It's not difficult to sell monkey tickets.

Wang Yi didn't even have to work hard to find an antique market or auction company.

In recent years, the Weng Chau municipal government has been vigorously promoting the reconstruction of old villages and towns on the outer islands, and every month the villages on the island are demolished.

So the municipal government contacted a reputable antique shop and opened a counter directly in the municipal urban construction hall, and came to the door with old objects, and then a professional treasure connoisseur came to receive it.

Wang Yi went to the dock to give Uncle Bo money, but Uncle Bo refused: "Xiao Zhou will reimburse me for the oil money, you can rest assured, I didn't run errands for you in vain." ”

But it's a human favor after all.

He left the dismantled Huazi.

This time, Uncle Bo did not refuse.

After going ashore, he went straight to the collection counter of the municipal urban construction hall, and a beautiful cheongsam girl was saying goodbye to an old couple with a smile: "Grandparents, remember to give me a good review." ”

Wang Yi leaned on the counter and looked in secretly.

The cheongsam is open to the knees, not to the thighs.

Bad reviews.

The old couple left with a smile, and Wang Yi went over to explain his intentions.

The cheongsam girl said: "Then sir, please show the collection, I will take pictures and send them to the treasure expert we hired to see, and then we will proceed to the next process." ”

"It should be reminded that there is an appraisal fee of 100 yuan for each item, and if your collection is sold to our store, the appraisal fee will be waived."

"If you are a participant in the municipal new island and new rural reconstruction project, the appraisal fee will be discounted, that is, ten yuan for the appraisal of the same collection."

Wang Yi understood, and took out the monkey ticket first.

The cheongsam girl took a picture and sent it out.

He was about to take fish gelatin, and a voice message came from the cheongsam girl's mobile phone: "Xiaoyou, take the distinguished guest to the second floor to me." ”

Things are easy to do.

There were several offices on the second floor that belonged to antique shops, and Wang Yi went in, and a middle-aged man in a Tang costume and monocle with Buddhist beads in his hand smiled at him.

Xiaoyou gave an introduction, saying that the middle-aged man's surname is Yuan Hui, and he is a famous treasure connoisseur in the Jiangnan area, a contracted expert of the Municipal Museum, and a visiting professor of the History Department of Wengzhou University.

So Wang Yi called him Teacher Yuan.

Teacher Yuan was very kind and said, "You show me the monkey ticket, it looks genuine in the photo, but the preservation is too new, and the new one is not normal, so you have to be mentally prepared." ”

These words made Wang Yi chuckle in his heart.

He had forgotten about it.

The normal monkey ticket has existed for more than 40 years, and Zhang Youxin has only survived for two years for him!

He nervously took out the monkey ticket.

Yuan Hui put on his gloves and motioned for him to put the deerskin cushion on the table, then took out a ruler and said while measuring:

"The specifications of the 80 monkey ticket are 26 and 31 millimeters, and the perforation is 11 and a half degrees, painted by the famous painter Huang Yongyu, designed by Shao Bolin, and carved by Jiang Weijie, these three are all famous masters, but Mr. Wang should not understand, right?"

Wang Yi nodded.

Yuan Hui measured quickly and said, "The size is no problem." ”

He changed it to a magnifying glass to observe, and continued to explain: "Master Huang is the Taishan Beidou of printmaking, and the original painting of the monkey ticket he drew is both physical and spiritual, and the spirit is vivid. ”

Wang Yi said: "Yes, is there a problem with this? ”

Yuan Hui continued to look carefully and said, "There is no problem, of course there is no problem!" Look at how great this monkey ticket is, with a bright red background, festive and auspicious, and everyone loves it. ”

He looked slowly from beginning to end, and looked at it for a full ten minutes before raising his head: "It's time to turn on the light, whether it's really the best under the light." ”

These words made Wang Yi wonder.

In that case, why did you bother with all this stuff just now? Isn't it okay to just turn on the lights?

Facts have proved that there is a natural reason why Yuan Hui does not directly turn on the lights.

