Chapter 376 Chapter 376

The old woman raised her head in surprise, and murmured, "Did you really give it to me?" "I really gave it to you." Boss Li smiled and stuffed the inkstone in his hand into the old woman's arms, and said with a little worry on his mouth, "However, you have to report the crime as soon as possible. I I believe the guys in our shop are more reliable, so don't take advantage of the thieves, let the police comrades take care of these bad guys." "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll report it now." The old woman stood up and thanked her, "This boss is really a bodhisattva. Good people will be rewarded."

Boss Li naturally gave the old lady a hand, and said to the guy next to him, "Xiao Liu, follow the old lady to the police station." There was a burst of praise from the crowd.Gradually, the onlookers dispersed.Boss Li finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old woman and the young man walking away. You must know that someone making trouble in front of his shop, no matter whether it will affect the business or not, it will definitely be a blow to the reputation.Suddenly, a voice was heard, "Boss Li is really good at it." Looking up, the smile on the corner of Boss Li's mouth involuntarily became stronger: "Well, you San, you actually entertained me. The one next to you should be Boss Jia from the 'green, fat, red and thin' side. "

Jia Sidao nodded.When the bosses of Antique Street got together that day, Boss Li in front of him was not there, so Jia Sidao didn't know him beforehand.However, judging from what happened just now, regardless of whether the last words of Boss Li were contrived, or suspected of trying to earn some fame, they are not bad in essence. Moreover, from the information disclosed by Ah San, most of the shop owners on the antique street are based on the idea of ​​prosperity and prosperity, and will not interfere with such common things as fooling buyers with fake products. But if you play "Pengci" and the like, you will be suppressed by some other bosses.

Boss Li's actions just now can be regarded as winning a lot of praise for the shops on the Antique Street.Such a treatment method is unimaginable at the antique street stall. And which antique peddler would give out his own things as compensation for the old woman's crying? As the owner of an antique street shop, in many cases, you can't just consider your own and immediate small interests.Boss Li in front of him undoubtedly set a good example for Jia Sidao, the newly promoted shop owner in Antique Street. However, although Jia Sidao wanted to sit in Boss Li's shop for a while longer, Ah San was really not very interested in stationery.Besides, some ancient brush washers, pen holders and so on, there are still a lot of porcelain, if Ah San saw it, he would definitely like it.However, on Boss Li's side, there are very few of this type, basically using brushes, inks, and inkstones.

On the paper, Jia Sidao saw the "Tang paper" thousands of years ago, which was blank. This kind of paper, sometimes blank, is more valuable than the graffiti with handwriting.If it is a blank piece of Tang Dynasty paper, it is still very tempting to ask a contemporary famous artist to imitate the handwriting of a certain Tang Dynasty famous artist.It is indispensable to flow to the market and become a high-quality "fake".At least, from the perspective of Jia Sidao, even if he has supernatural perception, he can distinguish the difference between the "Tang paper" thousands of years ago and the paper under modern craftsmanship, and can he also distinguish the handwriting of calligraphers? ?

Of course, as long as real Tang paper can be used to make old and imitated paintings and calligraphy, it is of a certain standard.It itself has a certain collection value, otherwise, who would take a piece of paper worth thousands of dollars to scribble randomly? ... After leaving Boss Li's stationery store, Jia Sidao and Ah San turned to the real "walking around the streets".I almost went door to door, but whenever I encountered a type of shop that I liked, I would stay for a while. If I didn’t have any interest, such as furniture, I would chat with the boss, the clerk, etc. , and then hurriedly leave.

In Ah San's words: that is to get acquainted first. When they arrived at "Ciyun Zhai", the guy in Jia Sidao's impression was not there, and the person who received them was a middle-aged man.Ah San was quite polite to him, and whispered to Jia Sidao that although the person in front of him was not the boss of "Ciyun Zhai", he had a great relationship with the boss.After finishing speaking, his eyes subconsciously looked back and forth between himself and Jia Sidao. Jia Sidao suddenly understood that Ah San was using the relationship between the two of them as a comparison.

