Chapter 914 Teaching Test
And today we are here to solve the problem, everyone is in this posture, Zhou Zhi can only laugh and say: "Sorry for the trouble, Manager Zhang. Logically speaking, you should consider yourself unlucky if you have your eyes opened, but my brother-in-law We are just laymen, the cultural relics store is now a state-owned enterprise, and we can no longer deal with those old principles, so we have the nerve to come over and even out the price difference, and the matter is over. "
Manager Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "Our general manager said that Mr. Zhou is not very old, but he is a good person and will not embarrass us too much. Thank you, thank you."
"You're welcome , let’s take a look.”
Up to the second floor, Manager Zhang led Zhou Zhi and Tao Ming to a side hall with the door closed: “Please sit down, I’ll make tea.”
Tao Ming looked at the room and furnishings as if he were entering the Grand View Garden with Grandma Liu, and whispered to Zhou Zhi: "Elbow, is this a real VIP hall?"
"Brother-in-law, you know your stuff. "Zhou Zhi smiled.
"Hey, what kind of person do I know?" Tao Ming looked around: "The furnishings here are very elegant! It's completely different from the one who received me."
"That thing Let’s not mention it,” Zhou Zhi warned in a low voice.
“Yes, yes…”
After a while, Manager Zhang made three cups and brought them over. Then he asked someone to bring three boxes. He took out the contents one by one and placed them on the table: "Mr. Zhou, these are our sincerity. Take a look. Do you think it’s appropriate?”
Zhou Zhi picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea: "Manager Zhang, you are so polite. The Tongzhi plate my brother-in-law took, even if the internal price is 5,000, it cannot be less. The remaining one is 45,000. The one on this table Things, it would be bad if the premium is too high ?”
Manager Zhang said with a smile: “Manager Fei told us to just show sincerity. He said that Mr. Zhou is an expert and you have room for everything, so I’ll leave everything to you.”< br>
“Then what if I Pack up everything on the table and take it away without paying a penny."
Manager Zhang's smile stiffened, and then he smiled bitterly: "That's okay, at most, my performance this year will be enough. It’s all in vain.”
Zhou Zhi also laughed: "I was just joking with Manager Zhang. I put three things on the table as soon as I came up. I thought you were going to test my eyesight."
Manager Zhang said with some embarrassment He smiled and said: "No, I don't dare to mean that..."
Zhou Zhi then put down the tea bowl and carefully looked at the three pieces of porcelain one by one. Come, and then said with a smile: "What Manager Zhang means is that we can pick any of the things on the table and take them away. Am I understanding correctly?"
"Yes."
There are three large plates on the table. They are all large diameter plates decorated with lotus flowers. At first glance, they are almost identical. Only when you look closely will you find that there are many differences in details.
"Are you saying you're not testing me?" Zhou Zhi then reached out to pick up the first plate and fiddled with it for a while. When Manager Zhang's appetite was whetted, he smiled and said: "The foreign trade handicrafts produced in Jingdezhen in 1952 are too fine. The glaze is too clear, the glass is too bright, and the blue color is too It’s painted with cobalt and it’s newer than the one my brother-in-law got a few days ago. We don’t need to look at it, right?” Next, he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou can distinguish Tongzhi The deposit is definitely not a problem for you. If you throw this away, you won’t lose.”
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “I’ll give you a courtesy, then I’ll choose.”
"Please."
Zhou Then he turned over the remaining two plates: "It's easy to handle if they are all six-character seal scripts. Both seal scripts have delicate brushstrokes, neat calligraphy, excellent glaze, and green hair color. However, the skill of calligraphy and the proficiency of brushstrokes are not." Same.”
After finishing speaking, he pointed to a plate: "This is a veteran." Then he pointed to another plate: "This one has more blue color caused by accumulated glaze in the place where the pen is transferred. It is commonly known as 'match head' in the jargon. This It is caused by the writer becoming cautious and slowing down when writing in these places. Therefore, although the two models seem to be similar, one is written with natural and smooth writing, while the other is written with sluggishness and excessive caution in some areas that are easy to make mistakes. It is obvious that he is not skilled enough and is trying to imitate. "
“For People who know calligraphy can understand this deposit at a glance."
"I've learned a lesson." Manager Zhang said, "Can Mr. Zhou help us determine which period it belongs to? What?”
“In the middle and late Qianlong period, orange peel began to appear on blue and white porcelain. Grain, this is the characteristic of Qing Dynasty porcelain that began to decline." Zhou Zhi pressed his finger on the bottom circle of the imitation model and said: "But if it is not far from the Qianlong Dynasty, the painting level is still roughly the same, retaining the complexity and delicateness. The style is only slightly inferior to the base model. ”
"But in some places that are not easy to see, traces of cutting corners can still be seen: For example, the carcass has begun to become rough, the specific gravity of the fired porcelain has begun to decrease, the soles are no longer finely trimmed and smooth, and the ring feet are no longer smooth. The glaze is no longer filled with water, and even the glaze becomes slippery and thin. . ”
“This blue and white dish is a gift from the Qianlong period. It has all the above characteristics, but the overall painting quality and green color are not far from the Qianlong blue and white dish. Therefore, I personally think it should be a gift from the Jiaqing Dynasty. ”
Manager Zhang was greatly admired Convinced, he cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhou is really an expert, I admire him. After receiving Mr. Zhou's complaint, our cultural relics store has started rectification, found out the internal employees who colluded with outsiders to defraud Mr. Tao, and notified the public security organs."< br>
“These measures, Coupled with this Qianlong dynasty's passion flower pattern dish, I wonder if it can satisfy Mr. Zhou and Mr. Tao?"
"Satisfied," Tao Ming stretched out his hand towards the remaining Qianlong dish. If you touch it, it's equivalent to 45,000 yuan. If you get this plate, it shouldn't be a loss.
Zhou Zhi chuckled and put his hand on the plate first.
Based on the knowledge that was popularized in the past, Tao Ming now also knows that when someone takes action, others must not reach out anymore, so he had to stop, but he was a little confused: "Elbow?"
Zhou Zhi looked at Manager Zhang: "I remember Manager Zhang said just now, as long as it's something on this table, we can pick anything at will." , right?”
“Yes.” Seeing Manager Zhang nod, Tao Ming said quickly, “So now this plate belongs to us.”
“ Brother-in-law, don't be anxious." Zhou Zhi smiled and shook his head and said, "If you can choose anything on this table..."
Zhou Zhi pointed to the tureen tea set in front of Manager Zhang: "Then we want this."
"Huh?!" Manager Zhang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "This little thought is not hidden after all. Mr. Guo Zhou, a master, a real master!"
Zhou Zhi laughed secretly in his heart. No wonder something happened to the Yuzhou Cultural Relics Store. But the root cause was found, and it still lies with the leader.
The truth is very simple. Manager Fei wanted Yuzhou to show its attitude, but Yuzhou was reluctant to bleed, so he promised it in words, but still made small moves in private.
If Zhou Zhi had not pointed out the tureen and only taken the Qianlong blue and white platter of this dynasty, it would not have been a loss.
But Fei Guan's intention was obviously to let Zhou Zhi pick up a small leak as an apology, but Manager Zhang had a hard time letting go of money. While saying all the nice things, he secretly served things of higher value to the table.
If Zhou Zhi didn't see it, then he would have kept the gaiwan and explained to Fei Guan. The explanation then would be - I took out all the things, it was Xiao Zhou who didn't It’s just what catches the eye!
With this little thought, I really can’t even lift it. The previous job of guessing the authenticity of three plates was actually just a cover for this tureen.
