Chapter 378 Chapter 378

However, what makes Jia Sidao feel a little regretful is that, as Uncle Wang said, this porcelain, which is relatively exquisite in other places, has a fatal flaw, that is, there is a "ring punch" on the bottle body. .Even Jia Sidao didn't know anything about the art of repairing porcelain, but anyway, there were already two pieces of broken porcelain in the house, and Jia Sidao had found some information. It is very difficult to repair the porcelain with "ring punch" on the bottle like the one in front of you.Of course, what is meant here is that the ones that want to be repaired are the same as if they had not been damaged. If it is just a simple repair, regardless of the value, art, glaze color, etc. of the porcelain itself, then it is another matter.

However, even so, Jia Sidao still felt a little fond of such a piece of porcelain.Gently use your left hand to touch the bottom of the porcelain, but there is no sense of roughness at all. If you look at it with your eyes, you can see that the whole bottom is a yellow-brown sand bottom with a very fine texture, which is commonly known as The "rice paste bottom" is very similar to the appearance of burnt white rice. This is the unique style of blue and white in Chenghua official kilns in Ming Dynasty. In Jia Sidao's memory, blue-and-white porcelain, especially large ones, was rare in Chenghua official kilns in the Ming Dynasty.The shape of this vessel can be regarded as a relatively large bucket-colored scroll-leaf vase, and it can be regarded as a treasure among Ming Dynasty porcelains.

Facing that blunt, Jia Sidao sighed slightly, turned to calm down his emotions, and asked Boss Gong: "How much is this bottle?" When Boss Gong heard this, it seemed that the transaction this time was relatively reliable, and his eyes lit up immediately.This change in eyes just happened once this afternoon, just in this reception room. At that time, the transaction with Ah San happened to be relatively perfect, and this time the relationship with Jia Sidao What about? Boss Gong stretched out a hand very neatly, flipped the front and back, indicated the price of 100,000 yuan, and said, "It looks like, Xiao Jia, you don't have any doubts about the age of this piece of porcelain, so , you also know that this thing is worth the price."

"It's too expensive." No matter what, Jia Sidao must have said that in the first sentence, and he couldn't just say "Okay, I bought it" in the first sentence, that would seem too casual , and it is easy for Boss Gong to feel that the price of this piece of porcelain is too low.If there is a chance to do business next time, Boss Gong might just charge the things to sky-high prices. "It's already the price in the market." Boss Gong thought about his words, and said, "If I am willing to sell at a low price, do you think such a piece of porcelain, even if it has a blur on its surface, Will it be stored in "Ciyunzhai" for nearly ten years?"

Jia Sidao's expression couldn't help being awed, this is the benefit of having a big family and a great reputation. As long as the "Ciyunzhai" is carried out, Jia Sidao seems to be a little weaker in front of Boss Gong.At this time, Jia Sidao still had leisure time in his mind to daydream. When his "green, fat, red and thin" became famous in the future, can he also use this method when he deals with others? However, Jia Sidao was thinking of flattery in his heart, but Boss Gong felt a little mysterious in his heart. It seemed that after he said "Ciyun Zhai", why did Jia Sidao behave so plainly? Woolen cloth?Could it be that, as Ah San said, Jia Sidao is really a novice collector?

In Boss Gong's mind, perhaps only a novice in porcelain collection would show an indifferent attitude towards his "Ciyunzhai", right?Otherwise, any person in the industry, after hearing such a term, especially those who like to collect porcelain, is definitely unlikely to feel calm and not feel the slightest disturbance. Boss Gong took a careful look at Jia Sidao, the feeling of understanding flowing from the inside out on Jia Sidao's face was still very obvious.Boss Gong couldn't help but thought about his wording for a while, and said: "However, Xiao Jia, you are also the first to come to my 'Ciyunzhai' to collect things. You always talk about the first business, not to mention making money. If you want to make money, you just need to get acquainted with it first. So, if you really like such a thing and plan to accept it, I will give you a 15% discount like Ah San, how about it?"

