Chapter 108: The Bottom of the Wa Folk is Detailed
"Since Mr. Kono said that I have a collection of poems on hand, why don't you guess that it is a complete set first?" Tang Yi thought to himself, since he knew so much, he simply put two sentences.
"Whether it is Shen Gongya's engraving or Huang Rujia's engraving, if you have a complete set at hand, I'm afraid it will be a national treasure, and Boss Tang estimates that if you don't have time to make a move, you will be targeted by the relevant departments of your country." Kono laughed indifferently. It seems that he really understands that the two Song Dynasty engravings actually say that the score is not bad.
"Mr. Kono, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, we are in China, and there is a law and a degree." Tang Yi responded, "If it is an ancestral thing, it is privately owned, and these do not exist." β
Tang Yi is right, this antique trade, stealing, robbing, unearthed, and smuggling and trafficking, is considered illegal. When he said it, he kept thinking about these two volumes of poetry, which came from the mansion gate, and were typical of the orderly inheritance.
"Boss Tang, let's stop beating around the bush, when we meet, we can talk about the price. Even if the matter of the copper incense burner is yellow, if this thing is done, everyone will be happy. Konohei seemed to have heard that Tang Yi was talking a clichΓ©, and he didn't argue, and went straight to the point.
"It's really Mr. Dongguo's wood carving, if there is a Song Dynasty carving, where can I live in this small shop." Mr. Kono, if it's okay, I'll hang up first. Tang Yi also wanted to end.
"Well, you can think about it. Get in touch again. Kono Ping said, but he didn't even be verbose, and hung up the phone directly. This person is indeed very shrewd, and never does useless work, and it is useless to talk more at this time, and he does not procrastinate.
Seeing that Tang Yi hung up the phone, Mao Zhu stepped forward and said, "Blame me for this, I shouldn't shout along the way." Unexpectedly, with a sentence of Mr. Donglai, he would be able to pull out so much. β
"I also underestimate this Japanese people. He must not believe what I said about Mr. Dongguo now. Tang Yi knocked lightly on the table, "I see, I have to inquire about the details of this Japanese people." β
"Huh?" Mao Yi glanced up at Tang Yi.
"Tomorrow, bring these two volumes of poetry and visit Qin Lao and Fang Lao separately." Tang Yi said slowly.
"Good. Listen to what you mean, do you want to go to Qin Lao first? Mao asked.
"Yes, Qin Lao has been involved in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and there is also an overseas collection department in the Pangu Hall, so he may know a lot about this Japanese people." Tang Yi paused and said, "Tomorrow will be the day when the store is closed to prevent Konohira from coming uninvited." β
That night, Tang Yi talked to Qin Lao and Fang Lao on the phone, and made an appointment to see Qin Lao in the morning and Fang Lao in the afternoon.
Nothing was said all night. The next morning, Tang Yi and Mao Chai took the brocade box and went to Qin Lao's "Cave Heaven and Blessed Land".
After some greetings, the guest and the host sat down, and this thing naturally wanted to let Qin Lao pass the purpose first. This is actually a gift, but this gift is not a gift, but a gift at a glance, and with this gift, there is a reason to ask Kono Pinglai.
"It's a rare genuine product!" After reading a collection of poems, Qin Lao picked up another volume, "This Song Dynasty engraving book is made of hemp paper or leather paper, which also lays the foundation for being preserved to this day." Although this font is printed, but the ink quality is excellent, and does not lose the style of calligraphy, imitation Song imitation Song, until today, this printing font is still highly respected for the Song version! β
"Thank you, Old Qin, for your advice!" Tang Yi said on the side.
"Okay, it's not that I don't know your level, you're just selling the old man's favor, let me appreciate it, is it possible that you really came to me for identification?" Qin Lao waved his hand and smiled, "In a few days, you can take a look at the autumn auction preview of Pangu Hall." β
"Is that the porcelain auction of the Qing Dynasty you are talking about? Isn't it until September? Tang Yi asked.
"The autumn auction is in September, but it's normal for the preview to be a month in advance, so you need to leave time for sellers to think and raise funds! As for the lots, they are mainly the official kilns of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, but it is not impossible to add others. Qin Lao said with a smile.
Tang Yi smiled, hesitated, and still didn't say anything about the fact that he hadn't actually won these two volumes of poetry yet.
"By the way, Elder Qin, have you heard of the Tokyo Historical Museum?" Tang Yi saw that Qin Lao had finished admiring the poetry collection, and asked.
"Huh?" Qin Lao glanced at Tang Yi, "Could it be that it is not a big business for Ge Baoduo, and he went overseas so quickly?" β
"That's not it, a few days ago, a Japanese customer came to my store and left a business card with the Tokyo Historical Museum printed on it." Tang Yi explained.
"Oh? Who is it? People from the Kono family? Qin Lao immediately said.
"That's right, it's Konodaira."
"Did he buy you anything?"
"He took a fancy to my Chongzhen sin copper incense burner, but I said that my friend took it and didn't sell it to him."
Qin Lao nodded, and didn't ask "I said my friend took it" if it was really taken or an excuse, and then said, "This Tokyo Historical Museum is a private museum and an ancient art company. The president's name is Taro Kono, and this Kono Taira is his son. β
"It seems that Old Qin, you have dealt with this Tokyo Historical Museum? This Kono Taro doesn't seem to be at a low level. Tang Yi hurriedly asked, thinking to himself, Kono Ping admired his father very much, and he could easily take out something like the Wanli blue and white jar, the level can be imagined.
Although Taro Kono is a native of the Japanese country, he is well versed in Chinese history and has a deep knowledge of antiques. I received a Kangxi blue and white general jar from him. This Tokyo Historical Museum has a deep background, and it is said that Taro Kono is related to people from the Japanese Imperial Family. Qin Lao said.
"In this way, this Konohira is also a Chinese expert. Why didn't he stay in Yanjing, but stayed in Shanzhou? As soon as Tang Yi saw that Qin Lao understood so well, he simply threw out all his questions.
"Although Shanzhou is not as good as Yanjing, it has a deep culture, convenient transportation, and is also a place where antiques gather. Another point is that the consul general of the Japanese Consulate General in Sanshu has a close relationship with Taro Kono. Qin Lao introduced.
"Oh!" Tang Yi nodded.
Qin Lao instructed again: "Although in our Huaxia, they can't afford to set off any big storms, but if you deal with the people of the Kono family, it is best to be more careful, after all, they are not ordinary Japanese people." β
"This Konohira's level is really not ordinary, he seems to know a lot, he heard Mao Zhu say 'Mr. Donglai' on the phone, and as a result, he guessed that I had a collection of poems, and said that he could pay a lot of money. I prevaricated and said he had misheard. Tang Yi said this again.
"These two volumes of poetry, as well as the copper incense burner, are indeed not suitable for flowing out of the country." Qin Lao's expression was solemn, and he unconsciously picked up the poetry collection again to appreciate.
"Volume VII, Volume VIII Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Suddenly, Qin Lao knocked on his forehead, as if thinking about something; After a while, he put down the poetry book, "You wait for me for a while, I'll go check the information!" β
