Chapter 202: The Black Market (4)

This bucket-shaped cup attracted Chen Yi's interest, and he can say that he likes jade very much, and the reason is very simple, jade is warm and moist, which is very consistent with his character.

This jade artifact also made many people full of interest, and they came forward to watch it one by one, and after that, Chen Yi and Ye Huajian stepped forward to observe this jade cup, and suddenly saw the four poems spoken by the middle-aged man.

Sitting alone on the bank of Fuchun Rock fishing, the lake and mountains are long. The willow shore is obsessed with wild colors, a hook of mountains and moons to a lonely boat, this poem, Chen Yi searched for some poems and poems that he had seen in his mind, but he couldn't find it.

Not only the poems, but also the carved landscape figure ornaments, are also very exquisite, except for the pale yellow color, the whole jade looks indeed a rare object.

After a few glances, Chen Yi used the identification technique, if this is an old object, then even if he can't buy it, he can get some identification points.

"The item was successfully identified, and the information is as follows, the Ming Dynasty white jade carved landscape figure pattern bucket-shaped cup, production age: about 470 years ago, carver: Lu Zigang."

"Jade materials: high-grade Hetian snowflake white jade."

Artistic characteristics: Lu Zigang is a famous sculptor in the Ming Dynasty, good at a variety of carving techniques, the jade carving works, the shape of the Han Dynasty, taken from the Song Dynasty, quite ancient, and the formation of empty, floating, fine artistic characteristics, the shape of the work is changeable, it is difficult to figure out, there are many carved paragraphs, mainly seal script and official book, the carved part is very exquisite, more in the inconspicuous place, so that people can not easily find, and the carved part of this jade cup is very ingenious, hidden in the landscape pattern on one side of the jade cup, making it difficult to find. It's ingenious. ”

"Material characteristics: the best white jade in Hetian jade. Soft and even. The texture is dense and delicate, with a layer of grease and waxy luster, which is the top grade in jade. ”

"Jade value: high-grade Hetian white jade, made by Lu Zigang, a master carver in the Ming Dynasty, has excellent workmanship, delicate carving, ingenious pattern design, and vivid character portrayal. The value is high. ”

Seeing the identification information, Chen Yi showed a look of shock on his face, Lu Zigang jade carving, which was hard to believe.

In addition to porcelain and calligraphy and painting, he also has a great preference for jade, so whether it is in the study with Gao Cunzhi or in his own appraisal, basically when he sees jade, he has to identify one or two. to learn about the material and artistic characteristics of various jade artifacts and enrich your knowledge.

After all, after getting the identification technique. His identification only needs to consume energy values, and does not need to consume a limited number of identifiers, it can be said that in his mind, there is a lot of jade information, and similarly, he also learned some knowledge about jade from Gao Cunzhi.

Now he still remembers that in the information in his mind, there are several pieces of jade made in imitation of Lu Zigang, and it also made him know the jade carving master Lu Zigang through these jade objects, and he also learned about the master's information later.

The jade carved by Lu Zigang, each piece is a fine work, and the jade materials used are Xinjiang Hetian jade, and the carving techniques are exquisite, which is breathtaking.

However, through some explanations of Gao Cunzhi, he also understood the difficulty of the identification of Zigang jade, it is because of the fame of Zigang jade, so that a large number of imitations of Zigang jade in later generations, so that antique collectors are difficult to distinguish between true and false, especially Lu Zigang's Kunwu knife and his carving skills disappeared in the long river of history, so that people in history know little about the detailed characteristics of Zigang jade, and now we know some of the identification knowledge of Lu Dao, which is also obtained from later generations, but Lu Zigang's carving techniques are very numerous, and sometimes it is difficult to identify at all.

Of course, if you find the carved money left on the jade of Zigang, then it is easier, Lu Zigang's carving is generally hidden very cleverly, the font is strong and powerful, the style is dignified and Zhouzheng, never sloppy, the font is round and embarrassing, so it is generally difficult to imitate in later generations, but it is precisely because of a jade carving dragon head made for the emperor, engraved his name, which angered the emperor and was unfortunately killed, which is also a real companion such as the deeds of the tiger.

He also had seen Zigang jade under the leadership of Gao Cunzhi, but it was a little different from the carving skills on this bucket-shaped cup, but the identification information pointed out the Zigang carving on this jade cup in detail, so that he could find it without much effort.

When he was about to take a closer look, the middle-aged man next to him said that their time had come and they could go back, Chen Yi circled around the jade cup at the last time, and glanced at the place pointed out in the system information, but he couldn't find it, so he had to return to his seat, but the identification system would not make mistakes, which was something that Chen Yi had always firmly believed.

