"Mr. He, how is this kettle?"
After He Qing looked at it carefully for a while, Ah Wen asked.
He Qing replied solemnly: "The thing is very good, it is a one-glance goods, and it is very open." ”
"Oh, really?" Hearing He Qing's praise as soon as he opened his mouth, Ah Wen was suddenly overjoyed, and said with a smile, "I won't tell you, this kettle was not received by me, but my neighbor's, it was picked up from a farmer's house when Uncle Huang went to Shaanxi and Western on a business trip more than ten years ago, they have been collecting it, and they have never considered selling it, and their family was not short of money before, but now they are facing a dilemma and urgently need to raise money." ”
"Why?" He Qing asked casually.
Ah Wen sighed and said: "Uncle Huang is seriously ill, it is liver cancer, but fortunately, it is early stage, and surgery can be performed, but their family has always been very poor, and they have to send their two children to college, which is a very big burden, where can I make up so much surgery fees for a while?" But this operation is very important, and it may even be related to the life and death of Uncle Huang, so naturally the sooner it is done, the better. ”
"That's a real rush." After listening, He Qing nodded.
Ah Wen continued: "Their family is raising money by smashing pots and selling iron, and his wife knows that I usually play with some antiques, so she asked me to take out this kettle for appraisal and sell it at a better price. I looked for some familiar friends before, but they were not optimistic, saying that the thing was a teapot, very ordinary folk kiln porcelain, which could not be sold for a few dollars, and a few people made a bid, but at most three thousand yuan, and Aunt Zhang repeatedly explained that it could not be sold cheaply, she said that the thing was a national treasure, and her husband liked it very much! So I didn't sell it for them, thanks to Sister Lan for introducing you, the great appraiser, to us, and I have the opportunity to ask you to help with the appraisal. ”
"You're polite, just learn from each other." He Qing shook his head very modestly and said.
"Mr. He, just now you said that this kettle is very open, so do you mean that my friends who are more laymen have lost their eyes? Actually, things don't stop at that price, do they? Arwen then asked again.
"Yes, it's open!" He Qing nodded and said, "The age of the East and West is very old, it has a history of thousands of years. Your friends should have underestimated its collectible value, how could it be worth three thousand dollars? It's such an old antique, why does it have to be sold for tens of thousands, right?! ”
"Can you sell more than 10,000?! That's pretty good! Arwen said with a smile.
"I'm an estimate, and I don't know exactly how much it's worth, because it's rare to see anything like this." He Qing said frankly, although he knew that the porcelain in the shape of the kettle was old, but after all, he had limited knowledge and did not know much about porcelain.
"Mr. He, what is the origin of this porcelain? What kind of porcelain does it belong to? From which kiln? Arwen asked repeatedly.
"It should be something from the Yaozhou kiln, right?" At this moment, Lin Haitao, who was sitting quietly and carefully inspecting the kettle, replied first, "This is Yaozhou celadon." The thing is well made and very delicate, and I estimate that it will cost more than 10,000 yuan. ”
When he heard Lin Haitao's answer, He Qing seemed to understand something, and his face was stunned.
He knew that Yaozhou kiln was one of the famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, and it was a famous production area of Chinese ceramic firing in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty further reached its peak and became the largest kiln system in China's "six kiln systems", and its products became the representative of northern celadon.
The kiln site of Yaozhou porcelain firing is located in Shaanxi and Western Provinces, and this porcelain was found in a certain place in Shaanxi and Western China, which is very consistent.
If it hadn't been mentioned by Lin Haitao, He Qing wouldn't have thought of it for a while, because there are too many varieties of ancient porcelain, and there are all kinds of them, if they are not carefully studied, it is really difficult to distinguish.
Because there are many similarities in the glaze color and shape of many different types of porcelain, the layman is often not sure about this aspect.
"Haitao is right, this is Yaozhou porcelain, which is estimated to be from the Northern Song Dynasty." He Qing then added, "It is indeed beautifully done, and I tell you that this is not a teapot, nor is it an ordinary kettle, but a kind of toy utensil, which is equivalent to today's toys, and has the nature of toys at that time." ”
"Is that so? Isn't that more precious? The more Awen listened, the happier he became, and he said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Mr. He, can you help set a price?" Uncle Huang's family is really in need of money to support his expensive medical bills now. ””
He Qing pondered for a moment and said, "About thirty or forty thousand." ”
He did estimate the price, and he didn't hide it at all, because he really didn't know what the market of this kind of more magical kettle was, 30,000 yuan might be too high, or it might be too low.
"Well, about that price." Lin Haitao also said, "After all, porcelain of this shape is relatively common, and many people have it in their hands but can't sell it, or they can't sell it at a good price, which belongs to the unpopular collection of porcelain." Is it rare to see porcelain such as kettles at large auctions? Most are jars, bottles, and plates, etc. ”
"Thirty or forty thousand, that's about the same!" Ah Wen said happily, "If you can sell it at this price, Aunt Zhang will be satisfied, right?" It's just that I still can't find a buyer. Mr. He, can you help me to the end? You know so many friends in the collecting world, and everyone believes in you, if you help me recommend this kettle, then someone will love it. ”
He looked at He Qing pleadingly, full of anticipation.
"That's not a problem." He Qing nodded without hesitation and agreed.
