Looking at it now, four million is not that much, and the vice president of the bank would not pay too much attention to it, but at that time it was a lot, almost comparable to the current forty million.
The bank had a deposit task, and Wang Wenwen completed it immediately. The bank gave her two days off, and I heard there was a bonus. To express her gratitude, she invited me to have afternoon tea at the cafe next to the bank.
After ordering and sitting down, Wang Wenwen stirred the coffee and said with a smile: "It seems too unfamiliar to keep calling you Mr. Xiang. Can I call you Brother Xiang?"
"Okay, I won't lose my principal on that money, right?"
"Brother Xiang, don't worry. According to my experience, it is basically impossible for a bank to let you lose your principal for a big customer like you. I was very curious last time. I didn't come to get married and asked carefully. You are not an engineer.
Bar?"
I took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "No, I am actually engaged in antiques and antique business."
"Business in antiques? No wonder you are so rich at such a young age, Brother Xiang. I would like to ask, do you have a girlfriend now?"
Half-jokingly, I teased her and said, "Yes, I have more than ten girlfriends."
She also laughed and said she didn't believe it.
Things between men and women are just a layer of window paper. I know she is interested in me, but I have no idea about her. The reason why we agreed to have afternoon tea together is because she looks so much like Li Jing, which evokes
my memories.
"By the way! Brother Xiang, my dad also likes this area. He has bought many bottles and cans from nowhere over the years, and he doesn't know whether they are genuine or fake and whether they are worth anything! You must be very good at doing business in this area.
Awesome, can you come to my house and help me?"
"Well... I'm afraid it won't work. I have something to do now."
"It's not far! The road is very close! It's just across the street from the community. Please, Brother Xiang! I won't delay you for long."
I could see the community through the glass of the coffee shop. It was indeed very close. I looked at the time and agreed to go to her house to help take a look.
Wang Wenwen lives on the fourth floor and has a good family situation. His father is in his fifties, has black hair, and looks very energetic.
Wang Wenwen explained the purpose of his visit, and his father immediately enthusiastically invited me to visit his collection. His father collected a room full of porcelain, and the three antique shelves in the living room were filled with them.
I scanned it ten lines at a time, and I basically had the map in my mind.
"Xiaoxiang, Wenwen said you are an expert?"
"Uncle was joking, I just do some business in this area."
"Oh, please take a look, how about my large blue and white figure vase from the mid-Ming Dynasty? I bought it ten years ago and spent several thousand at that time. Last month, someone from the auction house came to me and said that this vase is now
The bottle can fetch more than a million!”
"However, some experts say it's fake. I've never been sure. Xiaoxiang, please take a good look at it. It's okay! Just tell me whether it's true or not!"
The blue and white color of this large vase is grayish, and there are many white spaces in the layout of the characters. The painting shows people visiting friends with their musical instruments. From a stylistic point of view, it is very similar to something from the Ming Dynasty's blank period.
"Uncle, is there a mark on the bottom of your bottle that says "Tomorrow will be in accordance with the year?"
"What a good eye! Xiao Xiang, you know everything without even looking at it!"
He turned the bottle over and saw that it was indeed the blue and white model of Da Ming Shun.
I smiled and explained: "Uncle, remember, the three emperors of Tianshun, Jingtai, and Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty were called the blank period, and all the porcelain was not signed. Do you understand what I say?"
He suddenly realized: "That's a lie, right?"
I said it's just my personal opinion.
"What about these?" He pointed to the Bogu rack.
I said some were real and some were fake, and then I quickly pointed and told him which ones were genuine and which ones were imitations.
Wang Wenwen's father has a better mentality as a collector and can accept it with an open mind. If he was a member of the National Treasure Gang who accepts death, I would not waste my time helping him look at things.
After reading it, I said it was almost time and my uncle was still busy with other things and had to leave.
He immediately said: "Xiao Xiang, don't worry, I still have a few good collections, including a blue and white jar from the Yuan Dynasty! You are helping to control the eye."
"Yuan blue and white jar? How big is it?" I asked.
He gestured with his hand and said it was about as big as the mouth of a bowl.
I immediately said: "Uncle, you don't have to take it. The thing is wrong. Yuanqinghua's jar is not that small. It doesn't comply with the rules."
His dad was stunned for a moment, with a somewhat disappointed expression on his face, and said, "Then I also have a head jar. Isn't it also a fake?"
"I didn't hear you clearly. Uncle, what did you say there was?"
He added: "It's just a human head jar, a human head made of porcelain, with a nose, eyes, and a mouth."
I thought about it for a long time, not knowing what he was describing.
In ancient times, there were hundreds of porcelain shapes throughout the dynasties. I didn’t know there was such a thing and had never heard of it. I quickly asked him to take a look.
He quickly brought over a brocade box.
After opening the brocade box, I took a quick look and frowned.
