Chapter 11: The Man Who Went to Elementary School
The beautiful boss walked into the store with Prada's limited edition bag, greeted the female employees, and then looked at Xia Yu, who had clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, young and handsome, and a lofty spirit. When she saw Xia Yu, a young man, she looked very surprised.
Xia Yu didn't expect that the owner of the antique shop would be a superb royal sister, and she also didn't expect that the customer who came to sell blue and white porcelain would be a hairy boy. But these are secondary, she is in business, as long as the things in Xia Yu's hands are treasures, then it will be fine.
The beautiful boss walked towards Xia Yu, came to him, and took the initiative to stretch out her slender jade hand and smile: "Hello, I am the boss here, Jiang Hong, what is the name of Mr.?" ”
"Don't be surnamed Xia, Xia Yu!" Xia Yu said with a smile and shook his hand.
In this fucking summer, it's like a steamer outside, and it's hot enough to kill people. However, this Jiang Hong's jade hand is extremely cool, as smooth and delicate as jade fat, and it feels very good.
After shaking hands, Jiang Hong smiled and said, "Sir, please inside." ”
Xia Yu nodded, carried the briefcase, and followed Jiang Hong to the back of the hall.
Coming to a simple and elegant office, Jiang Hong asked Xia Yu to sit down, at this time, the female employee brought two cups of tea, put them down and left, and closed the door by the way.
Jiang Hong sat at the desk, smiled and said to Xia Yu, "Sir, let me see something!" ”
Xia Yu snorted, took out the blue and white plate from the briefcase just now, and then handed it to Jiang Hong.
Jiang Hong turned on the lamp on the desk, then took it with both hands, picked up a magnifying glass, and began to look carefully!
Seeing Jiang Hong's serious appearance, Xia Yu was also too drunk.
The royal sister who pounds antiques is really rare, and the key is that she is so beautiful.
Xia Yu felt that after he got the adventure, it was simply good luck, and he met one after another, all of them were the best beauties.
Could it be that he committed a peach blossom?
Or does this dirty and decadent society have to cultivate Xia Yu, a kind and honest person, into a scumbag?
If that's the case, then Xia Yu doesn't mind eliminating harm for the people at all, and conquering these beauties who have brought disaster to the country and the people!
As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?
So, come on, I'm not too much, quack!
"This is the blue and white light depiction of the clouds and cranes and nine peach pattern plates made in the Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty, although it is fired in a private kiln, it is also very rare." Jiang Hong commented.
Jiang Hong's words brought Xia Yu, who was obscene, back to reality, sighed, and then said: "Boss Jiang is really good eyesight!" ”
Jiang Hong smiled slightly, and then said: "Although the Qing Yongzheng period was short, but the economic development, social stability, the government's financial resources, the domestic and foreign markets are active, the porcelain-making process is advancing by leaps and bounds, on the basis of inheriting the porcelain-making technology of the Kangxi Dynasty, there are many innovations, changes and improvements, not only many varieties, a wide range of themes, diverse shapes, and the selection and processing of raw materials are also more particular than before. Although blue and white porcelain was not the mainstream product of the official kiln in the Yongzheng period, its exquisite quality, rich variety of colors and colors, and superb artistic standards were incomparable to other dynasties in the Qing Dynasty. The blue and white porcelain of the Yongzheng period, regardless of shape and decoration, can be summed up by the word "show", which is very different from the upright and vigorous style of Kangxi's blue and white porcelain, but replaced by a soft and handsome style. ”
After listening to Jiang Hong's story, Xia Yu appreciated this woman even more.
What is it called?
This is called the coexistence of wisdom and beauty, not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable. I just don't know if this Jiang Hong has a boyfriend, how old he is this year, if he doesn't have a boyfriend, then Xia Yu doesn't mind pursuing her, or using some despicable and shameless means, and then let Jiang Hong willingly kneel and lick him, and finally fall under his big pants.
Alas, this kind of thing is beautiful just thinking about it!
Xia Yu pretended to understand very well, nodded slightly, and then took a sip of the teacup.
Jiang Hong continued: "There is a Yongzheng blue and white cloud crane plate in the collection of the National Palace in Taipei, which is similar to the painting of this plate, all of which are nine peaches and eight cranes, and the ornamental layout is the same, so it should be made at the same time. The heart of the bowl is painted with a peach tree, and there are nine peaches in the fruit. The outer wall is painted with seawater and Jiangya, and eight cranes fly among the auspicious clouds, with different postures, beautiful and chic. The blue and white flowers are elegant and pleasant, the painting is delicate and vivid, and it is used for the birthday celebration of the Yongzheng Dynasty. ”
"Some time ago, I saw a similar blue and white plate at a private auction in Hong Kong, but the diameter of that plate is only 12.3 centimeters, but you, I measured it just now, the diameter is 21.2 centimeters, which is twice as large, which means that the price will be doubled."
Xia Yuqiang endured the excitement in his heart and asked calmly, "What is Boss Jiang's valuation?" ”
Jiang Hong smiled slightly, put down the blue and white plate, then took out a box of women's cigarettes from her bag, lit one and smoked it, looked at Xia Yu meaningfully, and then asked, "How old are you this year?" ”
Xia Yu was stunned, she didn't expect her to ask like this, and said that my brother is here to sell antiques, not to go on a blind date, why are you asking so much, is it interesting to me? If that's the case, then that's right, I'm also interested in you, so I just hit it off, and I'll make a direct appointment tonight!
