Chapter 175 Fudge or an expert?
If you don’t get drunk, everyone will be drunk. Cheng Sitian’s alcohol content is not large, and she is excited again. She doesn’t need to persuade her to pour glasses into her stomach. After a while, her eyes are already blurred.
"Old, stop drinking it! I'll ask you something. I've just talked for a long time and forgot to ask you, if Li Yi's ambergris can be sold for, how much can it cost?"
"How much is it? You, Zhang Jun, have you played antiques all your life, don't you know? Can this thing be measured by money?"
"Don't tell me, one million or two million? Give me a number!"
Cheng Sitian laughed out loudly, which scared Tan Moxuan to jump up and cover his mouth.
"This piece of fragrance is a spice that has a scent of flavors! If you really want to ask how much it is worth, I tell you, it is bullshit and worthless!"
When Li Yi and the other two heard it, they all seemed to have been touched by acupuncture points. In addition to their eyes, they could move, and only the divine beasts running wildly in their hearts were left.
Is this really drunk? I was so proud of this just now. What kind of world is rare and what kind of incense and history are famous... How old is it that it is, why is it worthless again?
"But the most important thing about this kind of thing depends on whether you meet the right person! If you encounter this spice that is as savory as I am, it is a priceless treasure!"
He looked at the three little friends who were stunned with drunken eyes. Cheng Sitian smiled and gave another cup with a "squeak".
"I can make all the incense believers in the world worship it, it is a holy thing..."
With a "bang", he kissed the table heavily on his forehead, and when he looked again, he was already asleep.
The remaining three people looked at each other. What should I say? This guy is going to fool the whole world with this piece of ambergris!
"You are thinking too much. Lao Cheng is an expert with domestic incense culture. He won't do this. He has drunk too much!"
"Expert? I think it's because of the word "expert"! Think about it, a well-known expert! If you don't make any amazing noises from time to time, can you still call an expert? By the way, Li Yi, where did you get this ambergris?"
"I collected it when shoveling the ground."
"Didn't you ask you this? Do you know where it came from? I've been in a closed environment for two or three hundred years. Damn! Don't tell me that this thing was dug out of the tomb!"
Li Yi scratched his head. If the family hadn't lie, this thing was really dug out of the dead grave, and it was very close to the tomb owner's body!
After hearing Li Yi's words, Zhang Jun remembered that he had just smelled it for a long time, and Cheng Sitian even shaved a little and stuffed it into his mouth. He couldn't help but burst into his abdomen, covering his mouth and running towards the bathroom!
Most of the porcelains left by Tan Moxuan and Li Yi, who were staring at you, were dug out from the dead, right? As for?
"Different. Different, that's porcelain. You're spices! I'll go! I believe this is the only piece of the best fragrance in the world. It not only has the fragrance of Qinan, but also... Forget it, let's not talk about it, drink!"
When Zhang Jun came back from the bathroom, he saw the expressions of the two of them. He shook his head and explained.
"You're vomiting and still drinking?"
"That's disgusting! It's okay, drink some wine to disinfect it. Come on, do it!"
Li Yi drank a glass of wine in a daze and said while thinking:
"I remember the man told me that this spice was placed in a very gorgeous box, and when I found it, it was placed next to the head of the tomb owner... If Brother Cheng said correctly, I think the box should be made of Qinan Xiangmu, a Qinan Xiangmu, which should be a certain isolation function. So, Brother Zhang, you don't have to think in that direction."
Zhang Jun's eyes lit up. Where is the box? That is the real treasure! Maybe one gram costs tens of thousands!
"Drink your bar! Which box or ambergris is closer to the dead? If you dislike ambergris being contaminated, don't dislike nanmu? Hey, it's really..."
"So what's wrong? Can this thing be compared with wood? I'll tell you..."
The two bad friends saw Cheng Sitian sleeping soundly on the table. They ignored him and started to talk about the strange things they had encountered over the years while drinking. Li Yi, the little white boy, was stunned. These are all made up? Look at him, he fell down there when he was drunk, and no one disturbed him, but you two, this is a bad wine!
After about an hour of hard work, Tan Moxuan and Zhang Jun put Cheng Sitian on the taxi, one left and one right, and ran away.
Back at Yanyuan, he threw ambergris onto the desk casually. Li Yi moved out a pile of information given to him by his two masters and started reading it. This experience told him that if he had no spiritual cards and only talked about his true level, he would be nothing!
