Chapter 632
"Hmm? Boss Jim, do you have any other requirements?"
At this time, Uncle Six's voice was very cautious, afraid that his words would make Jin Muchen unhappy, so he canceled the transaction.
After all, a transaction of three million was the largest transaction he had made since he was engaged in tomb robbing.
If this transaction is completed, the Li family alone can get one million. One million, which is not a small amount for them.
"However, I have three million, but I have to make all the unearthed items this time, and even the broken porcelain pieces in your last box, I have to ask for them!"
In fact, when he heard the sixth uncle shouting for three million, Jin Muchen was already filled with joy. This guy shouted for three million, which means that this guy is just a two-knife who only knows how to dig soil but does not know about archaeology.
You should know that in the eyes of these people, the most valuable thing among the treasures unearthed this time is nothing more than the bottles and jars that were cleaned out in the first box, but in the eyes of Jin Muchen, this is not the case.
In his eyes, the most valuable thing among the unearthed treasures was of course the last time he saw the whole box of broken porcelain pieces.
You should know that those broken porcelain pieces are the fragments of Chenghua Doucai porcelain, which is the rarest in the world. The Doucai porcelain from the Chenghua period has only been surviving in the world so far, and there are only one hundred pieces of them in total.
Regarding the status of this kind of porcelain in the history of Chinese porcelain, it can be said that this is a kind of porcelain that is no less than that of Ru kiln porcelain in the Song Dynasty, and the porcelain that pioneered the era of blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty.
Moreover, the number of existence in the world is rare, which makes this kind of porcelain more cherished.
You should know that except for the more than twenty pieces of this kind of porcelain, there are only ones in the Palace Museum on Baodao, and the rest are just a few pieces in the hands of private collectors.
So even if they are showing fragments of this kind of porcelain, it is also a priceless treasure for Jin Muchen.
You should know that even in the Porcelain Museum that produced this kind of porcelain, there are only sixteen restorations of this kind of porcelain. Jin Muchen also found photos of those restorations online. They were all damaged and not hidden, even if they were repaired by experts. The value and beauty were greatly reduced.
But even so, as long as these restorations are auctioned on the market, they are definitely the kind that is sought after by collectors. Even if it is a piece of Doucai porcelain that is open to the mouth, it can be sold for tens of millions of dollars.
This is the extraordinary thing about this precious porcelain, so the box of Doucai fragments seemed even more valuable in Jin Muchen's eyes.
Moreover, he had probably seen it before that the Doucai fragments in the box were mostly fragments of small objects, such as broken cups or broken bowls.
Such porcelain was the most exquisite one among Doucai porcelains at the time.
According to historical records, although Doucai porcelain is famous, they actually have to be divided into levels within it. As the saying goes, "Doucai has no great things", it refers to the essence and characteristics of Doucai porcelain.
Although the antiques in the capital and the Antique Museum on Baodao all contain Chenghua Doucai porcelain, the quality is quite good.
However, the Doucai porcelain they collected are basically some of the larger porcelains, all of which are bottles and jars.
And this Doucai porcelain is different from other varieties of porcelain.
Other famous Chinese porcelains. When collecting them, the first thing collectors need to look at is the size of the porcelain, and the general rules. The bigger the better, the better, the bigger the more valuable it is.
However, Chenghua’s Doucai is just the opposite. The meaning of the saying “Doucai has no great products” is that the real fine products in Doucai porcelain are not those big porcelains. On the contrary, the smaller the one is, the more valuable it is.
The reason for this statement is precisely because when Chenghua Doucai was born, it happened to be the white porcelain of ancient China, and it was at its peak.
The base of this Doucai porcelain is basically the most exquisite white porcelain. This white porcelain is generally as thin as paper and as white as jade. Even when illuminated with a strong flashlight, the white porcelain will be very transparent.
You should know that it was the ignorant era five or six hundred years ago, not the era when chemistry and modern electrical science are prosperous today.
You should know that even in the current era of scientific and prosperous science, not every porcelain factory can do it if it is as thin as paper, as white as jade, and has such a good light transmission. With the fingers of Balabala around the world, there are probably no more than fifteen porcelain factories that can produce such top white porcelain.
