Chapter 54: The Origin of Enamel

As the saying goes, if you don't see through it, it is not easy to survive in every profession, if Jiang Ge reminds the shopkeeper Xu that he must be known by the boss, these liars who wander the rivers and lakes are shrewd.

Eyes and deceived each rely on their ability, and picking up leaks itself is true or false, depending on whose means are more clever.

"It's me who confessed, I'm sorry Brother Jiang."

Shopkeeper Xu came back to his senses and knew that he had lost his sense of proportion under the anger just now, so he hurriedly apologized, but his heart was already knotted.

"Shopkeeper Xu is polite, I wanted to remind you secretly just now, but when I think about what you haven't seen in the industry for decades, you must know it, but you didn't want to make a misunderstanding."

Jiang Ge replied nonchalantly, the two are not destined to be at the same level, the other party is just a part-time worker, character and ability determine development, and if you offend, you will be offended.

"Oh, really?" Shopkeeper Xu raised his eyebrows and hugged Long Ye slightly, "I still have something to do in my store, so I won't bother Yaxing, and I'll leave first." ”

"Hmm!"

Long Ye's face remained unchanged, and he naturally knew that Shopkeeper Xu was angry, but in fact, he also looked down on this guy's behavior.

After he left, Long Ye sighed slightly and said, "This is the original manager Tang of the Hutchison pawnshop, but he is a delicate person, compared to the shopkeeper Xu, he is too small, it is difficult to become a big tool, and it is estimated that he will have to carry it in the future." ”

He has seen too many people in Vanity Fair, and he is very accurate about seeing people.

looked at Jiang Ge again, "Young man, you are not like a person who has just entered the industry, you are old and capable, but you have cheated Lao Xu." ”

"Master Long said with a smile, I don't mean to pit the shopkeeper, I can't say it if he hits the eye, otherwise the other party will think that I will hurt his face with a small bully." Jiang Ge hurriedly explained, but he didn't want to memorize the image of an old yin ratio.

"This is also true, that old Xu has a good face, and he is only half a bucket of water."

"Why, the two of us are together, we happen to be together for a long time, and we have to accept new ideas?" Long Ye nodded and made an invitation.

Jiang Ge was a little surprised, but naturally he was happy, and he also wanted to learn some secrets of the antique industry from the other party.

"Not far in front of the famous Tonggu Fang, specializing in selling some porcelain calligraphy and painting and other treasures, there are some foreign antiques, said to be genuine, in fact, a lot of cats, bullying some money and stupid rich people, the boss is said to be Fusang, I often go there recently to step on the plate, I can't get used to these guys to make our money."

"How about it, do you want to go and see it?"

The two walked for a few minutes and came to the door of a huge storefront, and Long Ye pointed to it with a smile.

Jiang Ge laughed instantly, he didn't expect Long Ye to have a patriotic plot, but he liked this kind of thing the most, and he couldn't get used to seeing these foreign capitalists sucking blood here.

So he looked interested, "Of course I'm interested, I'm curious how these guys operate?" ”

He also heard about the rampant foreign capital in the antique world of the Dragon Kingdom in the 90s, countless national treasures were bought at low prices, and in the end, they had to be bought back at a high price in China.

Take the Eagle Sauce National Dragon Head incident as an example, the country wanted to take back the dragon head of the Chinese zodiac, and it cost 300 million US dollars for the other party to let go, and finally the museum had to stop with tears, until a rich man spent a few years ago to buy it back at a high price and give it to the country.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Fusang stole countless precious Buddhist murals from the Mogao Grottoes in China, resulting in the loss of national treasures and a gap in archaeological and historical exploration.

With the rise of the country in recent years, many rich people have been born and some precious national treasures have been bought, but there are still many antiquities scattered abroad.

As Jiang Ge entered Tonggufang, he had to be impressed by the other party's courage.

Tonggufang covers an area of about 200 square meters, and the decoration is antique and solemn.

The brackets for placing antiques are all made of mahogany, and they are full of porcelain from various dynasties, small blue and white, white porcelain, colored glazed porcelain, and all kinds of official kilns and private kilns.

