Chapter 632 Pay Tuition Fees

Some time ago, when Yuan Hongjian was visiting the antique market, he saw a relatively small and exquisite vat on a booth, which looked very good, so he went up to have a look.

Although Yuan Hongjian had just stepped into the antique business and didn't know many things, he was not stupid. Although he didn't know what this small vat was for, he wouldn't foolishly ask the stall owner what it was.

This tank looks very good, and the patterns on it are very suitable for his taste. After seeing it, he has a feeling that he wants to keep it in his pocket, but what makes him a little strange is that there are still some in this tank. water.

Before Yuan Hongjian could ask a question, the stall owner asked with a smile: "Master, this sound cylinder is from the year of Kangxi, but I got it with great difficulty. If you want it, I can give you a little discount."

"Sounding crock?" Yuan Hongjian didn't expect that he actually heard the sounding crock from a friend a few days ago, and he was curious for a while, why is this thing called a sounding crock?

Maybe the suspicious look on Yuan Hongjian's face misunderstood the stall owner, and immediately said: "I am the sound tank, if you don't believe me, listen to the sound!"

As he said that, he dipped some water in the tank with his hands, and then gently rubbed the rim of the tank. What Yuan Hongjian didn't expect was that the tank in front of him actually made a weng sound. I was dumbfounded, and thought to myself, so the sound of the cylinder is like this!

However, Yuan Hongjian was not stupid after all, and he was afraid that the stall owner would do something wrong, so he asked, "Boss, can you let me try?"

"Okay, you can always come and try it!" After saying that, the stall owner asked Yuan Hongjian to come to him, and put a small bucket of water beside Yuan Hongjian, with a piece of soap beside him.

Yuan Hongjian was a little confused, so he asked: "Boss, I want to test whether this tank will make noise, why do you give me a small bucket of water!"

The stall owner was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "Master, let the "sound jar" ring, it is best to wash your hands with soap first, so as not to leave any oil on your hands, have you forgotten?"

Yuan Hongjian hurriedly said haha: "Haha, this thing is relatively rare, so I forgot it for a while!"

The stall owner smiled to himself, thinking, this old man thought he was an old player, but he was a novice at all!It looks like I can make a lot of money today.

Thinking of this, the stall owner turned his head, glanced towards the east, and then watched Yuan Hongjian's movements as if nothing had happened.

After Yuan Hongjian washed his hands, he imitated the appearance of the stall owner just now, and gently rubbed the palms of his hands on the edge of the vat a few times, and the sound from inside the vat suddenly became louder and louder, with the speed of his hands increasing. Speed ​​up, the sound is getting louder.

Seeing this situation, he was very happy in his heart. A few days ago, he heard from a friend that the sounding cylinders encountered by many people were all dumb. At that time, he wondered, which cylinder would not sound when knocked?At that time, he felt that his friend was confused. Now that he knew what was going on with the ringing cylinder, he also understood what his friend meant. He thought, this time he met the truth!

Seeing that Yuan Hong's branch stopped what he was doing, he smiled and said: "Master, my sound cylinder is not bad! It's a one-shot!"
"I think it's okay, how much?" Yuan Hongjian asked.

"One price, [-]!" The stall owner stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face.

"What, so expensive?" Yuan Hongjian exclaimed loudly when he heard the stall owner's price.

"[-] yuan is not expensive. My vat belongs to Kangxi! If you don't believe me, look at it!" The stall owner turned the vat over, and there was indeed a blue and white regular script with four characters and two lines of "Kangxi year system" on the bottom.

Although Yuan Hongjian felt that the thing was genuine, he also knew the rules of asking prices all over the place and paying back the money on the spot in the antique market, so he said: "Boss, don't talk so nonsense. If it is really made in Kangxi, then you can go to the auction." Will it make more money than it is now? Buy it now, 5000 yuan!"

"Five thousand is not enough, at least forty-six thousand..."

In this way, the two came and went, and finally Yuan Hongjian returned the price to [-] yuan, but he still felt a little hesitant to buy it. In fact, he didn't know the price of this kind of sound cylinder from his friends. If you lose money, it’s all money.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came out suddenly, saw the sound cylinder in front of Yuan Hongjian, his eyes lit up, and asked, "Boss, can you show me this thing!"

Yuan Hongjian was still hesitating, but he frowned when the middle-aged man asked this question.He didn't mean to say that he knew that the behavior of the middle-aged man in front of him was taboo, but he had heard from friends that some scammers like to cheat money in this way, which made him wonder if he had encountered such a situation .

Seeing that Yuan Hongjian's interest suddenly dropped, the stall owner immediately understood that his companion was too reckless. In fact, this kind of behavior is not only easy to misunderstand the buyer, but also the seller.

