V2.Chapter 58 (1/2)

In May, the auction company of Huaxia group held a special auction of jade and furniture in Qingshi, which can be described as a grand event in the collection industry. Ancient jade, ancient furniture, on-site identification, let collection lovers have enough addiction!

In terms of ancient jade, jade before the Ming Dynasty is called ancient jade, and jade before the Han Dynasty is called high ancient jade. There are few high ancient jade, mostly Hotan jade, and few in the hands of collectors. But this auction really produced a piece of high ancient jade! A Hetian jade plate with dragon and phoenix patterns in the Western Han Dynasty.

This jade plate is an eye opener for many collectors, but unfortunately it is not the jade Xia Shao is looking for.

Jade with auspicious spirit is bound to be hard to find among the people. Xia Shao has the idea of looking for a needle in a haystack. Before the auction appraisal meeting, he made an appointment with the company for several on-site appraisal in the name of appraisal. Unfortunately, most of them are high imitations of soil rust and blood Qin. There are few genuine products, which do not meet the standard of Xia Shao.

However, many things in the world are no coincidence but a book. At this auction, Huaxia group made great efforts in on-site identification. In order to publicize and stir up, the company said that even collectors who do not want to send photos can participate in on-site expert identification to argue the authenticity of their collections. Of course, it is only limited to jade pieces and furniture. And after identification, if it is genuine, it needs to be filed in the company.

Free identification opportunities are not mandatory. Such a good thing naturally attracts many people.

On the day of the appraisal meeting, the provincial TV station and several media reported on the scene. Only nine on-site appraisal were held, which was completed in five days. It can be described as a grand occasion!

Xia Shao rarely asked for leave from school. He was on the scene all day and sat down in the special session of jade appraisal! But for the company, she gained a lot for four days in a row, but for her personally, she gained nothing.

Just when Xia Shao had made the final plan and didn't succeed in collecting several old jades in the hands of collectors, and went to famous mountains and rivers to look for feng shui treasure cave during the summer vacation, an old man came to the special jade appraisal on the last day.

The old man held a square red sandalwood box in his hand. He saw that the box was old. The experts didn't open the box to see the objects inside. They just smiled when they saw the box.

”Old man, your red sandalwood square box is an old red sandalwood in the Qing Dynasty. It is a good object worth collecting.”

When the old man heard this, his reaction was very different from that of most collectors. When most people heard that they collected good things, they had to smile and thank the experts again and again. But the old man didn't show any surprise. He just nodded calmly, as if he had known the age of the object in his hand.

The old man looked a little dignified and didn't talk much. He just beat the red sandalwood box and pushed it in front of the expert, ”look at the jade pieces in here.”

The experts' eyes fell into the box and gave a ”Yo”.

Xia Shao sat aside and almost stood up excitedly!

The box of the old red sandalwood is in the style of eighteen squares, which is divided into three rows and six squares in each row. In the lattice, there are thumb sized Hotan jade arhat carvings in different shapes and lifelike!

However, these jade arhat carvings are not complete. There are no 18 carvings, only half of them, accounting for half of the nine lattices in the box. That is, only nine.

Although it is incomplete, it is also an unexpected joy for Xia Shao. Because in her eyes, these arhat sculptures contain rich auspicious Qi and are magic tools!

The experts' dating of this Hetian jade arhat is the Qing Dynasty. The excellent Hetian jade seed material is passed down from generation to generation and collected, not taken out from the ground. Therefore, it is still glossy and moist, which is very gratifying.

”If this set of jade pieces is complete, it can really get a good price. It's a pity that it's missing, but there are few good items that are perfect, and it's good to collect half of them,” the experts said.

The staff on one side routinely asked, ”old man, do you want to send photos of this set of jade? If you need to send photos, please go through the formalities for sending photos. If you don't need to, please allow us to make a backup of this collection.”

The old man obviously hesitated when he heard this. He hesitated and hesitated with this set of jade pieces. Finally, he shook his head and simply asked the staff to back up the data, so he took the object and left.

Xia Shao looked, where can he let it go? She got up quickly and ran after her.

The company has done enough security work for the on-site appraisal meeting. Whether it is sending photos or finally leaving with objects, there are exclusive channels and strict security are arranged to prevent trouble.

Xia Shao followed the passage and saw an old lady waiting anxiously at the entrance of the passage. Seeing the old man coming out again with a bag and a box, he immediately pulled down his face.

”You didn't send the film and brought it back? I said what's the matter with you old man! My son and I have done your ideological work for nothing these two days?”

The old man held the jade piece in his arms and didn't speak, allowing the old lady to accuse him.

”I said you don't think this jade brings enough trouble to our family? Your daughter-in-law aborted because of Buddha worship! You still put these Arhats at home! Tell yourself, do you want something from this family or a queen? You're so old, you don't want to have grandchildren, I still want to hold them!”