This piece of white jade bucket-shaped cup is systematically evaluated as having a very high value, which shows that this jade cup can reach a value of more than five million, and a jade can reach five million, which is already very precious.

After returning to his seat, Chen Yi looked at the jade cup, and naturally decided to buy it.

Thinking of the poems on the jade cup, Chen Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked Ye Huajian. "Brother Ye, this jade is very exquisite, but I haven't heard the poems on it."

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Ye Huajian smiled, "Chen Xiaoyou, I haven't heard of it, but some jade carving masters have always been people who are well-versed in the past and the present, presumably they did it temporarily, and I never knew that this jade carving cup is very exquisite, and the carving process is also very unique, but it is like the craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty imitation of the Ming Dynasty, what, Chen Xiaoyou is interested in this jade cup." ”

Chen Yi nodded, "This jade cup is very exquisite, and it is a good choice to put it at home, but there will be a lot of people who want to bid for a while, and I wonder if I want to give up." ”

"Hehe, Chen Xiaoyou, the three million I brought, it cost 1.1 million, and there is still 1.9 million left, and this jade cup, if you can leave the name of the carver, maybe it will have a high value, but now, this jade will not exceed one million, it can reach five or six hundred thousand, it is already very high, this one million and nine million, I will give it to you first, this is your money." Ye Huajian said with a smile and put the suitcase next to Chen Yi.

"Brother Ye, thank you so much." Chen Yi said with gratitude.

Ye Huajian smiled, "We are all friends, in your hands, I got a lot of good things, okay, the auction is about to start." ”

"All the bosses have a certain understanding of this jade cup, the starting price of this Qing Dynasty jade cup is 150,000, and the auction will start now." The middle-aged man smiled, and when he got this jade cup, they only spent twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

There are not a few people who are interested in this jade cup, if it is just a simple jade cup, it is also engraved with landscape character ornaments, as well as a poem, which is a little more elegant.

"One hundred and sixty thousand." Almost as soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone began to bid, and the bidders accounted for a third of the entire room.

Chen Yi was not in a hurry to bid, now the bid is just a waste of words, finally, the price of this jade cup quickly climbed to 400,000, and then slowed down, and many people withdrew from the bidding, after all, a white jade cup of the Han Dynasty is only one million, this one is just from the Qing Dynasty, and the price is too high.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand." When the value reached 410,000, Chen Yi directly added 40,000, raising the price to 450,000.

While the others saw a young man suddenly joining the battle, they couldn't help frowning and continued to bid, while Chen Yi still raised the price without hurry, and did not choose to add too much at once, otherwise, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of some people.

However, it is precisely because of the exquisite pattern of the landscape figures on this jade that the price exceeded Ye Huajian's estimate and reached 700,000.

Finally, when it was added to 850,000, everyone stopped bidding, and although this piece of jade was exquisite, it would not allow them to buy it with nearly a million dollars.

"This young man sold for 850,000 yuan, please go over there and pay the money." Seeing that the transaction price of this jade item reached 850,000, the middle-aged man was full of smiles.

Chen Yi smiled, took Ye Huajian's suitcase, came to the side of the hall, took out 850,000 yuan from the suitcase, handed it to the staff, and then the staff also wrapped it in a wooden box.

Looking at the bucket-shaped cup in the wooden box, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, although he spent more than 800,000 yuan, but he picked up a big leak, the leak he found before, the price when buying was very low, but most of those were obtained from the antique stalls, and there were many antique stall owners who were illiterate, and some of the antiques were hidden in other objects, so this allowed him to find many high-priced items at a very low price.

But now, those who can come here to participate in the black market are basically a little discerning, and this jade cup is also very exquisite, and it is nothing more than whimsical to find it at such a low price.

"Chen Xiaoyou, congratulations on getting this jade cup as you wished, 850,000 yuan, but it's a bit expensive." Ye Huajian said with a smile.

"Brother Ye, this is not an antique city, you can find treasures at a very low price, this jade cup is so exquisite, it can be regarded as a rare thing." Chen Yi said with a smile, Zigang Jade, if you say the name of this piece, then the value of this jade cup will immediately increase several times.

This is not only a celebrity effect, but also because most of the Zigang jade that exists now is a jade plate, and the jade carvings carved by Lu Zigang have been handed down very little, which further enhances the value of this jade cup.

After returning the suitcase to Ye Huajian, Chen Yi put the box aside, preparing to study it carefully after going back, other people's carvings are basically the more conspicuous the better, but Lu Zigang is the opposite, every piece of jade is hidden very cleverly. (To be continued......)
