The clerk answered the chord, picked up the plate, and handed it to another clerk.

Two pieces of porcelain had already been bought, which was almost enough, so Zheng Wanjiu looked at the painting again.

It was still Li Ding'an who gave the code, Zheng Wanjiu put on a mallet, watched it for a while, and finally picked a landscape sketch by Lu Yanshao during the Republic of China.

About two feet, it will be able to make a fan, cut for half a day, but the price is not low: 120,000.

If it is genuine, the price is about 100,000 yuan. However, Zheng Wanjiu looked at it for a long time, but still didn't see it: no matter how you look at it, it looks like it's true.

Of course, if Li Dingan said that there is a problem, then there must be a problem. Zheng Wanjiu was not ambiguous, and asked the clerk to introduce it, which was also to pay first, and then pack it together after it was finished.

Then, the two looked at miscellaneous items again, and finally picked two pieces. One is a snuff box painted inside, and there is also a birdcage with diesel wood imitation Huanghuali, which the clerk said was used by the prince of the Qing Dynasty.

In the end, it was still the money paid according to the real thing, 160,000 for snuff bottles and 200,000 for birdcages.

By this time, the manager couldn't sit still, because he roughly calculated that the two guests had already spent more than half a million yuan.

The key is to be generous, and it happens to belong to the patrons who "understand a little, but don't know much". In other words: it's better to fool!

So, how can you still watch it, of course, you should seize the opportunity to slaughter two more knives.

With a similar thought in mind, he stood up, brushed his suit first, then changed into a warm smile, and walked slowly.

"I am fortunate to be the manager of this store and a shareholder of Abensai, so I would like to ask, are you collectors?"

"What if it weren't?"

Zheng Wanjiu sighed, "You won't come here to engage in wholesale?" ”

The tone was a little rushed, but the manager didn't care at all: Breaking out of Hudu's dick morality, but on the other hand, as long as you spend money, it's okay to scold your mother.

"Yes!"

He nodded, "But to be honest, most of the things on the first floor are relatively ordinary, and all the boutiques are on the second floor, why don't you two go up and have a look?" As long as there is something to look at, the absolute lowest price! ”

After a pause, he smiled reservedly: "Of course, there are also expert appraisal certificates, and there is no need to doubt the authenticity." Besides, both of you are connoisseurs, so I can't be blinded even if I want to, right? ”

What do you think we're here for: we're here to get an eye!

Zheng Wanjiu was secretly amused, pretending to groan, and nodded again: "Okay, then go to the second floor and have a look...... But first, if you don't have any good things, don't blame me for returning all of them......"

"Rest assured, boss!" The manager patted his chest, "If you don't look at it, you smashed the store for me!" ”

Zheng Wanjiu nodded: "Just have this sentence!" ”

The manager was in front, Zheng Wanjiu and Li Dingan were behind, and they went down the stairs to the second floor.

As soon as he stood still, Li Dingan subconsciously squinted his eyes: It's quite professional?

The first floor is an ordinary white brick, white wall, and there are lights, but they are rarely turned on. And the doors and windows are open, with the help of natural light. But on the second floor, the curtains are closed, and there are a lot of lights, and there are nearly 100 downlights, but they are not incandescent lamps, but tungsten lamps with a slightly light yellow color.

The decoration is also very distinctive: wood grain paper floor tiles, bronze wallpaper, maroon cabinets...... At first glance, it is indeed antique. But in fact, this is a deliberate 'old feeling'.

Including the reflected light, it also gives people a "classical" and "elegant" feeling. In this special optical ring mirror, not to mention antiques, even if you take a diamond, it is still dark.

At a glance, things are slightly less placed, and they are relatively simple: in addition to porcelain and calligraphy and paintings, there are only coins and ancient jade.

In other words: these four things are the easiest to imitate, and the technology of doing old is also the most mature, and of course, it is the easiest to eye.

"Two bosses, please!"

Li Dingan and Zheng Wanjiu glanced at each other and walked in.

"Look at this picture, the "Lady Picture" of Leng Mei, a famous court master from Kangxi to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty...... Is it that the pen and ink are unusually clean, but the colors are extremely gorgeous? There is a freehand in the brushwork, but it is very varied? Look here again......"

