Yes, as expected, the desire to lock the incense burner has always been full of rewards.

Zheng Heng said at this time:

"I think it's true, but I'm not completely sure. Otherwise, why don't we go find someone to take a look?"

Li Zhuo looked at the time, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening, and said:

"It's getting late now. The art appraisal and evaluation center on Beishan Road is closed. Shall we go there tomorrow?"

Zheng Heng smiled and said:

"That'll have to wait. I have an antique dealer here and I have some connections. I'll just ask the person in charge, Lao Zheng, to find an expert."

He quickly ran to the balcony, made a phone call and went out.

After saying a few words, he hung up the phone and went into the living room and said:

"Let's go and sit in my shop. The experts will be here soon."

Li Zhuo put the incense burner into his backpack and agreed casually.

Twenty minutes later, the two drove to Zheng Heng's store in Binjiang District.

Li Zhuo was revisiting his old place, and the first valuable item he got, the Spanish gold coin, was sold here.

The selling price at that time was only more than 30,000 yuan, but now, anything he picks up is easily worth more than 1 million yuan.

All we can say is that people remain unchanged, but Goldfinger will grow and carry.

So, incense burner, you must work hard, roll up your sleeves and work hard, and you must lead me! It all depends on you!

When Li Zhuo thought this, he felt that the incense burner in the sea of ​​​​consciousness suddenly moved, and it seemed to have an expression.

Although the expression can't be seen clearly, it probably looks "awkward".

……

They sat and drank tea in the store for a while, and soon they saw two people walking into the store together.

One of them is Lao Zheng, who first bought the gold coins from Li Zhuo. The other is in his fifties, short, wearing glasses, and looks like an expert on cultural relics.

Li Zhuo took the purple clay pot to the expert. The gentleman was very professional. After looking at the base payment and cover payment, he said clearly:

"This is an authentic work created by Pei Shimin. Judging from the style and characteristics, it should be from his later years."

Seeing all three people looking over, he explained:

"Please pay attention here. The knob, handle and spout of this pot are in line. After the lid is closed, I shake it and it doesn't move at all. This shows that the shape of the pot is very consistent and the maker is very skilled.

The more critical point is that its flows, handles and buttons are obviously simple, simple and natural, integrating the characteristics of the early purple sand pottery style, presenting a style that coexists with elegance and dignity.

This sense of solemnity is achieved by pressing down the waistline. It clearly has the characteristics of antique wares, and it is made very delicately, perfectly combining ancient charm with modern fashion. This is what Pei Shimin had in his later years.

style characteristics."

Zheng Heng added:

"Yes, Pei Shimin started his career by imitating the works of Chen Mingyuan, the purple sand master of the Qing Dynasty. His early and middle style was relatively imitative."

The expert nodded and said:

"Yes, he was the only artist in the Republic of China who could imitate Chen Mingyuan's works so well that they were real. At that time, he was called 'Chen Mingyuan the Second'. Of course, he also imitated other ancient artifacts, but he was famous for imitating Chen Mingyuan.

Until the Japanese army invaded China, he refused to make purple clay pottery for the Japanese and returned to his hometown of Yixing.

In his hometown, he lived in seclusion, observing small animals such as birds, dragonflies, grasshoppers, cicadas, snails, and plants such as pumpkins, lotus leaves, mulberry leaves, etc.

Integrating the interest of nature into pottery art, thus integrating ancient techniques, natural interest and an open-minded state of mind, forming a unique style."

The experts talked freely and explained clearly the changes in the creator's style and characteristics.

It is indeed professional, and Li Zhuo was convinced after hearing it.

Zheng Heng said:

"Please estimate the price."

Experts say:

"Pei Shimin's works are actually a bit pity. He is good at flower utensils and has very strong skills. He also has a relatively high status among the seven elders of Zisha. However, the price of his works is currently at a low ebb and cannot be compared with Gu Jingzhou.

I think that Pei Shimin's three-legged stove kettle, because of its innovative shape and uniqueness, should be comparable to his flower ware works. Referring to the previous auction prices of similar works, it is estimated that it can now sell for between 1.6 and 1.7 million.

Room, the price is about the same."

……

After sending the experts away, Zheng Heng chatted with Li Zhuo about the acquisition alone.

Zheng Heng said:

"I really want to buy this thing now, but if the price is 1.7 million, I may not make much money..."

Li Zhuo nodded and said with a smile:

"How about this, Brother Zheng, help me find a collector to sell the things. The money will be transferred to my card first. Then I will give you 10% of the selling price. If you sell more, I will share it with you.

That’s more money.”

Zheng Heng smiled bitterly:

"In that case, you might as well sell it to me at a discount of 100,000, and you can still make more."

Li Zhuo smiled.

This is not how the accounts are calculated here, because the cash rebate for the incense burner has to be taken into consideration.

If you sell it for 100,000 yuan more, based on the current level of the incense burner, you will get 70,000 to 800,000 yuan more when you get cash back.

In comparison, isn’t it already obvious which one is more cost-effective?

But he couldn't say this to Zheng Heng, so Li Zhuo had no choice but to pat his head and said:

"It's like this, Brother Zheng, I prefer us to do business together as a partnership instead of selling things to you, which seems more awkward..."

After hearing this, Zheng Heng slapped his thigh:

"That's right, brother, you're right, then let's start a partnership business together! I'm going to find someone to ship the goods now, but time is short, so I may not be able to sell it at a high price..."
p>

"It's okay, Brother Zheng, just do your best. I think these works of art should be in and out quickly. Maintaining a healthy cash flow is the most important thing. Don't be slow, and don't keep it in your own hands..."

I don’t know if Zheng Heng can afford to delay it. Anyway, if Li Zhuo wants to use the golden finger as soon as possible, he can’t afford it in terms of time.

"Okay, that's easy to say..." Zheng Heng quickly went to make a call.

After he finished the call, he came over and said:

"I have to go to a collector, do you want to come with me?"

Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"I won't go. I have to pick up my bird. You can bring the purple clay pot."

"Okay..."

The two drove away separately.

After Li Zhuo drove the car to the Sunshine Coast, he got out of the car and sat by the riverside to wait.

Not long after, the Audi A6 from Hankou arrived.

After parking the car, both drivers got out of the car and stood next to Li Zhuo.

Li Zhuo picked up his big bird from the back seat and felt that it looked good.

"How is it? My big bird," Li Zhuo asked the parrot, "how are you on the road? Are you feeling wronged? Are there any problems?"

The parrot immediately replied:

"It's okay. I haven't been wronged. These two masters are well-behaved. They took care of me along the way and didn't say anything bad about you. They just took a guess at how much money you might have...

One said you have a net worth of tens of millions, and the other said that it must be over 100 million..."

Two drivers:......

They feel as if this place has become a large-scale social death scene, and they have the urge to dig out the three rooms and one living room with their big toes.

The bird didn't say a word the whole way and just listened with its ears straightened. They thought it couldn't speak.

What a secretive bad guy!

Fortunately, I didn't say anything harsh on the way, otherwise it wouldn't have ended now.

Li Zhuo laughed loudly after hearing this:

"...you want to know how much money I have, right? I often drive the Bentley Flying Spur next to me, and I also have a Mercedes-Benz G in the basement. I bought a villa in Xiaoshan, and I bought it with soft furnishings.
