“Let’s eat first! Let me think about it. This Chenghua doucai chicken bowl cup some broken, can be worth how much money I can not touch, everyone eat first ……”

See the point of the dishes are up Zhuang Rui hastened to greet a few people to eat, this Miao Fei Fei appearance looks a little soft, actually is also a gourmand, point of the dishes are not expensive, with fine materials of the famous dishes, alone this Yangtze River spring swordfish, a are worth a lot of money, not to mention the shark’s fins and bird’s nest soup, that are counted according to the cup of money.

“Song Huan, you eat too! It’s the time to grow your body, it’s okay to eat more, I’ll go out and make a phone call first.”

Zhuang Rui saw Song Huan sitting beside himself, his eyes staring at the dishes on the table, but he was a little embarrassed to put down his chopsticks, greeted him with a smile, stood up and walked out of the box, took out his cell phone and dialed Uncle Te’s number.

“Hey, Xiao Zhuang ah! What’s the matter with calling my old man on this big weekend, do you want to help me with my shift?”

Uncle De’s cheerful voice from the cell phone came out, the pawnshop is also open on weekends, but Uncle De see Zhuang Rui just arrived in Zhonghai, intends to let him rest for two days, just today there is an old friend from abroad to visit himself, Zhuang Rui’s set of alabaster tea set just came in handy.

“Uncle De, I strolled with a friend to the City God Temple today, and saw a Chenghua doucai chicken jar cup, you old have no interest ……?”

“I’m not interested, Xiao Zhuang, this Chenghua Doucai rarely strayed into the folk, you see the object, it must be fake, don’t waste your mind more, have fun for two days, come to work the day after tomorrow.”

Uncle De did not wait for Zhuang Rui words finished, will interrupt it off, Chenghua Doucai in the Palace Museum have not been able to retain a few pieces, that is casually go to the City God Temple to stroll around can run into?

“Don’t, Uncle Tak, you don’t hang up the phone first, I give you to say, this object in all likelihood is true, from the glaze, shape, ornamentation, style, and the authenticity of the general, your old first look and say it!” Zhuang Rui heard Uncle Te had the intention of hanging up the phone. Hurriedly praised the chicken bowl cup.

“You this brat only played a few days of porcelain, to my old man to show off? I tell you, Chenghua chicken bowl cup is the most later generations of imitation, especially the Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong these three dynasties, many imitations are almost can be fake to the real, if you can be seen, those who fake has long been mixed up.”

Uncle Te laughed and scolded Zhuang Rui on the phone, but he heard Zhuang Rui so sure, the heart is also some hesitation, then said: “But if these dynasties of the official kiln imitations, but also worth a little money, how much does the stall owner sell ah?”

“Uncle De, that stall owner is a friend of mine, you may have seen, that is, I will be hospitalized in that nurse Song, her family suffered some difficulties, which put the ancestral objects out for sale, definitely not antique market those followers of the child under the set.” Zhuang Rui heard Uncle De loosened up, quickly put the origin of this object said out, but also put their own want to help Nurse Song a mean, to Uncle De said a little.

“It’s such a thing ah! How about this! Xiao Zhuang, you will bring them to the company in a while, I will take a look at the things before saying, if it is true, then it will be a steal, don’t need to be afraid of not being able to sell it.”

Uncle Te pondered for a while on the other end of the phone, or decided to take a look at the stuff first, his appraisal level of Zhuang Rui, like Zhuang Rui’s driving level of Viagra in general, is really not very trustworthy.

“OK, Uncle Te, it’s a deal! I’ll be there in a while.”

Zhuang Rui hung up the cell phone, heart put down a big stone, although he Song Xingjun siblings made a promise, but with his network, unless to find Yang Wei’s old man, otherwise really do not know where to sell, now uncle De promised to give eyes, then there is absolutely no problem, as for the authenticity of this cup, Zhuang Rui that is not the slightest worry.

After returning to the box, Song Xingjun siblings have a mind to eat not a lot, but Miao Fei Fei heartless will eat two swordfish left fish spines, Zhuang Rui sat down and ate a bowl of rice, slightly apologetic to Miao Fei Fei said: “Miao Gege, this afternoon can not accompany you to go shopping. I’m going to go back to the pawn shop and take this object to the master teacher.”