Just as Jia Sidao was sighing, since such a shop was already open for business, and it was on the weekend, how could there be a customer sitting in the shop, the boss of "Ciyunzhai" stepped on the A little bit turned out from the back room.When he first saw Jia Sidao and Ah San, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he said to Ah San very naturally: "Please sit down, both of you, please forgive me for the poor reception just now." Jia Sidao and Ah San quickly said they dare not. The boss of "Ciyunzhai" is much older than Uncle Zhou of "Zhouji". Although he is also the boss of the Antique Street, Jia Sidao dare not be too big.

"Are the two of you here looking at something, or are you just looking at it?" The boss first made a gesture of calmness to his friend, and then asked Ah San, "How is Mr. Wei?" ?” "Second Grandpa talked about you before." Ah San said with a smile. "Oh? This is strange. The old man must be reading a few things from me, right? I guess it must be like this. Hehe!" Obviously, the boss here is relatively familiar with Ah San, and everyone is familiar with each other. After joking a few words to dilute the strangeness of the first meeting, the boss asked Jia Sidao and Ah San's real intentions.

Although everyone is on the antique street, these bosses are usually busy with their own affairs, and they don't often meet each other. "What else did we come here for? Naturally, we came to see the porcelain. Could it be possible to come to your place for dinner?" Ah San said carelessly, "It just so happens that Uncle Wang is here too, Boss Gong, are you okay?" Should you come up with some good things for us to have a look at? My brother Xiao Jia, although he is in the jadeite business, is also very interested in porcelain." Boss Gong's eyes lit up when he said this.As an insider, he naturally understands the profits of the jadeite business.If Jia Sidao is really interested in playing with porcelain or something, then he is undoubtedly a potential big customer for his "Ciyunzhai". For those who are looking for a little gadget, the importance of Jia Sidao is self-evident.

