Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Instrument Testing

"Yo, did you really miss it?" Liu Yufei's face was obviously a little surprised and curious, and he couldn't help asking: "Come on, tell me, what kind of mystery is there in those two things? It’s worth your complacency. Leaving aside the tile, let’s just say that your piece of broken into several pieces glued back is not a good-looking brush wash, and it can make a lot of money? For this, you spend a lot of money. It’s three thousand yuan. I thought you were out of kindness and helped the old lady.” "In your mouth, you only know how to make money." Jia Sidao first scorned Liu Yufei, and then briefly explained the purpose of going to Shanghai and what the old man said to Liu Yufei.Liu Yufei was startled when he heard it, and sighed why he didn't collect a few things to get started?

"Good boy, with you, it's all right. It seems that your luck is really invincible. It's really the right time for me to go to Henan with you when I come to Linhai." After thinking about it, Liu Yufei He patted Jia Sidao on the shoulder and said happily, "Think about it, with your luck, coupled with my vision and strength, our trip to Henan must be fruitful, right?" Glancing at Jia Sidao, seeing that the other party seemed to be looking at him with weird eyes, Liu Yufei couldn't help but smiled a little embarrassingly, and said, "Well, Brother Jia, actually what I just said meant that you are still Very powerful, but, compared with me, it's just a little bit inferior."

As he spoke, he made a little gesture with the thumb and index finger of his right hand. Immediately, Jia Sidao was overjoyed. "Okay, with your vision, if you meet nephrite or jadeite, you can still trust you once, but if you meet porcelain, I might as well trust myself." Jia Sidao was annoyed Said a word. "Don't tell me, if you encounter good porcelain, your vision and so on are all false. You may not be credible even if you have just entered the industry. If you really want to be safe, you should spend a lot of money. , Go to the testing bureau or something to do a systematic appraisal with advanced instruments, the results are scientific and credible, and reassuring." Liu Yufei has his own understanding of porcelain, " If not, even the so-called experts will sometimes go astray."

"Scientific appraisal?" Jia Sidao asked hesitantly, "It will cost a lot of money, right?" If not, the appraisal fee is very cheap and the appraisal is very convenient, then there is no need to drill holes in the antique market. You must know that for porcelains like Yuan blue and white, or the five famous kilns, the inspection bureau is naturally with systematic information. As long as you take a piece of porcelain to test, analyze various parameters and indicators, and compare it with those standard ones, you will naturally know whether it is fake or not. Of course, Jia Sidao's supernatural perception can also distinguish some of them, such as the texture of the tire, but compared with advanced instruments, it is still not as good as it is.

Even so, Jia Sidao has a greater advantage than others in the identification of porcelain. It’s just that Jia Sidao hasn’t touched too many standard instruments until now. Thinking of what the old man said, if you want to achieve something in the collection industry, it’s obviously not enough just to look at the things you have collected. In other places, you need to go to museums more, see more real things, read them over and over again, especially to get started; in addition, of course, you still have to go to the market more, you can’t say that you can stop going once you have been to the same market. In the Internet, different things appear every day. You must learn to observe the market, watch more, listen more, and buy less, so you can be regarded as a qualified collector.

These words, in retrospect now, are like alarm bells ringing in Jia Sidao's heart. "How much money is spent is the second most important thing." Liu Yufei said, "Ordinary porcelain, you wouldn't take it for inspection, would you? And once you can be selected to go there, the money for the inspection is relatively high compared to the value of the porcelain itself. Say, it doesn't matter." This is also the reason why the current antique market is very chaotic and the water is very deep. It's not that the country can't detect the authenticity of antiques, but that every antique is tested with instruments, and the energy and expense spent are beyond what ordinary antiques can consume.

