Chapter 383 Fine Hailao Porcelain

"I don't like being too fat, so let's forget it."

Zhang Yang shook his head, he felt that if he continued to talk, Chen Yanguang was about to blow himself up.

"Ah, that's too hasty, isn't it?"

Chen Yanguang looked at Zhang Yang and felt that it was not very rational for him to give up this opportunity to make a fortune simply because of his personal preferences.

Money, make money, what can't you endure?

"Why don't you think about it again, Brother Yang?"

"Well, I'll be honest, that place in Sri Lanka is not suitable for salvage, because they are small in size, and the local government is very strict."

"However, the main problem is that the sea fishing porcelain is all in volume, not that you will definitely sell it at the highest price, and the requirements for sales channels are relatively high."

"If you have someone Boss Li's channel, what else do you sell Hailao porcelain, and those high-quality imitations that directly sell Tao Chang are not more profitable than selling Hailao porcelain?"

Zhang Yang had long seen that Chen Yanguang had ideas about Boss Li's business.

He even suspected that Chen Yanguang took the initiative to mention it to Boss Li when he went to sea to fish for things this time.

Otherwise, if you come to participate in a porcelain exhibition, how can the other party take them to the sea to open their eyes?

From the perspective of a friend, Zhang Yang has to persuade him.

It's too risky to do this kind of work.

And if it's okay in the future, I'll find Zhang Yang to identify what he fished out, and he can't stand it.

Zhang Yang remembers very well that the Song Dynasty shipwreck Nanhai No. 1 excavated more than 60,000 cultural relics.

In case Chen Yanguang was lucky and encountered a similar shipwreck, Zhang Yang was really afraid that he would die in front of the appraisal table.

After listening to this, Chen Yanguang pondered for a while and nodded:

"Don't say it, there's some truth to that."

He told Zhang Yang that in the past few months, after the overseas business of Hedong Group was fully rolled out, the net profit was about 6 million per month.

In the last month, it even reached 11 million.

Although it is not as profitable as selling fakes and harvesting leeks across the country, it can be expected that when overseas channels are fully rolled out and the group's reputation is out, the money earned will definitely rise several times.

When the time comes, it will really be profitable to lie down.

"Forget it, I'd better go out and see what they fished out."

"Yes, call me again if you have something good."

Zhang Yang nodded and took out his phone.

After only reading a chapter, Chen Yanguang is back.

This time, the female lifeguard who followed behind also helped him get an antique.

Chen Yanguang held a large sauce-colored jar in his hand, and the lifeguard held a metal container in his hand.

The two put things in front of Zhang Yang, and Chen Yanguang said:

"Look first, there are a few more outside."

"Those bowls, plates, etc., I won't move in, there's nothing to look at, let's just order something special."

"Don't, don't worry."

Zhang Yang only glanced at the altar, and then called out to Chen Yanguang, who wanted to turn around and leave.

"You, the phoenix-patterned urn of the Zhangzhou kiln in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, is worthless, and it looks like a few hundred yuan. This kind of thing is far inferior to the blue and white porcelain in full condition. ”

"Why don't you take another look?"

"It's a phoenix carved on it, isn't there anything to say?" Chen Yanguang asked.

"There is no way to say it, Zhangzhou kiln received orders from overseas Chinese at that time, and everything was burned, phoenix patterns, dragon patterns, etc., regardless of whether it exceeded the rules or not, as long as the money was given, it could be burned."

"When the Ming Dynasty arrived in Wanli, it basically didn't care about the place, which is why so many merchant ships went to Southeast Asia and Arab countries."

Zhang Yang's helpless stall hands, from the blue and white porcelain plate suspected to be paid by the Jiajing official kiln in front of him, to this sauce-glazed phoenix pattern urn, are very confusing.

Those who don't know think it's an official ship.

But in fact, there is a high probability that it is a private transaction.

This is a manifestation of the social reality of the late Ming Dynasty, when the sea ban was opened, as long as you are willing to pay taxes, nothing can be sold.

"What about this?" Chen Yanguang picked up the metal tool next to him again.

"It's a gong." Zhang Yang said immediately.

"The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty were basically equipped with gongs, and you can think of it as a manual siren, and once you find an emergency, you will ring the gong to call the police."

"This thing, a hundred? There may be more. ”

"How much? Is it only a hundred......" Chen Yanguang was speechless.

He thought about the things he had just fished up on the deck, and after a while, he came back to his senses and asked Zhang Yang, "Is that blue and white teacup worth anything?" ”

"The lid is gone, but there are words in the teacup, and when I looked at it, it seemed to be a [Lin] character, which was pressed under the bottom of the fishing net, and it was not so easy to take out."

"Oh, I know what you're talking about."

