Chapter 123 [Hailao Porcelain] (Five Watches)

"Ancient shipwrecks!"

Qin Fan's heart was extremely shocked, and he was about to get close to the merchant ship that sank to the bottom of the sea to take a closer look, when a tingling pain suddenly came from the cerebral cortex, and then he woke up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sun was shining on the barren and bleak hillside, but when Qin Fan opened his eyes, he saw a big golden retriever dog anxiously circling around him, letting out a low cry of sorrow, licking his cheek with his big tongue from time to time, trying to wake up his master.

"When did I faint, was it all a dream?"

At this time, Qin Fan's gaze fell on the mysterious sapphire in his hand, and his heart beat violently. The dream just now was too real, as if he had experienced it himself, so that Qin Fan couldn't believe that it was just a dream.

However, what made Qin Fan puzzled was how it was possible for ordinary people to breathe freely in the sea and ignore the water pressure. This is simply too incredible, if you say it, I'm afraid that others will treat Qin Fan as a neuropath.

"No, it's not just a dream. Could it be that the ancient shipwreck I saw was real? ”

The ancient shipwreck he saw at the bottom of the sea had been deeply imprinted in Qin Fan's mind, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he could remember the appearance of the shipwreck.

Qin Fan recalled the style and details of the shipwreck in his dream, and a flash of light flashed in his mind. There are many records of shipwrecks in history, and if you go back and check the styles and characteristics of the merchant ships of various dynasties, you may be able to deduce what era the shipwreck he saw came from and which sea area it sank.

Oh!

Huzi saw that his master had finally come to his senses, and pounced on him happily, rubbing his face affectionately with his big head.

"Okay Huzi, I'm fine." Qin Fan rubbed Huzi's head, put away the mysterious sapphire, and drove G55 in the direction of Luzhou.

After driving for five hours, it was already evening when I returned to Luzhou.

Qin Fan parked the car in the garage of the villa, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw an unexpected acquaintance sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and chatting with Qin's mother.

"Miss Qiao, your Chinese is really good, more slippery than what our old man said."

"Hehe, I grew up in the republic, Chinese is my mother tongue, but Russian is a little rusty." Qiao Zhen chatted with Qin's mother generously, and her Luzhou dialect was more standard than the locals.

As soon as Qin Fan entered the door, he saw Qiao Zhenzhen at a glance. This girl has a long blonde hair and blue eyes with a European face, but she likes to wear a Chinese-style cheongsam, and her hair is tied into that classical style bun, which looks quite novel.

"Xiaofan, you have a friend coming to you, what are you doing standing at the door, come and greet the guests." Mother Qin saw her son at the door like a piece of wood, and hurriedly asked him to come over to greet Qiao Zhenzhen.

Hearing this, Qiao Zhenzhen hurriedly stood up and walked in front of Qin Fan and generously stretched out a snow-white little hand to him.

"Qin Fan, we meet again."

"Miss Qiao, did you come to me for something?"

Qin Fan's big hand shook Qiao Zhenzhen's face, not to mention that Qiao Zhenzhen's 1.7 meter tall is really beautiful in a Chinese-style cheongsam, just like a beautiful model on the Victoria's Secret show. Especially the pair of long legs looming under the cheongsam, people can't help but think about it.

"Aren't we friends, can't we come to you if it's okay? You moved to a new house, and I haven't come to congratulate you yet. Qiao Zhenzhen knows a lot about the human affairs of the Chinese nation, and knows that he can't come to visit empty-handed, so he specially prepared a gift.

But speaking of which, Qiao Zhenzhen and Qin Fan have only met once, and they can't talk about any friends. This time, Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly came to visit, and he must have something to ask Qin Fan for help.

At this time, Fang Xiaojun, who had just come back from outside, rushed straight in, lay down on the sofa without any image, grabbed a few pastries on the coffee table and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Aunt Qin, your craftsmanship is really getting better and better, this pastry is full of color, flavor and color." Fang Xiaojun chewed the pastry in his mouth and said vaguely.

"There are guests here, and there is no shape." Qin's mother regarded Fang Xiaojun as half a son, and she didn't speak so politely. "These pastries were brought by Miss Qiao, you eat slowly and don't choke."

After Qin's mother reminded him like this, Fang Xiaojun noticed Qiao Zhenzhen who was talking to Qin Fan.

"Yo, it's really a rare guest, what kind of wind blew Miss Qiao here?"

The Fang family and the Qiao family are world friends, and he and Qiao Zhenzhen are also old acquaintances, but they don't dare to have any thoughts about this beautiful mixed-race beauty Fang Xiaojun, otherwise Uncle Qiao will have to break his third leg.

"I'm here for Qin Fan this time, and I want to ask him for help." Qiao Zhenzhen said straight to the point.

"Xiaofan, you can't refuse Miss Qiao's busyness, otherwise Uncle Qiao won't be able to explain it." Fang Xiaojun glanced at Qin Fan, with an expression on his face that all men understand.

Qin Fan gave him an angry look, he had known Fang Xiaojun for so long, and he knew what he was going to fart as soon as he pouted his ass.