Bronzes and jade of all dynasties and generations, calligraphy and painting in everyone's style, ancient Buddha statues, and various jade carvings.

There are all kinds of people in the hall, there are special female sales commentators who are selling, uniformly wearing split cheongsam, the meat on the chest is tender, and I don't know whether they are selling antiques or meat.

"Well, it's a nice place to be, isn't it?"

Long Ye was extravagant, and as soon as he entered, he was targeted by the salesman in the store, and a woman with a height of one meter seven and wearing a cheongsam walked over.

"The two of you want to see antique jade, Tonggufang is the largest shop in the neighborhood, and it will definitely not disappoint the guests."

She is tall, like a supermodel, and her exposed white legs are eye-catching, especially when she bends down to reveal half of the roundness that makes people drool, and the assistant with the bag can't help but swallow his saliva.

"Is there enamel, the best kind?"

Long Ye seemed to have not seen the woman's appearance, he looked very calm, he had never seen anything at his age, and he had already been immune to women.

"You're asking the right person, I'm the first in the enamel industry in Tonggufang, come with me!"

The sales lady was very enthusiastic, and felt that today's performance commission had a spectrum, and took a few people to a shelf with a dazzling array of enamells on it.

"These are all enamels that have been brought back from foreign countries, including those of the Tang Dynasty and the Qing and Ming dynasties, all of which are folk treasures."

"You see, this copper enamel snuff bottle is exquisitely made, it is the top level of Western European craftsmanship, and it is sold abroad for at least more than one million dollars, and you also know that China's enamel technology is also imported from foreign countries, and foreign technology is better than us in this regard."

The sales lady is obviously professionally trained, and she also knows the basics of enamel, and she begins to concentrate on sales.

Long Ye ignored her and looked at Jiang Ge, "Does Xiao Jiang know anything about enamel, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Long Ye's inquiry, Jiang Ge looked upright and glanced at the woman, "I don't agree with your statement, enamel ware, also known as enamel, was originally introduced into the Yuan Dynasty from the Great Food Country, and was developed in the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties. ”

"Yes, Xiaoyou is right, my country has always been a leader in the porcelain luxury industry, how can foreign technology be compared."

Long Ye was also full of joy, he didn't expect Jiang Ge to know so much about enamel.

The young lady was a little embarrassed when she heard it, but she didn't expect that these two people were connoisseurs, and she didn't know what to do when the pestle was there.

The conversation between several people happened to be heard by a girl next to her, and she immediately walked over and looked at the two, "Hello two, my name is Ming Qiulan, I just ordered an enamel here, I want to give it to him tomorrow for grandpa's birthday, but I don't know much about this business, can you let the two of you help palm your eyes?" ”

Ming Qiulan looked at the two of them with some expectation, she originally wanted to find an accompanying appraiser, but when she saw Master Long, she suddenly had an idea.

This dragon master is a master in the antique world, she has seen the other party as a treasure connoisseur at the cultural relics fair before, if she can ask the other party to help, it is absolutely foolproof.

"Little girl, have you seen me?"

Long Ye is a human spirit, and he guessed seven points when he saw the little girl's blinking eyes, he is too famous in the antique world, and there are many people who have seen him.

But he shook his head and refused, "I know the manager of this store, but it's not easy to dismantle it, so forget it!" ”

"Ahh The little girl looked disappointed.

At this time, Long Ye pointed at Jiang Ge again, "But I can recommend one to you, it is this little brother Jiang, his treasure appreciation skills are not bad, and it is more than enough to see a gadget." ”

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Ge again, "How is it, Xiao Jiang?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Ge nodded, although he didn't know why Long Ye pushed him, but it was obviously not easy to refuse.

"Then trouble Mr. Jiang."

Ming Qiulan was obviously a little disappointed, the older the antique industry, the more treasured it is, which usually represents a wealth of knowledge and experience, and Jiang Ge is too young, she is a little worried, but it is not easy to refuse what Long Ye recommends, so she can only agree.
