So although Li Dali also ate mixed rice in Hebei Province, he was not very nervous, and even a little excited, he wished that things would be a little bigger, and he could also see Zhuang Rui's connections. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In Li Dali's mind, no matter how strong the officials in this place are, they will have to clamp their tails and be people when they go to Beijing, and they will also sell some face to those people in Sijiu City.
Not to mention anything else, it is that some section-level cadres in those inconspicuous departments and bureaus in the capital go to the local provinces, which is called inspection work, even if the local people are higher in rank than him, they must be accompanied by a smile, in ancient times, this is called the minister of the Qincha!
"Alas, Lao Xu, I was miserable by you, they can't do anything about you, maybe they will clean me up when they turn around......"
Yu Zhengjun put on a sad expression, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Lao Xu, I think you might as well go out and hide for a while, and come back after this rumor passes, anyway, you don't have the funds to continue your research now......"
"I haven't done anything bad, so why should I hide......? Again...... I don't even have the money to get out......"
Xu Guoqing's face blushed, he still had tens of thousands of yuan in his hand, but he was taken back to his parents' house by his daughter-in-law, and he had a few hundred yuan left in his hand, which was only enough for him to eat, and the factory had already owed three or four months of electricity bills, and Xu Guoqing had no money to pay.
Xu Guoqing's words were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Xu Guoqing to be in such a desperate place, go out to hide for three or five months, one thousand children and eight thousand is enough, but they didn't expect him to even be able to take out this money.
Zhuang Rui glanced at Li Dali and said, "Mr. Li, the money for the porcelain can be given to XCMG......
Some time ago, Zhuang Rui bought a set of eight three-color female figurines in the box in Peng Fei's hand, at that time, Zhuang Rui gave Li Dali 500,000, and the money was naturally given to Xu Guoqing.
Although he had the intention to ask Xu Guoqing to leave this place, Zhuang Rui still disdained to do it while people were in danger.
"Yes, yes, I forgot about it, Lao Yu, Mr. Zhuang bought four pieces of porcelain made by Mr. Xu, a total of 500,000 ......
Look at what I'm doing, Mr. Zhuang said that it is worth so much, that is so much, you are not the first day to mix antiques, modern imitation things, can the price be compared with the real thing?"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Li Dali hurriedly took out a check from his bag, but one yard is one yard, and he didn't give the money directly to Xu Guoqing, but handed it over to Yu Zhengjun, because those Tang Sancai were obtained from Yu Zhengjun.
However, Li Dali didn't know what Yu Zhengjun meant when he looked at him just now, not because the money was too little, but because he thought about it, modern imitation porcelain would be worth three or five thousand.
"Mr. Zhuang, look, how embarrassing this is......"
Yu Zhengjun took the check and hurriedly handed it to Xu Guoqing, and his face was also a little red, originally thinking of using these objects to catch some Kaizi, but he didn't expect Zhuang Rui to give such a high price after identifying the real and fake.
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, waved his hand, and said: "Boss Yu, XCMG's craftsmanship is worth so much money, although these Tang Sancai are not fired in the Tang Dynasty, but they also have extremely high artistic standards and appreciation value, and this cost, it is estimated that it is not low, right?"
"I don't know about this, but I guess it's not a lot of money, right?"
Although Yu Zhengjun knew that Xu Guoqing had spent a lot of money copying these ancient ceramics, he did not know the specific amount.
Yu Zhengjun thought that Gaoyi itself was a place where porcelain clay was produced, and those soils didn't cost money, and the ready-made long-haired kilns didn't cost much money to burn these things.
And in the past, Xu Guoqing's daughter-in-law liked to speculate in stocks, so some of Xu Guoqing's friends thought that the old Xu daughter-in-law had lost all her money by speculating in stocks, and no one could have thought that all this money was used by Xu Guoqing to make porcelain.
Xu Guoqing gently shook the check for 500,000 RMB in his hand, made a "whoosh" sound, and said casually: "If you start firing, it is estimated that it will be enough for two months' ......."
"Damn, the cost is so big?Old Xu, how many objects can you burn out of these 500,000?" Xu Guoqing's words startled Yu Zhengjun beside him, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.
Xu Guoqing raised his head, as if calculating something, and said after a while: "If it goes well, it should be able to fire two or three pieces of porcelain imitating Cizhou kiln, if you are unlucky, I am afraid that you can only fire one at most......"
"What...... What?"
Yu Zhengjun was completely dumbfounded, almost muttering to himself: "500,000 RMB, you can only burn two or three pieces of porcelain?"
"Yes, just to prepare those ancient glazes, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, although I have mastered the firing formula of Cizhou kiln porcelain, but I have never burned the real thing, and in the firing to explore the heat, burn ten furnaces can produce a piece of ware, then it is considered lucky......"
