Chapter 200: Valuable
Shang Wang Zi ate dinner and shouted to see the antiques early tomorrow morning, Li Han smiled: "Do you know that thing?" ”
Everyone shook their heads together.
Li Han nodded: "I don't understand either, so we need a commentator." "And an expert, free, estimating narrator.
Although Mu Zhiyuan was very interested in the treasure that Li Han got, he was still doing a "business" abroad at this time, where could he get it back, and it was not until Shang Wang Zi and they appeared at 76 Witfield Street on the third day of their arrival in London.
When he arrived, it was still early in the morning, Li Han and they were having breakfast, Mu Zhiyuan didn't expect his house to be so lively, looking at this large group of people stunned, and said with a smile: "You have guests at home?" It seems like I'm here at a bad time. ”
Li Han smiled: "No, you came by coincidence, we were planning to go to the bank, if you don't come back, I won't wait for you." Then he introduced them, "These three are my best friends, and my two sisters-in-law." This is my girlfriend Lydia. This is a Chinese, the free commentator I mentioned before, an expert, today we look at antiques on him, no one to explain is nothing to see. ”
The three brothers gave him a blank look together, no name and no surname, what is this called, only the girlfriend said the name in a serious manner, it was just a heavy color and a light friend. They said their names one by one, and Shang Wang Zi and Chen Jing also introduced their own women. They didn't understand why Li Han's introduction was so vague today, but Mu Zhiyuan knew, he was worried that he would not be able to reveal his name.
Mu Zhiyuan smiled and solemnly introduced his identity: "Mu Zhiyuan." The second-generation immigrant, who co-founded a trading company with others, doesn't know much about antiques, and just plays with them occasionally. Then he clapped his hands and walked into the kitchen automatically, "Li Han, is there anything else to eat?" I just got off the plane and came over, and I haven't had breakfast yet. ”
Li Han sat down and continued to eat his noodles, and said, "There are still noodles in the pot, and there is porridge in the rice cooker." There are buns on the steamer. There were frozen dumplings in the fridge. ”
Mu Zhiyuan didn't pick it, put a bowl of porridge, sandwiched three buns and brought them over to sit down and eat. The buns were bought frozen by Li Han in Chinatown and steamed by himself, he is a southerner. Not used to making this pasta yourself. Feel troublesome. The dumplings are made by themselves.
After breakfast, Shang Wang Zi and the others originally planned to play in London for another day, since they were going to see those antiques that Li Han had newly acquired. Naturally, I have to change my plan, London won't run, and it's the same if I see it later, even if I don't have time to watch it this time, it's a big deal to come back next time, Li Han is here, I'm afraid that I won't run less in the UK in the future.
Or the room that was used last time, Li Han went to transport all the boxes out, this time there was half a box of things, and the experts classified them as worthless and unartistic as worthless and had already been taken back by him for daily use at home. It's a hundred years ago, and it's beautiful.
As soon as he saw those boxes of antiques, Mu Zhiyuan remembered nothing else, and directly pounced on them to admire them one by one. The three women chattered around the two boxes of gold and silver jewelry, touching this and looking at that. Liu Chengcheng and Ding Qianfei are both from Huangguo in the end, although they don't understand antiques, but they both like this Chinese-style ornament and appreciate it. Especially these are high-quality products, many of them are still flowing out of the palace, and they can't put it down.
All kinds of pavilions, flowers, birds, fish and insects shape of the step, hairpin, hairpin, comb, earring, ring, bracelet, armband, collar, longevity lock, jade pendant, and even fan, belt, fish and so on, everything, all exquisite workmanship, priceless.
Shang Wang Zi and the three are about the same level as Li Han, look at this and touch that, that is, watch a lively, although they know that these things should be very valuable, but they don't know how much they are worth and where they are worth.
Li Han patted Mu Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and was about to speak, Mu Zhiyuan was fascinated, and was frightened by him, and the porcelain bottle in his hand was almost lost away. He put the bottle on the table, pretended to wipe a cold sweat and said, "I'm scared to death, if this thing is broken, you will dissect me and sell it as a human organ, and you can't afford to pay for it." ”
Li Han looked at the bottle, the instructions posted by the experts on the box were still there, it was the blue and white peony pattern dragon ear bottle in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't see anything special, but the expert put it was valuable, so he asked: "This thing is very valuable?" ”
Mu Zhiyuan is doing this business, and the valuation is only more accurate than those experts, he held the bottle like a treasure and said: "This is probably the only one left in the world, and there is a similar one in the Jingdezhen Museum in China, and that one is still damaged, and the value cannot be compared with this one, it can be regarded as a treasure of the Hongwu period, which is very rare." ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, isn't this just a very ordinary blue and white porcelain vase? At least in their eyes, it's no different from the ones sold in art stores. Fu Yuanjin had already shouted: "So this thing is really a treasure? Is it because things are scarce? ”
Mu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "It's not just that things are scarce and expensive, but things themselves are also high-quality products." You see, it has an elegant appearance, exquisite painting, the bottle pattern is clearly layered, sparse, the blue and white color is quiet, and there are stagnant black spots at the gathering place of the green material, and it is the Hongwuguan kiln at a glance. Especially this pair of dragon patterns, which can only be used by the royal family, the price will have to double several times. ”
Several girls were also attracted to it, and Ding Qianfei couldn't help but ask, "Then how much is it worth?" ”
Mu Zhiyuan reluctantly put the bottle back in the box and said, "This is a priceless treasure, if Li Han is really willing to sell, then the buyer will definitely break his head." If you really insist on valuing it, it will be at least 360 million RMB, and if you take it to the auction house, the transaction price may be doubled. ”
Everyone gasped, originally thinking that even if it was worth more, it would be tens of millions at most, but it turned out to be more than 300 million. Everyone subconsciously took a step back, for fear of accidentally breaking such a valuable treasure. But I couldn't help but stretch my neck to see what porcelain worth more than 300 million was like.
