Chapter 1076 2000 Guangcai
"Are these carvings from the eighteenth century?"

After walking a few steps, Li Yang suddenly squatted down and asked in a low voice, pointing to some art reliefs on the roadside flower beds.

These reliefs can be seen to be very old at first glance. Recently, Li Yang has also studied foreign carving art. These reliefs obviously have the characteristics of Europe in the eighteenth century.

"Yes, all the sculptures on this street have a certain history, but it's a pity that they were destroyed before, and they couldn't be completely intact!"

Charles nodded slightly, with a little pride, but also seemed to regret it. From this, it can be seen that protecting everything here has gone deep into the bones of each of them.

Li Yang and Bai Ming looked at each other, and finally nodded together.

The protection of cultural relics by the Italians is indeed much stronger than that in China. A commercial street has actually made them see many problems.

Bai Ming sighed in his heart, while Li Yang thought about how to recruit and educate museum staff in the future.

If they can love and care for all the cultural relics from the bottom of their hearts like the people here, the management of the museum will become very easy, and the situation like the Palace Museum will never happen.

"Mr. Li Yang, this is my shop!"

A few minutes later, Charles stood in front of a shop with a little oriental color and said something with a smile.

Charles has three stores here, not in the same area, nor with the same name. The other two stores mainly sell European antiques, and only this one has a lot of oriental cultural relics.

So he directly brought Li Yang and Bai Ming here.

"Mr. Charles, is there another good baby?"

Bai Ming asked with a smile, he had been to this store once, and the items inside were very good.

Some people have said that most of China's cultural relics are circulated abroad, and there are more high-end cultural relics abroad. This is not false. The country's weakness for hundreds of years has allowed Western tyrants to plunder too many treasures from China.

Some of these treasures have entered museums in other countries, but more are passed down in private hands.

In foreign countries, sometimes it is more convenient and simpler to acquire some high-quality cultural relics than domestic ones. This is a fact, a very helpless and sad fact.

"Two, go in and have a look!"

Charles smiled slightly, looking very confident, showing a very formal etiquette of European nobles. Li Yang and Bai Ming looked at each other and walked inside together.

This store is not too small, and there is an English signboard hanging outside, which means Pearl of the Orient. From the signboard, it can be seen that there are more oriental cultural relics here.

But that's not all. There are also some European oil paintings, and Chinese calligraphy and paintings are placed in the calligraphy and painting area.

In addition, there are some ancient European gadgets, which do not take up much space, but embellish this place into a merger of things.

After all, Charles is a European, and he would not deliberately run a shop of pure oriental cultural relics.

"Weaving gold colored porcelain?"

Bai Ming glanced casually, and when he saw the Porcelain District, he was immediately taken aback.

On a shelf, there were many pieces of colored porcelain in different styles but with the same characteristics. Li Yang also noticed these porcelains, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Li Yang and Bai Ming unconsciously took two steps forward and arrived at the porcelain shelf together.

A look of pride flashed across Charles' face. He had just obtained this batch of colored porcelain not long ago. When he saw Bai Ming, he had already expected that these colored porcelain would definitely surprise them.

Woven gold colored porcelain, also known as Guangdong colored porcelain, Guangzhou woven gold colored porcelain.

But modern people have given him a better and easier to remember name, which is Guangcai.

Guangcai originated from the Sancai in Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, but it really took shape in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and then developed very well in Yongzheng and Qianlong, but the real large-scale development was still in the late Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, the reputation of Guangcai in China is not particularly great, and it is far inferior to pastels and enamel colors that have the same origin as Guangcai.

This is purely for historical reasons.

To put it simply, Guangcai is porcelain specially exported and sold to foreigners. In 1684, after the sea ban was lifted in the 23rd year of Kangxi, a large number of foreign businessmen poured into Guangzhou.

At that time, what these foreigners liked the most were tea, porcelain and silk.

Guangcai is one of the exported porcelains. JDZ burns the porcelain embryos, transports them to Guangzhou, and then the people here color them, and then transport them to the ship for them to sell back to their own country.

Because it is used for export, generally speaking, better porcelain embryos are used, so Guangcai porcelain is generally very regular, better than some domestic colored porcelain.

Guangcai is a kind of trade goods, and it is mainly exported, so the current stock is still acceptable.

However, most of them were Guangcai in the late Qing Dynasty, and those in the Kangxi and Qianlong periods were relatively rare. The trade at that time was not like the threats of various countries with guns and guns. You had to produce as much as I wanted.

How much to sell at that time, or we have the final say.

