Chapter 13: Antiques from Thousand Years Ago



"That's right."

“Or the mountains in our country?”

"Yes, that mountain is not very far from Xiacheng."

"This... this is unscientific!"

Wang Boyu looked a little confused.

Zhang Feng didn't know what was going on, so he asked carefully:

"Master Wang, is this an antique?"

Wang Boyu was a little surprised. Picking up an antique in the wild was a blessing that he had cultivated for eight lifetimes. Could it be that Zhang Feng was so lucky that he could pick up another one? Zhang Feng didn't waste any words and directly opened his backpack completely.

But then again, if the dynasty cannot be identified, isn’t the value discounted?

"Uh, is the gap so big?"

"no problem!"

Zhang Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this thing turned out to be an antique after he was brought here. After all, in another world, this bowl was probably only produced for more than ten years.

Wang Boyu said this only because of Lin Yulan. If it were someone else, they could sell it for 10,000 yuan or not!

"Based on the appearance of this bowl, I estimate that it may be between 300 and 2,000 years old."

"How about this, my friend? Let's not waste time. Let's calculate it based on 30,000 yuan. There are eight antiques in total. I will give you 250,000 RMB. The conditions are the same as before. If the value of a single piece is assessed to be more than 100,000, I will make up the difference for you! What do you think, my friend? Of course, I am not just talking nonsense. I will sign a contract."

"Oh? There's more!"

"Of course, no problem. No matter what, I will definitely make a profit. I would like to thank you, Master Wang!"

To be honest, Zhang Feng was a little surprised that Wang Boyu could give 30,000 yuan. He thought it would be at most a few thousand yuan, or even no one would want it. After all, they also have manpower and material costs.

It might be difficult to infer something from just a bowl, but this is a complete set of bowls, plus a set of cups, with so many antiques here. Wang Boyu feels that if he cannot infer their origins, he can really retire!

Wang Boyu nodded affirmatively, but his tone was a little conflicted.

Of course, he took it out from his storage space. After all, coins are a bit heavy and it is too troublesome to carry them, so it is more appropriate to put them in the storage space.

Wang Boyu paid 250,000 for a copper coin alone, which was beyond Zhang Feng's expectation. He looked at the silver and gold coins in his storage space and wondered if he should take out some more. Forget it, I have already taken out so much. Too much is as bad as too little. I have no money and power now, so I'd better keep a low profile.

"Young man, how about this? We at Lin's Antiques bought this bowl at a price of thirty thousand RMB. I will take it away and use a professional machine to verify how old this bowl is so that we can determine the region and era it describes. If the bowl is finally evaluated to be worth thirty to five hundred thousand or eighty thousand, we will get a bargain and we will become friends. If the bowl is worth more than one hundred thousand, then we will pay it as much as it should be. For the excess, we will give you exactly one cent less. In other words, if this bowl is evaluated to be worth one hundred thousand, I will give you another seventy thousand. What do you think?"

"Oh, by the way, I have another little thing. Master Wang, can you take a look at it?"

What surprised Zhang Feng even more was that Wang Boyu’s evaluation of this bowl, the span between three hundred years and two thousand years was too large. As a professional, wasn’t it a bit unprofessional?

Both of them were very happy.

"Young man, I won't hide it from you. This is the first time I've seen this style of vessel in all my years of work. Judging from some of the patterns on it, it doesn't look like something from our country. It may be because I haven't studied foreign cultural relics in depth. I've searched through my memories, but I can't tell which country or dynasty this vessel belongs to... So I can only give a rough range. I'm ashamed, ashamed!"

Before coming here, Zhang Feng also made some quick study on antiques. He knew that the price difference between antiques is quite large. Take the country's porcelain as an example. The simplest ones are official kilns and folk kilns. Even if they are from the same year and the same level, the price may differ by more than ten times.

Maybe it’s because of time travel?

After all, the difference between these hundreds or thousands of years is still huge.

The reason why this antique is valuable is because of factors such as the era, background, and place of origin. It does not mean that it will be valuable just because it is old.

One, two...three bowls, that’s not all, there are actually four cups, and these bowls and cups are all well preserved, no two are exactly the same, each one has more or less differences.

As expected, when Zhang Feng asked this, Master Wang frowned deeply.

"Oh, young man, do you have more? If so, of course we should take them! The more we have, the more information we will have, and we can make a better assessment."

Wang Boyu recognized at a glance that this was a copper coin, and he was immediately excited.

Zhang Feng agreed immediately and exchanged a bowl that was not of much value from another world for 250,000 RMB. Only a fool would disagree.

Wang Boyu was shocked. This young man is very capable! Zhang Feng reached into his empty backpack and a bronze coin suddenly appeared in his hand.

Wang Boyu could hear the distrust in Zhang Feng's tone, and he said awkwardly:

Of course, if Zhang Feng could take out something that was thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, that would be a different story.

If the bowls and cups just now could increase his probability of guessing the origins of these antiques by 20%, then with this coin, the probability would at least increase by 90%! After all, there were patterns and words on the coin!

"This is... a copper coin!"

He has already decided to invite a few old friends to do archaeological research tomorrow. This is both a request for help and a way to show off. If he can really discover a forgotten dynasty, his name, Wang Boyu, will definitely be recorded in history books! "This copper coin is initially estimated to be worth 250,000! Including the bowl and cup, the price is 500,000!"

Regardless of whether it was for Lin Yulan's sake or not, at least the decision was made by Wang Boyu, so Zhang Feng had to be polite, but he changed the subject: "I wonder if Master Wang will accept this kind of bowl?"

So that's how it is.

"Master Wang, how much do you think my bowl is worth?"

Wang Boyu felt that this was definitely an antique and it was quite old, but since he didn't know which dynasty it belonged to, it was hard to say its price.

Even if Zhang Feng trusted Lin Yulan, who knew what the other people in the store were like? He had to be on guard against others! "Okay, deal!"

Zhang Feng suddenly spoke as if he remembered something.

Wang Boyu's eyes suddenly lit up. These bowls and cups were obviously of the same style and looked to be of similar age.

Zhang Feng was happy that he had earned 500,000 yuan for free. Earning 500,000 yuan in just a few days was something he had never dared to imagine before.

Wang Boyu was happy that he had brought a set of antiques that the company had never seen before. According to his initial speculation, this was probably from a forgotten dynasty. If the speculation was true, making money would be secondary. His reputation in the antique circle would increase a lot in the future! "My friend, this is the contract. Take a look. If there is no problem, you can sign it. The company will transfer the money directly to you later."

Zhang Feng looked at it carefully for a while. What he had agreed with Wang Boyu was almost the same. Besides, Lin Yulan was sitting next to him. He believed that no one would dare to tamper with the contract.

"By the way, regarding the origins of these antiques, my friend, please do not write that you found them in the mountains. Just write... that they were handed down from your family!"

"Uh, I understand, I understand!"
