Chapter 198
As soon as the words fell, Tao Hong also followed the example of the Sui Guan just now, and put the antique porcelain he had specially brought here to give to Lao Tzu on the table.
As the saying goes, what is good at the top will follow at the bottom.
The head of the Tao family, Tao Yuan, has been obsessed with antiques for the past ten years, and has been buying antiques for his own enjoyment all day long. No one in the Tao family knows this.
Ever since, in these years, whenever the Tao family held some grand banquet or other occasions, these younger generations of the Tao family would present their carefully selected porcelain to the head of the family.
It has to be said that Tao Hong still has a bit of vision. His quasi-gilt enamel is very unique, and the rendering is also very ingenious. As soon as it was taken out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
As for the white jade glazed vases in the Sui Pavilion, although they are as transparent as jade as a whole, they are far inferior to the brightly colored gilt enamel in terms of visual impact.
A bunch of ignorant guys!
Sui Guan curled his lips slightly, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at these Tao family members who were like laymen.
Although Tao Hong's enamel is unique, and must be expensive, judging from Sui Guan's experience, the other party's purchase price will at least not be less than 500 million.
Porcelain at this price is already considered a bit high-grade.
But compared with his white jade glazed bottle, it's like the sky and the earth.
Seeing that Sui Guan was silent at this time, Tao Hong thought that the other party had admitted his cowardice, so he smiled triumphantly. Then, holding the gilt enamel in both hands, he walked carefully in front of Tao Yuan. Offered:
"Grandpa, is this a gift I specially picked for you this time?"
Many people who watched this scene were envious and jealous.
"Damn it, Tao Jing took the lead last time, so is Tao Hong going to take the lead this time?"
"Fourth, hurry up! Last time you prepared a piece of jade, this time you prepared a piece of jade. It seems that you haven't learned your lesson at all!"
"Damn it, Tao Hong is simply too hateful! Just now I asked him what he had prepared, and he was still hiding it from me. Unexpectedly, such a trick came from behind his back!"
……
The people below were discussing a lot, but Tao Hong, who was standing beside Tao Yuan at this time, seemed to be a little high-spirited.
Last time at the grandfather's birthday party, Tao Jing won the old man's favor with an extremely rare Tang Sancai. Tao Hong's eyes were red at that time.
So this time, he took a lot of painstaking efforts to get the gilt enamel from an antique dealer for more than 700 million yuan, just for the current situation!
But just when Tao Hong thought he was sure of victory, the old man Tao Yuan beside him didn't even look at the porcelain in his hand, but stared intently at the white porcelain vase Sui Guandun put on the table.
"Young man, can you show me your china?"
After hearing this, Tao Hong said bitterly: "Grandpa, what a good-looking piece of his junk, dare not in terms of shape and color, he is far inferior to my gilt enamel!" "
"You know what a fart!" The old man gave him a vicious sideways glance, and said angrily, "That's a white jade glazed bottle, and now there are no more than three such bottles in all the parcel museums in China!
Do you know the last transaction price of this bottle at a private fair in Songjiang City? "
Of course, Tao Hong couldn't answer the old man's question.
After all, he is not from the antique world, where can he get such professional knowledge.
But hearing his grandfather say such a serious matter, he reckoned that the price of this white jade glazed bottle shouldn't be too low!
So, he forced himself to say, "How much?"
"Close to one billion!" Tao Hong replied.
As soon as this number came out, there was an immediate uproar in the hall, and the members of the Tao family all looked at Sui Guan with horror in their eyes.
When Tao Hong heard this number, his heart also jumped violently.
After a while, he regained his composure, and said to the old man suspiciously:
"Hmph, how could this kid produce that kind of thing? I think he probably joined forces with Tao Jing to deceive you, grandpa!"
When Sui Guan heard this, he immediately became unhappy!
What is cheating?
You must know that the seller who sold the white jade glass bottle in Songjiang City last time was himself!
Just when he wanted to ridicule the ignorant Tao Hong, Tao Jing on the side took the lead and said, "Grandpa, in your private auction just now, the person who sold the white jade glazed bottle was the Sui beside me. Mr. Guan!"
One stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and the people of the Tao family were stunned at once.
"Hmph, there's no evidence to say it. Are you saying that he is him? Then I also said that I bought the blue and white porcelain at the Sotheby's auction in Xiangjiang a few years ago!"
Tao Hong said that he was not afraid of the boiling water, and at this moment he was like a clown, trying to use words to confuse everyone not to trust Sui Guan and Tao Jing.
Tao Jing said angrily, "You are really unreasonable. Xie Bo was also at the auction at that time. If you don't believe what I said, you can ask him!"
"Tch, who doesn't know that you and old man Xie are in the same group. You are a master-student relationship. It's reasonable for him to cover for you!" Tao Hong's face was full of disdain.
Tao Yuan didn't say anything at this time, he seemed to stay out of it, even though Tao Jing and Tao Hong were arguing here, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, but directly He looked at the white jade glazed vase that Sui Guan was pressing.
Seeing this, Sui Guan smiled slightly: "Hehe, old man, he is also an antique lover, why don't you judge the authenticity of my bottle?"
Hearing this, Tao Yuan waved to Tao Hong who was beside him, motioning for him to come over. ,
Seeing this, Tao Hong hurried over, and said understandingly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will order my servants to drive these two shameless people out!"
"Shut up!" Tao Yuan yelled at his grandson Tao Hong with anger on his face, and then said in a daze, "Hurry up and push me over, hurry up!"
Today's Tao Hong can make a fool of himself in front of his family members.
Counting this time, he has already been yelled at by the old man three times, and each time is so ruthless!
Involuntarily, Tao Hong felt that he was very hurt, but even so, he did not dare to disobey the old man's wishes, so he pushed him to the place where the Sui Pavilion was reluctantly.
During this period, Tao Yuan's eyes never left the white jade glazed bottle, his eyes seemed to be looking at the most precious treasure in the world, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, the treasure would disappear from his realization.
When his wheelchair completely stopped at the table of Sui Guan and Tao Jing, Tao Yuan asked excitedly, "Young man, can you let me do it?"
"Hehe, real gold is not afraid of fire!"
Speaking of this, Sui Guan paused for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Tao Hong provocatively, and then continued: "Let the old man hold his eyes."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the white jade glass bottle on the table, and handed it to the excited Tao Yuan with both hands.
Seeing this, Tao Yuan carefully stretched out his hand to take it, and then looked at the treasure in his hand inch by inch with his eyes!
"It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"
While watching, the old man sighed with emotion from time to time.
It took a full 10 minutes before he reluctantly returned the porcelain vase to the Sui Pavilion.
"Young man, how about an offer?" Tao Yuan looked at Sui Guan with piercing eyes.
"Ah!?" Sui Guan was slightly taken aback.
Tao Jing followed up and whispered into Sui Guan's ear, and reminded: "You ass, grandpa is asking you to make a price. His old man wants to take your porcelain vase."
Tao Hong looked at Tao Yuan hesitantly at this moment: "Grandpa, you..."
Tao Yuan waved his hand, and said to Tao Hong nonchalantly, "Don't talk, old man, what am I doing, it's not your turn to intervene!"
After all, he looked up at Sui Guan at Zaidu, and said with a slight smile: "Young man, don't be shy, just boldly quote the price in your heart, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory result !"
