Unparalleled Treasures

Yuan Defang came over holding the stone with a smile, and some knowledgeable people saw it, and there were words of admiration in their mouths: "Good thing!"

At the table in front of the king, one of the rich men also knew a lot. When he saw the blood-red stone, he immediately praised: "What a top-quality chicken-blood stone, what a high-level carver!"

As soon as Yuan Defang brought it to the stage, Zhong Yishan and the other four were all moved. Zhong Yishan, who was at the front, quickly took it. There was a rooster on the bloodstone, and the chicken feet stepped on a white stone. There were a few wisps beside the white stone Green grass, the blood crest on the head of the rooster is bright red, the feathers on the body are red, yellow and white, and the colors are endlessly changing. The rooster seems to be chasing and pecking insects, vividly, judging from this appearance, it is very eye-catching!

Usually, half of the value of a chicken blood stone lies in its own quality, and half in the hands of the engraver. The combination of the two can reach the limit, and the carving of chicken blood stone pays attention to the natural color and luster combined with exquisite carving.

Zhong Yishan looked at it and praised: "Good, good stone, good carver, good good!"

The six consecutive "good" words made the people around the stage even more excited, and Yuan Defang, who was standing by the stage, even showed a complacent expression.

This bloodstone is fresh, condensed, thick, dripping with blood, faintly penetrating deep into the stone layer, the ground is translucent, without nails, and the colors complement each other, which looks very refreshing.

The people at Wang Qian's table were all attracted by the bloodstone. Wang Qian turned his head and asked Zhang Can again in a low voice: "Zhang Can, this bloodstone is a good thing. How much is it worth?"

Having said that, but Wang Qian estimated in his heart that this chicken blood stone is worth at least tens of millions, but how much it is worth depends on the reputation of the carving master. If it is a very famous master, the price is at least It will be doubled, or even higher.

After Zhong Yishan saw it, he handed it to Huang Mo reluctantly, while still admiring "tsk tsk", he didn't expect to see a treasure in today's event!

After the three masters Huang Mo, Lan Zhiqi, and Xu Qianfan had seen it all, the four of them nodded happily. They had no objection to Zhong Yishan's "good" appraisal and agreed. It can be said that Yuan Defang's chicken blood stone is indeed It is a priceless treasure.

After Yuan Defang saw that the four masters had read it, he immediately asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhong, Mr. Huang, Mr. Lan, and Mr. Xu, what are the appraisals of the four masters?"

Zhong Yishan also nodded with a smile and said: "There is no doubt that this is a top-quality chicken blood stone. First, let me talk about the characteristics of the chicken blood stone itself. You see, this stone color is covered with blood all over the body, and the blood content is almost 60.00%. Between 70.00%, the color is bright red, and its color distribution is mixed with other colors, which just constitute the various colors of the chicken body. The natural color is rich, and there are a few wisps of grass on the stone on the bottom of the chicken's feet. What a coincidence. !"

Having said that, Zhong Yishan took another sip of tea from his teacup, moistened his throat, and then explained again: "The price of chicken blood is good or bad, and the factor that affects the price the most is the color of the blood, the color of the blood. Quantity, blood shape, that is to say, the color of blood, the amount of blood, and the shape of blood. These three points are the most important. The color of bloodstone is best with bright red, followed by vermilion, and dark red is worse. , the bright red color is the best, also known as "living blood". Known as 'Dead Blood'."

"Second, blood volume. The bright red blood color on the surface of a chicken blood stone must be greater than 30.00% to be considered a high-end product, and the area greater than 70.00% is a treasure. However, the more blood volume, the better. Generally speaking, with 70.00% to 80.00% is the best, but 80.00%, if it exceeds this amount, or it is completely red, it is cinnabar, and it cannot be called bloodstone."

"The third point is the blood shape. There are star-shaped blood shapes, stripe-shaped blood shapes, and block-shaped blood shapes. Generally speaking, if the blood shape is like a cloud or fog, it can form various shapes. All kinds of natural figures, the value immediately rises, generally speaking, if a piece of natural chicken blood stone is of good quality, it does not need to be carved at all, and nature is the most expensive!"

When Zhong Yishan said these words, he couldn't help but speak eloquently, and no matter what other people thought, he himself was completely immersed in this chicken blood stone anyway.

Wang Qian also nodded in praise, and then asked Zhang Can: "What do you think?"

Zhang Can thought for a while, smiled again, and whispered something in Wang Qian's ear. Wang Qian was startled, and then asked in a low voice, "Really?"

Zhang Can nodded affirmatively, but did not speak.

Wang Qian suddenly became thoughtful, while looking at Zhong Yishan and the others, he pondered again.

After Zhong Yishan finished speaking, he smiled at Huang Mo again and said, "Old Huang, there is this sculptor. I checked and I think this sculptor is the work of Xu Xiaoxian from Youzhushan. What do you think?"

Huang Mo also nodded and said: "I also feel that his technique is similar to his. The handmade knife is vigorous, like bamboo and leaves, and the two seal characters of 'Xu Jian' on the sole of the bloodstone are enough to show the handmade origin of this bloodstone, hehe , top-quality bloodstone, plus Xu Jian's handwriting, this thing, over..." He stretched out his right palm, and said with a smile: "More than this number!"

