Chapter 288 Chapter 288 Can't laugh or cry

Of course, the word "perfect" in Jia Sidao's words is more or less flattering. After all, in terms of Jun porcelain's "everything from the kiln" style, the few pieces of Jun porcelain collected by Mr. Xu are the best among Jun porcelain fragments.It is extremely rare for pieces of broken porcelain of various colors to be placed together.If you want a perfect and seamless combination, it is a bit difficult. If the layout of the entire background is grand, that would be easier to say.However, as far as the small four-panel screen is concerned, it is really difficult to achieve perfection!

However, even so, what Jia Sidao said is not without some truth.What's more, Jia Sidao's current situation is just undergoing the test of you experts.It is still necessary to say something about "flattering". Sure enough, as soon as Jia Sidao's words fell, Mr. Xu on the other side took the lead in praising him and said, "Good! Very good! Xiao Jia's ability is not bad, and his analysis makes sense. But... "Mr. Xu hesitated a little, as if he was not used to Jia Sidao's appreciation of his works so much, "However, my friend, I still feel ashamed to appreciate this four-panel screen so much. Yes."

Thinking about it, the people who can sit here are all the owners of the antique street shops, no matter how bad they are, they are Ah San and Jia Sidao.As for Jia Sidao, he is preparing to open his own shop. Judging from the current test situation, it will be a matter of time before Jia Sidao can enter their circle. And Ah San, because of Mr. Wei's relationship, Mr. Xu can't treat him as an outsider, right? In this way, thinking of what Xu Lao specifically proposed earlier, it feels a bit boastful for Jia Sidao to target such a Jun porcelain four-panel screen that Xu Lao handled by himself.

Fortunately, Jia Sidao's appreciation is very appropriate.There is nothing particularly obvious about flattery in the sentences stated.No wonder Mr. Xu changed his address from "Xiao Jia" to "Little Friend" when he was talking about Jia Sidao.This has undoubtedly shown that, in Xu's personal sense, he has accepted Jia Sidao's entry into their circle. Although Mr. Xu's identity is just the boss of "Qianmoxiang", he is not professionally engaged in the antique industry, nor does he open an antique shop on the main antique side of the antique street, but Mr. Xu's contacts are still Very good.Otherwise, these people in front of them would not have chosen the "Qianmoxiang" teahouse as the meeting place for this test Jia Sidao.

Therefore, when he heard Mr. Xu address Jia Sidao, Jia Sidao himself was still a little dazed and didn't realize it.Ah San's eyes lit up, and subconsciously touched Jia Sidao's elbow, with a joyful smile in his eyes. And the other bosses beside him naturally looked at Jia Sidao cheerfully, and then took a sip of tea. Immediately, the tense atmosphere that was deliberately created to test Jia Sidao before, quickly disappeared. It faded away. "Speaking of which, the preciousness of this Jun porcelain lies in its difficulty in firing!" Zhou Fugui said haha ​​at this time, maybe he wanted to explain something, "Everyone knows that the 'Kiln Transformation' It is a thing, half of which is artificial and half of it, but it is natural. It contains the technology, experience and mastery of the kiln workers, and it also contains many accidental factors. Therefore, the kiln workers often Saying 'Jun is the same' is just such a rationale. Even for Mr. Xu, I can collect so many pieces of Jun porcelain at once, and even purposely make it into a four-panel screen, but I am so envious. what."

"Xiao Zhou, you kid also came to laugh at my old man." Mr. Xu smiled lightly and said, "However, old man, I really like this thing. I like this porcelain screen more than 20 years ago. The ones I found in the antique shop over at Liulichang in Beijing are considered my proudest treasures.” Speaking of which, the people in this private room don't have a few proud collections in their hands? For example, Zhou Fugui, Jia Sidao has seen his collection.Even Jia Sidao himself, a newcomer who started from the Jade Group, still has a few treasures of porcelain on hand.At least, the "Five Pieces of the Qing Palace" are definitely considered treasures.

However, Ah San next to Jia Sidao looked a little more shabby. "Hehe, if you say that, Mr. Xu. Then, for people like me and Ah San, you can only find a few pieces of porcelain to open the door at random. No matter what age it is, it doesn't have to be very precious. , Just put them all together, make a four-panel screen or something, maybe, it can be regarded as a treasure for collection." Jia Sidao said jokingly. Of course, that's what he said, but in Jia Sidao's heart, he suddenly remembered his home, there just happened to be a lot of broken porcelain pieces.It would be a lot of fun if what was said came true.It's just that Jia Sidao thought it would be a bit wasteful to make four screens out of precious huanghuali like Mr. Xu.

