Although there are few porcelain in the Song Dynasty, it can still be seen in major foreign museums from time to time, but the Yuan blue and white flowers are different, which is really rare and rare. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially the last piece on the fax list, the Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending mountain picture jar, as far as Xi Qing knows, the Yuan blue and white porcelain painted with the theme of the character story, there are definitely no more than 10 pieces in this world, of course, these pieces have been unearthed and researched.

It's just that what makes the Chinese people sad is that none of the Yuan blue and white porcelain, such as the "Zhaojun Out of the Plug" jar now in the Idemitsu Museum of Art in Tokyo, the "Sangu Thatched House" jar in the collection of the Pegassers Foundation, the "Zhou Yafutun Xiliuying" jar in the old collection of the Anzhai Art Museum, the "Wei Chi Gong Savior" jar in the Boston Museum of Boston, the "Incense Burning in the West Chamber" jar in the collection of a private collector in Asia, and the "Baihuating" jar in the Wanye Art Museum, are in the hands of the Chinese, but it is sad.

"Take it down, you must take down that Yuan blue and white Guiguzi descending mountain picture jar!"

There was a voice in Xi Qing's heart, roaring loudly, although the price of Yuan Qinghua has risen sharply in recent years, and there is no shortage of speculation from foreign speculators, but Yuan Qinghua is scarce, and that is also a real thing.

At least Xi Qing has not found a real Yuan blue and white porcelain in major museums in China, most of which are imitated after the Ming and Qing dynasties, and now he has the opportunity to get a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain, and Xi Qing's heart is already excited.

"By the way, contact him, where is the business card that Shahr left just now?"

Xi Qing came back to his senses and rummaged on the coffee table, even if he asked Xi Qing to take out all the Picasso sketches and exchange them with Sha Er for this Guiguzi Yuan Qinghua, Xi Qing was willing.

was about to look for it, but Xi Qing's phone rang first.

"Xi Qing, have you received the fax that Sha'er sent you?"

Just as Xi Qing found Sha'er's business card and was about to call in a hurry, Wu Lisha's call hit his mobile phone.

"Got it, Sister Lisa, let me tell you, Sha'er actually has two pieces of Yuan Qinghua."

"Really?"

"Yes, there are two! Looking at the faxed photos doesn't look like fakes. ”

Xi Qing was afraid that Wu Lisa would not believe it, so he deliberately accentuated his tone on the phone, as long as he played porcelain, he knew the status of Yuan Qinghua in the minds of the Chinese people, which represented the highest artistic level of an invincible dynasty that swept across Europe.

"Xi Qing, don't get excited, I also received a fax from Sha'er, and I have read the list of things listed on it......"

Wu Lisha's voice is much calmer than Xi Qing, it's no wonder, no matter how good things are, they can't reach her hands, as the saying goes, it's none of your business, hang it high.

"Wu Lisha, just change that Guiguzi Yuan blue and white flower, what conditions do you need for him to bring it up......"

Xi Qing said straight to the point, as long as the Yuan Qinghua on the list is real, Xi Qing is willing to pay any price.

"Xi Qing, your name is wrong, you have to be calm now, you have to be calm......"

"I can't be calm, I want to go and see if that Yuan Qinghua is real or fake now!"

Xi Qing replied on the phone angrily, how could he calm down at this time? That's a national treasure.

After hearing Xi Qing's words, Wu Lisa on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Xi Qing, you are a fan of the authorities, do you know why I called you?" I'm just afraid that you will be impetuous, and you will lose your sense of proportion first. ”

"Huh? How so? ”

Xi Qing replied angrily, but immediately reacted and said, "Sister Lisa, it won't be Sha'er who asked you to be a lobbyist, right?" ”

Xi Qing saw the Guiguzi blue and white porcelain jar just now, he was really anxious, and now that he stabilized, his mind suddenly became much clearer, that Yuan blue and white is good, but the Picasso works in his hands are not nameless objects, and the value is not low. Who knows, that Shar is willing to exchange all those things for himself as he thinks, who can say for sure.