The manager pointed with his hand, "I specially asked Director Chen Feng Chen of the Forbidden City to do the appraisal, if you don't know, you can check it: Mr. Chen also served in the Liao Provincial Museum before, served as the leader of the calligraphy and painting team, professional appraisal for 20 years, never missed, real scholar-level expert ......"

The two looked down: a painting scroll of nearly one meter was hung alone in a display case. Through the glass, I do feel that the colors are beautiful, the lines are bright, the brushwork is simple, but the figures are not thin.

Li Ding'an looked at the inscription and seal again.

Except for a five-character poem by the author, there is no extra text on it. The bottom is covered with the inscription of Leng Mei and the Ruyi Pavilion of the Qing Dynasty Court Painting Academy, in addition to two other seals: "Yang Xin Palace" and "Only the Only Essence".

If you have studied Qianlong, you will know that these two seals are two of his nearly 600 square calligraphy and painting appreciation treasure seals, so if this painting is genuine, it is a proper Qing Dynasty imperial court treasure, and it is a work of Leng Mei's mature creation in his later years.

If it is estimated, it is probably between 500,000 and 700,000.

Li Dingan didn't squeak, Zheng Wanjiu knew that this painting was a fake, and asked casually: "How much?" ”

"The two of you are also refreshing, I will make a discount: one million!" The manager emphasized, "The lowest!" ”

One million is definitely high, but it is not too exaggerated, because most of the calligraphy and painting works will be auctioned, and the transaction price will rise a little.

Of course, the premise has to be the real thing.

But this one...... If you have to make a comparison, the degree of simulation is not lower than the "Searching for the Strange Peaks" by Hu Ruosi imitating Shi Tao that I saw yesterday. Otherwise, Zheng Wanjiu wouldn't have looked at the painting for a while, just looked at Li Dingan, then looked at the painting, and then looked at Li Dingan.

"Go lower, 800,000!"

"I can't really sell it...... In this way, boss, you add some more, nine hundred and fifty thousand ......"

Zheng Wanjiu was still too expensive, and finally cut it to 880,000......

After paying the bill, he waved his hand again: "Let's look at the others!" ”

"Okay...... Then take a look at this one, the Ming Dynasty chanterelle yellow jar, absolutely the official kiln thing! ”

Zheng Wanjiu leaned back: What kind of thing, chanterelle yellow?

The so-called chanterelle is actually a kind of bright yellow glaze, which can only be used by the emperor, queen and queen mother. Moreover, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, only the Ming and yellow porcelain of the Hongzhi Dynasty can be called "chanterelle yellow", and other periods are collectively called "golden glaze" or "delicate yellow glaze".

In short, very rare, and of course expensive. It is by no means inferior to the blue and white of the Ming royal family printed with dragon patterns. Even if it's just a bowl or a bowl, it can fetch tens of millions of dollars, let alone a can?

If it's the real thing, it's at least hundreds of millions......

Darkly surprised, Zheng Wanjiu's eyes narrowed. After a few glances, he breathed a sigh of relief: what a big can, this is a wreckage!

No, it's not even a remnant, it's a base.

The diameter is about 50 centimeters, the bottom is about 3 centimeters thick, and there is a thumb-sized hole in the center, so it is the base of a flower pot. There is no glaze at the bottom, but the inside is fully glazed, including the outer ring with a residual edge of about one to four or five centimeters, and the color inside and outside is bright and bright, really like freshly peeled chicken fat, delicate and oily.

The color is very bright, but not dazzling, standard chanterelle yellow. If you look in circles, you can see the spiral patterns on the glaze, as well as the cow hair lines as thin as hair.

This is actually one of the characteristics of the old pulp, and it is the same reason that the car paint will form a sunburst pattern: the car is caused by car washing, and the porcelain is formed by rubbing against various objects when it is often wiped, played, moved, and shipped.

But if it is just out of the pit, just out of the sea, or if it has been left unmoving, it will not be so obvious, and there will not be this kind of texture. Just like in the Forbidden City, Li Ding'an has seen several pieces of devices from the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods: brand new, bright and eye-catching, just like they have just been fired out of the kiln.

In short, just looking at the glaze, there really is nothing wrong with it.

Look at the tire again, that is, the place where the stubble is broken: the standard fetal quality of the Macang soil before Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. It is noticeably grainy to the touch, but not rough.

Look at the style again: the Ming Hongzhi year, the standard Song style regular script, and the three points below the word "governance" are significantly lower than the horizontal ...... below the "Taiwan" This is also one of the most common methods used by experts and experts to identify the style of Hongji porcelain.

