Chapter 101: The Ins and Outs

Speaking of this, Chen Yongjun was stunned.

"Lotus Market?" Luo Yuze answered, "It turns out that there was an antique market back then, but now it's a bar street." ”

Later, in 2006, this cowpea red glazed laiphane appeared at the Gall New York Spring Auction and fetched a high price of more than 2 million. Chen Yongjun didn't answer Luo Yuze's words, "Another ten years later, in 2016, it was still this cowpea red glazed laiphane zun, and it was listed on Subis's Hong Kong Island autumn auction, and finally including the commission, the total amount won was 4.6 million." ”

Hu Yunde smiled, "Mr. Chen, you remember it very clearly." ”

"Because most of the cowpea red glazed Laifenzun on the market are not things from the Kangxi Dynasty, and even many small auctions have repeatedly appeared at a hammer price of 180,000 yuan. Chen Yongjun also smiled, "Cowpea red glaze only appeared in the late Kangxi period, and it was used exclusively for the palace, so there were not many pieces." It is said that Emperor Kangxi saw that this red glaze was both cowpea red and radish red, so he named and designated the type of Laihuazun. ”

Hu Yunde nodded, "Kangxi's naming of Lai Yuzun's instrument type, although it is a rumor in wild history, it is not unreasonable. ”

"This one, won't it be that one?" Chen Yongjun looked at Hu Yunde, "Four million six million, five million six hundred thousand, only one million is earned, which is not much." ”

This is indeed Zhang Lao's photograph on Hong Kong Island in 2016, but he didn't show up, he entrusted a friend to come forward. Hu Yunde nodded.

"I'm more interested in who picked up the leaks back then? Yanjing antique circle, I'm still not as familiar as Mr. Hu!" Chen Yongjun continued.

At this time, Wu Duo and Luo Yuze each lit a cigarette and listened.

Listening to some anecdotes from the antique circle is also a kind of learning. And it's in this atmosphere that they might talk a little more.

"I just worked in the shop of Liulichang when I was young, if it wasn't for Zhang Lao's support, I wouldn't have been able to get in touch with any people, and then I followed Zhang Lao back to Qizhou!" Hu Yunde waved his hand, "But I know something about the lotus market, and it's not a secret." It's just that after a long time, fewer people know. ”

"The exchange meeting, this is also an exchange, the two seniors opened a small stove, and the two of us followed to solve the hunger. Luo Yuze said with a smile.

"In the 80s, there was a Baiqiao antique market in Yanjing, and at the end of the 80s, the Baiqiao street was renovated, and the antique market was moved to the lotus market near Houhai. Hu Yunde also lit a cigarette, as if telling a story, into a rhythm:

"The original lotus market is not as lively as the Baiqiao market, but after the Baiqiao market moved in, it became popular all of a sudden, and it was even crowded with people when it was fair. And many surrounding antique vendors have also come to set up stalls with their things. ”

"I didn't see this cowpea red glaze Laihua Zun missing, and I heard about it later. But I didn't expect that I would be able to hold it in my hand in the end. ”

"It was the first episode after the year, and there was a little snowflake after the morning, so it was quite early. There is a stall of the old man in Ji Province, and in the last decent things, there is only a Kangxi blue and white pen holder and a Laihuazun left. There was a shopkeeper who opened a shop in Liulichang to grab the goods and took a fancy to the big pen holder. ”

"That's what I heard from this shopkeeper later. ”

"The stall owner said that the last two good things are good, and you can shoot them with one shot for two thousand. This shopkeeper must have to bargain, to put it mildly, the stall owner can reach a minimum of 800, and he will not let him live or die. But as for this shopkeeper, he only wanted to come up with 600 at most, and said that 600 would be enough to give him a pen holder, not Laihuazun. This Laizun couldn't reach Lao Kang, that is, well-off, and there was no bird meaning. ”

Lao Kang is the Kangxi Dynasty, and Xiaokang is Guangxu imitation Kangxi. At that time, the porcelain of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty could be called a price, but the things of the late Qing Dynasty were not good, and few people could look at it and often take the lead. For example, buy a bottle of Kangxi, and give you a plate and bowl of Guangxu.

"In the end, the old man said while cleaning up the stall, at most let another twenty yuan, seven hundred and eight for the two of you, no ink, no work and leave. ”

"The shopkeeper who grabbed the goods was still a little hesitant, but unexpectedly, a young man who watched for a while next to him suddenly spoke, saying that it is better to do this, I will give one hundred and eight, take away this Laihuazun, you will give six hundred, take away this blue and white pen holder, this is not a matter of seven hundred and eight!"

The sudden appearance of such a young man made the deal very happy, and the two of them counted the money separately, and after the deal, they dispersed. ”

Hu Yunde said this, paused, and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

"It sounds like you don't know who this young man is?" Luo Yuze interjected, "However, you were also a young man at the time, haha." ”

"Originally, I didn't know, but then I heard Zhang Lao mention it again. Hu Yunde interface, "Back then, this shopkeeper not only told me, but also told many people in Liulichang that he said that a Guangxu imitation of Kangxi's Laihuazun, the coloring is not very correct, one hundred and eight, it is better to buy a Daoguang plate!"

At that time, there was a very popular song "True Hero", and the shopkeeper also used the lyrics to make fun of the young man: How can you see a rainbow if you don't experience wind and rain? It is not a bad thing to say that young people spend more money unjustly, otherwise they will not have a long memory. ”

However, within a few days, this cowpea red glaze Laihua Zun was placed on the shelves of the famous shop Pangutang. The shopkeeper of the Pangu Hall has excellent eyesight, I heard that he spent thousands of dollars to collect, saying that this is a standard official kiln court utensils, maybe it was placed in the south study of the Qianqing Palace back then!"

"Of course, the shopkeeper of the Pangu Hall said this just to add to this gimmick of Lailinzun. And he is very good at business, and he doesn't want to sell it soon, so he holds on to the high price and doesn't sell it within a year. ”

"Later, I heard that it was sold for a high price, but I don't know who it was sold to. But in 2006, it appeared in the Gall New York Spring Auction. ”

Luo Yuze patiently heard this, and when he saw the road, he couldn't help it anymore, "Mr. Hu, you can really calm down, and you have finished this paragraph, and you haven't said who that young man is!"

"You don't know who it is. Hu Yunde smiled indifferently, "This person is a legend of the year, and he has the same surname as Xiao Wu." ”

"Wu Di?" Chen Yongjun immediately said, "No wonder! However, I have only heard of this person slightly. In the top circles of the year, ordinary people couldn't get in, and they couldn't understand much information. ”

When Wu Duo heard Wu Di, his heart couldn't help but fluctuate, but on the surface, he suppressed his voice.

Luo Yuze shouted, "Uncle Chen, this is not the old society, what circle can be like the gangs, and there is not much news?"

"What do you know?! Go back and ask your father, how many years has he wanted to be a member of the Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce, has he got his wish?
