Chapter 995: There are few real things, and there are few people who understand [First update]
The jade pendant's blood color is very positive, and it seems that it is the color brought out by wearing it close to the body.
The whole piece of jade pendant is not big, it is a complete jade pendant of chi dragon and chicken heart. The clear color is on the corner of the dragon body, which is very conspicuous.
This is still a piece of jade pendant that has been mined. Li Yang estimates that the jade pendant was unearthed at least a hundred years ago, but not much longer. It should be a jade pendant that was excavated in a tomb in the late Qing Dynasty and then scattered.
When such a jade pendant appeared among a bunch of imitations, Li Yang suddenly looked a little weird.
He suddenly remembered a story told by Mr. Mao.
About a few years ago, Mr. Mao was not that famous at that time. On a business trip, he took the opportunity to visit a famous local antique market. The antique market was actually very small, with many street stalls on one street. It is said that
The street stall market is still open on a regular basis. It is only open three times a month, on the 10th, 20th, and 30th.
It is famous because there is only one normal trading market in the antiques industry in several nearby counties.
To be precise, this is a very small market, but it is very popular and there are people everywhere. Mr. Mao happened to catch up with it once, so he went to gain some knowledge and see if he could find any treasures.
After going there, the result surprised Mr. Mao.
The market is also a street stall, consisting of many street stalls. There are many people, but there are no really knowledgeable people. The buyers don't understand and just join in the fun and pay the tuition.
It’s okay if the buyers don’t understand. Neither do the sellers there. I don’t know where they got so many fakes. It’s rare to see real old things in the entire market. Even if they do, they are all from small businesses in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
thing.
A market like this is still very popular among locals.
After seeing it, Mr. Mao was originally disappointed and wanted to leave directly. But then he thought, since he is here, he should take a good look. It would be okay to go back anyway.
If you can’t buy the real thing, it’s good to look at these fake ones and gain some knowledge.
This time, he was really right. He found a good thing in this market, and it was the only good thing in the whole market.
He was absolutely sure of this, because he had been in the market that day, looked at almost everything, and finally discovered that there was just one good thing.
What he encountered was a small blue and white bowl from the official kiln of the Wanli period. At that time, the small bowl was placed together with several other blue and white porcelains. There was still some dust on it, as if it had just been dug out of the ground. If not
He looked carefully and almost missed it.
Seeing this small bowl, he was so happy that he negotiated the price with the stall owner. The stall owner opened his mouth wide, but Mr. Mao didn't pay much attention. He bargained for two thousand yuan and finally bought it.
At that time, the price of that small bowl was probably 200,000 yuan. Mao Lao really made a big mistake.
After returning, Mr. Mao summed up his experience. No matter where you go, don't worry about whether the market there is small or bad. As long as you are careful, you may find treasures.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the market he went to at the beginning, except for the treasure he bought in exchange, there was not even a treasure worth more than 500 yuan. You can imagine how bad this market is.
In such a market, he came across the Wanli official kiln worth hundreds of thousands. Now the price of the small bowl is even higher. Some time ago in Nanjing, someone offered him 850,000 yuan to buy it. Mr. Mao directly
Rejected.
Of course, no matter what kind of market, the first thing you need to have is vision.
If you don’t have eyesight, you won’t pay attention to good things when they are placed in front of you, and you will miss them.
When Mr. Mao told this story, he said something very classic and very true. He said: The more genuine things are in a place, the fewer people will understand. As long as you are careful, you will always pick up mistakes.
Li Yang looked around the market and found that it was pretty much what Mr. Mao said.
This market is terrible. Although it is not as bad as the market that Mr. Mao mentioned, it is still terrible. There are obviously a lot of fake things, but there are really treasures hidden in these fake things.
Buyers don't understand, and sellers don't know much either. Only the real treasures among the fakes can be picked up by real experts.
This Han Dynasty chilong and chicken heart set is carved from high-quality white jade. The jade quality is good and the carving is good, so the value is naturally not low.
Li Yang estimated that the value of this jade pendant was much higher than that of the Warring States period jade he had detected for leaks in Panjiayuan. If it were auctioned by his company, it could fetch at least two million, which is higher than the one that Mao Lao detected for leaks.
The Wanli small bowl is even more valuable.
Looking to the side, Li Yang slowly showed a smile.
For many people, two million is definitely a huge leak, but what Li Yang enjoys more is the process of leak detection.
"How can I sell this jade tablet?"
Li Yang casually picked up the first jade tablet on the table. It was a very rough modern imitation with obvious traces of artificial distress, but such traces were still very deceptive for novices.
"Little brother, you are an expert, please give me a price, and I will sell it if it suits you!"
The man chuckled and didn't negotiate the price. He let himself make the bid. Li Yang bid too low, but he didn't agree with it. If he bid too high, it was in line with his wishes. This was a way of making progress by retreating.
