Chapter 641: Terracotta Figurines
This Lu Zhengguo was also magnificent, and agreed to Jin Muchen's request without much thought.
In fact, there are several reasons why he agreed so happily.
The first is that his identity is particularly sensitive, although it has been ten years since he fled back from Japan, but he doesn't dare to show his face outside at all, what he is afraid of is that Kobayashi Kyosuke's 'friends' in China.
He had learned the power of those guys, he had already fled to the capital at that time, and he thought that when he arrived in China, he would be able to sleep in peace, but he didn't think that those guys would finally find him, if he hadn't been alert enough that time, maybe he would have become an unknown missing person now.
The second reason is that if he wants to get these things to Japan on his own, it is quite a difficult thing, and the antique smuggling investigation in China is quite strict.
Although the Yaobian Tianmu bowl he made can only be regarded as a handicraft strictly speaking, but in the current situation that no one in the country has been able to successfully replicate this kind of bowl, as long as such a thing appears on the market, it will definitely be recognized as genuine, in that case, it will cause a lot of trouble.
And the most critical point is that because of his identity, he can't stand up and clarify, once he attracts the attention of people with a heart, it will be troublesome for others to find their Nanshishan Village.
Not only will he face the danger of his identity being exposed, but more importantly, it will make the whole village unlucky with him, after all, this village specializes in the shady business of making and selling counterfeits.
If it is exposed, it will ruin the jobs of the whole village, and he himself will be unlucky. He wasn't scared. But the whole village had to be unlucky. He just couldn't let it go.
Therefore, he must not dare to risk his life, and if he wants to get this thing to Japan and disrupt the Japanese antique market, he must find someone who can be trusted and capable.
He usually doesn't dare to show his face, and the few buyers he knows don't have such strength, so he can only choose the Jim boss with a mysterious background in front of him.
After Li Lao Liu and Jin Muchen reached a deal yesterday. I called him and said that this person was quite powerful.
In addition, he had also heard of the reputation of Sister Tao, that was a big man who used to dominate Xiangjiang, and the boss of such a big man must be a man with good hands and eyes, so he thought of asking Jin Muchen to help him do this.
Now this guy wants this batch of goods for nothing, although he is a little hesitant in his heart, but he can only bet on this one. Otherwise, in this life, he wants to avenge his family. There may be little hope.
In this way, the two reached a cooperation agreement under the condition of each having a ghost.
Lu Zhengguo can only gamble, betting that Jin Muchen has that strength, and for Jin Muchen, he has to go to Japan sooner or later anyway, and with these things by his side, then this trip to Japan will definitely be much easier.
At the same time that the two sides reached a deal, Sister Tao on the other side also selected almost the same, she selected a total of about dozens of beautifully made porcelain, and Lu Zhengguo was not polite to Sister Tao this time.
Although Sister Tao was a guest at his cousin's house, he had already handed over those Yao Chang Tianmu bowls to Jin Muchen for nothing, so he couldn't give Sister Tao these porcelains for nothing this time.
So this time he asked Sister Tao for a total of 300,000 yuan, a total of about 40 pieces of porcelain, the asking price is 300,000 yuan, and they are all fakes, to be honest, his asking price is really not cheap.
However, considering that his fakes are really beautiful, and almost all of them are fake and real products, Jin Muchen and Sister Tao did not continue to bargain with him, and directly agreed to his offer.
Anyway, Jin Muchen is not bad for money now, considering that Sister Tao had promised to give up all the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty to herself yesterday, Jin Muchen made a favor this time and paid the money for her.
And when Lu Zhengguo saw Jin Muchen, he took out hundreds of thousands, just like spending dozens of yuan, without blinking his eyes, and his heart was even more bottomed, it seems that the sixth child really didn't brag, this guy still has some strength.
After the transaction on both sides was completed, the goods were packed, and Lu Zhengguo sent a few people to help send these things back to the Li family's mansion, and most of the days had passed.
The group had lunch in the Li family's compound, and then continued to go out in the afternoon.
Sister Tao is also ruthless, it is not easy for her to come to southern Henan, this time of course, she has to buy enough goods to go back, and she took those porcelains in Lu Zhengguo in the morning, she can be said to have gained a lot, those fakes with exquisite workmanship, to deal with those American foreign devils, it can be said that it is enough.
However, she was still not satisfied, just getting these porcelains was not enough for her, and it was better to get a few pieces of pottery, and it would be more pleasant to go back.