In addition, the craftsmanship of that period was at its peak, which caused the price of Guangcai in the Kangxi and Qianlong periods to be much higher than that in the late Qing Dynasty.

The Guangcai porcelain here in Charles has many styles and quantities, dozens of pieces.

What's even more rare is that this batch of Guangcai exhibits are available in every period from Kangxi to the late Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China. It is almost a small Guangcai exhibition.

Among them, what surprised Li Yang and Bai Ming the most was the large bowl with four seasons entwined patterns.

The four large bowls were placed in the most conspicuous positions, all of which were genuine and high-quality products from the Qianlong period. Such large bowls are very rare in China, let alone complete sets.

Just these four big bowls are worth tens of millions.

"Charles, where did you get that?"

Bai Ming pointed to the Guangcai porcelain in front of him, and asked with wide eyes. Charles smiled slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Bai Ming's attitude.

"An old friend of mine happened to have a batch of this kind of porcelain in his house, so I asked him to share some of it with me. How about it, is it okay?"

"It's okay, not only okay, I'm jealous!"

Bai Ming pouted his mouth, and said something very unhappily.

His face showed naked envy and jealousy. If he was a stranger, he would definitely despise him. However, Charles and him are old acquaintances. Knowing his temperament, he laughed out loud.

Charles' pride made Bai Ming even more jealous.

This whole set of porcelain was available from Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Guangxu to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, but it was easy to get just one or two pieces. It is really not easy to get such a complete set, which can be found in every period.

"Mr. Charles, you put it here, it should be for sale?"

Li Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked a question. Both Bai Ming and Charles turned their heads and looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, these are for sale, not for sale!"

Mr. Charles was a little surprised, but he was not slow to react, so he said something right away.

"In that case, Mr. Charles, would you like to make an offer?"

Li Yang smiled and nodded, while Bai Ming beside him seemed even more surprised.

He knew, however, that Li Yang seldom buys other people's things. Most of his collections are obtained through leak detection, and Li Yang's greatest pleasure is to find leaks.

Li Yang has been recognized as the leak-seeking king in China for two consecutive years. According to his current performance, he will still be the leak-picking king at the next first-class expert exchange conference.

In Bai Ming's impression, Li Yang has always been looking for leaks, and rarely spends a lot of money to buy things.

It is impossible to miss these Guangcai porcelains in front of us. Charles must know their value, and Guangcai porcelains are more expensive abroad than in China. If Li Yang wants to buy them, he must spend a lot of money.

That's why he was surprised.

"Which one do you want?"

Charles rolled his eyes slightly, the smile on his face became wider, and he asked directly.

"all!"

"all?"

Charles's face showed surprise again. He has more than 40 pieces of Guangcai porcelain, and the combined value is not low.

"Yes, I want all of these, Mr. Charles, give me a preferential price!"

Li Yang nodded with a smile. He wants to open a museum and needs too many exhibits. It is not easy to come across porcelains from different periods like this.

With these porcelains, he can set up a small Guangcai porcelain area, so that more people can appreciate Guangcai porcelains of various periods.

It can also allow those collectors to have a more intuitive comparison. Putting Guangcai porcelain from various periods together has more important educational significance. The distinctive characteristics of each period can also make everyone who sees it remember more. Firm and deep.

Bai Ming didn't know Li Yang's thoughts, so he seemed very surprised.

"Mr. Li, if you want all of them, I will give you the best price. This batch of porcelain will cost 250 million euros. I will give you a 200% discount, [-] million. What do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Charles said something softly.

The whole set of porcelain, 200 million euros, almost 2000 million yuan, the price is not too high, and the four large bowls are worth 1000 million yuan.

Charles's price is still reasonable, after Li Yang calculated it in his heart, he nodded silently.

He looked at Bai Ming again, and Bai Ming's face was a little helpless.

Fortunately, Charles didn't ask for 250 million. This price is really depressing. Charles knows a little about Chinese cultural relics, but he doesn't know about some of this kind of Chinese culture.

Two hundred and five is a number that almost everyone in China avoids.

"200 million, no problem, let's trade now!"

Li Yang directly took out the checkbook. He has a Swiss bank account and has already saved money in it. There is no problem in writing a check for 200 million euros.

There are a total of 43 pieces of Guangcai porcelain. After Li Yang handed over the check and signed the contract, these porcelains became his collection. Participating in the auction cost 2000 million.

After receiving the porcelain, Li Yang was in a good mood, and his special ability was unnaturally activated.

Under the special ability, these porcelains are more intuitive. After just a glance, Li Yang's brows suddenly frowned, his eyes rolled back slightly, and his eyes fell on the piece of foreign oil painting.
