294 No Regrets
The value of the material itself, the scarcity, the allusions and anecdotes that circulate it, and the identity and popularity of the related objects have an impact on the value of the item, and it is not even under the influence of age.
For example, the value of itself.
Two objects of the same style and the same background in the Song Dynasty are made of one gold and one iron, so the gold one will definitely be more valuable than the iron one. Even hundreds, thousands, of the value is not surprising; Take, for example, scarcity.
The five famous kilns of Song porcelain: Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln, and Ding kiln. In terms of the quality of the porcelain produced by the same name, in fact, there is also a spring and autumn, and there is no difference.
But in today's antique market, the price of Jun porcelain far exceeds that of the other four kilns. It is because the number of Jun porcelain handed down is very small.
'Rare things are precious', this truth is vividly embodied here.
For example, telling stories.
The most famous here is the 'Jade Seal'. It is indeed carved from beautiful jade, and it has indeed been passed down for a long time. However, the jade of his contemporaries may not have a material inferior to his.
However, with this value, it is "Bian He Split Feet", "Lin Xiangru Returns to Zhao Completely", "Qin Shi Huang Carved 'Ordered to Die, Longevity Yongchang'", "The Queen Mother Throws the Seal", "Golden Bag Jade Horn", "Sun Jian Runs at Night", and countless other allusions. Coupled with its identity as a 'heirloom jade seal', this piece of jade will be far behind in terms of value.
And the 'identity of the user', which affects the value of antiques, is even easier to understand.
The tickle of an emperor's back is definitely worth more than the tickle of a farmer's back.
It's the same now, the suit worn by Yao Ming is more valuable than the suit worn by Bilu Jinjia.
This is the nominal effect.
………… At this point, Zhang Jin finally believed.
-- This string of beads is indeed priceless!
Because whether it is the value of its own material, or the scarcity, or the allusion anecdotes, or related objects, this string of 'Twelve Buddha Blessing Jewels' is not missing.
………… When Mr. Liu gave Zhang Jin and Ye Hong, a pair of laymen in the collection world, a simple way to clear the illiteracy, then cherished the string of colorful and bright-colored beads back to Zhang Jin's hands, and solemnly advised:
"This is a great treasure, you must take care of it. As a family heirloom, pass it on! ”
It's a pity that Old Man Liu's solemnity didn't affect Zhang Jin, he was still so careless.
Zhang Jin took the string of 'Twelve Buddha Blessing Jewels' in his hand and weighed it for a while, then handed it to Ye Hong casually, and said very carelessly:
"Since these Buddhas can keep you safe, then wear them for you!"
"I don't want it, I just look good, and when I'm tired of playing after two years, I'll give it back to you! I'm not used to wearing this kind of thing, and I don't dare to bring it. Think about having such an expensive thing on your wrist, and you feel tired when you lift your arm. I'm afraid of bumping, bumping, and losing, I can't stand it! ”
After taking over this fantastic and beautiful bracelet, Ye Hong, who was full of love, said while playing with it.
"Oh, that's fine!"
Zhang Jin was not surprised by Ye Hong's answer, and after answering casually, he turned his head and said to Old Man Liu nonchalantly:
"Uncle Liu, if you want me to say that this thing is a waste for me, and besides, I am not so interested in collecting, and there is no place to store it with confidence.
I think you seem to like it too, otherwise, when we get tired of playing with the leaves in our house, you can just make a price and buy it!
Your hometown has a big business, you must be able to afford it, and there is a place to put it! ”
Although this 'Twelve Buddha Blessing Jewels' is beautiful, the value is amazing. But Zhang Jin is really not very interested in it. ..., when it comes to treasures, in his "Three Kingdoms of Martial Arts" system, there are countless treasures that can be comparable to, or even better.
It's just that most of the treasures in the system can't be exposed, and they can't be easily cashed out.
And now, this 'Twelve Buddha Blessing Jewels' is not only incomparable to himself, but also can be cashed out openly in exchange for a ticket that can make his life more comfortable.
Zhang Jin naturally wouldn't be a miser, holding this string of beads in the palm of his hand and refusing to let go.
Therefore, when Zhang Jin said the word 'transfer', not only did he not have the slightest reluctance in his heart, but he was even happy to see it.
Although Zhang Jin is not precious to this bead at all, he even looks down on it. But don't get in, but you can't.
Zhang Jin's voice just fell...... "uh......"
"Don't!"
At the same time, Old Man Liu and Ye Hong, the old and the young, showed diametrically opposite reactions.
Old Man Liu was suddenly stunned, he couldn't imagine that with Zhang Jin's 'such vision', he would so easily let this thing that can be called a 'heavy treasure' be transferred without careful play.
