Chapter 82: Receiving Gifts
Thanks to the two brothers of Doomsday God of War and Sao Sao Daren for their tips.
"Is it pure gold? This luck can't be envied, hehe! Saying that, Han Peacock also became happy.
Fat Liu said angrily: "I don't know this real gold yet?" Don't think that you're knowledgeable, but I don't know anything else, I know a lot about this gold.
In ancient times, gold has seven green, eight yellow, nine purple, ten red said, the color is different, on behalf of the gold content of the gold is also different, this small bowl at a glance, is made of full red gold precision. ”
Han Peacock irradiated the golden bowl with a strong light, and when he saw the reflected light of the golden bowl, he also agreed with Fat Liu's idea.
Generally speaking, gold shines brightly and brightly in bright light, while pure gold is a golden yellow with a hint of reddish color.
This golden bowl has definitely reached the red color, it is the golden yellow that reveals red, and when you weigh it by hand, the golden bowl has a heavy feeling, which is the characteristic of pure gold.
If it feels too light, it must be a counterfeit, the specific gravity of gold is much greater than that of other metals, and for the same volume of metal products, gold products are much heavier.
And this golden bowl is magnificent, brilliant and dazzling, which is one of the symbols of the Tang Dynasty.
"This golden bowl is too beautiful?" Fat Liu looked at the golden bowl that Han Peacock kept turning, and also saw the magnificence of this golden bowl, which suddenly made him open his mouth in surprise and forgot to close it directly.
"Authentic Tang Dynasty Golden Bowl, an absolute boutique, hehe! I didn't expect my luck to be so good today. Han Peacock said with a smile.
That Hou San directly sent him three treasures, he was really a fortune boy, and I don't know what kind of shit luck that guy had taken, and he actually got four Buddhist utensils at once, whether it was an incense burner or a copper bowl, they were all used in the temple.
Maybe these things are really like Hou San said, they were obtained from the temples of Wutai Mountain, and only in that kind of place will a large number of Buddhist artifacts appear at the same time.
Of the four things, only the Qing Dynasty hairpin bronze bowl that Jiang Lin took was the least valuable, and the most valuable one all fell into the hands of Han Peacock.
"How much is this thing worth?" Fat Liu looked at the glittering golden bowl and said.
"It's really hard to say, but the minimum can also sell for a few million, there is no standard for the price of gold in China, there was once a gold fetal chisel in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty "Catch the Pearl Cloud Dragon" pattern inlaid gem three-legged cover furnace, it was auctioned for 116,807,500 Hong Kong dollars.
If it is said that in the Tang Dynasty, there was once a Tang Dynasty five-zigzag branch pattern gilt silver bowl, which was also sold for 1.5885 million pounds, which is more than 10 million yuan, and it is also a gilded silver bowl. ”
"So expensive? A silver bowl can be sold for tens of millions? The price of the golden bowl in the Ming Dynasty is hundreds of millions, doesn't that mean that the price of this golden bowl in the Tang Dynasty is higher? Do you know that the goldsmiths of the Tang Dynasty have been recognized as powerful in the past dynasties? Just today you're a billionaire? Fat Liu was really shocked.
"I really don't know what price it can be sold for, but it shouldn't be a problem to think about it, and there are a lot of transaction records in this area, such as a series of gold jewelry auctions launched by Sotheby's Hong Kong in the spring auction on April 11, 2008.
It was a special auction of 25 sets of Ming and Qing dynasty goldware from the personal collection of Swedish industrialist Johan Carl Kemp, which was named "Imperial Golden Hui - Precious Ming and Qing Imperial Goldware", and only 17 lots were sold, with a total turnover of 171.247 million Hong Kong dollars, and the average transaction price of each piece of gold was more than 10 million. ”
"You also said that the gold of the Ming and Qing dynasties? The golden bowl of the Tang Dynasty was definitely more expensive than it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, right? Fat Liu looked at the golden bowl enviously, as if the golden light of the golden bowl was even more prosperous.
Han Peacock explained: "Although the gold and silver ware of the Ming and Qing dynasties is exquisite, it obviously lacks the cultural taste embodied in the Tang and Song Dynasty products, and even some senior collectors pointed out that the gold and silver of the Ming and Qing dynasties cannot be compared with the Tang and Song dynasties in terms of craftsmanship, and the value of wealth also lacks the liquidity of the current gold, and what is sold is only the concept of the court." ”
"The gold of the Tang Dynasty has not been auctioned? If there is an auction record, your golden bowl will sell better, right? Fat Liu asked.
Han Peacock smiled: "I really haven't heard of the news that the Tang Dynasty court gold artifacts have been auctioned, and some Tang Dynasty gold artifacts are generally unearthed, and they have entered the museum, such treasures are really too few." ”
"The Tang Dynasty gold ware is so famous, is there a small number?" Fat Liu asked.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Due to the extensive exchanges between China and the West in the Tang Dynasty, a large amount of gold and silver entered China, and under the influence of Western culture and the needs of the court, the production of gold and silver reached its peak.
