golden ear

Chapter 87

Hu Jianmin was shocked, and quickly picked it up and studied it carefully. He is a big collector of calligraphy and seals, and the dozens of seals in his hand show his obsession.

"Is this what RB picked up again?"

Hu Jianmin was so excited, he could tell at first glance that it was an authentic work, the complete works of Guanghan Xingdou published by the court of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty!Covering all the hard work of the old man Shiquan, it is extremely precious.

"I got it from a RB collector, I know you like it, so I'll give you a look first."

Hu Jianmin patted Wu Tianyuan's shoulder happily, and was very satisfied with his attitude: "It's a pity that you still remember me and didn't go up for the auction. I am determined to get this treasure!"

"You don't know, this kind of printing looks like nothing to outsiders, just some ink pads and rubbings. But to us experts, it is more precious than anything else!"

"Books and seals don't matter. Anyone who likes calligraphy must like seal cutting. And seals are the place that best reflects a person's level. They are so small and unique."

Hu Jianmin picked up the large piece of Tianhuang that Wu Tianyuan photographed last time and played with it: "Only a real master can reflect the atmosphere on a small seal, and the seal is the treasure that can best cover all seals. This is also the Emperor Qianlong who is an emperor, and also If you have to carefully rub your hands, you can see how precious they are."

Wu Tianyuan nodded. He was not interested in ancient books and rubbings before, and felt that the threshold was high and it was not easy to understand.With the ability, he first missed the Splendid Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, which caused a sensation.Then Hu Jianmin rated this set of printed books very highly. It seems that we really need to pay more attention to this category in the future.

"Say it? Do you want money or something!"

Hu Jianmin directly put away the printed score, which is a priceless treasure for him, and a textbook for studying calligraphy and seal cutting in the past dynasties.No matter what Wu Tianyuan wants, he must take it.

"If you want money, go straight to the auction. I'll find you first today. First, we have a good relationship. Let me show you my baby first. Second, I want to change something I like for fun."

Hu Jianmin laughed loudly, admiring Wu Tianyuan's straightforwardness, and said generously: "Since you are a big boy, I, Hu Jianmin, can't be stingy! Choose whatever you like, and you can discuss anything you like in the study!"

Bartering is the main way for collectors to communicate. Knowing that you like porcelain, I can exchange the calligraphy and painting I like, and take what I need.

Wu Tianyuan locked on the target just now, and said with a smile: "Can you give me the ten scenic spots of Dong Bangda West Lake in Qing Dynasty?"

"Your eyesight is really ruthless! Just want the hand scroll of Ten Scenes of West Lake on Shiqu Baoji?"

Hu Jianmin said distressedly: "I photographed this in Jiashide in the early years and kept it for a long time. Do you really want this?"

Wu Tianyuan laughed and said, "I can't help it. Last time I exchanged Wang Shimin's Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake with Splendid Flower Valley last time. Do you think I should change it?"

"You have the West Lake of the Four Kings?"

Hu Jianmin suddenly realized: "I said, why did you choose this one! Forget it, you should pay attention to the series. Since you have the West Lake of the Four Kings, and I like printed books, change it!"

Wu Tianyuan hurriedly put away Dong Bangda's West Lake, this time it was not in vain, this is a heavy weapon.One is the hand scroll of palace treasures recorded by Shiqu Baoji, and the other is that I already have two sets of Ten Scenes of West Lake in my hand, which is very satisfying.

"I still have a Ming Xuande cricket jar, can you change it?"

Hu Jianmin looked at Wu Tianyuan's treacherous eyes, and shouted: "No exchange! I would rather buy it with money, the money can be earned back, and the treasure will be gone!"

Wu Tianyuan joked: "It's a pity, I still like a few of your paintings, Zhao Mengfu's is pretty good, and Shi Tao."

"Fuck you kid, that's the treasure of my town house, you can't get out even if you kill yourself, go away!"

Wu Tianyuan was hurriedly dragged out of the study by Hu Jianmin. This guy has too bad eyesight, he can't hide any good things from him, and he can't be allowed to stay for a long time.

The next day, when Wu Tianyuan put five official kilns of the third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty and one set of Shendetang in front of Sun Zhongzheng and Yuyao, they just hummed without any reaction?

"Hey, it seems that after the habit of picking up leaks, no one cares about it!"

