To put it simply, if the silver ingot is sold as an antique and is in good condition, it may cost 70,000, 80,000, or even 100,000. But once you melt it, that's all the silver is worth! ! ! Melted the [Antique Silver Ingot] to create a silver longevity lock for your grandson? Many treasure friends shook their heads helplessly. This is the modern version of buying a casket and giving it back a pearl! But it’s still a [real case]!
"Okay, let's get down to business." Xu Wenxuan told a little joke to liven up the atmosphere and started the auction:
"The silver ingot from the Qing Dynasty has the three characters [Tianhexuan] cast on it. It should be the Tibetan silver of Tianhe Yinzhuang."
"Although it's not official silver, it's well preserved and in really good condition."
"Starting price: 200,000!"
"Every increase must not be less than 10,000!"
"The auction begins."
······
Xiao Fan had no interest in this silver ingot, and there was nothing left to pick up. Where are there so many mistakes? After a fierce competition, the silver ingot was finally auctioned off for more than 300,000 yuan. If this silver ingot was melted and sold as silver, it would probably cost only a thousand yuan at most.
Antiques have added [cultural value]. I hope that the melting of ancient gold and silver ingots will not happen in the future... The auction continues, and each piece of exquisite antique antiques is bought by treasure friends under Xu Wenxuan's eloquent introduction. ,Warm atmosphere.
But at this moment, Uncle Li Xiong actually took action.
oh?
Aren’t you planning to take action today?
At this moment, Xu Wenxuan continued: "The following auction item is:"
"Authentic plateau blood jade bracelet!"
oh?
Authentic blood jade?
After listening to this, Xu Wenxuan continued to introduce: "Dear friends, please take a look."
"This is not some artificial blood jade."
oh?
Artificial blood jade?
Xu Wenxuan already said: "Because blood jade is extremely rare, there are many fake blood jade on the market."
"For example, one of the techniques is to find a piece of ordinary white jade, then cut a wound on the goat's body, and then forcefully insert the white jade into the goat's wound."
"Then, suture the wound."
"The whole process is naturally extremely painful for the goat. However, after the wound heals, in about one or two years, the blood of the goat will be impregnated with the white jade, and finally the rare blood jade will be obtained."
Isn't it too cruel?
Stuffing a piece of white jade into the body of a goat for a year or two?
Counterfeiting is done in every possible way.
Fake blood jade.
At this time, Xu Wenxuan said: "You can come up and take a closer look at this piece of blood jade."
"Look at the lines, look at the texture, look at the crystal clear feeling."
"This is definitely a real blood jade from the plateau."
Suddenly, everyone stepped forward to take a look.
"Well, it is indeed a real blood jade."
"Look at this pattern, it's very natural."
"Yes, the auction may be eye-catching, but it won't be fake."
This is true.
Therefore, many wealthy treasure friends are willing to come to this [Tea Room Auction].
Li Xiong also fell in love with this blood jade bracelet. He smiled and said, "I'll take a photo of it. When I get back, you can give it to Yiyi as a wedding gift."
oh.
I see.
Xiao Fan quickly said: "Uncle Li, let me take the photo. How can I make it cost you money?"
Let Uncle Li buy blood jade and give it to herself as a gift for her daughter?
Xiao Fan is not that shameless.
"We are all a family, there is no need to be polite." Uncle Li Xiong really regarded Xiao Fan as his son-in-law, and said: "If you want to repay me, treat Yiyi better and give birth to a fat grandson as soon as possible so that I can enjoy the happiness of a family. .”
"Come on, Xiaofan, I'm optimistic about you."
Xiao Fan:······
"I'm just waiting for my fat grandson, haha."
"I'll pay 120,000."
After a fierce competition, Uncle Li Xiong finally won the blood jade bracelet for a price of 150,000 yuan. Uncle Li Xiong handed it to Xiao Fan and said, "Remember to buy a bouquet of flowers."
Xiao Fan: How about going to Lin’s Flower Shop to buy it?
"I'm so shameless."
Shaking his head, this auction ended. Originally, Xiao Fan thought that it was impossible for him to miss something again. But at this moment, an accident happened. Uncle Li's old friend, Old Zhang, came over. After saying hello to Xiao Fan, he said to Li Xiong: "Old Li, let's go backstage and have a look."
oh?
Backstage?
Lao Zhang said: "Well, there are some antiques that cannot be put on the market and are not eligible to enter the auction."
"After the auction, we acquaintances can go and take a look."
"Maybe there's something good there."
oh.
For example, the condition of the Guanyin gift given to a son in the Qing Dynasty was very poor. If it hadn't been for the prodigal son's repeated requests, it would not have made it to the auction. Don’t dare to buy too many defective items at an auction, otherwise the distinguished treasure friends will not come: the antiques you have here are of too low a grade!
For example, when Xiao Fan bought the Guanyin as a gift, someone said: If it is an antique of this level, we will not come.
It's not embarrassing enough.
Not even for free.
But now, this is the case: some antiques cannot be auctioned, but after the auction, interested treasure friends can go and take a look.
Maybe there's something you like?
"I like ancient weapons the most." Old Zhang said: "Last time, I found some arrowheads from around the end of the Yuan Dynasty."
