"Brother Liu, I have sorted out the antiques I collected before. Do you want to take a look?" At this time, Wang Haitao standing aside said.
Hearing this, Liu Dong's eyes lit up. At this time, besides carving, he was most interested in antiques. And after absorbing so much antique knowledge from Mr. Li's notes, he really needed practical things to practice his appraisal.
level, so after hearing Wang Haitao's words, he nodded happily.
"Aren't we going down the stairs?" Liu Dong asked in surprise after following Wang Haitao and taking a few steps forward.
"Haha, after your big gamble, countless people on the first floor want to know you, the god of gambling who made a fortune of thirty million. If you want to go down and be admired by them like a monkey, then we will go down the stairs."
Hearing this, looking at the half-smile on Wang Haitao's face, Liu Dong touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Forget it!" At this time, he also knew that as these people on the second floor left, he had just
The performance at the gambling table must have spread out long ago.
Moreover, those who can come to the casino are naturally real gamblers who are just interested in gambling. Even those who come to play a few games like him will definitely be interested in spending huge sums of money gambling. Think about it, the lobby on the first floor is far more than the lobby on the second floor.
I believe that if someone hadn't stopped him, these people would have rushed up to him to take a good look at him, a new rich man who made 30 million from the gambling table.
Seeing the unnatural look on Liu Dong's face, Wang Haitao couldn't help but smile. This was the first time he saw such an embarrassing look from this young man who was so calm that he didn't even look like a twenty-year-old man.
In the Black Tiger Gang's casino, in addition to the stairs on the second floor, there is an elevator. However, this elevator is generally only used by the Black Tiger Gang's internal casino staff to transport banknotes and chips. And this elevator
At that time, Wang Haitao took Liu Dong and left the casino through this elevator.
Then after turning a few corners in the sealed corridor, he came to a safe door equipped with a password lock. When Wang Haitao entered the password in person, and then secretly took his fingerprint, and then after a soft 'click' sound, the originally tightly locked door was closed.
The closed alloy safety door cracked with a gap of only a few millimeters.
Seeing this, the Black Tiger Gang members standing on both sides of the safety door immediately stepped forward and pushed the alloy safety door open.
"Brother Liu, let's go in!"
"Okay!" After hearing this, Liu Dong, who was a little curious about this place, followed Wang Haitao and walked in.
After walking in, Liu Dong discovered that the place was not as wide and tall as he imagined. It was filled with antiques and art. The space behind the safety door was only about twenty square meters in size, and was rectangular, except for one strip in the middle.
Outside the aisle about one meter wide, there are four steel display racks about five meters long on both sides, divided into four floors.
Now it is full of things, but what makes Liu Dong feel a million is that most of the items placed on these steel display racks are not the antiques and artworks that Liu Dong is eager to see, but the gold watches.
, jewelry and other luxury goods.
Looking at the expression on Liu Dong's face, Wang Haitao couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Liu, you are playing with antiques. You know that this thing is more of a test of your eyesight. But my brothers are good at killing and playing with antiques appraisal."
I’m afraid that even Brother Liu can’t keep up with 1% of it. Therefore, the collateral we have here are basically gold, silver, jewelry and other things whose value is easy to calculate, but Brother Liu is disappointed!”
In fact, Wang Haitao only said half of what he said. The reason why there are so few antiques and art here is that he gave away a large part of them. After all, the era of giving away large amounts of money has long passed in official circles these days.
Antiques and artworks, which are both elegant, can continue to appreciate in value, and have relatively low risks, have become the best gifts in official circles. Wang Haitao naturally likes them. Therefore, Wang Haitao's art mortgaged from the casino
Most of the genuine items were given away by him, but of course it was not easy to directly report them to Liu Dong.
"Brother Wang, thank you! In fact, I'm just getting started with antique appraisal!" Liu Dongdao was not being modest, but his own true situation.
However, Wang Haitao didn't really care about this. He was more thinking about how to have a good relationship with Liu Dong. Especially when Liu Dong won 30 million from Han Lei and it was impossible to get him to join the Black Tiger Gang.
