"This ...... These are all porcelain from China? ”

Guo Yi saw at a glance that there were four or five rows of wooden shelves in front and back, more than 20 meters long, and on each shelf, a few centimeters apart, a piece of exquisite porcelain was placed, Guo Yi did not know how many ancient Chinese porcelain there were.

In the past, I often heard Uncle Hai and some colleagues in the auction house say that the best antiques in China are all in foreign countries, although I have heard a lot, but there is no direct perception of the senses, but now seeing the scene in front of him, Guo Yi can be understood.

Porcelain is fragile, this is a clear truth, in the course of China's history for thousands of years, are accompanied by the scourge of war, and in this process, many unique fine porcelain, have been lost in the war.

Later, such as the official kiln porcelain of the Song and Ming dynasties, it was basically collected in the court of the Qing Dynasty, and it was only paid to the emperor to play and appreciate, and it was rare for the people to see it at all.

It can be said that Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were the largest collectors of antiques at that time, no way, the conditions are good, you can use the power of the country to collect the things you like, you can't accept it.

But this is also the source of the loss of cultural relics in later generations, after the door of China was knocked open by the Eight-Nation Alliance in the 18th century, the precious cultural relics placed in the Old Summer Palace were looted and counted.

Later generations of scholars once roughly counted that there were probably millions of precious Chinese antiques lost abroad, and most of them were collected in the Old Summer Palace, that is, there should be at least more than 1 million pieces of Chinese art. It was plundered from the Old Summer Palace.

If nothing else, it was in the fifties and sixties. The pigsty fences around the Old Summer Palace in the capital are all fine stones with carved beams and paintings. One can imagine how precious those looted objects will be.

For example, Wu Guanzhong, Chen Danqing, a famous painter in modern China, and others have said that among the antiques handed down from Chinese history, the objects in the Old Summer Palace are of the best quality and the highest artistry.

And at this moment, those objects that were only stored in zài and legends before appeared in front of Guo Yi like this at this moment. Rao is that he has long been prepared in his heart, when he sees the real thing, the agitation of the mood is still difficult to contain, at this moment he is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, wanting to reach out and gently touch some of these antiques with strong historical significance, but the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, looking at Yeveli Reeves on the side was very surprised, of course, as a politician with interests as the premise and a foreigner without a national concept does not know how much impact these porcelain in front of him has on a Chinese, Not to mention an antique lover?

It took more than two minutes for Guo Yi to completely calm down his agitated mood. It's just that the desire in his eyes has increased a lot, but in his heart, he is grateful to Reeves for the decisions he made behind his back, of course, provided that his relatives and friends are not harmed.

"Honorable sir, these porcelain, from my grandfather's father. I have been collecting more than 30,000 pieces for several generations. After some exchange with the Earl of Elmond in England some time ago, all that remains of what you have seen in front of you is now, and of course I can guarantee that all you see is fine.

Starting with the Tang Dynasty Sancai porcelain in China. All the porcelain of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties is available, and someone once wanted to buy these items from me. I've all turned you down, sir, and you're the first Chinese...... here."

Looking at these fine porcelains of all shapes and sizes, Yeveli Reeves was filled with pride, he had visited the treasure rooms of many international collectors specializing in Chinese art, but no one had more porcelain than him.

"More than 30,000 pieces?"

Rao is Guo Yi's state of mind was as calm as water, and at this time he also made waves and exclaimed.

"Yes, it's more than 30,000 pieces, but now there are only more than 10,000 pieces left, under these Duobao Pavilion cabinets, there are porcelain, if you are interested, you can also check them one by one, but then it will be a long time......"

Yeveli Reeves was afraid that Guo Yi would not believe it, so he personally squatted down, opened the cabinet door under a wooden shelf, and took out an object wrapped in layers of old newspapers from inside.

Seeing this piece of porcelain, which can be rated as a national second- or third-class cultural relic, in Yeveli Reeves, it can't even be put on a display case, which makes Guo Yi feel a little incredible.

However, looking around, this layer of porcelain, densely packed with dozens of square meters of space, also allows Yevili Reeves to explain what he did just now, and if he is Guo Yi, I am afraid he will also pick up the best and put it outside.

