Chapter 601 Sweet white glaze dark engraved dragon pattern multicolored plate
"Xiao Han, Brother Li didn't offend you, did he? You can't come to my door and not come in to take a look?" Li Ran knew how to speak, and directly blocked Han Peacock's escape.
When Liu Xu saw that Han Kongque would be unable to get away for a while, she said, "I'm going to leave now. You can find a place to eat later, and go about your business after eating! Don't forget to pick us up from the hospital in the evening."
Han Kongque had no choice but to let Huangshan and the others escort Liu Xu away, while he took Han Xing and several others into Li Ran's shop.
At this time, the store was already empty, and all the porcelain that was originally placed here was moved outside and sold at a reduced price.
"What's going on?" The first thing Han Kongque saw when he entered was Ye Hui. He was sitting on a master's chair drinking tea with a few people in front of him.
"Master, why are you here? Li Mazi, are you looking for my master to intercede? You said you have a good relationship with my master, can I force you to pay back the money now? I will pay you back in a month, I am not in a hurry." Ye Hui looked at it.
Han Peacock started to laugh.
Li Ran smiled bitterly and said: "You are not in a hurry, I am. If I sell this store in a month, I may not be able to pay you back."
Han Kongque knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. Li Ran must be in a hurry to buy something and went to borrow money from Ye Hui.
"Ye Hui, you don't have a bad heart, do you?" Han Peacock has no prejudice against loan sharks. After all, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Since you have borrowed money, you must be mentally prepared.
Ye Hui smiled and said: "The interest is not high, only three million, three thousandths of an interest."
"The donkey is rolling?" Han Peacock asked.
Ye Hui said: "There is no way, Brother Li just borrowed it for a day. This has been delayed for a week, we can only follow the rules."
Only borrow for one day. The interest rate of three thousandths is indeed not high. If you borrow three million, the interest per day is only 9,000. There is no problem at all in emergency situations. But now that it has been delayed for a week, things will become more troublesome.
The interest earned every day will be rolled into the principal of the next day, adding an interest of RMB 60,000 to 70,000 in seven days. Most people cannot afford to pay back such interest.
Li Ran naturally knew Ye Hui's rules, so he wanted to sell the things as soon as possible. It would be really painful if a Ming Yongle sweet white glaze multicolored plate with dark engraved dragon patterns that he bought for 3 million fell into his hands.
force.
"Xiao Han, you must help me." Li Ran looked at Han Peacock.
Han Kongque smiled bitterly: "Since others have questions, they probably have problems. How can I help?"
Li Ran said cruelly: "You can make an appraisal with confidence. If there is really a problem, I will find another way. At the worst, I will sell this small building. The Four Arts Museum sold for 15 million, but I can't sell this one for 20 million."
question."
Han Peacock was speechless. What else could he say?
After walking up to the second floor, several old men were wandering around a plate in the living room.
The plate is indeed very beautiful, with a thin base, a skimmed lip, and a circled foot. The bottom of the plate has the inscription "Yongle Year Made" on it.
The plate is old-fashioned and horizontal, the glaze juice is crystal clear, the glaze surface is smooth, and the color is white with green flashes.
The inner surface of the plate is plain, and the outer wall is decorated with two symmetrical and dynamic five-clawed dragons. The dragon pattern is exposed and delicately carved, a bit like the Ming Dynasty.
Year mark, dragon pattern, white glaze, and five colors, any combination of these two can fetch a sky-high price, let alone all four, especially Yongle's white glaze, which is even more expensive.
White glazed porcelain first appeared in the Northern Dynasties and matured in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
During the Yongle period, white glazed porcelain reached its peak, and its production technology became increasingly perfect.
The utensils of this period have light and thin bodies, finely processed glazes, extremely low iron content, and are white with a hint of gray. They often show a "sweet" feeling, so they are called "sweet white".
This plate is pure white porcelain, as warm and moist as jade. Because it is similar in color to white sugar, it is also called "sweet white glaze".
The sweet white glaze of Yongle Dynasty is a rare variety among Ming Dynasty porcelains.
The fetal bones of this disc are extremely thin and the glaze is smooth. Under strong light, the inner and outer surfaces of the disc center show different patterns.
One side is decorated with floral and leaf patterns within a double circle, and within the pattern is a single circle of seal characters with the words "Yongle Year System".
One side is decorated with dragon patterns, and the whole body is covered with hidden dragon patterns.
The patterns are vague, the carvings are coherent, and the shape is extremely vivid. It is a miraculous workmanship that is amazing. It can be called the pinnacle of porcelain art.
Such a fine product is now controversial, and the problem lies mainly in the dragon pattern.
"Xiao Han, what do you think?" Ming Chenghai had played against Han Kongque once and already had basic trust in Han Kongque, so he asked him first.
And he, Zhang Weilun and Li Cheng had already discussed it and had a preliminary agreement.
Han Kongque said: "There is definitely something wrong with the plate, so it's better to listen to the buyer's opinion!"
"We think this is an imitation of the Kangxi Dynasty, so the maximum bid is 1.5 million." said an old man who spoke with a bit of tongue curling and couldn't pronounce words clearly.
