By the late Qianlong period, the Qing Dynasty was already in decline, declining from its peak to prosperity, and its national power was severely depleted. During the Jiaqing period, the problem became more and more prominent. Although the porcelain was diversified in pastels, the imperial wares fired by the official kilns were obviously not as good as those during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qianzhonglou Porcelain Shop had genuine products from the Jiaqing period, but Li Mo looked carefully and found that the pastel plate had flaws, which greatly reduced its value.
After looking at a few more porcelains, Li Mo was a little disappointed. Except for the restored "Shihuyuan" plum vase from the Qianlong period, the rest were from the late Qing Dynasty. There was also one from the Republic of China, which was a hundred years old. .
"Sir, are you interested in anything?"
"How much does that cost? Don't tell me 600,000." Li Mo pointed to the Heshen plum vase. If the price was right, he could take it back.
After all, He Shen still left a very strong mark on history.
"I need to ask the boss about this."
"Go ahead, I'll go outside and look at the high imitation porcelain."
Li Mo walked out with his hands behind his back. There were quite a lot of porcelain styles on the Bogu rack, but they were still much inferior to those of Gu Yunxuan. Although they are said to be high imitations, in fact, if you take a closer look, many styles are slightly rough in workmanship, and some are even artificially distressed.
The older the porcelain is, the more valuable it is.
Really valuable porcelain is one that has a long history, a complete appearance, a new glaze, and a clear inheritance record.
"Why are you still blocking the door? Are you going to leave or not? If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, I will call the police."
"Little girl, I just want your boss to take a look at it. These are really good things passed down from our ancestors."
"Our boss is not here, and neither is the palm master. It is useless even if you wait a day and a night. Besides, if your porcelain is really a good thing passed down from our ancestors, it should have been protected with various protective measures long ago. It can still be like you Just use a snakeskin bag to carry them over and think of them as cabbage."
"I don't understand either."
"You don't understand what it has to do with me, go away, go away."
The two people were still in a stalemate at the door. Li Mo took a few steps closer and looked. The man blocking the door was about forty years old. His right leg seemed a little disabled. He stood there with his right foot raised to maintain balance.
At his feet lay an old-fashioned snakeskin bag common in rural areas, with many stains on its surface.
But what made Li Mo curious was that the skin on the man's face and hands was not as rough as that of people who came from farming in the countryside. His outfit looked a bit intentional.
Does it make people relax their vigilance towards him?
Li Mo's eyes penetrated the snakeskin bag, and then there were several haloes in his eyes, including the gray halo of the Qing Dynasty, the blue halo of the Ming Dynasty, and the orange halo of the Song Dynasty. Damn it, the porcelain in the snakeskin pocket that man brought was actually genuine, and there were more than six pieces in total.
If you are in the antique business or collector, it is normal to have a few genuine pieces in your hands. But the person in front of me didn’t know his background, and six items suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Hello, sir, our boss said that the 'Shiwa Garden' and the plum vase made by Shen are at least 70,000 yuan, because we spent 30,000 yuan when we first collected them, and it cost another 20,000 yuan to repair them by experts, so It takes at least 70,000 yuan to take action.”
The clerk was a little worried. This was a business with a good value. If the transaction was completed, he would get a commission of 3,000 yuan.
"Boss, 70,000 is a bit expensive. I suggest you check out other stores. Maybe there are better ones." Chen Feng suggested at the side. The other party suddenly dropped from 600,000 to 70,000, which means there must be more. The room for decline is a useful tool for businessmen. You must always leave yourself a way out.
"I'll take a look at the others." Li Mo didn't make a decision immediately. He started looking at the bookshelf. He is actually putting a little pressure on the other party to see if he can still take the initiative to lower himself.
There were a total of eight book racks in the store. He slowly looked at them all the way, and suddenly his eyes stopped on a celadon-glazed porcelain.
The porcelain has a unique shape. The bottle has an octagonal shape, a round mouth, a long neck that gradually widens downwards, and is decorated with double string patterns. It has drooping shoulders, sharp edges and corners, a plump belly, a dignified shape, and softness within its rigidity.
The bottom supports the eight-sided circle foot, and the tire is dark brown iron color. The whole body is covered with celadon glaze, which is slightly gray, like the color of water reflecting the clear sky, clear and translucent, with Danxia hidden in it, without losing the warmth. The texture of the flakes is naturally golden, with varying shades.
The enamel is rich and smooth like jade. The glaze on the edge of the mouth is slightly flowing and open, and the color is purple. The glaze on the edge of the circle is slightly accumulated, and the texture is like gelatin.
Li Mo's first impression was that the Bafang bottle was genuine. He had seen such a shape in auction records. Looking at it with different eyes, a dazzling orange light was emitted from the Bafang bottle. The aperture spread out like ripples, and the eyes immediately turned into an orange world.
There was a big leak among the pile of high imitations. Li Mo retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward. When he saw the seventh book shelf, he found another porcelain, which was a pastel bird and lotus pattern plate from the late Qing Dynasty. However, there were obvious bumps on the edge of the plate, which looked so dazzling.
If you buy this kind of porcelain and find it repaired by a master, it will be regarded as a good porcelain.
Two genuine items were found in the eight ancient racks, and Li Mo felt that today's trip was worthwhile.
"Boss, how about we go to the next one?"
"Okay, let's go."
"Wait a minute, sir, if you sincerely want to buy it, how much do you think is appropriate?" The clerk was anxious and asked Li Mo to make an offer. It was obvious that he had lost his bearings.
"Can you agree to my offer of five thousand? Originally, I wanted to buy a batch of porcelain to decorate the bookcases, but you guys are not honest enough in doing business."
"Fifty thousand is our boss's lowest price."
The clerk directly gave the final price, and she also made a last-ditch effort to make it happen.
"Fifty thousand?" Li Mo thought about it and said, "Okay, just fifty thousand. Since I bought it from you, let's buy the other porcelain for decorating the bookcase here too. There is heavy snow outside, and I don't want to run around anymore."
"Okay, okay, thank you, sir." The clerk was a little excited. Anyway, he finally negotiated the order and got a lot of bonus.
The generosity of Li Mo's next move stunned everyone else in the store. Instead of choosing two or three, he directly pointed to the fourth and seventh shelves with his hand and said: "If the price is right, I want them all."
Chen Feng reacted quickly enough. The junior brother must have taken a fancy to a certain porcelain. Otherwise, there were more than thirty porcelains on the two ancient shelves, and it would be useless for him to buy them back.
"The boss asked you to calculate the price, what are you doing stupidly? Our company still has a lot of places that need to be placed with decorations. Let's try placing this batch after buying it. If the effect is good, we will buy another batch, so the price is yours It's up to you."
No one in the store had any doubts at this time. Look at the big boss. Either he doesn’t buy it or he buys dozens of them. You may not meet one such high-roller every year, so the clerk who receives them rushes to seek help from colleagues.
After some statistics, I was finally told that there were thirty-four pieces of porcelain in this batch, with an average price of 2,600 yuan per piece, totaling 88,400 yuan.
Li Mo turned to look at Chen Feng. Her expression became slightly better and she whispered: "It's cheaper than what I bought before."
"Okay, pack everything up." Li Mo looked at the weather outside and said, "It's hard to deliver goods in this snowy weather. Mr. Chen, please contact Xiaojun and others to come and move the goods. Stop driving, just in case."
"OK."
Chen Feng took out her mobile phone to contact someone from the security department, and then she took out her card and paid it all at once.
