"Oh my god, brother, how did you know there was a painting in here?" Lan Hai couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I want to know. I'll teach you later. Now let's go get the house settled first." Qiao Meng said.
In fact, he doesn't know how to explain it clearly now, so he might as well just say it in a mysterious way. It doesn't matter anyway, and he will basically forget it after a long time.
Afterwards, the two of them quickly settled the matter of the house, and spent nearly 10 million on Qiao Meng. What they bought was not a huge and luxurious villa, but a relatively small one.
Xiao Qiaomeng was finally able to settle down. He directly called Li Qiang and asked him to come to Kyoto for handover.
"Hey, Li Qiang, I'm going to give you a task now. You must do the best you can when I officially set foot in this place." Qiao Meng said.
"Okay, I understand." Li Qiang agreed without saying anything.
Now is the time to prepare to attend the antique conference. Qiao Meng feels very happy. He can't wait to enter the venue to compete with others. He is also looking forward to what powerful treasures will appear.
The biggest advantage of participating in this competition is that you can get close contact with antiques that are not available on the market.
Since the venue used for the competition was the same as the Stone Gambling Tournament, it was easy to know how to walk in. He still knew his way very well and was not a road addict.
After completing the registration, we went to the venue. The antique competition was the same as the national finals of the Stone Gambling Competition. Outsiders were not allowed to enter. People who wanted to watch the competition could only watch it live.
"First of all, I feel very honored to have you here and welcome our contestants." The host said on the stage.
Many people at the scene also felt that they wanted to enter the competition quickly. The host seemed to understand what everyone meant, so he announced: "I announce that the competition has officially begun. Please go to your place according to your identity card.
."
Qiao Meng was holding No. 99, while Bai Du and Lan Hai were holding No. 80 and No. 50 respectively. Basically, there was no advantage in terms of numbers, and there was no obvious disadvantage.
The beginning of the competition is still the same. Each person has a treasure, and then submits its identification results. In addition, an appraisal is required to see who has a higher level and the most solid foundation.
"The main test of this competition is what kind of achievements you have made in the field of antiques. The time is thirty minutes. The appraisal results are accurate and the smaller the difference in valuation, the higher the ranking." After the host finished speaking, the competition started.
The real beginning.
An exhibit rose up from the booth. Qiao Meng saw that what he had was just a bowl and felt that it was not very interesting, but he immediately picked up the bowl. In any case, it was a treasure, and he had to appraise it first. Originally, the bowl was a treasure.
The probability that one of them is a unique treasure is not high.
When Qiao Meng touched the bowl with his hands, his thoughts changed. He did not expect that this was actually a hidden object.
"Qing Yongzheng Meiyintang Collection Enamel Ping An Chun Letter Picture Bowl" is the name of this bowl. Although it is very long, it does not affect its own value.
This bowl is round and round, with a peace picture painted on it with extremely bright and rich colors, describing the happy scene of the Spring Festival. The painting workmanship of this picture is extremely exquisite, and the depiction of the characters is even more wonderful and lifelike.
If this is the case, its value is around 40 million, and the treasure appraisal power gives an estimate of 46 million.
The so-called enamel color is actually a kind of colored glaze that transplants the technique of painting enamel onto the porcelain body.
Its characteristics are also very clear, the tire wall is extremely thin, even and regular, and the bonding is tight. On such a tire quality, the glaze is extremely fine, the glaze color is extremely white, and the surface gloss of the glaze is not as shiny as orange peel glaze, liang glaze, and there is no brown eye phenomenon.
It can even be said to be a “perfect” product.
Generally, the first thing to identify this kind of enamel is to look at the porcelain body. The porcelain body is thin, repaired regularly, and intact. Basically, they are small pieces, and those larger than one foot are rare.
Then we have to look at the shapes. Basically, they are small pieces of daily porcelain such as bowls, bottles, tobacco bottles, and animal ornaments.
Next, observe the base glaze. The correct one is pure white glaze, neither green nor yellow, and the glaze surface is extremely smooth without any flaws.
Then I saw the color of enamel. Basically, the colors are extremely bright but very soft. They are rarely pure colors but pink-type coupling colors. There are many kinds of colors, and at least seven or eight kinds can be seen on the same object.
It’s not surprising that there are more than ten or twenty colors.
It also depends on the characteristics of the color. Each pattern is made of a variety of colors. The surface of the color will have a glassy reflective feel and is very smooth.
Sometimes it may reflect Harry's light beautifully. Moreover, this glaze will protrude from the base glaze by about one millimeter. The three-dimensional effect can be seen relatively clearly, and you can clearly feel it when you touch it with your hands.
