Chapter 528: Myanmar

Some fluorescent stones rely on absorbing sunlight during the day and will shine at night, even if they are carved, they are not real night pearls, and the price is very cheap. But some of them emit light by themselves, and most of the light is very gentle, carved out to be the legendary pearl of the night.

It is not the idea of the night pearl that travels around, because he already has one, and it is still famous in history, and the value is extraordinary, so naturally there is no need for other night pearls to embellish.

Seeing Zhou You's happy appearance, Xu Song knew that he had a chance, and hurriedly asked: "Teacher Zhou, we have secretly acquired a giant night pearl with a diameter of 50 centimeters, weighing more than 200 kilograms, with a surface pattern like a turtle's back, and extremely smooth. ”

Liu Yi asked, "Is there such a big night pearl?"

Zhou You nodded and said, "Yes, a few years ago, there was an auction in Guangdong that successfully auctioned two night pearls found in Xinjiang. One big and one small, the big one is the same as Mr. Xu said, the small one has a diameter of 30 centimeters, and they are all very giant fluorescents. According to the accounts, they emit milky white light in the dark night, and the longer the time, the higher the temperature and the brighter it becomes, which is very unique. ”

Xu Song praised sincerely: "Yes, it's those two, Mr. Zhou really has a good memory, and he is even familiar with the auction records from a few years ago." ”

After a pause, Xu Song said again: "One of the two is enough for us." Far from being mortal enemies, the auction world and museums have a good relationship of cooperation and mutual benefit. If antiques and works of art are not communicated, their meaning and value will not be reflected, and the sense of social identity will become lower and lower, and the whole circle will be a pool of stagnant water. ”

Zhou You understood what Xu Song meant and asked, "Okay, what do you want?"

He knew that things were not so cheap, and that there would be sleepiness and pillows every day.

Xu Song replied: "According to our investigation, the market potential of cowpea red porcelain for the Kangxi court is good, and there are signs of gradual heating up recently. ”

"Kangxi court royal cowpea red porcelain!"

Liu Yi seemed to be very sensitive to this, and said: "Cowpea red porcelain is the most exquisite of all kinds of copper-red glazed ware in the Qing Dynasty. The difficulty of firing is much greater than that of ordinary red red, even if many people deliberately imitate it in the later period, it is difficult to achieve its essence. ”

There are a lot of cowpea red porcelain for the Kangxi court that Zhou You got this time, so he was naturally very proud. It is said that the Metropolitan Museum of Art alone has more than 100 pieces in its collection, which is more than the sum of the collections of domestic museums. And Zhou You has more cowpea red porcelain for the Kangxi court than the Metropolitan Museum of America, and it has increased by three or four times on this number, which shows how terrible Zhou You's harvest is this time.

Xu Song knew that there was a play when he saw Zhou You's expression, and hurriedly requested: "Teacher Zhou, we also Wuyang Auction House will not make those excessive requests, I just hope that Teacher Zhou can transfer out a few duplicate cowpea red porcelain." ”

"Again!"

Mr. Cheng Lao and others from the Yongjian Museum had already taken such a route with Zhou You, and took away a small batch of recurring porcelain. It's just that because of the rarity of cowpea red porcelain, and there are too few cowpea red porcelain at the royal level of the palace, so Zhou You didn't transfer too much, and I don't want to have to cut some love now.

After thinking about it, Zhou You finally chose to agree, saying: "Yes, yes, but the things exchanged must be able to enter my eyes, otherwise the deal will not be concluded." ”

"Of course. ”

Xu Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The original intention of Wuyang Auction House is very simple: to seize the super customer with unlimited potential in Zhouyou, and make an appropriate amount of antique investment while communicating, which is the right bridge of communication.

At the same time, Xu Song was also secretly grateful to Jiang Jun's helpers. If it weren't for him, it would be impossible for him to sit down and chat with Zhou You, and reach a preliminary intention of cooperation.

Liu Yi, Xu Song and the boss of Fushi Glasses have all completed their goals, and the remaining foils are naturally urgent, so they hurriedly seized the opportunity to seek advice from Zhou You. Some of them are here to ask for appraisals, some are here to deal with business and hope to get business cooperation, and some are simply here to sell things.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou You finalized a high-grade timber purchase agreement worth nearly 10 million yuan for Longque Tower, and prepared to let Hu Shi, a hermit in the city, operate. In addition, Zhou You spent a high price of 4.3 million yuan to get a very meaningful ancient giant Buddha statue for the Mingyuan Museum, increasing the variety of exhibits.

It took three hours, and the tour was finally completed, and the guests also said goodbye one after another, although the atmosphere was not warm but also harmonious, but it made the tour very happy. If it weren't for the late hour, I would like to invite everyone to get together outside.

