Chapter Seventy-Six: It's All Big Fools
Tang Wei saw that the atmosphere was not quite right, so she also reached out and pulled Li Xiaoning, and said softly: "Xiaoning, don't talk nonsense, Boss Hu is my old friend, and he won't fool me with fake things."
Li Xiaoning smiled and said, "Boss Hu may not have fooled us, after all, this thing was only received by him." But this thing is really not right. ”
"Okay, okay. I've got you covered. Boss Hu stood up helplessly, "Wait a minute." With that, he turned around and went back to the counter and pulled out a piece of paper. Then he walked back, put the paper in front of Li Xiaoning, and said, "Look at it." This is an appraisal, I'm afraid that you will say that something is wrong, and I specially found a formal institution to do a high-tech appraisal, and this porcelain is indeed from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. ”
Li Xiaoning didn't look at the appraisal book, and said to himself: "Did you scrape some end from the bottom of the pot and then do the appraisal?" ”
"Of course." Boss Hu snorted and said, "Other places are glazed, how to scrape?" Even if it can be scraped, it will destroy the glaze, and it will be worthless. Let's take a look at the appraisal first. ”
Li Xiaoning smiled and said, "I don't have to read it, I believe this appraisal is true." ”
"And what else do you say?" Boss Hu was a little confused.
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly and said: "This appraisal can only prove that the bottom of the pot is right, but not that the pot is right." ”
Tang Wei's brows also furrowed, "Xiaoning, I don't understand what you said, why is the bottom of the pot right, and the pot is not right?" ”
Li Xiaoning didn't answer Tang Wei, but smiled directly at Boss Hu: "Boss Hu should understand, right?" ”
"If you don't want it, forget it. I'll have other guests to greet later. As he spoke, Boss Hu stood up and walked into the back room.
"Hey...... Boss Hu ......, "Tang Wei still didn't react to what was going on, and when she saw Boss Hu leaving angrily, she wanted to persuade her." Li Xiaoning had already reached out and grabbed her, "Sister Wei, let's go." ”
"I can't go. Let's go, what should I give away? Tang Wei was a little confused.
"If you leave Zhang Butcher, you have to eat hairy pigs?" Li Xiaoning pulled Tang Wei out, and said with a smile, "This is an antique street, some are treasures, as long as you have money, you can't buy good things?" ”
Tang Wei had no choice but to follow Li Xiaoning out of "Bo Gu Xuan", and then said, "What happened just now? I'm a little confused, you also said that the firm certificate is real, how can you say that the pot is not real? ”
Li Xiaoning smiled and said: "This is actually a more common fraud method used in antique shops, called picking up the old guy." The bottom of the pot is indeed old, but the body of the pot is new, and it is connected. ”
"What else can you do?" Tang Wei's eyes were full of surprise, "So, Xiaoning, do you really know the antique industry?" ”
"I understand a little!" Li Xiaoning said with a smile.
"Poor mouth!" Tang Wei punched Li Xiaoning, but her eyes were full of smiles, and her hands were very gentle.
As Li Xiaoning said, Yanjing Antique Street is different from other antique streets, there are good things here, but the price is not cheap at all. After turning half a street, Li Xiaoning took a fancy to a few pieces of porcelain, but when he asked the price, none of them were less than 500,000.
When he was worried, a few things on a stall attracted Li Xiaoning's attention. There were three general jars, all of which were thick and thick, one blue and white, and two pure red.
The blue and white one is bright and deep in color, and the color is dark blue; The whole body of the jar is decorated with blue and white flowers, and the lid is painted with peony, bluegrass and boulder patterns, the neck is decorated with floral patterns, and the neck and shoulders are decorated with string patterns. The abdomen is painted with peony flowers and birds, stubborn stone patterns, the branches are vigorous, the flowers and leaves are luxuriant, and the birds look up and their tails, as if they are chirping loudly. The carcass is white, the glaze is smooth, and the white is slightly bluished. The ornamentation is lively and full of life. The blue and white blue is gray, with the effect of ink painting, which makes people love it. It's a good thing.
The two pure red ones are a pair at first glance, both of them are straight-mouthed, short-necked, plump shoulders, bulging belly, and skimming; The shape is full, the whole is like a general wearing armor, the shape is stable and upright, powerful and strong. But the whole body is painted red, and even the bottom is covered with a full board, and this red paint looks like modern chemical paint, which is clearly a new object.
Li Xiaoning squatted down, first picked up the blue and white jar, looked at it carefully, and then put the jar down, and found that there was a blue and white double-circle regular script at the bottom "Daming Hongwu Year" six-character paragraph, the font was dignified and neat, strong and powerful. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly.
After putting down the blue and white jar, Li Xiaoning picked up a red jar and looked at it, wiped it on the jar with his fingers, and then put it down as well.
