Chapter 1020 Gift
We are all busy people, so 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 in the VIP room that one of the cultural relics from Gongmei and the Provincial Museum had been dropped. It is estimated that a case has been opened for investigation now."
"Originally, I asked Sister Wanqiu to call Uncle Fei and tell him in advance on the way, but Sister Wanqiu refused, saying that it 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 received the notice and rushed over now."
"You feel quite relieved about Uncle Fei." Zhou Zhi smiled.
"Exactly, 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, and what if he doesn't hand it over to the company when he comes back? Is he really going to make such a fuss?"
"This is really the truth." Zhou Zhi nodded: "Uncle Fei is not that kind of person."
Mr. Sun also came over: "Elder, do you know what happened in the VIP room? Is there something wrong with the Jilan bile bottle?"
"It's been transferred." Zhou Zhi said: "When I saw your name on the appraisal certificate, I knew that there couldn't be a mistake in the appraisal. When we first met, didn't Lao Li just hold a Daoguang?
Is Ji Lan doing the art appraisal?"
"If the thing that passed through your eyes turned into foreign trade porcelain and vacuum coating, there is only one possibility: it was transferred!"
"Has the fake Ru kiln phoenix-eared teapot from Sichuan Expo been repackaged as well?"
"Yeah." Zhou Zhi nodded: "But this case shouldn't be difficult to solve, because there are only a few people who can open the lock. But the enamel poppy bowl with imperial inscriptions collected by the airport is very interesting."
"Isn't that the batch of export porcelain that was produced around five or six years ago?" Lin Wanqiu also came over and asked.
"That thing is really 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 bowl inside."
"Since it's a fake, isn't the subject matter often fabricated?"
Mr. Sun smiled and said: "If it is ordinary antique porcelain, there will be problems, but that porcelain is May 6th foreign trade porcelain. At that time, those foreign trade porcelains were all made by skilled craftsmen from large factories. The minimum requirement is
'Fake the real'."
"Everything must have a prototype."
"But I haven't seen this prototype in previous materials." Zhou Zhi said.
"I've never heard of poppies as the theme in the official kilns of Qianlong."
"I haven't seen it either." Mr. Sun said, and then sighed: "I have mentioned to the airport before that some of their collections are not authentic and cannot be exhibited as collections of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty. It seems that they have no
I didn’t listen.”
"This is a problem with work attitude. It's not surprising that this happened now."
The sunken patio and aquarium viewing glass wall of Sui Hua Xuan shocked even the Li family, who came from a wealthy family in Hong Kong Island, and they also understood Zhou Zhi's confidence in repeatedly asking them to live in Sui Hua Xuan.
Even the provincial government's foreign-related hotels 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 provide a good reception, Zhou Zhi asked Guan Ma to rearrange the huge library, imitate the 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. Everyone was sipping good tea and exquisite refreshments prepared by Zhang Yuanfu, admiring the thoughtful collections and books, and chatting casually at the table 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 Wang Lao. Now, although there are many things here from Haitong, the importance of those collections is here.
Not top-notch 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 Grove" are considered top-notch in today's auction market for modern artists.
Moreover, these collections can now be freely entered and exited, and can be auctioned at will, unlike the porcelain from three generations ago that is a cultural relic.
"Elbow, I brought you something." Zhang Cheng took out a box and said, "Our merits have been completed."
"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... the Southern Red Dynasty Pearl?" Mr. Sun was a little unbelievable: "The gold cover, the bright yellow ribbon, and the East Pearl's pendant 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 tapestry and silk thread."
"Then why did you spend so much effort?" 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."
"The level of these pearls is also very high, and can only be worn by imperial concubines and imperial concubines." Mr. Sun nodded in admiration: "South red beads are easy to crack, and gold is easily melted and consumed. It is very unfortunate that they can be preserved until now.
It’s easier.”
"Actually, I don't have much credit. What I can scrape together are the simplest parts. Gold accessories and silk threads are difficult to scrape together, and braiding threads is also a big trouble."
"Elbow..." Lin Wanqiu couldn't put it down and took out the beads to admire: "It seems that you haven't given me any gifts when I get married..."
"Ah?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. My dear, 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 Chao beads, the kind with all the main beads and accessories, was only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan the year before last, but this year it has risen to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
A complete product like this has never appeared in an auction house before, but roughly doubling it to about 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.
It is true that Zhou Zhi did not prepare any 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, and 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, so she smiled and said: "It can make Wan Qiu
It's really hard to find a gift that Sister Qiu likes. Since you like it so much, you can collect it."
