God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1449 Inventory
What did Xu Jingxing gain from this trip back to the island city?
Shi Tao’s landscape and figure paintings given by Xu Zhongheng, a pair of civet cat stone statues bought in the antique market, the "Taishan Stone Gandang" stele and the "Spirit Turtle Spitting Ink" Chengni inkstone, and the Yongle Nian blue and white plum vase taken by Lao Yang on behalf of Lao Yang. The stone lions from Gao Zhenyang's place, the statue of the door god, Yang Gongpan made of huanghuali, Zhao Mengfu's couplets, a bunch of antiques and some cash kept for the little girl He Shiwen.

Of course, the Yongle youth blue and white plum vase and the pile of antiques kept for He Shiwen are not his, he just sells and keeps them.

But even so, the gains are still considerable.

You know, these items are all good things, not only valuable, but also very practical, apart from giving to Yu Mingxiu, you can pick out a few to use in the Lian family compound, and use the rest for yourself.

To be honest, apart from Zhao Mengfu's couplets and Shi Tao's landscape and figure paintings, the remaining few works can only be brought into full play in his hands, especially the few stone carvings, which are simply wasteful for ordinary people.

The huanghuali Yanggong plate can be used in many places. It can be placed in the room as an ornament to stabilize physical properties, and it can also be carried with you as a magic stick. To a certain extent, it can be used as a "magic weapon" to attack the enemy or defend from Attacks at the physical level are very unusual.

However, the first thing Xu Jingxing did when he returned to the capital was to go into the live broadcast room and have a good chat with sand sculpture netizens for a while, and then drew some small prizes before going to sleep with Cai Xiaozhi.

The next day, Xu Jingxing called Ye Qing refreshed, "Manager Ye, are you busy?"

Ye Qing was straightforward: "Is it in stock?"

"Well, good stuff."

"where?"

"Siheyuan."

"Wait for me, I'll be right there," Ye Qing said before hanging up the phone.

In less than 10 minutes, Ye Qing rushed to the courtyard, and he couldn't wait to ask: "What level of good product?"

"The kind that can take down the place."

"your works?"

"No, no, it's a plum vase that I sold for a friend."

"let me see."

"Can you understand?"

"can."

"Come with me," Xu Jingxing beckoned, and brought Ye Qing into his small warehouse, carefully took off Comrade Yang's blue and white plum vase that he put on the treasure chest, and placed it in front of Ye Qing, " Take your time."

Ye Qing looked around with his eyes wide open, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face: "There are quite a lot of collections here."

"Yes, it's a pity that I still owe someone some bad debts," Xu Jingxing said with a shrug.

"I thought you were planning to use your status as the boss's son to renege on your debts," Ye Qing said angrily. This woman didn't know Xu Jingxing's identity at first, and she once thought Xu Jingxing was a little boy who wanted to eat soft food. Oh, at most, she was a little bit capable He has a bad face, so he is very rude to Xu Jingxing.

After Xu Jingxing's identity was revealed, Ye Qing knew what was going on, so much so that he was too embarrassed to ask for some of the "debts" that Xu Jingxing owed at that time.

Of course, the so-called debt is actually what Xu Jingxing promised to find thirty high-quality collections for Ye Qing.

Later, Xu Jingxing got some for Ye Qing one after another, but the quantity was not enough. Although he didn't take care of it when he was busy, how could he forget it? His extraordinary memory was not given for nothing. , unless he really wants to renege on his debt.

But now that the auction house makes money, it means he makes money. What's the point of him reneging on his debts?Rely on your own account?That's a loss of money, okay?

For businessmen, making less money equals losing money.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to renege on his debts, and he will even try his best to help Ye Qing and his mother run Jingwei Auction better, making money is second, and being able to gather popularity and connections is the key.

The annual profits of those big auction houses are actually not that much, but the connections they have accumulated over the years are really an exaggeration. Those international auction houses almost have the contact information of most of the richest people in the world, at least One-third of the rich are their customers.

When a group or company has such a deep network of people, it can make a lot of money by doing whatever it wants. As long as it has undefeated character, it can prosper for many years.

Xu Jingxing didn't intend to be an auction tycoon, but he could easily make some extra money for his family, so why not do it?

So when he comes across collectible antiques, he either keeps them for his own collection or sends them to the auction house. While making money for himself, he can also make money for his company. Why not?

Because of this, facing Ye Qing's robbing, he smiled and said: "You know that I am the boss's son, but you still dare to talk to me like this, be careful that I will make you into fried shredded squid with green onions."

Ye Qing gave Xu Jingxing a blank look, disdaining to respond to this boring quarrel, and turned his attention to the blue and white plum vase in front of him, "What is the age of this bottle?"

"Things from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty."

