The objects in this antique shop are all about orderly inheritance. Similarly, people who collect are also about their origins. Zhuang Rui studied under Uncle De, so he is considered to be in the circle. For a while, Fatty Jin and others
His attitude towards him also became enthusiastic, and it was also the rule in the industry to support the younger generation.
The man nicknamed Sun Dasheng had a close relationship with Uncle De, so he naturally regarded Zhuang Rui as his junior. After calling Zhuang Rui over, he asked about Uncle De's current situation.
"Zhuang Rui? Zhuang Rui, why is this name so familiar?"
The ceramic appraisal expert named Tian Fan frowned and was thinking about something after hearing Zhuang Rui's name. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stood up without caring about the bumps of the car, and rushed to Zhuang Rui in one step.
The person sitting in the row of seats said: "Xiaozhuang, did you collect something from Panjiayuan the day before yesterday?"
Zhuang Rui was startled by the little old man who suddenly rushed over. Judging from the age of this man, he should be over fifty, and his movements were so agile. However, after hearing Tian Fan's words, Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment. The day before yesterday
How come what happened in the afternoon spread so quickly?
As mentioned before, the circulation of antiques, in addition to buying and selling, is the private communication between players. Beijing seems to be a big city, but most people in this industry know each other. The shopkeeper is in Zhuang Rui.
After leaving, he immediately let the news out.
You must know that Longshan black pottery is not only of great collection value, but also of high archaeological value. It can be regarded as one of the few exquisite pottery. Tian Fan has been immersed in pottery all his life, so he is naturally very interested in this thing. Listen
As soon as the shopkeeper mentioned it, he paid attention, which is why he reacted like this.
"Xiaozhuang, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask if you got that item?"
Seeing a car full of people staring at him, Tian Fan blushed and felt a little embarrassed. Although Tian Fan and Fatty Jin both worked in the Palace Museum, Fatty Jin often participated in some social activities, while Tian Fan stayed there all day.
When doing research in the workplace, people are a bit dull.
"Yes, I met Longshan Black Pottery in Panjiayuan the day before yesterday. I was pretty lucky. The boss of Ci Laifang told you, right?" He picked up the treasure by himself, which was fair and honest. Zhuang Rui admitted it openly.
Come down.
"Hey, is it really you? What a coincidence. I also asked the old man to make an appointment with you. Xiaozhuang, after we finish the show and return to Beijing, can you show me this Longshan black pottery to the old man?
"
Tian Fan followed up and said that there are too few high-quality black pottery in existence. Even he has only seen one or two pieces, and they were all a bit incomplete. If the car was not driving to Jinan now, he would have wanted to take Zhuang immediately.
Rui went to see the object.
"Sure, no problem..."
Zhuang Rui readily agreed. Although Tian Fan was not well-known, with his status as a researcher at the Palace Museum, he was worth making friends with. Maybe he would have a chance to see the vast sea-like scenery in the Forbidden City.
’s collection.
"Xiao Zhuang, I don't see that you have a skill. Not everyone can encounter this kind of leakage. Come on, tell us a few words..."
After receiving Zhuang Rui's exact answer, Old Man Tian sat back with satisfaction. He just wanted to see the object and was not interested in how Zhuang Rui got it. However, Fatty Jin and others became interested and sat around Zhuang Rui one after another.
Came over.
Everyone has a hobby of listening to stories. Not only the people in the antique shop are interested, but also the several members of the film crew, including the driver, all pricked up their ears and listened. This is similar to buying a lottery ticket, it is equivalent to winning.
Grand prize.
Collecting is a very mysterious thing for ordinary people, and picking up missing treasures is even more legendary. This is not so attractive to ordinary people.
Liu Jia looked at Zhuang Rui with a different look at this time. She was originally worried that he would be out of tune with these experts and would affect the shooting of this column. She did not expect that this young man with an unspectacular appearance would become so popular so quickly.
He has become a group with everyone, and now he is vaguely leading the conversation with him as the center.
At this moment, Director Zhu seemed a little embarrassed. His words about Zhuang Rui were heard by several experts. Although he did not stand up for Zhuang Rui, he became a little cold when he talked to Director Zhu again.
It's not hot anymore.
"Mr. Zhuang, you bought that black pottery for 1,000 yuan, how much is it worth?"
After Zhuang Rui finished speaking, the bearded middle-aged man who got into the car with the camera asked, "They don't care about the research value of this object, but how much it can be sold for."
"Let me tell you this. Since the Longshan black pottery came out in 1936, a lot of them have been unearthed. They can be seen all over Shandong, but there are very few high-quality ones. If the firing process of Xiaozhuang's black pottery can reach
The piece in Mr. Liang's hands back then, I'm afraid the market price would have been at least six million or more..."
The speaker was General Manager Qian of the Kyoto Auction. He knew the market prices of various antiques very well. After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Rui and said, "Xiao Zhuang, what do you think? Is that black pottery interesting?"
Do you want to take action? I can arrange a special auction for you, and I can guarantee that the transaction price will be more than 7 million."
The income from the auction mainly comes from the commission after the auction is completed. The commission charged by each auction is different, but it is generally more than 12%. Take Zhuang Rui's black pottery as an example, if it can be sold for 7
One million, the auction house can earn at least 800,000 yuan, so after General Manager Qian knew that Zhuang Rui had this object, he immediately made up his mind.
