Xu Guoqing didn't expect Zhuang Rui to say this, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and muttered, "This ...... Isn't that a lie?"
Xu Guoqing is still very confident in his own skills, and the Tang Sancai he fired can definitely be fake. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Moreover, Xu Guoqing also knows some methods of making ancient porcelain, and knows that after his porcelain is old, it is difficult to detect the authenticity unless he uses instruments.
But Xu Guoqing also has his own bottom line, that is, he can't use his own skills to deceive others, which is also the main reason why the porcelain he has fired for more than ten years is only given away and not sold.
"Yes, it's a lie, but I'm a foreigner who deceives ......"
Zhuang Rui's expression is very frank, Zhuang Rui has seen a lot of things in the antique shop, but as the saying goes, there is a way to steal, what Zhuang Rui can do is to deceive those foreigners who deliberately inflate the price of Chinese antiques.
"XCMG, you don't know much about the antique market, do you?"
Zhuang Rui couldn't be relieved when he saw Xu Guoqing's face, and then said: "More than a hundred years ago, foreigners used guns to loot Chinese art.
And now, these foreign devils are using the method of rolling balls on a plate, through the patriotism of the Chinese people, and with the antiques plundered in the past, to defraud a large amount of wealth belonging to the Chinese, and I am worthy of ...... heart to do so."
At a London auction last month, a piece of blue and white porcelain that was supposed to be Guiguzi descending the mountain turned into another large pot of blue and white characters, which was auctioned off by an anonymous buyer for more than 10 million pounds, which was converted into RMB, as high as more than 200 million.
This has also set off the first auction of Chinese art in the international auction, for more than a month, the domestic rich have repeatedly shot, although they have auctioned a lot of precious Chinese cultural relics, but the price they have paid is also unimaginably high.
Zhuang Rui once talked to Uncle De about these things on the phone, and Uncle De, who has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, saw through the cattiness at a glance, and said bluntly that this is a game made by people from international auction houses, and it is based on the statement that Zhuang Rui has a ball in the plate just now.
"What do you mean?"
Zhuang Rui forgot that the Master Xu in front of him, let alone the chaos of the rivers and lakes, is not even a person in the antique shop, so he naturally doesn't know the meaning of the ball on the plate.
"Hehe, this is some of the methods in the eight gates of the rivers and lakes before the liberation, let me tell you about it......"
Zhuang Rui was fortunate to worship such a master as Uncle De, and he also knew a little about the rivers and lakes, the so-called rolling balls in the plate, understood literally, "beads" are pearls, which means precious.
The word "roll" is equivalent to the word "fried", and the rollball refers to the hype of this precious bead through some kind of packaging publicity, so that its market value is much higher than the value of the utensil itself, which is a bit like the practice of launching newcomers in the entertainment industry.
Of course, the hype here is a precious antique with a history of thousands of years.
And the word "on the plate" mentioned above refers to these precious antiques, which themselves are in the hands of those who speculate.
No matter how these things are fried, how high the price is, and what tricks can be fried, they are all under their control, just like taking a handful of pearls and throwing them into a high-mouth plate, no matter how you swing, the beads are rolling in the plate, which is called a ball on the plate.
And when a certain kind of hyped object has been sold at a sky-high price, those who master the utensils begin to release these things in the international market to absorb the buyer's money.
For example, in the past two months, there are international speculators in London, Tokyo, Germany, Berlin, Germany, including the auctions in Paris, France, in which Zhuang Rui participated.
Although the auction in Paris, France was ruined by Zhuang Rui, the other international auctions really heated up the ancient Chinese porcelain.
The first is the Yuan Qinghua, while hype, many so-called historical research experts abroad have given the conclusion that there are no more than 300 Yuan Qinghua in the world, and most of them are in foreign museums.
As soon as this news came out, many domestic self-proclaimed people with strong national self-esteem, patriotism and senseless vanity competed to make a move.
