Chapter 494 Listen to the excitement
Speaking, he pushed the ink pad box from the Kangxi and Qianlong dynasties in front of Zhou Zhi: "Longquan ink pad was originally created by Liu Wengao, a scholar from Changzhou. He was very familiar with medicinal materials. Xiang spent two years improving the production of ink pads, and finally invented the invention that 'doesn't solidify in winter and doesn't seep oil in summer', which is fresh and fresh. It is bright and shining. It was picked up from the water for three days and has no trace of halo. It was finally listed as a royal tribute."
"Look, this box of Longquan ink pad has arrived. It has been hundreds of years, and the color is still so bright. You only need to add a little bit of white oil to use it. ”
"The Eight Treasures Ink Pad is even more exaggerated. There are records: 'The Eight Treasure Ink Pads were created during the Qianlong Emperor's reign to maintain peace for a long time and civilize the Ming Dynasty. All the items used were deliberately refined. There are paintings and calligraphy handed down from generation to generation that have imperial inscriptions. The seal's seal is convex and bright red, so it is said that there is no such miracle unless it is the work of the eight treasures. The so-called eight treasures are one pearl powder and two Chenzhou cinnabar. Three real wax rubies, four red gold powders, five stalactites, six coral shavings, seven chariot powders, and eight crystal powders are all beyond the reach of human beings.'"
"True or false. "Zhou Zhi took the two boxes of ink pads in his hands and looked at them: "You mean the ink pads here may be more expensive than these two boxes of ink pads?"
"What you say is a good comparison." The fourth cousin said happily: "The idiom is called buy a casket and return a pearl!"
"There was a saying at that time for these two boxes of ink pads, 'one tael of ink pads and one tael of gold'. It has always been more valuable than the box in which they were placed.”
“Now we admire the original collector who collected this box of paintings and calligraphy very much,” said the fourth aunt. Although all the ancient paintings and calligraphy in the collection are severely damaged and broken, they are all very precious. "
"And apart from the calligraphy and paintings, we only thought that he had collected many precious ancient papers for restoration. It wasn't until this inventory that I discovered that in addition to paper, there were also many famous inks and ink pads from past dynasties," the fourth cousin said.
“There is no doubt that these things are carefully prepared in order to achieve the highest state of ‘repairing the ancient is the ancient’ when restoring calligraphy and painting.”
"He is an absolute master." The fourth aunt said: "It's a pity that during this cleanup, no information about this collector was found."
"If I hadn't waited for my trip to the capital of Shu this time, Then I will visit Mr. Liu Sanye of Dayi and ask him about the origin of this batch of calligraphy and paintings.”
“It’s better not to give up...” Fourth cousin thought for a while: “This batch of calligraphy and paintings is too precious. Yes, in case he goes back on his word What should I do?”
“That’s not the case,” Zhou Zhi said: “It’s written in black and white as the guarantor, and he can’t regret it. And based on the way he asked us to sell blindly. It seems that he is determined to make a complete end with these things."
"But you are right, Fourth Cousin, one thing more is worse than one thing less."
"Yes, your cousin and I both think so." The fourth aunt said: "Collecting means collecting and hiding. If you don't have the eyesight, you can't collect, and if you don't have the strength, you can't hide."
"Then we will Just follow the old rules and make a fortune silently." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Just now. The Fourth Cousin said that there are still some treasures from the past dynasties, but these are the incomplete ink?”
“Haha, I’ll tell you about it another day, so I won’t bite off more than I can chew.” He smiled and said: "Remember to send back the previous calligraphy and paintings for us to rework, and give the seal to Fill it in. When are you leaving?”
“Oh, I have to go, I have to go to my classmate’s house first.” At this point, Zhou Zhi remembered that he was going to say hello and explain. Jiang Shuyi didn't expect to see a lot of good things as soon as he came. As soon as we started chatting, there was no end: "It should be just these two days. It's not that we are in a hurry, but we estimate that Shu University will rush us if they get the news." Take a walk around Panjiayuan and broaden your horizons.”
"That's necessary. Bring enough checks. By then, we will have collected all the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty." Zhou Zhi said with a smile. "Huh? Do you think the five famous kilns are just cabbage?"
"It doesn't have to be to pick up leaks. Let's go to Rongbaozhai or the National Cultural Relics Store and I'll pay for them. !”
Now every province and municipality across the country has a unit called “Cultural Relics” "Head Office" is generally affiliated with the Cultural Relics Bureau. Its founding purpose is to be oriented to the public, acquire and protect important cultural relics through market channels, and hand them over to museums for collection. Dissolution will put cultural relics that are generally not needed for national collection on the market to satisfy domestic cultural relics enthusiasts. And create higher foreign exchange earnings for the country.
The full name of the National Cultural Relics Store located in the capital should be the China Cultural Relics Store of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. This store alone has more than 140,000 cultural relics.
However, the value of today's cultural relics has not been truly reflected. The so-called "cultural relics that do not need to be collected by the state" are not of a generally high level.
Despite this, people nowadays are not very interested in these. First there was a wave of speculation in stocks, and just now there was a wave of speculation in stamps, as well as the paintings of a few modern painters, and now The hot spot has shifted to real estate on Hainan Island.
Thus, although the quality of cultural relics is quite high, the value is still low. For example, there was a joke like porcelain. Only the high-quality official kilns before Qianlong were recognized, and the official kiln wares after Daoguang were even reduced to The extent of the buy one get one free gift.
As for folk kiln porcelain, those after the Song Dynasty are not even qualified to enter cultural relics stores. Even if they are from the Song Dynasty, they are not ordinary celadon and white porcelain from the five major folk kilns. Zhou Zhi once bought dozens of them to Manager Fei It was full of spectacle, and after enthusiastic transactions and fierce competition at the public auction, it was finally sold for 4,000 yuan.
It costs less than two hundred yuan a piece.
However, Zhou Zhi's tone was too loud. After all, the items in Rongbaozhai and the National Cultural Relics Store were of high value, which made the fourth cousin sneer angrily: "Then you have to bring enough money!"
Looking back at the benefits of karaoke halls far exceeding expectations, it also reflects from another perspective the lack of spiritual and cultural life of the people today.
That place can now be described as making a fortune every day.
After more than half a year, the karaoke hall has made nearly 300,000 yuan in revenue, of which Zhou Zhi accounts for 60%. Adding in revenue from videos and video games, Zhou Zhi can earn 25,000 yuan in almost a month.
The domestic and overseas income of "Sichuan Fun Talk" has been steadily increasing. Including the early royalties, the total now totals RMB 600,000 and HKD 1.5 million.
Therefore, Zhou Zhi now has one million yuan and one and a half million Hong Kong dollars as his bottom line. It is no wonder that he accidentally acted arrogantly in front of his fourth cousin.
However, all the money was placed in Shudu's account. Liu Yushu would reconcile with him on the phone every month. However, Jiachuan's use of checks without clearing was a bit too shocking, and Zhou Zhi did not dare to use it indiscriminately.
I can only listen to a number and have fun.