It's a hassle to put on the lights.

First, you have to turn on three infrared cameras to monitor the two people without dead ends, and then close the doors and curtains to form a dark room, and then turn on a special light.

During the operation, Yuan Hui explained to Wang Yi:

"I'll tell you why you want to put on the lights, the Gengshen New Year monkey ticket is overprinted with photocopy and engraving intaglio. Master Huang's original manuscripts are colorful and layered, but the stamps are so small that it is difficult to show his superb skills. ”

"Generally speaking, the stamp engraving technique is a cross pattern, the monkey stamp is different, it is according to the growth law of monkey hair and the painter's pen trend to engrave the wiring, which is the reason why the monkey hair is visible under the magnifying glass just now."

"However, this technique is artistically expressive, but there is a problem in printing proofing, the red background after overprinting will always be red through the engraving lines, making the color look black but not black, red and not red, which is ugly."

In order to solve this problem, Mr. Shao, who was in charge of the design, drew a black photocopy and lined it underneath to cover the red, so that the effect of the combined overprint is that the ink is full and heavy, and some parts are shiny.

A dim light lit up.

On the monkey ticket, the monkey and the red background are black.

But the lights became brighter and brighter, and the black monkeys became clearer and brighter, and the ears were especially bright, as if they were glowing.

Yuan Hui exclaimed: "It looks black from a distance, and if you look closely, the square sense is exquisite, is it classic or not?" This is where you can't fake, you are a real ticket, all real tickets! ”

Wang Yi held his breath.

And then there's the most important thing: this monkey ticket is too new.

Speaking of which, it has been collected by Zhang Youxin for two years, and there is some wear, but this wear and tear is too light compared to the traces left by the forty years of time.

As a result, Yuan Hui didn't bother with this matter at all.

He opened the door and window and said, "The ticket is a real ticket, and the condition is good, if Mr. Wang, you are willing to sell it to our store, then I will set a price for you?" ”

Wang Yi said: "Of course I am willing, Mr. Yuan just gave me advice and told me all the information unabashedly, this sincerity made me very moved, I thank you and trust you very much, so if your store can accept it, then we will make a deal today." ”

If you say good things and don't pay taxes, Mr. Wang still has to talk about it?

Yuan Hui said: "We Wengzhou City is quite rare to see monkey tickets, but the just-concluded capital spring auction has a monkey ticket, which is 10,000 and 300 yuan, and the quality of the monkey ticket is not as good as your six, so your six tickets, our store is willing to give a price of 11,000 yuan each." ”

Wang Yi was stunned.

Too cheap, right?

He said, "Huh? Doesn't it say that a monkey ticket is a suite? Talent, only 10,000? ”

Yuan Hui was also stunned: "A monkey ticket and a suite? Even Master Huang's handwritten signature back then was not worth the money! ”

"You're talking about a monkey ticket and a suite, right? A version of monkey tickets is forty-eight, and the price of selling together is about more than one million, so there is this saying! ”

Wang Yi silently took out his mobile phone and began to search the dog.

Yuan Hui explained: "Mr. Wang, let me tell you the truth, the 80 version of the monkey stamp is the first zodiac stamp issued by my country, and it is the leader of the zodiac stamps. ”

"It is true that its position is unshakable, because there is a saying in the collection market that it is better to collect the dragon head than the phoenix tail, but after all, it is only four decades apart, and it is impossible to sell it at a sky-high price."

What he said was true.

The same is true of the information Wang Yi found.

Not only does it say so on the news, but there are also discussion posts about monkey tickets in the collection post bar.

As we all know, the sticker brother may not have anything, but they are proficient in everything.

