Chapter 230 Treasure Fighting in the Treasure Pavilion
Of course, Liu Dong was not fooling around. During the Guangxu period, national capital developed and society was relatively stable. This short period of prosperity was called the "Tongguang ZTE" by historians.
Therefore, the porcelain firing in the Guangxu period was more outstanding than that in the Xianfeng and Tongzhi eras. Jingdezhen official kilns have greatly improved both in quantity and quality. A notable feature of the blue and white porcelain in Guangxu official kilns is that they imitate Kangxi , Qianlong blue and white porcelain. High-quality imitations have approached or reached the level of Kangxi and Qianlong porcelain, and most of the works have obvious Guangxu characteristics.
Therefore, in addition to the sky-high price of porcelain from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, the price of porcelain from the Guangxu period is not low in the current cultural relics market.
Liu Dong's blue and white jade vase with entwining branches and lotus pattern is a fine piece of Guangxu blue and white porcelain. It is named "Dayazhai" and belongs to the most exquisite type of Guangxu blue and white porcelain.
Therefore, although Liu Dong's price of 200,000 yuan was a bit high, it was not an exaggeration. However, Zhang Weihan did not intend to pay such a high amount of money.
"Two hundred thousand is too high. The Guangxu Blue and White Official Kiln is not worth the price. Let's buy it for one hundred thousand. I am willing to pay one hundred thousand for it!"
After Zhang Weihan finished speaking, the people around him looked at Liu Dong with envious eyes. A blue and white porcelain vase that cost 1,400 yuan was sold for 100,000 yuan in an instant, nearly a hundred times more. The violence of antiques was fully revealed at this moment.
The stall owner who had just sold this piece of porcelain to Liu Dong himself turned red when he saw Liu Dong. If he could, he would snatch back the jade pot spring vase that Liu Dong had in his hand.
"My 100,000 yuan! It's just gone, why am I so unlucky...!" the street stall owner wailed in his heart.
But now that the deal is done, there's no point in worrying about regrets.
"One hundred thousand! Not interested!" Liu Dong curled his lips. After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
Now Liu Dong is not short of money at all, so his desire to sell this blue and white porcelain is not too strong. The reason why I said 200,000 just now is simply to stop this Zhang from continuing to pester.
"Wait!" Seeing that this rare Guangxu fine official kiln was about to leave him, Zhang Weihan was certainly not willing to give in.
"What, is Boss Zhang willing to pay 200,000?" Liu Dong half-turned around and asked with a smile.
"Me?" Zhang Weihan looked anxious, but he rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind. "Since the little brother knows me, he must also know the rules of my Zhenbao Pavilion. I wonder if the little brother is interested in participating?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong's heart moved and he turned around immediately.
"Of course I have heard of the rules of Zhenbao Pavilion."
"Since Boss Zhang sincerely invites you this time, I am willing to go and see it!"
"Okay! Little brother, you are really quick to speak, please!" Zhang Weihan said with great joy. In his opinion, young Liu Dong had no hope of winning at all.
"It seems that this time, you can get this fine blue and white porcelain from the Guangxu official kiln without spending a penny!" Zhang Weihan thought to himself.
"Alas, this young man is so ignorant that he was deceived by this man named Zhang again!" There were many old people in the crowd who had been hanging out in the antique street for many years. After seeing this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"Yes, a fine blue and white jade pot and spring vase from the Guangxu official kiln 'Dayazhai' has a market price of more than 100,000 yuan. What a pity!"
…
Everyone was talking, and with some intention of watching the excitement in their hearts, they surrounded Zhang Weihan and Liu Dong and walked towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Because Zhang Weihan was still quite famous in the Quancheng Zhenbao Pavilion, after the news spread, many people were already crowding in front of the Zhenbao Pavilion to watch the fun.
"What's your last name, little brother?"
"I'm Liu Dong!"
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Liu!"
"I don't know what Brother Liu was doing before. Zhang has been in the Quancheng antique market for many years, but he doesn't seem to have seen Brother Liu?"
Faced with Zhang Weihan's provocation, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Before I just set up a stall outside the antique city to sell some wood carvings, it's not as big as Boss Zhang who runs the Zhenbao Pavilion and has a big business!"
Hearing this, Zhang Weihan breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he was a little more confident this time.
"Here we are, this is my Treasure Pavilion. Brother Liu, please come in!"
Regarding this place, Liu Dong had passed by the door several times before. Although he had never come in, he was no stranger to this place.
After following Zhang Weihan and walking in, Liu Dong discovered that the area on the first floor of Zhenbao Pavilion was not small, covering more than a hundred square meters. As soon as he entered the door, there were two rows and six rows of long boxes on both sides of the middle aisle.
There are a dazzling array of bronzes, paintings, calligraphy, and miscellaneous items on it, probably no less than two or three hundred items.
