Walking in the middle of this row of shelves full of fine porcelain, Zhuang Rui seemed to have come to the ancient Ouchi palace office, and the time was staggered to hundreds of years ago, and countless people wearing ancient clothes were busy in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The production process of Chinese porcelain is extremely cumbersome, the advent of a fine porcelain, to go through countless processes, coupled with the replacement of historical dynasties, it can be said that every piece of porcelain, there is a hidden story, so many porcelain, is a living history.

Zhuang Rui released the aura in his eyes, and everywhere he entered, there were white, yellow, red and purple colors everywhere, and there was no need to deliberately observe them, the aura colors in those porcelain were reflected in Zhuang Rui's eyes, and Zhuang Rui faintly felt that it seemed that the aura in his eyes had become active.

I don't know if it's because there are too many antiques, or for some other reason, in these spaces full of porcelain, it seems that there is aura everywhere, and as soon as the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes escapes out of his body, it merges with it.

"Is it going to evolve again?"

Feeling the commotion of the aura, Zhuang Rui was surprised and delighted.

Zhuang Rui gave a name to every change in the aura in his eyes, called evolution, because the quality of the aura in his eyes seems to be getting higher and higher, it seems that it is difficult to absorb it from other antiques, so after returning from Myanmar, it has been stagnant.

Although his eyes have undergone several abnormal changes, Zhuang Rui still hasn't figured out any rules, every time it happens is so abrupt, and now Zhuang Rui is helpless, he can only wait for the aura in his eyes to merge with the ubiquitous aura in this space, and then return to his eyes.

The last time he was in Tallinn, Myanmar, he sat for an afternoon, Zhuang Rui was afraid that he would not stand here stupidly for an afternoon, and the matter would be a little troublesome, so he tried it to see if he could recall his aura.

What surprised Zhuang Rui a little was that the aura instantly separated from the aura of this space with his mind and returned to his eyes.

And at the same time that the aura entered his eyes, Zhuang Rui felt that his eyes were as if they were being washed with warm water, which was extremely comfortable, which made Zhuang Rui can't help but moan in a low voice.

After two or three minutes, Zhuang Rui reopened his eyes, and after releasing the aura, he found that the aura was no longer able to absorb the rich aura in this space, and it didn't seem to have changed.

"How so?"

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment, and then looked into the distance, and the aura in his eyes suddenly passed through the thick walls of the castle and came outside, Zhuang Rui saw Qin Xuanbing, who was accompanied by the housekeeper and taking a walk with the white lion.

The white lion is particularly sensitive to the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes, and when the aura is close, he can't help but sneeze, and then breaks free of Qin Xuanbing's hand, looking at the air in front of him suspiciously, it feels Zhuang Rui's existence, but it can't see Zhuang Rui, and can't help but be a little impatient.

Zhuang Rui saw the white lion's actions, and hurriedly used the aura to swim around the white lion's body, and took advantage of the white lion's comfortable shaking of his head to take the aura back.

"This ...... It's almost 100 meters away, isn't it?"

After Zhuang Rui retracted his gaze, his face was full of surprise, although the aura failed to advance, but the distance released was far away, from 30 meters to 100 meters, which was more than 3 times higher.

But now is not a good time to observe the aura, Zhuang Rui still thinks that tomorrow when Peng Fei arrives, he will sign an agreement with Ezkenna to exchange collections, and after staying abroad for more than a week, Zhuang Rui is a little homesick.

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a short time, and in the eyes of Ezkena on the side, Zhuang Rui seemed to be intoxicated by this porcelain sea, and it was understandable to have this kind of performance when he encountered his favorite objects.

Coming back to his senses, Zhuang Rui began to wipe the porcelain on the shelf, because there were too many of them, he had no way at all, and he didn't have so much time to check them one by one, so he simply used the aura to distinguish the strength of the colors in the porcelain, and only looked at the porcelain with purple aura.

"Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln carved plum vase ......"

Suddenly, Zhuang Rui's eyes lit up, and a plum bottle with a thin neck, a small mouth, and a big belly entered his eyes.

"Five Famous Kilns, ......"

Zhuang Rui sighed in his heart, and carefully took the plum vase about 40 cm high off the shelf.

Baiding porcelain, the crown of white porcelain burned in the Song Dynasty, this plum vase is milky white as a whole, the color is extremely pure, and it is not yellowed because of the passage of time.

The glazed light of the plum bottle is between the glassy and the milky, the carved lines on the bottle are strong and powerful, unrestrained and smooth, the layout is sparse, and the lines are mostly one wide and one narrow in parallel, which is the unique technical style of porcelain carving in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is also the first time Zhuang Rui has seen the complete five famous kiln porcelain, if placed in China, this plum vase can definitely be regarded as a national first-class protected cultural relic, even in the domestic collection of cultural relics, is also extremely rare.

