Chapter 919 Value
"Well, there's a shipwreck, and this time it's not all the porcelain on the ship, but also a cheatbook, that thing, it's very important to me." Han Peacock said.
"Not a treasure? But cheats? When did my brother's heart become so simple? Han Ronghua didn't believe it at all.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Didn't you say it?" There must be porcelain, but the cheats are the point, but this time it is not so easy to achieve the goal, because the cheats are just my guesses, and it is likely that the owner of the cheats will be taken out of the ship, so that the sunken ship can only harvest some porcelain. ”
"It's nice to get some porcelain." Han Ronghua despised the way.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "I didn't say I wasn't satisfied!" ”
"What's there?" Han Ronghua was still a little curious.
Han Peacock said: "I don't know what it is, this can only be determined after it is salvaged, but some porcelain has been salvaged from the bottom of the sea in Yue before, and they are all fished out from the bottom of the sea at the southern tip of the Jinou Peninsula in Yue Kingdom." ”
"Huh? has been fished by others, how much is left? Han Ronghua said.
Han Peacock said: "That ship is more special, when passing through the Jinou Peninsula in Vietnam, it encountered an island, and finally there was a fire on the ship, the ship sank, and the porcelain salvaged by the Vietnamese government was salvaged from the steamer that was destroyed by the fire, and the ship I salvaged was the pirate ship that robbed the freighter at that time." ”
"So, the value of this pirate ship must be higher than the value of the cargo ship salvaged by Yue Guo? How much benefit did Yue Guo get that time? Han Ronghua asked.
"It was porcelain from 300 years ago, and it had been auctioned. You turn on the computer, and I'll look it for you. After speaking, Han Peacock provided Han Ronghua with some keywords, and quickly searched for relevant content.
For three hundred years, nearly three centuries, such porcelain is on preview, which naturally attracts many people to watch, so pictures are indispensable.
This is a collection of 75,000 shipwrecks auctioned in Amsterdam dating back to 1725. The total estimate is €2 million.
In the live showcase. A dozen small blue and white bowls are glued and overlapped to resemble a conch, because the Chinese merchant ships carrying the porcelain were supposed to sail to Europe. But there was a fire on the deck halfway through. Sunk off the coast of Vietnam.
The porcelain melted and stuck together due to the high temperature of the fire. Transformed into "conchs", some of these fine porcelain, which had been sleeping on the seabed for 300 years, were fished up by local fishermen in Vietnam in 1998. See the light of day again.
After the news of the fishermen's illegal salvage was exposed by the media, the Vietnamese government immediately salvaged the sunken ship and recovered the fishermen's fishermen.
Most of the salvaged porcelain came from Jingdezhen and was of excellent quality, including blue and white tea sets, porcelain boxes, beer mugs and brightly colored glazed dolls, etc., and the shape and pattern can be seen that this batch of porcelain was specially made for the European market for Chinese export porcelain.
"Seventy-five thousand pieces sold for two million euros? That's not worth much, right? Han Ronghua was a little surprised, this treasure she imagined was far from it, so many porcelain, it was actually worth two million euros.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "First, it was more than ten years ago, and now Hailao porcelain must have increased in value, second, Hailao porcelain is almost all civilian porcelain, that is to say, most of the porcelain exported at that time was defective products that were not used by the domestic royal family, and third, that batch of porcelain was melted by fire."
Of course, what is not melted must be corroded by marine organisms, so, on the whole, its value is a little lower, you have to hear clearly, it is only a little lower, you must know that two million euros, converted into RMB is more than 15 million, so 75,000 pieces of Hailao porcelain sold for 15 million is not less. ”
"It took more than a month of hard work, hard work, and fear to earn 15 million, what is there to be proud of in doing this? With this time, it is better to take good care of our breakfast chain, our 700 chain stores, the daily profit is more than 7 million, and 15 million is only two days' profit. Han Ronghua pouted.
Han Peacock thought about it, isn't that so?
Originally, he would be happy if he could fish out something worth fifteen million from the sea, but now, in more than a month, he really has nothing to be happy about.
However, he couldn't be despised by his sister, so Han Peacock said: "You are wrong, you must know that there are many shipwrecks in the South China Sea, and in each shipwreck, there are not only tens of thousands of porcelain, but hundreds of thousands, if it is a shipwreck returning to the city, the shipwreck is often filled with gold, silver and jewelry." ”
"Maybe it's spices or something, if it's really spices or other goods, then this wreck is of no value, and besides, what we export now is inferior?
Since we are now exporting the best things, would the ancient times keep the good things for themselves and use the defective products to make money? It's illogical! Han Ronghua didn't understand anything, so he quickly caught the loophole in his eldest brother's words.
