Chapter 226 Even if you have a lot of wealth, you can't beat your porcelain
The two brothers were ecstatic, the bottle was sold for a good price beyond imagination, but they didn't expect that even this old mahogany box could be sold for a high price of 50,000 yuan, which was really unexpected!
Fu Ying had cash in his bag, and he didn't even have to go to the bank, so he took it out and handed it over to the two brothers.
Then the two brothers opened the wooden box and carefully took out the large porcelain bottle, the younger brother simply took off his clothes and wrapped the bottle, then hugged it tightly in his arms, and walked out of the hall with Shangguan Mingyue.
Zhou Xuan smiled and held the wooden box in his arms, the weight was only about five kilograms at most, almost the weight of the mahogany box, and the Ru porcelain in the dark grid did not weigh anything.
When he walked out of the hall, Zhou Xuan noticed that Wu Jianguo's people in the corner also followed, but Zhou Xuan looked at them as if they didn't mean to follow him.
Wei Haihong asked, "Brother, don't you look here anymore?" I haven't seen anything good yet! ”
Zhou Xuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Hong, go back with me first, if you want to see good things, you can see them when you go back with me!" ”
went downstairs, Li Wei drove his jeep behind Wei Haihong's car, Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying took Li Wei's car, and after seeing Wu Jianguo's car drive out, Zhou Xuan picked up ice gas and probed into their car, Wu Jianguo said fiercely: "Go to Shangguan Mingyue, give her something good!" ”
Zhou Xuan unceremoniously rolled off the two rear wheels of their car, and from the reflector of his car, Wu Jianguo got out of the car and scolded, I don't know what kind of mold I touched, but the tires of the car automatically fell off several times!
On the way, Zhou Xuan thought about it, and quickly called Wei Haihong, asking his driver to drive to Panjiayuan, to their antique shop, and not to go back to Hongcheng Garden.
When they arrived at Panjiayuan, both cars were parked in the parking lot outside, and then several people returned to the Zhouzhang antique shop together.
Lao Wu and ** were there, and it was very strange to see that Zhou Xuan had brought a large group of people and was holding a mahogany box.
Zhou Xuan hugged the mahogany box and said to Lao Wu: "Old Wu, come to the inner room, I want you to see one thing for a while." ”
Lao Wu saw that Zhou Xuan was speaking mysteriously, and according to his expression, he must have found something good again, and immediately followed him excitedly.
**Hurriedly invited Wei Haihong and Li Wei to the inner room, called a few small workers out to guard the store, and Zhou Cangsong accompanied Wei Haihong's driver to sit outside.
In the room, ** turned on the headlights, and the bright lights illuminated the inside.
Zhou Xuan put the mahogany box on the table and opened the lid again.
The box was empty, there was nothing.
Lao Wu frowned, and then said, "Boss Xiao Zhou, is the good thing you are talking about this mahogany box?" Mahogany is mahogany, and its age is about 200 years, which is not very valuable, at best, it can manage 20,000 pieces, and there is nothing special! ”
This question is actually what Fu Ying, Wei Haihong and Li Wei all want to ask, but on the way, Zhou Xuan has never said it, he doesn't say it, so he can only wait.
Zhou Xuanxiang smiled and said, "Boss, find me a flat-mouthed wire knife!" ”
Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Boss Xiao Zhou, you mean...... Got a dark grid? ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and didn't answer, took the wire knife handed over, and inserted the flat mouth of the knife into the gap in the dark lattice at the bottom of the mahogany box, because there was ice gas to measure, and it would not be wrong, and now he is using ice gas to probe the Ru porcelain inside, so as not to hurt it by the edge of the wire knife.
Pry the gap a few times, the gap is bigger, and then pry hard, a panel on the surface is pried out at once, this panel is half a foot wide, about ** centimeter high, and only one centimeter thick.
But everyone's eyes were not on this small panel, but on this dark grid.
Fu Ying called out softly, and sure enough, as she expected, in the middle of the soft cloth stuffed in the dark compartment, there was a small bottle with a thin neck and a big belly about fifteen or sixteen centimeters long.
The others didn't understand porcelain, except for Zhou Xuan, who knew that this was Ru porcelain, only Lao Wu knew this, but he was stunned for a moment, suspicious in his heart, and then his hands trembled a little.
Zhou Xuan carefully took out the Ru porcelain bottle from the cloth, and then handed it to Lao Wu.
After Lao Wu took it, he held his hands in his hands, and the more he looked at his hands, the more he trembled, this action surprised **, before, even if it was Zhou Xuan's night pearl and twenty-six emeralds, Lao Wu didn't show this look!
Feeling unusual, the other people didn't speak, holding their breath and looking at the small bottle in Lao Wu's hand.
Fu Ying knew Zhou Xuan's ability, so he didn't feel surprised when he detected something in the wooden box, but Wei Haihong was a little surprised, although he didn't know much about porcelain, but the appearance of this small bottle was very attractive and colorful, and it was very pleasing to the eye, and it was so tightly hidden, it was estimated that it was also a treasure, at least it was worth more than the big bottle in the box when he first saw it.
