Chapter 1,199 An opportunity to gain fame and reputation

.

Looking at the thirty dazzling azure items in front of him, Du Changfeng fell into a deep silence.

Wei Lan didn't think that much, but she was stunned by the beautiful situation in front of her. She asked almost subconsciously: "If this is really the Chai Kiln porcelain that you said has never been handed down, how much is it worth?" Du

Xiaoyu had already started to take out her mobile phone and search the Internet. Unfortunately, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no porcelain from the firewood kiln has appeared, not even a piece of broken porcelain has appeared, so it can be searched on the Internet.

The information is quite limited. But even so, Du Xiaoyu still found out the information that Cheng Yu had also found out before, that is, during the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai's housekeeper once exchanged a house and twenty acres of fertile land for a piece of porcelain from a firewood kiln.

.Du Xiaoyu and Cheng

Yu also didn't know the price of a house and twenty acres of fertile land in that era, but it also didn't prevent Du Xiaoyu from roughly understanding the fact that once firewood kiln porcelain came out, it would definitely create sky-high prices. Seeing that no one spoke in the warehouse, Du Xiaoyu asked

He described this incident and said: "Guo Baochang himself is a great collector and an ancient porcelain expert. He has collected countless collections in his life. He once said that he would donate his life's collection to the country after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In fact, he did so.

Although he did not personally donate those collections, but after his death, in the second year after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, his children donated them to the Palace Museum, with a total of more than 400 pieces. However,

On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the fine pieces of this batch of porcelain were shipped to Taiwan, and the Chai Kiln porcelain was also included in the donation catalog of this batch of porcelain. However, it cannot be found online.

As for the final whereabouts of this Chai Kiln porcelain, it is obvious that the National Palace Museum in Taipei does not have this piece of collection. Either it was secretly taken away, or it was damaged in transit."

Wei Lan was confused after hearing this, and asked impatiently: "How much is it worth?"

Du Changfeng sighed slightly and said: "This is not a matter of money. If this batch of porcelain is proved to be really produced by a wood kiln, it will be a priceless treasure and a valuable item of the country."

"No matter how heavy the weapon is, it must have a value. Don't talk to me about the priceless treasure. The priceless treasure requires you to exchange all the shares of the Du family. Will you exchange it?"

Facing Wei Lan, who was obviously unhappy, Du Changfeng could only give up in frustration even if he wanted to explain something. There is still a big difference between men and women in the way of thinking about this kind of thing. However, Du Xiaoyu said

: "At least Guo Baochang gave a price, but I don't know the specific year when he purchased this porcelain, but since it was said to be during the Republic of China, it was at least one or two years before his death. I heard that the collection

There is a saying in the world that prosperous times play with gold in troubled times. In other words, in times of war and chaos, gold is the only way to maintain its value, and the price of antique collections, etc. will be much lower than in the peaceful and prosperous times. After the establishment of the Republic of China,

Later, Guo Baochang should have been living in the imperial capital. The so-called house was most likely a courtyard house in the second ring road, plus 20 acres of fertile land outside the city. Compared to now, that would cost hundreds of millions." Look.

Seeing Wei Lan's dumbfounded look, Cheng Yu said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated. House prices in ancient times were far less outrageous than today, especially in the war years. A courtyard in the imperial capital could be bought for a few hundred taels of silver without even being able to guarantee it. But it's no better than it is now.

At that time, especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there had never been any porcelain from firewood kilns. A few years ago, a chicken pot cup was sold for more than 200 million, even though the price obviously contained too much water and fishiness.

, but if you have to set a price for the porcelain from the Chai Kiln, any one piece would be worth over 100 million yuan. Add these 30 pieces together, at least 30 to 500 million yuan is definitely worth it.”

Even though the Du family is worth hundreds of billions, Wei Lan couldn't help but gasped again when she heard this amount.

"Thirty-five billion?" Obviously, Wei Lan found it unbelievable. Du Changfeng said at the right time: "This is the most conservative estimate. According to me, if this batch of porcelain from the Chai Kiln is really brought to the auction,

Even if taking out thirty pieces at once will greatly affect the transaction price, the total value is over a hundred

100 million won’t be a big problem.”

"The more you talk, the more absurd it is. Why is it tens of billions again?" Wei Lan couldn't believe it. Du Changfeng said worriedly: "But I said, this is the national treasure and the most important weapon of the country. Regardless of this batch of porcelain.

No matter which country it is placed in, the government will probably not allow such a batch of priceless ancient porcelain to be lost among the people and left to the private sector.

People treasure it. But it is probably unrealistic for the country to spend tens of billions to buy this batch of porcelain. Xiaoyu, what are your plans?"

Wei Lan and Du Xiaoyu both focused their attention on Cheng Yu's face. Although this was a question asked by Du Changfeng, it was also a question that had been in their minds for a long time.

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do? Find a suitable opportunity to donate it. I brought you two here tonight because I wanted to discuss with you two how to donate these things.