Comparing his heart to his heart, Old Man Liu thought that if he and Zhang Jin changed positions, it would be difficult for him to be so free and easy, and he had no nostalgia. It's like spinning out a toy that I've been tired of playing with for a long time.
Until now, this old man who loves collecting still thinks that Zhang Jin, like himself, is the same kind of person who loves collecting. He believes that if you don't really love this industry, you must not be able to train a pair of eyes to such a 'fiery eye'.
As for Ye Hong, when he heard about such a beautiful thing, Zhang Jin wanted to give it up, but he was inevitably a little reluctant, and when he was excited, he couldn't help but stop it.
However, Ye Hong's 'don't' had just been exported, and he had already realized that Zhang Jin's words were very reasonable.
Whether Zhang Jin is a small building in Haiwozi Village, or the top-floor duplex in Shenzhen, or his parents' residence in Beijing, it is obviously not a well-defended place.
Have such a priceless thing at home, and you have to stay by it every time you are worried about theft?
Looking at the dream-like and beautiful bracelet in his hand, Ye Hong seemed to see the 'Supreme Ring'. Then, I remembered the 'Gollum' who had been lonely in the cave for 500 years after getting the Ring, the poor and pathetic one!
Therefore, Ye Hong, a little girl whose resistance to temptation is comparable to that of 'Hobbit Entering', quickly figured things out and stood on Zhang Jin's side.
As soon as the word 'don't' was exported, he immediately changed his tone:
"Okay!"
Ye Hong doesn't want her energy to become a realistic version of 'Gollum'!
Seeing that Zhang Jin and Ye Hong, the man and woman, had reached an agreement, and had long coveted this string of beads, but Old Man Liu, who had a bad face, was a little excited.
"Xiao Zhang, are you serious?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Jin was very casual, but nodded sincerely.
So, Old Man Liu stared at the string of beads placed on Ye Hong's palm and groaned, he needed to preliminarily formulate a suitable price.
After a long time, Old Man Liu spoke again:
"Eighty million! Xiao Zhang, what do you think? Although it is not certain whether this string of beads is the legendary 'Twelve Buddha Blessing Orbs', in my estimation, I am afraid that it is this thing.
Therefore, even if this treasure is still not famous, but the material and craftsmanship are combined, I think his value should not be as different as the twelve bronze beast heads of the Great Water Law of the Old Summer Palace.
Therefore, I made a bid at the price of the twelve bronze beast heads. What do you think? ”
For people such as the Liu family, the Beigong family, the Kong family...... For these super families distributed in Shijie countries and hidden out of sight, the so-called rich people on the Forbes list are just jokes. …,
If they want, with the financial resources they can use, they can easily crush the industry of any Forbes billionaire with a toppling advantage.
No skill is required, just a naked pouring is enough. Because the difference in strength between them is so great, almost equivalent to the gap between a heavyweight champion and an infant baby.
Therefore, if Old Man Liu simply wants to get closer to Zhang Jin, he can even invest hundreds of millions of dollars to buy this 'Twelve Buddha Blessed Jewels' from Zhang Jin regardless of cost or original value.
A mere few hundred million yuan is not a big amount for the huge Liu family.
But Old Man Liu didn't do this, he just quoted according to his exact estimate.
Don't flatter or underreport!
First, in order to ensure that I have always insisted on the impartiality of the collecting industry, and maintain my identity as a pure collector in the collecting industry; The second is because after getting along several times, Mr. Liu changed his mind. He really wants to make a friend with the Zhang family, a father and son, a real friend, not the kind of close relationship that is connected and maintained through interests.
Therefore, it is very important to be fair, fair and equal in our interactions.
Regarding Old Man Liu's offer, Zhang Jin did not fall into a pie-like emotion and surprise, nor was he dissatisfied or greedy enough, nor did he hesitate or entangle, but just smiled faintly:
"Okay, just according to the price Uncle Liu said. After a while, our leaves are tired of playing. I'll send you this string of beads. ”
Zhang Jin's words are very light, just like in the vegetable market, when buying and selling cabbage and bargaining.
-- Two cents and eight pounds? Okay, the twenty catties of cabbage you wanted, when I collect it from the field, I will send it to your home.
This indifferent and casual expression made Old Man Liu think of Zhang Jin's father when he first met him again, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart:
"Indeed, 'If there is a father, there must be a son!' ”
In a few words, it was agreed that at the end of the first month, when Zhang Jin and Ye Hong left Beijing, they would hand over the bracelet to Mr. Liu.
Then, after Mr. Liu took the trouble to explain the maintenance method of this bracelet, Zhang Jincai pulled Ye Hong, who carefully put away the bracelet, and walked out of the box with Mr. Liu, and walked to the restaurant on the top floor