Elder Sun smiled and said, "We've long been used to your ability. It's a surprise when you go out and don't pick up any leaks! It just so happens that you are in charge of the Miscellaneous Department of Porcelain. This time they are all real heavyweights. What's the name of the next session?"

"Emperor's Secret Porcelain! The official kiln made by Kang Yongqian and Qianlong three generations, plus Daoguang's private hall name, this name is well deserved."

"Well, the reputation of Zhongzheng has become more and more famous during this period, and its influence has spread to the whole country. I also know many big collectors. There are so many relics in this special sale, so let's promote it!"

Sun Zhongzheng is very energetic every day. Unexpectedly, when he is about to retire, Zhongzheng will usher in a second spring.While I can still move, help my granddaughter walk for a while, and let her relax in the future.

"Don't worry, I'll find some miscellaneous items from RB. The snuff bottles over there are very cost-effective. Since it's porcelain miscellaneous, it doesn't look good without miscellaneous items."

Wu Tianyuan has seen the preview of the latest auction. There are many snuff bottles and jade wares in several cities, and the prices are very low.In addition, Liu Huasheng acquired a batch from a private collector in Osaka, and later developed snuff bottles and jade wares into one of Zhongzheng's characteristics.

"Give the list to Liu Huasheng. The Liu family has a big business, and you can find a few people to get it done. At that time, Liu Meizi and I will share it, and it will be considered a cooperation. There is no treasure under the mountain at RB for the time being, and the rest are domestic, so we don't need it for the time being." Ran."

Wu Tianyuan has invested in RB, and also owns a broken workshop.Now Zhongzheng has seven or eight new employees, and the Appraisal Department has recruited three senior experts from the Xie family, all of whom have good character and vision.

Wu Tianyuan accepted Liu Meizi as an assistant, responsible for contacting RB, Xu Ming and Zheng Yong also started to work, and with the addition of two new auctioneers, the Porcelain Miscellaneous Department is also considered to be thriving.

"The two auctioneers dug out by Mrs. Xie are also assigned to you, so work hard in the future!"

Sun Yuyao joked with a smile, and said old-fashionedly: "In the future, Zhongzheng and Tianyuan will join forces and strive to become the first-class auction in China! No, to become the first-class auction in the world!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at Sun Yuyao, who was smiling like a flower, and his heart moved. He liked this cheerful and self-reliant girl. She had a rough life experience, but she was constantly striving for self-improvement, which made people feel distressed.

"Okay, I will definitely follow in Mr. Sun's footsteps and work hard together!" The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was said in silence.

In the next few days, Wu Tianyuan mainly sorted out the work of the Miscellaneous Porcelain Department and arranged for the upcoming special auction.Sister Bai's place will be renovated soon and will open next month.The name of the new store is Tianshuang Hotel, and the two shareholders work together.

"Zhongzheng is getting more and more bullish. Look at the imperial secret porcelain, five pieces of heavy official kiln wares from the Qing and Three Dynasties, each of which costs more than ten million."

"I heard that it's Wu Tianyuan's product again, I'm really convinced, that kid really has a life to pick up the leak!"

"Look, isn't that Hu Jianmin?"

Today is Zhongzheng's preview. Wu Tianyuan's imperial secret porcelain has a total of ten pieces, five pieces of official kilns, and a set of tea sets.There is also a special sale of snuff bottles and jade wares temporarily received from RB, and more than 30 exquisite pieces from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. This time he is also the well-deserved head of porcelain miscellaneous.

"It's a good thing I don't play with porcelain, otherwise the half a year's profit from these few items would be in vain!"

Hu Jianmin said with a little fear that porcelain is the most expensive, and calligraphy and painting are only liked by the Chinese. After all, there are oil paintings in the West.But porcelain is a hard currency all over the world. Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are more expensive than gold.The profit of one year's work is more than half of Ru Kiln.

"Old man, I can only watch it for fun!"

Elder Song also sighed for a while, and asked curiously: "What are you doing with all your money now, kid?"

"How much money do I have now?" Wu Tianyuan said dissatisfiedly: "I like Song Ci, even if I sell all my belongings, there is not enough for one piece! Naturally, the more money the better."

The two of them looked at Wu Tianyuan's appearance as a money fan, and laughed, Wu Tianyuan suddenly saw a familiar face appearing in the preview.