These days, customers who make money are called big customers.For people like Ah San, even if they fancy something good, if the price is too high, Ah San will not be able to accept it directly.Boss Gong's acquaintance with Ah San is nothing more than because of Wei Erye's face. "Emerald business, Xiao Jia..." Boss Gong pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Could it be that this is the 'green, fat, red and thin' boss next to him? He's really a formidable young man." "Who said it wasn't?" Uncle Wang next to him answered, "Looking at Ah San and Xiao Jia now, Lao Gong, do you think back to when we were young, those who traveled all over the world, running around to collect money?" What about antiques?" "Hehehe, that's natural. I think back then, you and I suffered a lot and made a lot of jokes..." Speaking of the past, Boss Gong and Uncle Wang had a tacit understanding Afterwards, Boss Gong realized that Jia Sidao and Ah San seemed to have been left out in the cold, and said, "Come on, the identities of the two are no longer outsiders, and they are both interested in porcelain. It’s better to come by coincidence, why don’t you come to my back room with the two of us to have a look.” "It's what I wish for." Ah San said with a smile, stood up, and pulled Jia Sidao who was in a daze, and the four of them came to a reception room in the back of "Ciyun Zhai".Originally, Jia Sidao was still thinking that the people in the front hall had all left, so it was not appropriate that no one was watching all the time. In the end, Boss Gong was relieved and closed the door directly.Jia Sidao remembered with a wry smile, this is an antique street, and for the shops here, it is not a big deal if they open one more day and one day less.If you can make a big deal, it will be enough to earn back all the wasted time. Reminiscent of his own mother, just because the store was vacant for a few days before the opening, she gave birth to some complaints, Jia Sidao couldn't help sighing, the more you get in touch with antique collections, the more you will understand Come here, this line of work also requires foundation... The reception room is not big, but it looks very delicate. It can be seen from the handwriting of an expert at a glance. Not to mention clean and tidy, everything is placed just right. What's more important is that there is a touch of lightness in the overall structure. It has a classic charm, quite an antique feeling. Jia Sidao noticed that there was a display cabinet on one side of the reception room. The most eye-catching thing on it was that there was not a single outstanding porcelain work, and most of them were stone carvings.The most eye-catching one is a Shoushan stone carving, which depicts a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly. Several pieces of bright red color are skillfully carved into phoenix crown and feathers. Recently, Jia Sidao happened to be learning to sculpt. When he saw such a piece of work, he almost forgot the place where he was, and it was still the "Ciyun" famous for its porcelain. fast". "Oh. Xiao Jia also has a lot of research on sculpture?" Perhaps Boss Gong noticed Jia Sidao's gaze.He asked a question, and then said with a smile, "Look at what I said, Xiao Jia is an expert in playing with jadeite, and naturally he has the most say in stone carvings. I got this kind of thing from others a few years ago. It was exchanged. At the beginning, I just looked at the phoenix and felt that the momentum was quite good, so I agreed. I still haven’t figured out whether this thing is worth it. Xiao Jia, since you’re here, why don’t you tell me? " "This work is not only good in style." Jia Sidao sighed, knowing in his heart that it was a favor sold to him by Boss Gong.Everyone just met each other and didn't know each other very well. Boss Gong suddenly followed his hobbies and asked himself to show his strengths in front of everyone. It has to be said that Boss Gong valued his performance more. Naturally, Jia Sidao would not be polite. He considered the wording and said simply: "The material used for the whole stone carving belongs to Shoushan stone. I won't say much about its preciousness. In terms of carving knife skills, it is enough for me Such a novice to learn. As for the overall layout, especially the use of color on the top, it is lifelike, and it is a rare masterpiece among Fujian Shoushan stone carvings." "Hehe, Xiao Jia, you don't know that, Boss Gong is also a person who likes to collect strange stones." Ah San said with a smile from the side, "No way, you two will find other things besides porcelain. common language." "You two friends are being polite." Boss Gong said modestly. "Boss Gong doesn't need to be so polite." Ah San was a little displeased, "'Ciyunzhai' is an old shop that has been around for decades, let alone the provincial capital, in the Linhai area, at least It is a brand shop for porcelain collections. Besides, Boss Gong is also an expert in porcelain collections. If it is an exaggeration to say that you are full of high-quality goods here, then most of them are treasures. Tell the truth." Speaking of this, Ah San suddenly turned around and asked Jia Sidao, "Xiao Jia, do you know why there are no porcelain decorations in this reception room?" Jia Sidao looked around, and it was true, but he shook his head slightly. "It is said that Boss Gong is afraid that when customers come to negotiate business, all the attention will be attracted by other porcelain placed in the reception room, so he decided not to display some of his collections in the reception room. Porcelain." Ah San said with a smile, "Now, you should know how many good things Boss Gong has on hand, right?" When Jia Sidao heard this, he looked at Boss Gong in surprise. I really didn't see it. I dare to feel that there is a lack of porcelain in the reception room because of this reason.It can only be said that Boss Gong is either a confident person or a person who is too confident. The four sat down separately, and Boss Gong personally brewed a cup of tea for everyone.It is Biluochun, a new tea.The rising mist exudes a faint, elegant fragrance, making the entire reception room soon filled with a fragrant atmosphere.Jia Sidao involuntarily took a deep breath, as the