Chapter 309: Recreational Antiques Part 1

Chapter 309 Entertainment Antiques

Unless these vendors are mingling with porcelain, they accidentally get a jade jewelry, and at this time, they will not understand their own things well, and have high expectations, just like those collectors, like those who don’t understand their own things well! In this case, they may also find Jia Sidao to identify the true value of the things!

However, since everyone is in the antique industry, they should have some connections.

Let’s talk about Xiaoma. If you want to check whether your porcelain is right, you can find A San or even Master Wei Er. If you encounter jade jewelry that you can’t understand, you will naturally come to Jia Sidao, and you don’t need to come to the appraisal meeting at all.

In this way, these vendors come here to do an appraisal, which is not a good intention! Although there are experts here, in the eyes of the vendors, what's wrong with the experts? Experts also have a look at them. Otherwise, these experts would have been rich long ago. How could they use the appearance fee here? No matter how much you can earn when you buy real things on the antique street, you will earn much more than participating in the treasure appraisal conference.

Except for those in Linhai, those in other regions, when they saw their peers, they were a little "hiding" by Jia Sidao, so they naturally hid far away faster. Jia Sidao once saw that there was a middle-aged man who wanted to come to Jia Sidao to identify things. As a result, Jia Sidao soon looked at the vendor in the antique street that looked familiar, and pulled him! He whispered a few words in his ear. In a blink of an eye, the middle-aged man who originally wanted to come here seemed to have seen a poisonous snake and beast, showing a bit of timidity!

It turns out that at the beginning, Jia Sidao was regarded as the paper talkers who used their relationship to identify the famous people at the conference.

For this reason, Jia Sidao could only smile bitterly, not knowing what to say.

Among the only remaining second-class personnel, most collectors may not know about the experts who truly understand the market and work on the front line of the market. However, in the jewelry and jade industry, who is more famous and has better reputation, but still knows a little bit. How could they not have some eyesight and see who is more professional?

Let’s not talk about others, just say that he is Uncle Zhou Fugui, who has been on the Antique Street for more than ten years. As for the jewelry and jade industry, especially the nephrite jewelry, it is indeed one of the two largest stores in Linhai area. At this moment, it is understandable that there are more people looking for him!

Lao Wang and others came from the provincial capital, but this group of collectors flocked to them! On the contrary, they were young and novices like Jia Sidao who struggled to gambling stones. They were temporarily unfamiliar and would not be looked down upon!

Thinking of this, the expression on Jia Sidao's face became even more depressed!

Of course, since Jia Sidao has already sat in the expert seat, the number of collectors maintained in the whole room is more than the number of experts. It is impossible for Jia Sidao to have no one to come to identify. Now, Jia Sidao has probably waited until others have identified one or two accessories, and finally welcomed the first collector to ask for advice from him!

At this time, Jia Sidao actually thanked the organizer for his careful consideration.

Jia Sidao noticed that the old man in front of him was originally waiting for the old experts to identify him. However, perhaps because there were two collectors in front of him, the old experts were also slow to check things. Jia Sidao was just empty, so he wanted to make things convenient and let Jia Sidao help him take a look.

So, Jia Sidao took up an old man's jade bracelet in a serious way and looked at it carefully!

The color is pretty good. The green is not very thick and emerald, and it also contains a lot of impurities. It looks a bit turbid, so it is not very good in terms of transparency. In terms of texture, it should be between ice and bean types. Jia Sidao touched it with his hands while thinking in his mind that such a jade bracelet should be considered a bit old. No way, even it is a little older than the old man in front of him.

Sure enough, before Jia Sidao could speak, the old man spoke: "This little comrade, this bracelet was brought from her parents' home when I got married to my wife. But it has been a few years. I have shown it to several experts before, and they all said that this jade bracelet is very good and has great collection value. I came here this time just to ask how much money this bracelet can be worth."

As he said that, he also looked at Jia Sidao with great anticipation, waiting for Jia Sidao's answer!

It is naturally impossible for Jia Sidao to directly tell the market value. As the saying goes, all of them are identified here, so you must be the most important thing about the appraisal expert. It is impossible, every time you get a piece of jade jewelry, you can directly sense it with your superpowers, and then directly tell the characteristics of jade jewelry, and then the price is it?

