Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

The man walked slowly and leisurely to stall No. [-].

He squatted on the spot and said, "Boss, can you get started and take a look?"

"Casual look!"

"it is good!"

In response, the bowl was held in his left hand. When he touched it with his right hand, there was a high-power tube mirror in his hand.

Needless to say, he looked very professional: he first looked at the glaze, then at the mouth and feet, then at the flowers on the wall of the bowl, and finally at the pattern on the bottom.

The process is basically correct. Li Ding'an usually sees it this way, but this person is too perfunctory. It doesn't feel like watching, but acting according to the script: For example, the red dot on the foot circle. If you are an expert, you will definitely study it carefully and see. Is it a natural flaw when it comes out of the kiln, or is it a trace left by aging later.

But the man simply ignored it, turned the bowl over, and looked at it.

There must be nothing wrong with the style, a typical "Xianfeng official kiln regular style style". The man seemed to think there was nothing wrong with it, so he knocked it again.

"Dong dong..."

The sound is a bit muffled, not like the crisp "dang" sound made by ordinary porcelain, but it is normal: because the bottom of this bowl is thicker.

But he seemed to have discovered something wrong, his eyes shrank, he brought the bowl to his ear, and tapped the bottom again.

"Boom thump... thump thump..."

After going back and forth three times, the man's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly had a sudden enlightenment, and he smiled meaningfully: "How much?"

"One hundred..." The seller raised his index finger, thought for a moment, and then did not stretch out the remaining four fingers: "Ten thousand!"

Li Ding'an was speechless: Let me ask, your minimum is 150 million, but the effort to turn around is reduced by one-third?

You see I’m young, right?

"It's too high!" The man shook his head, "Lower it!"

"How much?"

"Subtract zero and fold it in half!"

How much is this?

The seller made the calculation, and then his eyes almost fell out, "Fifty thousand, what are you talking about?"

"It's not that I'm talking nonsense, but..."

The man paused for a moment and stood up, "Forget it, you can keep it!"

"Wait?"

The seller grabbed his sleeve and said, "Speak clearly!"

He is a bit reckless and his attitude is not very good, but it is not strange: the man behaves so professionally, anyone would think: Is the object from the official kiln worth [-] yuan, or is it the enamel painting?
The man smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "You're so bad at low temperature!"

fart……

The seller was furious, and when the curse words came to his lips, he came to his senses: as long as the whole communication area knows about it, it will be difficult to talk about it in the future. Anyway, there is no way to sell this thing today.

After enduring it for a while, he glared: "Get out!"

The man was not angry, shook his head, and left the stall.

Li Ding'an turned around and looked at the bowl on the box again: Is the low temperature of the wool connected to the base?

This bowl is rightly called the Four Flower Bowl, because there are four flowers painted on the wall of the bowl. If it is more accurate, it should be called the Zhezu Bowl: it is half shorter than the tall bowl.

Also called a pouring bowl, it is usually used to scald wine.When using it, you have to keep adding boiling water into it, and the bowl must be thick enough, otherwise your fingers will be burned.

The shape of the vessel is relatively rare. Even if collectors and players recognize it as a painted enamel bowl, they don't know its specific purpose.If someone says "the bottom is added later" again, they will definitely doubt it: is it true or false?

Just like the seller, as soon as the man left, he picked up the bowl and turned it around to look at the bottom.

Just as he was watching carefully, another man came over. Li Dingan took a look and had no impression. He should not be the same as the man before.

After reading it, I asked about the price: 80!
Good guy, just drop it by 20?

This person was probably an expert. He shook his head and put down the bowl immediately.

For a moment, the seller became suspicious again. He bent his knuckles and knocked on the bottom of the bowl: "Dong dong...dong dong..."

Is this... starting to doubt?

Looks pretty smart?

After having fun for a while, Li Dingan put down the lacquer sculpture and moved to the next door to the four-flower bowl.

The seller was more enthusiastic, said hello, and took out another maza from under his butt.Just as we sat down, another woman came over.

Just before, he pointed at Li Ding'an and called his companion an idiot.

Still careless, still looking left and right, he walked slowly to stall No. [-].

"Boss, how did you sell this bowl?"

"80 million!"

"So expensive?"

Surprised, she picked up the bowl, dug into her bag, and found a bright flashlight in her hand.

Just like what you see in the usual video, it is the standard action for experts to look at jade and jade. The woman puts the flashlight against the wall of the bowl and blocks the external light with her hands.

