Chapter 38: The Misunderstanding of Zhou Study

The porcelain compartment is very large, with a space of tens of square meters, and six rows of shelves are placed, all of which are exquisite porcelain, adding up to hundreds of pieces.

Li Rui quickly scanned it, and it was all genuine, and the quality was not bad.

Thinking about it, it is also relieved that the things in the cultural relics store were purchased from the private sector in the sixties and seventies, and they have been identified by many experts, so it is impossible to be fake. Moreover, this is the inner cabinet inventory, which is a higher grade screened from many antiques, and it is impossible to have fakes.

It's a pity.

There are few pieces of porcelain in the compartment that Li Rui can't understand, which means that the vast majority of the porcelain here is from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Zhou Xuexue looked at the container of ancient coins for a while, then shook his head lightly and left, most of the coins have collections, a few are interested, and the price is unacceptable, go to the antique street to find it patiently, he believes that he can find the same good things, but it takes more time.

"Is there anything that catches the eye?" asked Zhou Xuexue as he left the ancient coin container and came to the porcelain compartment.

"Brother Zhou. The quality of porcelain here is very good, but most of them are from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Li Rui said with a little regret.

"Isn't it very good that you happen to specialize in the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China? The porcelain of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China has a lot of stock in the world, so it can be put out for sale, and the stock of porcelain from other dynasties is much smaller, and it is relatively precious, who dares to release it and sell it on a large scale. Zhou Xuexue explained with a smile.

"That's right. ”

Li Rui smiled and nodded.

"If you don't have anything to satisfy here, you can go to the next room to continue looking, and there are two compartments with porcelain. Zhou Xue reminded.

"So many!" Li Rui was shocked, the three compartments, the total number is estimated to be thousands of pieces of porcelain, and the value of this batch of porcelain in twenty years will be several hundred million. Combined with the other antiques in the store, the value is immeasurable, and it is simply a treasure trove.

"Where is this? When you see the inventory in the antiquities store, you will understand what it means to be overstocked and piled up. This is only the cultural relics store in Shenzhen, and the inventory of the provincial cultural relics store in Guangzhou is even more terrifying, and the warehouses that are not enough are directly stacked in the open air. ”

Not enough warehouses?

Stacked in the open?

Li Rui was dumbfounded when he heard this, these are all precious antiques, not garbage...... He was a little suspicious that something was wrong with his ears.

Alas.

Looking at Li Rui's expression of disbelief, Zhou Xuexue sighed and did not excuse himself. As a cultural relics research and appraisal worker, I am very ashamed to face this situation. He has written many joint letters to his superiors to reflect the situation, but it has been lost in the sea and there is no follow-up.

I couldn't understand it at first, but then I understood.

No money!

Even if you have money, you have to invest it in economic construction, and few people would agree with investing limited and precious funds in the protection of antiques.

It's not that no one understands the importance of protecting cultural relics, it's just that the funds are limited and the heart is weak. Helpless, I can only let each place find a way to solve it by itself, and I can only resign myself to fate!

"Brother Zhou, let's go next door and have a look. Zhou Xuexue's mood was a little low, and Li Rui realized that this topic was a little heavy for a cultural relics worker, so he didn't continue with interest.

"Don't see anything you like?"

The depression of Zhou Xuexue came and went quickly, and the smile on his face returned in the blink of an eye.

"Most of them are porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and there is a significant gap between them and the peak works of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, and the collection value is not very large. ”

Zhou Xuexue nodded lightly, and did not say much, his own research on porcelain only stayed at the surface.

……

The second porcelain compartment is similar to the previous furnishings, with little change. The only difference is that the furnishings are different.

Li Rui walked slowly in the cubicle, looking at each piece of porcelain, more than twenty minutes passed without feeling much, and after he woke up, he still had a feeling of unfinished business. Compared to the blandness of the previous room, there were so many surprises found here that he couldn't believe it.

"Brother Zhou, are you sure this is also the porcelain of the inner cabinet?" Li Rui asked nervously, he was afraid that he would enter the wrong place, and in the end he ended up rejoicing.

"Of course, it's the inner cabinet, and the things that come out on the second floor are all internal cabinet items. Zhou Xuexue replied affirmatively, and then asked with a smile on his face, "Do you see something you like?"

"Hmm. ”

Li Rui nodded, without the slightest idea of concealment.

"Pick out which one you like. However, the things in the cultural relics store are expensive, and there is no room for bargaining, so you have to be mentally prepared for heavy bleeding. Zhou Xue said.

"Understood. ”

Li Rui hurriedly smiled.

How expensive can the 90-year-old cultural relics store be, but the price is higher than that in the private market.

In Li Rui's eyesight, it is the price of cabbage, and if it is collected for one or two decades, it can at least increase in value dozens of times, and the value of a few high-quality products may skyrocket hundreds or thousands of times.

So.

Now that Li Rui spends a little more money, he will also make a lot of money.

Li Rui rushed into the shelves and began to choose his favorite porcelain antiques, of course, they were all top-value boutiques, and ordinary goods were not eye-catching.

"Qianlong tea foam glaze hexagonal ear bottle, bought. In 2010, Christie's Hong Kong autumn auction sold for HK$7.8 million. ”

In 2015, one appeared at Sotheby's New York Spring Auction, and the price was as high as $1.2 million. ”

"Kangxi colorful Zhaojun out of the Saitu bowl pair, must not let go. Twenty years later, it would be worth more than 10 million yuan. ”

"Qianlong Jindi pastel entwined flower pattern plum vase, very exquisite, buy. I didn't think of a similar transaction price, but the price will not be low. ”

In 2016, Sotheby's Hong Kong Spring Auction sold for HK$1.625 million. ”

"Yongzheng kiln glaze Ruyi ear string pattern respect, rare boutique, buy. In 2015, Poly auctioned a similar old collection of the RB collector, and the transaction price was 5.6 million yuan. ”

"A pair of Kangxi ink color landscape picture bowls, buy ......"

"Yongzheng sweet white glazed chrysanthemum petal plate, Yongzheng white glaze flower pattern plate, Kangxi blue and white poetry pen holder, Qianlong blue and white eight auspicious moon bottle......"

……

……

Li Rui constantly took down pieces of fine porcelain from the shelves and placed them on the ground. At first, Zhou Xue didn't care, but soon noticed the abnormality.

"Li Rui, you, you won't tell me that you have to buy all of this, right?" Zhou Xuexue swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and looked at Li Rui in dismay.

"Yes, yes. ”

Li Rui replied affirmatively, and after putting down two pieces of glazed porcelain in the third color of the Qing Dynasty, he rushed into the shelves again.

Forehead.

Zhou Xuexue looked at this scene in astonishment, Rao is well-informed, it is still the first time to encounter this situation, and the local tyrant buyers in Hong Kong are not so crazy.

After Li Rui returned with the porcelain, Zhou Xuexue hurriedly stopped him and said in surprise: "Li Rui, you are honest, did you buy the collection yourself or did you buy it for others?"

Li Rui replied: "Of course it's my own collection!"

"Li Rui, Liu Lao admires you very much, the master introduced to you will not be simple, your future is bright, don't go the wrong way with a thought. If you buy antiques for foreign guests for money, they will not forgive you, and I will not forgive you. Zhou Xuexue looked suspicious and warned solemnly.

Anyone will doubt it, the antiques in this place are worth a lot of money, and his salary can't hold up for a few years. Li Rui is only a teenager, and he has so much money to play collecting?
