After entering the door, they exchanged greetings, and the old commander told him what he had been asking him to do since he saw Zhou Zhong at the door of the antique shop last time.
Zhou Zhong said in a hurry, "you are my life-saving benefactor. Just let me know if you have any requirements. As long as it is within my power, I will do it for you."
The old commander gave a mysterious smile and said to Zhou Zhong, "follow me."
Although Zhou Zhong didn't know what the old commander was going to do, seeing his excited and mysterious appearance, Zhou Zhong was also curious, so he followed him out. The old commander took him to the bottom of a small villa with him.
When they entered the villa, Zhou Zhong was shocked by the sight. The villa was not a place for ordinary people to live in, but the treasure house of the old commander. As soon as the door opened, Zhou Zhong was attracted by the dazzling collection. The old commander turned on the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and the treasures in the collection seemed to be alive and shining.
"Wow." Zhou couldn't help but exclaimed. Although he had studied antiques for a while, he saw so many valuable antiques together for the first time.
Seeing Zhou Zhong's expression of surprise, the old commander patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "after retirement, I had nothing to do, so I started to study antiques together with some old fellows. Up to now, there are almost hundreds of antiques here. There are all kinds of antiques, some of which are suitable for hundreds of thousands, and others are worth millions or even tens of millions All of them. "
Zhou Zhongzheng was ready to express his admiration, but the old commander said again: "but some of the antiques here are from my acquaintances. I can trust them, but some of them are introduced from others. I don't know whether they are true or false. Maybe they were cheated and counted money for others."
Zhou Zhong was a discerning man. When he heard this, he knew that the old commander gave him a business card at the door of an antique shop that day. If he wanted to get to know him, he was interested in his treasure identification skills, so he said, "commander, don't worry. Although I didn't go to college in the middle of the week, I still have a lot of research on collectibles. Although I can't say I have a brilliant eye, my judgment accuracy is also good Ninety nine percent. If you have any doubts about the collection, I'll help you identify it. "
The old commander wanted Zhou Zhong to help him to have a look. Seeing that Zhou Zhong was so clever, he repeatedly praised him for his fearlessness. He took him to a counter.
The old commander opened the glass door and took out a small chrysalis from it.
"It's a jade of the Han Dynasty. Help me to see if it's jade."
Zhou Zhong took the jade with gloves carefully and observed it carefully. At this time, the treasure finder in his mind said: "jade of Han Dynasty, jade cicada pupa, inheriting the tradition of Warring States period, is of high quality and perfect color. A pair of jade is estimated at 2.46 million yuan."
Zhou Zhong told the old commander that this pair of jade cicada pupae were really from the Han Dynasty. How much did he start with.
"2.4 million." The old commander looked at Zhou Zhong nervously.
"The market price is estimated to be about 2.5 million, which is similar to your starting price. Maybe you have made a little profit."
The old commander breathed a sigh of relief. He took the jade from his old comrades in arms. Sure enough, people who have revolutionary feelings will not cheat. People who have gone to the battlefield together really share happiness and difficulties. So he took Zhou Zhong to stand in front of a painting and said, "what about this painting of horse herding?"
Zhou Zhong looked at it, and the treasure finder in his mind began to speak again: "the painting of herdsmen and horses, written by Han Gan in the Qing Dynasty, and the painting Manual of Xuanhe, recorded 52 pieces. So far, only 23 pieces have survived. This one is a high imitation, with an estimated price of 80000."
He didn't dare to talk about it. He copied the contents of the treasure finder honestly. The old commander was a little depressed when he heard about it. He always thought it could not be a fake. Now he even said it was a fake in the middle of the week. He really lost money. He also understood the collection value of the painting, so that he got one of the only two or three pieces for himself. Now it seems that he thinks more.
However, when the old commander bought the painting, he didn't spend too much money, so he didn't care very much. He took Zhou Zhong to see some other collections.
These collections can be described as various, covering a very wide range, from the Xia and Shang Dynasties to the Western Zhou Dynasty, as well as the Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even the Republic of China. Most of them are genuine, but there are also some fakes in them. Zhou Zhong told the old commander one by one.
Although the old commander was a little disappointed, he found that Zhou Zhong was so young that he had already learned so much knowledge of treasure identification. Therefore, he still looked at Zhou Zhong with appreciative eyes and praised him.
The old commander really likes collecting antiques, not for making money, but for personal interests. So whenever Zhou Zhong says that a collection has no collection value, he will destroy it, saying that he will not let these dirty things pollute the antique market.