Although the production and use of gold and silver ware was very developed in the Tang and Song dynasties, due to the lack of gold and silver deposits in China, the small source of raw materials, and its strong use function, most of the gold and silver ware handed down from generation to generation were re-melted and cast by the owners according to their own needs, which is an important reason for the scarcity of the number of gold and silver heirlooms in the past dynasties.
Most of the gold and silver products surviving in China are unearthed from archaeological excavations, and there are very few heirloom artifacts in private collections, which is also the reason why they are very rare in the auction hall, because they are rare and precious, which is also an important reason why gold objects can often be auctioned at sky-high prices. ”
"Why don't I sell this golden bowl for you? You don't need fame anyway, and that's exactly what I need. Fat Liu's eyes lit up.
Han Peacock carefully picked up the golden bowl and said, "You better forget it, I'm not short of money now, so it's impossible to sell this thing recently, and besides, don't spread the things in my hand everywhere without trouble, which may cause me trouble." ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Jiang Lin's appetite to be so big." Fat Liu said apologetically.
"Forget it, just pay attention to it in the future, but what are you doing with me today? You can't come to play with me, right? Han Peacock only remembered at this time, this fat Liu hadn't seen him for a while, and now that he came to him, there must be something.
"Don't you say I forgot, you wait for me for a while." Saying that, Fat Liu opened the door and walked out.
After Fat Liu left, Han Peacock thought for a while, directly put away the two incense burners and the golden bowl, and sent them all to the safe in the bedroom one by one and locked them.
"Hey, where's the baby? I haven't taken a good look yet, have I? Fat Liu walked in with a box of wine in his hand, and when he saw that the golden bowl on the table had disappeared, he immediately asked.
"I've put away the golden bowl, I'll go to the bank later, or I'll put this thing in the bank to rest assured, huh? What are you doing? Seeing Fat Liu coming in with wine, Han Peacock was a little surprised, this is for himself?
"Someone else gave our old man a box of Wuliangye, it just so happened that the old man had quit drinking, so I brought it to you to taste." Fat Liu said with a smile.
"You're smiling a little bit in, huh? Let's make it clear! This is nothing to do, either treacherous or thief, and if I don't make it clear, I won't dare to take your wine. Han Peacock looked at Fat Liu Dao with a smile.
Fat Liu said sneeringly: "I have something to ask you for, so you can just stay with this wine." ”
"Say something first, if I can help, I will help, if you also know the way." Han Peacock said directly, if you can't help, you must not help.
"I got a message through a friend that someone wants to sell a treasure and I want to buy it, so I'm not going to come to you for my reference." Fat Liu said a little embarrassed.
Han Peacock frowned: "Your mentality is a little bad!" Just like the jade pot spring bottle last time, if you can't stabilize your mentality, it's easy to suffer. ”
Recently, Fat Liu's mentality has obviously become eager, otherwise he would not keep looking for things for him to identify, if he can't put away his utilitarian heart, it is easy to be fooled.
"Didn't I ask you for help? I still know how much I am capable of, and if I didn't have your help to take a look, I wouldn't have bought things easily. Fat Liu said sneeringly.
"What kind of thing? You know, I don't know everything. Han Peacock frowned and said, it is not easy for outsiders to participate in the acquisition of things.
"Jewelry, I heard that it is a jade pendant, you used to work in a jewelry company, you should know a lot about jadeite, right?" Fat Liu said with a look of hope.
"Emerald? If it's a gambling stone, I have to think about it, and if it's an identification of jadeite, it's no problem at all. This is a little self-confidence, and Han Peacock is still a little.
Hearing what Han Peacock said so surely, Fat Liu was overjoyed: "This opportunity is very good, if the thing is right, the discount will be very large, and we will divide the money equally between the two brothers." ”
Han Peacock said: "Forget it, I'll help you identify it, but there is no reason to share the profits with you equally, this time it is different from being an intermediary, this time the information and channels are all yours, I still honestly charge my appraisal fee, however, this box of Wuliangye shouldn't be cheap, right?" ”
"A box of 6 bottles, you can sell more than 3,000 outside, but these are not your appraisal fees, this bottle is." As he spoke, Fat Liu took out another bottle of Wuliangye from the back of the box.
"This bottle is a good thing, thirty years old, a bottle is more than 5,000, this is your reward this time." Fat Liu said proudly.
"Thirty years old? It's a good thing, you can't buy it with money! I was disrespectful, I really didn't expect that someone would give me a gift now. Han Peacock said jokingly.
Han Peacock is still very satisfied with Fat Liu's gift, they are friends, if he gives money directly, he is really not easy to take.
"These wines come from the right way, if you buy them from outside, you may not be able to buy the real thing, and it's better to keep this kind of thing for yourself." Fat Liu Dao.
"Of course, since I cooperated with you, my little days are getting more and more enjoyable, brother, I am not short of money, there are good things to enjoy by yourself, when the weather is cooler, I will make some good dishes, and we will drink some together."
It is really not suitable for the high degree of liquor on a hot day, but this Wuliangye is fifty-two degrees, and it is better to drink it in autumn and winter.
