Chapter 0609 – Swords (III)

Zhuang Rui didn’t take the risk of using his aura to inspect it right away, but pulled out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands, picked up a Japanese sword in its sheath that was closest to his body, and carefully played with it.

This appreciation of antiques, the hands-on experience is very important, Mr. Jin’s teacher, Zhuang Rui once met the master of the state once said: “I can point out the authenticity of a certain piece of antiques, because I know where the real, and I have seen, see more, the real and the fake will be able to distinguish.”

This passage of the master can show that with rich hands-on experience, sometimes it is natural to feel the real and the fake, because there is no such heavy sense of historical vicissitudes on the fake objects, of course, these subtleties are not appreciated by newcomers who have just entered the profession.

Zhuang Rui now holding this samurai sword, is a typical Japanese sword style, Zhuang Rui even the sheath compared, the length of the knife with handle, almost in one meter seven or so, from the ground all the way to their shoulders.

Samurai sword exterior decoration is gorgeous, sheath buckle, are pure silver inlaid, the side of the sheath, carved with samurai characters, flowers, insects and birds.

The pattern of the figures on the top of the sheath was already a bit blurred, and it seemed to have been played with a lot, grinding it a bit hard to recognize.

And on the other side of the sheath, it is carved this pattern, above a Japanese woman undressing broadband, flavorful, of course, look in Zhuang Rui’s eyes is flirty incomparable.

“Grandma, the island has always been this tradition ah!”

From the style of this samurai sword, should be the 15th century Toyotomi Hideyoshi that era, preserved five or six hundred years, if this sword is real, that is really valuable.

“Swish” sound, Zhuang Rui pulled out the katana a few inches long and short, immediately a flash of bright light into the eyes, the body of the sword is the famous plane broken section compound dark light pattern, looks extremely delicate.

“This friend, what do you think of this sword?”

Although it feels like a real thing, but Zhuang Rui is not much of a researcher on this kind of object, at that moment, he closed the knife into the sheath, and was ready to use his aura to check it out, just when he was about to look at it, he was interrupted by someone.

Zhuang Rui looked up with some displeasure, and saw a tall young man standing in front of him, dressed in fashionable clothes, and holding a samurai sword in his hand.

After seeing the knife in the hands of that person, Zhuang Rui realized that his side of the store owner’s so-called real objects, basically all are samurai swords, I do not know where he plucked out, could it be that the samurai swords captured by fighting the devils back in the day, all were collected by him?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui heart to the hands of this knife, produced a trace of doubt, things are perverse must be evil, a lot of things that do not seem to be and common sense, have their roots.

“I’m sorry, I’ll do a self-introduction first, my compound surname Huangfu, single name a cloud word, collection of antique swords and knives for several years, used to play abroad, rarely and domestic counterparts to communicate, very hope to be able to recognize you ……”

Seeing Zhuang Rui half a day did not take care of himself, Huangfu hastily made a self-introduction.

“Hello, my name is Zhuang Rui, although I also like to collect, but not to play with swords, if other objects can still exchange, if it is a sword, I do not dare to offer ah!”

As the saying goes, reach out without smiling, this called Huangfu Yun so polite, Zhuang Rui is also embarrassed to be cold-faced, at that moment also said his name.

When the two were conversing, that boss had been standing by the side, not knowing for what reason, that boss came over and opened his mouth, “Two of you, you guys chat first, I’m going to make a phone call.”

“Boss Tu, you go ahead and get busy, we’ll take a look for ourselves first.”

Huangfu and this boss looked familiar and waved his hand without caring, while Zhuang Rui was looking at the chubby boss with a slightly deeper meaning, could this be a joint set up?

In the antique line under the set of maneuvers, that is more than enough, the child pretending to be a customer pretending to be an expert, to guide others to buy fake things, such a set has been rare, the reason is that the technique is too low.

However, Zhuang Rui see this Huangfu to not like to do, because he is too young, from the face, I’m afraid than their own but also a few years young it, this is generally the trustees can be old and cunning, so young it is difficult to town the scene.

“Huangfu brother, how long have you played this line ah?”

Zhuang Rui casually and in front of this person chatting up, you do not look at this small talk, there is also pay attention to, connoisseurs can be in a few words, to understand your origin origin, and can be extended to you to come up with the object, but these with a little jianghu means.

Although Zhuang Rui is not versed in this way, but the other side is more like a novice, a few words to chat down, Zhuang Rui is clear about the other side of the set of origins, is really not a trust.

It turned out that this Huangfu cloud or Beijing University graduates, and age than Zhuang Rui also older than a few years, just looks younger.

