History has always had many opportunities that can be crossed by carelessness, and the current Chinese culture, which was once highly respected, has fallen to the bottom in an instant, and on the other hand, the traditional samurai class and the nobles are also rapidly bankrupting and being replaced by the scholar class and the chaebol class.

It is under this premise that a large number of Chinese cultural relics that were previously accumulated in the homes of the wealthy people in Yuben have been rapidly flowing out, and if they are not rare fine products, most of them are accumulated in the grocery streets of various parts of Yuben, and no one cares about them.

In Yueben, they have become waste, but in the Great Qing Kingdom, these things are still treasures left by the ancestors, and they are worth a lot of money.

This was a very short opportunity, after the First Sino-Japanese War, he regained the dignity of the strong, the economy began to rapidly become rich, a large number of rich and powerful people began to re-examine the value of traditional culture, and the antiques lost in the people were gradually collected back.

Hu Chuyuan happened to seize this small opportunity to make a little contribution to the preservation of Chinese culture.

At Pan's house, Shen Furong had already come back early and bought more than a dozen pieces of quaint cyan porcelain, especially a porcelain bowl in the shape of an eight-leaf lotus flower on the table to admire, and he was also having fun.

The porcelain bowl is half a foot square, quite large, the glaze is smooth and round, gray and green, like a plum.

After glancing at the big porcelain bowl, Wang Yirong smiled with Shen Furong: "Congratulations to Shopkeeper Shen, you have found another good thing!" ”

Shen Furong was not very sure, and said to Wang Yirong: "You can also help me figure it out!" ”

"Good!"

Actually, Wang Yirong is not very sure, but he just thinks that it is impossible to buy a fake with Shen Furong's eyesight.

He lifted the porcelain bowl to observe carefully, touched and pinched, and after a while said to Shen Furong: "Shopkeeper Shen, how much did you spend on this baby?" ”

Shen Furong said: "Not much, two foreign rounds!" ”

Wang Yirong sighed and said: "Congratulations, I have made too much money, this is an authentic boutique in the Longquan official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, and there is no flaw in the tire and glaze." The most rare thing is that there is a model, in the capital, such a good porcelain is worth at least this amount! ”

As he spoke, he held up a finger.

Shen Furong nodded slightly and said, "Ten thousand taels, not bad, and it's a good thing that can only be exchanged and not sold!" ”

Hearing them say this, Hu Chuyuan sighed more and more in his heart, although there are not too many such good opportunities, it is also worth setting up a branch in Kyoto to be responsible for purchasing cultural relics.

Shen Furong smacked his lips and said to Hu Chuyuan: "If you want me to say, you don't need to go to that auction at all, except for the fact that Mobao calligraphy and paintings are not easy to find, there are opportunities everywhere in this Muromachido, you have to rely on your eyesight." Said that I imitate our porcelain all the year round, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, like this porcelain bowl, I see more than a dozen at a glance, only this one is the best preserved, and it is genuine, the other is not the imitation of the folk kiln in Longquan, or my own antique imitation. ”

He pointed to some similar porcelain beside him, and said, "These, although they are also genuine, are a little broken, mainly because there are too many cracks, fine fragments, there is no way, and the preservation is not very detailed." It may not be easy to save it to this day, in China, each piece can still be sold for seven or eight hundred taels of silver, anyway, it has made a lot of money. ”

Hu Chuyuan said with a smile: "That's okay, when the auction is over, you will stay here and be responsible for the repurchase." Let others take care of the pawnshop's business, and when we have enough goods, we will go back to the capital to open an antique shop, and use the things purchased here to exchange those real boutiques. ”

Shen Furong said with a smile: "The owner, this is really a business without capital, I have to attach a share!" ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled: "Don't attach a share, it's weird." Since it is profitable, I will give you 300,000 taels of silver at a time, you don't have to pay a cent, you account for 30% of the shares, you just want you to run around, often go back to China and talk to me about things! ”

Shen Furong smiled and said: "You can't make money enough, the owner is benevolent, it's enough for me to take two percent of the shares, and then give one percent of the shares to Boss Pan." It's just that you have to tell me what kind of things the owner must keep, so that I don't change them if I'm not careful. ”

Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't know much about porcelain antiques, but I want to keep it at home to make a big deal." To put it bluntly, I'm just playing a show and paying attention to it. Say, what kind of stuff should I keep? ”

Shen Furong said: "A hundred precious porcelain is not as good as porcelain, but the most valuable porcelain is the Southern Song Dynasty porcelain, the late Ming Dynasty court painting porcelain, and the fine tribute porcelain of the Kangqian period, but unfortunately these things can not be seen in Muromachi, let's buy some porcelain antiques here that are still alive, slowly pounding, little by little tribute porcelain." ”

There are a lot of porcelain in China, but the number of porcelain that can really be called tribute porcelain and imperial porcelain is very rare, even if it is produced by the official kiln, it may not be a tribute to the royal family.

The reason why each piece of Yuan Qinghua is worth a lot of money is that each piece is a tribute porcelain, and the people do not have it at all, and some of them are also passed down by chance.

The opportunity to make a fortune is everywhere, and it depends on whether everyone can grasp it.

Shen Furong is a capable person, if he wants to get rich, he can buy a few gadgets by himself, and earn a few hundred taels on the left and a few hundred taels on the right, which is very easy.

He is willing to stay in the Hu family to serve, and what he pays attention to is benevolence and righteousness.

Hu Chuyuan also knew that these two shares might not be able to make a lot of money, and when the business was revitalized, he still had to give Shen Furong a very generous reward.

A few people collected the ancient porcelain books, and after dinner, Pan Rong came back and brought a local person to Hu Chuyuan.

The man was thin, not tall, dressed in a traditional kimono, with a black and thick mustache, the same age as Pan Rong, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, in the prime of life, restrained and bright.

As soon as he entered the door, Pan Rong introduced Hu Chuyuan: "Jin Gongzi, this is Mr. Koji Nakamura, the president of the Kapok Branch of Kyoto Nishijin Society, who used to be engaged in the import and export business of raw silk with me, and at that time, we still made some money!" ”

After speaking, he introduced Koji Nakamura and Hu Chuyuan again.

Hu Chuyuan has already dealt with several people in the past few days, and has an understanding of their characteristics, so he doesn't say much else, so he invites them to sit down and drink tea first.

Kyoto is the birthplace of the Yomoto tea ceremony and ikebana, and is also known as the "true Yomoto" and "the heart of Yomoto".

Here, even those who are a little more affluent are proficient in the tea ceremony and have a peculiar longing for good tea.

Hu Chuyuan used Kyoto's tea set to use the tea ceremony, and the tea leaves he used were still the unique Shifeng Lotus Heart he brought.

Sure enough, as before, Koji Nakamura was also full of praise for this kind of tea, and said: "Sure enough, your country is very profound, and my country will definitely not be able to produce such a superb heavenly tea, which is enviable!" ”
