Chapter 67: Money is hard to buy
The representative works of "Sanhe Liu" include the head of a tall monk, the head of a short monk, the smacking stick, the gourd of teeth, etc., which are highly respected by later generations, and their value has also surpassed the official mold of Fengzeyuan.
However, the "Sanhe Liu" gourd was difficult to find at that time, and in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, it was no longer a "thing" that ordinary people could afford.
Therefore, this object, like people, should still be based on the ability to really use it, and if it is not used, it will eventually fall behind.
Seeing that Yu Bo had a match, before Chang Xian could answer, Zheng Mang hurriedly asked, "Brother Yu, is this thing really worth 100,000 yuan?" ”
"100,000 yuan is definitely worth ......"
Yu Bo pondered for a moment and sighed: "Sanhe Liu's objects are rare to find both at that time and in modern times, collectors who play miscellaneous items, especially those who like to play with grasshoppers, but they always dream of having a gourd of Sanhe Liu, especially this is a fire painted cloud dragon gourd, or a fine product of Sanhe Liu, Brother Chang, your luck is really good." ”
He also flicked the gourd twice while speaking, and his love was overflowing. Obviously, this one is talking about himself.
Chang Xian smiled, he didn't say anything, he knew that what he said at this time others would think he was hypocritical, and it was better to be silent than a hundred words.
"Boss Yu is right. Over the years, many people have spare money in their pockets, so they are looking for fun. In addition to raising flowers and grass, the call of the grasshopper can be heard in the middle of winter, which is also a pleasure, and now there are more people raising grasshoppers in winter than in summer. ”
Guo Baochang on the side continued Yu Bo's words and said: "Whoever can raise the grasshoppers in summer and autumn until the Spring Festival is a "big player", so the price of the gourd is also going up all the way, but like Sanhe Liu's boutique, it is priceless and not marketable." ”
He did not hide the envy on his face between his words, for collectors like them, the price of things is only one aspect, and more importantly, some items are too scarce, and many times they cannot be bought with money.
In fact, what Yu Guo and the others did not mention is that with the increase in the number of people playing with grasshoppers, the artificial breeding of grasshoppers has flourished to the point that it has become an industry, and many families in the Beijing-Tianjin area and surrounding areas have also become a scene of raising grasshoppers.
And there are years of fine gourd gourds are naturally rising, and after three or five years, just such a "Sanhe Liu" fire painted cloud dragon gourd, three or five hundred thousand can't be beaten.
……
"Hey, I said two bosses, I've been talking about this for a long time, how much is this thing worth?"
Zheng Da reporter pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, but he still didn't know the price of this gourd, so he couldn't help asking.
"Hey! What should I say about you! ”
Uncle De said angrily when he heard this: "You little girl cares about the price, you know, this thing hasn't appeared for many years, I only saw one ten years ago, you can't buy it if you have money." ”
This old man's hypocrisy is a bit hypocritical, but he really loves antiques.
Seeing that Zheng Mang still looked confused, Mu Duanming smiled and explained: "According to the current market situation, Sanhe Liu's gourd is about 100,000, but this thing has always been rare, and now there are more people playing with grasshoppers, and the price is still rising, and it will be difficult to say in a few years." ”
He said patiently: "The money is not much, we will not put this money in anyone's eyes, but the price on the market does not fully represent the value of antiques, if you really meet someone who likes this object, it is normal to buy it for hundreds of thousands, as the saying goes, it is difficult to buy a thousand I like, this is the truth." ”
Several bosses next to him also nodded thoughtfully, collecting antiques, some of them rushed to invest to make money, and some of them really loved antique objects.
There are even many bosses who originally collected for investment, but unexpectedly fell into it unknowingly and became real collectors.
For example, Liu Yi of Huhai is an entrepreneur who was born in a rental business.
He was on a business trip in the capital, and when he was bored, he saw Guardian's publicity, which was the first auction of Guardian's establishment.
Gotta recruit this master.
In the beginning, he was engaged in collecting to speculate and make money, just like speculating in stocks.
But gradually I became addicted, and dared to spend 1 billion a year on collections, only buying and not selling, saying that I wanted to be a collector, not an antique dealer.
So maybe you don't think so?
Well, the one who spent 280 million to buy the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup is this one.
Well, during the handover process of this old man, he actually made tea directly with a chicken bowl cup, which is absolutely ruthless!
In other words, use the official kiln to replace the emperor, and watch the spring palace to replace Tang Bohu, this is also a collection of music, isn't it?
……
Yu Bo's hand kept rubbing on the gourd, and he said to Chang Xian: "Brother Chang, you also know what this gourd said, I won't tell you, brother, I also have a fancy for it, can you cut love?" ”
"Originally, I was a rare gourd, and I wanted to keep it for myself......
Chang Xian groaned a little embarrassed, and said: "But today you are here to cheer me up, I can't thank you, you see if this will work, Uncle De also saw it just now, you can discuss it with Uncle De." ”
As Chang Xian said, these three people today are all to cheer him on, he can't be unreasonable, since he is willing to make a move, the previous Uncle De can't be put aside.
And this occasion is not fun, what is the highest price, they are all experts, after determining a master, probably give a price.
"Hey, Boss Yu, I also like this thing, you won't rob it with my old man, you know, I'm playing miscellaneous, I've been looking for this object for a long time."
As soon as he heard that Chang Xian intended to sell this gourd, Uncle De's face was a little unsightly, but when he heard Chang Xian's words, he didn't leave him, and the old man's face turned open, and he couldn't sit still.
"Hehe, old man, you let me this time, you can't put down the good things in your old house, what are you robbing with us juniors, Xiao Chang, I will pay 120,000 for this gourd." Although Yu Bo was quite respectful to the old man verbally, he didn't let it go at all, and even shouted out the price.
"I'll give 130,000!"
Boss Guo, who hadn't spoken much on the side, actually shouted the price, it's not that they are tearing each other down, it's just that Sanhe Liu's gourd is indeed rare, and he is also happy to see the hunt.
And this piece is both from the quality, pulp, hollow core, sound reeds, all belong to Sanhe Liu's masterpieces, if you don't buy it, after this village, you may not meet this store in this life.
As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and people who play collects will not let go easily when they encounter their favorite objects, and some collectors can even grind sellers for several years in order to get what they like.
