It is because of such a few masters in the Magic City that the Magic City Museum is able to collect many precious national treasures. In some special categories, even the Forbidden City Museum is not as good as the Magic City Museum.
On the one hand, the Modu City government has money and people invest a lot. On the other hand, they also have their own big experts. Only with such a group of professionals can they buy genuine products with money.
Although the old man of the Fat Liu family did not study porcelain in depth enough, he was still very capable of verifying some things that everyone knew well.
Meng Guangtao's small Qianlong enamel bowl was made with exquisite craftsmanship and was flawless in the eyes of real experts. Even the old man of the Fat Liu family had only seen such a perfect thing in some large museums.
So his first subconscious thought was that these were pictures collected by Han Peacock from the Internet, which is why Fat Liu asked Han Peacock that way.
Fat Liu's family, his parents are both great intellectuals, the professionals are his father and eldest brother and sister-in-law, they all study history, the old man is in the Shanghai Museum, and Fat Liu's eldest brother and sister-in-law are all history professors at Shanghai University.
.
Under the influence of the old man, Fat Liu's eldest brother and his wife were very interested in antiques, especially Fat Liu's eldest brother and his wife, who had a preference for porcelain.
It's just that they are a hobby, not a professional researcher. Even so, it does not prevent them from identifying that the small bowl is authentic through pictures, which is more than 70% to 80% possible. This is just because they are looking at pictures. If they are asked
If they see the real thing, they will definitely be able to give the correct answer.
Even Fat Liu’s mother, Mrs. Liu, has a deep understanding of antiques after being nurtured by her family over the years.
The family soon came to the conclusion, just from the analysis of the pictures, that the small bowl in Han Peacock's hand was definitely a masterpiece among the Kangxi enamels with yellow ground floral patterns.
As long as this kind of thing is confirmed to be authentic, it must have come from the palace. At that time, poor people would never dare to use yellow small bowls. It was a serious crime of decapitation, not to mention that it was still enamel, and ordinary officials
Impossible to see.
It is the proliferation of modern yellow glazes that makes it easy to imitate such small bowls, but it is still very difficult to imitate such exquisite enamel-colored small bowls.
Fat Liu is considered the least talented person in the Liu family. As a scholarly family, their family actually has an uneducated and unskilled kid who sets up a stall in the antique street. This is enough to make Liu Shaoshan so ashamed that he never walks through the antique street.
enter.
Now Fat Liu actually doesn't want to be a hawker, and has actually started to work as an antique agent. Liu Shaoshan is still very supportive of this. After all, this is a career, and everyone who knows the industry knows that this is still a very promising career.
.
In the past one or two decades in China, the antique market has been increasingly hyped, and more and more enthusiasts have been cultivated, many of whom are owners who have money to spare and no money to spend.
These people buy antiques for a fortune, but the antique market is too deep. No matter how rich and powerful you are, you are likely to buy fakes. This is how tired antique customers emerge.
On the surface, auction houses, antique companies, antique shops, secretly Baofengzhai, and private intermediaries are all engaged in middleman business.
As long as you have connections and connections, and leave professional matters to professional people, you can get a generous reward just by doing a good job of pulling the strings. Therefore, this industry is getting bigger and bigger now, and everyone has seen the oil and water in it.
.
Fat Liu's advantage is obvious. His father is an expert. At least when he encounters bronze-related items, someone will appraise them for free. Moreover, his family has connections. If he encounters something, he can find someone to appraise it. If he encounters something good, it will be easier to sell.
, with the prestige of his old man, as long as the goods are good, it is almost impossible to find a good buyer.
With so many advantages, he should have done this a long time ago, regardless of the fact that he has been lacking an opportunity, and Han Kongque just gave him such a good opportunity.
Han Kongque is such a smart person. Although he doesn't know much about Fat Liu's family situation, he can tell what he wants to do just by analyzing some of Fat Liu's words.
So he simply said: "Brother Liu, you know that people who have such a treasure are very careful, so if you want to do this job well, you have to be careful. If there is a slight mistake, the seller will
Don’t trust us anymore.”
"Don't worry about this. Since I want to do this, I have already made all preparations. Since you, Xiao Han, have guaranteed to me that it is the real thing, then I will find a buyer as you said. You can listen to my operation process.
"
"Okay, you say."
"First of all, I will print out a few pictures and show them to the customers. Don't worry, these pictures will definitely not be leaked out. The customers I am looking for are all people with identities, and it is impossible to go out and talk nonsense.
Besides, we won’t arrange meetings between buyers and sellers at the beginning. When customers are interested, I will negotiate the price directly. I will contact a few more buyers who are most likely to be interested and determine a maximum price.
After preliminary negotiations are completed, I will report the price to you. After the seller confirms it, we will let both parties meet. At that time, the other party will invite some experts to conduct on-site appraisal.
