2-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, island country, Cocoonyama Ryusendo

"I won't tell you the truth, yesterday I transferred a Yuan blue and white official kiln pen wash to the Michiko shopkeeper in the pot, and it was a small thing of 12-13 cm caliber, although it was a friendly price, it was also 2 million US dollars before the transaction, Longquantang This Yuan blue and white plum vase is a high-quality large piece, so how about I bid 2.1 million US dollars to buy it?!"

Jiang Yelin made a killer move, and the two sides took turns to bid for the price, from 180 million yen all the way to 280 million yen, Kogoro and Jiang Yelin both rushed to accept each other's plum bottles, and they refused to sell their plum bottles.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that a pair of Yuan blue and white plum vases are a once-in-a-lifetime collection opportunity, and that is the heirloom that can be the treasure of the town hall.

"The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Ye Gongzi, this Yuan blue and white plum vase in our store will not be sold anyway, this one in your hand, I am willing to bid 2.5 million US dollars to buy it!" In any case, please do it!! Saying that, the shopkeeper of the Cocoon Mountain family leaned down directly, propped his hands on the tatami mat and lowered his head and refused to get up!

"That's it, it's really difficult to do, I came to the East from the Maple Leaf Country this time, originally I wanted to give my own collection of a few pieces of fine ancient porcelain that can be handed down, yesterday I regretted that I shouldn't be hot-headed for a while, and transferred the Yuan blue and white four-clawed cloud dragon fish algae pattern pen wash to the boss of Michiko, today I can't miss the baby again!"

Jiang Yelin's face was embarrassed, and Xiao Wulang raised his head when he heard it, and asked with tears in his eyes,

"Ye Gongzi, with your vision and financial resources, there will be opportunities to discover and collect more treasures in the future, this time, please transfer this plum bottle to Longquantang no matter what! I will keep them as heirlooms of Longquantang and will never transfer them to anyone else! Passed on to future generations! ”

"Okay, okay, Xiao Golang-kun is infatuated and sincere, I can't be too hypocritical, in this way, I, Ye Django, have always been sincere, how about this plum bottle, how about it being sold at a price of 2.4 million US dollars, but there has to be one additional condition......" Jiang Yelin groaned and finally relieved.

Kogoro was overjoyed when he heard this, got up from the ground and said, "What conditions?" As long as I can agree, I will never refuse! At this time, the shopkeeper of the Cocoon Mountain family, as if he saw the cocoon mountain family on both sides of the ancestors, a pair of Yuan blue and white plum vases caused a sensation, this pair of treasures, can not be sought, absolutely can not be sold, to keep in the cocoon mountain family, let alone donate to any national museum!

"The additional terms are very simple, within one year, Cocoon Mountain Longquantang cannot sell this pair of plum bottles, within one year, I reserve the right to redeem this plum bottle for 2.5 million US dollars! If Longquantang regrets this transaction within a year, I can passively redeem this plum bottle for $2 million, so the shopkeeper Kogoro can understand, right?! ”

Jiang Yelin's words surprised the shopkeeper of the Cocoon Mountain family, his eyes rolled and turned, he couldn't see through Jiang Yelin's meaning, this smiling tiger was an old fox in the antique business, unlike the boss of Michiko in the pot who agreed lightly, but showed a puzzled expression,

"Buy and leave, we don't have any regrets in the antique business, otherwise wouldn't I be a bamboo basket this year, and you can redeem things at any time? How can this be! Closing the deal means the transfer of ownership, and I can't agree to this kind of additional terms! ”

"Can't say yes? Kogoro shopkeeper, I am here to protect the interests of buyers, in case you are now elated, turn around and meet something else that is not long-sighted, babbling that this thing is not true, you think about it and feel regretful, then we were originally happy situation, isn't it a turn against each other, my attachment condition is actually to protect the interests of buyers, you can't see? ”

Jiang Yelin explained this, Xiao Wulang couldn't agree anymore, shook his head and said, "I can't agree with this, of course, Longquantang is based on his own eyesight in the antique business, and he has always bought and sold by his own eyesight to pick treasures, since I bought it, the thing is mine, even if I accidentally bump and sell it, it is Longquantang's own business, how can the seller redeem it at any time within a year, this is absolutely not good!" Doesn't that make me happy? ”

"That's it, this is really a bit out of my expectations, Kogoro's shopkeeper, the Cocoon Mountain Family and Longquantang are monstrous giant trees in the ancient ceramics industry of the island country, I don't want to turn against you in the future because of this plum bottle......" Jiang Yelin was still groaning.

"How so? The purchase and sale are voluntary between the two parties, everyone signs and draws the pledge on the transaction documents, there is no regret in buying and leaving, and I can issue a check to you on the spot! Of course, the amount is a bit large, let me arrange the turnover first, your assistant's ability to manage the accounts is also good, I am afraid that as soon as I go out, I will go to the bank again, and when the time comes, the lack of cash in the account will not be a joke for Ye Gongzi......"

Xiao Gorou is honest, no matter how big the assets of the antique store, it is rare to say that there are 300 million funds lying idle on the account, but fortunately, after making a few phone calls, Xiao Goro has come over with confidence,

"The $2.4 million account is ready, Ye Gongzi, I think this matter is settled, how about I ask someone to prepare the paperwork and checks?"

