Chapter 91: Rose Purple Glazed Sunflower Pots
The boss of "Qingxinzhai" is called Li Mu, although he looks like he is in his early sixties, but he is actually over seventy. 『Galaxy the Great, no pop-up ads to read. Li Mu's life can also be said to be a legend, he began to tinker with antiques and second-hand goods in the early eighties. Since people at that time didn't have any concept of antiques, he really bought a few good things at a low price by mistake. Later, after he asked a friend in Hong Kong to auction it out, he made a lot of money, and in this way he accumulated the first pot of gold in his life.
Since then, he has been out of control, making money as much as he wants, and in the late eighties, he specialized in collecting furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties scattered among the people. Whether it is huang flower pear, red sour branch wood, ebony, wenge, red sandalwood, etc., as long as it is an old object, he will take it away.
At that time, people did not realize the value of these furniture, as long as they gave him a little money, they sold it to him, and after he accumulated a certain amount, he sold all of them overseas. At that time, a red sandalwood table sold for as much as 325,000 US dollars overseas, equivalent to 2.7 million yuan. In this way, Li Mu soon became a super-rich man ranked high in the city.
In the late nineties, these Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture has been acquired by these antique dealers, and there are still at home, that is, they have realized the preciousness of these furniture, and they will not be sold so easily, and then they want to buy, they must spend a lot of money, so that the interests of the merchants began to be greatly reduced.
At this time, Li Mu decisively gave up the purchase of antique furniture, which was already equivalent to chicken ribs, and he turned his attention to jade investment. At the beginning, his income was quite good, and after a few years, the price of the large amount of jade seeds he hoarded began to rise sharply, which made him make a lot of money. In this way, through the accumulation of these years, his net worth reached hundreds of millions at the most.
After having money, he began to be confused, money was just a number to him, but he felt that he had no purpose in life. At this time, someone took him to participate in the rough auction of the Burmese jadeite market, and those who have been there will be extremely fascinated by that feeling after experiencing the extreme-chalty-pleasure-feeling of a knife in heaven and a knife in hell, and even the soul is trembling. Some people even have a kind of pathology, just like smoking-poisoning, usually they are unmotivated, and they feel bored to do anything, but as long as they come to the time of gambling stones, they will be a hundred times more energetic and radiant.
Li Mu soon became such a person, and after a few small bets at first, he tasted enough sweetness and became madly infatuated with this feeling. It's a pity that with twenty years of good luck, it seems that he has completely abandoned him at this time, and since then his gambling industry has completely fallen into a low ebb. No matter how good the wool he gambled was, every time he went down, he went straight to hell, and hell seemed to have become his hometown, and heaven was getting farther and farther away from him.
But the more this happened, the more unconvinced he became, like a gambler who had already lost his red eye, and did not believe that he would be so unlucky forever. Of course, his net worth can be said to be high in the city, but when it comes to the jade public market in Myanmar, it is nothing. Soon began to shrink, and his wife couldn't persuade him, so he ran away from home with his son in a last rage and disappeared.
However, at this moment, Li Mu has completely sunk, even if there are nine cows, he can't pull it back, he just doesn't believe that he will continue to lose like this, he is always thinking that if he can win once, then he can come back with anything.
When he spent 30 million yuan on a piece of all-gambling wool that performed quite well again, and for the last time, his heart was also trembling, because he also spent all the money on his body, this is the real heaven and hell. If the gamble fails, he will be penniless, if the gamble rises, and if it rises sharply, he can return to his former glory, but unfortunately Lady Luck still refuses to favor him anymore.
In his cao longitudinal stone cutter divided the piece of wool into twenty, his heart was also divided into two, because in addition to the stone is some crystals, there is no shadow of jade flesh at all, and he frantically divided the piece of wool that was obviously gambled into dozens of pieces, but there was still not even a little jade meat, at that moment, he was so desperate that he even wanted to die.
But in the end, he didn't die, but it was not much different from the walking dead, and after returning to the city, Li Mu was a mess every day, eating and waiting for death. Fortunately, when he was rich, he was still relatively cheerful, and he was good at fighting righteousness and squandering money, and he still made some solid friends, and Lin Kun's grandfather can be regarded as one of them. Now that he is down, there are still a few people who have reached out to him and helped him build this façade on this street, so that Li Mu can go back to his old business, but everything has to start from scratch.
Li Mu even named this antique shop "Qingxin Zhai", he also wanted to warn himself not to get lost again, and to truly achieve the word "Qingxin". He also put the woolen gravel that was cut on the jade plate back then, and put it under his nose to remind himself at any time.
Now it has been ten years since the craziest time, and it is difficult for Li Mu to regain his original glory, so he relies on this store to live an ordinary life, fighting with customers every day, talking with old friends, and seems to be living a very comfortable life.