This time, the organizer, considering that the TV station participated, requires experts to give some comments when appraisal.

Otherwise, it would be like Jia Sidao heard Uncle Zhou Fugui mention in private that in many cases, the process of the experts' identification will not be very careful. Once you see something that experts are not sure about, most of them will say it is not good, or it is said that it is of little value. At that time, if there is really something wrong, there is still room for rescue. For example, if you haven't looked carefully at it carefully, you'll have a look or something.

But if you say it better, the collectors will naturally be happy. However, experts are not sure about the authenticity of the thing, so there are naturally many doubts. If you find that this thing is fake in the future, then you, an expert who says it is a real thing, will be held revenge.

On the contrary, if you say that something is wrong at the beginning, but then you find that something is right later, then most collectors, even ordinary people, will not care about anything with the expert who says something is fake.

In addition, when determining that things are real, most of the prices given by experts will be inflated. It’s just to ask for something! Sometimes, in order to hype their fame, experts can even make a quote for things that they can’t even get by with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands!

Jia Sidao has seen such things many times on TV and newspapers.

At this moment, Jia Sidao listened to the old man's narration of this jade bracelet, while using a magnifying glass, a strong flashlight and other regular tools, carefully checked the jade bracelet. There was no error with his initial judgment. When the estimation began, Jia Sidao hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to give it according to the normal market price.

However, when the old man in front of him heard Jia Sidao say that the thing was real, the smile on his face was still very obvious. However, after hearing the price Jia Sidao said, his expression was a little shocked.

Jia Sidao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Old man, this price is just my preliminary estimate. If you get it in the market, there should be room for appreciation..."

"That's it." The old man's face returned to normal, and he said, "Then thank you comrade first... But, I'll look at it, I'd better ask the old experts to take a closer look. This is a jade bracelet that has been decades old. How could it be that little money?..." The meaning of the words was a little bit more.

"This jade is not like other antiques. The older the age, the better. Look, the carving work on this jade bracelet is a bit worse than the modern carving technology. Moreover, on the water head, this jade bracelet still has many defects..." Jia Sidao said, and when he saw the old man's doubtful eyes, he couldn't help but go to another place, trying to divert the old man's attention, and said, "However, if there is still some historical value on this jade bracelet, the price of this bracelet will be very different."

You know, what Jia Sidao said is the truth. Just say it is Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty. Although she is so good, let’s not talk about her. However, the things she used are all treasures. Unfortunately, the age of the jade bracelet in front of her is long. However, there is no special historical story, nor is it related to any major figure in history.

However, it was obvious that the old man in front of him misunderstood Jia Sidao's meaning and said, "This little comrade, my jade bracelet was brought by my wife when she was dowrying. This has a high historical commemorative value. Is it a lot more expensive?"

As a result, Jia Sidao became speechless again. Fortunately, after explaining it specifically to the old man, the old man left with some pleasure. Perhaps, until he left, he still didn't quite understand why the same jade bracelet would have different prices in the eyes of different experts?

Perhaps after seeing someone leave after being identified from Jia Sidao, Jia Sidao began to get busy in the following time. Moreover, after the initial disorder, any collector who entered the house had a more detailed classification of the things they had.

Because the number of collectors waiting outside was beyond the organizer's expectations. If it were at the previous speed, not to mention this morning, even if the afternoon and evening time were added, it would probably not be able to meet the requirements of all collectors! Therefore, Uncle Zhou Fugui started, everyone discussed it for a while, and then began to reassign work.

For example, if the collectors holding jadeite collections, the staff at the door of the house will instruct them to wait in line at Zhou Fugui, and the collectors holding jadeite jewelry will guide them to Ji Yanran or Jia Sidao for identification depending on the situation.

As a result, almost everyone of the dozen experts was overwhelmed.

In response to this, Zhou Fugui's face showed a smile, which made Jia Sidao involuntarily think about it. The reason why he made such a suggestion was that Uncle Zhou Fugui was particularly leisurely in the first period, while the rest of them were busy, and he deliberately took measures against Jia Sidao?

