Chapter 140: The Transaction Is Completed

It is only a few pieces of porcelain, Xi Qing estimated in his heart, its value, at least more than 200 million RMB, and it is also the kind that has no price, in the domestic auction house, these objects, three or five years may not be able to see one. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In particular, the Wanli five-color dragon pattern vase, although the age is slightly behind in these porcelain, but the production process is extremely exquisite, the four sides are painted with colorful Ganoderma lucidum dragon pattern, the pattern is auspicious and auspicious, and the blue and white script at the bottom of the vessel is "Ming Wanli Year System", the font is neat, and the inheritance is orderly.

These pieces of porcelain can be regarded as national first-class cultural relics, you know, even in the millions of collections in the Palace Museum, there are only more than 1,000 pieces of collections that have been assessed as national first-class cultural relics.

Seeing that Silberg's face beside him was as usual, and he did not change color because of the objects selected by Xi Qing, Xi Qing's heart calmed down a little, and he was reluctant to give up any of the items he selected.

"Mr. Silberg, why don't you see the Yuan Qinghua on your list?"

When Xi Qing was about to walk to the end of the wooden frame, he hadn't seen the Yuan blue and white porcelain he had been looking forward to for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask.

Although the Yuan Dynasty only lasted for more than 100 years, Yuan blue and white porcelain has an irreplaceable position in the history of Chinese porcelain.

Yuan blue and white porcelain opened up a new era of transition from plain porcelain to colored porcelain, its rich and majestic, bold painting style, many layers of painting, exquisite production and very few handed down, so it is extremely precious.

Xi Qing has not seen the authentic works of Yuan Qinghua in the major domestic museums he has been to, so seeing Yuan Qinghua in Silberg's collection before really made Xi Qing excited for a long time.

"Hehe, Mr. Xi Qing, you are a connoisseur, and the value of Yuan Qinghua is much higher than the porcelain you just selected......

Silberg smiled, took a few steps ahead, walked in front of Xi Qing, and led him to the end of the wooden frame, Xi Qing found that here, there was a cabinet only more than one meter high, and on it, there were only six pieces of porcelain, all of which were blue and white porcelain.

At the first glance, Xi Qing was attracted by the blue and white porcelain jar on the top, which is about 278 cm high, with a wide circle of feet at the bottom, a straight mouth and a short neck, a slightly thicker lips, a round abdomen, a gradual widening below the shoulders, and a gradual tightening to the bottom of the abdomen.

The main ornament of the porcelain jar is "Guiguzi descending the mountain", which describes the story of Sun Bin's master Guiguzi, who promised to go down the mountain to rescue Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, the famous generals of Qi who were trapped by Yan State, under the repeated request of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi State.

The whole blue and white ornament is colorful, the picture is full, sparse and dense, the primary and secondary are distinct, the whole is integrated, the characters are portrayed smoothly and naturally, the charm is full, the mountain stone is dyed heartily, the pen is fine, and it is perfect.

"Mr. Silberg, I want this blue and white porcelain jar!"

Xi Qing's tone was very sure, even if he put on a few sketches of Picasso, he must bring this porcelain jar of Yuan blue and white figures back to China.

You know, in the surviving Yuan blue and white porcelain, painted with the theme of character stories is even rarer, such as the "Guiguzi down the mountain" picture jar painted with character stories of the Yuan blue and white jar, known to be handed down only 8 pieces, and none of them are in the country.

If Xi Qing can bring this porcelain back to China, it will definitely cause a sensation in the domestic collection circle, and it will be beneficial to the opening of his museum.

"Mr. Xi Qing, you also know that this character Yuan Qinghua has very few surviving in the world, and I will ...... this one"

For the first time, Silberg's face showed a look of embarrassment.

Although he did not say it explicitly, Silberg had already expressed his meaning, that is, Xi Qing's six sketches of Picasso figures alone were not enough to exchange for so much porcelain.

"Mr. Silberg, we are friends, I will not let you suffer, so let's do it, this figure Yuan blue and white, plus this fish-pattern blue and white porcelain jar, I will take out six more sketches of Picasso, what do you think?"

