Chapter 1022 Gift
We are all busy people. Of course we are very happy to have such an opportunity to meet each other and accompany the three princes and two ladies of the Li family in Hong Kong.
While everyone was busy saying goodbye to the Li family, Liu Yushu quietly pulled Zhou Zhi aside: "Lao Fei rushed to the airport, saying something happened to the cultural relics on display in the VIP hall?"
“Yes.” Zhou Zhi said, “Sister Wanqiu and I found out about the work in the VIP room. One of the cultural relics from the Meihe Provincial Museum has been lost, and the case is probably under investigation now."
"Originally, I asked Sister Wanqiu to call Uncle Fei to let him know in advance, but Sister Wanqiu said so. No, saying that might cause more trouble for Uncle Fei.”
"Yes, isn't that a tip-off?" Liu Yushu said: "Fortunately, we didn't fight. Anyway, we have been notified and rushed over now."
"You are quite relieved about Uncle Fei." Zhou Zhi smiled.
“Tch, why don’t you worry?” Liu Yushu said: “It’s so easy for him to do this. When he goes out to search for houses, he uses his own family wealth. If he doesn’t hand it over to the company when he comes back, he’ll be fine. ? Do you deserve to be so troubled? ”
"This is really the truth." Zhou Zhi nodded: "Uncle Fei is not that kind of person."
Mr. Sun also came over: "Elbow, do you know about the VIP room? You said so. Is there something wrong with that blue bile bottle?”
"It's been transferred." Zhou Zhi said: "When I saw your name on the appraisal certificate, I knew there couldn't be a mistake in the appraisal. When we first met, didn't Lao Li just hold a Daoguang? Is Jilan doing an industrial appraisal? "
"If the thing that passed through your eyes turned into foreign trade porcelain and vacuum coating, there is only one possibility: it was subcontracted. "
< b r>"Has the fake Ru kiln phoenix-eared pot from Sichuan Bo been repackaged?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhi nodded: "But this case shouldn't be difficult to solve, because there are only a few people who can unlock it. . But the enamel poppy bowl with imperial inscription at the airport is very interesting.”
“Isn’t that the batch of export porcelain from around 1956?” Lin Wanqiu also came over and asked. .
"That thing is indeed interesting." Mr. Sun said: "Because the theme is very unique. There are red and yellow poppies on the outside, and there is a longevity peach and three cherries at the bottom of the inner bowl."
"Since it is a fake. , Aren’t the themes often randomly created?”
Mr. Sun smiled and said: “If it is ordinary antique porcelain, then of course it will. Question, but that piece of porcelain is May 6th foreign trade porcelain. At that time, those foreign trade porcelains were all made by skilled craftsmen from large factories, and the minimum requirement was to 'fake the real thing'."
"Everything. , there must be a prototype.”
“But I haven’t seen this prototype in previous materials.” Zhou Zhi said.
"I've never heard that poppies were used as a theme in the official kilns of Qianlong."
"I've never seen them either." Mr. Sun said, and then sighed: "I talked to the airport man before. I mentioned that some of their collections were not authentic and could not be exhibited as collections from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty. It seems they didn’t listen at all.”
“This is a work attitude problem. It’s not surprising that this happened now.”
The sunken patio of Suihuaxuan and the viewing glass wall of the aquarium make even The Li family, who come from a wealthy family on Hong Kong Island, were shocked and understood why Zhou Zhi repeatedly asked them to live in Sui Wah Heen.
Even the foreign-related hotels of the provincial government may not be able to meet such luxurious conditions.
Moreover, everyone here is a big boss who is used to seeing good things. The green hair of Xilong that Zhou Zhi got from Lu Qiao is no longer appreciated by anyone.
In order to facilitate the reception, Zhou Zhi specially asked Guan Ma to rearrange the huge library, imitate the elegant VIP hall, create some bulletproof glass cabinets, and display the precious collections collected over the years.
They are all people who know his background, so there is no need to hide it too much. It was still early for dinner, so everyone sipped good tea and exquisite refreshments prepared by Zhang Yuanfu, admired the thoughtful collections and books, and gathered around the table to chat casually amid the soothing music.
The most surprised person was undoubtedly Lin Wanqiu. She felt that she was too naive. She had always thought that Zhou Zhi’s collection mainly came from Haitong and Mr. Wang. Now, although there are many things here from Haitong, However, the importance of those collections is not considered top-notch here at all.
By now, Zhou Zhi can be called a collector. Only Li Keran's "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains" on the main wall of the library and Wu Guanzhong's "Lion Forest" are considered top-notch in today's auction market for modern artists.
And these collections can now be freely entered and exited, and can be auctioned at will, which is different from the porcelain of three generations ago that has the nature of cultural relics.
“Elbow, I brought you something.” Zhang Cheng took out a box and said, “Our merits have been fulfilled.”
“What is this?” Everyone came together. .
Zhou Zhi opened the box, and an unusually exquisite chao bead lay quietly inside.
"Wow..." All the women present were amazed.
"This is... a South Red Dynasty Pearl?" Mr. Sun was a little unbelievable: "The gold cover, the bright yellow ribbon, and the East Pearl's falling horns, are these all from the original pair?!"
"I dare not say that she is the original wife," Zhou Zhi smiled proudly: "But Wang Laoyun gave me the treasure cover and pendant horn, and Qi Laoyun gave me the ribbon and silk thread."
"Then why did you spend more money? Such great strength?" Mr. Sun felt a little strange.
"Because the elbow requirements are too high," Zhang Cheng said: "Qi Lao only gave silk thread, not braided rope. How to restore the beaded rope from the Qing Palace Building Office is also a small issue. .”
"This court bead is of a very high level, and can only be worn by imperial concubines and concubines." Mr. Sun nodded in admiration: "South red beads are easy to crack, and gold is easily melted and consumed. It is not good to be able to keep them until now. It’s easy.”
“Actually, I don’t have much credit. What I can make up are the simplest parts. Gold accessories and silk threads are difficult. Minato, weaving threads is also a big trouble."
"Elbow..." Lin Wanqiu couldn't put it down and took out the beads to admire: "It seems that I haven't given you any gifts when I get married..."
"Huh?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. Good guy, I haven't even had time to touch this thing. Is it going to change hands?
But having said that, this is really an excellent wedding gift. Although it is difficult to get it, it is precisely because of its rarity that it becomes so precious.
The price of imperial concubine-level Nanhong Chaozhen, which has all the main beads and accessories, was only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan the year before last, and has risen to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan this year.
A complete product like this has never appeared in the auction house, but roughly doubling it, around 200,000 yuan, is no problem.
This thing can now be exported abroad. As for the market situation abroad, it depends on the taste and mood of the big guys.
Zhou Zhi indeed did not prepare wedding gifts for Lin Wanqiu and cousin An Xin. After all, he would get married in the future, and they would have to pay them back.
Lin Wanqiu is an important partner of Zhou Zhi. The good things Lin Wanqiu bought for Zhou Zhi have huge room for appreciation. Now that they have spoken, two or three hundred thousand yuan is almost enough to get them, so she smiled Said: "It's really hard to find a gift that Sister Wanqiu likes. Since you like it so much, you can collect it."
"That won't work." Cousin An An immediately quit: "Unless I have it too!"
