After driving the car into his garage, Li Yang immediately jumped out of the car. Everything in front of him gave him a sense of intimacy.
In particular, the pile of stone gambling materials in front of him made Li Yang even more excited. These were the stone gambling materials that Li Yang bid back from the public market, and there were many good jadeite among them. The jadeite extracted from these stone gambling alone
It almost allows Li Yang to buy two pieces of the same Yuan blue and white.
Li Yang looked at the pile of wool in front of him with satisfaction, while Liu Gang ran to the side to make a phone call.
After a while, Liu Gang ran over again and said to Li Yang: "Brother Li, the old man asked us to go over. You can stay here later and I will find someone to help you clean it up. When it is done, come back and stay!"
"Okay, let's go to the old man's place for dinner today!"
Li Yang nodded immediately. He also wanted to see Mr. He as soon as possible. This time he went to Hong Kong to help the old man with something. The matter was successfully completed. The young man's temperament made him eager to go and take credit as soon as possible.
After entering the courtyard, Li Yang walked directly to the living room. Now it was as easy for Li Yang to enter Mr. He's house as it was to enter his own home.
Mr. He was sitting on the sofa at this time, with two pieces of blue and white porcelain placed in front of him. They were the Yuan blue and white and Wanli blue and white vats that Li Yang brought back from Hong Kong.
"Old man, I'm back!"
Li Yang walked over quickly. The old man sat up straight and looked at Li Yang with a smile, his eyes full of love.
"Hey, old man, you only asked me to buy one thing, and I brought back two. How about it? Isn't it awesome?"
Li Yang naturally sat next to the old man, with a proud face on his face. It was not easy to pick up this Wanli vat. If Li Yang hadn't had an incomparable dating ability, he would probably have fought with Mao Lao and the others.
Just like this, I just passed by this precious artifact.
“Not bad, very good!”
Mr. He chuckled and nodded, saying the word "very" twice, and the smile on his face became wider. It can be seen that Mr. He was really satisfied.
"Do you know the origin of this Wanli vat?" Mr. He asked again.
"I know that this is the last batch of Wanli porcelain, and it is also a batch of isolated porcelain that has problems with firing. There are currently very few in existence. There are only three of them found in the world including this one.
!”
Mr. He nodded silently and said with a smile: "Yes, you are right. Before I discovered your Wanli vat, there were only two such orphan vessels. Those two were a pair of large vases with branches. Currently, there is only one such vase.
One piece is in the British Museum in London, England, and the other one is treasured in our Palace Museum!"
"The other two pieces are a pair. Are they still in the museum?"
Li Yang stared wide-eyed. He had previously known that there were two other pieces of porcelain from the same period, but he didn't know which two they were, let alone that the other two were actually a pair.
The meaning of a pair of porcelain is even more different than that of a single porcelain. Especially for such large porcelain, it is quite difficult to completely preserve a pair. If these pairs of vases were not both preserved in museums, they would not be available on the market.
If it is put into circulation, the price together will definitely be sky-high. If it is put on auction, it will not be cheaper than the Yuan blue and white piece that Li Yang took.
"Yes, the piece in the National Palace Museum was donated by Huang De from Hong Kong. You should have met him in Hong Kong this time!"
Mr. He chuckled, and Li Yang was stunned again. He did not expect Mr. Huang from Hong Kong to have such an orphan artifact before. No wonder he could see the origin of the blue and white vat at a glance.
"Old man, what are you telling me about this?"
Li Yang asked suddenly. Based on his understanding of Mr. He, he knew that the old man would not say some inexplicable things for no reason. Since he said it, there must be his intention.
"There is indeed something going on. You should know that Director Huang of the Palace Museum called me and said he wanted to see this piece of porcelain!"
Mr. He chuckled and nodded. Li Yang's face suddenly stiffened, and he immediately looked at Mr. He warily and said: "Old man, you also know that I am very poor, and I have not been in the antique world for a long time. There are only a few pieces in total.
I have no intention of donating the *** product!"
"You kid are still talking about being poor? There are still rich people, and who told you to donate it?" Mr. He immediately laughed loudly, shaking his head while laughing: "You collected this thing openly.
What you do with your return is your business, no one can force you!"
"That's good, old man, you didn't explain clearly, I thought you wanted me to donate it to the museum!"
Li Yang breathed a long sigh of relief. The old man first told the origins of the other two pieces of porcelain from the same period, and then told Li Yang that one was donated to the museum by others. It would be strange for Li Yang not to think about it.
Mr. He shook his head and said: "Personally, I don't agree with collecting everything into museums. It is true that more people can watch and learn in that way, but it loses the meaning of cultural circulation. From then on,
In the long run, this is not worth the loss. Museums should focus on exhibiting representative cultures of each period, rather than blindly including all the good things!"