Suddenly, a halo of light appeared on the glaze.This method is more professional. If you have been playing with antiques for ten or eight years, no one will think so.Because it is all based on experience, the average collector will not be able to tell the reason even if the aperture is shown.

The seller was immediately shocked and cheered up.

The woman was very serious. She put the bowl down after almost two or three minutes, and then shook her head.

No...what do you mean?
"How about it?"

"Not so good!" The woman curled her lips, "The skin is too thin, it's not even worth [-] yuan!"

fuck me?

You mean, something new?
"Do you know how to read it?"

"Hey...if you don't want to hear it, then don't ask?"

The woman looked disdainful, got up and left.The seller was a little confused: The person just said it was a low-temperature connection, but this time the leather case is too new?

see the hell?

He picked up the bowl again, followed the example of the woman just now, turned on the flashlight and pushed it against the wall of the bowl.

However, his expression became even more confused.

Li Ding'an almost laughed out loud: He looked like a double-knife, no wonder the group used him as a mallet.

It wasn't appropriate to keep blocking other people's business, so he got up and moved to another place.He didn't go far, so he walked around in a circle, wondering who the third person coming would be, whether it was the younger one who was about to fight with him just now.

This time it was a little longer, almost 10 minutes.During this period, two people came over and asked. This time the price was reduced significantly. The seller directly reduced the price to 60.

But those who come here are basically looking for bargains. Even if they think this thing should be worth so much, they still shake their heads.

The seller even muttered: This is the real price, why are you still shaking your head?
Is there really something wrong with my bowl?
Just as I was doubting myself, the third person arrived belatedly.Li Ding'an instinctively narrowed his eyes: he thought it was that young man, or one of the two older men among the five. Unexpectedly, it was Director Zhou?

The process is roughly the same. First, take a look around, ask a few knowledgeable questions, and then move to this stall. It does look like a normal buyer.

Someone sat down in front of him, and the seller felt that he was able to do it again, and he cheered up: "Just take a look!"

"Okay!" Director Zhou replied with a smile and held up the bowl.He can read very quickly and his techniques are very skillful, so he should have some basic skills.At least it's not all about acting like the previous two.

After watching it for five or six minutes, he still tried the same thing. He asked the price first: "How much does it cost?"

"Eight...no, 60!"

"what?"

Director Zhou did not shake his head, but he sighed.

"what happened?"

"nothing!"

How many times have you had fun?
Feeling annoyed, he stretched out his hand, ready to get the bowl back.

But before he spoke, he suddenly paused: Not far away, an old man was strolling leisurely, strolling leisurely.But the netizens who set up the stall were extremely enthusiastic:
"Professor Zhou, are you not in class today?"

"Roll break!"

"Look at this piece of mine, it was you who appraised it!"

"no thank you!"

"Professor Zhou is free someday. I have another one here. Can you take a look at it?"

"There are regulations. You can't just watch outside. You can sign up for the audition normally..."

Listening to the voice, this old man is also an appraisal expert at the cultural fair?

"Boss, who is this?"

"You don't even know Professor Zhou? He was a former researcher at the Forbidden City, and later taught at the Cultural Relics MBA Training School of the National People's Congress. Although he is retired now, he is even more famous."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Li Ding'an was shocked: Why don't I recognize the researcher from the Forbidden City?
Listen to the second half of the sentence: It turns out that you were transferred away early, and you went to teach again?

Um, MBA?

This is really not easy to evaluate. It is the same in every university, including Beijing University...

Saying hello along the way, Professor Zhou looked left and right, and Director Zhou even waved: "Dad, come and see!"

The seller's hand retracted with a whoosh.

"what?"

"The four-flowered enamel bowl...look, Xianfeng official kiln?"

"what?"

Professor Zhou adjusted his glasses, glanced at the label, and said again: "Let's go!"

When he arrived at this stall, he said six words from front to back: what, eh, oh, let's go...

But the seller's heart skipped a beat: What do your "eh" and "oh" mean?
"Wait a moment...Professor Zhou, I know you: I was originally planning to find you, but when I registered, I was assigned to Expert Du..."

The seller quickly took out a cigarette. Professor Zhou waved his hand and pointed to the "No Smoking" sign on the pillar: "You say it!"

"I just want to ask you: This is the Xianfeng official kiln, right?"

"Sorry, there is a rule: we cannot conduct secondary appraisals of antiques in the venue without official authorization!"

What the hell...why did it become a secondary appraisal?
The seller's face turned green: I didn't see it right the first time, I need to read it again before I say this...

