A Ming Dynasty colorful dragon and elephant ear vase in good condition is worth about one million. If you can make a pair, its value is not just based on a single one, it will cost at least three million. If you meet someone who really likes it, you can buy it.
Four million is not unusual.
If these two plum bottles are genuine, it would be really profitable to get them for one million yuan. They are already missed. However, the result of using the supernatural power detection makes Mr. Tang feel extremely painful. The two bottles look the same.
In fact, one is true and the other is false. The bottle on the left is indeed an old object left over from the Ming Dynasty, but the one on the right is a modern handicraft that has been made through a series of patinas and is similar to the one on the left.
Logically speaking, the firing process of the plum vase on the right is not worse than the one on the left, but antiques are just an ancient word, without the precipitation of time, even if you fire the best thing, it may not cost hundreds of dollars.
A broken porcelain bowl left behind years ago is valuable, it is an antique.
For example, the famous Western painter Van Gogh was not appreciated by the world for his paintings during his lifetime. He made a living by painting. In the end, he became impoverished and committed suicide. However, Van Gogh's paintings became popular after his death, and a series of honors came to him.
, of course Van Gogh can no longer enjoy it, he has returned to the embrace of God. Among so many artists in the West, only Picasso saw his works collected by museums during his lifetime and received the highest honor.
In fact, the organizer of the black market initially obtained a pair of Ming Dynasty colorful dragon and elephant ear vases, but one of them was accidentally broken during transportation. Antiques are not easy to spread, and there are wars, accidents, etc.
It may cause damage, and it is especially difficult to hand down a set, so a set is much more expensive than a single sale.
In order to recover the losses, the organizers thought of a way and hired a skilled craftsman to bake an identical plum vase. After a series of processing, they gave the porcelain vase a layer of fake patina.
The plum vase is a high-quality imitation, and even a single one can deceive many experts, let alone a real one together? In addition, so many people only give three minutes of appraisal time, so it will not be a problem to fool them.
As for the buyer who finds problems after buying it back, I'm sorry. What we sell are all handicrafts and there are no fakes. If you want to return the goods, what's more, isn't there a bottle that is real? With this bottle, at least
The buyer's capital was guaranteed, and the buyer would not suffer too much and cut off the source of customers. The organizer auctioned the plum vase on the black market for the price of an external auction house, successfully passing on the loss, and everyone was happy.
"Hey, Tang Fei, how are you? Can you take action?" Wang Jun asked hurriedly when he returned to his seat. Boss Hu on the side listened with his ears pricked up.
In fact, Wang Jun did not bring an appraiser this time, but instead brought a young man. He had some vague suspicions. Seeing Wang Jun asking Mr. Tang for his opinion, Boss Hu knew that he was right. Tang Fei was indeed Wang Jun.
The appraiser hired by the army is just too young. Is it reliable?
It is said that Shanxi coal bosses are nouveau riche. In fact, this is not the case. Shanxi's rich coal resources have indeed given rise to a number of nouveau riche. However, Boss Hu's ability to achieve the position of Shanxi's number one coal boss is not something that only an upstart can achieve.
, Boss Hu is a serious university graduate, and he also knew something about archeology when he was in school.
After becoming financially free, Boss Hu fell in love with collecting. He once humbly learned a lot from some appraisers, and he was considered a semi-expert among the rich group of collectors. The reason why he did not bring an appraiser to the black market this time was because
Time is in a hurry, and the second team itself is relatively confident.
Successful people are always arrogant and think that they can succeed in this field, and other fields are no exception. Boss Hu is such a person. It is also because there are so many such people that the antique market has prospered. Of course, it is also because of them
So the antique market is full of fakes. Why? These people have a lot of money and are easy to deceive. Wang Jun is just an example.
"Brother Wang, the organizer of this black market is really not willing to suffer any losses. There are two plum bottles, one real and one fake." Young Master Tang shook his head and said.
"One is true and the other is false? No way, why do they look the same to me?" Wang Jun asked dumbfounded.
"Did Brother Tang get it wrong? I just took a closer look. The firing process and coating should be real. However, the appearance is so good. If it is real, it should be real, or both.
It's fake, how can one be true and the other false?" Boss Hu also asked.
Boss Hu was able to do business as well as he was happy and angry. According to his understanding of Wang Jun, he could lead this young man to act as an appraiser, which means that this man must have two skills, so although he did not agree with Tang
The eldest young master’s views were not those of his seniors, but rather those of his peers.
"Haha, Brother Wang, Boss Hu, when you were looking at the plum vase at the desk just now, did you notice that the plum vase on the right is brighter? These two plum vase are a pair, if they are both real
, the color of the two bottles should be the same. If Brother Wang had a pair of plum bottles like this, would you only like the one on the right, play with it often, and ignore the one on the left?" Wuyou Novel Network does not
The word jump. Young Master Tang asked with a smile.
