Shenhao Starts With Antique Treasure Appraisal

After tasting the painting, Qin Mingyang was in great spirits and put on his work clothes.

There is an old-fashioned wooden basin stand on one side of the house, and a very delicate copper basin is placed on the basin rack.

Li Tianming looked at it casually. Judging from the patterns on the copper basin, its value could definitely reach six figures.

Ronaldinho quickly poured warm water into it.

I saw Qin Mingyang washing his hands very focused in the copper basin, his movements were slow and rhythmic, as if he was performing some kind of ritual.

Qin Mingyang wiped his hands carefully, then walked to the workbench and carefully turned the entire painting over to the back.

Luo Hope immediately handed over the brown brush.

Although Li Tianming doesn't know how to frame it specifically, he has a master's level knowledge of antiques, so he also has a general understanding of the basic process.

Qin Mingyang is worthy of being a master in the world of decoration. Just looking at the precision of his movements, you can tell that the "Eight Nine Three" technique is extraordinary.

Moreover, Qin Mingyang's mounting speed was very fast, and the damage to the original paintings was almost non-existent.

Even so, the preliminary framing work took all night.

Tang Xiaoyu had no intention of leaving, so Li Tianming naturally stayed with him.

The next day, when the sky was dark, Qin Mingyang completed the mounting, and the rest was the subsequent drying and cutting.

Qin Mingyang had several safes and asked Tang Xiaoyu to put the paintings in them personally and then set the password.

In this way, it is possible to avoid problems in the painting that neither party can explain clearly.

Of course, as a famous man, Qin Mingyang would definitely not be able to do those sneaky things, but in order to show his aboveboard demeanor, he still insisted on doing so.

Qin Mingyang said while smoking a cigarette: "Xiaoyu, I'll pick it up in three days."

"Okay, Teacher Qin, thank you."

"By the way, you'd better take this kid with you later."

"That kid" in Qin Mingyang's mouth naturally refers to Li Tianming.

Tang Xiaoyu looked at Li Tianming, pursed her lips and smiled: "I understand."

The two got into the Porsche, and Tang Xiaoyu asked: "Are you tired? Is this considered fatigue driving?"

Li Tianming smiled lightly: "No, don't worry, I'm not that squeamish."

Speaking of which, Tang Xiaoyu is quite capable of staying up late, and she still looks energetic.

Li Tianming added: "By the way, stay up late less often, it's not good for your health."

"I understand, today is not a special situation."

Tang Xiaoyu's tone when talking to Li Tianming became much softer without realizing it, and she no longer felt the coldness at all.

"Where to take you?"

"Go back to school."

"School?" It took Li Tianming a long time to realize that he was referring to Binzhou University, which is also his own alma mater.

"You live in the school dormitory?"

Tang Xiaoyu said "hmm" and didn't say much.

Li Tianming was extremely surprised. He thought that with Tang Xiaoyu's conditions, even if he didn't live at home, he should at least live in a high-end apartment or something like that.

However, it’s right to think about it in retrospect. No matter how good your family background is or how rich your family is, if you have a father who is the secretary of the municipal party committee, you still have to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, you will be easily spotted.

Binzhou University, Li Tianming is certainly familiar with it.

It was early in the morning, and there was no traffic jam. Li Tianming reached the school gate with a few clicks of the accelerator.

"Do you want me to send you downstairs to the dormitory?"

Tang Xiaoyu smiled: "No need, your car is too eye-catching."

With that said, Tang Xiaoyu opened the door and got out of the car, waved to Li Tianming and entered the university campus.

Li Tianming drove back to Oriental Huating. As soon as he entered the door, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Fortunately, Li Tianming is in his twenties and has relatively high energy, so he quickly recovered from the fatigue of staying up late.

If you were in your thirties, it would take at least two days to recover.

However, the problem before Li Tianming is really urgent.

The weekend is Tang Kangshi's birthday. Since Li Tianming knows about it, he has to prepare gifts.

Tang Kangshi was no better than others. He was a master in the antique world and a university professor. He was really unable to give ordinary gifts.

After much deliberation, Li Tianming decided that he had to give away his old items and find the right place for them.

However, Li Tianming is a little embarrassed now.

He has sold a few antiques and has a net worth of over 100 million, but has almost no collection.

You can't give the unknown dagger found in the ancient tomb to his old man, right?

Li Tianming went to Xinglong Antique Market twice more and didn't pick anything that looked like his colleague.

But Li Tianming also gained a little bit. He learned about the black market from a mouth toy vendor.

The so-called black market is naturally a trading place that only true insiders will know.

This kind of market is relatively secretive and not subject to government supervision.

As far as Li Tianming knows, many tomb robbers and antique smugglers sell their stolen goods mostly in the black market...

In other words, the chances of finding truly old items on the black market are much greater than in the general antique market.

Since you can't find good stuff in the regular market, go to the black market.

However, the black market for antiques trading in Binzhou is not in the urban area, but in a small town in the countryside called Junlin Town.

According to legend, an emperor of the Ming Dynasty stayed here for two days when he went to inspect the countryside, hence the name.

As for which emperor, no one can tell clearly.

The antique black market is only open in the morning.

Li Tianming drove for nearly an hour early in the morning before arriving at the black market in Junlin Town.

This black market is bigger than Li Tianming imagined, almost occupying the entire street.

There are almost all vendors here, and the items sold are also very mixed.

Not to mention porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade, and all kinds of strange stone ornaments, there are even some heavy bronze items, which are banned items in the country.

Li Tianming bought a meat bun for breakfast on the side of the road. He walked around and looked at it, and there were indeed some good-looking items.

But it was not suitable as a birthday gift, and the items themselves were not valuable enough, so there was almost no profit from reselling them, and Li Tianming was too lazy to buy them.

At this time, a street vendor saw that Li Tianming was taking it seriously and said, "Young man, I see you are knowledgeable. Are you interested in this?"

The vendor was a man in his forties. He took out a piece of porcelain from the pocket behind him.

The overall shape of the porcelain is a typical plate 4.8 pieces, bright green in color and very beautiful.

Li Tianming knew at a glance that it was enamel.

Enamel began in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. It has exquisite craftsmanship and high artistic value. It is the best among the best porcelains.

Because of its beautiful and exquisite appearance, there is no doubt that any collector likes enamel very much.

If this enamel porcelain plate is genuine, it would indeed be a suitable birthday gift for Tang Kangshi.

Li Tianming took the enamel porcelain plate in his hand and turned it over to look at it carefully.

The buyers and sellers nearby were also attracted by this exquisite and vivid porcelain, and they pointed at it one after another.

"Boss, this enamel color is pretty good. Why didn't you take it out just now?"

"Young man, do you want to buy it? If not, let me take a look."

"I don't think this one is cheap. It doesn't look like new."