And I didn’t even ask, “Was the previous expert’s opinion correct?” I only asked, “Is it the Xianfeng official kiln?” But you didn’t even dare to nod?

Combined with his expression and tone when talking to his son before, doesn't it mean: This thing has nothing to do with Xianfeng...

The seller was in a hurry and asked, "Professor Zhou can't look at it. How about Professor Zhou?"

"He can't watch either!"

"You really can't watch it!"

Director Zhou stood up and raised his feet. He hesitated again and said in a lower voice: "Should we sell it for [-] yuan..."

"Have you lost your mind?"

Before he could speak neatly, Professor Zhou slapped him hard on the shoulder, "Let's go!"

You mean, it’s not worth even [-]?
His mind was buzzing, and everyone took four or five steps before the seller came back to his senses and chased after him with the bowl in his arms: "Professor Zhou... Oh no, Professor Zhou, please leave a phone number... Zhou Professor, don’t worry, it’s not about this, it’s about something else… It’s true, I promise…”

His face was full of anxiety, as if he wanted to kneel down. Director Zhou seemed to be unable to bear it, so he reluctantly handed over a business card.

If you take a closer look, you will see that he is a small leader in a certain enterprise in Beijing.

"Thank you, Professor Xiao Zhou... and thank you, Professor Zhou..."

He was busy saying words of gratitude, and he didn't know how to beg. Li Ding'an vaguely heard Director Zhou say: After Xuantong!

After Xuantong, wasn't it the Republic of China? Where did the official kilns come from in the Republic of China?
Ha, they are all right: the base is low-temperature, the coating is too thin, and it is Xianfeng style. It must be something from a private kiln during the Republic of China... Such a thing is only worth [-] to [-] yuan.

If it is an ordinary buyer, let alone three or four, even thirty or forty, they will all talk about the same problem. At most, the seller will be suspicious: Is there really something wrong with this thing?
But there is a real expert among them, and he is also a very well-known and authoritative expert.When he opened his mouth, it was like giving this thing a death sentence.

Sellers only see ghosts when they are not in a hurry. The more anxious the seller is, the easier it is to take the bait.As expected, the next time Director Zhou reluctantly agrees to meet with him, he will introduce him to a new buyer.

The bid will definitely not be too high, it is estimated to be around 20 to [-] yuan.

What, you said the seller won’t be fooled?

Please refer to Qianlong's "Songyang Han Cypress Picture".

Of course, the risk of smashing it is not small: if by chance, the seller comes across the bowl again later, and takes a second look: 60 yuan was appraised by Professor Zhou. He must have gone crazy to see a ghost.

That’s why Professor Zhou is in such a difficult situation...

The movement was a bit loud this time, and he came back as if he had lost his soul. The seller next to him asked curiously: "Brother, what's going on?"

The seller was shocked and gritted his teeth: "Damn it, the audition expert made a wrong appraisal..."

"Ah... are you going to find him?"

"How many are you looking for? That bastard hasn't been here for many days. They say he underestimated and bought at a low price. He was arrested after being reported..."

Besides, this time it was not an underestimate, but an overestimate. How to find out?
If you don’t look for it, there is still an identification certificate to hide the details. If you do, it is estimated that this certificate will have to be taken back...

Li Ding'an was shocked: Is there really such an expert?
While he was busy making up for classes these days, he didn't pay much attention to the exhibition, and indeed he hadn't heard of it.

But this made the seller even more anxious: Those who can set up stalls here have all been to the audition site, and many know Professor Zhou, so there are definitely many people who have just paid attention to this place.

There is no need to be like Li Ding'an, who has good eyes and ears, but he was so close and basically heard everything.He only needs to hear a sentence or a half, rather than say "eh" and "oh", and then pass it around randomly, it depends on his luck whether he can sell this bowl for fifty or sixty thousand...

On the other hand, thinking about it, the items written down in those people's notebooks were probably all appraised by "experts who were said to have been taken away."

Tsk tsk, one move after another, or a series of moves?
While sighing, Li Ding'an narrowed his eyes: That young man, the one who was preparing to fight with him before, is now standing at stall No. [-], pretending to look at a painting.

I can't hear anything, but my eyes will glance here from time to time...

Li Ding'an was stunned: Good guy, how can there be any risk of doing something wrong?

Wait for this guy to come over and give you 30 yuan. Do you think the seller will sell it?

This is a red heart, prepared with both hands: if you want to sell it, everyone will be happy.If you don't want to sell it, it won't be too late for Director Zhou to come back.
