Holding the axle heads in his hands, Shen Yu realized that the two axle heads were extremely heavy and could not be made of wood, so the possibility of dark wood or ebony was immediately ruled out.
Then Shen Yu quickly ruled out porcelain and copper, so the only possibility was jade.
Putting down the left hand shaft, Shen Yu picked up the strong flashlight placed on the table and started to turn on the light to observe the material inside the shaft.
After looking at it for a few times, the light couldn't penetrate at all. The coating on the outside of the shaft head and the dirt stained by smoke and dust were too thick. At this time, a shop assistant was ordered by Zheng Congyun to get a wet towel to help. Shen Yu is very busy.
After wiping it with a towel, a smile appeared on Shen Yu's face.
"Green with black, black with green, it feels warm and moist, and the texture is fine. It turns out that the axis of this painting is two pieces of ink green! In this way, it is really a million-level leak."
Although these two shaft heads were very dirty on the outside, they did not affect the inside. Having said that, if they were not so dirty, they would have been picked up long ago, and it would not be Shen Yulai's turn to win this "big prize".
Ink jade is a high-end material in jade. These two small pieces of material have pure color and good water quality, and can reach the high ice level. They can be said to be rare and good materials, and they are also excellent among ink jade.
Shen Yu has not handled much of Mo Cui, but the sum of these two small pieces of jade is still less than a million, and there is no problem in selling the finished product for 1.5 million.
Many people have the impression that jade is green. In fact, it is not just green. There are also various colors such as red jade, purple jade, yellow jade, black jade, ink jade, etc.
"What?"
Zheng Congyun was shocked when he heard this.
I saw him speaking faster and asked urgently: "It is not easy to think of the leakage on the shaft head so quickly, and to eliminate black jade and black jade that are extremely difficult to distinguish from black jade in just a few minutes. Chuzhou Antiques When did the world have such an amazingly talented youngster like you, little friend?"
Indeed, as Zheng Congyun said, it is difficult for ordinary collectors to distinguish the three types of jade, black jade, black jade, and black jade, because they are all black jade.
But it is not difficult for Shen Yu.
Black jade can be simply understood as black and oily jade.
Although Mo Cui has the word "ink", it is not pure black, but a kind of dark green. It only looks black on the surface, but it is actually dark green jade.
In other words, under natural light, Mo Cui does look dark and ink-like, but after turning on the light, it is different. In fact, it is dark green.
Moyu has the word "jade" in it. As the name suggests, it is not jadeite. It is a kind of Hetian jade.
Hotan jade can be roughly divided into white jade, topaz, sapphire, black jade, and green and white jade.
Among them, black jade is the most valuable, as black as pure lacquer and as moist as mutton fat.
For Shen Yu, there is no need to look at jade and jadeite. A nephrite and a jadeite can be distinguished by just the feel of the hand.
Shen Yu continued to smile modestly: "This junior has only studied jade, so how can he be said to be incredibly talented? Mr. Zheng, you have to praise me."
Zheng Congyun waved his hand, "It is a good thing for young people to be modest, but it is not good to be too modest. My friend, you are not only amazingly talented in antique appraisal, but your character is also extremely good.
I feel that you are very similar to Gu Kaizhi. Gu Kaizhi's nickname is "Hutou", so some people call him "Gu Hutou". He is also honest, kind and helpful, and does not care about other people's ridicule and teasing.
And he does things calmly and does not take shortcuts. For example, when eating sugar cane, many people eat the sweetest ones and discard the ones that are not sweet. However, Gu Kaizhi eats the sugar cane from the point where it is not sweet.
In this way, the more sugarcane is eaten, the sweeter it becomes, hence the allusion to "Getting Better".
His interest gradually became stronger, and the more he learned, the better he became, and the more he learned, the stronger he became, and his connections spread all over the world. That's why Gu Kaizhi achieved great success later.
My friend, you have a kind heart, and your appraisal skills are even more impressive. Your future is boundless."
Shen Yu could not stand being praised so much by seniors in the industry, "Mr. Zheng, you are over-praising me. How can a younger generation compare with a legendary figure like Gu Kaizhi?"
Perhaps because he was tired, Zheng Congyun slowly sat down on the wooden chair, "If you were not a colleague who opened an antique store, I would have paid for your pair of jadeite, but you opened your own antique store, and now the price of jadeite is high. , it’s better to maximize your profits. Just find a customer to sell these Mo Cui friends.
"Causes and consequences are all determined by fate. Good people are rewarded. I saw it on the spot today. It can be said that you are really lucky." Zheng Congyun stroked his short beard under his chin and laughed heartily.
Shen Yu was not polite. He put down the ink in his hand and started to roll the painting. Although this so-called authentic painting by Gu Kaizhi is a modern imitation, it should be a work from the 1920s and 1930s. It is almost a hundred years old. It is hung on the There is no problem in selling it for 10,000 yuan in the store.
After tying the painting rope, Shen Yu realized that there were too many antiques for him to carry. There was an emerald paperweight, an inkstone on one end, and now there were two more ink emerald axes and a huge hanging scroll.
However, this is not difficult for Shen Yu. On a shelf not far away, there are various packaging boxes, paper bags, cloth bags, and even painting boxes, printing boxes, etc. of different lengths, exquisite patterns, and different materials.< /p>
These are packaging boxes customized by Wanbaolou. They have Wanbaolou's logo on them, which is the word "Wanbao" in seal script.
Shen Yu secretly sighed, "Wanbaolou's business is doing well. Not to mention anything else, the sense of ritual and luxury of these packaging boxes is eight blocks away from other antique stores."
Since Zheng Congyun, the big shopkeeper of Wanbao Tower, has told him to take the jade and paintings back, then it wouldn’t be too much to take a few more packaging boxes, right?
Thinking of this, Shen Yu quickly walked to the shelf and took out a jujube wood painting box and three cloth bags.
Now that he has taken them all, Shen Yu is not polite. They are all the most beautiful and sturdy ones.
Not to mention, Wanbaolou is really willing to buy these small items for packaging antiques. Take the cloth bag as an example. Shen Yu doesn't know what materials are used. He probably won't be afraid of carrying a heavy object weighing 200 to 300 kilograms. Rotten.
Seeing this, Zheng Congyun gave a bitter smile, "Xiao Shen, you have made a big profit out of my Wanbao Building. I also have to put up a few packaging boxes. The jujube wood painting box you took costs more than 800 yuan." ."
Shen Yu chuckled, "Mr. Zheng, I came to your Wanbao Building to buy antiques. You might earn me dozens of eight hundred yuan later."
Zheng Congyun must have the kind of temperament that likes to support his juniors. Hearing this, he burst out laughing again, "Xiao Shen, with your eyesight, I'm really afraid that my Wanbao Building will be missed by you."< /p>
Shen Yu keenly discovered the details in Zheng Congyun's words. He was talking about "my Wanbao Building." Is it possible that Mr. Zheng has a cooperative relationship with Dong Pengcheng and Mr. Dong, or that he has a large proportion of shares in Wanbao Building?
"Hey, little friend, your square Duan Inkstone is pretty good. Can the old man take a look at it?"
