Mr. Zhou, the man with glasses, and the white-haired old man stared straight ahead. They couldn't believe what they saw.
That's a chess set.
If you are an ordinary person, you may just think that this Go piece is more beautiful, and there is nothing special about it.
But in the eyes of Mr. Zhou, the man with glasses, and the others, it was different.
Because of their status, they have seen a lot of good things and have certain insights into antiques.
Mr. Zhou and the white-haired old man were not yet true masters of appraisal. They just saw that this special Go piece was a little old and the material was different and very precious.
But as an expert, the man with glasses was really frightened at this moment.
"Is this the Go game from Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty?"
After swallowing, the man with glasses pointed at the Go piece, his voice trembling.
"What?!"
"Song Dynasty Ding Kiln Go?!"
Hearing what the man with glasses said, Mr. Zhou and the white-haired old man's eyes froze.
This Go piece is from the Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty?!
I'm going!
It is very difficult for a Go game to be preserved intact from the Song Dynasty to modern times.
It is probably difficult to find a Go chess piece in the world that is older than this one and is perfectly preserved.
If it is really a Ding kiln from the Song Dynasty, it would be too precious.
If placed in some museums, I'm afraid it would qualify as a "treasure of the museum."
Mr. Zhou and the white-haired old man slowly looked at Ye Chen, both of them were waiting for Ye Chen's answer.
"It's true."
Under the shocked gazes of the three people, Ye Chen nodded slowly.
This was given to him by people from Fengqi Qiyuan last time after he represented Fengqi Qiyuan and defeated the challenge of the young man from Xiaoli.
For an instant, the three of them were stunned again.
The value of this Song Dynasty Ding kiln Go piece is probably more important than the Qianlong seal just now.
After all, Qianlong had too many seals, and this one was not the only one.
"Young friend Ye, you are so awesome. You actually have two such precious treasures in your home."
The white-haired old man was quite envious of Ye Chen.
This time, the bespectacled man brought the white seal with a dragon button, an imperial treasure of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He and Lao Zhou were both competitors, and both wanted to get such a precious treasure.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a fake.
It has really been collected by this young man.
This old guy is very envious of him.
Two pieces?
After hearing what the white-haired old man said, Ye Chen smiled but didn't point it out.
"Ye Xiaoyou"
The white-haired old man was chatting with Ye Chen. He wanted to discuss with Ye Chen to see if he could buy the white seal with dragon button and the imperial treasure of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.
He was willing to pay double the price.
Not for anything else, I just want to collect such a treasure and take advantage of Lao Zhou.
He has a large collection, but there is no treasure of the level of the Qianlong Imperial Treasure of the Qing Dynasty.
Young people like to play and spend a lot of money on various things, so they should be short of money.
He offered double the price, which was quite sincere. Ye Xiaoyou probably wouldn't refuse.
While the white-haired old man was talking to Ye Chen, Mr. Zhou and the man with glasses had already begun to observe other treasures in Ye Chen's study.
"Xiao Chen, is this the Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi Descending the Mountain pot that caused a lot of commotion back then?!"
Mr. Zhou asked in surprise.
The Yuan blue and white Guiguzi Descending Mountain vase is so famous that Mr. Zhou has naturally heard of it.
"Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending the mountain pot?!"
Before the white-haired old man had time to talk to Ye Chen about the topic, he suddenly heard Mr. Zhou's voice and immediately shouted out.
The white-haired old man immediately turned around and came to Mr. Zhou.
Looking at the Yuan blue and white Guiguzi Descending Mountain vase placed there, the white-haired old man's eyes were dull again.
"Xiaochen?"
Mr. Zhou looked at Ye Chen.
"Yes, this is the real thing."
Ye Chen nodded and gave a clear answer.
This one is also authentic?!
Mr. Zhou and the white-haired old man were shocked.
This is another treasure that can be called the "treasure of the museum".
In a study room, they had already seen three such precious antiques.
Just unbelievable.
Just as the two of them were sighing, the man with glasses spoke.
"Master Ye, this calligraphy and painting"
Pointing at the calligraphy and painting in front of him, the bespectacled man's hands were trembling.
Even if he just heard Mr. Zhou talking about Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi descending the mountain pot, he was not attracted to it.
His eyes still stopped at the calligraphy and painting in front of him.
"This is Mr. Qi Baishi's high-standing picture of pines and cypresses and four-character couplets in seal script, which set the auction record for modern Chinese paintings and calligraphy."
Ye Chen understood what the man with glasses wanted to ask and explained.
In fact, the original price of this [Picture of Pines and Cypresses High, Four-Character Couplet in Seal Script] was not that expensive, just tens of millions, which is far less than other antiques.
But a few years ago, its value suddenly doubled 20 times, and its upward momentum continues unabated.
As the saying goes, gold is found in troubled times and antiques are found in prosperous times.
The price of antiques has been getting higher and higher in recent years, and Mr. Qi Baishi's reputation has also been getting bigger and bigger.
As the largest piece among his works, the value of "High Standing Pictures of Pines and Cypresses·Four-Character Couplets in Seal Script" is self-evident.
Mr. Zhou and the white-haired old man turned their heads and looked at this [Picture of tall pines and cypresses, four-character couplet in seal script].
This is the fourth top-notch treasure that I saw in Ye Chen's study.
The words "created an auction record" are not simple.
"And this one"
After admiring the "Pictures of tall pines and cypresses and four-character couplets in seal script", they noticed other treasures in the study.
In the study room, in addition to the five top-quality antiques that Ye Chen got last night, there are also antique treasures that have been placed here for a long time.
"This is not a study, this is obviously a museum."
The white-haired old man sighed.
I'm afraid that the top treasures collected in some small and medium-sized museums are not as numerous as the top treasures collected in this study.
Several people present were shocked to the extreme by Ye Chen's collection!!!
So awesome.
The bespectacled man looked at the antiques that filled the study room, and suddenly thought of the painting "Boy with a Pipe" that he saw for the first time after entering the villa.
Since these antique treasures in the study are all real, then the ones outside cannot be fake.
The value of some treasures in the study can be compared with "Boy with a Pipe".
Now that he thought about the fact that he had judged in his mind that the "Boy with a Pipe" was a fake painting from the very beginning, the bespectacled man felt really blushing for himself.
Poverty limited his imagination.
"Master Xiaoye, I admire you."
The white-haired old man sighed.
At this moment, he no longer had the idea of using money to ask Ye Chen to sell him the Qianlong Seal.
Will you be short of money to collect so many treasures?
These collections of Master Ye are definitely the most powerful and precious among the private collections he has ever seen with his own eyes.
Therefore, the white-haired old man's name for Ye Chen also changed from "Ye Xiaoyou" to "Master Ye".
"Master Ye, you are the real master of appraisal."
The man with glasses was completely dormant and worshiped Ye Chen.
"Old Yu, do you still remember what I told you back then?"
Suddenly, Zhou Laoruo pointedly said to the white-haired old man.
