Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters have everything
The estimates above range from one million to several million, and there are none with estimates below one million, except for this B-grade white jade carving.
After all, the previous owner was not an ordinary person. With something worth less than one million yuan, would he have the nerve to give it to a prince as a gift? Shameful!
After counting back and forth three times to confirm that he was correct, Wang Dong's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Forty-one million? Lao Xue, have you calculated it? The estimate is already four thousand
That’s all.”
"Really?" Xue Chen nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his estimate was similar. Even if the total amount did not reach 200 million, it was still 150 million.
Wang Dong took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "What game did you play with that Sharjah prince? Also, does he still need someone to play with? You also know that I am someone else.
No, I just like to play small games, jumping rubber bands, throwing sandbags, and jumping off planes, I'm very good at them."
"You?" Xue Chen glanced at Wang Dong up and down, smiled and shook his head, "You should have seen the bodyguards beside the prince that day, right?"
"Of course I have seen it. It's hard not to see someone so big. The eight bodyguards are just like the Eight King Kongs. It's so overwhelming. If anyone wants to do harm to the prince, it will be difficult." Wang Dong sighed.
.
"Well, if you can knock down those eight King Kongs with your bare hands, I think Prince Asman will be happy to play games with you, and he won't be stingy." Xue Chen said with a smile.
.
The corner of Wang Dong's mouth twitched, and he asked in disbelief: "Are you kidding me if you beat down that... Eight King Kongs alone? Let alone the Eight King Kongs joining forces, even one on one, I will be beaten.
My mother can’t recognize her.”
"That's a pity. It seems that the prince won't play small games with you." After saying that, Xue Chen shrugged.
Today's work was not finished and continued the next day. Early in the morning, the two people started identification and numbering again.
Several times Wang Dong wanted to ask Xue Chen to come, which would be faster than this, but he still held back. He knew very well that this was for his own good and that he could increase his abilities.
Moreover, he didn't say it, but when he saw that his good brothers whose starting point was much lower than him were now beyond his reach, he felt a little unbalanced in his heart. Not to mention catching up and surpassing, he had to be able to see the tail lights and eat some exhaust fumes.
So I gritted my teeth, endured the irritability, calmed down, and made appraisals one by one.
When he opened the black leather box containing more than 40 pieces, he saw several teacups sunk deep in the soft yellow sponge. Wang Dong took out one, looked at it twice, his eyes lit up, he turned to Xue Chen and said in surprise
: "Old Xue, what do you think this is? If I read it correctly, this is the December Flower God Cup!"
"I've known it for a long time." Xue Chen glanced at one of the December Flower God Cups in Wang Dong's hand, and his eyes moved.
Of course, he had known for a long time that there was the December Flower God Cup in it. He had noticed it when he saw the two slips of paper for the first time, and he had chosen one of the three after winning a bodyguard for the first time.
One of them is the December Flower Cup.
However, the December Flower God Cup in the hands of Prince Sharjah is not a complete set of twelve cups, but a incomplete set, with only half of it, that is, six cups.
Although there are only six bottles, the price is not low. It can definitely cost several million. However, the main reason why he chose it in the first place was because of Uncle Shen!
Uncle Shen also had a set of incomplete versions of the December Flower God's Cup. He showed it to him and said that one of his biggest wishes was to collect the twelve Flower God's Cups.
When I was in the capital, I spent some troubles and finally got one of the missing three flower cups, but I still lacked the other two. According to common sense, if you want to get the other two cups to make up for December, it is not An easy thing, it can even be said to be very difficult!
There are more than one set of December Flower God Cups, but not many of them are still around in the world. There may not be even ten sets of them all added up!
There are three types of December Flower God Cups: official kilns from the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, private kilns and imitations from later generations. Of course, the official kilns are the rarest and extremely rare.
According to relevant information on the Internet, the December Flower God Cup has been auctioned no more than ten times, and they are all imitations from private kilns and later generations, and none are from official kilns!
Nowadays, it is certain that there is only one municipal museum in China that has a complete official kiln December Flower God Cup. It can be said to be a treasure. Even the National Museum and the Palace Museum have some scattered items. , there is no complete set of Flower Cups.
Shen Wanjun's collection is precisely the fine products from the official kiln. Now he has ten items, and the last two are still missing. It can be said that it is very difficult. He must have spent a lot of thought, experience and money on it. Similarly, if you want to get the last two pieces that are missing, you still have to go to the official kiln, and the chance is too slim.
That's why, when Xue Chen saw the words "December Flower God Cup" on the slip of paper, he immediately chose this one without any hesitation. Even if it wasn't for Uncle Shen, its own value was just two sheets of paper. Ranked among the vanguard on the list, even the top three!
Now he only hopes that these six pieces of the December Flower God Cup are genuine products from the official kiln. If he can have the two pieces that Uncle Shen is missing, it will be even more perfect.
