Chapter 649 Lingbi Offering Stones, Chang'e Flies to the Moon

"Okay, I'm really hungry too." Yu Yao got up, "Then let's go, where are we going?"

"Can you please eat the big elbow?"

"So greasy?"

"It's noon, you have to eat solidly. Big elbows are a good thing now, what has the price of meat risen to? And their rock sugar elbows are not greasy!"

"I really don't know how much the price of meat has risen. Okay, listen to you."

"You only know what the market for antiques is, but the market for antiques is not very popular nowadays."

"Yes." Yu Yao nodded.

In fact, the market of the antique market has not been very good in recent years. However, the market for antiques and even the entire cultural and jewelry market has always been ups and downs. buyers.

The two arrived at the restaurant, entered the private room, and ate for a while after the dishes were served.

"You said there was something you wanted to talk to me about, what kind of good thing is it?" Yu Yao temporarily put down his chopsticks and asked after the food was over.

Lao Zhou also put down his chopsticks, picked up the cigarette case and handed the cigarettes, and then said, "A friend of mine quit this year, and he is cleaning up the bottom of the goods. I went to his store yesterday to have a look, and there was something worth buying. But I'm not sure."

"People in the antique circle? I don't know?"

"Hey, he just has a shop in the antique city. How should I put it, he likes to deal with people in the cultural circle and even the entertainment circle. He can't be regarded as a person in the antique circle in the true sense."

"It's quite elegant."

"Fengya, hammer, do you know what he's going to do if he doesn't open an antique shop?"

"Why? Entered the entertainment industry?"

Lao Zhou picked up his chopsticks and tapped the rock sugar elbows on the table, "Do this!"

"Huh? Are you selling pork?"

"Hey, no, he opened another barbecue restaurant."

"I'll go, this cross-border is a bit big!"

"20 years ago, when he was young, he set up a skewer stall. Later, he saved some money, and under the introduction of an old acquaintance, he started to sell antiques. In those years, he traveled all over the country, maybe You can catch a good thing; there are few fakes, and the market is in the ascendant, and you can really make a lot of money. His shop in the antique city is not rented, it is bought for a buy-price."

"It's really 20 years in Hedong and 20 years in Hexi." Yu Yao sighed.

"After renting the store, he started to stock up on imitations again, and the business was good." Lao Zhou's eyes were also a little bit sad, "But in the past few years, things have gone from bad to worse. In his own words, it's like falling into a well, no matter how hard you climb I can't climb up."

Yu Yao nodded, "Well, the old products can't be sold, and the money has to be bought into new ones. If the business is good, the fake products can be quietly released along with the real ones. If the business is not good, then all of them will be thrown into your hands."

"That's right, he doesn't have your eyesight, and he doesn't have any high-quality products, so he just waits for the value to depreciate day by day." Lao Zhou said, "So, this year, he has made up his mind to quit!"

"In the final analysis, you have to be hard to forge the iron. When the wind is going smoothly, you don't want to improve your eyesight and just increase your money. If you sail against the current, you can only fall into the whirlpool and cannot get out."

"That's what you said, but how easy is it to improve your eyesight?" Old Zhou sighed, "I saw him yesterday, and he still complained. The lack of presents is the main reason that affects his business."

Yu Yao waved his hand, "Actually, this reason is not important. The most important thing is that the entire big market is already in vain heat, there are too many unscrupulous methods, and the supervision cannot be deepened."

Lao Zhou nodded, "Antiques are both collectibles and investment products, but this kind of investment product is not as easy and quick as real estate and stocks to realize."

"You can write a manuscript now." Yu Yao smiled slightly.

Lao Zhou's eyes lit up, "I really have this idea. Although I am no longer a reporter, I really understand the development and transformation of the antique market in the past ten years. Prosperity and desolation, transformation and change, and the role of culture, The next step of returning to rationality is very interesting!"

When the two chatted about the antique market, sparks flew everywhere for a while, and the conversation was very interesting. After talking for a long time, they still haven't returned to what Lao Zhou wanted to talk about.

It wasn't until the end of the meal that Yu Yao slapped his head, "We've had a good chat today, what is that thing?"

After asking, Yu Yao casually lit a cigarette. "It's a stone." Old Zhou said quickly.

When Yu Yao heard this, he frowned, "Could it be the old Gongshi?"

Stones are not antiques, but old offering stones are.

The value of ordinary stones is definitely not much higher, and jade and other stones that pay attention to texture are another matter.Strange stones are more valuable stones.

The so-called offering stone is a kind of strange stone.Simply put, offering stones are strange stones whose natural shape and texture have strong ornamental or unique characteristics, and can be used for display.

To make it simpler, it can be supported by strange stones.

There are many types of strange stones. In addition to ornamental stones, there are town house stones, Fengshui stones, welcoming stones, and so on.Although offering stones are a type of strange stones, they can also be classified accordingly.

Old offering stones naturally refer to offering stones with a certain age.Associated with some names, the value is often higher.

In ancient China, there has long been a style of playing with stones, which is mostly the preference of literati.Often on the desk, place a piece of offering stone, between one foot and two feet, mountains and valleys, full of clouds and peaks, what kind of artistic conception is that?Of course, this also requires a little discernment.

Su Dongpo has a lot of hidden stones, and he has a special liking. His study is called "Xuelangzhai" because he has a famous stone "Xuelang".

And the allusion of Mi Fu worshiping stones is well known.

"Yes, I think the bottom bracket is at least from the Qing Dynasty, and it is a carved boxwood bottom bracket."

"The offering stone is also from the Qing Dynasty?" Yu Yao asked.

"I'm not sure, but the shell is okay, and it shouldn't be later than the Qing Dynasty." Lao Zhou squinted his eyes and recalled, "And it should be Lingbi!"

"Lingbi? What shape?"

Lingbi stone, Yingshi, Taihu stone, and Kunshan stone are known as the four famous offering stones in ancient China, and Lingbi ranks first.Lingbi stone has high hardness, good shape, many changes, and often has a good charm, which is widely loved by stone lovers.

The famous "Mountains are high and the moon is small and the water falls and the stones come out" is a Lingbi offering stone named and collected by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

"Chang'e flies to the moon!"

"Oh?"

Lao Zhou further explained, "The shape of the strange stone offering stone is also similar to the spirit. This Lingbi, even if it matches the name."

"So, 'Chang'e Flying to the Moon' is carved on the boxwood base?"

"Correct."

"It doesn't sound like a vulgar thing."

Lao Zhou lit a cigarette and said, "Actually, I know a little bit about this Lingbi tribute stone. In the early years, the price of tribute stones was not high. A piece of tribute stone with original support in the Qing Dynasty cost a few hundred yuan. It's a common thing. His tribute stone may have been taken from a fellow villager's stall, and it should not exceed 2000 yuan."

"Have you never made a move?"