Li Han was also taken aback, 360 million, which is almost 36 million in pounds, although he already has a lot of property, but this is just a bottle!
He picked up the Doucai Flower Butterfly Pattern Cup, which had been praised and praised by experts before, and asked, "What about this pair of cups, how much is it worth?" ”
Mu Zhiyuan hadn't seen them yet, and he was even more surprised at a glance: "You still have a Doucai Flower Butterfly Cup during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty?" Hurriedly took it over and admired it carefully, and after looking at it for a long time, Li Han was impatient to wait, so he said, "This value is slightly lower than the blue and white peony pattern dragon ear vase, and the estimated value is about 280 million RMB." Although this is a good thing, it is not unique after all, and both Palace Museums have a pair. Of course, as always, it can be sold at auction for a little more expensive. ”
Just saw a 360 million, and this pair of 280 million, and everyone went to see what was left in the box. This is the real priceless ah, in the past, looking at tens or millions of jewels felt expensive, simply incomparable.
Here Mu Zhiyuan picked up a blue and white seawater white dragon pattern flat bottle in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty, this bottle is not like the common round belly and long neck shape, the neck is slightly cone-shaped, but the belly is round and flat, like a wine jug. The belly is a blue and white white sea dragon pattern, a vigorous and mighty white dragon swims in the boundless sea, the white dragon bends the body, must flutter, stretch the limbs, and is about to come out.
"This is a national treasure," Mu Zhiyuan exclaimed, "According to records, when the Old Summer Palace was burned, the first large imperial garden built by Kangxi was also swept away, and this blue and white seawater white dragon pattern flat bottle is one of them, I didn't expect it to appear on that ship, and finally you got it." ”
Li Han asked: "Is blue and white very valuable as long as it is a fine product?" ”
"I can't say that, I can only say that these are all national treasure-level boutiques. Looking at this flat bottle, its decoration process is to first use pointed tools to outline the outline of the dragon pattern and the details of the dragon's eyes, crown, thick lips, teeth, claws and toes, scales and other details on the porcelain blank, and then paint the turbulent sea water with blue and white materials around the dragon body and apply transparent glaze, and fire it at high temperature in the kiln. According to historical records, the blue and white materials brought back by Zheng He from the West are mostly used in the blue and white of Xuande, which are deep and bright, like sapphire, and there is often a halo between the lines, such as the ink halo of ink painting, coupled with the scattered black spots, so that the picture has an extraordinary artistic effect, so as long as it is a fine product, it is almost a treasure. ”
They almost started from the best things, and after reading these national treasure-level things, the rest of the glaze red cloud dragon pattern double dragon ear vase in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty, what the glaze red phoenix in the glaze of the Yuan Dynasty wore peony pattern carved flat pots, and the Jun kiln kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty changed glaze large flower pots...... Although they are all treasures worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of RMB, they can no longer be amazed, not to mention that the rest of the small things that are only millions or hundreds of thousands have been reduced to garbage in front of national treasures.
Ding Qianfei has a cheerful personality, and has already pulled Mu Zhiyuan to look at the jewelry: "Help us see these things, they are all so beautiful, and they will also introduce us to them." ”
A few big men had no interest in those jewels, so they sat down to drink tea and chat, and rested their minds and legs, but their eyes couldn't take off the boxes of porcelain. Such a little thing is worth billions of dollars, and if it is money, they will have to be blinded. It's a pity that they don't understand antiques, and even if someone tells them how much these things are worth, they still don't have any idea in their hearts.
Shang Wang Zi asked, "Fourth, what are you going to do with these things?" ”
Li Han shook his head decisively, and still said the same sentence: "I don't know, let's take it first." ”
The crowd was speechless.
After all, Shang Wangzi was a petty official in the capital, and he had a bit of a background at home, so he thought about it and said, "Why don't you go back to City B to set up a museum?" (To be continued......)
PS: These things are all on the auction book, and they are all estimates, and the auction price has at least doubled, for example, the first bottle with an estimate of 360 million was sold for more than 780 million.