"Think about it, maybe it was an arrow used by a certain party when the heroes were fighting in the late Yuan Dynasty."
"Maybe it was the arrow that shot Chen Youliang to death."
"One arrow can decide the world."
"Ha ha."
This is collecting antiques, another kind of enjoyment. I was holding a snuff bottle from the late Qing Dynasty, and I couldn't help but guess that because the snuff bottle was so exquisite, it might have been used by some important figure in history. For another example, ancient paintings often have many seals from their previous owners. Emperor Qianlong liked to put his own [private seal] on ancient paintings.
When you buy this ancient painting, you can imagine: hundreds of years ago, the majestic Emperor Qianlong, just like you, carefully watched this ancient painting, what a feeling...
"Okay." Uncle Li Xiong said.
From this, Li Xiong, Xiao Fan and Lao Zhang went up to the third floor together. There are many antiques on the third floor, but they are three points lower than those previously auctioned, so they were not included in the auction. At this time, there was a precious friend browsing among them casually.
"Well, this painting has a good style, but it's a pity that it's only half of it, and there's no style." Lao Zhang said regretfully: "It seems to have the charm of Tang Bohu, but it's a pity that it doesn't have the style, so it can't be confirmed."
"Maybe it's an imitation of Tang Bohu."
"Well, look at this old Lingzi. It should be from the early Qing Dynasty. It was imitated by Tang Bohu. It's a pity that it's no longer available."
"Look, here is a restored porcelain bowl from the Third Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty."
"Not bad, not bad, but it's a pity that it has been restored."
"Yes, there is still a part missing. Otherwise, it would definitely be on the auction block."
"I want it." At this time, Baoyou said.
That is, broken porcelain pieces and restored antiques.
"Look, there is a Xuande furnace here."
"Imitation."
"I think it looks good."
"Haha, so-called: I borrowed two antique books, watched three episodes of Ma Weidu, and never touched a real thing... I reached out and bought a Xuande stove! Old Qian, it turns out that you are the one I'm talking about."
"Ahem," said the old man, "even if it's an imitation, it's not the imitation now."
"I watch the late Qing Dynasty the most."
"Even later."
"It's very imitative."
······
A group of people started talking, discussing whether it was true or false. In fact, even if it is fake, it may not be worthless. For example, many painters also like to imitate the paintings of their predecessors. Although the paintings are imitations, they are still very valuable. As the saying goes, big names imitate big names.
Xiao Fan was even less interested in these inferior antiques. He looked at the exquisite blood jade bracelet and said, "Li Yiyi, is she willing?"
"It's probably quite overwhelming."
"Then Huang Li will definitely say that this blood jade is worthless."
"call."
Xiao Fan couldn't help but think of the time when Qi Nan gave a black pearl bracelet to Li Yiyi. Li Yiyi was very happy at that time because she liked Qinan. Because she likes Qinan, she wears the black pearl bracelet as a gift from Qinan on her wrist every day.
As a result, the day she was kidnapped... the black pearl turned out to be a key clue.
"Even if I gave the blood jade bracelet to Li Yiyi, I guess Li Yiyi wouldn't wear it every day."
"Forget it, let's give it away. After all, it's Uncle Li Xiong's wish."
"What should I say to Uncle Li Xiong?"
More than a month later, I broke up with Li Yiyi.
"Uncle Li Xiong, he is very excited now and looking forward to having his grandson."
How to speak?
I even bought the Avalokitesvara.
But at this moment, an accident happened. Although the antiques here are not as good as others, there are still people buying them, and it becomes lively for a while. But at this moment, Xiao Fan suddenly felt something in his heart. How keen is his [Soul Power]? At this time, Xiao Fan walked up to a big box and said, "Well, what's in the box?"
The waitress immediately smiled and said: "Well, in this box is half a bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty."
"Oh? Bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty? Take it out and have a look." Xiao Fan said.
"Okay." The waitress nodded, opened the box, and took out half of the rusty bronze mirror.
Upon discovering Xiao Fan's actions, Lao Zhang and several other familiar treasure friends immediately came together.
"Oh, Xiaofan, did you miss it again?" Uncle Li Xiong said in surprise.
You really cheer me up.
Missed it again.
"Yeah." Uncle Li Xiong looked over excitedly.
But several treasure friends looked at it and said doubtfully: "This bronze mirror seems to be very ordinary."
"That's right," said Lao Zhang, "Looking at the pattern on the edge of the bronze mirror, it must belong to the mid-Tang Dynasty."
"But, first of all," Lao Zhang said, "there is too much patina on this mirror."
Corrosion is severe.
"Second, this is just half a bronze mirror."
Mutilated.
"This is indeed not a good antique." Lao Zhang finally said.
Everyone remembered Xiao Fan picking up the leak twice and began to look at the bronze mirror carefully. Is there any small print somewhere that proves this is a bronze mirror used by a big shot? For example, the Li Tang royal family? For example, a certain civil servant or military general? But after looking at this rusty half-copper mirror for a long time, there were no clues.
The number of bronze mirrors from the Tang Dynasty is already quite large. In addition, this bronze mirror is too corroded and only has half of it, so it looks like an ordinary antique no matter how you look at it.