As an appraiser in a pawn shop, receiving goods is an inevitable checkpoint, which involves several key issues. The level of identification is the basis and the market price is the key, but there is another very important thing, which is to identify the origin of the object as much as possible.
This is easy to understand. You think, if you accidentally accept something that is prohibited by the state by the state, it is okay to deal with it secretly. But if you are unlucky, you will receive some stolen goods, especially those involved in big cases, then, not to mention individuals, even companies will have to follow them!
Therefore, regular listed companies such as auction houses and pawn shops will have a list of prohibited items, which records all the things that have been wanted for cultural relics since the founding of the country, as well as the expensive stolen goods of all sizes announced in various cases, which cannot be touched.
After more than 60 years of founding the country, you can just talk about how much this thing is! Li Yi didn’t know before, but now he knows it. Just by stacking up the relevant information in this part, he can catch up with the height of a two or three-year-old child!
Not only do you have to look at these things, but you should also remember them in particular. Even if you can't remember them, you must have an impression. Otherwise, you will check every time you see something suspected, and you will be tired and will wait for the customer to run away.
In addition to the common fake techniques used in several antiques, the characteristics of imitations, as well as relevant information from famous imitations by famous imitators throughout the dynasties and some famous imitations, you should just remember how much you need to remember.
Damn, it seems that this job is just like a donkey poop lump outside!
Unlike Li Yi, Tan Moxuan and the others did not have this kind of trouble, because they started to remember these things since they started to come into contact with this industry. Although they may not be as prepared as the pawn shop, at most they would just update them in time.
In fact, there are many lessons that Li Yi needs to make up. He wants to write down everything that others have gradually mastered over decades. Even if he really has a scanner and a computer, it will take a lot of time. What's more, others often only study one direction for decades. He wants to dabble in any of them. Who is so greedy, who is not tired?
Fortunately, he did not make any mistakes in the identification results. With the guaranteed spirit card, psychological pressure and other things do not exist for him at all. In addition, he never forgets it and after this period of contact, he really fell in love with this industry, so he didn't seem to feel too tired. On the contrary, he often found a lot of fun in it.
It can be said that after several months of reserves, his appraiser journey has gradually gotten on the right track!
While reading a book and complaining, Li Yi gradually sank in. It was not until a phone call woke him up that he suddenly realized that it was already past the time for supper!
The caller was Hu Zhiyuan. This time, the old man seemed to have drunk some wine, but he didn't let go when he held the phone. Li Yi, who had spoken for more than half a time, was almost sweating profusely.
The old man didn't say anything else. The whole phone call was talking about one thing, that is, Li Yi's future development issues in calligraphy and painting.
From a certain perspective, carving and calligraphy and painting should be one side of one body, and the two are closely related.
If you are not good at calligraphy and painting, no matter how skilled the carving skills are, you can only become a craftsman. Because you are carving patterns designed by others, even if you are able to give the soul of the carving, it is only half of the soul, because your understanding of the structure, lines, expressiveness, etc. of the work is still at the stage of following the map.
But calligraphy, as the two masters judged last time when he was at Zhong Haoqing's house, is now taking the accumulation of carving exercises, the bonus of strong wrist control, and the reason for rapid progress is that the level before was too low, and now it is a compensatory increase. He is far from being able to control the pen power based on muscle memory alone.
What's more, I have started practicing calligraphy, what about painting? If I can't master the essence of composition, layout, lines, and expressiveness, and want to reach the level of Hu Zhiyuan or even surpass Hu Zhiyuan in carving, it would be a dream!
In terms of identification, no matter how much he dabbled in and had a spiritual card as a base, the rest was nothing more than reading and recording. But what about calligraphy and painting? Every stroke and every article were trained through hard work. If he wanted to develop comprehensively like the identification, he was undoubtedly looking for death! And even if he really wanted to die, he would definitely not be able to practice it!
You can copy famous works of famous masters from all dynasties at will, or you can dabble in all aspects of interest, but everything must have a premise, that is, you must set a main development direction. Only by ensuring that this main development direction is OK can you seek the so-called learning from other things and one can do more.
These are all water grinding time, and even if there are shortcuts, the time is limited.
Li Yi originally just understood these principles a little, but today Hu Zhiyuan's sudden call made it clearer.
Dreams are pure, but reality is very lewd!
Take your time, fortunately I'm young, I have time...
A busy day passed and a new day came. When Li Yi opened his eyes, he smiled bitterly. Today, there was still a drink to drink! (To be continued.)
