Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

"I took a few glances just now. If this lady doesn't plan to buy it, I have this intention. Of course, the quotation of 3.8 million that Mr. Wang said just now is indeed a bit high. If the price can be lower, I will Just bought it."

"Sir, what do you mean when you say cheaper? If the price you offer is not too outrageous, I can apply to the boss, because unfortunately, he happens to be away today, otherwise I can ask him to meet you face to face. Negotiate the price."

Li Mo pretended to think about it before saying: "One zero is missing, and I will take 380,000 away."

3.8 million was cut down to 380,000 in one fell swoop, which was too much of a bargain.

Master Jiang's face was already showing anger, and he was thinking of beating someone up.

"Master Jiang, don't be angry. I dare say that your boss didn't pay more than 50,000 yuan when he bought this painting. There is a saying in the antique world that as long as there is any doubt about the details of any item, it will never be sold." Can’t sell it. If there is no problem with your painting, then it is definitely not the price of 3.8 million, and at least one or two should be added to the front. Breaking 10 million is easy, not the current price I dare say, if you miss me, this painting may be worthless in your hands all the time, and your boss will lose as much as the cost of purchasing the painting before."

Master Jiang's originally angry expression disappeared at this moment. He looked Li Mo up and down. This young man had a thorough analysis. If 380,000 is sold, the boss will also earn blood.

"You can communicate with the boss first, and if you agree, I will pay immediately."

Li Mo took out his mobile phone, fiddled with a page and placed it in front of the master in charge. Master Jiang glanced at him, his eyes widened a little, and then he nodded respectfully and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, I will contact the boss immediately."

Ms. Sui Yunxin probably noticed that Li Mo was a bit unusual, she and Li Mo looked at each other and smiled slightly, while the old man beside her asked curiously: "This gentleman also knows calligraphy and painting?"

"It's not proficient, but one of my elders likes to collect. I often look at his collections there, and I have heard him analyze a lot, so I have some experience. If the boss insists on selling this painting for 3.8 million , I will not start with it, and if there is one less zero, I will take it back and show it to the elders. Even if the loss is not as serious as the loss, it is still bearable.

"Ms. Sui, let's go."

The old man said politely that the two were about to leave.

"Hello, Ms. Sui, I don't know if you also like genuine porcelain. If you also collect genuine porcelain, just wait a moment, I happen to have a good one in my hand."

"Oh, do you have it in your hand?" Sui Yunxin felt that this young man was a little interesting, and then nodded slightly. Once a person has curiosity, he wants to find out.

The old man hesitated to speak, but he actually felt that the young man's behavior was a bit strange. Three hundred and eighty thousand is not a small amount, and the one who can spend so much money to gamble is either a kid from a wealthy family with a lot of money, or a master of the middle class.

He couldn't help but looked at the painting on the counter again, feeling a little unsure in his heart.

Master Jiang who was sitting in the store finally came back from the phone call. He said respectfully, "Sir, our boss said that if you really like it, the price is 500,000."

"Forget it. Your boss doesn't want to do this business at all. In this case, I will leave. You can continue to keep this painting. Maybe one day you can meet the client you want to meet."

Without hesitation, Li Mo was about to leave with the packaged multicolored twig lotus platter. Seeing that he didn't hesitate, Master Jiang's face changed, and he quickly shouted with a smile: "Sir, please wait a moment, please give me another chance, and I will communicate with the boss again."

"Your boss has no sincerity in doing business. This time, the price is 300,000 yuan. If you don't do it, you can do it. I can't buy a painting with 300,000 yuan. I don't know if you sell paintings in this old street. How many are still playing with me?"

Master Jiang who was sitting in the shop almost slapped himself hard, it was really greedy. Just now the boss also agreed to a deal of 380,000 yuan, and he increased it to 500,000 yuan on his own initiative. He thought that he could bargain a few more times, and he could make a difference. How could he think that this young man would not play his cards according to the routine.

There are several antique shops on this street. If this young man casually mentions it in other shops, he will become a joke, and he may even lose his job.

He hurriedly walked to the side to get in touch again, and after a while he said with a smile: "Sir, I also exhausted my tongue, the boss finally agreed, look"

"Pack it up and I'll pay for it."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

As soon as he heard the payment, Master Jiang's whole body was full of energy, and he hurried to get a box to hold the scroll painting.

After a while, Li Mo and Sui Yunxin walked out of the antique shop under the gracious escort of Master Jiang and the store staff.

"Ms. Sui, there is a coffee shop over there. If you don't mind, I'll buy you a drink."

"What's your name, sir?"

"Li Mo."

Sui Yunxin smiled and said, "Where is the real piece of porcelain that Mr. Li mentioned?"

Li Mo gestured to the box in his right hand and said, "The boss doesn't know what to buy, and treats good things as garbage. I'll show Ms. Sui this Qing Kangxi multi-colored twig and pattern platter later, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

"Porcelain from Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty?"

Sui Yunxin glanced at the old man beside him: "Mr. Wang, you are also involved in porcelain, why don't we go over and see together?"

