Colorful Spirit Eyes

Everyone here is senior, how about starting with me, a junior? I also ask all the teachers to give me some advice. A middle-aged man with a burly figure and a rosy face stood up and gave a polite fist.

Haha... Okay, let's start with Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu is worth a lot of money. I believe that the good things he brought out will not be bad... Seeing the middle-aged man volunteering, Mr. Bai immediately laughed, complimented and signaled The middle-aged people start first.

Eucommia ulmoides, remember this person. His surname is Hu, and his name is Hu Guohua. He does a lot of business and has a deep background. He opened this tea house. I will introduce you to him when I have a chance. As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Mr. Zheng came close to Eucommia ulmoides and whispered in his ear.

Du Zhong nodded slightly, Du Zhong naturally understood Mr. Zheng's intention, and Du Zhong silently remembered this intention in his heart.

So, everyone, please close your eyes. Hu Guohua walked to the center with something wrapped in red silk in his hands. In order to facilitate everyone to display his treasure, he had a square table brought and placed in the middle.

Putting the things on the square table, the red silk cloth covering it was removed. A flawless white jade Guanyin, two feet high, with unusually exquisite and solemn carvings, was immediately displayed in front of everyone.

This is a Han Dynasty Avalokitesvara statue that I bought at a small private auction a few months ago. Everyone here knows that I have a good eye for a bottle that is less than half a bottle. There are also things in private auctions that are real and fake. I have also asked many teachers to identify it, but they all said that they are not sure. Today, there are no outsiders. The seniors here are all the best masters in the industry. Please help me find out whether it is the Guanyin statue of the Han Dynasty. .

Hu Guohua once again cupped his hands and clasped his fists, bowed to everyone, and recounted the history and era. His attitude was extremely humble, and he didn't have the airs of a rich man at all. After saying that, he gave up his position and stood aside, waiting for the answer with a smile on his face.

Most of the people here are old people in the industry. Although everyone has extraordinary eyesight, they have specializations in their art. The same is true for antiques. Most of them develop in a single area. If they can make achievements in one kind of understanding, it is already very powerful. In this way, Being proficient in everything means being proficient in everything.

Hey, you little monkey, why are you playing with ancient jade if you don't study the familiar ceramics? If you get a blind eye, your old man won't hit you with a cane. A skinny old man stood up, pointed at Hu Guohua, laughed and cursed.

Hey, Mr. Yang, you can always be kind to me, but why don't you go to my old man and say, I'm begging you, I just want to buy some good things for him and have fun. Hu Guohua was not angry when he saw the person speaking. He quickly tried to please him with a playful smile. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was very familiar.

Yes, you kid...I mean ancient...Mr. Wang...Mr. Zheng...you guys are all experts in ancient jade, help me grow my eyesight. Mr. Yang pretended to be helpless and angry, and named a few old guys. He took the lead towards the middle.

Despite Hu Guohua's huge business and rich background, he still didn't dare to make mistakes in front of several old gentlemen, so he quickly and cheerfully made way for them.

Seeing Mr. Zheng step forward, Eucommia ulmoides also cheered up. In this room, he is probably the one who knows the least about antiques. Naturally, he will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Several old people each took out magnifying glasses of different sizes and began to look around the White Jade Guanyin. The place became quiet for a while, and everyone's eyes were on the few old people.

Sigh... In just three or four minutes, a sigh came out from the mouths of several old people at the same time. The brothers were stunned, looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing. Mr. Zheng said to Mr. Yang: Brother Yang, come here Say it.

Several people nodded and turned back to their seats. In fact, looking at the expressions of several people, they all made judgments in their hearts.

Seeing Mr. Zheng coming back, Eucommia ulmoides hurriedly asked: What? Something wrong? Although Eucommia ulmoides doesn't understand, after more than two months of supplementation, she has learned a little bit about some of the taboos in the antique shop.

When you take out other people's things to appreciate, you can say it's true, but you can never say it's false. You can say you can't be sure, you can't hold it, you can't see it clearly, or it's wrong, but you can't say it's fake. Saying something is fake in front of the owner is equivalent to slapping him in the face in public. If the owner doesn't fall out with you, he will definitely be considered your enemy from now on.

Haha... just listen, Mr. Yang is an expert in ancient jade appraisal, and he is much better than me. Mr. Zheng did not answer Du Zhong's words and whispered.

Mr. Yang first glared at Hu Guohua who was standing aside. At this time, the latter already knew the approximate result. He grinned and smiled twice, and did not dare to say anything else.

This piece of white Guanyin jade is moist and gentle. It is the finest Hetian mutton-fat white jade. It is complete in its entirety. It is obviously made from a whole piece of material. The carving... Speaking of this, Mr. Yang paused for a moment, sighed and said: "Jade is Good jade, with pure color, is a rare and good material. However, this white jade Guanyin is not carved by hand, but by standard modern computer technology. It was later aged by retro techniques and took no more than three years, so...

