Chapter 906: Lesson 1
"Then the second point is that if you want to find a bargain, you must have a lot of knowledge and knowledge."
Qi Xiangyang was a little stunned. Isn’t this the basis for antique identification?
Looking at Qi Xiangyang's appearance, Zhang Kun smiled: "Do you remember the Han Dynasty yellow-glazed pottery water scheme? The two eyes on it look like a pen holder, but they are not exactly the same, making it look like a four-way person."
"If you have some strength in your eyes, you can see the charm of this thing, but why no one buys it? Because they don't know it, they have doubts, and are afraid that they will suffer losses and be deceived if they buy it, so this Han Dynasty pottery water scheme was my turn."
"This type of instrument is indeed very rare. Even I have only seen it once in the Hanyang Mausoleum Museum, and I have never seen it again."
"Others dare not buy it because they don't know it. Even if they think it is an antique, they don't dare to start. But I dare to buy it because I know it. This is because I have knowledge and knowledge."
"So, the second point of finding a bargain is to accumulate knowledge and reserve it in place."
"Third, in the antique industry, it is not only genuine products that can be used to pick up bargains, but also imitations. For example, the hammer bottle. Some excellent imitations, especially old imitations, are likely to pick up bargains as long as they have collection value."
"Fourth, you must learn to restore the copy and see the essence through appearance. For example, the Jun porcelain bowl looks 'new' because it was improperly repaired. Then you have to find out its true identity from the doubts, so as to achieve the goal of finding a bargain."
"The Han Dynasty dragon-headed jade is similar, because the black mud looks like jade-boiled wax and the skin is made of old. At this point, even Boss Hou almost lost sight of it. Therefore, if you find any possible antique, you must carefully restore it to find out his true identity."
"Fifth, use information asymmetry to find gaps."
"For example, the last fish basket, the seller knew that this was a genuine product, and 230,000 yuan was basically the market price. Why did I buy it?"
"Because I know that Tang Xinhua has the same fish basket, and I know he needs one more, so I bought it for 230,000 yuan and sold it for 500,000 yuan."
"And the seller of the Fish Locker Lord didn't know, so I picked him up."
Zhang Kun stared at Qi Xiangyang with his eyes tightly: "This is the first lesson I taught you, pick up the bargain."
"What is picking up a bargain? To put it bluntly, people with knowledge and vision can pick up a leak from people without knowledge and vision."
"So eyesight is the most important thing in picking up antiques, and how can you have eyesight? Look more, ask more, and run more."
"Look more, look at the real thing, look at the authentic products, and improve your identification level."
"Ask more questions, ask more experts and seniors in the industry to enrich their professional knowledge and improve their eyesight."
"Travel more, go to museums, auctions, and even archaeological sites across the country. First, increase your chances of getting involved in authentic antiques, and second, improve your experiences. For example, the pottery water meter, if I hadn't seen it once in the Hanyang Mausoleum Museum, how could I recognize it?"
"In addition to these three, we also need to make friends, attend more in-house gatherings, and obtain various information in the industry. For example, why did I know that Tang Xinhua also has a piece of Jun red glaze goldfish basket? It was just an accidental opportunity to hear about it at a in-house gathering."
"If it weren't for that party, even if I met Yuluan Zun today, I wouldn't have bought it, and I wouldn't have known who I should sell it to after I bought it."
"So, this is the first lesson I taught you, how to pick up a bargain, have you remembered?"
Qi Xiangyang tried hard to remember every sentence Zhang Kun said, and then nodded desperately. He planned to write down these words with a notebook and read them several times a day. These are the tricks to pick up bargains.
However, after nodding, Qi Xiangyang was stunned and then looked at Zhang Kun: "By the way, there is also the Hongwu big money, didn't you say that you said that every item you chose has a reason to choose it?"
Hearing Qi Xiangyang's words, Zhang Kun was stunned at first, then coughed dryly, and his face slowly said: "This is the last thing I want to tell you. Sometimes I need a little intuition to find vacancy."
"Intuition?" Qi Xiangyang was stunned. Intuition? Can you rely on intuition to find a bargain?
If you rely on intuition, what is the difference between buying a lottery?
What's more, people only need two yuan to buy lottery tickets, but what antique market do you see is less than three digits? Not to mention those that are often tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or even millions? Just rely on intuition to buy them? That's because you think it's too much money, it's so uncomfortable.
Looking at Qi Xiangyang's stunned look, Zhang Kun coughed suddenly, and then said seriously: "Don't think I'm joking. Antiques are all settled by history. There is the smell of time inside. It is a kind of rhyme, a kind of rhyme that cannot be seen or touched, but it is real."
"Some real top appraisal masters can feel this charm on antiques. In front of those top appraisal masters, even if they close their eyes, or even cover the objects with cloth, just by touching them through the cloth, those masters can tell you whether the things under the cloth are old objects."
"And I felt the breath of time in Hongwu Daqian through that kind of rhyme, so I concluded that this was an antique, and it was far from comparable to the era of Qianlong Tongbao."
"A copper coin, as long as there is time, it will have its value, so if you buy it for 100 yuan, you will definitely not lose money."
After listening to Zhang Kun’s explanation, Qi Xiangyang’s eyes suddenly shone: “In other words, Mr. Zhang, have you already entered the ranks of top appraisal masters?”
Zhang Kun's eyes trembled, then nodded with a dry smile, and then greeted with a loud voice: "Okay, the purpose of coming out today is completed successfully. Let's go home, I have to discuss with your grandfather about becoming a disciple."
After saying that, Zhang Kun didn't wait for Qi Xiangyang to answer, and then walked towards the 20th courtyard community.
If this continues, it may be a mistake.
Sure enough, every lie you have to cover it up with more lies.
The precipitation of time? Rhyme?
Hell, is that something ordinary people can see? It is Yao Zhiping's special eyes that have such abilities.
Top appraisal master? Is it an antique through cloth?
Bastard, you can find the most powerful antique business in the current era and see if he dares to say this.
The reason I bought that copper coin was just because Yao Zhiping estimated that the copper coin should be something he found that he had a bargain value and could buy at the lowest price.
Yao Zhiping wanted to create the miracle of the most money with the least money, that's all.