Seeing that he was depressed and silent, Yuan Hui said in a good voice: "Otherwise, I would have given 60,000 yuan for six sheets, and I think you are a happy person, so I will also give you a price of 70,000 yuan in total, how about it?" ”

Wang Yi said resolutely: "No, although this is not a version of mine, it is also six consecutive sheets - a fixed price, 100,000!" ”

Yuan Hui couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Wang, you really dare to open your mouth, this monkey ticket is really not so valuable." ”

"If you don't believe that you put it on the Internet, I won't let you go outside to inquire, lest you think that I colluded with my peers to trap you, and you put the antique shop outside the Internet to bid you, if it can exceed 70,000 transactions, then I will make up for you how much it exceeds!"

He continued: "Mr. Wang, you can go outside to inquire about the reputation of me and our Guanbao Zhai, but I work in the Municipal Museum and Wengzhou University, if I do the work of abduction and abduction, people are not allowed to trouble my unit?" ”

"I'll be honest with you, we are not cooperating with the city government to set up this stall to make money, but to connect with the government, and the other is also to reduce taxes, so the price we give you must be the highest price in the market!"

Wang Yi had the heart to go out and find two more antique shops to ask for prices, but first, he was thin-skinned and embarrassed to run away, and second, Yuan Hui was really sincere, and the information he revealed was almost the same as what he found on the Internet.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Eighty thousand is okay?" ”

Yuan Hui said helplessly: "I don't want to look like I'm awesome or tough, so I won't bargain for you, but I'm not good at bargaining, so I often give people the bottom price - forget it, add two thousand yuan, seventy-two." ”

"I haven't received any good goods in my hands this week, my performance is not good, I don't want to make money from you, just earn performance and fame."

Wang Yi nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, then let's make a deal." ”

Yuan Hui took out his mobile phone and said, "Xiaoyou, come up with the contract and the camera, it's finally time to open the pot today." ”

Taking advantage of the time when Guan Bao Zhai was making the contract, Wang Yi inquired: "Mr. Yuan, do you collect a lot of collectibles from the seventies and eighties?" ”

"You want to ask about the red collectibles, right?" Yuan Hui asked.

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes." ”

Yuan Hui said: "Collect, but not much, in the nineties, it was almost scraped by Shanghai businessmen." ”

Wang Yi remembered the set of porcelain carvings in Wang Xianghong's house, and asked: "There is a set of porcelain carvings I don't know if you have heard of it, it is produced by JDZ, called "Rent Collection Courtyard", a set of many ......."

"The white porcelain burning in the rent collection yard is not about the big landlord Liu Wencai bullying the people?" Yuan Hui immediately answered.

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”

Yuan Hui's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest, "Do you have this set of porcelain burning?" Are you sure it's a set? A set of fifty-four porcelain. ”

Wang Yi said vaguely: "It's hard to say whether it's a set or not, I also saw it at a relative's house, so I have an impression." ”

Yuan Hui said: "If this set of porcelain is complete, it will be worth it, and it will be sold for a total of 200,000 yuan." But as long as there is one less value, it is poor, if it is a single few, it is not worth much, one is at most one hundred and eighty yuan, and it can be seen in the scattered market. ”

Wang Yi wasn't sure if Wang Xianghong's house was a complete set, and it wasn't his own, he was just curious to ask.

So he digressed the topic and asked, "Then why don't you go to the market and collect the piecemeal?" ”

"Change for whole money?" Yuan Hui said with a smile: "This doesn't work, because at that time, when it was fired, each furnace came out differently, and there were words underneath, which was a gift to each model commune." ”

Wang Yi nodded.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know the fish gelatin?" ”

Yuan Hui said: "The water of fish gelatin is deep, I have a little understanding, but this is just empty talk is useless, if you have fish gelatin that needs to be identified in the future, you have to take the real thing, I will see it on the spot." ”

Wang Yi said: "I take this with me. ”

He opened his backpack and took out the whole package of fish gelatin.

Yuan Hui leaned in and took a look.

Then he slammed his shoulder.

Wang Yi looked up in amazement.

Yuan Hui looked at the fish gelatin and asked, "Little brother, you just emphasized that the monkey ticket is worth a suite, don't you have a house yet?" ”

Wang recalled: "No. ”

Yuan Hui said: "Then you have it right away, at least with a down payment!" ”
