Chapter 15 Ivory Miniature Carving
Boss Ma in the black market, when he heard the offer of 30 million, his eyes were red, and the price of 3,000 yuan was collected and sold according to the book, but he didn't expect that people would change hands, and it would nearly increase by 10,000 times.
At this time, Boss Ma actually regretted it a little, but the thing has been sold, and there is no way to regret it, if he regrets it, I am afraid that he will not want to gain a firm foothold in the antique industry in the future.
Compared with the 30 million in front of us, we still have to look farther.
"How about it, young man, it's 30 million, you have to think carefully about whether to sell it or not?" Boss Zhou, who bid 30 million, stared at Ye Feng with a smile.
"Not for sale." Ye Feng shook his head firmly and said, "This boss, if you are interested, you can take a look at the next thing." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Zhang Kexin and the things they took down were only the Huanghuali pen holder, except for this decaying bronze long sword.
Could it be that this kid is talking about Huanghuali pen holder? No kidding!
Although this thing is worth a little money, it is not that valuable at all, otherwise, they would have continued to increase the price just now.
"Young man, don't be kidding, we don't have much interest in this Huanghuali pen holder!" A boss said with a smile.
"yes, we're not really interested in this thing......
Ye Feng smiled and said nothing, looking mysterious, the more he was like this, the more suspicious several bosses felt.
Could it be that there is something hidden in this Huanghuali pen holder?
Thinking of the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword in the decaying bronze long sword, several people's hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but ponder.
The appraiser followed by a woman in her early thirties, since Ye Feng saw the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword from the decaying bronze long sword, she began to look at Ye Feng differently, this kind of eyesight is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, even some famous appraisers can't do it.
For example, he looked at the entire line of Chinese antiques, and he was a well-known existence, but he did not discover the secrets inside the decaying bronze long sword.
"Young man, I see that your eyesight is very good, but I am still very puzzled, what is different about this Huanghuali pen holder? If I'm not mistaken, this should be a very ordinary Huanghuali pen holder? The appraiser of the woman in her early thirties looked at Ye Feng and said with some doubts.
"Well, this Huanghuali pen holder is indeed just an ordinary Huanghuali pen holder." Ye Feng nodded.
"Since that's the case, then you ......" The appraiser of the woman in her early thirties did not finish the rest of the words, he believed that Ye Feng understood the meaning of his unfinished words.
"Master, in fact, what I fancy is not this Huanghuali pen holder, but the inside of the pen holder." Ye Feng said with a smile, since he wants to unlock the secret in the Huanghuali pen holder in public, there is nothing to hide.
The appraiser of a woman in her early thirties was stunned when she heard this: "The inside of the pen holder? Isn't this empty? Did you say that there is a mezzanine on the outer wall of this cylinder? ”
Ye Feng nodded, turned the pen holder upside down, and through the perspective ability of his eyes, he clearly saw the ivory micro-carving hidden at the bottom of the pen holder, and at the same time, he also clearly saw the mechanism of the pen holder.
After the Huanghuali pen holder was turned upside down, the place where the bottom was connected to the waist revealed a faint round mark, which would definitely be ignored if you didn't look carefully. Of course, even if you look closely, it is easy to be overlooked, after all, the round mark looks like the connection point between the bottom and the waist.
"Is there a carving knife?" Ye Feng looked around and asked.
"Yes, yes, yes." The appraiser of a woman in her early thirties answered in a row, took out a carving knife that she had with her, and handed it over.
He is not only an ordinary appraiser, but also a well-known figure in the jadeite carving circle.
Ye Feng took the carving knife, pressed it on the circle marks around the bottom of the pen holder, and turned the circle, and soon, the circle marks became more and more obvious.
Interlayer? There is a sandwich inside the pen holder......
Seeing this scene, everyone is almost sure that there is a mezzanine in this Huanghuali pen holder, but I don't know, what kind of treasure is in the mezzanine?
The carving knife is very sharp, and after turning back and forth a few times, there is a faint trace of falling off at the bottom of the pen holder, at this time, Ye Feng gently picked it with the carving knife, and the bottom of the pen holder was picked up.
"Ye Feng, wait a minute." Just as Ye Feng was about to remove the bottom wall of the Huanghuali pen holder, the voice of the beautiful proprietress Zhang Kexin rang out.
"Sister Zhang......" Ye Feng looked at Zhang Kexin suspiciously.
"Ye Feng, although I bought this thing, but it was reminded by you, so if there is really something hidden in the mezzanine at the bottom of the pen holder, no matter how much it sells, we will divide it equally." Zhang Kexin said with a slight smile.
According to her understanding of Ye Feng, if she didn't say it in advance, no matter how much the contents of the pen holder were sold for, Ye Feng would definitely not want it.