How about just confirming that everything is correct, signing the contract, paying for it, and taking the item? In this way, the seller won’t waste any time, and even if he shows up at the last minute, he won’t have much trouble.”
Han Kongque thought about it, this way he could protect the seller very well. It seemed that Fat Liu had really put in a lot of effort.
"Okay, that's it, you should contact us as soon as possible. There is an opportunity before the National Day holiday. If this day passes, the seller's willingness to take action will be much reduced, so..."
"I know this, Xiao Han. Since I'm helping you contact me this time, I won't take my share." Fat Liu said.
What Fat Liu mainly wants this time is fame. Although he won't make any money this time, with fame and connections, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future.
And Han Kongque is definitely worthy of his investment. Not to mention the small enamel bowl, just the medical book in Han Kongque's hand has attracted many people's interest, at least his old man is very interested.
Han Kongque thought for a while and said: "We will talk about this later, but let me say it first. The minimum price of this small bowl must be 50 million. If the price is lower than this, we will drag it. If no one offers a higher price,
I will communicate with the seller again, otherwise I will really regret the 10% commission. If it reaches 50 million, we two brothers will have a commission of 5 million."
Although Fat Liu said he didn't want a commission, Han Peacock couldn't help but express that only by a win-win situation for both parties can the work be done well.
Just like the benefits Meng Guangtao promised to Han Peacock in the end, if Han Peacock plucks nothing, although Fat Liu will benefit, he will not be too happy in his heart.
"Boy, okay, let's talk about it after it's finished." Fat Liu was indeed very happy to hear this.
Han Peacock also smiled here, who doesn't like money?
Although Fat Liu originally made a lot of money, he was definitely not well-off. If he succeeded this time, he would get a commission of 5 million, which is equivalent to winning a lottery jackpot, and this is much better than the chance of winning a lottery ticket.
With so much money, if Han Peacock really takes it all for himself, their cooperation in the future will be impossible.
So Han Kongque said with certainty: "This can't wait until later. We brothers will settle the accounts and add two to one to make five. If more than 50 million is sold, each of us will get half. Brother Liu, you don't think we are brothers."
Did you take too much?"
"No way, you have to know that you have the resources. Without you, your brother Liu wouldn't even get a hair. Okay, let's not talk about it. It's your brother Liu and I will take advantage of you. If I help you with things in the future
"Brother Liu won't take any money from you." Fat Liu really needed money, so he was no longer polite.
Han Kongque thought about the few blood jade pendants in his hand. If he took action, he might really need his help.
Although he also knows some big names in the jewelry street, they are all thanks to the relationship between Zhou Meiren's family, so if he wants to take action in the future, it would be a good idea to follow Fat Liu's path.
Thinking of something worth tens of millions, Fat Liu would not take a penny. You must know that it is a commission of millions. Thinking that Fat Liu might regret it and make his liver hurt, Han Kongque said with a wicked smile: "Brother Liu, don't regret it."
Ah, brother, you have so many good things in your hands."
Fat Liu laughed loudly and said: "That's better, then I won't lose my job. After I finish this, I will use the things in your hands. I'm not afraid of having more good things. The more the merrier."
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Since Brother Liu is not coming tonight, we will enjoy the feast by ourselves."
"Okay, you can eat."
Han Kongque put down the phone and walked to the living room. Han Kongque was the only room in the room where they could have a meal together.
Aunt Chen Rui and her sister-in-law cooked a table full of vegetables in less than an hour. They also had steak. The beef was not very good, but it still tasted good after it was cooked. Before he even ate it, he smelled a very strong smell.
meaty flavor.
Half a chicken is used to make spicy chicken. The fish is a home-style fish stew. It is fried first and then simmered slowly over low heat. This way the soup is thick and you can drink fish soup.
In addition to these, there is also a stewed pork ribs, and the rest are all ingredients. Braised eggplant is indispensable. Chen Rui knows that Han Peacock still eats it, and the eggplants in the yard are very productive, so Chen Rui and her family eat together with Han Peacock every time.
, almost everyone makes this dish.
Others are like cucumber salad, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and loofah egg soup. They only have four people, and these are enough to eat.
It's hot now, so neither Chen Qing nor Han Kongque drank a bottle of beer, so they just let it go. Neither Han Kongque nor Chen Qing usually have the habit of drinking when eating.
After finishing the meal, they saw that the sky outside was almost completely dark, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Chen Qing and his wife knew that they could not go out at the stall at night, so they all went back to rest.
They are still very tired after a day, so they need to rest whenever they have time, otherwise they just can't bear it.
In order to prepare breakfast in the morning, they often get up at three o'clock in the morning, and can't go to bed until after ten o'clock at night. Although they can earn more money than those ordinary office workers, the money is harder to earn.
