When he found out the true condition of the porcelain, He Qing was very excited, because just as he expected, the thing was indeed of great origin. It was not an ordinary porcelain, but a masterpiece from the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty.
But on the surface, he maintained a calm expression, as if nothing had happened. No one, including Tian Tian, Gao Shuai and others standing next to him, noticed anything unusual. Of course, except for Tian Tian at this moment,
No one would pay attention to him, because with the eyesight of Gao Shuai and the others, He Qing could tell at a glance that He Qing was the kind of novice who was just starting out. His eyesight was so prioritized that he couldn't see anything at all.
"I wonder what Boss Deng and the others think of that piece of porcelain." He Qing thought to himself.
Although he was completely sure that the pastel porcelain he noticed at the beginning was the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, it was not on an antique stall or on the shelves of an antique shop, but on someone else's table.
What I saw among the batches of porcelain that was appraised was that those porcelains were not purchased and could not be taken directly with money.
Therefore, when he realized this, He Qing's heart fluctuated for a while. He was anxious and disappointed at the same time. After all, it was very likely that the piece of porcelain was not destined for him, at least it would not be so easy to obtain it.
Unless the piece of porcelain is not favored by Boss Deng and others and is identified as an ordinary piece of antique porcelain, then there is a chance to pick up this huge leak.
The pastel porcelain from the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty is very valuable. According to He Qing's preliminary judgment, it is worth at least more than 100 million. If it is sent to an international auction, it will undoubtedly fetch a sky-high price.
Who wouldn’t be interested in such precious ancient porcelain?
Experts like He Qing who are keen on collecting fine porcelain from official kilns of various dynasties are no exception.
"Master Deng, Master Pan, hehe, you should have seen it almost, right? Do you want these pieces of porcelain?"
At this time, a middle-aged man who had been standing aside and looking at the porcelain without saying anything suddenly asked with a smile.
The man looked about fifty years old. Although he was relatively short, he was very strong and had a pair of bright eyes. He was obviously a very shrewd businessman.
Although He Qing didn't know the man, he could guess that he was probably the owner of the current batch of porcelain. He was also the "Boss Hu" that Gao Shuai mentioned just now.
Boss Hu seemed a little anxious and asked the buyer, Master Deng, what they thought.
Master Deng shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Boss Hu. You have to look at this carefully before you can decide. After all, this is not a batch of ordinary porcelain. Your bid is not low, so we have to look carefully and consider it carefully."
Only then can I tell you the final answer!”
Boss Hu smiled coquettishly and said: "That's right! We have to wait until you think about it, but I hope you can make a decision quickly, because I have something important to do and can't stay with you for long. In fact, experts and professionals like you must read
At first glance, I knew in my mind that everyone can see what the batch of porcelain I brought today is like.
"Haha, to tell you the truth, this batch of pastel porcelain from the Qing Dynasty was collected by a friend of mine with great difficulty in his early years. He now asked me to sell it on his behalf because he was very tight on money and needed money urgently, otherwise
If such good porcelain is sent to an auction company, I don’t know how much it can be sold for!
"The price I'm asking for now is already very low. I'd like to know the price of pastel porcelain from official kilns in the Qing Dynasty. How much can one fetch now?"
When he said it with great joy, he sounded like a grandma who was selling melons and boasting about herself.
According to him, the batch of pastel porcelain in front of him are all official kiln pastel porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, without exception.
Others may believe these words, but He Qing, who is a clear observer, laughs at it because he can judge very accurately. Except for one of the porcelains, the rest are fakes. They are basically the same as handicrafts. There is nothing.
Collection value.
It's just that Master Deng and the others don't quite understand it, otherwise they wouldn't have pondered it for so long and been so entangled.
"That must be porcelain from the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty!" Master Deng said with a wry smile, "Boss Hu, of course we know the price of genuine pastel porcelain, but are the porcelains you brought here from the Qing Dynasty?
, it still needs to be tested.”
Boss Hu said hurriedly: "Even if you are gambling, you will definitely not lose money. As long as one of them is genuine, you will make a lot of money! I don't believe that none of them are pastel porcelain from the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty. The workmanship is so good."
Exquisite and flawless, how can a fake achieve this effect?"
Master Deng shook his head disapprovingly and said: "That's not necessarily true. It's hard to say. Boss Hu, you are a professional in this line of work. You must know a very cruel real problem better than us. Nowadays, with the rapid development of high technology,
Progress in porcelain making
There are many kinds of counterfeiting methods, and they strive for perfection. The new products are much better than the original ones. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just talking about ‘Zhu Fake’, ‘Zhu Fake’ may not be the most powerful among high imitations, but
It’s enough to confuse the fake with the real, making it difficult for people to distinguish between the real and the fake.”
"Zhu Fang?!"
When Master Deng mentioned the word "Zhu Fang", not only Tian Tian and the others, but also He Qing could not help but be secretly shocked.
"Zhu imitation" is absolutely a terrifying existence in the business of buying and selling ancient porcelain and collecting it, making people shudder when they think about it.
When he heard this, for some unknown reason, Tian Tian suddenly turned around and looked at He Qing. A strange light flashed in his eyes, as if he was thoughtful, as if he suddenly thought of something, and this
It’s related to He Qing.
"Of course there are high imitations." Boss Hu nodded and said, "But we can't deny that this is a batch of exquisite porcelain. Look, they are all regular in shape, with bright glazes and exquisite patterns. They are impeccable! Master Deng
, Master Pan, my friend specially told me that if you like it, then it will be at that price and you can make a deal immediately. If you have any doubts, forget it, because he just wants to sell it as soon as possible. If this one doesn't succeed, he will have to switch to another one.
