Chapter 360: The Mystery of "Seven Treasure Burning" (Part I)
"Brother Yi, you want to buy this porcelain from us?!" Curator Zuo was surprised.
Shopkeeper Yun, Master Fu and others were also surprised that Yi Yang was willing to spend two million to recycle the pastel porcelain.
Before it was determined that something was a semi-fake, it was impossible to buy it for two million, but at this time and then, the thing had turned into a defective product, which could no longer be called porcelain, but only a fragment, so that the value was of course greatly discounted, and two million was undoubtedly a very high price.
"Yes." Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said, "I want to buy, I hope you can think about it." ”
Curator Zuo smiled bitterly and said, "You can afford it, but this porcelain has become like this, so it's worth so much money?" How can we be embarrassed to make your money? ”
Yi Yang said seriously: "I am sincere, I have no other meaning." To be honest, I admire that patriot, although the porcelain he received and donated is not genuine and has great defects, his spirit is very worth learning. I was touched by his spirit, so I wanted to learn from him.
"Besides, some people may know that I like to collect all kinds of porcelain tiles, and this fragment is relatively complete, and I am very optimistic, so it can be said that it is worth the money for me personally."
"Brother Yi, we are very relieved and grateful that you can think so!" Curator Zuo said a little excitedly, "But we still don't want you to suffer, let's do whatever it is, we still have to collect it well, and we can't live up to the enthusiasm of that patriot." ”
When they heard Yi Yang's heartfelt words, the others present were also moved, and they all secretly admired Yi Yang's generosity.
In fact, Yi Yang is really helping Curator Zuo and them, and only when things are in his hands can they realize their true value, and if they stay in the museum, they will only be a piece of porcelain, and they will never be able to ascend to the hall of elegance.
Yi Yang shook his head and said, "I didn't suffer. Director Zuo, I hope you will think about it. ”
He sincerely asked again, but Curator Zuo just said: "Let's talk about this matter later, it's not for me to be the master alone." ”
Yi Yang nodded and responded: "Well, it's not too late, let's talk about it later." ”
"Brother Yi, please help me take a look at other things." Curator Zuo immediately diverted the topic and asked Yi Yang to continue to help them identify cultural relics.
In addition to those two heavy weapons, Curator Zuo also brought other antiques, all of which were controversial and uncertain.
"No problem." Yi Yang readily agreed.
At that moment, he continued to appraise the cultural relics to Curator Zuo, and after careful inspection, he found that the rest of the cultural relics brought were fine, and they were undoubtedly genuine.
After hearing Yi Yang's affirmation, Director Zuo and other museum personnel finally showed a rare smile on their faces.
Master Fu and Shopkeeper Yun, the audience was also happy for them, and finally nothing went wrong.
In addition to appraising the cultural relics for the museum, Yi Yang also helped Lao Liao and other people who came to participate in the appraisal exchange meeting to identify some antiques.
At about 12 o'clock, the exchange meeting ended.
"Curator Zuo, I hope you can think about that matter just now."
When everyone left one after another, Yi Yang suddenly greeted Curator Zuo.
That broken porcelain was a huge treasure to him, and he naturally wouldn't watch it pass by him, but would only fight for it.
Curator Zuo said: "Okay, after I go back, I will discuss it with the people in the museum, and at the same time, I have to ask for the opinions of the treasure donors." ”
"Well, that's as it should be." Yi Yang nodded and said, "I'm waiting for your news, I hope you can reply to me as much as possible, because you also know that maybe we will leave tomorrow, and we will go to Shaanxi with Teacher Fu and them to go to Shaanxi for archaeology." ”
Curator Zuo smiled: "Hehe, of course I know this." Rest assured, we will give you an exact reply in the fastest possible time. ”
"Okay, then we'll wait for the good news." Yi Yang said happily.
Later, he personally sent Curator Zuo and them out and watched them go away.
"Brother Yi Yang, do you really want to buy that damaged porcelain?" After Curator Zuo and the others drove away, Bai Wenchao, who was following Yi Yang's side, asked.
Yi Yang nodded vigorously and said, "Of course, is there still a fake?" ”
Bai Wenchao said: "But that piece of porcelain is really badly damaged, and there is no bottom foot, and for an official kiln porcelain, without a bottom foot, it is basically not an official kiln, because the style often falls on the sole of the foot, without the style knowledge, then how can it be proved?" ”
Yi Yang said: "Although I said that, the upper part of that porcelain is indeed genuine, and it is genuine Qianlong official kiln porcelain. ”
Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "Well, I believe this, but your two million is indeed a bit higher." ”
Yi Yang smiled slightly: "For the sincerity of that patriot, only two million, why bother?" I'm just showing a little bit of my heart, and it's the heart that counts. ”
"Well, I see." Bai Wenchao quickly understood what Yi Yang meant, and knew that the price was a little bit of Yi Yang's intention to Director Zuo and their museum, not that he really wanted to pay a "sky-high price" of two million for that piece of porcelain.