Han Kongque glanced at the plate again and nodded to Li Ran, while Qin Dake and the others were silent.
Ming Chenghai said to Han Kongque: "The appraiser hired by the buyer at first could not rule out that it was from the Ming Dynasty. The reason why it was finally determined to be the Kangxi Dynasty was because the outer bottom of the plate was flat; the bottom of the vessel had the words "Yongle" in blue and white regular script.
The writing style of the year mark is also different from that of the Yongle Dynasty, so judging from the overall style of the times it reflects, it must be an imitation of the Kangxi Dynasty."
Han Peacock nodded and said: "The dragon patterns of the Ming and Qing dynasties are quite different in painting. Even in the Kangxi Dynasty, which imitated the Ming Dynasty the best in terms of decoration, its glaze was smooth, crystal-clear and smooth, with green flashes in the white.
, the outer bottom of the plate is flat, showing the characteristics of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the Minglong imitated also has a lot of Kangxi flavor."
Li Chenghe said: "This can be seen from the dragon pattern of Hongzhi or Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. The painting method is quite distinctive. The eyes are wide open and placed on one side, as if there is a pair of glasses on the dragon's head, so it is known as the 'spectacled dragon'
explain.
The Kangxi Dynasty imitated the gourd painting. Although the dragon's hair, whiskers and claws are almost the same, the mouth of the "spectacled dragon" is too detailed, which is beyond the era. In addition, the glasses occupy the head.
The proportion of the body is small, which makes the "spectacled dragon" look specious as a whole.
The scales on the dragon body are not like mesh-like patterns, but more like fish scales. In addition, the difference is also reflected in the unique decorative technique of the white glaze dragon plate in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the dragon body and clouds being exposed, the dragon's whiskers,
The claws, elbow hair and other details, as well as the sea water and river cliffs, are all covered with glaze. However, the dragon body and claws of the Kangxi imitation vessels are all astringent, and there are no hidden patterns around the dragon pattern that should be seen on similar products in the Ming Dynasty.
"
Several top experts in the magic city's antique industry gave accurate appraisals. Li Ran knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he finally set the price at 1.8 million and made the deal.
The agreement was signed and the transfer was quickly completed. Li Ran was single and transferred the money directly to Ye Hui's account. He returned 1.8 million, plus the 1 million already paid back, and now there is still about 30 left.
Li Ran is not in a hurry for this money. Even if the interest increases by three thousandths every day, he can still afford it.
Seeing Li Ran's relieved look, Han Kongque said: "Brother Li, you want to treat me!"
Li Ran smiled uglier than crying: "We have to treat you. Today at noon, the old men and you, Xiao Han, will go to the Red Mansion Restaurant for a big meal."
"Haha, you are still in the mood to have a big meal? The Chinese are hypocritical. I sold it to you for three million before, but now you sold it to me for 1.8 million. Are you still in the mood to have a meal? Don't you think that
Are we all great masters? Where is your glory? Where is your patriotism? I am here to trample your so-called national pride under my feet." As soon as Li Ran finished speaking, another voice that sounded awkward came to mind.
.
"Fukuda Yoshiaki?" Han Peacock looked at the little man walking up the stairs and the exquisite beauty beside him. This beauty should be the puppy who lost to Deng Hui one night, right?
"Chinese people, do you know me? This is better. If the companies of our Empire of Japan are fined for monopoly, how about getting them back from other places? Your national treasures will fall into our hands, right?
We could get it easily before, we can get it now, and of course we can get it in the future.”
Fukuda Yoshiaki groped for the plate in his hand, feeling the delicateness of the plate, and the joy on his face became even stronger.
"Little Japan, it turns out to be you. Are you two Chinese? Are you actually working for Little Japan?" Although Li Ran had a pockmarked face, his image at this time was so tall.
The buyer's appraiser glanced at Li Ran and said, "I'm sorry, I'm Japanese, and my customers are Japanese, so what we do is what a Japanese citizen should do."
"Japanese?" Li Ran was a little dumbfounded.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "They should be Japanese overseas Chinese."
"Traitor." Li Ran said bitterly.
"Traitor? It used to be the Imperial Army, but now it's a Sino-Japanese friendly person. Looking at your angry look, I really can't bear to slap you in the face. No, I should slap all of you in the face." Yoshiaki Fukuda said proudly.
road.
Han Kongque glanced at Ye Hui, stopped his movement, and then said: "You came here specifically to slap these old men in the face, right?"
Looking at Han Kongque's smiling face, Fukuda Jiaming felt something was wrong, but he had been prepared this time, so although he was worried for a while, it was only a moment.
Qin Dake shook his head and said nothing, while Zhang Weilun sighed. Li Chenghe just glanced at Li Ran fiercely, while Li Ran was confused and didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Yan Sigan, you can come up now." Fukuda Jiaming didn't give them a chance to communicate. He turned around and shouted below.
At this time, Yan Sigan, who had sold the jade belt hook of Canglong Jiaozi in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties to Han Kongque for 10,000 yuan, led a rich middle-aged man up.
"Do you know each other?" Li Ran said in surprise.
Fukuda Yoshiaki laughed and said: "These two gentlemen are my subordinates. How about it? Do you know what happened?"
