Chapter 818 Weight Loss
Judging from the probabilities of the gilded Guanyin statue and the jade sculpture of the Spring and Autumn Phase, there are many things in Yongbaozhai that are leaky.
After the auction, Zhou Zhi was led by Huang Yinghao, and everyone went to Yongbaozhai to sit down.
In Yongbaozhai, Zhou Zhi received more than 20 calligraphy and paintings from the old Qing palace collection.
These calligraphy and paintings existed from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and they all belong to the "Shiqu" series, which is the "Shiqu Baoji" compiled by the Imperial Palace of the Qing Dynasty, and later the second and third volumes of the "Shiqu Baoji" , paintings by famous artists who left detailed records.
Of course, today's collectors don't have a deep understanding of these famous artists. Among this collection is Wang Fu's ink-on-paper "Ancient Wood and Stone Pictures" from the Ming Dynasty. It only cost 470,000 Hong Kong dollars until it was auctioned in 2002. Now it is even more expensive. You can't even sell it for a fraction of a cent.
In the end, Zhou Zhi spent 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is almost the average price of a painting of 60,000 Hong Kong dollars, to purchase these paintings.
These things were great in Zhou Zhi's eyes, but in the eyes of Huang Yinghao and Qu Jianming, they were just "add-ons" and should not be taken seriously. So in order to cover up his guilty conscience, Zhou Zhi spent another million to buy them. They bought a "heavy item" in their hearts - Xuande blue and white brocade-patterned platter.
The brocade pattern is a complex porcelain pattern that replicates traditional brocade patterns onto porcelain, with a complex weaving effect.
Later generations used machines to imitate humans, lest they look different, but now this thing is artificially imitating machines, which is very labor-intensive and time-consuming.
Xuande blue and white are generally simple, but the pattern of this piece weaves simplicity into complexity, which does not deviate from the characteristics of the times, but greatly improves the level of craftsmanship.
Using suede materials to draw patterns is bright and delicate, but it is particularly easy to smudge. If it is a pattern like Kui Long, the yield rate of drawing brocade patterns is extremely low.
Xuande blue and white can also be divided into two types. One type has a surface glaze that is firm and turns green, which is called "bright cyan glaze". The other type has a surface full of large and small bubbles, making the glaze surface somewhat "atomized". In the jargon It's called "spit glaze".
Although this blue and white piece is a practical vessel, the patterns are complex and clear, and the glaze is bright green glaze. Among the double circles and double rows of vertical writing at the bottom, the word "大" is short and long; "德" The word "four", the word "heart" are close to each other, there is no horizontal line, the word "zhi" and "yi" are just standing swords, hook and stroke are not connected, these are the standard features of Xuande blue and white.
So this is another classic period standard piece of Xuande official kiln royal tribute Sumali celadon. Although the subject matter is slightly "vulgar", the craftsmanship is the pinnacle of Su materials.
But it is a plate after all, with a large area of white space inside and on the bottom circle. The place that tests the painter's skills is a small circle of patterns on the outside. It belongs to "good steel is used on the blade". One million Hong Kong dollars is almost the "industry price".
The internal price is the price for internal transfers among peers, which is different from the auction. There is a profit for the seller, but it is not huge.
It is more of a test of players’ vision and grasp of future trends.
For Zhou Zhi, this plate has filled a gap in his collection. Together with the calligraphy and painting, the price is exactly 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to the profit of Fang Xiang’s jade carving from Huang Yinghao, and he used it to take care of him. Disciple Qu Jianming.
For Qu Jianming, Zhou Zhi purchased thirty items at Yongbaozhai at one time, totaling 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, with the highest item worth one million, which was considered a good start. Yong Bao Zhai has truly established its foothold on Hollywood Road.
It was a win-win situation for both parties, except for Li Lehai who handled the consignment.
Lin Wanqiu returned the boarding pass and passport to Zhou Zhi and Director Wang, and said with a smile: "Jack has gone to pick up people. He will come over to meet everyone soon."
