Chapter 561: Blue and White Porcelain
Compared to Zhu Ting's possession of the jade pendant, Su Zhe wanted to know if he was involved in this matter. Of course, this belongs to thinking a lot, and Zhu Ting's back is relatively clear. As an entrepreneur and philanthropist, I have more or less done a little bit in business to achieve my goals, but on the whole it is good, and everyone can accept it.
"Do you suspect that the matter of the jade pendant is related to the counterfeiting gang?" asked Zhuge Lanteng.
"I have this idea, and there are four almost identical jade pendants at once, which is worth pondering. "In this matter, Su Zhe must pull Zhuge Lanteng in, just like he pulled himself in at the beginning, this is called courtesy.
There is a trading relationship between the two sides, and Zhuge Lanteng wants to get the reputation of the Antiques Association at this time, even if he knows that he has other purposes, he will be involved.
"President Zhuge , you should understand in your heart that the last accident has already made the people of the Cultural Affairs Bureau have opinions, if this counterfeiting gang is not extinguished, I am afraid that the situation will only develop for the worse. When some negative news is ingrained in people's minds and they want to turn around, it's not a matter of a day or two. β
After a pause, Su Zhe added, "You should know about the Qinghong Charity Foundation, after that incident, no matter how much you wash your name now, no one will believe it." They have been doing a lot of high-profile things lately, but in the eyes of people, they are simply fooling everyone for what they do. President Zhuge , you don't want people to think like this about you at that time. β
The purpose is clear, Su Zhe might as well take heavy medicine.
Zhuge Lanteng was silent, Su Zhe's purpose was very clear. It's just that now he's weighing what the benefits and disadvantages of mixing things are for him.
In today's society, no matter what you do, you are interested in interests. It's impossible to know a lot of disadvantages and dive into it, and if you really do that, you would be really stupid.
Su Zhe is not as simple as it seems, you must not know that the Zhou brothers have been planted in his hands repeatedly. If he hadn't been smart enough to choose to join forces with Su Zhe to resist Zhou Zhihui, it is very likely that he would be the one who is now in prison.
After being silent for a long time, Zhuge Lanteng raised his head and asked, "What should I do?"
Su Zhe knew that Zhuge Lanteng would choose to conspire with him in the end. Sorted out his thoughts and said: "You go and get in touch with Zhu Ting, after all, you go to find him, according to your identity, you are not as sensitive as I went to find him." β
Zhuge Lanteng frowned and said: "It's no problem for me to go to him, but what reason should I have? I can't just use the name of Yu Pei, wouldn't this make him see through the purpose at once." β
"It doesn't matter, in fact, it's better to let him know what you're going there than to turn the corner and let him know. As far as I know, Zhu Ting has a good reputation in the business world, and his reputation in the charity community is even more well-known. And he is much better than Chen Guanbiao, who always does things in a high-profile manner. But he has a habit of not liking other people's clichΓ©s. β
"If you go straight to it, if he doesn't know anything, according to his character, he might be able to help you, and if his philanthropist is only superficial, you will be wary if you go to him. Being wary of the enemy doesn't sound like a good thing, but some people, since they are quite famous, don't necessarily be old foxes. If he really has a share, in order to save his current reputation, he may be in a hurry to find someone to deal with it. β
Speaking of this, Su Zhe paused, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "In my opinion, of course, I hope he didn't get involved in this matter." After all, there are many philanthropists, but there are not many philanthropists like Zhu Ting who really do things for the poor. One less, then really one less. β
Zhuge Lanteng stopped talking, what Su Zhe said was the truth. Compared with the high-profile of others, Zhu Ting is convincing because he has always done practical things when doing charity. has today's reputation, which has been saved over the years, not by high-profile hype.
He also hoped that Zhu Ting would be fine, otherwise standing in the position of the president of the Antique Association, his approach would be no different from selling antique cultural relics, and he would not be allowed to continue to go unpunished.
finally agreed to cooperate with Su Zhe, after all, the last time they cooperated with the two of them, they each took what they needed. Regardless of whether Su Zhe had other purposes or not, at least he knew that the relationship between them was not an enemy
When Su Zhe got home, Qinglan came down from upstairs.
"You came back just in time to call you. β
"What did you find?"
"You come to the room, I'll give you two pictures to see. β
When he went up to the room, Su Zhe saw two photos of Qinghua porcelain on the computer screen. At first glance, there is not much difference between the two, and if you look closely, one of them has a lighter shade, and the other side has a pattern that is not neat enough.
"Can you guess which one is true?"
This really tested Su Zhe, the photo is not a real thing, and you can't use the perspective ability to tell if it has an ancient atmosphere.
