"But it's not the most legendary. The most legendary is that with his excellent collection ability, in the 1950s, Qiu Lao picked up a big leak again in Hong Kong and bought a Ming Chenghua colorful chicken bowl cup with 1000 Hong Kong dollars. Everyone thought it was a fake, but in 1980, when Sotheby's auctioned it, it was 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars."

"When Qiu Lao bought this cup, he also happened to find it in the Hong Kong antique market. At a vendor's stall, this Ming Chenghua colorful chicken bowl cup had been placed for a long time and no one was interested in it. However, Qiu Lao did not hesitate to bid 1000 Hong Kong dollars to buy it."

"When friends around him appreciated it, they all thought he had bought a fake, but Mr. Qiu didn't think so. He specially studied it according to the historical materials, and made a special packing box for it, on which he signed his name and handwriting, never leaving his body."

"Later, Mr. Qiu transferred the chicken bowl cup to a London collector at a high price and made a lot of money. It caused a great sensation in the collection circle and was praised as a model of leak picking. The chicken bowl cup appeared at the auction in 1999 a few years ago and was finally sold for 30 million Hong Kong dollars. You should know that?"

After listening to this story, Lin Xi immediately reveres Qiu Lao. He relies on the heavenly eye power to pick up the leak. He basically has no real talent, but Qiu Lao picks up the leak by strength.

In contrast, Lin Xi is Li Gui at most in front of Qiu Lao, who is the real Li Kui.

Having said that, Lin Xi believed that as long as he worked hard, he would certainly be able to pick up the leak with his strength. So after a little sigh, he took out the chicken jar cup and held it in front of Shu.

"Shulao, please put your palms on."

Looking at Lin Xi's sincere and solemn manner, Shu Lao also became serious. He held out his hands to hold the chicken bowl cup in his hands and carefully examined it. Moreover, he was well prepared today. He took the tortoise shell magnifying glass that had been used for decades with him, which was just in use at this time.

As time went on, Shu became more and more serious, and his manner was solemn. But he didn't see it for a long time. He soon put down the magnifying glass and said with emotion, "good thing, really good thing. It's really rare that the well preserved doucai chicken jar cup."

"If I remember correctly, there are only 19 records in the whole world, and there are also some with incomplete appearance. You are really lucky."

Shulao's words are like a tranquilizing needle, which makes Lin Xi, who has been expecting for more than half a month and has been nervous all the time, feel more relaxed than ever before, just like the dust has settled down.

And with shulao's identification, this chicken bowl cup is 100% lost.

But in order to suppress the joy, Lin Xi pretended to be hesitant and said: "shulao, the time for you to see is too short, don't you want to see more?"

Being questioned by Lin Xi's lack of confidence, Shu laodun had no good way: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you suspect me? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The chicken jar cup in the Palace Museum was determined by my hand. Can I see that one or you? "

Lin Xi laughs bitterly and scolds himself for forgetting this. Shu used to work in the Cultural Relics Bureau, but his cultural relics are unknown. The chicken bowl cup in the Palace Museum is no exception.

In order to kill Shu Lao's anger, Lin Xi quickly shifted his voice: "Shu Lao, I heard that imitations of chicken bowl cups are very common. Can you teach me that I picked up this thing anyway? If someone tests me with this, I can't lose your face, can I?"

Shulao liked Lin Xi's attitude of seeking knowledge and learning, so he forgot to be angry and explained carefully: "you're right. The imitation of colorful chicken bowl cup is very common. Since you asked, I'll tell you."

"Let's start with the imitations of the Ming Dynasty. Since the appearance of the chicken jar cup, there have been a large number of imitations in the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli dynasties of the Ming Dynasty. Although the color and style of the imitations are more detailed than those of the real ones, they are not without flaws."

"For example, the strokes of the imitations of the three dynasties are thick, sparse, and the circles are too large. The strokes of the imitations are similar to those of the Chenghua style, but different in strength, and the colors are thick but not bright. Only the clouds and bubbles are similar to those of the Chenghua kiln, which can be confused."

