Six hundred and ninetieth chapters only in and out
Chapter 692: Only in but not out
***What are you playing for? What you are playing for is culture!
Why recorded antiques are valuable is because they are passed down in an orderly manner and have appeared in history. They have their own unique stories and backgrounds and can be studied, verified and inferred.
Thinking about the object in your hand, maybe it was once used by that famous person in history. That feeling will definitely make you feel elated. Of course, outsiders cannot understand it.
The same two objects, used by Emperor Qianlong, must be more valuable than those used by ordinary people.
I once told a story about a young man who went to an antique store to apply for a job. He took a broken piece of wood and said it was Emperor Qianlong’s toothpick, and was immediately accepted by the owner of the antique store. Although this was a joke, it also illustrates the inheritance from the side.
importance.
Although there is no record of the fish and dragon in Zhuang Rui's hand, if it is really an ancient jade from the Yin and Shang Dynasty that transformed fish and dragon into a jade, then its value may not be hundreds of thousands.
Problem.
While everyone was still digesting what Zhuang Rui had just said, Zhuang Rui continued: "Everyone knows that during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was no such thing as a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, but these two objects prove that in that era
, is also an allusion of a fish turning into a dragon, and has a beautiful meaning of ascending to the sky in one step and rising high.
In my personal opinion, these things are closely related to the history and culture of that time. As you can see, the shape of this dragon-shaped jade is very close to the dragon character in the oracle bone inscriptions.
Therefore, I conclude that these two pieces of fish-dragon jade are from the culture of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. To be more precise, they should be a relatively typical cultural representative of the late Shang Dynasty.
The unearthing of these two pieces of jade can also make some supplements to the cultural relics unearthed from the Yin and Shang culture. The cultural value is very high..."
In Zhuang Rui's eyes, although these two pieces of jade have not been polished, the rich purple-gold aura inside them is similar to the "Dingguang Sword", and they should be of the same age.
And indeed, as Zhuang Rui said, the value of these two pieces of jade is not in themselves, but in the cultural background contained in the two pieces of jade. This is why Zhuang Rui values these two pieces of jade.
When the number of ancient jades increases in the future, these two pieces of jade will definitely become the treasures of the jade collection hall together with the "White Jade Tiger" from the Western Han Dynasty.
"I have gained a lot of experience. I really have gained a lot of experience today..."
"That's right, being able to tell so much knowledge from a piece of jade makes Teacher Zhuang worthy of being an expert who has been on CCTV..."
"This is also good luck. Damn it, why don't I have such luck..."
"Just you? You were the one who made the loudest noise just now, right?"
"Lao Qi, how are you? Are you convinced?"
"Teacher Zhuang, tell me, how much are these two pieces of jade worth?"
There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and finally someone asked loudly about Zhuang Rui's price. Most of the people present were jade sellers, and there were also some old customers who came to Taobao. Their ears suddenly opened up and they wanted to hear it.
Zhuang Rui's quote.
Although the value of an object cannot be completely measured by money, money is always the most direct reflection of the value of an object.
If these two pieces of fish-dragon jade are only worth ten or eight yuan, then let alone ancient jade from the Yin Shang Dynasty, even if they were worn by the Yellow Emperor, no one would take a second look. This is market theory.
"Haha, we are all in the industry. If we were to price this thing purely based on its jade quality and age, it should be around 200,000 yuan. It might be a little higher if it goes up for auction.
But everyone knows that antiques are like vegetables and everyone has their own preferences. When you meet someone you like, it is possible to offer a higher price..."
"Wow, so high?"
"You know nothing, Teacher Zhuang is speaking in a low tone..."
"Yeah, if this goes to auction, you don't even think about it if you don't have millions..."
"Lao Li suffered a big loss this time, and gave away the treasure he got..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's quotation, everyone started talking about it. Some people who were just here for tourism exclaimed, and then they were shocked by some experts. Perhaps Zhuang Rui's words gave birth to a lot of people.
A person who is involved in the antique business.
As for the original owner of these two objects, Lao Li, his face was ashen at the moment. He never imagined that there were only seventy or eighty items in total. He had cleaned forty or fifty yuan, so why didn't he see these two items?