After tearing and smashing, the old commander took Zhou Zhong to a mysterious glass window. None of the others were locked. Only this one was added a lock. The old commander opened the lock and slowly took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from inside.
As soon as the porcelain bottle was exposed to the lamp, it gave off a special luster. It was so dazzling that Zhou Zhong couldn't open his eyes. The pattern of the bottle was also a style never seen in Zhou."It was sold at an auction house a few days ago. It cost a lot of money. It was from the Ming Dynasty. I found many experts with different opinions. I'm not sure. I saw that you had a special study on antiques in the antique shop that day. I wanted you to help me identify this bottle for a long time. In fact, this is my main purpose to find you."
The old commander affectionately picked up the bottle and put it gently on the tablecloth of the counter to let Zhou Zhong look at it carefully.
"The blue and white porcelain vase, which was made in Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty, is a forgery, and its market price is 12 million yuan."
Zhou Zhong talked to the old commander one by one. Looking at the old commander's eyes changed from joy to gloom, Zhou Zhong couldn't bear to comfort him. Suddenly, the treasure finder in his mind began to sound again.
"The system has been upgraded, the system has been upgraded..."
"System upgrade?" Since Zhou Zhong fell into the ancient tomb last time, all kinds of strange sounds appeared in his brain, and he accepted them in silence. Unexpectedly, he even prompted him to upgrade the system. The treasure hunting system can also be upgraded.
The original treasure finder also has a level. When the number of antiques identified reaches a certain level, the relative experience value will be increased, and then it will be upgraded. However, the experience value can not be seen. The collection identified in the middle of the week has reached this level, so today the treasure finder has been upgraded. The advantage of upgrading is that you can get clues about the original according to a fake.
"The blue and white porcelain vase, the real one, is in the southwest, with an estimated price of 12 million yuan."
In the middle of the week, I was surprised that Zhou's position was not really clear.
At this moment, the old commander said: "it seems that this baby is really fake. Maybe I have no fate with it. Although I spent a lot of money to buy it, I still can't keep it."
Having said that, the old commander touched the bottle lovingly and raised it to the ground to smash it. Zhou Zhong saw it and thought that the old commander must be very disappointed. It might be useful to keep the bottle.
Suddenly think of the voice in his mind, can you find the real one? Does that mean that you can use this genuine blue and white porcelain vase that you can find?
So Zhou Zhong took a lunge and flew to the old commander. He caught the bottle with both hands, but it didn't fall to the ground.
"Chief, you wait. I may have a way. This bottle can't be broken."
When the old commander heard this, he was a little curious. When he smashed those other collections, Zhou Zhong didn't stop him. How could he stand up and stop him when he smashed them? However, the old commander still appreciated Zhou Zhong's, and felt that Zhou Zhong's action was reasonable, so he continued to listen to what he said.
"I might be able to find the real thing in this bottle, but
Zhou Zhong hesitated and did not say that he had just upgraded the system and was not very good at using it. He was not sure whether he could really help the old commander find the real product. However, he felt that the old commander must be very disappointed now. His arrival did not surprise him, but brought this regret. Zhou Zhong felt sorry.
Then promise to come down first, let the old commander not be so sad, and it's not too late to think about it later. So Zhou Zhong explained, "maybe I can find out where the genuine porcelain vase is, but it may take a long time, and I can't be sure now. If you can trust me, give me a period of time to find out the whereabouts of the real one."
Although Zhou Zhong didn't make it clear that he could really find the real product, the old commander already felt that there was a good chance to win. He nodded immediately, took the bottle from Zhou's hand and put it on the table again.
"OK, OK. Do as you say. I'm not in a hurry. Just look for it slowly."
Zhou has seen hope in the eyes of the old commander, and his frustration has been swept away. Obviously, he still cares about this treasure.
Zhou Zhong has helped the old commander to identify the authenticity of the most important blue and white porcelain vases. Although the old commander was somewhat disappointed, he was relieved to hear that Zhou Zhong said there was still hope, and began to talk with Zhou Zhong.
Back in the living room above, after they sat down, the old commander suddenly said, "Zhou Xiaoyou, have you ever considered opening your own antique shop?"
"Your own antique shop?"
There was a flash of surprise in Zhou's eyes, which he really didn't think about. Zhou Zhong was born in a poor family since he was a child. To be honest, he was a little worse in the field of vision last week.
So when the old commander put forward this matter, Zhou Zhong was surprised to open his mouth.
