Chapter 137: This Thing Is Wrong
100,000 euros is really not a big deal for Wu Wei, he doesn't pay much attention to how much balance he has on his ICBC general card now, anyway, he will send a batch of things to Baojuzhai and Qinbi Pavilion every once in a while, and the regular mobile phone will also ring the text message of the money on the bank card.
Of course, he doesn't have to carry a backpack to deliver goods in person as he did now, how to say that he is now a person with a net worth of more than 100 million, and a phone call will naturally be picked up by a special person.
It is worth mentioning that he has now established a solid relationship of trust with Wang Lao of Baojuzhai and Liu Lao of Qinbi Pavilion, and basically does not worry about being cheated in details. First, the second is that the old man's character is trustworthy, and secondly, because it is a long-term cooperation, all parties have huge profits in it, and no one will be so shallow to covet small profits.
What Wu Wei is most afraid of is to be careful everywhere and be vigilant everywhere, it is too tiring, and having a fixed partner also saves him a lot of worry, not to mention that he is also one of the major shareholders of Baojuzhai.
In the past six months, Bao Ju Zhai and Qin Bi Ge have become famous, one in the antique world, one in the jewelry industry has become the industry leader in Jiangcheng, and it has a lot of fame in the country, especially Bao Ju Zhai, in the past six months, there have been frequent boutiques in the autumn auctions of several major auction houses, and it has gathered a lot of eyeballs.
But this time, Wu Wei solemnly personally brought a box of antiques to Baojuzhai, responsible for accompanying and defending the largest security financial escort company in Jiangcheng, Wang Lao and Zhou Zhan were personally present, and the scene was like a great enemy.
Today can be regarded as the most important day since the establishment of Depot, because what will be unveiled is really extraordinary. After today, Bao Ju Zhai may establish the leading position in the domestic antique industry in one fell swoop.
For well-known reasons, Zhou Zhan did not invite media reports, but Wang Lao still invited six or seven important domestic cultural relics identification experts and collectors to observe on the spot.
When the back door of the escort car opened, a heavy red lacquered wooden box appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the sharp-eyed suddenly saw that this was a typical storage box style in the Ming Dynasty.
Li Qingqiu took the lead in leading the way, and several retired special forces with loaded guns and ammunition steadily lifted the wooden box down and transported it into the conference room that had already been prepared. Rao is her working in Baojuzhai for many years. It's a lot of knowledge. In the solemn atmosphere of the scene, the movements were also a little stiff.
Closing the gate, only a dozen people were left at the scene, including the staff, and the lights overhead had all been turned on, and everyone was waiting with bated breath.
Wu Wei exchanged glances with Zhou Zhan and Wang Lao. Elder Wang nodded to Li Qingqiu.
Li Qingqiu stepped forward. Insert the copper key that you have prepared long ago into the lock hole. With a slight twist, the old copper lock opened, and she set it aside. The lid of the case was opened.
All eyes suddenly focused on the contents of the box!
I saw that the space in the box was quite large, and it was stuffed with straw, and I vaguely saw that it was wrapped in porcelain and other things, and the amount was quite a lot.
The onlookers were slightly surprised, now for the precious porcelain is rarely used straw to package and transport, generally use high-grade sponge and other materials, the last famous straw package to transport precious cultural relics is still on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, that time the national government will be the Forbidden City cultural relics packed and transferred to the southwest, because the Japanese army forced the city, time is pressing, are used straw bran and other things packaging.
In this way, this treasure gathering is quite ancient.
Li Qingqiu put his hands on white gloves, carefully took out a porcelain cup no bigger than a palm, and put it in the spotlight, and everyone's eyes gathered.
"Hiss", a gasp for air.
"Chicken Cup!" An old man with gray hair blurted out.
The full name of the chicken bowl cup is "Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup", the shape of the vessel is open, shallow abdomen, lying foot, the whole cup body is less than the size of a palm, fired in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, because the rooster and hen are painted on the wall of the cup, so it is named.
Chenghua Doucai in the Ming Dynasty has been extremely precious, the value of the silver 100 taels, mostly for the palace royal use, a small amount of reward to the meritorious relatives and nobles, occasionally the people are all regarded as treasures. Wu did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to ask for "Rishengchang", and finally asked a big businessman to buy it from the Qin Wangfu in Xi'an at three times the market price. Speaking of which, the purchase price of each chicken bowl cup is 300 taels of silver, which is equivalent to almost 60,000 yuan of soft sister coins, which is also the price of cabbage.
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, in fact, even if you are a prince, you will not get along with silver, with this precedent, Wu Wei is confident that the good things of the royal relatives in various places will be cleaned!
What surprised everyone even more was still behind, only to see that Li Qingqiu did not stop moving, and took out two identical chicken bowl cups from the box one after another!
You know, the existing Ming Chenghua "Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup" is well documented only 19, of which in addition to the collection of the museum, only four 4 in the hands of private collectors, every time there is a chicken bowl cup in the auction will cause a sensation, and there are actually three at a time!