Speaking of this, Mr. Yang stopped again, looked at Hu Guohua and said with regret: The things are modern antique fakes, but the materials are definitely good materials, and their own value is no worse than ancient jade. Although there is no sense of historical vicissitudes, you It’s not a big loss, kid. In the future, you must be cautious in unfamiliar areas.

Hey hey... Old man, I remember... Hu Guohua is also feeling guilty now. He doesn't care if he has money or not. Anyone who buys fake goods will feel bad. Fortunately, the material is not fake, otherwise it would be really embarrassing. .

Hey, Mr. Zheng, isn’t there a big gap between modern jade and ancient jade? These are all fakes. Why does Mr. Yang still say that the loss is not big? Hu Guohua held his white jade Guanyin while asking Mr. Yang for advice on ancient jade appreciation. As the two walked down the field, Eucommia ulmoides also approached Mr. Zheng's ear and asked in a low voice.

Haha... Many people think that ancient jade is more valuable than modern jade, but this is not the case. Whether ancient jade or modern jade, the value is mainly determined by the quality, color, appearance, place of production, shape and carving of the jade.

Most of the valuable ancient jade is unearthed jade. Unearthed jade also depends on the time of production, carving technique, several types of cyan, the purity of the cyan, whether the quality of the jade is high-quality at the time of production, etc.

For example, when we talk about ancient jade, many people will use Han Dynasty jade as a reference. An ancient jade unearthed from the royal family of the Han Dynasty and an ancient jade buried with an ordinary wealthy businessman. Although they are both unearthed jade, they must be ancient jade unearthed from the royal family. The price is higher. First of all, judging from the situation at that time, the royal jade and the jade of ordinary wealthy businessmen are definitely not the same variety.

Secondly, jade in the Han Dynasty was mostly reserved for the royal family. Even if ordinary people or wealthy businessmen got it, they would not dare to show it off, let alone wear it. You can imagine the quality.

As far as jade itself is concerned, the value is not determined by age. Mr. Hu’s white jade Guanyin is definitely carved from a single piece of fine mutton-fat white jade material in terms of jade quality. As for the material itself, it is not inferior to some unearthed famous jades at all. The disadvantage lies in the carving. This is also another It is different from ancient jade and not as good as ancient jade.

In ancient times, there was no so-called assembly line. Every work was unique, and its conception, charm, and knife skills were beyond the capabilities of modern machines. Which one is more valuable, unique or more than one?

Mr. Zheng did not hide his secrets at all, and explained in detail the differences between old and new jades as well as common sense. Hearing this, Du Zhong's eyes were widened and he couldn't help but nod his head. Secretly, this trip was indeed not in vain. The difference in age of the jade cannot be seen in books.

Just when Mr. Zheng was telling Eucommia ulmoides about jade, Mr. Bai walked to the middle, smiled and took out a palm-sized box from the pocket of his black training clothes. The box was all black and red, and he sold it to Zheng with Eucommia ulmoides. The old boxes are somewhat similar, the only difference is that they are much smaller.

Obviously, the objects displayed by Bai Lao are not just boxes. He gently put the box down and slowly opened it. What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a piece of hollow lace made of gold wire. The whole body was inlaid with gold wire, and the top was equipped with a round and smooth pearl hairpin the size of a thumb.

Brothers, look at this hairpin. I got it in exchange for a porcelain plate with blue and white clouds and dragon patterns. Bai Lao looked slightly satisfied. As an old man, he wanted to show off after getting a treasure. After introducing the origin, he stood aside with a smile.

Zhuchai belongs to the miscellaneous category, so the ones who came forward this time were the miscellaneous experts headed by Huang Cheng, a total of four people.

Lao Bai, that's good. This is...whose hand did this come from? Huang Cheng only glanced at it and asked Bai Lao with envy and hatred.

That's... Fatty Huang, what do you think? You've been thinking about this baby for a long time. Haha, I got it. Envy it... Mr. Bai started joking with Huang Cheng with an expression of envy on your face.

You are really unreasonable. Hey, Lao Bai, let's talk about it. How about I trade my picture of the Peach Blossom Treasure Exhibition with you? Huang Cheng had long been interested in this beaded hairpin. He came to the door many times but failed to get it. Unexpectedly, he found it in the hands of an old friend, and he immediately became interested in it.

really? Bai Lao, who was originally very proud, his eyes suddenly shone when he heard it. He knew that the value of the Peach Blossom Treasure Exhibition in the hands of his old friend was definitely not worse than this pearl hairpin. On the contrary, he cherished it much more, and he immediately became interested.

Yes, yes... no need for appraisal, you continue, Lao Bai, let's chat privately, chat privately...

Without waiting for anyone else to react, Huang Cheng grabbed the pearl hairpin and the box directly into his arms, pulled Bai Lao and ran aside. He happened to have brought a treasure with him today, and he couldn't wait to exchange it.

Hey, I'm talking about you, fat guy... Hahaha... Come on, Lao Gu, Lao Huang has been thinking about that object for a long time, let him mess with it...

Gu Gu was originally watching with enthusiasm, but was suddenly interrupted by Huang Cheng. Just as he was about to complain, his old friend with a smile on his face persuaded him to return to his seat.
