Chapter 12 Snuff Bottles
Just as everyone was about to celebrate Mr. Qin's birthday and appreciate the antiques collected by Mr. Qin, the Qin family came over and came to Qin Liang and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Qin Liang said to everyone: "Everyone, my father suddenly felt uncomfortable, I am afraid he can't accompany you to appreciate the collection. I will represent my father. I hope you can forgive me."
Qin Liang said, everyone didn't understand. The old man of the Qin family was already old, but he couldn't stand the trouble. It was not convenient to come out at this time. They were afraid that they would not be able to visit, let alone stay and continue to appreciate the collection.
Everyone was very tactful and found a reason to say goodbye to Qin Liang. After asking Qin Liang to say hello to Mr. Qin on his behalf, everyone left.
"Brother Tang. Leave me your contact information."
Qin Liang stopped Tang Hao.
Tang Hao is young and has such a vicious treasure appraisal ability. This ability is not even comparable to his nephew, so he has no choice but to ignore Tang Hao.
Tang Hao just left the contact information, and Qin Yu also recorded it, and said to Qin Liang: "Second uncle. You have a relationship with Tang Hao, so am I a younger generation?"
"The master is the teacher. Everyone discusses his own opinions."
Qin Liang smiled.
Looking at the expressions of Qin Liang and Qin Yu, Tang Hao knew that Mr. Qin was not seriously injured. I was afraid that it was not because of physical problems, but because he might have encountered other urgent matters.
...
"Mr. Zhen."
Tang Hao and Zhen Yuexuan just walked out of Xiangruizhai, and the fat man in a sleeveless jacket came up with a smile.
"Fatty Ma, is there anything wrong?"
Zhen Yuexuan smiled but didn't.
"I'm here with Brother Tang. Brother Tang. Brother Tang. I have no eyes and offend me. I hope to forgive you. Today I will be the one who will be the boss and apologize to Brother Tang."
Fatty Ma said.
Tang Hao was about to refuse, but Fatty Ma grabbed him enthusiastically, and took him to his car, Hummer while grabbing his arm. Until Tang Hao was brought into the car, his fat face breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to the stunned Zhen Yuexuan and said, "Mr. Zhen. I think you will definitely give me a chance to apologize to Brother Tang. I hope I will forgive you."
As he said that, Fatty Ma got into the car, started the car and left.
Tang Hao didn't want to delay Zhen Yuexuan. He was the daughter of Zhen's Jewelry and the president. Time was precious. Seeing that this fat man obviously could not be revenge on him, he called Zhen Yuexuan. When Zhen Yuexuan was trading in Zhen's Jewelry, Zhen Yuexuan left her contact information.
"Mr. Zhen, don't worry. Just have a meal. I will go back to school after I finish it. I want to thank you for today's work."
Of course, Tang Hao was referring to Zhen Yuexuan taking the opportunity to break the matter that he was opened by Dongda University, and then Professor Feng used the power to destroy Li Wenhui. Zhen Yuexuan made an indelible contribution to this matter.
"Okay. That Magui is not a good thing, beware of it."
Zhen Yuexuan reminded.
"I know."
Tang Hao said.
Fatty Ma's Hummer finally stopped in the parking area under a good restaurant, took Tang Hao out of the car, and said, "Brother Tang, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I must let me thank you very much today."
"Makui. You brought me over, can't you just apologize for treating me to a meal?"
Tang Hao said suspiciously.
"Brother Tang. You are a keen eye. It is my honor to be able to make friends like you. Let's talk about it later when we go in."
The fat man Ma Kui smiled accused and said with a slight smile. The arrogant and arrogant look in Xiangruizhai just now disappeared without a trace.
After the fat man Ma Kui took Tang Hao into the restaurant, he sent the waiter, and said to Tang Hao: "Brother Tang. Brother Tang, I have no eyes, don't bother me. I have something to bother you this time. There is a young man from Hong Kong. Because he lost a lot of money because he was gambling in Haojiang, he wanted to sell the antiques he collected at home to cash in. He has sold a lot of things in Dongchuan and raised a lot of money. The last thing he sold was a snuff bottle. I have negotiated with him the price. You will have to help me check it later."
"Aren't you attending Mr. Qin's Xiangruizhai Antique Appreciation Conference today? Why did you arrange the transaction today?"
Tang Hao knew that this fat man suddenly gave in and said all the good things, and knew that he must have something to ask for. Now it seems that he is to be an expert in treasure appraisal and identify antiques for him.
"After I went to Xiangruizhai, I received a call from this young master, urging me to trade, but how could I leave on such an important occasion? Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin was unwell and could not continue to participate in the antique appreciation meeting, so I contacted him and wanted to finalize the transaction as soon as possible so that people would not be able to get the first to register."
Fatty Ma Kui explained.
"Do you know him well?"
Tang Hao said.
"Brother Tang. If I know him well, I don't have to ask you to appraise me. However, he had sold several antiques in Dongchuan before, and they were all taken over by people in the circle. They were all appraised and were authentic."
Ma Kui said: "But the snuff bottle he is going to sell next is Yezhong snuff bottle in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is a snuff bottle painted with fish and algae pictures. I sent me a photo and it was really beautiful and amazing. I am determined to win it, and of course the price is not cheap. I hope Brother Tang can help me check it."