"Like last year, in Chichester, England, an old man accidentally discovered a pair of authentic Chinese moon-holding vases from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty when he was moving house and packing up the sundries. If it is converted into RMB, how much would it be?" Speaking of this, Liu Yufei also pointed to the piles of materials in front of him, which seemed to be intentional. refers to. Then, without waiting for Jia Sidao to reply, Liu Yufei went on to say: "However, I'm afraid you didn't expect that at the beginning, the old man didn't expect much money from the pair of moon holding bottles. That's okay." After all, people don't know much about holding moon bottles, but an independent auctioneer's valuation is only between 300 and 400 pounds. The vase is 'not a fake as it was thought earlier, but a genuine ancient Chinese moon-holding vase', and the auctioneer only started bidding from 5,500 pounds.

However, whether it is the old man himself, experts or auctioneers, they all obviously underestimated the price of the pair of moon holding bottles.After the start of the auction, the price was quickly pushed to more than 350,000 pounds. Finally, a dealer in London bought the pair of moon hugging bottles for 760,000 pounds. Can you say that for such a pair of moon-holding bottles, expert appraisal is enough to determine its price? " "How did you know about this? Could it be that you are really interested in porcelain?" Jia Sidao didn't care much about the old British man in the incident. Let's not talk about such things. some.It wasn't much else, but Liu Yufei suddenly became interested in porcelain, which made Jia Sidao pay more attention.

"What's so strange about this? I usually look at any examples of people getting rich overnight at some auctions, especially this kind of sudden riches. I want to record all their prior behaviors. In my mind, maybe one day, it will be my turn." Liu Yufei said very boldly. "Then do you know the specific performance of the pair of moon-holding bottles?" Jia Sidao asked, "Or why did the old British man move? Then you go home and act out all the details according to those details. My wish may indeed come true.” "This..." Liu Yufei touched his head, and was a little speechless for a while, "The pair of moon-holding bottles, it seems that the central pattern is a scene of a group of children crowding around the port to welcome the dragon boat. It seems that only One of them is intact. The bottleneck of the other one has traces of being repaired after damage, and the others are not impressive.

In other words, even the old man himself didn't know how the pair of moon-holding bottles came about. Experts at the auction site suspected that it was taken away from the Chinese imperial palace by Western invaders at the beginning of the last century. As for the reason why the old man moved, it was naturally because he was sick and needed to move into a nursing home for physical therapy. Before moving out, he cleaned up his house and sold some unused items to earn some pocket money. .And this pair of moon holding bottles is exactly the same among the many unnecessary and miscellaneous things that the old man sorted out.

I haven't reached that age yet, why don't I collect more things while I'm still young, and when I'm old and can't walk anymore, I accidentally discover that there is something in my collection that I have ignored its value, presumably , that is also a wonderful thing. ..." As he said that, Liu Yufei showed a fascinated expression.Jia Sidao could only turn his head away and ignore it.However, what Liu Yufei said is not unreasonable. Even experts, when they get started with antiques, they will drill their eyes. Although Liu Yufei didn't mention the number of times he punched eyes during the day, Jia Sidao could take it for granted that it would definitely not be less. As for the experiences like the last time I went to Yangzhou to collect Moyu's birthday star, but failed to achieve my goal, there are countless experiences. "By the way, Brother Jia, is your agate tree still there?" Liu Yufei asked suddenly, and Jia Sidao immediately returned a questioning look. Liu Yufei smiled shyly and said, "If you want to know about the agate tree?" The specific tree species, but you can take the cut fragments to the Cultural Relics Inspection Bureau for a try. Maybe you can really detect what kind of tree it is. For collection, the more you know about the things you have collected, The more fun it is to collect. Otherwise, if someone asks you in the future, you don’t know what your collection is, and it would be embarrassing to tell it.” "That's true." Jia Sidao nodded in agreement, "However, this agate tree should belong to the fossil category. It should be taken to a place like the quality research institute." "Hey, it doesn't matter. I have acquaintances at the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology." "How about it, why don't you bring some samples to try when you go back?" Liu Yufei said with a smile.As a result, Jia Sidao was a little moved.If the whole agate tree is transported there, Jia Sidao will not be too happy even if there is hope to detect what kind of tree it is. Now it is just a few samples that were cut when cutting the agate village. Too troublesome.
