When Li Dali said these words, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, which made Zhuang Rui look a little strange.
"Mr. Li, what's the matter? It's rare that you know this person named Xu?"
In Zhuang Rui's mind, although Xu opened a ceramics factory, he might not be able to produce Tang Sancai with such high craftsmanship.
You must know that although these things are modern imitations, in terms of craftsmanship and artistic value, they are not much worse than the level of the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, or even worse. A small businessman
Boss, you probably don’t have such artistic attainments.
"Mr. Zhuang, this...I don't know this person named Xu, but, but..."
Li Dali stuttered as if he had something to hide.
"Huh? Mr. Li, please just say it straight away..."
Zhuang Rui frowned. The man surnamed Li didn't act as if he was here to set a trap for him. Why is he acting so unhappy now?
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Mr. Li seemed to grit his teeth and said fiercely: "Okay, this is considered a violation of the rules, but if that person really fooled me with fake things, we, Mr. Li, are not fools."
of……"
Li Dali paused for a moment and said: "Mr. Zhuang, these things were brought over by my friend, and this friend happened to know the owner of the ceramics factory named Xu. I heard this surname Xu from him before.
After what you said, this matter is really a bit suspicious..."
According to the rules of the black market, Li Dali cannot tell the supplier of the goods. If he breaks the rules, no one will dare to provide him with antiques in the future. If Zhuang Rui hadn't put a lot of pressure on him, Li Dali would have
I won't tell you about this.
"Haha, Mr. Li, I am 80% sure that these things are fake, but your friend may not be able to tell. So, can you make an appointment with your friend? Let's ask this person named Xu
Where are the people?”
According to what Li Dali said, the suspiciousness of the owner of the ceramics factory immediately skyrocketed. The things he had seen before were all single pieces, and it was impossible to find their origins. But this time, dozens of things suddenly appeared.
It becomes relatively simple.
To be honest, Zhuang Rui has been very curious about this man's work since he saw it on the grassland black market. Later, he saw another one at the folk treasure appraisal meeting, which made him feel itchy.
, now that he has some clues, Zhuang Rui wants to see who this person is.
"Mr. Zhuang, as the saying goes, catch a thief and take the stolen goods. If this thing is fake, we should give an explanation. Otherwise, the rules will be broken..."
Li Dali had more things to think about. He and his friend had known each other for seven or eight years. They had provided him with a lot of ceramics for auction in the past. If they fell out over this matter now, it would be difficult to meet him in the future.
"Catch a thief and take the stolen goods?"
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. This guy is really funny. What he did was already a bit shady, but he actually asked for evidence. He immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will let you see this stolen goods..."
Zhuang Rui took out his handbag, took out his checkbook, wrote out a check for five hundred thousand, and placed it in front of Li Dali.
"Mr. Zhuang, you...what...what do you mean?" Mr. Li was a little confused.
"Haha, Mr. Li, your previous quotation for these items was 500,000 yuan each. I want to break one of them. If you can't find the word "Xu" in it, I will compensate you for the money...
If there is this word in it, I hope you can arrange for me to meet this friend named Xu..."
If Zhuang Rui wanted to point out the fraud in these Tang Sancai works, he really didn't have the ability to do so. After much deliberation, he could only use this method.
"this……"
Mr. Li hesitated for a moment. Zhuang Rui said it with confidence, which made him a little suspicious. If it was really fake, would Zhuang Rui suspect that he had set a trap for him?
"Just leave it like that, Mr. Li, I know, this matter has nothing to do with you..."
Zhuang Rui waved his hand, stood up, and took the Tang Sancai Horse in his hand. The reason why he chose the Tang Sancai Horse was because the set of eight lady figurines were so exquisitely made that Zhuang Rui was reluctant to break them.
.
Seeing that Zhuang Rui was really preparing to throw the porcelain, Huangfu Yun was also a little excited. He was more or less in the antique circle, and he had never seen someone authenticate it like this. He was busy helping Zhuang Rui lift the carpet on the ground.
A piece, revealing the marble floor underneath.
"Snapped!"
Zhuang Rui didn't hesitate at all, and directly let something fall from the height of the tri-colored horse in his hand. The entire tri-colored horse immediately became torn into pieces.
"No, Mr. Li, please take a look..."
Zhuang Rui went straight to the horse's feet. He was not afraid of suspicion from the few people present. As he said just now, this kind of situation has happened before.
"This... this is true, Mr. Zhuang, please wait a moment, I will call you right now..."
Seeing the blue simplified Chinese character "Xu" on the porcelain, he could tell whether it was genuine or not. Li Dali immediately stood up, took out his mobile phone, walked out of the room and made a call.
"Hey, Mr. Zhuang, you are really amazing!"
Huangfu Yun couldn't help but give Zhuang Rui a thumbs up. This was the most unique physical identification method he had ever seen in his entire life.
