"Boss Gao, actually, the biggest reason why this tea set is wrong for me is because of its shape. If you don't study it, you don't know very well. Things from any period or place have their own unique cultural characteristics!"
Li Yang shook his head slightly. Li Yang had never used any special abilities in this tea set from beginning to end. It was purely a matter of seeing with his eyesight.
"Cultural characteristics? Boss, what other cultural characteristics does this teapot have?"
Chen Lei took the jade pot in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while. Apart from the fact that the decoration on it was pretty good, he didn't feel anything else.
"Of course, everything has its own culture. The most obvious one is the decoration of jade. If it is not decorated, it will not be beautiful. The same is true for Tracestan jade. The biggest problem with this set of jade is actually the decoration!"
Li Yang shook his head gently. When he said this, everyone turned their eyes to the jade pot. Chen Lei, who was holding the jade pot, hurriedly placed the jade pot in the middle for everyone to watch.
"Li Yang, these chrysanthemums and orchids are beautifully carved and have cultural characteristics?"
Wang Jiajia raised her head first. She majored in journalism and had also taught herself some art. The carvings on her jade pot were indeed very exquisite, at least much better than those deceptive things on the street stalls.
Li Yang smiled, shook his head, and said softly: "The carvings are very beautiful, but the problem lies precisely in the carved chrysanthemums and orchids. Boss Gao, you are treating this thing as a trace from the Western Regions." Did you collect the jade?"
Boss Gao immediately nodded: "Yes, the shape of the spout of this pot is slightly different from that of our Central Plains. I checked a lot of information and found that this shape of jade pot was the most commonly used shape in the Western Regions at that time!"
"Jiajia, you majored in journalism, do you know anything about the customs and customs around the world?"
"I have a certain understanding, but not too much!" Wang Jiajia nodded lightly and glanced at Li Yang doubtfully.
"Okay, let me ask the most basic question, Jiajia, are chrysanthemums and orchids produced in the Western Regions?"
Li Yang smiled softly. As soon as he asked this question, everyone was stunned. Many people really didn't know whether the Western Region produced chrysanthemums and orchids.
"Probably not. Orchids are also called Chinese orchids, and their main origin is in China. Chrysanthemums have never been heard of in Middle Eastern countries!"
Wang Jiajia smiled bitterly. She did know a little bit about this. Orchids and chrysanthemums may now appear in Kashmir where ancient Hundustan is located, but they definitely did not exist in ancient times. At that time, no one would run around with such flowers. , even if you get a place, you can’t live on it.
"That's it. Since there are no such things in the Western Regions, how can there be jade articles with sentences and orchids? And they are so beautifully carved!"
Li Yang smiled and said, this is the biggest flaw in this tea set. It is precisely because of this that Li Yang discovered something wrong without using any special abilities. The carving is good, the jade quality is good, and the shape is very similar. , but there are loopholes in the most basic regional cultural issues, but many people still cannot see this loophole.
Chen Lei asked again: "Boss, is it possible that people there have seen chrysanthemums and orchids, or has the craftsman who made this pot come to China?"
"No, the biggest feature of Hendustan jade is its regional nature. Because these jade are all practical items, they are mainly made for comfort and practicality. People in the Western Regions will not use our flowers and plants for decoration. Generally speaking,
, the decorative patterns of Hendustan jade from the Western Regions are mainly based on acanthus, sweet potato and lotus!"
Li Yang shook his head and continued: "These things are unfamiliar to us. In fact, 'Kudzu' is kudzu, commonly known as 'tiger's claw grass'. This plant is very common in the Western Regions and has become their most popular plant."
Favorite decoration!"
Just as Chen Lei was about to speak, Li Yang waved his hand to him again and said, "I know what you want to say. This cannot be a domestic imitation of Xifan, because Xifan is a combination of Chinese and Western, with a strong sense of the Central Plains.
Features, there will never be a teapot with this shape!”
"Xiao Lei, you don't need to talk anymore. Mr. Li is right. This is the most basic cultural characteristic. It's because I don't know enough. I only want to accept it after seeing the quality and appearance of the jade!"
Boss Gao suddenly sighed. He understood what Li Yang said. Very few people usually pay attention to this basic thing, but once it comes out, everyone will understand it. Just like the paper that is blocked from the eyes, as soon as the paper is taken out
If you drop it, it will be clear at a glance.
This loophole can be said to be fatal. Boss Gao does not understand antiques, but he understands jade and the meaning of carvings and patterns. When Li Yang said this, he no longer had any illusions.
To blame, I can only blame myself for not being so careful at the beginning and not discovering such a big loophole.
"Is this really a fake?"
Niu Ling's eyes widened. Even her uncle had said so. Now everyone knew whether this thing was true or false.
"It can't be said to be a fake, it can only be said to be an imitation. This is indeed made of very good blue and white jade, and the carving is also very exquisite. Even if it is sold as a work of art, it would be worth at least 200,000 yuan.
