gifted collector

Chapter 1036
After the initial surprise passed, a bright smile appeared on Fang Ming's face—no matter who he was, he would be like Fang Ming when he encountered such a thing.

"how much did you spend?"

As Fang Ming spoke, he stretched out his hand and tore open a box.

"40."

Fang Ming's hands stopped, and he immediately turned his head to look at Lu Yao, and said, "What? 40?"

"Yes, that's right, it's indeed 40. Of course, I'm talking about US dollars."

For the shocked expression on Fang Ming's face, Lu Yao was not surprised at all, and she was not worried at all. Fang Ming felt that she had spent too much money, because she knew that the reason why Fang Ming showed such an expression was Because the money I spent was too little.

"Hahaha!"

Sure enough, Fang Ming laughed loudly and said, "It's really unexpected. Lu Yao, I can't see that you are also a good businessman."

40?
Don't say it's 40, even if it's 400 million, or a little more, Fang Ming is willing to pay this money!
Nineteen boxes, on average, that's a little over 2 a box, you know, they are all antiques!

This is really the price of cabbage that can no longer be cabbage.

Lu Yao laughed, and she remembered the situation when she and Jimmy were bargaining, "That man's name is Jimmy, obviously he is a person who doesn't understand antiques, and he belongs to the kind of person who doesn't understand at all, probably I know that there are such things as antiques in this world. As for the specific differences, he doesn’t know. Moreover, I think he should have collected this batch of things from others at a very low price. Yes, so I can offer such a price, he should feel that he has made a lot of money, otherwise he would not be so happy."

Lu Yao's guess was not wrong at all. At the beginning, Jimmy was really happy and felt that he had earned a lot. Of course, this was based on the absence of Li Hua and Liang Shi, so now he can't wait to kill himself .

However, for Lu Yao, even if she knew that Jimmy was enjoying himself at this time, she would not sympathize.

After all, this is a business, and the antique collection business is like this. I rely on my eyesight to pick up leaks. On the surface, it seems unfair to Jimmy, but this is the way this world is. People without knowledge will definitely For those who are at a disadvantage, Lu Yao does not steal or rob, and relies on her own knowledge to make money.This is an aboveboard matter. Besides, Lu Yao also took risks when she bought this thing. Once it is proved that it is not an antique, then the problem will be serious. Will Jimmy return the 40 she paid?

This is obviously impossible.

"Hey!!"

Fang Ming smiled and said, "If the world is full of people like this, then we can make a fortune."

Lu Yao was also happy, and said: "This... this... If this is really the case, then we have really made a fortune, and we have made a fortune."

"Hahaha!"

Fang Ming laughed out loud, of course he also knew that this was just talk, if such a good thing in this world could happen to one, it would be a big deal, would you still want to see it every day?This is absolutely impossible.

"By the way, Fang Ming, take a look and see if it's real. You know, I'm not very sure about this. When I bought it, I just thought it should be real."

Thinking of this incident, Lu Yao felt a little worried.Although I have worked in the auction company for many years and know some knowledge of appraisal, I am not a professional expert in this field after all, because I mainly focus on the operation of an auction company.

Waving his hand, Fang Ming said: "You don't need to look at this, you can't go wrong. I took a look when I left before, and the reflection of the porcelain exposed by the broken box, I know that I can't go wrong just by this. It’s not like this, and I won’t let you buy it either.”

With the accumulation of experience, Fang Ming's ability in appraisal has become stronger and stronger. He really doesn't need to get used to many antiques, and he can tell them apart just by looking at them.

Especially for porcelain, the luster is actually very easy to distinguish - especially for experienced people.

"Okay, let's move the things back to the room first. It's not convenient here now."

Now the truck is parked at the entrance of the big hotel. Generally speaking, luxury cars are parked in such a place. Now it’s okay. It turned out to be a big truck. It’s okay for now. It's really not the same thing.

Lu Yao nodded, she also knew that it was really not suitable for the truck now.