"Haha, I recently bought a yard in Xuanwu and am currently renovating it. I am also thinking of collecting a few more items. I will keep this one for myself, but when I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely trouble Mr. Qian...
"
Zhuang Rui's words made everyone take a breath. They are all Beijingers or have lived in Beijing for decades. As for the courtyard Zhuang Rui mentioned, they naturally know that it is a courtyard. Now it is a small courtyard of several hundred square meters.
The price of the yard is around 8 million. I didn't expect that the director of the Jade Association has such a strong net worth.
People who collect are not necessarily rich. Although the people in the car are all well-known figures in the antique circle, they also receive a salary. Their net worth is far less than that of Zhuang Rui, let alone those from the TV station.
When the girl doing makeup looked at Zhuang Rui, her eyes were already filled with stars.
Director Zhu regretted his attitude just now. In his heart, this young man's wealth was definitely not earned by himself. He was probably a descendant of some big family. It was unwise for him to offend him just now.
What Zhuang Rui said above was actually said intentionally. In today's society, people associate your success with your wealth. I don't know where the literati's arrogance has been lost.
, otherwise the experts in the car would not be invited to participate in this treasure appraisal activity.
The old man told Zhuang Rui that after this event is over, the red envelope will not be less than 30,000 yuan. If you earn 30,000 yuan in two days, food, accommodation and travel will be included. No fool will come.
Zhuang Rui came to participate in this treasure appraisal activity just to build a reputation in the jade shop. There is no need to play low-key and pretend to be a grandson. Wouldn't it be weakening the reputation of the two elders, Mr. Gu and Uncle De?
Sure enough, after Zhuang Rui's words came out, the attitudes of several experts changed inadvertently. Even the members of the TV crew who originally looked down upon Zhuang Rui, a young expert, all called him Teacher Zhuang.
He shouted, making Zhuang Rui feel a little embarrassed.
…
Beijing is about 400 kilometers away from Jinan. The expressway in Shandong is famous in the country. After going all the way at high speed, at about 11:30 noon, we have entered the boundary of Jinan.
Jinan's name comes from the Jinan County established in the Western Han Dynasty, meaning "south of Jishui", also known as "Quancheng". It is the capital of Shandong Province, a major economic province on the eastern coast of China. It is one of the national historical and cultural cities announced by the State Council.
First, it is the political, economic, cultural, technological, educational and financial center of the province. It is also a coastal open city approved by the state and one of the fifteen sub-provincial cities.
The birthplace of the world-famous prehistoric culture, Longshan Culture, is located in Jinan. There are also the Neolithic Age site Chengziya, the Great Wall of Qi that preceded the Great Wall of Qin, and the Song Dynasty colored sculptures of Lingyan Temple, known as "the first famous sculpture in the country"
Arhat and others.
It is said that Shun once "fished in Leize and farmed in Mount Li". Mount Li is Qianfo Mountain in the south of Jinan City, so there are still various place names named after Shun scattered in the city, such as "Shun Well"
, "Shun Geng Road", "Shun Geng Mountain", etc.
During the flood season in Jinan, areas with dense springs present a beautiful scenery of "springs in every house and poplar trees in every house." As early as the Song Dynasty, the writer Zeng Gong commented: "There are so many sweet springs that they are the best in the world." In the Yuan Dynasty,
Geographer Yu Qin also praised: "Jinan's mountains and rivers are the best in Qilu, and its springs are the best in the world."
At the expressway exit into Jinan City, a car with the words Jinan TV Station painted on its body was already waiting there.
I said hello to the driver of the minibus Zhuang Rui and others were riding in. That car led the way and drove directly into the parking lot of a five-star hotel. This private treasure appraisal event was held in this hotel.
It is held in-house, and of course, the experts’ food and accommodation are also provided here.
At the entrance of the hotel, there is a big red banner with the words "Promote national culture, collect and appreciate treasures from all over the world". I think Shandong Fangming has done a lot of preparations before the event.
In fact, this folk treasure appraisal event was sponsored by Shandong. Jingcheng Station is a cooperative unit of brothers, because some resources must be invited by them, just like these six experts wearing long gowns walking in the hotel.
Apart from people filming movies, where else are there people wearing this green gown these days? So when several experts appeared in the hotel, everyone's attention was attracted. One foreigner even raised his camera to take a picture.
Take a photo.
Zhuang Rui was not used to it, but looking at the calm and composed expressions of the others, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him. Fortunately, he had to eat in a private room, otherwise he would be looked at like a giant panda. Zhuang Rui really didn't want to
Find out if you can still have an appetite.
Jinan welcomed the expert group with high standards. In addition to the presence of the chairman and deputy directors of Jinan TV Station, the deputy mayor in charge of culture and education also came to toast several experts with a glass of wine, gave a speech, and left in a hurry.
.
As an expert in jade identification, Zhuang Rui looks a bit tender, but seeing how skillful the other experts are with him, the people receiving him here do not dare to neglect Zhuang Rui.
After eating, the people from the TV station gathered together to discuss some specific details of the event, while Zhuang Rui and other experts went to the rooms arranged by the hotel to rest.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Zhuang Rui was called up, met with Fatty Jin and others, and took the elevator to the large conference room on the first floor of the hotel where the folk treasure appraisal was held.
At this time, there was already a long queue in the corridors inside and outside the conference room. Many people were holding or carrying various antiques in their hands, waiting for the experts to enter.
