These disciples of Qiu Wendong also hold some positions in various companies of his, and can earn about three to five thousand yuan a month. In the 1990s, the salary was already considered good.
Originally, some people were a little reluctant to follow Ye Tian to Myanmar, but Ye Tian said one million, which immediately dispelled their grudges. You know, if you get a salary, this million
It's enough to make them earn for decades.
Counting Wu Chen, Ye Tian hired a total of eight people from Qiu Wendong's martial arts school, plus himself, Hu Hongde and Zhou Xiaotian, as well as four foreigners like Malakai. Ye Tian felt that this treasure hunting lineup of 15 people in total
, is enough.
After selecting the people, Ye Tian looked at Qiu Wendong and asked: "Brother Qiu, can you help them go through the passport procedures for traveling to Myanmar within five days? If not, I will find a way?"
It would take more than ten days for a normal person to apply for a passport, but obviously Ye Tian couldn't wait that long. If Qiu Wendong couldn't handle it, he might have to use the connections of Hu Jun or Boss Lei. For them, the process was
A few passports shouldn't be a problem.
"Brother Ye, do you look down on me, Lao Qiu, or what? It's just a few passports. I can get it done the day after tomorrow. It won't delay your business."
Qiu Wendong was very open-minded. Since Ye Tian never mentioned what he was going to do in Myanmar, he also took over the passport matter without asking a word. He patted his chest and took care of the passport matter. After living in the capital for so many years, Qiu Wendong still had this connection.
of.
Moreover, Ye Tian asked him to apply for a passport, making it clear that he owed him this favor. This was what Qiu Wendong valued most. With Ye Tian's favor, he might be able to help a lot in the future.
You know, people like Qiu Wendong always walk between black and white. He may seem majestic on weekdays, but he knows in his heart that if the relevant departments want to deal with him, it is really not much more difficult than slaughtering a chicken.
Therefore, Qiu Wendong has been sparing no effort to make friends with those powerful disciples, thinking that if someone settles accounts with him in the future, those people can help him say a word and save his life.
"Brother Qiu, Ye Tian will be rewarded in the future. Yes, that's it for today. I have a lot of things to do these days. Let's talk again when we get back from Myanmar."
Ye Tian's angry expression was cold and ruthless, but it did not mean that he was incapable of being a good person. With these simple words, Qiu Wendong couldn't help but light up with joy on his face, and he sent Master and Disciple Ye Tian out of the alley.
"Master, I...I..." After the car drove out of the alley, Zhou Xiaotian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it." Ye Tian glanced at Zhou Xiaotian and couldn't help but laugh. This boy's face was still a bit tender.
Zhou Xiaotian mustered up his courage and said, "Master, if you go to Myanmar, can you take me with you?"
After all, Zhou Xiaotian grew up in an ordinary family. Although he has learned some magic and martial arts, he is basically the same as ordinary people. When he heard about the opportunity to go abroad, he immediately felt excited, even if the country he went to was extremely poor.
shit.
"Hey, I didn't say I won't take you with me. Both you and Lao Hu will go." Ye Tian laughed when he heard this. Zhou Xiaotian and Hu Hongde were the people he could trust most. These two people were his big help when they arrived in Myanmar.
"Hey, thank you, Master!" Zhou Xiaotian shouted happily. For people of his age, the outside world is always very desirable, especially since Zhou Xiaotian is not weak in skills now, and he wants to go out and experience it.
.
"Don't be happy so early. You're going to do some hard work this time."
Seeing Zhou Xiaotian's excitement, Ye Tian couldn't help but hit him with words. The master and apprentice drove the car to the alley outside the old house while laughing.
"Xiaotian, what have you been doing these past few days? I haven't seen you all day long?" As soon as he entered the yard, he met Ye Dongping. He was holding a wooden box in both hands and walking outside.
"Dad, didn't I go to make up for my shortfall?" Ye Tian replied with a smile, but when his father's face darkened, he immediately knew that he had made a mistake and said quickly: "Dad, I was joking, don't take it seriously.
ah."
"You brat, why am I serious about you?" Ye Dongping forced a smile and said, "Your aunt is making lunch. Please ask your senior brother to come and eat with you later. I have something to do when I go out."
"Don't bother, Dad, if you have something to do, you can do it after dinner. It will be time to eat in a while."
Ye Dongping wanted to leave, but was held back by Ye Tian. Fearing that the box would fall into his arms, Ye Dongping could only stand still and said angrily: "I made an appointment with someone, just eat outside."
Already."
Ye Tian didn't let go. He stared at the box in his father's arms and asked, "Dad, do you want to sell the object? What price did the other party give?"
He and Ye Dongping have been dependent on each other for more than 20 years. How could Ye Tian not see what his father was doing?
Normally, Ye Tian would not bother with his father's business matters, but after that scam, Ye Tian was afraid that his father would not be able to think about it, so he would not buy the treasures he had collected for more than ten years, even though he did not play with them.
