Chapter 69: Come to the pawnshop
This Jiang Liang seemed to come often, and then said to the receptionist: "You don't need to be too troublesome to just have a cup of tea."
The man nodded, and then withdrew.
Then Jiang Liang explained to Mo Yu: "This person is actually the receptionist, and there is another person who reads calligraphy and painting antiques, and he will come over later."
Mo Yu nodded, in fact, the space is quite large, and there are not only screens around it, but also some small decorations.
It didn't take long for a person to come over with two cups of tea, of course, the person who served the tea was not different from the original receptionist, Mo Yu estimated that it should be the discriminator who came over directly with the tea.
Then this Cheap Pios smiled kindly at the two of them, and gently placed the tea in front of the table of the two people, because Mo Yu and Jiang Liang sat opposite each other, so this discriminator sat in the middle of the two of them.
The discriminator is a person about the same age as Jiang Liang, and the difference from Mo Yu's imagination is that he is not so sophisticated, and if he says it, he may not know this person's profession.
Then the discriminator spoke first: "I wonder what you two need to be?"
Mo Yu planned to have a smaller calligraphy and painting experiment first to see how good this discriminator was, of course, this was agreed with Jiang Liang at the beginning, so Mo Yu didn't speak.
Just watching how Jiang Liang acted.
Jiang Liang glanced at Mo Yu, and then quietly took out a thing from behind with a box on his back, this is the ordinary character of this dynasty, although it is also written by a celebrity, but the time is not long, so it is definitely not particularly valuable.
After taking out the calligraphy and painting, he gently spread it on the table, and the discriminator also helped, and he was very careful in his movements, for fear of breaking the word.
After unfolding it, Jiang Liang smiled and said, "Dare to ask the master how to negotiate the price of this painting?"
This person nodded: "It's not bad, the two of you will drink tea first, and I hope you can wait for a while, forgive me."
Mo Yu wasn't in a hurry, and Jiang Liang also knew the rules, so the two of them took the teacup and drank the tea in their mouths gently.
Mo Yu can be regarded as having tasted tea from the north and south, in fact, the tea leaves of this pawnshop are not bad, and he can give this kind of tea to a person who doesn't know what to take, in fact, it can be regarded as a wealthy pawnshop, which means that I don't care if you take the real product or a fake, what if you give you two cups of tea.
The momentum of the atmosphere is reflected here.
Mo Yu suddenly felt that he was a little short-sighted.
In fact, the time was shorter than Mo Yu imagined, and it didn't take long for this person to be identified, and Mo Yu thought it would take a long time.
Because I feel that this industry is very responsible, once the identification is wrong, I believe that the pawnshop will not bear most of the loss, that is to say, the discriminator may bear most of the loss.
That's why Mo Yu felt that this was too fast.
The discriminator smiled: "The two of you are really quite sincere, this character can be sold by our pawnshop for 2,000 Yu, I don't know what the two of you think?"
Of course, Jiang Liang knew what Mo Yu wanted to hear, so he said to this discriminator: "Don't worry, don't worry, I just want to know how the master can see that our is genuine, we went to several pawnshops, they all said that it was fake, and only gave us two hundred yu, I didn't expect to meet a capable master here!"
This whisker slapping made Mo Yu's heart feel a little funny, but it seemed to have a particularly big effect, although this discriminator didn't say anything, but from the point of view of his demeanor, there was a fluttering feeling.
Of course, Mo Yu wanted to hear the process of identification, not directly to a result, Mo Yu had to say that after such a long time, Jiang Liang still knew his mind best.
This identification is confidently said: "People say that seven points mean three branches, we identify this line is also to look here, since the aspect of forgery is the slightest they do not dare to be bad, so we do not look at the general shape, because we do not need to see, see and know that it is exactly the same, but to distinguish the true from the false, just look at some details, first of all, the word is roughly expanded, first feel the oncoming rhyme, do not want to identify this thing, just feel this rhyme, this is one of them."
"The meaning is right, then it is roughly sixty percent, and then look at the bits and pieces, we specifically understand each painter or calligrapher where their brushstrokes turn, when the brush is writing and painting, everyone's habits are in the place where they don't even know themselves, but sometimes the habit comes, that is naturally also with the hand, when the brush turns, it is as if there is a piece of cloth fluttering in the air, turning, flipping, flipping the strength and the timing of the flip, that is to show that the painter's habit is not coming, it's right when it arrives. ”
Mo Yu memorized every word in his heart, and suddenly felt that there was really a way in it, and he dared to say that he was familiar with the habits of many calligraphers and calligraphers that they did not know about, which made Mo Yu feel surprised and really opened Mo Yu's eyes.
