Chapter 17: Zhao Hui
Wei Qiaolan didn't mention that she accompanied her father to dinner, and after Ding Yu returned home, she said to Shen Hong, who was following behind: "Others are not stupid, if we take out the antiques on hand at once, they will definitely suspect the origin of these antiquities; There is also gold, although the state does not prohibit private possession of a large number of gold entities, but we can't get the legal origin of this gold, I am afraid that the above will find this reason to check us! Therefore, we must dispose of it in batches, and the most important thing at the moment is to find a person with a tight mouth and professional ability to help us identify whether this batch of goods has enough collection value! ”
Shen Hong muttered dissatisfiedly: "Above, do we have to worry about being scared for the rest of our lives?" ”
Ding Yu's eyebrows narrowed, and the crow's feet that had worried her quietly appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she said gloomily: "Your father is on the wrong team, what can you do as a child?" For now, let Shen Gang survive this difficulty, and then consider making up for it! ”
Then she looked at Shen Hong with a gentle expression, and she became happy again: "Fortunately, your brother and your father bless you in heaven, let us give you such extraordinary abilities at the last moment when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, even if Shen Gang is really irretrievable, our Shen family will definitely have a chance to make a comeback!" ”
Shen Hong's heart warmed, he stepped forward to hug his mother, lowered his head, and put his chin on his mother's warm shoulders and whispered: "Don't worry, Mom, with me, Shen Gang will not go bankrupt, and the Shen family will not fall from now on!" I am convinced of this! ”
"Mom believes in you!" With tears in his eyes, Ding Yu asked again, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"I'm going to find a remote and sparsely populated warehouse with a large enough area to store the things I brought back......" Shen Hong pondered for a moment, glanced back at his room, and said, "As for this batch of gold and antiques, it is very troublesome to relocate, so let's put it at home for the time being!" I'm all moving to the storage room in a minute, my room is too cramped right now! ”
"It's good!"
When Wei Qiaolan came back, he saw that Ding Yu was placing a half-human-high dragon pattern vase on the side of the escalator, and Shen Hong was nowhere to be seen, so he asked, "Mom, where is the little uncle?" ”
"I went out, I said I was looking for a warehouse!" When Ding Yu saw Wei Qiaolan, he said very happily, "Qiaolan, you came back just in time, these antiques are not easy to deal with for the time being, just decorate our house first!" ”
Wei Qiaolan smiled: "Mom, you are not busy, I asked my dad, he knows an antique collector Zhao Hui, who has his own private exhibition hall in Huating, Beiping, Qiantang and other first- and second-tier cities, I have already asked for the phone number, if you have time tomorrow, I just invite him to come to the house to have a look!" And my dad said that this person has a strong background, maybe he can handle some things that we can't handle conveniently, such as gold! ”
"Zhao Hui...... I've heard of him! Ding Yu groaned, his brows furrowed, "But what about his character, we are not elusive, why don't we invite an archaeological expert to come?" Archaeological experts don't collect, and they don't have a conflict of interest with us, so they won't lie to us, after all, we don't know how much these antiquities are worth, in case that Zhao Hui kills us, we can only suffer a dumb loss! ”
Wei Qiaolan was ashamed and said, "Mom is right, I didn't take this into account!" ”
Ding Yu smiled and said: "Don't dwell on this problem first, since we have won a month, we are not in a hurry for this moment!" Come, help me move things, and by the way, help me see how to display it to look better! ”
"Good!"
……
Shen Hong didn't get home until nine o'clock in the evening, when his mother and sister-in-law were ready to go to bed, and when he saw his son coming back, Ding Yu inevitably chattered: "Why did you come back so late?" ”
"After watching for an afternoon, I finally found a more reasonable warehouse in Donghai Town, south of Pudong Airport! The use of 2,500 square meters, a one-story cement building, closed on three sides, only one metal sliding door, and the periphery is protected by cement walls, covering an area of about seven or eight acres! There is farmland around, but the rent is a bit expensive, 900,000 a year, and it is not good to talk about it a little! ”
"Donghai Town is located in the middle of nowhere, more than ten or twenty kilometers away from Pudong Airport, and the price is 900,000, which is indeed a little expensive!" Wei Qiaolan seems to have just finished taking a shower, wearing only a silk one-piece pajamas, with a plump neckline and a graceful and slender figure. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In order to avoid embarrassment, she approved a coat, but despite this, Shen Hong stared at her fair and plump breasts intentionally or unintentionally, Wei Qiaolan saw this, and glared at him fiercely, her pretty face crimson.
Shen Hong touched his nose in embarrassment, very embarrassed.
