Jin Muchen took the set of porcelain, looked at the big shopkeeper and said.
And the big shopkeeper was already in a state of dead ashes at this time, and now it's over, and the young man on the other side is really an expert.
Shen Qingwen's face was also quite ugly at this time, he and Hu Xuefeng were not on the right path, but he wouldn't have trouble with money when he went.
If this set of porcelain is really a set of Liling Taizu porcelain as Jin Muchen said, the price will immediately turn upside down, not to mention that if it is really as this kid said, this set of porcelain is not a set of porcelain for daily use, but a set of ornamental porcelain, then it is even more terrible.
Even if he Shen Qingwen is a second master, he also knows that in the antique industry, ornamental porcelain is much more valuable than practical porcelain!
And the big shopkeeper in front of him, whether he is shallow or not, or he doesn't have to work hard, anyway, this is a great opportunity for them to make money!
Hu Xuefeng, this guy, he couldn't be clearer, they are also college classmates for a few years, this guy's hometown seems to be from Liling, Xiangnan, and he is also the kind of poor jingle ring.
This guy is a top student, and he has even received invitations and full scholarships from several universities in the United States, but even so, he is now so poor that he can't even afford the airfare, even if he gets the invitation and scholarship, what is the use?
The reason why he came to the pawnshop today to make this set of Taizu porcelain was because he was forced to be cornered, so he could only choose to be this set of Taizu porcelain to make up the air ticket money for himself. and the cost of living just landed in the United States.
If he buys this set of Taizu porcelain in his own pawnshop. That's definitely death. Within a few years, he will definitely not be able to scrape together the money for this set of porcelain to redeem this set of Taizu porcelain, once it becomes a dead pawn, then this set of Taizu porcelain is not his own treasure?
Besides, even if he can scrape together the money to redeem this set of porcelain, once this porcelain is really in his own hands, does he still want to redeem it so easily?
That's a dream. When the time comes, I can completely let him taste what it is called meat buns and beating dogs.
It's a pity that none of this is possible now, it's all because of the thin bamboo pole in front of me!
It is precisely because of him that he made his tirade just now a joke in the eyes of everyone, and Shen Qingwen was excited because he had the opportunity to show off in front of so many people, he was already in the limelight, and this was a rare opportunity for him.
But that thought. The big set of rhetoric he just made himself a laughing stock in the eyes of the audience?
Come to think of it. Shen Qingwen couldn't help glaring at the thin bamboo pole behind him viciously, which was regarded as holding a grudge against him, and then he didn't talk nonsense, pushed away the crowd with a cold face, and walked outside.
That thin bamboo pole didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so he could only follow behind Shen Qingwen and get out of the crowd.
Jin Muchen turned his head and looked at Hu Xuefeng with a smile, at this time he was still flushed, but this time, he blushed not because he was squeezed by Shen Qingwen, but because of excitement.
"Haha, this is not the place to talk, there is a café in front, I invite you to coffee, and I can just transfer the money to you."
Jin Muchen looked at his watch, just at the time he had made an appointment with Candace, and there was still an hour, so he simply pointed to a café not far from the end of the street and said to Lulu and Hu Xuefeng, and the two of them nodded and agreed busily.
When they arrived at the café, several people began to greet each other for a short time, and then Jin Muchen wrote a check for four million to this Hu Xuefeng.
Hu Xuefeng looked at the numbers on the check and the series of zeros, and was in a daze, but soon his face became a little hesitant.
Although he is a wooden person, he is not stupid, he doesn't know the person in front of him, so can he trust the check he wrote?
"Don't worry, Mr. Jin is a big celebrity in the antique industry, four million is a drop in the bucket for him, he can't fool you."
Lulu next to him said with a smile, Hu Xuefeng couldn't trust Jin Muchen, but he could trust Lulu, as soon as Lulu said this, he was very relieved to put the check in his arms.
"Haha, it's really a coincidence, I only saw you in the capital two days ago, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, I met you again in Puhai, I thought you were already working, but I didn't expect you to be a student!"
Jin Muchen asked Lulu with a smile, this Lulu also had a very good impression of him, and asked rhetorically with a little coquettishness.
"Mr. Kim, do people look that old? Where am I not like a student? ”
"Huh! We all know each other, don't say Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin, just call me Brother Jin for your face. ”
"Alright then, Brother Jin......"
Then the two sides chatted, and after this chat, Jin Muchen learned that the girl opposite was called Han Lulu, the granddaughter of Han Kaishan, the founder of Agarwood Pavilion, and Hu Xuefeng, as well as the annoying Shen Qingwen, were all classmates, and they were all now students in the senior year of Puhai Aurora University.