After Zhuang Rui put the plum bottle back, he said to Ezkena behind him: "Mr. Ezkenna, this plum bottle can be used as a transaction between us......

"No problem!"

Ezkenner replied dryly that although this piece of porcelain was considered a fine piece in his collection, it was nothing compared to Picasso's work.

Along these wooden shelves as high as one meter and five or six, Zhuang Rui walked forward, his eyes were like radar, strafing these porcelain, just walking out of a distance of five or six meters, Zhuang Rui selected seven or eight pieces of porcelain.

To say that Zhuang Rui favored more than seventeen or eighteen pieces, but he also knew in his heart that although Ezkenner wanted to get Picasso's works, these porcelains also had a price, and he couldn't be too greedy, so he reluctantly put down several pieces of porcelain in the photo.

Zhuang Rui selected porcelain, in addition to the beginning of the white porcelain plum vase, there is also a Song Daijun kiln purple spot bowl known as "into the kiln one color out of the kiln ten thousand colors", its color red in the blue, intricate, brilliant and colorful, extraordinary charm.

In addition, the porcelain belonging to the Song kiln, as well as the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln washing, the Southern Song Dynasty Longquan kiln blue glazed chrysanthemum petal tea cup, and the other several pieces, is the Ming Dynasty porcelain, there are Chenghua Doucai Tianzi jar, Jiajing colorful fish bath pattern jar, colorful Wanli colorful bottle and so on.

Just a few pieces of porcelain, Zhuang Rui estimated in his heart, its value, at least more than 200 million RMB, and it is also the kind that has no price, in the domestic auction house, these objects, three or five years may not be able to see one.

In particular, the Wanli five-color dragon pattern vase, although the age is slightly behind in these porcelain, but the production process is extremely exquisite, the four sides are painted with colorful Ganoderma lucidum dragon pattern, the pattern is auspicious and auspicious, and the blue and white script at the bottom of the vessel is "Ming Wanli Year System", the font is neat, and the inheritance is orderly.

These pieces of porcelain can be regarded as national first-class cultural relics, you know, even in the millions of collections in the Palace Museum, there are only more than 1,000 pieces of collections that have been assessed as national first-class cultural relics.

Seeing that Ezkena's face beside him was as usual, and he did not change color because of the objects Zhuang Rui chose, Zhuang Rui's heart calmed down a little, and he was reluctant to give up any of the items he selected.

"Mr. Ezkenner, why don't you see the Yuan Qinghua on your list?"

When Zhuang Rui was about to walk to the end of the wooden frame, he hadn't seen the long-awaited Yuan blue and white porcelain, so he couldn't help but ask.

Although the Yuan Dynasty only lasted for more than 100 years, Yuan blue and white porcelain has an irreplaceable position in the history of Chinese porcelain.

Yuan blue and white porcelain opened up a new era of transition from plain porcelain to colored porcelain, its rich and majestic, bold painting style, many layers of painting, exquisite production and very few handed down, so it is extremely precious.

Zhuang Rui has not seen the authentic works of Yuan Qinghua in the major domestic museums he has been to, so seeing Yuan Qinghua in the Ezkena collection before really made Zhuang Rui excited for a long time.

"Hehe, Zhuang, you are a connoisseur, the value of Yuan Qinghua is much higher than the porcelain you just selected......

Ezkena smiled, took a few steps ahead, walked to the front of Zhuang Rui, and led him to the end of the wooden frame, Zhuang Rui found that here, there was a cabinet only more than one meter high, and on it, there were only six pieces of porcelain, all of which were blue and white porcelain.

Zhuang Rui's first glance was attracted by the blue and white porcelain jar on the top, this porcelain jar is about 278 cm high, with a wide circle of feet at the bottom, a straight mouth and a short neck, a slightly thicker lips, a round abdomen, a gradual widening below the shoulders, and a gradual tightening to the bottom of the abdomen.

The main ornament of the porcelain jar is "Guiguzi descending the mountain", which describes the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi, who promised to go down the mountain to rescue Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, the famous generals of Qi who were trapped by Yan State, under the repeated request of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi State.

The whole blue and white ornament is colorful, the picture is full, sparse and dense, the primary and secondary are distinct, the whole is integrated, the characters are portrayed smoothly and naturally, the charm is full, the mountain stone is dyed heartily, the pen is fine, and it is perfect.

"Mr. Ezkenna, I want this blue and white porcelain jar!"