The old man probably heard too much nagging, frowned, and said with a little boredom, ”why do I always blame me for my daughter-in-law's abortion? They all said it has nothing to do with my jade piece! Why do they keep talking? This jade piece was handed down by my father's generation, from the Qing Dynasty! I still want to keep it!”

”Ah bah! Your daughter-in-law has miscarried, and you still pass it on? Who do you pass it on to? Your son blames you these days. You don't hurry to send the photos! It's just time to add some money to the family and pick up her daughter-in-law from her mother's house.” the old lady said, reaching out and grabbing the bag in the old man's arms, ”go, go, don't you want me to give it up! I want my grandson! Give me the things and I'll send the photos!”

As soon as the old man saw it, they were in the channel. You argued with me and grabbed it. The security personnel recognized that they were a family and knew it was a household chore, so they only advised them nearby, but Xia Shao in the distance was frightened. He was afraid that the two old people would rob and break these jade pieces. She didn't spare no effort to find these magic weapons.

Xia Shao immediately walked over, ”old man, if I can help you with your daughter-in-law, can you give me this set of jade pieces?”

With one word, she made the two old people stop arguing and turned their heads. Seeing her quiet smile and elegant temperament, the old lady looked at Xia Shao for a while and said, ”the little girl looks familiar... I seem to have seen you somewhere...”

The security guard nearby said, ”this is the chairman of our Huaxia group, Miss Xia.”

The two old men immediately showed a sudden look. The old lady went to pull Xia Shao's hand, looked at her like a strange person, smiled and said, ”it's you! It's you! I've seen you on TV! Look at this, the real person is more likable than on TV! You're here at the right time. Are you the boss of the auction company? I tell you, we'll send the jade piece of my family for auction, you...”

”Who said to send the photos!” the old man interrupted reluctantly. ”It's family, not for sale!”

”I said you old man, how can you be so stubborn!”

Xia Shao listened to the two old people quarreling again. He couldn't help laughing and said, ”two old people, can you tell me about your daughter-in-law? I have some research on Feng Shui and may be able to help you.”

The two old men were stunned. Feng Shui? Does she understand?

Are you kidding? Such a young girl!

”It's not Feng Shui at all. It's the old woman's superstition. It's just a coincidence. I have to rely on me! Anyway, I don't sell these jade pieces!”

”Just now, I heard your second old saying that your daughter-in-law was born after worshipping the Buddha? Excuse me, but when I went to the temple to burn incense, I gave a big gift?” Xia Shao didn't give much advice and went straight to the point.

The two old men were stunned again. The old lady nodded quickly, ”Yes, yes, yes! I did. I was pregnant for four months and had a miscarriage when I came back. I didn't wrestle or catch cold. I heard her mother's family later blamed her for saying that pregnant women couldn't go to the temple to worship Buddha, and the Buddha couldn't afford it. It happened that there were these Arhats in my family. I didn't feel very good when I heard about them. They were several Arhats! My daughter-in-law was in my house and didn't collide yet? Said her mother's family If we don't sell these or pack them away, she won't come back to live! I'm so anxious. I've talked with the old man for many days. I advised him. I finally agreed last night and reneged today! Take these jade pieces and sell them. Our family will definitely not! ”

”My daughter-in-law hasn't visited these Arhats at home. Don't worry about it!” the old man said.

The old lady stared at him and held Xia Shao, ”You don't know. These Arhats came from the temple! It was an old temple. The incense was flourishing in the past. Later, in the war years, little devils came and burned the temple. The monks scattered and died. These white jade eighteen Arhats were originally one set. When the temple was destroyed, several were lost and broken, leaving only half of them. The abbot of the temple and our family The old man and his father have been friends for half a lifetime. At the end of the year, he gave him this half set of jade Arhats. The old abbot is an eminent monk. The old man said that the things in his hand must be very smart! But now he's afraid of it. What if my daughter-in-law collides with it and loses production again? ”

After hearing this, Xia Shao had a number in his heart. No wonder this set of jade Arhats has such a strong auspicious Qi. It was originally supported by eminent monks in the temple and later drifted among the people.

This is really hit by her. This set of magic tools must convince two old people to give it to her!

”Old man, pregnant women can enter the temple to worship the Buddha, but they can burn incense and pay homage. Although the Buddha has no taboos, the Buddha is merciful and pregnant women are great, so they don't have to pay homage. After paying homage, they collide.” Xia Shao said that these are folk sayings. The abortion of the two old people's daughter-in-law is not necessarily related to this matter, but if the old lady wants to have a son, she has a way.

”See? What the little girl knows!” the old lady changed her face and ran into the old man.

The old man frowned, Xia Shao smiled, and then explained, ”but your daughter-in-law has nothing to do with the half set of Arhats in the old man's hand. It's not quite the same as the Buddha and Bodhisattva sitting statue in the temple. Since you haven't worshipped, there's no conflict.”

