I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

There are really no rooms left.

Shen Xia could only reluctantly agree to share a room with Ji Sheng.

When Ji Sheng heard her promise, his heart jumped in his throat, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Xia twice more.

This woman was already very beautiful.

Although she can't see her figure in a skirt now, when Ji Sheng started the car last time, he felt that her figure was very predictable.

Thinking of the possibility of staying in the same room tonight and the next two nights, Ji Sheng couldn't help but imagine.

Will something happen?

Will it be, or will it be?

Even after entering the elevator, Ji Sheng was thinking wildly, not paying attention to what Shen Xia and Boss Li were talking about.

All the way to the door of the room, Boss Li asked again, "Xiao Ji, did you hear clearly?"

Ji Sheng was thinking wildly before, not knowing what the other party said, "What?"

Boss Li said speechlessly: "I want you to send the items for the auction to the third floor."

"Oh, okay, I'll send it over later."

After Ji Sheng finished speaking, he remembered that he hadn't taken out his things from the mysterious space, and it was inconvenient here, so he handed the room card to Shen Xia, "I'll go and see if my friend has delivered the things, you go to the room first Watch TV."

"Okay." Shen Xia swiped the door with her room card and went in.

Ji Sheng turned around and went downstairs, out of the hotel.

He found a place where no one was around, took out the collection one by one, and deliberately called Ning Jie, asking her to help send a few people over to get the things.

There is a set of huanghuali tables and chairs, which he cannot carry alone.

Waited ten minutes.

It was Boss Li who brought a few people to the river to move his things back to the hotel.

……

third floor.

This seems to be a small meeting room, but the meeting table has been dismantled, and all the collections are placed.

Ji Sheng saw Sister Ning talking to a skinny man in his 40s wearing a Chinese tunic.

There are three or five older gentlemen who are appraising things by themselves.

"Be careful!"

"Ouch! Be careful not to knock it! It's antique china! Antique!"

Boss Li anxiously ordered a few young men to move Ji Sheng's things, "This is from Huanghuali, can you afford to pay for it if it breaks?"

Ji Cheng broke into a sweat, and said in his heart that I'm not nervous at all, it looks like you're in a hurry.

Perhaps the words huanghuali attracted everyone's attention.

Sister Ning, who was talking to the man in the Chinese tunic suit, looked sideways, and then her eyes lit up, but she was still very educated, her eyes quickly fell on Ji Sheng, and said with a smile, "Xiao Ji is here?"

Ji Sheng greeted, "Sister Ning."

"Old Zhang, this is the Xiao Ji I told you about, Ji Sheng." Sister Ning introduced.

The man in the tunic suit smiled and held out his hand, "Hello, Xiao Ji."

Ji Sheng shook hands with him, "Mr. Zhang, hello."

After getting acquainted, Lao Zhang smiled and pointed to the sofa, "Sit down first, and I'll talk to you slowly after I explain things."

Ji Sheng said, "You're busy."

He sat down on the sofa.

Sister Ning stepped in front of Ji Sheng on red high heels. She was not dressed as stylishly as before today, but was wearing a green women's suit with a pink shirt with an open collar inside.

She randomly pulled out a lady's cigarette and put it between her left hand, which was painted with emerald green nail polish, and handed it to Ji Sheng, "Smoking?"

Ji Sheng could see clearly that Sister Ning's middle finger was not painted with nail polish, so he shook his head, "I don't smoke women's cigarettes, thank you."

Sister Ning took advantage of the opportunity to sit down, lit a cigarette, and sucked a puff on her red lips. Suddenly, the smoke filled the air. She smiled and said, "You brought your girlfriend?"

Ji Sheng just wanted to say no, but for some reason, the words came out of his mouth, "It's about the same."

Well, girlfriend and female friend are almost the same, only one word is missing.

Over there, Lao Zhang was still talking about something, "Masters, please be more careful when you hold your eyes. This time, some important figures are here. We must not let fakes and fakes flow in, so as not to damage our reputation, you know?"

"it is good."

"know."

"Mr. Zhang, are you still worried about us?"

The five old gentlemen replied casually.

Here, Ji Sheng chatted with Sister Ning for a few words.

Lao Zhang came over with a smile after explaining the matter, "Hi Xiao Ji, I'm sorry for neglecting you."

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be polite." Ji Sheng wanted to get up politely.

Mr. Zhang smiled and pressed his hands to signal him to sit down, then pulled a chair and sat down, "You were introduced by Sister Ning, so you don't need to be so polite." He paused, and said: "The few pieces you brought Stuff, I glanced at it briefly, and it's all good stuff with the door open, that's all, right?"

