Chapter 390 Shengtian Banzi
"Teacher, I suggest you... take another look." Baoyou suddenly said to Zhang Yang seriously.
"Look again? After reading it ten thousand times, your thing is not right either."
Zhang Yang scratched his head at the camera, expressing that he didn't understand what Baoyou meant.
The tone of the other party's words sounded as if a gangster was advising the kidnapped person: Think carefully about what your bank card password is!
Is there anything that can be said about this Tang Sancai?
To Zhang Yang's surprise, Baoyou had no further lines and turned the camera to focus on a colorful plate on the table.
Judging from the color scheme, it should be a Tang Sancai plate.
The red and green patterns on the plate are very simple, and there are many color groups in the center of the plate. It is obviously deliberately imitating the feeling of Tang Sancai.
"What about this one?" Baoyou asked.
"It's fake, but it was also made up by the craftsmen in my childhood." Zhang Yang answered quickly and well.
Tang Sancai is a low-temperature glaze, which is often said to have a high lead content, so there are very few plates in the unearthed Tang Sancai.
Not to mention such an ugly plate.
"This kind of fabrication is simply a waste of raw materials." Zhang Yang commented.
"Okay, okay." Baoyou said three good words in a row.
Then he focused the camera on a pottery figurine shaped like a foreigner from the Western Regions.
"Where's this one?" Baoyou asked again.
"It's the same, it's also a figment of my childhood."
"There were three pieces in total, were they all bought by you at the auction?"
"Yes, but don't say it so bluntly whether it's true or not." Baoyou said in a very calm tone.
Zhang Yang smiled, as if he had already guessed what Baoyou was going to do.
Next, Baoyou displayed seven or eight Tang Sancai pieces in succession, including plates, camels, human figurines, etc.
After all these things were identified as fake by Zhang Yang, Baoyou directly took out a document.
"Yokohama Kirin Auction Co., Ltd. Lot Transaction Contract".
The contract should be for the Hu figurine from the Western Regions. The descriptor written on it is:
[This product is made of pottery, in the shape of a human figurine, with curly hair on its head. It has the characteristics of a foreigner from the Western Regions, and its face is carefully carved... The surface of the figurine is painted, and the orange clothing contrasts with the light-toned skin color, showing a flourishing The gorgeous and prosperous appearance of Tang Dynasty]
"Not bad, the words are really well written." Zhang Yang nodded in evaluation. He didn't expect that the auction company in Yokohama would be so proficient in writing Chinese appraisal words.
He is even more skilled than Master Zhang, and his professionalism is unexpectedly high.
But the most eye-catching thing is the transaction price in the contract:
"JPY 300000; RMB 14580"
And a fidelity description written later:
"This lot is guaranteed to be authentic in age. If you find a fake, you can apply for a full refund without any reason."
The official seal was stamped at the end, which was very formal.
[Only fifteen thousand? Is it so cheap? 】
[The contract looks quite formal, and it also has an official seal]
[Why is the Neon Man’s auction named Qilin? Don’t they have their own mythical beast?]
[Brothers, where can I buy it in Yokohama? I also want to participate]
"What do you say? Anchor?" Baoyou felt that he had won by taking out the contract.
"The auction may not necessarily be authentic." Zhang Yang replied calmly.
"This auction is true." Baoyou emphasized, pointing to the words on the contract.
"That's good. Have you passed the guarantee time? If you have any questions, go back as soon as possible!"
"These are all real, why are you withdrawing? Host, just because you think it's fake doesn't mean it's fake."
Baoyou answered resoundingly. If Zhang Yang hadn't seen him as a braised egg, he would have really suspected that he was here to cause trouble.
"No, no, no, you are wrong. Now I am the only one questioning your stuff. If you return it, you may lose some shipping cost;"
"When many people think your items are fake, then you return them, and they might not recognize them. It shouldn't be difficult to find a reason not to return them, right?"
In fact, Zhang Yang prefers that the auction company is no longer here.
The leather bag company will be canceled after the auction.
But I still have to give my dear friends some hope, what if?
"If you think about it carefully, should you withdraw your money now and lose a small amount of money, or should you wait until it is proven false and lose it all and suffer a big loss?"
"But we have a contract."
"Thief, you actually believe the contract of Neon Man?" Zhang Yang asked in disbelief, "Lu Xun once said that when you unconditionally believe in the contract, in fact, you have nothing else to believe."