At this point, Mr. Shu opened the stainless steel teacup and moistened his voice. Then he continued: "as for the imitations of the Qing Dynasty, they are better than those of the Ming Dynasty. In particular, they are similar to the genuine ones in color and style."

"However, Chenghua real models all show a layer of cloud haze, with bubbles like beads, and the blue and white color of the characters is obscure, while the Qing Dynasty imitation models can be seen under the magnifying glass that the cloud haze is very light, the bubbles are uneven, and the cyan color of the characters also appears lax, the color of the fetus is slightly yellow or white, and the bottom is slightly yellow where the glaze and sand are connected"

although Mr. Shu is serious, Lin Xi didn't listen to much, but instead In the bottom of my heart, how to auction out the chicken bowl cup, in order to exchange for greater benefits.

More than ten minutes later, as soon as shulao finished talking about the chicken jar cup, Lin Xi couldn't wait to ask: "shulao, how much money can I put this chicken jar cup into the auction house?"

Shu is old and strong. He doesn't know Lin Xi's small plan. He just doesn't want to break it. But Lin Xi wants to sell it, and he won't stop him."Putting it into the operation of the auction house can really maximize the revenue. This cup sold at a high price of HK $30 million a few years ago. Now it's only high, but it's not low. There should be no problem with RMB 40 million."

After a pause, Shu added: "if the auction house operates well, there will be more. However, after deducting the Commission and publicity expenses, you can get 40 million yuan. How come you want to change hands on this cup and don't want to collect it yourself?"

Lin Xi touched his nose awkwardly and said with a smile: "Hey, Shu Lao, you know I'm not elegant. Chicken bowl is a good thing. Why don't I appreciate it? It's better to sell it to someone who will cherish it than to put the Pearl in his hand

"Besides, although the chicken bowl is good, there is no real money. You don't know that I'm poor. I've been poor since I was a child. I can't find a wife if I don't save some more money."

"And if you think about it, if you take a wife, you have to have a child. If you want a child, you have to pay for milk powder. In the future, you have to provide for him to go to school, marry a wife and have children. There are so many places to spend money. Can I do it if I don't work harder?"

Although what Lin Xi said was true, Shu Lao frowned and said, "your poor Kung Fu has improved a lot. From last year to now, you've picked up more than five million yuan. You've earned money that other people can't earn in their whole lives. Are you satisfied?"

Taking a deep look at Linxi, shulao continued with profound meaning: "if you are poor, there will be more beggars on the street... Forget it, this thing is yours, and I can't be the master. You can make up your own mind. Anyway, you have plenty of reasons."

Originally, he thought that shulao would stop him, but he thought too much about it. Lin Xi was so happy: "Hey, shulao, I'm afraid you don't agree, or you can send the Buddha to the West and do me a favor?"

"For what?"

"As you know, these auction houses in Mingzhou are all small and medium-sized. Maybe they can't sell this chicken bowl cup. Do you think you can help me find a reliable big auction that can match the top number?"

As Lin Xi said, the current domestic large-scale auctions are either concentrated in Hong Kong and Macao, or concentrated in Kyoto and the cloud. If you want to maximize the value of the chicken bowl, you must find top auction houses to cooperate.

But in this area, Lin Xi is like a blind man. He goes out with a black eye. He doesn't know which auction house is the most powerful, so he wants to ask Mr. Shu for help.

As a leading figure in the antique industry, shulao must have extremely rich contacts here.

Lin Xi said the truth, Shu naturally understand: "this is easy to say, I'll leave you a phone number, you call to consult, with my old man's thin face, it should be no problem."

Speaking of this, Shu suddenly asked: "silly boy, it doesn't matter if you want to auction this chicken bowl cup, but the operation cycle of the auction house is relatively long for such a valuable thing"
