Dai Zhesan is naturally not his real name. The painter's real name is Dai Yin, whose courtesy name is Chunshi and who was born during the Qianlong period.
Dai Yin is good at landscapes, flowers and trees. Landscape master Wang Hui inherited the lineage of the Four Kings and belonged to the Yushan School.
He is a late bloomer and did not gradually become famous until the Daoguang period. The reason is that he was not born into a family of officials or scholars, but was born into a family of craftsmen.
Dai Yin's father is a master of kiln burning. Due to the pressure of life, Dai Yin has been helping his father since he was a child. Because he is too smart, he is already familiar with the skills of kiln burning.
His father originally wanted Dai Yin to take over, but Dai Yin's ambition was not that. Like most literati, he wanted to gain fame.
Unfortunately, Dai Yin's skills were a little off. He was really not good at imperial examinations. He could only focus on landscapes, calligraphy and painting, but he didn't expect to become famous in his paintings.
Of course, Dai Yin's interests and hobbies are not limited to these. He also particularly likes collecting ancient coins, especially Zhesan coins, so he also has a little-known title, Dai Zhesan.
Wei Ruixiang and Zhou Zhou can blurt out this title, and it seems that they usually study history and culture.
The treasure friends looked confused.
"Is Dai Yin famous? I've never heard of him?"
"That's right, anchor. Can a fake made by an unknown person be worth three hundred thousand?"
Wei Ruixiang saw the barrage and explained, "It's really good. The antique industry is all about telling a story, not a fake story, but a true story. As long as there is a story, the price of the thing will double. And Dai Yin is actually famous , not many of his works have been handed down to the world, but there are hundreds of thousands or millions of paintings. When it comes to blue and white porcelain, it is still unique, so Brother He has made a big mistake."
The treasure friends were more concerned about the price, so He Ren simply raised his hand and asked Wei Ruixiang to say it would be better.
Wei Ruixiang was not pretentious, "We'll see if anyone likes it. Although this fish basket-style statue is a replica of the Qing Dynasty, the material is also imported Suma Liqing. It should also be fired at the kiln in Jingdezhen. The quality is Not to mention its appearance, it is no problem to sell it for 3 to 50 million yuan. Add in this story, and it will cost at least 1 million yuan."
Zhou Zhou said at the right time, "Brother He, why don't you give me this fish basket style statue to operate?"
He Ren had no reason to refuse and readily agreed.
Of course, some treasure friends think it is unrealistic.
Can it be determined that it was made by Dai Yin with a "three-fold" seal? Isn't it a bit too childish? how to prove?
It cannot be proven, but it cannot be proven that it was not Dai Yin's fault.
Antique shops are all about deception, not to make the fake become real, but to add value to the treasure.
As Wei Ruixiang said, the quality and condition of this imitation are very good. The original imitation is worth hundreds of thousands, so it will definitely not be a loss if you buy it back.
If someone is willing to believe Dai Yin's story, it will not be a problem to sell it for millions.
Only then did the treasure friends understand why He Ren was so generous and smoked the Chantan Buddha. It turned out that he didn't value such a small amount of money at all.
Zhu Youcai looked yearning. He didn't care about the 1.8 million, but he yearned for the pleasure that He Ren felt when he was showing off. This is called playing with antiques...
So he brought up the jewelry box He Ren just bought, "Brother He, does this jewelry box in your hand also have a hidden secret?"
Zhu Youcai asked this, and everyone's curiosity came again.
He Ren didn't show off, but opened the jewelry box directly, "It's really interesting."
Everyone and Baoyou looked at it for a long time, but found nothing interesting. Zhang Nuo asked, "What's interesting about it? Isn't it just the Dark Eight Immortals Pattern?"
"Look here." He Ren took the knife from Zhu Youcai's hand, pointed at Tieguai Li's gourd and said, "The agency is here."
After saying that, He Ren pressed hard and heard a squeaking sound. The gourd dented in, and a small hidden compartment popped out of the jewelry box.
Everyone was shocked, especially the treasure friends, they had never seen such a sophisticated mechanism before.
He Ren smiled and said, "The wisdom of our ancestors is enough for those foreigners to learn for several lifetimes. Unfortunately, many mechanical skills have been lost. This is also related to the fact that many of our craftsmen cherish their brooms. But now they are much better. For example, Mr. Zhao has begun Openly accepting disciples is a good sign..."
At this point, He Ren changed the topic. Mr. Zhao's recruitment of disciples was not going smoothly. He was willing to pass on his craftsmanship, so he had very high requirements for his disciples. None of He Ren's treasure friends were chosen. Yes, there is still an advertisement for Mr. Zhao to recruit disciples in He Ren’s live broadcast room...
"I saw someone asked what the name of this agency was. Actually, I don't know. The name has been lost for a long time. However, some novels have a more appropriate name, called Du Zhongtang, which is quite vivid."
When everyone took a look, it was really like that.
He Ren used the tip of his knife to pick it up, and the secret compartment was completely pulled out. There was a white jade hairpin about fifteen centimeters long lying inside.
Wei Ruixiang was shocked, "Is this... from the Song Dynasty?"
He Ren shook his head secretly. If it were from the Song Dynasty, it would be worth a lot of money, but he knew it wasn't. According to the year given by the system, it was from the late Ming Dynasty.
However, He Ren couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only take out the white jade hairpin first, and then Zhang Nuo took it. Women are naturally irresistible to jewelry, especially such beautiful jewelry.
Zhang Nuo looked at it for a long time before asking, "Is this white marble?"
He Ren nodded, "It's white marble. There's no sun right now, otherwise if you look at the sun, you can see stars all over your eyes. And if you look at the lines on it, it looks a bit like sweat stains. This is a typical feature of white marble."
Wei Ruixiang took over the white jade hairpin and was also amazed, "The whole body is decorated with auspicious patterns, and the head is carved with dragon patterns. The combination of the pattern and the hairpin is very clever. It is undoubtedly a master craftsman, but it is a pity that it is white marble."
Wei Ruixiang's words caused the CPU to burn out.
"What a pity it's white marble?"
"The white jade from the Han Dynasty is still valuable?"
"Did Old Wei say it wrong?"
He Ren was happy, "White marble is not the white jade of the Han Dynasty. This Chinese is a Chinese character, which actually means sweat. White marble is not jade. Strictly speaking, it should be a kind of marble. Many fake jade plaques and seals are made of Made of white marble, on the one hand it is cheap, but on the other hand it looks very white and can deceive people.”
"It's a pity that it's not white marble. Judging from the coating of this hairpin, it should be from the late Ming Dynasty. The price of white marble hairpins from the late Ming Dynasty will not be low. It's a pity that there is no signature on it, so the price will be much lower."
Zhu Youcai asked, "Is there still a signature on the hairpin?"
"Yes. For example, Lu Zisheng, a famous carving master in the Ming Dynasty, would put his signature on the jewelry he made, calling it 'Lu Zisheng'. Some jewelry would also have words or inscriptions carved on it. If so, the price could be three to five times higher. .”
Treasure friends are naturally more concerned about the price. With Wei Ruixiang here, there is no need for He Ren to speak. Wei Ruixiang pondered for a moment, "About half a million, Brother He's eyesight is really amazing. I feel ashamed. I don't know what Brother He can do." Do you want to share something? How did you find out?"
As soon as Wei Ruixiang said the words, he knew that he had made a mistake. This was He Ren's specialty. How could he say it so easily?
He Ren was not worried at all. He could tell that it was because he was cheating. He had made up the excuse a long time ago. Even if he said it, he could guarantee that no one else would be able to find out through this method...
