Chapter 388: Channeling Yard (1)
Walking along the side of Slender West Lake, soon arrived at the Red Garden, which was originally a flower and bird market, and the folk collectibles market has gradually developed over the years, coupled with the Yangzhou jade market near the left, a circle has slowly formed, in addition to professionals, a large number of tourists accumulated by Slender West Lake have also become the main consumer groups here.
Although it is not a weekend, and the cold of early winter, the popularity is quite strong, when you get closer, you can feel the gradual increase in the flow of people, and when the flow of people is like weaving, it is already to the side of the market, surrounded by the city tower with cloth flags, the scale is not small, but it is a large area formed by several streets together, there is no barrier.
When they first arrived, the two of them were also anxious to get into those antique shops, but found a small teahouse on the side of the road, went in to drink tea, took a short rest, and inquired about the situation here by the way.
"It's your first time, right?" The little guy holding the tea, listening to Wu Chen's southern accent, said with a smile: "Look at the clothes you are wearing and the clothes are upright, you should be a big businessman." ”
"It's the first time I've come here, to visit the elders, and to see the market here by the way." Wu Chen listened to that little guy with a lot of accents, and he should be a native of the local area.
As soon as they heard that they were here to inquire about the market, the little guy carefully introduced them to a few big stores, and he also relied on himself to be the guide for them.
They are all mixed people on the street, and the shops on the left are not far away, according to the rules of the circle, if the customers he brings pay the bill, he also has a commission.
"Hehe, thank you." Wu Chen was taken aback by his enthusiasm, and immediately thought of the tour guide who went out with the group, that thing, the field brought over, where was there any good things! Hurriedly thanked Bumin: "We want to take a stroll on the street first, and wait for two friends." ”
The teahouse guy saw their noncommittal face, and was a little disappointed, but he still left a business card on the table very enthusiastically, explaining what they needed, although looking for themselves, many old shop owners on the street in the past two days are not there, all of them are some guys, quite pitiful, with their own local people to lead the way, others dare not be too pit!
The bosses aren't there? What does this say, did the collective run away with the money?
Wu Chen was nodding his head in thanks, but he was vaguely strange when he heard it in his heart, so he inquired again.
"Hey, you guys just came, you must not know." The little guy originally thought that there was no play, but this time he came to his senses again, leaned over, and said a little proudly: "This Yangzhou Mansion boundary, there has been news in the industry recently, there is a porcelain job to be shot, and now they are preparing to rush to the scene!" ”
As soon as he said this, Wu Chen and Kong Si suddenly realized, dare to feel that this is someone running around the field!
The so-called goods channeling yard is also an old tradition in the antique industry, which was first started from the Beijing and Tianjin areas. To put it bluntly, it is an insider trade fair.
Like those shops in the computer city, they can only have their own competitive advantages, there are agent motherboards, there are monopoly hard disks, and there are power speakers or something, no one can be big and complete. Buddies who need to install a machine, you don't have to run through the entire market one by one, just find a store, sit inside, and tell all the required configurations, and the owner will naturally help you complete the assembly. If you don't have something in the store, you can go to other stores to get it, which is the channeling of goods, and the basic idea is to communicate with each other, and everyone has a win-win situation.
Of course, there is a slight difference in the antique shop, in the old days, the risk of playing antiques was too high, not to mention the eye, that is, it really got a good object, and did not dare to expose it easily, for fear of attracting people's attention, especially some rare products. can only let the wind out in the industry first, but he doesn't say anything, make an appointment, and secretly watch the goods and trade.
At first, only the long-established stores with influence in the industry would participate, and then gradually expanded to some regular customers to also participate.
If so, it's no wonder that the big bosses are busy. Antique shops are not quite the same as others, the business on the store is often just a signboard, the real big deal is still circulating at the bottom, and those who really dare to run the field are generally people with some reputation, and the things must be excellent, and the price will naturally not be cheap to where, so although the field is only temporary, but from the time of the wind, it is to stir up for several days, privately probe, return funds, and join forces...... Wait, there are even those who know what kind of "goods" they know in advance, so they start to find their next home through their own channels, and once they take it, they will immediately change hands!
Wu Chen and they only know the form of channeling the goods yard, which is mostly in the north, and they are not so particular about the Guangfu area, as for old men like Tian Lao and them playing by themselves, they will not let out any rumors in the industry at all.
I didn't expect that there was such a field in the south of Yangzhou, but it was unexpected for them, and under the surprise, Wu Chen also knew that the little guy couldn't tell what kind of treasure it was, so he could only ask the time and place, as well as the rules here.
I didn't expect the little guy to be well-informed, seeing that Wu Chen was very interested, he simply put down the teapot, sat down, and told them what happened.