"What level?"

"Official kiln, high-quality goods."

"What's the rough estimate?"

"Guaranteed 1000 million." Xu Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "By the way, isn't this your job? Ask me why?"

"I think your vision and ability are better than the professional appraisers in the company," Ye Qing replied solemnly.

"... At this point, do you think I should be proud or humble?"

Ye Qing rolled his eyes again, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes," Xu Jingxing said, taking out Shi Tao's landscape painting and Zhao Mengfu's couplet, "both are masterpieces."

Ye Qing is not good at appraising antiques, but she has a certain degree of artistic accomplishment. When she unfolded the landscape painting by Shi Tao, her eyes lit up: "Good painting, where did you get it?"

"Secret."

"Boring people," Ye Qing snorted, and after looking carefully at Shi Tao's landscape painting for a moment, he nodded in satisfaction, "This painting has a chance to compete for the top lot."

"If you plan to put that plum vase in the same auction, then the finale must be that plum vase."

"The price increase of porcelain has slowed down slightly now, but the rise of calligraphy and painting works, especially ancient calligraphy and painting works, is very strong. Masterpieces like Shi Tao are very popular in the market. In my opinion, the value of this painting is definitely no better than that of that painting. Mei Ping is bad," Ye Qing said confidently.

In fact, this is indeed true. Porcelain is actually a handmade product. To put it bluntly, it is painting on the surface of porcelain. However, most of the people who paint porcelain are ordinary craftsmen or ordinary painters. There are few real master painters who draw pictures on porcelain, so The patterns on porcelain are generally not very high in terms of artistic content.

But there are too many masters who paint on paper or silk, and each master's work is full of gold.

It’s just that compared with porcelain, the shelf life of paper or silk calligraphy and painting works is too short, and they are too fragile, and they will be damaged if you are not careful, and the risk of depreciation is too high.As for porcelain, as long as it is not knocked against, it is basically not afraid of depreciation due to damage. It is an excellent investment and financial management project.

In this way, the value of porcelain on the market will be slightly higher, especially the price of fine porcelain has always been high and has been rising. It has been rising for so many years until the recent increase has been slightly reduced.

Note that the rate of increase has decreased, that is to say, the price of porcelain is still rising, but the increase is not as fierce as before.

It's a pity that this is only a general situation and does not include special cases.

What is a special case?

Lao Yang's blue-and-white plum vase from the Yongle period is a special case, because not only is this vase old and exquisite in workmanship, but also because the patterns on the vase are very artistic and were drawn by masters.With this in mind, this blue and white plum vase cannot be valued by the standard of ordinary porcelain.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingxing explained the situation of this blue and white plum vase in a simple and accurate manner, and said, "Let me tell you, I sold this for a friend. If it can't sell for eight figures, you must cut it down. , when the time comes, I will pay out of my own pocket.”

Ye Qing was a little surprised: "Is it really as exaggerated as you said?"

"You just boasted that my eyesight is better than that of your company's professional appraiser, so you don't believe me?"

"What about Shi Tao's painting?"

"This painting is also a high-quality painting, but it can only be regarded as a middle-grade high-quality painting among Shi Tao's paintings, and the state of preservation is not very good.

Secondary seven is also a slang word in antique shops or jade shops, which looks like about 500 million.

Seven is a seven digit number.

The middle is a number between four and six.

Form seven is between four and six million.

In the same way, the small five is between 90 and [-], and the big six is ​​between [-] and [-].

Ye Qing frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, picked up Zhao Mengfu's word and looked at it again, "What about this word?"

"The characters are good characters, but they are couplets after all, so the value will definitely not be too high, but they are Zhao Mengfu's characters after all. If you meet two buyers who like this character, there is still a chance to bid a high price. Just like Little Six."

In fact, Xu Jingxing was a bit reluctant to sell this calligraphy, after all his favorite font at one time was Zhao style calligraphy.

But now his calligraphy level is very good. Although he dare not compare with calligraphy masters like Zhao Mengfu, he is not far behind in theoretical knowledge, and even in terms of techniques. Natural and freewheeling, and this is not something that can be compensated by simply imitating or studying predecessors' calligraphy. What is needed is practice, practice and practice, and integrate the theoretical knowledge and techniques he has learned and absorbed little by little in the practice. .

So after absorbing the aura in this couplet, he still decided to send the word to the auction house.

This kind of small and fine works of famous masters may not make much money, but the auction house likes it very much because it can increase the popularity and popularity of the auction house.

If it is Qi Baishi's shrimp, many collectors with insufficient financial resources will not be interested when they hear it, because they can't afford it.

But Zhao Mengfu's couplets are not expensive, but they are famous enough, which is very attractive to those collectors who are not very rich but have a little extra money.