[The anchor is spreading rumors again, right? Lu Xun never said this]
[I prove that it was Zhou Shuren who said it]
[It is not popular to borrow from Lu Xun now, why not listen to what the five-star general said]
[Come, come, MacArthur’s evaluation of Xiaoli: The more you defeat him, the more willing he is to dedicate everything to you]
"Uh..." Baoyou listened to Zhang Yang's words and looked at the barrage again, his belief suddenly became less firm.
"Okay, go return it quickly. I have to grade the next treasure friend." Zhang Yang waved his hand, indicating that the treasure friend can leave.
"Okay, I'll go find someone to take a look." Baoyou responded and added, "Then what level am I?"
"You are a hidden level, D level."
Zhang Yang smiled and hung up Lian Mai regardless of Baoyou's questioning.
When he saw the comment saying "D-level is low-level", he felt that he had to explain:
"C-level means there is no discount, and D-level means selling at a premium."
"It's not as low-level as you understand."
[I understand, D grade is pure leeks]
[I think this is very reasonable, otherwise C-level would have no advantage]
[Teacher, are foreign auctions so unreliable?]
[I also want to know if I can go to Neon to buy cultural relics]
"Someone asked if this Yokohama auction is reliable... Let's put it this way, there are two places where you should never, ever touch foreign auctions."
"One place is a neon auction, where the general price of Tang Sancai is around a few thousand yuan."
"I know some of you will think that Neon took advantage of the war to grab a lot of good things, so it's normal for the price to be lower."
"Indeed, at that time, about 2 million cultural relics from past dynasties were stolen in my childhood. There are more than 90,000 pieces in the DJ National Museum alone. However, if Tang Sancai is really so cheap, will our country's cultural relics department not take action? Don't say that. The State Administration of Cultural Heritage, I even want to buy two of them for my own museum."
"To put it bluntly, it's just because our country doesn't allow the sale of ancient cultural relics, so foreign scammers take advantage of the opportunity to sell fakes."
[This is only reasonable. How can there be such a big leak in the auction]
[I have been to an auction in Kumamoto, and the venue was not as good as the annual meeting of a small company]
[There are still good things in neon, but they are really not cheap]
[Now is a global market economy. It would be silly to just pick up the leak if you want to change places.]
[Where is the other place? I definitely wouldn’t go there when I was little]
"The other place is Singapore."
"The auctions in Po County are two extremes from those in Xiaozhi. The transaction prices of things in Po County are very expensive."
"An ordinary blue and white porcelain bowl from the Kangxi official kiln can fetch 8 million yuan."
"Normally, it's like two hundred thousand."
"As for why, the audience in the live broadcast room should understand that those auctions usually collect items from China, and the handling fee charged is the IQ tax of the people in China who want to get rich from antiques..."
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Once you feel comfortable, you have to speak clearly, otherwise there will always be people who have been deceived in the live broadcast room to judge, and it will be very uncomfortable for people to watch.
…
"Teacher, let me ask for Danmaku first. As an ordinary collector, how do you know if there is any problem with the auction?"
Zhang Yang thought about the question raised by the third graded treasurer and replied:
"First of all, check whether the auction has an official website and whether there are records of past auction items on the official website. If not, it must be a pheasant auction, so just ignore it."
"What if you have all of these?" Baoyou asked.
"Then enter the three words [Sanxingdui] in the transaction records of the auction to search for related items."
"If it had been auctioned, it could basically be considered a pheasant auction."
"Is there really an auction for the cultural relics of Sanxingdui?" Baoyou didn't seem to believe Zhang Yang's statement.
"Hehehe, you can find out by yourself."
Zhang Yang smiled and quickly got to the point: "Okay, let's take a look at your things. I feel like you have a lot of ideas, dear friend. You shouldn't buy fakes, right?"
"Buying fakes? That's probably not the case." Baoyou replied confidently, "I specialize in collecting chess and Go, and I rarely make mistakes."
"Oh? Show us?"
The last treasure friend who said he was very powerful just ran away in despair with eight fake Tang Sancai.
"Teacher, do you want to watch Go or chess first?" Baoyou asked.
"You asked me to choose? Then of course I would choose chess. The chess pieces in Go are not very attractive. The most expensive ones are the Tridacna clams."
"No, Go has a better explanation. But since you chose chess, teacher, let's look at chess first."
Baoyou sold it out.
He fixed the phone on the stand on the table and took out a small wooden box like an anchor unpacking it.
After opening it, the box contained several metal chess pieces.
Thin, like a coin.