The price that Zhuang Rui said was like a heavy hammer hitting Lao Li's chest. Lao Li couldn't breathe properly because he was holding back his breath. He just wanted to vent his anger by yelling loudly.
In fact, Zhuang Rui is quite kind. In order not to offend Lao Li too much, he has lowered the price of these two pieces of jade. Even if these two pieces of jade are sold individually, each piece will cost more than 1 million yuan, and
These two jade dragons come in pairs, so their prices will double.
At last year's Hanhai *** auction, a fish-dragon jade pendant from the Warring States Period was not as good as these two. In the end, it fetched a high price of 1.3 million yuan, not to mention the two pieces from Zhuang Rui.
Ancient jade has its own unique historical and cultural background.
"Teacher Zhuang, do you want to sell these two pieces of jade?"
"Yes, Teacher Zhuang, if you are willing to sell it, I will pay you 300,000 yuan per piece..."
"Old Wang, are you thinking of taking advantage again? Three hundred thousand, I want as much as you have..."
"Teacher Zhuang, I will offer 1 million, give me one piece..."
"Teacher Zhuang, how about 3.5 million for two pieces? Give it to me?"
Although the owners of these stalls are not very impressive, there are many wealthy people among them. As soon as they spoke, they raised the price to 3.5 million. This price was no less than the price at the auction. Of course, the situation in the auction room was changing.
, maybe the price will be higher.
However, as soon as the price of 3.5 million was announced, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the bidder and Zhuang Rui.
"Boss Zhuang, my surname is Qiao. My ancestors have always liked ancient jade. I want to buy it for an old man. Can you give it up?"
The man who spoke was in his thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes even on a hot day. His conversation was very polite, and he seemed to be a person of some status.
Zhuang Rui smiled when he heard this, and carefully handed the two pieces of jade to Peng Fei, asking him to put them away, and then said: "Mr. Qiao, friends, I'm really sorry. I won't sell these two things. Recently, I'm sorry."
My younger brother is planning to open an antique museum in *** to promote Chinese culture, so that friends in the industry and those who like antiques can visit and exchange ideas.
Now I am the Pixiu who can only go in and out. I am in urgent need of these items. If you have something on hand that you no longer want to play with, you can talk to me and exchange ideas with me..."
Zhuang Rui's words caused a burst of laughter. Those who were originally disdainful of Zhuang Rui because of his age also corrected their mentality. When they looked at Zhuang Rui again, their eyes were different.
There are also some well-known collectors in this antique city, but compared with Zhuang Rui, they are far behind. To be able to open a private museum, one must not only have strong financial resources, but also have a huge network in the antiques industry.
People and relationships.
It can be said that although they are both from the pornographic world, these people in the field are no longer on the same level as Zhuang Rui.
"Teacher Zhuang, I have a jade brave at home. Are you interested?"
"Teacher Zhuang, I have Huang Tingjian's paintings passed down from my family. Can you help me take a look at them?"
"Hey, Teacher Zhuang, this is an object I collected some time ago. Please date it..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, everyone started making noises. Some asked Zhuang Rui to help appraise the treasures, and some wanted to sell the items. For a time, the entire first floor of the antique city became like a vegetable market, and even the second floor was like a vegetable market.
People on the third floor were also alarmed, and more and more people surrounded him.
Zhuang Rui was shocked when he saw such a situation. He originally just wanted to advertise his unopened museum, but he didn't expect that there was such an outpouring of emotion that even the tall security guards were a little calm.
I can't stand the scene anymore.
"Teacher Zhuang, I am Zhang Li, the manager of this antique city. I am glad that you can come here, but it is a bit messy here. Can we talk somewhere else?"
When Zhuang Rui was being made dizzy by the noise from those around him, a middle-aged man in his forties squeezed in next to him. Although there was plenty of air-conditioning in the antique city, the man's forehead was still covered with sweat. It seemed that he was also affected by this.
The scene was shocking.
"Okay, okay, let's talk somewhere else..."
Seeing that the people in front of him were losing control again, Zhuang Rui didn't care anymore about promoting his museum. Surrounded by several security guards, he walked towards the office.
It's just that there were too many people surrounded, and many of them sincerely wanted to ask Zhuang Rui to appraise the treasure and refused to give in, so after walking for several minutes, they couldn't break out of the crowd.
