340. The origin of the bowl
At eight o'clock in the evening, the dinner officially began.
The surrounding environment has changed into a large dining room with golden yellow as the main color, with more than 20 tables neatly arranged, and a small stage on one side.
The guests were taking their seats, and although there were no nameplates or seats, everyone had a scale in their hearts, at least they could weigh their own weight.
At a glance, the hall is distinct, and the first row of four dining tables under the stage are gathered by the wave of people at the top of the wealth pyramid of the port city.
The back table was contracted by the younger juniors.
Among them is Luo Yingshun, who has just suffered a "nightmare".
Facing the strange eyes that probed from time to time around him, he felt that he had died socially, and he would carry this shame for the rest of his life and become a laughing stock in the circle.
In fact, he didn't want to sit down at all, he just wanted to escape, but his father didn't allow it, and he said that "a big husband must be able to bend and stretch"......
Stretch out your sister!
Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, you try to put this thing on you?
"Brother Luo, if you want to open up, who hasn't encountered a few ruthless people in your life. ”
Lao Tzu doesn't need comfort!
I just want to be quiet!
He raised his head slightly, staring at the table in the front row, the ruthless man who was standing with Old Man Chen, and politely greeting Li Chaoren and others, his eyes were instantly red, spraying flames of nothingness......
It's a pity, he knows that no matter how angry he is, it's useless, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to fight that guy.
The other sat down and was at table "2......
"Still thinking about what happened just now?" asked Guo Yongkun sideways.
"yes, it doesn't have to be. ”
Xia Ying felt that she had mixed feelings in her heart, and it was very inappropriate for a man to kneel down for her in public, no matter what the identity of the other party was.
"We didn't force him to do anything, his father called it, so don't think too much about it. ”
That's right...... But Xia Ying still can't clean up her mood for a while.
Guo Yongkun didn't say anything more, thinking about it made her self-regulate, and began to chat with a group of uncles at the same table.
Old Man Chen wanted to pull him to sit at the No. 1 table, but fortunately he didn't go, otherwise he wouldn't even have a topic. The youngest person at that table may be Li Chaoren, who is exactly sixty years old this year.
After what happened just now, although these uncles at the same table still couldn't figure out his identity, they didn't dare to slack off, their words were very measured, and they didn't treat him as an ordinary junior at all.
"Ladies and gentlemen......"
A voice sounded on the stage, a well-dressed male host appeared, and the scene quickly fell silent.
There is a process for any event, and after the Director Leung from the Governor's Office took the stage to give a speech and explain the purpose of the charity dinner, it was time for the show to perform and enjoy the food.
Shao Daheng has several artists under him, and Guo Yongkun is still quite greedy, such as Zhu Yin, Maggie Cheung, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, Qiu Shuzhen......
All of them are big beauties who have captivated the country and the city, and they all have the characteristics of being red for a lifetime.
But he also knew that the corners of these girls were not easy to pry. If you want to be more practical, you should discuss it with Shao Daheng and cooperate more in the future.
Cooperation is also necessary.
Without Sister Zhu's "Journey to the West", you will lose your charm.
After a few shows, the meal was almost the same, and the highlight of tonight began - the charity auction.
All proceeds from the auction, excluding expenses, will be donated to the mainland to give back to the mainland during the Hong Kong stock market crash last year.
This is also the reason why even Old Man Chen came over specially to come.
The first lot, the Qing Dynasty white jade Guanyin statue.
After the auctioneer used eloquence to render it in detail, he began to bid, "The starting price is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is not less than 10,000 yuan each time." ”
In fact, everyone at the scene knew that this price was much higher than the real value of the real thing, but since it was a charity auction, everyone didn't feel inappropriate.
"You can start holding up your cards. Although this jade Guanyin is not far away, the carving is exquisite, if there is a ...... who believes in Buddhism at home"
"10 million. ”
The auctioneer of "......" wanted to continue blowing, but before he finished speaking, there was already a voice at table 2.
10 million?
The auctioneer didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he has been in the business for more than ten years, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of bidding, and the first price is 20 times the jump......
It's inhumane!
The eyes of the audience were drawn to table 2, and it was not someone else who was holding the card, but one of the protagonists of the previous "kneeling door".
"Do you want to be so fierce?"
"I didn't expect this guy to be quite showy. ”
"I thought he was a very low-key person. ”
Quite a few people whispered.
There is probably only one old man Chen who can really understand Guo Yongkun on the scene.
Is he in the limelight?
No, he's proofing.
A group of Hong Kong people gathered together and wanted to donate money to the mainland for charity, what a meaningful thing. Then how could he, a mainlander who is 2800, not express it first?
Whatever it is, just buy it.
And he also wants to improve the "specification" of this charity dinner, he won the first lot at a price of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, is it possible that the second lot will be sold for another 500,000?
Unlikely.
The rich people here also want to have faces, and they can't be so bad.
"10 million Hong Kong dollars for the first time, is there anyone else bidding?"
Some young people looked at the auctioneer on the stage like fools: What else are you going to expect?
However, that's how an auctioneer works.
"10 million Hong Kong dollars for the second time. ”
"10 million Hong Kong dollars for the third time...... Deal!"
Guo Yongkun likes to mention a white jade Guanyin, saying that this thing is still good, please go home, my mother must be happy.
With him as a proof, the experienced middle-aged auctioneer started the easiest auction of his career.
The oil painting "Girl on the Rhine", with a starting price of 680,000 Hong Kong dollars, and no less than 10,000 yuan each bid, is now open for auction. ”
"5 million!"
"5 million first ......"
