Antique Dealer

Chapter 296 Appeal
"Yes, it's the lotus statue!" Ding Huifen was very happy to see that Fang Hao recognized the object she wanted in the photo.

Li Mingchao looked at the photo curiously: "Is this an upside-down lotus statue? Why does it look a little small to me?"

The upturned lotus statue is due to the prosperity of Buddhism during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which led to the popularity of the special Buddhist shape of the "upturned lotus statue".Therefore, such works belong to offering vessels, or are used for burial.

Therefore, generally speaking, the shape of this kind of lotus statue is often too large, and it looks very magnificent. It is the most important celadon work during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Fang Hao said: "The lotus statue in this photo looks like a porcelain body to me, and the shape of the device looks a little different from the early ones. I judge that it may be a product of the fifth generation or later. But the photo is blurry, and it is difficult to judge the specifics. .”

He said to Ding Huifen again: "Ma'am, you want me to use this photo to find the upturned lotus statue in the photo, just like finding a needle in a haystack."

Ding Huifen quickly said: "Apart from the photo, I know that the item was bought by a man named Taro. As far as I know, this man has a certain reputation in the Jinling antique circle, but when I investigated this man By the time he was born, he had already disappeared. There was no one alive, no dead body, and no one knew where he went."

Fang Hao asked: "You continue."

Ding Huifen said: "My idea is that before July of this year, I can find the original in the photo. If I can't find it, I can replace it with a lotus statue that looks similar. I would like to use the former in addition to the value of the object. I am willing to spend 200 million cash rewards, and if it is the latter, I am also willing to buy at a high price."

Having said that, Ding Huifen took out her business card and handed it out to everyone.

Fang Hao took the business card, saw the name and Ding Huifen's position, and found out that she was the boss of a listed company in Jinling, which is a cosmetics-related raw material company. No wonder she seemed to have a different temperament.

"Okay, if there is news, we will contact you." Fang Hao also took out his business card and handed it to Ding Huifen.

Ding Huifen looked at the business card and was a little surprised: "So you are Teacher Fang from Juhuizhai!"

Fang Hao was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Ding to have heard of me."

Ding Huifen said: "Nian Kangshinian and I are always friends. When we were chatting with Mr. Nian in Jinling a few days ago, he mentioned you and highly respected you."

Fang Hao smiled modestly: "It's all the love of Mr. Nian."

After being polite, the dishes ordered by Ding Huifen came to the table one after another. Ding Huifen took her leave and went to eat. She and the female bodyguard walked back to their seats and sat down with one hand lightly supporting the table. The rope of the bracelet on her hand suddenly broke. , The beads on the bracelet fell to the ground with a clatter.

Ding Huifen let out an exclamation, everyone was surprised and hurriedly helped Ding Huifen pick up the beads on the ground.

Fang Hao also picked up two beads, took a look in his hand, felt that these beads gave him a strange feeling, and immediately began to study them.

On the other hand, Ding Huifen thanked everyone for their help. While feeling distressed that the bracelet rope broke suddenly, she also felt a little pimple in her heart. It is not a good thing that the bracelet rope suddenly broke for no reason like this.

At this time, Ding Huifen noticed that Fang Hao was studying carefully with two beads, and walked over: "Teacher Fang, is there any question?"

Fang Hao raised his head and asked, "Mr. Ding, I wonder what kind of material you bought this bracelet from?"

Ding Huifen replied truthfully: "I bought it according to the price, isn't it right?"

"Yu Po?" Li Mingchao had a look of surprise on his face.

Amber is a kind of amber, which is extremely rare and known as the head of amber.It is called "Yupei" in "Shan Hai Jing" and "Dun Mou" in "Lun Heng" written by Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen wrote in the seventh volume of "Compendium of Materia Medica" No.30: " Sui Po is the best of all Po.

Moreover, there is such a sentence recorded in "Tiangong Kaiwu": the most expensive amber is called 瑿, and its price is five times that of gold.From this, we can see how precious Yupo is.

Fang Hao said that he wanted to see the remaining beads before making a decision, and Ding Huifen also agreed.After that, under Fang Hao's gesture, he put all the beads on a napkin on the table.