Of course, Mo Yu knew very well what he was talking about, because he also used the brush every day, and he may not know his habits very well when he used the brush, but after this discriminator talked about it today, he suddenly wanted to go back and see if there were any habits that he didn't know about the words he wrote.
Finally, if this cheap force is to talk about the overall word: "I took a cursory look at it when I first opened it, this person's words are not written by ordinary men, although the font is large, but it looks particularly juanxiu, there is a feeling of a small jasper, or put aside all the distractions to see this rhyme, the rhyme must have arrived, I have also seen a lot of copying, there is always a rigid atmosphere, after all, when a man imitates a juanxiu font, there is always a trace of stiffness, but this has no sense of stiffness, If someone doesn't know the calligrapher, they will never say that it was written by a woman. ”
"The second point is when I look at the details, I found that this font in the brush turning, showing a three-dimensional sense of my special familiarity, so I concluded that this character should be true, although I have not seen this character on the market, but I believe that it should be given to a friend by this person, and the above words are showing this idea."
I don't know if this discriminator really wants to show off, or if Jiang Liang's whiskers are in the right place, anyway, this discriminator is very clear, so that Mo Yu, a novice who is getting started, can hear it clearly.
Mo Yu also took a good look at this painting through that method just now, and found that it was really as said.
However, Mo Yu also felt great admiration for this discriminator, because according to what the discriminator said just now, he had never seen this character on the market, and now he dared to say that it was true, I don't know if this discriminator really has his strength, or if it just depends on luck.
Finally, the discriminator talked about the price situation: "This two thousand Yu, I give the two for a reason, if the two are too little, don't be angry, listen to the detailed explanation, there is a good saying, the longer the wine, the more mellow, the longer the person, the more true, the age is a little closer, there are a lot of genuine products on the market, so there are more things on the market, the value of this thing is less, maybe this money is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the two, but it is also for others, it is really impossible to give too much price, If the two of you look at it, you are willing to rise another 500 Yu, 2,500 Yu, and if you are willing, then you will take the risk and accept it. ”
Mo Yu was particularly funny when she heard it, as if we owed you.
And then Mo Yu actually didn't plan to collect these calligraphy and paintings, of course, in addition to the most precious painting, the rest of the sale of a little money is not bad, of course, the most important thing is that Mo Yu doesn't like it very much, there is no calligrapher or painter he likes, but because the most expensive painting is too precious, and it is old, so Mo Yu is unwilling.
At this time, Mo Yu and Jiang Liang gave a look, which meant that this one was okay, and they had already completely discussed it on the way here.
So Jiang Liang said: "Okay, thanks to the master's love, we will no longer negotiate the price of this painting, just according to your opinion, 2,500 Yu."
At this time, the appraiser seems to be happy, and must be happy that he has not raised the price again, so that the appraiser may be able to make more money.
Then this discriminator was ready to go to the counter to get the money happily, and then this Jiang Liang immediately shouted: "Oh, master, don't worry, there are still a lot of them here, why don't you come back and have a look?"
The discriminator patted his head: "Haha, the two forgiveness, I really haven't seen the world before, and I'm a little too happy after finally taking the business."
Then the discriminator continued to come back and sit down, and after sitting down, Jiang Liang continued to take a painting in his box, in fact, Jiang Liang's meaning was also obvious, that is, to tell Mo Yu, I also sold it here, so this price is not something I don't want to raise.
The most important thing is to show loyalty, although Jiang Liang knows that Mo Yu is not such a person, but there is actually no big harm in doing so.
Then the discriminator continued to sit on the bench, and gently looked at the calligraphy and painting that Jiang Liang took out, this is an attic painting, and the entire attic was drawn, as if it was enlarged, and the wood between each attic was painted very clearly, although it was printed on paper, but this painting reflected as if a person was looking at this attic in mid-air, and it was very close.
However, because the age of the painting is not particularly old, it is not very valuable.
This time the discriminator spends a little more time, often the identification of the painting is a little longer than the identification of the word, of course, it is also often, sometimes when meeting some more highly famous celebrity calligraphy and painting, maybe the difference in time will be reversed.
This identification is to look at it for a long time, and then take a deep breath: "I have seen this painting on the market, but it seems to have been bought by a cloth merchant, but I didn't expect it to be collected here by the two, at that time I was very impressed by this painting, the painting is also exquisite and one, but this painting is completely opposite, the seven-minute three-point meaning, the shape of the depiction makes people feel immersive, but the intention is very poor, so many collectors are reluctant to buy this painting."