As Zhuang Rui spoke, he saw Song Xingjun’s siblings’ faces change for a moment, and hurriedly added, “All of you siblings are coming with me, I’m doing this for the sake of insurance, as long as this Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cylinder Cup is real, I guarantee that I can sell it for a good price.”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Song Xingjun nodded her head, although she knew that Zhuang Rui was quite loyal, but this involves hundreds of thousands of amount of things, if it is rashly handed over to Zhuang Rui, not to mention that his brother will not agree, even he himself will not feel at ease.

“I’ll go with you guys, I have nothing to do in these few days of vacation anyway.”

Miao Fei Fei also want to follow to get together, this stall to find a Chenghua Doucai cocktail cup, if it is true, the future back to Beijing, in front of buddies and sisters, that is also a talking point ah!

“Then let’s go together!”

See a few people have eaten almost, Zhuang Rui went out to buy a single, this meal actually ate him more than five thousand dollars, it seems that this five-star hotels, is really not the average person can get into the starting point.

“Xiao Zhuang, this is Boss Cheng. Specialized in playing chicken blood stone, also my old friend, you guys get closer.” After Zhuang Rui brought the three to the pawn shop, he directly knocked on Uncle De’s office, inside, besides Uncle De, there was also an old man in his sixties, when he saw Zhuang Rui come in, Uncle De gave the two an introduction.

“I play these can not be on the stage, old brother, you do not laugh at me, but I heard that Xiao Zhuang manager today encountered a piece of treasure, take it out to us to open our eyes!”

Boss Cheng had just heard Uncle De say. This young small Zhuang manager in the city temple plucked a piece of Chenghua Doucai, not to mention uncle De do not believe, is with the porcelain is not very understanding of the Cheng boss, that is also not believe.

Zhuang Rui heard from the hands of Song Huan took over the two objects, the outside of the newspaper after opening, will be the Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup on the coffee table, as for the brush pot, Zhuang Rui and casually handed back to Song Huan, he used the aura viewed, although the brush pot carving is good, but there is not the slightest aura, it should be a modern handicrafts.

“Hehe, this is not in good condition! Who repaired it? Isn’t this simply a spoiled contraption?”

Uncle De will be Zhuang Rui on the coffee table of the chicken bowl cup picked up, after playing a circle, saw the mouth of the cup broken place, the eyebrows can not help but wrinkled up, according to reason is not the whole phase of the expensive porcelain, only repair good, its price is also high, but this object first regardless of authenticity, this repair process, simply is miserable.

“De uncle, this first put aside, you first look at this thing, in the end is not Chenghua Doucai.”

Zhuang Rui’s words so that Uncle De again put the attention on the cocktail cup, the face of the expression also slowly changed, from the previous carelessness became serious up, and then took the cocktail cup quickly walked to his desk, the table above a strong light to open, and from the drawer took out a magnifying glass, carefully looked up.

In addition to Zhuang Rui, a few other people are holding their breath, nervously looking at the appraisal of Uncle Te, the Cheng boss is a face of incredulity, can let Uncle Te have such a performance, even if the cup is not Chenghua Doucai. That is also certainly a precious antique.

“Good, good thing, alas, pity, pity ah!”

After a full more than ten minutes, Uncle De turned off the strong light, walked back to his sandalwood coffee table, carefully placed the cup in his hand on the coffee table, his eyes full of regret.

“Uncle De, this is true or false, you give a precise letter ah!” Zhuang Rui is pretending to understand.

“It’s a real Chenghua Doucai, just this character, a pity ah! If this is not bumped, just a small cup, now auction out, at least can be worth 30 million.” Uncle Te looked at this chicken jar cup shook his head, sorry.

“Uncle Te, how much can this cup be sold for now? This friend of mine is in a hurry to use the money.” Zhuang Rui knew that Song Xingjun’s siblings were most concerned about this issue, so he asked.

“Now this quality, tsk tsk, if it goes to auction, eighty to one million RMB, if our circle collects it, around half a million.” Uncle De smacked his mouth, seemingly dissatisfied with the price he uttered.

“It can be sold for that much?”

Song Huan on the side grew his mouth in surprise, thirty million dollars was something he had never thought of, he would be satisfied if he could exchange it for three hundred thousand dollars.

“You are lucky, ran into a small Zhuang, and the City God Temple that place has not produced a few good things, the old players to go less, or this chicken jar cup really by you three hundred thousand sold words, little guy, have you regret the time.”