"Miss Qiao, tell me what the hell is going on." Qin Fan is not the kind of man who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, so he didn't immediately agree to her request.

"If only you called me real." Qiao Zhenzhen took a sip of tea and sorted out his words before he spoke, "That's the case, there is a special auction of Hailao porcelain on the Xiangjiang side these days, and I want to buy a batch of Hailao porcelain." But I don't know much about Hailao porcelain, I heard that there are a lot of counterfeit Hailao porcelain on the market, so I want to ask Qin Fan to help accompany me to Xiangjiang to have a look. ”

I see.

Qin Fan finally knew why Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly came to him, it seemed that it was because Qiao Zhenzhen was deeply impressed by the incident of smashing the blue vase at Qiao's house last time. In her heart, I am afraid that she has already regarded Qin Fan as an expert in identifying porcelain.

"Xiaofan, what is Hailao porcelain, I only know Haidilao hot pot." Fang Xiaojun asked with a blank expression.

Okay, dare to love Fang Xiaojun, this product only knows how to eat.

"Hailao porcelain is actually a classification of export porcelain. The so-called export porcelain refers to those porcelain produced for trade purposes in ancient Chinese history and sold abroad. Qin Fan gave Fang Xiaojun a bit of knowledge about export porcelain and Hailao porcelain.

"Most of these export porcelains were sold abroad in the Ming and Qing dynasties through trade, transported by land and sea or foreign merchants who came to China to purchase, customize, and other business methods. A small part of it was fine porcelain made by rewards, gifts, or orders of the European and American high society and the royal court. ”

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Chinese porcelain was exported abroad, and the Strait of Malacca, as a maritime hub between Asia, Africa and Europe, became a necessary place for Chinese merchant ships. At that time, navigation was far less developed than it is now, and sea navigation was a very dangerous thing, and it could sink in the event of a larger wind and waves. ”

"At that time, many Chinese merchant ships sank near the Strait of Malacca, and the porcelain on board was salvaged out of the water and collectively called Hailao porcelain."

In the eighties of the twentieth century, since the appearance of Hailao porcelain in international art auctions, the transaction price has been rising. In foreign countries, you can often see special auctions of Hailao porcelain.

Some people believe that although Hailao porcelain cannot be compared with the fine products of the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties, because these porcelains come from shipwrecks and have an obvious historical background, the cultural and historical value reflected cannot be underestimated.

"In recent years, the price of porcelain in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China has been constantly raised, and the value of some fine porcelain from private kilns has also skyrocketed. Many businessmen have set their sights on cheap and high-quality export porcelain, and Hailao porcelain has also become popular in foreign countries and frequently appears in international auctions. "Qiao Zhenzhen does not have a deep research on the identification of antique porcelain, but he is very sensitive to the wind direction of the international market, showing a good business talent.

She saw that Hailao porcelain has attracted more and more collectors' attention in the international market, and the price has risen all the way, so she wants to take advantage of this east wind to buy a batch of Hailao porcelain stockpiling and wait for Hailao porcelain to appreciate.

In the eyes of Qin Fan, a traverser, Qiao Zhenzhen's vision is undoubtedly extremely accurate.

He knew that in the near future, a batch of Hailao porcelain, which had been sleeping on the seabed for hundreds of years, landed in the mainland auction for the first time, and more than 200 lots were auctioned for 27.27 million yuan at the Guardian Four Seasons Auction, with a turnover rate of 92.05%.

Since then, the market of Hailao porcelain has been bullish, and it has won the favor of domestic and foreign collectors, and many exquisite Hailao porcelain have been sold at auction.

It's just that because the Hailao porcelain market is becoming more and more popular in the international market, it has inevitably caused the phenomenon of a flood of fakes. If you don't know how to identify the authenticity of Hailao porcelain, it is very likely that someone will take it to the pit and spend a lot of money to buy a fake.

"The special auction of Hailao porcelain held in Xiangjiang is only one week, if you agree to accompany me, I will pay for the air ticket and accommodation, and I can also pay you an additional appraisal fee." Qiao Zhenzhen's blue eyes widened, and he looked at Qin Fan expectantly.

Although the Hailao porcelain in the auction is all appraisal, and the probability of fakes is very small, Qiao Zhenzhen is still a little uneasy. Moreover, she heard that there are many Hailao porcelain from Fu Province in the antique market in Xiangjiang, which are genuine and fake, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the authenticity.

"Hey, that's a good errand. Food, accommodation and travel expenses, and beautiful women accompany the whole process, where to find such a beautiful errand. Xiaofan, you should take a trip to Xiangjiang. Fang Xiaojun said instigatingly.

Qin Fan hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, a blue sea suddenly appeared in his mind, as well as the huge shipwreck that sank to the bottom of the sea, and he was shocked.

"Nacheng, I'll accompany you to Xiangjiang for a trip. But this appraisal fee is not needed, aren't we friends, and we will see each other when we talk about money. ”

With Qin Fan's current net worth, he didn't care about the appraisal fee, and he also wanted to find a professional to check the information about the ancient shipwreck to see if he could find clues about the shipwreck.