"At that time, I remember that when the businessman bought this painting, he also paid a lot of money, and no one wanted to buy this painting at that time, the asking price was not particularly high, it only cost a thousand yu, so I didn't take advantage of the two, and the time was not too short, and now this person's fame is slightly higher, and I won't say a price that can be coaxed with the two, I will have two thousand eight hundred yu in one breath."
It seems that this price is quite sincere, of course, this price must be negotiable, no one knows what kind of price the Lin family cloth merchant spent at that time, no one knows whether what this person said is true or not, it is really difficult to determine based on his own words.
But Jiang Liang didn't attach much importance to this matter, and he seemed so sincere, so he naturally wanted to give others a face.
And this thing is already owned by Jiang Liang, Jiang Liang nodded and nodded.
But Jiang Liang still had to reflect Mo Yu's thoughts, so he asked the discriminator again: "What is a three-point meaning seven-point?"
"In fact, the difficulty of this identification is very high, when we meet again, we basically look at the intention, but the degree of this intention is not particularly high, so we need to spend a long time when identifying, once a painting is eight or nine fractals, then in terms of the result, the calligraphy and painting is worthless, too easy to copy, too easy to cause fakes."
"But this word is quite different, in fact, he still has a little rhyme, but it is rumored that this person has been to the West to apprentice, as if some countries in the West are the most particular about a shape when painting, take bamboo as an example, when we paint bamboo, most people paint bamboo when it is very different from the bamboo that grows in the land, do not understand the painting and really don't think that it is bamboo, but it is said that some countries in the West are different, they like to put bamboo knots, scratches, Even the growth lines that are produced are clearly drawn. ”
"So the owner of this word, the author of this word, seems to have a little bit of Western meaning, you see this attic of this painting, the lines are particularly clear, and even this is painted with auxiliary tools, such as a very straight ruler, so there are three points and seven points, if it is said to be other calligraphy and painting, we will definitely not accept it, but because I saw it at the beginning, so it is slightly able to identify a little."
This sentence seems to mean that I accept your calligraphy and paintings is already very face-saving for you, if it is someone else, we will not accept it, which literally makes Mo Yu and Jiang Liang feel very comfortable.
Mo Yu was also an eye-opener, in fact, when he was looking at some calligraphy and paintings, it was just a lively picture, and he was a novice when he saw himself today.
Then Jiang Liang said: "Then I really thank the master, we are willing to accept this price."
This time, the discriminator was finally not so anxious, so he asked: "I don't know if the two of you still need to be anything, or take it out together, if you want to know the details of the identification, I will explain it one by one."
It seems that this discriminator is not particularly stupid, and has fully understood that the two of them not only want to be things, but also want to learn things.
For a discriminator, it seems that these things can't be shared with outsiders, but for a medium-high discriminator, you can't say this kind of literal thing, so I dare to say it, and I also have this confidence.
After all, such a rank does not mean that you can be competent after reading a few books, you still have to test some real skills, and you need a good master to lead you into the door.
Of course, this kind of industry will inevitably have mistakes, so no one dares to guarantee that they will not make mistakes in their lives, and it is also a high-risk and high-return industry, which is particularly risky, so big that it can make you bankrupt with a mistake, and the return is particularly high.
Sometimes you can earn money that others can't earn in a month or a year.
So Mo Yu and Jiang Liang took out all the calligraphy and paintings, and then this discriminator naturally smiled crookedly, and his attitude towards the two of them was turned upside down.
At the beginning, although it was also a sincere gaze, it was always a feeling of copying, and it also had a dull meaning.
However, after so many transactions, too many have completely changed, not only is the tea supply complete, but the snacks have also been completely improved.
The most important and important thing is to change to a relatively large room in the backyard, which has light incense, comfortable seats, and a table dedicated to spreading out calligraphy and painting.
So all the equipment is readily available.
The grade of this tea is naturally up a notch.
In the end, Mo Yu also wanted to know the price of the last painting, so Jiang Liang took the last painting away.
In fact, Mo Yu didn't say a few words during the whole process, it should be said that he didn't speak at all, he kept thinking, and kept remembering some words directly in his mind, just for fear that he would forget them.
And then next.
From the material of the paper, it can be seen that the age of this calligraphy and painting is far older than the previous one.
And the thickness of this calligraphy and painting seems to be far greater than the original calligraphy and painting.
The discriminator's heart suddenly became excited, maybe big business is coming, and he may be able to make a lot of money, I don't know what auspicious day of the zodiac today, ushering in these two distinguished guests.
I also rubbed my hands together, waiting for the next moment to come.
