Chapter 336 Intuition
Book town, also known as paperweight, is used to press books or paper to keep the writing and paper smooth.
Li Yang has a TV series called "Li Wei Become an Official". There is a story in it that impressed him very deeply. After the gangster Li Wei became an official, he had to investigate a group of corrupt officials in Jiangnan, and first he focused on his new official predecessor.
The ex had a book town in his hand, and there was a very loud sentence carved on it, saying, "The Analects of Confucius are all from me." Li Wei slowly touched the clues from this point, and finally broke the biggest greedy case in Jiangnan that was shocking during the Yongzheng period.
There are many different styles of Shuzhen. The most common ones are rectangular and oblong. In addition, there are Shuzhen with figures or animals. The materials are also different. Generally, wood or stone, the better ones include bronze or other metals, and the most expensive ones include jade and field yellow or amber.
The style of Li Yang's Shuzhen is a slightly tilted vertical square. It is probably because the style of Tianhuang is specially processed. Such large pieces of Tianhuang are rare. If you waste a lot of raw materials, even ancient craftsmen will feel distressed.
In addition to the orchid and bamboo patterns on the Li Yang Book Town, there is also a bat carved on both sides. The carvings are very exquisite. After hundreds of years, they have been buried for such a long time. After washing them, they still look lifelike.
"If this piece is really a paperweight used by Heshen, it will be of great value!"
Chang Sheng's eyes were full of praise, and Chang Feng nodded, and couldn't help but look up at Li Yang, both envious and jealous. He didn't expect that Li Yang, the seemingly inconspicuous stone, was actually a fine book town carved by Tianhuang.
Moreover, Li Yang said before that he came back when he went to the countryside, but this time Li Yang got a big gap.
"Li, Brother Li, I, Lao Bai, have completely convinced you!"
Bai Ming suddenly sighed heavily, and his expression was a little complicated when he looked at Li Yang.
This was the second time Bai Ming watched Li Yang pick up a bargain. The first time was in Hong Kong, and it would be fine if they didn't recognize the Wanli big jar. This time Li Yang was even more evil than last time. He could turn from a broken stone picked up at random from an abandoned room into Tianhuangshu Town. I really don't know what else Li Yang could not do.
"This thing has been painted for too long. After a while of verification, if it is confirmed that it has been used by Heshen, its value will increase a lot!"
Mr. Mao also said something, and Boss Niu nodded violently. Boss Niu had no other thoughts except envying.
"Teacher Mao, I believe this thing is definitely Heshen's!"
Chang Sheng looked at Li Yang and suddenly said, Old Mao was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded. Chang Sheng believed that he and Bai Ming also believed that the paint had been applied for decades and was discarded as rotten stones. It was impossible to say that it was imitated by later generations.
Besides, even if someone imitates it, he will not use such real Tianhuang to imitate it. It has no meaning and it is even more impossible for Li Yang to charge it for a bargain price of 1,000 yuan.
At this time, Mr. Mao and the others forgot that at first they thought that Li Yang was spending this money.
"I think it should be Heshen's. Liu Gang, go back and ask about the situation of the family. If you have the opportunity, please help them. There is no need to give money, and it will cause them trouble!"
Li Yang turned his head and said to Liu Gang. Liu Gang nodded immediately. It was very easy for him to find out the identity of the family.
Old Mao and Bai Ming looked at each other, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
There are not many people who can still think of selling the missed money after picking up the gap. Moreover, Li Yang's method of handling it is very suitable for them. No matter how much money you give, it is meaningless. There is no such rule in the antique shop. If you really give a lot of money, it may not be a good thing for ordinary rural families.
But if you have the opportunity to help them, it will be different. If the family really encounters any major event or crisis, Li Yang's help is more useful than how much money is given. No matter how much money a noble person spends, he cannot buy back the help.
In the hearts of the two of them, Li Yang has also become a "noble man".
Chang Sheng nodded gently, with a bright smile on his face and said, "Mr. Li, your Tianhuang is really good. I wonder if you are willing to transfer it? I am willing to bid 30 million to buy your Tianhuang paperweight!"
"Thirty million!"
Bai Ming, Mr. Mao and Boss Niu all seemed very surprised, but that was all. For Bai Ming and Mr. Mao, Li Yang's things were sold at a sky-high price of over 500 million, and 30 million was nothing.
Boss Niu also saw with his own eyes that Li Yang had developed a sky-high jade such as ice-type lemon yellow, and the value of that piece of lemon yellow is no worse than that of this piece of Tianhuangshi.
Thirty million, but it is definitely a very real price, and it is based on the items Heshen used.
This item may be worth a little higher when it is auctioned, but it is difficult to exceed 40 million. The auction can have high handling fees and transaction fees, and high taxes. I don’t know if it is 30 million for the one I get, and I still have to wait for a long time.