, we should do everything we can to make both parties become true friends. Otherwise, if Liu Dong's gambling skills were enough to come to his casino and gamble a few times every day, then his casino would be waiting to lose money!
Of course, Liu Dong didn't know what Wang Haitao was paying attention to. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because he has decided that he doesn't want to get involved in the casino again unless necessary. Although here, money can be made quickly and easily.
, but it’s easy for people to get addicted to it. He doesn’t want to become a pure gambler, so what’s the meaning of life? Moreover, it’s too easy to offend people here.
Under the leadership of Wang Haitao, the two of them turned a corner and came to a display rack leaning against the wall on the right side. Displayed here were the antiques and artworks that Liu Dong was interested in.
Although there are porcelain, calligraphy and painting, bamboo and wood ivory carvings, etc., there are not many items, only about twenty pieces. However, the appearance of these items has the same characteristic, that is, they are shabby. But Liu Dong does not care about these.
After all, for something that has been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, it is natural that it should not be in very good condition.
"Brother Wang, can I get started and take a look?" Liu Dong had already memorized the rules of the antique shop. Even though he knew that Wang Haitao would not refuse now, he did not forget to ask. Of course, Liu Dong had just entered White Gloves, so
Not prepared. But thinking about it, Wang Haitao wouldn't care about this.
"Haha, no problem, just take a look, brother!" Wang Pirate said nonchalantly. These so-called antiques placed here are basically damaged or not very valuable items. Even if Liu Dong accidentally broke them, then
It doesn't matter.
After receiving permission, Liu Dong looked joyful and cautious, and picked up a piece of maroon porcelain from the second layer of the steel shelf. Among all the sizes of antiques, except for jade, his favorite
It is porcelain, not only because of its gorgeous appearance and long historical heritage, but also because in carving, many templates are in the shape of porcelain.
'Carmine Orbital Pastel Bottle' is the name of the porcelain in Liu Dong's hands. Of course, he knew it thanks to Mr. Li's notebook, which contained a description of this carmine red porcelain in the introduction to the porcelain.
.
This pastel bottle, which is more than fifteen centimeters high, has a slender neck and a beautiful bottle body. On both sides of the bulging bottle body are painted the pattern of 'magpies pedaling branches', red flowers, green leaves,
The stems and branches are very vividly depicted, and the maroon bottle is carved with a smooth lotus pattern with a single line. The white glaze on the mouth and bottom of the bottle is still as smooth as new despite the precipitation of time.
It is smooth and delicate, without the slightest feeling of being pinched. In ancient times, except for official kilns, private kilns basically could not produce such exquisite things. Moreover, the engraving on the bottom of the base is "made in the Daoguang Year of the Qing Dynasty", which seems to confirm Liu Dong's
judge.
"Brother Liu, how do you like this piece of porcelain?" Wang Haitao asked.
"Good stuff, it looks like it should be a fine product from Daoguang Nian's official kiln!" Liu Dong said as he looked at the bottle in his hand with admiration.
"Haha, Brother Liu really has a good eye. However, although it is a fine product from the official kiln, it is unfortunately not very valuable! It would be great if it came from the Kangxi or Qianlong dynasties!"
Listening to Wang Haitao's words, Liu Dongdao didn't say anything. The current domestic porcelain collection, especially the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, the porcelain of the last three dynasties, that is, the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, is better than the official kiln porcelain of other dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.
, it’s simply not the same level in terms of price.
For example, if this piece of carmine track pastel porcelain was from the official kiln during the Qianlong period, people would be competing for it even if it cost four to five million. But if it were to be replaced by the Daoguang official kiln, it would only cost hundreds of thousands. This is
It's the difference.
There was no way, who told the later Qing Dynasty during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods that both the economy and the overall national strength were on a decline. Naturally, the porcelain firing at this time could not be as sparing as it was during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, which naturally resulted in the decline of porcelain firing.
With the decline in the production level, there are fewer and fewer genuine high-quality porcelains. The price has naturally dropped.
