Lai Wen's eyes never left Hei Ji and his men who were holding the "goods." He could make some judgments based on how careful they were with an item.
Most of the time, the judgment of a fake was not based on the item, but on the attitude of the person who made the judgment.
This was very important. From this point, one could see Lai Wen's practical experience in the market.
For a fake, the seller must be very careful, but how much of this caution was "acting" was up to people to judge.
Xu Yun was not interested in this. Looking at the treasures that were taken out one by one, Xu Yun did not know the value of these things.
Even if he knew the value of these things, he was not interested in collecting them.
These things should be put in places that could be exhibited in the country and let more people see them. Places like museums should be open for free exhibitions. Let more people know the meaning of these things.
His personal collection was meaningless. It was better to donate the money to two Hope Primary Schools.
Although Lai Wen was a shameless collector, Xu Yun still appreciated his charity. No matter what his purpose was, he did things that many people could not do.
Whether he was a disgusting person or not, he spent a lot of money on charity.
This was a point that Xu Yun had to remember for him.
"Today, you are all here." The dark and thin guy smiled.
Those who were there to collect were all with the mentality of picking up scraps.
The upper, middle, and lower levels of the antique industry were antique shops, hanging goods shops, second-hand shops, and stalls. Second-hand shops and stalls dealt in random pieces of antiques and toys. They could not be included in the antique chamber of commerce. People in the industry did not recognize them as antique shops.
Today, Hei Ji's place was not even a stall. It was simply a mobile stall, not to mention an antique shop.
But most of the scraps happened in this situation. Once an antique shop was established, it would not give people a chance to pick up scraps.
More importantly, Hei Ji came here to sell his stolen goods. He was working for the "country bumpkin" organization.
There were too many good things, including bronze, gold, silver, porcelain, jade, all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, stele inscriptions, etc. Everything was there.
This time, the most eye-catching items were probably the two pieces of porcelain.
Yuan Ji Blue Glazed White Dragon Plum Vase and Yuan Glazed Red Goblet, two treasures of the Yuan Dynasty.
Who knew which noble's grave of the Yuan Dynasty had been dug up by this' country bumpkin 'again?
"Boss Lai, you're an expert." Hei Ji knew very well who was the most professional here, so he placed the Yuan Glaze Inner Red Goblet closest to Lai Wen.
Generally, people who didn't know the trade wouldn't dare to offer a price for such a precious item.
Lai Wen was very knowledgeable. Once he gave a price, it would be very difficult for others to give a higher price. This was because this thing was too expensive. If they gave the wrong price, they would suffer a huge loss.
This Yuan Glaze Inner Red Goblet, with a flat mouth, a bowl-shaped deep belly, and slender Goblet shaped like bamboo joints. The foetal quality was delicate, with a greenish-white glaze, warm and glossy.
Inscriptions were imprinted on the inside of the mouth. Plum blossom and chrysanthemum patterns were imprinted from the bottom of the inscriptions to the bottom of the mouth.
There were a few pieces of red glaze spots on the bottom and the outer wall of the artifact. There was an obvious halo around the spots. The color was gorgeous, and with the green spots within the spots, it looked natural and unrestrained.
The lower part of the belly was piled up with a dragon, bending and crawling.
The appearance of this cup was no different from the ordinary goblets popular during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. If one looked carefully, they would find that the structure of the bottom of the cup and the Goblet was very strange.
The upper end of the Goblet was slightly retracted into the "Mao", and it was embedded with the large conical "Tenon" at the bottom of the cup. There was a gap between the two to allow it to rotate. The design was ingenious, and the production was excellent. It was a rare treasure among wine vessels.
Lai Wen's heart was moved. This was obviously a good thing.
However, he remained calm and collected. He knew that once he said that he was interested in something, Fatty Dai would definitely make trouble.
"I'm more interested in that one." Lai Wen suddenly pointed at the Yuan Ji Blue Glazed White Dragon Plum Vase.
This Plum Vase had a small mouth and a short neck. The mouth edge was flat, and the shoulders were smooth. The shoulders gradually converged below the shoulders, and the bottom was slightly slanted outwards.
