Chapter 302 Falling out(1/2)

 "You kid, don't talk nonsense, this is undoubtedly authentic!"

"How to prove it?" Gao Bin asked.

He has observed that there is no inscription on it. Who can prove that this Ruyi jade is related to He Shen? Even the workmanship and decoration look like something from the palace.

But if there is no evidence, there is no evidence. Gao Binfei has nothing wrong with saying it is false.

If it is true, it can still compete with the Qianlong jade bowl that made a wish. After all, it has historical significance.

But now, Mr. Zheng himself is confused. Is this still a point of comparison?

Next, he took out another piece of jade - the jade Buddha's hand.

There is nothing to say about this. There is no doubt that the treasure is from the tomb of a certain concubine in the Qing Dynasty. It is of high value, but it is far less evil than the jade Ruyi.

This one is about the same as the inkstone Huang Yanyan selected, barely even.

Finally, we come to the snuff bottle. The value of this thing has been mentioned before. I won’t go into details. As long as Gao Bin can produce an ancient object of similar value, he will be enough to win this bet.

Now the focus of everyone in the audience is on Gao Bin, and everyone is guessing what kind of treasure he will bring out.

Mr. Zheng is staring at Gao Bin. As a gambler, it is equivalent to waiting for the other party to reveal the last card. Whether he wins or loses, it all happens in an instant!

"This is?"

When Gao Bin opened the brocade box, everyone held their breath and watched him carefully place a snuff bottle on the table.

"Boss Zheng, look at my snuff bottle, how does it compare to yours?"

Different from Mr. Zheng's tobacco pot, this one is made of copper, with a small round mouth, a girdle neck, a flat belly, an oval ring foot, both sides decorated with painted enamel, and the whole body is gilt copper and engraved with patterns.

There is a spoon inside under the flower cover. The neck and shoulder sides of the snuff bottle are engraved with a branch pattern, with vines and leaves, delicate and delicate. The four-character regular script "Made in the Qianlong Year" is inscribed on the bottom of the snuff bottle.

The two oval sides of the abdomen are consecrated, and the inner view depicts Western characters. One side is painted with a bust of a girl, and the other is painted with a bust of a gentleman. The content painted on the two sides should be a coherent picture.

The girl has long hair, gorgeous clothes, standing sideways with flowers, her appearance is handsome, quiet and leisurely;

The man holds flowers in one hand and looks lovingly at the girl opposite. She is dressed in bright and fashionable clothes.

It is well known that foreign countries attach great importance to the culture of "painted inside snuff bottles".

When collecting snuff bottles, in addition to paying attention to the high quality of the material itself, you must also pay attention to whether its shape is pleasing to the eye, beautiful and well-proportioned.

Some people liken the top two sides of the snuff bottle to be the shoulders of a beauty, which emphasizes the beauty of the lines and makes it charming.

Generally speaking, there are few gold and silver snuff bottles in existence, while copper ones are relatively more numerous, and they mostly appear in the form of enamel painting, so their collection value is high;

The value of jade snuff bottles varies greatly depending on the texture. The rarer the material, the more precious it is;

Bamboo and horn snuff bottles are extremely rare;

The market value of carved ivory snuff bottles is in the middle;

Material pots and porcelain pots are the most common and have low collection value.

In addition, the level of craftsmanship also directly affects the collection value of snuff bottles.

For example, the material of lacquer snuff bottles is very common, but because there are so few of them in existence and the craftsmanship is exquisite, their value is relatively high.

Apart from the factors of famous brands, due to different craftsmanship, objects made of the same material are often very different. This is particularly prominent in enamel, nesting materials and painted pots.

It is very difficult to make a copper-painted enamel snuff bottle and the cost is also very high.

The production of nested pots requires the use of multi-layer sintering technology, so that the different shades of color materials are highly layered after being fused at high temperature, thereby producing a embossed effect.

To paint a snuff bottle inside, you use a special deformed fine pen to use skill to draw slender and clear figures, landscapes and other patterns on the inner wall of the bottle. If the bottle is made by a famous artist, its value will be even higher.

After the enamel painting technology was introduced to China, it developed in the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties. The works of the three dynasties have their own characteristics in terms of shape, glaze color, decoration, and signature.

During the Qianlong period, the decoration of painted enamelware tended to be "dense" and "meticulous" in a stacked style, with more Chinese and Western decoration methods.

