Chapter 351
True and False
If this is the case, it is impossible to say that A San and Jia Sidao have to plan for the possible situation in the future. It is like what to do if you meet a familiar colleague later; what to do if the things there are open to the market and the two sides fight to compete for it;
This can not only solve the problem after coordination in advance.
"No!" Xiaoma shook his head and said with certainty, "When I first got the news, Zhang San told me that he was the first to tell me. However, his original intention was to borrow money from me. I think he might have seen things over there, thinking that the things are pretty good and want to take them away by himself."
"That's good." Xiaoma's words undoubtedly made A San and Jia Sidao breathe a sigh of relief.
"When I got the news, my first thought was actually the same as Zhang San's idea. I wanted to put down the things myself." Xiao Ma did not shy away from what he thought in his heart. He paused and regained his emotions, and then continued, "However, among those things, there was a rare jade pot spring bottle, which was very valuable. I immediately felt that this time it might be a big thing. So, I woke up with Zhang San, first covered the news myself, and then asked me to think of a solution."
"Then you have told him that we will go together, right?" Jia Sidao glanced at Xiaoma and said.
"How is that possible?" Xiao Ma said, "The money I can raise will definitely not be too much. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth now, that is, it's only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Even if I want to take action, I can only get some small things and enjoy it. Or just see if there is any good opportunity to find a bargain. Zhang Sanbian, listening to his tone, seems to be poorer than me recently. I don't know if he can raise enough money for the whole afternoon."
After saying this, Xiaoma sighed a little, looked at A San and Jia Si and said, "Also, after A San and I were on the phone, I also mentioned to Zhang San. He said at that time that as long as we follow the industry rules and give him some benefits, there will be no problem with him. Otherwise, I can't call A San over here, right?"
"Haha," A San smiled, hammered Xiaoma's shoulder, and said, "Xiaoma, the business you introduced will definitely not have any rules." After all, Xiaoma is also an insider. If there are conflicts and conflicts, he will not introduce it to his friends. Of course, the kind of person who wants to kill his friends and leave is an exception!
Jia Sidao took out a cigarette from his pocket, and each person divided one, smoking it while talking about antiques.
As he was talking, Xiaoma's cell phone rang.
The three of them couldn't help but stop talking to each other immediately. Jia Sidao and A San looked at Xiao Ma intentionally or unintentionally. Xiao Ma calmly picked up his cell phone, looked at the caller ID, nodded to the two of them, then answered the phone and said, "Hey, Zhang San, I'm ready here, where are you?"
"Me?" The phone was quite loud. Jia Sidao and A San could vaguely hear a sound that seemed quite depressed. "Of course there is no problem here. It's just that I didn't raise money myself. By the way, are you at home now? Where is that big customer?"
"It's all in my house." Xiao Ma said, "They have two of them in total, they are the same."
"Oh, two people, since they are one, there is no problem. Have you decided, and you will go there now?" said the other party. "Tell them to prepare the money and I will come over immediately."
"As soon!" Xiaoma responded, "By the way, Zhang San, we have a car here. If there is no problem, you can just take a taxi here."
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoma had a smile on her face and asked to A San and Jia Sidao: "How about it, are you here with the money, or are you going back to get it now?"
"Go and get it now." A San glanced at Jia Sidao, and the two nodded. Immediately, A San pulled Jia Sidao and drove to A San's own house. You know, during this period of time, the bank had already got off work. Even if he could withdraw money, he couldn't withdraw much.
"Asan, I won't bring money with me." Jia Sidao said, "If you see something you like and you can meet it, you can embezzle the money from you first. The things should be taken as I have received. You can put the money on. Then I will write a check for you directly."
"Finish!" A San nodded. He could use a check between his own people, and even if he didn't use a check, A San could probably nod and agree. Who made Jia Sidao's preparations be more hasty? The reason why Jia Sidao proposed the check was not because A San agreed not to believe Jia Sidao. Instead, it is better to have a clear division of labor in terms of money if it is related to the purchase of antique collections. A San accepted Jia Sidao's check, then no matter whether it was coming up, after the transaction of Jia Sidao's favorite thing to trade, whether it was profitable or lost, it had nothing to do with him.