In the antique circle, many vendors like this. It is a very common thing, and Li Yang doesn't care.
Li Yang smiled, stretched out his other hand and raised two fingers.
"Two thousand?" The man frowned.
Li Yang shook his hand and said softly: "Two hundred!"
The man immediately shook his head: "Two hundred, it's too low. It's not enough for the money I collected. Little brother, how about one thousand and fifty!"
"No, just two hundred, I don't want more!"
Li Yang smiled and said that the price for this jade token was only twenty or thirty yuan at most. This was because there were middlemen, not directly from counterfeiters. The material of this jade token was genuine.
The jade is yes, but it is very inferior, worthless jade, and has no carving work to speak of, so its value is naturally very low.
After Li Yang finished speaking, he directly put down the jade token,
Judging from Li Yang's appearance, the stall owner refused, so he left directly.
"Two hundred is two hundred. I will sell it at a loss this time and make you my friend!"
The stall owner gritted his teeth, as if he was very reluctant. His acting skills were really good. No wonder some people said that the director hired an acting genius to come to the antique circle and he acted like anything he wanted. It was so lifelike.
Li Yang didn't care, he paid directly and picked up the Han Dynasty jade pendant.
This time, the stall owner still asked Li Yang to bid first, and Li Yang extended three fingers. Soon the transaction was successful for 300 yuan, and for 500 yuan, Li Yang bought these two pieces of jade and left directly.
When Li Yang walked away, the stall owner laughed and happily nodded the five hundred yuan.
He bought these jades from another person who quit the business. They cost 20 yuan each, which added up to less than 500 yuan. He only sold two yuan, allowing him to recover all the costs.
.
The rest are all earned.
After Li Yang left, he looked at some other stalls. Now he really felt the mood of Mr. Mao when he checked for leaks. After encountering this piece of Han jade, Li Yang looked much more carefully, and also
I was wondering if I could pick up another leak here.
It's a pity that the market is really bad, and in the stalls I visited later, there was nothing that caught my eye.
This made Li Yang sigh. There are few people who understand the bad market, but there are also very few good things. Unfortunately, he only encountered one.
If his thoughts were known to others, they would probably smash his head in anger.
It is not easy to encounter such a big leak. I am greedy and want to encounter a few more. Countless collectors will never encounter leaks like this one in their lifetime.
After walking around in a circle, several people finally walked towards the hotel.
They didn't go far today. They were hanging around the hotel. They didn't need to call a taxi to go back to the hotel. They could walk back in a few minutes. They could see their hotel building from the street.
"Li Yang, to be honest, is there anything weird about the two pieces of jade you bought?"
As soon as he came out, He Jie asked immediately. He felt something was wrong when Li Yang bought these two pieces of jade, but there were many people around, so he didn't ask. Now that he came out, there were fewer people, so he couldn't help but ask.
came out.
He Shanshan immediately turned her head and looked at Li Yang in surprise.
He Jie knew Li Yang relatively well and had bought things together several times. He knew that Li Yang would not care about ordinary things and would not bargain for them like this.
"There's nothing weird about it, it's just that there's a piece of it that's real!"
The corners of Li Yang's mouth curled up, while He Shanshan's face was a little confused and she asked directly: "What is real? Li Yang, are there any fake things you bought?"
Li Yang took out two pieces of jade, first took the jade plaque bought for two hundred yuan in his hand, and said with a smile: "You can't say whether jade is true or false. This jade plaque is also made of jade, but it is only made by modern people."
It came out, and this jade token alone isn’t worth that much!”
Li Yang raised the piece of Han Dynasty jade pendant again: "This piece is different. This is a real piece of Han jade, and its value is much higher than 300 yuan!"
The two pieces of jade are both jade, but their values are very different. Li Yang bought the first piece purely as a test. Although these vendors don't know much, they are very smart. You have to show your anxiety, they are not lions.
With a big mouth, I just want to hold it and not sell it to you.
Only by doing it step by step without showing any emotion can you successfully buy what you want.
Li Yang has already experienced this.
"Han Jade? How much is your piece of Han Jade worth?"
Before He Jie could speak, He Shanshan hurriedly asked again. She didn't understand Han jade and Tang jade, and she didn't know the difference. What she was most concerned about was the price.
"For this piece, the minimum is two million!"
Li Yang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly raised his head. After hearing his words, He Jie's reaction was not too big. He was with Li Yang and had seen Li Yang buy high-value treasures many times.
Just take it for granted.
Two million is really not much.
But He Shanshan is different. Two million is a big number for her. When she lived abroad, she already lived a very good life, and her annual living expenses were only about 200,000.
Two million is enough for her to live abroad for ten years, and this is the lowest price Li Yang said, which means that this jade pendant may be worth even more.
