"Suoga, it turns out that Ye Gongzi came to Tokyo to travel to collect antique porcelain? I have a lot of fine porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties in Longquantang, but I don't know, what price does Ye Gongzi want to buy? The prices of the shop are not cheap......"

Xiao Goro's words are obviously exploring Jiang Yelin's confidence, if Jiang Yelin said that he intends to make porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties at the level of one million yen, it may not be in Xiao Goro's eyes, if it is porcelain with a price of tens of millions of yen, it is about the same, otherwise, I am afraid that this cocoon mountain shopkeeper will not be able to treat Jiang Yelin as a big buyer.

In fact, Kogoro prefers to use the gorgeously dressed boy in front of him as an antique expert to attract for his own use, rather than some antique collector on an equal footing with him, unless the other party is willing to spend a lot of money.

"The difference between the shopkeeper's words, my son-in-law, has always only taken the quality of porcelain as the basis for whether it is worth collecting, some of the things on the antique market stalls, because no one appreciates them and hide in the dust, tens of thousands of yen can be bought, can not be made boutique? As for the so-called fine porcelain with high prices in some big stores, there may be sellers who look away......"

Bai Suzhen's words are fluent in Japanese, although Kogoro's Chinese is very fluent, but the beautiful police inspector's words are said in Japanese, which obviously brings a higher level of perception to Kogoro.

"Ye Gongzi, your assistant's Japanese is quite fluent, such talents are rare, and it is right to say that it is not the best way to become a hero, simply by price as a measure of whether it is genuine and fine porcelain, it is indeed not the best way, in this way, I will first take the two to visit the fine porcelain in the VIP showroom on the second floor, if the two of you have a fancy to it, I will give a ninety-five discount that is no problem at all!"

Jiang Yelin smiled and nodded, glanced at his beautiful assistant appreciatively, the two got up, and followed Kogoro upstairs, if the showroom in the pot is small and elegant, then the business area of Longquantang in Cocoon Mountain is at least twice as large, and the number of clerks is also much larger, and the shopkeepers who pass by along the way keep stopping to greet Kogoro and his party, this feeling is very much like the atmosphere in the island bank and the big trading company.

The showroom of fine ancient porcelain on the second floor of Longquantang is divided into three parts, namely Song and Yuan porcelain, Ming porcelain and Qing porcelain, the reason why the Yuan porcelain is not listed separately is obviously because the Yuan blue and white porcelain is rare and rare, and when the old shopkeeper of the Cocoon Mountain family passed away, he also donated a lot of the best porcelain collected by Longquantang to the Tokyo National Museum, and what has survived is 73 years later, the treasures that have been collected again.

Kogoro is like a few family treasures, he is not a top talent in the Cocoon Mountain family, but he is also an outstanding talent, at least in the field of antique porcelain, immersed in 20 years, compared to the knowledge and level of the otaku shopkeeper of the Inoue family, it is much higher than the beautiful woman and female shopkeeper in the pot, I feel a few points worse, and even the understanding of Song porcelain is still above Michiko.

Looking down along the way, Jiang Yelin found that the quality of these porcelains on the second floor of Longquan Hall in Cocoon Mountain is really not bad at all, of course, the price is not ambiguous, Ming blue and white porcelain is much cheaper than Song porcelain and Qing dynasty porcelain, but the cheapest one is also above 800,000 yen, and other millions of are commonplace, and the so-called famous products with a price of more than 10 million are not small.

As for Yuan blue and white porcelain, there are about seven or eight pieces, except for two official kiln Yuan blue and white plum vases and large bowls, the rest are goblets, small plates, small bowls and other small pieces of folk kilnware, the cheapest small bowl, the quality is average, the price is as high as 25 million yen! As for the medium-sized plum vase in the best condition, the price was directly listed at 170 million yen.

There are also seventeen or eighteen pieces of colored porcelain in the Qing Dynasty, the lowest one is priced at 18 million yen, and the most expensive one is a Qing Kangxi pastel West Chamber story plum vase, with a staggering price of 180 million yen!

When Kogoro led the two of them to visit, he still felt very proud in his heart, almost one-third of these cocooned mountain Longquantang boutiques were inherited by the elders, and the rest were collected and purchased from the market and peers bit by bit in the past 20 years, and his footprints were all over Southeast Asia, of course, there were also those that were picked up from the auction, such as the Qing Kangxi pastel story plum vase, as the treasure of the town store, it was originally auctioned back from Christie's for 100 million yen.

Not to mention that the market price can really be sold for 180 million yen, at least at the price of 150 million yen, that is not a problem at all.

"How about it, Ye Gongzi, can the collection of the store still be in your eyes?" Xiao Goro looked at Jiang Yelin in front of him with anticipation, just turned around like this, Jiang Yelin didn't say much, but when he commented on a few pieces of porcelain, he said that it was on the point, which made Xiao Goro confirm that this playboy is an expert in antique porcelain, seeing that he is only less than thirty years old, his attainments are really not worse than himself, and he is indeed remarkable.

"It's really good, Susu, what do you see?" Jiang Yelin smiled noncommittally, and turned his gaze to the beautiful assistant beside him.