When the two returned to Xiaoma's home, Zhang San had arrived. The four of them simply met. In fact, they were mainly unfamiliar with Jia Sidao and Zhang San. Then, the four of them got into Jia Sidao's car together, and Zhang San took the passenger seat to guide the way. Jia Sidao drove and drove all the way northward.
Speaking of which, Zhang San was also worried. If the news he had was revealed in advance by someone else, he would be a little bit unworthy of it. So, in the fact that since he could not take over the things himself, then introducing the things and earning some agency fees is also a good choice. After delaying for a long time, he might not be able to get anything.
So, Jia Sidao drove the car very fast, as if he was afraid that the business he had won would be snatched away by others. He walked for about an hour, from the initial provincial road to the county road, to the asphalt road in the countryside, to the last rural road, and to the bumpy gravel road. When the sky got a little dark, the car drove into a small village.
After getting off the bus, Jia Sidao looked at the place, probably leaving the boundary of Linhai County and arrived at the next county town. However, the entire village does not look very big, and in terms of geographical location, it is still the middle area between the two county towns. Standing at the entrance of the village, you can see the entire village at a glance!
"Let's go, right in front, about a hundred meters away." Zhang San said, and walked over first.
It was already dark. There were not many people standing or sitting at the entrance of the village, only a few old people were enjoying the cool air and chatting here. Seeing Jia Sidao and his group, they were curious and curious, but they didn't talk much. These old people, generally if no one asked, were quite understanding of the worldly ways.
Looking at Zhang San's attitude of walking into the village, I'm afraid these old people will also guess in their hearts, who are Zhang San and his party visiting?
When I arrived at the house of a farmer, the house was very old. On the edge of the house, there were some vegetable fields and straw stacks built on an old tree neatly around the edge of the vegetable fields! In addition, Jia Sidao also noticed that almost every house in this village had a yard surrounded by fences and earthen walls, or planting some vegetables, or just stacking some things.
As for the furniture in the house, most of them are mainly made of wood.
The owner of the house is a middle-aged man in his forties. He claims his surname is Hu. There are two people standing next to him. One of them is the owner's wife, who looks quite ordinary, and is the kind that can't be found in a while when standing among the crowd. There are already many traces of time on his face, which makes people feel a little indescribable.
When she saw Jia Sidao and his group come in, she obviously knew what to do next. Her expression seemed a little nervous. Jia Sidao noticed that in a short while, she looked at his husband several times.
The other one is a friend of Zhang San in the village, whose name is Li Weijun, and his nickname is directly called "Li Gou".
Everyone first introduced each other, and then made a noise. Then Jia Sidao realized that it was because of this Li Gou that Zhang San could grasp the news of this time at the first time. Otherwise, when he arrived in such a place, Jia Sidao would have doubted how Zhang San received the news.
As for Li Gou, who can wait here at the head of the household, it feels quite a bit like a professional broker. Just like a broker like Zhang San, Li Gou is a specialist here to prevent other brokers from taking customers here to grab business.
After Jia Sidao and A San looked at the whole house, they went straight to the point and asked the owner of the household to take out the things to see.
The man surnamed Hu nodded and gave a wink to his wife next to him. The wife naturally hurriedly closed the door and inserted the door bolt. The man surnamed Hu himself went upstairs alone. After about half a minute to a minute, he saw him walking down with a burlap bag. He took out the items from the bag one by one and placed them on a table against the wall in the middle of the room.
Jia Sidao, A San, and Xiaoma immediately came forward and checked carefully.
Among them, there is indeed the "Yuhu Chun Bottle" mentioned by Xiaoma. In addition, there are several items placed on the edge of the Yuhu Chun Bottle. A large pottery basin is gray and looks like an old thing; a light green glaze porcelain jar, temporarily, cannot be said of what its shape is; a "iron lump", if it is not for the vague decoration on it, Jia Sidao would think that this thing is purely for people; finally, there is a small milky white jade pendant, which looks more exquisite.
