Li Yang walked over and bowed slightly. He truly admired the old man in front of him.
"Here you go, sit down!" Mr. He nodded and smiled, pointing to the sofa behind Li Yang and asking him to sit down and talk.
"I originally wanted to come back tomorrow morning, but when I arrived, you had already sent someone to pick me up!"
Li Yang looked at the time, smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was now past eight o'clock in the evening. It has been dark for a long time in Beijing. Mr. He has always been a person who likes to go to bed early and get up early. Li Yang understood that if Mr. He was not waiting for him, he would probably
By this time, he had already entered the bedroom.
"Now that you're in Beijing, it's time to come home. Home is better than a hotel. I don't blame you this is your first time here. I won't punish you if you don't come to my place secretly next time.
!”
Mr. He shook his head and smiled. Li Yang was stunned again and again, and then nodded. Li Yang knew very well that what Mr. He said was quite harsh, but in fact he was doing it for his own good. He did not regard himself as a real junior. How could he say such a thing?
.
"Yes, I remember!" Li Yang nodded hurriedly, feeling very touched.
"Actually, I am anxious to ask you to come this time mainly because of one thing!"
After a short moment of silence, Mr. He said slowly and waved back. After a while, someone brought two boxes and placed them on the sofa in front of Li Yang. How did this person appear?
Yang doesn’t even know.
"Take a look at these two things first!"
Mr. He motioned to Li Yang to open the box. When Li Yang opened the two boxes, he was immediately stunned. The two boxes were filled with jade. Judging from the style, they were both ancient jade, very exquisite ancient jade.
This was not the reason that Li Yang was most surprised. One of the two pieces of ancient jade was actually something Li Yang had seen before, which was the high imitation Zigang Jade and Horse that he had exposed in Nanyang.
"Mr. He, why is this thing here with you?"
Li Yang remembers this jade horse very clearly. It was Shen Hao who took it out in his capacity as the representative of the Zhengzhou Jade Association. I heard that Shen Hao bought it from abroad at a large price. Now Shen Hao's things appear here in He Lao's house.
Li Yang was a little confused.
"I found someone to buy it back from the original owner!" Mr. He shook his head and said, "That's not the key. Look at the other piece!"
"Bought?"
Li Yang was a little confused, but then he was immediately relieved. Mr. He had a lot of high-quality imitations in his home, which were specially used to warn others. Perhaps Mr. He had such a purpose in taking back this piece of Zhou imitation Zigang jade.
Li Yang carefully looked at another piece of ancient jade, which was also a small jade carving, carving a unicorn auspicious beast. Such ancient jade generally contains the meaning of wealth and auspiciousness.
The unicorn is very beautifully carved and the knife lines are smooth. Especially the unicorn's eyes are as real and lifelike.
In addition, the material of this ancient jade is also high-quality white jade, and this ancient jade is consistent with the characteristics of Zigang jade in all aspects. Li Yang's heart moved slightly, and he quickly activated his special ability to cover this ancient jade.
Sure enough, this is really a piece of Zhou imitation Zigang jade, but this time the Zhou imitation secret mark is not in Qilin's mouth, but under the scales on the waist, the secret mark is carved very small, and I am afraid it will take a magnifying glass to find it.
"He Lao, is this also a piece of Zhou imitation Zigang jade?"
After a while, Li Yang asked softly. He was asking, but he was already sure in his heart that this was Zhou Fangzi Gangyu, and he also knew that Mr. He must know, so he took it out for him to see.
Mr. He nodded happily and said: "Yes, this was discovered in an auction company in Beijing not long ago, and was later sent to me. In addition to this piece, a piece of Zhou imitation Zigang jade was also found in Shanghai.
So far, three pieces of Zhou imitation Zigang jade have been discovered, and I don’t know how many others have not yet been discovered!”
At the end, Mr. He sighed again. He did not ask Li Yang how he could tell that this was Zhou Fang. Since Li Yang could see the first piece, he would be able to see the second piece. In fact, for Li Yang
He was very satisfied to find out so quickly that it was Zhou Fanghe.
"You asked me to come here because you want me to see how many weeks of imitating Oangama there are?"
After a moment of silence, Li Yang asked slowly. After Mr. He took out these two pieces of Zhou imitation Zigang jade, Li Yang almost understood what Mr. He meant.