When I knock it again, the sound is a little muffled, as if it was knocked on the wood, which is also one of the characteristics of the low-temperature porcelain colored with gasified iron...... Anyway, looking at it, Zheng Wanjiu didn't think there was anything wrong.

Feeling unsafe, he thought about it and put the base under his nose again. Li Ding'an thought he wanted to smell it, so he didn't care. But who would have thought that Zheng Fat would lick his tongue?

I'm going to ...... Mr. Zheng, are you really a vegetarian?

Looking at the manager again, his face did not change...... Understood, he didn't know where this thing came from!

Sighing, seeing Zheng Wanjiu looking at him, Li Dingan nodded: Fake, buy it!

Zheng Wanjiu understood in nine seconds and put down the base: "A rotten flower pot bottom, dare you say it's a good thing?" Tell me, how much money? ”

"Good eyesight, how can ordinary people recognize this as a flower pot, otherwise they wouldn't dare to praise you as an expert." The compliment didn't seem to be money, and the manager raised his hand and gestured: "Give you the lowest price, one million." ”

Oh, it's really not expensive.

For example, in 2011, in the "Youzhen Spring Auction" held by Zhonghan Auction, there was a porcelain piece with an original diameter of 40 centimeters of Xuande Yunlong pattern plate, which was only less than 20 centimeters in diameter at that time, and a third was missing, and it was broken in half, and it was auctioned for 400,000 yuan at that time.

Seven years later, five years ago, the piece was auctioned again, and the price doubled and a half: one and a half thousand.

Compared to that one, this one is much larger, and there must be millions, but again, the premise is true.

So, it's so dark!

scolded secretly, Zheng Wanjiu was not verbose: "800,000, just buy it!" ”

"Hmm...... Okay then...... Then I'll have someone send it down first, and I'll wrap it up for you when I'm done......"

The manager was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly hooked his waist, "Then how many more pieces?" ”

Zheng Wanjiu nodded: "Look! ”

"This way, please!"

Taking advantage of his efforts to lead the way, Zheng Wanjiu turned around and blinked again, meaning: Where is the problem?

Li Dingan didn't say anything, but just lip synched: Dip!

What the hell am I ...... What else can you take, of course!

Zheng Wanjiu was so disgusted that he almost vomited: Why didn't you stop me just now?

Li Dingan tugged at the corners of his mouth: I want to stop it, but I can also come in time?

It is not surprising that many porcelain experts use this method to determine the authenticity of the fake.

Because most of the old methods are to peel off the glaze by pickling or alkali washing, as well as to remove the fire, and then use grease or special potion to pulp, so as long as it is not let go for ten or eight years, it is definitely still delicious, and it is accurate to taste.

But he really didn't taste anything. But Li Dingan said that he was-soaked, so he must be-soaked...... It's about the same as taking the initiative to eat a mouthful of?

Okay, wait for me...... Don't let An Benzhai spread all over the country, Lao Tzu has your surname......

Secretly ruthless, but when the manager turned around, Zheng Wanjiu regained the unique dick temperament of an outburst: "Don't keep looking at porcelain, look at the others!" ”

"No problem!"

The manager took a few steps forward, "Boss, take a look, the chisel lotus and mandarin duck pattern lying on the foot bowl of the Southern and Northern Dynasties will give you the lowest price, 800,000!" ”

"So expensive!"

"That's the lowest...... If you look it up, Su Fubi auctioned one in New York four years ago, and the price was 100,000 US dollars......"

"Then you ask me for 800,000?"

"Boss, that was four years ago!"

"I don't care, it's just 500,000...... Wait, there's an appraisal report, right? ”

"There must be, the ...... personally identified by Mr. Jin Yi of the Shenyang Forbidden City"

Hah, or an old acquaintance?

Facing a look with Li Ding'an, Zheng Wanjiu was extremely arrogant: "500,000, sell it, sell it, and if you don't sell it, look at the next one!" ”

"Shhh...... The boss is really embarrassing...... Oh well......"

"Boss, look at this one again, the Tang Dynasty jade carved camel...... A million minimum! ”

"It's too expensive!"

"It's really not expensive, Christie's only shot one last year, 1.2 million ......"

"There were so many jade camels in the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's it, it's just a camel, not a dragon, and it can only be worn by the emperor? Besides, there is an appraisal report......"

