My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 322: Pictographic Ambassador of Yunwu Village

"If you want to invest in antiques, you have to be careful. If you don't know how to do it yourself, it's best to ask someone you trust to help you.

Note that you must be someone you can trust.Even if the other party is a well-known appraiser, driven by profit, it is possible to cooperate with others to deceive you. "Fang Xing said to Yuanyuan and the others.

There are many pitfalls in investing in antique works of art. If it is an ordinary person, Fang Xing would definitely advise him not to play.

Try not to play short-term buying and selling.

Investing in antique works of art is about future value-added potential, and it is not suitable for short-term buying and selling. Short-term entry and exit profit margins are very limited. If you can operate from a five-year or ten-year investment perspective, you will be more comfortable.

Of course, if you have the ability to pick up leaks, then there is nothing wrong with quickly changing hands.

Investors should also pay special attention to antiques that are too unpopular or too popular.

The antiques you invest in are too unpopular in the market, so the opportunity for value-added will be relatively slow. For example, large copperware is an item that is not easy to circulate.

As for antiques that are too popular, because the market is very popular, the price has been chased high, and it is not easy to fall in the short term, such as ancient porcelain and resource collections.

In short, there is a lot of learning here, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words.The more prudent thing to do is not to play.

"Understood, we will pay attention." Xia Yu and Yuanyuan beauty said quickly.

"That's fine, let's take a look at these things! If you like them, I'll tell you about them."

The two of them were not polite, even Xu Qing reached for a box, opened it and found it was a four-leaf clover necklace, and the gems on it were good things at first glance.

Yuanyuan was attracted by a pink cup, and soon, Xu Qing's gaze was also attracted.

Sure enough, many women have no resistance to pink things.

"Wow! What kind of jade is this? Why is it pink?" Xu Qing also saw such a beautiful antique for the first time. If sister Yuanyuan didn't hold it, she would have paid for it and brought it home.

"It's not jade, it's carved from hibiscus stone, a type of pink crystal." Fang Xing said popularly.

Hibiscus stone, transparent or translucent, is a type of crystal that belongs to the family of colored gemstones.The fracture is shell-shaped, greasy and lustrous, generally pink.

It is best if it is rich in color, pure in texture, strong in luster, and free of lint.

Generally speaking, hibiscus stones are very pure, but some hibiscus stones also have white cotton wool with low transparency like tendons, which are distributed in the clean crystals of hibiscus stones. It is called "White Arrow Road".

The one in front of me has a very good texture and high transparency.

Such materials are already valuable, plus top-level carving.The hibiscus stone moonlight cup in front of me is quite precious and belongs to the treasure of the former court.

"How much is it worth?" Yuanyuan asked.

"My estimate is about 100 million! If it is auctioned, it may be higher."

"Then pass it on to me, can you?"

It can be seen that the two women present like this hibiscus stone moonlight cup very much.Hearing that Yuanyuan wanted to pay for it, Xu Qing was a little disappointed.

"Brother Fang, make an offer."

She is not poor, and she also knows that Fang Xing will not cheat her so much money, so she will not bargain for a while.

"Don't worry, I have a suggestion." Fang Xing suddenly thought of something.

"What proposal?" Yuanyuan and Xia Yu were both stunned for a moment, with doubts on their faces.

"I think Brother Xia and Sister Yuanyuan have a good image. Would you like to be the pictographic spokesperson of our Yunwu Village? If possible, let's not talk about money or fees. You two can do whatever you want in these things." Pick five pieces." Fang Xing suggested.

Xia Yu and Yuanyuan looked at each other, this is not a disadvantage!

It doesn't take much effort to be a pictographic ambassador for a tourist area, and potential stocks like Yunwu Village are also worthy of their pictographic ambassadors, and their image will not be damaged.

Besides, the cup like the one in front of me is worth millions.If you pick five pieces, it will be about 500 million.

Xia Yu first agreed: "I have no problem! It's also my honor, signing a lifetime image endorsement is fine."

On the other hand, Xia Yu is also willing to get closer with Fang Xing.

The beauty Yuanyuan didn't think much about it, and nodded, "I'm fine too."

Although she has just arrived in Yunwu Village for a few days, she also likes this place, and it seems that it is not bad to be the pictographic ambassador here.

"Okay, Brother Xia, Sister Yuanyuan, you can choose whatever you want."

In fact, if you sell it directly, it's just a small amount of money, Fang Xing doesn't think much of it.So, I simply came up with such an idea, let's continue to invest in the tourism industry in the village!
Xia Yu picked up something: "I want this, it seems to be a pen wash, right?"

"That's right, this is a pair of emerald peaches and mother washes. It's something from the Qing Dynasty, and it's also a court item. It's a little bit more valuable than the one that sister Yuanyuan just had." Fang Xing nodded.

I saw that the utensil was carved as a double body wash, one big and one small, carved from two peaches, which were born on the same branch, resembling a son and a mother.On the side of the two peaches, not only a pair of pomegranates and a pair of bergamots grow respectively, but also a magpie stands respectively.

Such fine carvings were rare in ancient times.Moreover, the intention of carving is novel, and it is a brain-hole carving.This kind of antiques are very popular in the market.

Moreover, this is the work of Zhu Yongtai, a famous jade carver.

I believe that many jade lovers know the name of Lu Zigang, a master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty, and the Zigang plaques he made were imitated by later generations, but in fact, in the thousands of years of jade culture in China, there are many famous jade carving masters like Lu Zigang.

Zhu Yongtai, a court jade carver, is one of them.

Zhu Yongtai has many works handed down from generation to generation, and today they are all rare treasures.

For example, Dayu controlled the waters of Yushan Mountain, and the jade was carved into steep mountains, waterfalls and rapids, ancient trees and pines all over the mountains, and deep and mysterious caves.On the cliffs, groups of laborers are digging mountains to control the water. This scene is the story of "Xia Yu's Water Control".

Yushan, the water control map of Dayu of the Qing Dynasty, is the jade carving handicraft with the most extensive materials, the longest transport route, the longest time, the most expensive, the most exquisite carving, the largest shape and the largest momentum in the jade treasure house of China. It is also the largest jade carving in the world. One of the famous jade carvings.

The carving of this work is a great feat in the history of Chinese arts and crafts, and it is also an unparalleled art treasure and national treasure.

Fang Xing told Xia Yu that there must be room for appreciation in the future, so try not to make casual moves.

Xia Yu was overjoyed and nodded frequently. He liked this treasure very much, but he was reluctant to sell it.I don't lack that little money for the time being, so it's better to keep it for my own collection and leave some family heirlooms for future generations.

"Don't worry, I plan to keep this treasure as a family heirloom." Xia Yu said.
