Chapter 14: The Stone Sensation
After speaking, he took out 100 yuan and put it in the uncle's hand, turned around and went back to the hotel to pick up the car.
I didn't go back to the room and drove the car out directly, picked up the old man and left, and talked to the uncle on the way, the uncle's surname is Chen, and he lives in Shilipu Village, Chengguan Town, this village has a long history, it has been hundreds of years, and the old man's ancestors are from this village, and they have been ordinary people for generations. I feel a little strange, why Uncle Chen has so many antiques in his house.
Less than 10 minutes to get home, Uncle Chen's home is an ordinary rural courtyard, 4 main rooms, two wings in each of the east and west, the family is also fed two pigs and more than a dozen chickens, it seems that the leftovers of going out to sell breakfast do not need to be thrown away, either feeding pigs or chickens, it is a thorough "circular economy".
When I got home, my uncle took me to his west wing, pointed to the altars and jars on the ground and said, "Well, these are all things, and some of them are under the bed in the main room, and there are some in the east wing, all of which are messy things."
I squatted down and picked up an altar to the yard to take a closer look, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to use the ability to see through, sure enough, this jar is almost 300 years old, this time I have nothing to look through some antique collection books, plus I use the ability to check its history is about 300 years, that can basically be determined to be the porcelain made in Jingdezhen, its history can be traced back to Kangxi, Yongzheng period.
Qing army into the customs until the Shunzhi years, due to social instability, most of the porcelain kilns closed, to the Kangxi period, the external pacification of the "three", the internal solution to the Aobai, the whole society gradually entered a period of stable development, Kangxi 19 years, the domestic porcelain industry including Jingdezhen including the official kilns and private kilns began to resume production and rapid development, especially in the middle of the Kangxi period there was a "government and civilian competition" situation, so that the porcelain industry has made great progress.
In this period, the porcelain fetal quality is fine and pure, the glaze color is bright and round, the shape is symmetrical and regular, the decoration is delicate and beautiful, representing the highest level of the ancient porcelain handicraft industry jishu, one of the representative works is the glaze red peach bamboo plum bottle treasured by the existing museum, the shape is beautiful, the fetal quality is delicate, the glaze color is elegant, it can be described as a fine product, it is said that in the 2002 Sotheby auction, an imitation bottle was sold for 500,000 yuan, if it is genuine, it is estimated that it is at least more than 2 million.
And Uncle Chen's house these bottles and cans, is one of the fine products at that time, I don't know why hundreds of years later to the point of being used as a kimchi jar, sauce jar, if those collectors know, but also have to beat their chests, with their heads to grab the ground, it seems that God bless me.
I thought about it after reading the jars in the other two rooms, and then said to Uncle Chen: "Uncle, I want all these jars, 5000 each, and a penny will not be less than you."
"Ah, lad, do you really want it?"
"Hehe, don't worry, uncle, since I said I want it, I must want it, well, in this way, I don't have much money on me now, what about you, first help me load these jars into the car, I can pull as much as I can, and I will give you an extra 100 yuan for the things inside, what do you think?" Then pull it to the hotel where I stay, and I will take you to the bank to withdraw money or transfer money to you, what do you think? ”
"Young man Dele, nothing in there is anything valuable, and I don't want it anymore, I'll put it on you now."
Uncle Chen was afraid that I would regret it, so he grabbed the jar one by one and put it on my car, looking at his energy, I was a little worried that the jar would not be damaged again.
There are not many places in this car, a total of 15 are installed, and there are 30 haode porcelain in the remaining room, 10 of which are flawed and notched, and then we got on the car and went straight to the hotel where I lived, passing by his breakfast stall, he said to the old lady through the car door, "Old guy, pack up your things, don't do it, wait for me to come back", in the old lady's puzzled look, we drove to the hotel with a smoke, I put the 15 jars downstairs temporarily, and then told the service industry, these things are antiques are very valuable, Don't touch me, otherwise you can't afford to lose all the hotel sold, and then I went upstairs to the room, between which Brother Li had gotten up, so he told him that he had something to go out, and he needed to drive his car, and he would come back at about 10 o'clock, and in his puzzled eyes, I took his car keys, and threw my car keys to him, and then opened the door and went out. When I got outside, I changed my car and went to the bank with Uncle Chen.