"Six hundred thousand!"

"Mr. Zheng will really bargain...... Okay, 600,000 ......."

"Look at this again, the fourteenth-century Mara Dynasty bronze gilt Manjushri statue of two million ...... The most expensive hundreds of millions of dollars have ......"

"There's no way to bargain for this, it's really so low......"

"Alas, well, one million and six hundred thousand, also for you...... Rest assured, there is an appraisal certificate ......"

Every time he buys a piece, Zheng Wanjiu will ask if there is an appraisal certificate, and there is no case, there is everything. He also seems to know a little bit about the skin, but his self-confidence is bursting, but he has to bargain for everything, but he is a very happy outburst.

After doing the math, as of the bronze gilt Buddha statue, this Mr. Zheng has bought a total of ten pieces, with a total price of more than 5 million.

It's enough, I haven't been able to meet such a guest for three years, but I have met it, and I haven't eaten for more than three years.

Turning his mind, the manager politely took the two of them to the first floor, and then packed them in front of them, packed them, and then issued invoices.

You have to ask what is written in the name of the item being sold, of course it is a gift, even if the seller writes you an antique, the court will not recognize it.

Of course, Li Dingan is not ready to go to court, but this link must be there.

After packing the things, sending a car, and even sending the two out of the door, the manager seemed to remember: "I take the liberty of asking, the two of you sell so many antiques at once, is it really a personal collection?" ”

You've just woken up, haven't you?

Zheng Wanjiu's attitude is still arrogant: "Do you still have a household registration check when you sell things?" ”

"No, just ask, boss, don't be angry!"

"Deduction, tax deduction, can't it!" Zheng Wanjiu replied angrily.

The manager nodded secretly: No wonder you have to appraise the certificate for everything, and only pick tens of thousands to less than one million things?

But this one is quite kind, at least willing to pay back. It's not that the store hasn't been to this kind of project or real estate outbreak, and when you enter the door, you open your mouth and ask which is the cheapest and can issue more invoices, and give the appraisal certificate.

In other words, pick out fakes and go back to tax credits...... Of course, the quality of these just picked is not much better......

The manager sneered secretly and hooked his waist again: "Of course...... Slow walking! ”

There are times when you can't laugh......

Zheng Wanjiu snorted coldly and went to the back seat with Li Ding'an.

After glancing at the driver, Zheng Wanjiu glanced again: "I'll go to the Forbidden City later?" ”

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "It's still early, go elsewhere first, and then go to the Forbidden City in the afternoon...... Do you know all the places? ”

"Yes!"

I have specially done a strategy, what is the "Shengjing Collection", "Goryeo Treasure Hunt", "Changbai Mountain Culture and Art"...... Anyone who fanned the flames and brought rhythm, and even foul language and personal attacks, Zheng Wanjiu wrote them all down in a small notebook, and he checked them all clearly.

"I just don't know if the time will be in time, why don't I go to the Forbidden City tomorrow?"

"It should be okay to hurry up...... The Forbidden City is estimated to take less than an hour! ””

"So fast?"

"What if it weren't?"

The Forbidden City is not an antique shop, you can only see ...... No, it should only be secretly photographed, and it can't be sold, of course faster.

After sending the things back to the hotel, the two went to several other stores first, back and forth, a full four trips.

It's all packed in boxes, but it's still stacked in one room. There was no way, Li Dingan had to open another room.

By the time I arrived at the Forbidden City, it was half past four.

But fortunately, the museum closed at six o'clock.

Indeed, as Li Ding'an said, it will be extremely fast to watch, and it will take an hour before and after.

After coming out, Li Dingan stood in front of the vermilion palace gate, was silent for a long time, and let out a long breath: "Lao Zheng, it's too late to regret!" ”

"Regret, impossible!"

Zheng Wanjiu rubbed his hands, as if all the pores all over his body were laughing, "Teacher Li, don't worry, I'm not like you, do I have to mix in the world of literature and museums?" ”

The truth is indeed the truth, but after this time, Zheng Wanjiu will not want to participate in any activities at the official level in the future.

Of course, there are gains and losses, and if you really want to set up the flag of "the first person to fight antiques and counterfeits", the benefits are obvious.

is like a certain Jifei of ruthless technology, just like a certain Nan who specializes in exploding dzi beads, they all fight counterfeits first, and then bring goods, and still make a lot of money......
