Nowadays, it's impossible to drill holes with bones. They all use electric tools or small knives. The patterns formed by them are generally spiral patterns, which certainly did not exist in the Hongshan culture at that time.
Besides polishing, at that time, people used animal skin or jieyusha to polish jade by repeatedly rubbing. During the friction, the fat in the animal skin will be released and attached to the surface of the jade, making the surface of the jade brighter and warmer.
Now people use the electric mechanical polishing method. First, they use the electric plastic brush to polish the jade for the first time, which is also called rough polishing. Then they use the brush for the second time, and finally they use the cotton brush for fine polishing. There are also counterfeiters who use animal skins or jieyusha to rub repeatedly on the jade.
No matter how good these two methods are, they can't achieve the same effect as the real Hongshan jade. They can be seen through a magnifying glass. However, from the beginning to the end, Lao Zhou didn't even take out the magnifying glass, and the result can be imagined.
If Lao Zhou could learn more about it, he would know that in the 20 years since the 1970s and 1980s, only three jade pig dragons have been excavated, and a few of them have been collected by museums as animal shaped jades of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
After the excavation of niulianghe Hongshan cultural site, these animal shaped jades were finally identified as yuzhulong of Hongshan culture. In addition, some of them were collected from the folk, with a total of about 20. If you look at the number of stone mounds that have been found, I'm afraid that one hundred jade pig dragons are already a limit.
Such a rare quantity can easily appear in the hands of a peasant woman. As long as people have a little understanding of this aspect, they will know that they must be cautious when dealing with this situation.
The most important thing is that if he knows more about the market, he will know that the shape of the jade pig dragon he bought is exactly the same as that of the jade pig dragon he photographed last autumn. Because of this, when he asked someone to look in the palm of his hand, the expert laughed when he saw it.
As a matter of fact, the businessmen in the antique industry, who are not thieves, often have a collection among these people. The dead can be said to survive, and any story can be told. Even Lao Zhou, this kind of thing is not rare.
Therefore, it's not terrible for newcomers to step into the antique industry to drill their eyes, and it's the same with stepping on "land mines". But as long as you are not greedy, even if you hit your eyes and step on "land mines", you won't lose much, and you won't hurt your skills and bones. What's more, you can learn from them. That's a cut in the antique industry.
However, once you are greedy, you may lose your fortune. Lao Zhou is a living example.
"Ah, Lao Zhou is crazy about money!"
After listening to boss Feng's story, Chu Chen was also deeply saddened. However, he was not surprised by the ending of Lao Zhou, because his character was just like this, and he paid too much attention to money and interests. Otherwise, he would not have been "familiar" at the beginning.
"Little brother, you are late. Lao Zhou's shop and the goods in it were transferred by his black sheep son yesterday." Boss Feng shook his head and sighed.
Chu Chen was speechless when he heard this. He had heard that his son, Lao Zhou, was a black sheep in his family. His black sheep did not eat and drink Piao as others did, but he was black sheep in antiques.
Since Lao Zhou is also an antique man, how can his son lose his family in antique? This is because, instead of learning calligraphy and painting appraisal from Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou's son is going to collect ancient jade. It doesn't matter if he studies hard. However, he only knows a little about it. After learning a little, he feels very powerful.
The ancient jade market is one of the hardest hit areas in the field of antique making. With the help of a beginner like Lao Zhou's son, who has learned a little and can't even be regarded as a beginner with two knives, he plunges into the market, and the result can be imagined.
Some of the newcomers in the field of antiques are good at summing up their experiences. They will learn from their experiences and improve their knowledge. There are a few of them. They not only don't learn from their experiences, but also think what others say is wrong. They only believe what they think. They can say that they are possessed by the devil and can't see enough.
And Lao Zhou's son is such a person. Because of this, a lot of property in Lao Zhou's family has been ruined by him. Even Lao Zhou's wife has been killed. However, Lao Zhou's son is still in my line. Therefore, Lao Zhou is angry, and he doesn't care about it, and his money has been cut off.
In fact, there is something about Lao Zhou's son this time. After all, his son is not young. His parents always think that his child can get married and start a business. For his son's sake, Lao Zhou wants to prepare more money. If he leaves in the future, his child's life will be guaranteed.
