Chapter 349: Turning the Heart Bottle
Back at the hotel, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, Li Yi carefully calculated for a while, if he could transport all the timber he gambled in Vietnam last time, plus the pear pattern red sandalwood he put in Wang Haoqing, plus the 100 million he invested in advance, then, wouldn't all the 500 million that Lanzhu required to be in place within three months be solved at the beginning?
The plan was decided, and he called Gu Feng to the room.
"Crazy, I'm going to let Zheng Shusen come over here tomorrow, and then the two of you will go to Vietnam again to help me get those mahogany things done, the sooner the better."
"In addition, there are a few things you must pay attention to, you must be careful when cutting the red sandalwood, try to minimize the vibration, and you must bring it back with you, and you must also pay attention to the ...... when transporting it."
After a long explanation, Gu Feng was sent away, and Li Yi began to check information on the Internet. Since he has decided to support Lan Zhu's big plan, then, his current capital alone is far from enough, he must go to gambling stones to make money.
At first, Li Yi planned to go to Yingjiang Tengchong to gamble on stones, but what he aimed at was not the wool materials that were sold publicly on the market, but the wool that the local farmers had smashed in their hands for more than ten years and could not sell.
The reason why those wool materials have not been sold for more than ten years is definitely related to their high expectations and the appearance of the wool itself. But now, with a perspective distance of 38 centimeters, he no longer needs to gamble on the stone according to the surface of the wool, so the possibility of leakage of this wool is far greater than that of the new materials that have only been dug up in recent years.
It is said that in the local ten miles and eight townships, almost every household has a few pieces of wool, and almost all of them are old materials, and some people even estimate that if these wool materials can be collected, the amount is likely to be more than the current annual output of the major mining areas in Myanmar combined!
However, it is too late to go again, because this weekend he has to go back to Yenching to participate in the judging of the college students' calligraphy competition.
But the reason why he decided to come to Yangcheng immediately was naturally because of Lanzhu's big plan, and on the other hand, because Yangcheng is also a famous gambling stone holy land, although the price here may be slightly higher than there.
In fact, in recent years, due to the Burmese government's crackdown on wool smuggling and economic development, the distribution center of jadeite wool has gradually moved from Tengchong, Yingjiang and other places on the China-Myanmar border to Yangcheng and several satellite cities around it.
Satellite cities such as Sihui, Jieyang, and Pingzhou around Yangcheng all have large-scale jade markets, especially Pingzhou, which has become the largest jade market in China in terms of output value and the largest Burmese jade and jade distribution center in China, known as the "new jade capital"!
Moreover, as the abyss of Lingnan culture, Yangcheng, which has a long history and a very strong urban cultural atmosphere, can not only gamble on stones, but also occupy a place in its antique market in China.
In particular, the area around Xiguan in Liwan, as the source of Yangcheng's traditional commercial culture, is also a concentrated residence for cultural relics, antiques and jade markets.
In Yangcheng, not only Xiguan Antique City is one of the four famous antique cities in the country, others such as Yuansheng Ceramic Jade Craft Street, Xinyuansheng Jade Street, Hualin Jade Market, Qingping Antique Coin Market, etc., many antique jade markets, not only can meet his needs for gambling stones, but also satisfy his desire to find treasures. Hope.
Making money is important, and finding treasures is equally important, so Li Yi decided to go to the most famous Xiguan Antique City tomorrow after checking the information for a while.
In a narrow sense, Xiguan Antique City refers to the three-story building rebuilt on the new site, with a construction area of more than 7,000 square meters and a total of 250 shops.
But in fact, Xiguan Antique City refers to an antique professional street about one kilometer long, and on this street, there are many merchants and shops.
Moreover, in the nearby Longjin Road, Wenchang Road, Fengyuan Road, there are Wenjin Antique City, Lingnan Antique City, Yangcheng Antique City and several other antique markets of uneven size, echoing with Xiguan Antique City, forming a large-scale antique distribution center, and its scale is absolutely in the forefront of the country.
Compared with other antique markets in China, the Xiguan Antique Market also has a great feature, that is, there are not only nearly ten shops specializing in repatriated cultural relics, but also almost every store has repatriated cultural relics for sale.
However, this does not mean that all of them are real antiques, but they are no different from other places.
In addition to the ghost market, the general antique shops open after ten o'clock, so Li Yi, who got up early, first practiced calligraphy for more than two hours, and then came to Xiguan Antique City with a fat elephant whose wound had healed about fifty or sixty percent.
At the entrance of the antique city is a huge sandalwood-colored archway, and if you walk under the archway, you will really enter the antique city.
Because it was a weekday and they arrived relatively early, the whole antique city looked deserted, and many shops were still closed.
But it doesn't matter, as long as there is an open door.
