Tianyan Jianbao

Chapter 162 Bargaining

When Wu Yonghuai heard Li Zhi's words, he also knew that what he said just now was inappropriate.

This room is full of things, even for him to look at it by himself, it will be difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake within three to five days, let alone the young man in front of him.

If this word gets out, it may have some impact on my face. Although the shopkeeper Wu doesn't care much about his reputation, since someone else brought it up, he can no longer pretend to be stupid.

Wu Yonghuai thought about it in his heart, and said: "My old man made a slip of the tongue, so how about it, the real objects I mentioned are ceramic objects, and there are only twenty or thirty ceramic objects here. Brother Wang will not be at a disadvantage now, right?" .”

"Old man, I won't hide it anymore. I'm interested in the little brother's string of dzi beads, and even if little brother Wang loses, the price I buy will be very fair, at least 10 yuan a piece. Look at it." How about it?"

"One hundred thousand, you can find someone else to buy. This string of dzi beads was worn by the reincarnated Living Buddha of the Jokhang Temple for decades, and was consecrated and blessed. You want to buy it for a hundred thousand. There is no door, let's go, this old man It's not real."

In fact, Li Zhi didn't know whether one hundred thousand pieces was expensive or cheap, but he looked at the dozens of ceramic products of various styles in the store, and he couldn't believe that Wang Haoming's half-baked skills could identify the authenticity from the bottom of his heart. , so I found an excuse and prepared to sneak away.

"Has it been blessed by the Living Buddha of Jokhang Temple? It has been worn." Wu Yonghuai was stunned upon hearing this.

At the end of the 80s, he had been to Tibet and had the honor to meet the living Buddha in the Jokhang Temple, but at that time, Wu Yonghuai naturally would not be interested in the objects that the living Buddha carried with him.

He also knew that objects like this would be kept by living Buddhas for reincarnations, and they would be used when looking for reincarnated soul boys and identifying soul boys, and would not be easily given to others.

Unexpectedly, this ordinary-looking young man in front of him would have such a great opportunity.

Wu Yonghuai was not afraid that this young man would lie to him, whether it was true or not, he would know after a while, and he naturally had a way to identify Buddhist artifacts.

However, after knowing that it was a living Buddha's accessory, Wu Yonghuai's desire to own this dzi became more active.

He looked at Wang Haoming and said, "30 a piece, how about it, Brother Wang, you have traveled all over the country for this price, and no one will pay more than me."

Wang Haoming still looked noncommittal, but Li Zhi was taken aback. He could accept the 180 beads mentioned earlier, but there were eight beads in total in that string, which was [-] million.

Although the money was quite a lot, with Li Zhi's current net worth, he wouldn't be surprised.

Now I heard that the price has risen to 30 a piece, and 540 pieces is a full [-] million.

Wang Haoming didn't react when he heard Wu Yonghuai's words, but Li Zhi's heart beat faster.

"My dzi is a nine-eyed dzi, the best among dzi." Wang Haoming said flatly.

He had already found out the origin of this dzi bead, the genuine nine-eyed dzi bead is extremely rare, except for the Potala Palace or the Jokhang Temple in Tibet, it has not been circulated outside at all.

Regardless of these things, this dzi bead has been blessed by the Dharma of the living Buddhas of the past, and it is sold at a sky-high price.

The fat old man seemed to offer an extremely high price, but in fact he set up a trick to let Wang Haoming take advantage of it.

Wu Yonghuai didn't expect this young man to be so difficult to deal with. He offered a sky-high price of 30 a piece. He thought that even if Wang Haoming had a small fortune, he would be shocked by this price.

Unexpectedly, the young man was not moved by the price at all, but instead talked about the quality of the dzi in his hand.

"Of course I know that you have at least seven eyes on that day." Wu Yonghuai thought bitterly in his heart, but he still wanted to buy this thing.

At his age, money is not very important, and the bid of 30 just now is just a habit of taking advantage of it.

