Chapter 389: The First Teapot in the World (II)

Soon, He Qing met with Master Ding, a friend of Mr. Zheng, who looked to be in his fifties, medium height, very energetic, and spoke very neatly, and knew at a glance that he was the kind of businessman with a shrewd mind.

"What a talent, young and promising!"

After getting to know He Qing, Master Ding exclaimed loudly.

"Master Ding, you have won the prize." He Qing said politely.

Master Ding said in a somewhat excited tone: "What a famous teacher is a high apprentice!" I know all about you, so don't be modest. ”

He Qing smiled slightly and said, "I have today, all of which rely on the cultivation of my master and his old man. Master Ding, listen to my master, you know where the purple clay pot he wants is. ”

He immediately diverted the topic and directly mentioned the thing that Zheng Lao asked him to do, that is, to help collect a purple clay pot.

Master Ding nodded with a smile and said, "I know, of course I know!" Xiaohe, please come and sit with me first, sit down and talk. ”

"yes, okay." He Qing Haosheng agreed.

Then they followed Master Ding to a nearby shop, Pù, which is a purple clay pot specialty store that sells a variety of purple clay pots, all of which are different in color, shape and size.

Although He Qing has no research on purple clay pots and rarely appreciates them, he also knows that there are many collectors who like to play purple clay pots, and Zheng Lao is one of them.

The purple clay pot has always been a collector's item, especially the purple clay pot from the hands of famous artists, which is highly treasured.

In recent years, the purple clay pot collection market has been very hot, and the famous collector's grade purple clay pot has repeatedly hit new highs in the auction market, from hundreds of thousands to millions, and even tens of millions, setting a sky-high transaction record for teapots.

After inviting He Qing and them into the purple clay pot shop, Master Ding warmly served tea to them, and he made a pot of good Longjing tea with his own hands.

"Xiaohe, Lao Zheng should have made this matter clear to you."

When accompanying the guests to taste tea, Master Ding said solemnly: "What he wants is an old purple clay pot, about the middle of the Qing Dynasty, I read it and think that the thing is fine, now I will wait for you to determine." Hehe, you are an expert, your eyesight is excellent, with your help palm eye, then there must be no problem! ”

He Qing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master Ding, you are humble, of course my master can trust you, but he just wants us to bring things back to him along the way." ”

Master Ding smiled: "Then I'm telling the truth, I'm good at selling purple clay pots, but the appraisal of antiques is indeed a layman, and there is no comparison with you big connoisseurs!" I haven't brought that purple clay pot yet, it's in the hands of one of my relatives. When is it convenient for you? If it's convenient, I'll take you to see it, and if you think it's okay, then take it, and I'll definitely give you the best price anyway. ”

"You can go and see it now." He Qing said without hesitation, "We are free this afternoon, but we may have to leave tomorrow." ”

Master Ding hurriedly said, "Then let's go over and look at things later." ”

The two quickly agreed on the matter, but instead of leaving immediately, He Qing chatted with Master Ding about his purple sand shop and its market.

Later, they also visited his purple clay pot store under the leadership of Master Ding, and Master Ding introduced them to some unique purple clay pots, He Qing thought it was very interesting, these things were rarely touched by him before, and today it was an eye-opener.

In the end, He Qing and Bai Wenchao each bought a purple clay pot, and the one they bought was still the most expensive one, and Master Ding was naturally very happy.

After buying the purple clay pot, Master Ding said, "Xiaohe, then let's go over now." I just made a phone call to my relative, who happens to be at home, and they can come over later. ”

"Well, let's go." He Qing nodded in response.

So the four of them, led by Master Ding, drove to the house that sold the old purple clay pot.

The place was located in a relatively remote suburb, a bit far away, and it took He Qing and the others nearly an hour to reach their destination.

The arrival place was an ordinary residential area, and after getting out of the car, Master Ding led them directly to his relative's house.

It didn't take long for them to come to Mr. Xue's house as mentioned by Master Ding.

Mr. Xue's house is very small, but there are many people, and there are several children, which is very chaotic and noisy.

