Chapter 9 Master Zhu who swears to be true
"Donald, whose phone is it?" Donald has a very high status in Haishi's collection circle, not only because of his sharp eyes, but also because of the background behind him that people can't see and touch, and among the few people seat, only Wang Jun can ask this directly.
"Hehe, a child I met yesterday is also a novice who has just entered the industry, but he has a good eye and good luck. Yesterday, I bought a trap box for 100 yuan, which contained a medal of the Red Star of the former Soviet Union, which can be regarded as a small leak. Donald said with a smile.
"The Order of the Red Star of the former USSR? Hehe, in the past two years, the collection of medals has risen rapidly, and a Red Star Medal costs about 5,000 yuan, and it has made fifty times the profit from changing hands, and the luck is really good. Jin Mingxuan's boss Qin Lei said with a smile.
Wang Jun was indeed a little envious when he heard it, but he didn't care about going to 5,000 yuan, for him Wang Dashao, there was no difference between 5,000 yuan and 5 yuan, what he cared about was the process of picking up leaks.
"This kid called me just now and said that he had received something interesting for me to see, and I was really looking forward to what this kid could come up with." Donald laughed.
"Hehe, don't care what he can come up with, I just received a few things, and please give me a palm to see if I have been fooled again." Wang Jun said with a smile.
"I know that your kid invited me to come for something, what did you receive this time? If it's the same as the last time, don't take it out. Donald quipped.
Last time, Wang Jun spent 100,000 yuan to buy a vase, saying that it was Yuan Qinghua, thinking that he had picked up a big leak, so he couldn't wait to bring it over to ask Donald to appreciate it.
You must know that some time ago, an auction house in London auctioned the Guiguzi down the mountain blue and white jar, the transaction price was 1,405 pounds, equivalent to more than 200 million yuan, the transaction price of Guiguzi down the mountain stimulated the blue and white porcelain market, and in China it set off a blue and white fever, and as far away as Taiwan's treasure island, there are artists who made a song with blue and white porcelain, and the result was a big hit.
Tang Lao can see at a glance that Wang Dashao's so-called Yuan Qinghua is just a fake, and the workmanship is not fine, and anyone with a little appreciation can see that it is a fake.
Wang Jun's face turned red, and he also knew that this matter had become a laughing stock in the Haishi collecting world, but very few people dared to mention it in person, and Tang Lao was obviously not among them.
"This is something I got on the black market, and I said it was a pit, and it didn't cost much." After Wang Jun finished speaking, he opened a box on the table and pushed it to Donald's side.
The box is full of a pile of jade, if Tang Dashao is here, he will definitely find that there are jade cicadas similar to himself in this pile of jade.
Hearing that it was something from the pit, Donald frowned, seemed to think of something, sighed lightly, and didn't say anything.
Zhuang Hai, the appraiser on the side, seemed to know the reason for Donald's sigh, and said: "If there is demand, there is a market, and the profits of Shengkeng are too big, and most of them are also organized and have backgrounds, and they can't be banned." The state also rarely excavates ancient tombs, first, technical problems, and second, lack of funds, but the damage to ancient tombs caused by these pits is too great. ”
Hearing Zhuang Hai's words, Wang Jun immediately knew why Tang Lao frowned, but there was no way, even if he didn't buy it, someone else would buy it, no matter how powerful a person was, he couldn't dominate the world.
Tang Lao nodded slowly, as if he wanted to open it, gently pinched a jade pendant, and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass, while the appraisers Zhuang Hai and Qin Lei on the side also picked up the magnifying glass and studied the jade in the box in a similar manner.
Donald was extremely serious, even though he knew that these things were all obtained together, he still picked them up one by one and observed, and time passed slowly.
Tang Dashao came to the door of Jin Mingxuan with the picture scroll, Jin Mingxuan did not find two beauties as a welcome guest like Shiji, only a few appraisers and a few guys.
A guy saw Tang Dashao come to Jin Mingxuan with a picture scroll, thinking that the other party was here to sell paintings, and said enthusiastically: "Are you here to identify ancient paintings?" Please follow me. ”
Tang Dashao thought that this was a guy arranged by Donald, so he followed.
"Master Zhu, this is here to identify ancient paintings." The guy walked over to the counter and said to an appraiser in his twenties.
"Oh, bring me the painting." Master Zhu said without raising his head.
Master Zhu, full name Zhu Biao, a graduate student who graduated from a famous university, is more proficient in modern collections, such as watches, diamonds, famous wines, etc., although he is not yet thirty years old, he thinks very highly of himself and likes others to call Master.
It is no wonder that although Zhuang Hai, the chief appraiser of Jin Mingxuan, is very powerful, he is not very proficient in ceramics and calligraphy and painting, but he is not very proficient in modern collections. In order to make up for the shortcomings of this piece, the boss Qin Lei also attaches more importance to him, and the young men naturally want to shout to the master when they are flattered.
Tang Dashao followed behind and didn't figure out what the situation was, didn't he say to go to the second floor?
Master Zhu frowned and raised his head, why is this person who came to identify so slow?
"Hey, do you want an appraisal?" Master Zhu seemed to be a little impatient and shouted.