"Looking at Mr. Li's confident appearance, I'm also very curious, so let's enjoy the colorful Kangxi plate together."

The cafe has just opened, so there are no customers yet. Li Mo and the others chose a location near the window in the lobby, and he didn't waste any nonsense, so he took out the colorful plate and put it on the table to signal the two of them to have a look.

The old man took out a professional magnifying glass from his bag and took a closer look, his face became more and more serious. After looking both inside and outside, he looked at the bottom with anticipation, and the seriousness on his face suddenly became stunned.

Gently putting down the colorful platter, the old man looked at Li Mo strangely, and sighed in his heart. This young man is probably the kind of master who has money but can't spend it. Such an obvious handicraft can still be regarded as an authentic product of Qing Kangxi.

"Mr. Wang, how about this lotus plate?" Sui Yunxin asked.

The old man shook his head: "Mr. Li, is this the Qing Kangxi multicolored twig and pattern platter you were talking about?"

"Teacher Wang, you might as well tell me what you saw."

The old man was a little annoyed, this kid still wanted to test himself.

Li Mo smiled, not in a hurry, and waved to the waiter not far away.

"Hi sir, what do you need?"

Li Mo took out three red tickets from his bag and said, "Please bring me a plate of ice water, a lighter and a file. The file can be bought at the hardware store opposite. The rest of the money is considered hard work." Fei, thank you."

"Okay sir, please wait a moment, I'll go buy it right away."

After a while, everyone's things were placed on the table. Under the puzzled gazes of the two, Li Mo turned the colorful plate over and covered it on the table, and then rubbed it gently along the circle with a file. His movements are relatively light, and he grinds slowly along the inner circle.

Not only the two people on the opposite side looked puzzled, but even the bodyguards behind him and the clerk of the coffee shop all looked at this side curiously.

After about five minutes, Li Mo slowly baked the ring foot with a lighter to raise the local temperature, and then slowly put the ring foot into ice water.

Because the temperature at the bottom of the porcelain did not increase much, it did not cause severe thermal expansion and contraction when it was suddenly placed in ice water.

Li Mo took out the lotus flower plate to look at the bottom, dried it with a dry towel, continued to bake it with a lighter flame, and repeated the action of putting it in ice water.

Suddenly there was a slight crisp sound, and a smile appeared on the corner of Li Mo's mouth. He took out the lotus plate, and it was obvious to the naked eye that the porcelain tiles on the back cover had been separated from the original plate.

He flicked the toothpick on the table, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, a piece of porcelain fell off, revealing the bottom of the original porcelain, and the six-character blue and white block script of "Made in Kangxi Years of the Qing Dynasty" was clearly visible.

The old man stood up abruptly from the chair, and once again used the magnifying glass to look at it inch by inch. After a long time, he sat down silently, with a hint of shame on his face. At the same time, I am even more curious about Li Mo's origin. The bottom of the porcelain plate has been tampered with, how did he know it?

"Mr. Wang, what do you think of this colorful market now?"

"I'm really ashamed. I can't be a teacher in front of Mr. Li. Mr. Li has a good eye. This is indeed a genuine Kangxi multicolored lotus plate. Mr. Li bought it for 4,000 yuan just now, right? Big leak."

"Haha, I'm not that good, but I'm a little familiar with five-color porcelain. One of my elders has a Qing Kangxi five-color four-concubine sixteen-child pen holder in his family. After looking at it for a long time, I have a feeling for five-color porcelain."

He spoke very casually, but he had been quietly paying attention to Sui Yunxin's reaction. Sure enough, when she heard the Qing Kangxi colorful pen holder, her face changed slightly.

"Mr. Li, is this a treasure-appreciating technique handed down from the family?" Sui Yunxin said with a smile, "Many big collectors will pass the craftsmanship down from generation to generation."

"Ms. Sui really guessed right. I was born in Shanghai, and I have been studying antiques and miscellaneous subjects with my master since I was a child, so I often go out to search for treasures. I was lucky today. I found a Qing Kangxi multicolored twig and pattern platter."

"Mr. Li is from Shanghai? I also lived in Shanghai for a long time when I was young. I would like to ask, which elder of the Kangxi colorful pen holder you just mentioned belonged to?"

"It's my master's cousin, his name is Liu Hongqing."

"What?"

Sui Yunxin stood up abruptly and looked at Li Mo with incredible eyes. Her body was trembling slightly, as if an indescribable emotion was brewing in her body.

"Does Ms. Sui know my elders?" Li Mo showed a look of surprise on his face, but then he shook his head and said, "No, my elder has always lived in the countryside of his hometown, and he has never been married. Strange, the Qing Kangxi five-color pen holder in his family’s collection is worth over one million, but he lives so simple and never thought of selling that pen holder. I asked him before, but he always I kept silent, and fell into a state of reminiscence every time I couldn't relax for a long time. I'm sorry, the topic changed. Ms. Sui, I wonder if you need to collect this Kangxi multicolored twig and pattern platter?"

There should be another chapter, it will be later
