Li Yi spent several months in Panjiayuan and identified a lot of inventory in Tongruibao. This was the first time he had seen the Chaozhu box.

This pastel bead box is round and divided into two parts: the box body and the box lid. The pattern on the box is called the Baizi Noodle Dragon Lantern Picture. This pattern was quite popular in the middle and late Qing Dynasty and even during the Republic of China, and even appeared on many "Tongzhi Year system" money and goods.

The pink color of this chaotic bead box is bright but slightly vulgar. The inner wall is also covered with beanban green glaze, which looks very similar to the style of the Qianlong Dynasty past. But Li Yi remembered that some of the pink porcelains in the early Jiaqing period were mostly imitated by Qianlong, and it seemed that this was also true, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Since you cannot rely on these characteristics to determine the generation, it depends on the style.

He turned the box over and saw the bottom of the instrument, and was stunned. This bead box had no meaning!

It doesn’t matter if there is no brand awareness, so use the view that there is no brand awareness.

Li Yi carefully observed the body texture exposed at the bottom of the instrument, and felt that it seemed more like the products from the late Jiaqing Dynasty, but it seemed that the suspicion of the products from the Qianlong Dynasty could not be ruled out.

After reading the box several times, he shook his head, but he still couldn't learn it, so he should take the spiritual card.

As a result, the identification conclusion of the Jianling Card made him speechless for a long time. This was actually a folk kiln product from the Daoguang period!

Qianlong, Daoguang, the value gap between this porcelain cannot be calculated!

In the container, except for these two pieces that are rare in shape, the others are common blue and white porcelain and pastel porcelain. Li Yi saw it one by one and called the boss over.

"Boss, how do you sell this box of beads with dragon lantern pattern in Baizi?"

The boss had been paying attention to Li Yi's actions just now. When he heard that he not only recognized this as a bead box, but also called out the name of the pattern at once, he knew that he had met someone who knew what he knew.

"Sir, this is a court bead box from the Jiaqing period. It is very rare for porcelain to be preserved so completely. I think you are an expert, so I won't pay a false price of 78,000!"

780,000! Li Yi shook his head. The ones that were worn during the Qianlong period or the Jiaqing period may be worth this price. The ones that were not worn during the Daoguang period are almost the same as those that were more than 100,000!

Since the price gap is quite large, Li Yi is not ready to bargain, so he will ask about the Ruyi flat pot first.

"I collected this piece from a French friend. It is definitely the authentic export porcelain from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. I also directly said the price is 3.6 million!"

There are two pieces of porcelain in total. Not to mention that both pieces are broken incorrectly, the price is so high that it is impossible to bargain. Li Yi shook his head,

"I'll give you 1.2 million this one, and that one bead box is 80,000."

"Oh my goodness, sir, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not joking with you. On the contrary, according to the quotation of the bead boxes of the Daoguang period during the Jiaqing period, you can quote the imitations of the Yongle period in the Ming Dynasty. I can pay you back this price, which is considered to be very considerate of you."

The boss saw that Li Yi had just looked at it for a while and then said the two pieces of porcelain clearly. He was secretly shocked, but how could he agree with it?

"Sir, if you want to buy goods, we should bargain. If you don't want to buy them, please don't talk nonsense. I have invited experts to see these two items, and there is no problem at all! Fortunately, there are no customers at this moment, otherwise..."

Li Yi laughed and shook his head, otherwise? Otherwise, would you dare to sue me?

"Since the boss said that, he just doesn't want to sell it anymore? If you don't sell it, I'll go to another house to take a look."

Seeing that Li Yi was leaving, the boss pondered for a moment and said:

"Two items totaled 2.2 million. It's really not lower."

"It's impossible for 2.2 million, so I'll add another 50,000, a total of 1.33 million. If it's OK, it's OK, if it doesn't work, it's OK."

The two chatted for a while, but they could not reach an agreement. In the end, the boss could only shake his head and look full of regret. Li Yi smiled bitterly and spread his hands and turned around and left the store.

After seeing so many ancient porcelains, he ended up passing by two rare items because of the price. Seeing that there were still people coming and going on the street, Li Yi had no idea of ​​walking around again. While thinking about it, he walked towards the intersection.

Judging from the boss's performance, he may not necessarily want to kill him. However, antiques are more troublesome, so let's not talk about the authenticity, but it's just that this cannot accurately define the value according to certain rules, which is very troublesome.

The same thing will have a certain difference in the valuation of different experts. Some rare items may even be several times different! This kind of valuation is pretty good in the store, and you can basically get it done with money, but some things may not be the case. Because of this, many elderly people in the industry have had the experience of being humble and compromise for a beloved item.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone shouting softly behind him, as if he was calling him. When he turned around, he saw two young girls chasing him.

