Chapter 310 Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin Statue
………… After listening to Uncle Zhong's introduction, Wang Zhang's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly reacted, and hurriedly took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said enthusiastically: "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to have such a big shop at such a young age, he is really young and promising!"
"Hehe, Mr. Wang praised me! I'm just relying on the budding shadow of my predecessors, it's not a good achievement!" In just over two months, Liu Dong's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the scenes that he hadn't heard much before are no longer very cold.
"Mr. Wang, please, let's talk upstairs!"
"Mr. Liu, please first!"
Noticing a hint of flattery on Wang Zhang's face, although Liu Dong knew that it was fake, he still had to admit in his heart that this person was very good at getting things done.
When they came to the second floor, the two of them sat down with tea, and Wang Zhang couldn't wait to open the package he was carrying, and then invited a statue of Yingqing Guanyin out from inside.
"Mr. Wang, can I take a look?" The statue of Guanyin in Wang Zhang's hand is indeed very good, and at first glance, it is indeed as Uncle Zhong said before, the characteristics of a qiē are in line with the characteristics of Yingqing in the Song and Yuan dynasties, but it is a little newer, the condition is very intact, and there is no trace of artificial aging.
"Mr. Liu, just look at it!" said Wang Zhang, holding the Guanyin statue in both hands and handing it to Liu Dong.
Seeing this, Liu Dong did not reach out to pick it up, but smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Wang has not been in the antique shop for a long time!"
Although there was no sarcasm in Liu Dong's words. But Wang Zhang also suddenly remembered some experiences during this time. His face turned red at the moment. Hurriedly put the statue of Guanyin on the table, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "As Mr. Liu said, I really don't have much time to go into the antique shop. ”
In fact, Wang Zhang is not an antique person at all. Naturally, he doesn't understand the rules of antiques, and others see that he is not a person in the industry, and he is trying to lower the price. There is not a single one that exceeds fifty thousand.
This loss is too much, and naturally there are snacks. However, because I was in a hurry to use the money, I forgot the previous lesson just now.
But at this time, Liu Dong's eyes were no longer on this Mr. Wang.
Holding the statue of Guanyin, Liu Dong did not come up and used the relics Yuanguang, and followed Li Lao to study porcelain identification for more than two months, coupled with his almost unforgettable ability, Liu Dong's porcelain identification has a very high level at this moment.
At this moment, the Guanyin statue in Liu Dong's hand is slender and long, with a height of about forty-five centimeters. The Bodhisattva wears a jewel on his head and sits with his hands on his knees. On both sides of the throne stood the dragon girl and the boy of good fortune. The porcelain of the Guanyin statue is very thin, the glaze is white and green, the light is lit from the bottom, the inside and outside are translucent, it is obvious that the porcelain of the Guanyin statue is very good, and the level of firing is very high.
There is no doubt that the official kiln should be able to achieve this level of firing, but the firing of this kind of celadon was very much in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and there were many in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It can be said that the firing range of Yingqing is very wide, and the value of this porcelain is to look at its firing process at the same time.
However, this was somewhat beyond Liu Dong's appraisal level, so he simply used the relics Yuanguang.
Soon, the statue of Guanyin is rich and nine feet upward, with a hint of red brilliance in the white, showing that this Yingqing Guanyin is like a genuine official kiln boutique of the Yuan Dynasty.
Seeing this, Liu Dong already had the determination to buy this precious Yuan Dynasty Yingqing in his heart. You must know that Li Lao's treasure house does not have a single Yuan Dynasty official kiln shadow celadon. What's even more rare is that this piece is so big.
"Mr. Wang, how much is this porcelain going to sell for?" asked Liu Dong after a slight ponder.
"500,000!" Wang Zhang's words were uncertain, at the beginning he was not selling 600,000, but after touching the wall more than a dozen times, Wang Zhang was no longer confident in selling 600,000. In addition, his current company is in urgent need of funds, so even if he sells it for 500,000 yuan, he feels that it is worth it.
"500,000?" Liu Dong showed a hint of surprise on his face, Uncle Zhong told him that it was 600,000.
"If you think it's high, 450,000 is fine, but no matter how low it is, I won't buy it, if it weren't for the company's urgent need for money turnover, I wouldn't sell it at this price. ”
Seeing that Wang Zhang misunderstood what he meant, Liu Dong didn't explain much, the two were not related, and they were able to win this Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin statue at a lower price, Liu Dong was naturally willing.
In the end, the two bargained, and this precious piece of Yuan Dynasty porcelain was finally sold for 400,000 yuan.