"Hehe, you're really right, Schar is afraid that you will sell Picasso's paintings to others, so he specially told me to tell you that his collection is absolutely real Chinese porcelain, and he hopes that you will go to London to see things before deciding the fate of Picasso's works......"

Sure enough, what Wu Lisha said later was similar to Xi Qing's idea, and he didn't even take a breath since he returned from Sha'er, so he sent a fax to himself, which shows that his desire for Picasso's works is really very strong, and this emotion is probably even more than his desire to get Yuan Qinghua.

Xi Qing froze and said for a moment: "Sister Lisa, I was too excited just now, in fact, he wants to exchange more than me, so you see...... What should I do? Use those six Picasso sketches to exchange for that Guiguzi Yuan blue and white? Or which one to change? ”

"I said Xi Qing, are you really stupid or fake? Why are you? Why did you take six paintings in exchange for one piece of porcelain? I'll tell you, you just open your mouth, a sketch for a porcelain, show your strength, in my estimation, he may not agree, in short, you must not be soft......"

A sketch for a piece of porcelain, are you sure it's not a robbery?

There was a shout from Lisa Wu on the other side of the phone, and Xi Qing was startled. She is even more ruthless than herself, but anyway, it has been several years since Picasso's works have been auctioned, and the objects in Xi Qing's hands are definitely strange goods.

Xi Qing nodded and said, "Okay, then do as you say, I won't talk back to him first, let's talk about it first, by the way, I still have more than 20 sketches here, you can introduce me to some people......"

"Ahh Do you still have? ”

"yes, introduce me to someone."

"Well, you're really rich. However, don't rush to sell these sketches with you, wait for the price to sell, you know? These are all valuable things, and there will definitely be countless buyers, so let's compare them slowly. ”

Hearing Wu Lisha's analysis, Xi Qing also knew the weight of these sketches in his hands, and he was not in a hurry at the moment.

As for Sha'er's side, then wait until you see the actual porcelain objects, and then go and bargain with Sha'er.

……

"Did you find a buyer?"

Xi Qing was still thinking about the Chinese treasures circulating in foreign countries, and called Wu Lisa to ask if there were any big collectors who needed Picasso sketches, as well as Chinese antiques.

"Okay, Xi Qing, tomorrow I will take the honorary curator of the Guimet Museum to you to see the paintings, and you don't have to doubt the treasure in his hand. By the way, you kid will tell me first, how many real Picasso paintings do you have? ”

Wu Lisa couldn't hide the curiosity in her heart, she saw with her own eyes that Wu Torres identified Xi Qing's paintings as genuine, not to mention Wu Torres's character, but his appraisal level is still quite famous in the European art world.

"Hehe, not counting those six, there are twenty-two, how about it, can you fool some people?"

Xi Qing laughed proudly on the phone, in the past, Taobao in China, it was called Nest Heng, even if he found a baby, Xi Qing was not particularly comfortable in his heart, but slaughtering foreigners, Xi Qing didn't have any burden in his heart at all, so he almost sang a big knife and cut off the heads of foreign devils.

After saying that, Xi Qing went to meet with Wu Lisa, and Wu Lisha brought the foreigner.

"Xi Qing, this is Ewen from the Musée Guimet in Paris. Mr. Guimet, who is the founder of the Guimet Museum, Emile. Guimet's descendant, who was also the director of the museum......"

"Mr. Ewen, this is Xi Qing."

Early the next morning, in Xi Qing's hotel room, the second group of guests was ushered in, also brought by Lisa Wu, but this time Tao Xiaoman did not hide in the house, but stayed in the living room with Xi Qing.

Ewan. Jimi is about fifty years old, her hair is a little gray, she wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and she looks very elegant, like a professor teaching at a university, and after shaking hands with Xi Qing, she looks at the young man in front of her very quietly.

Xi Qing was right, in addition to being the director of the Guimet Museum, Ewen also held a teaching assignment at a university, and he was indeed a professor worthy of the name.

With Eun, there is also an appraiser, as the saying goes, there is a specialization, Ewen is not very familiar with Picasso's works, but in Paris and Europe, there are too many people who study Picasso, and it is still easy to find an appraiser for Picasso's paintings. Naturally, Ewen also brought such an expert with him.