Li Yi frowned. He didn't know these two girls, but I remember that when he was in the store just now, they seemed to be standing behind him when he was bargaining with the boss. Now they are actually calling him far away. Is the boss changing his mind? They are not customers?

"Sir, my friend has a store and something similar to this one, but it's much cheaper. I wonder if he's interested?"

So that's the case! Li Yi shook his head without thinking, just kidding, he was unfamiliar with the place and did not dare to follow him if he was interested! What's more, this method is a trick that has been played in Panjiayuan. Those who dare to be interested are either policemen or fools who are obsessed with money!

Seeing Li Yi's attitude, the two girls were not discouraged. One continued to encourage Li Yi, and the other took out a few photos from his bag.

"This is a photo of our store. Sir, we are definitely doing serious business, and I just want to invite you to see..."

Li Yi did not reach out to pick it up, but just a quick glance, he saw that there was a bead box in the photo, but it was much flatter than the one just now, and it was blue and white.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at it again, and suddenly he found something that seemed familiar, but the photo was pressed down and only a small part was seen.

After hesitating, he took the photos and staggered them one by one. Sure enough, he saw the double bottle of enamel-colored lotus-patterned lotus pattern, but this bottle has a cap!

He looked carefully and found that the color matching of the double bottles in the photo was similar to that of his, but the pattern was not much the same. The most important thing was that he could not define the size through the photo. He shook his head and returned the photo to the girl.

"So, do you have a business card? I really have something to do. If I have time, I will go to the store to check it out."

The girl reluctantly put away the photo and handed Li Yi a business card. Li Yi looked at the address and shook his head. Judging from the house number, the store seemed to be open in a residential area. In this way, even if it was really nothing, who would dare to go with you in the street like you like?

Leaving the Holihuo Road, it was still early, Li Yi was going to go to Moro Street to check out, maybe there would be fewer people there.

Just as I turned a small alley, the phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw that it was my mother.

"How are you doing in Hong Kong? Remember to go to the aquarium market there when you are fine and help me check the price. The fish in our family grows too fast, and I guess it can be sold as a fish in autumn."

After hanging up the phone, my mother sent Li Yi a few photos. In the photo, a red dragon was swimming against the edge of the tank, while a tape ruler was posted on the fish tank. The energy was exactly the size of the red dragon. When Li Yi saw that it was almost 30 cm!

After calculating the time, it was really 3 cm long a month, which was too fast!

He took out his cell phone and checked the Internet. He found that the largest aquarium market was near the Prince of Mongkok Metro Station, not far from the famous shopping area Tongcai Street. He then checked the route and called a taxi to rush there.

When I arrived, I realized that this aquarium market was not big. It was a short street. If you walked directly, you would probably walk from one end to the other in ten minutes. However, there were indeed aquarium shops on both sides of the street. Standing at the intersection, you could see bags of aquarium hanging outside the store door from afar.

“Red-headed and green pine tail 15 yuan, pepper grass 25 yuan, twisted leaf crown yuan…”

Li Yi started shopping at the first store. He first looked at the aquatic plants outside the store and found that except for some varieties, the prices of other varieties were similar to those of Hanwu.

Then, he walked into the store and found the fish tank with famous goldfish. Looking at the chubby goldfish swimming leisurely, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and remembered a serious problem.

The problem that Li Yi suddenly remembered was the size of the goldfish. Compared with the goldfish he raised in his home, these goldfish undoubtedly had to gain a lot of weight, and the swimming speed was much slower.

Although the swallows are thin and fat, each has their own preferences, the current goldfish market is undoubtedly beautiful. In the past, my mother raised few fish, and it may be very easy to sell out of freshness. But now the number has increased tenfold. Will people still accept goldfish of their size?

After staring at the goldfish in the tank for a while, Li Yi suddenly realized that the slow swimming speed of the goldfish, coupled with its slightly bloated body, seemed to give him a graceful feeling. Could it be that the goldfish really have to be fatter?

Thinking of this, he called his mother directly and told him about the problem he was worried about. He heard his mother laughing on the phone.

"Although everyone's aesthetics are different, roughly speaking, people's perceptions of a truly beautiful thing tend to be consistent. In other words, although the goldfish we raise will have some differences in size and other goldfish of the same species, in fact, this difference is developing in a direction that is more in line with the aesthetics of most people... By the way, I forgot to say just now, if you have time, please help me understand the strength of the merchants there. I am going to find an agent in Hong Kong..."

Li Yi was completely stunned by hearing this. Is this still the mother he usually likes to talk about? This series of professional terms and confident tone is clearly a strong woman in the workplace! (To be continued.)
