Chapter 385: Boycott Funeral Goods

Seeing that the father and daughter in front of him seemed to be really moved by Zhang Yang's words and planned to buy a barn, Boss Li's face smiled.

It's just that he got a little carried away as soon as he was proud, and said in a nutshell:

"It's not me boasting, Mr. Abdullah and Ms. Bashail, this pair of barn jars, even if they are placed in the ancient Song Dynasty in China, they must be funeral vessels that can only be used by princes and generals, and ordinary people can't afford them at all."

"It's a perfect match for who you are."

"Funeral vessels?" Bashail repeated in confusion.

She blinked at Zhang Yang with big eyes: "Mr. Zhang, didn't you say that they are a pair of gifts?" ”

"This ......"

"Let's start with the customs of Chinese funerals." Zhang Yang pretended to touch his chin and said.

However, he suddenly found that the people around him, including Chen Yanguang, were looking at him curiously.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yang scratched his head embarrassedly.

"We are all waiting for you to talk about the funeral customs of China." Basha Il replied.

Several local Indonesian buyers who came over also echoed in rusty Chinese: "Yes, yes, brother, tell us about it." ”

"Not well, this is the fair."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhang, feel free." Mr. Li made a gesture of please.

"Then I'm going to be ugly?"

"Ahem." Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "The funeral customs of China can be traced back to the Stone Age, and people at that time had the habit of using jade for burial. ”

"The reason for this is that ancient people did not have a comprehensive understanding of the world, and could only use realistic ideas to understand the surrounding environment.

"For example, the god realm, the ghost realm, and at the same time call the world you live in the human world."

"Death, in the eyes of the ancients, is the end of physical life in the human world, but it is the beginning of the divine realm or the ghost realm and spiritual life. The purpose of the funeral goods is to continue to be used or enjoyed in another world......"

After Zhang Yang explained in simple terms, he then spread his hands and asked:

"Do you have any questions?"

When he was in Yanjing, he listened to those old professors of the National Museum.

It can be seen as an official interpretation of the funerary goods.

Like the barn, although it is also called the "soul bottle", its biggest function is to store food, so that the deceased will not suffer from starvation in another world.

It may be that all the burial goods, only the burial jade, are not for bringing to another world, but simply to ensure that the body does not decay.

It is for this reason that the golden jade clothes are made.

"I have a question."

"Is the ghost world really a fantasy?" After listening to this, Boss Li retorted seriously, "I don't think this kind of thing should be said so absolutely, right?" There are many people in Southeast Asia who can communicate with spirits. ”

Except for Chen Yanguang and two Saudis who could not understand complex Chinese, everyone else nodded and agreed with Boss Li's statement.

In terms of feudal superstition, Southeast Asia is not inferior to Africa and Oceania at all.

Zhang Yang wanted to say that it was because it was legal to fly leaves in Southeast Asia, and some people flew out of hallucinations and felt that they could communicate with the other world.

But looking at Boss Li's serious appearance, he didn't bother to correct it.

"So, this pair of barns is also so that people can use the contents when they are in another world, right?"

Bashail was persuaded by the ostentatious logic, and was even able to justify his explanation: "They are just containers, and in theory, anything can be put in them." ”

"Clever." Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Bone release...... Woooooooooooo Chen Yanguang wanted to come out and make trouble again, but Zhang Yang covered his mouth in time.

"If that's the case, then I can't ask for this thing." Basha Yir shook her head with a regretful expression.

"Why?" When Boss Li heard that the owner didn't buy it, he immediately became anxious, "If it's too expensive, the price can be negotiated." ”

"No, no, no, Mr. Li, you misunderstood, it's not a matter of price."

"My parents and I are both devout Yibelievers, and we can't have any funeral items after we convert to the truth, which are contrary to our beliefs, and I very much hope that Mr. Li will understand."

Basha Yier said very seriously, and even performed a religious salute, which scared Boss Li to hurry back.

"I understand, of course I understand, what I just meant was actually ......"

Boss Li wanted to pick himself up, but he was speechless for a while, so he could only look at Zhang Yang for help.

"What Mr. Li means is that now Chinese people will treat these funeral goods as art collections, and they may not necessarily be used for funerals." Zhang Yang explained the rescue.

"I can understand what you mean, thank you Mr. Zhang. But I still can't accept it from the bottom of my heart. Basha Il shook her head with a smile.

"Me too." The old prince added.