Tang Dashao was taken aback, and subconsciously handed over the painting, and then felt that something was wrong, didn't he come to the second floor to find Tang Lao? I guess the guy in the store made a mistake, but the other party has already picked up the painting, and he doesn't want to come back directly.
Master Zhu opened the scroll and frowned, what's going on? Did an old lady just come over with this painting? I insist that this is a treasure, and it is very valuable. Joke, is it worth anything, how can she say it?
This painting is modern at a glance, although there are traces of insects on the painting shaft, I'm afraid it's old, I paid 300 yuan, don't you want to sell it? Why did you get it with a young man? Could it be that they think that if they change someone, they will pay a high price?
"Hmph, a post-liberation work, no inscription, the seal is blurred, the painting is sluggish, and the preservation is not proper, if it weren't for the pity of the old lady, I would be too much to collect three hundred yuan, and you would sell it for two hundred at most." Zhu Biao snorted coldly.
Tang Dashao was taken aback by Master Zhu, two hundred yuan? Are you cheating? However, he also knew that the guy who was guarding the door earlier might have made a mistake, so he didn't say anything, reached out and took the painting, turned around and left, trying to find the guy to take him to the second floor.
"Wait, who let you go?" Master Zhu scolded.
Hearing that he was not allowed to leave, coupled with the other party's unkind tone, Tang Dashao suddenly became unhappy, and said with a cold face: "What's the matter?" Jin Mingxuan's store is a big bully, and he still plans to buy and sell by force? ”
Zhu Biao was stunned, the shop bully, he can't afford this big hat, the antique shop will have a good reputation, if the name of the shopkeeper bully spreads, even if the boss takes a fancy to him, I am afraid he will not let him go.
At this time, the customers who were picking up antiques in the store also looked here, and the guy on the side looked wrong, and a clever one had quietly gone up to the second floor.
Zhu Biao scolded secretly, I don't know where I came from.
"Of course not, our Jin Mingxuan is open to do business, and he is a guest when he comes, and he will never be forced to buy and sell, and his reputation in the antique industry in the sea market is well known. It's just that this little brother, you take an ancient painting and let me give it to you, it's a bit inappropriate to leave after the appraisal, at least you have to pay a little for the appraisal fee. Zhu Biao said.
The bunch of things mentioned above are naturally explained to the surrounding guests, indicating that Jin Mingxuan will never force them to buy and sell, and when the surrounding guests hear the reason, they naturally understand it and no longer pay attention to it, Zhu Biao secretly touched a cold sweat, and finally did not leave a bad impression on the guests.
Tang Dashao couldn't help but sneer at Zhu Biao, who felt good about himself, as soon as he entered the door, he didn't say that he wanted to identify anything, everything was what the guy thought was himself.
Of course, Tang Dashao didn't plan to make trouble here, after all, Tang Lao was on the second floor, and he didn't know what he had to do with this store, so it might not be good if it was too stiff.
In line with the principle that more things are better than less, Tang Dashao said: "Okay, how much do you say the appraisal fee." ”
"Calligraphy and painting appraisal, 1,000 yuan." Zhu Biaodao.
After hearing the appraisal fee, Tang Dashao couldn't calm down anymore, not because he couldn't afford the thousand yuan, but because he didn't want to be slaughtered as a Kaizi.
At that moment, Tang Dashao sneered: "Hehe, this painting costs 1,000 yuan for appraisal, and it will only cost you 200 yuan for selling it, so doesn't it mean that I want to give you the painting, and then pour it to you 800?" ”
"Hehe, of course not, the little brother misunderstood, the little brother is surnamed Tang?" At this time, a voice rushed from behind, but it was the boss Qin Lei who was called down by the guy from the second floor.
"How do you know?" Tang Dashao glanced at the other party, he looked like he was in his forties, dressed in formal clothes, with a sleek smile, similar to the business partners Tang Dashao had seen Tang Long in the past.
"Hehe, you're here to find Donald, he's waiting for you on the second floor, you take Mr. Tang to the second floor." Qin Lei glanced at Zhu Biao fiercely, and then pointed to a guy and said.
When Tang Dashao went upstairs, Qin Lei asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The other guy quickly talked about what happened, Qin Lei frowned and said, "Zhu Biao, isn't your major a simple modern collection?" When will it be possible to identify calligraphy and paintings? How did I not know? Don't you say that calligraphy and painting things must be authenticated by Zhuang Lao? ”
The old Zhuang that Qin Lei said was naturally Zhuang Hai, the chief appraiser of Jin Mingxuan.
Zhu Biao heard this, knowing that the boss was a little dissatisfied with his behavior, in the past, he was called Xiao Zhu, indicating closeness, but now even his full name has come out.
So he hurriedly explained: "Didn't Mr. Zhuang and you receive distinguished guests upstairs, I have seen this painting before, it was brought by an old lady, and the old lady has no culture, so she said that this painting is valuable."
But I saw the painting, although there were traces of insects on the painting shaft, which was not well preserved, at most 30 years old, and the painting was sluggish, and the paper was also cooked paper, which was worth 500 yuan at most, and I paid 300 yuan, but the old lady did not sell it.
I saw that he was pitiful and confiscated the appraisal fee, but I didn't expect that less than half an hour later, the young man came over with the painting again. ”