"5 million second ......"
"Deal!"
Almost every lot comes out, the first bid and the starting price are far apart, and there are few people who compete.
The process of the auction was completely different from what the organizers had envisioned earlier.
Collect money to receive hand cramps, and easily without getting tired.
This is thanks to the "spoiler" of the person at table 2.
……
On Wednesday afternoon, Guo Yongkun personally rushed to the airport.
Welcome Luo Qiaoyue specially returned to the mainland and invited Luo Siye.
"It's really a big change. Luo Si sat in the back row of Hutouben, looked at the rows of high-rise buildings outside through the car window, and said with emotion.
"Fourth Master, have you been to Hong Kong City before?" Luo Qiaoyue next to him said in surprise.
"Came once, when I was younger. ”
Guo Yongkun, who was sitting in the co-pilot, smiled, he had long known that the fourth master was a person with a story.
And his kind of life experience is rare for ordinary people.
When I came to the Taipingshan Villa, even if it was Luo Si, after a visit, I was speechless for a long time.
"Xiao Kun, your kid is now a capitalist with eight hundred. ”
In fact, many years ago, when he first started contacting, Luo Si saw that the young man in front of him was not simple, and many things that have happened in the past few years have also confirmed this.
But he still didn't expect that the other party in Hong Kong City would actually hold up such a big stall, even bigger than the mainland.
Qiao Yue just told him - my brother can already walk sideways in the business world of Hong Kong City.
In just a few years, he achieved this kind of achievement, and Rao had never heard of such a business wizard in his long life.
"Fourth master, don't be a ruffian with me, now I don't care about the problem of the surname and the surname society. Guo Yongkun shrugged and said.
"Where's the stuff?" Luo Si asked, changing the subject.
"Let's rest for a day and wait until tomorrow. ”
"Take it and see, I'm not tired. ”
Guo Yongkun was helpless for a while, knowing that the old man was stubborn, so he asked Luo Qiaoyue and the prince to help the old man go to the living room on the first floor first, and he went to the study on the third floor to get something.
He also took a bowl from the "warehouse" in order to facilitate the old man's research.
Anyway, everything that has been salvaged so far is the same.
"Oh, Fourth Master, you give me a palm, I don't look left and right at it doesn't look like a rare object. After Guo Yongkun came downstairs, he handed over the white porcelain bowl in his hand.
"Whether it is a rare object or not cannot be judged solely on the beauty of its appearance. "The fourth master doesn't have a good airway.
It's not that he hasn't taught this kid some skills over the years, but this kid is a good hand at trading, but it's really not the material for eating the bowl of rice in the antique shop, and the level is not as strong as the son next to him.
However, his love for antique collecting is still worthy of recognition.
When he first entered the society, no matter how tight his money was, he never sold a single antique. When I was really in a hurry to use money, I just "mortgaged" an antique to the kid of Ah Gui.
At that time, Luo Si knew that this kid really loved this way.
This is also the reason why he and Ah Ghost are obviously in the relationship of ancestor and apprentice, but they have always stayed in the house near the mouth of the river.
Speaking of that house, after guarding it for so many years, he really didn't feel at ease when he left suddenly. Fortunately, this kid arranged for two people to live in.
"Well, I'm short-sighted, you can take a good look. Guo Yongkun pouted and said that he had always been worried about the fact that he had never been able to grasp the essentials in the antique business.
Luo Si ignored him anymore, took out the black magnifying glass that was definitely older than Guo Yongkun and ordinary from the pocket of his green cloth coat, held the white porcelain bowl in one hand, and probed around with the other, with a focused expression.
"The carcass is heavy, the bottom of the bowl is delicate, and the enamel is thick and moisturizing. ”
Is that a foregone conclusion?
Guo Yongkun was almost dumbfounded, it was only a few minutes......
However, I was suddenly a little excited in my heart, since the fourth master said so, it means that this bowl that seems to be a "parallel import" is actually not so watery.
It's still an official kiln product!
"Fourth master, which kiln?" he hurriedly asked.
Knowing that the fourth master has a very thorough study of the ancient kiln, he should have been positioned.
"Jingdezhen. ”
So sure?
Although Luo Si didn't look up, he seemed to have felt Guo Yongkun's doubts, and explained slowly: "Porcelain flourished in the Song Dynasty, when thousands of kilns competed for beauty in the north and south of the river, with many different styles, so Song porcelain has always been difficult to study.
But after the Yuan Dynasty, the number of kilns decreased on a large scale, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was almost the pattern of Jingdezhen porcelain kilns dominating the world. Due to the geographical relationship, the porcelain of Jingdezhen has distinctive characteristics and is not difficult to identify. ”
There was a lot of information in these words, and Guo Yongkun was ignorant when he heard it, but he grasped a key point.
"So Fourth Master, this bowl is from the Ming Dynasty?"
"There is no doubt about the beginning of tomorrow. ”
Luo Si bowed slightly: "Before Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, there was basically no style of porcelain in Jingdezhen. After Yongle, the official kiln porcelain began to write the year name, dry payment and picture record of the dynasty. It is mostly written in blue and white, some are secretly engraved and some are embossed. ”
Master!
That's the master!
It will be a few minutes to get this bowl right!
Guo Yongkun was overjoyed, Jingdezhen official kiln porcelain in the early Ming Dynasty, he recalled some market information he had groped in his previous life, if this bowl was placed in 30 years, the market value should start at 200,000.
And like this bowl, he has......
According to the information reported by the salvage team, there were at least 10,000 such bowls in the stern of the ship!
There is no mistake