!”
Li Yang shook his head gently. It's hard to say whether jade is authentic or fake. As long as it's not a complete fake, such as a fake imitation of stone, it can't be called a fake. Even if it's inferior jade, it's still made of real jade.
However, this tea set is definitely not a genuine Tracestan jade.
"It's still worth two hundred thousand, so it seems like it's not that bad!"
Chen Lei also nodded. He originally thought that this thing would be worthless once it was fake. He didn't expect it to be worth so much, two hundred thousand. According to his previous income, he might not have saved it in twenty years.
down.
"Mr. Li, you are right!"
Boss Gao sighed again. It was true that it was worth 200,000 yuan, but when he received it six years ago, he spent 800,000 yuan on it. Six years later, it was only a quarter of the original value.
It can be said that he suffered a big loss.
"Boss Gao, you shouldn't care so much about your favorite things. What this jade set lacks is just history and time. In terms of jade quality and carving work, this is also a very good thin-body blue and white jade tea set. Don't you think so?
What you love is not the set of things, but the time they lasted?"
Li Yang's words made Boss Gao suddenly startled and stayed there for several minutes.
Li Yang is right. This set of jade is indeed very good. It can be said to be a masterpiece of blue and white jade. Although I checked it when I bought it and bought it as a piece of Hendustan jade, it is indeed a piece of jade.
A very nice jade tea set.
If it weren't for good jade, it wouldn't be able to deceive him, an expert in jade.
Since it is a good thing, why does he care so much? After all, this is a treasure he has loved for several years.
"Mr. Li, thank you for reminding me. I am indeed a little obsessed, please!"
After Boss Gao figured it out, he immediately stopped caring about the value and poured another cup of tea for everyone, drinking it himself first.
Li Yang also picked up the tea cup. After talking for so long, he was really thirsty.
"Tea is good, jade is better. People can nourish jade, and jade can also nourish people. Boss Gao, if you can still love this set of jade as much as before, it will definitely be a very good treasure in the future!"
After drinking tea, Li Yang sighed again. There was a lot of knowledge in jade. This set of Tracestan jade actually taught him a lot of new things. This kind of jade that imitates ancient foreign countries was something Li Yang only had before.
Theory, but never actually seen it.
While drinking tea, Li Yang quietly activated his special ability. The faint halo of light on the pot told Li Yang that he had not guessed wrong this time.
Originally he wanted to sit there for an hour and then leave, but thanks to Boss Gao's kindness, Li Yang stayed until five or six in the afternoon and visited some of the jades collected by Boss Gao.
These jades are very good, most of them are modern works of art. The most valuable of them is a suet jade bottle. The bottle is small and can be completely held with one hand, but the value of this jade bottle is not low.
Nowadays, the price of mutton-fat jade is almost one per day, which is much more expensive than before.
Li Yang finally refused Boss Gao's request to stay for dinner and left with Chen Lei and the others. Boss Gao also kept his promise and handed over the keys to the Mercedes-Benz and the driving license to Chen Lei. Chen Lei, who got the new car, said
I almost laughed out loud.
When leaving, Li Yang also invited Boss Gao to attend the auction of their auction company to see if there was anything he liked. People like Boss Gao can definitely be said to be high-quality customers.
Boss Gao happily accepted Li Yang's invitation and said he would attend the preview, auction and opening ceremony.
Being able to get to know Li Yang today is actually a gain for Boss Gao. In their eyes, Li Yang is no longer the bright and lucky director before, but the top jade sage of the national civilization. Anyone who does
Everyone in the jade business would not want to get to know Li Yang.
"Boss, thank you!"
After leaving the villa complex, Chen Lei turned around and said to Li Yang stupidly, he was indeed very happy today.
Although there was some problem with the jade in the middle, it did not affect their emotions. What's more, Boss Gao himself had figured out that what he loved was jade, not the history of jade, and he would treat that set of jade as the most important thing in the future.
Good treasures to treasure.
Li Yang smiled: "My brother, why are you talking about this? Boss Gao is a very nice person. I didn't come here in vain today, but you have to treat me today!"
"Of course it's okay to treat us. I'll call Xiao Can and Liu Jun over later. Let's continue to have fun in the evening. But boss, you have to give us a break when you drink tonight. I'm really impressed by your drinking capacity. I really don't know how you are.
How did it take several years of practice!"
Chen Lei immediately laughed loudly. He didn't need Li Yang to tell him that he would treat guests today. He just got a good car, and he just wanted to show it off in front of Li Can. In terms of brand and quality, his Mercedes-Benz is better than Li Can's.
Second-hand Fukang is much better.
"Are you okay tonight? How about we come together?"
Li Yang whispered something to Wang Jiajia who was beside him. Wang Jiajia chuckled and nodded, looking at Li Yang with a strange look in her eyes.
