang Dynasty, but unfortunately there is no inscription on the entire tripod, otherwise in the quality of this big tripod, it is at least more than 10 million, but now, it is estimated that it is worth about four million.
"Hehe, my brother has good eyesight, and he has taken a fancy to my most proud treasure at a glance," Feng Junshan stood at the door with a smug smile, "Look at the origin of this ding?" ”
"Test me?" Zhou Ming smiled, raised his eyebrows, and slowly said his speculation without hurrying.
Zhou Zhou Ming said slowly here, and Feng Junshan's mouth over there was also a little bit of the boss, and after Zhou Zhou Ming finished speaking, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Admire, admire, I checked so much information and consulted so many masters before I finally dared to be sure that this was something from the Shang Dynasty, but I didn't expect you to know the answer after just a few glances, brother." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming grinned silently, joking, after receiving the gift from the old Taoist, he was almost equivalent to an appraiser who was skilled in antiques, how could he be stumped here? Zhou Zhou Ming even doubted whether there was any knowledge of antiques that he didn't know, because he found that he could talk about any antique he could take, and he knew a lot of related knowledge.
Zhou Ming also secretly doubted how the old Taoist priest gave him this piece of information, because no matter how you look at it, the breadth and profundity of this information are not at all what one person or one book can carry, either the old Taoist priest gathered all the relevant books together, or extracted the relevant memories of countless appraisers together.
But no matter what, Zhou Ming only needs to know that this is a priceless wealth, and what he has to do is to make good use of this precious gift, according to the words of the old Taoist priest, he is in Baoshan Mo Konghui, and do not let down this huge flow of antique knowledge.
Of course, Zhou Ming doesn't have any big ambitions, it's enough to eat and drink without worrying about finding a beautiful girlfriend, there are really not many pursuits in other aspects, in his opinion, there is no ideal that can be stronger than living a peaceful and happy life.
But you can't say this, you just need to know it, and it seems superficial to talk about it every day.
Talking and laughing with Feng Junshan, he looked at all the collections in the basement one by one, Zhou Zhou Ming shook his head from time to time but nodded but didn't say anything directly, and only after reading it did he say meaningfully, "Brother Feng, you didn't spend less money." ”
When Feng Junshan heard this, his heart was broken, it was not that he spent less money, but that he spent money in vain. Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Brother, there are a lot of fakes?" ”
Zhou Ming nodded, "Almost two-thirds." ”
Even if he was mentally prepared, Feng Junshan couldn't help but pat his forehead vigorously, "It's a big loss, it's a big loss, it's really a lot of money...... "There was a smile on his face as he spoke, and he said to Zhou Zhou with a shy face: "Brother, can you help me point out which ones are fakes?" ”
Zhou Ming smiled and asked, "Do you really want me to point it all out?" That would be half empty. ”
Zhou Ming's meaning is actually very clear, that is, to ask Feng Junshan whether he resolutely threw away the fakes or said to keep them as a thought or something, these fakes were also collected at a high price, and many people were reluctant to throw them away after knowing that they were fakes, and even some people deceived themselves and were unwilling to admit that their things were fakes.
That's why Zhou Ming asked this question.
However, Feng Junshan is obviously not the kind of person who can deceive himself, so he shook his head with a wry smile, "Brother, although I am also very distressed, but I can't rub the sand in my eyes, if you don't help me pick it out, I guess I won't want to sleep at night in the future." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming nodded sympathetically, he also thought so, in other words, he learned that there were fakes in his collection, and he would definitely not stop if he didn't find out, "This is not a small amount of work," Zhou Zhou Ming said and pointed to the painting hanging on the wall directly above the Shang Dynasty beast face pattern in the center of the room, "Take this off first, a mid-grade imitation." ”
"Really?" When Feng Junshan heard Zhou Ming say this, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked.