However, Chu Chen felt that with the character of Lao Zhou's son, how much money would be lost. You see, it's only a few days since Lao Zhou died, and all the shops have been changed hands. It's estimated that the money will be ready to stir up his ancient jade.
"Ah, although my son is like this, he has some friendship with Lao Zhou after all. I still want to go to worship him."
When Chu Chen thought of this, he called Uncle Wu and told him about it again.When Uncle Wu heard the news, he couldn't believe it at the beginning. Finally, after hearing the story, he sighed. At the end of the call, he asked Chu Chen to stay in Baoguo temple. He rushed to meet him immediately, and then went to old Zhou's house to worship.
Seeing that Chu Chen had finished calling, the boss Feng asked him, "little brother, are you coming to Lao Zhou to pick up the goods? Why don't you come to see me?"
When Chu Chen saw this, he gave a faint smile. The boss Feng should have talked so much to him because he might have a business to do. But where to get the goods is not to take them. As long as his goods can meet his requirements and the price is suitable, he said with a smile:
"Feng Laoban, my name is Chu Chen. You can call me Xiao Chu. I'm really ready to come to Lao Zhou this time I'm the one who takes the goods, but I have a high demand for the goods. At least I have to look at them, otherwise... "
"Ha ha, Xiao Chu, I understand what you said. To tell you the truth, Lao Zhou's goods are really excellent, but mine is not bad either. Let's have a look at it. We'll really look down on it then. We can't do business with benevolence and justice. You can't say that." With that, boss Feng welcomed Chu Chen into the house.
The boss Feng didn't talk nonsense. The calligraphy and painting works in his shop are really no worse than those in Laozhou's shop. One of them is the works of teachers and students in Beijing Academy of fine arts. I heard that he cooperated with some teachers and students. He provided positions, while teachers and students provided works. After the sale, both sides shared the works in proportion.
After a look around, Chu Chen finally selected three works, one landscape, one Sanyang Kaitai and one peony, all of which were very good. The authors of these three works are also well-known. In the end, they cost him 3200 yuan. Compared with the works, the price is solid, and they should be able to earn at least double the profits for him.
"OK, boss Feng's stuff is really good. We will communicate with each other frequently in the future. If you have any good works, please let me know." After chuchen finished laughing, he handed him his business card.
Chuchen's brisk trading also made boss Feng very happy. This kind of customer is the favorite of businessmen. He exchanged business cards with chuchen, nodded and agreed: "that's for sure!"
At this time, Uncle Wu's phone also just called, Chu Chen said goodbye in a hurry.
Lao Zhou's family now lives in a house handed down from his ancestors. It's near a bus station in the south of the city. There are many freelancers living around. It's a bit messy and a bit of a slum.
Lao Zhou now lives here because of his son's failure. In the past, his family had property in Uncle Wu's house besides here. It was precisely because Lao Zhou's son borrowed money to buy antiques and lost everything. In the end, Lao Zhou had to sell the house there to pay his debts.
In this way, it's no wonder that Lao Zhou valued money so much that the tragedy happened before.
"Dududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududududu.
"Who is it?"
An impatient voice came from the room. After a while, the door was opened.
The man who opened the door was a man in his early thirties. It was Zhou Jude, the son of old Zhou. Compared with his usual performance, his name was very ironic. He was not only not Jude, but also Sanda. When he saw Wu Shu and Chu Chen standing at the door, his impatient face squeezed out a smile.
"It's Uncle Wu. Is he here to worship my father?"
Uncle Wu was a little displeased when he looked at his expression: "I said Xiao Zhou, your father has gone, but he didn't call me. If Xiao Chen didn't go to your father's shop today and get the news, I still don't know!"
Xiao Zhou took them into the house and said, "Uncle Wu, I can't help it either. My father left all of a sudden, and nothing was left for me. When my aunt was cremated, she came and lost a thousand yuan. With that money and a little money at home, it's almost the same to build a cemetery. How can she afford to do funeral?"
After listening to this, Chu Chen said in his heart, you are so angry with your mother. Will your aunt come to help you with your funeral? Just like you, it's good to leave some money for you.
After hearing this, Uncle Wu said: "then you can not inform me?"
The three walked through the yard and came to the living room where old Zhou lived. Now, except for a simple hall, it has been cleaned up. Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help saying in his heart that he was really the black sheep of his family!