But it turned out that as early as half a month ago, there was a rumor on Yangzhou Road, saying that "Huiwentang" had obtained a Ru kiln porcelain and intended to sell it.
Ru kiln! This one blow exploded! Under the guidance of the local association, the local time-honored brands and big shops have joined forces to build a freight yard, and some old customers are called to bid on the spot, and the one with the highest price wins.
"I'll go!" As soon as Wu Chen heard Ruyao, he subconsciously pursed his lips! glanced at Kong Si, and felt that this news was really unreliable!
The head of the famous porcelain, Ru kiln is the best!
There are thousands of porcelain in the world, there are many famous kilns, each period also has its own typical works, recognized as rare varieties of Yuan blue and white, Hongwu glaze red, Yongxuan blue and white, Chenghua Doucai, and the pastel of the Qing Dynasty, Doucai and monochrome glaze, if from the kiln mouth, in addition to the Song Dynasty Ruguan Ge Junding five famous kilns, there are Longquan, Yaozhou, firewood kiln and so on.
But there is no doubt that among all the varieties and kilns, Ruguan kiln is the first among all porcelain, with delicate soil, hard fetal bones and moist glaze. Because of its glaze mixed with agate powder, its color has azure, bean green, shrimp green, slightly yellow, as well as green onion, sky blue, etc., especially the azure, the most precious, there is "no place to go after the rain", the glaze juice is thick, like a pile of grease drops, as jasper, knocking sound as chime.
The so-called Ru kiln in the line, is specifically referring to the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong period of the creation of burning, exclusively for the use of the inside, it is said that Song Huizong, the emperor of literature and art, has a very high vision, each batch of Ru kiln delivered to the palace, must be personally checked, if you feel bad, even if the quality is perfect, you have to smash it into powder and spread it on the ground in the palace, therefore, what remains is the boutique of the boutique!
It's a pity that the real firing time of Ru kiln is only more than 20 years, or only Song Huizong half of the dynasty, to the invasion of Jin soldiers, Song Huizong father and son became prisoners, the entire Central Plains fell into chaos, Ru kiln was also suspended, to the Southern Song Dynasty, although the official family has the intention to resume the firing of Ru kiln, but it is also "nearly rare", and then the firing is not completed.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, which is known as the peak of the porcelain industry, it is impossible to imitate the feeling of thick glaze, piled up grease and tears, and regarded as jasper.
Because of this, the Ru kiln is more and more precious, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ru kiln in the world is almost gone, and the emperor has been brought into the palace!
Up to now, there are only 65 Ru kilns in existence, each of which can be called the treasure of major museums! At the beginning of this year, at the Sotheby's spring auction of the Hong Kong government, a "Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glazed sunflower wash" was priced at a sky-high price of 2 after 34 mouths. HK$078.6 billion sold!
And now here, there is actually a Ru kiln on the market? Isn't that a joke!
Although Wu Chen and Kong Si were full of disapproval, but since they had met, they really went to get together with this excitement, not afraid of 10,000, just in case?
Don't look at Liu Lao's collection is all fine products, there are everything, but there is really no Ru kiln, except for pictures and TV documentaries, the only real Ru kiln that Wu Chen has seen is still in the Guangfu Museum, where there is a "half", it is this "half" remnant, which is enough for Wu Chen to study from afar through the glass for a long time.
asked clearly, but it was today, and the place was not far away, so Wu Chen took the little servant to take them around, which was all an eye-opener.
That little guy was originally a little reluctant, he was not qualified to enter, not to mention, the main thing is that there is no kickback for this kind of leading the way, who wants to do it!
Kong Si was experienced, and seeing his hesitant face, he said, "Let's do it, not only to lead the way, but if we can get us into the field, we will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan in cash!"
Money can make ghosts grind, 10,000 cash was auctioned out, this little guy immediately smiled, didn't carry the teapot anymore, whispered directly to the boss, and beckoned them to go out. It is estimated that the boss also knew that their subordinates were begging for a living outside, and did not stop them, anyway, the business in the store was also light.
When they arrived at the door, the little maid took out his mobile phone while leading them up to a street outside, and made several calls in a row, sometimes whispering, sometimes scolding, and finally got it, and greeted Wu Chen and the two with a smile.
When I arrived at the place, it was the location of a private club by the lake, and there were security guards standing outside in twos and threes, vigilantly looking at the passers-by, and when they saw them walking straight to the door, they stopped.
The little guy was not in a hurry, he explained with a smile, made a phone call, and after waiting for a while, a guy who claimed to be his cousin walked out of it, looked at Wu Chen and them with a proud face, waved his hand, turned around and walked inside.
Kong Si took out a large pile of old man's head from his bag and threw it to the little guy, followed behind Wu Chen, and followed the man inside.
