Chapter 377 Chapter 377 Broken Porcelain

After suddenly asking about the price of the Xuande stove in his hand, Ah San didn't bother to check Boss Gong's expression. It seemed that Ah San's inquiry just now was just an inadvertent move.However, whether it was Boss Gong himself or outsiders like Uncle Wang and Jia Sidao present, they all knew in their hearts that Ah San's move just now was very successful. At least, judging from his unreasonable way of playing cards, he has a slight upper hand! "If you want to talk about the Xuande stove, it's actually just such a stove that was made during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty." Ah San deliberately changed the topic, and said, "In my opinion, The Ming Dynasty was still very powerful. Not only did it bring back a lot of precious red sandalwood, but it also transported almost all the red sandalwood in the world to China, and produced such fine porcelain as Doucai. That’s cloisonne, of course, none of this has anything to do with Xuande furnace.”

Perhaps Ah San was talking too far, Boss Gong said to Ah San: "Ah San, if you really like such a stove, why don't you give me this number?" Secretly, Boss Gong gave Ah San swiped his finger, but when Ah San saw it, his expression didn't move. "Let me tell you the truth, this thing is really not profitable." Boss Gong said with a smile, "Otherwise, I wouldn't put it under the coffee table. If there is any profit at all , I can’t wait to make a move sooner.” "Boss Gong, what you said is true." Ah San said. "That's natural. No matter what, it's not the first business between me and your San, can I still make money from you without conscience?" Boss Gong said, and asked softly, "I gave you the price just now, how about it?...By the way, this thing is just given to Ah San equally. Do you two have any objections?"

This last sentence is aimed at Uncle Wang and Jia Sidao. Jia Sidao smiled wryly in his heart, could it be that at this time, he can still say that he has an opinion.In the final analysis, if Jia Sidao said he had no interest in Xuande Furnace, it would be a lie, but he was definitely not very interested.And because it was Ah San who received such a thing, even if it was the Xuande stove that he picked up from under the coffee table, Jia Sidao was not going to say anything, and directly acquiesced to Boss Gong's statement. Perhaps, it was precisely because he saw that Jia Sidao didn't care much about the stove, and that Ah San came with Jia Sidao, Boss Gong had the courage to directly choose to go with Ah San, who was the last one who looked at the stove. Three to make a deal, shall we?

"20% off!" Ah San popped out a very crisp word. "Let's add a little more." Boss Gong thought for a while and said, "A 20% discount is directly lower than my cost price. Relationships belong to relationships, and favors belong to favors. You can't let me lose money, can you?" "Okay, since Boss Gong said so, I'll add another half." Ah San pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "This price can't be increased." "Deal." Boss Gong was also a very agile person, and immediately made a decision.After that, it seemed that he was in a state of doing business, and now he turned around to Jia Sidao and Uncle Wang, but said with a smile: "I made you two laugh, hehe, I'll get it right away." A few things, you may find something that you can see."

"Old Gong, I'm not in a hurry here, you'd better entertain Xiao Jia first." Uncle Wang was sipping tea leisurely at the side, "Of course, before that, Lao Gong, can you give me some tea first?" Shall I have another drink?" "Brother, I was negligent. Immediately, immediately..." Boss Gong hurriedly added water to Uncle Wang, and then asked Jia Sidao, "Xiao Jia, there are many types of porcelain, What kind of porcelain do you prefer?" Although this question is very polite, it is also very particular. At least it shows that there must be a lot of good porcelain in "Ciyunzhai" at the moment, and there are many types, so there is room for choice; I have the feeling that I always ask the customer's needs first in everything, which makes people feel at home and has the urge to buy the next piece of fine porcelain here.However, because of this, Jia Sidao didn't know how to choose.

And Ah San next to him, seeing Jia Sidao's slightly thinking expression, couldn't help interjecting a little funny, and said: "Xiao Jia! Don't be fooled by Boss Gong. The type of porcelain, although relatively Many, but it’s nothing more than celadon, white porcelain and the like. Or, if you mention a specific age, it would be more suitable.” "Ah San, just try to break the stage for me." Boss Gong pretended to be a little annoyed, but in Jia Sidao's view, he still had a cute look.It's as if Uncle Wang just pushed aside the current time to Jia Sidao, and asked Boss Gong to continue to refill his tea by the way.