It was related to the type that the three of them were good at. The first one to check out was the most attractive jade pot spring bottle, while Jia Sidao chose the smallest and most exquisite white jade pendant. As for Xiaoma, he checked the iron lump now.
What surprised Jia Sidao was that the carving work on such a white jade pendant was actually very exquisite. Let’s not talk about the texture of the white jade for now. The carving technique is round carving, and the overall layout is relatively exquisite. The size of the regular jade pendant is about five centimeters long, two to three centimeters wide, and as for the thickness, it is relatively light and thin.
Just as Jia Sidao saw at first glance, the white jade pendant was holding Jia Sidao's hand and had a faint luster! On it, a white dragon rising into the sky, with its teeth and claws dancing, and the scales on the dragon's body were also vaguely visible. There were also a few auspicious clouds, surrounding the edge of the dragon's claws, flying very handsomely, showing a bit of spiritual energy. Looking at the jade quality, it was relatively white. Although it was not like the feeling of mutton fat white jade, it was considered to be quite good.
However, is such a thing really the ancient white jade pendant?
Jia Sidao thought that since it is made of white jade, it should at least be not much different from jade. Jia Sidao can clearly distinguish the texture of jade with supernatural powers. So, is the white jade pendant in front of him also possible?
As soon as he thought of it, Jia Sidao turned the jade pendant to his left hand and began to slowly concentrate his energy to perceive his supernatural powers and penetrate into the interior of the jade pendant bit by bit. Suddenly, Jia Sidao frowned. Then, Jia Sidao shone the white jade pendant in his hand towards the lights in the room, a little silent, not knowing what to say.
The carving process of this jade pendant is very good. I think it should have taken a lot of effort and effort by carving people. However, the material is really average. It is not that the use of other fake things like glass to make up the numbers, but the material of this jade pendant is indeed jade. It is just that it is obtained through dyeing.
Otherwise, Jia Sidao would not have imagined that a piece of jade with a relatively low texture would have the whiteness and purity that looks like this one now?
"How is it?" Seeing that it had been a lot of time, Zhang San, as an intermediary, naturally hoped that the transaction could be completed. Otherwise, his returns would undoubtedly be limited!
"Let's think about it." Asan said to Zhang San with a serious expression. Then, he pulled Jia Sidao's arm and signaled the two to find a corner and chat separately. This is also allowed. After all, when Xiaoma introduced Asan and Jia Sidao, he said that the two were in a partnership. In this way, regardless of whether Asan valued things or not, it would be normal to find Jia Sidao to make up for it.
Jia Sidao couldn't help but put down the jade pendant in his hand, followed A San, walked to a corner of the house, and muttered quietly. A San first asked: "Xiao Jia, you are more skilled in the things from jade. Why do you think of the thing you looked at?"
Jia Sidao shook his head slightly, and then found that at this moment, the conversation between the two people and the other people in the room were watching. Not to mention the owner, the man surnamed Hu, even Zhang San, was also looking forward to A San and Jia Sidao.
Jia Sidao's slight shaking of his head instantly made the man surnamed Hu's face turn dark.
So, Jia Sidao also began to learn his lessons and no longer did some body language. Instead, he went straight to A San's ear and whispered: "The carving of this jade pendant is pretty good, but the material is too poor and should not be worth much money. If Xiaoma is interested, he can take it over and play with it."
"That means, the thing is old?" Asan looked at Jia Sidao with some surprise.
"How to say, I still don't know much about the age of jade." Jia Sidao said, "You know that I am better at jade. Moreover, what is particularly important is that I am lucky in the raw materials of jade, that is, gambling stones. If I talk about jade carving, and the age of carving, I will be no different from an ordinary collector."
"That's right." Asan smiled bitterly and said, "But the jade pot spring bottle I saw is really a bit tricky."