.”
As soon as these words came out, Master Deng and Master Pan couldn't help but look at each other with confusion in their eyes. This matter obviously troubled them and left them in a dilemma, not knowing how to make a decision.
Boss Hu was obviously giving a final "ultimatum". He urged them to think about it quickly, otherwise they would leave with the porcelain and find another buyer.
Seeing that Boss Hu was a little impatient, Master Deng quickly smiled and said: "Boss Hu, don't be too impatient. You see, we are all acquaintances. Just think about it for us. After all, it is a multi-million business, and we are not
It’s not easy for a big boss who spends a lot of money to do a small business. What if. I said, if you buy the wrong thing, you may lose everything. With our little ability, I’m afraid we won’t be able to earn back that much money in our lifetime.
ah!"
"I know!" Boss Hu nodded vigorously. "I brought the porcelain to you first because we are acquaintances. Otherwise, how could I come to you with the things in the first place?
Where's the store? Master Deng. Okay, then I'll give you a little more time to think about it, but I'll only give you half an hour at most. My friend is desperate now. If they can't come up with so much money at noon tomorrow, then their family will
Everyone is in trouble!"
"What happened?" Master Deng asked casually.
Boss Hu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "This is a big deal. It's nothing more than money owed to others, and it's a loan shark. The person who lent them the money is very powerful. Tomorrow is the deadline for them to repay the loan. When the agreed time comes, then
We can’t delay it for even a minute.”
"That's it!" Master Deng suddenly realized.
He Qing was doubtful. He didn't know whether Teacher Hu was telling a story to deceive people or if it was true. However, this was no longer important to him. What he was interested in was one of the porcelains.
"The whole batch of porcelain only costs a few million. If Master Deng and the others don't want it, then I will talk to Boss Hu immediately." After learning about this situation, He Qing quickly made a decision in his heart. He wanted to discuss it with Boss Hu.
The deal was concluded.
However, there is a first-come, first-served rule for this kind of thing. Master Deng and the others are in front, so we have to wait and see their decision first.
If they don't want this batch of porcelain, it will be He Qing's turn next.
Otherwise, He Qing would have to take action from Master Deng and the others.
"Boss Hu, let's do as you say." Master Deng nodded and agreed, "Lao Pan and I will discuss it first. We will be back soon. I will give you a definite answer later."
"Well, okay, I said I'd wait for you for half an hour, but it's only half an hour at most." Boss Hu responded.
After finishing speaking, Master Deng and Master Pan turned around and walked away to discuss the transaction.
He Qing, Tian Tian and others stayed where they were.
After a while, Master Deng and the others turned around and came back.
"How's it going? Have you considered it without you?" Boss Hu asked anxiously when Master Deng and the two came back.
Master Deng glanced at Master Pan next to him and said: "Boss Hu, this is what we are thinking about. There are eight pieces of porcelain in total, right? We only want four of them, and we don't want to consider the other four for the time being. As for the price, we will give half of it."
What do you think?"
"This?" Boss Hu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then which pieces of porcelain do you want?"
"Just these four pieces." Master Deng immediately pointed out four of the large pastel porcelain pieces.
"That piece of china is not in there?!"
He Qing saw it clearly. He did not expect that Master Deng and the others would exclude the only genuine pastel porcelain. Seeing this, he felt inexplicably excited.
Because Master Deng and the others gave up on the piece of porcelain, he had hope of getting it, and thus picked up this huge leak that was difficult to estimate at the moment.
"Haha, these four pieces of porcelain?" Boss Hu shook his head without hesitation and said, "How can that be done? You picked out the best four pieces, and you can't sell half of the remaining four pieces.
What's the price? Master Deng, how about this, exchange this piece for any of the four pieces you like, and then we can seal the deal."
As he spoke, he pointed at one of the porcelains, and that porcelain was exactly the one that emitted a strong "treasure light", which was the pastel official kiln porcelain that He Qing had already proven.
"Isn't it?! Boss Hu doesn't like that piece of porcelain either?!" Hearing what Boss Hu said, He Qing was even more surprised. Not only Master Deng and the others, Boss Hu himself seemed to be extremely disdainful of that unique piece of porcelain.
The two sides were pushing the genuine porcelain back and forth, just like playing with a rubber ball.
"No, no, we don't want that piece of porcelain!" Master Deng couldn't help but shake his head and resolutely refused, "We still think the other porcelain is of some value, but we will never want that piece of porcelain!"
"Why?" Boss Hu asked doubtfully.
Master Pan chatted: "Everyone can see that the Flower and Bird Ruyi double-eared statue is an imitation of the Republic of China, and the traces of imitation are very obvious."
"Oh, really?" Boss Hu looked at him dubiously.
After a while, he pointed to another piece of porcelain and said: "Is it okay to exchange it for another piece? The three pieces you selected are already very good. They can be said to be the best three pieces of porcelain. Use half of them.
Buy according to the price, just make a profit but not lose. You should also understand us, we have to sell the remaining four pieces at half the price. None of them are good. If they are too bad, who will want them?"
"Okay, we'll take those four pieces and give you half the price." Master Deng finally agreed after discussing for a while. Later, they wrote a check to Boss Hu for a total price of six million.
Half of that is three million.
After getting the money, Boss Hu said goodbye in a hurry, and then took the remaining four pieces of porcelain and prepared to leave.
"Boss Hu, please take a step slowly!"
At this moment, a person shouted. (To be continued...)
