"Xiaodong, you have good eyesight! If I'm not mistaken, this should be an imperial snuff bottle from the Kangxi Palace Building Office. It is rare now. What's even more rare is that this piece is very well preserved. Basically
There is no damage." He said after a pause, "I think I only saw one similar to yours in the Palace Museum, but the appearance was not as good as yours!"
After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong couldn't help but secretly admire him, because the identification result on the orb in his mustard space was exactly the same as what the old man said, it was exactly the 'Bronze body painting and enamel lotus pond snuff bottle made by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty'
!
"Haha, since Lao Li said so, then this thing is right. Xiaodong, you have found a treasure this time!" Uncle Long sitting aside said with a smile. Liu Dong was like a nephew in his eyes.
Seeing him pick up a big leak at this moment, the old man was naturally happy for him.
"Mr. Li, I just spent fifty yuan on this thing from a street stall. I would like to ask how much it is worth now?" Liu Dong touched his nose and said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Although he knew that this thing was very rare and wanted to collect it himself, Liu Dong also knew in his heart that to collect, you must first have capital, which in layman's terms means money. And now what he lacks most is money. So.
After hearing Mr. Li tell the origin of this snuff bottle, Liu Dong had the intention to sell it.
Moreover, now that he has the power in his eyes to rely on, he believes that he will definitely be able to pick up good things on Taobao in the future. Good antiques and treasures, even national treasures, will definitely be in his hands, so if he can sell this treasure snuff
If the pot is exchanged for a sum of money, Liu Dong is still very willing.
"Fifty yuan?" Mr. Li's face was filled with surprise. "Then you have really picked up something big now. Most of the high-quality snuff bottles on the market are from the Qianlong period, and there are relatively few from the Kangxi period. Like the one you have in your hand.
There are even fewer of the same high-quality pieces like this. A conservative estimate would be that the price should be around 2.5 million, and it might be even higher if it goes up for auction, but after deducting the handling fee, it’s not much different!”
"Two million and a half million!" Although he knew before that this thing might be worth a lot of money, when he actually heard this number from Mr. Li, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After all, growing up, the largest sum of money he had ever seen was less than one hundred thousand. One million is an astronomical amount to him now, and two and a half million is often a figure of wealth.
He is really too far away. But now he only needs to sell this snuff bottle he picked up for 50 yuan, and he can immediately get 2.5 million. This can't help but make Liu Dong, who has experienced too many hardships in life,
My heart completely lost its previous peace.
"Looking at your future, isn't it only 2.5 million? As long as you study carving well, you can earn this amount of money in two or three years!" Uncle Long, who was sitting aside, was also a little surprised by this snuff bottle.
of high price.
However, although he does not belong to the antique business, he is still very clear about the huge profits in the antique business. And seeing Liu Dong's expression, Mr. Long was also afraid that after he suddenly gained such a large sum of wealth, he would lose his career in sculpture.
Perseverance and determination to make progress. This is really not worth the gain.
After hearing the old man's words, Liu Dong took a deep breath, and soon the expression on his face gradually calmed down.
Seeing him like this, the two old men looked at each other and couldn't help but smile and nod secretly. They had seen too many people completely lose their minds in the face of huge wealth, so much so that brother Xiao Qiang and father and son turned against each other.
Liu Dong's performance undoubtedly made them take a high look and truly recognize the person in front of them. Especially Mr. Li, it was only now that he really appreciated Liu Dong. At this time, Uncle Long really made a decision in his heart.
"Xiaodong, if you are not in a hurry for money, don't sell this thing yet. There are not many high-quality snuff bottles from the Kangxi Dynasty Manufacturing Office handed down. In addition, the current antique and art market is bullish, so
This object would be very good to collect by yourself!" Mr. Li said.
After listening to his words, Liu Dong's heart also moved. To be honest, he also likes to collect. He really likes this Kangxi copper body enamel snuff bottle.
But in the end, Liu Dong shook his head firmly, "Mr. Li, thank you for your kind words, but I still decided to sell it!" With this money, not only can he achieve his goal of opening a store in the antique city,
, and he can also bring his parents and sister from the countryside to the city to enjoy the blessings!
After hearing what he said, Mr. Li and Uncle Long didn't say anything else. They could see that Liu Dong had made up his mind. If he tried to persuade him again, he would be annoying!
"Well, since you said that, I won't say anything more!" After a pause, Mr. Li continued: "If you can trust me, then I will find someone to come and take a look tomorrow. He likes it very much.
For this kind of object, I believe the price he will pay will definitely not be as low as at auction!”
"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Liu Dong said gratefully.
"Old Li, are you talking about Mr. Zhao, who is known as 'Qian Duoduo'?" At this time, Uncle Long, who was sitting aside, lowered his head and thought for a few minutes before suddenly asking.
"Yes, it's him!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Uncle Long couldn't help laughing at first, "Haha, Xiaodong, you are going to make a fortune this time!" After a pause, "Remember tomorrow, three million is stuck.
Don't let go, Mr. Zhao is the chairman of Huatai Group, and 18 million is nothing to him, so don't be polite!"
After listening to Uncle Long's words, Liu Dong couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although he usually focused on learning sculpture and rarely watched TV, he still knew about the famous Huatai Group.
For this company, it has just been rated as one of the 24 large-scale backbone enterprises by Dongshan Province this year and one of the 20 well-known brand enterprises cultivated by the provincial government. It is also the largest newsprint production base in the world.
Ranked 3rd among the top 500 most competitive enterprise groups. It is a large group covering papermaking, chemical industry, printing, thermal power, forestry, logistics, business services and other industries, with total assets of no less than 10 billion. As the chairman of the group, you can imagine him
He must be so rich. He really deserves the title of 'Money a lot'!
After listening to his old friend's words, Mr. Li couldn't help but smile.
The shopkeepers of various shops in the Quancheng antique market are almost familiar with Zhao Defa, the chairman of Huatai Group, because this self-made rich man, like all people who rise from the grassroots, loves collecting. Of course, his collection is not like that of a rich man.
Most people in the circle are so arty, but I really like it.
But this person has one shortcoming that is not considered a shortcoming, and that is that he likes to pick things up on Taobao, but his eyesight is not good, so he often spends tens or even millions of money, and more than 95% of the things he buys back are fakes.
.
But even so, for Zhao Defa, who has a lot of money, the money he lost from collecting is only a drop in the bucket, and it does not affect his interest in Taobao. Although he has suffered a lot, he still enjoys it. So for several years
After coming down, this person also got the nickname "Qian Duoduo" in Quancheng Antique Market!
