Chapter 1249
I asked him what kind of car?
He said it was a Hutou Ben and it had just been driven for a few years.
I was afraid that he would take my stuff and run away, so I took it back and said, "It's a bit different, brother. The two Hutouben are about the same."
Another young man was talking to me about those Guangxu official kiln plates. He found fault with me: "Brother, judging from the things you have displayed, you should be very capable. This pair of plates of yours are genuine official kiln. But the dragon pattern is not well drawn, it is too soft and lacks some official spirit."
"That's nonsense!"
I said: "This is originally a second-level official kiln. How much is it worth 100,000 yuan? It's so cheap!"
"The dragon pattern painting is too soft? If it's not soft, is it still a Guangxu official kiln? It's a fake. If you want to bargain, don't be so picky. Do you think I don't understand?"
This man was speechless by my rebuke.
I'm telling the truth. The dragon patterns in official kilns in the late Qing Dynasty are generally very weak. The dragon's body is painted like noodles. In our industry, it is called a noodle dragon. The dragon's claws are weak and the dragon's eyes are drooped and looking down, which means it is senile.
Before Qianlong, the dragon patterns in the early Qing Dynasty were very fierce, not just noodles. The dragon body was like a spring, twisted together, the dragon claws were extremely sharp, and the dragon's eyes stared outward, which was extremely fierce and domineering.
So, if you see extremely ferocious dragon patterns on porcelain from Daoguang, Guangxu, Xuantong, or these years, don’t worry about it, just raise a question mark, because it transcends the characteristics of that era. Might be a high imitation.
This guy couldn't talk to me, so after talking for a long time, he bought a plate from me for 40,000 yuan.
He laughed and said, "Brother, can you keep the rest of the plates for me? I don't have that much money now, so I'm going to borrow money right now."
"Come on, whip me, haha."
I took the cigarette and said, "I'll leave you a day or two to go. I'll probably not be in Luoyang anymore."
"Then two days! Within two days! I will definitely come and buy the remaining plates. You must keep them for me!"
"Well, you should do it as soon as possible."
I held a cigarette in my mouth and took out my lighter to light up.
Just started the fire.
"call!"
A bald man about forty years old blew me away with a cold face.
I frowned and started again.
"call!"
He blew it out for me again!
I put down the cigarette and said with a cold face: "Are you looking for trouble with me?"
He said: "Boy, you just came from out of town? Don't you understand the rules?"
"What rules."
He pointed at my stall:
"Listen, I don't care where you come from! This is Luoyang, where I am coiled by a dragon and laid down by a tiger. You are not allowed to sell these tens of thousands of things without Boss Song's nod! Understand! Already? This is the rule."
"Not convinced? You don't know who Boss Song is, right?"
I smiled and said, "Yes, I know a few of their brothers. If you don't believe me, just ask."
"know??"
"wait!"
He immediately ran to make a phone call, and after a minute or two, he shouted to me: "What's your name?"
"Just say, it's Shenyan Peak."
He held it and said a few words, then frowned and said, "Boy, are you fucking kidding me? The boss said he doesn't know the Divine Eye Peak!"
My expression changed.
"Just say he is Silver Fox's apprentice, his surname is Xiang."
He muttered a few words, and after hanging up the phone, his attitude changed 180 degrees.
"Haha! It turns out to be you, brother! I've seen it a long time ago! You are not an ordinary person!"
"Brother, close the stall quickly. The boss told you not to sell here. Go to his Cultural City to sell. There are plenty there and the boss wants them."
The full name of "Cultural City" is "Luoyang Zongheng Cultural City".
Old Luoyang people born in the 1980s may know this place as an underground black market for cultural relics run by the Song brothers.
Here, there is only a wall separated from Luoyang Jianxi Branch...
In 2020, Zongheng Cultural City was seized. Also seized was the mobile app of Zongheng Cultural City. This is an auction website. Only those who have obtained an internal invitation code and registered as a member can participate in the auction.
It’s similar to Wei Paitang, Xianyu, but... here, they sell serious cultural relics, including first-class cultural relics and special-grade cultural relics!
Many of them are of a life-long quality, and among them Tang Sancai can only be considered mid-range.
I have seen so many good things that I rarely say the word "eye-opening".
But this time I went there, it was really eye-opening.
Let me put it this way, compared to Zongheng Cultural City.
There is not enough to see in the Luoyang City Museum and even the Henan Provincial Museum.
There are many treasures here, making it a paradise for lovers of underground cultural relics.
A black market within a black market.
