"Thirty thousand? Boss, your price is a bit unreal!"

Jin Muchen said with a smile, the proprietress seemed to have expected Jin Muchen to say this, so she rolled her eyes charmingly.

"Okay, what's the price?"

Bamboo carving pen holder, in the early years in the collection world, was not a popular, but only a small collection. The reason is very simple, mainly because this bamboo pen holder is not resistant to storage.

Especially for old bamboo, once it has been a long time, the problem of drying and cracking will occur, so the requirements for the environmental conditions of storage are particularly high.

The climate in northern China is dry, so bamboo pen holders especially cannot withstand such climatic conditions. At that time, it was mainly collected in the southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

However, the price trend of this thing in recent years has been rising all the way, and even brought a wave of bamboo carving pen holder collection, and the main reason for this is that in the 2oo5 Christie's spring auction, a bamboo carving pen holder made by Gu Yu, It was sold at a sky-high price of HK$1o450,000.

This successful transaction directly promoted the prosperity of the bamboo-carved pen holder collection circle, and even the Puhai Museum, which was known as "No One Mortal Object" at that time, successively acquired more than 260 pieces of Gu Yu's works.

So from then on, Gu Yu's bamboo-carved pen holder has been very optimistic in the collection world, and has been highly praised by many collectors.

If the pen holder in front of me is in good condition, let alone 30,000, even 3,000,000 Jin Muchen may not be able to get it.

However, the current situation of this pen holder is not optimistic. There are serious cracks on the body of the pen holder and on the base. It would be better if there were only these cracks. It's a pity that in the depths of these cracks, there are still several traces of repair failure, such as the dried glue and other traces that are difficult to deal with.

In this way, the price of this pen holder can only be lowered all the way down. If the previous pen holder only had traces of cracks, it could still be regarded as a remnant.

But together with the traces of repair failure, it can only be regarded as a defective product.

Such a pen holder is basically worthless in the market. Because even if you buy it back and hire the best restoration experts in the world, it will be very difficult to restore this pen holder to its original state.

Not to mention repairing the original state, it is impossible to repair 70%.

What collector is willing to spend a lot of money to buy a pen holder like this? So it wasn't an exaggeration for the shop owner to use it as a door-closing utensil before, but now she wants to ask for 30,000 yuan for this door-closing utensil, which is a bit too much.

"Boss. We all know this thing very well. With his current conditions, to be honest, it's not an exaggeration for you to use it to cover the door, but we play antiques, and we pay attention to it. This thing may not be in your eyes. It's worthless, but in my opinion, if you like it, then there's nothing to do. Well, I bid 3,000 for this tube. If you want it, you can make it. If you don't want it, then you can continue to use him to cover the door. "

Jin Muchen quoted the price, and the proprietress was holding her arms. Looking at the pen holder, there are a lot of materials that can be used to cover the door at her house. There is no shortage of such a pen holder. Anyway, this pen holder is a waste in her opinion. No loss.

"Okay. Just three thousand."

The proprietress agreed at once, and Jin Muchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. No one else could repair the tube, but for him, with the purple jade space, it was not a problem at all.

He ordered 3,000 in cash, handed it to the proprietress, paid in one hand, delivered in the other hand, and then left the store.

Looking at the pen holder in his hand, even though the pen holder was in a dilapidated state at this time, he couldn't hide his excitement.

Three thousand yuan can be exchanged for a treasure of three million yuan. This transaction can definitely be said to be a huge profit!

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved. There are very few real things on the market now, and even if there are, the asking price is terrifyingly high.

If you want your own antique store to take root in Manhattan, it will definitely not be able to rely on those handicrafts and a few boutiques to support the scene.

No matter what, there must be a lot of treasures to support the scene, and these treasures must be spread out. For example, the price is relatively cheap, or medium, and then high. For each level, there must be dozens or dozens of pieces. only thing.

But if you really want to find all these treasures in the country, I am afraid that you will have to spend 10 million yuan, and you may not be able to buy them.

You must know that Chinese-style collections are mainly based on porcelain, and domestic porcelain, the more refined the price, the higher the price. Ordinary folk kiln porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties has now sold for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. price.

The mid-level ones produced by famous kilns can easily cost hundreds of thousands or millions, while those produced by high-quality official kilns, even those used in the imperial palace, can easily cost tens of millions.

