Zhou Shangjun's works were famous for a while, and many of them were collected in the court during the Qing Dynasty. The "Tiger Button" treasured by the Qianqing Palace was exhibited in London in the fifties of the last century and attracted much attention.

"Old Qiu, this old customer is asking for a good price, right?" Wu Duo asked as he prepared to listen.

"But it's not low, the asking price is six million. ”

"Ahh I remember that even if Zhou Shangjun's Tian Huang seal was handed down, the auction price of more than six million was not much. ”

"But Zhou Shangjun's seal works have not yet been sold in the auction of Ai Yelu. You read it carefully first, and then talk about it when you have the appraisal conclusion. ”

"Good. ”

Wu Duo's final appraisal was completed.

It is indeed the genuine product of Zhou Shangjun's personal work. Moreover, to Wu Duo's surprise, he even heard a little bit of the inheritance of later generations that had nothing to do with Zhou Shangjun.

This seal was later obtained by Kangxi's grandson and Qianlong's cousin Hongyi.

Aixin Jueluo Hongyi is also a calligrapher and painter, and he has studied Dong Bangda a lot; Qianlong likes this cousin's paintings, and "The Treasure of the Stone Canal" has included more than 30 pieces.

Hongyi once got the works of Zhou Shangjun on both sides at once, both of which were dragon buttons, one side of the Tian Huang seal, and one side of the Ai Ye green seal; among them, he used the Tian Huang seal and engraved the seal of "Shu Zhai" (Hong Yi Shu Zhai).

And this side of the green seal of mugwort, he has always collected, but did not engrave it, but after his death, it was scattered to the people.

"Old Qiu, this Ai Ye Green Dragon Button Seal, I think it's no problem, it's the genuine product of Zhou Shangjun's pro-worker. ”

Qiu Buluo nodded, "I don't see the problem either." In particular, the imitation is generally not large, and often only the word 'Shang Jun' or 'Zhou Bin' is engraved on the vertical side. ”

"Yes. Wu Duo also admired the inscription very much, "On this seal, the word 'Shang Jun' of the small seal is skillfully engraved in the brocade, the design is exquisite, and the knife is exquisite, and this alone is also the master's handman." ”

Qiu Buluo frowned, "If the appraisal is true, we can both be responsible." It's just that at this price, even if it's worth the money, it's not profitable. ”

"The target of six million must be made by Mr. Hu. Wu Duoying said, "But the lower limit of this thing is easy to estimate, but the upper limit is really hard to say." Zhou Shangjun's seal, the price gap is also quite large. Two or three million are relatively common, but the highest, there used to be more than 10 million, right?"

"This mugwort leaf green is indeed very special, and the old pit was extinct in the Qing Dynasty. Qiu Buluo nodded, "Okay, then I'll hand it over to Huang Wei, explain the situation, and let her report to Mr. Hu." ”

Just after I was busy with this, then there was a customer who delivered something.

This morning, it was still relatively busy, ushering in three waves of people, and things were good and bad, true and false.

However, there is a garlic bottle with green glaze of beans from the Kangxi official kiln, and it was harvested quite smoothly. This Kangxi official kiln garlic bottle has no money, but when the door is opened, the buyer is anxious to wait for the money, and the price is not high.

After lunch, Hu Yunde came, and looked at the green dragon button seal in his office again.

"Lao Qiu, Xiao Wu, are you two agreeing?" asked Hu Yunde after reading it.

Both nodded.

"Mr. Li is an old customer, and he has bought a lot of them, and he has also sold some. Hu Yunde nodded, "Okay, I don't think it's a problem." But the price is a bit high. I'll negotiate with him separately and see if I can get a deal. ”

After saying this, Qiu Buluo smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, an old friend is from out of town, and I will leave a little early today." ”

"Lao Qiu, if your friend arrives, just leave now. Xiao Wu is here, I won't go out in the afternoon, it's fine. ”

"So I'm really leaving?"

"Hehe, you, what's this? Who hasn't had a business, besides, you've been busy all morning. ”

After Qiu Buluo left, Hu Yunde closed the door of the office and handed Wu a cigarette, "Xiao Wu, are you free lately?"

"Recently, I'm afraid it's the most free time. Wu Duo smiled.

But no, the old rich man went home, the fertilizer followed, and even Ning Shuang was busy with "big projects".

"Okay, can you come with me on a business trip next week?" Hu Yunde took a puff of his cigarette, "It's hard to say the time, but it will take at least three days from departure to return, and it is estimated that you will leave next Tuesday." You look at your situation. ”

"It's not a big problem. Uncle De, where are we going?"

"Heron Island. ”

"Heron Island?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I thought I was going to a porcelain capital, jade capital or something. ”

"Zhang Lao has an acquaintance in Ludao, and received a batch of goods from Taiwan Island, which are uneven, the general and flawed ones have been packed, and the rest are said to be picked out of the boutique, and we will pick up the goods this time. ”

Wu Duo heard it, "This is a good errand, so you can see a lot of good things!"

Hu Yunde nodded, "It's a lot." I was told that there were more than 10 pieces of gold and bronze, more than 20 pieces of jade, more than 20 pieces of porcelain, 30 to 50 pieces of calligraphy and painting, and some miscellaneous pieces. ”

"So many?" Rao is Wu Duo mentally prepared, still very surprised, "This, or has the general and flawed ones come out?"

Hu Yunde smiled, "Actually, this acquaintance of Zhang Lao is just an agent, and there are several major shareholders behind him. Moreover, they received the goods from Taiwan Island, which was a currency from the black market over there, and the price was not high. ”

"Can you also accept things from the black market?" Wu Duo couldn't help but ask again.

"The owner of the goods on Taiwan Island is a thing that is collected from the black market and sold to Ludao, but it is legal. If you don't have the ability to do this kind of business, the shippers on Taiwan Island will have the ability to launder if they can receive the goods from the black market, otherwise the customers won't buy it, right?"

Hu Yunde paused and continued to explain, "Moreover, there are no ghost goods and thieves in this black market on Taiwan Island, mainly things that flow to Taiwan through informal channels. Here, a considerable part of the Japanese came from the country. ”

The so-called ghost goods refer to the unearthed cultural relics, and the so-called thieves refer to the stolen goods obtained by illegal means such as theft, robbery, and fraud.

"Understood. Wu Duo nodded, "What the boss of Ludao did is not a bad thing, it is also a kind of reflux! It is better than flowing abroad from Taiwan Island." ”

"Hahahaha. Hu Yunde laughed, "However, today's imitations are as fierce as tigers, no matter what channel, there may be fakes." This batch of so-called high-quality products should have pits, and it is estimated that they are indispensable. ”

"Don't worry, Uncle De, I will definitely cheer up. ”

"Hmm. Let's go this time rather than overuse, and only buy real boutiques. However, when the time comes, we may not be the only buyers. So when looking at things, it's important to be steady and fast. ”

Wu Duo nodded, "By the way, Uncle De, are we just the two of us on this business trip?"

"Yes, just the two of us. Hu Yunde responded, "This time it's mainly about eyesight." They are responsible for security, and there is a professional process for consignment; ”
