He Ren didn't even think about picking up leaks on the silver coins.
There were so many types of silver coins during the Republic of China. The most famous Yuan Datou had more than 70 editions, and Sun Xiaotou also had more than 30 editions. There were also various silver coins issued by warlords and regions. There are hundreds of them in total, and it’s almost impossible to recognize them all.
The most circulated and extant one is Yuan Datou. The most expensive one is undoubtedly the signed edition. A Yuan Datou signed Yuan Yuan edition once sold for a high price of more than 2 million. The Gansu three-year stamped edition also sold for one this year. The price is over one million.
The most common 3rd year edition of the Republic of China is the Zhongbai or Dabai, and the price gap between them is huge.
So sometimes some people will use the subtle differences to deceive others. This is the reason why Zhang Nuo was deceived just now. He thought he missed it, but he was actually fooled.
The stall owner had at least several hundred silver coins on his stall. He Ren could use his eye to pick out the silver coins. He also believed that he would definitely find the silver coins, but he couldn't do this.
Looking at hundreds of silver coins one by one? I will probably faint after watching He Ren.
Moreover, the boss dared to change the Gansu three-year version to the Gansu three-year fallen leaf version. He obviously knew the silver dollar very well. If He Ren saw something missing, he could not guarantee that the boss would not recognize it.
If you want to make the boss pay the price, you have to start with what the boss is not good at. It happened that He Ren saw an apple statue on the stall.
As the name suggests, Apple Zun is a porcelain bottle that looks like an apple. It is one of the more typical porcelains in the Kangxi period. It is mostly used as a water bowl, that is, to hold water, and is used to add water to the inkstone pool. Therefore, it is also known as the fifth of the four treasures of the study.
There are two types of apple statues, neckless and neckless. The neckless one is more like an apple, while the necked one is a bit like a vase, but not as big.
The one on the stall was neckless. Zhang Nuo asked in a low voice, "Is this the Apple Zun? It belongs to Kangxi?"
He Ren did not comment, but looked at the boss. The boss was also a little strange. In fact, he was not afraid of He Ren looking for trouble. He had been studying silver coins for more than 20 years and was famous throughout Liulichang. He thought that no one was his opponent, but it turned out that he was not. Thinking that He Ren was asking about a piece of porcelain.
This apple statue was bought by the boss for shopping. It is undoubtedly from the Kangxi period. However, the mouth of the statue is broken and there are signs of repair. He only spent 5,000 yuan when he received it.
There is a saying in the antique shop that "if porcelain has lint, it is not worth a penny."
This means that compared to a complete device, as long as there is a small gap, the value will drop several times, more than ten times, or even dozens of times.
Just like the underglaze red apple statue from the Kangxi period that He Ren asked, it is obviously from the official kiln. If it is complete, it can be sold for about 300,000, but this kind of one with traces of repair can only be sold for about 30,000. .
Of course, the street stall owner would not take the initiative to say that the Apple statue had been repaired, "This is not for sale, it is for my personal collection."
He Ren smiled slightly, the boss was obviously trying to cover up, wouldn't he sell? Then why are you showing off?
"Boss, I really like this Apple statue. Please give me a price."
"That's okay." This boss's acting skills were obviously not very good. "Since I like it, I'll give it to you three hundred thousand yuan."
Before He Ren could say anything, Zhang Nuo jumped up first. She was already upset about being treated in a bad way, but now she saw her boss talking so loudly, she was naturally upset.
"What's three hundred thousand? Do you think we are three-year-old children?"
The boss was nonchalant, "You want to buy my stuff, and I don't have to sell it. If I don't buy it, I'll leave. There's so much nonsense."
He Ren smiled and said, "Boss, I really want to buy it. It's okay if you ask for 300,000 yuan, but you have to let me know if it's worth it, right?"
"It's definitely worth it." Seeing that He Ren was really interested, the boss naturally wouldn't refuse. He picked up the apple statue and introduced it, "Look at the color, it's called underglaze red. Did you know it's underglaze red?"
"Know a thing or two."
"Hey." The boss said curiously, "Then tell me."
He Ren’s main business is live broadcasting, so he definitely needs to popularize some treasure appraisal knowledge. He happens to have relatively solid theoretical knowledge, so he immediately said, “Underglaze red was created in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. The process is similar to that of Yuan blue and white, using copper oxide as the After the coloring agent is used to draw patterns on the porcelain body, the transparent glaze is applied, and then it is fired in a kiln in a high-temperature reducing flame atmosphere of about 1300°C.”
"Underglaze red is a type of underglaze color and has extremely high temperature requirements. If the temperature is too low, the color will turn black; if the temperature is too high, the color will fly off. The general error cannot exceed 10°C, which is very difficult for ancient kilns. It is very difficult to work. Therefore, underglaze red is also very scarce. In history, it was only fully fired during the Yuan Dynasty, the Yongle Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, and the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. It is quite rare in other periods."
"This underglaze red apple statue was obviously produced by an official kiln during the Kangxi period. It belongs to underglaze red line painting, which is to use lines to depict various patterns on the porcelain body."
"You can take a closer look. The abdomen of the Apple Statue is very round. It also depicts plums, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums, and there is no red color. It is considered a good product. If it is a complete instrument, 300,000 yuan is really not expensive."
The boss was filled with joy, thinking that he had made a profit this time. The boy in front of him was obviously one of those people who could only use half a bottle. He only looked at the bottom of the circle and the belly. He also took the initiative to say that 300,000 yuan was not expensive, and the boss would definitely be able to do it. Make a fortune.
Zhang Nuo and his friends were also confused. Putting aside whether this thing was worth 300,000 yuan, didn't He Ren say he wanted to help Zhang Nuo regain his position? Why do you suddenly start praising your boss's stuff? This is not a bargaining trick.
Of course He Ren is not a fool, he wants to say "but".
"But! Boss, your Apple Master is not worth 300,000 yuan. I think it's only 30,000 yuan."
He Ren, who is good at cornering, has been fooled by everyone again. Didn't he pay back 300,000 just now? Why is it only 30,000?
The boss's face darkened, "Aren't you trying to make fun of me?"
He Ren laughed and said, "Boss, didn't I just say that? A complete device is indeed worth three hundred thousand, but your Apple Master is not complete enough."
"Don't talk nonsense. Where is it incomplete?"
"Mingren, don't tell me any secrets. There is nothing wrong with your apple statue's bottom and abdomen. The problem is with your mouth. I don't even have to touch it to know that it has been repaired. It is very angry."
The boss's heart skipped a beat. He really didn't expect He Ren to be able to see the problem without getting started.
He Ren continued to make more cuts, "Why don't you, boss, take a look at the inner wall of the Apple statue? There must be traces of repairs on it. Boss, you are an expert, don't you know that porcelain is fluffy, and it's not worthy of any rules?"
The boss was at a loss for words, so He Ren struck while the iron was hot, "I guess this Apple Lord was also brought here by the boss to sell goods. We are destined to be together, so why not give it to both of us, I will pay..."
He Ren took out his mobile phone and clicked on it, "There are not many transactions of underglaze red this year. There is an Apple statue with rough edges that was sold for 30,000. After removing the handling fee, I will pay 25,000. How about it?"
The boss has been shaken. It has been two and a half years since Apple took over, and he has never made a move. Now that He Ren has offered 25,000 yuan, he can make a net profit of 20,000 yuan, which is still worth it.
But the boss still wanted to earn more, "How can there be such a high handling fee? At least 28,000."
He Ren nodded, glanced at Zhang Nuo, "Pay for it."