The belly of the Plum Vase was engraved with a dragon chasing a flame pearl. The pattern was commonly known as the pearl chasing dragon pattern.
The dragon circled around the bottle. The dragon's head was raised, its horns were slightly tilted back, and the dragon's eyes were protruding. It looked bright and full of spirit. The blue glaze decorated the eyeballs. It was even more prominent against the blue and white glaze. Presumably, this was the so-called finishing touch!
The dragon opened its mouth and spat out its tongue, revealing its sharp teeth. Its upper and lower jaw curled up. Its neck was slender, and there was a bunch of long hair fluttering in the wind. The pattern on its back was vivid. Its outstretched limbs had sharp fingertips. The auxiliary pattern was four flame-shaped clouds, which set off the dragon's all-powerful momentum and soaring in the vast sky.
The Plum Vase had a beautiful shape, exquisite and vivid pattern, and the blue glaze was bright and pure. No matter how one looked at it, it was more valuable than the Yuan Ji Red Goblet.
"Boss Lai is indeed Boss Lai." Hei Ji calmly brought the Yuan Ji Blue Glazed White Dragon Plum Vase in front of Lai Wen.
Lai Wen looked very carefully.
"I'll pay this price." Lai Wen raised three fingers.
"Four million!" Fatty Dai didn't even think about it and followed up.
Lai Wen sneered and didn't look at Fatty Dai. He still raised three fingers to Hei Ji, "Thirty million."
Fatty Dai was immediately stunned. A trace of disbelief flashed across Hei Ji's face.
When the porcelain got off the car, Lai Wen had been observing. Hei Ji's people were very careful with the two porcelains. But when they took the Yuan Ji Red Goblet, they looked more nervous.
And when they took the Yuan Ji Blue Glazed White Dragon Plum Vase, although they were careful, there was no worry or tension between their eyebrows.
Lai Wen naturally understood what this meant.
Besides, when the Yuan Ji Blue Glazed White Dragon Plum Vase was brought to Lai Wen, Lai Wen observed it very carefully.
Although the Yuan Ji Blue Glazed White Dragon Plum Vase had a beautiful shape, exquisite and vivid pattern, and the blue glaze was bright and pure. The soaring dragon on the top was also lively, but Lai Wen still doubted it.
The auxiliary pattern of the Plum Vase was four flame-shaped clouds. Lai Wen's experience told him that something was wrong here.
If it was genuine, the small pearl attached to the flame root of the four flame-shaped clouds should be like a floating coral branch.
However, the small pearl attached to the flame-shaped clouds on the Plum Vase didn't have that kind of floating feeling.
This was probably the only flaw in this super fake.
Hei Ji tried to make himself look expressionless. This time, he didn't intend to sell this fake to Lai Wen.
Based on their years of knowledge, Hei Ji was very clear about Lai Wen's skills.
Hei Ji wanted Lai Wen to take a fancy to the real Yuan Ji Red Goblet. Once Lai Wen could offer a high price for the Yuan Ji Red Goblet, then this fake Yuan Ji Blue Glazed White Dragon Plum Vase would definitely be fancied by others.
This would attract other people's attention.
But who knew that Lai Wen actually took a fancy to the Yuan Ji Blue Glazed White Dragon Plum Vase, but had no interest in the Yuan Ji Red Goblet.
Thirty million, this price was shocking enough. However, to be honest, if this thing wasn't a fake and was a treasure, then it wouldn't be something that could be bought with thirty million.
So Hei Ji couldn't help but be surprised by Lai Wen's price. He didn't understand what Lai Wen meant.
"Wait a minute!" Fatty Dai was obviously shocked. "Hei Ji, wait a minute. Don't sell it yet! I also took a fancy to this thing! "
Hei Ji smiled in his heart. He knew that this fatty always liked to snatch Lai Wen's things.
"There's no rule of waiting here," Lai Wen said.
"Okay! Hei Ji, I'll give you thirty-one million! "Fatty Dai said as he waved his hand fiercely, signaling his men to call the experts in the car.