Li Yang stared with big eyes and asked carefully: "Old man, do you really think so?"
Among the older generation, there are very few people who think like He Lao. Most of them are unwilling to see these real works of art turned into commodities for circulation. Only Mao Lao, who is in his sixties, has the same idea. He Lao
Li Yang was surprised that he could always say these words.
"Do you think I'm deliberately lying to you?" Mr. He stared and said with a smile: "I think so, but it doesn't mean that everyone else is the same as me. Also, Dean Huang sent it this time
There are two invitations to the exchange meeting. I’m afraid I don’t have time to go. As for you, you’d better go and participate!”
Mr. He took out two invitations from behind the sofa and handed one of them to Li Yang.
These two invitations were very delicately made. Li Yang opened one in confusion and immediately saw his name written on the top. This was really an invitation for him.
"China Ancient Culture and Artwork Exchange Meeting?"
Li Yang raised his head in confusion. The invitation was to invite him to attend the 7th Chinese Ancient Culture and Artwork Exchange Conference held in *** in August. This was the first time Li Yang had heard this name, but he had never heard of it.
It can be seen from the name that this exchange meeting has a lot to do with antiques.
"This exchange meeting is actually a gathering in the domestic antique industry. It has existed before, but it has no fixed time and no name. It became formalized a few years ago and finally got such a name!"
Mr. He slowly explained and added: "The number of participants in each Chinese ancient culture and art exchange meeting will not exceed one hundred people. These people are the best antique experts and appraisers from all over the country.
, people without a certain level will not receive this kind of invitation. The fact that you can receive it proves that everyone has recognized you!"
After Mr. He explained this, Li Yang finally understood that this so-called exchange meeting was a big gathering of the top antique experts in the country.
Mr. He shook his head gently. Only someone like Li Yang, who had been exposed to antiques for a short time, could not understand the significance of this exchange meeting.
In terms of impact, this exchange meeting is the largest and most influential antique exchange meeting in the country. Only a hundred invitations are sent out for each session. Antique experts from many places are fighting for one invitation, but they can't get their wish.
There are not many people.
Those who can get invitations are basically the most influential people in various places. These people either hold the title of expert in the Palace Museum, are members of the National Association, or are top experts from major auction companies.
Only Liu Xuesong in Mingyang had the honor to attend once a few years ago, and he has never been invited again. Li Yang was lucky enough to get an invitation. If it weren't for the fact that he had an extraordinary talent in ancient jade, no one else could.
With his strength and potential, even if he is Mr. He's disciple, he will not be invited.
If anyone else had received such an invitation, they would have screamed with joy. Only people like Li Yang who don’t understand the meaning of such exchange meetings would not care. But having said that, those who can survive to participate in such an exchange meeting
Among the experts at the top exchange conference, none of them have been famous for many years. Li Yang is a unique example who received invitations as soon as he entered the antique business.
After Mr. He slowly explained, Li Yang thoroughly understood this exchange meeting. After learning that most of the top and senior experts in the country would gather together, Li Yang immediately became very interested in this exchange meeting.
"Old man, I will attend this exchange meeting at that time, why don't you go?" As soon as He Laogang finished explaining, Li Yang immediately nodded excitedly. Being able to gather with the top experts in the country, not only can
Let Li Yang get to know more seniors and gain a lot of knowledge.
"I have other things to do, so I won't go this time. But if you go, you should bring something good. Everyone will bring one or two good souvenirs to every exchange meeting.
, appreciate and discuss each other, and exchange them if necessary. Every year, many people exchange them for treasures they have wanted for many years from others!"
Li Yang was stunned again and asked hurriedly: "Bring something, you don't want me to bring this Wanli vat, do you?"
Mr. He shook his head with a smile and said: "It's up to you to decide what to bring, but Dean Huang means that you can bring this Wanli vat. After all, such an orphan artifact is very rare in China. If you take it, you will definitely
It is an important tool that everyone will envy, and it can also increase your own influence among your colleagues!"
"Did Dean Huang ask for it? Why does Dean Huang keep staring at my Wanli vat? Old man, does he have any other purpose?"
Li Yang asked suspiciously. Ever since he told me that Dean Huang wanted to see his big vat, Li Yang had felt something was wrong. Now this feeling is even more obvious.
"Haha, you are thinking too much. If you don't want to bring this Wanli vat, that's fine, but you must choose a good treasure that you can really get your hands on. You are the youngest expert at this exchange meeting. I guess
There are a lot of people staring at you!"
Mr. He laughed loudly and shook his head vigorously. Li Yang glanced at the old man suspiciously, scratched his head, looked at the Wanli vat again, and finally nodded.