Around these long cases, there are four ancient racks about four meters long and two meters high placed against the wall on the east and west sides. They are divided into four levels. On the shelves are placed porcelain of various sizes and shapes.
In the innermost part of the first floor, to the left is a counter, and in the middle to the right is the stairway leading to the second floor. There are some large pieces of porcelain near the right corner of the stairway. Bai Yushanzi
objects like that.
"Brother Liu, let me tell you the rules again. As long as you can pick out three real things from the items on the first floor, then they belong to you! If you pick the wrong thing...!"
"If I make the wrong choice, then I will give you this exquisite blue and white jade pot and spring vase from the Guangxu official kiln!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, Zhang Weihan smiled and nodded, "That's right! And the time limit is four hours. If you haven't picked one out within four hours, then you still lose!"
"I have no objection to this rule, but what if by chance I get it right and you don't admit it?" This is a habit Liu Dong has developed over the years.
"You don't have to worry about this, we will vouch for you!"
Following the sound of voices, three old men with different looks but the same high spirits walked out of the passage that the crowd outside the door gave way to.
"Young man, your Guangxu official kiln blue and white piece is pretty good. You'd better take it back, otherwise it won't be worth it if you lose to this cunning guy named Zhang!" The person who said this was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and speaking.
An old man with a majestic look on his face.
"Mr. Wu, you can't undermine me. I am doing this as you wish. We decide the outcome based on our true abilities. How can we be cunning!" Zhang Weihan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although he was ridiculed by others, he did not dare to lose his temper with the old man. In addition to the fact that these three parents were his parents, Zhang Weihan also had a much tougher background than him.
"Yes, young man! It's too late for you to leave now, otherwise you will lose later and you will regret it without this Guangxu official kiln!" The person who said this was standing next to the majestic old man, wearing an old-fashioned placket.
Old man in long gown.
Of course, the main reason why they were thinking about Liu Dong was that Liu Dong was too young. His appraisal skills at such a young age must not be that high. Against Zhang Weihan, they would naturally have only one lose.
"Thank you two old men for your kindness, but if you don't trust someone, you won't stand. Now that you have agreed, you can't regret it beforehand!" Liu Dong said after cupping his hands.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Weihan was naturally overjoyed.
"Oh, I didn't see it, but you are quite talented! Well, since you said so, we won't stop you! But if you lose later, don't cry!"
After finishing speaking, the majestic old man glanced at Zhang Weihan and continued: "As for the subsequent judgment, you don't have to worry about it. We are here today. As long as you really win, then naturally let him surrender obediently."
"Mr. Wu is serious. I have never refused to admit my fault before!" After saying this with a wry smile, Zhang Weihan turned to Liu Dong and asked: "Little brother, can we start now?"
"Of course!" Liu Dong nodded.
However, it is not very convenient to hold this Guangxu blue and white piece in my hand.
"Little brother, why don't you just let us take a look at your jade pot and spring bottle? I'm sure there won't be any problems!" At this time, the one among the three old men who had never spoken before noticed the look on Liu Dong's face.
After the change, he said next to him.
"Okay!" After a brief consideration, Liu Dong nodded and agreed. Compared to leaving it with Zhang Weihan, having three old men watching made him feel more at ease.
Later, after Liu Dong handed over the Guangxu blue and white flower in his hand, he signed an agreement with Zhang Weihan. What was said verbally was destined to have no legal effect. Only by putting it on paper can both parties truly feel at ease.
While the three old men were admiring this rare fine blue and white porcelain from Guangxu's Dayazhai, Liu Dong had already started his treasure hunt.
But this time, he really never thought of relying on his own true abilities, but directly released his powers.
"It's true that there is no evil and no business!" Liu Dong cursed in his heart when he noticed the gray and lifeless works of art all around him.
"But no matter how cunning you fox is this time, you can't escape from my hands!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
However, although he could easily find the three antiques with the help of his superpower, in order to make himself look as normal as possible, Liu Dong still started from the beginning and did not go straight to the three antiques as soon as he started.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Liu Dong walked up to Zhang Weihan, and then said with a look of shock in his eyes: "Boss Zhang, please stand up."
"what?"
"Because the Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchair under your butt is one of the three authentic antiques!"
After listening to Liu Dong's words, the old man surnamed Wu next to him laughed and said: "Haha, Zhang Weihan! The old man wanted to buy your armchair last time, but you refused to sell it. Now you have been recognized!"
At this moment, Zhang Weihan also had a look of disbelief on his face. In order to prevent others from noticing the authenticity of this armchair, he had just sat on it and placed it next to the counter. If ordinary people would bet with him, they would definitely
When choosing among thousands of antiques, he rarely notices the chair he is sitting on. And this is also taking advantage of the misunderstandings in ordinary people's thinking. Unfortunately, Liu Dong is not an ordinary person! (To be continued, please search for Piaotian literature and novels.
