In fact, many people think that buying something for tens or hundreds of yuan and selling it for hundreds or tens of millions is considered a waste. People like He Ren who buy something for ten or twenty thousand yuan and sell it for one hundred thousand yuan don't make much sense.
Scammers also take advantage of everyone's psychology, so there are cases where people spend hundreds of dollars to buy Ge Kiln, Ru Kiln and Chicken Jar Cups.
If you think about it carefully, it's impossible. Everyone is playing with antiques. Why do you think they don't understand anything?
If you want to spend a few hundred yuan to buy an antique worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, it is impossible unless you meet someone who knows nothing about it.
So He Ren very sincerely advised Yun Danfengqing, "Brother, according to my opinion, you should start with the porcelain pieces first, get more hands on them, and then play with the complete device after you understand the basic characteristics of the porcelain of each period."
"Okay, teacher. Thank you, teacher."
Yun Danfengqing took the initiative to cut off the video, and He Ren shook his head. He knew that the elder brother probably would not stop.
It is difficult for a person who is obsessed like this to turn back. Even though he wrote so many notes, it is actually just psychological comfort. He will be fooled regardless of whether he is fooled.
"Let's welcome our next treasure friend."
"Hey, hello, big brother."
He Ren was confused, where have all the beautiful ladies gone? Why is it another eldest brother who looks to be in his fifties?
"Hello, teacher, I want you to help me look at a gourd bottle."
The eldest brother was holding a pastel porcelain gourd vase with hundreds of flowers, but before He Ren could speak, the eldest brother told the story first, "I received this gourd vase from a fellow villager, and it was passed down from his uncle's ancestors. His uncle worked as a housekeeper for a fellow scholar more than two hundred years ago. Later, he retired and returned to his hometown, and his uncle gave him this gourd bottle as a souvenir."
Now that the eldest brother has started telling stories, He Ren must cooperate, "Since it is passed down from ancestors, why sell it?"
"About three years ago, by chance, I saw a fellow villager holding a baggage at a street stall and trying to sell something. I approached him and struck up a conversation. I learned that he wanted to raise money for his son to get a wife, so I gave him the ancestral things. Even if he took it out and sold it, he would be reluctant to part with it.”
Not to mention He Ren, Baoyou in the live broadcast room also sensed that something was wrong. This story sounded like a routine.
"Brother, how much did you spend?"
"Twenty thousand. It's a big mistake."
He Ren's head ached, "Brother, you collected them according to the pastels, right?"
"That's right, the official kiln pastel porcelain hundred-flower gourd vase from the Qianlong period."
"There is nothing wrong with your craftsmanship and name...it is indeed pastel porcelain." He Ren began to popularize science again, "pastel porcelain is a craft developed in the late Kangxi period. It is the best in the three periods of Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing. It has been handed down from generation to generation. There are not too many, there are quite a few imitations in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, but the craftsmanship has regressed, the layers are unclear, and the color is dull. The Hongxian porcelain bowl I bought at the street stall yesterday is actually made of pastel porcelain. One kind, everyone can see it, it’s brightly colored, but it has no soul.”
"As for the flower not falling to the ground, it actually means the flower not being exposed to the ground. The exposed exposure is a technique of overglaze coloring, which means that the porcelain body is covered with flowers, and no blank space is exposed. It is also called thousands of flowers. Brocade, pile of thousands of flowers, or picture of thousands of flowers presenting auspiciousness."
The eldest brother must have been happy to hear this, and he echoed it frequently.
Then He Ren changed the topic, "But brother, this one of yours cannot be from Qianlong, it's something new."
"How is that possible!" The elder brother immediately became anxious. "I have asked many experts to appraise it, and they all said it was genuine. More than one expert valued it at eight figures."
He Ren had long expected that his elder brother would say this, "Then will these experts ask you to participate in the auction? First pay an appraisal fee, and then pay a security deposit? Oh no, it should be called the catalog fee now. Some companies You will also be asked to pay a promotion fee.”
"how do you know?"
"Everyone on earth knows..." He Ren immediately changed his mind, "I mean, it's all done this way. It's the money they make, not the auction fees. In fact, the things can't be sold at all, and they must all be unsold. . The small-scale auctions they hold are not real, and they will not spend money to promote them. There will be no collectors attending their auctions. Even if there are cases of transactions, they are entrusted to you to see."
The eldest brother is still arrogant, "But I also visited the heirs of the high imitation family in Jingdezhen. They said that this high imitation is very difficult. Ordinary painters can't draw it at all. Even for masters, it may take several months to draw a good one. If you don't pay attention, It would have to be repainted. And it would have to be in dozens of colors. The paint will change color as soon as it is burned, so it is basically impossible to imitate it very closely."
"That's right." He Ren picked up the phone and there was a picture on it. He enlarged it and put it in front of the camera. "Brother, look, is this exactly the same as your gourd bottle?"
The elder brother's eyes widened, "Where did you get this picture?"
"This is a Qianlong pastel colored gourd vase with hundreds of flowers that was auctioned by Sotheby's in 2004. It was from a genuine official kiln. The transaction value was more than 22 million yuan. It is very likely that the flowers on your gourd vase were directly cut out and then used a computer to create Picture, laser or decal on it.”
"But people from the Gaofang family..."
"Brother, did you give anyone money at that time?"
"Give it..."
"That's right, think about it for yourself. Let's not talk about whether people who make high imitations will admit it so easily. Even if they admit it, they won't tell you all about their cooking skills. There is a high probability that you will also be deceived. ”
Seeing the elder brother's silence, He Ren added another punch, "If you still don't believe it, just open Xixi and use the picture recognition function to take a picture and try it. I guess you can buy the same style as yours for about two to three hundred yuan. "
The eldest brother is still online, so of course he can't check it out. However, my treasure friends are very enthusiastic and someone has already checked it out.
He Ren glanced at the barrage and said, "I overestimated it. You can get it at the cheapest price of 159. Brother, you must have been wise."
The elder brother's silence was deafening. He Ren shook his head. There were too many treasure friends like the elder brother who tried to make a fortune by picking up leaks. In essence, it was almost the same as being addicted to buying lottery tickets.
Don't look at the fact that I only spent 20,000 yuan to buy the gourd bottle. I definitely spent a lot of money on various appraisal fees, catalog fees and travel expenses. This big brother also went to Jingdezhen to find the counterfeiters. He probably also spent a lot of consulting fees. This money is far away. Far more than 20,000, maybe 200,000.
The eldest brother is obviously not willing to accept the reality, "But I was also appraised by experts from the Forbidden City. I even went to a treasure appraisal program to see the experts. They all said it was very good. I also spent a lot of money on the appraisal fee..."
"Experts from the Forbidden City..."
He Ren was dumbfounded, "Brother, how can experts from the Forbidden City cooperate with those small auction companies? As for the treasure appraisal program experts you mentioned, I don't know about this. Maybe some experts speak more euphemistically, and you misunderstood the meaning."
"Brother, don't participate in treasure appraisal programs. It's a waste of time and money."
He Ren didn't expect that his casual words would get him into trouble...
