Chapter 230: Private Antique Exchange Meeting

PS: Chapter 2 is here!

"The old man over there is Yoshisuke Tagawa, the current chairman of the Fuji Foundation, the predecessor of the Fuji Group was the Azuchi Foundation, which used to be the first in capital among the traditional four major consortia, but because of the lack of a strong industrial sector, it gradually declined. As the successor, the Fuji Foundation is no longer part of the Azuchi family. ”

A private exchange of the collection was held at a private club called "Sakura". Most of the people who come here are famous people, and many of them stomp their feet, and the whole of Japan has to shake a few times. So the defenses here are also very tight, and you can't come in without an invitation.

It was only at the invitation and guarantee of Sumitomo Mitsui that Yu Fei was agreed to participate in this private exchange by more than one-third of the members.

At this time, Saori Mitsui was quietly introducing him to the characters who came to participate in the antique exchange.

"That's Taro Aikawa, the chairman of the Mitsubishi Foundation. Although the Mitsubishi Foundation was forced to dissolve after the war and the consortium was split into three companies, the companies continued to work closely with each other and established informal organizations such as Mitsubishi Friday. The Mitsubishi Foundation is still mainly engaged in military work. ”

For the Mitsubishi consortium, Yu Fei has heard that it was Japan's largest arms supplier during the twentieth period. The famous Zero fighter was produced by the Mitsubishi consortium. After World War II, the Mitsubishi Foundation remained steadfast and provided the Self-Defense Forces with almost all heavy weapons, including aircraft, ships, and armored vehicles. I heard that among the sponsors of new textbooks that ignore history in Japan, this Taro Aikawa is at the top of the list. So Yu Fei didn't have a good impression of the Mitsubishi consortium, including Taro Aikawa.

"The one with the red wine glass. Wearing a kimono is Tokugawa Nobutaka, the chairman of the Tokugawa Nostalgia Foundation, which is worth mentioning. He is also the eighteenth grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Saori Mitsui's words caught Yu Fei's attention.

In 1867, Tokugawa Yoshiki, the last shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, took the initiative to hold a ceremony at Nijo Castle to return the daisei to Emperor Meiji. The Emperor promulgated the Imperial Decree abolishing the shogunate. Later, in the face of the harsh demands of the imperial court and the shogunate faction, he was forced to lead the shogunate army of 15,000 men from Osaka to attack Kyoto, and the decisive battle was a government army of several 5,000 men. However, the shogunate army was defeated at Toba and Fushimi, and Keiki had to flee back to Edo. After the last day, Qingxi surrendered. Handed over Edo and renamed in Shizuoka. Thirty years later, Emperor Meiji made Tokugawa Ietatsu, the new governor of the Tokugawa family, duke. The Tokugawa family was able to prosper and prosper. From this point of view, Japan's change of dynasty is more moderate than China's.

Speaking of which. His own gold treasure and Shiro Kato's Tenmu porcelain are also inextricably linked to the Tokugawa family.

"Mitsui-kun. I heard that this exchange will have the appearance of the Tianmu porcelain of the porcelain ancestor, I don't know who owns this Tianmu porcelain now? Taro Aikawa walked up to Sumitomo Mitsui and asked. Because private exchanges are held regularly, there are usually not many people who come. But this time, because of the rumors of the appearance of Tenmu porcelain made by Shiro Kato himself, it attracted many large collectors. Of course, if the news came out of ordinary people, then everyone would not believe it, but the news came out of the chairman of the Mitsui Foundation, Sumitomo Mitsui, which can't help but be unbelievable.

"Tianmu porcelain currently belongs to the young people around the little girl." Sumitomo Mitsui pointed at Yu Fei and said.

Taro Aikawa raised his glass at Yu Fei from afar. Smile slightly. Yu Fei nodded and said hello. Originally, as Taro Aikawa. He wouldn't take the initiative to greet a junior at all, and now he did it completely for the sake of the face of the porcelain ancestor Tianmu porcelain.

"What's wrong? Aikawa-kun is also interested in Tianmu porcelain, so he won't want to fight with me, right? Sumitomo Mitsui said.

