Meng Zitao repeated the content and said, "It's just that the source of the content on this snuff bottle is not clearly stated, so the authenticity is still open to question."
Seeing that Yue Shouzheng was in better condition, Meng Zitao simply took out his snuff bottle and said in a joking tone: "Mr. Yue, please don't get excited for a while, otherwise my sin will be great."
"Haha, don't worry, I can control my emotions very well now." Yue Shouzheng smiled and took the snuff bottle. After controlling his emotions, he used an endoscope to observe the content recorded on the piece of ivory in the bottle.
After reading the content, Yue Shouzheng was both happy and a little regretful: "Finally, I have new evidence to prove my point of view. It's a pity that I don't know who left this text!"
"Don't worry about it. The ambulance has arrived. Let's go to the hospital." The old lady said impatiently.
"Come, I'll help you walk."
Meng Zitao helped Yue Shouzheng get into the ambulance. Because Yue Shouzheng's children could not arrive yet, he also went to the hospital to help.
After all the busy work, Yue Shouzheng was admitted to the ward, and his children also arrived one after another anxiously.
"You can come later, and Jiaqi, why don't you come later? It's just in time for dinner, how nice!" The old lady was very dissatisfied with her children coming so late.
Yue Jiaqi was very embarrassed when her mother said: "Mom, I didn't mean it. When you called me, I was at the airport. This was my fastest speed."
"Huh! Anyway, you are all right." The old lady muttered, and then said: "If Zi Tao hadn't been here today, your dad would have been in trouble."
Yue Shouzheng¡¯s children quickly expressed their gratitude to Meng Zitao.
Meng Zitao smiled and said: "It's okay, I happen to know a little bit of knowledge in this area. And Mr. Yue is an elder I respect, so it is absolutely necessary to help."
After being polite, Yue Xiliang asked his mother why his father had a heart attack. So the old lady explained the cause and effect, which made the two children particularly angry.
Yue Xiliang said angrily: "Hou Yiming is a shameless beast, to the point where even calling him a beast is flattering him."
Yue Jiaqi said angrily: "This kind of person should be given some color!"
"You two, keep your voices down." The old lady pointed at Yue Shouzheng, who had just fallen asleep due to exhaustion.
Yue Shouzheng opened his eyes and said, "You two go look for him separately. If a dog bites you, can you bite it back? From now on, just treat him as if you have met him before."
Yue Xiliang didn't say much, and decided in his heart that he would teach Hou Yiming a profound lesson if he had the opportunity in the future.
In order to let Yue Shou have a good rest, Meng Zitao offered to leave. However, Yue Xiliang insisted that Meng Zitao eat before leaving. Meng Zitao was too kind to refuse, so he could only agree.
The old lady wanted to accompany Yue Shouzheng, so the brother and sister would accompany Meng Zitao to dinner. Because of family ties, Yue Xiliang also liked collecting antiques, so she and Meng Zitao had endless topics to talk about.
Yue Jiaqi, on the other hand, was not interested in antiques at all. Seeing her brother talking so happily to Meng Zitao, she couldn't help but say: "After so many years, I don't even know what this antique is about, which makes you and dad so obsessed with it. "
Yue Xiliang smiled and said: "Then what do you think is wrong with antiques?"
Yue Jiaqi said: "Look at you and dad. Every time you get something good, you spend all your time researching it. You don't know what's good to study. Dad's heart disease is probably caused by staying up late!"
Yue Xiliang waved his hand: "This is a hobby, you won't understand."
"That's what you'd say!" Yue Jiaqi curled her lips and asked Meng Zitao, "Teacher Meng, can you tell me what this antique is for?"
¡°This is a good question. Many people don¡¯t know what antiques are. To explain clearly, we must first know the meaning of the word ¡®antiques¡¯.¡±
Meng Zitao talked eloquently: "The most basic and important definition here is 'ancient'. It is an ancient relic, not modern or modern. If something over 100 years old can be called an ancient relic, then by rough calculation, it must be at least late. Only items from the early Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China can be included in the antique series. Of course, 'ancient' alone is not complete, there is also a necessary prerequisite, and that is 'play', which means something to play with and play with."
¡°Now that we know the meaning of ¡®antiques¡¯, we can basically understand what ¡®antiques¡¯ are about. First of all, due to natural reasons, antiques can be preserved. The wise saying is that rare things are valuable. Investing in antiques can not only preserve their value, but also preserve their value. It can increase in value. If you buy it for 20,000 yuan, you can resell it for 30,000 yuan. This is an elegant way to make money.Money methods can be called Confucian businessmen. Making money does not smell like copper. "
"Secondly, if you want to make money with antiques, you must develop a sharp eye. Think about it, among the numerous imitations, you can tell the authenticity, quality and inferiority of the antiques at a glance, tell the dynasty, and provide the basis for identification and It¡¯s such a sense of accomplishment to be able to point out the ins and outs so clearly and clearly that everyone around you will give a thumbs up and look at you with admiration.¡±
"The next step is the sense of ownership. I have what others don't have. Various works of art and cultural relics that have survived for hundreds or thousands of years are extremely rare. Others don't have them, but I have them! Tea cups from the Tang and Song Dynasties, tea cups from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties When you are interested in painting, you can look at it and touch it when you want. Playing is the feeling of doing whatever you want and having it yourself."