Zhuang Rui's tone was very sure, even if he put on a few sketches of Picasso, he must bring this Yuan blue and white figure porcelain jar back to China.

You know, in the surviving Yuan blue and white porcelain, painted with the theme of character stories is even rarer, such as the "Guiguzi down the mountain" picture jar painted with character stories of the Yuan blue and white jar, known to be handed down only 8 pieces, and none of them are in the country.

If Zhuang Rui can bring this piece of porcelain back to China, it will definitely make a sensation in the domestic collecting world, and it will be beneficial to the opening of his museum.

"Zhuang, you also know that this character Yuan Qinghua has very few surviving in the world, and I have this one ......"

For the first time, Ezkenna's face showed a look of embarrassment.

Although he did not say it explicitly, Ezkener had already expressed his intention that Zhuang Rui's six sketches of Picasso figures alone would not be enough to exchange for so much porcelain.

"Mr. Ezkenner, we are friends, I will not let you suffer, so let's do it, this figure Yuan blue and white, plus this fish-pattern blue and white porcelain jar, I will take out six more sketches of Picasso, what do you think?"

Zhuang Rui said that the fish pattern blue and white porcelain jar is a piece of porcelain placed next to the Guiguzi blue and white porcelain, this porcelain is painted with mackerel, white, silver carp, mandarin fish play in the water pattern.

Zhuang Rui knows that in Chinese culture, the four fish of mackerel, white, silver carp and mandarin fish are homonyms of the words "clean, white, honest and clean".

In addition, on the shoulder of the jar, there are peony entwined branches and auspicious lotus petal patterns on the feet, the mouth of the jar has a wave pattern unique to the 14th century, the shoulder of the jar has a peony pattern, and the auspicious cloud treasure grid at the bottom of the jar is painted with patterns such as Ganoderma lucidum, conch, money, and flames.

Although it is not as good as the Guiguzi Yuan blue and white porcelain jar in terms of value, this fish-pattern jar can be regarded as a fine product in the Yuan blue and white flowers, and the purple gas inside is rich, and there are few that can be compared with Zhuang Rui's many collections.

"Six more Picasso?"

Ezkenner's eyes lit up, but then he said: "Zhuang, the value of this piece of Yuan blue and white is not cheaper than that piece of character blue and white, do you see if it is ......?"

Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Dear Mr. Ezkena, although there are not many Yuan blue and white flowers in existence, compared with that figure blue and white, the number of fish pattern jars in existence seems to be more, and there are no less than twenty pieces of what I know, and the value of these two is not the same......

In some museums in China, there are indeed a few fish pattern jars, although Zhuang Rui has not seen them, but he also knows where they are.

After a pause, Zhuang Rui continued: "Mr. Ezkenner, at the Paris auction three years ago, a five-volume sketch album by Mr. Picasso was sold for $12 million, and now three years have passed.

If, according to Zhuang Rui, he took out twelve sketches, he could bind them into at least two volumes, and according to the current market where Picasso's paintings are priceless, these two sketch albums are worth at least more than 40 million US dollars, and if they are converted into RMB, it will be about 300 million.

Judging from the current market of Yuan blue and white porcelain in the international auction market, the value of this Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar should be around 100 million RMB, and the fish pattern jar is much lower, at most about 20 million.

More importantly, the Picasso works in Zhuang Rui's hands are different from these Chinese porcelain, and Chinese artworks often fail to sell in international auctions.

But Ezkenner knew that if Zhuang Rui put Picasso's sketches at auction, he might not be able to pocket them even if he offered $40 million.

"Zhuang, as you said, we are friends, I think, this deal between us, can be reached ......"

Ezkena is much more familiar with the prices of these items at international auctions than Zhuang Rui, and in terms of price, if he does not count the porcelain he promised to give to Zhuang Rui, he still takes advantage of it.

Although Ezkenner got the news that some people were ready to hype Chinese porcelain in recent years, it was not that the hype had not begun, and Ezkenner's current mind was to change Picasso's works to his hands first.

In order not to make Zhuang Rui regret it, Ezkenna then said: "As a friend, dear Zhuang, I have decided to give away another 200 pieces of Chinese porcelain to enrich your upcoming museum, and I hope you will accept ......"

"200 pieces?"

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to Ezkenna, and said: "Thank you, I think, you can definitely be my good friend, when my museum opens, I hope you can attend......"

"I must have been yearning for the beautiful and mysterious China for a long time......"

Ezkena shook Zhuang Rui's hand, and the two looked at each other and laughed, as for what everyone was thinking, only God knew.

In all fairness, this transaction is not about who suffers and who takes advantage, the porcelain selected by Zhuang Rui is the best of Chinese porcelain, which is extremely rare at home and abroad, and the price has been rising over the years.