Jiang Yelin shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and said helplessly, "Xiao Golang-kun, you said that the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, what else can I do, it seems that next time I want to buy this pair of plum bottles, I can only do it at the auction, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop the auction price when the auction price doubles!" ”

"Hahahaha, it's really refreshing! Ye Gongzi, I won't tell you, since I borrowed your hand to get the best Yuan blue and white in a pot yesterday, then today I will not let this plum bottle slip in front of me no matter what......" Xiao Wulang has a big heart, as if the plum bottle received by 2.4 million yuan is paired with his own, and the market value soars by two or three times is in front of him.

When Bai Suzhen came back, he happened to bump into Jiang Yelin and Xiao Wulang signing and signing the sales documents, Jiang Yelin took the check handed over by Xiao Wulang himself, and casually stuffed it into Bai Suzhen's hand with the documents, and said with a smile,

"Susu, you can't blame me when you look back, I wanted to buy the plum bottle of Longquantang, but I didn't expect to let the shopkeeper of Xiaogoro take the lead, and after a few rounds of competition, in the end, it was actually the plum bottle that we finally received called Longquantang to buy it...... Anyway, this is also a good story in the antique world, and the two twin plum bottles are more beautiful and eye-catching! ”

"Huh? I said boss, how much effort did I have to go out, why did you transfer the treasure that you finally received to someone else, you don't lack that money, if you want to keep going like this, I'm afraid that when we leave Tokyo, there are few treasures in our hands, isn't this a trip to Tokyo for nothing! Bai Suzhen complained half-truthfully.

"How can it be done in vain? Isn't there a piece of blue and white porcelain left, the boss is reducing the weight of your luggage for your assistant, do you know? Jiang Yelin lifted the cowhide handbag on the side of the coffee table, and was ready to say goodbye to Kogoro Cocoon when he saw it.

"Slow and slow, Ye Gongzi, since we are all here, we have also made two big deals, why don't you take out this porcelain for everyone to appreciate if you have the rest of it?" Xiao Wulang was a little worried just now, he was afraid that Jiang Yelin would open his mouth, and then say that he couldn't see the porcelain in the showroom clearly, this was really going to be his life, and it wasn't until Jiang Yelin picked up the bag and wanted to leave, that he was relieved.

Then his curiosity rose, and he must keep Jiang Yelin for a glass of wine to celebrate the transaction, and at the same time look at the third piece of blue and white porcelain brought by Jiang Yelin.

Of course, Jiang Yelin would not be hypocritical, opened the leather bag, took out the third Ming Jiajing blue and white bowl received from Inoue's house, and gently placed it on the black velvet cushion, "Xiao Golang-kun, this bowl has a strange skeleton and elegant painting style, it is my favorite of the three treasures, I can't ask you to take it away this time......"

"Well, Ming Jiajing blue and white porcelain is mostly used back to green, the color is thick and the blue is purple, Your Excellency this eight horses picture blue and white porcelain bowl, if it is said that it is the fine quality of Ming Jiajing blue and white porcelain, it is not bad, but how can it be compared with the Ming Chenghua porcelain and the Yuan blue and white plum vase just now? Please ask Ye Gongzi to teach you this......"

Xiao Wulang is in a good mood at this time, so the level of identification is also high, this blue and white eight horses picture bowl in his opinion, good is good, even if it is the middle and upper grade in the blue and white of Ming Jiajing, how can it be compared with the two blue and white porcelain masterpieces just now?

"If it is a Ming Jiajing blue and white porcelain, it is true that the price cannot be compared with Ming Chenghua porcelain and Yuan blue and white porcelain, but, with my eyesight, this big bowl is not Ming Jiajing blue and white porcelain......" Jiang Yelin's words surprised everyone present.

Bai Suzhen looked at her boss with a smile, thinking that you guys really dare to brag nonsense, I obviously bought three pieces of Ming blue and white flowers at Inoue's house before, and ran to Longquantang, the most famous century-old store in Tokyo, you actually dare to go wild, what Ming Yongle blue and white plum vase was sold as Yuan blue and white! It was sold for $2.4 million!

I don't know which of the two guys, Kogoro and Jiang Yelin, is a little crazier! There's not even any additional terms, and the shopkeeper of Longquantang doesn't look like a pig's brain, right?!

"Not Ming Jiajing blue and white porcelain? But I just read it, there is a paragraph at the bottom, the book clearly states "Ming Jiajing Year System", is it a fake imitation? Kogoro said in surprise.

"It is indeed a high imitation of later generations, but it cannot be said to be a fake, I think, this big bowl is the Qing Kangxi imitation of Ming Jiajing's eight horses blue and white bowl, although the year is a lot different, but as the official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, the market value is higher......"

Jiang Yelin said very confidently, Xiao Wulang was of course skeptical at first, but it was also strange, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that Jiang Yelin was right, this big bowl was first seen, I always felt that it was very consistent with Ming Jiajing's style, and now I look, the glazed carcass includes green materials, especially the cyan pattern gives people a visual feeling of freehand ink painting, sure enough...... Sure enough, it is more like the characteristics of Qing Kangxi blue and white porcelain!