Zhao Zhuzi had already found someone at this time. As the saying goes, money is easy to do. After Zhao Zhuzi got off the car, he went to the hotel to find someone. Although it was not convenient to park the truck at the door, it was because of the money. The people in the hotel didn't say much, not to mention that Fang Ming and the others lived in the best room and were guests of the hotel.

Although there were many boxes, they were quickly moved back to Fang Ming's room in the hotel.

"Silk!"

Brought a small knife and cut the tape off the box, Fang Ming carefully peeled off the wrapped things, and then took out a plate.

"Good things... really good things..."

After looking at the light for a while, Fang Ming admired softly.The plate in his hand is actually very simple, but in fact it is very not simple.

It is as white as jade, but it seems to be transparent when viewed against the light.

The pattern on it is very simple, just a piece of orchid grass, but it seems to be alive, even Fang Ming can feel the grass is shaking against the wind.

Just looking at this point, it is no longer comparable to ordinary porcelain.

If you say that these are not good things, then unless you are blind, in fact, just this kind of workmanship, even if it is a modern one, is already a very valuable good thing.

"Boss, good stuff?"

Turning his head to look at Zhao Zhuzi who was standing next to him, he found that he was rubbing his hands with a look of urgency. Fang Ming laughed and said, "Of course, of course it's a good thing. This thing, even if it's made by modern times , nineteen big boxes, that’s already more than 40!”

"Isn't it?

Zhao Zhuzi's eyes widened instantly, "Is that good?"

Fang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, that is indeed the case."

As he said that, Fang Ming put the plate in his hand on the table, pointed to it and said, "Actually, to be honest, even if the current high-tech technology is already very good, it is not easy to burn such a thing again." things."

"what?"

Zhao Zhuzi didn't understand now, and said, "Boss, just as you said, the current science and technology are so good, it's impossible to burn something like this? It's impossible."

From Zhao Zhuzi's point of view, what Fang Ming said is really hard to imagine. For example, now that everyone has landed on the moon, they still can't make good porcelain?

"Pillar, there is nothing strange about this. There are two main reasons."

Looking at Zhao Zhuzi, it was Lu Yao who answered the conversation, "First, the technology has been lost, and the refining of porcelain is something that has been passed down for thousands of years in our country. It was formed during a long period of practice, and the emergence of talented people will lead to the final formation. However, in a long period of time, due to various reasons, such as wars, or the break of family inheritance Wait, it is often lost. For this kind of technology, once it is lost, it is basically impossible to get it back. What was refined at that time, it is impossible for future generations to have it again, and such things are definitely not something that can be solved by the so-called high technology now."

"Secondly, many raw materials for porcelain are no longer available. Simply put, they are used up. Porcelain clay for refining porcelain and other raw materials are actually non-renewable resources. If such things are used up, then It’s gone. It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without fire. Even if the technology is advanced and the technology is restored, since there is no raw material, there is no way.”

"This one……"

Zhao Zhuzi scratched his hair, this reason is not difficult to understand, he understood when Lu Yao said this.

"Hey hey! So that's how it is. Forget it. I can't control this matter. Anyway, if it's a good thing, that's enough."

Fang Ming nodded, and said: "Yes, there is nothing wrong, it is indeed the case, so the bark outside the door

Porcelain, especially high-quality porcelain, is a non-renewable resource at all, and one piece is one less!These are just like this, and they are all rare and good things. "

In fact, the main reasons why antiques are valuable are the two things Lu Yao mentioned.

The loss of technology, the non-renewability of raw materials, it is impossible to think that it is worthless.

Playing with antiques is actually just playing with this.

Looking at the nineteen big boxes in front of him, Fang Ming suddenly laughed and said, "However, these seem to be a little too much."

"what?"

Zhao Zhuzi fooled Fang Ming's words, and said, "Too many? What does this mean? Boss, are there too many good things?"

"Well, yes, it's not surprising. Think about it, is a thing worth more or less?"

Zhao Zhuzi thought for a while and said, "This... seems to be worth less, and rare things are more expensive."

"That's right, so we have nineteen big boxes here, which is a bit too much, so if we take out all these things at once, we really can't sell them at a good price .”
