Mr. Zhang said with some regret: "But unfortunately, this bowl is not well preserved. Not only are there several small chippings on the rim, but there is also a small piece missing at the bottom, which greatly affects its value."
The old lady was extremely nervous and asked: "Expert, how much is my bowl worth now?"
Mr. Zhang felt a little embarrassed, but considering the situation of his eldest wife's family, he still said: "It can be worth ten thousand at best."
"It's only ten thousand, can't it be more?" The boss was very disappointed with his money. Although ten thousand was an unexpected blessing, it was still a drop in the bucket for his family.
Mr. Zhang shook his head. One thing he didn¡¯t say was that this price was already the highest estimate on the market. In today¡¯s market, generally no one would spend 10,000 yuan to buy it. And the reason why he estimated this price was to do his best to spend 10,000 yuan to buy it.
At this time, Meng Zitao said: "Mr. Zhang, can you let me get my hands on this bamboo hat bowl?"
Mr. Zhang handed the bamboo hat bowl to Meng Zitao. After appreciating it, Meng Zitao also came to the same conclusion, and then said to the aunt: "Grandma Qin, if it is convenient, can you come with me?"
The old lady had nothing to worry about, so she immediately agreed and followed Meng Zitao to a quiet corner of the venue out of curiosity.
"Grandma Qin, I just saw that you seemed reluctant to sell this bowl. I think you should keep it. As for the medical expenses, I will send someone to contact you and I will go there tomorrow to understand the situation. If there is no problem If so, I will fund part of the medical expenses."
Meng Zitao didn¡¯t take everything in one go because he didn¡¯t know much about the situation of the eldest mother¡¯s family, and he didn¡¯t know what kind of person the aunt¡¯s son was. It was definitely not what he wanted to support a bully.
In addition, uremia is a very troublesome and serious disease. Apart from dialysis, the best way is to have a kidney transplant, which will definitely cost a lot of money. Moreover, even if a kidney is transplanted, anti-rejection drugs will need to be taken for a long time. No problem, but will the next series of treatments all depend on his charity fund?
Of course, Meng Zitao has no intention of giving up halfway, but this needs to wait until the future. At least he will definitely help with the child's future tuition fees.
"Ah! Really!"
The old lady was shocked. Meng Zitao's words were completely beyond her expectation, and her hands trembled slightly with excitement.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I will definitely not lie to you about this matter. I would also like you to give me a contact information. In addition, please keep this matter confidential."
Meng Zitao¡¯s original purpose of creating a charity fund was simply to assist students. As for supporting patients, it was not within the scope of his consideration. Because this kind of funding is too troublesome, and it may cause problems and cause misunderstandings among the public. In fact, this is not what he cares about. The key is that he has done good things but caused trouble for himself. It is really disappointing.
Of course, just like this time, if he encounters someone, Meng Zitao will still give him the help he can.
The old lady doesn¡¯t know why Meng Zitao has such a request. Does he like to do good deeds without leaving his name? But since Meng Zitao made such a request, of course she readily agreed.
The old lady cried with joy and wiped her tears and said: "Okay, okay, no problem, but I don't have a phone!"
Meng Zitao handed his business card to the old lady: "Grandma Qin, you can ask your family to contact me. I will send someone to contact your family tomorrow."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you." The old lady carefully put away Meng Zitao's business card, and then she looked at the bowl she brought: "Expert, is this bowl not valuable?"
Meng Zitao said euphemistically: "You can't say that. It is still somewhat valuable, and at least it is priceless in your heart."
In fact, Mr. Zhang really misjudged this Longquan kiln imitation official kiln bamboo hat bowl. Based on Meng Zitao¡¯s experience, it should be a clear imitation. However, the imitation was too lifelike, so Mr. Zhang was struck by it. However, on the occasion just now, it was certainly impossible for Meng Zitao to tell the truth, otherwise his emotional intelligence and IQ would be touching.
"Hey, thank you so much." The old lady sighed and said, "Actually, this bowl was my husband's favorite thing during his lifetime. I was reluctant to sell it before. I only took it over when I had no other choice. In this case It's just right, so he doesn't have to worry about me in the underworld."