The fish-patterned blue and white porcelain jar that Xi Qing said is a piece of porcelain placed next to the Guiguzi blue and white porcelain, which is painted with the pattern of mackerel, white, silver carp and mandarin fish playing in the water.

Xi Qing knows that in Chinese culture, the four fish of mackerel, white, silver carp and mandarin fish are homonyms of the words "clean, white, honest and clean".

In addition, on the shoulder of the jar, there are peony entwined branches and auspicious lotus petal patterns on the feet, the mouth of the jar has a wave pattern unique to the 14th century, the shoulder of the jar has a peony pattern, and the auspicious cloud treasure grid at the bottom of the jar is painted with patterns such as Ganoderma lucidum, conch, money, and flames.

Although it is not as good as the Guiguzi Yuan blue and white porcelain jar in terms of value, this fish pattern jar can also be regarded as a fine product in the Yuan blue and white flowers, and among Xi Qing's many collections, there are few that can be compared.

"Six more Picasso?"

Silberg's eyes lit up, but then he said: "Xi Qing, the value of this piece of Yuan blue and white is not cheaper than that of the character blue and white, do you see if it is ......?"

Xi Qing smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Dear Mr. Silberg, although there are not many Yuan blue and white flowers in existence, compared to that figure blue and white, the number of fish pattern jars in existence seems to be more, and there are no less than twenty pieces of what I know, and the value of these two cannot be said to be the same......

In some museums in China, there are indeed a few fish pattern jars, although Xi Qing has not seen them, but he also knows where they are.

After a pause, Xi Qing continued: "Mr. Silberg, at the Paris auction three years ago, a five-sheet sketch book by Mr. Picasso was sold for $13 million, and now three years have passed. ”

If, according to what Xi Qing said, he took out twelve sketches, he could bind them into at least two volumes, and according to the current market where Picasso's paintings have a price, these two sketch albums are worth at least more than 40 million US dollars, and if they are converted into RMB, it will be about 300 million.

Judging from the current market of Yuan blue and white porcelain in the international auction, the value of this Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar should be around 100 million RMB, and the fish pattern jar is much lower, at most about 20 million.

More importantly, the Picasso works in Xi Qing's hands are different from these Chinese porcelain, and Chinese artworks are often unsold in international auctions.

But Silberg knew that if Xi Qing put Picasso's sketches at auction, he was afraid that even if he offered $40 million, he might not be able to pocket it.

"Mr. Xi Qing, as you said, we are friends, I think, this deal between us can be reached ......"

Silberg is much more familiar with the prices of these items at international auctions than Xi Qing, and in terms of price, if he doesn't count the porcelain he promised to give to Xi Qing, he still takes advantage of it.

Although Silberg got the news that some people were ready to hype up Chinese porcelain in recent years, it was not that the hype had not yet begun, and Silberg's current mind was to change Picasso's works to his hands first.

In order not to make Xi Qing regret it, Silberg then said: "As a friend, dear Xi Qing, I have decided to give away another 200 pieces of Chinese porcelain to enrich your upcoming museum, and I hope you will accept ......"

"200 pieces?"

Xi Qing laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to Silberg, and said, "Thank you, I think, you can definitely be my good friend, I hope you can attend when my museum opens......"

"I must have been yearning for the beautiful and mysterious China for a long time......"

Silberg held Xi Qing's hand, and the two looked at each other and laughed, as for what everyone was thinking, only God knew.

In all fairness, it is not possible to say who suffers and who takes advantage of this transaction, and the porcelain selected by Xi Qing is the best of Chinese porcelain, which is extremely rare at home and abroad, and the price has been rising over the years.

However, the Picasso sketches taken out by Xi Qing are also precious and exceptional, sought after by many international collectors, and are also value-added works of art.

As for the 200 pieces of Chinese porcelain that Silberg took out, he has not seen the real thing, and it is difficult for Xi Qing to assess their value, but as far as Silberg's collection here is concerned, it seems that it is more difficult to find some crooked melons and cracked dates.

Xi Qing can imagine what kind of impact and impact this collection will have on China's antique industry after it appears in his museum, of course, all of this must be built on the basis of the museum's opening.

