The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Facing the scrutinizing or watching eyes of everyone present, Mr. Shao's face was ashen, frowning and staring at the young man with a delicate face, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

Shao Yuan was still young, a little impatient, and glared at Yunzhou immediately after being so provoked, "What do you mean, you suspect that my pick-up is fake——"

"Xiaoyuan!"

Shao Chuan interrupted him with a loud voice, wishing he could cover his son's mouth immediately, isn't this place without 300 taels of silver?

Sure enough, some people looked at them with subtle eyes.

Yun Zhou still had a slight smile, and said in a calm voice, "I just said that this piece of Tianhuang frozen stone was picked up, and there is no other meaning."

He turned to Mr. Du, "About two years ago, my roommate and I traveled to China City and found a piece of Tian Huangshi in the ghost market.

However, its production conditions are quite special. There are two layers of stone skin under the black stone skin on the surface, which is opaque, which makes the stall owner mistakenly think that it is an imitation Tianhuang original stone, and sells it at a very cheap price. "

The young man continued: "It is recorded in the "Illustrated Catalog of Seal Appreciation" that the single layer of crow leather can see through under the field lamp, and its texture is easy to identify.

If there is one or two layers of yellow or white skin inside the crow skin, it will be difficult to identify by light. This kind of Tianhuang stone with multiple layers of stone skin, if the skin is fine and smooth, without variegated colors, and without sand spots, it is more likely that the color and quality of the inside are all mixed. Good, like frozen stone, it is a rare material. "

After hearing Yun Zhou's words, everyone nodded.

The ghost market is a special street stall culture of buying and selling antiques in the early years. Street stalls are set up in the middle of the night to do business, and the market ends at dawn.

Anyone who frequents the antique market has heard that the young man described the time, place, and process of picking up the leaks in great detail, which shows that it is indeed true.

As for the "Seal Appreciation Catalog" mentioned by the other party, collectors who study miscellaneous items have heard of it, and it is a professional book.

They have some impression of this part of the content, but it is not like the other party can memorize it verbatim.

It shows that the foundation of young people is extremely solid, which is beyond comparison with ordinary people!

Many collectors hold him in awe.

At such a young age, he can grasp the basic knowledge so firmly. The most important thing is that he can use this knowledge in his daily appreciation and observation very naturally, achieving the perfect combination of theory and practice, and truly mastering it.

This kind of skill can only be achieved in the antique industry for many years.

The young man in front of him is definitely not simple, he is indeed the last disciple of Mr. Du!

The middle-aged man who estimated the Tianhuang frozen stone just now couldn't help but said: "Then...how much did you pay for it?"

At the same time, this was also the topic of greatest concern to everyone present. The voice of discussion weakened in an instant, and they all collected their minds and waited for the young man to speak.

Picking up leaks naturally depends on the gap between the cost and the actual value. The feelings brought about by big leaks and small leaks are different.

If he really picked up a big leak, not to mention his fame, his legendary deeds will also become a topic that people talk about.

Isn't it the sense of accomplishment and excitement of finding treasures when playing antiques?

'That's a Tianhuang steatite worth nearly ten million yuan. It is estimated that the price will not be too low when you buy it. ' Everyone thought this way, and the curiosity in their hearts could not be concealed.

Even old man Du couldn't help turning his eyes to his little apprentice.

He knew that Yunzhou's luck had always been good, but if the price was too high, he would really be ashamed to accept this seal.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man said a price that shocked everyone to the point of dropping their jaws, "It cost 3 yuan at that time."

This is not counting the remaining two-thirds of the Tianhuang Dongshi, his own flat seal, and the part of Mu's seal.

After he finished speaking, there was a few seconds of silence, followed by various unbelievable voices.

"How many did you say?!"

"This, this is impossible."

"Did you miss a zero or two?"

"3 yuan, it's 300 times more, it's definitely a big mistake—"

……

Even Shao Chuan kept looking up and down the young man with incredible eyes, is this really possible?

Even if his son pretended to pick up the leak, he would not dare to say so many times, a hundred times the sky.

However, the opponent actually has three hundred times more!

If he knew that Yunzhou still had two-thirds of Tianhuang Dongshi not counted, he would probably vomit blood.This is three hundred times, that is thousands of times!

Naturally, some people were skeptical about such a brilliant achievement, but they were refuted one by one by other people who had been to the ghost market.

"To put it bluntly, the ghost market is just a street stall. How can there be hundreds of thousands or millions of things on the street stall? You think it's a big antique shop."

"That's right, I've been there too. They're all kinds of objects, quite miscellaneous, real and fake, thousands of dollars is a lot of money."