Ah Wen is not wrong at all, with his current connections and fame, it is naturally easy to recommend a piece of porcelain.
But it's only thirty or forty thousand yuan, and he doesn't need to bother with it, so he paused and said, "Awen, why don't you do this?" Since Uncle Huang is in such urgent need of money, then I want this porcelain, and I will give him 50,000 yuan, what do you think? ”
He should have done a good deed, as the saying goes, "help the emergency does not help the poor", Awen's neighbor is in urgent need of funds for surgery, so if he can support it, he will support it.
Although he and Uncle Huang's family have never known each other, and they have never even met each other, this is related to a human life, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and doing good deeds can always accumulate a little merit.
Moreover, that piece of Yaozhou kiln porcelain is really good, and it still has a certain collection value.
In fact, He Qing was more interested in the wonderful use of that porcelain from the beginning.
"Of course!" Arwen said in surprise, "If you are willing to accept it, it would be great!" Mr. He, you are such a good person, I don't even know how to thank you! Uncle Huang's family should be able to operate after raising this money, right? ”
He Qing shook his head lightly and said, "You're welcome, it's just a small thing." ”
The two didn't say anything at the moment, and the deal was finalized smoothly.
So far, they have done a total of three business, and later He Qing handed over the check for 50,000 yuan to Ah Wen, who was grateful.
After making the transaction, Xiaojing and Arwen happily took the check and left the café saying goodbye.
"He Qing, you are so generous, I have never seen you think so much about the seller, others try to push down the price when they buy things, but you raise the transaction price instead."
After Xiaojing and the others walked away, Cai Weilan said with a smile.
He Qing said solemnly: "The situation is just different. I just appraised things for them at first, of course I had to tell the truth, and Uncle Huang's kettle, because his family was so anxious to use money, what was there to help? ”
"Well, nothing, but few people think about it that way." Cai Weilan nodded.
At this moment, there was a strange look in her eyes as she stared at He Qing, as if she had a new understanding of the other party.
After sitting in the café for a while, He Qing left with Cai Weilan and Lin Haitao.
After that, they returned to the hotel with a few things they received, and after putting the things away, He Qing invited Cai Weilan to dinner, because he promised to invite the other party's guests, this time he had such a big receipt, and he received a large amount of money from Mr. Fang's family, which is naturally worth celebrating.
They all ate well at this meal, and after the meal, Cai Weilan chatted with He Qing and them for a long time, and then drove back to the club.
After sending Cai Weilan away, it happened that Zheng Lao and Deng Lao came back from running errands outside.
"Master, I received a few more things from Haitao and I just now, I'm a little unsure, can you help us take a look?" When he saw Zheng Lao and them, He Qing said solemnly.
It is true that he does not have a very good grasp of the two pieces of porcelain he just received, and he cannot judge their specific collection value, so it is necessary to ask Zheng Lao and them for advice.
Although he now has a strong ability, he can make a specific judgment on antiques, but this is still far from enough for antique appraisal, if you want to become a real master, you have to be clear about every detail, you can't ignore the real appraisal knowledge, and he just started with Zheng Lao, there are still many places to learn.
"What's not to do?" Zheng Lao said with a smile, "Xiaohe, didn't you go to the Public Security Bureau to attend the press conference today?" How did you find something? ”
He Qing replied: "I happened to meet a friend, she introduced me to two buyers, and seeing that the things in their hands were not bad, I took them back, but I don't know if I missed it or missed it." ”
Zheng Lao hurriedly said: "With your eyesight, it must have been a leak." ”
"That's for the best, hopefully it's good." He Qing said, "Master, let's go to the room and have a look." ”
"yes, okay." Elder Zheng nodded without hesitation and agreed.
So the four of them hurried to the guest room where He Qing was staying.
As soon as he walked into the room, He Qing took out his things and asked Zheng Lao for them to identify.
The first thing he took out for identification was the kettle produced in the Yaozhou kiln.
For some reason, as soon as they saw the kettle, Zheng Lao and Deng Lao's faces changed greatly.
"Xiaohe, where did you get this thing from?!" Zheng Lao was shocked and said, "This is Yaozhou porcelain, which is one of the backflow pots, the most famous porcelain type!" If this thing is aged, it is invaluable! This kind of backflow pot is very rare, I used to go to Shaanxi, the west of the side to receive, but did not receive ah, what I saw are very rough fakes, the Northern Song Dynasty at that time has been extinct outside, on the Shaanxi, West Museum has one, that is a national treasure! However, in 2007, Sotheby's auctioned a backflow pot from Yaozhou kiln for more than 660,000 US dollars, but it was very rough and too far worse than this pot. A pot sells for more than $600,000, which is very expensive, isn't it?! I estimate that the fine backflow pot in the Shaanxi and Western museums will cost millions of dollars, and it will be tens of millions of yuan in exchange for Grén yuan, right?! But that's not going to sell, you can only admire! ”
"Backward pot?!" Hearing Zheng Lao say that excitedly, He Qing was shocked, he had never heard of this kind of kettle before, but he quickly understood, only that this name was very consistent with the characteristics of porcelain.
And what surprised him the most was the price of this kind of backflow pot, a shoddy one can be sold for millions, and the fine product can reach a sky-high price of tens of millions, but when he received it from Awen, it only cost a mere 50,000 yuan, and in the blink of an eye, its price has risen more than a thousand times!