"You guessed it right. I want you to check how many Zhou imitations exist in China first. I heard that you are planning to open an auction company. If you do this well, it will also be beneficial to your future company!
"
Mr. He nodded and said: "Now all the major auction companies are forced to postpone the auctions of various ancient jades because of the emergence of Zhou Fangzi Gang Jade, and the losses are huge. But this is not what I like. Ancient cultural exchanges are needed
Only through mobility can we have good communication. Now everyone is frightened by Zhou Fang and is afraid to buy even if they want to buy. This is the most painful thing and the last thing you want to see!"
Mr. He shook his head again and said: "Many people are spreading rumors that Zhou Ye not only imitated Zigang jade but also imitated various other ancient jade, and even imitated Hongshan ancient jade. This has made people panic.
Under this kind of rumor, I’m afraid that in the future, people will be afraid to buy not only ancient jade, but also other things!”
Li Yang nodded silently. It wouldn't be terrible if Zhou Ye could only imitate Zigang Jade. The number of Zigang Jade is small after all, but with Zhou Ye's level of imitation Zigang Jade, who can guarantee that he can't imitate other ancient jade?
Come on, even if Zhou Ye didn't imitate it, people wouldn't dare to buy it because they were worried.
Now it's just Zhou Ye's imitation. If in the future there is a great imitation in the calligraphy and painting world, and another horse imitation in the ancient porcelain world, then there will be no need to talk about exchanges of valuable antiques in the future.
Although the matter is not as serious as imagined, people's panic is real. It has just begun to show signs, and we must find a way to extinguish these signs.
At this time, Li Yang finally understood why Mr. He was worried that he was going astray in the first place. Zhou Ye alone caused a commotion in the city. If Li Fang was to be added, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
"Mr. He, I understand what you mean. I will check out these big auction companies. If I find any imitations, I will point them out!"
Li Yang raised his head and glanced at Mr. He. Mr. He was a true antique lover and had indeed been making contributions to China's ancient culture. Li Yang had always admired this.
"It's not necessary to point it out. Just tell the people in charge to let them understand. If there are too many imitations, it will also cause chaos!"
Mr. He waved his hand, Li Yang was still too young, it would be better if there were less Zhou Fang, but if there were more, he would offend someone by pointing out Zhou Fang, which would not be good for his future development.
"I understand, I will do what you want!" Li Yang smiled bitterly and nodded, this is a hard job.
"I know how hard this job is. It's a pity that there are no more than ten people in the world who can see Zhou Fang. Although you are young, you are the one who discovered Zhou Fang for the first time. There is no suitable candidate for this task.
I can only leave it to you, but don’t worry, this job is not for nothing!”
Mr. He looked at Li Yang's bitter face with a smile, took out a small notebook from his body, and placed it in front of Li Yang.
"This is?"
Li Yang looked at this exquisite little book in surprise. Li Yang was very familiar with this kind of small book. Many company ID books were like this.
"Open it and take a look!" Mr. He said with a smile.
Li Yang slowly opened the small book. The first thing that appeared in front of him was a photo. The person in this photo was so familiar to Li Yang. How could he not be familiar with it after seeing it for more than 20 years? That was him.
This is really a certificate book. The issuing unit is the Palace Museum, and his position is an ancient jade expert. Li Yang looked at this small book and was a little confused. When did he become an ancient jade expert, or an ancient jade expert from the Palace Museum.
"When you go out to investigate, you must have a decent identity that can be seen by others. I found an old friend to do this for you!"
Mr. He noticed Li Yang's confusion and explained with a smile.
"But, my level is limited. Isn't the title of expert too big?" Li Yang asked He Lao carefully. Some people have secretly called Li Yang ancient jade expert, but after all, they are a minority. This
Once the book is released, he will be a legitimate expert on ancient jade. Who dares to question the level of the Palace Museum?
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this. Don't you know how powerful you are yet? Let me tell you, my old friend didn't agree at first, but as soon as he heard it was you, he immediately took action. Now you are absolutely
You have this qualification!”
Mr. He laughed loudly, and Li Yang lowered his head in embarrassment. In fact, Li Yang did underestimate his current reputation. Not many ordinary people know about Li Yang, but those who play with antiques, especially antique jade,
Experts, there are really no people who don’t know Li Yang right now.
"Then I'll put it away!"