As soon as Lin Kun entered the store today, he put forward his own request to Li Mu, he wanted to buy the most expensive thing in "Qingxinzhai", Li Mu hesitated, he didn't know what Lin Kun's so-called most expensive thing was?
Because he is an antique shop here, of course, most of them are guys, and they are all imitation crafts, but there are still some genuine goods. However, the value is not easy to judge, because the value of antiques itself does not have an absolute positioning, and it depends entirely on the preferences of collectors.
For example, if a person plays porcelain, he will feel that porcelain is more precious than other jade, wood, etc. In the same way, if a person likes to collect jade, then in his eyes, jade under the same conditions will be more valuable than other utensils.
Therefore, Lin Kun's brainless request made Li Mu very embarrassed, but Lin Kun's grandfather has given Li Mu a lot of help over the years and is his best friend, so he doesn't want to perfunctory his old friend's precious grandson. So Li Mu still reluctantly cut his love and took out a rose purple glazed sunflower pot that he had collected for a while.
This flower pot is a porcelain work of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is 15.8 cm high, 22.8 cm in diameter, 11.5 cm in diameter, the flower pot is sunflower shaped, the pot body is decorated with six convex and concave lines, the flower pot is evenly divided into six petals, like a blooming sunflower, rich and elegant, jing is beautiful.
According to the standards of the Song Dynasty, the porcelain flower pots are made of azure se, moon white se is the top grade, red se is expensive, purple se is respected, and the flower pots with different glazes inside and outside can be said to include the best face of porcelain at that time, which can be called the best in the flower pots.
The historical value of this pot is immeasurable, as its craftsmanship represents the first peak of porcelain production during the Song Dynasty. Li Mu was reluctant to sell it, especially when Lin Kun said that he was just betting with others, so he needed to buy it, Li Mu secretly shook his head in his heart, I really don't know how Brother Lin could have such a mixed grandson in his heroic life.
So Li Mu proposed that Lin Kun didn't need to spend money to buy this rose purple glazed sunflower pot, so he would lend it to Lin Kun, and after Lin Kun finished making a bet with someone, he would return this rose purple glazed sunflower pot to Li Mu, so that everyone would be happy.
Of course, Lin Kun also begged for it, if he really wanted to spend millions to buy a broken flower pot, he also felt that it was a waste of money, it was better to buy a yacht to play, and if it was okay, he could also ask a few beauties to go out to sea together, swimming, fishing, wouldn't it be much more interesting. So as soon as Li Mu made this proposal, Lin Kun agreed, and now that everything is ready, he just sat and waited for An Xin's two sisters and brothers to come to the net.
As soon as An Xin entered the "Qingxin Zhai", she was used to scanning the store with her internal force, and she found that there was a flowerpot-shaped porcelain on the table in front of Lin Kun that was exuding sisi spiritual power, and it seemed that the spiritual power it contained was no less than the red sandalwood stand in her hand.
An Xin's heart sighed, it seems that this shop is not only not small in area, but also has a bit of real material in it, unlike when I just walked around outside, more than 200 stalls, basically all of which are fakes.
At this time, Li Mu personally poured a pot of tea, the pot is one of the works of Chen Mansheng in the Qing Dynasty, the tea is Fujian's big red robe, of course, it can't be the product of the six tea trees. However, this tea is fragrant and fragrant, it should also come from Fujian, and the quality is also quite good.
Li Mureqing greeted: "Come, Xiao Kun, try my big red robe, it tastes very good." ”
Lin Kun said without comprehension: "I'm not used to drinking this thing, it's light, it doesn't taste at all, you better keep it and drink it slowly." ”
Li Mu didn't expect that he would put a cold ass on his hot face, and he was a little embarrassed holding the teapot for a while. At this time, An Xin happened to walk in front of Li Mu, and she also smelled the distant fragrance of tea, so she said with some interest: "The fragrance of tea is long and long, quiet and elegant, may I ask the old man, can I ask for a cup of tea?" ”
Li Mu is also too lonely, so even when Lin Kun, a hairy boy, comes, he will entertain him so warmly. Now a beautiful and polite girl came to him to ask for tea, how could he refuse, so he happily poured An Xin a cup of amber tea soup, and then said the word "please".
An Xin picked it up, drank it in one gulp, and then exclaimed: "It's really good tea." ”
Li Mu suddenly smiled, but Lin Kun sneered and said, "An Xin, don't please and sell here, let me tell you, the most expensive antiques in this store are now in my hands." I'm going to win this time, so just wait for me to be a maid, you have to remember, it's going to be the kind that fits me. After speaking, Lin Kun and his group all laughed.
Li Mu asked with some surprise: "Are you An Xin?" Is it Jinan International's eldest lady An Xin? ”