The big financiers said it so bluntly, Boss Li naturally didn't dare to say a word "no", and hurriedly led the father and daughter to see other blue and white porcelain.

Although those things are cheap, they can also increase in price if the father and daughter are in demand.

"Let's go, let's take a look." Chen Yanguang pushed Zhang Yang forward.

"What are you in a hurry, people don't buy your things."

Zhang Yang glanced at Chen Yanguang strangely, wasn't he still making trouble just now, and suddenly rushed to offer hospitality again at this time, which was somewhat schizophrenic.

"It seems that you really don't understand, Director Zhang. What is blue and white porcelain? It is the main product of our group. ”

When Chen Yanguang said "we", he deliberately pointed at himself and Zhang Yang.

hinted that Zhang Yang should not forget, he is the group's "director of the marketing and procurement department", although he is a false position, but he is his own person.

"Just now, a tiger of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and a barn of the Song Dynasty, I want to sell it, I can't sell it, and they are all cultural relics that are prohibited from being bought and sold in China, maybe it was dug up by a tomb robber."

"Only blue and white porcelain can make a lot of money."

"I have already thought about it, the group's short-term goal is to let the people of the Saudi royal family get a piece of Hedong Group's high-imitation blue and white porcelain." Chen Yanguang smiled solemnly, and his dream was very beautiful.

"Wait, what did you just say?" A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Zhang Yang's mind, but he didn't catch it.

"Short-term goals? Our Group's ......"

"No, the previous sentence, what happened to the tiger of the Northern and Southern Dynasties?"

"It's an artifact dug up by tomb robbers." Chen Yanguang touched Zhang Yang's forehead suspiciously, he suspected that Zhang Yang was sick.

"That's right." Zhang Yang slapped his thigh, startling Chen Yanguang.

"Yes, what, yes? Why are you so surprised? ”

"The tiger of the Northern and Southern Dynasties must be unearthed cultural relics, although it is quite perverted to accompany the burial of a night pot, but it can be completely preserved until now, it can only be an ancient tomb, and the ash pit can't be done."

"What's wrong with the funeral goods, this is in Indonesia, and it's not illegal." Chen Yanguang shrugged and replied.

"It's not illegal, but this is at the Hailao porcelain exhibition, what's the matter with selling the cultural relics of the soil?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.

"You mean, Boss Li?" Chen Yanguang understood what Zhang Yang meant, his eyes widened instantly, and he covered his mouth and whispered, "He may be the overseas leader of the tomb robbers?" ”

"I don't rule it out." Zhang Yang nodded.

"Then should we trick him into going to the country to do it." Chen Yanguang made a motion to wipe his neck.

"Well, he's been to Linhai before."

Afraid that Chen Yanguang would ask him why he didn't borrow money, Zhang Yang didn't say anything about the Qianlong Imperial Pen Buddhist Sutra, but only said that Boss Li wanted to buy the collection of the Hailin Museum.

But it can be seen from the fact that he dared to swagger to go shopping in China, he should have no criminal record, so it is likely that he has no direct connection with the tomb robbers.

"It's most likely to be downstream buyers, and it's the kind that comes in bulk."

"Then we can't handle it, right?" Hearing Zhang Yang's speculation, Chen Yanguang replied with interest, "Rich people in Southeast Asia like to collect cultural relics, and a boss like him, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 in Southeast Asia, and he can't manage it." ”

"I know." Zhang Yang smiled dumbly, "I'm just curious now, how many good things he has, what if there is a national treasure?" ”

"Forget it, let's go and see what price the blue and white porcelain has been raised."

"That's right, earn money!"

Hearing about making money, Chen Yanguang's frowning brows just now stood up again, and his excitement was overflowing.

For the next two hours, Zhang Yang felt that he was dominated by Chen Yanguang.

From time to time, he would come forward to communicate with Boss Li and ask him if he could raise the price of the porcelain on sale a little.

There is no way, the price of these blue and white sea-fishing porcelain is really a bit outrageous.

These are all genuine products, and the fakes of Hedong Group dare not sell them at this price.

Chen Yanguang was forced to secretly call his wife and asked if he wanted to send more money to come over, and he would not sell fakes in the future, so he would buy real goods and sell them at Boss Li.

Cheng Shihui said that he would ask his father, Cheng Erye, before making a decision.

At half past three in the afternoon, seeing off the Saudi father and daughter from the development hall, Zhang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really tiring to bring goods.

And looking at the transaction amount, it is only more than one million, which is really hard money.

