Chapter 167: Pan Jiayuan
Yu Fei was indeed tempted. Although the lots at auction are lackluster in terms of value, the number of antiques circulating in the Japanese market is evident! In addition, Dong Dechang also said before that Japan is the country that plunders the most Chinese antiques! So the idea of going to Japan to pick up the leak has already germinated in Fei's heart.
Of course, Yu Fei would not think that he could pick up the leaks in Japan with his right hand, but there are too few treasures in the domestic antique market. After returning to Ningdu from Pengcheng, Yu Fei went to visit Chaotian Palace and Confucius Temple antique markets a few times, wanting to buy a few objects that opened the door to decorate the faΓ§ade, but what disappointed him was that there were very few open objects in the antique market, and even if there were a few pieces, they were not treasures, and the prices were ridiculously higher.
The newly bought villa of the Olympic Sports Center is under renovation, and Yu Fei wants to set up an antique collection showroom in the image of Dong Dechang, but now he doesn't even have a collection in his hand except for the Chixiao Sword!
"Is Yu Feijun hesitating? Then what you just said was a lie to Saori? Seeing that Yu Fei didn't speak for a long time, Saori Mitsui said again.
"How so?" Yu Fei immediately made up his mind: "Ten days later, I will definitely go." β
"That's a certainty, Saori will be waiting for you to come in Tokyo!" Saori Mitsui grinned and hung up.
Faced with Saori Mitsui's pretending to be cute, Yu Fei could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Of course, he wouldn't think that Saori Mitsui was a stupid and naΓ―ve ordinary little girl, on the contrary, the more she was like this, the stronger Yu Fei's wariness of her became.
"Still nostalgic?" Suddenly, the sound of cold rain sounded in my ears.
"What nostalgia? Don't guess. Yu Fei hurriedly covered up and said, "That's right." How's Uncle Leng's condition? What do doctors say? β
Leng Yufei's face turned gloomy and said: "The doctor said that Dad's body has a tendency to improve, and the brain waves have also increased a lot, but it is still impossible to say when he will wake up." β
"That's a good thing. You should be happy. Yu Fei comforted.
"You're right, I hope Dad wakes up a day sooner." Leng Yufei forced a happy face: "By the way, what are your arrangements for the afternoon?" Why don't you go back to rest? β
"I'm not tired, if it's convenient, let the driver take me to Panjiayuan, I want to go there for a walk." Yu Fei said that Panjiayuan, as a well-known antique market in the country, is extremely famous. Of course, you have to go around Kyoto, and you may find something to gain.
"Well, I'm not going back this afternoon. Accompany you to Panjiayuan for a walk, save the time when you are cheated and blamed on my head. Leng Yufei said with a smile.
"Hey! How can a dignified general manager skip work? That's not a good example. Yu Fei joked.
"I'll skip work with the chairman, if anyone dares to say a word, hum! Fry it! "The cold rain is stinging and the white teeth are bared. Said viciously.
In '92, Panjiayuan was still a spontaneously formed flea market. It was transformed into a thrift market in '95, and it wasn't until '99 that it was developed into an antique market, which quickly became popular because of its antique architecture and authentic trading methods, and many people came here every day to pick up leaks.
Yu Fei took Leng Yufei around the antique market but was disappointed to find that it was almost impossible to pick up the leak here, as the old saying for his mother is "to think about it is a trick".
Later, Yu Fei spent 20,000 yuan to buy a picture of Fang Shaochen's pine crane longevity, ready to be used as a gift to visit Old Man Ye tomorrow. Fang Shaochen was a native of Xinghua, Jiangsu Province, and later settled in Changzhou. The style of painting is casual and spicy, and its pine crane life extension picture is also good.
It's when Fei Yi walks back. But I heard someone behind me shouting: "Teacher Yu, Teacher Yu." β
Yu Fei didn't think that he was calling himself, so he didn't pay attention to it, until he was stopped by a fat man in his thirties.
"Teacher Yu, it's really you!" The fat man said excitedly when he saw Yu Fei.
"You're calling me?" Yu Fei asked uncertainly. Since the Treasure Appreciation Conference, few people have called themselves Teacher Yu anymore.
The fat man's name is Kong Dashan, his hometown is in northern Anhui, and Yu Fei's hometown is also very close, it is said that he later made a fortune in foreign trade business, and his family moved to Kyoto.
In the past few years, the collection has become hot, and Kong Dashan has followed the trend to play the collection, but the level is not high, and he has bought a room of collections but rarely opens the door after a few years of hard work, which is considered to have paid a lot of tuition.
At the last treasure appraisal meeting, Qi Fatzi also brought a white porcelain bottle from Kyoto to Ningdu for identification, and the person who identified it was Yu Fei at that time! The last porcelain bottle was identified by Yu Fei as a white porcelain net bottle in the Tang Dynasty, with a market value of more than 100,000 yuan, but it made Kong Dashan earn enough face in front of his friends.
Speaking of the past of the treasure appreciation conference, Kong Dashan said very enthusiastically: "Teacher Yu, it is rare to meet you in Kyoto, I invite you to dinner and thank you, you must appreciate the light!" β
"Mr. Kong, don't be polite, that's my business, and I can't afford to thank you." Yu Fei said humbly: "Besides, I have something to do in the afternoon, how about we have a chance to get together again next time?" β
Seeing Yu Fei say this, Kong Dashan was also inconvenient to ask, and said a little embarrassedly: "Then let's make a decision, but I still have one thing I want to trouble the teacher today." β
Kong Dashan wanted to ask Yu Fei to help with the identification. Kong Dashan's foreign trade business is getting bigger and bigger, and recently bought a villa in Kyoto, so he wanted to buy some old furniture and put it in.