Baoyou arranged these chess pieces on the table, namely "cannon, rook, elephant, soldier, horse, and pawn, five in total."
"These are all chess pieces from the Song Dynasty. It's a pity that we can't put together a complete set." Baoyou said, pointing to the chess pieces.
"From the Song Dynasty?"
"Here, turn them over."
Zhang Yang also studies chess.
After meeting Director Yao last time showing off his collection of Han Dynasty chess, Zhang Yang went there to check the information.
If it is really a chess piece from the Song Dynasty, there will be knowledge on the back of the chess piece.
When Baoyou turned these pieces over, the patterns on the backs were really impressive.
Behind the word "cannon", what is engraved is a little man pulling a catapult; behind the word "car" is a carriage; behind the word "elephant" is an elephant... Behind the word "horse" is a galloping horse.
"Yes, yes, it is indeed from the Song Dynasty, but these five are not a set."
"[Horse] obviously shows different wear and tear than the rest."
"I think so too, but when I came back from the Guardian, the seller said it was a set, and at that time they were still asking for money."
"Normally, there are people who pay money for chess pieces, and there are people who call chess chips. Anyway, they are all these things."
"How much did it cost to shoot?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Twenty thousand if you bring a chessboard."
While Baoyou was talking, he took out a square cloth bag from the side and pulled out a metal plate full of patina.
The soil and patina on it were very serious. Although Baoyou adjusted the lens several times, Zhang Yang could still not see clearly the lines engraved on it.
However, the item information has already appeared, it doesn’t matter whether you can see it or not.
"Okay, okay, don't bother, this is indeed a chess board."
"But it's not from the Song Dynasty. This is a chessboard from the Yuan Dynasty."
"From the Yuan Dynasty?" Baoyou took the chessboard in his hand and was silent for a while, "Teacher, you can't even see the marks on it clearly. How did you tell that it was from the Yuan Dynasty?"
"Look at the rust color." Zhang Yang replied very simply.
There were more than he could explain.
But this is usually enough. If you are a smart person, you will figure out other information on your own.
"That's it~" Baoyou suddenly realized, "I just asked why the chess pieces are not rusty, but the chessboard is so rusty."
"It turns out they are not from the same era."
"Yeah, it should be a collector's item." Zhang Yang nodded in agreement, and added, "Twenty thousand is not a loss, and the current price should be quite easy to sell."
The chess collection is absolutely unpopular in the domestic antique circle.
But after all, chess itself is a chess sport with high national popularity, and there is actually no shortage of potential buyers. On the contrary, there are very few old antique chess pieces, and most of the time they are priced but not marketable.
"Actually, I lost money. I bought this in 2015." Baoyou said with some embarrassment, "The money was worth more then than it is now."
"But it doesn't matter. I didn't plan to sell it, so I just keep it and pass it on. This kind of chess piece is no longer available in the market."
[This brother’s mentality deserves recognition, but his collection is average]
[It has been eight years since 2015, and my mentality must have been tempered]
[I feel like this brother can be rated as A-level]
After Baoyou finished speaking, he took out another brown wooden box.
This time it was a complete set of chess pieces carved from boxwood.
In fact, just looking at the appearance, it is similar to the chess played by the old man in the park.
Baoyou said that you have to touch the chess pieces and feel the feel of the boxwood to understand the power of this chess set.
"I spent 30,000 yuan to buy this. Teacher, do you think it's worth it?"
Zhang Yang thought for a while and replied: "It's barely worth it, but it will be difficult to increase the value in the future."
"Things from the Qing Dynasty that are not for imperial use are difficult to sell at a high price."
Next, Baoyou took out two sets of chess sets made of completely different materials.
They are modern ceramics and modern Afghan jade.
It's quite nice to look at, but it's just a change in material, not like the chess from the Song Dynasty, or any difference from the chess you see in daily life.
"Why don't we just fast forward to Go? Suddenly I feel like there's nothing more to say about chess." Baoyou said in a somewhat depressed tone.
"Hahaha, okay." Zhang Yang completely agreed with Baoyou, "Just look at the best and most valuable ones."
"Looking at the current level of chess collection, I can only give you a B level."
"Okay, then I'll start serving the hard food."
Baoyou solemnly took out two jade Go jars from a large brocade box and introduced: "These are topaz Go jars from the Han Dynasty. They contain white jade and black jade Go pieces."
"Pfft~" The moment Zhang Yang saw the Go can, he burst out laughing.
He made a "C" gesture directly towards the camera.
