Chapter 41 Consummation

Soon, the appraisal results of Xu Zhendong also came out. He put down the yellow and green glaze jar lightly, and Jin Duoduo hurried forward to protect him. It was obvious that he cared about this treasure.

However, he wanted to see something from Xu Zhendong's face, but he couldn't do it. Xu Zhendong is a battlefield-ridden person. If he hadn't really wanted to tell you, even if you pester him and insist on commenting, you have to think carefully about it to understand it.

However, Xu Zhendong had to discuss with Zhou Xia in a low voice first, and then notify Jin Duoduo to ask for different appraisers from a company to give different appraisal results, which is a bit embarrassing.

Xu Zhendong spoke first, "I think it's true, Zhou Xia, what do you think!"

Zhou Xia nodded, "I think it's true. It's probably in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and such artistic yellow-green glaze is quite rare. Good things, if you plan them carefully, you should achieve good results."

Xu Zhendong nodded and smiled, "Indeed, I have never seen such colors and styles before, so I guess everyone else is similar."

The two of them had a consistent identification results, so Liu Yuqing naturally had no need to go up to the identification personally. She also signaled Zhou Xia to take down his fat fellow villager.

Zhou Xia took the order and left. After seeing that he discussed with the master, Jin Duoduo came over. It was obvious that he came to announce the appraisal result. He was also very nervous and began to get close to him. "My fellow villager, I just offended you. You are not a villain. Don't bother with me. I am a person who is prone to being confused and will definitely change when I look back."

Zhou Xia laughed and said, "My fellow villager, don't worry. Even if the thing is not real, I will not smash your baby."

"My fellow, don't scare me. Don't look at me as big as I'm not scared!" Jin Duoduo almost trembled when he heard this. He felt that his little heart could not bear it.

Zhou Xia used to think that those hosts who are stolen by the appetite on TV shows were particularly hateful. They had to delay the results even though the results were all out. They were impatient when everyone was upset and then announced the result. However, he is also doing the same set, and it feels really good. "Before the appraisal results are announced, I would like to ask first, if it is genuine, are you willing to hand this collection over to our Tiandi Auction Company for auction?"

Jin Duoduo nodded straight, "I do, of course I do."

Zhou Xia said with satisfaction, "Then I will tell the truth!"

Jin Duoduo was so nervous that he was not breathing much. He just heard Zhou Xia say, "This large yellow-green glaze jar has a dense body, a mellow color, natural opening, clear and smooth patterns, and the shape and style of the instrument are similar to those in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. However, there were slight damage to the mouth and bottom of the tank, but it is not easy to preserve it well. It was identified as a rare high-quality product in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. The estimated price is about 60,000 yuan. Congratulations to the fellow villagers!"

When Zhou Xia said that, Jin Duoduo's heart was almost in his throat. Who knew that no matter how praising it before, the "but" behind it was the most critical. After he said that it was indeed the authentic product from the middle Tang Dynasty, Jin Duoduo felt relieved and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you fellow villagers! You have troubled you."

Zhou Xia hurriedly responded, "My fellow villager, you are too polite! If you have no objections to our appraisal and valuation, you can sign an auction contract with us and be able to participate in this autumn auction."

Jin Duoduo was naturally confused, "Since it is the authentic product from the middle Tang Dynasty, how long it will take for the middle Tang Dynasty? Is it a little less than the estimated price of 60,000 yuan?"

Zhou Xia often encountered this situation before, so he patiently explained, "My fellow countryman, you may not know much about the current market conditions. It is not that the older the collection, the higher the value. Let me tell you this way, ancient porcelain like this has always been unfavorable in the domestic market. Now the ones that can be sold at sky-high prices are basically Ming and Qing porcelain. What's more, your piece is not considered porcelain, but it can only be regarded as painted pottery. But its external performance and glaze color are particularly good, so we give such a high valuation.

In fact, if you go to the auction, our starting price may be set a lower price. Our auction company will promote it more. As long as someone likes it and competes for a few times, the price will easily rise. We are all fellow villagers and don’t tell you those false ones. If someone tells you that you are a national treasure, and your value must be over one million and one million, you must be lying to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. That must be lying to you. If you can’t believe me, you might as well go and investigate it yourself to see if I have lie to you with lies.”

Jin Duoduo looked at him and didn't seem to be lying. In fact, before he sent his baby to the auction company, he had conducted some investigations and had some understanding of the market conditions. After all, now that information is so developed, as long as collectors take more care, they can reduce the probability of being cheated.

"I can trust my fellow villagers, so I will hand over the treasure to your auction company for auction." Jin Duoduo originally wanted to take the collection for auction, so he agreed immediately.

"Thank you for your support from fellow villagers!" Zhou Xia invited Wang Yanli to come and help to handle the commissioned auction contract for this large yellow-green glaze jar.