"There's something else in the bag." Ji Sheng casually handed over the handbag he was carrying, and then handed over the painting covered in a cloth, "And this painting."

"Oh? What a good thing?" Lao Zhang was very interested. He didn't even look at the painting, so he put it aside and opened the handbag casually.

Immediately, something inside was exposed.

A piece of suet jade, a Tianhuang seal, four topaz lake brushes, and a dragon and phoenix carved by Nanhong.

There are not many things, and there are still some Ji Sheng didn't take out, he was afraid that if he took out too much at once, people would find out about him.

Lao Zhang was taken aback, "Oh, you put these good things around so casually, aren't you afraid that they will be damaged and depreciated?"

Sister Ning's eyes lit up when she saw something.

谷瓬

The most excited one was Boss Li who was sitting over there. He immediately stood up and said, "Good stuff! Good stuff!"

Lao Zhang ignored him, and waved to the five palm-eye masters, "Come here and help me identify things."

The five palm-eye masters all came over.

One of the short, fat little old men laughed and said, "It's definitely not bad for Lao Li to say good things..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes had caught sight of a few things in the handbag, and his voice stopped abruptly , quickly squatted down and carefully picked up the Tianhuang seal and looked at it carefully.

Lao Zhang introduced: "This is Mr. Yu, a master of jade appraisal."

Ji Sheng said hello, "Mr. Yu is good."

I don't know if Teacher Yu was engrossed in watching it. He didn't reply at all, but said excitedly: "This is a seal carved by Tian Huangshi."

Ji Sheng asked curiously, "How can you tell it's Tian Huang at a glance?"

Teacher Yu couldn't put it down, held the seal in his hand and looked at it, pointed to the palm of his hand and said: "The stone skin is one of the main signs of Tianhuangshi. Most Tianhuangshi are covered with leather, so whether there is a stone skin is an important factor in identifying Tianhuang, and ah The cortex of Tianhuang is more delicate than other Shoushan stones or Balin stones. If you scrape gently with a knife, there will be a smooth and slightly sinking feeling on the knife. The powder particles that fall off are fine and uniform. This is a carved seal. I dare not Take a knife and scrape."

The other eye masters all came over when they heard Tian Huang's seal.

Another bald master with small eyes added: "Tianhuang mainly relies on the naked eye to judge whether it is true or false. It requires years of research experience on Tianhuangshi and some scientific instruments for identification. Both are indispensable. There are many auctions today. The teacher of the company is blind, and sometimes he can’t tell the difference between Tianhuang and Shoushan stone. Either there are radish silk patterns or Tianhuang, and Shoushan stone also has radish silk patterns. Tianhuang is invisible and has no large pieces. kind."

Boss Li also interjected a few words.

Ji Sheng listened very carefully, and probably understood how they judged Tian Huang's authenticity.

Generally speaking, Tianhuang has six characteristics.First, the texture is fine, like a baby's skin; second, the inner substance is dense and shiny, and the hand feels slippery; third, it has a gentle feeling; fourth, it can produce dewdrop-like moisture in the palm of the hand, just like the desire of dew Drip; fifth, it is generally translucent and jelly-like; finally, Tian Huang’s skin is full of oil, and after a little playing with hands, it will return to the inside and out of oil. Other stones do not have this greasy feeling, let alone upward Oily outside.

In addition, the hardness of Tianhuang is similar to that of human nails, and there will be radish silk patterns inside, which can be seen with a light.

Then they tinkered with instruments such as infrared spectroscopy and x-ray energy spectroscopy for a long time.

After the test, Teacher Yu raised his head and sighed: "This is a high-quality piece of Tianhuang. There are basically no cracks on it, the radish silk pattern is clear, the color and luster can reach more than 37%, and the price of the rough stone can reach 370%. It’s [-] per gram, I just weighed it, and it’s [-] grams, which is a conservative estimate of [-] million without the workmanship.”

Ji Sheng's heart skipped a beat, he swallowed, and asked, "How about craftsmanship?"

Teacher Yu shook his head helplessly, "It's a pity that it's not the handwriting of a master sculptor, but the carving technology is also considered good, and the advantage is that there is no engraving, so it should be able to increase by another 20 or [-]."

Ji Sheng was surprised, and said in disbelief, "This seal is worth 380 million?"

"380 million is just a conservative estimate." Sister Ning took up the conversation, "In the autumn auction of 26, a 230-gram Qing Dynasty square stamp was sold for a high price of 3 million yuan, which contains historical details, but the quality of that square stamp is comparable to Xiaoji's This piece is almost the same, and the price of Tianhuang Zhang has increased a lot in the past two years. Generally, the quality of Tianhuangzhang is more than five grams, and each gram is roughly more than [-] yuan. Like Xiaoji, Tianhuang is already frozen. , it’s not a problem to sell [-] per gram.”