Zhang Yang felt deceived by Boss Li.

But the main reason is that the owner is too picky.

One is an old prince and the other is a young princess, and the porcelain they are willing to buy, first of all, is required to be good-looking, and it must shine in the light.

This has already screened out a lot of porcelain.

Most of the Hailao porcelain, the glaze is a little dark, there is no kind of treasure of the heirloom treasures, which is the result of being washed by the sea, can not be avoided.

Secondly, the father and daughter also demanded that things must have a good meaning, and they should not say anything about funeral goods and the like, and it is against the doctrine to ask.

Finally, it must be rare porcelain, not a common product with a hand, otherwise how can it show the difference of the royal family?

"Alas, Mr. Zhang, can't you lie to them that every piece here is unique?" Boss Li looked at the back of the father and daughter's luxury car and sighed.

Zhang Yang smiled and shook his head: "I can still help you round the meaning of the barn, but the data in black and white of the surviving world really can't be faked." ”

"He doesn't even have to ask someone who knows how to ask, just take a photo, read the picture on the Internet, and if he has a problem, won't he be exposed immediately?"

"Yes." Boss Li nodded.

However, he looked at the elephant head in Zhang Yang's arms, worth two thousand rupils, and stopped talking.

After hearing that the blue and white porcelain elephant holding was a very common ornament in the Ming Dynasty, Basha Yier directly stuffed things to publicity.

It is said that it is a meeting gift for the first time, and if you want to return the gift, you will go to her house tomorrow as a guest.

Zhang Yang wanted to refuse, and the thing almost fell to the ground.

"Mr. Zhang, you say, will the princess want to recruit you as a colt?" Boss Li touched his chin and asked.

"The one in your arms is a token of love."

"Don't make me laugh, Boss Li." Zhang Yang smiled, "The love token of 10,000 yuan, the price of the black slave is not this now." ”

"Hahaha, just kidding." Boss Li realized that it was his clown, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Then again, going to their house tomorrow is our last chance." ”

"Do you want to discuss what to bring with you?"

"It's best to pique their curiosity and then drop by and take them to my gallery to spend a wave."

"I'll give you a thirty-percent share of the profit this time."

"It's a bit tricky." Zhang Yang said with difficulty.

He is no longer interested in these hundreds of thousands of hard-earned money, he is more concerned about what Boss Li has.

If you can bring a national treasure back from Indonesia, then this time it will not be in vain.

"I really didn't know before, it turns out that the pious Yijiao people boycott funeral goods, but the antiques in China are basically funeral goods, right?"

"Your Hailao porcelain is a special case, but the amount is too large."

"Unless, Boss Li, do you have any special antiques on hand?"

Zhang Yang asked as if he was pointed, but his expression was as calm as ever.

Facing the camera in the live broadcast room every day, it is impossible for an old actor like him to show a little flaw.

"Special antique ......" Boss Li hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhang Yang and then at Chen Yanguang, as if he was thinking about something.

In the end, I made a decision: "I'm really a bit of a baby at the bottom of the box." ”

"Sacrifice your entertainment time to go to my place at night?"

"Okay." Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, but still didn't show the slightest interest.

……

That night, Zhang Yang and Chen Yanguang were dragged to Boss Li's private gallery.

The gallery is on the first floor, and it is filled with paintings by famous European artists.

Zhang Yang saw Joan Mitchell's "Untitled", Edvard Munch's "The Scream", Picasso's "Seated Portrait of a Woman with Bun" and so on.

It's all imitations, and none of them are real.

This is also normal, a billion oil paintings cannot be placed in a glass window without a security system.

Real babes, all in the basement.

When he opened the door of the basement, Boss Li said to Zhang Yang with a painful face:

"You may not believe it, the last time the tsunami came, it washed away my 300 million antiques."

"Since then, I've made a rule that valuable antiques can't go up to the second floor."

The door opened, and the statue standing at the door startled Chen Yanguang.

It turned out to be a headless Buddha statue.

Zhang Yang glanced at it and found that it was a stone bust of Shakyamuni Buddha from the Sui Dynasty, and it was a life-size Buddha statue.

Although the head of the Buddha is nowhere to be found, it can still be regarded as a fine product among the Buddha statues of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

"Please!" Boss Li turned on the light and made a welcome gesture.

"Thank you, we're here to open our eyes today." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

He knew he had come to the right place.

What's the point of pitting a few stinky money for the Saudi royal family, this is the real treasure.