Han Peacock is a little speechless, his sister is really not good to fool, the ancient export porcelain (folk kiln) are the fine products of the kilns at that time, the ancient kilns, potters, and traders in order to sell at a good price, are to select the best utensils to sell for money, leaving the worst for their own use, so there is an ancient proverb: porcelain burners eat lack (lack refers to the defective vessel).
Of course, Han Peacock is not completely fooling Han Ronghua, because in ancient times, all the varieties of porcelain exported were relatively single, and they were inseparable from utensils such as plates, bowls, bowls, altars, jars, etc., and it can be seen from the utensils out of the water that it is mainly Fu and Jianqing porcelain, supplemented by Zhejiang and Jianglong porcelain, so its value cannot be very high.
According to the records of auctions of Hailao porcelain by auction institutions at home and abroad in recent years, combined with the market transaction price of Hailao porcelain (genuine) in the domestic market, the online valuation is still slightly conservative.
"Do you know the Nanhai No. 1 shipwreck, which is a sensation in China? The market valuation of that batch of celadon ware in the Southern Song Dynasty is only worth 2,000 yuan per piece, and if there are 60,000~80,000 complete pieces, the total value will exceed 120 million ~ 160 million yuan.
However, according to the long-term experience in collecting and researching sea-fished porcelain, there is a 40% chance that the porcelain salvaged from the sea will be intact and undamaged.
Its damage process is strict, in the sea soaked in seawater for hundreds of years, even after the water after dehydration, desalination treatment, more than 60% of the glaze of the utensils is eroded and damaged, its value will not be much less, if the preservation is slightly better, then the harvest will be great.
Therefore, no matter how you calculate, salvaging a shipwreck is the rhythm of getting rich overnight, you must know that a ship is calculated according to the transportation of 300,000 pieces of porcelain, the complete pieces are about 120,000 pieces, and the well-preserved ones can also reach 40,000 or 50,000 pieces, so the value of a sunken ship is definitely more than you imagine. ”
"How can I hear something a little different from what you say?" At this moment, catkins walked into the room.
"Finished the meeting?" Han Peacock looked at the willow catkins who walked in and said.
Liu Wu said: "It's over, there aren't many things I need to deal with here from today on." ”
"That's good! This way you also have time to take care of the child a little more. Han Peacock said happily.
"Sister-in-law, tell me, what have you heard?" Han Ronghua was more interested in the shipwreck.
"Let's just say that the Nanhai No. 1 shipwreck that your eldest brother mentioned just now, in order to salvage the water, the state invested more than 800 million yuan in the salvage of a huge amount of money, and the value of the cultural relics salvaged from the Nanhai No. 1 ancient shipwreck is only worth 160 million yuan.
Isn't that a bit of a loss worth the cost? And are there so many pieces of porcelain? Are there so many completers? These still have to stretch their necks and wait and see, so the treasure hunt activity of salvaging the shipwreck is actually similar to gambling, a game that men are looking for excitement to play. Liu Wu finally came to a conclusion.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "You are generalizing, why would Nanhai No. 1 lose money?" That's because the country is the overall excavation and salvage of the South China Sea No. 1 ancient shipwreck, although it has created an unprecedented example in the history of salvage in the world, but if there is a result that outweighs the losses, it will become a famous and unrealistic face project.
Since the discovery of the Nanhai No. 1 ancient shipwreck in 1987, it has been twenty years since the discovery of the ancient shipwreck in China, and the experts in China's cultural relics and archaeology circles (a Japanese archaeological group also participated in the investigation) have studied and demonstrated for six years, and there has been enough time to verify how to salvage in order to benefit the country and the people, but the result is that a lot of money and manpower have been invested, and an overall salvage method has been used to outweigh the losses.
The history of foreign sea salvage shipwrecks is decades earlier than China's, its professional experience in sea salvage is richer than China's, and its sea salvage equipment is more advanced than China's, but why don't foreign salvage agencies carry out overall salvage at sea?
Could it be that they have no experience or advanced equipment and capital investment? In fact, the overall salvage of the wreck outweighed the loss, and they stopped! Because the overall salvage is basically the same as the salvage of cultural relics directly in the shipwreck cabin on the seabed.
It's just that after the overall salvage, the cultural relics in the wreck are relatively intact, and the loss will be relatively less, but the time and capital investment will be much larger, and the loss of the cultural relics in the direct salvage of the wreck will be larger, but the time and capital investment will be much less, not only the time is less, but the salvage water of the complete vessel has no impact at all, and the loss is only those insignificant mutilated vessels.
Therefore, in the end, no matter which way is used for salvage, the cultural relics must be taken out of the sediment of the shipwreck cabin in order to determine their variety, age, quantity, and value, and show them to people to visit and study! The result is the same, but the cost is different. (To be continued......)