"Don't worry, the owner of the stall knows that this is a piece of Tianhuang stone, and he will never sell it. It will appreciate in value in a few years, these people are very smart."

Someone came forward to say it, and Yun Zhou's experience was beyond reproach, almost everyone believed it.

Whether it is amateurs or collectors, there is a little more excitement in the eyes.

Spending 3 yuan to pick up a piece of top-quality Tian Huangshi worth more than 800 million yuan, it makes people excited. No matter where it is placed, it is a legendary story.

At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder whether they would have such good luck as youth in the future.

Old Man Du laughed loudly, walked over and patted Yun Zhou on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, I am indeed the closed disciple I have my eye on! Since it is a leak, I will accept this precious seal as my teacher."

He looked at Shao's father and son opposite him, "I can accept the congratulatory gift from my apprentice, but the congratulatory gift from Mr. Shao is too expensive, and it will be done if you want it."

After saying that, he returned the congratulatory gift, completely cutting off the other party's desire for Shao Yuan to be a teacher.

A few people nearby saw the returned Yongzheng official kiln pastel porcelain, and asked Mr. Shao with great interest, "By the way, this piece of official kiln pastel porcelain was picked up by your son, right? How did you find it?"

Shao Chuan's expression froze, and he calmed down quickly, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Then Xiaoyuan, let's talk about it."

A flash of panic flashed in Shao Yuan's eyes, and he noticed his father's stern gaze, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the fabricated story: "About a few months ago, I saw this piece of porcelain at a porcelain stall in the antique market. When you see it, you feel that the craftsmanship is extraordinary.

Later, I asked the stall owner about its origin, and it turned out that it was a family heirloom of a certain official’s descendant, and it was sold only in desperation, and it cost 5 yuan..."

With Yunzhou's jewels in front, Shao Yuan's pick-up is full of loopholes, worse than the stories made up by vendors in the antique market.

Now it is not like ten or twenty years ago, how could it be so easy to pick up leaks?

The vendors are all good.

Once such well-preserved and exquisitely painted Yongzheng official kiln porcelain appears in the antique market, it will be bought by experts in no time. How can it be the turn of a novice like Shao Yuan?

And the street vendor is not a fool, since he knows the heirloom and its origin, even if he doesn't understand it himself, he will ask someone who knows it to come and have a look.

Only sold for 5 yuan?Unless your brain is flooded.

What's more, looking at the young master of the Shao family's attire, he is a proper young master from a rich family. According to the virtues of those people, it would be no wonder if he didn't slaughter them ruthlessly. The fakes cost more than this price.

To be honest, people like Shao Yuan can only be cheated when they go to the antique market, so don't even think about it.

It is more credible to say that I saw this porcelain plate at a friend's house, or that the son and brother won a bet.

People have their own understandings in their hearts, and they looked at Shao and his son with extremely subtle eyes.

Of course, in this kind of occasion, the superficial politeness will still be maintained, so that the other party will not be embarrassed to come down, and he will just put on a few compliments.

Anyway, no matter how fake it is, it can't compare to this story of picking up leaks.

"Excuse me, excuse me, I'll answer the phone."

Even the thick-skinned Mr. Shao, who has practiced for more than 20 years, couldn't stand it anymore, and strode out of the banquet hall pretending to be busy with business.

Shao Yuan, on the other hand, couldn't stand everyone's suspicious and contemptuous gazes at all, and dropped his phone in anger as soon as he went out. He was about to drive his Lamborghini home when his father stopped him.

"Remember the purpose of your coming here. The banquet has not yet started. Knowing more people will be of great benefit to you in the future."

Seeing that Shao Yuan was not moved at all, and stood there with a sullen face, Shao Chuan eased his expression, "Don't worry, there will be a charity auction in a while, and we will definitely earn back our reputation by then."

"Dad, is it true?" The young man, who has always been competitive, couldn't swallow his breath. "Today, my fame was taken away by others. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have made such a big fuss."

Now thinking of those staring gazes, he felt unbearable, obviously it wasn't like this at the beginning!

"The table will start in two hours, let's sit down first."

Shao Chuan looked at his watch, and his expression was also not good-looking.

He originally planned to take Shao Yuan to get to know him after the bosses came, even if they were familiar.

But now he is not going to join Mr. Du's side, and wait for those people to disperse before talking, otherwise it will be tantamount to humiliating himself.

Shao Chuan frowned, his expression gloomy.

In recent years, as the business grew bigger and bigger, it was the first time that he couldn't step down in front of everyone, and the annoyance in his heart can be imagined.

But in this kind of situation, you must suppress your anger, otherwise more people will see the joke.

Shao's father and son sat at table No.14, chatted with the people at the table, and kept an eye on Mr. Du's movements from time to time.