However, Zhuang Rui's Picasso sketches are also precious and exceptional, sought after by many international collectors, and are also value-added works of art.

As for the 200 pieces of Chinese porcelain that Ezkena took out, he has not seen the real thing, and it is difficult for Zhuang Rui to assess their value, but as far as Ezkenna's collection is concerned, it seems that it is more difficult to find some crooked melons and cracked dates.

"Boss, I'm running back and forth, but you want to reimburse me for the expenses......"

In the hotel where Zhuang Rui lived, Huang Fuyun was holding an apple and nibbling on it, he was busy for the past two days, and after returning to New York, he immediately packed all the collections in New York, mailed them back to China, and then resigned from the law firm, all of which added up to only one day's work.

For his own choice, Huang Fuyun also suffered a lot of losses, and several lists in his hand had to be handed over to others, and several consultant positions arranged by the law firm were also cancelled, so it can be said that he left the house.

"Hehe, Brother Huangfu, after a while, you will definitely be proud of your choice......"

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, he can imagine what kind of impact and impact this collection will have on China's antique industry after it appears in his museum, of course, all this must be based on the museum can be opened.

"Why did I believe your blank checks......"

Huang Fuyun muttered a sentence in his mouth, took out an agreement from his bag, handed it to Zhuang Rui, and said: "The number of traded items is blank, can you see if there is anything that needs to be changed......?

This agreement was drawn up by Huang Fuyun on the plane, Zhuang Rui took a look at it, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Ezkena's castle in the afternoon......"

Zhuang Rui didn't accept Ezkenna's invitation yesterday and lived in his castle, mainly because he felt that the place was a little remote, and maybe there would really be vampires at night.

"Zhuang, dear friend, I'm really glad to see you, you Chinese talk about candles and nights, if only you didn't go back yesterday......"

It was still the Rolls-Royce that picked up Zhuang Rui and the others at the hotel, and after they came to the castle in Ezkena, the English gentleman was already waiting at the door.

"Hehe, when I have the opportunity in the future, when you go to Beijing, I must do my best to ...... the friendship of the landlord."

Zhuang Rui smiled and snorted, buddy let his daughter-in-law not hug, what are you talking about at night with you, a foreign devil, are you sick?

After entering the hall of the castle, Zhuang Rui found that Mr. Stirling, who had been a little unhappy with him, was in the living room, and there were two other people, a man and a woman.

"Zhuang, these two are Alice and Gasper from the London Notary Office, and they will notarize our transaction......"

Sure enough, Ezkenna's introduction made Zhuang Rui affirm his thoughts, and the two notaries stood up with curious eyes and bowed slightly to Zhuang Rui and the others.

Although Alice and Gasper don't know the origin of Zhuang Rui, it must not be easy for someone who can trade with Ezkenna, a rich man.

After Zhuang Rui returned the salute to the two, he looked at Ezkena, handed over a sketchpad folder, and said: "Mr. Picasso's 12 sketches are here, Ezkena, you can ask Mr. Sterling to appraise ......"

After Ezkena took the things, he laughed and said, "Zhuang, I asked you to sort out the porcelain you asked for overnight yesterday, you can take a look at it first......"

Ezkena raised his hand, and more than 10 people put some cardboard boxes of different sizes on the floor in front of Zhuang Rui.

"Zhuang, the porcelain I promised to give you has been placed in the truck outside, ready to be delivered to the airport at any time, if you need to inspect it, there is no problem......

Zhuang Rui told Ezkena yesterday that he would leave London today, and these porcelains on the ground are the ones that Zhuang Rui values the most and are also the most valuable, so Ezkenna said so.

"Mr. Ezkenna, I've always trusted my friends, so I don't need to check ......"

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, as early as when these porcelains had not been put down, Zhuang Rui had already verified them with aura, it was indeed the two pieces of Yuan blue and white and Song Ming porcelain, and Ezkenna did not cheat.

As for the truck containing the other porcelain, it was parked at the gate of the castle, within the range of Zhuang Rui's aura, although Zhuang Rui did not check them one by one, but the aura inside showed that all of them were genuine.

"Boss, yes, it's indeed the real Picasso ......"

Eliminating the need for Zhuang Rui to inspect the goods, it didn't take long for Sterling to identify Picasso's work, and after more than 10 minutes, the authenticity had already been identified.

After Zhuang Rui and Ezkenna signed the agreement, two notaries issued a notarial certificate, and the transaction involving hundreds of millions of funds was quietly completed.

"Mr. Ezkenner, welcome to Beijing!"

After the deal was completed, Zhuang Rui and Ezkena breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