They were antiques, but Ye Tian still knew that there was a lot of room for appreciation in the value of these things.
"It's a worthless thing. It's useless if I keep it. Someone happened to want it, so I gave it to him."
Ye Dongping lowered his head and looked at the ground. He was obviously guilty when he spoke, but he reacted immediately and shouted: "Go ahead and do your business. Why do you care so much about me?"
"Okay, why don't I take a look?"
Ye Tian's right hand flicked on his father's bent elbow. Ye Dongping suddenly felt his arm go limp, and the box he was holding in his arms actually fell to the ground. This surprise was no small matter.
"Hurry up, don't drop it!" Although there are cloth pads and even cotton stuffing in the box, the porcelain inside is a fragile object after all. If it is really broken, Ye Dongping may even be seeking death.
"It can't be broken." Ye Tian stretched out his hand and took the wooden box in his hand. After opening it, a porcelain statue about thirty centimeters long and in the shape of three pillars appeared in front of Ye Tian.
The whole body of the porcelain statue is moon-white in color, and the glaze is thick. Especially the opening of the glaze is very rhythmic, like sparkling water, and the crystal spirit is transparent. The opening is not only smooth, but also small and large, with patterns like eel blood.
Produces stunning crack beauty.
The porcelain statue is gentle and elegant, expressing its inner meaning. It has neither exquisite carvings to impress, nor gorgeous paintings to charm people. With its simple and concise shape, even Ye Tian can tell that it is not ordinary.
"Dad, why do you want to sell this thing? It's easy to want to buy it after selling it, but you can't buy it back!"
Seeing this porcelain statue, Ye Tian's eyes widened instantly. This is the most precious piece of porcelain his father has received after more than ten years of doing this business. When Ye Tian was still in school, Ye Dongping didn't know that
How many times have I shown off in front of him?
This is a piece of porcelain from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. It improved the firing method of Ru porcelain and was specially cast for the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. It is also the only porcelain in history that has not been circulated on the market. It was of royal origin and was unique to the palace.
It is only for royal use.
"Someone else paid eight million, which is already a high price. If you don't sell it, why do you keep it?" When his son saw the item he wanted to sell, Ye Dongping felt a little embarrassed on his face, because he had said it more than once.
, I want to make this porcelain statue from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty an heirloom of the Ye family.
In the art market of the 1990s, except for Tang Sancai, which was very popular abroad, the prices of other porcelain were not very high, generally ranging from 100,000 to one million. The eight million that Ye Dongping said was indeed a sky-high price.
Already.
However, if it hadn't been for what he had caused, Ye Dongping would not have sold this porcelain statue, because the rarity of official kilns in the Song Dynasty was no less than that of porcelain from famous kilns such as Yuan Qinghua and Najunding Ru.
There is also an allusion here. Song Huizong of the Song Dynasty, who only loved admiring calligraphy and painting, and had a very high status in the history of art, was about to be captured by the Jin soldiers. He actually stayed in person at the cost of his own emperor's fate and life.
Destroy the kiln and destroy all the official porcelain in the palace.
After this catastrophe, it can be said that there are almost only a handful of official porcelain works from the Northern Song Dynasty that can be passed down to later generations. Only a few pieces are collected in several major museums in the world. One can imagine how rare their artistic value and collection value are.
When Ye Dongping received this porcelain statue from a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days. He dragged Ye Tian to teach him a lot of knowledge and love about the porcelain of the Song Dynasty.
Beyond words.
It's just that this time he lost all his son's money, and his wife will return to China next month. Ye Dongping had no choice but to think of selling the porcelain statue. Sure enough, as soon as he let the news out, someone started selling it.
A high price of eight million was paid.
"Dad, take it back, we don't need the eight million!"
Seeing that his father was about to sell this rare treasure that he valued more than his life, Ye Tian felt a little sad. He immediately said: "Dad, I got the news about the guy who cheated us of our money. In a few days,
I will go out to look for him tomorrow, don’t worry, I will definitely get the money back, and it will definitely be before my mother comes back!"
The gold matter involved too much, and it also related to some secrets of his senior brother, so Ye Tian didn't want his father to know, so he used the fact that he was deceived before as a shield.
Speaking of being cheated, Ye Tian really made some progress, because Bao Fengling couldn't stand the pain a few days ago, so he called Ye Tian and said that he had some news about Boss Ji. Once confirmed,
, I will contact Ye Tian again soon.
"Really?" Ye Dongping was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. If he hadn't been forced to do so, how could he be willing to sell the porcelain statue that was his lifeblood?
"Of course it's true. Xiao Tian will go with me in a few days. That guy will definitely not be able to escape."
As he spoke, Ye Tian glanced at Zhou Xiaotian, and Zhou Xiaotian quickly said: "Uncle Ye, that's right, Master is going to take action, so just stay at home and listen."