After all, for those foreigners with half a bucket of water, pottery is much older than porcelain, and they don't mind spending a lot of money on pottery if it's beautifully made.
And you must know that in China, the price of pottery is far less than porcelain, and because of this, pottery will be very cheap to buy in China, but once it is in China, the price of pottery will soar rapidly, especially those pottery that is older.
Of course, this is the authenticity, and in the case of a fake, the older the imitation of the pottery, the better it will be for her.
For a village that encompasses any aspect of antique counterfeiting, how could they not have pottery?
After listening to Sister Tao's request, the sixth child of the Li family quickly helped them find a suitable seller, and this seller was Wei Quanshui, who was famous for making pottery in their village.
This unattractive farmer is a master of pottery, and the technology that has been passed down by his ancestors for hundreds of years has made the pottery of the same level as the porcelain made by Lu Zhengguo who they visited in the morning.
The Wei family's courtyard is also in the southern suburbs of Nanshishan Village, but the courtyard is much larger than Lu Zhengguo's, there are many more helpers in it, and their kiln is larger.
When Li Lao Liu took them in, it was a hot scene inside, and as soon as he entered the yard, he could feel the heat on his face, Li Lao Liu was also a familiar hand, and when he smelled the smell of soot in the air, he said to Jin Muchen and the two of them with a smile.
"It's just the right time for us to come today, Lao Wei has just opened the kiln."
Li Lao Liu led the way, Jin Muchen and Sister Tao followed closely behind, both of them were very happy, wanting to see what good things were burned in this kiln.
However, to their disappointment, Li Lao Liu did not take them to the kiln, but took them to the three-story building near the gate of the courtyard, and then took them upstairs and went directly to an office on the top floor.
After about half an hour, a guy dressed more like a farmer entrepreneur came upstairs, but as soon as this guy entered the office, he was a grizzled image, and when he saw a few people sitting in his office, he first said hello to Li Lao Liu with a smile, and then nodded with Jin Muchen and Sister Tao, and then went into the bathroom inside to wash his face.
Soon when this person came out again, Jin Muchen and the two of them could see the image of this guy clearly, he was not tall, wearing a double-breasted suit, and he looked more like a simple peasant entrepreneur no matter how he looked at it.
"Lao Wei, these are my two friends, but they are quite powerful bosses, they heard that the terracotta figurines you made are very good, so they want to buy some goods. Don't fool around, that good stuff is out. ”
This Li Lao Liu was real, and when he came up, he said to the farmer entrepreneur, this Wei Quanshui is obviously an acquaintance with him, and he didn't say anything, just smiled.
"Don't worry, since it's your friend, that's my friend, I'll take you to see the goods."
This guy is a cool guy, and he talks crunchyly.
Lao Wei got up, Jin Muchen and Sister Tao didn't sit still, and the group followed him straight to the warehouse downstairs, and when they entered the warehouse, they could smell the smell of freshly baked porcelain clay.
raised his eyes to look, but Jin Muchen and Sister Tao were startled, only to see that the room was full of rows of black pressed pottery.
Unlike the white porcelain I have seen before, these pottery are all gray, some are gray, some are gray and red, and there is a sense of heaviness that is completely different from porcelain.
Jin Muchen didn't know much about pottery, but these pottery were just a glance, and he knew that this Li Lao Liu didn't tell a lie, and this Wei Quanshui was really a pottery master.
Because these pottery, just looking at the shape, you can feel the simple and full temperament, and the pottery that he saw on the stall in the past is very different from the ordinary pottery that glows with thief light, and these pottery can be seen at a glance to be carefully crafted.
The first thing that can be seen is that the shape of these terracotta figurines is absolutely in accordance with the ancient system, one by one imitation, and those that have been seen before, shoddy, and even imaginary terracotta figurines can be completely different.
What makes Jin Muchen feel the most eye-catching is the row of half-meter-high gray lady terracotta figurines in it, the number of terracotta figurines in this row is the least one in this warehouse, other types of terracotta figurines, the same product, are often dozens, or even dozens, but this kind of ladies terracotta figurines only look like five or six.
And these ladies' terracotta figurines, just looking at the shape, are dignified in shape, and at a glance they have a rush of righteousness and luxury, obviously the prototype of such terracotta figurines is not something that ordinary people can afford.
These terracotta figurines, each about half a meter high, have smiling faces, and the costumes they wear are also ancient ornaments, which make people feel that they can't leave their eyes. (To be continued.) )