This kind of interest in details is far beyond the comparison of those hustle and bustle in life. "Then just get a small gadget that you have always kept in your hand." Jia Sidao thought about it and said, "For one thing, I am only a beginner in the porcelain industry, and I don't care about things that are too expensive. I don’t know how to appreciate it. If it falls into my hands, it will be buried instead. Secondly, my porcelain shop is about to open, and there are naturally a lot of places where I need money. Temporary, temporary I can't afford too much cash anymore. Boss Gong can't let me, because of my own preferences, bet on you the emerald store at that time, right?"

"Hehe, Xiao Jia is also a funny person." Boss Gong said with a smile, then signaled Jia Sidao and the others to wait for a while, and he went up to the second floor by himself. "Xiao Jia, what you said just now was very good." Ah San quickly sat beside Jia Sidao, and by the way, brought the Xuande stove that she had just received. "Ah San, you've picked it up today." Uncle Wang looked at Ah San's appearance from the side, and said cheerfully, "I can dig out a 'leak' from the mouth of that old Gong!" Come on, it's not easy, it's not easy."

"Otherwise, if you like it, Uncle Wang, I'll give you this item as well, okay?" Ah San didn't like this kind of thing, so he just stuffed it back. The smile on Uncle Wang's face suddenly became a little embarrassing, and then he shook his head slightly, "Good boy, it's really good, Mr. Wei has a successor..." As a result, even Ah San's relatively thick skin felt slightly reddened. "I really didn't realize that you would blush too." Jia Sidao couldn't help joking, then returned to the topic just now, and asked, "What happened to my words?"

But Ah San gave Jia Sidao a thump, gave him a clear look, and said, "I don't know about your family background?" As he spoke, he didn't care that there was Uncle Wang nearby, and approached Jia Sidao. In his ear, he whispered, "However, to be honest, for someone like Boss Gong, you need to squeeze him a little more, give him some surprises, or just pretend to be pitiful first to win some sympathy. Although it is not of much use, it is better than nothing." "Greatly, you are the first strategy." Jia Sidao grinned. "I can't help it." Ah San shrugged her shoulders and said, "By the way, at the price negotiated just now, my funds are not enough for the time being. Brother, can you help me?"

