    Since the preparation of the porcelain pieces would take a while, Meng Zitao said hello to everyone and first appreciated the existing collection in the vault.

    It must be said that the collection in the vault is indeed not too precious, but it is not ordinary either. As far as porcelain is concerned, although the utensils from official kilns only account for one-fifth, the remaining porcelain from private kilns is basically  They are all high-quality products among private kilns. They are quite popular in the market and the prices are relatively good.

    In addition, the things here are all genuine products from Dakai. It is estimated that the person in charge of collecting them also put a lot of thought into them.

    Generally speaking, newly established auction companies have not yet established their own credibility and are not well-known. They usually hire two or three people who have been working in the auction industry for a long time and have certain customer resources to be responsible for collecting lots.

    After a period of accumulation, if the auction company has a good reputation within the auction consignment circle, it will accumulate a certain degree of credibility.

    By this time, except for some treasures or special lots, sellers of other general lots will automatically come to your door. At this time, there is no need to invest as much manpower as in the initial stage to collect lots.

    And this stage is the only way for all newly established auction companies. Unless they burn money and recruit a large number of professional talents in the industry, they can only proceed step by step.

    Meng Zitao and the others have discussed not to do anything that would burn money. First of all, they really want to make the auction company bigger and stronger, and hope to accumulate relevant experience by starting from scratch.  In addition, with Shu Ze here, there is no need to worry about connections. It can even be said that some companies have burned a lot of money, but they are not as effective as Shu Ze alone.

    Since the company was founded, there are currently two professionals in charge of recruitment in the company, both of whom were recruited by Zhang Jingqiang with high salaries. Judging from the current situation, their work is still worthy of their high salaries.

    "Um?"

    Meng Zitao looked a little surprised when he got a "Fuchang Chongbao" worth three big bucks in regular script.

    "Fuchang Chongbao" is a coin minted by the pseudo-Qi Dynasty during the Southern Song Dynasty.

    During the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Liu Yu rebelled against the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. In July of the fourth year of Jianyan, he was made a puppet emperor by the Jin people with the title of Fuchang. During the eight years when Yu was the emperor of Qi, Liao money and Song money were used.  The old money was insufficient, so Fuchang money was cast in imitation of Daguan money.

    The casting of Fuchang coins ended the 40-year history of not casting copper coins in the early Jin Dynasty. It can be regarded as the first coin casting in the Jin Dynasty.  The calligraphy of Fuchang money is very beautiful, the casting is fine, and the money is delicate and beautiful, which is no less than that of Chongning, Daguan, Xuanhe money in the Northern Song Dynasty.

    However, because Liu Yu¡¯s puppet regime did not exist for a long time, and the circulation area of ??Fuchang coins was basically the same as that of the puppet Qi regime, which was limited to certain areas in the north, the number of its coins minted and issued was not large, and its survival is even rarer.

    "For example, if the "Fuchang Chongbao" is worth three regular script coins, if it looks like this in the hands of Meng Zitao now, it would be worth at least about 40,000 to 50,000, and the big money would be even more incredible.

    Big money is a kind of coin that is larger than common copper coins and has a higher value than ordinary copper coins. This big money would be nothing if it were produced in a year when there were a lot of coins. However, on the "Fuchang Chongbao" three-character regular script coins,  Then Meng Zitao can't help but be surprised.

    Because Meng Zitao has never seen or heard of the "Fuchang Chongbao" three-digit regular script money that has a lot of money.

    Think about it, a coin that has never been heard of before suddenly appears. If it is genuine, both the market value and the research value will be quite amazing. It will also attract the attention of the Kosen community, which is very beneficial to the company's reputation.

    So, Meng Zitao quickly observed carefully, looking at the font, material, and craftsmanship, and found that the production was quite sophisticated, and the text was profound, as if it had never been used before.

    "That's not right!"

    Meng Zitao suddenly had a problem with his consciousness, because this big coin had long-term wear and tear at the perforation position and when threading the money with a rope, but the text behaved as if it had not been used before. Isn't that contradictory?

    Since he didn¡¯t have much research on coins, Meng Zitao used his supernatural power, and the result given by the supernatural power was exactly what he guessed. This big coin was indeed a fake, and it was made in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

    After learning the result, Meng Zitao suddenly realized that no wonder he couldn't see any traces of old age. It turned out that time had erased some traces.

