It turned out that there was a huge Chinese screen in Zeng Gong's living room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Charlie's dog-like nose smelled a faint fragrance when he first entered the living room, agarwood, this is definitely agarwood, Charlie can be sure, he is quite confident in his nose, looking for the roots, he found that the fragrance came from the huge screen placed in the room.

How can so much agarwood be made into a screen, Charlie can't wait to dismantle it and transport it to his company to make perfume.

"Mr. Charlie, do you like this screen too?" Zeng Gong looked at Charlie's excited appearance, thinking that he was interested in his screen, and said with a happy face.

"Yes, of course I did. Charlie said through gritted teeth. "I wonder if Mr. Zeng can cut his love and sell the screen to me?"

"Do you want this screen?" Zeng Gong looked at Charlie in amazement, but the traditional craftsmanship of China, although it is similar to the popular entrance in foreign countries, the difference is big.

The screen appeared in the Zhou Dynasty 3,000 years ago as a special utensil for the Son of Heaven as a symbol of fame and power. After continuous evolution, the screen has been used as a windproof, partition, and concealment, and has the effect of embellishing the environment and beautifying the space, so it has endured to this day and derived a variety of expressions. Today's screens are mainly divided into enclosed screens, seat screens, hanging screens, table screens and other forms, among which large screens can show that noble momentum, and are the first choice for living rooms, halls, conference rooms and offices. It can be freely placed and moved according to needs, and the indoor environment reflects each other, complements each other, and becomes an inseparable whole of home decoration, presenting a harmonious beauty and quiet beauty. In the past, the screen mainly played the role of separating the space, but now more emphasis is placed on the decorative side of the screen, which not only needs to create the effect of "separation but not separation", but also emphasizes its own artistic effect. It integrates practicality and appreciation, has both practical value, and gives the screen a new aesthetic connotation, and is definitely a handicraft boutique with traditional national characteristics.

"This..." Zeng Gong hesitated, not that he wanted to sell this screen, but that this screen was too expensive to afford with Charlie's worth, even if he was a member of Guerlain's lineage, but he refused for fear that he would not be able to save face.

"What, Mr. Zeng is afraid that I can't afford it?" Charlie looked at Zeng Gong's face a little funny, and directly said his thoughts.

"Okay, if Mr. Charlie wants to buy it, I'll give you a cheaper, how about 100 million dollars?" Zeng Gong saw Charlie's confident appearance, and he really couldn't bear to hit him.

"How much?" Charlie took a few steps back in fright, looking at Zeng Gong incredulously.

"100 million dollars. Zeng Gong said seriously, in fact, in his heart, he still gave Charlie a twenty percent discount, this twelve-screen screen is a priceless treasure, even if Charlie has so much money, he will never sell it.

"100 million dollars?" Charlie looked at Zeng Gong incredulously with his mouth open as if he had an ostrich egg in his mouth.

"That's right, it's 100 million dollars, if you want to buy it alone, I'm really sorry, this screen doesn't just sell. Zeng Gong seemed to understand Charlie's thoughts.

"Mr. Zeng, your screen is not worth that much even if it is made of platinum. Tony asked in surprise, he could tell that Zeng Gong was serious.

"Hehe, let me tell you Mr. Tony, this screen itself is a priceless treasure, not to mention 100 million dollars when you like it, even 200 million dollars are also rushing. Zeng Gong said with a sneer.

"Why don't you believe it?" Zeng Gong glanced at Tony's questioning expression, and then pointed to the first screen and said: "This is the Baibao inlay process, which is to selectively inlay a variety of processed precious materials on the same object, so as to achieve the purpose of highlighting the theme of the composition and strengthening the decorative effect. It is also known as the "weekly system". Using real jewelry stone and its various precious materials as a kind of lacquerware inlay, with gold and silver, precious stones, pearls, coral, jasper, jade, crystal, agate, tortoiseshell, car canal, lapis lazuli, green pine, luodian, ivory, beeswax, agarwood, carved into landscape figures, trees and towers, flower feathers, inlaid sandalwood lacquer. The large screens, tables, window partitions, bookshelves, and the small pen beds, tea sets, inkstones, and books are indescribable, and the method can be described as ingenious. ”

"This theme is used by a great poet in ancient China to write a poem "Red Cliff Fu" for the theme of shaping, 'the breeze is coming, the water waves are not prosperous', which is used, pearls, agate, red sapphire, jade, Hetian white jade, coral, tortoiseshell, emerald, pink diamond, amethyst, blue diamond, yellow diamond and so on, the whole body is made of Hainan agarwood splicing, which is also the most wanted by Mr. Charlie. Saying that, Zeng Gong also glanced at Charlie.

"The second fan does not need me to say, I believe you will also understand, this is China's jade finely carved, and is China's best seed material mutton fat white jade, mutton fat white jade is a gem-grade material in Hetian jade, is the best white jade in the pure color of white, with the best luster and texture, manifested as: warm and dense, transparent and pure, white and flawless, like clotted fat, hence the name. Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to mutton fat jade, and it is the best in jade and is very precious. It not only symbolizes the gentlemanly character of "benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity", but also symbolizes the secular emotions of "beauty, nobility, auspiciousness, gentleness and tranquility". In ancient times, only emperors and generals were qualified to wear high-quality white jade. The market price of mutton fat white jade in China is more than 2,000 US dollars per gram, and this carver is a top master carver, which doubles its own value, so there is no need to say much about this value. Zeng Gong pointed to the second screen carved from a whole piece of jade and said seriously.

"This third screen is even more remarkable, the process used in our China is called red, this is the top lacquer art, red is commonly known as carved lacquer in Beijing (the meaning is wider than red, yellow, black, color, etc. are also included), that is, with a shroud of silver Zhu, in the lacquer bone layer by layer accumulation, to a considerable thickness, and then with a knife to carve out the pattern. From the cross-section of the knife edge of the saffron pattern, the number of lacquer channels can sometimes be seen, but it is not easy to count accurately. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were fewer thin meats and more than 50 or 60 or even more than 100 roads. On the other hand, the thickness of each lacquer layer is also different from each vessel, so the thickness of the ancient red object is very inconsistent. Ming Dynasty carved lacquer, especially the early Ming carved lacquer, the pattern is still fat and full, and the paint layer is thin can not be carved. The paint layer is thick, labor-intensive and material-intensive, and it is impossible to do this with products that are sold quickly. The color of red paint is dark red and nearly purple, there is red, and there is light color and slightly yellow, and the color is pure and bright. As for the quality of the knife work, the difference is even greater. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort to make a red even a master, and each piece is priceless, not to mention this large screen, and its main body is made of gold. (To be continued.) )
