The old man over there is the current chairman of the Fuji Foundation, Masikawa Yoshisuke. The predecessor of the Fuji Group is the Yasuji Foundation. Among the traditional four major consortiums, the capital of the Yasuji Foundation once ranked first. However, due to the lack of a strong industrial sector
, and later gradually declined. As the successor, the Fuji Foundation actually no longer belongs to the Adachi family.
The private collection exchange meeting was held in a private club called Qiaoying. Most of the people who came here were famous people. Many people stamped their feet, and the whole of Japan was shaken. Therefore, the defense measures here are also very strict.
You can't come in without an invitation.
Yu Fei was only invited and guaranteed by Sumitomo Mitsui, and more than one-third of the members agreed to participate in this private communication.
At this time, Mitsui Saori was quietly introducing him to the people who came to participate in the antique exchange.
That was Taro Aikawa, chairman of the Mitsubishi Foundation. Although the Mitsubishi Foundation was forced to disband after the war and the consortium was divided into three companies, the companies still maintained very close cooperation and established informal organizations such as Mitsubishi Friday
.The Mitsubishi Consortium still focuses on military industry as its main industry.
Yu Fei has heard of the Mitsubishi Consortium. It was Japan's largest arms supplier in the 1920s. The famous Zero fighter jet was produced by the Mitsubishi Consortium. After World War II, the Mitsubishi Consortium remained stubborn and provided aircraft, ships and aircraft to the Self-Defense Forces.
Almost all heavy weapons, including armored vehicles. I heard that among the sponsors of Japan's new textbook that ignores history, Taro Aikawa ranks at the top of the list. Therefore, Yu Fei has no good impression of the Mitsubishi Consortium, including Taro Aikawa.
The one holding the red wine glass and wearing a kimono is Tokugawa Nobutaka, the chairman of the Tokugawa Memorial Foundation. It is worth mentioning that he is also the 18th generation grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Mitsui Saori's words aroused Yu
Fly's attention.
In 1867, Tokugawa Keiki, the last shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, took the initiative to hold a ceremony to return the great power to Emperor Meiji in Nijo Castle. The emperor issued an order to restore the imperial government and abolish the shogunate. Later Keiki faced the difficulties of the imperial court and the rebel faction.
With strict demands and forced to fight, he led 15,000 shogunate troops to attack Kyoto from Osaka and fought a decisive battle against 5,000 government troops. In the end, the shogunate troops were defeated in Toba and Fushimi, and Qingxi had to flee.
Returned to Edo. Finally, he surrendered happily. He handed over Edo and changed the title to Shizuoka. Thirty years later, Emperor Meiji made Tokugawa Iedatsu, the new governor of the Tokugawa family, the Duke. The Tokugawa family continued to be prosperous. From this
From a certain point of view, Japan's change of dynasty is milder than China's.
Speaking of which, my golden treasure and Kato Shiro's Tenmoku porcelain are inextricably linked to the Tokugawa family.
Mitsui-kun. I heard that the Tenmoku porcelain of the ancestor of porcelain will appear in this exchange. I wonder who owns this Tenmoku porcelain now. Taro Aikawa walked to Mitsui Sumitomo and asked. Because private exchanges are held regularly, people usually come.
There were not many people. But this time, there were rumors about the appearance of Tenmoku porcelain made by Kato Shiro, which attracted many big collectors. Of course, if the news came from ordinary people, then everyone would not believe it.
But the person who broke the news was Mitsui Sumitomo, the chairman of the Mitsui Foundation. This makes people disbelief. What kind of identity is Mitsui Sumitomo, how could he talk so freely?
Tianmu porcelain currently belongs to the young man next to my little girl. Mitsui Sumitomo pointed at Yu Fei and said.
Taro Aikawa raised his glass to Yu Fei and smiled slightly. Yu Fei nodded in return, which was regarded as a greeting. Originally, as Taro Aikawa, he would never take the initiative to say hello to a junior, but now he does this
It was all for the sake of the porcelain ancestor Tianmu Ci.
What's the matter? Aikawa-kun is also interested in Tenmoku porcelain. He won't argue with me, Mitsui Sumitomo said.
Taro Aikawa laughed and said: Mitsui-kun has a rich collection. How can it be compared to antiques?
Which one of Aikawa's collections have people taken a fancy to? Speaking of which, since Mitsui-kun has already received the news, why didn't he replace it in advance? I believe that with the vastness of Mitsui-kun's collection, he shouldn't be unable to find anything that the other party is interested in.

