Jin Yutong

Chapter 289 Oolong

"Mr. Bai, I brought you some tea that you haven't tasted before this time. Since you said so, I'll show you something. look..."

Chen Ran said with a determined face, that's what he said, but he didn't mean to open the purse to take out the things at all, he smiled lightly, changed the subject, shook his head and said: "But before taking out the things, I I have something else to ask you..."

Hearing that Chen Ran said that he had never seen the good things he brought, Mr. Bai was immediately surprised. Antiques are different from tea leaves. This privately made tea has not been circulated outside. He has never seen it before. That's okay, but It's different if you change the antiques.

This was said by Chen Ran. If it were someone else, his old man would definitely think it was a boastful talk. Who would dare to say such a sentence in front of his old man? Throwing this person out, but changing to Chen Ran, he couldn't help but not believe it.

Bai Lei was absolutely unconvinced to Chen Ran from the bottom of his heart. The reason, of course, was that Mr. Bai valued Chen Ran. During this period of time, every time Mr. Bai taught him a lesson, he had to mention it in front of him. Chen Ran, he has praised Chen Ran to the sky, how can he be convinced.

It's just that although he was not convinced by Chen Ran, but with the tea leaves just now at the bottom, he didn't open his mouth this time, but he could tell from the expression on his face that he didn't believe it.

"Oh? Then tell me..."

Old man Bai was surprised, but he didn't rush to ask Chen Ran to take out the things immediately, instead he asked about the things Chen Ran wanted to ask, obviously because he was interested in what Chen Ran wanted to say.

"Mr. Bai, that's the case. I've been thinking about collecting a set of Kangxi Colorful December Flower God Cups. The news was released two days ago, but someone really contacted me..."

What Chen Ran wanted to talk about was the scene of the transaction between Yuzhou and Mr. Dai on the road. Up until now, he hadn't figured out what happened, but even though he didn't know what happened, he could guess it. What was wrong with him caused Mr. Dai to mistakenly think that he didn’t understand antiques at all, so it’s better to ask him first, so that he won’t have to worry about buying the Kangxi Five-Color Flower God Cup with other people in the future. I also encountered such a situation, and in the end, he threw up his sleeves and walked out, so he had nowhere to cry.

In the world of antiques, such things are very normal. Even if some collectors want to resell their own collections, it will depend on the person. If it is not a person, even if they are in a hurry to sell, they may not necessarily sell it.

You know why, the reason is very simple, for fear of being ruined.

This is like raising a daughter for most of her life. When you want to marry off your daughter, you must choose a son-in-law to see if he can make your daughter happy. For collectors, it is not an exaggeration to say that the treasures they collect are their adopted daughters. Many of the treasures they collect have been collected for several years or decades, and they have already collected their feelings. Not to mention collectors, even ordinary people, some furniture and toys have been used for several years, and they are reluctant to throw them away easily.

Compared with ordinary people, real collectors are undoubtedly more "obsessed" with their treasures. When they have to choose a new owner for their treasures, some people are even more careful in the selection process than choosing a son-in-law. The most basic point is that this person must understand antiques and understand the value of their treasures. Apart from this, it also depends on character... These two points are necessary. Good character, but don't understand antiques, that's not okay , know antiques, but the character is not good, that's not okay.

All this was done, of course, to prevent the new owners from spoiling their treasure.

Just like Mr. Dai, Mr. Dai is not a real collector, but he has collected this pair of Huashen cups for several years, and he has a little bit of affection. After hearing that Chen Ran has no common sense on antiques, he said nothing. Not to mention, he just slammed the door and left. Naturally, he was afraid of changing hands to Chen and his treasure would not be maintained well, and it would be broken...that is, he was afraid of being ruined.

Although Chen Ran didn't figure out the reason for Mr. Dai's sudden change of attitude, he could guess what Mr. Dai was thinking, so he had to ask clearly about this, so as to avoid such a situation from happening again.

Every antique has a story behind it, and even the historical background of that era. Collectors are obsessed with antiques. In addition to the charm of the antiques themselves, they are also obsessed with the stories behind them, like some Collectors are obsessed with a certain dynasty, and they only collect antiques from this dynasty. In front of collectors like them, if they say the wrong thing, to them, it is questioning them and insulting them... Of course, it is also a disrespect for history.

Chen Ran didn't want to be such a sinner.

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Chen Ran's talk to the end, Mr. Bai was taken aback for a moment, but then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Old man, don't keep laughing, first tell me what's going on here?" Old man Bai's smile lasted for a long time before it stopped, and Chen Ran could only interrupt him dumbfounded.

"The complete set of Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God Cups has never appeared before. You want to collect a set. Isn't this whimsical?" Bai Lei couldn't help but sneered before Mr. Bai answered. I am not good at it, but I also know that the Kangxi colorful twelve flower cups are rare, and it is impossible to collect a set, not to mention the rarity of other cups, just the August osmanthus cup that has never appeared before. Get everyone out of this thought.