so-called fragrance is overflowing, refreshing, and has some meditation effect. And Boss Gong is not at all anxious about the porcelain to be brought out. It's like the tea leaves in the tea, slowly stretching bit by bit as much as possible... Jia Sidao could only just wait like this, none of the four of them spoke first, and asked about the porcelain, Ah San was still talking about some digressions intentionally or unintentionally.Jia Sidao just listened quietly and listened, occasionally interjecting a few words.From now on, Jia Sidao thought that he should also learn some basic self-cultivation skills.If not, you will suffer a lot when you meet some older generation customers in the future and get in touch with them. In many cases, whether it's dealing with people or doing business, what matters is the heat.But the time of waiting is indispensable. Taking a small sip of the tea, Jia Sidao felt that the taste was not bad.Even if Jia Sidao doesn't understand it very well, he can still feel some of its beauty. No wonder so many people like tea, and a profound "tea ceremony" has been derived. "Huh? This is it?" Jia Sidao suddenly saw that under the coffee table, there was such a utensil that looked like a Xuande furnace, and he couldn't help being curious, and glanced at Boss Gong who was chatting with Ah San about Mr. Wei.And following Jia Sidao's "Hey", everyone's attention was focused on Jia Sidao's side. Following Jia Sidao's line of sight, Boss Gong said with a smile: "This is a Xuande stove, and I don't know the exact age. If Xiao Jia is interested, you might as well help me take a look." The word "Xuande Furnace" must be heard by anyone who knows a little bit.It has to be said that its reputation is really loud enough.Just hearing what Boss Gong said, Uncle Wang and Ah San were ready to take a closer look. Jia Sidao picked it up nearby, and it was heavy in his hand, a bit heavy.Tilt the Xuande furnace slightly, and see that there are three lines and six characters of regular script "Daming Xuande Annual System" at the base.However, in Jia Sidao's impression, almost most of the Xuande stoves, no matter they are real or old, will get such an inscription, right? If not, how can it be called Xuande Furnace? Jia Sidao played with the Xuande furnace carefully for a while, feeling somewhat nervous in his heart.For Jia Sidao, this is a mood that rarely appears.It's not that the Xuande stove in front of him made Jia Sidao feel a little bit uncontrollable, for fear that it would be bumped, or he was thinking of picking up the leak.Jia Sidao also knew some information about Xuande Furnace.Since ancient times, it has never mattered whether it is true or false, because there are too few authentic products, and there are also a large number of imitations in later generations.Not to mention anything else, even if it is displayed in the museum, there are many copper incense burners marked as Xuande models. But what about the actual situation? No one knows whether these bronze censers of the Xuande style on display come from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and are genuine. Jia Sidao's nervousness was only affected by the atmosphere in the reception room.You know, this is "Ciyunzhai", and the person sitting in front of Jia Sidao is the boss of "Ciyunzhai", the word "Xuande furnace" from his mouth is far more important than what some other people say Much heavier. This is like an ordinary thing. If the emperor uses it, he will have the capital of pride invisibly.It is also the reason why the value of some celebrities' collections is much higher than the same things without any historical stories. If not, why do the hawkers in Antique Street desperately make up stories for their things?Attracting the attention of buyers is one aspect, and more importantly, it is to let customers understand that the things they want to buy have a historical heritage, and this thing is inherited in an orderly manner in the collection line. ... After Jia Sidao briefly appreciated it, he put the Xuande stove on the coffee table.Afterwards, Uncle Wang took it to play with it, and asked ramblingly: "Old Gong, when did you collect these things? This thing looks very good." Don't ask Boss Gong Can answer honestly. Then Ah San took the hand, flipped through it casually, and muttered: "Boss Gong, this should belong to the Ming imitation thing. The overall shape of the utensil is relatively full. The cupola is also very well made To be honest, in terms of the touch, there is still a little meaning, which shows that the copper of this stove is very refined, it is really good!... How much is it?" Jia Sidao couldn't help laughing out loud. Generally speaking, if a person helps you appraise an item, and most of the things he says are good things, then it means that this person is obviously not very optimistic about your item, or even if he is relatively optimistic about it. No intention of accepting it.If not, he himself would say that this thing is relatively good, which is not conducive to his future bargaining. After Ah San's previous call, when Jia Sidao was thinking that it was impossible for him to ask the price, Ah San inexplicably asked, very suddenly.Don't say it's Jia Sidao, even Boss Gong, who is with the old god, was caught off guard, right? Jia Sidao raised his eyes slightly to see Boss Gong's reaction, and he was really surprised.However, Ah San asked, Boss Gong couldn't help but answer, and said: "I just received this item, as I said just now, I don't know the exact year, so I can't be sure. .” "Boss Gong, what you said is wrong." Ah San said with a smile, "If you can confirm everything yourself, then how dare we small players accept things from you? ?” If Boss Gong himself knew the specific market price of each piece of collection, that is to say, all the things that flowed out of his hands were not very profitable, then who would be willing to sell them from "Ciyunzhai"? "Buy porcelain. Anyone who collects a piece of porcelain, even if he likes it to death, hopes that when he buys it, the price can be lower than the market price, and there is a chance of picking up the leak.After all, those who know that they will suffer a loss if they buy it, but still want to buy it, belong to the absolute minority.