Monday raised his eyebrows, "Reluctantly?" ”
Feng Junshan's face was a little ugly, and with a wry smile, he made a chair and walked over, stood up and took off the painting himself, sighed and shook his head reluctantly, "Alas, I'm really reluctant, in fact, I've always liked this painting very much, but I didn't expect it...... Brother, when you say that, I'm really reluctant. ”
Zhou Zhou Ming chuckled and said casually: "Then keep it, if you simply like this painting, what does it matter if it's true or not?" It can be hung in the living room," he said, and said: "Actually, this painting is very good, but the level of hardware is not very old, so I said that it is a medium imitation, if there is a master of aging to deal with it, it can be completely fake." ”
"Really?" Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Feng Junshan rolled up the painting with a smile, "That's good, that's good, it means that I still have some eyesight, hahaha, all these years of hard work in practicing big characters and Chinese painting have not been in vain." ”
Zhou Zhou Ming looked at Feng Junshan in surprise, "Brother Feng also specialized in calligraphy and painting?" ”
Feng Junshan nodded proudly, "After the business is on the right track, I am idle almost every day, just soaking in the store to drink tea and play collection, and then I found a teacher to start learning calligraphy and Chinese painting, hehe, if you want to say that I can't dare to compare with my brother you if you want to appreciate the skills, but this calligraphy and painting skills, after a while, let's have a good discussion." ”
Zhou Ming smiled when he heard this, nodded and didn't speak, but he admired Feng Junshan a little in his heart. To be honest, there are a lot of wealthy businessmen who are engaged in collecting in these years, but after the business is on the right track, I have not heard of a few who specialize in learning calligraphy and painting, because this thing requires real effort.
Looking at Feng Junshan's skills in calligraphy and painting appreciation, since he dares to say that he has made small achievements, then he must have worked hard. To be able to study calligraphy and painting after the year of not being confused, this kind of person no matter how you look at it, is a little bit of a pursuit of a little taste, not the kind of person who doesn't know the height of the sky with two money.
To be honest, Zhou Zhou Ming has only just come into contact with rich people, but when he ran the rivers and lakes before, he also heard about the vulgar taste of many rich people, and he seems to have no other pursuits after being rich, and he specializes in playing with other people for fun, and most of the objects he is played with are young women and big and small stars in the entertainment industry.
The golf incident in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 90s is the most typical example, and now it seems to be much cleaner, but in fact it is not, some rich people play more excessively than before, but most of the female participants have changed from forced to voluntary, such as Russian roulette, eel and other tricks, ordinary people can't think of it.
So after Zhou Zhou Ming learned that Feng Junshan had spent hard work to practice calligraphy and painting, he was indeed a little surprised, even if Feng Junshan was used for show or vassal elegance, as long as he had this mind and put it into action, it was worthy of admiration.
However, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't say anything, just when he was helping Feng Junshan pick out fakes, he added a link to explain, what is wrong, what aspects to start appreciating after encountering them, etc., and the reason is that it depends on Feng Junshan's sincerity, if it is under normal circumstances, he is too lazy to say so much, and he doesn't care about picking out all these fakes.
An additional link was added, but the time spent was increased several times, and it was not until more than seven o'clock in the evening that all the fakes were given out to the conditions, and the two security guards went back and forth several times, and finally a small half of the house was densely piled up in a utility room, and the basement storage room was suddenly empty.
Looking at the somewhat empty storage room, Zhou Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction, "It's pretty much the same, it's like a collection room, and your previous one can only be regarded as a grocery room, hahaha." ”
Feng Junshan's old face turned red and shook his head again and again, "Let my brother see you smile, take a walk, wash your hands and prepare to eat, hehe, Xiaoyu will cook in person today, we will have a good mouth." ”
There were already two cold dishes and a small pot of egg drop soup plates on the dining table in the restaurant, and when she saw two people coming in, Xiaoyu greeted with a smile: "Brother Zhou, sit down, Brother Shan is really busy, he didn't let you have a sip of tea and worked all afternoon." ”
Zhou Ming smiled and was not polite, closed his sleeves and sat down.
Feng Junshan smiled and scooped a piece of egg drop soup for Zhou Ming, "Come on, come on, moisten your throat first," and then ran to the kitchen to help serve the food.
The dishes are not very rich, two hot and two cold plus a soup, the taste is really good, but when he saw a small basket of staple food brought out by Xiaoyu from the kitchen, his eyes suddenly straightened.