"8.50% off?" Jia Sidao muttered in his heart, that is 85,000. Although in Jia Sidao's view, the money is not much, but with the experience just now, Jia Sidao found that Well, even for an old business like Boss Gong, there are still some loopholes that can be exploited for bargaining. Hence, Jia Sidao pointed to the bottle with leaf-shaped bucket color pattern on the coffee table, and said, "Boss Gong, let me tell you this. I really don't know much about porcelain. Ming Chenghua's things are put into the current market. I don't know what the price is. However, this thing is really pretty, and I like it when I look at it. But, you can see for yourself, the bottle is cracked, The ring punch here is like a beautiful young woman. On her pretty face, there is a scar in a very conspicuous place. Regardless of how graceful this woman's figure is, How fair the skin is, we will feel that it is a shame when we look at it! Don’t you think so?”

As soon as Jia Sidao had finished speaking, Boss Gong hadn't responded yet, but Ah San who was next to him was the first to applaud: "Xiao Jia, I really didn't realize that you are still a writer." talent. Maybe you stop playing jade and switch to writing, and you can make a certain name." "So-so." Jia Sidao said modestly, "When I looked at this piece of porcelain, I really felt like this. Boss Gong, what do you think?" "It's a good word for you, so I'll give you this number." Boss Gong simply drew a number eight directly. In a word, it is worth five thousand, which is considered very generous by Boss Gong. Jia Sidao lost face, "At such a price, if it is the same thing, it is absolutely impossible in this generation of antique street in Linhai."

"The same thing?" Jia Sidao smiled, "If there is the same thing, then why should I accept this piece of porcelain from Boss Gong?" The hidden meaning in the words, such and such Mingcheng Huadoucai scroll leaf pattern bottle, if there is the same one, and it appears in the same place, you don't need to think about it, it is most likely to be old.When Boss Gong heard the words, he also smiled embarrassingly, as if he felt that his words were a bit too much. "However, Xiao Jia, you can really rest assured. I can't guarantee the quality of this item. But in terms of age, there will be absolutely no problems." Boss Gong seemed to be trying to save some face. He explained, "Ah San also asked just now, how did I get this thing..."

"In this regard, I can talk about it." At this time, Uncle Wang saw that the deal between Jia Sidao and Boss Gong seemed to be about to be concluded, and the two talked about the origin of this bucket color porcelain, and then He interjected and said, "Xiao Jia, you also know that Lao Gong and I have known each other since we were young. At that time, we went out to collect antique porcelain many times, so we came across this porcelain." "Oh, I guess it's true that I picked it up at an antique stall, right?" Ah San said playfully. "That's not true." Uncle Wang explained, "If I remember correctly, it should be collected from a family. According to the explanation from that family, it is said to be passed down from the ancestors. However, this so-called ancestors are actually Not many generations left."