He talked about Jin Duoduo and asked his ancestors if they had served as officials or minor officials in the Tang Dynasty.

Jin Duoduo was a little confused. Zhou Xia smiled and said, "My fellow villager, you said this treasure was passed down from your ancestors. I guess that such fine pottery, even from folk kilns, is not something ordinary people can afford. Perhaps it is not necessarily leaked from the palace. Didn't Emperor Xuanzong of Tang go to Sichuan for a while due to the Anshi Rebellion? I guess that this pottery was probably created at that time because the glaze color is particularly rare. At that time, only Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji had such artistic talent, especially in depression. When he was forced to kill Yang Guifei, this kind of artistic talent, which is as poetic as a painting and freehand painting, is completely displayed. When the fellow villager returns home, he can find the family tree or ask the elders of the clan to carefully examine it. Contact me at that time and we will make some plans."

Only then did Jin Duoduo suddenly realize that Zhou Xia, a fellow villager, was really helping him!

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a story or folk legend behind each antique collection. No matter whether these stories are true or false, as long as they are told vividly and let others believe it.

Jin Duoduo is not a fool either. He naturally understands that if it is related to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang entering Sichuan and his tragic love story with Yang Guifei, it will be much more meaningful and valuable than his so-called inherited things, and the auction price will naturally rise.

Zhou Xia would not communicate with people like Jin Duoduo like Liu Yuqing. If he said everything, he might not know what you want to do if you say so much in the clouds.

Jin Duoduo smiled so hard that his eyes almost narrowed, "Remind more fellow villagers, I will definitely ask carefully when I go back."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you find it. Just confirm that it was passed down by your ancestors." Zhou Xia just said casually just now, but he didn't dare to expect Jin Duoduo to really find the exact evidence.

The two discussed, and when Xu Zhendong next to him heard it, he felt more and more interesting. Zhou Xia was really good at telling stories this time, which made him connect Yang Guifei, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not ruled out that this possibility does exist.

When Xu Zhendong looked at Liu Yuqing again, she also looked like she agreed. He exclaimed softly, "Zhou Xia's promotional planning is indeed good. This picture-like yellow-green glaze pottery can indeed bear such feelings."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "I was just about to say this. Glaze colors like this are really rare. Things are precious because they are rare. No matter whether the story can impress others, as long as this thing is a fine product, things will be much easier. I can absolutely trust the appraisal level of Master Xu and Master Zhou."

"Zhou Xia is also more accurate in the price. Many powerful collectors don't care about this little money at all. If they think the price is not high and they compete to join the competition, the scene will be even better." Xu Zhendong nodded and said that at the state of his and Liu Yuqing, he would not easily believe the story behind these collections, only reading things but not listening to stories. But putting things at auctions, promoting and planning properly, and things are fine products. Even if most bidders are not infected by the story, as long as there are a few bidders moved, the price will naturally be raised. For auction companies, this is the result they are happy to see. The higher the price, the more commission the auction company can receive.

In addition to the two of them, Wang Yanli, who helped sign the contract and Wang Chao, who was in charge of taking photos, were also shocked by Zhou Xia's imaginative thinking.

"I really dare to think!" Wang Chao felt ashamed, but thinking about that era and what Zhou Xia said, maybe there was such a possibility.

With admiration for Zhou Xia, Wang Yanli had to explain to Jin Duoduo that the company charges the catalog fee. "We usually charge the catalog fee according to the valuation rate, which is mainly used for the cost of taking pictures, making catalogs and promoting and planning. The estimate of the treasures your fellow villager Zhou Xia is not high, and the catalog fee you need to pay is very small. Some companies like to estimate the sky-high price, which can cost millions of millions of yuan, so the catalog fee will rise. I guess that a baby like you will have to pay at least tens of thousands of yuan."

Jin Duoduo had done some homework before, "I heard that some large auction companies will not charge catalog fees!"

Wang Yanli said, "You must have been misled. They do not charge the catalog fee, but will charge it after the transaction is completed. The scale of our auction company is not as good as theirs, so there are differences in business methods. But Mr. Jin, you can rest assured that our Tiandi Auction Company is a company with first-class cultural relics auction qualifications. You can also check our company's past auction records, which are all public."

Wang Yanli also saw a lot of such situations, and Zhou Xia and the others didn't need to take action. After she explained patiently, Jin Duoduo didn't say much, and paid a few hundred yuan to ask Wang Yanli to help get the commissioned auction done.

After the contract was signed, Jin Duoduo's large yellow and green glaze jar was kept by Tiandi Auction Company. Zhou Xia also told him that he would ensure that it would be held at the autumn auction of Tiandi Auction Company and strive to achieve the best results.

Jin Duoduo expressed his gratitude to him repeatedly, and finally Zhou Xia sent him out in person.

At this point, Zhou Xia's first appraiser's debut was successfully completed.