    While Meng Zitao was looking for other flaws on the coin, others also noticed it. This was because Meng Zitao had never stood in front of an object for such a long time before, which made everyone realize that there was something unusual about it.  .

    So, Zhang Jingqiang quickly brought everyone over and asked if there was any problem.

    ? ?Refined'¡­¡­"

    Next, Meng Zitao pointed out several small problems on the coins one after another, but when the small problems accumulated, they became big problems.

    Seeing that everyone agreed with his opinion, Meng Zitao was relieved. Fortunately, there was a "Fuchang Chongbao" in regular script beside him for comparison. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to find out a few small problems.  .

    After listening to Meng Zitao¡¯s explanation, Zhang Jingqiang, needless to say, has always had confidence in Meng Zitao. Qingqiang and Kong Yuedong had seen Meng Zitao¡¯s outstanding performance at the exchange meeting. Now, it only makes them more admired.

    When it was Liu Baoyuan's turn, his impression of Meng Zitao changed greatly. After all, in the antique industry, most people cannot be knowledgeable and expert in everything, but Meng Zitao already has this little meaning. The key is,  He is still only in his twenties, which is quite amazing if you think about it carefully.

    It was precisely because of Meng Zitao's outstanding performance that Liu Baoyuan felt a little nervous. After all, at his age, it would be a bit embarrassing if he lost to a young man like Meng Zitao.

    After dealing with the coins, Meng Zitao appraised the remaining items again. This time there were no problems, which made Zhang Jingqiang breathe a sigh of relief.

    After that, everyone went to the company's reception room together and waited for Wang Zhixuan to arrive with the porcelain pieces. They waited until the afternoon before Wang Zhixuan and Cheng Qiheng walked in together carrying two boxes.

    Meng Zitao first introduced everyone, and after a few polite words from both sides, the competition officially began.

    There are twenty-five porcelain pieces in each of the two boxes. Since the porcelain pieces have been numbered, the competition between the two people can be carried out at the same time.

    For the sake of fairness, the two people took the porcelain pieces to two rooms for appraisal, and no one could accompany them.

    Before leaving, Meng Zitao gave Cheng Qiheng and the others a reassuring look, and Cheng Qiheng also gave him a cheering gesture.

    When I opened the box, I saw porcelain pieces of various sizes and colors inside. An ordinary person would be dazzled just by looking at them.

    Although there is the help of superpowers, and Meng Zitao has already planned to cheat, he does not want to use superpowers now. After all, there are not many such opportunities, and he does not want to waste the opportunity to learn.

    He took the porcelain pieces out of the box one by one and put them on the table. Then, Meng Zitao began to identify them from left to right.

    However, the first piece of porcelain gave Meng Zitao a "powerful start" because the performance of this piece of porcelain was clearly that of Yuan blue and white.

    Speaking of Yuan blue and white porcelain, the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain with the main pattern of "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" was sold at Christie's for approximately 230 million in July 2005, and it has become a household name in the antique circle.  Since then, the Yuan blue and white market has been booming, with collections constantly being sold at auctions at high prices.

    However, not all Yuanqing flowers are valuable. The ones that are truly valuable are those using Suma Liqing material.

    In fact, this is also caused by objective factors. You must know that the Suma Li blue material is an imported cobalt material. In the Yuan Dynasty, due to underdeveloped transportation, it was very difficult to transport blue and white materials from the production area of ??the green material to the porcelain capital.  .  As a result, suma liqing material is more expensive than gold.

    It¡¯s easy to understand in this way. If it were you, would you waste such a valuable thing on those low-end utensils?

    This was also the case at that time. Painters with the best skills were usually hired to paint high-end utensils. Therefore, both the painting and production levels of Yuan blue and white were quite high. At that time, it was impossible to produce many of them.  By now, of course, there are even fewer.

    Closer to home, when Meng Zitao saw that the color performance of the piece in his hand looked very much like a genuine Yuan blue and white porcelain made of Suma Liqing material, he couldn't help but take a breath (Remember this site's website address: www.  hlnovel.com