If you put it under a magnifying glass of about ten times, you can even see that each small flower has a very small opening pattern. This is an even more valuable feature.
The painting skills of this enamel painting are very particular. They are basically fine brushwork paintings, which are different in each dynasty. During the Kangxi period, the enamel colors were basically red, yellow, blue, green, purple and rouge.
its main color.
One thing that needs to be noted is that the enamels made during the Kangxi period had no flowers or birds, and the color mixing was worse than those during the Qianlong and Yongzheng periods.
To say that the more mature stage of enamel color is the Yongzheng period, which not only made breakthroughs in craftsmanship and richer colors, but also used white ground painting during this period, which can better highlight the gorgeous colors of enamel color.
Moreover, the enamel paintings of the Yongzheng period basically used landscapes, bamboos, rocks, flowers and birds as scenery and matched them with corresponding poems, etc., which looked particularly chic and elegant. Another special feature of this period was monochrome painting, which was very popular at the time.
.
I didn’t expect that it looks like a colorful bowl, but it is so rich in interpretation. Especially the painting skills are even more amazing. Such a picture can actually accommodate so many things, and if viewed alone, it looks like a painting.
Just like ink painting, it is extremely beautiful.
It is no wonder that its value is so high. Things are rare and valuable. Enamel color disappeared in the late Qing Dynasty. It is also because its production process is too complicated and not easy to make, so it has not been passed down.
Today's porcelain bowls still have the shadow of enamel in them, but their craftsmanship is not as exquisite as enamel.
After Qiao Meng sent in the identification content, he directly filled in the appraisal of the treasure appraisal ability. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Even if he wasn't number one, he wouldn't be eliminated directly.
Nowadays, there are a lot of discussions about him on the entire live broadcast network, and many people who have never watched the Stone Gambling Competition do not know his existence, let alone how powerful he is.
"Master Qiao looks very calm, maybe he will be the top player again this round." One audience member said.
"I also think Master Qiao is really an all-rounder." Another audience member acknowledged.
"Master Qiao, being great in the stone gambling world does not mean that you can go smoothly in the antique world. Even if you are not eliminated in the early stage, it will not be so easy later." Some viewers who were not optimistic about Qiao Meng said.
Tianlao Tianlao in Deyilou is also paying attention to Qiao Meng's situation and thinks it is relatively stable. In the early stage, there is no worry that he will be directly eliminated. Even in the later stage, there is not much to worry about.
At least I haven't seen anyone who can match him. It can be said that this competition will be a personal show game, and others are destined to become Qiao Meng's background.
There are many people in the arena who don't know Qiao Meng's reputation. They only know that it is not easy to reach the national finals. As for what level he will reach, it is unknown.
And now Qiao Meng's online votes are not the highest, only around the seventh or eighth place. They are still the fans who are betting on the stone competition and come to watch the antiques conference when they are idle and bored.
Needless to say, Baidu was only ranked 36th in terms of votes. Although these votes have no effect and do not affect the trend of the game, it is undoubtedly a good thing for them that can add fuel to the flames in their hearts.
The one in Blue Ocean is even lower, ranked around No. 70. Most of them come from the Stone Gambling Competition, and they don’t have many new fans.
"Okay, the time has come. Everyone, please put the treasures in your hands back to their original places. Wait for ten minutes and we will announce the results. Fifty of you players will be eliminated in this round.
I’ll be leaving soon,” the host said.
After that, the three people who had nothing to do sat in a daze at their positions and could not leave their positions at will. The treasures were also returned to their original places from the exhibition stand. They should have been escorted back to their original places.
Among the three, Lan Hai is the least confident that he can win because there are too many experts here and the pressure is very high.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the host returned to the stage, took the microphone and announced: "After the unanimous appraisal results of our organizers, the first place in this round belongs to Mr. Qiao Meng, No. 99, let's
We congratulate him. His identification and analysis are very clear, and the valuation is miraculously accurate. The treasure he came into contact with is enamel, worth 46 million."
Qiao Meng couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that he won so easily and perfectly, and it was exactly the same. The estimate given by the treasure appraisal ability was also too accurate. Maybe this was God's will.
In this round, Baidu still wants to rank 24th, but Blue Ocean is in more trouble. It is only ranked 60th. It can be said that it is on the edge of the next two rounds and needs to work harder.
Many people were surprised by this result, because the name Qiao Meng was really unfamiliar. They didn't expect that he could win the first place in the first battle in one fell swoop. From this moment on, his fans really increased, and most of them were
