The boss smiled and said: "This is the blue and white porcelain vase used by Emperor Qianlong. If it is not damaged at all, it will cost at least 12 million at the auction house! At Christie's autumn auction in Hong Kong last year, the same vase as this one finally sold for The transaction price was 22 million, and it was bought by a buyer from Beijing!"
"This one has been severely damaged. I'll sell it to you for 1.2 million, little brother!"
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help laughing in his heart. These small vendors were talking nonsense. Seeing that he was obviously a newcomer, they treated him like a fat sheep and slaughtered him.
Don't say that the clairvoyant eye didn't tell you that the vase was fake.
No matter how stupid I am, I can't be fooled by him.
If this vase was genuine, it would have been bought by buyers who knew the goods. This kind of crack is not a difficult problem at all in the eyes of cultural relic restoration masters.
"What about this agate bracelet? It was worn by Lafayette!"
Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu didn't answer, the boss put down the vase and picked up an agate bracelet.
"As a tribute from the Oriental island countries, look, every agate is as big as a finger. It's really not easy to find dozens of agates of the same size!"
"Little brother, I realized we were destined to be special as soon as we met. I'll give it to you cheaper, five hundred thousand!"
Ye Zhiqiu looked calm and sneered in his heart.
Although I don’t know anything about antiques, I can tell at a glance that it is red jade stone.
Ruby is an associated mineral of southern red agate and is almost identical to southern red agate. But its glossiness is extremely poor, and it has no oily or gelatinous feel.
When his grandfather was still alive, he once said that southern red agate was the top treasure among agates. Almost all newbies who had just entered the industry had suffered the loss of red agate. Some old fools specially used red agate to deceive those newcomers.
Newcomers who have just started in the industry must not play with southern red agate.
"Boss, how much money can I have as a newbie? If I get tens or even millions of things back at once, whether it's true or not, my dad won't kill me?"
"Let's buy some random things for fun first!"
"These two little ceramic figures are pretty good, I want them!" Ye Zhiqiu brought the two palm-sized little ceramic figures in front of him.
"Where's this pile of broken porcelain pieces? It looks pretty good, I want it too!"
"Those two ceramic golden boys and girls are from the Republic of China period, one thousand."
The boss's eyes suddenly lit up and he knelt down and said, "This pile of ceramic shards is really good stuff. It's a genuine product from the Yaozhou kiln of the Song Dynasty."
"An old lady just transferred me five thousand yuan. If it hadn't been in pieces, it would have been at least one million yuan! What a pity!" the boss said with a look of regret on his face.
"If you want it, I'll give you ten thousand yuan!"
"Yaozhou kiln?"
Ye Zhiqiu had a thought in his mind.
The boss knew a little bit, but he was not much better than me. His clairvoyant eyes suggested that this was something from Ru kiln, but he actually thought it was from Yaozhou kiln.
The five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty were Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, Ding kiln and Jun kiln.
Ru kiln is the first of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. It has always been known as "the first celadon, and Ru kiln is the leader" and has become a special tribute to the royal family.
Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Ru porcelain has been regarded as a unique treasure. It has been called by the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in the court as "even if you have a huge wealth, it is not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain."
The Ru kiln has only been in operation for more than 20 years. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the Ru kiln was also destroyed.
Due to the very short firing time, very few pieces have been handed down from generation to generation, and there are no more than a hundred genuine pieces that have been handed down to this day.
Ye Zhiqiu used to hang around his grandfather a lot and learned some knowledge about ceramics.
"Yaozhou kiln is a folk kiln and a model of northern celadon."
"Although it is known as the six major kiln systems of the Song Dynasty, there is always a certain gap between it and the five famous kilns in terms of craftsmanship. It provides very little tribute porcelain to the court. It mainly produces civilian utensils and has a very large quantity handed down from generation to generation. Therefore, the overall price It’s not too high.”
"Boss, although I have just joined the industry, I also know the name of Yaozhou kiln. It is not worth much at all. You are not very authentic! How dare you ask for 20,000 for these three pieces? What a shame!"
"I don't think it's even worth two hundred!"
Ye Zhiqiu's knowledge of antiques is limited, but the tips from the clairvoyant eye are absolutely correct.
He looked down at the three light blue porcelain fragments on the ground and sighed in his heart. Even the three fragments were still worth 1.5 million. If it were a complete porcelain bottle, wouldn't it be sky-high?
No wonder people say that the value of your porcelain is comparable to that of bronze.
"Huh?" The boss didn't expect that the young man in front of him knew some antique knowledge. He didn't fool him, and his old face suddenly turned red.
"Little brother, from 20,000 to 200, your bargaining price is too harsh! You have to give me some capital no matter what."
Shen Yang shook his head and smiled: "Those two golden boys and girls are three hundred, and these three broken pieces of porcelain are two hundred. I'll pack them away! If you have too many, I won't want any of them!"
"This? Well, I just opened my business today. I want to get a lucky draw. You can take me with you for five hundred yuan!"
The boss showed an honest smile.
But he was laughing in his heart. This morning, he paid 300 yuan for dozens of pieces of porcelain from an old country lady. These two pieces of porcelain and these three pieces were simply given away for free.
He just sold a porcelain bowl for 10,000 yuan and made a huge profit. He was so happy that he secretly cursed, this guy is really a little fool. He sold something for 500 yuan without spending a penny on it.
Ye Zhiqiu took out five hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to the boss.
The boss was afraid that he would regret it, so he took the money and said hurriedly: "Little brother, the rules of the antique business have always been to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. After we clear the money and goods, you will regret it and come back to me to return the goods." Want money.”
"Boss, don't worry. I'm not that kind of scoundrel."
Ye Zhiqiu squatted down, wrapped the two little people and the three fragments with paper towels, turned around and left slowly.
After leaving the flea market, he threw the two little ceramic figures into the trash can, put the three pieces of Ru porcelain into his pocket, stepped on the bus, and returned to the downstairs of his home.
"Fat man!" Ye Zhiqiu dialed the number of his classmate Shen Chaoyang.
Shen Chaoyang's family is relatively well-off. His family has opened a small company, and his father has some connections. He has no connections now. These three pieces of Ru porcelain will never be sold at the ideal price no matter which antique store he goes to.
"Zhiqiu, why did you remember to call me? Have you found a suitable job? I have already said that if it doesn't work, come to my house and help me." Shen Chaoyang laughed.
"Brother, can I treat you badly?"
Shen Chaoyang was an honest man. After Ye Zhiqiu's father passed away, his mother got seriously ill. The family spent all the last money they had, but she still didn't recover.
Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to ask him. Shen Chaoyang immediately lent him more than 100,000 yuan without saying a word, and also said that if it was not enough, just ask.
Fortunately, a week later, his mother recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
