Chapter 55 Three pieces of porcelain worth 20 million

The two vases and one porcelain plate were dug out by Boss Jing himself from tens of meters of sea water. Of course, Li Shu can conclude that they are not fakes made in recent years.

But what Li Shu didn't expect was that the appraiser Yin Sumei admitted it very simply, and said directly: "I'm sorry, I used the video to appraise the porcelain before, and there was a deviation. As soon as I touched the surface of the porcelain, I knew it was absolutely true. Not fake.

Only after decades or even hundreds of years of erosion by seawater can the surface of this porcelain form this faint graininess. I hereby apologize to you and hope that my negligence has not caused you any trouble. "

The old lady Yin Sumei apologized to Li Shu face-to-face, and Li Shu's face froze, and said: "Ahem, it's okay, it's easy to make mistakes in video and picture identification, please continue to help me identify these three things. In fact, I mainly want to know how much these three pieces of porcelain are worth... Cough, of course I also want to know more about their exquisiteness, I still love to learn."

Lawyer Du Dabing, who was standing next to Li Shu, held back his smile, and said in his heart: "Yin Sumei must think that I told Li Shu the results of her previous appraisal, and she thought that Li Shu would be worried because the porcelain was identified as fake. In fact, I She didn't tell Li Shu about her previous identification results at all, so there was no "trouble" for Li Shu."

"No problem." Yin Sumei agreed: "This "Chenghua Jiaotu Narrow Mouth Bottle" is indeed from the Chenghua period. Look at its glaze..."

Then Yin Sumei gave Li Shuxiu a piece of professional knowledge, from the glaze to the bottle body design, from the use to the literature that once recorded this kind of bottle, citing classics, interspersed with similar porcelain vases in the Tang Dynasty, and the comparison of similar porcelain vases in the Song Dynasty , What are the differences and similarities between them, how to identify fake bottles, etc.

Yin Sumei's apprentice "Li Kun" bent down to listen, the expression on his face was really mesmerized, as if the problem that had troubled him for many years was solved, his face flushed with excitement, he asked questions from time to time, and he could still talk to him. His teacher Yin Sumei discusses two moves.

Li Shu's frown became deeper and deeper. He remembered that he skipped two advanced mathematics classes in college, and when he went to the advanced mathematics class again, he found that he was listening to heavenly scriptures, but now it feels more difficult to listen to these antique appraisal knowledge than it was then !

Lawyer Du Dabing, on the other hand, is much "smarter", so instead of asking for trouble, he just read the latest version of the law leisurely.

"This old lady is so powerful..." Li Shu's mind was full of thoughts for a moment: "But, what if this old lady makes fake antiques? She knows the flaws of ordinary fake antiques, and also knows how to fire all kinds of porcelain. Craftsmanship, I am afraid that the fake antiques she made are enough to be confused with real ones."

Li Shu's idea is somewhat "evil", but he feels that his idea has some truth. Some masters of antique counterfeiting may be masters of antique appraisal.

"These two porcelain vases and one porcelain plate are from the Chenghua period. They are exquisitely made and well preserved. According to the valuation...the porcelain vase is about 8 million ringgits, and the porcelain plate is about 4 million ringgits."

When Li Shu heard the price, his pupils shrank in shock, followed by ecstasy. The price far exceeded his expectations.

But after he was overjoyed, he wondered again: "Is this price accurate? The quantity of salvaged porcelain is large and low-quality, how can there be such a high price?"

Yin Sumei felt that her professional knowledge was being questioned, and the corners of her mouth were bent down instantly, showing a hint of displeasure. She didn't want to raise her head to talk to Li Shu, so she waved her hand to let Li Shu sit opposite her:

"Young people, they are also fishing porcelain from the sea, but they are also distributed in different grades~ In fact, even if it is an ordinary small folk kiln, it has a certain chance of producing exquisite porcelain that is not inferior to the official kiln. Ah, although the probability is very small, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

"You mean..."

"That's right, although your two vases and a porcelain plate are not the best, they are still top-grade, and the stock is very rare, so the price has gone up." Yin Sumei took a sip of tea and continued: "I'm engaged in Porcelain has been appraised for many years, but I know some collectors who are quite wealthy, if you plan to sell these three pieces of porcelain, I can help you contact the buyer."

"Thank you so much." Li Shu expressed his sincere thanks with a happy face.

He was still worrying about where to get money to buy fry to raise fish, but he didn't expect that three pieces of porcelain would solve his urgent needs.

"I really am a person with great luck. If this is in the novel, I will definitely be the protagonist!" Li Shu thought.

Yin Sumei didn't back down either, she took out her mobile phone and called the buyer. She pronounced very quickly, Singaporean Cantonese that Li Shu couldn't understand mixed with awkward English, but one of the words caught Li Shu by surprise. It's just --- picking up the leak.

He was sure that his ears heard correctly, Yin Sumei did say the word "picking up leaks".

"I..." Li Shu raised his brows and said in his heart, "Are you so arrogant? In front of me, the master of porcelain, you want to pick up my fault?"

Yin Sumei's apprentice "Li Kun" sitting next to him seemed to see that Li Shu's expression was wrong, and even spoke for his master: "Mr. Li, I just picked up a small leak, and I want the other party to come and buy your porcelain happily. Always let people earn some money. Even if you sell it yourself, it will take more time, but it is not certain whether you will be able to sell at a higher price in the end.”

Yin Sumei had finished making the phone call, and she looked directly into Li Shu's eyes: "The total price of the three pieces of porcelain is 20 million ringgit, will you sell it? If you don't sell it, I can call my friend to go back in time, save money." It's a waste of time."

Li Shu gritted his teeth: "Sell!"

Soon, Li Shu looked downstairs from the window and saw a red Maybach slowly parked downstairs under the protection of two bodyguard cars. When Li Shu saw the buyer, he smiled wryly: "There is really a Fate, but I should have guessed it was hers."

Soon, there was the clicking sound of high heels stepping on the floor outside the door, and then the door was pushed open with a creak.

"Li Shu, it's you!?"

Li Shu also stood up and said with a smile: "President Vecna, it's really fate, we meet again."

The buyer of the porcelain is "Vecna", the owner of the Spink Clubhouse. She is also a jeweler. Li Shu has sold pearls to her many times and even soaked her feet in the clubhouse opened by her.

"Actually, when I saw the pearl necklace on appraiser Yin Sumei's neck, I guessed that someone knew her." Li Shu smiled and invited Vecna ​​to take a seat.

Vecna ​​is a typical high-caste Indian woman, with a high nose bridge, big eyes, tall and slightly fat, and she always reveals an arrogance similar to "my mother is an aristocrat, and you are all untouchables".

The arrogance in their bones was passed down from generation to generation in their family, maybe she didn't even realize it, maybe she still felt that she didn't have the slightest arrogance.