Speaking of this, the old lady excitedly said to Meng Zitao: "It's just, how can I thank you."
"Auntie, there's no need to be so polite. I'm just doing what I can for myself and my family.A middle-aged man, but he didn't recognize him.
"Who are you?"
"I, Shen Xuanzhong, opened a small shop over there in the Antique City. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
"It turns out to be Shopkeeper Shen. I wonder what's wrong with you?"
Shen Xuanzhong smiled and said, "That's right. I just collected a piece of porcelain and a painting. I'm a little unsure, so I want to ask your help to take a look. Is it possible? Don't worry, it won't take long."
Meng Zitao looked at the time. The flight was still early, and there was nothing urgent to do now, so he agreed.
¡°There is a coffee shop in front, let¡¯s talk about it there.¡±
"Please lead the way."
Shen Xuanzhong brought Meng Zitao to the coffee shop, ordered a few things, and took them out.
As soon as the things were taken out, Meng Zitao was attracted by a goblet.
This cup has a dignified shape, with a rounded mouth, an open mouth and beautiful lines, and a high base and high feet. The whole body is covered with white glaze, with orange peel lines on the glaze and a warm feel. The outer wall of the bowl is painted with white glaze and three red fish. The blue and white double coils on the outsole are signed with the six-character double-line "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" in blue and white regular script inside.
The fish pattern on this cup is vivid and lively, as if three red fish are following each other in the water. The shiny white glaze with orange peel patterns and the bright red underglaze decoration complement each other and form an interesting contrast.
The underglaze red three-fish pattern goblet is a new type that appeared during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of goblet was imitated in Wanli and Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the Kangxi imitations were the most authentic, but The glaze is not as plump and bright as the real thing, the abdomen is less plump, and the lines of the high feet are slightly stiff.
The three-fish pattern on this kind of underglaze red porcelain is the partial use of high-temperature copper red glaze, which has a natural ruby-like luster. The literature calls it "underglaze red treasure firing".
After Meng Zitao looked at the goblet, Shen Xuanzhong said: "We all know that the underglaze red porcelain of the Xuande, Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties is more famous. As for the underglaze red porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, I won't talk about it. It is rare to see it normally. Xuande underglaze red porcelain is rarely so bright, it is purple, black, and lighter in color. In the Kangxi and Yongzheng eras, the technology improved, and the underglaze red porcelain was much brighter. You see, it is so bright Is the red-glazed three-fish goblet made by Xuande or imitated by officials of Kang and Yong?"
Meng Zitao said, half-heartedly: "I'm a little confused, shopkeeper Shen, where did you buy this goblet?"
"To be honest with you, I just bought this at someone else's house. I saw it was very dirty at the time, so I took it and wiped it in my hand, and then I saw three red fish. I thought the color was good, and that family It was a bit pitiful, so I bought it for 150,000 yuan."
When Meng Zitao heard this, he had an idea in his mind: "You spent money to buy this goblet because of its pitiful and bright color. I'm not going to hide it from you, when you look at official kiln porcelain, just look at the bright red color, Is the fetal glaze good? The color is different in different years. The red color of the Xuande glaze is not as good as that of the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods."
"Then can you tell whether this goblet is from Xuande, or is it from Kang, Yong or which dynasty imitated Xuande?"
"Whether it is a Kangxi imitation or a Yongzheng imitation, they are both official imitations and have value. I will give you a profit of 100,000 yuan. Can you give me the things?"
Shen Xuanzhong hesitated for a moment and said: "To be honest, it doesn't matter if I give you the things, but I spent 150,000 yuan to buy a bunch of his goods. I think this goblet is better among the things. How much can you give me?" I¡¯ll make some money, do you think I¡¯d like to add 200,000?¡±
Meng Zitao, who was younger than Shen Xuanzhong, bowed his hands and said, "Since you have mentioned it this far, I appreciate it. Three hundred and fifty thousand yuan to buy a goblet is really not cheap, but we will be here for a long time, so I will keep the things."
In fact, Meng Zitao didn¡¯t get any advantage from him. This cup is indeed not a genuine Xuande product. It should be a Kangxi official imitation.
