Chapter 623: The Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties of the Four Bases
A piece of things that I put so much effort and time into creating and thought were high-quality things, but I didn't expect that it would be identified as a fake in less than a cup of tea, and it was because of such a low-level mistake, such a blow was unimaginable for Lao Luo.
"Oh? This chair, are you going to sell it or not? If so, how much does it cost? ”
Seeing Lao Luo's expression as if he had eaten a fly, Jin Muchen suddenly asked him with a smile at this time, and Lao Luo was also stunned when he heard him ask, raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were full of questions.
"Boss, didn't you see at a glance that this skewer was fake? So what are you still selling him for? ”
At this time, Jin Muchen smiled: "Lao Luo, let's put it this way, although your bench looks like a fake." But after all, the carving of this table is still very attentive, you see that most of the carvings on your table are carved by the technique of Han Badao. In this day and age, there are still masters with such skills, but it is not easy to find. And I myself like the simple knife work and carving style of Han Badao. And the materials of your table are not bad, and the shape is also large, so although it is a fake, I think it still has some value. It can't be sold as an antique, but it can be sold as a high-end craft. ”
Hearing Jin Muchen say this, this old Luo's mood immediately improved a lot.
It seems that this boss is really an expert, no wonder Sister Tao is such an arrogant person as willing to bow her head in front of him.
Indeed, this table, although it is a fake. But he put a lot of effort into this fake at the beginning. It's not a lot.
Originally, it was to carve this table. He read a lot of antique pictorials, and specifically looked for the photos of Han Dynasty jade in those pictorials, in order to study the craftsmanship and skills of the Han Dynasty jade on Han Dynasty jade.
After studying the skills, he went to his friend's house to check the Taishi chair of the Ming Dynasty, and then studied the production and installation methods of others, so he came back and started to make this cabinet.
It can be said that this table is a fake. But it's also the pinnacle of his experience over the years.
At this time, being able to be appreciated by a big boss like Jin Muchen was also an acknowledgment of his skills for him, so Lao Luo's heart instantly became much more comfortable.
"Okay, since the boss is that you have taken a fancy to this cabinet, then I won't lie about the price, so I will sell it to you for 1.5 million."
Lao Luo's words were sincere, of course, it was impossible to say that this chair didn't make a penny. It's definitely going to make some money, but that's the price for this chair. It's not an exaggeration.
After all, this whole table is all made of Russia's top jasper, although there are traces of fraud behind, but this material is good material after all.
In addition, it is said that the carving on this cabinet, this is also very remarkable, in the Han Dynasty, there are not many jade masters who can master the skills of the Han Eight Knife, and in modern times, there are even fewer people who master this skill.
After all, in an age like this, there are really few people who can devote themselves to this craft.
And Lao Luo was able to spend so much effort on this cabinet, and he didn't know how many dragon patterns he had carved with the skills of Han Badao, and his intentions at this point alone were worth the price.
Therefore, Jin Muchen also felt that the price of this Lao Luo's cabinet was 1.5 million, which was really not expensive.
"Okay, at this price, deal!"
Jin Muchen stretched out his big hand with a smile, and Lao Luo hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake him hard.
Although this table is a fake, it was seen by others, but it was not in vain, although it was not sold, the high price he imagined, but it was not a loss, and the transaction was not a loss.
At this time, Sister Tao on the other side also picked out a lot of good things from under Lao Luo's counter.
Sister Tao took those things and asked Lao Luo to see how much it was, but Lao Luo didn't look at them at all.
"Sister Tao, you can give 10,000 yuan for these things."
Sister Tao picked a total of more than 30 pieces of jade, these jades are all highly imitated fake ancient jade with very exquisite workmanship, and they are all the kind that can be faked and real.
Such a high-imitation fake ancient jade, usually when someone comes to Lao Luo to buy it, just one piece, it is not cheap, and it will definitely be able to buy a thousand, or even tens of thousands.
But at this time, what he gave Sister Tao was a jumping handsome man, all 30 yuan, and 10,000 yuan, it can be said that he didn't make money at all, and he was even suspected of losing money.
How could Sister Tao be happy in her heart, she hurriedly shook her head firmly and said: "Lao Luo, this is not good, although we have a good relationship, we can't do this business......"
But before she could finish speaking, Lao Luo raised his hand violently to stop her from continuing to speak.