Looking at the colorful cup in Wang Dong's hand, he immediately stood up and walked over, took it in his hand, looked at it twice and showed joy, and hurriedly took out the other five cups and looked at them one by one. once.
"It's from the official kiln!"
"January Plum Blossom Cup."
"March Peach Blossom Cup!"
“April Peony Cup!”
"It's the June Lotus Cup, so great!"
When he saw the June Lotus Cup endorsed by Xi Shi, Xue Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, because now the two Flower God Cups that Uncle Shen lacked were the June Cup and the October Cup!
"There is June, but is there October?"
He secretly prayed in his heart that there must be one. If there was, then he would be able to fully understand Uncle Shen's biggest wish in collecting.
"September, October..."
When he took out the last Flower God Cup and saw the inscription on it, Xue Chen felt so happy that he almost jumped for joy.
"Fragrance and lingering rain, beautiful scenery and clear smoke, what a poem, what a poem!"
Holding the October Hibiscus cup, he read aloud a poem written in small letters on the cup, and Xue Chen's whole face was filled with smiles.
Wang Dong on the side was a little confused. Even if Xue Chen told him about the Flower God Cup, he had already forgotten about it. He didn't know why Xue Chen was so happy all of a sudden. of.
Holding the June lotus cup in one hand and the October hibiscus cup in the other, Xue Chen was so excited that he wanted to call Uncle Shen, intending to tell him the good news. But as soon as he took out the phone, something suddenly occurred to him. It’s Uncle Shen’s birthday in a few months...
Thinking of this, he had an idea and gave these two flower cups to Uncle Shen as birthday gifts.
After carefully looking at the six flower cups, I even used the ability of Jade Eyes to confirm that they were genuine products from the official kilns of the Kangxi period. Only then did I feel completely relieved and put them back in the black suitcase.
"Old Xue, what happened just now? You were so happy all of a sudden?" Wang Dong asked confusedly.
"Well, it's like this..."
Xue Chen talked briefly, and finally told Wang Dong to be stricter and not to spread this matter.
"That's right. Boss Shen is really lucky. Are you planning to send it out on his birthday?" Wang Dong blinked and smiled, "I'm even worried that Boss Shen will faint from excitement."
"Don't talk nonsense, Uncle Shen has never seen anything." Xue Chen said.
"Hey, even if he doesn't faint, I think he is definitely happy. He might be so happy that he could marry his daughter to you with a wave of his hand. That would be a great story." Wang Dong chuckled again. laugh.
Zixi? Xue Chen also naturally flashed in his mind to get a woman who seemed to have walked out of an ink painting. She had the temperament of a lady during the Republic of China. She was graceful and charming, and her every move and smile was so unique. Once, she had just entered Daxing. At the time of the pawn, in his eyes, she was almost at the level of a fairy floating on the clouds.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and continue. We must complete all appraisals today."
After restraining some of his thoughts, Xue Chen glanced at Fatty Wang with a mean smile on his face, said something, sat back on the chair again, and watched Wang Dong continue to do the appraisal with bitter laughter.
The two people spent a whole day, and finally, when the sky was dark, they finally completed the appraisal of all 68 antiques from the distant Kingdom of the United Arab Emirates, identified the authenticity, marked the numbers, and conducted valuations.
"No. 068, Qing Dynasty Qianlong pastel blue and gold painted flower poetry wall vase. Well, if you say it is fake, I would not believe it to death. The flower painting is delicate, delicate and cute, and the white glaze is as smooth as gelatin. It must be a master. It is made by a top-notch craftsman and is estimated to be four million. If you pay a penny less, you can’t even think of touching it..."
After finishing the appraisal of the last piece, Wang Dong felt a little exhausted, his eyes were straight, but he felt something else in his heart at the moment. After a day and a half of hard work, he carefully examined more than sixty antiques. Appraisal, there is a vague feeling of a different kind, as if suddenly enlightened, just like playing online games in college, fighting wild boar monsters all night, and finally leveling up...
The sixty-eight pieces of antiques cover almost all categories, including porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade, wood carvings, ancient coins, gold and silverware, it can be said that there is everything you can think of, and there is nothing you can’t find.
The number of fakes is still acceptable, no more, no less, five in total.
"Who is this? You are so brave that you dare to give the fake to the prince? If you are found out, aren't you asking for trouble? Or are you bullying the prince of Sharjah who doesn't know the goods?"
Regarding the identification of five fakes, Wang Dong complained rather bitterly.
Xue Chen guessed that maybe Prince Sharjah didn't even know that there were fakes in these collections. Maybe he only took a look at them when he received the gifts, and then put them in a warehouse to eat dust forever, without caring about the authenticity at all. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given it to him so generously. (To be continued)