"Isn't it? How expensive is this thing?" Jia Sidao was a little surprised. "It's not that this thing is expensive, but that I have something else to do recently." Ah San didn't say anything specific, and Jia Sidao couldn't ask too many questions, so he nodded directly.Between friends, we still need to provide some help within our ability.However, what could make Ah San feel that the more important thing was related to money? Could it be that Ah San took a fancy to something very valuable? "Speaking of which, this Xuande stove should make you a small fortune, right?" Jia Sidao asked. "Who knows." Ah San said, seemingly indifferent, "There is no definitive conclusion about the Xuande stove. Xiao Jia, you know that too. As for this thing, the current rules in the industry are only Whether it is good or bad, regardless of its authenticity. If it is done well, such a Xuande furnace should be able to fetch a price of 30,000 to 50,000." Speaking of this, Ah San still sighed a little: "When will I find a real Xuande stove? It's still fun to be the emperor. Let's not talk about the thousands of responses, the front and back hugs, and the coming from all directions Zhu Zhanji, the emperor of Xuande, just saw that the furnishings of his home were too shabby, so he decided to come to a fine decoration, and made a big gimmick to change the style or something. As a result, he happened to meet the emperor of Siam who gave him A lot of wind-milled copper has been paid tribute." Ah San sighed, and asked, "Do you know about wind-milled copper? Don't know? I don't know either. I don't know who told Emperor Xuande that the original refined copper can be smelted four times. A strange precious light. No, on the whim of the emperor, he asked the people below to use wind-polished copper as the main material, and then allocated gold, silver, and a lot of precious metals, all of which were given to him. They were smelted together. It was a mixed bag. Fortunately, something was smelted. However, only a quarter of the original stuff was left per catty. After Xuande thought about it, this thing was also smelted. It’s not very useful, just imitate some of the works handed down from the predecessors, such as the tripod of the Shang Dynasty, the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, a total of more than 3,000 pieces were made, and some say more than 5,000 pieces. There are furnaces, which are the so-called real Xuande furnaces... But, who knows where these Xuande furnaces are." "Maybe, this is the one in your hand." Jia Sidao teased. "I really think so." Ah San made a displeased expression, "There are only a few thousand pieces in total, and they are all made with secret recipes. Now even the so-called secret recipes have been lost. If so If it’s easy to find one, then I won’t post it.… The probability is probably even smaller than finding a Yuan Qinghua.” "You can't say that." Jia Sidao pondered and said, "There is always a chance. Hehe, if you don't like this thing, then what are you taking it for?" "Make money." Ah San gave Jia Sidao an angry look, and continued to sigh, "This kind of Xuande stove, whether it is a clear imitation or not, should be worth a lot of money." For this point, Jia Sidao can understand.As Ah San said, in the market these days, most of the Xuande furnaces are based on appearance, regardless of authenticity.Because there are not many Xuande furnaces passed down from later generations.Based on those very few foundations, people who came later wondered what should be done? As a result, some people began to imitate in large quantities.The ones circulating in the market are basically batch-type imitations.But this Xuande furnace is not the same as some other collections.You can't say it's imitation, it must be bad.Just like some official kiln porcelain imitated from the previous dynasty in the Qing palace, the price is also very high. Moreover, what is particularly rare is that it is precisely because of the proliferation of these imitations that many ordinary people can see the style of the famous Xuande furnace.I have to say that in the domestic environment, counterfeit products and pirated versions are all very popular... Afterwards, Jia Sidao felt that talking about Xuande furnace with Ah San endlessly seemed a bit far-fetched.So they took Uncle Wang together and began to discuss some experience in porcelain collection.You know, this is the purpose of Jia Sidao coming to "Ciyunzhai" here. As for the Xuande stove, let Ah San have fun secretly.According to Ah San himself, he is about 70% sure that the thing belongs to Ming Fang.So, Jia Sidao immediately asked for a dividend, and very straightforwardly proposed that if Ah San didn't give the after-sales dividend, Jia Sidao would not pay when he left! Ah San could only laugh a few times in a "hehe" thief, and stopped talking. ... Not long after, Boss Gong walked in while saying sorry.In his hand, he held a package of newspapers, which should be wrapped with a piece of porcelain. According to Jia Sidao's request, what Boss Gong brought out would definitely not be a heavy weapon, and besides, it would definitely not be too perfect in terms of appearance.If not, Boss Gong should have given the things away long ago. As for why Jia Sidao chose some porcelain that had been kept for a long time and had not been traded for collection, it was also because Jia Sidao wanted to collect some unique gadgets.If something is too popular, no one can say it, even if it is slightly flawed in appearance, others will accept it.Of course, just now Ah San came over excitedly, smiled strangely, and praised Jia Sidao's request, which was more reasonable and correct. It's not that Jia Sidao really can't afford high-quality porcelain. After all, this is the first time to do business with "Ciyunzhai", Jia Sidao naturally thought that it is better to be able to trade than to return empty-handed.It is better to be able to trade as soon as possible than to