Of course, when I suddenly saw the collectors waiting for the identification, they lined up. Jia Sidao was still a little excited. He was in a hurry and started to speed up some of the speed. Because of the help of supernatural perception, Jia Sidao was not afraid of making mistakes in the chaos. His comments on the jade jewelry he was identified became more and more natural. Many times, he was very wise! You said that it was citing scriptures, but it was enough to make collectors who came to do the identification without any chance to pick the bones in the eggs.

However, Jia Sidao also discovered that not only other categories in the antiques business, such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, but also behind each collection, there will be an intriguing story. In the jade business, most collectors, who come to do the appraisal, will tell a short story about their collection. Whether it is real or fake, everyone still talks in a very good manner, and when they listen, they can't get any temper.

Many times, Jia Sidao felt that he was not like an idle man doing antique appraisal work here, but rather like a casual man in a tea room, while tasting tea while listening to stories.

After about an hour, the door of the house would be closed again for about ten minutes. This is a time for the experts to rest. Jia Sidao was very happy. The organizer seemed to be quite human. Jia Sidao went to the toilet. After he came back, he exchanged greetings with Uncle Zhou and Lao Wang and others to exchange interesting things that happened during the appraisal just now.

When I met Ji Yanran, Jia Sidao didn't say anything special, but just asked: "Ms. Ji, when I went out just now, I also saw a lot of TV station staff, cameras, etc., and I was very busy. But why didn't I see them coming in to our room to shoot?"

If jade or something is still unpopular in antiques, then those like nephrite, or even strange stones, are definitely popular. These things are indispensable at every appraisal conference.

Moreover, in this room, there are miscellaneous team appraisal experts.

Why didn’t I see anyone from the TV station? What kind of activities did I bring people here to shoot?

"Now?" Ji Yanran shook her hand. Perhaps the busy appraisal work just now made her hands feel a little sad. "It's still early. It's only an hour passed... Although we've already started to get to the point when we were appraisal. However, in the square outside, the number of collectors waiting for her is gradually increasing. So,..."

"So, it's wrong for me to be so anxious, right?" Jia Sidao replied with a smile.

"Puchi!" With a sound, the other party couldn't help but give Jia Sidao a smart look.

"However, Xiao Jia, the program recorded by the TV station this time is a bit unique. I have never tried it before." Ji Yanran pursed her lips and said, "In the past, before recording, both the antiques to be identified and the experts who came to be identified were notified in advance. This time, it was a bit different."

"No? Will they still take pictures of me when I was appraised?" Jia Sidao frowned, and there was a little excitement in his heart. Originally, Jia Sidao thought that when the shooting was taken, he would give all the experts a picture, and then ask him to appraise a certain expert arranged in it.

Most of the scenes of the appraisal conference were filmed like this. Sometimes, the words were stipulated. Jia Sidao had nothing to say about such an arrangement. But if there were some novelties this time, Jia Sidao felt a little curious!

Just as he was thinking, Ji Yanran said to Jia Sidao playfully: "This is probably true."

Then, seeing Jia Sidao's stunned expression, Ji Yanran explained: "You just saw a lot of people holding interview microphones in the square outside, right?" Jia Sidao naturally nodded, and Ji Yanran continued, "They are not professional hosts, but celebrities who have some interests in collecting!"

"Celebrity?" Jia Sidao couldn't help blurting out.

"Yes." Ji Yanran looked at Jia Sidao's expression and said disapprovingly, "They are all famous people from all walks of life. Just like us experts like the antique industry. For example, the general manager of Geely Auto, or the special teachers in Taizhou Middle School, etc., they are quite famous in their respective fields. Of course, there are also several famous hosts on TV stations! They were originally hosting entertainment programs, but today they are here to make guest appearances and hosts of antique appraisal conferences!"

"No wonder. So that's the case." Jia Sidao nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "At the beginning, I thought they were all stars. There are really no big stars in Linhai!"

"Xiao Jia, this is not necessarily true." Perhaps it was Jia Sidao's voice that was a little louder. Zhou Fugui, who was next to him, said in an insult, "Whether he is a big star depends on which aspect it is."
