The Black Card

When Huo Chengdong came to the basement, Shi Lei discovered that Huo Chengdong's house seemed small, but the space inside was actually extremely scary.

The house is built on a gentle hillside and covers an area of ​​only three or four hundred square meters. The two-story layout looks like it should only have a maximum of seven or eight hundred square meters of internal space.

However, Huo Chengdong hollowed out the entire ground floor of the house. The ground floor alone reached four full floors, with a total depth of more than ten meters, almost using the entire depth of the hillside.

Huo Chengdong looked at Shi Lei's expression of surprise and explained with a smile: "I bought the entire hillside that year, and after several changes of land use, I finally built my ideal house. Of course, I am not a mole It ’s just my collections that need a more stable environment for collection, whether it is dry humidity or temperature, they need to be stable. There is nothing more stable than underground space, even those high-tech means, Wet constant oxygen, but there are always moments such as accidental power outages. Four layers, more than ten meters, have been dug. The temperature here naturally stays around 20 degrees throughout the year, and the humidity is basically constant. "

Shi Lei nodded with emotion and said, "Others are building houses. You are digging an air-raid shelter."

On the fourth floor, Huo Chengdong opened a heavy iron door and made a gesture of please, saying, "Mr. Shi, please come in."

After entering the door, Huo Chengdong carefully returned to close the door, locked it, and said to Shi Lei, "This is all my collection."

Shi Lei looked at it, but the situation in Bai Lao's private museum is almost the same. All the calligraphy and painting are inlaid in a flat glass box with the painting axis, while other types of antiques are shrouded in glass containers.

"What are you interested in? You can tell me, I'll take it out and show it to you. Collecting is not easy. Just these auxiliary equipment, investment is a lot of expense." Huo Chengdong said aside While wearing a pair of suede gloves, handed Shi Lei a pair.

Shi Lei took the glove in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to put it on. He didn't have much interest in these things. His purpose was nothing more than the porcelain vase of the Ming and Wanli years.

However, even if he is not interested, Shi Lei is amazed at the collection here, because it is a private collection, Huo Chengdong doesn't have any thoughts for people to look at, so the objects are placed more closely, not as unevenly as Bai Lao's.

Shi Lei took a look around, feeling a lot, but still not interested.

Huo Chengdong looked at Shi Lei's performance, shook his head slightly, and seemed to feel that Shi Lei had insufficient knowledge of antiques and lacked the ability to truly appreciate them.

This is actually why Huo Chengdong was obviously ready to transfer the porcelain bottle, but had to let Shi Lei find one of the three bottles to really sell it to him. Huo Chengdong wanted to see how Shi Lei rashly ran to Sydney to find him, just for such a porcelain bottle, how much did he know about such things.

To a certain extent, it is quite possible to discern the true and false of those words just now.

In Huo Chengdong's view, only those who truly like all of this can truly have the grandfather's heart, otherwise, the value of millions and millions of objects, even if they are rich again, if no interest is involved, who can easily How about giving it away?

Contacting Bai Lao, of course, Huo Chengdong would not tell him directly about Shi Lei. He just pretended to listen to a friend and said that Bai Lao had something in the Ming Wanli years, and he said that he wanted to see. Before answering Huo Chengdong's phone call, Bai Lao already knew about Huo Chengdong's collection. He is an enthusiast of antiques, calligraphy and painting, and it is quite easy to communicate. Bai Lao told Huo Chengdong that he did not have the porcelain during the Ming Wanli period, I am afraid he would be disappointed.

With this, Huo Chengdong is actually enough to believe Shi Lei's words. However, at the same time, he did not believe Shi Lei's words. What he did not believe was not that Shi Lei had not told the truth, but that Shi Lei had concealed something.

In Huo Chengdong's view, what Shi Lei is most likely to conceal is his true purpose, that is, the part that can be linked to interests.

The most basic element of a collector is that he must have money, otherwise he will not be able to collect what is really valuable. In today's society, a person who has enough free money to play collection must be a powerful man. Although Shi Lei's behavior is not bad, but at this level of Huo Chengdong, one can see at a glance that Shi Lei is at best the level of well-being of the well-off. And such people pay millions or even tens of millions of dollars, just to fill a gap in the elderly's collection, which is incredible.

Therefore, Huo Chengdong always felt that Shi Lei had some plans. He believed that Shi Lei could send such valuable porcelain, and he would definitely get a richer return from Bai Lao. Unless, he is also a fan of antiques and calligraphy.

As a result, such a test appeared, but Shi Lei was obviously disappointed. From the perspective of Shi Lei's performance, I was afraid that Shi Lei had never been exposed to these things.

Huo Chengdong sighed and said, "Young man, if you tell me from the beginning, I may not be able to complete you. After all, things are dead, people are alive. Although you have a purpose of Chinba But it will not affect the result of a spring and white snow. But you have concealed something from me, and I can only say sorry. "

Seeing Shi Lei was really not interested, Huo Chengdong said: "Mr. Shi doesn't seem to have much interest in these. Then, you can only see your eyesight. Three porcelain bottles, you can find out the truth, we will Keep talking. If you can't find it, then I'm sorry. "

Shi Lei nodded with a smile, and then saw Huo Chengdong turn around and opened a cabinet, holding one of the brocade boxes with both hands. Presumably, there was one of the three porcelain bottles.

Taking advantage of Huo Chengdong's time to take the porcelain bottle, Shi Lei also opened the phone, opened the identification card, and chose to use its functions.

With the appearance of a faint -1 on the identification card page on the mobile phone screen, Shi Lei knew that ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ has the ability to identify all antiques.

He looked up, and there was a dim light on the glass boxes, calligraphy and paintings in the vessels or antiques. Glow colors vary, and shades differ. Although it is only a faint light, Shi Lei's mind can immediately correspond to the corresponding age.

Cyan represents two weeks, and green represents two weeks before the Qin Dynasty. The depth of the glory represents the value of its artistic value or collection value.

Almost only at a glance, Shi Lei found that among these objects collected by Huo Chengdong, there were actually some fakes copied by posterity.

When the first porcelain bottle was placed on a wooden table lined with a thin layer of flannel, Shi Lei looked at it. The appearance of this porcelain bottle was no bright, which was undoubtedly a fake.

Huo Chengdong quickly put the second porcelain bottle on the table. Shi Lei glanced at it. The light was pale white. The feedback in Shi Lei's mind was from the Republic of China, and the extremely light luster also meant that this porcelain bottle The value is very limited.

Huo Chengdong smiled and said, "Mr. Shi looked first. The third porcelain bottle is relatively high. I have to take a ladder."
