After more than a week of renovation, the basement level of the home has been renovated, and several storage rooms have all been internally reinforced into safes.
There is also a second underground floor, which Chen Xingchen has helped to renovate. There are many large and small electric kilns and gas kilns inside. He even bought an electric furnace, which he plans to use for making bronzes.
"Let you see something good!"
Taking his things, Chen Wenzhe returned to the sofa at the door.
After sitting down, he opened the gift box and revealed the pastel figure inside.
"Eight Immortals? This is pastel color. It looks very new!"
"Is it new? If you think about it carefully, is it the same as the new porcelain you have seen?"
"It's a little different. It feels a little oily. The new porcelain is a little dry. It looks like there's a layer of light. Is that the firelight?"
"Yes, this layer of oily luster is the precious light, also called clam light. When viewed from the side, it looks like the layer of colorful light inside the clam. It looks very beautiful. However, this clam light can also be faked.
, if there are only clams, then it’s authentic.”
"Well, this one doesn't have a model? Is it the real thing? The pastel color should date back to the Qing Dynasty. Judging from the shape and decoration, they are very beautiful. If it is the real thing, it must be from an official kiln, right?"
"Don't hesitate, it is indeed an official kiln."
"Is it really an official kiln? Such exquisite porcelain must not be from Kangxi? I read that pastels were invented during the Kangxi period, but the technology was immature. The mature period was during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods."
Looking at Li Jinli, Chen Wenzhe felt more and more satisfied. This was his understanding.
After reading the book once, there is no point in memorizing it. He still has to learn and apply it. Li Jinli was able to think of so much after his prompting, which was already very good.
"Take a good look at the real thing. Only when you have seen the real thing and remembered it in your heart can you recognize the fakes when you see them outside. In fact, there is a fundamental condition for appraising porcelain, that is, it must be beautiful.
Whether in modern times or in ancient times, people fired porcelain in pursuit of beauty. Even if it is a practical ware, it must be made as exquisitely as possible. This is the natural pursuit of human beings."
"So, if you see something ugly outside, or you don't think it's beautiful, or you just feel a little abnormal, and you feel a little weird after seeing something, the value of this kind of thing, even if it is old, will not be too high. Of course, in the world,
There is no absolute, but in most cases, it is like this."
"Is that so? I looked at the Yuan blue and white pictures on the Internet, and they were all very black and not very beautiful!" Chen Qingchuan continued.
"Haha, someone posted a picture online and said it was Yuan Qinghua, do you really believe it?"
Chen Wenzhe shook his head helplessly and said: "You have to watch the videos and pictures, and try to see the collections and videos of major museums. You can look for them now, especially the Yuan blue and white in the Palace Museum's collection. See if the blue and white are dim, or even
blackened.
Absolutely not. Real Yuan blue and white flowers, especially those well-preserved Yuan blue and white flowers, are very exquisite. They are even so beautiful that you will be amazed. Also, look at the Yuan blue and white flowers auctioned by major auction houses over the years. Which one is not
pretty?"
"So, the dim Yuanqinghua must be fake?" Chen Qingchuan said again.
Chen Wenzhe could only shake his head, a child cannot be taught!
Compared with Li Jinli, his eldest brother should go to the construction site to move bricks!
"I just said it is a high-quality product. As long as it is sold on the Internet and can be sold for tens of millions or hundreds of millions, there is not a single one that is ugly."
"I know, I also know, I'm not a material for appraisal."
Chen Qingchuan smiled. He was a brother who thought too well of everything.
"It's okay, just hold on to me here."
"I think so too!" Chen Qingchuan smiled even brighter.
He is hopeless and has no ambition at all!
"How can you support my eldest nephew like this?"
"Don't worry, I have a solution! Besides, a salary of ten thousand yuan a month is quite a lot."
"You are really worthless. Senior Brother Li gets nearly 5,000 yuan in commission every day. How much is that in a month? More than 100,000 yuan."
Chen Qingchuan curled his lips and said: "You haven't seen his efforts. Every time a customer comes, he has to wear his tongue. I can't do it."
Chen Wenzhe was speechless. Is it so difficult to make sales? Besides, he had already made a name for himself.
However, sometimes talent really determines destiny, and this cannot be rewarded by hard work.
The two brothers chatted about their parents' quarrels, but Li Jinli was always studying the pastel mouth-washing statue with the Eight Immortals' figures.
Well, Li Jinli's efforts will definitely be rewarded.
With him in the store, Chen Wenzhe really feels relieved.
Therefore, even if he was given a commission of three to five thousand a day, Chen Wenzhe would not feel bad at all.
These days, Li Jinli stays in the store until ten o'clock every day, and leaves quickly with Chen Wenzhe.
It was still very busy during the period, but no matter how hard I tried, I could only sell a dozen pairs of bracelets in one day.
I'm afraid this has reached the limit. Yi Niantang is a small shop after all.
As for the trading volume of ten pairs of gold bracelets, Li Jinli definitely played an indispensable role.
Nowadays, the gold bracelets sold are not only bought by the aunts from Dahai City who were introduced by Aunt Zhang, but also many are purchased by tourists, all of which are attributed to Li Jinli.
It can be said that Chen Wenzhe definitely made a lot more money with Li Jinli here.
It turned out that he thought that he would only be able to do this good business for three to five days, and that it would be difficult to do so when other stores sold the same gold bracelets.
Unexpectedly, with Li Jinli's participation, this business has been running for almost half a month, and it can still maintain a trading volume of ten pairs of bracelets every day, which is absolutely rare.
You know, this kind of transaction volume means that Chen Wenzhe can earn more than 400,000 yuan every day.
In comparison, the 5,000 yuan commission given to Li Jinli is nothing.
But even so, Li Jinli is very satisfied, otherwise he would not be able to keep smiling all the time recently.
Think about it, a senior who has not yet officially graduated can earn a salary of more than 100,000 yuan a month, which is absolutely amazing.
"Do you see anything? Firelight is the basic thing. Even a novice should be able to recognize this. Of course, except for the National Treasure Gang, they don't need to see with their eyes. If there is no problem with the firelight, they have to look at the decoration, the shape of the vessel, and even the glaze.
You have to learn all of these.
At the very least, you need to know the Qing Dynasty paintings, the characteristics of the glaze, and the identification of porcelain depends on the underlay. Due to the firing, some parts of the porcelain base cannot be glazed, which exposes the underlay.
By looking at the base, we can see a lot of information, such as the makang soil of Yuan blue and white, and the flint red on many old porcelains. However, this is not a decisive factor in determining whether the porcelain is authentic. The old base can also be attached.
"
Although he was talking, Chen Wenzhe kept staring at Li Jinli and looking at his expression.
Some people are willing to learn, but they are more arrogant and resent others' preaching.
But Li Jinli was obviously different. He had a good attitude. As long as Chen Wenzhe spoke, he would listen carefully and even take notes.
