The buyer really couldn't figure out why Lao Liang called the young man Teacher Chu. Could the young man still be an expert? But what did he think, and he felt that it was impossible to have such a young expert, but what if the other party was an expert? Then I am not Lao Liang shook his head and said regretfully: "Speaking of Lao Chen, didn't you watch Beijing TV's "Collection of the World" during the Spring Festival?" "I also watched one episode" He just finished speaking Speaking of this, the buyer thought of who Chu Chen was, which immediately made him dumbfounded. It took him a while to come back to his senses. Then, he thought that since Chu Chen could take a fancy to the pen holder just now, its value must not be low. Thinking of this, his heart ached as if a knife was piercing his heart. Seeing this, Lao Liang patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Old Chen, since you have missed it, don't be sad. Besides, it is better to miss the opportunity when buying antiques than to miss the opportunity, otherwise you will be unlucky. Well, even if you do it, you may lose everything." The buyer nodded with a sad face, and now he could only comfort himself in this way. Lao Liang then said: "Also, you should also learn more about the experts' information in order to avoid things like today happening next time." The buyer sighed. This time he suffered the loss of not being familiar with the experts. , if he knew that Chu Chen was an expert who had appeared on TV, he would never give up the pen holder no matter what. ¡°It seems that I need to watch more treasure appraisal programs in the future and get to know more experts!¡± the buyer said. "Yes, but now some experts are just pretending to be real, so you have to pay attention to this aspect!" Lao Liang reminded him again, but he didn't expect it. At this time, my friend was focused on the pen holder he missed just now, and did not hear this sentence at all. Lao Liang¡¯s friend had a somewhat extreme personality. From then on, he paid special attention to the judgment of experts and never thought about the level of experts. As a result, not long after, he suffered another big loss and almost went bankrupt. Of course, this is something for later, let¡¯s not mention it for now. Where Xiao Ma lives now is not too far from the antique market, and it only takes fifteen minutes to take a taxi. The group of people got out of the car. Xiao Ma quickly invited Chu Chen and others into the room, and then diligently made everyone a cup of tea. Seeing that Xiao Ma was going to get the fruit again, Chu Chen said quickly: "Xiao Ma, stop working and take out the things quickly. I have something to leave later." Chu Chen didn't mean to lie when he said this. Xiao Ma, he had received a call from the porcelain capital in the taxi, saying that there had been a major breakthrough at the kiln factory and that the research was about to be successful. He asked Chu Chen to go there as soon as possible if he had time. Hearing such good news, Chu Chen was extremely happy and immediately promised to go there as soon as possible. Consider going to Porcelain Capital from Star City. It is only accessible by car, and you have to take the bus in the morning to get there at night. Chu Chen was going to take the train there. Although the train still needed to be transferred, at least there was no car so it would be tiring. "Okay, I'll get it now" Xiao Ma quickly ran to the back room and took out the things one by one. There were four items in total that Xiao Ma brought out first, which were a pair of copper car pipes from the Warring States Period. There are also bronze Arhat statues from the Ming Dynasty, and ebony inlaid jun porcelain pen licks from the Qing Dynasty. These things are the same as the previous Shi Sou copper vase. Judging from this point, they also use the wrong silver craftsmanship. These things must have been collected from the same place. It is possible that the original owner liked to collect mismatched silver objects, so these things of different ages and styles were brought together. Among these four things, the most valuable thing is the pair of copper car tubes, one long and one short, which can be combined and disassembled. The tube body is gilded with silver over a large area and is very well preserved. It can be used according to the more curved edges. It is known that the bottom edge of the groove has been carved after casting. In terms of the carvings of bird patterns, the patterns are complex and varied, and there are many patterns of bird patterns. Some have gorgeous crowns and feathers, with their heads held high, and some have twisted feathers and the overall length becomes longer, showing the skillful artistic attainments of the caster. Cars and car decorations are symbols of status and power during the two-week period, and are one of the important rewards in the ordination system seen in bronze inscriptions and Zhong Dingwen. Such a sophisticated vehicle pipe represents a high standard. In addition, it is well preserved. Chu Chen thinks that the current market price should be around 60,000. The other Arhat statues are also made with exquisite craftsmanship, but due to poor preservation, their value is lower than that of the car, about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. The remaining brush strokes are made of a piece of Song Jun, inlaid with ebony, and follow the shape of the lotus leaf. The veins are made of staggered silver wire, which is vivid and full of life. It can be said to be a masterpiece of literary works. But because the pen lick is not big, the value is the lowest among these items, only about 30,000. These fourAlthough these things were not so-called treasures, they were relatively rare artifacts. After Chu Chen saw them, he decided to buy them