"The rest is okay, but the price is a bit outrageous, tens of millions of yen at every turn, I see some things, you can buy hundreds of thousands of yen at the Asakusa antique market, boss, how about I accompany you to the market again?" Isn't it said that the greatest joy of collecting antiques is to pick up leaks? ”

Bai Suzhen said this Jiang Yelin smiled, this beautiful assistant has been self-taught without teaching for the past two days, Xiao Wulang's face sank, and he said with a little dissatisfaction,

"Miss Bai said with a smile, most of the stalls in the market are fakes and modern handicrafts, that is, the layman looks at it and thinks it is good, in the eyes of antique experts like Ye Gongzi, it must be a thing that is not worth mentioning, it is good to pick up the leak, but one in a hundred miles may not meet the real thing, my Longquantang is a famous antique store, with Longquantang appraisal documents of porcelain, whether it is to collect it yourself or give it away, it is the best choice for quality and reputation assurance!"

"Things are really not real, but it's not just about the price, Cocoon Mountain Longquan Hall, when collecting, it may not be able to guarantee that all things will not go wrong, right?" Bai Suzhen's words are a little disrespectful, but there is nothing to blame, these days, no matter how conceited the antique appraisal master, he may not dare to pat his chest and say, I see things 100% accurately!

Kogoro is an antique dealer, this buying and selling antiques, of course, can not say when selling, their own things are not true, but how is the reality, everyone knows in their hearts, even if it is a big store like Longquanju in Cocoon Mountain, it is impossible to sell all the goods are genuine, some are high-imitation fakes have not been discovered, and some are different in age, but overall, the inheritance and credit of century-old antique stores are here, and the probability of buying genuine products is higher than that of other small shops and roadside stalls.

"The antique porcelain sold in the shop, as long as the Longquantang appraisal document has been issued, if it is found to be not true afterwards, since the opening of the store, the rule set is that there is no difference between one refund and one compensation!" As soon as Xiao Wulang said this, he really wanted Bai Suzhen to be in awe.

"Susu, don't apologize to the shopkeeper of Cocoon Mountain, these days, dare to say that the antique store that sells fake refunds and pays one for one, I'm afraid it's rare, they all say that the antique industry, the gamble is eyesight, the fight is luck, Longquantang actually has such courage, it's amazing!" Jiang Yelin said this in his mouth, and he was wondering in his heart, a small piece of Yuan blue and white with an opening price of 80 million that he saw just now was a little suspicious, should he buy it first and then make a claim or something?

"Hmph......" Bai Suzhen turned her head and automatically filtered Jiang Yelin's words, in the eyes of the beautiful police inspector, Cocoon Mountain Kogoro is a smiling tiger, and his subordinates can raise a group of black and astringent bosses who can do the pie, no matter how much they advertise themselves, there is no play, my sister has already seen through you, and there is no chance to play a good person.

What do you say that once the sale of fakes is verified, refund one and pay one, you are a big donor to the Tokyo National Museum, which expert will dismantle your platform if you don't open your eyes? The shopkeeper of Longquantang is also the president of the Tokyo Ancient Ceramics Research Association, who has nothing to challenge the authority of the president, and when the time comes, there will really be a stunned green out, and it is impossible for the industry to say that Longquantang is wrong, and the challenger is right, right?!

"Xiao Wulang shopkeeper, my assistant is not big or small, don't be surprised, I looked at it for a long time just now, in the Ming Chenghua porcelain, the Chenghua blue and white porcelain bowl with a price of 30 million seems to be a little unclear......"

As soon as Jiang Yelin said this, he suddenly made Cocoon Mountain Kogoro nervous, how could he have time to quarrel with the other party's beautiful assistant, this guy pulled Jiang Yelin back to the Ming porcelain exhibition hall, found the porcelain bowl with a price of 30 million yen, looked at it for a while, and remembered this thing, to say that it was not a long time to receive it, it was three months ago, when I went to Kyoto to communicate, I bought it from the market.

At that time, it cost 2 million yen, in the market, millions of Ming blue and white flowers are expensive things, the other party asked for 5 million, and finally talked for a long time, with 2 million transactions, back to let a few old guys in Longquan Hall appreciate, confirmed that it is a fine product in Ming Chenghua blue and white porcelain, directly marked 30 million for sale!

Of course, the price is indeed not cheap, not to mention that Ming Chenghua porcelain is the best colored porcelain, although blue and white porcelain is more popular in the island country, but the blue and white porcelain of Ming Chenghua year, then the cost performance is a bit of a loss, if it is colored porcelain, 30 million yen is definitely not expensive, if it is only Ming blue and white, 30 million is called expensive outrageous, especially this plate is not big.

"Ye Gongzi, I won't tell you, this blue and white Lilong official bowl in the Chenghua period was collected by me from Kyoto, and it was a high price of 25 million yen at that time, and after returning to Tokyo, I also held a small appreciation party, and everyone in the association unanimously agreed that it was a fine product in the Ming Chenghua period, would there be a problem?!"

When Kogoro said this, his voice sounded very calm, obviously it was something received from 2 million yen, but in a blink of an eye, it became 25 million received, and his face still looked like he was humbly asking for advice.