You know, asking an expert to appraise it will cost a lot of money. If you want to issue an appraisal certificate, the price will be even higher, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. Most people are reluctant to spend this money. Now there are
With a *** expert in front of him, no one is willing to give up this opportunity.
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze out, Manager Zhang Li simply climbed up to a counter and shouted loudly: "Everyone, young and old, we are all in the industry. What we are playing is culture, don't let Teacher Zhuang laugh.
, let’s do this, if any of you have something at home, go home and get it right now.
Teacher Zhuang is coming to our antique city as a guest. He will definitely not leave for a while. He will queue up later. Let’s invite Teacher Zhuang to do an on-site treasure appraisal. Do you think it’s okay?”
"Okay, I wonder if Teacher Zhuang is willing?"
"That's right? Manager Zhang, if Mr. Zhuang leaves, will you come and evaluate it?"
"That's right, let Teacher Zhuang tell me whether it's a hit or not. If it's a hit (in Henan dialect, it means OK or not, okay or not), I'll go home and get something..."
What Zhang Li didn't expect was that the tenant, whom he was familiar with, actually refused to sell his account at this moment. Manager Zhang's face, standing on the counter, turned red and white. He didn't know whether Zhuang Rui would agree.
Looking at Manager Zhang with a longing look on his face, Zhuang Rui felt a little helpless. He could still find something to do in the antique city, but seeing as he picked up a big deal today and there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Zhuang Rui ordered it.
He nodded and said: "Just do what Manager Zhang said, but don't have too many things. I will only look at one object per person. Friends, please bring some good-looking and elegant things..."
Zhuang Rui was afraid that people would not care about anything and brought all the ceramic jars at home. In that case, he would not be able to finish them all in an afternoon or even in a week.
There may not necessarily be fewer people playing gambling in the Zhengzhou area than in ***, because the surrounding cities have such a rich heritage. Kaifeng, Luoyang, has a longer history than *** City.
"Okay, everyone, give way. Teacher Zhuang agreed. Let Teacher Zhuang go and have a rest first..."
"Yes...yes, give in, give in quickly..."
Hearing Zhuang Rui agreed, the crowd burst into cheers. The crowd's demands were actually very easy to meet, and some people had already begun to take the initiative to maintain order.
The smarter person turned around and left. If he brought his things back earlier, he could show them to Zhuang Rui. Otherwise, if there were at least several hundred people in the room, how long would the queue last?
For a moment, people with cars drove, people without cars took taxis, whether they were stall owners or regular customers who came to hang out, they all rushed out of the Antique City like swarms. Those who didn’t know might have thought that the Antique City was being faked.
There's a bomb.
"Lao Li, do you want to sell the rest of your jade?"
There were still people in the antique city who had not escaped, but they focused on Lao Li, who had been dumbfounded in the same place. Among these uncleaned things were two pieces of ancient Yin Shang jade. If they were not kept intact, there might be some good stuff.
"Sell! It's the one next door to Mahler. This property doesn't belong to me, Lao Li, but the rest is 500 yuan each. Whoever wants it can take it..."
Lao Li was wondering at this moment, this was obviously a "landmine" fraud method, how could it come out with two real things? After thinking about it for a long time, Lao Li felt that it was because he was not upright and did not have money.
.
He sold the items in front of everyone, and Lao Li didn't have the face to regret it. He also took a gamble. All the hundreds of thousands of items were picked up by others, and he didn't care about the remaining thirty yuan.
, but the price has increased tenfold, from fifty to five hundred.
"Hey, Lao Li, you are so fucking evil, aren't you?"
"Yes, Lao Li, it's cheaper, one hundred yuan each, I'll buy a few for fun..."
Most of the people left behind at this moment were stall owners who had no one to take care of their stalls. After hearing what Lao Li said, they all laughed and cursed.
"500 each, do you want me to love you? I, Lao Li, don't have this kind of wealth, so I don't know which of you will win the big prize..." Lao Li refused to let go.
"Okay, give me one..."
"I want one too..."
"Lao Li, you're just a fucking Zhou Papi. I want four. Wait, I'll choose myself..."
Although everyone scolded loudly, they did not stop. In the blink of an eye, all of Lao Li's more than thirty "ancient jades" covered with mud were sold.