Zhuang Rui laughed and said: "Brother Huangfu, there is no perfect thing in this world. Even the real Tang Sancai has flaws. I am a heavy gambler. Fortunately, I won the bet!"
"Khan, to put it bluntly, you have money. If you have money, you will have confidence. No one else would dare to fall like this. It's half a million yuan..." Huangfu Yun saw Zhuang Rui's proud look and couldn't help but hit him with words.
Hit him.
While the two were chatting and laughing, Mr. Li opened the door and walked in, saying: "Mr. Zhuang, let's talk about it. It's my friend who is wrong. He just admitted that these things are fakes and are indeed from that surname."
Xu’s hand, but regarding the conditions you proposed, my friend needs to seek the other party’s opinion first…”
Li Dali was a little embarrassed. In fact, he was also exposed in this matter. Even he didn't know that this batch of goods was fake before. He just used words to force the man to admit it.
"Sure, but I'll be busy in the next few days, and I'm only free on Sundays. If the other party agrees to meet, it'd be best to make an appointment on the weekend..."
Zhuang Rui nodded in agreement. He will go to Beijing University to report tomorrow. Although graduate school is more popular, Zhuang Rui wants to relive his university life. He still wants to take some open classes.
"By the way, I want to buy this set of eight figurines. One piece costs 100,000 yuan, and eight pieces cost 800,000 yuan. What do you think, Mr. Li?"
In terms of the firing process of this set of three-color figurines, it takes at least half a month to make one. Although it is not a real three-color painting from the Tang Dynasty, its craftsmanship and materials are all top-notch. Zhuang Rui gave 10
The price of RMB 10,000 is quite reliable.
"100,000 a piece? Oh, Mr. Zhuang, this...how can this be so embarrassing? Let's do this. If you really like these things, treat them as gifts from me to make amends to you..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Li Dali opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff an egg into it. He was now convinced of Zhuang Rui, because he just learned on the phone that these items were worth 100,000 each.
It was obtained from Xu's people.
The man wanted to make a profit from it, so he approached Li Dali and offered a price of 500,000 yuan per piece. Of course, the price he offered Li Dali was 300,000 yuan per piece, and the remaining 200,000 yuan was
It's used as a black market commission.
After Li Dali found out just now, that guy was also a bachelor, so he said directly, if you want to continue selling, one hundred thousand pieces, just give him the money, and he will get his capital back.
But what Li Dali didn't expect was that not only could Zhuang Rui see that the thing was fake, he could even estimate the purchase price of it.
In the past, Li Dali was in awe because of Zhuang Rui's background, but now, it was Zhuang Rui's knowledge that inspired him.
"Yes, Mr. Li, I don't want it for free. Let's do this. I've taken out the five hundred thousand and I'm not going to put it back, so just five hundred thousand..."
Zhuang Rui stood up, thrust the check into Li Dali's hand, and said: "Mr. Li, don't refuse anymore, you can help me more and let me meet this contemporary master of handicrafts..."
"Sure, Mr. Zhuang is a cheerful person, so I, Old Li, will accept it. I will definitely accomplish this for you. Just listen..."
Li Dali also knew that Zhuang Rui was not short of the money, so he immediately collected the check, closed the suitcase himself, and handed it to Zhuang Rui.
"Okay, let's go have a meal together..."
Everyone who came was a guest, and Zhuang Rui had a good impression of Li Dali. Besides, don't come all the way from Hebei. It was still right for him to fulfill his duty as a landlord.
Naturally, Mr. Li wanted to get closer to Zhuang Rui, and the group walked out of Building 1 chatting and laughing.
"Yeah... Yeah..."
Little Jinyu had been playing outside for a long time, but could not find Zhuang Rui. Then he saw Zhuang Rui coming out of the house, chirping excitedly, and grabbed Zhuang Rui's shoulder.
"Hey, I told you to be gentle, kid, you've caught some meat..."
Zhuang Rui shrank his shoulders in pain and frowned. The little golden eagle's claws were getting longer and sharper. Even if it was equipped with toe caps, the effect was not very good.
Li Dali, who was walking behind, couldn't help but froze for a moment when he saw this scene. Then he seemed to think of something, walked two steps faster, rushed to Zhuang Rui, and said: "Mr. Zhuang, this hawk has the equipment to play hawk."
Yes, you don’t want to do something else?”
Zhuang Rui was a little depressed and replied: "Hey, I would like to find them, but those old things have long been gone..."
"Hey, Mr. Zhuang, I received some good hawk-brewing tools a few years ago. They said they were passed down from the palace back then. I can't sell them even if I keep them. Why don't I have someone send them to you? Take a look.
?”
Li Dali really had this thing in hand. As he said, it had been auctioned on the black market several times, but no one was interested in it.
