Even though Jubao Pavilion's name is very unsophisticated, the store does have something as its name suggests.
But just as He Ren thought, although the things were real, they were expensive.
For example, those jade plaques sold in Catfish Shop are also available in Jubao Pavilion, and the price has increased by about 20%. There are also some antique calligraphy and paintings, which are similar.
He Ren can also understand. After all, the store has a lot of messy expenses such as rent, labor, water and electricity, and it is definitely impossible to have the same price as the online store.
This kind of antique shop owner will not run away, and can also issue invoices. You can buy with confidence. There will be no clearance items sold as Qing Dynasty items, and there will be no situation where strangers cheat half and acquaintances win.
Of course, what He Ren is talking about is a normal store that wants to open for a long time, not a store that just makes a profit and runs away.
If some treasure friends prefer not to issue invoices, that’s hard to say...
Jubao Pavilion is relatively friendly to people with social fears. When He Ren came in, the boss just nodded and said hello, and no one came to sell. He Ren went shopping by himself.
However, after walking around for a while, He Ren found that the boss didn't display anything that was too valuable. This is normal. Generally, tourists who visit Liulichang are tourists, and they don't buy anything that is too expensive.
If there are regular customers or big clients, they will probably have to go to the backyard to trade, where the boss probably won't let He Ren watch, especially if it's a live broadcast.
But He Ren also saw something slightly valuable, which was a vertical scroll of calligraphy hanging in the hall.
He wrote: "When you write poetry, you must have this poem. You must know that you are not a poet. When you paint, you must have this painting. Gradually, you will become close to children."
When He Ren saw the title, it read "Po Wengyu. Daqian Zhang Yuan". When he got closer, he saw that it was really Zhang Daqian's private seal.
He Ren signaled Liu Fei to come over and explained to his treasure friends, "This is Zhang Daqian's running script, and the poem is about Su Shi. Zhang Daqian is considered a fan of Su Dongpo, not only because both of them are from Sichuan, but more importantly, Zhang Daqian Appreciating Su Shi's transcendent and free and easy character is a bit like having been friends for a long time. Therefore, Zhang Daqian often spared no effort in pen and ink and wrote and painted many works about Su Shi."
Treasure lovers don't care much about where Zhang Daqian and Su Shi are from. They want to know whether the calligraphy in front of them is authentic and how much it is worth.
He Ren smiled and shook his head, "It's an authentic work. The market price is about 600,000-800,000 yuan... Everyone thought it was wrong. Zhang Daqian's paintings did fetch over 100 million yuan, but calligraphy is not that expensive."
"My little friend has very good eyesight. This calligraphy is indeed Daqian's original work. I bought it from an auction and it cost 900,000."
He Ren was a little ashamed. He had just secretly checked the price. This calligraphy was auctioned by Poly two years ago. The reserve price was 600,000 and the transaction price was 890,000. Unexpectedly, the boss came to challenge it.
He Ren was also a little depressed. He already had a treasure appraisal eye, so couldn't he be given an appraisal eye? Or give me an appraiser? It’s so inconvenient to check the old auction website...
With a ding, the system seemed to hear He Ren's complaint, and the electronic sound sounded, "Permanent mission: successfully identify 1,000 treasures, and reward the valuation system. The system will give the corresponding market price range based on the host's identification of the treasures, and it consumes mental energy when turned on. "
He Ren perked up, that's right. How can there be a system that sends a skill and then nothing happens? Even if there is no newbie gift package, there is not even a mission?
Now that he has this task, He Ren at least has a direction to work towards.
1,000 treasures may seem like a lot, but it’s actually not much. After shopping around just now, He Ren at least identified more than 10 treasures with his treasurer’s eye. There are also some treasures that look fake at first glance without using his treasurer’s eye. If so, If you do the math, this task can be completed quickly, which is equivalent to giving it away for free.
As a result, before He Ren could test it, a middle-aged man suddenly walked in at the door. He was very tall and held several brocade boxes containing calligraphy and paintings in his arms.
The boss immediately greeted him, helped the big man get the brocade box, and then led the big man to sit down at the Eight Immortals table near He Ren. The two murmured for a while, and the boss walked up to He Ren again, "I just heard my little friend's advice. I have gained a lot. I believe that the little friend must have some unique insights into calligraphy and painting. I just want to collect a few fans. I wonder if I can ask the little friend to come forward and take a look? Palm palm eye? "
He Ren was startled, what kind of statement is this?
A store as big as Jubao Pavilion has no experts? Want him to look at a guest he has never met? He Ren was immediately ready to refuse. He felt there was something wrong.
"Isn't it good? I'm live broadcasting."
Unexpectedly, the boss's eyes were bright and he said, "It's okay, I just want everyone to be a witness."
The treasure friends in the live broadcast room must be watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. They all asked He Ren to come over and take a look. At this time, He Ren guessed what the boss meant. The things in the hands of the middle-aged man were probably of unknown origin. The boss This is to let He Ren be a witness and absolve himself of responsibility.
With the live video, the middle-aged man will definitely not be able to escape, and if it is really stolen, the middle-aged man will not dare to agree.
After thinking about this, He Ren had no worries and clasped his fists, "Then I'll take a bold look. If I'm wrong, boss, please bear with me."
The boss laughed and said, "You're welcome, please."
He Ren took Zhang Nuo and Liu Fei over. The middle-aged man just frowned and did not refuse. He Ren felt relieved. It seemed that the things must have come by the right way, but the middle-aged man was a little cautious. Maybe he encountered something. Damn, it's embarrassing to be forced to sell.
The things were quickly taken out, and He Ren's eyes lit up. They were really good things.
The four fans are the calligraphy of Liu Yong, Prince Cheng Yongxuan, Weng Fanggang and Tie Bao. These four people are all good at calligraphy and are called "the four major calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty".
Liu Yong should be the most familiar to everyone, Liu Luoguo. His calligraphy skills are very high, and his fans are also the most expensive. When there are many competitors, they can cost tens of thousands.
The prices of the fans of several other people are quite different. Xiao Wan can buy them. When there are no competitors, he can buy them for a few thousand yuan.
The main reason is that they left too many calligraphy treasures. The Qing Dynasty was also close to the present. There are too many things, so naturally they are less valuable.
However, the four fans in the hands of the middle-aged man are not ordinary. The contents are all copied from "Leek Flower Tie", which is known as the fifth running script in the world.
A single fan can be sold for tens of thousands. What is rare is that someone actually collected the "Leek Flower Calligraphy" from "the four major calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty". The price is expensive.
He Ren checked and found no auction records for the complete set. He estimated that the middle-aged man would ask for at least 400,000 yuan.
He Ren was still conservative. The middle-aged man slapped him directly and asked for five hundred thousand.
The boss looked at each one for a long time and didn't see any flaws. He Ren thought well. The boss actually wanted to use He Ren's live broadcast room to be a witness. He himself is an expert in treasure appraisal and does not need He Ren's palm.
But the words had already been spoken, and the boss still invited, "Little friend, come and take a look."
He Ren put on the white gloves handed over by the clerk, picked up Liu Yong's fan first, and opened his mouth, "The ink is thick, the body is strong, the body is thick, and it has a unique look. Unfortunately, it is not the lower regular script that Liu Yong is best at..." It’s true…something’s not right!”
Um?
Not only the boss, but everyone was stunned.