"That's what I just mentioned, the porcelain custom-made by overseas Chinese in the kiln mouth of the mainland, and the words written on it are basically their surnames."

"Daily necessities, it's not worth much, two hundred and five."

"Oh no, it's worthless." Chen Yanguang collapsed directly on the chair like a deflated ball, "What's the matter, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, why don't there be any treasures." ”

"Don't worry, wait until they are all fished up, and then we will take a look when we go ashore." Zhang Yang stretched out his mobile phone and invited, "Do you want to play chess?" ”

"Oh? Yes, you can, watch me kill you without leaving a piece of armor. ”

……

Zhang Yang and Chen Yanguang met the stinky chess basket, and the eldest brother didn't talk about the second brother.

The battle was thirty rounds, and the fight was fifteen to fifteen.

Just when the two were preparing to decide the final game, Boss Li came in with someone.

He didn't bother Zhang Yang and the two, but asked people to move out the things on the table that Chen Yanguang brought in for identification.

"Calling it a day? Want to take inventory? ”

"Confiscation of labor, and you don't have to count things."

"What's the hurry, come, Boss Li, watch the two of us kill each other, and evaluate whose chess strength is stronger." Chen Yanguang invited.

"Hahaha, no, I'll have to determine the location of the sinking thing later."

"Sink something?" Zhang Yang was a little curious, "What do you want to sink?" ”

"Of course it's the stuff that was fished up."

Boss Li pointed in the direction outside the cabin and said, "Wait a while, everything will sink into the open sea."

Later, when the Indian cargo ship he rented passed by, he scooped up the things through GPS positioning and took them to Indonesia for packaging and storage.

"Why don't you just take it back to shore?"

Chen Yanguang asked a somewhat idiotic question.

Zhang Yang feels that he knows the answer:

These things are not fished on the high seas, and if you sail back now, the things will be counted as Indonesian.

This method of sinking things directly into the open sea, is a bit level, but not much.

Boss Li's answer was slightly different from Zhang Yang's guess.

He said that if he brought it back, there were already police officers waiting on the dock to collect his money.

The money is not much, but he can't make such an opening.

Otherwise, every time you go to sea and return to Hong Kong in the future, you will be welcomed by local police.

After the fleet reaches the open sea, divers go down to check the bottom of the sea.

After making sure that the things would not be broken and would not be washed away by the currents, Boss Li ordered people to slowly sink more than a dozen bags of porcelain in fishing nets to the bottom of the sea.

The whole process was carried out in an orderly manner and very professionally.

When the ship docks again in Banda Aceh, the trip will be over.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen, how do you feel?"

"Thank you Boss Li, the unforgettable experience of a lifetime, is that I am a little dizzy now, and I am afraid that there will be no me tonight." Zhang Yang touched his forehead and said.

"Hahaha, it's okay, I'll let them keep my sister, and wait for Mr. Zhang to regain your strength." Boss Li smiled, and then asked Chen Yanguang, "What about you, Mr. Chen?" Continued tonight? ”

"Continue? What continues? Chen Yanguang shook his head suspiciously, "I want to play chess with Mr. Zhang at night." ”

……

Two days later, the Yaqi Hailao Porcelain Exhibition officially opened in Banda Aceh, the capital of Indonesia's Aceh district.

The format of this exhibition is a bit like a preview of an auction, the only difference is that there will be no auction in the future, and you will buy whatever you like.

Except for the porcelain in the unique window, most of the other porcelains on display have the same style, and only five pieces of each type are sold at most due to the problems of market liquidity and value preservation.

While supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis.

In order to avoid "eating leftovers", Zhang Yang and Chen Yanguang adjusted their schedules early and successfully became the first batch of buyers to enter the exhibition on the day of the exhibition.

But even if they got up at seven o'clock, there were still dozens of people in the same batch of people who entered the museum.

Everyone came prepared.

Many of them are known to Chen Yanguang, and in his words, every time there is a porcelain exhibition in Southeast Asia, these faces will always be seen.

It feels like they're here to eat and drink.

Although Chen Yanguang is as diligent as they go, there is an essential difference between him and these people, that is, he is "stupid and has a lot of money".

As long as you like it, you can buy it.

But with Zhang Yang, the situation is different.

Chen Yanguang gave Zhang Yang the answer before entering the door: "I prepared 20 million this time, and you can buy whatever you say." ”

"How about buying me two hours of companionship? Ten million an hour? Zhang Yang proposed.

"Thanks, I don't like men."

"Then I'm relieved."

"Then can you not get so close to me?" Zhang Yang stretched out his finger and pushed Chen Yanguang out, this is not ancient times, and it is too strange for two men to swim together.

"Wasn't I afraid you'd be gone again later?"

