Chapter 288: How deep is the water in the antique industry?
"Lu, you said, these things, oh no, can these bronzes really be worth such a high price?"
Lu Zijian and Andre were already driving Rafa on their way home.
As for the five bronzes, they were all on the armored cart in front.
Yes, Lu Zijian paid a valuable money to hire an insurance truck.
The purpose is to transport these five bronzes back to St Andrews. There is no way, Rafa could not put them down at all.
As for the other garbage in the warehouse, Lu Zijian and Andre also carefully identified it again.
It is indeed something worthless, so it is only when you spend money to let others clean it up.
"I really don't know whether it's worth it or not. After all, I don't know if it's a fake product now."
Lu Zijian is good at Andre's senses.
At least Lu Zijian really didn't expect Andre to speak for him and warn him.
It also solved a lot of trouble for myself.
Although Andre did not do this entirely to help him, Lu Zijian still has to remember this love.
"No, Lu, I'll tell you that the collector was very famous in Europe just now. His eyes were poisonous. The artwork he liked was probably real."
Although that guy's background is a bit unclean, Andre still wants to admit that this guy is still very professional, especially his eyes.
There are countless treasures I have seen. Although it cannot be said to be 100% guaranteed, it should not be very wrong.
"Come on, Andre, that's because this person hasn't visited Panjiayuan. If he has been there, he will be sure that he will doubt his life."
Lu Zijian is not a big deal.
The Panjiayuan in China is like a mixture of dragons and snakes.
Here, old objects are everywhere, and those so-called "experts" are deceived.
Foreigners understand the history of China? Understand the cultural relics of China?!
Ha, in Lu Zijian's opinion, it is you guys who are cheating on you who are self-righteous.
That is, Pan Jiayuan has undergone strict rectification during this period.
Do you want to tell whether or not? You can't tell the old objects at all.
"Andre, don't believe it, I know this here..."
Lu Zijian told a news he saw when he was a child.
You know, it was really sensational at that time.
This happened in the 1990s, when a foreigner who claimed to be his "Huaguotong" wandered around Panjiayuan.
I took out a vase from the early Ming Dynasty more than 500 years ago, which was still a singfeng bottle. That thing used to be a bottle that wealthy people enjoyed and appreciated.
Of course, in a wealthy businessman's home, these bottles are often boutique.
In the international market, it should be priced at around 300,000 US dollars.
The price in China is around 1.2 million yuan.
There is a price difference here, and this foreigner relies on his own as a "Huaguotong".
Then I was wondering if I should make a profit? The price difference was about US$100,000.
It’s a profitable business. Of course, foreigners still have a certain level of appraisal.
When I met this Tingfeng Pot, I felt that I had encountered an opportunity and could make a fortune.
After careful observation, the craftsmanship of this bottle is indeed what it was back then.
I have seen this bottle almost the same at auction, and it is really an item that European wealthy businessmen have always liked recently.
It’s better to act than to be moved, and you’ll talk about it after you get it.
It looks similar to what is introduced in the book, and this person is really moved.
After a bargaining home, I finally earned my income for RMB 1 million.
Of course, this person is not stupid either, he must have carefully identified it.
At the beginning, the stall owner kept boasting about the bottle.
You should know that in Panjiayuan, everything has its own story.
Of course, these stories are very old-fashioned. Most of them are lost in family matters. There is no way to take out the things from our ancestors to find someone with destiny.
These are nonsense, and few people really believe it.
Foreigners obviously don’t believe such a story. They are still a “Huaguotong”, and they still can’t deceive themselves in this kind of pediatrics.
So I made it clear directly.
Not to mention, the stall owner who was exposed was not embarrassed, but instead praised the foreigner.
"Hey, this guy, I didn't expect you to be a good person. Okay, then I won't make up my story anymore. You can see it yourself. This is the serious Mingchu Tingfeng Bottle, which is definitely a fine product."
The foreigner put the Tingfeng bottle in his hand and played with it for a long time. Looking at this base, it was indeed a fine product at that time.
For safety reasons, this person also made a carbon 14 termination.
The foreigner first spent 500,000 yuan to settle the Tingfeng bottle.
I sent it to make a carbon 14 dynasty. If it was really an old object from the early Ming Dynasty, it would be consistent in time.
Then this Tingfeng Ping is a serious treasure.
At the beginning, the stall owner was not happy, but with the insistence of the foreigner, he had to compromise.
As a result, a little putty was slightly hung from the bottom of the Tingfeng Bottle.
It was indeed an old object from the beginning of Ming Dynasty. What else can I worry about?
The foreigner paid the final payment directly, took the Tingfeng bottle and returned to China.
"What's next?" Andrey felt a little fascinated by hearing it.
In Andrei thought, all this high-tech was used, so there shouldn't be any fake ones in this Tingfeng bottle.
This is fake, and Andrei was really convinced. He used carbon 14 as a termination. This high-tech will never lie.
"Hey, it's really fake." Lu Zijian directly revealed the answer.
"Impossible, carbon 14 has done it unless it's a joint trick."
"That's not. Carbon 14 is indeed a mistake. This thing is indeed an old object from the early Ming Dynasty."
"So it might be fake?"
"The key is that this thing is just an yin and yang object."
"Yin and Yang objects?" This was the first time Andre heard such a statement, and for a moment, he was a little confused.
"The base is a genuine old object, but the bottle on it is not real, but a high-quality imitation old object."
Andre was completely stunned by Lu Zijian's statement.
——Damn, can you still play like this?
What is the psychological shadow of that "Hua Guotong"?
Is there such a "playing method"? Andrei feels that he has gained some knowledge.
"So, the antique industry is really deep. Not to mention how toxic the collector's vision is, even if he is a domestic history professor or a professional treasure appraiser, there are still times to be a shock."
"And, there is a rule in the antique industry, buy it and leave it."
"Even if it is found out later that it is fake, it will be useless."
"You can't go to the buyer."
"Then you say, these bronzes?"
"I don't know, but even if it is true, it won't sell it."
Lu Zijian said that it was a powerful saying, these are national treasures, and national treasures are so popular...