"Do you see clearly?" The stall owner waited for Li Xiaoning to finish reading before he spoke, "The serious official kiln porcelain was still made by Zhu Yuanzhang. The Guigu Xiashan Jar, which sold for more than 200 million, was not a few years earlier than it. Do you want? Cheaper for you. ”
Li Xiaoning snorted and said, "What you said is so scary, I don't dare to ask the price!" ”
"Don't mind!" Seeing that Li Xiaoning was interested, the boss hurriedly stood up and said, "That's the price in the auction house." I'm cheap here. ”
Li Xiaoning pursed his lips and glanced at the blue and white jar a few more times, before rubbing his nose and asking, "How much is cheap?" ”
"Five hundred thousand!" The boss stretched out a hand and said generously.
"It's too expensive to afford." Li Xiaoning shook his head again and again and said. As he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave.
"Don't go, brother." The boss hurriedly grabbed Li Xiaoning and said, "The price is still negotiable, you can pay back the price, I'll listen." ”
Li Xiaoning glanced at the blue and white jar again, twitched his cheeks vigorously, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Five thousand." ”
"Ahem...... Ahem......" came a crisp cough behind him.
Li Xiaoning turned around and found a tall girl in a black down jacket and big sunglasses standing behind her.
Before Li Xiaoning could speak, the stall owner had already rushed to the girl and said, "You, what do you mean?" ”
"I don't mean anything. The wind was strong, and I just coughed twice. The girl said with an innocent expression.
The boss said impatiently, "Cough somewhere else." Don't delay me in doing business. ”
"Hey, you don't even let you cough here? The chengguan is not as domineering as you. "The girl looked quiet, but she didn't want to be a sharp-tongued master.
The boss frowned and said, "You delayed my business, do you know?" ”
"You sell yours, I cough mine, what's in your way? Really. The girl wouldn't give an inch.
"Okay, okay. Good men don't fight with women, and I don't have the same knowledge as you. The boss shook his head helplessly, he saw that although the girl was dressed relatively simply, she was a famous brand, and he knew that she was definitely not the master to be messed with.
"Hey, hey, are you done arguing?" Li Xiaoning said impatiently beside him, "How about the boss?" Five thousand for sale or not? ”
"The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people." The girl stomped her foot in hatred and turned away.
"What does she mean?" Li Xiaoning deliberately pretended not to understand and asked the stall owner.
"She's insane, you don't have to pay attention to her, brother. Five thousand is really too low, not to mention the official kiln porcelain, and the private kiln can't buy it. The stall owner said with a bitter face.
"You mean a little more?" Li Xiaoning said hesitantly.
"A little more, a little more." The boss said with a grin.
Tang Wei couldn't help it beside her, she pulled Li Xiaoning's sleeve, leaned close to him and whispered in his ear: "That girl seems to have seen something, you better be careful, don't be deceived." ”
Li Xiaoning smiled slightly, shook Tang Wei's hand vigorously, and said, "Don't worry." I know it. After speaking, he shouted at the boss: "Then add another 1,000 or 6,000 yuan to you." ”
"Oh, I said brother, six thousand is too little." The boss said with a crying expression, "Yes, seeing that you really want it, I will make you a friend and sell it to you at a loss." 100,000 yuan, take it! ”
"Eight thousand, that's the highest price. If you sell it, you will sell it, and if you don't sell it, I will leave. Li Xiaoning said with a resolute face.
"Not really." The boss continued to look like a dead lady, "At least 50,000." ”
"Hey, it seems that it still doesn't work." Li Xiaoning sighed, turned to Tang Wei and said, "Sister Wei, let's go." ”
"Let's go, eight thousand will definitely not be able to buy it." The boss sat back in his chair.
Li Xiaoning took Tang Wei's hand and walked unhurriedly, she couldn't see anything on her face, but she was muttering in her heart, why hasn't Nima asked me to go back?
Finally, after Li Xiaoning and the others walked out for twenty meters, the stall owner couldn't sit still, stood up and shouted: "Brother, come back, discuss again." ”
Li Xiaoning walked more calmly and powerfully, with a calm smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly trotted to catch up with Li Xiaoning and them, stomped his foot fiercely and said, "Forget it, I don't even want the capital today, just to open a show." Ten thousand, for you. ”
Li Xiaoning shook his head and said, "That jar is eight thousand at most, and ten thousand is enough to buy your three jars." ”
"Okay, 10,000 yuan, you can take all three jars." The boss suddenly became very happy.
"That's what I said, what do I want you to do with those two broken jars? Can't you take it home and pickle it? Li Xiaoning said with a wry smile.
"Brother, you're not authentic like this." The stall owner turned his face and said, "We are all big men, one is one, and the spit can smash a hole in the ground." You just said, 10,000 yuan to buy my three jars, red mouth and white teeth, don't wait to regret it! ”
"Okay, okay." Li Xiaoning said helplessly, "It's me who is not good, I admit it." 10,000 pieces, three jars, let's pack it. ”
