Following Huo Chengdong came to the basement, Shi Lei discovered that Huo Chengdong's house seemed to be small, but the internal space was actually terrifying.
The house is built on a gentle hillside, covering an area of three or four hundred square meters. The two-story structure seems to have a maximum of seven or eight hundred square meters of interior space.
However, Huo Chengdong has hollowed out all the underground of the house, and it has reached a full four floors, a depth of more than ten meters, and almost completely used the depth of the entire slope.
Huo Chengdong looked at the surprise of Shi Lei's expression and smiled and explained: "I bought this whole hillside, changed my land use after several times, and finally built my ideal house. Of course, I am not a mole, but my collections need a more stable environment for collection, whether it is dry humidity or temperature, need to remain stable. There is nothing more stable than the underground space. Even those high-tech means, through constant temperature and humidity and constant oxygen, there are always moments such as unexpected power outages. Dig four layers, more than ten meters, the temperature here, naturally around 20 degrees, and the humidity is basically constant. ”
Shi Lei nodded with a sigh of relief and said, "Others are building houses. You are digging up the bomb shelter."
On the fourth floor of the underground, Huo Chengdong opened a heavy iron gate and made a gesture of asking, saying, "Mr.Shi, please come in."
After entering the door, Huo Chengdong carefully turned back and closed the door and locked it, which said to Shi Lei: "Here is my collection."
Shi Lei looked at it, but it was similar to the situation in the private museum of Old Bai. All the calligraphy and paintings were even inlaid in a flat glass box, while other types of antiques were covered by glass containers. Shrouded.
"If you are interested in what, you can tell me, I will take it out for you. Collection is a very difficult thing. Just these auxiliary equipment, investment is a huge expense. ”Huo Chengdong said as he put on a pair of suede gloves and handed Shi Lei a pair.
Shi Lei put the gloves in his hands, but he didn't worry about wearing them. He didn't have much interest in these things. His purpose was nothing more than the porcelain bottle of the Ming Dynasty.
But even if there is no interest, Shi Lei is also amazed at the collection here, because this is completely private collection, Huo Chengdong does not have any thoughts for people to look at, so the objects are placed more closely, unlike the old Bai there is so patchy.
Shi Lei looked around and felt a lot, but still had no interest.
Huo Chengdong looked at Shi Lei's performance and shook his head slightly. It seemed that Shi Lei didn't know enough about antiques and lacked the ability to really appreciate them.
This is actually why Huo Chengdong is clearly ready to transfer the porcelain bottle, but it is necessary for Shi Lei to find out one of the three bottles that he really can sell to him. Huo Chengdong wants to see, Shi Lei is so rashly running to Sydney to find him, just for such a porcelain bottle, how much he knows about such things.
To a certain extent, this is very good to distinguish the true and false of Shi Lei's words.
In Huo Chengdong's view, only if you really like it all, will you really have the heart of the Grand Duke, otherwise, the value of millions of things, even if you have more money, if you do not involve the interests, who can easily Send it out?
Contacting Old Bai, Huo Chengdong certainly won't be straightforward to tell him about Shi Lei. He just pretends to listen to a friend and says that Old Bai has something in his Ming Dynasty. He said he would like to see and see. . Old Bai has already had an understanding of Huo Chengdong's collection before answering Huo Chengdong's phone. It is a fan of antiques and calligraphy and painting, and it is still easy to communicate. Old Bai told Huo Chengdong that he did not know the porcelain of the Wanli years and would probably disappoint him.
With this, Huo Chengdong is actually enough to believe Shi Lei's words. However, at the same time he did not believe Shi Lei's words. What he did not believe was that Shi Lei did not tell the truth, but Shi Lei said it was hidden.
In the view of Huo Chengdong, Shi Lei is most likely to conceal his true purpose, that is, the part that can be linked to the interests.
The most basic element of a collector is that he must have money, otherwise he will not be able to collect things that are truly valuable. In today's society, a person who has enough free money to play with his collection must be a strong man. Shi Lei is not bad at talking about it, but Huo Chengdong can see at a glance that Shi Lei is at best a level of well-being. And such people, paying millions or even tens of millions of dollars, in order to fill a gap in the collection of old people, this is always unbelievable.
Therefore, Huo Chengdong always feels that Shi Lei is a picture. He thinks that Shi Lei can deliver porcelain of such value, and he must get more rich returns from Old Bai. Unless he is a fan of antiques and calligraphy.
So there was such a comparison, but Shi Lei obviously disappointed him. From Shi Lei's performance, I was afraid that Shi Lei had never touched these things.
Huo Chengdong sighed and said, "Young man, in fact, if you said to me from the beginning, I may not be able to fulfill you." After all, things are dead and people are alive. Although you have the purpose of the Lower Riba, it does not affect the result of getting a spring snow. But you are hiding from me, and I can only say sorry. ”
Seeing Shi Lei is also of little interest. Huo Chengdong said: "Mr. Shi seems to have little interest in these, then, then you can only see your eyesight. Three porcelain bottles, you can find out the truth, we will continue to talk. If you can't find it, then I am sorry. ”
Shi Lei nodded with a smile, then saw Huo Chengdong reopening a cabinet and holding one of the boxes in his hands. Presumably, there was one of the three porcelain bottles.
Taking advantage of Huo Chengdong's time to take the porcelain bottle, Shi Lei also opened the phone, opened the Identification Card, and chose to use its function.
With a faint -1 on the Identification Card page on the phone screen, Shi Lei knows he has the ability to identify all the antiques.
He looked up, and there was a glimmer of glory on the calligraphy and paintings in the glass boxes and utensils. The brilliance of the colors are different, and the depths are also different. Although it is only a faint radiance, Shi Lei's mind can immediately correspond to the corresponding era.
Cyan represents Xia Shang, green represents two weeks, and red represents the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. The glory of lightness represents the level of its artistic value or collection value.
Almost just a sweep of the eye, Shi Lei found that among the items collected by Huo Chengdong, there are also some counterfeit fakes.
When the first porcelain bottle was placed on a wooden table covered with a thin layer of flannel, Shi Lei looked at it with a glance at the appearance of this porcelain bottle. This is a counterfeit product.
The second porcelain bottle was quickly put on the table by Huo Chengdong. Shi Lei glanced at it. The brilliance was a faint white color. The feedback of this color in Shi Lei’s brain was during the Republic of China, and the light luster also meant The value of this porcelain bottle is very limited.
Huo Chengdong smiled and said: "Mr.Shi looked at it first. The third porcelain bottle was taller. I had to take a ladder."