I transferred money to Uncle Chen according to the haode porcelain, even then I felt that I took a big advantage of the old man, 55 porcelains were a total of 275,000, made up a whole number, gave 300,000, and then transferred to the passbook that the uncle carried.
The old man trembled with the passbook and muttered in a low voice, "Alas, if I had this money earlier, my son would not have been imprisoned, but now it is okay, I should be able to come out."
On the way back to his house, I asked the uncle, "Uncle, how did you get so much porcelain in your house?" ”
"Alas, these, a few years ago, there was a tomb outside our village that was said to be the tomb of a certain prince was dug up, and those tomb robbers only took away the valuable gold, silver, jewelry and copper coins, leaving the bottles and jars in this place, and later they were taken home by the brave men in the village, pickled pickles, and made sauce jars."
"Ah, there are other families too, so uncle, I'll leave a phone call for you, you can help me collect these unearthed porcelain, each is still 5,000 yuan, what do you think?"
"Okay, I'll collect it for you, and when I get enough of a car, I'll call you and you'll pull it"
Not only did I feel a waterfall sweat in my heart, "I said that this thing is actually about car pulling, and this is not to take bean bags as dry food, these are all antiques, and it is left to which collector must not break his head."
Talking and laughing and continuing to come to the uncle's house, this time all the remaining porcelain was loaded into the car, and even a few were loaded on the co-pilot, for fear of bumping, the uncle took out the old quilt at his house and laid out two beds and covered them.
Then he pulled Uncle Chen to his breakfast stall, and by the way, he also loaded his granddaughter's night pot, and then told Uncle Chen to quickly collect all the bottles and cans from other houses, and then drove back to the hotel.
It was almost ten o'clock when I arrived at the hotel, so I asked the lobby service industry to unload the porcelain on the car and store it, and then went upstairs, only to see that Brother Li was about to call me, and when he saw me coming back, he asked me with a smile, "What are you doing in a hurry?"
"Hey Brother Li, I'm going to pick up extra money, I'll talk to you when I'm free."
Then the two went out together and drove straight to the stone factory where the gambling stone was located.
When I got there, everyone was already trading, transferring money, taking cash, moving stones, and even seeing Master Yin and his two apprentices who met last night in front of the stone solving machine had already started to get busy.
Since Brother Li and I are big customers of Liu Million, each of us has almost 20 stones, my total price is 3.8 million, Brother Li has 4.2 million, seeing that I also have so many pieces, not only Brother Li was shocked: "Brother, why are you doing so big, I don't say let you buy some casually and be a practitioner."
"Hehe, Brother Li, I think the probability of buying more will be higher, you didn't look at Boss Pan yesterday, and there was 3.5 million all of a sudden"
"Alas, let me tell you what to order, that's luck, you kid doesn't know how luck is, by the way, this money is not your family, if it is I advise you to buy less"
"Don't worry, Brother Li, this money is not much for me", just kidding, these stones are all green, if you solve the price of at least tens of millions, spend this money, it is really a million profits, but I didn't dare to say this to him, well, you can't say it to death.
"That's good, brother, I wish you a victorious start, so are you going to solve the stone here or do you go home and solve it slowly? If the cost of calcite here depends on the different jade flesh that comes out, it is generally one percent, and the slightly better one is 1.5%, like glass and imperial green at least 2%."
I thought about it, there are too many words to solve here, and I can't solve it for a while, so I asked, "Brother Li, if I don't solve it here, can you help me introduce some masters of calcing?"
"Hehe, brother, you still need to look for it, it's far away in front of you, Master Yin and the apprentice you met last night can do it, and they have these guys in their own house, you can go to their house to solve it, you can also go to your house to solve it"
"Well, let's do it, I'll try my luck here first, and then I'll pull the rest back to solve it."
"Okay, then let's get off to a good start here."
So we waited in line for the calcite.
The time flickered to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and finally it was me, I took out one of the pieces 2331 and asked Master Yin to solve it.
