Peng Laoer glanced at his elder brother and said with a smile: "Yes, Manager Xu, don't be anxious, let us think about it again."
Watching the Haier brothers flirting with each other, as a bystander, I secretly muttered to myself: "Porcelain...? What kind of awesome porcelain is this?"
I was thinking quickly in my mind.
Is it the Ru Kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty?
Southern Song Dynasty official kiln? Yuan blue and white?
Doucai Tianzi jar? Chicken jar cup?
Or Yongxuan blue and white? Or the enamel of Qianlong or Yongzheng.
At that time, the only major categories of precious porcelain were these. The boss and I rarely visited tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so we didn’t see many of this kind of porcelain, but just because we haven’t seen it doesn’t mean I don’t understand it.
I'm not bragging, I'm just saying, if you cover up a piece of blue and white or pastel porcelain, as long as I can see an area as big as a fingernail, I can accurately determine its date.
Drinks and snacks were brought into the private room one after another. At this time, Boss Peng suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Manager Xu, you guys eat and drink first. My second brother and I will go to the bathroom. When we come back, we can continue playing."
After they left, I asked her in a low voice: "What kind of porcelain does Brother Haier have in his hands?"
Miss Xu laughed, glared at me and said, "Don't give people random nicknames. If their brothers hear it, the company's business may be ruined."
I curled my lips and said, "You guys really dare to spend a lot of money. Before anything is decided, you are giving away more than 300,000 yuan for free, including food, drinks and entertainment."
She smiled and flipped her hair, looking very charming.
"The company naturally has its own considerations when it comes to spending money. The current situation is that many powerful people in the country are trying to grab this thing from the Pengcheng brothers. If you don't want to let your children catch the wolf, you will have a higher chance of success if you take care of them first."
She turned to look at me and said: "Xiang Bantou, your nickname is Shenyanfeng. Let me remind you that this porcelain is standing and has more than 32,000 small eyes on its body."
"What the hell?" I was stunned.
I understand what standing means. Insiders say it means standing, specifically the bottle.
If it is a jar, it is said to be squatting, and if it is dishes, it is said to be lying down.
But what does it mean that this bottle has 32,000 eyes?
I frowned in thought.
I patted the table and said, "I know! It's the kind of Yangcai heart-turning vase made by Emperor Qianlong, with bright and hollow hearts on all sides! That kind of bottle is full of eyes!"
Miss Xu took a sip of red wine and smiled: "Congratulations, you guessed wrong."
I thought for a while and then immediately said: "That's Yuan blue and white! There is a very rare hollow and plastic porcelain in the Yuan blue and white bottle!"
She shook her head again and said she was wrong, she was just guessing.
"Then...is that a Southern Song Dynasty shadow celadon hollow porcelain pillow?"
"wrong."
"It's an exquisite hollow porcelain Danshi vase from the Ming Dynasty!"
"It's not right yet."
I thought about it two or three more times, but they were all rejected.
If it was a standing piece of hollowed-out porcelain, there couldn't be anything else. I couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck! What the hell is that!"
"Really want to know?"
My curiosity was piqued, and I thought about it too much.
"Come over here."
"Listen, I...can't tell you."
"OK."
"Then you play with them, and I'll go."
"return!"
She grabbed me and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, but Xiang Boss, this is a company secret. I told you and you have to keep it secret. Currently, no more than ten people in the circle know this news."
I nodded and said yes.
She whispered: "It's a piece of Clark porcelain, that thing..."
"stop!"
"What!"
"Clark porcelain! What you are talking about...is the kind of Clark porcelain that I know??"
"That's right."
I took a deep breath and said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't want to tell me, just tell me. What do you think I am? A fool?"
"Every fool knows that Clark porcelain costs a few hundred dollars at most!"
The so-called Clark porcelain refers to the porcelain exported in the early Qing Dynasty. It is basically blue and white. The craftsmanship can be hollowed or not. It has a huge amount of existence and low economic value, especially in coastal areas. Those from the south can get it easily.
One boat at a time.
She continued: "That Clark bottle is one meter high."
A one-meter-tall bottle? Isn’t that as tall as Xiaoxuan?