"The last one is like Mr. Yue, who appreciates the cultural and artistic content contained in ancient objects. An antique must contain rich information about the ancestors, such as their food, clothing, housing and transportation, customs and habits, ideals and beliefs, pursuits of the times, etc. As well as their understanding and grasp of life, society, nature, etc., these can all be reflected in antiques.¡±
¡°To sum up, ¡®money¡¯, ¡®eyesight¡¯, ¡®possession¡¯ and ¡®information¡¯, these four points are the four reasons why we people love ¡®antiques¡¯ so much.¡±
Yue Xiliang couldn't help but applaud after a well-founded explanation. He was so happy that he stood up and toasted Meng Zitao with a glass of wine: "He is an expert after all, and what he talks about is good. Little sister, this time you There¡¯s nothing left to say.¡±
Yue Jiaqi rolled her eyes at him: "Humph! It seems that I was opposed to your collecting in the past. As for why I often talk about you, don't you know the reason?"
Yue Xiliang waved his hand: "I know, this happened a few years ago. I was fooled once, and I can still be fooled a second time."
Four years ago, Yue Shouzheng and his son went to the countryside to collect goods, but they did not expect to encounter a trap. The other party was a man with evil intentions. If Yue Shouzheng had not seen the opportunity, and the fiber puller who went with them had some skills, he might have been kidnapped. .
Yue Jiaqi didn¡¯t really like antiques to begin with, but because of this incident, she didn¡¯t like them even more.
Yue Xiliang told Meng Zitao what happened at the time, and said: "Speaking of which, it was precisely because of this incident that I became friends with the guy who did the slimming, and I got a lot of good things from him, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Teacher Meng, What kind of antiques do you like? Do you want me to ask him for you, and I will let you know if there are any suitable ones."
Meng Zitao's heart moved and he said, "I've been studying cloisonn¨¦ enamel recently. I wonder if he has any fine products?"
"What kind of boutique?"
"It's probably worth more than a million."
"Such an item may be difficult to find. Let me call you and ask."
"sorry to bother you."
"Hi, it's just a small thing."
Just as he said, Yue Xiliang immediately called his friend. After some pleasantries, he mentioned Meng Zitao's request. After the other party was silent for a moment, he said that he had received news the day before yesterday that the collector might have something in his possession. Meng Zitao wanted something, but he couldn't guarantee whether it would be there or not.
Antiques trading is like this. Even if the seller has only half the chance of having the collection he wants, he still has to make a trip. Otherwise, missing the treasure may be a lifelong regret.
After coming out of the hotel, Yue Xiliang asked Meng Zitao to pick up his friend in his car. The reason was simple. If you drive a luxury car to receive goods, it is easy for the seller to ask for an exorbitant price.
Yue Xiliang¡¯s friend¡¯s name is Li Jing, a name that everyone is familiar with. He has a very delicate face. For a man in his forties, he doesn¡¯t even look thirty-five.
Li Jing was very polite when he saw Meng Zitao. On the way, he told Meng Zitao about the owner Ji Wugu.
Anyone who dealt with antiques in the 1980s basically knows that cultural relics stores in the capital would buy ancient porcelain for export. However, at that time, they only accepted porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, not those from before Qianlong, because they were cultural relics and were not allowed to be exported.
At that time, when I went to the delivery point to deliver goods, there would be a long queue in front of the door, because the items purchased every day were limited, and each item cost ten yuan. What was the concept of ten yuan in the early 1980s? At that time, the per capita salary was only a hundred yuan, and people's awareness of collecting was not strong at that time. They didn't have enough to eat, so how could they care about collecting? Now cultural relics stores are willing to spend ten yuan. If one thing is for sale, can there not be too many people selling it?
Ji Wugu, whom Li Jing mentioned, is one of them. He buys porcelain that meets the requirements from rural areas for a few cents or a few yuan, and then carefully delivers it to the purchasing point for sale. Because people are willing to endure hardship, they can still make some money.
Moreover, Ji Wugu was a smart man. He often studied the items he acquired and tried his best to find out the true value of the items. Finally, he found that he could earn more by selling the items to Xiangjiang than he did now, so he found a way to acquire himself. The porcelain was sold to Xiangjiang through others.
It was also Ji Wugu's fate. He did not think that doing this kind of business would be illegal. As a result, during a sale, he also sold a national treasure to a Xiangjiang businessman, so he was caught and spent several years in prison.
After coming out, Ji Wugu didn¡¯t return to the business until the domestic antique market improved. However, because of what happened before, he was timid and chose people when doing business. Only those introduced by acquaintances could receive his reception.
The reason why Li Jing introduced it in such detail was because he wanted Meng Zitao not to say anything wrong, so as not to cause misunderstanding. In addition, Ji Wugu still has a lot of good things in his hand, it depends on whether he is willing to take them out.
