Chapter 857: Dushan and Jade Sea
…
In the suite of the Xiangjiang Hilton Hotel, Chen Bangda, who is nearly 90 years old and still healthy, is holding a list of antiques that will be displayed tomorrow and frowning slightly.
After a long time, he sighed, put down the documents in his hands and said to an old man with a slightly pudgy figure in an indigo jacket next to him: "It seems that we lost this competition again!"
The short and fat old man nodded with the same wry smile and said: "Yes! ... Alas, we lose every year. If the superiors had not insisted that we take the overall situation into consideration and strengthen the relationship between the two parties, I would not have wanted to participate in this Laoshizi exchange meeting!
...I was puzzled. It has been more than four years since Xiangjiang returned to China, and the army has been stationed there. How can it escape? Why does our collection association have to come here to feel cowardly!"
Seeing the growing anger on his companion's face, Chen Bangda couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
The exchanges between the antique collection associations of the two sides were established in the 1980s. Just like the famous Sino-US 'table tennis diplomacy', the country also hopes that domestic official or non-governmental organizations can cooperate with major groups in Hong Kong
Strengthen exchanges between the two countries so that people in Hong Kong can understand the mainland and reduce the turmoil caused by the return of Hong Kong.
Originally this was nothing, but what can be exchanged through exchanges between collection associations?
In addition to competing for their respective appraisal abilities, there is of course also an exchange of collections between the two parties, commonly known as the ‘baby fight’!
The originally huge Chinese collecting world was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There were countless rare and rare treasures collected by the private sector. There was no need to worry about a small place. But the bad thing was that the turmoil in those ten years destroyed the four olds and looted most of the precious antiques from the private sector.
, in addition to most of them being smashed and burned, the remaining parts have flowed into major national museums, and those that are still in private hands are basically hidden deeper, and they dare not take them out again!
Therefore, from the 1980s to the present, almost every year the mainland loses in the treasure fight!
Of course, this is the case. In addition to the reasons just mentioned, the main reason is that domestic private collections have just emerged, and the wealthy are far less interested in investing in art than they were later.
Therefore, the collection associations in the Mainland can only be supported by a group of appraisers who have a little money and earn a little money by picking up leaks on Taobao.
Far from being like Hong Kong, the developed economy and the collection of Chinese and foreign artworks have filled the collection rooms of many wealthy people with precious artworks.
Taking out a few at random is better than destroying the mainland for ten years.
For example, this time, Mr. Chen and the others had prepared a Ming Dynasty imperial kiln's 'Blue and White Haitao Dragon Pattern Large Plate' as the finale! Originally, they thought they would win this time!
As a result, I only received news in the past few days that the Xiangjiang Collection Association’s final antique is a ‘Song Dynasty Ge Kiln Sunflower Mouth Plate’!
If this news is true, then they don’t need to participate in this treasure fight, and they will definitely lose!
Thinking of the contemptuous looks in the eyes of those people in Xiangjiang every time after losing a treasure fight, even Mr. Chen, who is nearly 90 years old, feels a little angry in his heart!
"Let's think of a way...!"
As soon as Chen Bangda finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
"Teacher, I'm back!" Following the voice, Fu Kun strode in with a happy face.
When he saw the pudgy old man sitting next to Chen Bangda, he quickly stepped forward to say hello, "President Yan, I didn't expect you to be here too?"
"Haha, I'm here to discuss something with Mr. Chen! Hey, Liu Dong? Why are you here?" Looking at Liu Dong who followed Fu Kun in, Yan Yushan couldn't help but said with surprise.
"Xiaodong, are you here?"
Because Fu Kun blocked his view, Mr. Chen did not notice Liu Dong coming in at the first time, but as soon as Yan Yushan finished speaking, Chen Bangda had already stood up.
"Mr. Chen, President Yan!"
Liu Dong stepped forward quickly and said.
He is familiar with Mr. Chen, and he also knows Yan Yushan, the president of the Domestic Collection Association.
"Xiaodong, aren't you in the United States? Why did you meet this brat?" Mr. Chen, who looked surprised, came up and took Liu Dong's arm and said.
"I just took a flight back to Hong Kong from the United States yesterday, mainly to do some company matters. As for Brother Fu, haha, we met while walking on Hollywood Road. I heard that Mr. Chen and everyone were there
Here, come and see me!"
"Hollywood Road?"
Being in the antique shop, Chen Bangda naturally has a deep understanding of the three major antique streets in Xiangjiang!
"How is it? Have you gained anything?" Mr. Chen's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Liu Dong's arm and said impatiently.
Forget it for ordinary people, but Liu Dong is different. This kid has been in the industry for less than two years, and he has picked up hundreds of treasures, and more than ten can reach the national treasure level. Regardless of luck or strength, in the country
All young and middle-aged collectors, and even many collectors of the older generation, are top-notch collectors. It just so happens that the Collecting Association is encountering difficulties in this treasure hunt, so Mr. Chen has some expectations for Liu Dong inexplicably.
