Chapter 194: Zhu Fang (I)

A thorn in the heart of Zhou You.

He thought that this pink and blue dark engraved blue and white plate was not much more expensive than the copper cloisonné enamel celestial ball bottle in his hand, and he didn't want its value to catch up with the Yuan blue and white flowers, which were almost synonymous with "sky-high prices". According to Cheng Lao's statement, the value of this pink and blue engraved blue and white plate is probably not less than 10 million.

Exchanging tens of millions of yuan of treasure for a maximum of six million antique inkstones, this transaction is a loss.

But Cheng Feihu doesn't care about these small money, in order to meet the needs of that big man, it can be said that he has no hesitation. What's more, this pink and blue dark engraved blue and white plate was originally a pair, and the price of the acquisition was not even eight million, which is a big leak. Now it is used to exchange the best Ziyun inkstone, which is rare in the world and is very popular with literati and ink writers, which can be described as extremely cost-effective in Cheng Feihu's heart.

Cheng Feihu asked: "Cheng Lao, I will use this pink and blue dark carved blue and white plate to exchange your old best Ziyun inkstone, I don't know what you think of it?"

"The old man deeply understands Mr. Cheng's sincerity. ”

Cheng Lao looked left and right, and finally nodded helplessly: "Although this piece of the best Ziyun inkstone from Wang Mian's handwriting is worth a lot of money, no matter how high it is, it can't be the pink and blue engraved blue and white plate in the hand of the general manager, and the old man agreed to the exchange of Mr. Cheng." However, this superb Ziyun Yan has been following the old man for many days, and he has a certain feeling, I wonder if Mr. Cheng can agree to a small request from the old man?"

"Please. ”

Cheng Feihu was in a good mood, and he spoke more and more happily.

Cheng Lao begged embarrassedly: "Mr. Cheng, the old man wants to keep this superb Ziyun inkstone for a few more days." It doesn't take long, about a month is enough. ”

Cheng Feihu obviously saw through Cheng Lao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "A month is too short, half a year." Even my pink and blue engraved blue and white plate is also placed here for half a year, which is regarded as a little deposit for the kid. ”

"Thank you Mr. Cheng for your understanding!"

Cheng Lao couldn't imagine that Cheng Feihu, who had never had a good reputation, was so easy to talk to, not only took the initiative to extend the time, but also gave him a treasure worth tens of millions for free for exhibition, such a pride is not something ordinary people can have.

That big man likes antiques, but not the type that the more expensive he is, the more he likes it, if it is not his appetite, you take an antique worth more than 100 million and give it to him will also be swept out of the door. And now, like a collection of seal carving, painting, calligraphy in one, with a strong historical atmosphere, especially this kind of majestic and heroic taste of the best ancient inkstone, can definitely have the appetite for that big man.

Buying this superb Ziyun inkstone, Cheng Feihu is equivalent to a year of relaxation, a year of vacation, just ask him how not easy, how unhappy.

Cheng Feihu, who was in a very comfortable mood, immediately entered the second topic: "Cheng Lao, I don't know if you can let us see that blue and white flower? The Yongle blue and white in your museum collection is one of the highlights of this time, since you are here, you naturally can't miss it." ”

"This way, please!"

Cheng Lao, who was also in a happy mood, happily took everyone to the second place with a large number of onlookers.

At this time, Zhou You found that the splendid museum was full of tall and powerful security personnel, and Zhou You even found a lot of inconspicuous, but very good angles of the place secretly hung ultra-small surveillance video heads, monitoring every move in the museum.

Zhou You smiled and said: "The security level is quite high!"

Cheng Lao replied: "It's not high, it's not good! Any one here is hundreds of thousands, and the high one is more than 10 million, and the total price is more than 300 million. ”

"That's just as well!"

Zhou You replied while thinking, feeling that his villa and Dragon Bird Tower should indeed be upgraded to a higher level of security.

With the more and more antiques he found, and the more and more high-end jadeite he gambled on, the more he attracted attention, and the biggest problem was that he was often not at home, and there was almost no means of prevention, and all the treasures were really in a very dangerous situation.

Although Zhou You had ordered a small vault like his from Zhang Yingwu before, it was stored in the basement of the new villa, ready to store his proud treasure. However, it will take two or three months before the villa is built and renovated, and this time is very dangerous, and you must take some precautions when traveling.

Thinking of this, Zhou You immediately had an idea.