Hu Xuefeng also regained his calm at this time, so he didn't speak as badly as he stuttered before, and Jin Muchen also talked to him about the origin of this set of porcelain.
This question couldn't help but scare him, it turned out that this kid was born in a porcelain family, his father's lineage and his mother's lineage, they were both porcelain families in Liling back then.
Later, after liberation, he was recruited by the government, and both families entered the Liling Qunli Porcelain Factory to work, because his grandfather was highly skilled, and even was recruited into a professional scientific research team, and this team was specially designed to produce and manufacture porcelain for Taizu.
In fact, the porcelain produced by Qunli Porcelain Factory for Taizu was not particularly particular, because Taizu's body was okay at that time, and there was no special demand for porcelain for daily use.
Until 1974, Taizu was already old, so Qunli Porcelain Factory would spend so much effort to produce a batch of high-quality porcelain for Taizu, and ornamental porcelain.
At that time, in order to produce that batch of porcelain, a lot of energy was spent, and even the province specially approved a part of the 'Hongjiang big ball mud' that only a few tons remained to produce this set of porcelain.
This kind of porcelain clay is unique to Xiangnan, and the amount of survival is very small, there are only a few tons left at that time, and now this 'Hongjiang big ball mud' has been mined out, a batch left as a strategic reserve, it is shouted out by some porcelain manufacturing enterprises, the price is more expensive than gold, now this kind of porcelain clay, in the porcelain industry, but has the reputation of mud gold.
Moreover, in order to produce this batch of porcelain, in order to ensure that the porcelain is non-toxic and does not contain toxic metals such as lead and chromium, a special painting technique for underglaze colors and a new firing process were specially created, which produced this batch of Taizu porcelain.
Later, 7501 porcelain is based on this batch of Liling Taizu porcelain as the prototype, designed and manufactured, not to mention that the white porcelain should be as white as jade, the beam is like a mirror, thin as paper, and the sound is like a chime.
However, I heard that the process of imitation is not very smooth, because the porcelain clay used is different, so the batch of 7501 production and manufacturing is more difficult, especially when using underglaze colorful technology to paint, in order to apply red glaze, but it takes a lot of effort, no matter what pigment is used, it is cracked anyway, and in the end it can only be found out a new set of firing process, which solves the problem.
At that time, a total of more than 20,000 such Taizu porcelain were produced, and the relevant units, from more than 20,000 pieces, picked up a total of more than 40 fine products, and the cost price was only one piece of three cents and two, and now the price of such Taizu porcelain is likely to increase thousands of times.
The rest has been destroyed, except for the rewards to those involved in the production and manufacture of this batch of porcelain, a few pieces per person.
And the set of porcelain in front of him is a part of Hu Xuefeng's grandfather back then, plus a set he made after he used other porcelain and replaced it with his colleagues at the time.
In the case that the last batch of Liling Taizu porcelain has been sung, this set of Liling Taizu porcelain is particularly precious.
Hu Xuefeng explained the origin of this set of Taizu porcelain to Jin Muchen, but while talking, his eyes actually moistened.
It turned out that he blamed himself for not having the ability, and for the sake of such a little money, he actually sold the heirloom left by his grandfather.
It turned out that after the reopening, the Qunli porcelain factory was also not as good as a year, and was soon squeezed out of food by the private porcelain factory in Jingdezhen, and a group of people were forced to be laid off, and his elderly parents were among them.
Over the years, his parents have been doing business by setting up a stall to raise him, but a few years ago, his father hollowed out the family's old foundation because of a serious illness, so he has been in college so hard in recent years.
"Hey! Forget it, don't think about it, I think your grandfather left this set of porcelain back then, didn't he just hope that it would be able to save your family one day in the future? Now that you have this money, you don't have to worry so much, you can settle your parents first, and then go to the United States lightly, with this money as a foundation, your life in the United States should not be so sad. You must know that the consumption over there is not low, even if you have a full scholarship, but if you want to be able to eat and drink without worry, and study quietly, it is not so easy, and you have to go out to work, which can affect the efficiency of learning. ”
Jin Muchen patted Hu Xuefeng's shoulder and comforted him and said, Hu Xuefeng also nodded, he also wanted to open, not to mention that he was not interested in the family's porcelain-making skills, otherwise he would not have chosen to go to the United States.
"By the way, what school did you go to in the United States? What major? ”
Jin Muchen asked casually, he had a good impression of Hu Xuefeng, a scholar, honest, and a simple child, although this guy may be older than him...... (To be continued......)
