The two vases and one porcelain plate were dug out from the sea water tens of meters deep by Boss Jing himself. Of course, Li Shu could tell that they were not fakes made in the past few years.
But what Li Shu didn't expect was that appraiser Yin Sumei admitted very simply and said directly: "I'm sorry, I used a video to appraise the porcelain before, and there was a deviation. As soon as I touched the surface of the porcelain, I knew it was absolutely incredible. Not fake.
Only after decades or even centuries of seawater erosion can this light grainy texture form on the surface of porcelain. I hereby apologize to you and hope that my negligence has not caused you any trouble. "
The old lady Yin Sumei apologized to Li Shu in person, which made Li Shu look stiff and said: "Ahem, it's okay. It's easy to make mistakes in picture identification through video. Please continue to help me identify these three pieces of porcelain, actually I mainly want to know how much these three pieces of porcelain are worth... Well, of course I also want to know more about their exquisiteness, I still love to learn."
Lawyer Du Dabing, who was standing next to Li Shu, held back his smile and thought to himself: "Yin Sumei must have thought that I told Li Shu her previous identification results, and she thought that Li Shu would be worried because the porcelain was identified as fake. In fact, I She didn't tell Li Shu about her previous identification results at all, so for Li Shu, there was no "trouble" at all."
"No problem." Yin Sumei agreed: "This "Chenghua Jiaotu narrow-mouth bottle" is indeed from the Chenghua period. Look at its glaze... "
Next, Yin Sumei gave Li Shuxiu some professional knowledge, from the glaze to the design of the bottle body, from its use to the documents that had recorded this kind of bottle, citing scriptures, and interspersed with comparisons between similar porcelain bottles in the Tang Dynasty and similar porcelain bottles in the Song Dynasty. , talk about the differences and similarities between them, how to identify fake bottles, etc.
Yin Sumei's apprentice "Li Kun" bent down to listen. The expression on his face was really intoxicated, as if the problem that had been bothering him for many years was solved. His face flushed with excitement, and he asked questions from time to time, and even talked to him. His teacher Yin Sumei learned two tricks.
Li Shu frowned more and more. He remembered that he skipped two advanced mathematics classes in college, and then when he went to take advanced mathematics classes, he found that he was listening to the bible. But now, listening to these antique appraisal knowledge feels more difficult than it was then. !
Lawyer Du Dabing, on the other hand, was much "smarter", so he didn't go looking for trouble and just leisurely read the latest version of the legal provisions.
"This old lady is so powerful..." Li Shu's mind was full of thoughts for a moment: "But what if this old lady makes fake antiques? She knows the flaws of ordinary fake antiques and the firing process of various porcelains. I’m afraid the fake antiques she made are enough to look real.”
Li Shu's idea is a bit "evil", but he feels that his idea has a certain truth. Some antique counterfeiting masters may be masters of antique appraisal.
"The two porcelain vases and the porcelain plate are both from the Chenghua period. They are beautifully made and well preserved. According to the estimate... each porcelain vase is about 8 million ringgit, and the porcelain plate is about 4 million ringgit."
When Li Shu heard the price, his pupils shrank in shock, and then he was ecstatic. The price was far beyond his expectations.
But after he was overjoyed, he wondered: "Is this price accurate? The amount of porcelain fished from the sea is large and of poor quality. How can it be priced so high?"
Yin Sumei felt that her professional knowledge had been questioned, and the corners of her mouth turned down for a moment, with a hint of displeasure. She didn't want to raise her head to talk to Li Shu, so she waved Li Shu to sit opposite her:
"Young man, porcelain is also collected from the sea, but it is also divided into three, six and nine. In fact, even an ordinary small private kiln has a certain probability of producing exquisite porcelain that is no less than the official kiln. Ah, although the probability is very small, it does not mean that it is impossible."
"You mean..."
"Yes, your two vases and a porcelain plate, although not the best, are still high-quality, and the stock is very rare, so the price has gone up." Yin Sumei took a sip of tea and continued: "I am engaged in I have been appraising porcelain for many years, and I know some collectors who are quite wealthy. If you plan to sell these three pieces of porcelain, I can help contact the buyers."
"Thank you very much." Li Shu's face was full of joy and he thanked her heartily.
He was still worried about where to get money to buy fry and raise fish, but he didn't expect that three pieces of porcelain would solve his urgent need.
"I am indeed a person with great luck. If this were in a novel, I would definitely be the protagonist!" Li Shu thought.
Yin Sumei did not evade, and directly took out her mobile phone to call the buyer. She pronounced it very quickly. It was Singaporean Cantonese that Li Shu couldn't understand, mixed with difficult English. But one of the words made Li Shu stunned. That word That's it - picking up leaks.
He was sure that his ears heard correctly. Yin Sumei did say the word "pick up the leak".
"I..." Li Shu raised his eyebrows and said in his mind: "Are you so arrogant? In front of me, the owner of the porcelain, you said you want to pick up my leaks?"
Yin Sumei's apprentice "Li Kun" sitting next to him seemed to notice something was wrong with Li Shu's expression, and even spoke for his master: "Mr. Li, it's just a small leak. I want the other party to be happy and come to buy your porcelain. You have to let others earn some money. Even if you sell it yourself, it will definitely take more time, but it is not necessarily whether you can sell it at a higher price in the end."
Yin Sumei had already finished the phone call, and she looked directly into Li Shu's eyes: "Three pieces of porcelain are worth a total of 20 million ringgit. Do you want to sell them? If you don't want to sell them, it's not too late for me to call my friend and ask him to go back. It'll save money." It’s a waste of time.”
Li Shuyi gritted his teeth: "Sell!"
Soon, Li Shu looked downstairs from the window and saw a red Maybach slowly parked downstairs under the protection of two bodyguard cars. When Li Shu saw the buyer, he smiled bitterly: "It's really true. It’s fate, but I should have guessed it was hers.”
Soon, the click of high heels on the floor was heard outside the door, and then the door was pushed open with a creak.
"Li Shu, is it you!?"
Li Shu also stood up and said with a smile: "President Vecna, what a fate, we meet again."
The buyer of the porcelain was "Vecna", the owner of Spinco Club, who was also a jewelry merchant. Li Shu sold pearls to her many times and even went to her club to soak his feet.
"Actually, when I saw the pearl necklace around Appraiser Yin Sumei's neck, I guessed that someone knew her." Li Shu smiled and invited Vecna to sit down.
Vekna is a typical high-caste Indian woman, with a high nose, big eyes, tall and slightly fat, and she always exudes an arrogant aura similar to "I am a noble, and you are all untouchables."
The arrogance in her bones was passed down from generation to generation in their family. Maybe she didn't even notice it. Maybe she still felt that she didn't have any arrogance at all.