When Master Yin saw that it was us, he said that if this piece was not green, it would be white for us to solve, and then asked me how to solve it according to the custom? Is it a cut in the middle or which aspect to start cutting.
I said in my heart that it would be ruined with a single cut in the middle, so I said to Master Yin: "Master Yin, I want to cut it from this side, first cut 5 cm vertically and then say."
Okay, Master Yin asked the two apprentices to put the stones on the stone solving machine, and at this time there were many onlookers around, including Liu Million, there were about 10 of them, some of them were waiting for the stone, and some were ready to leave after the transaction, Liu Million was purely to see the excitement.
I heard the two people next to me muttering there, "This piece of material is mysterious, I looked at it for a long time, and found that there was neither ringworm nor fog, and the whole one or three did not rely on."
"No, I've seen enough, this kid is the first time to gamble on stones, people are stupid and have a lot of money, let's watch the excitement."
There was a lot of discussion around, and there was everything to say, and at this time, Lao Pan also squeezed to my side and asked, "Brother, this is yours."
"Yes, Brother Pan, I'm also just trying my luck, I'm just playing around."
"Hehe, this piece is a bit mysterious, but no one can say anything if it's not zuihou, let's talk about it later."
Then I listened to the roar of the cutting machine, and cut it down 5 centimeters deep according to what I said, and there was still no green out, and Brother Li next to me pulled me a little, "Brother, you have to be mentally prepared, even if you can't get green, it's nothing."
I didn't say anything, Master Yin asked me how to cut it, and I said turn it over and cut it vertically from the back for another 5 cm.
This time there was still nothing, and at this time someone already had a sarcastic voice on his face, saying "Hurry up brother, forget it if you don't have it, we are still waiting to solve it"
I ignored them, and continued to ask Master Yin to cut the other noodles into 5 cm each, zuihou appeared in front of us a piece of 15 cm long, 15 cm wide, and 10 cm thick squares, but after a vertical cut in zuihou, I suddenly found that there was a faint green mist on the epidermis, this time Master Yin no longer cut, turned around and opened the thick diamond grinding wheel, and began to grind slowly.
As we went deeper, the green became clearer and clearer, and it was already certain that there was green in it, so it stopped. Master Yin also grinds with a rough emery wheel from several other faces. At this time, someone around me said to me: "Boss, I want you this piece, give you 500,000"
I shook my head, and the other couldn't help but say, "I'll give out 700,000 brothers, you can see if it's okay, let it be given to me."
I smiled and said, "No hurry, wait".
After about 20 minutes, you can see the dark green color on all six sides, but the length and width of that piece are still 13 inches, and the thickness is about 8 inches, if it is ordinary
Master Yin replaced it with a medium-sized diamond grinding wheel to further remove the uneven parts and the useless parts of the entire surface, and then used round stones to further punch into rough blanks.
At this time, a piece of jadeite that was almost boxy about 8 inside revealed its true face, and the people around it were stunned, what a big piece of jadeite.
"This, this, this is the door on all sides", Master Yin's hands shook excitedly.
The so-called opening of the door refers to grinding off a small piece of the outer skin, exposing the jade flesh, and polishing it, and then relying on this piece of "door" to become a bargain, and finally reach a deal.
"Such jadeite, since the liberation of the Zhonghe Su Zhutao Su Boss once opened, this more than half a century has not heard of being able to open the door on all sides, Brother Wang, not Boss Wang, you are auspicious, congratulations"
"What, are the rumors true? I'm obedient, isn't this little brother's luck up to the sky."
The people around me said anything, but without exception, they all looked at me with envy, and some of them began to rush to the offer, and the price suddenly rose to 5 million, just kidding, the sensation at home and abroad in the middle of the year has been recorded in history, if you don't grab it, even the king of heaven will spit on it.
"Boss Wang, I'll give 7 million"
"7 million? I'll give 10 million"
"I'll give 12 million, Boss Wang, you can give it to me"
"Don't fight, I'll pay 20 million, Boss Wang, can you give this piece to my brother?" "Just kidding, there is such a haode in my yard that should be sold to me, and then I will use it as the treasure of the town, not the treasure of the town."
"I'll give 25 million", as soon as this voice came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