The gray-haired old man pointed to the chicken bowl cup, and impatiently asked Wang Lao for his consent with his eyes, and when he saw Wang Lao nodding, he impatiently put on the gloves handed over by the staff, picked up a chicken bowl cup and looked at the light. Wang Lao smiled and said to everyone: "Please don't worry, the purpose of inviting you here today is to ask you to identify the authenticity of this collection, and please give me advice." ”
Just kidding, isn't it just to build a reputation, if you don't look at me, I'm in a hurry.
The other two chicken bowl cups were also watched by everyone, and from time to time they also caused heated discussions.
Looking at the expensive chicken bowl cup in the hands of everyone, Wang Lao and the others were not very worried, it turned out that this conference room in Baojuzhai was often used to appreciate precious collections, on the floor, tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of velvet cushions, which was to prevent the porcelain from falling and breaking. Of course, everyone present is a famous person in the industry, and there are many precious antiques, and there are generally no accidents.
After a while, the white-haired old man exhaled, held the chicken bowl cup in his hand tightly, and muttered: "The style, color, clouds, bubbles, and blue and white are all matched, and there is no doubt that it is the real product of Chenghua!" ”
At this time, the opinions of several other experts also came out, one of the other two pieces was confirmed to be the Chenghua kiln, and the other was slightly controversial, but it was at least a copy of the Chenghua model in the Jiajing period, although the value was not as good as that of the Chenghua kiln, but it was also a very rare treasure.
There are at least two genuine pieces of three chicken bowl cups! This result immediately shocked the audience.
On April 8, 2014, at the spring auction of Sotheby's Hong Kong, a Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup from Mei Yin Tang was auctioned by Shanghai collector Liu Yiqian for 280 million Hong Kong dollars after eight bids.
In other words, even if the third chicken bowl cup is an imitation of Jiajing, the value of these small wine glasses in front of you will exceed 500 million Hong Kong dollars!
Look at the volume of the wooden box, it is obvious that there are many fine products, if the value of these collections is similar to the chicken bowl cup, then how much should it be worth? All of the senior industry insiders present were stunned by this possible prospect.
Unexpectedly, Wu Wei was still secretly slandering in his heart, he was actually pitted by Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, and he repeatedly emphasized that what he wanted was the real thing of Chenghua, but he actually stuffed a copy of Jiajing in it!
However, it may be that the people of the Ming Dynasty themselves can't tell the difference, just like people today don't care about the difference between one-dollar coins in different years.
In addition to being shocked, everyone was also extremely curious about the origin of this collection, and some people even speculated whether it was also leaked from Mei Yin Tang, but Wang Lao just smiled and did not answer, and everyone understood the rules of the antique shop, so they did not delve into it.
Wang Lao has never seen the true face of this batch of collections before, Wu Wei has sent him a list of items on the Internet, but it is not very clear, only know that it is worth a lot of money, far more than all the previous collections, at this time to see the chicken bowl cup was identified as genuine by everyone, I couldn't help but feel relieved, but the shock in my heart was no less than that of everyone present.
You know, he also took on a lot of pressure this time, completely out of trust in Wu Wei, and invited the industry bigwigs with his old face, if it was identified as a fake, then his reputation for decades would be wiped out, but even he never expected that the first collection would be so shocking!
As for Zhou Zhan, he also knows the weight of the chicken bowl cup, and he is already busy calculating how much profit he can get from it.
Several staff members were busy taking pictures of the chicken bowl cups, and after making a register, they were carefully packed and put into the collection warehouse, all under the monitoring of more than a dozen cameras.
With the foundation of the first collection, everyone is looking forward to the second piece even more, and they all expect it to be a rare treasure.
Although they were fully mentally prepared, when Li Qingqiu took the second collection out of the box and put it on the table, everyone was still stunned.
In front of me is the legendary Yuan blue and white four love plum bottle!
Wang Xizhi's love for Lan, Tao Yuan's love for chrysanthemum, Zhou Dunyi's love for Lian, Lin Hejing's love for Mei He, four sketches surround the bottle.
The shape of the whole utensil is dignified and steady, the fetus is white and dense, the blue and white hair color is green and colorful, and the vivid expressions of the characters painted in the bottle are particularly wonderful.
The blank space of the picture is lined with pines, plum bamboos, and mountain stones, which appear to be scattered. The plum vase is not only exquisitely decorated, but also the white glaze is clean and moist, the blue and white materials are appropriate, the hair color is bright, rich in layering, and the vigorous rubbing porcelain brushwork makes the picture have the wonder of danqing, and the whole body exudes a lustrous luster, which can be called a masterpiece.
Jiangcheng is the capital of Huyang Province, a major province of cultural relics in China, and the treasure of the Huyang Provincial Museum is a Yuan blue and white four love plum vase!
In 2005, the auction price of the Yuan Qinghua Guiguzi Xiashan large pot was 230 million Hong Kong dollars.
In 2011, Yuan Qinghua Xiao He Yue chased Han Xinwen plum vase at an auction price of 680 million Hong Kong dollars.
There was silence at the scene, only the heavy breathing of everyone was heard.
Suddenly, an old man broke the silence and shouted, "This thing is not right! (To be continued......)