Mitsui Sumitomo shook his head helplessly. This was naturally what he had thought before. Once he went to the exchange meeting to bid, everything would be out of control. As Taro Aikawa said, collecting is all about eye contact, even if he
Even if you take out valuable collections, they may not be used. If this young man named Yu Fei doesn't like them, everything will be in vain.
Hello Mr. Yu Fei, I am Suzuki Kyo, and this is my business card. Just as Mitsui Saori was introducing the guests and communication rules to Yu Fei, an old man in his sixties came over and said respectfully,
Hello, my name is Yu Fei. Yu Fei stretched out his hand to shake Suzuki Kyo's hand, and at the same time glanced at Mitsui Saori with some doubts. He didn't know who Suzuki Kyo was. If this was told, I'm afraid Suzuki would
Kyo will feel ashamed. There are actually people in the collecting circle who don’t know him. Suzuki Kyo’s status in the Japanese collecting circle is not as good as that of Higashiyama Kuichi, but it is similar. I heard that Higashiyama Kuichi did not participate this time.
Having offended Mitsui Sumitomo, the main appraisal and host of the collection of this exchange meeting will be replaced by Suzuki Kyo.
Generally speaking, this kind of private exchange organization does not require appraisal and hosting, but this time the matter is too important, so Suzuki Kyo was publicly recommended as the host of this exchange gathering.
Mr. Suzuki is an expert in the study of Chinese painting. He has compiled a five-volume comprehensive catalog of Chinese paintings, including more than 7,000 famous Chinese paintings scattered around the world. Mitsui Saori's introduction made Yu Fei stand in awe.
There are also real collectors in Japan, and Mr. Suzuki Kyo is one of them. They cherish and love Chinese antiques even more than many Chinese collectors.
I would like to take the liberty to ask, where did Mr. Yu Fei get the Tenmu porcelain works of Kato Shiro? Because of the need for communication, Yu Fei has just handed over three pieces of Tianmu porcelain to the organizer. The organizer has also invited many porcelain collectors
Experts conducted an appraisal and determined that these three pieces of porcelain were indeed made by Kato Shiro himself, and even had the rare signature of Kato Shiro on them. Although Suzuki Kyo mainly studied Chinese calligraphy and painting, he also had a lot of research on porcelain.
Oh, I happened to find this in the open-air market in Harajuku. Yu Fei said casually.
It’s really unimaginable that Shiro Kato’s Tenmoku porcelain Suzuki Kyo can be found in the open-air market in Harajuku. It’s a mixed bag of good and bad people. Most big collectors won’t go there at all. They think the quality there is relatively low, but they never expected to find it.
Such precious Tenmoku porcelain was found there, and there were three pieces of it, which made Suzuki Kyo think about finding time to go to the open-air market.
The Harajuku open-air market seems to be a treasure. After Suzuki Kyo left, Mitsui Saori said sarcastically: An open-air market not only contains the Holy Ring of Love from the Tokugawa Shogunate period, but also Kato Shiro's Tenmoku porcelain.
And there were three of them one by one. What was even more bizarre was that Yu Feijun came across all of these things and bought them. These are truly all kinds of wonders in the world.
The implicit meaning of Mitsui Saori's words was naturally to express her distrust of Fei's words. This kid is too lazy, and he doesn't even know how to find a better excuse to lie. How did she know that Yu Fei's classmate, besides the open-air market in Harajuku, other places
I went to all the antique markets in the company of Mitsui Saori. It was impossible to lie to my face, so I had no choice but to move out of the Harajuku Open Air Market.
Yu Fei seemed to hear the sarcasm in Mitsui Saori's words at all, and said happily: This can only mean that I am very lucky. Miss Saori can go to Harajuku next time, maybe she will too.
There is a harvest.
Mitsui Saori shook her head, this person is hopelessly thick-skinned.
Dear collectors and guests. At about 6:30 in the evening, Suzuki Kyo walked up to the temporary stage set up at the front of the cafeteria and said slowly: I believe many people have heard that today will be a big event in our collecting world.
At this grand event, three pieces of Tenmoku porcelain by Kato Shiroemon Keimasa, the founder of porcelain, will appear at the same time. This will fill a major gap in our porcelain industry.
Suzuki Kyo's words immediately aroused a burst of discussion, and some people who didn't know it asked about who was lucky enough to obtain three pieces of Tianmu porcelain from the ancestor of porcelain. There was a commotion at the scene. To be continued...