This snuff bottle is small and beautiful, and its decoration and workmanship have both Chinese and Western styles. It is a work that imitates Western painting style.

Even if everyone present is not an expert, they are all insiders. The so-called laymen watch the excitement, and the insiders watch the door. With Mr. Zheng’s cigarette pot, it is clear at a glance which one is higher and which one is lower.

"What a beautiful snuff bottle, damn, there is such a treasure hidden in the ghost market, and I didn't find it." Someone shouted regretfully.

"Yes, for such a beautiful snuff bottle, this outsider should be the winner, right?"

"That's hard to say. It's not the first time that Zheng has acted rogue."

"Then it depends on what's going on, right? This guy's gambling is pretty good."

"Haha, just kidding, does a gambler have character?"

"It's so beautiful, but it's a pity that it's not mine, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what if? Even if it is placed in front of you, you may not be able to recognize it."

Indeed, although this snuff bottle is very exquisite, it is actually not easy to identify and can easily be confused with the snuff bottles from the Republic of China period.

Although there is a money mark made in the Qianlong year below, people who have been deceived too many are not so easy to believe it.

"How much do you think this snuff bottle is worth? Can it be sold for tens of thousands?"

"More than that, such a beautiful snuff bottle is still used by the royal family, so why doesn't it cost hundreds of thousands?"

Today's hundreds of thousands are extremely expensive, unlike in later generations when some people took hundreds of thousands as money.

"I think there are hundreds of thousands of them. It's so beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful snuff bottle. Of course, the one with the surname Zheng is not bad either, but the style is different."

"I still think this combination of Chinese and Western is more beautiful."

"I think it's better to have the ancestors."

"They are all things from our ancestors, but the styles are different."

Everything was mentioned below, except for Mr. Zheng, who stared directly at Gao Bin's snuff bottle with a look of disbelief on his face.

How could it be? There are treasures in this market that he doesn’t know about?

In the eyes of Mr. Zheng, this is betrayal! Chi Guoguo’s betrayal, and he was slapped in the face in front of everyone.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Lost!

Mr. Zheng’s face turned gloomy.

The value of the treasure is obvious to all and cannot be faked. If the man named Zheng still wants to continue to dominate the market, he cannot lie and deny his credit.

So he said with a sullen face:

"If you win, come with me."

After putting away their things, Gao Bin and the other two followed Mr. Zheng back to his office, let's call it an office.

"Formal introduction, my name is Zheng Zheng, I am the person in charge of Zhengjia Village in Anyang. What kind of business do you want to do?"

Gao Bin said:

"Mr. Zheng, you know better than I do what Zhengjiacun can provide. I only have one request: go to the site for an inspection. After confirming that there is no problem, I will place a big order, starting from 1 million!"

I was stunned for a moment:

"1 million?"

Then he said suspiciously:

"Where are you from? Why don't you introduce me?"

Gao Bin smiled mysteriously:

"The beautiful lady next to me is named Huang and her name is Yanyan. Do you know the five meridians?"

He nodded solemnly:

"The Wumai Huang family, I didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Huang family would arrive."

"So don't worry about us not being able to get the money, as long as your stuff is hard enough."

Zheng Zheng knew it well, but he said:

"The inspection to Zhengjiacun requires the consent of the clan elders. You may have to stay in Anyang for a few days. Don't worry, I will make arrangements."

After hearing their origins, he solemnly did not dare to neglect and asked to entertain them.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng. If it is convenient, please bring a few samples for us to appreciate."

"No problem, it's all trivial."

...

When we returned to the hotel, the sky was already bright. After experiencing such hard work as gambling, Gao Bin and others did not feel sleepy, but rather excited.

As a group, let’s go out to have some breakfast and enjoy the local food.

Breakfast in the Central Plains is the most abundant, including rice noodles, flat noodles, spicy soup, and of course, breakfasts such as tofu curd that are common across the country.

Gao Bin and Xu Yuan are not people who choose places to eat, and they like this kind of market culture very much, and they love street food very much.

Huang Yanyan has been pampered since she was a child, and rarely eats from roadside stalls like this, especially on the roadside, where people bring up a cloud of dust when they pass by. How do you eat this?

On the contrary, Kido Kana opened Gao Bin's eyes. This neon girl has a gentle personality and is not picky. She is full of yearning for roadside stalls.