Their departure did not cause a splash among the crowd, many people gathered around Yunzhou to ask him about his experience and details, completely forgetting the existence of Shao and his son.

The young man has an exquisite face, outstanding temperament, rich knowledge reserves, clear voice flowing like spring water, and clear and soothing tone, which makes people addicted unconsciously.

More and more people gathered around, and Yunzhou seemed to be another center besides Mr. Du.

Under his careful explanation, everyone's understanding of Tian Huangshi has been raised to another level. The boring knowledge of antiques is as easy to absorb as obvious common sense in the mouth of young people.

After listening to it, these people still have more to say.

When there was more than an hour before the banquet started, several bigwigs arrived one after another, and Mr. Du went to greet him at the door in person.

Among them are Qiu Lao, the former curator of the Municipal Museum in S City, Guo Lao, the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Meng Lao, an expert in cultural relics appraisal and a great collector, and the well-known rich men in S City who are also antique lovers, Mr. Qian and Mr. Luo, etc.

The people at this table almost included the most high-end group in the entire antique circle in S City. There was an endless stream of people who came forward to compliment and greet, and the bigwigs just nodded lightly and quickly took their seats.

Yun Zhou stood up and greeted each other under the introduction of Mr. Du.

"This is your closed disciple, Xiao Zhou, right?"

Mr. Qiu and Mr. Du have the best relationship, and they looked at Yunzhou kindly, "Yes, you are a good-looking talent. How many years have you been in the antique business?"

"More than three years."

"Oh." Old Qiu nodded, feeling a little more indifferent.

For more than three years, it can only be regarded as an introduction to complex antiques, and it cannot reach the level of a veteran.But for young people, there are plenty of opportunities to exercise.

"In the future, I will learn more from Master. The antique business is to learn more and learn more."

"Yes." Yun Zhou replied humbly.

Mr. Du didn't want others to underestimate his apprentice, so he took out the Tian Huangshi seal that he had collected before, and put it in his hand to play with.

"Hey, what good thing did you get?" Mr. Qiu immediately came over, "This is... Tian Huangshi! Let me see the color and texture—"

"Be careful, this is a congratulatory gift from Xiaozhou." Mr. Du reminded, his tone hard to hide his complacency.

"Don't worry, you still don't feel at ease when I appreciate the objects." When Mr. Qiu took the wooden box, he gave Yun Zhou a slightly surprised look.

Unexpectedly, this young man could still find the real Tian Huangshi in the market, which required a certain amount of foresight.

Playing with this small seal in his hand, Mr. Qiu became more and more frightened as he looked at it.

This solidified honey-like color and transparent texture are definitely not comparable to ordinary Tianhuang stones. This is the top-grade Tianhuang steatite!

"It's actually a Tianhuang frozen stone seal, where did you get it?" Old Qiu couldn't help asking Yunzhou.

Such a small square badge costs about tens of millions, and most importantly, it is hard to find in the market.

Elder Meng, who was sitting by the side, immediately stood up from his seat when he heard it, "Show me too."

Tianhuang jelly stone, since the Tianhuang stone carved lion paperweight was photographed more than ten years ago, it has hardly appeared again, which is extremely rare.

Mr. Du raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiaozhou picked up this leak from the ghost market in Porcelain City."

"Finding leaks?" Qiu Lao and Meng Lao's eyes immediately cast their eyes on Yun Zhou, and the expressions of the other distinguished guests were also quite interested.

Yunzhou understood that this was Mr. Du's flattery to him, so he repeated his previous judgment about Crow Pitian.

These few experts have greatly changed their views on young people.

Although the young man has not been in the industry for a long time, his theoretical knowledge and vision should not be underestimated.

"How much did you spend at that time?" Mr. Qian asked with great interest.

Mr. Du made a fool of himself, "Guess what."

"Since it's a leak, it shouldn't exceed a million."

"The place in the ghost city is about 20, I guess."

"It should be more than 20, but this is a Tianhuang steatite worth tens of millions!"

Mr. Du smiled and stretched out three fingers: "It only cost [-] yuan, didn't you expect that?"

His apprentice is so outstanding, he is honored as a master.

Several experts were amazed again and again, the price was really unexpected.

Even Mr. Qiu was ashamed to say that he spent 2 yuan ten years ago and missed a 200 million enamel snuff bottle. He used to brag about it to everyone.

Old people, that's just a hobby.

But compared with this young man now, he is much worse.

After the simple greetings, there is the most important part of appreciating antiques before the banquet.

Many people come here not only to get acquainted with bigwigs and business celebrities in the antique circle, but also to give their treasures to professionals to identify fakes and real ones.