It's better to find some ordinary mahogany, it should be almost the same. Moreover, Jia Sidao did not have very high requirements for the collection of broken porcelain pieces, it was only used to learn the collection of porcelain pieces.It is too exquisite, but it loses the original meaning of collecting broken porcelain pieces, and it feels a bit outweighed by the gain.Of course, when Jia Sidao thinks about it, it is nothing more than that at present, there are no good materials at hand, such as huanghuali and the like, and there are no good pieces of broken porcelain, such as Jun porcelain. If not, Jia Sidao certainly wouldn't mind having one more piece in his collection that is similar to Xu Lao's current Jun porcelain four-panel screen, right?

In the following time, maybe everyone agreed that Jia Sidao entered the circle of antique street.What they said was not particularly targeted, and everyone was chatting cheerfully.Even Ah San talked about it here.Especially when it comes to one of them, the process of buying wooden furniture is really dumbfounding. "Let's say it's in a county near Linhai County. There's a good furniture store there!" Ah San said viciously.Jia Sidao has also heard of the name of the furniture city. To put it nicely, it is a furniture city. To put it bluntly, it is a place to collect junk. There are a lot of recycled things, mostly wooden furniture. That's all.

Jia Sidao’s impression of these furniture collectors was still in his childhood. Many people walked in the countryside and asked door to door if there were antique furniture for sale, such as wooden beds or carved wooden ones. Things like windows and doors.At that time, at Jia Sidao's age, he naturally didn't know why the simple wooden bed at home could be exchanged for a lot of money. Even the so-called "a lot of money", in the eyes of Jia Sidao now, is only in the eyes of a child. However, it is undeniable that these furniture collectors go to the countryside to search, and sometimes they can really come across good antique furniture.Although the quality is not very high, it is rare for anyone to sell their own top-quality antiques at a low price, but even some marginal items, after being taken away by these peddlers, there is still a lot of profit during the period spatial.