Blue and white porcelain, also known as blue and white porcelain on white ground, often referred to as blue and white, is one of the mainstream varieties of domestic porcelain, belonging to underglaze colored porcelain. Blue and white porcelain is made of cobalt ore containing cobalt oxide as raw material, depicting ornamentation on the ceramic body, and then covering with a layer of transparent glaze, which is fired at one time by a high-temperature reduction flame. The cobalt material is blue after firing, and has the characteristics of strong tinting strength, bright color, high firing rate and stable color.
Blue and white porcelain was first seen in the Tang and Song dynasties, although it was different from that of later generations, it may not be formed, but it showed clues. And the really mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Hutian kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, blue and white became the mainstream of porcelain, which can be seen almost everywhere, and by the time of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, this variety reached its peak.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, influenced by the concept of blue and white porcelain, some craftsmen also created and burned blue and white five-colored, peacock green glazed blue and white, bean green glazed blue and white, blue and white red color, yellow ground blue and white, brother glaze blue and white and other derivative varieties.
The blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty has not been preserved much in modern times, and the specimens that people can see include more than 20 pieces of blue and white porcelain fragments unearthed in Yangzhou in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century; a blue and white striped complex in the collection of the Feng Pingshan Museum in Hong Kong; a floral pattern bowl in the collection of the Boston Museum in the United States; a fish algae pattern jar in the Copenhagen Museum in Denmark; and a pointillism plum pattern lid in the collection of the Nanjing Museum.
After all, after so many dynasties, coupled with the turmoil of war and chaos, with the emergence of new blue and white porcelain, not much has been preserved in the Tang and Song dynasties.
Qinglan asked Su Zhe to tell which one was true or false by looking at the photo, even if it was a 50 (percentile) probability, it was not easy to guess.
Looking at the computer photos for a long time, Su Zhe probably guessed that it was in the Ming Dynasty according to the patterns on it and the distribution of the colored glaze. The porcelain of each era has a shadow of that era.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Zhe pointed to the lighter one on the left and said, "I guess this one is fake." β
The corners of Qinglan's mouth hooked slightly: "It's really rare that you said something wrong, but it's a pity that you forgot to record it just now." β
Su Zhe rolled his face.
It's not surprising that he made a mistake in the photo, but he didn't guess by choosing the one with a lighter chroma on the left. He has come into contact with a lot of blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, and even the Yuan Dynasty is often seen. Compared with the three dynasties of Wu, Ming and Qing dynasties, regardless of the shape of porcelain, it still maintains a measure in terms of color.
"Actually, you're entering a misunderstanding, don't you know that fakes don't have any flaws?" Qing Lanwan chuckled, "When many laymen buy these things, they always feel that there are gaps or flaws in modern products. Because of manual reasons, it leaves flaws, and prefers another perfect one. You must know that many people just take advantage of the mentality of laymen and end up making a lot of money. β
This Su Zhe understands that some things are afraid of comparison, but some things want someone to compare.
He did walk into this misunderstanding just now, because he didn't touch the entity, and the one on the right in the photo was a little flawed, so he thought it was a machine on the workmanship. But he forgot that ancient firing and modern artifacts are more likely to leave imperfections.
"Where did you find these two pictures?"
"Guess again. β
Su Zhe quietly wiped a handful of sweat, how to guess this. Although guessing a woman's mind is more like looking for a needle in a haystack, this thing he doesn't know, let alone looking for a needle in a haystack, this is not a sea for him to fish.
Seeing Su Zhe like that, Qing Lanjiao laughed, "Okay, I won't tease you." This was passed on to me by my brother-in-law, and I asked him to check on some things. β
Kim Taipan?
This Su Zhe really couldn't guess, you must know that the relationship between Qinglan and Jin Taipan was in a very stiff state before this.
When did the two of them reconcile, Su Zhe didn't hear any signs from Qinglan at all.
Jin Taipan is an insider in the end, and he has a wide range of people, so it is indeed the best choice to ask him for help. Su Zhe had thought about it before, but it was just because of the relationship between Qinglan and Jin Daban, but he didn't expect him to look for Jin Daban, but Qinglan contacted him personally.
Listening to her call her "brother-in-law", probably the relationship between the two has warmed up.
Su Zhe didn't ask about this matter, looked at the two blue and white porcelain photos on the computer screen and asked, "Since there are photos, it means that these two things must be in whose hands, you ask Chairman Jin, can you contact the person who holds it." It's best if both of them are in contact, and you may be able to ask for a lot of clues. β
Qinglan smiled and said, "You are really a little lucky with this, you don't have to run around like you did before." The photograph was passed to me by my brother-in-law, and this blue and white porcelain happened to be in his possession, including the fake. β
"So coincidentally?"
"I don't know if it's a coincidence, but well, it's the Spring Festival in a few years, and I'm going to see my two nephews. So if you want to get the information, you can't save the money in the next fruit basket. β