"You trust me so much?"
Tang Hao was curious. The fat man was looking for trouble with him at first, but now he can take the initiative to intersect with each other again. This surprised Tang Hao. This fat man can bend and stretch, no wonder he can earn so much.
"Hehe, don't be afraid to tell Brother Tang. I've started to do it on purpose. Qin Yu praised you to the sky. I just wanted to consider your weight. I was a little concerned. There were many people who were interested in Ye Zhong's snuff bottles in the late Qing Dynasty. I was embarrassed to find familiar insiders. At that time, they fell in love with them and asked for a higher price. I bought it from me. Should I sell it or not?"
Ma Kui explained the reason for targeting Tang Hao in Xiangruizhai. He had made a temporary decision and had his idea on Tang Hao. At this moment, Tang Hao asked, and he was embarrassed to hide it.
"I can help you with the identification. But according to the rules, do I have to charge a certain commission?"
Tang Hao said.
"Of course. As long as the transaction is completed, the commission is 10%, what do you think?"
Ma Kui showed enough sincerity.
Tang Hao had no reason to disagree. If he really promoted this order business, he would get 10% commission, and he could get 200,000 yuan with the antique market price of Ye Zhong snuff bottles in the late Qing Dynasty.
Helping people identify the antique business that can be charged ten points of commissions for more than 2 million yuan, which he could never imagine before, but now the commissions of more than 200,000 yuan are within reach.
After negotiating the commission with Tang Hao, Ma Kui called the waiter and ordered a lot of good dishes. He ordered Feitian Moutai again, which was quite generous.
"Mr. Dan is coming soon. Let's go out to greet him."
The fat man Ma Kui mentioned is the young master of the Shan family who comes from Hong Kong Island and sells antiques.
"Single."
Tang Hao and the fat man Ma Kui left the box and saw young people wearing trendy clothes and armed with big brands on their bodies. They walked towards them. From top to bottom, they exuded a dandy atmosphere. They wore baseball caps, toad mirrors on their noses, and Swiss watches on their wrists. They walked with wind.
"Mr. Ma."
The cynical young master Shan greeted Ma Kui, and then led a man with a bodyguard to the box opened by Ma Kui.
“You can talk now…”
Ma Kui was anxious to see the baby, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Dan.
"Mr. Ma. What's the hurry? Since I promised to trade with you, the things are naturally yours, as long as you can give the price you agreed upon before."
Mr. Shan said.
When the wine was halfway through, Ma Kui mentioned the transaction many times, but was pushed by Dan Shao's Tai Chi. When Ma Kui was in a hurry, Dan Shao said, "Mr. Ma. You are very tempted by me. I decided to sell the things to you. Have you brought the expert? If you bring them, let him make a good appraisal. We trade earlier, so I can rush back to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible."
As he said that, Mr. Dan signaled the bodyguard to open the box he brought. After the box was opened, Ye Zhong's snuff bottle was exposed in front of Ma Kui and Tang Hao in the late Qing Dynasty.
As Ma Kui said before, this is a snuff bottle with a fish and algae picture inside.
I saw both sides of fish and algae patterns, and the brushwork was vivid and interesting, as if the living real fish were swimming in front of me.
The upper left side of the snuff bottle reads "The summer of Guimao is hidden in the capital, Ye Zhongsan".
It was the work of Ye Zhongsan, a master of painting pots in the late Qing Dynasty, and one of the three major painters of the snuff bottles.
“Beauty…is really beautiful!”
The moment Ma Kui saw the snuff bottle with fish and algae pictures inside, his eyes widened and he stuttered when he spoke.
"Mr. Ma, let's give you the expert appraisal. Let's trade earlier."
Mr. Shan urged him.
"Brother Tang. I'm in trouble."
Ma Kui suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Tang Hao next to him.
Tang Hao thought to myself, I'm going to go. Now the ability to fake is so powerful? He was fortunate to see Ye Zhongsan's work. When his teacher Professor Qian took him to a collector's home, he saw it. It was also beautiful and exquisite. The painted fish and algae patterns seemed to be full of spiritual energy and appeared vividly, just like the real thing. He also felt this way when he saw this at this moment.
But unfortunately, Ye Zhongsan's inner snuff bottle was painted with fish and algae, and he did not see any treasure qi or any treasure light. There is no doubt that it is definitely not true. The big case is about to emerge, and this is a imitation.
Tang Hao did not immediately respond to the fat man Ma Kui, but looked up and down at Dan Shao and said, "Dan Shao comes from a famous family in Hong Kong and must have a deep heritage. You have received British aristocratic etiquette since childhood, and the food and use are very Westernized. But today I saw Dan Shao, and I found that you are very skilled in using chopsticks."
Mr. Dan felt a little sad, but a sneer appeared on his face, with a dandy look disdainful, "What are you? How dare you talk to me like this? Mr. Ma. Who is this person? Do we still want to trade?"
"Brother Tang. What do you mean?"
Ma Kui is not a fool. When he heard Tang Hao's words, he thought of Mr. Dan's style before, and his expression became tense.
"Makui. This is a fake."
Tang Hao said.