Uncle De once roughly counted that in just two or three months, those international speculators who have a large number of Chinese antiques in their hands have at least swept away no less than two billion dollars of wealth from the Chinese, and this is just the beginning.
Rich people play ***, most of them are playing face, this trend comes together, I am afraid that more people will participate in it, of course, there are also some people who really want to make some contributions to the return of national treasures, but their behavior, to a certain extent, fueled the arrogance of those international speculators.
According to Uncle De's estimates, this hot wind will take at least another two or three years to subside, and at that time, the price of these antiques will have a significant drop, and those so-called "*** families" can rationally look at antiques and investment.
"XC, now those foreigners are using this method to plunder the wealth belonging to the Chinese, but Tang Sancai has always been highly respected by foreign *** in the international market, and domestic collectors do not care very much.
That's why I came up with the idea of bringing your work to the international auction market, and foreign speculators can take money out of our pockets, so why can't we repay the favor in the other way?"
After Zhuang Rui said the above reasons, he looked at Xu Guoqing very sincerely, if he didn't get Xu Guoqing's consent, Zhuang Rui would not do it, after all, this is disrespectful to the owner of the work.
To be honest, Zhuang Rui is not short of money, and he didn't come up with this idea for money, it's really too much for those foreigners.
For example, the behavior of foreigners is equivalent to snatching something from your home, and then asking you to buy it back at a price several times or even more than ten times higher than this thing, which is simply robbing money, even the pirates of the Caribbean, and they are not so fucking ruthless!
After Xu Guoqing heard Zhuang Rui's words, he fell silent, he didn't expect that in the antique shop and the international auction house, there was such a bizarre thing, Xu Guoqing was just a person who imitated ancient porcelain because of his personal hobby, these things made his mind a little confused for a while.
"What if these things are bought by people in China?" Xu Guoqing suddenly asked a question.
Zhuang Rui pursed his lips when he heard this, and said: "Brother Xu, let us make this money, it's better than letting foreigners make it, and I will invest a large part of this money in your laboratory, if you can copy the porcelain of the five official kilns of the Song Dynasty, then I can break the situation of those speculators, so that they can no longer speculate on Chinese porcelain......
The reason why Zhuang Rui didn't say that all the funds he got would be used for Xu Guoqing's laboratory was because he also needed costs, and all the risks were borne by Zhuang Rui, so he had to leave some money to subsidize the museum, right?
"Okay, as long as you can harm foreign devils, I did this, Brother Zhuang, you only bought eight three-color figurines, and there are more than 20 left, I will go back and let Lao Yu hand it over to you, so you don't have to count the money......"
After thinking about it in his heart for a long time, Xu Guoqing finally nodded heavily and agreed to Zhuang Rui's approach, as long as he didn't harm his own people, what did he have to do with the life or death of foreign devils?
"Good!"
Zhuang Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, "Brother Xu, you can keep the 500,000 yuan for your sister-in-law and children first, and I will invest another 10 million RMB in your laboratory, you continue to study Cizhou porcelain, if you can succeed, then let those little *** people taste the power of Made in China!"
People are the most respected for the porcelain of Cizhou kiln, if it can really be fired successfully, Zhuang Rui is sure that he will sweep a lot of wealth in ***, and he will not have any psychological burden.
Zhuang Rui's words made Xu Guoqing, who was wooden, also laughed, and the anger of the little devil he suffered today was vented in laughter.
"By the way, Brother Xu, the matter of the laboratory is said to be invested by me, and no one will ask.
But the matter of selling these porcelains abroad can only be known to you and me, and you must not let a third person know, even the sister-in-law and children, and you can't let them know about it, because it involves ......."
Zhuang Rui spoke very seriously, he took a lot of risk to sell fake antiques abroad, and the chance of being found was also very high.
Because if the porcelain is accidentally broken, from the fracture, it is possible to distinguish the old porcelain and the new porcelain, although this possibility is small, but it is not absolutely impossible to happen, in case it is detected, it will definitely be investigated to the country.