Li Yang slowly put away the small notebook in front of him. Li Yang was also very happy in his heart. This was an expert from the Palace Museum. He was much better than an ordinary member of the Jade Association. He was a member of the China Treasure Association.
I didn't dare to say anything even if I had this certificate.
"Don't underestimate this little book. With it, as long as it is not a special area that requires reporting, you can enter and leave the Palace Museum at will in the future!"
He Lao smiled and said, Li Yang was suddenly stunned, and then showed a burst of ecstasy. This was really a huge benefit to him.
"I understand, thank you Mr. He!"
Li Yang hurriedly thanked him. Being able to freely enter and exit the National Palace Museum to observe the national treasure collection up close will definitely greatly improve Li Yang's professional level in antiques. It is a real level.
"You can stay here for the next few days in Beijing. You can take a day off tomorrow and let Liu Gang take you around Beijing. The people from the auction company will come to you the day after tomorrow. Then you can take all their
All the ancient jades need to be appraised once!”
Mr. He smiled and shook his head. Li Yang was like a child at this moment, but it was at this moment that Li Yang seemed the most real. This was also Mr. He's favorite Li Yang.
Mr. He arranged a separate guest room for Li Yang. Li Yang didn't fall asleep until very late on the first night in Beijing. Almost instantly, he became an expert, and he was also an expert at the Palace Museum. I'm afraid anyone would encounter this
It's not easy to adapt to such changes quickly.
He went to bed late, but Li Yang got up very early. He got up early the next morning and took Liu Gang out. Mr. He also specially prepared a separate car for Li Yang.
This car is the black car that picked up Li Yang yesterday. I didn't see it clearly last night, but today I finally saw it clearly. It was actually an old-fashioned Hongqi.
Mr. He not only gave Li Yang a special car, but also provided a driver. Unfortunately, the driver didn't speak much. He only obeyed Li Yang's orders and drove wherever Li Yang went.
"Let's go to Liulichang first. I've heard about that place for a long time, but I've never had the chance to go see it!"
After talking to the driver for a while, it was very boring. Li Yang directly told him where to go. While talking, the car drove out of the gate of the community. Li Yang was surprised to find that the guard standing at the door was actually a man in military uniform.
But when I think of He Lao's identity as Li Yang, it's not surprising. I feel a little excited that I can stay in such a place for one night.
After listening to Li Yang's words, the driver said nothing and drove directly out. No one stopped their car as they drove out.
Liulichang is located outside Hepingmen in Beijing. The old Beijing city was also called the Four-Nine City. There were twenty city gates inside and outside, and Hepingmen was one of them. In the era of old Beijing city, this was actually a suburb of Beijing.
It was not until Jiajing expanded the city of Beijing that it became a real urban area.
Before the expansion of Jiajing, Liulichang was just a kiln for firing colored glaze. After the expansion, the firing of colored glaze was not located in the city, but was moved to Mentougou District, but the name Liulichang has been passed down.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, this place became the place where Sikuquanshu was compiled because it was relatively quiet. Later, many literati or students who came to Beijing to take exams liked to go here. Over time, a cultural street focusing on culture was formed here.
After coming here, many antique calligraphy and painting store businesses sprang up here. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, this place had become the most famous antique street in Beijing. Especially after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many of the antiques that had been sold out of the palace were
Sold here, it became famous throughout the country.
In modern times, this place has become a resort for antiques. Anyone who really likes collecting and antiques will know this place.
In Liulichang, there are still many old shops that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
Li Yang took Liu Gang into Liulichang, while the driver stayed in the car. Li Yang asked him to come down and play together but refused. After trying for a while to no avail, Li Yang had no choice but to bring Liu Gang in, secretly planning
When you get back, you must tell Mr. He that you can just keep the car and drive it, and the driver won't want it.
Although Li Yang has never been to Liulichang, he has often heard people talk about this place. The origins and common knowledge of Liulichang just now were introduced to Liu Gang by Li Yang. Unfortunately, his introduction was useless, whether it was Liulichang or a glass factory.
, it makes no difference to Liu Gang.
"Let's go inside and take a look first!"
Li Yang was quite excited. He rubbed his palms and looked at each store. There must be fakes in Liulichang, but there are also many genuine ones. Li Yang's current collection can be said to be extremely rare, so he took this opportunity to bring it with him.