The biggest difficulty in firing antique porcelain with modern technology lies in the formula and glaze, the formula can be restored through various clues and a large number of experiments, but the ancient glaze is very precious due to the conditions.
The ancient glaze used by Xu Guoqing is completely prepared by himself, and he collected all kinds of domestic non-ferrous ores at a high price, grinding them into powder and firing them at high temperatures.
"Lao Xu, that ...... Then the Tang Sancai you burned before, the cost is also so high?"
Yu Zhengjun was already a little trembling when he spoke, you know, he took a lot of Tang Sancai objects from Xu Guoqing, and they were all given away by him as worthless things.
"That's not ......," Xu Guoqing's words made Yu Zhengjun breathe a sigh of relief.
"However, at the beginning, it cost millions to study the formula and glaze, and the cost was relatively low, but because there was too much burned waste, I am afraid it would cost tens of thousands of yuan to burn a piece......
All hand-made imitation of ancient porcelain, because of the non-repeatability of some conditions, it can be said that none of them are exactly the same, those three-color ceramics that fell out of Xu Guoqing's hands, all of them are high-quality, and the bad ones have long been broken by him.
In fact, in the past ten years, Xu Guoqing has only fired a total of fifty or sixty pieces of high-imitation Tang Sancai, and he has only successfully burned three or five things in a year.
Xu Guoqing is obsessed with studying how to restore the firing process of ancient ceramics, but he doesn't care much about the finished things, and there will be money in the meeting, so he generously sends out a lot of things.
Except for the thirty-two utensils that Xu Guoqing took out this time, the others were all looked good by friends and were given to leave, including Boss Yu.
Now that the mountains and rivers are almost exhausted, Xu Guoqing took out more than 30 three-color pottery figurines that he was most satisfied with and sold them, but he really didn't know much about the value of these things.
However, Zhuang Rui took out a check for 500,000 yuan, and Xu Guoqing didn't feel much surprised, after all, he spent an unknown amount of 500,000 yuan to burn these things.
"Oh my God, why didn't you say it earlier, damn, I'm going to take it back......"
After Yu Zhengjun heard Xu Guoqing's words, he was about to run away, he couldn't have imagined that the cost of each of the things that Xu Guoqing was messing around at home was more than tens of thousands of yuan.
"Old Yu, forget it, how can you send something back again?"
Xu Guoqing waved his hand and said nonchalantly, their family has made a fortune since the early eighties, Xu Guoqing will be obsessed with the restoration of ancient ceramics, because the old man can make money, he will also spend money, but he has developed a young master's temperament.
"By the way, Brother Zhuang, do you still accept Tang Sancai? If you still want it, you can order what utensils you want, how big the size, and then I will help you burn it, you can rest assured, I only add a little labor cost to the cost price......
may have been stimulated by the hard days of having no money during this time, Xu Guoqing is now a bit of an existential crisis, and he actually wants to do business, but he is still too sincere and tells Zhuang Rui all his thoughts.
If Xu Guoqing had had this idea earlier, even if the ceramic factory was suspended, he would have been able to rely on his own craftsmanship in repairing imitation ancient porcelain and live a very nourishing life, of course, it is not too late.
"Tang Sancai, I won't accept it, but I'm very interested in the porcelain of this Cizhou kiln, let's have time to discuss it privately......"
Zhuang Rui said half of the words, he was more interested in selling all these high-imitation porcelain to small ***.
Outsiders don't know the admiration of people for Cizhou kiln porcelain, Zhuang Rui is clear, if it is really verified as the official kiln Cizhou porcelain of the Southern Song Dynasty, the price of that piece is definitely more than millions or even tens of millions of RMB.
Now that Li Dali and Yu Zhengjun are present, Zhuang Rui is reluctant to say more, because if this matter is really successful, if it is spread out, then Zhuang Rui's reputation in the international art market will definitely become stinky.
However, Zhuang Rui has no psychological burden at all, the key is to see if Xu Guoqing's craftsmanship in firing Cizhou kiln can not pass the test.
"Mr. Zhuang, I've taken you to see it, and there's nothing for us here, why don't you talk to Mr. Xu again, and I will talk to Lao Yu about something else?"
Li Dali had been mixing in the rivers and lakes for so long, so he naturally saw that Zhuang Rui had something to do, and he didn't want them to hear it, so he hurriedly pulled Yu Zhengjun, who was still there in a circle and counted how much porcelain he had sent out, and was about to go out of the door.
"Among you, who wants Xu Guoqing?"
As soon as Li Dali and Yu Zhengjun walked into the courtyard, a group of people in uniform came in from outside, including *** and industrial and commercial taxation or something, and directly blocked the two back into the room.
