Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 52 Valuation
Seeing the fat man's heartbroken look, Da Jinya comforted him: "Don't worry too much, Fat Lord. In fact, these two pieces of moth-body and chi-pattern double-walled biscuits are made of ordinary materials, but the focus of this thing is historical value and appreciation value. This point is something we can operate. This moth body shape means that moths rush to the flame without hesitation. The ancients highly admired this heroic spirit of sacrificing one's life to death.

"As for the Chi pattern, it has the effect of warding off evil spirits on antiques. Not long ago, a tomb of a Ming prince was unearthed in Mujiashan, Yunnan, which is the Mu Yingmu prince under Zhu Yuanzhang. There is a pair of 'Jade Double Chibi' in his tomb, and The pair in your two hands is similar, they are medals, military medals and the like, and they must be hung on both sides of the helmet to be valuable.

"And look again, there is a name on it, 'Guo Zima'. This is the name of the general of the Jin Kingdom you mentioned. It is said that this man was the marshal Zuo Dujian in the late Jin Kingdom. He was killed while defending the city. It took 10 taels of gold to get his body back from the Mongols.

"When we find a buyer, let's increase these additional values, and emphasize the rarity of the pair, and the price can still be picked up..."

The fat man immediately responded: "I see, just like those who sell ducks stuffed with stones, add more weight and weigh the scales!"

Da Jinya had a complicated expression: "You said that... you're right!"

Hu Bayi sighed: "Grandpa Jin knows a lot, and he really is the number one scholar. It sounds like a scripture to me. It seems that we brothers really need to learn a lot, so as not to be fooled by the fight. "

Da Jinya waved his hand and said, "Hey! It's nothing serious! When the opportunity arises, I'll go to the countryside to collect things, and you two will follow me too. Learn from these little bastards, and we'll fight together in the future." At least a million dollars."

Hu Bayi asked again: "In your opinion, what is the most valuable in this bucket?"

"That's it! Foreigners named our country porcelain, because our porcelain became famous abroad because of the earliest exchanges between east and west on the Silk Road. Those porcelains made in the most glorious period, no matter the craftsmanship or the modeling concept, are not Now the craftsmanship is comparable. For example, Chenghua porcelain, if you take any piece back, it will be priced in millions." Da Jinya said.

Xiao Ran thought to himself, this is also this era. In his era, a Chenghua porcelain bowl the size of a wine cup was sold at an auction house for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Da Jinya went on to say: "It's a pity, I heard you said before that the porcelain from Savage Ditch, you haven't paid attention to it, otherwise..."

As he was talking, Xiao Ran opened the pocket at his feet with a smile, and placed the porcelain inside on the table one by one.

Da Jinya's eyes became wider and wider, and when the three plain-looking Chinese porcelain vases were finally placed on the table, Da Jinya's face turned red and then white.

But he still clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Thanks to you bringing Master Xiao this time, otherwise it would be a pity!"

Compared with the red and white of the big golden teeth, Fatty's face was alternately black and purple.

"Grandpa Jin, let's estimate the price! How much are these porcelains worth?" the fat man asked.

Da Jinya rubbed a celadon bowl carefully, without raising his head, he said: "After all, these Song porcelains were buried with a general. Broken flower bowl, the asking price is at least 40 yuan! Adding these seven or eight Song porcelains together, it is conservatively estimated at 400 million..."

With a "click", the moth-body and chi-patterned double jade in Fatty's hand fell to the table.He quickly picked it up and looked at it distressedly, but luckily it wasn't broken.

"Master Jin, take a look, what's the price for these three Han~ci?"

Xiao Ran deliberately elongated Han's voice, and looked at Da Jinya with a mean smile.

Da Jinya smiled "hehe" and said, "Master Xiao, if you want me to say, you should keep these three in your hands first. Han porcelain is Han porcelain, but it may not be able to sell for a high price."

Hu Bayi heard this, and asked with great interest: "How do you say this? They are all porcelain, so don't they get more valuable as they get older?"

Da Jinya said: "Although this Han porcelain is called porcelain, its craftsmanship is in the transition period between pottery and porcelain, and its ornamental and artistic qualities are too poor. But the research value and historical value of this thing are not the same as the porcelain of later generations. It's comparable. Therefore, Lord Xiao, I personally suggest that you sell Song porcelain for money, and Han porcelain is worse than buying fame."

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and asked, "Buying a name? How should I say it?"

"Instead of selling these Han porcelains for a fraction of the price of Song porcelains, you might as well hand them in. You can donate them to museums or something. They are considered national treasures anyway. When the time comes, I will send you a pennant, award certificate or something, and hang it in the store." , national cultural relic protector, hey! But Panjiayuan, how many antique shops can get this title? This is to maximize the benefits. But no matter how small a fly is, it’s all meat, it’s all up to you.”

Xiao Ran thought about it, and what Da Jinya said was right.After a few years, the matter of Niuxinshan and Yerengou is over, and it should not be difficult for him to hand over these Han porcelains that can reach the level of cultural relics, saying that they are pickle jars collected from ordinary people's homes.

"Then the buyer should trouble Mr. Jin to find a few outsiders who are reliable and acquainted. It's best not to find the regular gangster Pan Jiayuan." Xiao Ran said.

Da Jinya smacked his lips: "That's for sure, it's the old rules. I know a few ancestors in the south who are in this business, and there are a lot of odds. I absolutely guarantee that your things will fall silent."

Hu Bayi looked at the dejected fat man next to him, poked him on the forehead and said: "Look at your bad luck! These two jade bis are worthless, but they are still in my pocket. Brother Xiao gave the money from selling porcelain to the gang The folks in Gangyingzi build roads and buy three wheels, look at your level!"

The fat man had a bitter face: "I don't care about money! I just think I'm really stupid! I really need to learn more in this line of work in the future."

On the contrary, Da Jinya bowed his hands to Xiao Ran solemnly: "Master Xiao, I really admire your level from the bottom of my heart!"

Xiao Ran suddenly remembered, since Da Jinya knew so much, why not let him look at something.He returned to the bedroom and took out the small square with engraved words in his satchel.

"Jin Ye, we also found this thing in Savage Ditch, do you recognize it?"

Da Jinya took the Tianzi square stone, rubbed and licked it again, turned it over and over and looked at it carefully for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.

"This thing, with all due respect, definitely can't be sold for money. It's just a lump. If I guessed correctly, it should be part of a seal. Although this font is official script, the material and lettering of the seal are slightly rough, and there are few The majesty, ancient charm and exquisiteness of Qin and Han Dynasties should not exceed the turbulent period at the end of Han Dynasty at the earliest. If Lord Xiao likes it, then let it be a personal collection, it is really worthless..."

As he spoke, he casually returned the Tianzi stone to Xiao Ran, and his eyes were attracted by those exquisite Song porcelains again.

What is part of the seal?Could it be the missing Chuanguo Yuxi during the Three Kingdoms period?It is engraved with "Ordered by the sky to live forever", with a word of sky.

It can be seen that the edge of the Tianzi stone is not in the right position.This fragment should be at the corner of the edge, and should be the first word on the seal in order.

What's more, the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo used He's Bi, it shouldn't be this gray and black thing with no visible material.

Just as he was thinking, Liu Shengli suddenly pushed the door open and came in, and said to him, "Boss! Accountant Zhang is looking for you. I don't look very happy..."
