Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 706
What is important in antiques is clear inheritance and clear origin.

The so-called curios are not just that their value can increase over time. The pots and pans used by ordinary people in ancient times are just broken tiles and kilns in modern times, and they are similar to rare treasures such as Ming Chenghua Doucai chicken cups.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that "Chengyao wine cups, each pair of Zhibo silver hundred gold, is worth one hundred thousand", and the general treasures have their origins.

With his instinctive feeling, Zhao Gang felt that this pair of glasses was not simple, and its origin might be much bigger than he imagined.

He thought about it last night and decided to go to the Dingcheng Pawnshop in the center of the city and ask them to give a judgment. The appraiser there, Duan Tiande, is known as the number one eye in Linshui. Zhao Gang thought about going there to try his luck. .

The traffic jam in the city center was serious, and Zhao Gang stayed in the car for half an hour before arriving at Dingcheng Pawnshop.

Dingcheng Pawn Shop has an entire office building in the city center as its storefront, with a huge row.

Dingcheng Pawnshop is not mainly engaged in the sale of antiques, real estate and land, asset mortgages, everything.The boss behind it is extremely mysterious, and Zhao Jinnian knew nothing about him in his heyday.

"Ding"

The elevator door opened slowly, Zhao Gang lowered his head to think about something, and walked inside. There was a pretty woman in an apricot yellow dress standing in the elevator, holding an ebony box in her hand, with a nervous expression on her face.

"Did you also go to Dingcheng Pawnshop?" Seeing Zhao Gang going to the same floor as herself, the pretty woman started to talk.

Zhao Gang nodded, and glanced at the ebony wooden box held by the woman. The wooden box was exquisitely carved and the material was oily. Packed things up.

"Coincidentally, I also went there to see things." There was a kind smile on the pretty woman's face.

Zhao Gang nodded without saying a word, thinking in his mind how to let Duan Tiande appraise it and take it back without losing face after entering later.

This matter is quite critical. Zhao Gang's plan this time is to use this thing in his hand to lure him to help him identify it.

But if it is not handled properly and Duan Tiande sees his intentions, I am afraid that he will offend the number one eye in Linshui.

The pretty woman was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Zhao Gang to react like this, it was the first time she came to this kind of place, she didn't know what to do, she wanted to find someone to talk to, so as to strengthen her courage, but unexpectedly, she found A boring gourd.

She is beautiful, coupled with the influence of poetry and prose since she was a child, she has an outstanding temperament. She has always been the focus of men's eyes in the crowd, but she is low-key and doesn't like to interact with people too much.

The number of times she took the initiative to talk to the man was very seldom, and she didn't expect to be treated like this on this rare occasion.

It's not that Zhao Gang is pretending to be aloof, it's just that he rarely talks to people, let alone initiates conversations with anyone. When a girl asks him like this for a while, he doesn't know what to say.

"Ding!"

After a while, the elevator arrived, and the pretty woman walked straight to the front desk with the box in her hands. Zhao Gang stood aside, waiting in line.

"Hello, I have an appointment with Mr. Duan Tiande." The pretty woman stood at the front desk, took out a business card and handed it over.

"Miss Chen, Mr. Duan has been waiting for you for a long time."

The little girl at the front desk glanced at the business card, her expression suddenly became a bit more respectful, and she quickly led the pretty woman inside.

Chen Ziqi nodded politely and walked inside.

Zhao Gang stood outside, meditating and resting. The time passed by every minute and every second. After three or four hours, he didn't see Chen Ziqi coming out, and his brows frowned slightly.

He was a little impatient, but Duan Tiande's rules were also one-to-one, it had been like this for a long time, and it was not against a certain person.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhao? Mr. Duan invites you to go in." The girl at the front desk who went in before walked up to Zhao Gang and said in an amiable manner.

Zhao Gang played with the satin box in his hand, nodded, and followed her towards the inside.

The furnishings along the way are quite modern, surrounded by intelligent equipment, large and small LCD screens, Zhao Gang saw dozens of them along the way.

Duan Tiande's office is located at the corner of the office building, and the two huge floor-to-ceiling windows highlight the style of the living room.

There are few antique treasures that ordinary appraisers would display around. Instead, there is a precision instrument that is as tall as a person. Next to it is a row of bookcases filled with books, plus a simple-style fabric sofa.

This doesn't look like an antique appraiser's office, but rather a place where scholars stay.

Zhao Gang knocked on the door, and a deep male voice sounded in the room: "Please come in!"

He opened the door and went in, and saw a man and a woman sitting on the sofa. The man was about 40 years old, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and an old-fashioned robe. The starch was a little whitish, but he looked clean and decent. , quite temperamental.

The woman is Chen Ziqi, the pretty woman Zhao Gang met in the elevator.

Seeing Zhao Gang coming, Duan Tiande stood up and greeted him affectionately: "Xiao Zhao, come and sit here!"

Zhao Gang nodded slightly. Before he came, he had talked with Duan Tiande's assistant on the phone. He walked to the sofa, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Master Duan, I heard about you when I was very young. When I saw you today, you really have extraordinary temperament."

Duan Tiande reached out his hand to shake Zhao Gang, and said with a smile, "Everywhere, it's Miao Zan, the big guy, but Xiao Zhao, you made a big splash at Mr. Tang's auction yesterday. You have already gained such a reputation at such a young age!"

Zhao Gang was stunned, he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, Duan Tiande already knew what happened yesterday in just one night.

Looking at his expression, Duan Tiande knew what he was thinking, took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of him, and said with a smile: "Now is the information age, your heroic demeanor at the auction yesterday has spread throughout the antique circle of Linshui City , Now everyone praises you as a hero born a teenager, and your reputation is very loud."

In the antique world, the reputation of an appraiser is his job. Zhao Gang now has at least the reputation of a first-class appraiser in the Linshui antique world. People on the cusp.

"It's just luck. In terms of real skills, Master Duan is much stronger. I happen to be familiar with that allusion. I didn't expect a blind cat to meet a dead mouse." Zhao Gang was humbled again and again.

Most of the reason why he was so high-profile yesterday was that Shen Fei and Zhao Jinnian were really irritating. He intended to act in a low-key manner, and never thought of becoming famous because of it.

"Hey, it's good for young people to be modest, but don't be too modest. At the auction, all the experts have checked their eyes. You are the only one who can see the origin of that piece of ink. I'm afraid that in two years, your ability will be gone." It's better than me!"

Duan Tiande's eyes were full of praise. In fact, he watched the video of the entire auction at a friend yesterday, and was shocked by Zhao Gang's performance.
