Chapter 250: Appraisal
"Boss Nie, I'm not familiar with the capital, I need you to worry more about finding someone to identify this matter."
After finalizing the matter, Qin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the funds for the store in Panjiayuan were finally abundant.
However, with Nie Tianlong, a-stirring stick in the capital, Qin Feng may not be able to take over the shop from Fang Yazhi smoothly, and he still has to think of a trick to force him away.
"Brother Qin, you are so modest, with Old Man Qi here, aren't you walking sideways in this appraisal line?"
Nie Tianbao complimented Qin Feng, thought for a while, and said, "I also have some friends in the appraisal industry, otherwise, I'll make a call first to see if my friend has time?" ”
Although this set of jade was bought at a high price, Nie Tianbao was still afraid of long nights and dreams, and wanted to pocket it as soon as possible.
After all, he has been in the jade business for many years, and he has never seen such a complete set of ancient jade in such a good condition, and I believe that in less than three or five years, the actual value of this set of jade will be doubled.
"Okay, then it's going to trouble Boss Nie." Qin Feng nodded indifferently, this set of jade is an old jade new workman, but Qin Feng is confident, with his craftsmanship, no one in the capital may be able to see it.
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Nie Tianbao took out the phone and walked to the door and dialed it, he has been in the jade business for many years, so he naturally inevitably interacts with jade appraisal agencies, and is indeed very familiar with some appraisers in the capital.
"Huh? Brother Ran looking for me? Nie Tianbao was on the phone, Qin Feng's mobile phone also rang, and after looking at the number, it was Li Ran's call.
"Qin Feng, are you at school?" There was a voice talking next to Li Ran, who seemed to be with a friend.
"Brother Ran, here you are. Something? Qin Feng's heart moved, it has been almost a week since Li Ran, this buddy didn't call, it seems that things are on the line.
"Of course, there is something, at eight o'clock in the evening, I will take you to a field. Know a few people, and when the time comes, you can just ask them to handle the matter of your demolition company. ”
Li Ran was a little noisy over there, and without waiting for Qin Feng to reply, he said directly: "You wait for me at school at seven o'clock in the evening, I'll go over to pick you up, let's say this first, I still have something to do here." ”
"Damn, don't ask me if I'm okay?" Qin Feng listened to the beep sound of the phone. Shaking his head, he threw the phone on the table.
"What? Brother Qin, is someone looking for you? ”
As soon as Qin Feng hung up the phone, Nie Tianbao also walked in with a happy face, and said, "Brother Qin, President Liu happens to be free today, he asked us to go over now, and we just have a meal together in the evening, what do you think?" ”
Nie Tianbao said that President Liu. He is a deputy director of the National Jade Testing Center and has a very good reputation in the jade identification industry. The person is called Liu Yanai.
If it was an ordinary object, Nie Tianbao would not find this master, don't look at Nie Tianbao's net worth of hundreds of millions, and the liquidity on hand is only three or five million, if this thing is fake, Nie Tianbao will also feel pain.
"It's three o'clock now......"
Qin Feng looked at his watch. With a wry smile: "Boss Nie, it's not that I don't give you this face, I made an appointment with someone at night for something very important, why don't we go to President Liu tomorrow?" ”
It's not that Qin Feng doesn't want to make money, the key is that Li Ran's side is also very important. The matter of the demolition company has been dragging on for more than a week, and He Jinlong has called him a lot.
"Don't mind, Brother Qin, President Liu, that's very difficult to make an appointment."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Nie Tianbao suddenly made a bitter face and asked, "Brother Qin, what time did you make an appointment with someone?" Or...... When we're done, I'll drive you there?" ”
There are thousands of jade merchants in the country, and Nie Tianbao and President Liu don't have a deep friendship, he promised heavy profits, and President Liu was able to spare a little time.
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "This ...... It's not convenient for me to go to my friend's place with this brocade box. ”
"It's easy to do!"
Nie Tianbao said with a smile: "Let's go out to the bank first, I'll handle a bearer passbook of three million, and after the appraisal is completed, the passbook will be given to you, and I'll take the things, won't this be lived......"
In '98, the financial institutions were still a bit chaotic, and basically anyone could go to the bank to open an account, and they could deposit and withdraw money with a passbook without an ID card, and it was not until two years later that the real-name deposit system began to be implemented.
Ask someone to appraise, Nie Tianbao also needs to pay the appraisal fee, because this is a private job, the appraisal fee is far more expensive than going to the appraisal office, and he also has to take some money and put it on his body.
"Is that appropriate?" After hearing Nie Tianbao's words, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Time is too tight, or it will be better tomorrow." ”
"It's not tight, it's not tight at all, don't worry, brother, I won't be able to miss your business when I drive."
Nie Tianbao pulled Qin Feng to go out as he spoke, it took almost an hour to go to the appraisal center from here, plus handling passbooks and other things, the time was actually a little tight.
"This is really, don't be embarrassed to send money in a hurry."
Seeing Nie Tianbao so eager, Qin Feng was really a little embarrassed in his heart, he didn't know if he was in conflict with this buddy, why did the other party desperately stuff it into his arms as if he was afraid that he didn't want his money.
There were several banks at the gate of Beijing, and after leaving the school gate, in front of Qin Feng, Nie Tianbao opened a new account and transferred three million dollars to that account, and Nie Tianbao withdrew another 30,000 yuan in cash.