If you really let yourself let go of the acquisition, the money in your hand is simply not enough.

But what if you only buy those scraps? That way, it would save a lot of money.

It should be known that the number of defective porcelain products in China is many times more than the number of good products, and even a special market has been formed. Many entry-level Tibetan friends, as well as those who are shy, like it. Buy such pieces of china to go home and study.

The entry-level Tibetan friends learn, observe and accumulate the characteristics and related knowledge of various porcelain through these porcelain fragments, while the shy Tibetan friends like to buy these fragments and go back to repair them by themselves.

But their repair ability, how can they have their own arrogance from this purple jade space?

If you buy a lot of porcelain fragments and repair them slowly, doesn't this mean that there is an additional channel for purchasing?

You must know that for an antique store, the most important are two channels, one is the purchase channel, the other is the delivery channel, and the other is not so important at all.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up, on the other side of Panjiayuan's greenhouse area, there was a greenhouse specializing in porcelain fragments.

However, he didn't rush to walk over, but took a few deep breaths and chose to go back to the hotel first to repair the pen holder and see the effect.

Back at the hotel, he couldn't even wait to eat, but went back to his room first, found a deerskin towel, dipped it in water, and gently wiped the dust on the pen holder.

Because it is not taken seriously, the current condition of this pen holder is very bad. Not only is it seriously cracked, but it is also very dirty, covered with dust, and some parts are even full of old dirt, which is very difficult to clean.

Finally, it can't be wiped off with a deerskin towel, so you can only choose to use a brush to gently wipe it with water.

It took a long time to get rid of the stains on the barrel. Then, I took out the knife and started to gently scrape the dried glue in the crack. It took more than an hour to scrape it clean.

Then put it there to dry in the shade, and then throw it into the Purple Jade Space.

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon, but this time I woke up, not as weak as the body was hollowed out after using space to repair the baby. The transformation has really made his body much stronger, and even his mental strength has been greatly improved.

When I took out the pen holder again, the pen holder was in a brand new state, and most of the cracks on the body and bottom of the holder had disappeared.

You can even see traces of green on the pen holder. This carving technique can be said to be the pinnacle of bamboo carving.

The bright and tender bamboo tube began to cut, because the bamboo skin at that time was still turquoise, and it was such a thin layer, so it is definitely a master who can have a green carving technique on the pen tube.

Then there are relief, openwork, and round carvings. This part is to scrape off a layer of bamboo skin, and work **** the part with the finest texture of bamboo, which is called green.

It is also the craft and process that best reflects the carving master's techniques and skills, and this part is also the most brilliant part after the pen holder is completed.

The characteristic of green green is that it will gradually turn red with the passage of time, and the older it gets, the more red it becomes.

And this pen holder has all the above features, plus Gu Yu's name, and the delicate carving on this pen holder, Jin Muchen's heart is overwhelmed.

According to the current market situation of Gu Yu's bamboo-carved pen holders, such a finely crafted pen holder, I am afraid that there are no three to four million, and it will definitely not come down. This time I picked it up.

Seeing this newly repaired pen holder, Jin Muchen's mind turned over the profitable business that he remembered yesterday afternoon. He immediately got up to wash, took a casual bite, and then went straight to Panjiayuan.

This time, his purpose is the greenhouse that specializes in selling scraps~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Once inside, you can see that the basic psychology has a spectrum.

The products sold at these stalls are basically remnants of porcelain, most of which are cups, bowls and plates produced by folk kilns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but most of them are defective products.

If there is a punch, they are all light, most of them are cracked teeth, with obvious signs of breaking, these are still light, and the serious ones are the ones that have been broken into eight pieces, even a complete bowl. The quality of the disc can't be spelled out.

These porcelains look a bit appalling, but there is also the benefit of being cheap.

For example, in a small shop on the other side of the market, if you want to buy a complete Ming and Qing Dynasty folk kiln porcelain, even if the quality is average, it costs more than 10,000 yuan.

But here, you can buy more than a dozen pieces for more than 10,000 yuan. The bowl has a punch, and the plate has a punch. The relative price is relatively expensive. You can usually buy a few hundred of those produced by famous kilns and official kilns. Thousands of dollars, but those pieces are cheap and cruel, you can buy a bag for ten thousand dollars.