Huangfu cloud after graduating from undergraduate school went abroad to graduate school, he read is a law major, in foreign countries to do a few years of lawyers, in a foreign auction, saw the ancient Chinese sword, was attracted at that time.

Later, Huangfu Yun spent tens of thousands of dollars to the antique sword shot down, from then on a hair and out of control, completely obsessed with the collection of antique swords, whether it is domestic or foreign, he has collected.

According to the words of Huangfu Yun, he is now preparing to publish a book, want to write a book on the domestic sword collection, which is indeed also a blank in the domestic antique book.

“Brother Huangfu, then you see …… these samurai swords, is it true or false?”

After two people chat, Zhuang Rui on the lawyer is very good sense, at least others out of the country with a green card, that is also a green skin red heart, thinking of foreign treasure to the domestic handle, than those who smuggle cultural relics traffickers much stronger.

“Oh, according to my opinion, this is a group of Japanese Toyota Hideyoshi era of samurai sword, according to the boss here, is a family from Japan to collect, credibility is very high, I bought two some time ago, the boss here to the goods, I’m here to look at the again.”

Huangfu Yun also grew up with smooth sailing, grew up and created his own business, so when he spoke, he was very confident, almost asserting that all these swords are real objects undoubtedly.

Zhuang Rui shook his head weakly and unnoticeably, when he had doubts just now, he used his aura to check this batch of samurai swords, and the result made Zhuang Rui very surprised, these swords are all fakes, and the structure inside the swords, are all mechanically pressed out, and then reforged and polished out the pattern, and made old.

Do this batch of samurai sword people, should also be a connoisseur, the history of the Japanese sword style research is very deep, at least Zhuang Rui did not use the aura to look at the time, but also has looked away, if he is a collection of sword players, maybe will go out and buy a handful of.

“Brother Huangfu, how much did you pay for the two swords?” Zhuang Rui spoke up and asked.

Huangfu Yun looked around, lowered his voice, whispered: “Two half a million, originally this boss bid a hand to be half a million, and then was I speak down, Zhuang old brother, you stay if you fancy, let’s give him again to pressure the price, perhaps also cheaper …… ”

Zhuang Rui looked at this face of good intentions of the buddy, very difficult to swallow a mouthful of water to the stomach, asked: “Two …… half a million yuan?”

Grandma land, although buddy you earn the American knife, that can not be such a waste of money ah! This knife? Two fifty dollars Zhuang Rui may still buy, hanging in the home is at least a decoration, but half a million? That’s only when Zhuang Rui’s head is in the clouds, then he may buy it down, right?

“Yes, this kind of 15th century samurai sword survives very little, in an auction in New York last year, almost the same one samurai sword, auctioned for eighteen hundred thousand dollars, the quality is not as good as here, fortunately I didn’t catch up with that auction, otherwise it would be a big loss.”

Huangfu Yun a look of celebration, look Zhuang Rui is crying and laughing, buddy you might as well spend that 180,000 dollars, how will not be more than to buy these two modern craft forged broken sword disturbing it?

“Brother Huangfu ……”

Zhuang Rui was about to pick out a few faults of this knife to speak out of the time, suddenly saw that the store owner walked out the back door, and hastily changed his words: “I’m not really very knowledgeable about the sword class of curiosities, just outside the casually bought two play, see the name of the store just come in to turn, you do not need to refer to my opinion, you like it … … …”

Are in Panjiayuan mixed meals, Zhuang Rui absolutely can not say these things are really false, otherwise smashing people’s rice bowls is a taboo, this boss although now do not know Zhuang Rui, but in the future there may be a day to recognize, Zhuang Rui do not want to make an enemy to be missed.

However, Zhuang Rui is still very subtle hints Huangfu cloud a sentence, antiques line often say a sentence: they like on the line, this is generally to comfort those who pay tuition eye, this Huangfu cloud if the enlightenment is high enough, it is not allowed to be able to hear out.

Zhuang Rui words just finished, the pocket phone suddenly rang, Zhuang Rui took out the phone, to Huangfu Yun and the shopkeeper greeted, leisurely out to answer the phone.

I can say all said, Huangfu Yun if you fall for it again, I’m afraid that the loss is not five hundred thousand, there are at least seven or eight samurai swords, small two million may not be able to fight.

The phone is Zhao Hanxuan called, listening to the monkey said Zhuang Rui came to Panjiayuan, the old Zhao is very dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui this kind of over the door but not into the practice, called over and complained a few times, until Zhuang Rui said that this will go over, that side only hung up the phone.

“Zhuang old brother, Zhuang old brother, slow down, walk slowly ah! Wait for me ……”

Zhuang Rui just squeezed into the crowd, he heard Huangfu Yun’s voice coming from later, looking back, the dude just walked out of the store with both hands empty.
