In fact, if Chu Chen is willing to spend money, even if he directly acquires a research institute, it will be no problem. But he likes to enjoy the process, and he is not in a hurry about this matter, he can take his time, and step by step, the staff in the real yàn room can also know a little bit about it.

"Well, I like research." Gu Gongyi had already thought about cooperating with Chu Chen, and as soon as Chu Chen's words fell, he nodded and agreed.

"You can't just study, I'm ready to hand over the real evidence to you to take care of." Chu Chen said with a smile.

"This ......" Gu Gongyi scratched his head, although his small kiln factory was okay, and he could make a profit of fifty or sixty thousand yuan a month, but after today's incident, he was somewhat unconfident in himself.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "There are not many people in our real room for the time being, just with your ability to manage a kiln factory, it must be more than enough, and you definitely don't have to worry about it." ”

Gu Gongyi thought for a while and asked, "Boss Chu, how many experts have you found now?" ”

"For the time being, just two ......," Chu Chen introduced Du Hou and Qian Lao.

"No! No way! How can I lead them! No matter how lonely Gu Gongyi is, he still knows about these two old-timers, which makes him surprised, and he waved his hand again and again to refuse.

"They're just advisors I've hired, and now you don't have any employees, so you won't have any worries, right?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"This ...... Then I'll try it first! Gu Gongyi thought about it before nodding and agreeing.

"Alright, let's talk about the conditions, I mean. You have a stake in this laboratory, and the other ......"

Next. The two sides discussed some conditions for cooperation, but basically Chu Chen was talking. Gu Gongyi didn't have any opinions at all, the reason for this was also because he was very satisfied with the conditions offered by Chu Chen, what else did he have to say?

After all the conditions were confirmed by Gu Gongyi one by one, Chu Chen took out the contract template that had been prepared and filled it out, and both parties signed and signed it, and the matter was done.

There is a way to seek his position in his position, and wait for the contract to be signed. Gu Gongyi said with some embarrassment:

"Boss, you are going to start the research from the porcelain of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, I have already had a lot of results, and there is no problem in other aspects, but the formula of the porcelain clay is not perfect......

Hearing this, Chu Chen interrupted him and asked, "Old Gu, I have also seen your flat bottle, as far as the fetal quality of that flat bottle is concerned." I think it's pretty good, right? ”

When Gu Gongyi heard this, he shook his head directly and said: "I don't think it's good, at least if you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can find that it is quite different from the real thing." ”

For Gu Gongyi's attitude of excellence. Chu Chen still appreciated it, and he was not short of money, so he could let Gu Gongyi continue to study. There was one thing he was curious about, though. asked, "Old Gu, do you have a genuine product?" ”

Gu Gongyi said with a smile: "Of course I have the real thing." Otherwise, there is no comparison, it is not a blind man touching an elephant, but the real thing I am talking about is just a porcelain piece, and I can't afford to buy a complete vessel. Speaking of which, I have collected a lot of porcelain pieces over the years, and there are all kinds of official kilns and private kilns, all of which are about to pile up in a room. ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen immediately became interested and said, "Old Gu, can you let me appreciate your collection?" ”

"No problem......"

As he spoke, Gu Gongyi stood up and took Chu Chen and them to a room guarded by a thick security door. Gu Gongyi took out the key and opened the door, turned on the light in the room, and invited everyone in.

The room is indeed as Gu Gongyi said, almost the whole room is full of all kinds of porcelain tiles, but despite this, the room is still cleaned in an orderly manner, and there is not much smell in the room, which shows that Gu Gongyi still cherishes these porcelain tiles.

Gu Gongyi first briefly introduced the porcelain tiles in the room, and then said: "My wife has always said that I am picking up rags, but this is also a helpless thing, we don't have that strength, we can only 'generalize from partiality', and without these porcelain tiles, I don't have the current technology." ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded in agreement.

Speaking of which, collectors have always emphasized the word "whole" when collecting porcelain, and if the porcelain is broken or damaged, its value will be greatly reduced. Scattered porcelain tiles are even less valuable.

In the past, collectors began to know porcelain and collect porcelain in its entirety, but now, if you work in a big museum, or have a wealth or a family background, and have the opportunity to work with a large number of porcelain from all dynasties, you can naturally become an expert in this way.

However, there are not many people in the world who have such superior conditions, and those who can take the road of "generalizing with all" are always in the minority. The new generation of collectors, young collectors, they don't have so much money, so good conditions, they can only find another way. As Gu Gongyi said, "generalizing from partiality" is also forced.

Of course, "generalizing to partiality" also has the advantage of "generalizing to partiality", the first is that the tuition fee is low, and the purpose of studying complete porcelain can be achieved through the study of porcelain pieces.