That's good." "Donate?" Wei Lan's eyes widened and he blurted out in shock. His expression soon became complicated. He seemed to feel a little sorry for Cheng Yu, and he also knew the reason why he was guilty of having a jade. Since it was to make up for it,

Domestic collection of objects with blank history

There are such a large number of pieces, so wanting to keep them for yourself is just a dream. Cheng Yu still had a wry smile on his face, nodded and said: "We can only donate it, we can't negotiate with the country and let them pay for it.

.Even if the country is really willing to buy it, how much is the right amount? Millions and tens of millions are meaningless, no matter how expensive it is

It's impossible for the state to agree to buy it. After all, this is to be bought with taxpayers' money. If the deal is really worth several billions, the people will talk about it and the whole Cheng family will be blamed to death.

"

Wei Lan fell silent. Of course she understood what Cheng Yu said.

However, Du Changfeng said quietly: "It's just that it's not easy to donate these things. For what reason, especially the origin of these things, Xiaoyu, have you thought about what to say?"

"

Du Changfeng stared at Cheng Yu. He estimated that since Cheng Yu called all three of their family over, he must have thought about how to handle this matter.

"It's definitely not possible to tell the truth. I went to Vietnam to dig a basement for no reason. If this spreads out, the Vietnamese government should strongly protest. But there seems to be no other good way."

"You must have a plan, otherwise you wouldn't have called us here so late at night. It wouldn't be just to shock us."

Cheng Yu smiled and arranged to pack all the porcelain back into small boxes and put them back in the cabinet one by one. While arranging them, Cheng Yu said: "That's what I thought. About the arrival of this batch of porcelain.

Of course, I can only say that I paid for it, and it came from Vietnam, but I can’t tell the actual situation.

There are too many coincidences, and there are also unbelievable aspects, and it even involves the political relations between the two countries. There is no need to make up the story too roundly. If it is vague, I guess no one will pursue it. I pay for it out of my own pocket anyway.

The porcelain I bought will be handed over to the relevant national agencies for identification if it is genuine or fake. In short, I donated it for free.

I won’t ask the state for any money. Let’s just say that I participated in an underground auction in Vietnam. I originally wanted to get some collections, but unexpectedly came across a piece of wood kiln porcelain. Of course, at that auction, there was no

No one believes that this is a real firewood kiln. After all, who

I have never seen the real thing, so even if the starting price is not high, no one is willing to bid. I found the owner of the lot afterwards, and after analyzing the pros and cons, the other party also understood that unless he took all the porcelain in his hand,

Come out, otherwise no one would believe that this is real wood kiln porcelain. But if he really takes it all out at once, it will not be accepted by an underground auction. Moreover, no matter where he takes out these porcelains,

It is impossible for the government of that country to just watch him profit from these porcelains.

. By then the situation would definitely be out of control, at least not something that a person of his status could control. The entire negotiation process was quite long and difficult, and the man took that piece of porcelain to several underground auctions.

, without exception, all were the result of failed auctions, so he became discouraged and began to re-examine these batches of porcelain that even he himself was not sure whether it was really from the wood kiln. I have been keeping in contact with this person.

, after discovering that he had loosened his mind, he lobbied several times to make that person understand that if he did not bring out several pieces of porcelain to prove each other, he would still face the result of an unsuccessful sale. Of course, if he was brave enough, he could

Maybe he took that piece of porcelain to a regular auction house like Sotheby's, but he didn't dare, because he obviously had a bad origin for these porcelains, but he never knew how he got them.

Tell me. In short, I finally reached an agreement with him and purchased thirty pieces of wood kiln porcelain from him for a total price of 200 million. The man tried every means to transport this batch of porcelain to the country. How exactly did he transport it?

Yes, I don’t know either

Chu. In short, I made the deal with him in China. Of course, for this purpose, I will open an offshore account and remit 200 million soft sister coins. When the time comes, you will find a way to get the 200 million back to me."

Du Changfeng's face was solemn. While listening, he shook his head from time to time and nodded occasionally. "There are not many holes in your story. Even if there are a few links in the middle that are a bit too vague, since you plan to donate

, as you said, the country will definitely not pursue it. But even so, the country still cannot announce it to the outside world. Once the corresponding country is involved, the seller can be easily found out with the efforts of the country. In fact, there is no such seller.

existence, and the underground auction you mentioned has obviously never

There have been these so-called firewood kiln porcelains, so the truth will be exposed easily. It will definitely cause diplomatic disputes."

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Du Changfeng nodded and said: "Okay, you continue." "As you said, this story cannot be published to the outside world, so you understand this truth, and I believe the country can understand it too. Therefore, we can be responsible for

After consultation with the person receiving this batch of porcelain, we will announce it to the outside world in another way. For example, this batch of porcelain was dug out from the ground of the house you recently purchased. After you bought the yard, you will naturally need to renovate it.

, and then accidentally discovered a basement, and then found this batch of porcelain in the basement. But you deeply understood that this batch of porcelain was an important item of the country, so you never dared to have the slightest idea of ​​taking it for yourself, so you immediately

I contacted Wudong Museum and asked them to appraise these porcelains.

Order and collect.”

Du Changfeng burst out laughing, pointed at Cheng Yu and said, "You're such a young boy, are you trying to trick me?"

"Didn't I give you an opportunity to gain fame and reputation?" "You bought the house for me. I'll leave this opportunity to gain fame to yourself!"