It is a shop that deals in ancient porcelain, and although it is not open enough, it is very deep.
Li Yi went in and just looked at a few shelves, and then became interested, the goods in this house are very miscellaneous, almost all imitations of any dynasty are available, look for them carefully, maybe you can really find some good things.
After reading it all the way, he soon fell in love with a pastel-painted gold-painted hollow dragon pattern turnaround bottle.
This turnaround bottle is very beautiful, about 30 centimeters high, the skimming mouth and the upper and lower parts of the bottle body and the ring foot are dark brown gold patterns, the bottle body is large and small, the middle part is a light hollow, two pink dragons look at each other, the composition is very exquisite.
The inner bottle, the outer bottle and the base are fired separately, and then through the bottom of the outer bottle and the bottom of the inner bottle, the chicken heart-shaped groove at the bottom of the inner bottle, the two bottles are connected together.
There are ornaments on the inner and outer bottles of the inner and outer bottles, and the outer bottles are hollowed out, so that when the inner bottle is turned, you can pass through the guò perforations and see different pictures, which are as beautiful as a marquee.
Because the button and the groove must be absolutely consistent, the drying rate of the outer and inner bottles, as well as the shrinkage rate after firing, must be taken into account when firing. If you don't pay attention to it, there is a problem with the fit between the button and the slot, even if you have worked hard in the front, it will be in vain.
Therefore, the cost of making zuò bottles is very huge, and it is often "one in a hundred" and "one in a thousand".
A good turnaround bottle, even if it is a fake, has great collectible value.
This turnaround bottle is a good imitation, Li Yi carefully checked that there was no defect, and directly bought it for 70,000 yuan.
"Sir, there is another genuine item in my store, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Oh? Real guys? You have to be interested, boss, take it out and see it. ”
The boss smiled and nodded, and let Li Yi and the fat elephant into a small room next to them.
This room is not big, no more than 10 square meters, and the layout is very simple. However, Li Yi just glanced at it and found that the few bottles that seemed to be placed at random here did not seem to be too simple, especially the porcelain fetal painting enamel plate bottle with yellow ground placed on the wooden flower table in the corner, which was more than half a person high, was very much like a treasure with a wide open door.
Seeing Li Yi walk to the corner and look at the plate bottle, the boss smiled, turned around and went out to get his genuine heart bottle.
The bottle in front of Li Yi is yellow all over the ground, the mouth of the bottle is wide and thick, dark cyan, and there is a narrow stripe painted with gold in the middle.
The neck of the bottle is about 10 centimeters long, and below the bottleneck, there is also a circle of dark blue wide edges, and between the two wide edges, there is a colorful folded peony pattern.
Beneath the second wide rim is a hanging bottle, on which is a beautiful picture of two birds with flowers and feathers resting and foraging in the long grass.
The composition of this painting is exquisite, the color value is gorgeous, and the coordination of collocation is so good that even if it becomes a work of color painting and calligraphy, it can be called the top grade, but at this moment it appears on the surface of a piece of porcelain, which can be called precious.
Such a valuable thing is placed in the reception room so casually...... Could it be that he has lost his eyes, and this is actually an imitation?
Li Yi picked up the bottle, first glanced at the style, for the six-character regular script double-row blue and white model in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and then glanced at the fetal material exposed at the foot of the circle, and then activated the spirit card.
In an instant, a mellow cool air poured into his body, this is really a genuine product in the Kangxi period!
Li Yi put down the plate bottle, carefully observed the layout of the room, and went to the other bottles in the room to check it carefully, and already had the answer in his heart, but he was afraid that the boss of this house would look away.
It's just that this one is obviously a big open, and he is definitely not the only master who has come to this reception room, how can no one recognize this bottle when it is placed here like this?
After waiting for another two minutes, the boss was late with a cardboard box, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled first:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just now there happened to be a guest outside to pick up the goods, so I was delayed for a while, I'm sorry."
Li Yi smiled and nodded, wondering in his heart that he didn't know how much money the boss had made from that business just now, and whether it was enough to compensate for the bottle that he was about to pick up later......
The boss invited Li Yi to sit down at the small round table, then opened the carton and carefully took out a yellow ground pastel hollow dry branch character elephant ear heart bottle.
This turn-the-heart bottle is obviously different from the imitation that Li Yi just bought, the former is slender and long, this one is short and fat, the former is almost completely hollowed out of the entire bottle body, and this one is only hollowed out of 4 groups of four groups of four seasons garden scenery windows.
The most important thing is that in the collocation and application of pastel, you may not feel much when you look at one piece alone, but compared with the two, you can look forward to it, and the one that comes out of the back is not only more harmonious and wonderful, but also very strange, and it gives him a real feeling.
Another big open!