The second benefit is that the material is authentic. In the past, counterfeiters had their eyes on the whole, because the wholes could be profitable. Therefore, there are fakes in the complete vessels handed down from generation to generation, and even in the collections of the Forbidden City.

Therefore, those who have become experts by starting with the study of the complete instrument cannot rule out the possibility that there are fakes in the textbooks they study and research. In the process of studying and researching these complete fakes, it is possible that they will see through them, but it is more likely that they will worship them as sacred and genuine.

However, this kind of loss can be greatly avoided by using a partial and comprehensive collection research method. Generally speaking, as long as you have a reliable way of obtaining porcelain tiles, you can basically rule out the interference of fakes when you study the porcelain of the kiln.

The third benefit is that you can see the porcelain as it really is. Through the porcelain tiles, you can see the glaze color, see the soil, see the thickness of the soil, see the thickness of the glaze, see how the glaze flows, see how the soil is composed, etc., in short, study the porcelain pieces, you can grasp the laws and mysteries of porcelain making from the inside.

And this is exactly what you can't see from the whole artifact, because you can't break the whole artifact of the precious artifact.

Moreover, the third point is particularly important for artists like Gu Gongyi who study antique porcelain zuò, after all, if he wants to make zuò to the point of being fake, he has to study the fetal glaze and other aspects thoroughly, which is undoubtedly more helpful for porcelain tiles.

Chu Chen looked around and said with a smile: "Old Gu, you have already spent a lot of money on the porcelain tiles here, right?" ”

"At least millions have already been spent."

Gu Gongyi said with some emotion: "This is also because my family and wife support me, otherwise at the beginning, I couldn't even afford to buy porcelain." But since last year, I'm almost getting my money back, and overall it's worth it. ”

Seeing Gu Gongyi's high-spirited appearance, Chu Chen and the others all smiled, this investment is not worth it, but too worthwhile.

Next, Chu Chen and Wu Ke browsed all the porcelain tiles in the room together, there are many porcelain tiles here, all of which are quite precious, such as the porcelain tiles of the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, which are relatively rare, and there are also some porcelain tiles, which also make Chu Chen gain a lot of knowledge.

However, because of the time, Chu Chen could only pick and look at the many porcelain tiles in the room, which made him feel very regretful.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past five o'clock, and the sky was getting darker.

Chu Chen stood up and said with some pity: "Forget it, let's enjoy it next time!" ”

Gu Gongyi said: "Boss, if you don't dislike it, just live on my side." ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "What's not to dislike about this, but I still have something to deal with in the capital, so I'll deal with the affairs of the kiln factory tomorrow, and I'll leave directly, let's wait for next time." ”

"Okay...... Boss, my wife is already ready for dinner, let's go over together......"

After a hearty lunch, everyone chatted for a while, and Chu Chen was ready to leave.

At this moment, a friend of Gu Gongyi came to visit with a box, saying that he wanted to ask Gu Gongyi to help identify the contents of the box.

Gu Gongyi opened the box and took a look, and found that there were actually a few Ru kiln complete vessels with seven or eight kinds of glaze colors inside, but judging from the cracks on the surface of the utensils, these complete vessels should have been pieced together.

But what made Chu Chen's expression a little strange was that these pieces of complete ware were even more beautiful than many heirloom Ru kiln complete vessels, and what made him feel a little funny was that two of them were varieties that were not available in the heirloom Ru kiln ware.

Seeing these complete vessels, Gu Gongyi asked, "Lao Xia, did you buy these porcelain pieces from the same person?" ”

"Yes." Lao Xia nodded, and then asked expectantly, "Xiao Gu, are these genuine?" ”

Gu Gongyi said: "Let's not talk about the authenticity first, I will ask a few questions, why did the potters at that time break such perfect Ru kilns?" Why are these porcelain tiles from different kilns and different temperatures discarded together at the same time? Finally, why can your pile of porcelain pieces be so coincidentally pieced together with a few composite pieces? ”

"Lao Xia, you must know that the unqualified porcelain in the ancient official kiln does have to be broken and thrown away, but the kiln workers will not break the porcelain in a very small range."

Seeing that Lao Xia was a little stunned, Gu Gongyi continued with some seriousness: "I don't know if you haven't read the ancient tomb excavation report of the cultural relics magazine, in a tomb, there are only a few pieces of porcelain, and the archaeologists carefully clean and find them with a brush, and the soil transported away has to be sifted through a sieve." ”

"But even then, it's rare to be able to put together a complete piece. How much do you think it is possible that today, nearly a thousand years later, it will still be possible to piece together the porcelain pieces broken by the potters in the past so easily? And can you put together five pieces? ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Lao Xia woke up like a dream, and after a few simple words, he left with the box and left in despair. (To be continued......)