I gradually calmed down and said, "It's true that such a big one is rare. I've never heard of it, but even so...it's not worth the effort you put in, right?"
To be honest, even if Clark porcelain is large, it is still exported porcelain. It can only be said that large porcelain is rare of its kind, and its upper limit has been set there.
It's like a plate of cucumbers in a restaurant. Even if you make it delicious, it won't sell for the same size plate of sea cucumbers and abalones.
A Clark bottle as tall as Xiaoxuan can be sold for 200,000 yuan.
"No..." I immediately frowned and said, "Such a big bottle must have been burned not only for decoration, but also to contain something inside??"
"Awesome, you can guess all this, Shenyan Peak is worthy of its name."
"look."
She opened the photo album on her mobile phone and showed me a photo of a blue and white porcelain vase.
This bottle stands in the corner, tall and big.
It has a long neck, a curled mouth, a big belly, and the whole body is made of asphalt blue and white. The hair color is thick and dark blue, and the blue and white pattern should be a traditional painting of a hundred flowers blooming.
The whole circle around the belly of the bottle is hollowed out, and there are densely packed small eyes all around. The belly is a bit like a hornet's nest.
"How about it, Xiang Bituou, do you see the problem?"
I took her cell phone closer and suddenly discovered that the bottle seemed to be filled with something, a lump like fine sand. The picture was not very clear.
"earth?"
"What's in this bottle?"
She took back her phone and said, "Brothers Pengcheng are from Pengcheng. Do you know that there used to be a famous ceramic research institute in Pengcheng?"
I said that I knew that many masters of Cizhou Kiln used to be in that ceramic research institute.
She nodded and said: "Yes, the Ceramics Research Institute was closed in 1992, and many things in the warehouse were returned to the Hebei Provincial Museum. This large Clark-style bottle is a prototype. The people in the institute used it to study how the ancients fired it without deformation.
of."
"However, the most important thing is not this. It is the soil in the bottle. There is at least more than 200 kilograms of Ma Cang soil in it."
"Asakura soil!"
"More than 200 kilograms!"
I was frightened, so I quickly asked: "Is it the macang soil from the Royal Kiln Factory?"
She said of course.
I couldn't help but take a breath.
Macang Mountain near Jingdezhen produces Macang soil, also known as "Makeng old soil". This kind of clay was actually exhausted in the late Yuan Dynasty. It just disappeared and could not be dug.
Later, the Ming Dynasty imperial palace had some inventory, which was used until the Ming Dynasty, and Macang Tu disappeared from history.
In the Qing Dynasty, one tael of soil could be exchanged for 10 taels of gold, which Qianlong and Yongzheng could not find even if they wanted to use it.
You must understand a concept.
The Laokeng Macang clay is not the same as the kaolin clay used in making porcelain today. The difference between the two is just a dime and a million dollars.
I estimate that if there are 200 kilograms of Laokeng Macang soil in the big bottle, it can be converted into at least 400 kilograms of gold!
Gold can be bought with money, but this kind of gold cannot be bought with earthly money. It was no longer available five hundred years ago.
Some people will definitely say: "Only fools want soil! I want gold!"
Only people who don’t understand say that.
People who understand understand the true value of this kind of soil.
The biggest difficulty in counterfeiting is the lack of Ma Cang soil.
If this kind of soil is used in modern times, many porcelains can be imitated, and even powerful experts will not be able to spot them, such as Yuan blue and white, doucai chicken cup, grape pattern Sanqiu cup, and Chenghua seahorse pattern Tianzi jar.
Each of these items easily costs over 100 million.
How many pieces can be burned from 200 kilograms of old maocang soil?
Once this thing falls into the hands of Company J, the consequences can be imagined! I think all domestic museums, as well as a group of masters, experts, and collectors will be fooled!
No wonder their company attaches so much importance to...
I was just thinking wildly when I saw the Haier brothers coming back one after another.
"You two have been waiting for a long time. How about I just drink this wine and see that the hot girl is in the hotel?"
Miss Xu smiled and said, "Already here."
"hehe."
Boss Peng smiled heartily and said with a smile: "Then let's not talk about business today. The two of us brothers will go meet the hot girl from Sichuan and we will fight her for three hundred rounds."