It can also be said that the price of Changsheng is very generous.
Li Yang was very satisfied, but finally shook his head gently and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chang, I like this paperweight very much, and I have no plans to take action for the time being!"
Originally, Li Yang's estimate of this Tianhuang stone was only about 15 million. The value of Tianhuang itself, plus the value of cultural relics and carvings, was very suitable, but once it was linked to celebrities, it was different, and the price was immediately doubled.
"That's a pity!"
Chang Sheng shook his head regretfully. After Li Yang refused, he did not continue to ask. He liked this thing, but it was not necessary to get it. It was the best to get it. If you can't get it, it would be fine if you can't receive it.
"A thousand yuan turns into 30 million in a blink of an eye. Brother Li, you are a big leak that has increased by 30,000 times!"
Bai Ming said again, "When he spoke, he did not hide the jealousy on his face. Last time, someone was willing to pay 60 million for the Wanli big jar, and someone in Tianhuangshu Town offered 30 million. The two things alone were worth nearly 100 million yuan."
What made Bai Ming the most depressed was that these two things were all the vulnerabilities that Li Yang picked up in front of him. Bai Ming had never encountered such a thing in his life.
"Li Yang, how did you know that the abandoned little house has this thing?"
Old Mao blinked and asked Li Yang. Bai Ming immediately turned his eyes to Li Yang. He had this doubt from the beginning, but he didn't have the nerve to ask.
Last time Li Yang picked up a bargain, he could explain it by the source of Li Yang's recognition of the Wanli big jar, but this time it seemed too weird. Not to mention that this stone was in an abandoned house, even if it was placed in front of them, no one thought that it would be a treasure.
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, finally shook his head, and said slowly: "I don't know either. When I entered the yard, I just felt that something attracted me to the small house. After I entered, I found this stone at a glance. At that time, I only felt that the stone was a little different, so I took it out!"
"This is intuition. Brother Li, are you being led by intuition?"
Bai Ming immediately followed, and Li Yang nodded silently. Surprisingly, everyone present was not surprised, and even nodded in agreement.
Chang Sheng sighed softly and said, "Mr. Li is lucky. It seems that this thing is indeed destined to be with Mr. Li!"
In fact, people in the antique industry believe in feeling. In fact, there are really many people who have picked up leaks through their feelings. Mr. Mao has had such personal experiences, so everyone did not feel any surprises.
Just like the ice jade that Sima Lin devised when he was in Pingzhou, it is also the effect of intuition, which is a reason for the inability to explain clearly.
Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had heard other experts mention this statement at the exchange meeting. This time he really had no way to explain it, so he used it to push it. Unexpectedly, the effect was pretty good. In the future, if you encounter something that is difficult to explain, you can use this method again.
"Mr. Li, I heard that you are Yu Sheng. Your talent in gambling stones is better than that of Nan Jade King Shao Yuqiang. Can you also comment on this piece of wool that you gave us?"
Chang Feng suddenly said something, and Chang Sheng frowned, not stopping him this time.
Young people all have a competitive temperament. Seeing Li Yang showing off like this, it is normal for Chang Feng to have dissatisfaction. As long as it is within the control range, it is a good thing for young people to fight.
However, Chang Sheng did not think that Chang Feng could stump Li Yang. It would be better to teach Chang Feng a lesson through Li Yang. This cousin has been favored at home since he was a child and has never encountered any setbacks.
"All right!"
Li Yang looked at Chang Feng for a few seconds and finally nodded helplessly. Bai Ming and Mao Lao looked at Li Yang with interest. When they met, Li Yang had already made a very famous reputation in the jade industry, but he had never seen Li Yang's ability in this area with his own eyes.
"please!"
Chang Feng made way out of the position, and Li Yang was not polite, so he walked straight to the stone machine.
Boss Niu followed with interest, even Chang Sheng and the unknown man in his forties. Everyone's interest in Li Yang's comments on a gambling stone was even greater than that of Tian Huangshu Town that had just been washed out.
The wool material in front of me is not big, weighing only seven or eight kilograms. It currently has a palm-sized surface, and one-fifth of the skin has been cut open on one side. The edge of the skin is on the window.
From these we can see that the gambling stone has just been solved for a while, and it is rubbed first and then cut. The technique is very old and the level of cutting stones is very high. No jade is wasted on the cut skin.
"From the skin, this is the old material of the black sand-skin shell of Pagan old farm!" Li Yang said first, then stepped forward and loosened the fixed gambling stone, pointed to the back and said: "The black sand-skin shell is very good, but this small strand affects its value. Fortunately, there are some good python patterns and pine flowers on this piece of wool. Overall, this is still an old wool with very good gambling properties!"
Chang Feng curled his lips again. Li Yang said something that anyone who understands can say. If he wants to say something, he can say much better than Li Yang.
