Chapter 68 Bronze Gluttonous Beast Face Fang
After listening to Nong Jinsun's words, Xia Shu also fell into thinking for a while, and on the way here, he was thinking, what antiques are easy to sell, and what antiques are the most valuable.
Although he is not professional, he also watched CCTV's "Treasure Hunt" that year, and among the antiques, it can be said that porcelain is the most valuable, not to mention the Yuan blue and white, even the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty is also quite valuable.
But the things of the Qing Dynasty Xia Shu obviously don't need to be considered, the age is too close, it is easy to leak, and things like calligraphy, painting and printing stones are very valuable in the Republic of China, and he obviously can't buy any fine products with these two thousand oceans.
In this case, it seems that Natsuki can only make strange moves with his sword.
"Uncle Nong, I don't know where there are better bronzes in so many shops?"
The bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties are old enough.
A small bronze horn cup can be sold for a price of millions, not to mention the Ding, Mustache, Ning, Urn, Gui, Xuan, Weizhong, and Weizhong Fines, and it is not impossible to auction the price of more than 10 million or even 100 million in the auction house.
It doesn't take much, as long as you can get one, Natsuki's economic situation can be greatly improved, and she won't be the poorest traverser.
"Bronze? That thing can be big and small, let's go forward, I happen to know the owner of this Yugong antique. ”
While walking, Nong Jinsun pointed to a shop called Yugong diagonally opposite.
"Yugong?"
Yu collects the gold of Jiumu, casts Jiuding, like Kyushu, since then the bronze has a different identity and status, Yu's tribute, the tone of this shop is not small, I don't know if there are any good things.
Thinking so, Natsuki walked into the store with Nong Jinsun behind him.
Bronzes as alloy artifacts are easier to preserve than ceramic bricks and tiles, coupled with the persistent tomb robbers of various dynasties and generations, the survival of bronzes is still very large, only because the four old were used as waste copper and rotten iron melted a lot, the number is suddenly scarce.
Rare is expensive, a lot of bronze in the later generations really can't sell the price, there is a fixed number in the dark, the prosperity of antiques in later generations is not a coincidence.
"Yo, isn't this an old farmer, what kind of wind blew you to me?"
An old man with small round glasses and a long robe greeted him.
"Lao Ye, don't come to harm, today I will bring a junior to take care of your business, you have to give us a good discount!"
Before the things were bought, Nong Jinsun cut the price for Xia Shu first.
"It's easy to say, I don't know what this gentleman wants to buy? My shopkeeper specializes in bronzes, both from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and from the Qin and Han dynasties. ”
Confirming that Natsuki is the buyer, Lao Ye asked Natsuki directly, and at the same time, he could also see that this was a master who was not bad for money.
To be honest, Xia Shu is actually quite poor in money, he regrets that he only brought three gold bars out, if he exchanged all the more than 400,000 US dollars for gold bars, no, it should be all exchanged for silver ingots, he would probably be able to buy this shop.
It's a pity that Natsuki's storage equipment is not enough at all, and even if he buys the bronzes of this shop, he can't bring them back.
"I want a little strange utensils, not too big, I don't know if Boss Ye has it here?"
"Yes, why not, Mr. came with me inside, and what was placed outside were some ordinary and visible Ding, Jue, the real good things Allah was flowing in Nitou!"
"Then I'll have to see it!"
Although I don't know much, Xia Shu also knows how much the bronzes are worth it is a comprehensive assessment of the age, type, integrity, ornamentation and inscriptions are all pluses, and followed Lao Ye to the back room, only to see that the shelves were all about the same size, but the shape was very different.
"Mr. Xia, take a look, this batch of wine vessels came in from Changsha after I wasted my strength."
"Changsha? Old Nine Gates? ”
Hearing this, Xia Shuxia asked.
"Hey, Mr. Xia is quite knowledgeable! But if you don't dig down this year, where can there be so many good treasures! ”
I didn't expect it to be related to the old Jiumen, but Xia Shu felt that this old Jiumen was not the same Lao Jiumen, after all, there was no such person as Wang Zanghai in the Ming Dynasty in this world, but the nature was the same, they were all families who made their fortune by robbing tombs.
"What Boss Ye said is that if the dead and the living play with the things of the dead, then they will be popular, and they can be regarded as revitalizing things, and so many bronzes throughout the ages have not been dug up from the tomb."
In ancient times, there was no such profession as archaeology, and only official thieves such as the captain of the gold school were officially certified.
"Mr. Xia is an understanding person, it is fate to be able to meet in my small store today, no matter what Mr. Xia fancies, I will give a 50% discount to Lao Ye!"
Boss Ye said it very refreshingly, but I don't know if this five-percent discount is a price increase first and then a discount or a real five-percent discount, but no matter what, Xia Shu has to express his gratitude verbally.
"That's thank you Boss Ye, my father loves to drink, I just want to buy a few wine vessels for him, these thousands of years ago wine vessels were used to drink a little ruined, but just looking at him there is comfortable, I don't know what good advice Boss Ye has in these wine vessels."
Xia Shu didn't know if his traverser father liked to drink or not, and whether he used a ding or a jar to drink, but this meaning had already arrived, and he saw that Boss Ye pondered for a moment and picked up a boxy "jar" on the shelf.
"This late Shang Dynasty bronze gluttonous beast face is very rare, flat and square, especially there is a cover on it, it must be quite magnificent when used as an ornament at home."
"And the condition of this beast-faced Fang Wei is the best in this batch of bronzes that came out together, last time a rich devil came to find a relatively rare wine vessel, and I directly sent it away with a broken jar, how can such a good thing be given to those gang of invaders, I will not sell it to them when I close the door."
I didn't see it, this Boss Ye is also bloody, but there is still a bit of cunning in this blood, and he must have cheated the Japanese a lot of money in that business.
"I'll see!"
Picking up the beast face Fang Wei put down by Boss Ye from the stage, Xia Shu only felt that the breath of history was blowing in his face, and the mana of Maoshan in Xia Shu's body was running much faster for a while.
That's right, this feeling can't be faked, it's the real thing, or the best of the best.
"Boss Ye, how much is this beast-faced square?"
"Four thousand oceans, according to what I said before, I will sell you for two thousand."
"One thousand eight, I only have so much money on me!"
In addition to the money spent on renting a house, Natsuki also has to keep a little to live, and this thousand eight is indeed all the money he can come up with.
"Okay, everyone should know each other about this business, Mr. Xia will come to Shanghai in the future, and he must take care of the small shop business!"
"Definitely, definitely, thank you Boss Ye this time!"
