golden ear

Chapter 66
Wu Tianyuan took Yuan Datou for a stroll around the antique city in the tenth year of the Republic of China, especially the street stalls and auctions with no reserve price every weekend. There were a large number of coins, and sometimes they were all grabbed. leak.

In the evening, Wu Tianyuan went home to watch the preview video sent by Zhang Yang. Now he has contacted many students scattered all over the place to help shoot the preview video.One-time wages, easy and an income, many people are willing to do it.

In the later stage, Li Hong processed it to clean up the noise, and Wu Tianyuan was able to lock the antiques of the Republic of China very quickly, and then compared the auction house's markings to see if there were any omissions?

Even if it is not a leak, it can be auctioned. As long as it is cost-effective, it is also a fixed income to sell it in the store.

"Brother, there are two auction previews in Osaka recently, I want to go and see them."

Liu Meizi pulled Wu Tianyuan and said coquettishly, "The time was tight last time in Kyoto, and I didn't have time to go home. This time, I want to go back and have a look."

Wu Tianyuan rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "You girl want to do private work at public expense?"

Liu Meizi chuckled: "I don't know if I can see it clearly, but I'm still a good friend! It's not a personal affair. Osaka is also a famous cultural city. Speaking of it, it has more heritage than Kyoto. There are many good things in the auction."

"That's right. I happened to receive the video over there. I'll watch it tonight. You go home and continue to pick up the leaks."

Wu Tianyuan thought for a while: "Do you have any friends by your side? In the future, you will definitely not be able to work alone. It is best to find two trustworthy people to help with the auction. Mixed race Chinese are the best."

"No problem, I thought about it too. I have already contacted three friends. They are all best friends who have played together for a long time. One is in Osaka, one is in Nagoya, and the other is working in Kyoto."

"You're smart, don't let them do it for nothing. There is a bonus every time. RB's auctions are basically held on weekends, and the frequency does not conflict. It should be able to catch up."

Wu Tianyuan will be the first to establish a RB team as soon as possible, and collect more information on small auction houses.He has the ability to determine the authenticity, which is the biggest advantage.Even Wanda's professional team has to go to the site to inspect it in person, which is much less efficient.

The aesthetics of RB people is different from that in China. They pay more attention to high-grade ancient porcelain, and don't pay much attention to Ming and Qing blue and white, and the prices of high-quality goods are much lower.As long as it is confirmed that it is genuine, it is usually an antique with high cost performance. Wu Tianyuan is more and more eager to evolve to the Qing Dynasty, and that is the hot item in the domestic market.

"Is this Hong Xianci?"

Wu Tianyuan came home at night and began to watch the previews of the three new auctions from Osaka, and suddenly found a good thing.

"A pair of famille rose vases from Jurentang in the Republic of China?"

Wu Tianyuan listened to the cries of the vases in the video, and saw that the label was only Republican pastels, and became happy. This is probably another leak.

With the demise of the feudal monarchy during the Republic of China, "official kiln" has become a historical term. After 1916, JDZ porcelain was mainly made of watercolor and pastel. The imperial porcelain fired by Guo Shiwu at that time became a rare treasure pursued by modern collectors, known as "Hongxian Porcelain" in the world.

According to "JDZ Historical Draft", "Antique Old Text" and other works, after Guo Shiwu came to JDZ as the general supervisor of pottery affairs, he invited experts from all aspects of the imperial kiln factory in the Qing Dynasty and chose the Hubei Guild Hall in JDZ City as the porcelain painting workshop. .Yan Ruzhen, a famous ceramicist, was in charge of firing, and fired a batch of high-grade porcelain - famille rose and enamel.

The place where the President lives is Ju Ren Tang in Zhongnanhai, so the porcelain inscriptions burned are "J Ren Tang System" and "J Ren Tang" in red seal script.But Yuan Shikai went against the trend of history, and died after only 83 days as emperor.Not many "Hongxian Porcelain" were burned, and the ones handed down are even rarer, which can be described as rare.

"In addition to the eight friends of Zhushan, even if Hongxian porcelain has its own characteristics, the base price of this pair of vases is only 20 yen, which is definitely a big leak."

The "Hong Xian Nianzhi" was made by the famous master of this workshop using the remaining porcelain clay. It lasted nearly two years, and it is still a rare treasure with limited circulation.However, after the reform and opening up, there have been a large number of imitations, and the level has become worse and worse. There are many high imitations in China, so there are very few genuine products.

In the early years, domestic collectors only paid attention to Ming and Qing porcelains, and dismissed the Republic of China. Many authentic pieces were lost overseas, but now they are sought after because of their scarcity.

"It just so happens that Liu Meizi is going home. Let her participate in the auction. Besides a pair of vases, there is also a Guanyin vase that is also from Juren. Let's take it together."

Wu Tianyuan watched the video once, and locked in a total of four Juren models, as well as several snuff bottles from the Republic of China, all of which were small leaks.Write down the serial number and let Liu Mizi take a picture.

"We are going to hold Qi Baishi's special painting and calligraphy exhibition in the middle of next month, mainly in cooperation with Xijing. I have here a complete set of porcelain plates from Zhushan Eight Friends, plus these four pieces of Hongxian porcelain, and more than a dozen ancient coins, together with Kuping's exhibition .It’s considered a special show, I didn’t expect me to be able to be alone so soon?”

Wu Tianyuan is a little proud. After developing the ability to pick up leaks overseas, the efficiency is very high.It feels great to be able to control the whole situation without leaving home.While collecting video data, the subordinates participated in the auction.Every time I come down, I will gain a lot, at least I can earn two or three times the profit.

Compared with the initial investment, it can be said to be a huge profit. He is more and more obsessed with this sense of strategizing. The first stop is RB, and the next step is other countries.According to statistics, there are 167 million pieces of primary and secondary cultural relics lost overseas, scattered in 47 museums in 217 countries.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Some people have estimated that at least 1000 million pieces of cultural relics have flowed out, half of which are exported products, that is, used for export to earn foreign exchange in ancient times. Smuggled out of the motherland.

"In the future, I will form a worldwide leak-picking team. Since God gave me this ability, I will undertake this mission. Kuping Yiliang is my first official collection, and it is also an orphan. In the future, I will set up a museum, treasure collection exhibition, Others are auctioned to those who are destined to make money, and then continue to pick up leaks, store and nourish, and a virtuous circle.

In fact, the real big collectors all use the way of collecting and raising. At the beginning, they collect while learning. With the improvement of aesthetics and vision, they continue to sell ordinary products, collect high-quality goods, and finally establish their own collection system and personal characteristics.

This is the reason why a hundred common items are not as good as one high-quality item. People will only remember who has heavy items and orphan items. As for your currency, no one cares about it.

Collecting the truth is five words, the rare is the most expensive!The more you cherish the rare ones, the more valuable they are, and the more valuable they are for collection and appreciation. This is why calligraphy, painting and porcelain in the Song and Yuan Dynasties are the most expensive.There is no one in a million that can be handed down, and the complete appearance can only be realized through the continuous inheritance of collectors in the past.

"Since I have supernatural powers, I must have a higher vision. Except for a very small number of my own collections, they are all used to make money in auctions and accumulate capital and fame. In the future, there will be national treasures waiting for me. One is a complete set. Treasures, the second is orphans, these two are the standards I should pursue."

Wu Tianyuan has roughly determined his own collection direction and system in the future. He is a professional after all, and he has many senior collectors around him, so he avoids many detours. Both his aesthetic level and his eyesight have improved rapidly.Once you have a clear direction, you will succeed if you persist in your efforts.