Zhuang Rui's family is well guarded, but he is not afraid of the retaliation of those people, but Xu Guoqing is not good, in case someone is angry with him, it is tantamount to harming him.
The reason why Zhuang Rui didn't tell Li Dali and Yu Zhengjun about this is because of this reason, although these two people have many doors, they have a lot of contact, and they may not be able to keep it secret, Zhuang Rui doesn't want to plant two time bombs by his side.
As for how to get these items to foreign auction houses, Zhuang Rui already had an idea in his heart, and he was ready to use his private jet to transport the things that were going to enter foreign auction houses to Myanmar and let Hu Rong deal with them.
As we all know, from the Han and Tang dynasties, Myanmar was a subject country of China, and these artifacts have been passed down a lot, and the credibility of the objects obtained from the Burmese in foreign auctions will also be greatly improved, just like the early people thought that foreign antiques must be true.
With Hu Rong's power and connections in Myanmar, if he finds a random middleman, he can take these things to Hong Kong or a big auction house in Britain and the United States to carry out consignment auction business, and Zhuang Rui himself will never show up in this process.
In this way, even if these things are identified as fake, they will not be able to trace Zhuang Rui's head, and with Hu Rong's means, he can definitely wipe the head and tail clean.
However, Zhuang Rui still asked Xu Guoqing to keep it secret, after all, the foreigner's money ...... That's also money, if it gets out, Zhuang Rui's face in the international art market will be gone.
And if those domestic *** families buy the fakes sold by Zhuang Rui, I am afraid they will not be good.
Zhuang Rui is old and young, but he doesn't want to cause those troubles, so he simply starts to make things clear, if Xu Guoqing is not strict, he would rather not do this business.
"Okay, I know, I won't say anything about killing me......"
After Xu Guoqing realized the importance of confidentiality, he jokingly said the classic quotations of the fat man in the movie "Party A and Party B".
Xu Guoqing is usually a stuffy gourd, except for talking to his wife, he has nothing to communicate with his son, and then again, his wife is not interested in these things at all, and it is in vain to say it.
"Well, XCMG, in this laboratory, you use the land as a shareholder and occupy 40% of the shares, and I will invest 10 million, accounting for 60% of the shares, and the output value of these artifacts will be distributed according to this proportion in the future.
Well, in addition, if you withdraw 100,000 yuan from this 10 million yuan every month, it will be regarded as a salary, Brother Xu, what do you think?"
Brothers still have to settle accounts, Zhuang Rui is to standardize everything first, and when the time comes, it will not be clear, and it will involve the problem of money, and there are countless things where husband and wife turn against each other and brothers become enemies.
Xu Guoqing's broken factory, except for the money, everything else can be sold for rags, Zhuang Rui took out 10 million real money, as long as 60% of the shares, it is already very kind.
"Cheng, brother, I'm about to eat without your money, you say!"
Xu Guoqing has never had any concept of money, otherwise he would not have ruined more than 10 million family fortunes, Zhuang Rui gave him 200,000 living expenses every month, Xu Guoqing was already quite satisfied.
and Xu Guoqing talked about it until more than three o'clock in the evening, and Zhuang Rui drafted an agreement by hand before he began to fall asleep, and this sleep was particularly sweet, and at more than 11 o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by Peng Fei knocking on the door.
"Mayor Xue, why are you here, I was thinking of calling you to say goodbye, by the way, Peng Fei, what about XCMG?"
After Zhuang Rui went out, he found that the mayor of Shishi City was actually waiting outside the door, which surprised him a little, civil servants don't have to work?
Peng Fei replied: "Brother Zhuang, XCMG said that he was busy rebuilding the laboratory, so go back first and call you......"
"Mr. Zhuang, I'm here to inform you of the results of yesterday's handling of the matter of XCMG......
Mayor Xue also knows a lot of people in Beijing, after inquiring about Zhuang Rui's origin yesterday, he held a mayor's meeting early this morning, he wanted to give Zhuang Rui a satisfactory answer before Zhuang Rui left.