Cheng Lao didn't pay attention to the wandering of the mind, when they walked to the Yongle blue and white piece, Cheng Lao immediately enthusiastically told Cheng Feihu and Zhou You: "The Ming Dynasty used blue and white as a decoration, and perfectly integrated the shape and ornamentation into one, so that it developed into a work of art for furnishings, and it was an object that future generations competed to imitate. The decoration of this gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly is not the traditional dragon and phoenix pattern, or ruyi cloud pattern, landscape flowers, but a rare Hu people song and dance, reflecting the extremely strong West Asian atmosphere at the beginning, and it is a model for an era. ”

Cheng Feihu added: "The most important thing is that this gourd bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly was retrieved from overseas, and the money used is not very high. ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Cheng to hear this story. ”

Cheng Lao showed obvious surprise and said: "Lao Yu used to do foreign trade, often going overseas, and occasionally coming into contact with foreign collectors. By chance, I met a collector in Southeast Asia, was invited to see his collection, and then saw the porcelain, which I eventually traded for a limited edition Ferrari. ”

Zhou You sighed: "Limited edition Ferrari, this price is not small!"

Cheng Lao replied lightly: "At that time, the car was worth more than 7 million, and if it is sold now, it will be about 10 million." ”

Zhou You praised: "Good spirit!"

Cheng Lao replied: "It is the lifelong wish of every collector to let the national treasure return to China, and the old man is just doing his duty." ”

Cheng Feihu and Zhou You both nodded.

There are so many patriots in the antique circle, Xu Lao is like this, the big man behind the Cheng family is also like this, Ye Nanhai is even more like this, and now there is another Cheng Lao. The appearance of such a high frequency makes Zhou You feel a kind of passionate impulse.

Cheng Lao seemed to want to rub the gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly, but it was isolated by a special glass cover on the periphery. However, his mind was obviously a little focused, and he still did the same movements, and continued to explain to Cheng Feihu and Zhou You: "You look at this line, there is a bit of modern style in the smoothness, and the coloring of the shades and shades is just right, and with the rare Hu people clothing, the whole porcelain is filled with a strong sense of beauty from the inside out." ”

Cheng Feihu also sighed: "It is indeed a perfect porcelain!"

"Perfect!"

Zhou You is quite sensitive to this word, because Cheng Feihu's last general jar was too perfect, so he caught the flaw for Zhou You.

Thinking of this, Zhou You launched the spiritual perspective without saying a word:

Zhu Fang!

Seeing these two thrilling big characters, Zhou You's face instantly turned white.

Cheng Feihu wanted to ask Zhou You's opinion, but seeing Zhou You's face, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao You, what happened to make your face so ugly?"

Cheng Lao also came back to his senses and cared: "Xiaoyou, if you are unwell, why don't you go to the old study to rest?"

"Well, I just have something to tell you. ”

Zhou You thought for a moment and replied, and at the same time gave Cheng Feihu a look.

Although Cheng Feihu couldn't read the subtlety, he knew that Zhou You was not lost, so he also took the opportunity to say: "Cheng Lao, I also feel tired, why don't we study the possibility of cooperation with your study." ”

Cheng Lao obviously heard the meaning of Cheng Feihu's words and nodded.

This is his territory, and he is not afraid of Cheng Feihu and Zhou You's small moves. The most important thing is that when I saw the gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly, it was suddenly not good, which is not a good sign.

Although Cheng Lao felt that the possibility of that uneasiness was very small, perhaps out of caution or out of respect for Cheng Feihu, he still chose to cooperate.

The crowd came to the study.

At this time, Zhou You regained his previous calm, and his face was not as ugly as before, but he looked at Cheng Lao's eyes very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to express it.

"Just say what you have. ”

Cheng Feihu knew that Zhou You had something to say, and he was even more unhappy with such an embarrassing atmosphere, so he immediately asked Zhou You to open up his words.

Zhou You took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "I'm sorry to tell you, I personally think that gourd bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly is a fake, and it is also from the handwriting of a high imitation master." ”

"It can't be!"

Cheng Lao immediately turned his face and shouted: "The collector who sold is a very famous collector in Singapore, and he also has a considerable reputation in the world, how can he sell me a fake." ”

Zhou You replied with a wry smile: "I'm afraid even he doesn't know that this gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly is a fake." ”

Cheng Feihu knew that Zhou You's attainments in identifying antique porcelain, and he himself had a deep experience, and hurriedly asked: "Xiaoyou, although you can help me identify Cheng Fang, but this time it is related to the reputation of Cheng Lao, and even related to the honor of this porcelain exchange meeting, I hope Xiaoyou can be cautious." If you're not sure, take back what you just said. ”

I have to say that Cheng Feihu, who is very bold on the surface, also has a careful side, the first sentence is to improve the status of Zhou You, and the latter sentence is to leave a way out for Zhou You, if it is not right, there will be a step.

Zhou You replied very seriously: "I'm seventy percent sure!"

Hiss...

Cheng Lao gasped.

Although Zhou You didn't say no words, such a tone and the probability of affirmation are enough to explain Zhou You's attitude. If Zhou You is a little person with no fame and no background, Cheng Lao will definitely take it as a joke, but Zhou You is a proud disciple of Xu Lao, and he has also identified Cheng Fang, such a qualification background, he can't help but pay attention to it.

Cheng Lao thought for a while, and finally said, "Please give me a little time!"

After speaking, Cheng Lao walked out quickly.