After signing the sales contract, Liu Dong asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you should not be from the industry, so how did this porcelain get into your hands?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhang smiled bitterly, "Speaking of which, I am also unlucky, I am in the building materials business, and the last time I went to a customer to collect the accounts, he did not manage well and went bankrupt." As a result, the 600,000 yuan owed to me was also missing, and finally used this Guanyin statue to offset the account, according to him, this is handed down by his ancestors in the family, what is the Yuan Dynasty Yingqing, but I don't understand this. If he hadn't had any money, I wouldn't have agreed to the deal. ”
"But fortunately, the result is not bad, with this 400,000, it is much better than 600,000 all losses, with this money, my company's turnover funds are also available!"
"Boss Liu, there is still something in my company, so I won't stay any longer!" After getting the money, Wang Zhangsheng was afraid that Liu Dong would regret it later, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
And after Liu Dong asked the guy to send Wang Zhang, he looked at the Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin statue on the table, and his face showed joy.
Wang Zhang didn't know how to collect antiques, so he didn't know the value of this Guanyin statue. However, Liu Dong understood in his heart that according to the auction houses such as Christie's and Sotheby's that he obtained from Li Lao, the transaction records of previous auctions of Chinese porcelain. Sotheby's once auctioned such a statue of Guanyin in the Yuan Dynasty in Hong Kong in Hong Kong in 87 years, and the auction price at that time was 3.3 million Hong Kong dollars.
However, the height in Liu Dong's hand is only forty-five centimeters now, which is much smaller than the sixty-seven centimeters in others.
However, more than ten years have passed now, considering the factor of inflation, the statue of Guanyin in the Yuan Dynasty in Liu Dong's hand is now tens of millions. Compared with his efforts, Liu Dong picked up a big leak this time.
"Dongjia, have you bought something?" Seeing Liu Dong go downstairs with the statue of Guanyin, Uncle Zhong sat at the counter and asked with a smile.
"Well, I saw it, it is indeed a good thing of the Yuan Dynasty, this time it is a leak!" After saying with a smile on his face, Liu Dong continued, "Uncle Zhong, you are busy first, I'll go to the back and put this thing away!"
Nodding, looking at Liu Dong's back disappearing around the corner, Uncle Zhong shook his head with a smile, although he didn't know that Liu Dong's appraisal level was definitely not as good as Li Lao, but it was a good thing to have such a person who likes antique collections to inherit the Agarwood Pavilion. Moreover, Liu Dong is a good person, he respects him, he is also stable, and Uncle Zhong is optimistic about his future.
When he came to the original Li Lao's study, Liu Dong did not put the Guanyin statue back in the collection room, but directly received it in his mustard seed space. In comparison, there is no safer place than in the mustard space.
Next, Liu Dong had nothing to do, so he simply took down some of the books about antique appreciation collected by Li Lao in the study and continued to read.
The afternoon that followed passed quickly.
In the evening, Liu Dong was a little surprised, but unexpectedly received a call that he had been waiting for for a long time.
"Hey, is it Mr. Liu Dong?" There was some awkward Mandarin on the phone, and Liu Dong frowned when he heard it. However, the caller ID on the phone had already made him understand the identity of this person.
"Mr. Wichai, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Hehe, Mr. Liu, Myanmar and China's Dongshan Province are thousands of miles apart, and it took me a lot of time to get this batch of rough stones together before the end of the month. ”
"Oh, yes, I was wrong about Mr. Wichai when I said that!" Liu Dong laughed.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is too polite!" After a pause, he said: "Mr. Liu, there are a lot of rough stones this time, I wonder if Mr. Liu can eat it?"
"How many, how many?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"More than 3,000 rough stones, worth 150 million according to the price we said at the beginning!" said Vichai Sawan Susi with a strange calmness.
At the beginning, he had seen with his own eyes how Liu Dong took nearly 300 million cash from the hands of powerful Korean jewelry, so after signing a cooperation agreement with Liu Dong, he shipped 150 million worth of jadeite rough stones at once, if it weren't for the tight time, I believe there would be more.
"150 million, more than 3,000 rough stones, it's not much, it's okay!" Liu Dong's indifferent tone made Weichai Sawan Suxi choke for a moment.
150 million is not much, this is nearly half of Liu Dong's cash, of course, he also knows that Liu Dong gambled a lot of valuable jadeite, but he also knows that Liu Dong has not sold a piece of these jadeite, so according to his original estimate, 100 million has approached the bottom line in Liu Dong's heart. But listening to Liu Dong's tone now, it is obviously very different from his original estimate.
"So, Mr. Liu still wants more rough stones?" asked Wichai Sawan Susi with a hint of disbelief and some excitement in his words.
"Of course, but I want more, but I can't tell you on the phone for a while, Mr. Wichai, when will it arrive?"
"It's been three days since the ship left the magic capital, and there are about two days left to reach Qingdao!" Vichai Sawan Susi's tone was already unconsciously carrying a hint of urgency.
For him, the more jade rough Liu Dong buys, the more money he makes. How could he not want this kind of business!(To be continued......)
