"At an auction on Hong Kong Island two years ago, a blue and white plum vase with stories about characters from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was sold for a little over 400,000. Although this Jiajing blue and white plum vase is older, it is smaller. It's a lot, and the estimated market price is around 200,000. Boss Yao, if you resell it now, you can make around 170,000."
"I really can't tell. The young man is very familiar with the antique market. What you said is the same as what the expert in Shanghai said. At that time, he offered me 180,000 yuan and said he would make ten thousand or twenty thousand. He was a very straightforward and kind man. But I didn’t lack the hundreds of thousands, so I didn’t change hands and gave him a red envelope of 20,000, which was not only the appraisal fee but also a good relationship with that expert."
Boss Yao seemed to admire the expert very much.
"Boss Yao, who is that expert you are talking about? Maybe I know him too."
Curator Fu asked curiously.
"Of course it's Boss Yanagawa Qingliu, the famous head of Guyunxuan in the City God's Temple in the city. Last time I traveled to the city, I made a special trip to visit him. It was like meeting a real person. Boss Liu is not only a master of treasure appraisal, but also a master of calligraphy. , the calligraphy written in thin gold style is really superb. When I went there, many people came to ask for calligraphy."
"It turns out it's him, no wonder he's so powerful."
"When I go to the Magic City, I also want to visit that expert."
Boss Yao continued: "Last time, not only did I meet Boss Liu himself, but I also met his master, Mr. Song. He is really a fairy."
Curator Fu looked at Boss Yao, then at Li Mo who looked calm, interrupted Boss Yao with a smile and said: "Boss Yao, your Ming Jiajing blue and white plum vase has been appraised, and others have not taken out their collections yet. , should we continue?”
"That's right, keep on, keep on, I just said I'm happy. How about Lao Zheng, who is next? I heard that you also found a pair of good things in the market, show them to us."
The old man named Zheng took out a box from his bag. After opening it, there was a pair of golden accessories. The shape and texture looked like the style of an ethnic minority.
"What is this? It's relatively rare."
"It's made of gold. It's relatively heavy in weight, and the workmanship of the decoration is quite exquisite. It looks like a decoration you carry with you, like a hook."
"It's quite heavy. It's not pure gold. It looks like a modern handicraft."
"I don't think it looks like a handicraft. If you look closely at these patterns, there are obvious traces of manual carving. If they were made by a machine, they would definitely be smoother."
Several people have expressed their own opinions, but there is no definite identification result. The old man surnamed Zheng was a little proud when he saw that they couldn't figure it out. He also consulted several people before he finally determined the approximate origin.
"Director Fu, take a look too."
Curator Fu shook his head and replied: "This is miscellaneous gold items, not my specialty."
After saying that, he turned to look at Li Mo: "How about you get started?"
Everyone looked at Li Mo. Director Fu had an unusual attitude towards this young man. He first asked him, and this time he asked him again.
Li Mo smiled, stepped forward, picked up a piece of gold, played with it twice, then put it back into the box and said, "This gold ornament is called a belt buckle. This kind of accessory was used during the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, it was also called a belt hook." , which is used to hang things on the body. Judging from this decorative style, it can be traced back to the Liao Dynasty. You must know that those who can use gold belt buckles must be high-ranking officials, nobles, royal families, etc. "
"Affected by the gold refining technology at that time, this type of goldware was also called pure gold at the time, so ancient gold and silverware have always been popular for collection."
"This pair of accessories is Liaojin belt buckles. The market value is about 300,000. Mr. Zheng, how much did you spend when you bought them?"
Mr. Zheng looked at Li Mo, as if guessing his identity. This Liaojin belt buckle was determined after consulting several colleagues and checking the information. Unexpectedly, this young man in his early twenties came to the conclusion after playing with it twice.
"Old Zheng, what are you thinking about? Is the young man right?"
"You can tell by looking at his expression that he must be right."
"Young man, I didn't expect that you also have very good attainments in treasure appraisal. Is it inherited from your family or did you become a master?"
Old Man Zheng coughed lightly and said, "What he said is right. I spent 800 yuan to buy this pair of Liao and Jin belt buckles. The stall owner gave me an advantage because he didn't know the goods."
"Director Fu, you haven't properly introduced who this young man is?"
"Yes, we are all amateurs, don't end up getting slapped in the face in front of the master."
Qin Sirui pursed his lips with a smile.
"I learned a little bit from my teacher, and happened to encounter similar gold objects, so I can tell you a thing or two."
"Young man is very humble. Who is your teacher?" Boss Yao asked.
"Professor Zhu Changping, an archaeological expert from the Department of History at Peking University, has personally excavated gold artifacts from the Liao Dynasty in previous archaeological projects, so I can determine the origin of this pair of Liao and Jin belt buckles."
Director Fu glanced at Li Mo calmly. With this explanation, he could scare them.
"It turns out that your teacher is Professor Zhu, an expert in archeology. No wonder, a famous teacher makes a great disciple." Another old man took out a square box from his bag, with a piece of jade in it, "Young man, I also found a good piece of Can you comment on the jade?"
Li Mo looked around and did not comment on the jade. Instead, he said modestly: "I'm ashamed. I'm not a good student."
"This young man is a nice guy. If you understand, you understand. If you don't understand, you don't understand."
But Director Fu had an extra thought. If even Li Mo didn't understand it, then no one would understand jade appraisal. He said this because there must be something wrong with Yubi, so he avoided asking questions.
Li Mo smiled, took half a step back without leaving a trace, and touched Qin Sirui's arm with his elbow.
At this time, Qin Sirui raised his hand and looked at his watch and said softly: "Director Fu, we have made appointments with other people, why don't we come here first and participate in such treasure appraisal activities again in the future."
"That's right, I almost forgot about the business." Director Fu said hurriedly, "Boss Yao, everyone, I'm really sorry. Let's talk later when we have time."
After some polite exchanges, the three of them left the Bafang Tea House.
"Teacher Li, is there something wrong with the jade wall just now? I see that there are many different shades of red on it. It must have been there for a long time."
"That jade wall was made no more than twenty years ago, and the surface is the color of blood. Sirui understands me best and reacts quickly, so I found an excuse to come out."
"Can it take twenty years to create such a refreshing color?"
"If it is high-quality jade with high density, it will naturally be difficult to create those refreshing colors. But if it is inferior jade, it will be very simple to create that refreshing effect through chemical means. Fu Guan Chief, turn around and remind him from the side that leaving that thing around for a long time is not good for your health."
"I'll remind you if it's empty. Come on, let's go have lunch together. Jinling's local specialties. I'm sure you'll be satisfied if you try them."
