Chapter 425: Alternative Bargaining
Zeng Lao smiled bitterly and said: "This is not valuable? This is the best 'Tieguanyin King'! This is a pound and a half of a pack, right? These two boxes are worth more than 200,000 yuan!"
Zhou Deqing laughed and said: "My own products are not so expensive. The main reason is that this tea is mainly high-end, and the output is also small, which is why it is sold so expensive. But what about the cost...... Anyway, it's not a valuable thing, so you can take it!"
Zeng Lao is also a principled person, and he has only known Zhou Lao for a long time, how can he accept such a valuable tea? The tug-of-war between the two lasted for about ten minutes, and Zeng Lao proposed: "Otherwise, I'll spend money to buy it, okay?" He is also a good tea person, and it is impossible to miss such a good "Tieguanyin King" when he encounters such a good "Tieguanyin King". You must know that this "Tieguanyin King" is hard to find one or two on the market! There are many Tieguanyin in Qingxi, but how many old trees are there? Even if there are tea gardens with old trees, who has the tea-making skills that are comparable to those of the "Tea King"?
Some things can be bought. There are some things that you can't buy with money, just like this "Tieguanyin King". If it weren't for the skilled tea master, the fried "Tieguanyin King" would only be defective. Zhou Deqing's requirements for the quality of tea are almost to the point of being harsh.
Coupled with the fact that the quality of new tea has been declining more and more in recent years, this kind of "Tieguanyin King" is something to drink a little less, and there is definitely room for appreciation in the future. If you are a real tea ceremony enthusiast, not to mention that this tea can be obtained for hundreds of thousands, even if it is twice as expensive, they are all willing to eat it!
Although things are good, they can't accept heavy gifts from others for no reason. Zeng Lao is not this kind of greedy person, so he proposed to buy it.
Zhou Deqing is a rich man, and he really doesn't care about hundreds of thousands of things, but when he met the stubborn Zeng Lao, he was still defeated: "It's okay to buy it, but it has to be at my price...... Thirty thousand is good, things are not worth ......"
"Old Zhou, are you deceiving me and not knowing how to do it? This box of tea will cost 130,000 yuan!" Zeng Lao said with a wry smile.
"Where can I use so much as 130,000? Since we are friends, we should calculate according to the factory price, and you can give 35,000. Zhou Deqing shook his head and said, obviously thinking that the price was "inflated".
But Zeng Lao knew that this was definitely the market price, but Zhou Deqing insisted so much, he still lowered it a little: "Then I will give 125,000 ......"
......
The two started a tug-of-war that lasted for more than ten minutes. In the end, after some weird "bargaining", the two agreed that Zeng Lao would take the box of tea for 60,000 yuan.
Tang Chen saw that they had discussed the results, and he also said with a smile: "In this case, I will also buy it and take it back to my father to taste......
Hearing this, Zhou Deqing immediately became anxious: "Little master, I always bought it, because he can't help me with anything." But since you helped me draw the talisman, this is what I gave you, even if it is a deposit!"
Tang Chen was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Old Zhou, you may not know that this talisman actually doesn't have much aura, and it is extremely volatile, after all, it is just a piece of thin paper, and it can last for half a year at most." And I'm in Panzhou, such a talisman is sold for 5,000, and your gift is more than 100,000 yuan, I ...... I can't ask for it anyway!"
Zhou Deqing grimaced: "Little master, this is your mistake." As the so-called courtesy is exchanged, doing business has to be like this. You think you're taking advantage, but I think I'm the one taking advantage. To be honest, if I hadn't happened to meet you, I would still be struggling with how to solve this matter. In terms of time cost, the time I saved is much higher than the value of these tens of thousands of yuan of tea. ”
Tang Chen was embarrassed for a while: "But I can't take advantage of it like this?"
Zeng Lao, who was on the side, was swiping his card on the POSS machine, and he had just entered the password, and said to Tang Chen with a smile: "Master Tang, this is very easy to do! Since Zhou Lao gave you tea, won't you send a magic weapon to Zhou Lao?"
Tang Chen's eyes lit up: "Old Zhou, I don't know if you know the master of porcelain burning? If you do, now go and order two porcelain dolls, which must be a man and a woman, and they must be kneaded with a ball of mud, and there must be a dark grid inside." Except for the ornamentation, the size and shape of the others are exactly the same. ”
Zhou Deqing was stunned: "What is this going to do?"
Zeng Lao smiled and said: "Old Zhou, Master Tang is going to give you a consecrated magic weapon! I won't tell you the truth, Master Tang's consecrated magic weapon, many people can't buy it if they want to! Not to mention tens of thousands of yuan, even if it is a bid of hundreds of thousands, there are many people." For example, I asked Master Tang not long ago to transfer an obsidian Guanyin statue to me, and it cost me 200,000 yuan, which is still a friendship price......"
Zhou Deqing's eyes lit up: "In Fujian Province, the most important thing is porcelain." ”
This is not a lie, ceramics are fragile, land long-distance transportation is very inconvenient, therefore, with the rise of Quanzhou Port, Zhangzhou Moon Port, Xiamen Gate Port and other ports, the demand for porcelain in overseas markets continues to increase, many areas of Fujian Province take advantage of superior natural conditions, local materials to fire ceramics, a large number of porcelain kilns rise. Among them, there is no shortage of famous kilns and famous products. For example, the porcelain capital Dehua is a county under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture. There are many mountains, water feet, rich minerals and beautiful porcelain in Dehua, which is known as the "treasure house of Fujian". It has a long history of ceramic production and is the birthplace of Chinese ceramic culture and one of the three ancient porcelain capitals.
With the development of overseas trade of Quanzhou Port's commercial system engineering, Dehua porcelain has been sold well overseas and has become an important commodity of the "Maritime Silk Porcelain Road". In the Northern Song Dynasty, Dehua was represented by the Wanbanglun kiln, and its porcelain-making process has been the technology of color wheel making, molding and tire joint molding. A large number of celadon, blue and white porcelain, white porcelain, bowls, plates, cups, saucers, bottles, jars, pots, boxes, washes, vases are fired in large quantities, and a small amount of black glazed tea bowls are fired. The decoration method is mainly carving, scratching and printing, and the surface of the porcelain is decorated with lotus petals, peonies, clouds, banana leaves, tangled flowers, as well as patterns such as slices, chrysanthemum petals, sunflower patterns, wheat ears, and curly grass, which are found in Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other places. By the time of the Southern Song Dynasty, the porcelain kiln firing technology had developed rapidly, and the fired white porcelain had reached a very high level with large shape, thin carcass, moist glaze, high whiteness and strong light transmittance.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Dehua porcelain industry entered a new period of development. Whether it is the shape of the utensils, firing technology, product quality, production varieties, technology level, decorative arts and other aspects of the comprehensive development level is far above the Song and Yuan dynasties. The porcelain sculpture represented by He Chaozong is famous all over the world and is known as the treasure of "Oriental Art" and "the common treasure of the world". The unique "ivory white" (built white porcelain), the glaze color is milky white, such as fat like jade, the tone is plain and elegant, known as the representative of Chinese white porcelain, enjoying the reputation of "China white" and "international porcelain pearl", and the porcelain culture of Fujian Province can be seen.
Even Zeng Lao was obsessed with collecting because he felt the porcelain culture of his hometown.