You know, when buying and selling, when the two sides negotiate the price, it is actually a process of psychological competition. If you mix it up like this, it will make both of them nervous, and the buyer will think, what is this kid doing, don’t try to pry Bar.The seller will think, what is the meaning of this person, he wants to make trouble, if the buyer is run away, who am I going to sell?

In addition, there is another big taboo in this regard. When a buyer has already selected an item and negotiates with the boss, suppose the owner asks for 200, and the buyer pays 160.
When the two sides are at a stalemate, if you play up and say to the boss: "Boss, I want this thing for 200!", then you are very wrong.

If the seller agrees to your price, the buyer will definitely say that he does not understand the rules, and an antique seller who does not understand the rules must not "live" in the market for long.So under normal circumstances, the seller will reject you straight away, and even sell it directly to that buyer at a price of 160.

The stall owner looked a little displeased and said, "Boss, can we talk about it later?"

The middle-aged man realized that he was too reckless, so he hurriedly made amends, patted his bulging pocket pretending to be a little excited, and said loudly: "There's nothing to wait for, I can't afford to pay!"

"Sir, you haven't bought antiques, have you?" the stall owner asked.

"Today is indeed the first time here, but what does it matter if it's the first time, is it the first time you can't even watch it!" At the end of the speech, the middle-aged man seemed a little angry.

The stall owner explained impatiently: "It's not that you can't watch it, the key is that this uncle is watching, so you can't watch it!"

"Why can't you watch it?" The middle-aged man asked with a dissatisfied expression.

"This is the rule of our business, so please bear with me! If you insist on doing this, then I can only stop doing business with you!"

Hearing what the stall owner said, the middle-aged man couldn't say anything more.

On the other hand, Yuan Hongjian was also relieved. He felt that what the stall owner did was just an emergency.However, with such an accident, he also felt confident, thinking that since the middle-aged man has taken a fancy to this sound jar, the price of this sound jar should not be cheap.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yuan Hongjian still paid back the price: "Boss, let's count it as [-], what do you think?"

The stall owner still shook his head again and again: "No, no! Twenty thousand is the minimum, and I can't get it cheap. I lost money at ninety thousand. You see, I am also running a small business, and I have to support my family. You have to pay as much as you want." Let me make some money!"

Seeing that the stall owner didn't want to talk anymore, Yuan Hongjian pondered for a while before agreeing: "Then help me wrap it up!"

"Okay..."

Seeing that the two quickly completed the transaction, the middle-aged man sighed, "Oh, what a pity!"

Yuan Hongjian was a little strange when he heard the words, and asked: "My little brother, I don't know what you are regretting?"

"A while ago, my uncle's house had a similar tank, and it sold for 10 yuan. You say I'm not a pity!"

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the stall owner looked annoyed, while Yuan Hongjian immediately showed a look of surprise, then greeted the stall owner, and went home triumphantly.It's a pity that he didn't see it. After he left, the stall owner and the middle-aged man also smiled...

After talking about the cause and effect, Yuan Hongjian quickly asked: "Boss Chu, this sounding cylinder of mine should be a genuine product, right?"

After hearing Yuan Hongjian's narration, both Chu Chen and Uncle Wu shook their heads secretly. Chu Chen didn't answer right away, but asked, "Old man, didn't you ask your friend to look at this jar for you?"

Yuan Hongjian replied: "He and his wife have gone abroad for a trip, and they won't be back until the day after tomorrow, otherwise I would have let him see it long ago. Why, is there something wrong with my sound cylinder?"

"Let me tell you this, I'm sure this thing is not from the Kangxi period!" For a newcomer like Yuan Hongjian, Chu Chen bluntly stated the result.

"Impossible!" Yuan Hongjian directly expressed doubts about the result given by Chu Chen.

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Old man, I have a reason for saying this, so how about you listen to me first?"

Yuan Hongjian nodded and said, "Say it!"

"First of all, this ring cylinder can be seen from its painting skills. It is not an official kiln, but a folk kiln porcelain, because if it is an official kiln, its painting skills are much higher. , You can go to major museums to confirm this point!"

Chu Chen went on to say: "Since it is not official kiln porcelain, let's say it is folk kiln porcelain. If it is folk kiln porcelain, first of all, its fetal quality is wrong. In terms of porcelain body, the folk kiln porcelain in the early Kangxi Dynasty The carcass of blue and white porcelain is relatively thick, and there is often a flint red phenomenon at the junction of the carcass and glaze, and the carcass is mostly yellowish in color."

"The quality of blue-and-white porcelain in the mid-term is extremely fine and white, almost without grains, like high-quality glutinous rice flour, and there is basically no flint red. The body quality of large porcelain with thick tires is slightly thicker than that of small pieces, and there is no flint red phenomenon. There is a comparison A special phenomenon is that after cleaning the bottom feet of such large handed-down vessels, it is common that the oxide layer of aluminum oxide is thinly attached to the tread in the form of white powder, as if artificially added. However, the quality of the late stage and the middle stage are not obvious. The difference..."