Chen Yanguang said that before, he once went to the antique market with Zhang Yang, and the people of Zhang Yang were gone.

Later, I found out that Zhang Yang went back to pick up the leak.

Let Chen Yanguang call people's hearts sinister.

"It's okay, it's the same as a supermarket, you can broadcast to find your father."

"." Chen Yanguang opened up half a step away from Zhang Yang, but immediately came up again, "Anyway, what are we going to see first?" ”

"Let's look at the first one-of-a-kind piece." Zhang Yang said with the exhibition map.

The map marks the location of the unique window of this exhibition, and you can first get started and see the goods, and then decide whether to buy or not.

Although the unique product in this exhibition is not necessarily the only one in the world, it must be a boutique first.

It can't be the kind of daily necessities that are fired in batches in private kilns.

Otherwise, I'm too sorry for the audience.

At the scene, there are not a few people who have the same idea as Zhang Yang.

Most of the buyers gathered around the one-of-a-kind window, waiting in line to get their hands on it and then place their bids.

However, this one-of-a-kind porcelain is not the one with the highest price.

Instead, within half an hour of the appearance of the porcelain, the person who blindly guesses the price closest to the preset selling price is eligible to buy.

If there are several prices that are also close, for example, the reference price is 150,000, and the two closest bids are 140,000 and 160,000, then the lower price wins, that is, 140,000 buys.

Very interesting gameplay.

Zhang Yang has participated in so many auctions and exhibitions, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of bidding.

may really be the same as Boss Li said, in his eyes, money is just a number, and he is now completely enjoying the atmosphere of buying and selling antiques.

At eight o'clock, the unique window opened.

The first piece of porcelain that was taken out made Zhang Yang's eyes shine.

A very typical black-glazed incense burner from a kiln built in the Song Dynasty.

This porcelain incense burner is inspired by the traditional bronze mantle.

Although there is no complicated decoration of bronzes, the glaze of the kiln porcelain itself is very good.

What's even more rare is that this porcelain incense burner is very well preserved, and it should have been buried deep in the sand of the seabed until it went out into the sea.

I'm afraid it took a lot of effort to get it out.

"Is the thing real?" Chen Yanguang asked Zhang Yang in a low voice.

He knows Zhang Yang's ability, he doesn't need to line up to play with it in his hand, and he will know the truth by staring at it from a distance for a while.

"Really."

"And how much do I bid?"

"I don't know."

“???” Chen Yanguang suddenly became a little anxious, "Don't do it, brother, if you make the same bid, the one who bids first will be eligible to buy first." ”

"Give me a reference price, I'll fill it in."

"I don't know." Zhang Yang shook his head, "My usual estimates are from auction houses grabbed from the Internet. ”

"Who knows what the price of your goods from the source is."

Zhang Yang is telling the truth, don't look at this as a serious Hailao porcelain exhibition, and even made a record with the Indonesian government department.

But to put it bluntly, this is the "alternative tomb robbers" in the sea to sell stolen goods.

On the way here, he saw a Qing Dynasty Kangxi imitation Xuande blue and white cloud and phoenix pattern plate, the price is only 800 if converted into RMB.

800 buy genuine Kangxi blue and white porcelain?

Although it is a folk kiln, there is a Xuande paragraph.

If this is placed in China, the antique dealer will directly drive the car and wait at the door, load the car one by one, and sell it for four or five thousand.

The price at the source, there is no middleman to make the difference, it is so real.

How to price the goods at the source, it is estimated that only Boss Li himself will know.

Valuation? Forget it.

Zhang Yang proposed: "I suggest that you go directly, even if you are lucky." ”

"Meng, that's stupid." Chen Yanguang pursed his lips disdainfully, patted a native Indonesian in front of him on the shoulder, and asked him in authentic Linhai English how much he felt things were worth.

The other party replied: Rp. 100 million.

In Zhang Yang's eyes, there is no difference between asking passers-by like this and Meng.

However, he immediately helped Chen Yanguang convert it, and 100 million rupiah, which is only 46,000 yuan.

"Reliable, isn't it?" Chen Yanguang asked.

"If the market price is used, I can give 150,000." Zhang Yang replied after reading the information.

"Then I'll fill in 48,000 and pick up a small leak." Chen Yanguang was very decisive and was the first to fill in the offer.

Half an hour later, Chen Yanguang and Zhang Yang came back after a round trip.

The black-glazed incense burner from the kiln was sold for 24,000 yuan.

"Damn, so much worse? It's also too hard to guess. ”

"Why don't we shoot something else?"

"Don't worry." raised his mouth and motioned for Chen Yanguang to look at the screen.

It's new again, this time it's a blue and white elephant head in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