After the host made the announcement, Mr. Du and several other experts sat on a row of appraisal seats on the left. All the distinguished guests took the objects they brought to the stage for appraisal, and it was very lively for a while.

Yun Zhou was arranged next to Mr. Du, which attracted the attention of Mr. Qiu and others.

They knew that Lao Du wanted to promote his disciples, but on such an occasion, letting a young man in his early twenties sit on the appraisal seat would do more harm than good, and his reputation would be ruined if he didn't pay attention.

Mr. Du: "Xiao Zhou is with me. I will add it after his appraisal."

Several people nodded and started to check.

Mr. Du and Mr. Qiu are good at all kinds of antiques, Mr. Guo is more inclined to calligraphy and painting ancient books, Mr. Meng specializes in miscellaneous items and ancient coins, and each has his own division of labor.

Shao Yuan looked at Yunzhou who was lucky enough to sit in the appraisal seat, resentment and jealousy grew like weeds, and he sat on the seat with a sullen face and played with his mobile phone.

The screen of the cell phone just broke, and he changed to a spare one, but he felt uncomfortable, and his mood became more and more irritable.

Shao Chuan also looked at the young man on the appraisal stage, and sneered in his heart, sometimes the higher the praise, the worse the fall.

Without the ability to match his status, he could only fall from a high altitude and fall to the ground to his death.

He comforted his son in a low voice, signaling him not to worry, there will be a good show soon.

The distinguished guests here are not to be trifled with. They care about Mr. Du's face on the surface, but not necessarily behind the scenes. There are many tricks.

Besides, the other party is so young, who will ask him for appraisal?

There are people queuing up at the other experts, but there is no one at the young man's place. Let's see how he ends up.

Unfortunately, the scene he expected did not appear.

As soon as Yun Zhou sat on the appraisal table, several people from S city rushed over. Hearing that he was appraising with Mr. Du, he was even more relieved.

"Mr. Xiaozhou, can you see if this blue and white yellow dragon pattern bowl of mine is real? Some friends say it is from the Daoguang period, and some friends say it is fake."

"Look at this multi-colored magu's birthday picture and birthday character plate. I bought it at the auction. It should be a Kangxi official kiln, but the bottom payment says 'Made in Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty', so it's a bit uncertain. "

"Master, I'm missing a piece of glaze on the top of my 'Qianlong Imitation Ru Kiln Bafang Bottle'. I'm really in a hurry. Can I get the number sooner, and I can pay a little more money."

……

Not only did Shaw and his son not expect such a scene, but neither did the others. Some of those who were behind the other lines thought about it and came here soon.

The speed here is fast, at worst, let other experts take a look at it later.

Mr. Du is also busy, occasionally taking care of his apprentice.

In fact, he said this just to reassure others. After staying in Zhenbao Pavilion for so long, he knew that Yunzhou's appraisal ability was no less than that of other appraisers.

Yun Zhou held the 'Watercolored Magu Xianshou Picture Shouzi Large Plate' in his hand and observed it carefully for 2 minutes, and quickly came to the conclusion: "It is the colorful porcelain from the Kangxi official kiln.

This piece of porcelain is covered with transparent glaze, and the glaze surface is smooth and shiny, which conforms to the characteristics of tight skin and bright glaze in the Kangxi era. Common craftsmen.

According to the subject matter and the birthday characters, I personally guess that it should be a birthday plate for Kangxi's [-]th birthday, with extraordinary meaning. "①

Mr. Du also took a few glances for him, "You are right, I have nothing to add."

Boss Shi heaved a sigh of relief: "Thank you Mr. Xiaozhou and Mr. Du. I bought it for 70 yuan. Is the price high?"

Yunzhou: "It's okay, there is a certain room for appreciation."

Boss Shi left with a happy face.

The guests at the back heard that the young man not only analyzed clearly, but Mr. Du didn't have anything to add, so they came here with their friends to line up.

Soon, the team here at Yunzhou also began to line up.

Although not as many as the other experts, there are quite a few of them.

The young man's appraisal speed is very fast, not at all slower than the veterans next to him.

And he never speaks ambiguously, and he will always come to a conclusion in the end. The kind of self-confidence from the inside out is easy to convince.

Of course, some of them were skeptical, and after being appraised by Yunzhou, they went to another expert. Unexpectedly, the conclusions of the two were exactly the same!

After this battle, the young man has completely gained fame in the high-end circle.

Shao Yuan waited for a long time, only waiting for the guests at the same table to praise Yun Zhou's words, he was so angry that he almost dropped his spare mobile phone.

The author has something to say: Shao Yuan: Dad, this is different from what you said, you dropped your phone.jpg