In this way, the day that was neither busy nor idle passed.

……

……

A few days later.

Zhou You took his parents to the villa to take care of Xu Man, and after removing his worries, he leisurely flew to Myanmar.

It's just that Xu Jie and Cheng Feihu are not in Myanmar, but in Laos for final consultations. It is said that Laos, which lacks funds, simply treats Xu Jie and Cheng Feihu as the gods of wealth and provides very generous discounts, while Xu Jie and Cheng Feihu naturally did not put their posture very high in order to obtain the mineral resources in the agreement, let alone eat up the benefits, so that the two sides can benefit each other and continue to do business for a long time.

If it weren't for domestic policy restrictions and formalities, they didn't reach a final agreement. However, it was also the last moment, so they had no way to leave, so they could only let Zhou You take care of it slowly in Myanmar first.

However, Zhou You is not idle in a daze, you must know that Huang Jianming and Ma Fatzi have already laid out the layout, a small foreign trade company was established quietly, and now it is quietly operating, transporting a batch of ammunition for Huang's jewelry and Jade Pavilion.

And now, Zhou You is in Naypyidaw to meet with Ma Fatzi, who is temporarily stationed.

"Xiaoyou, I'm waiting for you to wait until your neck grows!"

Ma Fatzi waited until Zhou Yu got out of the airport and immediately gave a warm hug.

Zhou You apologized: "Uncle Ma, let you come all the way to pick up the airport, I really don't want to go." ”

Ma Fatzi immediately reproached: "Xiaoyou, if you say this, you will treat Uncle Ma as an outsider." If it weren't for something to trouble you, how could Uncle Ma come all the way over, you think too highly of Uncle Ma. ”

Zhou You smiled and sat down in the seat frame of the fat horse.

Coming to a place where he could speak, Ma Fatzi said with a smile: "The thing that needs to trouble you is very simple, I just want you to help me and see which jadeite has a higher market value." ”

Zhou You asked, "No, isn't market evaluation the strength of you veteran jewelry merchants?

Ma Fatzi said: "Our wool is dug up, and in order to facilitate the passage of the world, it is basically sent over without decomposition. But we don't just dig our own veins, we also offer cooperation or acquisition to the owners of various small mines around us, so as to save them the risk of smuggling. Inevitably, but we will also receive some half-gambling wool, or even plain materials, which are difficult to transport through cheating channels, and can only be exported openly and openly. ”

Zhou You nodded.

The situation in Myanmar is not as stable as it seems, with many areas being divided by armed forces, and some small families and even small villages frantically exploring all the resources in their sphere of influence for money. Therefore, in the major jade mining areas, there are countless small private mines that are not registered and secretly mined, which is like the illegal coal in Shanxi 20 years ago.

Ma Fatzi said: "Naturally, you don't have to bother you, but the controversy of those half-gambling wool materials is very big, and we have no foundation here, so we can only trouble you." ”

Zhou You nodded and said, "Okay, where are you going for me? Could it be that you want me to go to that border mountain? ”

Ma Fatzi said embarrassedly: "No way, that batch of things is really valuable, and it is impossible to transport them over, so we can only go over." But don't worry, we'll rest here for a day, and then tomorrow we will fly to Mandalay, the famous ancient capital of Myanmar, and travel there for a few days, and then drive to that small county town. ”

"Okay. ”

Can you say no?

However, he admired Mandalay and had an appetite for travel.

Myanmar, a sacred land known as the "Land of Buddhism", has a long history and a splendid culture. Buddhism has a history of more than 2,500 years in Myanmar, and Buddhists worship the construction of floating temples, and there are many stupas throughout Myanmar. Therefore, Myanmar is also known as the "Land of Pagodas".

Mandalay, on the other hand, is the second largest city in Myanmar, located in the north-central interior of Myanmar, where several ancient dynasties once established their capitals, and is also a city where a large number of overseas Chinese gather. The Mandalay area is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which shows the number of historical sites there and can be said to be the number one tourist destination in Myanmar.

Because Naypyidhu is the new capital, and this capital was built here because of strategic needs, the infrastructure cannot be compared with the old capital, Yangon, let alone the prosperous cities of China. But I have to say that this multi-ethnic strategic capital is really a bit special, at least not tired of traveling around under the leadership of Ma Fatzi, began to tour the city.

Walking through the streets of Naypyidaw, you will be very curious about this special city.

Ma Fatzi knows the hobby of traveling around, so he will naturally take him to his favorite places.

Ma Fatzi pointed to a stall on the side of the street and said, "Myanmar is a country with extreme Buddhism, and many artworks here are related to Buddhism. Look there, there are still ancient ivory Buddha carvings, which are almost extinct crafts in China. ”