Uncle De paused and then said: “If this let me encounter, three hundred thousand is also considered to pick up a leak, by the way, to tell you a story to listen to, that is, about this chicken jar cup, that is before the liberation of things. Seems to be 1939, Beijing Qianmen Street, Xianghe Cheng hanging goods store shopkeeper Wang Denchen, to Shandong Huangxian acquisition of old goods. One day, he saw a middle-aged woman in a courtyard combing hair on the table there is a small cup with soapnut water, colorful. He couldn’t help but walk in and ask the woman to take the cup out for a look.”

“That cup is 11 centimeters high, the caliber is about 5 centimeters, the production is fine, is a real Chenghua Doucai. He then wanted to buy it, and when the woman saw that he really wanted it, she opened a big mouth and asked for one piece of present ocean. At that time, buy an acre of land as long as 30 pieces of present ocean, which know WangDiChen did not say, out of a piece of cast Sun yat-sen statue of the ocean to her.”

Wang Dinchen returned to Beijing, rushed with the fellows together with the valuation, bucket up the courage to set a 800 yang, that is, 800 times higher than the purchase price.

This thing up not two days, was Jian Gu Zhai boss Zhou Jiechen saw, immediately and Wang Denchen discussed the price.

At that time, Wang Danchen put on a big-sleeved coat, just like you see on TV, Jian Gu Zhai Zhou Jiechen put his hand into Wang Danchen sleeve, Wang Danchen stretched out an eight gesture, Zhou Jiechen asked: “ten, hundred, thousand?” Wang replied, “Hundred,” and Zhou withdrew his hand and said, “I’ll take it.”

The words, Wang Tenchen understood at once, the price opened small, was picked up by the insiders, but has earned 799 yuan, but also satisfied.

Zhou Jiechen home to carefully appreciate that small cup, really is the best Chenghua Doucai. Styling light and beautiful, delicate and pure tire, white glaze glistening as fat, soft color, painting is a squirrel stealing grapes. Fruit and leaves and lush, fine painting, lifelike. Such a treasure, only spent 800 yuan to hand, how not happy?

Antiques in the line of peers, all know Zhou Jiechen got a good thing, but who also refused to pay a high price to buy. Finally Zhou Jiechen found Wu Wu company Wu Qi Zhou, Wu only 3500 yuan, after bargaining to add to 4000 yuan, Zhou Jiechen a hand-over earned 3200 yuan, of course, happy can not say. Which know Wu Qi Zhou later to pour the cup to the United States, profit more than 10,000 yuan, Zhou Jiechen realized that he was picked up by others leakage is even greater.

“So like the Chenghua Doucai such a rare porcelain, as long as it is true, that the price is no spectrum, take today’s chicken bowl cup, if it is in perfect condition, little guy you open price of 300,000 yuan, then others out of 3 million or 9 million to buy, or equal to pick up a big leak.”

“Uncle De, then Song Huan took this thing to the antique store, how come those people are only willing to bid 30 or 50 thousand, they won’t be able to see that this is a Chenghua Doucai, right?” Zhuang Rui asked the question in Song Huan’s mind.

Uncle De looked at Zhuang Rui a glance, full of disdain, said: “they know a fart, not to mention the real pieces of Chenghua Doucai, those people even Chenghua Doucai broken pieces have not seen, at best, played with the Qing Dynasty imitations, it is assumed that they take this as a time when the imitation, can give three to five million price, has been very good, on the character, even if it is the Qing Dynasty’s official kiln! Imitations, hold up the sky is also worth a hundred thousand.”

The crowd only suddenly realized, the original this Chenghua Doucai imitations have been famous to the fake to the real, this real object in front of those people, but no one knows.

“Uncle De, you see how to deal with this chicken jar cup is good?”

Zhuang Rui could see the anxious look of Song Xingjun’s siblings, and also understood that these two people’s mind, they both wanted to exchange this cup for cash earlier, for saving their father’s life.

“Two ways, the first is directly to the auction, to my relationship with the auction house, it is estimated that can be arranged within a week to open auction, the price, that is what I just said, eighty to one hundred and twenty million yuan, deducted from the auction house’s pre-publicity and fifteen percent commission, you get your hands on it should be in the seventy to one million or so. The second way, the time consuming to be a little longer, the old man I have a little bit of heart to repair porcelain, you can repair this cup, then the auction price is estimated to increase to about two million, but the fastest half a month to do, this repair porcelain is a fine work. These two methods, you can choose one! I suggest to wait for a few days, after the repair is completed and then take it to the auction, I am looking at the face of Xiao Zhuang ah! You guys think about it.”

Uncle De’s words made Song Xingjun’s siblings somewhat hesitant, standing up and walking to the door to discuss.
