The Book of Appreciation
Chapter 108 San Donato's Antique Store
Seeing Wu Di's resolute attitude of checking out, Song Ying was quick to think, and said:
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhong has already paid ten days' room fee, and it will be very troublesome to refund! And now the hotel in Milan is really full, I have already called my friends to ask when I was eating!"
"Full?"
Wu Di tilted his head and looked at Song Ying, with a hint of teasing in his smile. He came from a business background. He has never seen or heard of such a thing. How can he not know what this girl is thinking?
Song Ying felt guilty after being watched by Wu Di, and quickly changed the subject.
"Luxury items are on sale now, isn't Mr. Wu going to buy some souvenirs for his girlfriend?"
A beautiful tour guide is always better than a bad brother, Wu Di decided to pretend to be confused, anyway, the decision is in his hands, could it be that he is still worried that this little girl will pounce on him and qj him?
"Girlfriend? She's still taking care of me at my mother-in-law's house now! Let's go, just like the Eight-Power Allied Forces did back then, and sweep away their antiques."
Song Ying smiled, at least this Wu Di is not annoying, so let's do it, but it would be better if he could be a little whiter.
"There seem to be a few antique shops near San Donato, the terminus of the yellow line subway, but I haven't been there, so I don't know how they are. In fact, the real good things are at auctions and antique fairs. Florence can then Stay a few more days."
Wu Di saw that Song Ying gradually entered the situation, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Miss, you should be more professional in acting, and you still need me, an amateur supporting role, to guide you!His tone became more relaxed,
"Girl, there is a word called picking up leaks, do you understand? If you go shopping with others at an auction, that's called flaunting your wealth! I still owe hundreds of millions in foreign debts!"
Song Ying stuck out her tongue, silently protesting:
"Dare to call me a girl! Believe it or not, I will beat you up! How many billions in foreign debts? Still want to come out and play with women? Go lie to ghosts!"
Suddenly remembered that she was the woman who was about to be played by him, and couldn't help feeling angry and anxious, her fair little face turned crimson in an instant!
Compared with the metro in Beijing, the subway in Milan is quite worn out, but it is good, not crowded.At every subway station, you can see many yellow-skinned and black-haired people getting on and off the train.Wu Di can clearly recognize whether they are Chinese, but it is beyond his ability to distinguish between Koreans and Japanese.
There are not many tourists in San Donato, but there are indeed several antique shops gathered in a small street. The stores are large and small, and they are all European antiques, such as jewelry, watches, pipes, clothing, and armor. , weapons and the like, compared to the exquisite variety of Huaxia antique shops, they are really nothing to watch.
Wu Di took a quick look at a few shops, and tested the ability of Tianshu by the way. Fortunately, he can recognize foreigners' antiques as well.Although there are fewer types of antiques here, the proportion of real goods is much higher than that in China. Occasionally, you can see porcelain from China and some small bronzes, but they are either modern works of art or the quality is too poor. None of them can make it into Wu Di Dharma eye.
Song Ying was a little embarrassed, she really didn't know much about antiques.While Wu Di was looking at a spear, she asked an antique shop owner in Italian where she could find more Chinese antiques.The boss didn't mind, took her to the door of the store, pointed to the front and said:
"Passing that street, there is a small shop specializing in Huaxia antiques, but the items are very expensive. The Huaxia boss is very cunning!"
Wu Di followed to the door, Song Ying translated the boss's words, Wu Di laughed and said:
"It doesn't matter, the money is in our hands, if it's expensive, just buy it, just go and have a look. This antique, without the historical and cultural background, is really not worth seeing. It's better for Chinese people to play with things from their ancestors."
That small shop is actually not small, on the contrary, it is bigger than the few shops just now, and the owner is indeed a Chinese old man!However, it seemed that the business was not very good. Apart from Wu Di, there was not a single customer at this time.The boss was wearing a long gown and was thin. Seeing Wu Di and the two of them coming in, he got up and made a bow. Wu Di hurriedly returned the salute. For a while, he felt like visiting Panjiayuan.
"Sir, you can take a look at it casually, and we can talk about it if you like it?"
The boss is very straightforward, and Wu Di likes this kind of thing. When he buys things, he is annoyed by people who always follow him and introduce them.
When looking at the store, first look at the layout. The display cabinets around the wall are simply divided into two parts: the porcelain area and the miscellaneous area. The main products are porcelain, which takes up more than two walls!
Wu Di took a cursory glance, and found that there were many good things, and there seemed to be many real things, but after looking at a few price tags, the price was indeed expensive.After looking around for a while, he got the idea, he went back to the door, and looked at the counters one by one.
The boss stood aside, looking at Wu Di all the time, this young man is an expert, at least he has learned it, but he doesn't know how his eyesight is?
Song Ying looked around boredly, there was obviously nothing that could attract her, but seeing Wu Di's concentration, she didn't dare to disturb him.The boss saw her appearance, smiled and dragged a bench over, and said in a low voice:
"Girl, please sit down. This antique dealer will die if he sees a good thing. I'm afraid you have to wait a while. I'll get you a glass of water."