"Cough cough..." Mr. Bai stopped laughing, waved his hand and gave Bai Lei a look, coughed twice, looked at Chen Ran and said with a smile: "You're right, but he's not wrong at all. Thinking of fooling you with counterfeit products, I sold you the cups from the Republic of China, if it was from the Kangxi Dynasty, how could it be transferred to you so cheaply..."

Chen Ran understood Bai Lao's words, that is to say, when Mr. Dai passed the cup to him, he passed it to him as the Flower God Cup of the Republic of China. He understood it, but it was even more inexplicable...see Chen Ran couldn't figure it out, old man Bai laughed, and then he explained generously.

In fact, the reason is that Chen Ran ignored one word, the word "chao". Although there is only one more word in the Kangxi Dynasty Blue and White Colorful December Flower God Cup and the Kangxi Blue and White Colorful December Flower God Cup, the meaning they represent is different. is different.

In the final analysis, it was because the blue and white multicolored December Flower God Cups in the Kangxi Dynasty were too rare.

Since the blue-and-white multicolored Twelve Moon Flower God Cups in the Kangxi Dynasty were famous official kiln products for a while, there were many imitations from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. System" in six characters.

Because the blue-and-white multicolored December Flower God Cups from the Kangxi Dynasty were rarely handed down from generation to generation, even if someone collected them, they were regarded as treasures, and basically did not circulate in the market. However, it is very popular on the market. Since the inscriptions are also made in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, these cups have a unified name, that is, the Kangxi blue and white colorful December flower god cup.

That is to say, whether it is the blue and white colorful December flower god cup in the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, it is called the Kangxi blue and white colorful December flower god cup in the circle. In modern terms, it is the Kangxi blue and white colorful twelve month cup. The Moon Flower God Cup has already formed a brand. There is no such thing as an imitation of the Republic of China, and it is only a modern imitation of the Kangxi Dynasty or the Republic of China. This is called a fake.

However, Chen Ran did not distinguish this point. He asked to buy the Kangxi blue and white multicolored twelve-month flower god cup, but he did not say that it was the blue-and-white multicolored December flower god cup from the Kangxi Dynasty. Mr. Dai was holding the blue-and-white multicolored December flower god cup from the Republic of China. Naturally, it is not possible to fool him. Later, he pointed out that Mr. Dai's cup was an imitation of the Republic of China. Naturally, this outsider statement choked Mr. Dai, and Mr. Dai mistakenly thought that he had no knowledge of antiques at all. Don't think it's strange.

The Kangxi blue and white multicolored December flower god cups that are in circulation in the market are all from the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. The real Kangxi Dynasty cups are basically not in circulation. Mr. Dai mistakenly thought that Chen Ran didn’t know any common sense about antiques, but he still wanted to collect them. A set of blue and white multicolored Twelve Flower God Cups from the Kangxi Dynasty, which is impossible to collect, is obviously whimsical.

After listening to Mr. Bai's explanation, Chen Ran finally understood what was going on, and couldn't help but wryly smiled. He hadn't come into contact with the Kangxi Colorful December Flower God Cup before, so he didn't understand it. Although he has come into contact with it now, he is also concerned about Kangxi The blue and white multicolored December Flower God Cup of the dynasty, so I don't know the way to do this.

The status of the circle of antiques is very serious. First of all, the circle of antiques itself is a big circle, but within this big circle, there are circles of all sizes. Porcelain lovers are a circle, and the professional collectors of Kangxi blue and white colorful twelve The Moon Flower God Cup is naturally a small circle in the porcelain circle. Only by jumping into these circles can we understand and feel the charm of antiques more deeply.

"It's nothing, it's just an oolong..." Mr. Bai laughed and waved his hands to signal Chen Ran not to take it to heart, and then shook his head with emotion: "Xiao Ran, the Kangxi Dynasty blue and white colorful December flower god cup Needless to say, it is the wish of every porcelain lover to collect a set of blue and white multicolored December flower god cups from the Kangxi Dynasty, but you must not indulge in them. When I was young , I once vowed to collect a set, but in the end I only collected three of them. It was not until so many years later that there was no news of the authenticity of the August Osmanthus Cup, that I slowly faded away. The August osmanthus cup has been lost, and it is impossible to collect a complete set of Kangxi dynasty blue and white multicolored December flower god cups. You can collect and play as fun, but don’t put your mind on it..."

In the world of antiques, character is the most important thing, Chen Ran is honest and responsible, Mr. Bai has a very good impression of Chen Ran, so he doesn't want Chen Ran to be too obsessed with collecting sets of Kangxi Dynasty blue and white multicolored twelve flower god cups.

It takes a lot of thought and money to indulge in things that are impossible to succeed at all, which is undoubtedly a dead end...