Fang Hao took out a bright flashlight and appraised each bead: "Boss Ding, how many grams is this bracelet in total?"

Ding Huifen said: "I bought this bracelet for 20 years and spent 180 million yuan. There are 58 pieces in total and 314 grams."

"Did you buy it from a friend?"

"I can only say we know each other."

Fang Hao thought for a while, and said: "In the Ming Dynasty's "Tiangong Kaiwu", it was mentioned that the price of emerald was five times that of gold. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the best restaurant to hold a table in the best restaurant at that time." For banquets, the amount spent does not exceed one tael of Wenyin, which is equivalent to 31.25 grams.

Based on the current price, I think the purchasing power of one tael in the Ming Dynasty is about 1 yuan compared with the present, which is more reasonable. At that time, the ratio of gold to silver was 1:10, so the value of one gram of gold should be 3200 yuan, while The value of Ember is five times that of gold, and the price of one gram is [-].

So, the current price of your bracelet is more than 500 million, even if it was bought two years ago, it is impossible for such a big change. "

How could Ding Huifen fail to understand the meaning of Fang Hao's words: "Mr. Fang, if it's not Supper, what is it made of?"

Fang Hao said, "I think it should be Weng Po."

Ding Huifen was very surprised: "What is Weng Po?"

Fang Hao explained: "Weng Po is also a rare amber like Sui Po, but very few people know about it. Like Sui Po, it is also produced in Myanmar.

Under certain natural conditions, Weng Po and Yu Po are very similar, and their surface color is also black.But in the case of light, Omber will not produce any changes, neither a sense of transparency nor any color changes, it is a completely black and opaque amber. "

Li Mingchao raised his hand: "I heard that Weng Po is opaque because its petrification degree is too high, which leads to its lack of transparency. But some people think that Weng Po is a further deepening of Weng Po, which leads to It doesn't show any color change under light."

"Your statement is wrong. As long as we test the fluorescence reaction of the two ambers, we will find that the fluorescent color of Ombre is blue, while Ombre is actually light green, and Ombre is green under fluorescence. A flow pattern can be seen on the surface."

As Fang Hao said, he used a flashlight to shine light on the beads, and sure enough, the beads behaved as he said.

Ding Huifen accepted Fang Hao's words, she was silent for a moment: "Then how much is this bracelet of mine worth?"

Fang Hao said: "The value of Weng Po is really hard to say. Weng Po is not well known in the market, and it is rarely encountered, and testing agencies will not issue certificates."

Ding Huifen sighed: "So, it's worthless."

Fang Hao smiled slightly: "I didn't mean that. Weng Po is relatively rare. It would take a lot of time and money to collect your bracelets with almost the same quality. In addition, as the old saying goes, money is hard to buy. Well, as long as you like it, it's worth the price. Of course, the previous seller will not patronize in the future."

"Thank you for your advice. Listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books." Ding Huifen said politely, and immediately put the beads away.

"You're welcome."

Ding Huifen returned to her seat to eat, Fang Hao and the others had almost eaten, and they were about to go back to the city, so the two parties bid farewell.

After getting into the car, Li Mingchao said with a smile: "Brother Hao, there is nothing you don't know about how your brain grows."

Fang Hao smiled and said, "If you want to know, just study hard, and I can give you some information."

Li Mingchao said: "I want the materials, but just study hard and forget about it. I'm finally graduating from university, and I want to relax a bit."

Ma Hongfei drank too much, and his tongue became a little big: "Come on, you also say one thing and do another, and you will definitely study hard in secret later, just like the final exam of the sophomore year. You say you don't review, but you are not sneaky in private." Read a book. It's not like the three of us, who have always followed suit."

Li Mingchao immediately changed his target: "You and Liu Shi are okay to talk, are you like Brother Hao, a person who is consistent with his words and deeds? He is obviously an expert, but he has not told us all the time. He obviously wants to see my jokes."

"Brother Hao is indeed a little..." Ma Hongfei nodded repeatedly in a dazed manner, before he finished speaking, he began to snore.

Fang Hao and Li Mingchao looked at each other and smiled. Ma Hongfei must have been suffering for the past two days. I hope that after he wakes up, he can let go of the previous things and start over.