When they arrived at President Liu's residence, it was already almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and an old man in his fifties was waiting downstairs and took Qin Feng and Nie Tianbao to the second floor.
"President Liu, I'm really bothering you today."
Before the appraisal began, Nie Tianbao placed an envelope containing 10,000 yuan on President Liu's desk.
If the thing is real, then the appraisal fee this time is 10,000 yuan, but if it is fake, Nie Tianbao needs to take out the other 20,000 yuan.
Some people don't understand when they see this, it is a happy thing to identify the real object, and the appraisal fee should be given more, why is it a fake 30,000, and the real is only 10,000?
However, after thinking about this matter, it is clear that if the thing is fake, the appraiser will help identify it. The rest of Nie Tianbao's money is not 30,000, but 3 million.
At this time, the antique craze has just risen, and most of the people in the circle use this rule, and the experts are also very dedicated, which is basically true. What is false is what is fake.
But after a few years, various appraisal institutions and experts and scholars emerge in an endless stream, and an appraisal certificate can be issued for fifty yuan, but the gold content is far from comparable at this time.
"Xiao Nie, that's too polite."
President Liu politely said that people who eat whole grains naturally need money, such as taking on this kind of private work is very common, and for fear of bad reputation. They are often more attentive to the appraisal of their private work than to the work in the office.
Looking at the brocade box that Qin Feng was holding, President Liu said, "Put the things on the table, it's not easy for you to hold me." ”
This is also the rule of the antique shop, such as ceramic jade, such fragile valuables, in order to be afraid of people touching porcelain, generally will not be passed by hand, are to be placed on the table. Others will reach out and take it.
Qin Feng nodded and placed the brocade box on the table. I took a step back.
Before coming, Qin Feng told Nie Tianbao not to introduce his identity, and President Liu only thought that he was Nie Tianbao's follower, and did not say anything to Qin Feng, and stepped forward to open the brocade box.
"Huh? This kind of jade is very rare. ”
President Liu's eyesight was much better than Nie Tianbao's, even if he didn't hold a magnifying glass, he could see the peculiarity of this zodiac jade at a glance. After putting on his reading glasses, Chairman Liu began to look at them one by one.
"Good! Good thing, the heirloom jade that opened the door! ”
After picking up the dragon-headed human zodiac jade, President Liu couldn't help but praise: "The person who collects this jade is an expert, and he must take it out every day to play." This jade slurry is thick, and the color is three points into the jade, which is rare...... A rare heirloom treasure! ”
Several steps to identify ancient jade, first of all, we must start from the pulp, erosion, jade, shape, corrosion, ornamentation, knife marks, connoisseurs can see a rough idea at a glance.
President Liu has been in the jade identification industry for decades, and the first feeling is very important, and it gives him the feeling of opening the door as soon as he gets his hands on this thing.
However, it is still necessary to be cautious again and again to help people identify, and after looking at the pulp, President Liu picked up a magnifying glass to carefully examine the jade erosion.
As for the quality of jade, President Liu, who has been pondering jade for half his life, still has this confidence, this must be an ancient jade with a lot of years, and looking at its shape, it should be the Tang Dynasty.
There were a total of twelve pieces of zodiac jade, and President Liu looked at it for nearly two hours, which made Qin Feng a little anxious.
Because he called Li Ran and He Jinlong separately before, and made an appointment to meet at the place arranged by Li Ran, seeing that it was seven o'clock, but this old man had not yet finished the identification.
"Good thing, Xiao Nie, where did you get this set of objects?"
Just when Qin Feng began to get anxious, President Liu finally put down a piece of snake-shaped jade in his hand and said, "This set of jade is in line with the characteristics of ancient jade, whether it is in terms of pulp, erosion, and jade quality......
And these zodiac avatars have both form and god, the clothing of the human body should be worn by the Tang Dynasty, the knife work is particularly exquisite, there is a bit of the shadow of the Han Eight Knife, I dare to say that in the contemporary jade masters, no one can reach this level! ”
President Liu had a very high opinion of this set of jade, and Nie Tianbao on the side was dancing with his eyebrows, the more valuable this object was, the greater his profits, anyway, he had already negotiated the price with Qin Feng, and neither of them could regret it.
"There are really too many lost skills now."
After listening to President Liu's words, Qin Feng was in a different state of mind, although the old man's words represented three million in the account, Qin Feng didn't seem to feel much excitement.
Like the craftsmanship used by Qin Feng, there was still a inheritance in the Kangqian period of the Qing Dynasty, but the country's modern times were turbulent, and many precious crafts have not been passed down.
The rapid development of science and technology has also caused the handicraft industry to suffer an unprecedented blow.
Most of the jade and some carvings that can be seen on the market are machine-processed, and the older generation is gradually aging, and the young people are unwilling to take over, and in a few decades, I am afraid that the existing traditional crafts will not be able to pass on.
As for President Liu's inability to see the authenticity of this set of jade, it was already expected by Qin Feng, because the more experienced the appraiser, the more he would make eye problems.
The most important point of this set of jade carved by Qin Feng is the old jade used, and what President Liu saw at first glance was the quality of jade, and with his eyesight, he naturally recognized that this was an ancient jade that opened the door.
With this preconceived notion in mind, the subsequent identification becomes logical.
Qin Feng's rigorous counterfeiting craftsmanship and exquisite carving knife techniques made this famous old appraiser also lose his eyes. (To be continued......)