"50 pieces." Wu Yonghuai gritted his teeth and quoted another price.

The dzi beads were not worth the price, but after Wu Yonghuai wore those two old dzi beads, his high blood pressure and heart disease were effectively alleviated.

The quality of the dzi in Wang Haoming's hand is naturally better than that of his own, so this time he has paid off his capital.

After quoting the price, Wu Yonghuai looked at Wang Haoming, who was still smiling, and couldn't help but feel a little cold. How could this be a young man, a whole little fox, who could keep his face when he heard such a high price.

In fact, Wang Haoming was also a little surprised. He had consulted a lot of information before and knew that if this string of dzi beads were to be auctioned, the price should be around 500 million. He did not expect the fat old man in front of him to be so expensive today. Price.

However, Wang Haoming had no intention of selling this dzi bead, and he would never lose this bet.

"Damn it, why didn't I accompany you to the market that day in Lhasa? Why did this Haoming meet all the good things?" Li Zhi saw that the fat old man didn't look like he was joking, so he couldn't help but said angrily.

Hearing this, Wang Haoming couldn't laugh or cry, if Li Zhi was present at that time, he might have stabbed the stall owner with a knife, and would he still have a chance to meet the Living Buddha?It's almost the same as squatting.

"Okay, that's the price." Wang Haoming nodded and agreed.

Shopkeeper Qian was overjoyed when he heard the words. Although he had lost the deal, compared with his body, money was insignificant.

Right now, I was going to ask Wang Haoming whether he would receive a check or transfer directly to the bank.In order to prevent large transactions, his store has a credit card machine.

"If I lose, I will transfer the dzi beads to Boss Wu at this price. If I win, then Boss Wu can't break his promise."

Just when Wu Yonghuai was about to ask, he was not angry when he heard Wang Haoming say these words again. Young people should be more confident.

People who have just entered the antique business with little knowledge, feel good about themselves at the beginning, and only after paying the tuition fees a few times will they realize that the water in this industry is deep and the water is shallow.

"Of course. When my old man speaks, he spits and nails. There is no reason to swallow it back. Don't you think so?"

Wu Yonghuai agreed without hesitation, and yelled at a few guys in the store, of course they were greeted with flattery.

The porcelain in this antique shop is all placed on a shelf, which is divided into five layers from low to high. The highest layer can only be taken down by standing on a ladder. There is a piece of ceramics, including vases, noodle bowls, figures and so on.

During this period of time, Wang Haoming has read books on ceramics, and visited many antique shops in the antique market. He knows that most of the things displayed outside are high-quality imitation porcelain, otherwise, they would be accidentally smashed into pieces. It's too late for the shopkeeper to cry.

"Please get started."

Wu Yonghuai beckoned, and a few guys stepped forward to take down all the porcelain from the shelf, and put them on a square table in the shop, letting Wang Haoming go and appraise them.

The rule in the antique business is that things are not handy. Generally, others will not hand you things. If you put the things there, you can hold them and look at them. If you accidentally break them, I’m sorry, that’s your responsibility.

Wu Yonghuai looked very angry at this time, turned on all the lights in the store, and illuminated the store as bright as day, with a confident look.

I saw that the guys had already taken down all the porcelain from the shelf.

Wang Haoming walked over seriously, and took out a magnifying glass the size of a thumbnail from his pocket as he walked.

This thing was begged by Wang Haoming from Luo Feng when he was at Luo Feng's house.

It's not for anything else, it's just to pretend to be on a certain occasion, and to cover up the function of the eyes. This thing is small, and I usually carry it with me, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Seeing that Wang Haoming was carrying a magnifying glass with him, Wu Yonghuai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in his heart, not afraid that you don’t understand, but that you don’t understand deeply, the more knowledgeable people are, the more they look at these things. There will be a sense of paradox.