as long as the price was right. At this moment, Xiao Ma carefully carried out a large black-glazed plum vase with peony patterns that was more than fifty centimeters tall. Seeing this, Chu Chen stood up with a "whoop". If he read correctly, this should be a work from Cizhou Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, but he didn't see it at all among the previous Cizhou Kiln products in the Northern Song Dynasty. How could he not pay attention to such a big Mei Ping! Seeing that Xiao Ma was struggling because he was worried about the safety of Mei Ping, Chu Chen and Zuo Shan quickly stepped forward to help, and the three of them carefully placed the bottle on the table. Afterwards, Chu Chen didn¡¯t care about anything else and just admired the plum vase first. This plum vase has a rolled mouth, which is unique only to the Northern Song Dynasty. The shape of the vessel is full, upright and straight. The whole body is fully glazed, ending at the feet of the vessel. The feet are wide and flat, with no glaze on the soles, and the texture is meticulous. The shoulders and abdomen are decorated with carved patterns and are divided into two layers, separated by double lines of mysterious patterns. The shoulders are decorated with curly grass patterns, and the belly is decorated with twining peony flower patterns. The leaf patterns are finely carved and highly layered. This vase is large in shape, solemn in shape, elegant in decoration, full in composition, and distinct in layers. It should be a treasure among black-glazed carved porcelain. Moreover, it is not easy for this bottle to be preserved so well after almost a thousand years. It can be said that Chu Chen already liked it when he saw it for the first time. Seeing that Chu Chen attached great importance to this plum vase, Xiao Ma said proudly: "Teacher Chu, I finally saw this plum vase from a rural family when I went to Yan Province. The owner said it was something handed down from his ancestors, but he still refused to sell it, so I had to persuade him and give him all the money I needed to buy the house, so he agreed. "Xiao Ma, you are very lucky." Chu Chen praised it with a smile. , he didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with what Xiao Ma said, because let alone an expert who was proficient in antiques, even an ordinary person would know that this was a treasure and the price would definitely not be cheap when he saw such an item. While admiring the plum vase, he said with a smile: "Then it shouldn't be easy for you to transport things from Yan Province to Star City." When Xiao Ma heard this, he sighed: "How could it be easy? I wanted to transport it in the first place. When I got to Star City, I tried my best. I didn't even sleep in those days to take care of it. When I got back to Star City, I lost at least five pounds. " Chu Chen saw the pony sighing. From the appearance, I knew what he said was not an exaggeration. Although this plum vase looked quite stable, if it was in a car, it might fall over with any vibration. Not to mention falling, even a small chip would have a great impact on the value of the plum vase. In this case, Xiao Ma cannot be too careful. Xiao Ma went on to say: "Actually, if it weren't for the fact that this plum vase is so valuable that I would be frightened to keep it here all day long, I wouldn't have sold it. Otherwise, according to the current antique market, the value of such an artifact will increase. It must be very fast! " Chu Chen smiled slightly. Although Xiao Ma was talking about the reason why he wanted to transfer this plum vase, in fact, there was another layer of meaning hidden in it, that is, if he bids too much. If it is too low, he will definitely not agree. Otherwise, he can just leave it at home and wait for the value to increase. So, even though Xiao Ma seems to be an honest person, if he can be in the antique business, he must not be simple-minded, otherwise he would have been eaten by others and no bones would be left. Of course, for Chu Chen, he would buy the plum vase even if it was at the market price. In addition to what Xiao Ma said about the huge room for appreciation of the plum vase, he also considered the shape and workmanship of the plum vase. In terms of aspects, I saw another layer of meaning. Chu Chen first gave Xiao Ma a reassurance: "Xiao Ma, we can definitely discuss the price, but can you let me take a look first?" "Okay, we'll talk about the rest later" Chu Chen took out the appreciation Tools, after carefully looking at the inside and outside of the plum vase without sparing any detail, we can finally determine that this should be an authentic product from the Cizhou kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also a rare treasure. Chu Chen took a long breath, pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Ma, please give me a price!" "What do you think of this number?" Xiao Ma raised his palm. . Of course, Chu Chen couldn't think that Xiao Ma was talking about fifty thousand or five hundred thousand. He just shook his head and said: "Xiao Ma, I admit that this plum vase is indeed rare, but five million is too high. Let's Even if you compare it with a large auction, it is impossible to get such a high price. "Youdao is asking for a lot of money, and he will pay it back. Even if Chu Chen thinks that five million is not expensive, he will still have to pay it back."The price has to be high, otherwise if he agreed so readily, it would be easy for Xiao Ma to change his mind. After all, it's not like just now, it's only twenty-five thousand. Chu Chen's ability to counter-offer means that he is indeed interested in this plum vase, and the price does not scare him. This makes Xiao Ma very happy, thinking: "Now I can finally say goodbye to my daily life of fear! "(To be continued)