"Could it be that there is another special story in this?" Ah Sanyi heard Uncle Wang's posture, it seemed that he was about to start talking, and his heart jumped subconsciously.On the antique street, there is no one who can't tell stories if he has been around for a while. Moreover, the stories everyone tells are quite touching.Even Ah San herself continued to make up the second half of the story while telling the first half of the story within a short period of time.If time permits, it wouldn't be a problem for Ah San to talk for three days and three nights alone. However, Boss Gong's "Ciyunzhai" is selling things at the moment, but Uncle Wang is starting to tell stories, which is relatively new. "Do you believe it or not, kid?" Uncle Wang took a sharp look at Ah San and said, "Speaking of the origin of this bucket-colored leaf-shaped vase, before it was passed on to that family, in fact, it went through a lot of things. Event. The time can be traced back to 1926. In the Liulichang area at that time, there was an antique dealer named Feng Haitao. He spent a thousand oceans to accept this Ming Chenghua Doucai scroll leaf vase. Because It was relatively early, and the price of Chinese people's collections was not very high at that time. He thought that if this thing was sold to foreigners, it would definitely sell for a good price, so he took this bottle with him. Adventurer's Paradise's big Shanghai in Shiliyangchang. He looked around for a way to contact the buyer, and finally asked someone to find Mr. Henry, the consul of the French embassy. However, Feng Haitao's luck was not very good. On the day of the transaction, he was excited and missed. Dropped the bottle on the carpet, leaving the circular spout. Henry saw the circular spout on the bottle, which was very eye-catching, so he said he didn't want it on the spot. Feng Haitao could only say goodbye with regret. Shanghai. However, before going back, he still sold the damaged vase with scroll leaf pattern in his hand to a peddler in the antique business for a price of one ocean." "Then, the peddler felt that this item was relatively difficult to sell, so he kept it and passed it on to future generations?" Ah San continued to ask. "What do you think?" Uncle Wang looked at Ah San speechlessly, it seemed that Ah San didn't believe that the story he just told was true even now. "I feel that if I were the peddler in the antique business, I would have passed it on." Ah San said seriously, "However, before that, I should find someone who repairs porcelain." Master, fix this thing." "Hehe, that's your San, not an antique peddler." Boss Gong said with a smile, "At that time, he sold this piece of porcelain after changing hands. After that, he went back and forth several times, and finally arrived at the resident's house." In the hands of our ancestors, this piece of porcelain was saved from the fate of being circulated again, until nine years ago, Xiao Wang and I went to that family’s house and collected this piece of porcelain.” "That's the same as not saying anything." Ah San shook her head helplessly. Such a story has no evidence at all. The stories told by the so-called antique dealers are just like unofficial history.If you believe it, it is true.If you don't believe it, it's fake.If this Ming Cheng Hua Doucai bottle with curling leaf pattern really has such a experience.As long as Henry, the French consul at the time, left some information, such as a diary, it is estimated that the value of this thing at the moment is not a thing of tens of thousands of dollars. No way, Boss Gong has collected it himself. "Xiao Jia, you are clear about the origin of this item. You still need to judge the specific authenticity." Boss Gong said, "From the way you look at this porcelain, Xiao Jia, what do you say? I am a novice myself, but I am a bit dishonest." "I learned it from Ah San." Jia Sidao explained, "However, I still want to thank Uncle Wang for such a tortuous story. At least, it gave me a lot of reverie, didn't it?  … ...By the way, Boss Gong, isn't the price of 80,000 yuan the lowest?" Jia Sidao hesitated, and moved to the edge of the coffee table, continuing to play with the porcelain.What's more important is that Jia Sidao's gaze is always on the mouth of the bottle, moving back and forth, as if clearly telling Boss Gong that Jia Sidao is hesitating at this time whether he should make a move or not. ? "Hehe, the price of 80,000 yuan is really not high." Boss Gong gave a slight signal to Uncle Wang and said, "Xiao Wang knows that if this item is less than 80,000 yuan In terms of price, it was sold two years ago. And the 80,000 yuan two years ago, and the 80,000 yuan now..." Even if Boss Gong didn't say anything, Jia Sidao could understand.Considering the existence of inflation, the price given by Boss Gong at this moment is already relatively low. Jia Sidao sighed inwardly, thinking that no matter how hard he tried, there would probably be no price to talk about. However, just when Jia Sidao was about to agree, something happened. Jia Sidao's left hand, while playing with the vase with scroll leaf pattern, penetrated some of his own spirit into the inside of the bottle. force.Ever since, in Jia Sidao's mind, the outline of a bottle suddenly appeared. And gradually, just when Jia Sidao was lamenting his supernatural perception and didn't have much judgment on things like porcelain, the shape of the bottle that he perceived gradually became blurred, as if there were too many A bit of stickiness makes the whole bottle feel like it has melted to Jia Sidao. Could it be that this thing is old? You know, whether it is modern porcelain or ancient porcelain, the difference in texture is not very big.Jia Sidao can roughly