After eating a meal for more than two hours, Zhang Zongxian rarely met a rising star and shared a lot of experience, which benefited Su Yuan a lot.

The two sides left their contact information, Su Yuan was very satisfied with today's harvest, the other party can dominate the auction circle for decades, whether it is contacts or resources, it is a top existence, and there is a great opportunity for cooperation in the future.

Back at the hotel, call the second senior collector to visit tomorrow, Ge Shiqiao of Tianmin Building, the premier blue and white king on Hong Kong Island.

The next day, I came to a small building with a very ordinary appearance, called the phone, and waited for someone to open the door.

"Please come in, welcome welcome!"

Ge Shiqiao, who was in his seventies, was polite and polite, wearing gold-wire glasses, and warmly invited Su Yuan to go in, go directly to the second floor, and visit the collection of Tianmin Building.

"This ......"

As soon as Su Yuan entered the door, he was shocked by hundreds of blue and white flowers of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the blue and white flowers of the Yuan Dynasty, a full 24 pieces, in terms of quantity, second only to Topkapi Palace and Adebil Temple, the third in the world, more than the Forbidden City.

"My father mainly collects Yuan blue and white and Ming and Qing official kiln porcelain, here there are 127 pieces of blue and white, including 24 pieces of blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty, 57 pieces of blue and white in the Ming Dynasty, and 46 pieces of blue and white in the Qing Dynasty, which is the collection of our father and son for 60 years. ”

Ge Shiqiao is also rare to meet such a young junior, Geng Baochang specially called, saying that he wanted to go to a master and let him have a good chat.

Looking around, the decoration is very simple, although it has thousands of family wealth in the eyes of ordinary people, but the life of the old man is very simple. He is also the only full-time employee of Tianmin Building, from cleaning to moving, everything is done by himself.

Su Yuan's purpose for coming this time was mainly Yuan Qinghua, but he didn't expect to see twenty-four genuine pieces, worthy of being the king of blue and white.

Ge Shiqiao saw that Su Yuan was interested in Yuan blue and white porcelain, and said with a smile: "I personally think that the Ming Dynasty was the highest peak of the development of blue and white porcelain, and the Yuan Dynasty of course also had important significance, but it was mainly combined with the influence of the Middle East. ”

For example, in the Qianlong period, some official kiln porcelain made by using carving and other techniques can easily cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, which I think is very abnormal. ”

The old man got straight to the point and bluntly criticized: "I think these things of Qianlong, at best, are just a little finer by craftsmen, and it takes a lot of effort, but I still feel that they are not elegant enough." ”

"When it comes to artistry, it is far from being compared with the blue and white of the early Ming Dynasty. When we were collecting, Qianlong blue and white were of a very low grade, and Yongxuan blue and white were much higher than pastel roads. ”

Su Yuan nodded, agreed with the other party's opinion, and analyzed: "Late porcelain is popular, and I think there is an element of artificial hype. Moreover, many collectors do not have enough cultural background, but they just see that this part of the market appreciates the fastest, and then they take this as an investment. ”

Ge Shiqiao shook his head and said helplessly: "It is impossible to rush the collection, of course, there must be a certain amount of funds, but it depends on whether there is a chance." It's not that if you have money, good things will flow out for you to buy. ”

"We happened to meet a few very important collectors who sold their collections, Qiu Yanzhi, Hu Huichun, Zhao Congyan, Ye Yi and others, so that we had the opportunity to have such a scale of collection today, which is an opportunity and fate. ”

"I still remember one year, a very small auction in Europe was preparing to auction the Hongwu glazed red plum vase, and many people in the circle knew about it. The original auction was scheduled for the afternoon, but because the previous thing was sold quickly, it was the turn to auction it in the morning. ”

"There were only 5 Chinese people present at the time, so they discussed not to fight, and bought them for a small amount of money. Then he took it to Sotheby's to auction it again, and it sold for more than 10 million, and each person earned almost 2 million. ”

"It's all about business, not collecting. But sadly, a lot of people are doing this now. ”

The old man looked at Su Yuan's young face and said earnestly: "A true collector must identify his own goals, and he must have aesthetic taste, patience, history and appraisal knowledge. Accumulate slowly, you can't become a big collector all at once, otherwise it will come and go quickly, and I have seen many of this. ”

"Our stuff is not locked in a safe, it's displayed at home. Experts and scholars from home and abroad have come to us for exchanges. People who are really interested are never conservative, and tell others about their experiences for free, some newcomers don't know how to collect at first, and they know what to buy after reading our things. ”

Su Yuan sighed after hearing this, no wonder the high level of collection on Hong Kong Island is because there are a group of old-timers who selflessly share their experience and lead by example, so that newcomers can avoid detours and spend less money.

The collection can't be based on books, let alone listening to other people's stories, you must see the real thing. It's like knowing people, having more contact with others, and knowing how people dress up is true or false at a glance. If you haven't seen this person, just listen to someone else's introduction, and anyone can lie to you.

After speaking, the old man opened the cabinet and took out the collection one by one, Su Yuan said softly: "Why do you have to work so hard, you do everything yourself......"

The old man waved his hand and said seriously: "These things are not willing to fake their hands to others, in fact, there are gains in the process of hard work." If it's all done by someone else, you don't realize it, and if you serve it, it will reward you, especially the touch. ”

"Many old gentlemen often come to Tianmin Building, such as Mr. Geng Baochang and Mr. Feng Xianming, who have a good relationship with me. Mr. Geng is 12 years older than me and is now 92 years old, but he basically sees things without glasses, and rarely looks with a magnifying glass, just touching them with his hands. ”

"Look at the shape of the vessel, the bottom foot, touch the edge of the mouth, and knock on the sound, you can accurately tell the kiln mouth and age, this ability I have never learned. ”

"Mr. Chen Yujie, who died only the year before last, is completely different, he and Mr. Qiu Yanzhi are brothers, he can see things very carefully, a thing can be looked at for several hours, looking over and over. And he has his own way of seeing things, he doesn't tell others, sometimes he will tell me when he is happy, and after listening to them, he will carefully record them and figure them out for himself. ”

handed Su Yuan a piece of Yongle blue and white flowers, and introduced: "The focus of Tianminlou's collection is the official kiln of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty is very bad after Wanli. ”

"By the time of the Apocalypse Chongzhen, it was basically lost, and many of the things written with the Apocalypse Year System were very rough, so senior collectors did not accept them after they arrived in Wanli. ”

"My father was a literati, and when he was young, he wrote articles, edited newspapers and magazines, and was interested in literature, history and art. It's just that due to economic constraints and years of war, there is no condition to collect. ”

"It wasn't until I came to Hong Kong Island to do business and had an economic foundation that I started to buy some things, including ceramics, calligraphy and paintings. At that time, there was no auction here, Sotheby's only came in 1973, and most of them were bought in places such as Boya, Zhongyi, and Jiguzhai. ”