What's more, there are several pieces of high-quality imitation porcelain on this table. If Wu Yonghuai doesn't study them carefully, he might miss them.

Although these pieces are high imitations, the cost is also worth tens of thousands.It was fired by Wu Yonghuai at a high price, using ancient craftsmanship and recipes, and its shape and glaze color can almost be faked.

Those pieces of high imitation porcelain are placed on the top shelf of the shelf.

When it was taken down just now, the buddy still took it by stepping on a ladder.It is specially prepared for officials who like to be arty, or bosses with deep pockets.

Think about placing such a simple and elegant ceramics, or exquisite and gorgeous, wonderful ceramics in the office, which can more or less show the identity and taste of the owner.

What's more, shopkeeper Wu's eyes glanced sideways inadvertently. He was [-]% sure in his heart that Wang Haoming would never be able to find the object that opened the door.

Although that thing was used for fishing, unfortunately, it happened to be used by shopkeeper Wu himself today.

Wang Haoming was holding a large blue and white bowl in his hand at this time, pretending to be watching.

If you look at it with his eyes a month ago, this big bowl is similar to the sea bowl used for soup at home.The one at home is also decorated with blue and white patterns, which looks clearer and more beautiful than the one in my hand.

It's just that Wang Haoming has put in a lot of effort in appreciating ceramics and jades, which is much improved compared to his previous level, but this is the first time he has come into contact with real antique porcelains.

When I first got started, I still compared it with the porcelain bowl produced in Jingdezhen at home in my mind.

If Wu Yonghuai knew what Wang Haoming was thinking at the moment, he would definitely vomit blood angrily. This Kangxi blue and white bowl was specially asked to be fired by him, and the ancient firing process was all followed.

It took Wu Yonghuai a lot of financial and material resources to successfully fire from the selection of materials to the glazing of the blank, including the firing in the kiln. It can be said that although this object is a fake, it is also expensive.

But let Wang Haoming appraise the object, it is easy to say whether it is true or false, and the reason is hard to understand, so you just take a blue and white Yuan.He can also tell you the truth, but you need to know the truth.That is tantamount to asking Yu Blind.

Just when he was about to use his spiritual power to distinguish, Wang Haoming's heart suddenly moved. This is a rare opportunity to use a mobile phone. What Wang Haoming lacks most now is the experience of using antiques.

Hearing the confident words of the fat boss just now, it must be that even if these porcelains are fake, they are more fake than real objects. It happened that Wang Haoming used them to confirm with the knowledge he had learned in his mind.

After having this thought, Wang Haoming let go of the joke in his heart, and carefully examined the big blue and white bowl in his hand.

Blue and white porcelain, also known as white ground blue and white porcelain, often referred to as blue and white, is one of the mainstream varieties of Chinese porcelain.

The mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Hutian kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty, and the decorations were painted on the ceramic body.Then cover it with a layer of transparent glaze, and fire it once with a high-temperature reduction flame.

This is a large blue and white bowl with a figure, with the mouth of the bowl stretched out, and the bottom is a ring foot. The tire is fine and thin, and the color glaze of the whole bowl is pulpy white.

Wang Haoming made a careful distinction. The painting on the outer wall of the bowl should be the painting of the West Garden. Not long ago, he happened to see this painting in a book introducing fans.

Wang Haoming couldn't help feeling a little excited when he actually applied what he had learned. The charm of antiques lies in this, when you use the knowledge in your chest to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

That sense of accomplishment is indescribable.

The theme of "The Elegant Collection in the West Garden" has been depicted by literati painters in the past dynasties, and it has become a classic theme of fan or porcelain painting.

In the paintings on the outer wall of this large blue and white bowl, only some of the scenes are selected.The brushwork is skillful, the blue and white are secluded, the painting is ancient, the font of the base is dignified and neat, vigorous and powerful, and the distance between characters is relatively large.

Based on Wang Haoming's understanding of blue and white porcelain, this should be an object that opens the door.