confirm whether this piece of porcelain is a new imitation or not by constantly sensing the porcelain of a certain age in ancient times. In addition, even with the use of supernatural perception, it is difficult to gain any other gains.It is nothing more than knowing clearly whether a piece of porcelain is a complete vessel.If it is to detect whether a piece of porcelain has been repaired, Jia Sidao's supernatural perception is like sensing whether there are strands of jadeite in the jadeite raw stone. It is simple, fast, and very accurate! Withdrawing his attention from his left hand, Jia Sidao sorted out his emotions. Considering that supernatural perception is still relatively weak in the use of porcelain, it can only be used as an auxiliary means, and the main thing is to look at his own eyesight. For one thing, Jia Sidao is still planning to keep this vase with scroll leaf pattern of Huadou color in Ming Dynasty. Regardless of whether Boss Gong and Uncle Wang dug such a hole together, Jia Sidao was ready to "jump" into it. They exchanged glances with Ah San.Since Boss Gong knew Ah San was there, he still took out such a piece of porcelain.Presumably at this time, even if Ah San is asked to help with the appraisal, there will be no unexpected results, so Jia Sidao skipped such a process and directly agreed. After all, Boss Gong knew Jia Sidao's identity very well. If the first transaction was too embarrassing, Jia Sidao thought that Boss Gong would not have to think about doing business with him in the future, right?Thinking about it in his own shoes, Jia Sidao suddenly felt that as far as Boss Gong and himself were concerned, such a transaction worth tens of thousands of dollars really didn't need to be taken too seriously. As a result, Jia Sidao let Ah San stay here alone, went to the bank on the corner of the street, took out the money, and paid the money with Ah San's Xuande stove. Afterwards, the atmosphere undoubtedly became much more harmonious.Boss Gong also talked about some stories about collecting antiques from all over the country when he was young.However, as he talked, he soon talked about this vase with scroll leaf pattern.It seems that most collectors have such a problem. As long as it's something I've handled by myself, not the kind of thing that you just turn around and sell, if you stay by your side for a long time, you'll have some feelings for it. If Jia Sidao is asked to sell the five pieces of porcelain collected in his home, such as the five pieces of the Qing Palace, Jia Sidao will hesitate for a while.So, even though Boss Gong is a big businessman, and his business is in porcelain, at this moment, he took a few more glances at this vase with scroll leaf pattern. "Xiao Jia, I think you are a real person. We didn't think too much about the transaction just now. However, there are still some things I didn't explain to you." Boss Gong smacked his lips a few times, Said, "Let me tell you this, I have already reminded you that this thing is in my hands, but I have kept it for nearly ten years." "Yeah." Jia Sidao nodded. "So, if you keep this vase for yourself, it's a pretty good thing. Moreover, the glaze color of Chenghua Doucai in the Ming Dynasty is also very distinctive." Boss Gong continued. "However, if you want to repair it and make a move again, you don't need to bother." "Why?" Ah San asked a little strangely, "Even if I keep it by myself, after repairing it, it should be more meaningful to collect." "To tell you the truth, I also thought the same way back then." Boss Gong recalled, "Those of us who are more fond of porcelain, know a little bit about repairing porcelain, right? After so many years, In order to restore it, I have spent a lot of effort, and I have also sought out many masters and masters in the field of restoring ancient porcelain, but no one dares to take this job. Either I am not sure, or the price is not worth it. " "I'm not sure, but I can understand it. What does it mean that the price is not worth it?" Jia Sidao asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the cost of repairing is far more than the porcelain itself?" "Almost." Boss Gong made an analogy, "If this piece of porcelain is worth 100,000 to 80,000 yuan now, you need to spend 100,000 yuan to repair it, but after repairing it, its value is only 200,000 yuan. Will you fix it?" "Then I really need to think about it." Jia Sidao touched his nose, not knowing what to say.At the same time, Jia Sidao was also feeling emotional, fortunately his original plan was to collect such a thing instead of reselling it.Besides, in Jia Sidao's home, there are still two pieces of porcelain that need to be repaired. It's good now, and another damaged one is taken away. From this point of view, Jia Sidao's home is like a recycling bin that specializes in recycling damaged porcelain.For a moment, Jia Sidao thought of Li Tiantian from Shanghai in his mind, maybe her aunt could bring him a little surprise. ... After bidding farewell to Boss Gong, after coming out of "Ciyunzhai", the street on the side of Antique Street is still full of people.Jia Sidao and Ah San didn't have the intention to go for a stroll anymore, they each took the things they collected and went to do whatever they wanted. Jia Sidao first returned to the "green, fat, red and thin" side, but was taken aback by his mother. The counter, which was empty at first, turned out to be piled up with a lot of things at this time. Jia Sidao glanced at it casually, and he could understand that these ten or so things must have come from street stalls in the antique street, and none of them Most of them are fake goods at a glance. "Mom, you didn't make a big purchase, did you?" Jia Sidao said helplessly.