Waiting to return to the hotel, Wu Lisa had already arrived, she took out a bunch of legal documents and introduced them in her mouth, and then, he took out an agreement from her bag, handed it to Xi Qing, and said, "There is a blank in the number of items traded, do you see if there is anything else that needs to be changed?" If not, fill in the name of the item you exchanged with Silberg, and you're ready to trade......"

This agreement was drawn up by Lisa Wu on the plane, Xi Qing looked at it roughly, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go to Silberg's castle in the afternoon......"

Yesterday, Xi Qing did not accept Silberg's invitation to live in his castle, mainly because he felt that the place was a little remote, and maybe there would really be vampires at night.

But now Xi Qing can't wait to sign the agreement!

The next day, Silberg's Castle.

"Mr. Xi Qing, dear friend, I'm really happy to see you, you Chinese talk about candles and nights, if you don't go back yesterday......"

It was still the Rolls-Royce that picked up Xi Qing and the others at the hotel, and after they came to Silberg's castle, the English gentleman was already waiting at the door.

"Hehe, when you have the opportunity in the future, you go to Jiangcheng, I must do my best to be a landlord......"

Xi Qing smiled and snorted, buddy let his daughter-in-law not hug, what are you talking about at night with you, a foreign devil, are you sick?

After entering the hall of the castle, Xi Qing found that in the living room, there were two other people, a man and a woman, judging by the clothes they were wearing, they should be government workers.

"Mr. Xi Qing, these two are Anna and Cook from the London Notary Office, and they will notarize our transaction......"

Sure enough, Silberg's introduction made Xi Qing affirm his thoughts, and the two notaries stood up with curious eyes and bowed slightly to Xi Qing and the others.

Although Anna and Cook don't know the origin of Xi Qing, it must not be easy for someone who can trade with Silberg, a rich man.

After Xi Qing returned the salute to the two, he looked at Silberg, handed over a sketchpad folder, and said: "Mr. Picasso's 12 sketches are here, Silberg, you can ask Mr. Nix to appraise ......"

After Silberg took the things, he laughed and said, "Xi Qing, the porcelain you wanted, I asked people to sort it out overnight yesterday, you can take a look at it first......

Silberg raised his hand, and more than 10 people put some cardboard boxes of different sizes on the floor in front of Xi Qing.

"Mr. Xi Qing, the porcelain I promised to give you has been placed on the truck outside, ready to be delivered to the airport at any time, if you need to check it, there is no problem......

Xi Qing told Silberg yesterday that he would leave London today, and these porcelains on the ground are the ones that Xi Qing values the most and are also the most valuable, so Silberg said so.

"Mr. Silberg, I've always trusted my friends, so I don't need to check ......"

Xi Qing smiled and waved his hand, as early as when these porcelains had not been put down, Xi Qing had already verified them with aura, it was indeed the two pieces of Yuan Qinghua and Song Ming porcelain, and Silberg did not cheat.

As for the truck containing the other porcelain, it was parked at the entrance of the castle, within the range of Xi Qing's aura, although Xi Qing did not check them one by one, but the aura inside showed that all of them were genuine.

"Boss, yes, it's indeed the real Picasso ......"

Eliminating the process of inspecting the goods by Xi Qing, it didn't take long for Nix to identify Picasso's works, and after more than 10 minutes, the authenticity had already been identified.

After Xi Qing and Silberg signed the agreement respectively, two notaries issued a notarial certificate, and the transaction involving hundreds of millions of funds was quietly completed.

"Mr. Silberg, welcome to China!"

"Definitely, I will definitely go to this beautiful country."

After the deal was completed, Xi Qing and Silberg breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They laughed together, and when Silberg said that he wanted to invite Xi Qing Tao Xiaoman to dinner, Xi Qing did not refuse this time.

With Silberg's interactions, Xi Qing believes that maybe there will be more in the future, and the Chinese culture is to push the cup and change the lamp to strengthen the connection. It's really like what Xi Qing said, this meal lasted more than three hours, and after the meal, Xi Qing and Tao Xiaoman will go back to Paris first, and after sending Tao Xiaoman back, Xi Qing will return to China.