"900,000 is 900,000, if it was ...... before" Ding Yu didn't notice Shen Hong's embarrassed appearance, smiled wistfully, then shook his head and said, "Then let's do this first, I'll talk to the owner of the warehouse tomorrow and sign the agreement first!" By the way, Ah Hong, your sister-in-law asked Zhao Hui, the general manager of the Shijian Exhibition Hall, from her father, although it is not appropriate to invite him to appreciate these antiques, after all, we don't know how to do it, I'm afraid we will be fooled by him, but you might as well bring an antique to him tomorrow! Let's see how this person is, whether it's worth making a deep friendship or not! ”
"Zhao Hui? I've met him once, okay, I'll go tomorrow! ”
Ding Yu squinted and glanced at his son: "Let your sister-in-law go with you, after all, you have no social experience, I'm afraid that you will be sold and help you count the money!" As for the warehouse, leave the contact information to me, let me talk to the owner of the warehouse tomorrow! ”
Shen Hong said indignantly: "Mom, you look down on me! What's more, my sister-in-law is only three or four years older than me! ”
"Three or four years old is enough!" Shen Qiaolan covered her mouth and smiled, her amorous appearance made Shen Hong's heart flutter again, and she hurriedly lowered her head again.
"Okay!"
……
"Oh...... Oh...... The glaze is soft and luster, the enamel is thick and even, exuding the brilliance of jade, and it is even more rare that the color is very new, which should be the work of the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty! ”
In a high-end teahouse in Pudong, the speaker is a man in his forties who is not outstanding, he wears black-rimmed glasses, and although his eyes are small, his eyes staring at ceramics are as dazzling as if he is seeing a peerless beauty.
The speaker was Zhao Hui, general manager of the Shijian Exhibition Center and a very famous collector in China.
He glanced at Shen Hong and Wei Qiaolan, who were sitting opposite, and asked, "Whether it is a fake or not, it still needs to be carefully identified, Mr. Shen, Miss Wei, how did you get this green glaze flower mouth wash?" ”
Regarding the origin of antiques, Shen Hong has already unified the caliber with his mother Ding Yu, and he smiled: "Although my father doesn't like to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, my mother has collected a lot of antique porcelain, and I prefer gold!" This time, the Shen family was suddenly robbed, and my mother hoped to save my father's hard work - Shen Gang, so she was ready to raise funds, and selling the family's antiques was also a last resort! ”
Wei Qiaolan said with a smile: "Although our Shen family is not rich and rivals the country, but there are still a lot of antiquities in the family, and my mother-in-law has spent a lot of money to buy a lot of ceramic jade and purple sand bronze from various channels over the years, and this flower mouth wash is just one of them!" However, out of concern, my mother-in-law still hopes to ask an expert to help her identify, at least to know what to do! ”
Is Mrs. Ding of the Shen family a collector? There are no such rumors in the industry, and I have never seen her shadow in auctions and exhibition halls...... Although Zhao Hui was confused, he looked at the ceramics in his hand with an unusually focused expression.
Holding a high-powered magnifying glass and looking closer, Zhao Hui muttered: "There are red and purple spots on the abdomen...... According to the "Essentials of Naturalism" written by Gu Yingtai in the Ming Dynasty, it is recorded that the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty has changed from time to time, and the statues of butterflies, birds, birds, and leopards change color outside the glaze of the natural color, or yellow, or red and purple, and the Xiao type is lovely, which is the illusion of fire, and it is impossible to know...... The situation is basically the same as described in the literature! ”
"The glaze is like melting ice and snow, and the ice and snow have sparse bubbles, which are like morning stars flashing from time to time, and the tire is fragrant gray...... Well, because the firing temperature of the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty was low at that time, the tire was not really sintered, and at the same time, the glaze color was not translucent enough, which was the same as the official kiln works I had seen before! Well...... Lap foot irregular! The production of the Song official kiln, although it is more standardized in terms of shape and technology, but its circle feet are not very regular, and the Song official kiln imitated by later generations, its circle feet are very regular, which is a major flaw in the counterfeit product. ”
Under the strange gaze of Shen Hong and Wei Qiaolan, Zhao Hui chattered for a long time, finally put away the magnifying glass, and then carefully touched the green glaze flower mouth wash for a long time, and then muttered: "Looking at this appearance, the color is very new, and there is no obvious gap and damage, with my twenty years of experience, this green glaze flower mouth wash should be genuine!" However, although I am a collector, I am not an authoritative person who is arbitrary, if I can invite more experts to come up with authoritative opinions, then this green glaze flower mouth wash can be sold for a very good price! ”
"Approximately how much is it worth?" Wei Qiaolan asked with concern.
"The auction house should start bidding at least three million yuan!"
