Chapter 46 The old mage who looked away
On Friday, around ten o’clock in the morning, a Buick was running towards Yongjiang City. Luo Yang was the one driving, and Li Xiaoshuai and his cousin Xia He were in the back row.
Tomorrow noon is the best time to meet Ai Hua, in Zhang Ruoxuan’s antique shop.
Li Xiaoshuai rushed over so early now, because of the influence of Wu Crippy, who introduced him to two Tibetan friends in Yongjiang Antique City. It is said that these two are masters and apprentices, and they are also very discerning people.
Especially the master Ma Tianyun, who is as famous as Zhang Ruoxuan, who is famous in Zhejiang Province and West Lake City. Both of them are known as the old masters of the antique industry in Zhejiang Province, which is unanimously recognized by the whole province.
Entering the city, Xia He got off the car first, because today is the weekend and her online store is the busiest. If she helps his boyfriend.
Yongjiang Antique Store is a five-story professional antique building. According to Luo Yang, there are estimated to be 300 antique stores in it. The most famous one is Zhao Zhiyun’s apprentice’s shop, which is known as a genuine and honest business in Yongjiang.
Although the prices of the items in the store are high, they are genuine; if they are old, they will never sell fakes.
In an antique shop on the first floor, Li Xiaoshuai bought a blue and white plate at a very cheap price that made Luo Yang feel weird.
The owner of the shop seemed to have picked up a bargain, and was extremely happy.
But Luo Yang, who knew the inside story, felt sad for the shop owner. Being sold and happy to help count money, the antique industry, the water is too deep.
This further stimulated his desire to learn, he didn’t want to be that poor person.
Walking to a secluded place, Luo Yang asked Li Xiaoshuai, what did you buy? This is obviously a fake that can’t be faked any more.
“It doesn’t look like the Rabbit Country style?”
“Um.”
“That’s right, this is Turkish blue and white porcelain, so you don’t know it. This stuff is very popular in the Middle East. I have sold a jade pot spring bottle for $1 million.”
“Oh,” Luo Yang felt the importance of learning more and more.
He estimated that this plate could be sold for at least tens of thousands of dollars, and he felt that the bright smile on the owner’s face just now was a mockery of himself, “Poor little shrimp, you only have the fate of being eaten by others. .”
Putting things into the backpack, the brothers stopped and walked to the “Jigu Pavilion” in the middle of the third floor. The location of this shop is quite good. The door is facing the escalator. The first thing I see when I come up is this shop.
There were still several people in the shop, all of whom seemed to be looking for Ma Tianyun for appraisal, and they all lined up outside the shop.
Li Xiaoshuai said that since there are many people in the store, let’s take a look nearby.
The brothers walked and watched, Li Xiaoshuai also explained to Luo Yang according to the real object, where it was right, where it was wrong, and the changes in the shape of the device, but it made Luo Yang, who was already full of basics, in the identification. Soared a lot.
In front of a “good old house” shop, Li Xiaoshuai saw a large incense burner at a glance. He stared at the incense burner for a long time, and secretly scanned it with his clairvoyant ability.
The shop owner saw it, but only glanced at it.
Entering the store, Li Xiaoshuai asked the middle-aged stall owner, “How did you sell this incense burner?”
Following his fingers, Luo Yang saw that it was a celestial glaze with double chi dragon ears. There have been imitations since the Ming Dynasty, which continued to the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and have been imitated to the present.
Because the incense burner had not been opened, Luo Yang knew that it was a later imitation, but he was at a loss as to whether it was an imitation of that dynasty.
The owner looked up and down Li Xiaoshuai said, this thing is not cheap.
“It’s okay, you can ask for a price, and I’ll buy it if you can afford it. If you can’t afford it, it’s good for us to be friends.”
The shop owner saw that Li Xiaoshuai’s words were very good, so he quoted: “250,000.”
Li Xiaoshuai said with a smile, I can afford 250,000 soft sister coins, but if it is 250,000 US dollars, I can’t afford it.
Luo Yang heard the quotation and knew that this incense burner was genuine, but according to the price analysis, it should be an imitation of the Republic of China. He also thought that Li Xiaoshuai could bring things from the Republic of China abroad.
After thinking about it, Li Xiaoshuai’s eyesight is extraordinary, why would he sell a Republic of China imitation at a normal price? Could this be a fake?
If it was imitated from the Qing Dynasty, it should be an official kiln. The price is far more than 250,000, and it is almost the same with a zero at the back. “I mean, this kid makes money hard. He made 300,000 yuan in the town without spending any money. He spent 300,000 yuan to buy this Qing Dynasty official kiln, which became 2.5 million yuan.”
The transaction was very successful, and the owner also gave the brocade box in which the incense burner was originally packaged.
When they returned to Zhao Zhiyun’s “Jigu Pavilion”, there was no one there. After the brothers went in, they reported the name of the lame Wu. Ma Tianyun warmly received the brothers.
The 60-year-old old mage had a very kind attitude, and even greeted his younger apprentice with tea and water. In Luo Yang’s view, this was definitely a kind old man.
After some talk, Ma Tianyun naturally saw the brocade box that Li Xiaoshuai put on the table, and asked, “What is this little brother?”
“I just bought an azure-glazed incense burner next door~www.readmtl.com~ I know, I’ve seen it before, it’s imitation from the Republic of China, isn’t it expensive?”
“250000.”
“Fair price!” Ma Tianyun no longer wanted to watch.
Afterwards, there was some support from the old man to the younger generation. Ma Tianyun took out several pieces of fine porcelain for Li Xiaoshuai and his brothers to watch, and also introduced their identification characteristics without hiding anything.
The rich experience and the popular spoken language benefit Luo Yang, and even Li Xiaoshuai cannot admit that this teacher is a bachelor.
When he was about to leave, Mr. Ma also taught earnestly that he had to come and see more and see the real product more in order to develop good eyesight.
At night, on the highway to Xihu City, the Buick was silent.
Luo Yang saw through the rearview mirror that Li Xiaoshuai was sitting in the back row playing with his mobile phone. Looking at his thirsty face and Elaine’s whining voice on the phone, he cursed inwardly, “Hmph, you’re throwing dog food again.”
He thought to himself, Li Xiaoshuai is still young, and it should be no problem to look at the fine folk kilns worth hundreds of thousands, but he looks at the official kilns worth millions or even millions, and it seems that there is still a lack of heat.
But even though the cousin still has flaws in the identification, he is still much higher than himself, and he still admires it very much.
It was late at night when the car arrived in Xihu City. Luoyang found a hotel near Antique Street. But what made Li Xiaoshuai strange was that Luo Yang opened two rooms, and they were far apart, one on the sixth floor and the other on the eleventh floor.
Saying that two big men live in one room will be misunderstood as gays.
After entering the room, Li Xiaoshuai remembered that he lived separately because his cousin wanted to flutter the colorful flags, but he disliked him for getting in the way.
This is someone’s private life. Of course, Li Xiaoshuai can’t mind his own business. He glanced at the corner of his mouth: “Poor otaku.”