Even Yan Yushan next to him couldn't help but look expectant. He had heard about Liu Dong's abilities for a long time. If he could provide a priceless antique now, then their winning rate in this treasure fight would be great.
increase.
But Liu Dong hadn't spoken yet, and Fu Kun next to him couldn't help but said: "Teacher, Liu Dong and I found a treasure this time!"
"Really? Show me quickly!" Chen Bangda, who originally just asked casually, became more interested.
After agreeing, Fu Kun quickly put the cardboard box he was holding in his arms on the coffee table next to him, and then carefully took out the authentic Wang Yuanqi he just bought from it, and unfolded it bit by bit on the coffee table.
Mr. Chen is a master of calligraphy and painting, nicknamed "Chen Banchi". He can tell whether a painting is genuine or not by just unfolding it half a foot. At this moment, he can almost understand at a glance that this painting is that of Wang Yuanqi, one of the four kings of the early Qing Dynasty.
The original "Leisurely Living in Lakes and Mountains"! It is also a masterpiece among Wang Yuanqi's paintings.
Normally, Mr. Chen would be extremely happy if his apprentice could receive such a fine painting from the Four Kings.
But now, after seeing the entire painting, Mr. Chen couldn't help but show a trace of pity on his face.
And the one with the same expression as him was Yan Yushan next to him.
It is indeed a pity, because although this painting is good, it will not be helpful in tomorrow's treasure fight.
"By the way, Xiaodong, where are the antiques you picked up?" Thinking of Liu Dong behind him, Mr. Chen's originally depressed mood perked up again.
"Me?" Liu Dong, who didn't expect the topic to shift to himself so quickly, was slightly surprised and then realized, "I bought a Yushanzi!"
"Yushanzi? Where is it?" As he said this, Yan Yushan, a domestic jade appraiser, immediately became very interested.
"It was too big and inconvenient to hold, so I put it in the car when I came up!"
As soon as Liu Dong finished speaking, Yan Yushan couldn't help but said: "Quick, bring it up and show it to us!"
"Yes, yes, go and get it, go and get it!"
Seeing the two old men in such a hurry, Liu Dong felt puzzled and had no choice but to turn around and go downstairs to get his Yushanzi.
However, in comparison, Fu Kun felt a little depressed! Originally, he thought that he had picked up a precious Wang Yuanqi painting and could show his face in front of the master and get a few compliments, but then he thought that the other party looked at it for a minute
Before he arrived, he diverted his attention and didn’t even say a word!
However, facing two respected elders, Fu Kun did not dare to say anything even though he felt resentment in his heart.
Not long after, Liu Dong came back again holding a huge cardboard box!
After placing the cardboard box on the ground and opening it, among the messy stuffing materials was a crystal-clear piece of high-quality Wada Tamagoyamako!
If the quality and color of jade are enough to make anyone who sees it move, then its poor carving is enough to make anyone who knows how to appreciate jade frown.
"How come there is such a thing? Such good materials are really wasted!" After reading for a while, Chen Bangda couldn't help but shook his head.
Although he is proficient in calligraphy and painting appraisal, he is also proficient in jade appreciation, but the carving of Yushanzi is really unflattering. Even anyone who doesn't know much about jade appraisal can see that its artistic value is real.
limited!
But what surprised everyone was that Yan Yushan did not deny the value of this Yushan Zi from the beginning. Instead, he frowned tightly, as if he had encountered some difficult puzzle, and later took out a magnifying glass.
, and began to observe carefully and carefully from Yushanzi bit by bit.
Seeing him like this, several people looked at each other and no one said anything to disturb him!
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Bangda understood more or less that this Yushanzi was probably not as ordinary as they imagined, otherwise his old friend who has devoted his life to jade appraisal would not have the expression he has now.
Thinking of this, Mr. Chen waved to Liu Dong.
Then the three of them left the living room and walked to the adjacent bedroom to stand there. Mr. Chen asked, "Xiaodong, how did you get this Yushanzi?"
After hearing this, Liu Dong and Fu Kun looked at each other, and the latter said: "Master, Xiaodong bought this from Ren Quan of Jinbao Pavilion. Is there any problem?"
"It's not a problem, but it seems like you got something amazing this time, Xiaodong!"
"Something incredible?" Liu Dong repeated!
Of course he knew it was something extraordinary, but he knew nothing about its origin.
"Well, usually even if you come across a first-class cultural relic-level jade, Lao Yan can complete the appraisal in no more than 10 minutes. Now almost twenty minutes have passed, but there are still every result. This shows that your jade mountain
The child is not an ordinary thing!" After saying this, Mr. Chen's face showed a look of reminiscence, "The last time I saw Lao Yan like this was when the 'Dushan Dayuhai' was born more than ten years ago!"