Lan Zhiqi turned his head and nodded to the assistant, "Bring the paper and pen here."

The assistant immediately brought over the paper and pen, and Lan Zhiqi was about to dip in ink to write the appraisal certificate, and then the four of them stamped their own seals respectively. Yuan Defang's chicken blood stone will become a veritable treasure in the future!

Wang Qian immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Lao Lan, Huang Lao, Zhong Lao, Xu Lao, um, let's take a rest in the lounge first, let's chat for a while, everyone rest for a while!"

Zhong Yishan and the others were stunned. They all understood the dignity of the former king. In one word, the four of Zhong Yishan knew that the king must have something important to say, otherwise they wouldn't be in this kind of situation. When the time came to interrupt them, they pondered for a while, then nodded immediately.

The host didn't dare to object. Although the hall is full of wealthy people, in terms of status, no one can compare to Wang Qian.

Lu Shaoqi hurriedly accompanied Wang Qian, pointing to the lounge in the corner of the hall. Wang Qian took Su Xue with one hand and Zhang Can with the other, and entered the lounge first, followed by the four masters, and finally Lu Shaoqi.

But Wang Qian turned around and said to Lu Shaoqi: "Shaoqi, you guard me outside, don't let anyone in!"

Lu Shaoqi was startled, and retreated a little embarrassedly, and then refused to allow the assistants of the four masters and the host of the organizer to enter.

The sound insulation in the lounge is very good, and the air conditioner is very powerful. You can't hear or see the inside from the outside. Of course, the people inside can't hear the sound from the outside.

Wang Qian let go of his hand in front of the sofa in the lounge, and signaled to the four masters: "Four masters, please sit down!"

Zhong Yishan was the most straightforward, and said with a smile: "Wang Sanshao, I, Old Zhong, have known you for not a day or two. You know me and I know you, so don't be too polite. Call the four of us in, it must be If you have something to say, just say it!"

Wang Qian nodded, pointed to Su Xue and Zhang Can and introduced: "Four teachers, these two young people are not outsiders, one is my eldest sister's daughter named Su Xue, the other is Su Xue's fiancé, His name is Zhang Can, and he is also my good friend. The one I want to introduce to the four masters is actually Zhang Can. Fang Jixueshi has a different opinion, so in order to protect the reputation of the four masters, I called them in first!"

Wang Qian's words immediately stunned Zhong Yishan and the other four people. Although Wang Qian is a son of a noble family with a noble status, he is extremely calm and not arrogant in his actions, so they respect Wang Qian more. From, but what Wang Qian said now makes them feel unreliable.

First of all, Zhang Can is a young young man. If you want to say that you have a high attainment in antique appraisal, you can just talk about it. Anyone can say it, but Wang Qian said that he has different opinions on the bloodstone that he just appraised. , what does that mean?

If it is better, it is just icing on the cake, and there is nothing special about it. If it is not a good thing, then it is absolutely impossible.

At the very least, Zhang Can couldn't possibly be stronger than them anyway, and this was appraised by the four of them together.

Zhong Yishan and the others immediately looked at Zhang Can indifferently. How dare such an immature young man tell them what to say?

Do you want to be famous, rich and crazy?

"Oh, hey, who is Xiao Zhang? Hey, then tell me, what are the differences in your views?"

Of course Zhang Can knew the anger in these four old men's hearts. With their high reputation, they were simply incomparable top figures in this industry. Of course, he couldn't tolerate the wrong finger of such a little-known little man.

With a faint smile, Zhang Cancai said softly: "Four teachers, I just doubt it, and I can't take it seriously, but in order not to let the four teachers fall asleep, and to keep improving, I will talk about it. Anyway, there are only a few of us here. I said If four teachers are wrong, it is a joke."

Zhong Yishan and the others just stared at Zhang Can coldly, to see what mistakes and shortcomings he could tell. In fact, they would never believe that he could tell any real shortcomings.

Zhang Can said indifferently: "Just now I also heard from Mr. Zhong that good bloodstones are not carved, and nature is the most precious, but any carved bloodstone is generally just to cover up its flaws. The gentleman's bloodstone outside , I also saw that the chicken blood has flaws, and the bright parts are really bright, and the blood color is also good, but there are parts of the chicken body and tail that are relatively dark. I don’t know if the four teachers found it. In fact, the hole was drilled, then filled with mercury sulfide, soaked in resin, this is a point, it belongs to the method of "adding blood on blood", covering up a little of the dark blood!"

Zhong Yishan's four people all sneered at Zhang Can's statement, obviously they didn't believe it, if it wasn't for Wang Qian's face, they would have turned their faces and got angry on the spot, Zhang Can is such a brat, what can he be? ?

Zhang Can smiled lightly, knowing their reaction, he was not surprised, and said: "In addition, the four teachers also identified that this chicken blood stone is the work of Xu Jian in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, this is also an illusion, it is a modern one. Xu Jian's technique imitated by the master sculptor."
