Chapter 796 The Yongzheng Enamel with Unknown Clues
Most of the clues recorded on these nine pages of letters have now been confirmed to have been lost overseas; others have already been collected by the national collection or appeared at auctions.

However, after everyone compared and analyzed, they found that there was one thing that seemed to have no clear attribution so far, and the clues were unclear.

This is a Yongzheng enamel color family appreciation bottle.

According to the brief introduction above, the height of this vase is no more than four inches, and the diameter is no more than an inch and a half; it can be seen that it is very small, which is also a characteristic of Yongzheng enamel.

The pattern is a flower group of mountains and rocks, the rooster stands upright and looks back, and the hen looks for food with her chicks;

The enamel colors of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, which have been mentioned many times before, were all used by the imperial court, and they were rarely handed down from generation to generation, so they are extremely precious.

And this Yongzheng enamel color family appreciation bottle appeared in the autumn of the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929) in the Yanjing Antique Chamber of Commerce, and was "sealed and sung".

Fleeing goods yards were very common in the Republic of China. They were places where people in the industry communicated and traded. The participants were basically antique dealers and professionals. In addition to direct sales, there were often barter or auctions. They were considered small circles.Nowadays, some small circles also call self-organized exchange meetings or small auctions. At first, Yu Yao was taken by Shen Yuan to a "shopping yard".

At that time, transactions were often "sleeves".In addition to playing this quietly by yourself, the stocking yard will also provide ready-made large sleeves.Playing this is mainly to keep secrets and not to disclose the transaction price.

In the antique shop during the Republic of China, the rules were much more particular than now, especially the one of not looking for later accounts.Even if you wake up and know that people are using fakes as a trick, as long as you pay the money and leave the house, you have to knock out your front teeth and swallow them in your stomach.

If you go to find a later account, it’s not impossible, usually you have to pay half of the money; if you make a fuss, it’s hard not to tell the result, and you won’t be able to hang around in the industry in the future.

But it's different now, and there are more people looking for later accounts.Moreover, it is not uncommon to see the "Consumer Rights Protection Law" to call the police and file lawsuits.

Many people don't understand, and they have different judgment eyes. It is understandable to use the current social norms or legal regulations to judge.However, in the minds of most veteran players, they still recognize the old rules of the antique shop.It is not a necessity to play antiques. Simply put, what you play is eyesight and mind. Play if you can afford it, and don’t if you can’t.

In the stock market during the Republic of China, it was easy for two people to trade an item, but what if an item was of high value and was favored by a bunch of people?

Then you have to "seal the goods and sing the label", just like this Yongzheng enamel color family appreciation bottle.

Put things in the middle, and then let many buyers write bids, seal bids, and bid.This is also a bit like the "dark auction" that appeared in the Burmese jadeite public market.

After the bidding is over, the designated personnel sing the bids one by one, and the highest bidder, if the owner approves the price, it will be his.take away.

The highest bidder for this Yongzheng enamel-color family appreciation vase was the owner surnamed Wang of an antique shop in Dongsi Pailou.

Fifteen thousand oceans!
At the end of the 20s and the beginning of the 30s, one piece of ocean, in Yanjing, could have a meal of hot-boiled mutton in a big restaurant; in Shanghai, two guests could have a complete set of Western food.

It is not very scientific to say that 100 oceans can cover hundreds of thousands to millions now, because the prices were different then and now, and many situations were also different.The number of people who can spend hundreds of thousands and one million now is definitely much higher than the number of people who could spend [-] yuan back then.

This price is indeed very high.

Ghost Eye Sect didn't have palm eye to participate in this raid, and this enamel piece was brought out temporarily by the owner. It was already the next day when Xu Taiyan got the news.As a result, he went to find the antique dealer surnamed Wang, but the things had changed hands.

The one who bought it was a businessman surnamed Gao, who is said to be from Shanghai, and wanted to take the things back.The thread was broken.This businessman surnamed Gao was not from an antique shop, but he just said that his surname was Gao and he was from Shanghai in the shop of an antique dealer surnamed Wang.It's hard to say whether this information is true or not, and the Ghost Eye Gate didn't find this person in Shanghai afterwards.

Of course, Xu Taiyan was just worried that he would resell it to foreigners; if he kept it for himself, that's fine.

"According to the auction records and collection records I've read, I really don't have any impression of this piece of enamel." Yu Yao said, "Since everyone hasn't heard of it, it's still unknown."

"This can be checked, but there are priorities, so let's write it down first." Cai Pengxi said.

The matter of the secret treasury has come to an end for the time being, and everyone's suspenseful hearts have basically been let go. For a while, sudden fatigue and fatigue hit, and yawns kept coming and going.

"Well, let's go to the hotel to rest first. We'll continue the discussion tomorrow when we have enough rest." Xiao Ying suggested.

Yu Yao looked at Xiao Ying, hesitant to speak.

"It's absolutely fine to put things here! Before I leave, I'll set up another induction formation." Xiao Ying said immediately, "If I'm not completely sure, I will definitely keep the guards."

Everyone didn't say anything more.

Leaving Xiao Ying's courtyard, the group of six people did not go to the center of Yuzhou, but found the best hotel in the center of the county reform area, and took a rest.

While on the way, Yu Yao casually asked Xiao Ying, "You are the only one here, why did you get a big round table and so many chairs like meeting guests?"

"The table is useful, buy one get eight free."

Yu Yao smiled, "It really came in handy once."

Both are very natural.This is a question based on a high level of trust; because of this kind of question, if there is a slight suspicion, suspicion may also arise.

In the hotel room, Yu Yao took a shower and soon fell asleep.When I woke up, it was already high in the sun.

Lying halfway down, Yu Yao picked up the phone, thought for a while, and called Teng Kunwu first.

Teng Kunwu is still in the recuperation stage, and it is not time to collect.

"Wait a minute." Teng Kunwu picked it up quickly, but said this first.

After more than ten seconds, Teng Kunwu said, "I was in the child's ward just now."

"Is the child okay?" Yu Yao asked.

"It's relatively stable, and it's okay when it's time to collect. You say what you want." Teng Kunwu's mental state is not bad.

"Okay, I won't say anything else." Yu Yao paused, "Old man, it's done!"

"So fast?!" Teng Kunwu was surprised.

"Yes, the heavy weapon in Jinzikou is just as you said, it's all put away! Don't worry!"

"What else? Tell me!"

Yu Yao gave a brief introduction. Although Teng Kunwu was involved in this matter now, he was still excited and sighed repeatedly.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes, Yu Yao was afraid of disturbing Teng Kunwu, so he hung up the phone at the right time.

In less than 2 minutes, Teng Kunwu called back again, "I was so excited just now, I forgot to mention something important; last night, someone came to me!"