The old lady was stunned and the old man was comfortable. ”I said it had nothing to do with me! Go, go home.”

”Back to what home? This thing still has to be sold! Her daughter-in-law's mother's family pays attention to these. If you don't sell it, they won't ask her daughter-in-law to come back. What can we do?”

”Old man.” Xia Shao said at this time, ”if you two old people are bent on asking for grandchildren, I can go to your home to see feng shui.”

”You? Look at Feng Shui?” the two old men looked at each other with suspicious eyes. ”Little girl, these things are mysterious. How can you understand them at your age? OK, I know you want my jade piece, but don't fool me.”

When the old man said this, the security personnel of Huaxia group couldn't listen. ”I said old man, you don't ask. Our chairman looked at Feng Shui. How many people could make an appointment and queue up? She took the initiative to talk about your home today. Are you happy?”

”Well, old man. I'll go to your house. If I see it well, you'll consider the jade matter. If I don't see it well, I won't be shy to persuade you again. How about this?” Xia Shao saw that the old man was stubborn, so he had to detour.

The old man turned his mouth and wanted to think about it, but the old lady agreed without saying a word! Immediately took Xia Shao home.

The old couple live with their son and daughter-in-law. The house is on the third floor of the unit building, a community in the center of the city.

As soon as Xia Shao entered the door, the income of Huaxia group in this auction was naturally quite rich. The business community praised Xia Shao's frying method, but Xia Shao didn't put these praise in her heart at all. What she was most happy about was that she got the nine jade Arhats!

Call Xu Tianyin, and Xia Shao shows up in front of her senior brother.

Xu Tianyin nodded after reading it. As always, he was concise and said only two words, ”good.”

Xia Shao hugged her and smiled with her eyes bent into crescent moon.

Not long after the auction, just in June, Chang came back from the capital with his mother who had completed the operation and recovered well.

The mother and son went to Huaxia group in person to give Xia Shao a solemn thanks.

After all, her long-standing mother is thin and weak, but she is a kind and kind woman. She has polite words and deeds. Although she wears simple clothes, she has the style of a lady of a family.

”Mr. Xia, a dog is useless, and I don't know what kind of blessings you did in your last life. He told me what you mentioned to him years ago. Alas! I didn't want him to deceive people with this skill, so I forced him to swear. The child has nothing else, but filial piety and death. The thing you mentioned is a right way. It doesn't deceive people, but can pass on this old skill Go. The most important thing is to let the child eat with his skills. There's nothing he can't promise. But he's afraid to tell me I don't agree, which will affect my mood for treatment. He didn't tell me until some time ago. I came back with him as soon as I heard it. In a word, President Xia waited for half a year. I'm really sorry. ”

After hearing this, Xia Shao hurriedly said that it was not in the way and helped Chang Jiu's mother to sit down on the sofa.

”Since that's the case, I'll hand over this worthless son to President Xia. If he wants to do something wrong, you can criticize him. The child is stubborn sometimes. If there's something that doesn't make sense to him, come to me! I'll help you talk about him.”

In this way, Changjiu successfully signed a contract with Huaxia group, which invested by the company to create two sets of samples of high imitation pastel porcelain in the years of Yongzheng and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

After the sample came out, even Xia Shao praised it. She not only called Chen Manchuan and Ma Xianrong, but also called managers of antique shops all over the country, and a group of people gathered together.

In the conference room of Huaxia group headquarters, there are old guys who have been in the antique industry for half a life, and their eyesight can be called experts. But the day was full of eyes!

They all concluded that these two sets of pink colored porcelain were genuine products during the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and were well preserved. It was rare that the appearance of the products was complete!

Xia Shao saw this as like as two peas of laughter, clapping his hands and sending two sets of pink colored porcelain to the secretary. They were exactly the same as the two sets of the real books on the table. The following ones printed four words of ”Dahua Xia system”.

Everyone was stunned!

Four as like as two peas! The two sets of as like as two peas in the two years of the Yong Zheng era were exactly the same as the patterns of the Qianlong years. This is impossible from the perspective of collection! It is as like as two peas of two genuine brands.

What does that mean?

While they were still in shock, Xia Shao got up with a smile and threw two sets of pastel porcelain identified as genuine on the table to the ground in public!

Her domineering and decisive move made the hearts of the people in the conference room tremble! I stared at two sets of precious powder porcelain. The porcelain couldn't be broken any more. The girl who did all this stood in the position of the chairman of the board and said with a smile: ”this is a fake object. We don't want it if it's true! What we want is these two sets of high imitations signed in China. In this way, we can enter the ceramic market.”

”High imitation?” even if they don't believe it any more, they also understand that the ”real product” smashed by Xia Shao is actually a high imitation, and it comes from one person with the two sets of pink porcelain inscribed ”Dahua summer made” on the table!