"Sister Tao didn't say that, to be a man to know gratitude, this is the principle that my dead old man taught me. If it weren't for you back then, Xia Mei and I would never have come together at all, and it would have been impossible for us to live a life like today. So everything we do today, it can be said that you gave it, now your situation is more special, you will go to the United States to start a business in the future, and you are also anxious to use money, if I ask you for money again at this time, then am I still human? So today's these things can only be at this price, Sister Tao, don't fight with me, if you are fighting, I will be angry. We can't do our business. ”
This old Luo doesn't look at drinking, he likes to show off and brag, but when it is critical, he is still very clear.
Especially his remarks, it can be heard that this is a guy who values feelings, and Jin Muchen looked down on this guy even more at this time.
This guy doesn't look at the usual cheating and cheating people, it's very disdainful, but in terms of his friends, he is really much better than many well-dressed guys.
This Lao Luo's words have basically sealed Sister Tao's words, and when Sister Tao saw that Lao Luo's attitude was so resolute, it was not good to say anything more.
could only nod silently, put those things down, and then left 10,000 yuan for Lao Luo.
As soon as Lao Luo saw that Sister Tao had accepted his things, a happy smile immediately leaked from his face, and then he led Sister Tao and Jin Muchen, who had chosen things, back to the ground directly.
Xia Mei had been waiting for a long time on it, and when she saw them coming up, she hurriedly beckoned them to come in for tea.
Originally, Jin Muchen and Sister Tao planned to stay in the hotel at night, but Sister Xia and Lao Luo said that they would not agree to anything, and insisted on leaving them at home.
The two of them couldn't get along with each other, and in the end they could only agree to someone's kind invitation.
In the evening, at Lao Luo's house, I enjoyed a dinner again, they carefully prepared a dinner, and then Sister Tao and Sister Xia held hands even more, there were endless words, Lao Luo pulled Jin Muchen to drink endlessly, this time Jin Muchen also had a rare relaxation, and enjoyed a good meal and favor in the central part of the country.
After waking up the next day, Lao Luo and Xia Mei had already prepared breakfast for them, and the two had a full meal at Lao Luo's house.
Lao Luo even got them a Jinbei van that he didn't know how many hands he had, packed the jade shelf, and put it on the van.
Everything was ready, Jin Muchen and Sister Tao said goodbye to Lao Luo and his wife, and then embarked on the journey north.
But this time, their destination was Henan Province, not directly home.
And this time to Henan Province, it is also Sister Tao's meaning, according to her, if she wants to gain a firm foothold in North America, she can't rely on the more than 30 fake jade pieces from Lao Luo, and she needs something that can calm the scene.
For example, some high-imitation bone china, or some pottery, these things are quite popular among the people in North America.
And Sister Tao only told Jin Muchen for the first time about the key areas of domestic fake antique manufacturing, such as fake ancient porcelain, the first choice is of course the porcelain capital, but because Sister Tao used to go there often, and there were many people, she was afraid that she would miss her whereabouts over there, so she didn't go this time.
But in addition to the porcelain capital, there are actually several large-scale ancient porcelain counterfeiting bases in China, such as Chao@zhou in eastern Guangdong where they have been before, but because of the changes of the times, the counterfeiting workshops have basically been cut off.
But it doesn't matter, because in the north, there are many bases, such as the most famous of them is the eastern capital of southern Henan, or the dragon @ spring in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these two places are as famous as the previous two places, and the ancient porcelain counterfeiting is very low.
Long @ Quan's side, Sister Tao doesn't plan to go, the reason is the same as not going to porcelain, she used to go to that place often, there are too many people who know her, and now that she has no backstage, it is inevitable that someone will make her bad.
Therefore, the porcelain capital and the dragon @ spring can't go, so now they only have one place to go, and that is the eastern capital of southern Henan.
The city is also an ancient city with a history and civilization, and now it is also a famous tourist city, with the reputation of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
But this time they came here, not for tourism, but to buy some high-quality imitation ancient porcelain.
Although Sister Tao has never been here before, she has also crossed paths with people here.
According to her, when she was doing the underground antique business in Xiangjiang, one year a stunned young man from the north came to Xiangjiang to test the water with a batch of fakes, but because of the dissatisfaction of the underground world of Xiangjiang, in the end, the big guy joined forces and used various means to trap the guy back.
And it was at that time, when that person was most dangerous, Sister Tao stretched out her hand to pull him and sent him back to the mainland in person, that is, at that time, she got in touch with the people from the eastern capital of southern Henan. (To be continued.) )
