"No, I'm here to play, I like antiques, so I'm shopping. Tang Yi said with a smile, "You speak Mandarin very well, and I see that your eyesight is not bad."www.biquge.info ”

"I have loved Chinese porcelain for many years. I have been to China more than a dozen times, and every time I come to China, I will come to the porcelain capital. The foreigner stretched out his hand, "My name is Thomas White, I'm from England, and I also have a Chinese name, called Fire Art." Young man, what do you call it? ”

"Fire art? The art of fire, it seems, you are obsessed with porcelain! Tang Yi responded, "My surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Yi." ”

Unexpectedly, when he heard this name, the foreigner's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Ge Baoduo?" ”

Well? When Tang Yi heard it, am I so famous now? Even an old man from England knows?

At this moment, Tang Yi suddenly reacted, just thinking about the foreigner's Chinese name just now, and he spoke faster when he said the English name.

"Thomas White?" Tang Yi couldn't help but blurt out, "Earl White?" The king of Chinese porcelain in Europe? ”

"I didn't expect that I was also well-known in Huaxia. The title of king has passed. White smiled, "However, I have long heard of Mr. Tang's fame." ”

White's fame, Tang Yi knows, this person is a British nobleman, has a title, and is an earl. At the same time, it is also a collector, especially in porcelain, which is second to none in Europe.

If you want to talk about the heavy weapons of Chinese porcelain, because of the British and French alliance and the Eight-Nation Alliance, there are many heavy objects in Europe, and Chinese porcelain is very popular in Europe, so there are many collectors.

It can be called the king of Chinese porcelain in Europe, and the preciousness and quantity of its collection can be imagined. White and Taro Kono are old acquaintances, and they just went to Wakoku not long ago. was said by Osamu Kono, mainly to go to the summer, by the way to learn about the situation of the International Exhibition Ceremony, he has participated in the past few ceremonies.

"I didn't expect Mr. White to come and visit the stalls in the porcelain capital alone." Tang Yi smiled.

"Mr. Tang, today is fate, you might as well find a place to get together, what do you think? Besides, you will sell me this spoon too! White suggested.

Tang Yi thought to himself, since he promised to sell it to him, he couldn't break his promise anymore, and this person was very famous in Britain and even Europe, since it was such a coincidence, he actually met in Porcelain, and it was good to get acquainted.

At White's suggestion, the two went to a teahouse. Before leaving, Tang Yi didn't see Xiao Gu, so he called him and said that he would go shopping by himself.

When leaving, the two men followed all the way, leaving the stall area, which was more conspicuous. White seemed to be angry, asked Tang Yi to wait a while, and walked straight to the two men, and without knowing what to say, the two men left.

Sitting down in the private room of the teahouse, White took off his baseball cap, and although his hair was pressed, he still looked neat.

"Mr. Tang, I heard that your collection is all-encompassing, and they are all extremely valuable heavy weapons!" White took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Mr. White is serious, a little collection, not worth a damn."

"The ancient porcelain of China has brought the art of fire to the extreme, and combined painting and plastic arts, which is indeed intoxicating!" White said, "I have loved Chinese porcelain for decades, and my biggest regret is that there are two kinds of porcelain that I don't collect!" ”

Although he knew White's fame, this sentence still surprised Tang Yi! The variety of porcelain is so varied, he estimates that what White is talking about are representative of famous porcelain, but even so, there are only two kinds of porcelain that are not collected, and I am afraid that all the collectors in the world will not find a few.

"One of them, I'm afraid, is the firewood kiln." Tang Yi then said.

"That's right. There is another one, which is Yongzheng enamel color. I have Kangxi enamel and Qianlong enamel, but I don't have Yongzheng enamel. On the contrary, Yongzheng enamel color is the leader of the court enamel color of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty! Whiteness nodded.

Tang Yi nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and did not speak. Needless to say, Yongzheng enamel color, even if it is the enamel color of the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties, it is rare to stay in the people.

Again, there's a question of chance. The same is a scarce thing, you may encounter this or not. For example, Ru kiln, Chenghua Doucai, Yuan blue and white heavy equipment, in fact, the probability of encountering Yongzheng enamel color is as small, but White is lacking this one.

"I wonder if Mr. Tang has these two kinds of porcelain?"

"Mr. White said with a smile, the firewood kiln is unparalleled in the world, and there has never been any news of it, how can I collect such a thing?"

"Oh? Then Mr. Tang Yi has a collection of Yongzheng enamel color? ”

This Yongzheng enamel color, Tang Yi does have it. He bought Mr. Qi's courtyard house and got four wooden boxes hidden by Mr. Kong during the Republic of China, one of which was a Yongzheng enamel family appreciation bottle!

However, this matter is relatively private, only a few people such as Wen Jia know about it, and they have never taken it out.

"Don't hide it from Mr. White, I've been looking for this thing." Tang Yi didn't say anything to death. He naturally didn't want to do Lu Bao's business, but after the museum was built, this thing would always be on display, so he had to leave a glimmer of leeway. When the time comes, if people come to visit and see it, they will look back and think about it and say no, it's not good. Say you've been looking for it, and you're done.

White frowned slightly, and suddenly said with a smile, "Not long ago, I just came back from the Japanese Kingdom, and I met Mr. Taro Kono, the curator of the Tokyo Historical Museum. ”

"I also had a relationship with Mr. Taro Kono, and the name of this international exhibition ceremony is also thunderous, and I should go if I have the opportunity." Tang Yi replied with a smile.

White took a sip of tea and suddenly laughed, "I was a little puzzled at first, how could Mr. Tang have such a big reputation when he is so young?" These few words of yours are all left and right. Yongzheng enamel color is not available now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future; The International Exhibition Ceremony, if you have the opportunity, you should go, but you may not go. Based on that, I kind of get it. ”

"Mr. White has such a good sense of humor." Tang Yi took a sip of tea and didn't say much.

The two chatted for a while about porcelain appreciation. With White's knowledge of porcelain, looking at Huaxia, there are actually few people who are convinced, but Tang Yi seems to know everything, which makes him have to admire.

In the end, it was White who answered a phone call, and then he had to say goodbye. Before leaving, he and Tang Yi also exchanged business cards.

When he left, it was almost noon, Tang Yi turned around and contacted Xiao Gu, and the two found a restaurant and went to lunch.

White, on the other hand, returned to his hotel room. At this time, a man about forty years old, also blonde and blue-eyed, was already waiting for him at the door.