But hundreds of years ago, our ancestors, relying on their hands, eyes, and the forefront of chemical knowledge, made such top-notch white porcelain. What a proud thing?
Therefore, after the Chenghua Doucai that later generations saw, there was an appraisal term "Chenghua has no great power", and this sentence just reflects the characteristics of Chenghua Doucai porcelain.
There were dozens of pieces of Chenghua Doucai porcelain from that time, but on these dozens of pieces of Chenghua Doucai porcelain, the bottles and jars, because the size of the vessels is large, it is impossible to fire as thin as the bottom when firing. Therefore, although the characteristics of white ruyu are consistent with those of small ruyu, they cannot be as thin as paper as they are as thin as paper, and the light transmittance is even less comparable.
That's why people say that the porcelain that can truly reflect the essence of Chenghua Doucai porcelain happens to be small porcelain such as chicken jar cups or Doucai porcelain bowls.
This is also the main reason why Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was able to sell more than 200 million yuan in the past few years, which is close to 300 million yuan.
Because the chicken jar cup happens to be the best among the finest products of Doucai porcelain.
How many specific things have been passed down in the Chenghua era? Docai chicken jar cups, small porcelain bowls, porcelain plates, etc. have not given an accurate record in history.
As the most beloved son of Emperor Wanli, it was not uncommon for King Fu to get a set of Doucai porcelain from Emperor Wanli back then. So Jin Muchen guessed that the box of Doucai fragments were all top-notch good things.
Although the entire restoration work is somewhat unlikely to be seen in the eyes of many people, after all, it is broken like that even the top restoration masters cannot repair these porcelains as if they were not broken.
However, such a problem is not a problem for Jin Muchen. It is just a matter of throwing those broken porcelain pieces into his purple jade space for one night. As long as there is no missing pieces, you will be able to see a complete set of Chenghua Doucai porcelain.
If this can be just made up into a whole set, it would be a treasure worth hundreds of millions!
So Jin Muchen had to get this box of broken porcelain pieces no matter what.
And the sixth uncle offered these things three million, which means he didn't understand the value of the box of broken porcelain pieces at all. Otherwise, he would take a box of broken porcelain pieces and even take out a piece to buy outside, he could sell for hundreds of thousands or even millions.
And the sixth uncle felt relieved when he heard that Jin Muchen wanted to not even let go of the box of broken porcelain pieces.
"No problem, all the gains this time are yours, Mr. Jim."
When he said this, his face was full of joy, but his heart was whispering, this American and the second Japanese devils did not understand the market and did not even let go of the fragments of porcelain.
Those broken things are nothing. If you want to say it earlier, I want to have as much as I want.
When Jin Muchen saw that Uncle Six agreed, he felt relieved.
Since the deal has been reached, then without saying a word, both sides simply paid off their money on the spot.
Although Uncle Liu and his group of rural people are relatively conservative, they have done big business in the city, so there are still online banking and other things.
Jin Muchen transferred three million to Uncle Six and the others through online transfers. Then Uncle Six and the others simply packed the items and put them all in the warehouse downstairs of Jin Muchen, waiting for them to take them away as they left.
Jin Muchen was waiting for them to leave before slipping into the warehouse and put all the broken porcelain pieces into his purple jade space.
He doesn't care about other porcelains, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but he can't miss this box of Chenghua Doucai fragments.
If this is lost, it will be impossible to encounter it in the future.
After coming out of the warehouse, Uncle Six and the others were blushing, shouting at the women at home in a breeze, preparing lunch, but Jin Muchen simply got around.
"Uncle Six, I see that there is a box of broken porcelain pieces in the things you made this time. You must have made a lot of such things before, right? Then how did you deal with the broken porcelain pieces you made before?"
Jin Muchen was also targeted. After all, this time he happened to meet the broken porcelain pieces of Chenghua Doucai porcelain made by these guys. If these guys had dug out the pieces of broken porcelain pieces of the Song Dynasty Ru Kiln or the official kiln?
What if they had even dug out the blue and white porcelain pieces of the Yuan Dynasty or the Chai Kiln in the Later Zhou Dynasty?
If they really dug out those broken porcelain pieces, wow, I'll be there, so Jin Muchen would ask this question.
