Chapter Seventy-Four: Ezkena

Because of this thought, Shakru did not refuse, but asked, "Why does this Ezkena sound so familiar to me, what does he do?" ”

"Mr. Ezkena is a well-known collector and jeweller in London, England, and has always had extensive and close ties with our company, so it is difficult for us to refuse his request, but you can rest assured that he has a lot of good things in his hands." Imran explained.

Imran said this, Shakru finally remembered who this Ezkena is, in his previous life he liked to read online novels, once saw a description of him in a collection of texts, this Ezkena's ancestor was like the French Frey family, one of the officers of the Eight-Nation Coalition who sacked Beijing, so he has a lot of Chinese heirlooms, it is said that among the top ten sky-high Chinese porcelain auction records, three pieces are from their family.

Therefore, Shakru began to move his heart, if he exchanged these ten gold oil lamps for a few Chinese heirlooms, it would definitely be a business that would only make money and not lose money, because now (that is, in 1991) China's economy has not yet developed, and Chinese does not have much money in his hands, so the price of Chinese antiques in the world has not yet been hyped, and it is even far from being taken seriously, so if you start at this time, the price must be very low, and after ten or twenty years, the price of these antiques will rise to an extremely terrifying number. In addition, from the perspective of a Chinese in Shakru, Chinese antiques still look more pleasing to the eye than Indian ones, and are more in line with their own aesthetic vision.

So Shakru thought for a moment, and replied, "Well, you can contact this Mr. Ezkenner." ”

On the third day, Ezkenna came to Triplante with his appraiser, and after carefully examining the ten gold oil lamps in the bank vault to make sure that they were genuine, Ezkenna said: "Dear Mr. Pandit, thank you for accepting my offer, I wonder what kind of art you would like to exchange?" ”

Without hesitation, Shakru replied: "Since you are from England, Mr. Ezkenner, I will exchange some British paintings, jewelry, or sculptures, and I wonder what fine works you have?" ”

Hearing Shakru say this, Ezkenna looked a little embarrassed: "This, it's really embarrassing to say, I don't have a lot of British art in my hands, but I have a lot of very beautiful art from other countries, I don't know if I can exchange it?" ”

In fact, the so-called exchange of British art is just a negotiation technique of Shaklu, no matter what kind of British art Ezkenner comes up with, he will be dissatisfied, and he has also heard that this Ezkenner does not have any good British art, so he is just inducing him to say it himself and exchange it with other countries' artworks, so that he can dominate the negotiation.

So Shakru asked, "Then I wonder what kind of national art you have, Mr. Ezkenner?" ”

Ezkena thought for a moment, then said, "There are Chinese, Turkish, South American, and Central Asian art, but most of them are Chinese art. ”

"Chinese art? But now the price of Chinese art in the world is not high! Shakru said with a pretended frown.

Ezkena hurriedly explained: "In fact, Chinese porcelain is unparalleled in the world, don't you see that even the name of the country is porcelain, the reason why the international price is not high now, is because international collectors have not paid attention to this for the time being, and when they start to pay attention, the price will definitely skyrocket." ”

Sha Keru pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then pretended to be very reluctant and said: "Okay, I'll take a look at what Chinese art you have there, but I want to explain to you one thing, since the current market price of Chinese art is not high, the number of Chinese art I need to exchange will have to increase, at least twenty Chinese art works that satisfy me can be exchanged for these ten golden oil lamps." ”

For Ezkenna, as long as Shakru can answer the question of using Chinese art to exchange for gold oil lamps, as for the quantity, he doesn't care, because there are too many Chinese artworks in his hands, although just now he kept telling Shakru that the price of Chinese art will definitely soar in the future, but he himself is not sure about this at all, so it is safer to exchange a batch first, and the ancient Indian artworks in his hand are still blank, just take this opportunity to make up for it.

So he said, "Mr. Pandit, because my antiques are in London, and I didn't bring them this time, or else I invite you to come to my castle in London, and then we will talk in detail when we see the real thing, shall we?" ”

Shakru nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to make a list of the Chinese art masterpieces you have in your hand first, so that I can be prepared before I go to London." ”

"That's no problem, I'll sort it out when I get back, and then I'll send you a fax, then I'll be waiting for you in London!" Ezkenna readily agreed.

Within two days, Ezkenna sent Shakru a list of his collections, and when he saw the list, he felt like he was almost suffering from a heart attack, because the collections on the list were so scary!

"Southern Song Dynasty Official Kiln Brush Wash"

"Song Jun kiln, kiln becomes a bowl!"

"Northern Song Dynasty, Dingyao pattern flat ground"

"Northern Song Dynasty, a pair of plum bottles in Dingyao!"

"Yuan Qinghua, fish algae pattern big jar!"

"Wanli colorful bottle!"

"Yuan Qinghua, Guiguzi descending the mountain picture jar!"

“”

Although Sha Kelu is not a collector, but in his previous life, China's national collection craze and the popularity of various collection and treasure appreciation columns, so he still knows some basic knowledge, such as "family wealth is not as good as a piece of Jun kiln" and so on, so when he saw these things on the list, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Two pieces of Yuan blue and white, two pieces of Song Ding kiln porcelain, and there is actually a Jun kiln porcelain that has undergone a kiln change, could it be that Ezkena dug up the porcelain site of the Song official kiln?

There are three of the porcelain of the five famous kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty on this fax paper, and the Jun kiln is still the porcelain that has undergone kiln changes, and its value is far better than that of ordinary Jun kiln ware.

You must know that the ancients fired kilns, and the understanding of kiln porcelain was more superstitious, such as "Qingbo Magazine" said: "Jingdezhen, Raozhou, there are kiln changes in the big view, the color is red like cinnabar, the thing is abnormal for the demon, and the kiln is broken." ”

Most of the kiln workers who saw the kiln porcelain were destroyed, so there are very few kiln porcelain that have been handed down to this day, and the kiln porcelain from the Jun kiln is even rarer.

These are nothing, the most terrifying thing is the Guiguzi descending picture jar of Yuan Qinghua!