Wu Di really didn't have time to take care of Song Ying, this was his first actual combat after half a month of training with the second senior brother, how could he be sloppy?And there seemed to be a few good things in this shop, wouldn't it be great if we could find them without relying on the heavenly book?
Antiques are the same as beauties, and you can't bear to look closely.Wu Di looked at the two shelves and overturned his original judgment. The world is as dark as crows, and the world's antiques are generally fake!
The boss’s porcelain is roughly arranged according to the age, and the third shelf is still porcelain, but the dynasty has come to the Qing Dynasty. Wu Di saw only two pieces, but one piece of porcelain caught his attention, the sacrificial red glaze bowl!A sacrificial red glaze bowl about the same size as the one Wen Yaru showed him!
Holding the small bowl in his hand, Wu Di felt even more emotional, it was so similar, if it wasn't Italy, he would even think it was Wen Yaru's.He carefully looked at the glaze color, tire quality and inscription, and asked:
"Boss, how much is this?"
"Sir, you have a good eye. This is an imitation of the Xuande Sacrifice Red Glaze Bowl from the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty. It is exquisite in workmanship and in good condition. It is very valuable for collection! It is also a boutique in my store."
"Exquisite products? There should be a price for high-quality goods!"
Wu Di secretly thought that this boss must have been in Panjiayuan, and his tone was exactly the same as that of the guys there!
The boss didn't speak, and pointed at the shelf with a smile. Wu Di turned his head and looked, 20, very cheap!Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that this was in Europe, and the symbol in front of the 20 was also a Euro symbol, and 20 was 200 million!Looking at the small bowl in his hand again, he shook his head, put the bowl down, and said:
"If it was from the Xuande period, the price would be too much, but the Kangxi year, it can't be sold at this price in China."
"Although I seldom go back to China, I also know a little about the domestic antique market. Gold in troubled times, collections in prosperous times, and now China is in a prosperous age, so the antique market is becoming more and more popular. It is no exaggeration to say that this rare antique is one every day. Price! Moreover, in recent years, some big European collectors have also frequently sold and raised the price of Chinese porcelain at auctions, so this price is really not expensive."
"Then what price can the boss get if he really wants to sell it?"
"What price can you get if you really want to buy it, sir?"
Wu Di smiled, opened his hand, stretched out five fingers, and said:
"Fifty thousand, euros!"
"Oh, those who buy cakes, sir, you are really good at haggling prices, this price is impossible."
"Then boss, can you say another possible price?"
"[-]% off, [-]% off is the best price."
160 million?Wu Di silently shook his head and said:
"Boss, I'll look at the other ones. If there are any suitable ones, we'll talk about them later."
The boss nodded and stood aside.
After a while, Wu Di fell in love with a celadon porcelain plate, which was very thin, with dragon flowers carved in the dark, the patterns could be seen on the inside and outside, and turned slightly blue.The base payment is four characters and two lines, made in Yongle year.
Look at the price tag, fifty thousand euros.Wu Di picked up the plate and asked:
"Boss, how do you sell this one?"
"This is the celadon of Yuezhou kiln in the Yongle period. It is a rare and authentic product. Lu Guimeng, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, praised the elegance and beauty of Yuezhou celadon with "Nine autumn winds exposed the Yue kiln, and won the emerald green color of thousands of peaks". Its glaze color is clear and green, The luster like ice and jade gives people a feeling of uncertainty. It is known as the secret color porcelain. In the 18th century, Yue kiln celadon was introduced to France. At that time, "The Shepherdess" was being staged in the Paris theater, and the French used the name "Shen Landong" to call Yue Kiln Celadon."
Since you want to show off your knowledge, let me just say a few words and see who is telling the truth!Wu Di took the boss's words and said:
"The prosperous period of Yue Kiln was in the Tang and Five Dynasties. In the early Song Dynasty, the porcelain firing techniques of Ding Kiln and Yaozhou Kiln in the northern kilns had made great progress. Compared with the Yue kiln, the flower vessel is more blue, and the porcelain used in the court no longer needs to be used in the Yue kiln. So, boss, your porcelain is probably an imitation of the late Qing Dynasty, and this price can’t be sold.”
The boss put this piece of porcelain in the pile of porcelain from the Qing Dynasty. Obviously he also had this idea. Hearing this, he asked directly without arguing:
"How much does the gentleman think it should be worth?"
"Ten thousand, ten thousand euros."
At present, Yingqing's status in the country is not high. Small pieces of porcelain generally cost around 20 yuan, and high-quality porcelain can reach millions.But Wu Di obviously has no obligation to educate the boss. Since he thinks it is Yuezhou kiln, he can treat it as Yuezhou kiln and tell him.
The boss shook his head, obviously he didn't believe the price. Wu Di also knew that the price of this item was hard to talk about, so he didn't care, so he put down the porcelain plate and continued to look down.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Zhong has already paid ten days' room fee, and it will be very troublesome to refund! And now the hotel in Milan is really full, I have already called my friends to ask when I was eating!"
"Full?"
Wu Di tilted his head and looked at Song Ying, with a hint of teasing in his smile. He came from a business background. He has never seen or heard of such a thing. How can he not know what this girl is thinking?
