Chapter 44 Ten-million-level Guqin
Genuine Jun kilns are hard to come by, with prices in the tens of millions at foreign auctions.
The imitations of later generations are not interesting to these big guys, but this one is different.
No one is sure whether this kind of quality is considered imitation.
"This is for me to see. Why are you just joining in the fun!" Mr. Xu quit.
"Mr. Xu, you already have two or three Jun kiln flowerpots at home." Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "Why are you still trying to snatch them from us?"
"Ms. Shen, how do you want to get this thing? Or are you looking for something that can be replaced?" someone asked.
It is only now that everyone here truly agrees with Shen You and is Boss Shen who can sit here and speak.
It's not just relying on Mr. Xu and Mr. Li's reputation to look like a familiar pendant.
"What price do you think you can expect to see?" Shen You looked at several big collectors.
It's polite for others to ask her first. She can't go past these big guys and call out the price directly.
Mr. Zhang spoke up, "A good-quality Jun kiln from the Ming Dynasty has been sold at Jiashi for more than 4,000 yuan. The quality of Miss Shen's piece is no worse than that one, but it is a little smaller. You can see it for 2,000 yuan."

Sometimes in the antique circle, instead of talking about ten thousand words, two thousand means twenty million.
Jun kilns fired by well-known modern masters can be sold for millions each, but ancient ones cannot be cheap.
The price of this piece is 20 million, which is good for both buyers and sellers.
Mr. Xu tilted his head and said to Shen You quite proudly, "He said that I took the photo. Next time you have time, would you like Jiayan to take you to his home to have a look?"
"Okay."
Shen You didn't see the unusual smile on Xu Jiayan's face, but on this occasion, the old man spoke, so she would not be disappointed.
"I heard that Mr. Zhou has collected several ancient guqins?" Shen You turned to the collector who first asked her if she was willing to sell them.
This was the news Xu Jiayan told her on the way here, saying it was much better than the one at the auction.
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhou immediately understood that there was something about Jun Kiln porcelain!
"When I came this time, I kept a piano in the safe of the auction company. It was in the Ming Dynasty style. If Miss Shen is interested, I will have someone bring it over now."
Mr. Zhou made a call, and they were very efficient and delivered the things quickly.
As soon as the piano case was opened, it was completely black, with the name of the instrument "Mingyue Songjian" engraved on the back, as well as the name of the person who cut the piano and the year of making it. This is where the value of antique instruments is.
"If Miss Shen likes it, why don't we calculate it as one thousand two hundred, let's swap, and I'll make up another eight hundred."
Shen You plucked the strings and tried the sound. It was really good. Both the wood and the workmanship were not on the same level as those at yesterday's auction.
"So it's settled?"
"Okay!" Mr. Zhou was a cheerful person, and he was afraid that Shen You would regret it, so he paid the money before serving the food.
In other words, Shen You made more than 10 million in the past two days, plus an antique musical instrument.
It was also from this time that her name officially emerged in the circle of collectors.
Of course, no one expected that the next time she appeared at the auction, she would be sitting in a VIP room.
During the dinner, Shen You and Mr. Zhang exchanged contact information to confirm the time when the item that needed repair would be delivered to the store.
After the dinner was over and everyone said goodbye, Xu Jiayan helped Shen You take the piano case and sent her out of the hotel.
"Is it okay for you to go back alone at night?"
"It's okay." Shen You took the things, "You go in."
Those big guys were still staying in the hotel for two days for vacation, and of course Xu Jiayan accompanied Mr. Xu.
"Send me a message when you arrive."
"No problem."
After leaving in the lobby, she met Jiang He. She greeted Shen You in a friendly manner and her eyes fell on the black piano case. She is responsible for the docking work of the auction company, and naturally knows that several big players in the industry have organized a bureau in the hotel, and the things they see are better than those at the auction.
It must be at least tens of millions of antiques.
One look at the box showed that it was the piano kept by their company.
It actually got into Shen You's hands. What conditions did she give to the original owner, Mr. Zhou, to let go?
You must know that collectors like this who have private museums are not short of money at all.
I also thought about buying it at the time, but Mr. Zhou didn't agree.
"What treasure did you exchange for?" Jiang He asked curiously.
"A piece of porcelain."
Shen You didn't say what it was specifically, and Jiang He was very measured and didn't ask further.
But I also know that if it is an ordinary object, Mr. Zhou will definitely look down on it.
"Miss Shen is so willing to learn traditional musical instruments?"
Shen You shook her head, "It doesn't even count as a job. It can't be said that you have gone to school."
Jiang He was stunned for a moment. He was not a piano student, but he was willing to trade porcelain with others.
The market for porcelain is much larger than that for ancient musical instruments.
It seems that Miss Shen has better porcelain in her hands.
Thinking of this, she smiled again and whispered, "If Miss Shen comes up with something good in the future, you can let our company do it for you."
Shen You nodded politely.
Jiang He's guess was correct. She still had two pieces of Jun kiln in her hand, as well as porcelain in better condition.
This piano is really rare. In Daqi, she couldn't find a piano with current historical value, so she was willing to make this deal.
Shen You got in the car, looked at the still quiet profile picture on her phone, and put the phone down casually.
I don’t know what to say, so I just don’t say anything.
After returning home and putting things away, Shen You took out two packs of snacks in a good mood, lay on the bed and turned on the projector to watch a movie.
The happy nightlife has just begun.
At the same time, in the hotel, Gu Yuegang heard that Shen You had obtained a guqin valued at tens of millions, and couldn't help but throw the limited edition bag on the sofa.
Thinking that she was still happy yesterday, with two million, Shen You didn't dare to follow, but now she did it in the blink of an eye
She doesn't look like someone with that kind of financial power!
The only big-name shoes on her body are the cheapest basic ones. It can be seen that the clothes are specially prepared for the auction, and she doesn't usually wear them like this.
The more Gu Yue thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, until Gu Shaoyu, who was sent to inquire, came back.
"I just said it, it can't be from Grandpa Xu or Brother Jiayan. Shen You brought out a piece of precious porcelain."
Gu Shaoyu sighed helplessly, "Next time something like this happens, I won't ask."
His sister has been very strong since she was a child.
Like many people in the circle, I would not say it directly to my face, but in my heart I don't think highly of those whose background is inferior to my own.
But when you meet someone with a higher status than yourself, it's different.
"You defend her so much and you say you don't like her?" Gu Yue thought for a moment.
If Gu Shaoyu was with her, as long as she knew how to behave, she wouldn't be unable to enter their house.
Gu Shaoyu didn't answer, turned around and left the room.
He had a good impression and wanted others to like him. Gu Yue really thought that he was just a business that took orders to restore antiques and earn 200,000 yuan.
He finally understood that it was Shen You's own interest, and it was also a channel to expand his connections and influence.
