To be honest, Shen Yu feels very bored now.
Because Mr. Dong had given him an authentic piece of Wen Zhengming's "Quick Snow and Clear Tie" worth tens of millions, even if there were leaks or big leaks at the auction, Shen Yu would not be able to pick them up.
This is not a moral issue, but a conscience issue!
Being a human being requires a conscience!
In addition, competing with Zhang Qiyun’s eyesight is really boring.
With the special ability of appraising treasures, Shen Yu feels that even if he can't win, he will definitely not lose. It can be said that he is completely invincible.
And according to Shen Yu's idea, now is actually not the time to reveal his true strength.
The faster and more easily you win now, the more wary the opponent will be. The antiques that will be brought out will often be weird ones, and the difficulty of identification will be higher.
To put it bluntly, Shen Yu doesn’t want to be in the limelight. The more limelight he gets, the more difficult it will be for him to find out in the future.
Of course, Shen Yu also understood the thoughts of big guys like Mr. Wu and Lin Qingzhi. Although they wanted to find some opportunities in advance, they were also afraid that they would be unlucky and lose at the treasure appraisal exchange meeting.
Once you lose, if you beat Zhang Qiyun a few times in front of so many people, at least it will be justified in terms of face.
The best-of-three games at the Treasure Appraisal Exchange Meeting, the winner-takes-all rule is full of uncertainty.
Especially in the first scene of "finding the truth among the fakes", the uncertainty of randomly selecting an antique store is really too great.
After picking out real antiques, Shen became more confident that there would be no problem.
But the problem is that if you randomly select a famous antique store like Bao Yuxuan, there are countless antiques in the lobby. Even if there is a gold eye for appraising treasures, it will still require a lot of luck.
Since knowing the rules of the competition, Shen Yu has been secretly asking himself, assuming that he likes a piece of blue and white from the Qianlong official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, would you choose it?
It stands to reason that you should choose it. The Qianlong blue and white is already considered an extremely precious antique. But if you choose it, there will probably be an authentic one from the four Ming Dynasty families hanging on the wall, or even one from the Southern Song Dynasty.
It’s not impossible for a certain boss to come up with a Tang Dynasty painting on a whim, but then he would be really dumbfounded!
But if you don’t choose, and once the other party chooses, it will really be this one, and you will be dumbfounded.
Shen Yu didn't know why Mr. Wu and the others agreed to such harsh conditions from the big guys in the Binhai Collection Association. They were simply making it more difficult for themselves.
If the rules from the last time were still followed, that is, both sides would produce antiques for on-site treasure appraisal, Shen Yu asked himself that even if he was not 100% sure of winning, the probability would still be 99%.
……
"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet. The fourth lot is a jade treasure from my collection, a Ming Dynasty mutton-fat white jade statue of Magu celebrating her birthday!" Dong Baiming's voice rang out in the hall again.
This time Dong Baiming changed into a clean Tang suit, and his energy level was obviously much better than before. He took the thermos cup handed by the employee next to him and slowly took a sip of hot tea, then quickly picked up the phone, "
Let me start by saying, this jade sculpture, like the previous large blue and white jar, is also the proud work of the old man during his career as a collector of leaks, but whether it is an old jade artifact from the Ming Dynasty is still debatable.
"But one thing is that this jade sculpture is at least from the Qing Dynasty. If you buy it back and have it appraised and find out that this jade sculpture is not from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty but is from the modern era, then the rule of paying ten for a false one will still count.
"To make a long story short, more than twenty years ago, more specifically twenty-five years ago, I went to Binhai City in a neighboring province to discuss a business with an old friend. The matter was urgent and the amount of money was large. I originally wanted to go back the same day, but I bought a ticket and wanted to go back.
Hurry.
"As I approached the station, I felt that if I didn't visit Binhai Antique Market once, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
"So I refunded the ticket and immediately rushed to Binhai Antique Market.
"I didn't know I was going to the right place this time. I arrived at nine o'clock in the evening, just in time for the opening of the Binhai Antique Market's night market. The scene was absolutely packed with people.
"It was not as good as it is now. Twenty-five years ago, in the late 1980s, the major antique markets at that time still had a lot of good stuff. I only visited three stalls and picked up a pair of """ by the great Qing Dynasty painter Gong Xian.
Authentic "Spring Mountain Evening Crossing".
"When I walked to the fourth stall, my eyes lit up again. It was a stall full of jade articles. I still remember it very clearly. There were many old objects from the Qing Dynasty on it, including the old jadeite bracelets from the Qing Dynasty.
Twenty.
"At this point, you may think that I would say that this jade sculpture was bought at that stall?"
Dong Baiming paused and then chuckled, "No, at that time I was selecting a few pieces of Zigang brand made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, when I met a young man selling jade at the stall.
"That jade was the jade carving dedicated to Magu's birthday. It was just that the stall owner didn't know the goods and thought he was using fake materials to deceive him. In the end, I spent 8,000 yuan to pick up this big leak.
"Time is tight, the old man won't talk nonsense anymore, now I invite all distinguished guests to watch the big screen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white jade statue of Magu offering longevity and mutton fat appeared on the big screen.
The moment the statue appeared, there was an exclamation of exclamation from the audience.
Without it, the carving is so exquisite!
Magu's facial expressions are clear and lifelike, and there is no fault at all.
Magu is dressed in a fairy palace attire, holding a flower basket in one hand and a song of longevity peach flowers. She looks forward and gently nods with a smile, as if she is whispering something to the person in front of her.
This statue is 28 centimeters high, which is considered a large statue.
Magu is the goddess of longevity. If you use this jade carving as a birthday gift when celebrating your birthday, it will really be the best birthday gift.
There is also a square of sapphire as the base under the statue, with nine auspicious clouds engraved on it, which means: the clouds are rising straight up, which is also extremely auspicious, which is equivalent to wishing the birthday star and his descendants a prosperous official career.
Just think about it, who can be unhappy about this?
At the same time, the name of the jade carver is engraved on the sapphire base: "Lu Zigang, Zhuo."
Lu Zigang is the famous Lu Zigang. Many appraisers have different opinions on these two names. After final research, whether it is Lu Zigang or Lu Zigang, both of them have extremely exquisite jade carvings. These two names are simply Lu Zigang.
.
The current price of mutton-fat white jade ranges from 20,000 to 80,000, depending on the purity of the jade.
Yes, the unit is grams.
Take the low number, one gram = thirty thousand.
The total weight of this Magu birthday jade sculpture is three kilograms. Excluding the sapphire base, the mutton-fat white jade part is no more than one kilogram, which is 1000 grams. The price of the jade carving itself is a full 30 million.
p>
Coupled with the value of the antique itself, the overall value of this jade sculpture is probably 40 to 50 million. Even the pickiest buyer has to admit that this is a valuable jade treasure.
