"Xiao Yang, this, this..." Old Huang was shaking with excitement as he held the Yudian-style Hai Tian Xu Ri Duan Inkstone.
Yang Jing smiled slightly and said, "Old Huang, you don't need to say anything else. This Duan inkstone originally belonged to you. I just picked it out."
It's not that Yang Jing doesn't want to pick up bargains, but Yang Jing thinks there's really no need to pick up bargains like this. If it were a while ago, Yang Jing might have quietly picked up this bargain, but Yang Jing now has more than 2 million pounds. To be honest, he really doesn't care about this bargain of 180,000 pounds. In addition, Lao Huang is a good person, and he works hard in the UK, which is so far away from home. As a fellow countryman, Yang Jing doesn't think it's necessary to pick up Lao Huang's bargain.
When you are abroad, you should help your compatriots as much as you can. This is what Yang Jing thinks.
After this Duan inkstone was cleaned, it was found to be in very good condition without any damage. The most important thing is that it is an old pit Duan inkstone with an inscription, and the person who wrote the inscription on the back is a famous inkstone collector in history. This undoubtedly makes the price of this Duan inkstone more than double.
Nowadays in China, the price of Laokeng Duan inkstone is very high. A 30cm*20cm Laokeng Duan inkstone without inscription has a market price of more than 50,000. Although this Duan inkstone is a bit small, the inscription on the back can double the value of this Duan inkstone.
Old Huang is an antique collector, so he certainly knows the current price of Duan inkstones.
Two years ago, at the Dongzheng Autumn Auction held in Yanjing, a Yudian-style Duan inkstone similar to this one was sold for 184,000 yuan, roughly equivalent to 22,000 pounds.
This Duan inkstone is about the same size as that one, and the quality is not bad either. If it were auctioned in China, it could at least fetch a price similar to that one.
When Mr. Huang bought this batch of goods six years ago, he only spent a total of more than 7,000 pounds. He originally thought he had made a mistake, but suddenly there was such a little surprise. How could Mr. Huang not be surprised?
Money is one thing, but the main thing is that with the discovery of this Duan inkstone, it is equivalent to Lao Huang picking up a bargain. Even six years ago, such a Duan inkstone would be worth more than 15,000 pounds.
"Xiao Yang, what should I say? You could have taken this Duan inkstone away directly just now." After a brief excitement, Old Huang quickly recovered.
"Old Huang, didn't you give me a brush washer? I'm not so greedy as to want your Duan inkstone again."
After a pause, Yang Jing continued, "Old Huang, how about this? If this Duan inkstone is auctioned now, it can be sold for more than 20,000 pounds, maybe even more. But you know, there are handling fees for auctioning, and the final price you will get is probably only 20,000 pounds. How about this, I also like this Duan inkstone, you can transfer 20,000 pounds to me."
Yang Jing really wanted this Duan inkstone, not for any other reason, but because after cleaning it out just now, Yang Jing felt that the heat contained in this Duan inkstone seemed to be more than that in the inner-painted pot just now.
In terms of value, the inner-painted pot is much more valuable than this Duan inkstone. It is reasonable to say that the inner-painted pot contains more precious energy. But why is the inner-painted pot obviously less precious than this Duan inkstone?
Is it because there is an inscription of Yudian on the back of this Duan inkstone? Or is it because the two are made of different materials?
In terms of fame, Feng Zhe, who made the inner-painted pot, is obviously not as famous as Yu Dian, but the problem is that this Duan inkstone was not made by Yu Dian, but by Li Mu, who is also not famous. Yu Dian just wrote an inscription on the back of this Duan inkstone, which should not increase the preciousness of this Duan inkstone so much, right?
If it's not Yu Dian's fault, then it's most likely a problem with the materials.
After all, the inner-painted pot is made of glass, but this Duan inkstone is different. It is an old Duan inkstone, and its material is also very precious...
Of course, this is just Yang Jing's guess. As to whether the difference is caused by the material, Yang Jing needs to study it slowly. In addition, Yang Jing is not short of money at the moment, so he wants to buy this Duan inkstone and take it back to study it carefully.
There is no doubt that the holy ring is a treasure, but it also gives Yang Jing a headache.
Apart from the identification, the holy ring had almost no other hints. No matter the way of absorbing energy or anything else, the holy ring was like Xu Shu entering Cao's camp, saying nothing. This made Yang Jing uncomfortable.
Therefore, Yang Jing must seize every opportunity to explore the holy ring more.
Hearing Yang Jing's words, Lao Huang said without hesitation: "Okay! But the price can't be 20,000. Fifteen thousand will be enough for you."
Seeing that Yang Jing wanted to speak, Lao Huang decisively waved his hand to interrupt Yang Jing and continued, "Don't be polite with me. Although we just met, you like me very much, and what happened just now shows that you are a good guy. You can help me pick out this Duan inkstone from this pile of garbage, which in itself has saved me from a lot of losses. I, Lao Huang, am not the kind of person who only cares about money and recognizes nothing. Since you helped me avoid losses, I can't be that mean. So if you want this Duan inkstone, take it for 15,000. I just want to break even."
Old Huang didn't ask for a high price. After all, he bought these things six years ago. Although the seven thousand pounds at that time was not as valuable as the fifteen thousand now, but considering the interest over the past six years, fifteen thousand is really about the same.