Taro Aikawa snorted and said, "Mitsui-kun has a rich collection, how can it be compared to Aikawa?" If it's compared to antiques, Aikawa thinks that he can't reach the dust, but many times, antiques are to look at the edge, maybe this young man has taken a fancy to which of Aikawa's collections. Speaking of which, since Sanjing-kun has already gotten the news, why didn't he replace him in advance? I believe that with the breadth of Mitsui-kun's collection, it shouldn't be impossible to find antiques that the other party is interested in, right? ”

Sumitomo Mitsui shook his head helplessly, this was naturally what he had thought before. Once you get to the exchange meeting, everything is out of control, just like Aikawa Taro said, the collection is about the edge of the eye, even if you take out the valuable collection, you may not be able to use it, if this young man named Yu Fei can't look at it, everything is in vain.

"Hello Mr. Yu Fei, I'm Jing Suzuki, and this is my business card." Just as Saori Mitsui was introducing the guests and the rules of communication to Yu Fei, an old man in his sixties came over and said respectfully,

"Hello, I'm Yu Fei." Yu Fei stretched out his hand and shook it with Suzuki Jing, and at the same time glanced at Saori Mitsui with some confusion, he didn't know why Suzuki Jing was a good person. If this is said, I'm afraid Suzuki Kyo will also feel disgraced, right, there are people in the collection circle who don't know him? Although Kyo Suzuki's status in the Japanese collecting world is not as good as that of Keiichi Higashiyama, it is not about the same. This time, Keiichi Higashiyama did not participate (I heard that he offended Sumitomo Mitsui), so the main appraisal and host of the collection of this exchange meeting will be replaced by Kyo Suzuki.

Generally speaking, this kind of private exchange organization does not need to be identified and hosted, but this time the matter is too important, so it will be publicly recommended by Kyo Suzuki as the host of this exchange gathering.

"Mr. Suzuki is an expert in the study of Chinese painting, and he compiled the five-volume Catalogue of Chinese Painting, which includes more than 7,000 famous Chinese paintings from all over the world." Saori Mitsui's introduction made Yu Fei awe-inspired.

There is no shortage of true collectors in Japan, and this Mr. Suzuki is one of them. They cherish and love Chinese antiques even more than many Chinese collectors.

"I take the liberty of asking, where did Mr. Yu Fei get all of Shiro Kato's Tianmu porcelain paintings?" Because of the need for communication, Yu Fei had just handed over three pieces of Tianmu porcelain to the organizers. The organizers also invited a number of experts in porcelain collection to conduct appraisals, and determined that these three pieces of porcelain were indeed made by Shiro Kato himself, and there were still few pieces of Shiro Kato's style on them. Although Kyo Suzuki mainly studied Chinese painting and calligraphy, he also studied porcelain.

"Oh, I happened to find it in the open-air market in Harajuku." Yu Fei said casually.

In the open-air market in Harajuku, you can find Shiro Kato's Tenmu porcelain? Suzuki Kyo is really unimaginable, that place is mixed, and the average big collector will not go there at all, thinking that the grade there is relatively low, but he didn't expect to find such a precious Tianmu porcelain there, and once he found it, it was three pieces, which made Suzuki Kyo feel that he should find a time to go to the open-air market.

"The open-air market in Harajuku seems to be a real gem." After Suzuki Kyo left, Saori Mitsui said sarcastically: "An open-air market, not only has the Holy Ring of Love during the Tokugawa Shogunate, but also Shiro Kato's Tianmu porcelain, and there are three pieces of each one, and what is even more bizarre is that these things are all touched by Yu Feijun and bought." This is really a wonder in the world. ”

Saori Mitsui's implication is naturally to express distrust of Fei's words. This kid is too lazy to even lie and find a better excuse. How did she know that Yu Fei was in addition to the open-air market in Harajuku, and the other antique markets were all visited in the company of Saori Mitsui, and it was impossible to lie to her face, so she had no way to move out of the Harajuku open-air market again.

Yu Fei seemed to hear the sarcasm in Saori Mitsui's words at all, and said happily: "This can only say that my luck is too good!" Miss Saori can also go to Harajuku next time, and maybe it will be rewarding. ”

Saori Mitsui shook her head, this person was hopelessly thick-skinned.

"Ladies and gentlemen." At about half past six in the evening, Suzuki Kyo walked onto the temporary stage at the front of the cafeteria and said slowly: "I believe many people have heard that today, it will be a major event in our collection world, and there will be three pieces of porcelain ancestor Kato Shiro Emon Keimasa Tenmu porcelain at the same time." This will fill a big gap in our porcelain world! ”

Suzuki Jing's words immediately caused a burst of discussion, and some people who didn't know Lu Dao asked who was lucky enough to obtain three pieces of porcelain ancestor Tianmu porcelain. There was a commotion at the scene. (To be continued......)