No, Ah San started to talk: "I usually go there for three or two months, to see if there are any good things. A few small gadgets, maybe. And just a while ago, I got a good pen holder. It also belongs to the root carving category. Although the material is not as good as that of huanghuali and red sandalwood, it is Because the carving skills are good, it is quite affordable to keep it for fun. However, just last month, I encountered a thing over there that made me dumbfounded." "Oh?" Jia Sidao was quite curious at the time, and asked cooperatively, "Is there anything else that will make your Ah San dumbfounded?" "What's so strange about this." Ah San immediately gave Jia Sidao an angry look, and said, "At that time, when I went there, I stopped by. In itself, there was something serious about it. However, when I was passing by, I happened to see a familiar boss standing over there, busy because the goods had just arrived. I don’t like to help others, so I went to help immediately. It’s over, it’s my doing If you do good deeds, good will be rewarded with good. By coincidence, I saw four chairs placed beside me..." Speaking of this, maybe he was talking about his joy, and Ah San's tone became a lot lighter. Even the expressions of Jia Sidao and others beside him were slightly moved.After all, judging from Ah San's tone, he must have encountered something good, right?If not, Ah San's personality would definitely not be mentioned. However, Ah San was not in a hurry at all.On the contrary, he said very plainly: "Let's just talk about the four chairs I checked. They are not the ones with backrests, but very simple ones, just a wooden pier, and those oval stone piers in the park. , the size is about the same, and there are some carvings on it. As for the texture, I think it should be an old mahogany. What kind of it is, but I can’t figure it out for a while.” "Ah San, you boy, now that you know that you will hate the book less when it's time to use it, don't you?" Elder Xu, who was next to him, scolded Ah San. "Isn't it?" Ah San smiled coyly, and continued, "However, even at the time, I didn't quite understand it, but I knew it was a good thing, and I knew it. So, I asked that A boss asked, how much is this stuff?" "Ten thousand?" Jia Sidao saw a questioning look in Ah San's eyes, and immediately said a number more cooperatively without hesitation. "How can there be tens of thousands? The boss and I are still a little familiar, so we made a gesture, three thousand." Ah San said with certainty, "I am naturally happy in my heart. Could it be that it is really because Get out of the car, do me a favor, I just picked up a leak?... But, soon, I calmed down. I took a closer look at the stools again, and they looked really good. This Then he said, pack it together, send it to Linhai for me." "Could it be that something went wrong when it was packaged and shipped back?" The boss next to him, who seemed to be silent and didn't speak much, asked. "Old Liu, don't worry about it. I think, this kid, Ah San, is trying to whet our appetites on purpose." Zhou Fugui said with a smile, "Especially you, Old Liu, who play with furniture. Now, when I heard something good came out, I couldn't hold back my emotions, but I followed Ah San's way." "Let me tell you, Ah San, you are usually a person who speaks very quickly, but now, how do you say it, intermittently." Old Liu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Great love is deliberately to lure my appetite, Let me tell you, if you don't take down those four stools, let me go and have a look later, I won't agree." "Um, Boss Liu, what you said is really..." Ah San sighed, and said, "It's really a bit difficult. Okay, let me say it briefly. At that time, the boss was naturally on the spot I agreed. However, what makes me feel a little funny is that the price of three thousand is not the price of four stools, but the price of one..." "It's just such a small matter, but it still makes you laugh and cry?" Old Liu was a little unhappy when he heard this.On the contrary, it was Jia Sidao who looked at Ah San with some amusement.Presumably, if the story ended here, Ah San would probably tell it. Sure enough, when Jia Sidao looked at Ah San, a smile appeared on Ah San's face, and he said, "Boss Liu, this is just the beginning. I thought, the things are quite good. Three thousand one Let's say three thousand one. Anyway, I looked carefully and thought it was worth it. So I discussed the price with the other party. In the end, the four stools were sold at a price of 10,000 yuan. I was very happy. Then, I went to do my business....It was over, when I returned to Linhai, I waited until I got the four stools. As a result, I opened it and took out the first stool, tsk tsk, it’s really a good thing, and took out the second When it comes to stools, yes, why does it become more and more wrong the more you look at it? The third and fourth stools have problems one after another. It’s not that there is any problem with the appearance of the stool. As far as their appearance is concerned, they are different from the first stool. It is very similar, or more precisely, it is the same as the one carved out of a mill. However, the material is wrong. Immediately, I called. I said, why did I get four Of the stools, only one is real, and the other three are all modern anti-corrosion products? Guess how the other party answered? He was also very honest and sincerely said, "Ah San, tell you the truth." Well, there is still one in your batch that is genuine, so it is already very good. Just this, I specifically told you not to let you go home empty-handed. If other people buy it , Whether it is real or not depends on luck. Ah San, you are also a sensible person. If you can get four real stools like this for 10,000 yuan, you said I would have sent them out a long time ago. Now, what are you still doing for a small business...' At that time, I was alone, holding the phone, and stayed away, making people very speechless..." "Hehe, it seems that you are really dumbfounded." After listening to Ah San's narration, Jia Sidao couldn't help but also nodded. Speaking of which, in the antique industry, encountering such a similar thing is really quite depressing.But, don't tell me, even so, even though she knew that she had suffered a small loss, Ah San had no good way to do it.Take it back and return it with others?It's clear that it's the boss who is a little familiar with Ah San. He said everything in his words. He has already given a real thing for Ah San's sake. What else can you do? If you don't want it, others may really want it. In the final analysis, it is still the antique industry, many things have unknown prices, and the market competition is not perfect.So, after Ah San told the story of his own experience, the owners of other antique shops in the private room also expressed their opinions, as if this gathering aimed at Jia Sidao's test would soon become a reality. It's the same as the exchange meeting. However, to Jia Sidao's delight, it was precisely because of the change in the atmosphere that Jia Sidao integrated into such a circle more quickly.As for the shop owners in the antique street, they will have some way to make their shops stand in the antique street without falling down. Some business methods are eye-opening for Jia Sidao. Listening to what you say is better than reading books for ten years! At the end, when the party is about to end.Uncle Zhou Fugui brought up Jia Sidao’s jadeite shop again, and asked specifically when it will open. At that time, these people present will come to cheer, so it goes without saying. Others, today There are probably quite a few bosses who didn't come. "Uncle Zhou, the specific opening time of this emerald store has not yet been determined. However, the store is already being renovated. The rest is the problem of supply, which is also being gradually resolved. I think, In another month, it will probably open for business. Roughly, I will set it on the National Day." Although Jia Sidao was speaking to Zhou Fugui, the content of these words was not More, it was aimed at the other bosses nearby. "During the National Day?" Zhou Fugui nodded.He said, "It's a good day. However, Xiao Jia, since you are opening a jade shop, you should pay more attention to the situation at Yang Qi's side!"
