Chapter 1257 - Pick the Worst

Of course, it is a bit blunt to say "request", but in fact, in the handwriting, his tone is very polite request. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wen Jia took the notepad, looked at the last page, and there was a sentence: But the last wish, if the successor has the spare strength, imitate the private residence pavilions in Europe and the United States, it should be made public. If you are shy, pray that you will not leave the country.

This request is very pertinent and reasonable. If you have the ability, you can open your own museum, collect exhibitions, and let everyone know these good things in China. If you don't have the ability and lack of money, I can't help you sell it, but don't leave the country, just don't sell it to foreigners.

However, there is no mention of leaving it to the state. This is also easy to understand, what kind of environment was he in at that time? Late Qing Dynasty. He himself refused to hand it over to the Manchu government at that time. Moreover, even if he hid his things and faced the era next, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed and the warlords were divided, with the background of the era in which he lived, he probably would not have thought of this at all.

Torii Ryuzo did not pursue it further, and in fact he was not qualified to pursue it. These things, for special historical reasons, have actually become the private collection of this "nameless" person. And this request of his seems to be prepared for Tang Yi!

Wen Jia was overjoyed and looked at Tang Yi, "Then take it away!" The good thing about pies in the world, why does it keep hitting your head? ”

At this time, Diao Qinsan said, "This is not a pie in the sky, if it weren't for Mr. Tang seeing the jade pendant on Li Laohan's cigarette bag, how could there be these follow-up discoveries?" The opportunity to pass by, but Mr. Tang was able to seize it, this is still eyesight! ”

"Doesn't that sound like a sycophant?" Wen Jia looked at Diao Qinsan.

Diao Qinsan laughed.

"Alright, hurry up and pack your things and leave!" Tang Yi waved his hand.

The three of them went down the mountain with their things. On the way, Tang Yi said again, "Since these jade pieces are duplicated, I think, pick out two or three pieces and hand them over to Brother Diao, and go to Chang'an to open a branch, which can be regarded as hard goods that can be handled!" ”

Diao Qinsan actually had this idea just now, but he was afraid that Tang Yi would not be flexible, and now Tang Yi took the initiative to propose it, nodding again and again, "Okay!" However, this thing can't be put on the surface! ”

Tang Yi nodded, "When the time comes, it will not be difficult to find powerful people in the circle in private." ”

What he said can't be put on the surface, not that these things can't be seen. These things have a clear inheritance from the late Qing Dynasty, but they are not from the right place.

It's just that the jade of Hongshan culture, in the market, is basically traded in a way that is kept secret. Moreover, the transaction volume is very small, and at the same time, there are mostly some small jade tubes and jade rings, jade beads and jade rings, and this kind of C-shaped dragon, jade pig dragon, jade god and other jade artifacts rarely appear. Sell only to those who know how to trade and only trade in circles, which is beneficial to both buyers and sellers.

But even if Diao Qinsan doesn't make a move on the surface, as long as he trades in the antique circle in Chang'an, many people in the circle will still know. Therefore, picking a few pieces of Hongshan jade will be of great help to the newly opened branch, whether it is profit, or in terms of strength evaluation and reputation.

"It's old, the craftsmanship is excellent, the jade material is good, it's really not difficult to find a buyer," Diao Qinsan nodded.

"The jade of the Hongshan culture is all made of river abrasive?" Wen Jia looked at Tang Yi, "I remember you said that river abrasives also have 'mountain materials'. ”

"The so-called river abrasive is actually formed by the collapse of the mountain material and the erosion of the river, so it is called river abrasive. This is a bit similar to Hetian jade, with mountain materials and seed materials. River abrasives are a bit like seeds. However, the origin of river abrasive is the origin of Xiuyu in Northeast China, but it is different from the texture of Xiuyu, it is tremolite-based jade, and the river water is washed and deposited by the river called river abrasive, and the mountain material, some people also call it old jade. Tang Yi explained.

Wen Jia nodded, and asked again, "If these Hongshan cultural jade pieces are sold, how big is the market value?" ”

"Because many of the transactions in the circle are relatively private, it is not easy to estimate. However, there have been a few auctions, but none of them have been recent. Generally speaking, the complete boutique will exceed two million, such as the jade pig dragon, such as the sun god. But large C-shaped dragons are extremely rare in the market, and should be at a higher price! Tang Yi explained while saying to Diao Qinsan, "How about you pick a C-shaped dragon, a jade pig dragon, and another one?" ”

"Okay, I'll pick the worst!" Diao Qinsan nodded.

Wen Jia smiled, "This sounds really awkward, pick the worst." ”

"That can't be helped, you have to save the best. At the same time, I also have to take care of the buyers, try to find reliable ones, and will not flow out. Diao Qinsan also smiled. He was also very happy, this was just about to open a store in Chang'an, and there was such a good opening thing, something that opened up the situation in the circle.

The three of them returned to Lao Crook's house, and Lao Crooked's pot of mutton was almost cooked, and the fragrance of mutton filled the entire courtyard.

After dinner, the old crooked went to the "stronghold" in the village to play cards, he was just like this, and he always lost, otherwise why would he still be an old bachelor.

Tang Yi, Wen Jia, and Diao Qinsan sat on the kang drinking tea and chatting. This time the harvest was great, and they returned to their hometown and worshiped their parents, and the hearts of the Diao brothers were also steady. The three of them were more comfortable.

They discussed, and they would rush to Chang'an together tomorrow.

Diao Qinsan doesn't look at martial arts since childhood, but his cultural literacy is not low, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play so deeply in antiques. After this incident, he became a little interested in Torii Ryuzo, and while chatting, he asked Tang Yi again, "Mr. Tang, this person, listening to what you mean, is not an invader, but a real scholar?" ”

"Objectively speaking, it is. This person was the first to study the ethnic minorities in China. He studied East Asian culture, and he specifically looked at China, which shows that he has found his roots. After all, many things in the Wa Kingdom came from China. Tang Yi replied, "Actually, I don't know much about him, but I have generally read some information." ”

"It seems that he collected these jade artifacts, and he may not really leave Huaxia with them." Diao Qin said.

"It's hard to say this, after leaving the eastern part of Mombasa, he returned to the Wa Kingdom. This person often shuttles between China and the Wa Kingdom. He received his doctoral dissertation, called "The Manchurian Prehistory". This man is a Huaxia expert, but the interesting thing is that he can read and write words, but he can't speak. Moreover, he opposed the invasion of China by the Japanese State, but he didn't just talk about it, and then he stayed in Yanjing and didn't live comfortably. Tang Yi told him the general idea of what he knew. He couldn't answer the question, so he could only introduce it.