"The thing is right, or is it wrong?" Jia Sidao asked in a low voice.
"You'll know if you go and take a look." Asan said this secretly. It seems that Asan himself is not very sure. Otherwise, with Asan's personality, he would definitely not hesitate so much. Furthermore, since Asan is ready to use the jade pendant on Jia Sidao's side to confirm whether his judgment is right or wrong, Jia Sidao guessed that the possibility of this jade pot spring bottle being used is relatively high!
However, judging from the white jade pendant that Jia Sidao looked at, the possibility of things being used is not very good. This makes Jia Sidao a little confused. Is this a trap or a chance to find a bargain?
When the two returned to the edge of the wooden table, Ah San said to Zhang San and the man surnamed Hu: "Let me see it again, let me see a few other things."
"Okay." Zhang San nodded. The other man surnamed Hu still looked not very good at the moment, but he didn't say much about Ah San's proposal. Anyway, at the end, no matter whether Ah San would buy it or not, he would just bite the price of the thing himself. There would be no big loss for the rest. Even if Ah San didn't buy it, it would just waste his whole night!
"Xiao Jia, how are you discussing? Are there any results?" When Jia Sidao started to check the jade pot spring bottle, the little horse next to him saw Jia Sidao and A San, who had changed a partner at this moment and was checking. Jia Sidao looked at his porcelain, while A San looked at the jade. Such a scene was quite interesting in the eyes of the little horses who knew the two. He couldn't help but approach Jia Sidao and asked in a low voice.
"Haha, Brother Ma, what are you looking at? How is it?" Jia Sidao was not in a hurry to answer, but asked back.
"I see now, but I don't see any name." Xiao Ma looked bitter when he looked at the things he looked at. He couldn't even understand the things. How could a hawker like him dare to make up his mind to take action? At most, before leaving, see if there is any chance, and take it from the man surnamed Hu at an extremely low price.
"Then you might as well look at other things." Jia Sidao felt that his mentality was relatively flat.
"Oh?" Xiao Ma, after hearing Jia Sidao's words, looked at the other things placed on the table in surprise. Jia Sidao was slightly stunned at first, then patted his forehead and woke up a little. His casual words just now seemed to be subconsciously showing that the result of the discussion between him and A San was in a state of inaccuracy, right?
Otherwise, how could Jia Sidao suggest Xiaoma to see other things?
With Jia Sidao's personality, if you can confirm that this batch of things is old, you will naturally leave immediately. If you can confirm that the things are real, or pretend to be here to facilitate the next bargaining, or just ask for the price directly. No matter how you say it, you will not let Xiaoma check other things by yourself.
Xiaoma is worthy of being a person who is hiding on Antique Street. His ability to observe words and expressions is far better than that of Jia Sidao.
Perhaps because she got the answer she wanted, Xiaoma was not in a hurry. She first looked at the two pieces on the table and the ceramic pots that no one noticed particularly yet. Then, she reached out and brought the pottery that looked gray.
In response to this, Jia Sidao also smiled slightly.
Looking at the jade pot spring bottle in my hand, it makes people feel illuminated in visual effect. It is quite impressive in height, about twenty centimeters. The edge of the bottle mouth is a little outward, the slender neck has sloping shoulders, a wide belly is slightly drooping, and the ring foot is that the bottom foot is relatively wide and short, and the bottom part is covered with white glaze, and there is no sign on it.
In addition, the edge of the mouth and the outer part is painted with a circle of curled branches. The upper half of the neck is also painted with six thin banana leaves. The lower half is decorated with back patterns and water patterns. The abdomen is painted with tangled mountain chrysanthemums. The flowers are oval in shape, with lush and full leaves. Jia Sidao looked at it and felt a bit like a screw, which is very charming. On the edge of the ring foot at the bottom, there are also some curled leaves patterned borders.
Judging from all the manifestations of such a jade pot spring bottle, it should belong to the style of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. If the thing is right, its price will naturally be expensive!