“20!” Xia Yu replied truthfully.
"I look like it." Jiang Hong said with a smile.
Xia Yu was a little painful, and from Jiang Hong's eyes, he actually saw a trace of abuse.
"Can you tell me where you got this blue and white plate?" Jiang Hong continued to ask.
"Ancestral." Xia Yu said.
Jiang Hong sighed, and then asked, "Then what is your ideal price?" Say it, I'll listen. ”
"I don't know much about this, you can look at the valuation, as long as you don't fool me, it's pretty much fine." Xia Yu said.
"The price I can give is 500,000!" Jiang Hong said.
"500,000!?" Xia Yu was surprised, then got up, picked up the blue and white plate on the desk, turned around and left.
This time it was Jiang Hong's turn to be stunned, so he hurriedly said, "Please stay!" ”
Xia Yu turned around, looked at Jiang Hong, who was as beautiful as a flower, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Little brother, the price is negotiable, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jiang Hong asked.
Xia Yu smiled, and then said: "I'm a person who went to elementary school, you can't fool me!" ”
Jiang Hong was amused when she heard this, and then said, "You are so cute, sit down, let's talk again." ”
In fact, Xia Yu really didn't want to leave, mainly because she was greedy for this Jiang Hong's beauty, since she still wanted to talk, Xia Yu naturally wouldn't mind, so she walked over and sat down again, and also lit a cigarette and smoked.
Jiang Hong thought that Xia Yu was young and didn't understand the market, so she wanted to fool Xia Yu at a relatively low price, who knew that this guy was still a man who went to elementary school, and she also wanted to get this plate, but she had no choice but to increase the price.
"I can get up to 900,000, and I dare to assure you that there will be no higher in the entire antique city. If it weren't for my soft spot for blue and white porcelain, I wouldn't have paid such a high price. Jiang Hong said.
900,000!
This amount has exceeded Xia Yu's expectations, and at this moment, his heart is not to mention how excited. You know, he has more than 20 pieces of such blue and white porcelain, as well as eight pieces of bronze and two pieces of jade. Moreover, the blue and white plate he took out was still a relatively small object, and there were several relatively large vases, which were more exquisite than this. A broken plate can be sold for 900,000, and those big vases are even more terrifying.
Xia Yu stared at Jiang Hong's bright eyes, and could see that she was not lying.
So, Xia Yu flicked the cigarette ash and said, "I want 1 million!" ”
Jiang Hong frowned slightly after hearing this, and then said: "Little brother, I really didn't lie to you, 900,000 is already a high price, if you insist on asking for 1 million, then there is no need to talk about it." ”
"I want 1 million, and there's a reason." Xia Yu said meaningfully.
"What reason?" Jiang Hong asked.
Xia Yu smiled, and then took out two small and delicate porcelain cups from his briefcase. These two porcelain cups are only 6 centimeters high, and they are painted with two butterflies fluttering among the flowers and plants of the mountains, rocks, and flowers, which look very light and delicate.
As a result, Jiang Hong saw these two porcelain cups and stood up suddenly. Such a sudden move scared Xia Yu a lot, and he said in his heart that it was just two broken cups, so he was so excited.
"This is the Doucai Sanqiu Cup!" Jiang Hong exclaimed in disbelief, and then immediately picked up one and looked at it carefully.
"Doucai Sanqiu Cup? Is it worth it? Xia Yu said secretly in his heart, but looking at Jiang Hong's appearance, it should be very valuable.
Jiang Hong looked at all the two porcelain cups, laughed excitedly, and then said: "It's really a peerless treasure, and it's a pair!" ”
This temperamental beauty smiled a little out of shape, which made Xia Yudan hurt, coughed lightly, and then asked, "How much are these two broken cups worth?" ”
"Broken cup? Do you know what it is? Jiang Hong asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it just the cup that ancient people used to drink tea?" Xia Yu said.
Jiang Hong said: "That's right, this is indeed a cup for the ancients to drink tea, but this is Doucai." Doucai porcelain was created and fired in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a decorative variety that combines underglaze color (blue and white) and overglaze color. Doucai is pre-fired at a high temperature (1300 °C) on the underglaze blue and white porcelain, with mineral pigments for a second time, to fill the gap left by the blue and white pattern and paint the space in the blue and white contour line, and then into the small kiln again through low temperature (800 °C) baking. The people of the Ming Dynasty regarded Chenghua Doucai as a treasure, and the Qing Dynasty people regarded Chenghua Doucai as an arch, and the emperor and the upper echelons of the nobility especially cherished it. This Doucai porcelain is one of the most precious types of porcelain, and the Palace Museum treasures a Ming Chenghua Doucai Sanqiu Cup, as well as a slightly larger Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup. And you are a couple, if you get it at auction, the reserve price will be tens of millions! ”
"Holy shit, how many tens of millions is this broken cup?" Xia Yu was shocked, and he was not calm at all.
"What is treasured in the Forbidden City, it is all at the level of national treasures, your pair of Doucai Sanqiu Cups is more exquisite than the one in the Forbidden City Museum, because your pair is perfect, it is the best of the best!" Jiang Hong said excitedly.