Mr. Xue and his family were very enthusiastic, and when they saw that Master Ding had brought the boss who collected antiques, they hurriedly took out the old purple clay pot that Master Zheng asked for and gave it to He Qing for appraisal.

In fact, before the thing was taken out of the box, He Qing was basically sure that the thing was indeed an old antique, because it emitted a "treasure light", and it was relatively strong.

"Look, young man, the thing is still here, and it hasn't moved at all." Mr. Xue said with a smile, "My uncle also knows about the situation of this purple clay pot in our family, it is an ancestral treasure, and it has been used to make tea, but then I heard that it was an antique, so we didn't dare to use it anymore, for fear of damage." ”

He Qing smiled slightly, nodded with a satisfied expression, and said: "It is indeed necessary to protect it, children don't recognize whether this is a treasure or some other ordinary thing, it is easy to break." However, the purple clay pot has to be used, and it has to be used often, and it is not right to put it on the shelf. Master Ding, do you think I'm right? ”

"Xiaohe, you're so right!" Master Ding nodded vigorously and agreed, "The purple clay pot is raised, just like the jade you wear, the more you raise it, the more spiritual it is, if you put it away, it will be like iron rusting, and it will fade a layer of brilliance." However, their family situation is very special, you have also seen, there are many children, and the cups and dishes do not know how many are broken. ”

He Qing nodded and said, "I can understand this." ”

"Then Xiaohe, what do you think of this purple clay pot?" Master Ding then asked.

An appraisal expert like He Qing at the genius level, whether something is good or bad can basically be determined at a glance.

He Qing said: "The thing should be good, it's an old purple clay pot." ”

"Xiaohe, you really have good eyesight!" Master Ding praised it.

This is the real expert forensics, have a look!

He admired and admired He Qing's self-confidence very much.

"Can I take a good look at it first?" He Qing said.

"Absolutely! Feel free to take a look! Mr. Xue hurriedly agreed, and he was happy to see that He Qing was very optimistic about his family's things.

At that moment, He Qing carefully picked up the purple clay pot and inspected it in detail from the surface and inside, and Lin Haitao was also engrossed in looking at it on the side.

The two exchanged views on the characteristics of the purple clay pot, and according to the two of them, the things were also very well done.

After a routine appreciation, He Qing activated his eye ability to inspect it again.

After watching the ins and outs of things, he was even more sure that the things were, as Master Ding said, were an old antique purple clay pot from the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

"Master Ding, Mr. Xue, I'm done." After carefully putting the teapot down, He Qing said solemnly, "The teapot is fine, I like it too." Mr. Xue, you can make a price. ”

Since it was introduced by a friend that Zheng Lao trusted very much, and the other party was his relative, He Qing was very direct, and the other party should not open his mouth and offer an outrageous price.

Master Ding replied for Mr. Xue: "Xiaohe, the price has actually been set a long time ago, and there is an auction company willing to take over this pot, but it takes a long time from the auction to get the money, so it is not sent to auction." At that time, the auction company's estimate was like this, the starting price was set at about 100,000 yuan, and the final transaction price was estimated to be about 100,000 yuan. Regarding the price of this purple clay pot, I have already talked to Lao Zheng, and our tentative price is the starting price estimated by the auction company, 100,000 yuan. I don't know how you feel about the price, if you have an opinion, you can say it directly, don't worry about anything. Hehe, buying and selling are all negotiated. ”

"One hundred thousand?" He Qing said without thinking, "This price is reliable, no problem, I accept it." ”

"Mr. He, thank you then!" Hearing that the other party agreed to the price very happily, Mr. Xue was surprised and delighted, and excitedly grabbed He Qing's hand and was grateful.

He Qing shook his head and said, "Mr. Xue, what are you thanking me for?" We should thank you for bringing us such a beautiful old purple clay pot. The price is worth it. ”

He was honest and honest.

Master Ding also said happily: "Xiaohe, since you have no opinion, then it's decided." This purple clay pot is 100,000 yuan, now the things can be packed, you bring it back to Lao Zheng, as for the money, just tell him later. ”

He Qing said: "I will give the money to Mr. Xue now, but I can't delay other people's affairs." ”

He could see that Mr. Xue's family was very difficult, there were many people, and 100,000 yuan was nothing for a rich person, but in the eyes of the Xue family, it was a lot of money, and it could come in handy.