"He is picking up people. ?" Zhou Zhi suddenly became alert: "Who? Isn't it the general manager of a certain metal processing company? Humph! I don't think so. I want to see her..."
"What if she gives you a car?" Cousin An An had already appeared at the door, and beside him was Jack Li, who was helping to pull the luggage. Cousin An An said in a very arrogant tone. He pointed at Zhou Zhi, with a key ring hanging on his finger and a weird remote control-like thing hanging on it. He looked at Zhou Zhi with a half-smile.
"...I don't want to see her alone. She must find a good match as soon as possible." Zhou Zhi's words were so smooth, and he smoothly wiped what was on cousin An An's finger into his own hand. , stretched out his arms and gave An Xin a warm hug: "You still love me, cousin!"
"Awesome, our family has the number one scholar!" Xu Anxin patted Zhou Zhi on the back, then showed off as always, took Zhou Zhi's arm and raised his head proudly to Jack Li: "Look, my brother!" Zhou Zhi was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to see it. There is a gap in the ground at Kai Tak Airport: "In front of the elder brother, your younger brother is really the younger brother..."
"In fact, the second brother in our family is the best read." Jack Li smiled and said: "Anxin said that the road in Shuzhong is not easy to travel now, so I asked him to get you an off-road vehicle, so I chose the Land Rover Defender Camel Cup Special Edition, which was modified with audio, air conditioning, and this car lock."
"Where's the car?" Zhou Zhi was itching unbearably: "And what's the Camel Cup?"
Jack Li suddenly felt that all his flirtatious looks were being shown to the blind man, but he felt strangely comfortable in his heart. few.
It turns out this guy doesn’t know anything about cars! I finally have a side that can crush this monster!
"The car is in Jingyang. When you return to Shu, go find my brother by yourself." Xu Anxin patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder: "You seem to have lost some weight..."
"You I have lost a lot of weight." Zhou Zhi felt that his change was far less than that of cousin An An.
And cousin An An seems to particularly like skirts and stilettos now, and she said goodbye to the jeans, workwear sneakers from Dongfang Electric Factory.
The girl who used to be a little chubby has now become a fashionable and graceful urban girl.
"It's okay. I'll gain weight after the photo shoot..." Jack Li was afraid that Zhou Zhi would go back to his parents' home to sue him, so he quickly explained.
"What photo? What photo? Wedding photo?" Zhou Zhi's ears suddenly stood up. He needed to lose weight so seriously. He didn't take wedding photos.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense.” Cousin An An took a picture of Zhou Zhi and Jack Li and said, “I’m not afraid of being rude!”
She turned to say hello to Director Wang: “Hello , I am Xu Anxin, Zhuzi’s cousin, you must Is it Director Wang? I have to trouble you to take care of my elbow all the way back, I'm so sorry..."
Zhou Zhi gave Jack Li a crazy look, meaning that my cousin is in such an accident now that even Wei and Zhao can play tricks. Did you teach it?
Jack Li also winked crazily, his expression and movements were the same as when cousin An An was showing off her thoughtfulness just now, and the underlying subtext was very clear.
Although it is not my result, but... look, my wife!
……
……
Although Zhou Zhi seriously doubted that Xu Anxin was not as busy as she said, she had to rush at the airport when she was about to leave Hong Kong Island. When they meet, it is more likely that this girl arranged it this way deliberately because she was afraid of hearing him complain, but he has no evidence.
No matter how we say goodbye, the time will come soon, but the plane is not waiting for anyone.
With no choice but to stop mumbling, Zhou Zhi said goodbye to the Li brothers and cousin An Xin, and got on the plane with Director Wang Lin Wanqiu.
After putting away her luggage and sitting next to Lin Wanqiu, Zhou Zhi saw her curiously groping around in the cramped position, and couldn't help but feel funny: "Hey, sister, why do you act like you've never been on a plane?"