Ye Feng's heart trembled, the boss's sudden words made him couldn't help but get excited, and he nodded and agreed to meet the boss's firm smile.
The bottom of the pen holder was removed, and Ye Feng took out an ivory miniature sculpture sealed with paraffin wax from inside, with a statue of an Indian engraved on the front and some strange fonts engraved on the back, although I don't know what the word is, it must be related to the Indians.
Ye Feng had already seen through these things with his eyes, so he naturally felt that there was nothing strange, but the others were different, one by one, their eyes widened, and they stared at the ivory micro-carving that Ye Feng took out from the mezzanine at the bottom of the pen holder.
The appraiser of the woman in her early thirties was the first of these appraisers to react, took out the magnifying glass she carried with her, took the ivory microsculpture wrapped in paraffin wax from Ye Feng's hand and studied it carefully.
The magnifying glasses used by these appraisers are not the kind sold on the ordinary market, they belong to the special magnifying glasses for archaeology, and the most common magnification ratio is also thirty times higher, after all, for appraisers, everything must be carefully identified, and no tiny detail can be missed.
Just a glance, the appraiser of a woman in her early thirties just glanced at it, and the expression on her face froze, but it was just a blink of an eye, and he hid it well.
After reading it, the appraiser of the woman in her early thirties handed the ivory miniature carving to Ye Feng's hand, and then walked back to the woman in her early thirties.
Several other appraisers took the ivory miniature carving from Ye Feng's hand one after another, and looked at it carefully one by one.
There are rules for viewing this kind of fragile items, and whoever takes it from will have to return it to whose hand, so that if something goes wrong in the future, everything has nothing to do with you.
"Master Liu, how is it? Is this thing real? The woman in her early thirties asked quietly.
"Really, the carving is extremely exquisite, and it is an absolute master-level work, which is definitely not inferior to any of the ivory miniature carvings currently known in the Western market."
"Buy it." The woman in her early thirties spat out a few words faintly and said no more.
It's just that the eyes that looked at Zhang Kexin and Ye Feng changed a little, and for Zhang Kexin, the hostility was even more angry, as for the eyes that looked at Ye Feng, it was actually a little ambiguous and provocative with Chiguoguo, and more importantly, the two arms also squeezed out a deep groove in the middle.
Ye Feng felt a chill in his heart, and now he roughly understood why the boss lady had such a deep dislike for this woman, it seemed that it had a lot to do with this woman's life style......
"Miss Zhang, how about selling this thing to us, as for the price, you can set a price yourself!" The appraiser of a woman in her early thirties turned her eyes to Zhang Kexin and said slowly.
Although this thing was taken out of the pen holder by Ye Feng, the pen holder was bought by Zhang Kexin, so the owner of this ivory miniature carving is still Zhang Kexin.
"Ye Feng, what do you think of the value of this thing?" Zhang Kexin turned his gaze to Ye Feng and asked.
Ivory miniature carvings do not have any circulation in the domestic market, and the specific value is not very clear to her.
Ye Feng smiled faintly and didn't speak, to be honest, he didn't know how much this ivory miniature sculpture was worth, but from the performance of the appraiser of a woman in her early thirties just now, he could be sure that this thing was definitely worth a lot.
Although the appraiser of the woman in her early thirties had a very good expression just now, it was so fleeting that almost everyone didn't notice it, but this scene was keenly detected by Ye Feng, and with his perspective ability, no subtle change in anyone's expression could escape his eyes.
"This boss, you should know the value of this fine ivory miniature carving better than me, if Boss Zeng really wants it, open a suitable price, which can be regarded as showing Boss Zeng's sincerity." Ye Feng smiled and turned his gaze to the woman in her early thirties, her eyes were very natural, and she looked at her without the slightest afterglow.
By saying this, he kicked the ball back to the side of a woman in her early thirties.
Ye Feng knew that this woman asked his appraiser to come forward, and let herself make a price, playing psychological warfare, they were gambling, betting that they didn't know the true value of this ivory miniature carving.
Zhang Kexin has been paying attention to Ye Feng's performance since a woman in her early thirties cast an unscrupulous and provocative gaze at Ye Feng, and at this time, she smiled, and smiled very easily.
Facing Ye Feng's gaze, a woman in her early thirties glanced at Ye Feng seriously for the first time, to be honest, after Zhang Kexin's introduction from the beginning, she didn't care much about this young man, after all, the antique industry is about experience and insight, a hairy boy in his early twenties, even if his eyesight is good, how good can it be?
However, Ye Feng's unexpected watch was far more powerful than other appraisers, first the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword in the decaying bronze long sword, and then the fine ivory miniature carving in the middle of the Huanghuali pen holder.
