Chapter 734 Where Are You From? !
"You, what did you say?
Ma Jing was so angry that she was shaking all over: "You are the first person who dares to talk to my dad in this tone! What capital do you have to dare to despise a billionaire like my dad?"
Azi also poked Jiang Chen and said in a low voice: "Hey! Little errand boy! I think you've gone too far this time. Mr. Ma is not an ordinary person. How dare you look down on him like this?"
Even Ah Zi, who has a fearless personality, feels that Jiang Chen is too careless to belittle Ma Guowei.
Jiang Chen shrugged.
main idea?
No?
This is the tone I normally use when talking to people of his level.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "Although you spend a lot of money and collect more than 3 billion worth of things in this house, they can't be called first-class treasures. You are a typical person who has a lot of money and is fooled by others!"
Ma Guoweirao was well-educated, but he was so angry at Jiang Chen's behavior!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"Then tell me, why am I stupid because I have so much money?"
Ma Guowei said in a deep voice: "If you can't explain why today, you can't even think about leaving."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Take this bottle as an example."
He pointed at the Qing Dynasty bottle with a price tag of 160 million and said calmly: "You said this is the Qianlong Nine-turn Nine-Dragon bottle?"
"yes."
Ma Guowei sneered: "You're not going to say that what I bought is a fake, are you? There is a certificate from Sotheby's auction in the cabinet, proving that this bottle is indeed from the royal kiln in the palace of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in the 43rd year of his reign. Burnt tribute! You wouldn’t say that your vision is more accurate than that of experts, right?”
"I didn't say that my vision is more accurate than that of experts. But..."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "You only know one but not the other."
"What?"
Ma Guowei lost his composure and said in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to say?
Jiang Chen said lightly: "Indeed, in the 43rd year of Qianlong's reign, Emperor Qianlong did order someone to bake a pair of Qianlong Nine-Dragon Nine-Turn Bottles of this size from the imperial kiln in Jingdezhen! The reason why he was called this name was because Emperor Qianlong liked it very much. This kind of bottle, I especially like to have nine dragon patterns on it. In ancient times, nine was the number of the supreme! The most obvious feature of this bottle is that there are nine dragons coiled around it!"
"The most amazing thing is that each of these nine dragons has a different color! They are divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and white! This is an extremely high test for the craftsman's craftsmanship!"
Jiang Chen looked up to the sky and said lightly: "After later generations' research, it is necessary to fire 9 times to make such beautiful porcelain with 9 colors! Only by accurately controlling the furnace temperature each time can different colors be produced."
"So, this kind of Qianlong bottle is called the Nine Dragons Nine Turns Treasure Vase!"
Jiang Chen pointed at the bottle in the glass cabinet that was as tall as a person.
"Haha, you recited it well."
Ma Guowei gently applauded Jiang Chen and sneered: "However, I still don't understand what you mean. What's the point of having such a good grasp of the origin of this thing? Isn't this bottle of mine the Nine Dragons and Nine Revolutions?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Although this thing of yours is also a Nine Dragons and has nine colors, take a closer look!"
Jiang Chen pointed at the claw of one of the dragons: "Look here!"
Ma Guowei's expression changed, and he leaned over and stared at the big bottle, which was as tall as a person, and the first claw of the black dragon. He looked at it for a long time: "What's the problem?"
Jiang Chen sighed: "Didn't you notice that there is something wrong with the color of this first dragon claw? Originally, this dragon should be a completely black dragon, symbolizing the majesty and solemnity of the imperial power. But in its On the second dragon finger, there is a flaw the size of a thumb! It was burned yellow! Did you notice it?"
After Jiang Chen's reminder, Ma Guowei and Ma Jing leaned against the glass cover and looked closely at it for a long time, and finally saw the yellow patch that was not too small.
"so what?"
Ma Jing said unconvinced: "Such a big bottle is as tall as a person and more than 2 meters tall. What does such a small flaw mean? Why do you think this is not a real Qianlong bottle?"
"I didn't say it wasn't a bottle from the Qianlong period."
Jiang Chen smiled: "I'm just saying that it's not one of the pairs of bottles that were presented as tribute to Ouchi and invited to be viewed by Emperor Qianlong! Because the royal rules of the Qing Dynasty were strict, which is not what modern people can think of today! It was originally a whole body The dark black dragon was fired with such a large yellow spot, which was enough to make the head of the Weaving Bureau in charge of the firing! I don't believe that the officials of the Qing Dynasty dared to bring such a large bottle with obvious flaws in the dragon's claws into the palace. Dedicated to Qianlong! Anyone who is even slightly proficient in antiques can tell that this is not a tribute!"
"What?"
Ma Guowei was shocked.
He never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man would actually speak so eloquently and speak so many profound truths!
What's more, I didn't expect that the imperial vase of Emperor Qianlong bought at Sotheby's auction for 160 million yuan was actually fake?
"How is this possible? There are three most authoritative antique experts on this bottle, who have jointly signed the guarantee. If what I buy is fake, they will compensate!"
Ma Guowei said in shock and anger.
Jiang Chen said calmly: "Have you noticed? The guarantee letter says that during the Qianlong period, the imperial vase was presented to the emperor! It did not say that this was the imperial vase collected by Emperor Qianlong. The difference is huge. . They only guarantee that this bottle is from the Qianlong period, and they also guarantee that it was fired in an official kiln and used as a tribute to Ouchi. But it is not certain whether it was left by Emperor Qianlong.
Whether he successfully entered the palace or not is uncertain. This warranty has many loopholes! "
"What?"
Ma Guowei's eyes were as wide as bells! Big eyes and small eyes!
Completely confused.
160 million yuan to buy a bottle that may not be used by Emperor Qianlong?
That's really like what Jiang Chen said, "Money makes people stupid."
"This is impossible, right?"
Ma Jing became anxious: "Since it was fired in the imperial kiln, how could it be possible that no tribute was paid to the emperor?"
Jiang Chen said impatiently: "Didn't I say it? The imperial kiln's firing is true, but the technical requirements for the Nine Dragon Nine Rotary Bottle are too high, and the success rate of firing is also very low. It often takes dozens or hundreds of them to be fired. Only one perfect one can be offered as tribute. As for this, I guess it is one of the defective products, discarded. It is not qualified to be offered as tribute, but maybe the official in charge of the firing felt it was a pity because it was of high value, so he risked being The risk of decapitation was kept secretly. A few hundred years later, it was bought by your family for 160 million!"
"You, you are all guessing!"
Ma Jing snorted angrily: "What evidence do you have to prove for sure that this is not the bottle used by Emperor Qianlong?"
Jiang Chen sighed and didn't waste any time. He took out his phone and pulled out a photo and handed it to Ma Guowei!
"See for yourself."
Ma Guowei looked carefully at Jiang Chen's mobile phone~~
I discovered that it was a pair of photos of a pair of Qianlong nine-turn nine-dragon vases!
It's a pair!
The nine-turn nine-dragon vase in the photo is exactly the same as my own!
The only difference is that the claws of the black dragon that are turning over the river are completely black!
perfect!
No flaws whatsoever!
Just this point makes Jiang Chen's set of nine-turn nine-dragon vases look extraordinarily precious and full of dragon energy, making them even more noble and extraordinarily brilliant than his own!
After all, Ma Guowei has been playing with antiques for 30 years. After just a brief look, he has already determined a very unreliable fact - Jiang Chen is probably true.
"You, where did you take this photo?"
Ma Jing looked in disbelief.