"Xiaohe, did you bring the money too?" Master Ding was surprised.

He Qing shook his head and said, "No, I didn't have that much money on me." However, I can write a check, I don't know if Mr. Xue will accept it, it is a cash check, and then take the money directly to the designated bank to get it, if not, then you can also go to the bank together to do a transfer transaction. ”

"What's not to receive?" Master Ding smiled, "Can't we still trust you?" ”

Mr. Xue also nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course the check is no problem!" ”

He Qing was relieved: "That's good." ”

Then he took out the cheque and wrote it, and on it was written in black and white the number of 100,000, not a penny.

When he handed the check to Mr. Xue, he was grateful again.

After getting the money, Mr. Xue hurriedly wrapped the old purple clay pot, and He Qing could take it away at any time.

After getting a beautiful old purple clay pot for Zheng Lao, He Qing and the others were about to say goodbye and leave, and they had to go back to the hotel to make preparations, and they would rush to Xinjiang and Xinjiang tomorrow.

But at this moment, Mr. Xue suddenly beckoned: "Mr. He, do you still accept antiques?" ”

He Qing was surprised: "Do you have any other antiques at home?" ”

Except for the aura emanating from the purple clay pot, he didn't sense any other breath, so he didn't have much interest.

I only heard Mr. Xue reply: "No, it's not mine, it's someone else's, just now a neighbor called me, and he asked me to ask you on his behalf." ”

He Qing was puzzled: "Your neighbor? Where is he? How did he know we had come to your house to collect antiques? ”

Mr. Xue said with a smile: "I told the man before you came, because he really wanted to buy it." ”

"Oh, is that so?" He Qing said with a sudden expression, "Where is his home?" You can check it out. ”

Since people asked, let's go and take a look, it's nothing if things are not good, just take a casual stroll here.

Mr. Xue replied, "His house is downstairs, on the first floor. The one who asked you to ask you is Mr. Liang, who used to be a middle school teacher, but now he is retired and has been taking care of his daughter at home. Her daughter has uremia and is now divorced, so she has nowhere to go but to take the child back to her parents' house. This is miserable for Lao Liang, with his little pension, where is there enough for his daughter to treat her illness and pay for expensive medical expenses? ”

"That's really difficult." He Qing nodded.

This is said by Mr. Xue, and what he introduced will naturally not be a false situation, if it is a communication with an ordinary seller, then most of what the other party says is a story, and it will only make people laugh when they hear it.

The situation of the old Liang family is indeed worthy of sympathy, and now that people are asking enthusiastically, it is really embarrassing not to show him anything.

"Mr. He, then do you want to go to Lao Liang's house to see those antiques?" Mr. Xue asked.

"Yes, let's see." He Qing agreed.

Mr. Xue said happily: "Then I'll call him and ask him to take out the things and show them to you immediately." ”

He Qing shook his hand and said, "No, let's go in person, lest people run away, it's not easy for the old man to go upstairs, anyway, we have to go down." ”

"That's fine. Go, I'll take you down. Mr. Xue nodded hurriedly in agreement.

So at that moment, he took He Qing and the others downstairs, and came to the bottom floor behind the building, that is, Lao Liang's house.

There is a small yard in front of Lao Liang's house, which is a tent set up by himself.

There were two people sitting under the tent, a little girl and a younger woman, who was in a wheelchair, pale and awkward, obviously sick.

Mr. Xue first introduced that the woman was Mr. Liang's sick daughter, and now her condition is very serious, but their family is too poor to send her to the hospital for professional treatment.

Subsequently, Mr. Xue took He Qing and them into Liang's house.

The Liang family was dimly lit, but the moment he walked in, He Qing not only didn't feel the darkness, but only felt that his eyes suddenly lit up.

For he noticed that there was something in the room that emitted a strong red aura that shimmered.

This is something he never expected, it seems that Lao Liang has a treasure in his hand.
