Chapter 79, eight thousand, not 8000 million

After dinner...
Buddha: "Xiao Feng, I will just follow my father-in-law in the afternoon. You can rest!"

Xu Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "How can that be done? I am a partner with my father-in-law. I collected a few items in the morning and plan to collect a few more items in the afternoon."

"Why are you so disobedient!"

"You can just go to the stall and pick up the leaks."

"It's so easy for you to pick up leaks! Everyone knows the stall owners and they have quite a lot of experience. They were fine before, but not anymore."

In the past, people didn’t know much about antiques and didn’t know their prices.

But now is the era of big data.

Just look it up and you'll know the price.

Nowadays, most of the stalls are fakes. If you don’t notice them, it’s good. As for picking them up, don’t even think about them.

Buddha said: "Well, I'm working as a book boy next to my father-in-law. I just happen to be studying and taking a look at what valuable treasures there are."

"Father-in-law, do you have any objections?"

Lin Yu: "You said so, what can I say?"

The three walked out of the hotel.

Head straight to the antique market.

The appraisal continued in the afternoon, and when my father-in-law arrived, many people spontaneously lined up in a long line, waiting for his father-in-law's appraisal.

A middle-aged man walked forward holding a huge jar, which immediately aroused exclamations.

"What a big jar."

"Yeah, what are you pretending to be?"

"It looks like it should be used to hold wine, either wine or rice. In the past, large vats were used to hold rice."

"It should be worth a lot of money if it's so big!"

"It's definitely worth something."

Lin Yu looked at the jar, and the middle-aged man introduced it: "This is passed down from my family. Last time, a collector saw my jar and was willing to buy it for 800 million."

"I was shocked. Master, can you tell me what era this is from?"

"How much is it worth?"

Lin Yu looked at the spy and asked, "Do you know anything about this jar?"

"do not know."

"Your jar is very big. Judging from the craftsmanship of its appearance and the combination of white glaze and brown color, it can be seen that this variety belongs to the Cizhou Yao family."

"Judging from its painting color, its color shows the characteristics of sauce color, the same color as soy sauce."

Lin Yu smelled the smell: "It still smells of soy sauce. Did you use it to put soy sauce?"

"Master, you really know how to joke."

The crowd laughed.

"Father-in-law is here again."

"It also smells like soy sauce."

"It's quite similar to the color of soy sauce. It's probably dyed with soy sauce."

"Father-in-law is joking. Do you take it seriously? How to color soy sauce? It can only be aged, not colored."

"I guess this guy must have added soy sauce."

The middle-aged man said: "Is this a fake?"

"It's not a fake. Judging from the characteristics of its painting, it belongs to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. And judging from the bottom, it is very worn. It is obviously commonly used at home."

"This kind of thing was originally used to store wine."

"This is an authentic piece."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Master, how much is this worth?"

"Eight thousand."

The middle-aged man exclaimed: "8000 million?"

the crowd exclaimed.

"8000 million, is this thing so expensive?"

"Get rich, get rich!"

"Isn't this thing worth 8000 million? You know, very expensive porcelain is relatively famous. This thing looks like a popular thing at first glance. How can it be worth 8 million?"

"Didn't you listen to what my father-in-law said just now? This thing is 8 million."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "You missed a word?"

"Which word?" "Ten thousand."

8000 million is one less word "ten thousand"?

The middle-aged man exclaimed: "8000 yuan, not 8000 million?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, this thing is 8000 yuan."

The middle-aged man said: "Master, someone once offered 500 million, but I didn't even sell it. You want me to ask for 8000 yuan?"

The middle-aged man expressed doubts.

Is this the right price?

Wouldn't it be nonsense?

Lin Yu said with a smile: "Porcelain is also divided into high and low. Although this thing is an old thing, the price is not high. It is a popular thing, just like a jar for making wine."

"Not all antiques are valuable. Your jar is ordinary, so it is not valuable."

"Why Yuan blue and white is valuable is because of its unique craftsmanship. Why Xuande furnace is valuable is also because of its unique craftsmanship. There are also Yongle sweet white glazes, which are rare in the world."

"This thing of yours is completely incomparable."

"Only the 500 million you mentioned has not been sold. Find him quickly and sell him."

500 million, who is so stupid!
Buy one of these.

The middle-aged man asked: "Master, do you accept it? I'll sell it to you..."

Lin Yu:? ? ? ?

Get some yarn!
What are you using this jar for? It’s so big and you have to carry it back.

Am I crazy!

Lin Yu shook his head: "I won't accept this thing, but you can go to an antique store and show them. As long as the price is no less than 6000 yuan, you can sell it."

Lin Yu looked back at Lord Buddha.

"Lord Buddha, do you accept this?"

Buddha quickly shook his head: "I don't accept this stuff, I only accept high-quality products."

"Sorry, we don't accept this item. You can go to an antique store to have a look."

The middle-aged man left holding the jar.

"This antique is genuine. It was only worth 8000 yuan originally. Are antiques so cheap now?"

"Then what objects are you looking for? Antique porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty is worth several thousand yuan. These are for civilian use and are not high-quality products."

"Only high-quality products are valuable. This thing has no use at all except being bigger."

"Things used by civilians are very cheap."

The next collector brought a piece of bronze.

Lin Yu said: "The name of this collection is called Gui Dou. The shape is very beautiful. It is in the shape of a dragon. This is a dragon head. The dragon's whiskers, eyes, and hidden carvings are very exquisite."

"This is a good piece of art. This style was popular from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The general battles are not this big."

The treasure hunter asked: "What is this for?"

"This is usually used by the military for cooking and boiling water. You see, there is a handle on it, and there is a ring on it. It is tied with a rope and placed on the body."

"A piece of art of this size is very rare on the market."

“Looking at the patina from above, there’s no doubt this is an authentic piece.”

The treasure hunter asked, "How much is this thing worth?"

"It's hard to estimate this thing. It's probably between 20 and [-]!"

The treasure hunter said: "I'm having a hard time at home recently, so I plan to sell this thing. Master, don't you collect antiques? How much do you think I'll pay for this thing?"

Lin Yu looked at the antique, but it was a very exquisite piece of bronze.

Lin Yu was just about to speak.

Buddha said: "I will give you [-] yuan."

"Eighty thousand, the master just said that it is between 20 and [-]. Isn't your offer of [-] too little?"

"My father-in-law made an estimate, and he naturally overestimated it. If you don't believe it, you can go to an antique store and try it out to see how much they give. The most they can give is 5 yuan."

"If they are less than [-], you come back to me and I will buy them."

The treasure hunter looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu nodded: "You can try it. There are many antique shops around. Ask about the price. If the price is high, you can sell it."

"It's not high, just go back and find him."
