Chapter 69: Hiding and Cultivating

Wu Tianyuan took Yuan Datou in the Republic of China for ten years to wander around in the antique city, especially the stalls and unreserved auctions every weekend, the number of coins is large, and sometimes they are all grabbed, and they really pick up a few small leaks after a few times.

In the evening, Wu Tianyuan went home to watch the preview video from Zhang Yang, and now he contacted many classmates scattered all over the world to help shoot the preview video. A salary is given once at a time, and there is an income easily, and many people are willing to do it.

In the later stage, Li Hong has been processed and cleaned up the noise, and Wu Tianyuan will soon be able to lock the antiques of the Republic of China, and then check the labeling of the auction house to see if it is missing?

Even if it is not a leak, it can be auctioned, as long as it is cost-effective, it is also a fixed income to auction it back and sell it in the store.

"Senior brother, there are two auction previews in Osaka recently, and I want to go and see them."

Liu Meizi pulled Wu Tianyuan and said coquettishly, "Last time in Kyoto, the time was tight, and I didn't have time to go home, this time I want to go back and see." ”

Wu Tianyuan rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "You girl want to do private work at public expense?" ”

Liu Meizi smiled: "If you see it through, it's still a good friend!" It's not a private job, Osaka is also a famous cultural city, and it has more heritage than Kyoto, and there are a lot of good things in the auction. ”

"Also, I just received the video over there, I'll take a look at it at night, you go home and continue to pick up the leak."

Wu Tianyuan thought for a while: "Do you have any friends by your side?" In the future, you will definitely not be busy alone, it is better to find two trustworthy people to help with the auction, and mixed-race Chinese are the best. ”

"No problem, I thought about it too, and I've already contacted three friends, all of whom are girlfriends who have played together until the end, one in Osaka, one in Nagoya, and one in Kyoto for work."

"Count your wisdom and don't let them do it in vain, there is a prize every time, and the auctions in Japan are basically held on weekends, and the frequency is not conflicting, so you should be able to catch up."

Wu Tianyuan was the first to set up a Japanese team and collect more information from small auction houses, and the smaller it was, the more it could pick up leaks. He has the ability to determine authenticity, which is his greatest strength. Even the professional team of Wanda has to go to the site in person, which is much less efficient.

The aesthetics of the Japanese are different from those in China, they attach great importance to ancient porcelain, and do not pay much attention to the blue and white of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the price of fine products is also much lower. As long as it is sure to be genuine, it is generally a cost-effective antique, Wu Tianyuan is more and more eager to evolve to the Qing Dynasty, which is a hot commodity in the domestic market.

"This is Hong Xian porcelain?"

Wu Tianyuan came home in the evening and began to watch the three auction previews that came from Osaka, and suddenly found a good thing.

"A pair of pastel celestial maiden scattered vases from the Republic of China Jurentang?"

Wu Tianyuan listened to the call of the vase in the video, and when he saw that the mark was only pastel of the Republic of China, he was happy, this is probably another leak.

During the Republic of China, with the demise of the feudal imperial system, "official kiln" has become a historical term. After 1916, Jingdezhen porcelain was mainly watercolor and pastel, and Guo Shiwu's imperial porcelain at that time became a rare treasure pursued by modern collectors, known as "Hongxian porcelain".

According to the "Jingdezhen Historical Manuscript", "Antiques and Old Texts" and other works, after Guo Shiwu went to Jingdezhen to serve as the general supervisor of pottery, he invited the masters of all aspects of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Kiln Factory to choose the Hubei Hall in Jingdezhen City as the porcelain painting workshop. Yan Ruzhen, a famous ceramicist, was responsible for the firing, and a batch of high-grade porcelain - pastel and enamel were fired.

The place where the president lives is Jurentang in Zhongnanhai, so the porcelain burned is the red seal script "Jurentang System" and "Jurentang". But Yuan Shikai went against the trend of history, and only served as emperor for 83 days before he died. There are not many "Hongxian porcelain" burned, and the ones that have been handed down are even rarer, which can be described as rare.

"In addition to Zhushan Bayou, even if Hongxian porcelain is distinctive, the base price of this vase is only 200,000 yen, which is an absolute big leak."

"Hongxian year" model for this workshop master to use the remaining porcelain clay made, lasted nearly two years, survived more and limited circulation is still a treasure. However, after the reform and opening up, there are a large number of imitations, and the level is getting worse and worse, and there are many high imitations in China, so there are very few genuine products.

In the early years, domestic collectors only paid attention to Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, and disdained the Republic of China.

"It just so happens that Liu Meizi is going home, let her participate in the auction, in addition to a pair of vases, there is also a Guanyin bottle that is also Juren's model, and we will take it together."

Wu Tianyuan watched the video again, and locked a total of four Juren models, as well as several fine snuff bottles in the Republic of China, all of which were small leaks. Write down the number and let Yumiko take a picture.

"In the middle of next month, we will hold a special exhibition of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting, mainly in cooperation with Xijing. I have here a full set of porcelain plates of Zhushan Bayou, plus these four pieces of Hongxian porcelain, as well as more than a dozen ancient coins, with Kuping's exhibition. It's also a special show, I didn't expect me to be able to take charge so soon? ”

Wu Tianyuan was a little proud, and after developing the ability to pick up leaks overseas, the efficiency was very high. It's a great feeling to be in control without leaving home. His subordinates collected video footage and participated in the auction at the same time. Every time you come down, you can make a big gain, and you can make at least two or three times the profit.

Compared with the initial investment, he became more and more obsessed with this feeling of strategizing, the first stop was Japan, and the next step was other countries. According to statistics, there are 1.67 million first- and second-class cultural relics lost overseas, scattered in 47 countries and 217 museums.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, some people have estimated that at least 10 million cultural relics have been smuggled out of the country, half of which are export products, that is, used to earn foreign exchange in ancient times, and the remaining millions are looted because of war, and a larger part are smuggled out of the motherland.

"In the future, I will set up a worldwide leak-picking team, and since God gave me this ability, I want to undertake this mission. Kuping one or two is my first official collection, but also a unique piece, after the establishment of a museum, treasures collection exhibition, other auctions to the destined people, make money and then continue to pick up leaks, in order to hide and raise, a virtuous circle.

In fact, the real big collectors are in the way of collecting and raising, at the beginning while learning to collect, with the improvement of aesthetics and vision, continue to sell general products, collect fine products, and finally establish their own collection system and personal characteristics.

100 pieces of general products are not as good as a boutique is this truth, people will only remember who has heavy weapons and unique products, as for you have a room of currency, no one cares.

The collection is reasonable, five words, rare is expensive! The more rare the more valuable, the more collectible and appreciative space, which is also the reason why Song and Yuan Dynasty calligraphy, painting and porcelain are the most expensive. The fact that there is only one in ten thousand that can be handed down, coupled with the integrity of the condition, can only be achieved through the continuous inheritance of generations of collectors.

"Since I have special abilities, I must have a higher vision. Except for a very small number of their own collections, they are all used to make money at auction and accumulate capital and fame. In the future, there are national treasures waiting for me, one is a complete set of treasures, and the other is a unique product, and these two are the standards I should pursue. ”

Wu Tianyuan roughly determined his own collection direction and system in the future, after all, he is a professional, there are many senior collectors around him, there are many detours, whether it is the aesthetic level, or the eyesight is rapidly improving. Once you have a clear direction, you can succeed if you keep working hard.
