"Uncle Long, what are you going to collect?" When Uncle Long greeted He Qing, Lin Haitao on the side asked curiously.
Uncle Long replied: "It is the treasure of 'Bogu Xuan'."
"Master Zhou's piece of Jun porcelain?" Lin Haitao asked in surprise, "Didn't that thing be transferred out? Boss Fu took a fancy to it."
Uncle Long shook his head and said: "It seems not. Boss Zhou called me just now and said that they still have that thing in hand and are willing to give it to us."
Lin Haitao frowned slightly and said, "Uncle Long, isn't this a little strange? No matter what we said before, Master Zhou refused to sell the pen washer to us. He did not hesitate to choose to go with us.
Boss Fu, who has a lot of money, is making deals, so why are you asking for help now? There won't be any problem with that thing, right?"
Lin Haitao lowered his voice when he said the last words, as if he was afraid that outsiders would hear him.
Uncle Long nodded thoughtfully and said: "It's indeed a bit strange, but it doesn't matter. Just go and see if the thing is the original one. Maybe Boss Zhou and Boss Fu didn't reach an agreement in the end, and we started working on it.
The price was not low either, so he was tempted."
"That's true." Lin Haitao said with a relieved look, "You have such good eyesight, don't you know if there is something wrong with that thing?"
"Well, let's go take a look first. Haitao, you stay in the store and watch." Uncle Long turned to He Qing and said, "Xiao Qing, let's go to 'Boguxuan'."
"Okay." He Qing responded quickly. When Uncle Long and Lin Haitao were discussing the antique, he had been listening carefully. Uncle Long and the others were talking about a so-called "Jun Porcelain Brush Wash".
Regarding the brush washer, He Qing certainly knew that the brush washer was a kind of study utensil besides the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. It was a vessel used to hold water to wash the brush. Ancient literati were quite particular about this kind of thing. There are some in antiques.
It is not surprising that a collection of pen washes is found.
But He Qing also knew nothing about "Jun porcelain". However, hearing how much Uncle Long and Lin Haitao attached great importance to it, he knew that Jun porcelain was not an ordinary porcelain and should be of great collection value.
At the moment, He Qing followed Uncle Long out of the "Jianbao Zhai", and then drove to a place that was euphemistically called "Boguxuan". From the name, he guessed it was also an antique shop.
Uncle Long drives a Volkswagen, which is relatively common on the street, but his car is brand new and looks like he just bought it not long ago.
In the car, He Qing casually took out his mobile phone from his pocket. He planned to check online first to see what kind of ancient porcelain Jun porcelain was, so as to prepare for appreciating the real thing later.
You wouldn’t know if you didn’t check it, but you were shocked when you checked it. Only then did He Qing know that Jun porcelain is one of the five famous kiln porcelains of the Song Dynasty in my country. It is famous for its unique "kiln transformation art" and is known as "gold has a price." Priceless" and "a piece of Jun porcelain is not as good as a home with thousands of treasures".
After a while, the car stopped and the place it arrived was very close to Temple Street. He Qing had been there once, so He Qing felt that it was not unfamiliar.
"Xiaoqing, let's go down. Just follow me later and pay more attention to the surrounding situation." Uncle Long greeted with a smile, "In the antique business, you have to look more and buy less. Only when you are sure can you make a move.
, otherwise it will be too late to regret if you buy the wrong thing. When you first come to 'Jianbaozhai', we will not let you collect things alone, especially expensive and heavy items. Also, a very important point,
If you are new here, you should get to know more friends in the industry so that you can get more information."
"I know, Uncle Long." He Qing happily agreed.
Everything Uncle Long said was true. He was new to the antique business. Not only did he not know the rules very well, but he also knew no one except Gu Qing, Lin Haitao and a few others. It was not easy to find good treasures in this small circle.
But it all depends on people. After a long time, you will naturally get into the industry.
Later, He Qing, led by Uncle Long, walked to an antique shop on the roadside. It was the "Boguxuan" that intended to transfer the "Jun Porcelain Brush Wash".
In the store, I saw two men standing there, with different expressions on their faces, as if they were anxiously waiting for something.
As soon as Uncle Long stepped into the threshold, one of the middle-aged men hurriedly walked up to him.
Walking into the store, He Qing found that this store was not upscale at all compared to "Jianbaozhai". It was just a relatively ordinary antique store. The items on the shelves on both sides seemed to have not been put away at first glance, giving people a sense of
A mixed feeling.
The middle-aged man who greeted Uncle Long first was probably the store owner. He looked like he was in his fifties, and his face was full of wrinkles, which made him look a bit older. The man who looked like a young boy who followed him closely behind was still very young, and he looked a bit old.
However, he looks like a man in his mid-twenties, very tall, but as skinny as a stick, with a somewhat bowed back, low energy, and a rather wretched look.
"...Master Long, please come this way. The things are ready, so I'd like you to take a look." The middle-aged man said enthusiastically, and led He Qing and the others into an inner room.
The area here is very small and the light is very dark. He Qing feels that it is not suitable to appraise an antique in such a place, but he does not have to worry about anything because he knows that Uncle Long has very good eyesight and he usually will not look at it.
Wandering.
"Boss Zhou, why didn't you talk to Boss Fu about your drum nail three-legged pen washer?" Uncle Long suddenly asked in a calm tone.
The middle-aged man replied solemnly: "Hey, stop talking, the negotiation didn't work out! After all, Boss Fu is not a person in our antique business. He doesn't follow the rules. He clearly agreed to change hands for three million, but he changed hands halfway.
He changed his mind and said that he would only sell me for two million, but he would not sell it for me for two hundred and fifty, but he would sell it to him for two million?! I will never deal with this kind of person again, there is no integrity!"
"Oh, so that's it." Uncle Long said with a sudden realization, "Not everyone agrees on the rules of the antique shop. From now on, we should do business with the right talents."
"Isn't that true?" Boss Zhou nodded in agreement, "You will learn a lesson from the experience. Master Long, will your 'Jianbao Zhai' accept my stuff?"
"Take it." Uncle Long replied without hesitation.
"What about the price? Is it still the one you negotiated with me before?" Boss Zhou asked immediately.
Uncle Long said solemnly: "As long as the item is right, the price is easily negotiable."
"Of course! If it's fake, you've already seen the original Jun kiln porcelain!" Boss Zhou said with excitement, while winking at the young man standing respectfully next to him.
He brings something.
The man understood, and quickly and carefully took out a piece of porcelain from a box. The porcelain was simple and elegant, showing a sky-blue color. It looked like a small disk with a tripod under it, forming an impressive "three-legged" form.
Before the items were placed on the coffee table, He Qing noticed that there was a faint red light emitting from the surface of the porcelain, indicating that the item was precious and should be a good item with a certain age.
In the blink of an eye, the aura emanating from the three-legged brush wash gathered in front of He Qing's eyes and began to play the video.
Watching the "movie" played backwards with full concentration, He Qing understood the ins and outs of the Jun porcelain. It was indeed an official kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty, but there was a huge problem.
"It turns out that the three-legged pen washer was damaged by that fat man, and one of its legs was broken! Now they've pasted it up with strong glue. Are they trying to deceive Uncle Long?!" He Qing was secretly shocked.