"Of course not, both are the same, how can you only play with one, but it seems a bit arbitrary to judge one is true and the other is false based on these alone." Wang Jun said with a frown.
"Of course it's more than that. I didn't find anything fishy about the plum vase on the left, but I found some old signs on the plum vase on the right. And you may not have noticed that, although the auctioneer seems calm on the surface,
But the corner of my eye kept glancing at the plum vase on the right. Based on the above problems, I concluded that there must be something wrong with the plum vase on the right. The best explanation is that one of the two plum vases is real and the other is fake. In this way, even if
Even if the customer discovers a problem after buying the plum vase, he will not lose the customer base. After all, the real plum vase is enough for the customer to recover the loss." Mr. Tang said solemnly.
Wang Jun and Boss Hu looked towards the small stage. Sure enough, although the auctioneer seemed not to care about the inspection, he kept paying attention to the plum vase on the right from the corner of his eye.
"You are so awesome, you can find such a detail." Wang Jun gave Young Master Tang a thumbs up.
"Brother Xiao Tang is really amazing. His ability to observe people's emotions is not as good as mine. If you go into business, I guarantee you will make a profit without losing any money." Boss Hu also said jokingly.
Young Master Tang felt ashamed. When you know something is fake, you can always see some problems. As for whether the auctioneer is paying attention to the plum vase on the right, but as long as you say so, the people next to you will have the first impression.
I think so. As long as the auctioneer pays attention to the plum vase on the right, Wang Jun and Boss Hu will think that he is guilty of committing a crime.
"Okay, everyone sitting here has appraised the colorful dragon and elephant ear vase provided by the organizer. Such a well-preserved plum vase is very rare in the outside world. I believe you all know it by heart. The auction is now starting. The starting price is two
One hundred thousand, start now." The auctioneer shouted on the small stage, waving his hammer.
"Three hundred thousand." As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone immediately made a bid.
"I'll pay 400,000."
"Five million."
"Seven hundred thousand."
"Eight hundred thousand."
…
"It seems that many people are optimistic about this thing." Wang Jun said in a low voice as he looked at the heated bidding.
"Well, there are quite a lot of people. There are more people here today, more than twenty people. In the past, there were only five or six people participating in the black market. The organizer of this black market is really powerful." Boss Hu praised.
"One million." A woman's voice appeared, and the number increased to more than one million for the first time.
"Okay, this lady bids one million, is there anything higher than this?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip the words. The auctioneer shouted excitedly, although the difference between one million and nine hundred thousand is only a hundred thousand,
But the meaning it represents is completely different.
Young Master Tang heard that the voice sounded familiar and couldn't help but look towards the owner of the voice.
Is it her? Young Master Tang was startled, but why is she with a strange man? Where is her brother?
It turned out that the person bidding was none other than Zheng Yating, who bought three pieces of jadeite from Mr. Tang last time at the stone gambling party.
Wang Jun also said dumbly: "Why is this little girl here too? And she is also with that guy Zhou Xing?"
"Who is it? This girl looks like Zhou Zheng, how come she is with the prodigal son of the Zhou family? What a pity, a flower stuck in cow dung, such a beautiful woman is rare." Boss Hu chirped.
Young Master Tang rolled his eyes after hearing this. At least Zhou Xing is still a young man. Following him is like being stuck in cow dung. Could it be that following a fat guy like you is not the same? It seems that Boss Hu is also a hungry ghost, but then
Who is Zhou Xing?
"Brother Wang, who is that Zhou Xing?" Young Master Tang asked curiously. He, Young Master Tang, has been in Haishi for more than 20 years. He knows the rich families in Haishi very well, and he also knows everything about them.
Most people know that from the looks of Wang Jun and Boss Hu, Zhou Xing should be a celebrity, but they have never heard of it.
"Haha, he is the heir to Daheng Group. Daheng Group is headquartered in Suzhou and has only a small part of its business in Haishi. It's not surprising that you don't know him. He is a well-known prodigal. It is said that he spent thousands of dollars just on being a celebrity last year.
Ten million." Wang Jun said with a smile.
Boss Hu on the side showed a wry smile. He actually called me a prodigal. He didn’t even think that last year you cut off tens of millions just by cutting stones. In the eyes of many people, you are even more prodigal than Zhou Xing. Of course Wang
Except for this point, Jun's performance is much better than that of Zhou Xing in other aspects. At least he is already dealing with company affairs. However, this Zhou Xing can't do anything except eating, drinking, having fun and courting women.
"No, Zhou Xing is also very famous in the collecting circle. He doesn't like antiques himself, but he likes arty things. As a result, he spent millions to buy a house full of 'antiques' and hired a famous appraiser from Suzhou.
Look, it turns out they are all fakes. But the woman next to this guy is pretty good, I don’t know where she got it from.” Boss Hu said with a bit of sourness at the end.