Just now in the Panjiayuan furniture market, I took a fancy to a pair of rosewood Fushou chairs, according to the stall owner, it was handed down from the Qing Dynasty, and 80,000 yuan was not bargained.
According to Kong Dashan, the stall owner is in his sixties, sloppy, wearing a small melon skin hat, which really has the taste of the old and the young left behind in the Qing Dynasty. As soon as Kong Dashan saw other people's appearances, he felt that the thing was real, but when he wanted to buy it, he saw Yu Fei and chased after him.
Yu Fei felt that there was a problem when he heard it, there were many cases of selling property in the Qing Dynasty, and there were indeed many good things and old things. But it's already the beginning of the 2000s. Those old things that should be searched are almost gone, where is it possible to have another old and young old and young to sell property? And it's still in the place of Panjiayuan, if it's true, I'm afraid it would have been bought a long time ago. Where is your turn Kong Dashan?
"Brother Kong, I don't have much research on furniture." Yu Fei excused himself. As one of the antique trades, furniture also dabbled in some when he was preparing for the treasure appreciation conference, and his appraisal relied on the chaotic qi, which had nothing to do with whether he studied or not. The reason for the resignation is because he is not familiar with Kong Dashan and cannot do it; Second, the antique market has the rules of the antique market. The bystanders are not allowed to speak. This is also the reason why Dong Dechang and Yu Fei met for the first time in the Tianning Temple antique market did not say a word about Fei's request for help.
"Teacher Yu, you are too modest, the collection of antiques is inherently comprehensive, even if you haven't studied it, you are much better than me." Qi Dashan didn't give up at all: "I know that there are rules here. Wait a moment and help me see, you don't need to speak, if it's old, you just nod. If it's new. You just shake your head, what do you think? Teacher Yu, you can help me, I don't care about these little money, but worry about the head of the family, she has spoken, if I look at it again, I will not be allowed to play collection in the future. β
Leng Yufei was amused by Kong Dashan's words. said to Fei: "Yu Fei, if you don't bother, you can help him take a look." β
"Yes, Mr. Yu. You see your wife is talking. Kong Dashan hurriedly said.
"Who is he too ......" Leng Yufei's face turned red and wanted to refute, but he didn't say it in the end.
Since Leng Yufei also spoke, and Yu Fei also felt that Kong Dashan was more realistic, he nodded and said: "Brother Kong, let's talk ugly ahead, I'm not an expert, if you can't see it, don't blame me." β
"Don't worry, Teacher Yu, is our Lao Kong the kind of person who doesn't know what to do?" Kong Dashan was overjoyed, and almost swore that no matter whether Yu Fei saw it accurately or not, he would not blame Yu Fei.
Yu Fei followed Kong Dashan and soon came to the stall, and the old man who watched the stall glanced at the three of them arrogantly and did not speak.
"Teacher Yu, it's this pair of chairs, you can show it." Kong Dashan whispered beside Yu Fei.
Kong Dashan refers to a pair of Fushou chairs, the material looks like red sandalwood, and it is very well preserved, if it is true, the price of 80,000 yuan is indeed not high.
Yu Fei took a closer look, and the pair of chairs did conform to the characteristics of Qing Dynasty furniture.
After the publication of Wang Shixiang's book "Appreciation of Ming-style Furniture" in 85 years, a large number of collectors from Hong Kong and Taiwan poured into the mainland to search for Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, they went deep into the cities and villages of Jiangsu, Shanxi, Hebei, Shaanxi and other provinces, and searched in every old house and house, and moved away the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture such as huanghuali, mahogany, ebony, wenge wood and so on at a very low price, so that the price of Ming and Qing furniture skyrocketed by nearly 10 times. By the mid-90s, the trade in furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties had become a major part of the antique trade.
Compared with Ming-style furniture, Qing Dynasty furniture is thick and solemn in shape, with wide materials, increased size and abundant body; In the decoration of more, full, rich, gorgeous, a variety of materials are used together, a variety of processes are combined, common all-body decoration, there is no blank, to achieve unprecedented richness and brilliance.
Furniture appraisal is mainly judged from the selection of materials, line feet, carving, inlay and other decorative techniques. At the same time, the classical furniture uses raw lacquer and hot wax, and it is advisable to use beeswax containing 95% wax, and then wipe the wax to make the surface of the furniture bright and clean, and the corners are smooth. The carving is well-crafted and creative, and the stone is used in an abstract style, with elegant lines, full drying, and not afraid of cracking. Modern imitations are mostly replaced by paint, the interface has saw marks, complex lines, easy to crack and deform, and is glued with nails and glue, which is a lot rougher in terms of technology.
This pair of Fushou chair decorative pattern is auspicious clouds holding the sun, but it is in line with the characteristics of the noble family of the Qing Dynasty court, and the start is also very heavy, and the whole looks real.
However, Yu Fei also knew that if Lu Dao relied on his vision and experience alone, his level would not be much stronger than Kong Dashan, and in the end, he would have to rely on the Qi of Chaos.
When Yu Fei guided the chaotic qi to investigate, he was surprised. (To be continued......)
