Chapter 61 Profiteering
Xiao Zhao, an antique dealer, is actually in his 40s, so he should be called Old Zhao.

Old Zhao is chubby, with a slightly dark face and a simple and honest smile on his face. No matter how he looks, he looks like a simple farmer, but his messy eyebrows and wandering eyes make him look more like a businessman. To be precise, More like a profiteer.

That's right, honest people have no way to gain a foothold in the antique shop, only those who appear to be honest but cunning can become a qualified second-hand dealer.

Old Zhao is obviously a qualified second-hand dealer. When he saw Han Zhenyang and his party, he swept his eyes away and immediately smiled at him, "It turned out that it was introduced by old man Xue. Come in, what do you want to see?"

Han Zhenyang pondered for a while, and felt that it would be better not to startle the snake, so he said in general that he wanted to see if there was any satisfactory ceramics.

There is nothing wrong with counting Zisha teapots as ceramics.

Old Zhao nodded with a smile, "Don't mention it, it's a coincidence that you came here. I just received a batch of fine porcelain, all of which are fine porcelain from the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty."

Qing Dynasty?
Han Zhenyang smiled noncommittally, but he didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in his heart.If it is true that the high-quality porcelain created by the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, it would have been sent to the auction house long ago. Good things can only maximize profits at auctions. Most of the antiques traded in private are of average value, or the origin is unclear, or Seller is desperate for money.

However, it does not rule out that the other party does not know the goods and keeps the treasure in his hand as an ordinary object.

In fact, there are many people who don't know the goods, otherwise, where can people with good eyesight like Han Zhenyang pick up the leaks?Second-hand dealers like Lao Zhao may have some knowledge of antiques and have a little vision, but it is really impossible to say how professional they are. This kind of person relies more on experience, and most of them judge whether an antique is worth or not based on experience. , rather than market analysis of dating identification of objects.

Picking up the leaks, picking up the leaks, this leak comes from here.

What's more, Han Zhenyang's purpose is not the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, but the body of Chen Mingyuan's Sanyang Kaitai pot.So as soon as he entered the door, he released his aura to search for it, but to his surprise, the pot was placed in the living room openly, with only the body of the pot, which contained earth-yellow aura, shaped like a hill, and matched with the lid. Looking at the three goats, they are definitely the original pair.

Sanyang Kaitai pot, this is the one, that's right.

Han Zhenyang couldn't walk the moment he saw the body of the pot, secretly wondering what Lao Zhao meant by placing the body of the pot in the living room.

Old Zhao asked casually, "My brother, what's the matter?"

Han Zhenyang coughed, "I was amazed by Brother Zhao's collection. The good things at home can soon catch up with some museums." He was not just flattering, but Lao Zhao really had a few good things in his house. There are porcelains from the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty that he himself said; there is also a bronze ware, although there is no inscription, but the pattern is clear, the paste is complete, the quality is excellent, and it is a fine piece of bronze ware.

Lao Zhao smiled triumphantly, "I entered the industry at the age of 17 and have been in the industry for decades. I collected all these treasures one by one. Hehe, for example, the blue and white plum vase was sold by a collector for 200 million. I'm not willing to sell it," he said, pointing to a blue and white plum vase in the cabinet.

200 million? I don't want 200 yuan either.

Han Zhenyang secretly slandered that there were good things in this room, but none of them were on the bright side. Except for the body of the Sanyang Kaitai pot, all the things on the bright side were fakes. Even a layman like him can find traces of imitation and old-fashioned.

That blue-and-white plum vase is fake at first glance, not to mention the patterns, enamel and other things, the shape is too rigid, the curve between the shoulders, waist and abdomen is very awkward, and it does not have the natural and smooth lines of fine porcelain.

From this point, it can be seen that Lao Zhao either laid mines on purpose, or he was really ignorant.

So, what happened to Sanyang Kaitai Pot?

Thinking of this, Han Zhenyang showed a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, walked to the pot, looked at it for a while and asked casually: "Why is this pot uncovered?"

"It was lost by the children at home, and I haven't found it until now. Alas, it's a pity that I lost a good pot," Lao Zhao sighed with regret.

Lost by a brat?In other words, Comrade Zhao probably didn't know that this pot was a masterpiece of Chen Mingyuan. If he knew this, he would never let the brat touch it casually.Just imagine, would you let a child play with fragile objects worth millions?Not to mention a small rich family like Lao Zhao, even if Bill Gates got this pot, he would carefully arrange it.

Old Comrade Zhao didn't know how to expose his ignorance with a single sentence, and kept praising how exquisite and beautiful this pot is, and how superb the workmanship was, and finally said that this pot might have been made by Gu Jingzhou himself.

Han Zhenyang almost couldn't laugh out loud, Gu Jingzhou's reputation is quite big, he can even be said to be the No. 1 pot maker in modern times, but he is hundreds of years behind Chen Ming.Chen Mingyuan was born in the early Qing Dynasty, and he can be regarded as one of the pioneers in the history of pot making. His status, fame, ability, and even market value are not much worse than Gu Jingzhou's. Even Chen Mingyuan's works are even rarer. Because of too long, many works have disappeared into history. in the long river.

Therefore, compared with Gu Jingzhou's pot, Chen Mingyuan's pot is even more rare, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

This old Zhao said that Chen Mingyuan's pot belonged to Gu Jingzhou, what's the difference between this and buying a box and returning the pearl?
Upon discovering this, Han Zhenyang was secretly delighted—it seems that today's mistake has been fixed.

How much is better?

He pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Sell it?"

"You want it?" Old Zhao hesitated, "I'll sell it too, but at this price..."

"Let's talk about the price. If it's suitable, we can talk about it. If it's not suitable, let it be," Han Zhenyang said casually.

"30."

"Brother, you are a defective product, is it really okay to ask for such a high price?"

"Then how much can you pay?"

Han Zhenyang deliberately pondered for a few seconds, then extended a slap, "Five thousand."

"No, absolutely not, it's too low!" Old Zhao shook his head decisively.

"Then double it, ten thousand."

"Still too low."

"Then give me a real price, but let me make it clear in advance that if it exceeds six figures, don't open your mouth. I won't even talk about it. If it is less than six figures, there is still room for discussion," Han Zhenyang said seriously.

The two bargained fiercely, from 30 to [-], and after grinding for a while, when it reached [-], Lao Zhao refused to let go.

Han Zhenyang knew that it was almost done, so he nodded, "Okay, 8 is [-], who makes me like purple clay pots better?" He said and transferred [-] yuan to Lao Zhao.

When Lao Zhao received the money, he smiled and said courteously: "Let me wrap it up for you," he said, holding up the pot and walking inside, intending to make a wrapper for Han Zhenyang.

Han Zhenyang didn't pay attention at first, but with a casual glance, he suddenly froze, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"
