Antique Dealer

Chapter 193 Qinan
The two went out, and within a few steps, the old lady said, "Actually, I don't think that young man is a fool. Maybe our Arhat statue is more valuable!"

The old man said: "So what, we don't understand, can we ask him, and he can tell us?"

"The money just arrived in the account, let's ask him, he should be able to tell."

"I didn't say you, your curiosity is too heavy, this is not good. I asked you, and he said the reason. If we sell at a loss, you will feel comfortable? Be a human being, or be content and happy, we are so old It’s enough to make so much money.”

"Hey! It's our old man's fault too. Why didn't he tell us clearly before he left!"

"Let's say a few words, it's almost done, now it's time to get my son out!"

"All right……"

On the other side, seeing the old man gone, Jiang Mingrui said with a smile: "Fang Hao, did you miss it again?"

Normally, he wouldn't be able to talk too much at this time, but now, he must slap the old guy Ning Zhiguo in the face, otherwise his thoughts will not be clear.

"Not bad." Fang Hao nodded with a smile. Although he was disgusted by Ning Zhiguo for a while, picking up the leak still made him feel happy.

"Looking up? Let's daydream!"

Ning Zhiguo actually thinks that Fang Hao doesn't seem like a brainless person, but when it comes to picking up leaks, he doesn't believe it. Based on his experience in playing with jade for more than ten years, the value of this arhat statue is no more than 40. It is the top suet jade, it is impossible to reach such a high price of 250 million.

That being the case, what kind of mistake did you pick up!
Therefore, he tended to Fang Hao's misjudgment, mistakenly regarded garbage as a treasure, and felt that he had seen a leak and must buy it.He has seen this kind of situation a lot in his ten-year career in antiques, and they are often newcomers who think they have good eyesight, fantasize about picking up leaks and getting rich overnight, and eventually lose their money.

Obviously, a young man like Fang Hao is such a novice in his mind.Therefore, he made a bold bid just now, because he knew that this kind of person would not give up easily. As expected, the outcome was not beyond his expectations, and finally made Fang Hao an extra 150 million.

As for what to do in case of an accident?He felt that there was no chance, if something happened, he would risk it all and not pay!

Fang Hao looked up at Ning Zhiguo, and said with a sneer, "So, a certain person is clearly blind, but he still thinks he has golden eyes."

Ning Zhiguo slapped the table violently: "A dog can't spit out ivory, so what are you talking about?"

Fang Hao smiled: "Who are you, why should I tell you? Tell you, what good does it do me?"

Ning Zhiguo sneered: "If you don't talk about it, what other means can you use besides playing aggressive games? Oh, yes, your means of spending money are quite powerful. In the blink of an eye, you lost 250 million yuan!" If I have such a son, I must break his hand."

"My son doesn't need a dog to gossip!" In front of his own face, talking about his son like that, others can't bear it and he can't control it, but Fang Zhengwei certainly can't bear it.

Ning Zhiguo was furious: "Who are you scolding!"

"It's you!" Fang Hao took away the Arhat statue, pointed at the base and shouted: "Open your dog eyes and see, what is this!"

The base looked dark and inconspicuous. However, after Ning Zhiguo took a few glances, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes widened: "This... this is impossible, I must have misread it!"

Zhou Chongfa also stepped forward to observe carefully. After a while, he suddenly exclaimed with an incredulous expression: "Isn't this Qinan?!"

Qinan is a kind of agarwood, that is, (kalam) in Sanskrit and local languages.The meaning of black is often written as "Jia Luo" in the Buddhist scriptures of the Tang Dynasty. Some people say that Gananxiang actually refers to Qinan, but it is easy to confuse and be used by profiteers. Therefore, Gananxiang is more Refers to agarwood.

Due to the long time of oil formation in Qinan and the high density of oil, the ointment is black, the skin is oily, the cracks and weathering patterns are particularly obvious, and the aroma is also very different. It has the effect of brushing the mat, so its fragrance is higher than that of ordinary agarwood.

After being recognized by the world, Qinan was the best among ancient tributes and rewards. In "A Dream of Red Mansions", when the noble concubine Jia Yuanchun returned to the Rongguo Mansion by order, among the gifts given to Jia Mu, there was an agarwood crutch, A string of Qinan rosary beads shows its nobility.The smell is long-lasting, and the sweetness still exists.

"Impossible! How could this be Qinan!" Ning Zhiguo shook his head like a rattle. Of course he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to admit that it was Qinan, otherwise his behavior just now would be a clown. Even worse than the jumping beam clown.

"Whether it's Qinan or not, it's not up to you or me, but it's up to it!"

Fang Hao glanced at him coldly, took out a knife and scraped a little off the base, the fragrance was already pleasant before burning.

"This is top-notch Hei Qinan!" Zhou Chongfa stared at the spot where Fang Hao scraped with the knife, and exclaimed, dumbfounded.

Black Qinan is mostly hard silk, with hardness, and the color is black. Because the fragrance-setting process is indeed a little short, some people think that the quality of Black Qinan is poor, but there are different opinions on the difference in the quality of Qinan, and there is no conclusion.

And in fact, it is impossible to compare who is good and who is bad like "cooked knot" and "raw knot". Each piece of Qinan needs to analyze the difference between its quality level in detail, and it cannot be generalized.

And Hei Qinan also has top-quality and top-notch products.A good black chinan grease is visible from the surface.Through careful observation, we can see the iron knot structure and grid-like structure.Through the structure, the oil secretion is even and smooth, and the fragrance is excellent, which is incomparable to ordinary Qinan.

This is how the piece of black Qinan in front of me behaves. Just looking at the distribution of oil, it's like looking at a piece of art made by nature.

Then, Fang Hao asked Jiang Mingrui for a lighter, and burned the bit of Qinan scraped off. Soon, a strong and sweet aroma poured into everyone's nostrils, and then the aroma withered and cleared the nose, lifting the breath. Rising up, straight into the forehead, it makes people feel refreshed.

Immediately, the aroma changed again, which is the difference between Qinan and agarwood. When tasting the fragrance, the aroma of agarwood is relatively single and stable, while the aroma of Qinan is long-lasting and full of changes.

Although Fang Hao didn't burn much black Qinan, it was unexpectedly low and lingering, and the room was filled with a refreshing and strange fragrance that didn't dissipate for a long time.

Under such circumstances, if someone still says that this is not Qinan, they are lying with their eyes open.

Jiang Mingrui praised: "This piece of Qinan is amazing. It can be said that it is the most outstanding and top-quality piece of Qinan I have ever seen. It is also a piece of black Qinan. No wonder some people say that black Qinan is the best. It’s no worse than Yinggelu, I’ve seen it today!”