"Mr. Reeves, this is a plum vase from the Qing Dynasty in China, the number of surviving is not small, and the value is not very high, such porcelain, I don't see it......"

After Guo Yi took the plum bottle with enamel pinched gold wire in the hands of Yeveli Reeves, he played with it and said to Yevili Reeves

"Oh, I just want to explain, I know you don't like it, he is just a very ordinary piece of porcelain in my place, and it was only when the international price rose that I left him behind, after all, he witnessed the industrial level of your country in a certain period, didn't he?"

After Yevili Reeves heard Guo Yi's words, he put down the plum bottle and waved his hand again and again.

"Mr. Reeves, may I ask you a question? Of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't answer as if I didn't ask."

Guo Yi looked at the porcelain in front of him, suddenly thought of a question, and asked Yevili Reeves

"Of course, you can ask, sir, as long as it doesn't touch your privacy, I'll answer it for you."

Yeveli Reeves saw that Guo Yi's attitude towards him had become much kinder, and the heart that had just been warned to tighten because of his careful thinking let go again.

"Since you have left so much Chinese porcelain, and you seem to like it very much, then why do you treat my compatriots like this? This question has been in place since I entered this treasure room? ”

Guo Yi stared into Yevili Reeves' eyes, observing any of his expressions.

"Honorable Sir"

"Mr. Reeves, you can call me Guo, don't be so restrained, this is your home, isn't it?"

Guo Yi interrupted Reeves' words and corrected

"Oh Guo, this question is not unanswerable, since those compatriots of yours came, the operating rate of my factory has continued to decline, if it continues, I think my factory is not a question of whether it can run or not, but to consider whether it is closed, after all, profits continue to decline, and my losses are great."

When Reeves heard Guo Yi's correction to him, he kept slandering in his heart, you saw these things, and you were happy to say this, why didn't you say it just now, where did the interests of the Oriental people go, but he still answered Guo Yi's question, which is not something that cannot be answered.

"That's why? If they come to do business, you can use your business to compete with them, right? ”

"Dear Guo, the price of your country's products is low, our price is expensive, this is not only reflected in the quality of your products, labor and raw materials are the main aspects, our country's wages and material prices are much higher than yours, so the competitiveness has also decreased a lot"

"Now that you know why, why don't you set up a factory in another country and sell it back? By the way, we will open up the markets of other countries, and you must know that if you do this, you will be able to succeed. ”

"Of course we can, we have thought about doing this, but our thinking has changed too late, the markets of many countries have been occupied by them, we have fallen behind, and if we go now, the money and energy to spend has exceeded what we can pay, of course, even if we can do it, but at that time, we have no bottom whether our pay and gain can be proportional."

Hearing Guo Yi's words, Yeveli Reeves sighed and said slowly, if anyone is willing to commit such a crime, a new type of country is rising, isn't there no way.

"Hundreds of years of comfort have made you lose your pioneering spirit, and I can't see the pirate spirit of your Spain back then."

Guo Yi shook his head in disappointment, when an ancient family that had been inherited for hundreds of years had degenerated to the point that he didn't even have the ambition to be aggressive, then he was not far from decline.

"When you change your mind, you can come to me, I will work with you, of course you have projects in your hands that interest me."

Guo Yi made a promise, of course, if this promise is finally implemented, it will also be in the hands of Chen Junde, Guo Yi will not manage it, there is such a promise is also to hope that the Reeves family can make changes, be better to the Chinese in Spain, and make the kind of demonstrations and sit-ins less chaotic, and that's all he can do, a person's energy is limited.

"Really? Venerable Guo, I think your mention of yì, my family will pass guò, this is a very tempting and win-win for us. ”

After hearing Guo Yi's words, Yeveli Reeves's face showed a happy smile for the first time since he saw Guo Yi, Guo Yi is such a person, he believes that in the far east, the status will not be low, as long as he cooperates, the re-rise of the Weiss family there is believed to be not too far away, this should be the wisest decision he has made in charge of the Reeves family for decades.