grind out the trading results every now and then.All in all, it is to give each other a good impression first. In this way, it is reasonable for Jia Sidao to evade saying that his jade shop will open soon and he will not be able to spare a large amount of funds.With the shrewdness of Boss Gong, he must be able to understand that Jia Sidao is not going to spend a lot of money to complete the first transaction.If there is really any good porcelain, it can be identified and selected slowly in the days to come. Besides, Jia Sidao always felt that he was quite handy in Jade and his party.In terms of porcelain collection, although I have achieved good results many times, I am still a novice in the final analysis, right? Of course, Jia Sidao would never say such an idea.If not, Ah San, the so-called "veteran", might be so envious of Jia Sidao's luck in collecting porcelain that he vomits blood, right? As Boss Gong slowly opened the wrapped newspaper, a bucket-colored leaf-curled bottle gradually appeared in front of several people.Jia Sidao noticed that when Uncle Wang saw this thing, he only glanced at it, and then stopped looking at it, and felt quite clear about it.Obviously, he either saw this thing a long time ago, or felt that Boss Gong dug a small hole to test Jia Sidao's eyesight. Jia Sidao couldn't help but immediately lifted his spirits and began to examine carefully. The carcass glaze of the whole Doucai scroll-leaf pattern bottle is relatively delicate, and it looks relatively white, without that kind of beige feeling. The carcass is relatively light and thin, and the transparency is very high. Jia Sidao raised this bottle Lift it up and look up against the light, you can almost see the faint flesh red flooding out of the carcass. In addition, the enamel on the surface of the bottle is also white and moist like fat, giving people a very delicate and warm feeling. Jia Sidao recalled that this is the characteristic of the glaze color of the typical Chenghua official kiln in the Ming Dynasty, which is "like fat and jade"... "Boss Gong seems to be competing with Ming Dynasty today." While Jia Sidao was appraising, Ah San who was next to him chatted casually with Boss Gong.The Xuande stove just now was a Ming imitation, and the bucket-colored leaf-shaped bottle that appeared now also belongs to the Ming Dynasty, so it's no wonder Ah San asked this question. "Ming Dynasty stuff is good." Boss Gong didn't care about Jia Sidao's appraisal, but smiled lightly following Ah San's inquiry, "Ming Dynasty stuff is at least more valuable." If ordinary people say this, I'm afraid it will make people feel the smell of copper from some businessmen.However, when Boss Gong said this, he seemed very calm, as if things from the Ming Dynasty were indeed valuable. Ah San had to admit that most of the time, only people like Boss Gong or his second grandfather would show such a demeanor, right? "The good things in the Ming Dynasty are relatively valuable. However, this thing is hard to say." Uncle Wang who was next to him seemed to have the same feeling as Ah San. At this moment, he interrupted and said, "This I have seen this vase with curly leaf pattern no less than three times before, and the ring-shaped punch on it is really helpless, what a pity." The so-called mouth is the place where there is damage. "Listen to Uncle Wang's reminder, Xiao Jia, did you hear?" Ah San said to Jia Sida, raising her voice a little, and said, "Be careful when checking. Since there are conflicts It’s over, I’m thinking, maybe Boss Gong collected this from a street vendor.” "Nonsense!" When talking about the origin of this thing, Boss Gong was very serious, "This bottle with the Ming Cheng Hua Dou color scroll embossed bottle has been in my hand for nearly ten years. If it wasn't for this time Xiao Jia came here for the first time, and when I was upstairs, I suddenly saw it, which happened to be in line with Xiao Jia's proposal, and I really wasn't prepared to take it down." "Is this something you've been betting on for nearly ten years?" Now it was Ah San's turn to be a little surprised.You know, in terms of the flow of porcelain in "Ciyunzhai", it is really a remarkable thing that a piece of porcelain can be bet for nearly ten years.If it is not really a very good thing, it is an absolute fake. Turning to think that Uncle Wang also inspected such a bucket color leaf-shaped vase, but he didn't stop, Ah San looked at Boss Gong's eyes, suddenly became a little weird, and muttered in his mouth : "Even if it is something that has been collected for ten years, couldn't it be that you collected it from an antique stall ten years ago?" "Well, it seems that you are trying to find fault on purpose. If you don't tell the truth, you won't give up." Boss Gong understood Ah San's entanglement very well, so he stopped explaining further and motioned to Ah San. Three, be quiet, and wait for Jia Sidao to complete the appraisal, and then talk about the origin of this thing and why it has been kept in "Ciyunzhai" for nearly ten years. You must know that in general porcelain shops, there are not many things that can be put on hold for more than ten years. In fact, many porcelain shops have a history of only ten years. However, Ah San felt that the "rush" that Uncle Wang mentioned might be the main reason. Although Jia Sidao on the side of the coffee table was concentrating on appraising such a piece of porcelain, his ears were not idle. He listened to the conversation between Ah San and Boss Gong, and the reminder from Uncle Wang, and kept it in his ears. heart. When looking at this bucket-colored bottle with curly leaves, Jia Sidao’s initial thought was to compare what he saw with the Mingchenghua bucket-colored porcelain in his impression, and vaguely felt that the porcelain in front of him was At least in terms of style, it is very in line with the characteristics of that era. In this way, for such a piece of porcelain, I can't put it down.