Boss Li scratched his head and ears greedily, and said, "Xiao Ji, sell it to me, sell it to me."

Lao Zhang looked at him, "Don't you know the rules?"

Boss Li smiled wryly, "Well, I'd better bid at the auction."

Ji Sheng asked again: "So what's the starting price for my piece?"

"The starting price must be slightly lower than the actual value. I personally suggest that the starting price of 300 million is better." Mr. Yu said.

Ji Sheng had no objection, and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Teacher Yu reluctantly put down the Tianhuang seal, and turned to look at Nanhong carving.

These things were all bought in cultural relics stores, Ji Sheng didn't think there would be fakes, but he really wanted to know the estimated value.

Also identified by Mr. Yu, he took out a strong flashlight and pointed it at Nanhong's carving. He seemed to know that Ji Sheng didn't understand it very well, so he said a little more intentionally or unintentionally, "To judge whether it is Nanhong, first of all, let's use a strong light to aim at it. Agate, if it is Nanhong, you can see the red color formed by countless cinnabar spots in it. This feature is not available in other agates. If it is very red Nanhong, it cannot be penetrated by light. This identification method is not applicable... um , well, this method is not applicable to you.”

Ji Sheng asked: "Then how do we need to distinguish?"

Teacher Yu continued, "That requires a lot of experience. The quality of texture is an important indicator for evaluating Nanhong. As Chen Xing said: the body is like creamy fat, the essence is restrained, the texture is thick and moist, and the veins are firm and dense. A good piece Nanhong, it looks very comfortable, soft and moisturising, you have this kind of feeling."

Then he said a lot more.

First of all, Nanhong agate is divided into brocade red, rose red, cinnabar red, pick red, and red and white are the true colors.

Ji Sheng looks like Jin Hong.

Secondly, the shape of Nanhong agate is mostly like a potato. Ji Sheng’s piece has been carved, so it’s hard to judge, but Mr. Yu has rich experience, and he is sure that the Zhennanhong carving is genuine without any cracks. How much is it.

This Nanhong carving is about 560 grams, neither too big nor too small.

After the appraisal, Mr. Yu introduced the market price, "The low-grade Nanhong is less than 100 yuan per gram, and the medium-quality one is one or two hundred. Your piece of brocade red is a color that is favored by people. This is a high-quality gemstone. Nanhong is hot, there is no problem at all if you break one thousand per gram, and it may be three to five thousand per gram if you meet someone who knows the goods. It’s hard to say what price you can get at auction, but your carving is very good, I think it can be auctioned for a high price .”

Ji Sheng asked, "Then what's the best starting price for my piece of Nanhong?"

Teacher Yu suggested: "I suggest that the auction be based on 560 per gram. If it is too low, others may regard it as a fake. If it is too high, it is beyond the psychological tolerance of many people. For 84 grams, the starting price of [-] is better, but There is a possibility of unsold.”

Teacher Yu's conservative estimate is lower than Shen Xia's estimated price.

Ji Sheng didn't understand the market either, so he thought for a while, "It's only 84."

Appraisal is one thing, and auction is another. If you find something you like, you can double it.

Later, the body of the Hubi was made of topaz, which was also within the scope of Mr. Yu's identification.

Although the quality of topaz is high, the material of the pen body is relatively small, and the carving process is not bad. The starting price suggested by Mr. Yu is 10 yuan for one pen, and 40 yuan for four pens.

Appraisal and valuation of everything.

Porcelain pen holders during the Kangxi period and amphora during the Daoguang period were all estimated at very high prices, and porcelain from the Republic of China was slightly cheaper.

Soon, there was only one painting covered with cloth.

"It's almost there." Lao Zhang looked at it with great interest, "There is still one painting left, right?"

Ji Cheng hummed, "It's just one painting, a modern ink painting."

"Modern times."

"That's probably not worth much."

"If the ancient painting is valuable, it is more likely."

After seeing so many high-quality goods and hearing that it was a modern ink painting, the palm-eye masters all lost interest.

Not to mention a few palm-eye masters, even Boss Li, Lao Zhang and Sister Ning have lost a lot of interest.

In their view, how can modern ink painting be of high quality?

Unless you can get the masterpieces of masters such as Zhang Daqian and Xu Beihong.

But thinking about it, it's impossible. The works of masters of this level usually enter large-scale auctions, so how could anyone use them for private auctions?

So everyone didn't pay much attention.

It wasn't until Ji Sheng lifted the covering cloth that the painting revealed the true face of Mount Lu.
