Chapter 10 Speaking Human Language (Please collect)
Uncle De's Jude Zhai is open.
At this time, Uncle De was reading the newspaper leisurely inside.
Nowadays, mobile phones are popular, but people like Uncle De are still used to using traditional methods to understand recent current events.
In addition, in foreign countries, more people do read newspapers.
The main reasons for still reading newspapers include trust factors, the need to obtain information and the preferences of certain groups of people.
Needless to say, there is a trust factor. There are indeed too many fake news in new media nowadays. Many people think that the information in newspapers is more credible.
This is indeed a problem with new media, and there is no need to explain it.
Secondly, the need to obtain information is also the reason why people choose newspapers.
Take the United States as an example. Although the average American obtains news through an average of four electronic devices, the vast majority still rely on traditional media, such as reading newspapers and watching TV. This trend is seen across all age groups, especially middle-aged, elderly and young people.
As for some people boasting that foreigners are qualified and do not play with mobile phones or make noise on the subway, but choose to read books and newspapers.
That's pure bullshit.
If you take a trip to the New York subway, you will know at a glance the quality of foreigners.
Some foreigners read books and newspapers on the subway because their subway may not have a signal. How is it like our country? In the subway, the signal is still full.
"Uncle De, what are you busy with?" Chen Shiquan greeted knowingly.
Uncle De raised his head and was a little surprised to see Lin Yuan and Chen Shiquan together: "Do you know each other?"
Chen Shiquan chuckled: "My nephew, dear."
Lin Yuan also said hello: "Hello, Uncle De!"
He found that Uncle De was still dressed in the same clothes as before. For those who didn't know, he thought he hadn't changed his clothes! This man exudes the unique elegance of the Chinese people.
All in all, it looks decent at first glance.
"Hello, young man!" Uncle De smiled.
He saw the porcelain bottle in Chen Shiquan's hand and guessed the purpose of his uncle and nephew's visit.
"Uncle De, I have to trouble you again."
"Take it and take a look." Uncle De put down the newspaper in his hand and waved.
Chen Shiquan quickly sent the porcelain bottle over and placed it gently on the table.
Uncle De took out a pair of white gloves and put them on his hands. He held the porcelain bottle in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other and began to identify it.
"Where did it come from?" Uncle De asked while identifying it.
In fact, it is not necessary to ask this question, but antique shop owners are also afraid of receiving items from inappropriate sources, so they usually ask this question out of habit.
"Family heirloom..." Chen Shiquan also blurted out, habitually using the same rhetoric he used to set up stalls.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Uncle De: "Speak humanly."
Damn you! What kind of heirlooms are there for me?
"Ahem! I'm used to it." Chen Shiquan chuckled, and then said: "My nephew bought it in the antique street."
He looked at his nephew Lin Yuan: "How much did it cost?"
"250"
Chen Shiquan: "Why are you still swearing?"
Lin Yuan rolled his eyes: "I just bought it for 250 US dollars! Who did I scold?"
Well!
Chen Shiquan was speechless.
Uncle De was surprised and said: "Your nephew is much better than you. This is an enamel lantern bottle from the Daoguang period. If you buy it for $250, it is a big deal."
Lantern bottle, as the name suggests, is named because it resembles a lantern. The vessel has a straight mouth, short neck, plump shoulders, tube belly, and circle feet. It was created by the official kiln in Jingdezhen during the Yongzheng period and became popular during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty.
Chen Shiquan was startled. "Authentic?"
He brought his nephew here because he wanted to pour cold water on the kid so that he could calm down and stop getting overheated.
However, Uncle De now told him that this thing was an antique and had been picked up.
"Otherwise? If I'm not mistaken, the snuff bottle your nephew brought over the day before yesterday was also picked up by him, right? He missed it twice in just two or three days. He has good eyesight and luck!" Uncle De said.
Chen Shiquan: "Not only that, yesterday he also picked up an ancient book "Collected Works of Wang Wengong". That's a big mistake. Boss Lei knows it."
Afraid that Uncle De wouldn't believe it, Chen Shiquan finally pulled Boss Lei out.
Uncle De was shocked.
"The "Collected Works of Wang Wengong" by Song Longshu that Mr. Hong obtained was discovered by Xiao Lin?" This news surprised him so much.
Chen Shiquan and Lin Yuan didn't know that the news that Mr. Hong had obtained Song Longshu's "Collected Works of Wang Wen Gong" had spread in the Chinese antique circles in San Francisco and was making a fuss.
Uncle De naturally heard about it.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But he never expected that the "Collected Works of Wang Wen Gong" was actually picked up by the young man in front of him in the antique street. From this point of view, Lin Yuan’s pick-up rate is very high!
Chen Shiquan said proudly: "Isn't it awesome?"
It was as if he was the one who picked up the leak.
Uncle De ignored him, turned to look at Lin Yuan, and praised: "Xiao Lin, you are amazing!"
Lin Yuan didn't dare to be too proud. He knew what he was doing, and it all depended on the treasure hunting instrument. Without the treasure hunt, he is nothing.
"I'm not sure. It looks like it, and the price is not expensive. Even if you make a mistake, the loss won't be big." Lin Yuan said.
Seeing Lin Yuan say this, Uncle De appreciated it even more. It is commendable that young people are neither arrogant nor impatient.
"Much better than your uncle. He can't find a leak once a year." Uncle De said sarcastically about Chen Shiquan.
"Uncle De, you can't say that. I picked up a piece of jade last time. Have you forgotten?"
Uncle De glanced at him and asked: "What year was it last time?"
You still have the nerve to say that the last time was two years ago, okay?
The viewers in Lin Yuan's live broadcast room were dumbfounded, especially Lin Yuan's old fans.
Unexpectedly, this guy changed the track, seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du channels, and became awesome. If you pick up missing items for two or three days in a row, you can’t say it’s luck, right?
This shows that Lin Yuan has found his own path and is really gifted in identifying treasures and picking up leaks.
If you had done this earlier, you wouldn’t have to go abroad! I can definitely do well in the country.
Chen Shiquan depressedly changed the subject: "Uncle De, how much is this bottle worth?"
"It's about 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars. If I accept it, I can only give you 50,000 US dollars." Uncle De said clearly.
As for whether to sell or not, he doesn't force it.
Generally speaking, the quality of porcelain during the Daoguang period declined. Of course, we can't deny it all. There will definitely be high-quality products and very valuable ones, but obviously this lantern bottle in front of us is not the case.
At present, almost all of the 50 most expensive pieces of enamel-colored porcelain in auction history are from the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, especially the enamel-colored porcelain from the Qianlong period, which accounts for the majority.
Lin Yuan was not surprised by this valuation.
The treasure hunter shows a cyan light spot, which is probably within 100,000 US dollars.
"Fifty thousand, just fifty thousand!"
If he can take action, Lin Yuan will never let the antique stay in his hands. At least for now, he has no plans to collect it himself, and he will cash it out if he can.
"There is also this porcelain cup. I'd rather trouble Uncle De to handle it."
Uncle De was shocked when he saw the porcelain cup.