After knowing Yi Yang's thoughts, Bai Wenchao only admired it and didn't ask anything more.
Then the two turned around and returned to "Gu Baotang".
Inside the store, Shopkeeper Yun and Master Fu were waiting for Yi Yang.
"Xiao Yi, it's half past twelve, it's not early, you helped everyone identify so many things, you must be hungry, let's go eat first." When he walked over, the cloud shopkeeper greeted him warmly.
Yi Yang nodded and agreed, "Well, okay, let's talk about it after eating." ”
After a busy morning, his stomach was indeed empty, and he needed to fill it.
The cloud shopkeeper smiled: "It's a great honor to invite you to help you with your palms today, you have given me a lot of face, so I have to treat you to a good meal!" ”
Yi Yang hurriedly shook his head and said: "Cloud shopkeeper, you are polite, in fact, I feel very honored to be able to communicate face-to-face with so many of your experts, so this meal should be my invitation, everyone go." ”
"How?" The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The person who comes is a guest, you come to me, how can there be any reason to let the guest invite you to dinner?" Today, I am the east, and I would like to invite you to enjoy your face and gather together. ”
"Well, then it's better to be respectful." Yi Yang nodded.
Inviting guests is a trivial matter, and he doesn't need to push back and forth with the cloud shopkeeper, if he is too polite, it will look a little hypocritical.
After saying yes, the shopkeeper Yun invited Yi Yang and the others to a relatively antique restaurant at the entrance of the antique street, where they were entertained with good wine and food.
At the banquet, Shopkeeper Yun, Master Fu and others kept toasting to Yi Yang, if it weren't for the amount of wine that had been practiced, Yi Yang would have drunk it a long time ago.
After three rounds of drinking, Yi Yang suddenly received a phone call, looking at the caller ID on the screen, it was a stranger's call.
"Hey, who are you?" Yi Yang didn't think much about it, and pressed the answer button easily.
"Good, good!" I only heard a deep and excited man's voice on the other end of the phone, and the voice should be a middle-aged man about fifty years old.
The voice sounded very unfamiliar, and Yi Yangneng definitely didn't know each other.
"What do you mean?" Yi Yang was puzzled, "Who are you looking for?" ”
He also said that someone made the wrong call, otherwise how could he say such a strange thing as soon as he opened his mouth, it was simply inexplicable.
The man exhaled and said, "You are Brother Yi Yangyi, right?" ”
"Yes." Yi Yang responded, "Who are you?" ”
The other party actually called out his name, and it seemed that the other party knew him, and he may have come to admire him.
I only heard the man reply, and his tone softened a little: "My name is Zewen, I live in London now, and I am a British-Chinese. Maybe you haven't heard my name, but you should remember that piece of porcelain......"
"That Qianlong official kiln pastel beast venerable was taken by you abroad, right?" Before the other party could finish speaking, Yi Yang spoke.
"Yes, I took that piece of porcelain and handed it to the Yunkun Museum." Sure enough, the man admitted.
Yi Yang said: "It's a pity, there is something wrong with things. ”
The man said: "Director Zuo has already called me to tell me about this matter, it's really a pity, I thought I had done a good thing for the museum in my hometown, who knows...... Hey~~"
He sighed faintly, and Yi Yang hurriedly comforted: "You have already done a good deed, that is a piece of your heart, and your heart has already been delivered, and the museum will remember you." Mr. Ze, I'm sorry, Director Zuo, they asked me to appraise it, so I told them the truth......"
"Oh, no!" Zewen hurriedly said, "You can't blame you for this, you are also kind." I really admire you, you can actually see the problem, when I bought that porcelain before, I don't know how many experts I invited to look at it, and specially invited a retired expert from the Palace Museum to fly to London for identification, but they didn't see any problems, so I bought it, but who knew that there was still a problem, and the problem was very strict! ”
Yi Yang said: "It's not that you are not optimistic, but that the people who cheat are too clever to confuse the real with the fake." ”
Zewen smiled bitterly: "In the final analysis, it's our lack of eyesight, so that's what we do!" It would be nice if you all had such a good vision, and you would not be afraid of counterfeiters taking advantage of loopholes. Brother Yi, I have to thank you for speaking of which! ”
"How?" Yi Yang was shocked.
Zewen said with a smile: "Because I was still trying to shoot a piece of porcelain, and that porcelain was from the hand of the previous boss, now I don't have to think about it, I can give up completely." ”
Yi Yang agreed: "Well, it's better to be careful." ”
Zewen said: "To be honest, I also love antique collection, I opened a small antique shop here, I don't know when you can come to London, hehe, I want to ask you for advice." ”
Yi Yang replied, "I will go in the future, and I will visit you when the time comes." ”
He has such a magical ability, of course, picking up Taobao is not limited to China, but should go abroad, march to the world, and search for foreign treasures.