Lao Wu looked over and over again, and the more he looked, the more excited he became, and then asked Zhou Xuan: "Boss Xiao Zhou, where did you get this thing back?" You're really amazing me more and more! ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "It was Brother Hong who asked me to participate in a treasure appreciation activity organized by a non-governmental organization, there were many people at the scene, and there were many objects, but there were almost no good things, just a porcelain vase from the late Qing Dynasty was worth hundreds of thousands, and the place where the bottle was placed was this mahogany box, I saw that this box was old mahogany, the bottle was not particularly valuable, but I made a mahogany box in the bottle, I felt strange, I originally wanted to buy it with the box and bottle, but the bottle was bought by another person, and I only bought this box. At that time, before buying it, I secretly looked at the space of the box, and I felt a little suspicious, because the other three sides of the box are single-layered, but the bottom is seven or eight centimeters thicker, which is not necessary to add this thickness at all, unreasonable, I was suspicious at the time. ”
This truth still makes sense, Fu Ying thought to herself.
Lao Wu also nodded, and then asked, "Then Boss Xiao Zhou, do you know what this bottle is when you open it now?" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled and said lightly: "Old Wu, it's a bit like Ru porcelain, don't you see?" ”
Lao Wu's hand trembled again, and he muttered a few times: "Ru porcelain, Ru porcelain......
Li Wei and Fu Ying didn't know what Ru porcelain was, but Fu Ying knew from Zhou Xuan's actions that this small bottle might be a very valuable item.
Wei Haihong was stunned and asked, "Ru porcelain?" ”
"Yes, this is a piece of Ru porcelain!" Lao Wu's voice was rarely full of excitement, "You see, this porcelain bottle is delicate and smooth, and the appearance looks like a piece of jadeite, but I know that it is not jadeite, the glaze is like agate, and the fine lines on the bottle surface are like cicada wings...... It's priceless! ”
"Priceless?" Li Wei said with a smile, "Just such a small bottle?" It is said to be a priceless treasure, but I think the so-called priceless treasure is still sold for a valuable figure in the end, let's talk about it, how much can this bottle be worth? ”
"Money?" Lao Wu snorted, "You kid knows money, let me tell you, this March, at the auction house in London, the final auction price of a piece of Northern Song Ru porcelain that is only eight centimeters high is 17.85 million pounds, and this one is twice as high as the auctioned Ru porcelain, the preciousness of Ru porcelain is not something you can imagine!" ”
Li Wei said impressively: "17.85 million pounds? Good guys, almost 200 million, worth so much money? ”
Lao Wu shook his head and sighed: "Two hundred million? This Ru porcelain is at least more than double the price, young man, do you know that even a fragment of a porcelain bottle like this can be worth millions! ”
Although Li Wei is a second-generation official and a playboy, when he heard that such a piece of fragment could be worth more than one million dollars, he was so surprised that he opened his mouth!
Of course he knows that antiques are valuable, but the more intact antiques are worth more money, he understands this truth, and if there is only one fragment of an antique that is valuable, it is not worth much, but he has never heard that a fragment can be worth millions of dollars!
"The heyday of Ru porcelain is in the Northern Song Dynasty, from the Song Weizong Chongning five years, up to the first year of Zhezong Yuanyou, this year is the highest peak of Ru porcelain, the Northern Song Dynasty royal family at that time, at all costs, ordered Ruzhou to make celadon, at that time there was still Dingzhou to make porcelain, but Dingzhou white porcelain has mang, the royal family thinks it is unusable, so it is made in Ruzhou, and therefore it is designated as the royal family's imperial supplies, since then it has been called official porcelain!"
Lao Wu couldn't let go of the Ru porcelain bottle in his hand, while explaining the history of Ru porcelain, "China has been famous for ceramic craftsmanship since ancient times, China in English, the original meaning is porcelain, so foreign countries, and even the world's understanding of China is porcelain, and China's porcelain is led by Ru porcelain in the Song Dynasty, and Ruguan porcelain is only twenty years short, because it is a royal article, it must not be circulated among the people, and because it is glazed with agate, and because it is colorful in a specific light, Bright as the stars, is considered to be too masculine, the emperor and the emperor did not dare to use it to accompany the burial, so in the excavated tomb is very few, but also makes it a rare treasure, up to now, the world's Ru porcelain surviving less than 70 pieces, even if it is a fragment that can be worth an unimaginable amount of wealth, so there is a 'even if there is a family wealth, it is better to have a piece of Ru porcelain' said! ”
looked at everyone who listened to it amazingly, including Zhou Xuan, although Zhou Xuan knew that this was Ru porcelain, and he also knew that Ru porcelain was very valuable, but he didn't know that it could be so amazing.
Lao Wu said: "For porcelain, Rujiao has the title of the world's first porcelain since ancient times, for Ru porcelain, I only saw a piece of Ru porcelain fragments in Henan more than ten years ago, in addition to the ancient palace museum has seventeen pieces, Shanghai Museum has eight pieces, in our country, there has never been another one, as the hometown and birthplace of porcelain, there are only twenty-five surviving products in total, do you say that Ru porcelain is precious or not? ”