"Hello, Mr. Ewen, please be seated......"

Xi Qing was not very enthusiastic, but he was not cold, but Eun's treatment was much better than that of Sha'er yesterday, at least Tao Xiaoman poured a cup of coffee for the two of them.

Char's ancestors were former French robbers, but Eun's ancestors were relatively innocent, so only here in Xi Qing can he have the treatment of coffee and tea.

Xi Qing once looked up the history of the Musée Guimet, from which he learned that Emile. Guimet, the founder of the Guimet Museum, was originally an industrialist in Lyon, France, and officially established the Guimet Museum in the 16th arrondissement of Paris in 1889, mainly displaying the religious culture of Egypt, ancient Rome, Greece and Asian countries.

And most of the collections in the Guimet Museum are also Emile. Guimet collected it during his early years on globetrotting in Egypt, Greece, Japan, China, and India. This is also due to his strong personal financial support.

At first, the museum focused on the religious cultures of Egypt, Rome, Greece and Asian countries, but later, as a result of a series of expeditions to different regions of the Far East, the museum has preserved the religious part of ancient Egypt while paying more and more attention to Asia.

In 1927, the Musée Guimet was part of the headquarters of the French Museum, and thus received a large number of works of art acquired by explorers during their expeditions to Central Asia and China.

Later, the museum received the original works from the Indochina Museum and the excavated artifacts provided by the French expedition to Afghanistan, and the Guimet Museum became famous for its rich collection of art from the pan-Indian cultural circle.

In 1945, the collection of French state-owned museums was reorganized on a large scale, and the Musée Guimet transferred its Egyptian part to the Louvre, which gave back the Asian art section, making the Musée Guimet the premier museum of Asian art.

It is precisely for this reason that there are a large number of precious Chinese cultural relics in the Guimet Museum, and of course, there are some precious Chinese artworks donated to the Louvre by the descendants of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is also inevitable.

That's why Xi Qingcai asked Wu Lisa to contact the Guimet Museum. Jimei was able to come in person, which more or less surprised Xi Qing.

There are many museums in France, but most of the main exhibits are Asian or Chinese cultural relics, and the Musée Guimet is definitely second to none.

As a museum with a business direction focused on Asia, Xi Qing originally did not have much hope for the possibility of exchanging collections with him. Jimei, Xi Qing felt that things seemed to be taking a turn for the better. Perhaps Ewen was also very fond of Picasso's paintings.

"Mr. Ewen, I would like to forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, your museum's main business direction should be Asian art, I wonder what you think of Picasso's works?"

Xi Qing first has to understand the status of Picasso's works in Eugen's mind, so that he can bargain, and he also knows that foreigners are more straightforward when talking about things. Jimi wouldn't have understood what he meant.

"Mr. Xi, although Mr. Picasso is a Spaniard, he has spent most of his life in France, and he should also be regarded as a Frenchman, and his influence in France is much higher than that of anyone in France, including President de Gaulle...... I think what I said, you should be able to understand. ”

Ewan. Jimei's undisguised praise for Picasso made Xi Qing's heart happy, you had better offer Picasso as an ancestor, then my price can be higher.

"In addition, as a museum with a long history of more than 100 years, we should also develop through multiple channels, and at the same time manage Asian art, we should also explore the fine collections of European modern art masters, and Mr. Picasso's works are coveted by every museum, and I do not hide my thoughts on this at all......

Xi Qing didn't know that although the Guimet Museum belongs to the French museum headquarters, it is only nominal, all kinds of miscellaneous expenses and profits, the Guimet Museum is still self-sufficient, in today's commercial society, if a museum wants to develop better, there is no doubt that it must have a place that attracts the attention of others.

Compared with Chinese culture, Picasso's works will undoubtedly attract the attention of tourists from all over the world, which can also launch a new profitable project for the Guimet Museum, and will also allow the Guimet Museum to have more funds to do a good job in the restoration and maintenance of cultural relics.
