Chapter 153 The procedures must be ensured to be smooth
“Congratulations to buyer No. 16!”
The auctioneer on the stage smiled warmly and generously. The foreign businessman who missed the mural because of hesitation for a second clenched his fists and sighed in annoyance.
"How to store this thing and stick it to the wall?"
Gu Shaoyu has seen a lot of collections of furniture, porcelain and the like. This is the first time he has seen this kind of mural. It looks like this. Wouldn't he be afraid to put it at home?
I heard that the characters on this kind of mural are painted according to the donors.
Shen You answered this question, "The original owners of the ancient things are gone. If you collect antiques, you won't be afraid of this. And I don't plan to collect them myself. I can't repair this, and it's not easy to preserve."
After the auction ended, collectors were chatting with each other in the public rest area outside.
When he saw Shen You coming out, he pulled her along and said a few words.
"One bidding of 20,000 dollars, Ms. Shen directly jumped the price by 100,000 dollars. She is courageous."
"It's just that the mural was so badly damaged. Are you paying for it because of your favorite things?"
Shen You smiled and shook his head,
"Although the painting is incomplete, judging from the identifiable parts, the figure on it is wearing a ceremonial staff and a corner of the clothing pattern. It should be a big figure in the history books of the Tang Dynasty. It is quite valuable for research."< br>
She said this because she wanted to take the mural back home and give it to the museum.
Several collectors are in awe. This painting cannot fetch a good price on the market in its current state, but in some ways, it is of great significance.
People who dump cultural relics will not look at the tattered bamboo slips and broken porcelain plates, but some people will spend several years repairing them.
"I originally thought that Miss Shen would compete with me for jade bowls from the Song Dynasty, but in the end I only photographed the Jiqing bowls from the Qing Dynasty." The collector who spoke was slightly confused.
Porcelain is different from murals.
Everyone knows that she is an antique dealer. Unless the value of Ji Qing Glaze suddenly rises in the future, there is little room for the price to increase.
The jade bowls of the Song Dynasty are different and have high collection value now.
Could it be that she made a mistake?
"I haven't collected Ji Qing glazed porcelain yet, but this one looks pretty good." Shen You said politely.
We cannot directly say that it was from the Yongzheng period. More than two million yuan could be photographed, but it was missed.
Doesn't this mean that others have no vision and want to offend others?
The collector understood and said a few polite words to Shen You. Fortunately, Shen You didn't compete with him for the Song Dynasty jade bowl, otherwise he would have to spend a lot of money.
When he walked out, Mr. Feng brought Qin Ping over and asked in a low voice, "Isn't the Jiqing glaze from the Yongzheng period?"
"I'm not sure either. I'll have to find someone to check after I get back." That's what Shen You said.
The auction is over and the return trip from the cruise has come.
When passing through the Faroe Islands, the towering and straight sea pillars standing in the deep blue water make you feel like you are in a world in a game.
The climate of this place can't grow trees, only grass. It's a paradise, open and facing the sea.
The cruise ship does not stay here for a long time. After completing the formalities, it can only stay on the island for one night or two days.
It’s windy high up on the island during this season, so you have to hike to most of the scenic spots. If you think you’ve already come here, you’ll definitely have to go up there and take some photos.
Then Shen You and Gu Shaoyu, who joined the battle with Nuan Baobao, wore hats on their down jackets. It started to rain lightly halfway, making them doubt their life.
Originally, Shen You was wearing a wind mask, but within two minutes, the mask was blown askew.
While standing on the cliff, their legs were shaking. There are no guardrails in foreign scenic spots. If you fall down, the whole village will eat.
Gu Shaoyu held Shen You's arm like a girl and shouted in the wind, "Oh my god! This is the perspective of How to Train Your Dragon!"
After shouting, his camera almost dropped.
The scenery is beautiful, but the weather is a bit life-threatening.
Wen Zhi, who was also wearing outdoor gear, glanced at Gu Shaoyu who pulled Shen You's sleeve and handed over the hiking pole in disgust.
In the end, they only walked to this place. It was too difficult. Shen You waved her hand to indicate that she had to go back to the boat and couldn't walk anymore.
"You have lived here for a year?" Shen You looked at Wen Zhi.
"Well, it's quite quiet here, and there are few people. Sometimes if I don't come back for ten days and a half, no one will notice."
And at that time, he also wanted to see the world.
"If you want to stay for a long time, it is really inconvenient here. It is difficult to transport supplies. Small towns in Switzerland and Norway are more suitable."
After the trip, the cruise ship returns to the port where the sun never sets.
Shen You had paid the money, completed the auction procedures, and got the items. Only in her residence could she truly appreciate the two items she had taken.
It was difficult to transport the murals, and it cost a lot of money to get them back intact.
After packing up, she changed into comfortable home clothes, sat on the sofa and sent the photo of the mural to Professor Li.
"Teacher, let me show you something good!"
There is a 7-hour time difference, and it is dinner time back home. Professor Li replied immediately after seeing it, "Did you buy it?! This is a Tang Dynasty mural!"
"Yes, I am going to give it to the museum. I have something else. Can you arrange the procedures?"
Professor Li: "I'm going to call the curator right now. If anyone doesn't handle the customs procedures for you, we seniors will be in trouble!"
She has brought Tang Dynasty murals home, so she must ensure smooth passage through customs!
Professor Li quickly finished communicating with the curator and replied to Shen You, no problem, the customs library will handle the matter.
The Ji celadon bowl is okay, but the customs procedures for the murals and ghost balls are more troublesome. It would be much easier to hand them over directly to the collection hall.
The next thing to do is to clear the way for the ghost ball, and the operator training will deal with it.
In recent times, a lot of things have been lost overseas, and many of them have no trace. She took them back not for illegal trading, but for donation, so of course there was no problem.
Gu Shaoyu didn't know about Guigongqiu yet, and he happened to be going to a jewelry exhibition. Shen You only said that they had to pick up a collection here, and the two parties moved separately.
Shen You and Wen Zhi went to a market that specializes in old antiques.
After walking around for two hours, I already met two fellow villagers. One had already paid and had nothing to do, and the other Shen You secretly reminded him.
They thought that the white sellers were in poor financial circumstances, so they sold off their collection of Oriental antiques.
In fact, it was something that was once exported for domestic and foreign trade. The workmanship was perfunctory and it was not expensive to buy. Now it is sold as an antique to people who want to pick up leaks, and two plates cost more than 10,000 yuan.
At this price, go to a domestic porcelain town and buy one that is in good condition, new, and fragrant.
"Really?" Qingqing Liuzi blinked and pulled Shen You aside.
You can't do this in the antiques industry. Shen You opened her mouth when she saw that the other person was from the same hometown.
"Look at the blue and white porcelain. In the early Ming Dynasty, Su Ma Li Qing was used. This is obviously not the case. There are also painters."
Liuzi, who was almost fooled, nodded, "Miss, you understand this, why don't you help me see the real thing?"
"I can't see it. It's genuine and I can pick it up, so I bought it myself." Shen You told the truth.
If this is not what she is here to do, how could she help others choose?
