Chapter 310: Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin Statue
......... After listening to Uncle Zhong's introduction, Wang Zhang's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly realized it, quickly reached out his hand, and said enthusiastically: "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to own such a big room at such a young age.
Shop, you are really young and promising!"
"Haha, Mr. Wang praised me! I'm just relying on the kindness of my predecessors, it's not an achievement!" In just over two months, Liu Dong's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes, which I have never heard of before.
In terms of the scene, I don’t catch a cold much now.
"Mr. Wang, please, let's talk upstairs!"
"Mr. Liu, please go first!"
Noticing the hint of compliment on Wang Zhang's face, Liu Dong knew it was fake, but he still had to admit in his heart that this man was very capable.
Arriving at the second floor, the two sat down with tea. Wang Zhang couldn't wait to open the package he carried with him, and then took out a statue of Yingqing Guanyin.
"Mr. Wang, can I take a look?" The Guanyin statue in Wang Zhang's hand is indeed very good. At first glance, it is indeed as Uncle Zhong said before. All the characteristics are in line with the characteristics of Yingqing in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but it is new.
It is in very good condition, and there are no traces of artificial ageing.
"Mr. Liu, feel free to look at it!" With that said, Wang Zhang held the Guanyin statue in both hands and handed it to Liu Dong.
Seeing this, Liu Dong did not reach out to pick it up, but smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Wang has not been in the antique shop for a long time!"
Although there was no sarcasm in Liu Dong's words, Wang Zhang also suddenly remembered some of his experiences during this period. His face turned red at that moment. He quickly put the Guanyin statue on the table and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Just like
As Mr. Liu said, I really don’t have much time to go into the antique shop.”
In fact, Wang Zhang is not an expert in the antique industry at all. Naturally, he does not understand the rules of handling antiques, and others think that he is not an expert in the industry, so he tries hard to lower the price. Just the Guanyin in his hand has been sold to Quancheng Antique Shop for ten years.
There are several companies, but none exceeds 50,000 yuan.
This was a big loss, and naturally I gained some rewards. But because I was so anxious to spend money, I just forgot the previous lesson.
But at this time, Liu Dong's eyes were no longer on Mr. Wang.
Holding the statue of Guanyin, Liu Dong did not use the relic Yuanguang when he first came up. He studied porcelain appraisal with Mr. Li for more than two months. Coupled with his almost photographic memory, Liu Dong's porcelain appraisal has reached a very high level now.
level.
At this moment, the Guanyin statue in Liu Dong's hand is slender and about 45 centimeters in height. The Bodhisattva wears a necklace on his head and sits cross-legged with his hands crossed. Sitting on both sides are the dragon girl and the good boy. The Guanyin statue is made of very thin porcelain and has a glaze-like texture.
It is white and green, and when lit from below, the inside and outside are translucent. It is obvious that the porcelain body of the Guanyin statue is very good and the level of firing is very high.
It is undoubtedly the official kiln that can achieve this level of firing. However, there were many firings of celadon such as Yingqing in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and there were also many firings in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It can be said that the firing of Yingqing
The scope is very wide. The value of this piece of porcelain depends on its firing process and its age.
However, this was beyond Liu Dong's appraisal level, so he simply used the relic Yuanguang.
Soon, the Avalokitesvara statue was rich and rose nine feet high, with a hint of red brilliance in the white, showing that this shadow green Guanyin statue was a genuine fine product from the official kilns of the Yuan Dynasty.
Seeing this, Liu Dong has already made up his mind to buy this precious Yuan Dynasty Yingqing porcelain. You must know that there is no Yuan Dynasty official kiln Yingqing porcelain in Mr. Li's treasure house. This is even more rare.
The shape of the device is so huge.
"Mr. Wang, how much do you plan to sell this piece of porcelain?" Liu Dong pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Five hundred thousand!" There was a trace of uncertainty in Wang Zhang's words. At the beginning, he would not sell it unless he had 600,000 yuan. However, after hitting the wall more than a dozen times, Wang Zhang no longer had confidence in selling for 600,000 yuan.
. In addition, his current company is in urgent need of funds, so even if he sells it for 500,000 yuan, he feels that it is worth it.
"Five hundred thousand?" Liu Dong's face showed a hint of surprise. Uncle Zhong told him originally that it was only six hundred thousand.
"If you think it's high, 450,000 is fine, but no matter how low it is, I won't buy it. If the company hadn't been in desperate need of cash, I wouldn't have sold it at this price."
Seeing that Wang Zhang had misunderstood what he meant, Liu Dong did not explain much. The two of them were not related, so if they could get this Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin statue at a lower price, Liu Dong was naturally willing.
In the end, the two bargained, and this precious Yuan Dynasty porcelain was finally sold for 400,000 yuan.
After signing the sales contract, Liu Dong smiled and asked: "Mr. Wang, you are not an expert, so how did you get this porcelain?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhang smiled bitterly, "Speaking of which, I am unlucky. I am in the building materials business. The last time I went to collect a bill from a customer, it turned out that he did not manage well and went bankrupt. As a result, the 600,000 he owed me was gone.
Finally, he used this Guanyin statue to pay off the bill. According to him, it was passed down from his family's ancestors. It was some kind of Yingqing from the Yuan Dynasty, but I didn't understand it. If he hadn't really had no money, I wouldn't have said anything.
Will agree to this deal."
"But fortunately, the result is pretty good. With this 400,000 yuan, it is much better than losing all 600,000 yuan. With this money, my company has enough working capital!"
"Boss Liu, I still have something to do in the company, so I won't keep you any longer!" After getting the money, Wang Zhang was afraid that Liu Dong would regret it later, so he quickly stood up and left.
After Liu Dong asked the waiter to give away the Wang Zhang, he looked at the Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin statue on the table, with a look of joy on his face.
Wang Zhang doesn't understand antique collection, so he doesn't know the value of this Guanyin statue. However, Liu Dong understands in his heart that according to the previous auctions of Chinese porcelain by Christie's, Sotheby's and other auction houses he obtained from Mr. Li,
From the records, we can see that Sotheby's once auctioned such a Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin statue in Hong Kong in 1987. The auction price at that time was HK$3.3 million.
However, the height of the one in Liu Dong's hand is only 45 centimeters, which is much smaller in shape than the 67 centimeter one in Liu Dong's hand.
However, more than ten years have passed now. Taking into account inflation, the Yuan Dynasty Yingqing Guanyin statue in Liu Dong's hands now costs tens of millions. Compared with his efforts, Liu Dong is picking up money again this time.
There was a big leak.
"Master, have you bought the things?" Uncle Zhong asked with a smile while sitting at the counter as Liu Dong carried the Guanyin statue downstairs.
"Well, I've seen it, and it's indeed a good thing from the Yuan Dynasty. I've missed it this time!" After finishing with a smile on his face, Liu Dong continued, "Uncle Zhong, please do your work first. I'll go to the back.
Put this thing away!”
Nodding, looking at Liu Dong's back disappearing around the corner, Uncle Zhong smiled and shook his head. Although he didn't know that Liu Dong's appraisal level was definitely not as good as Mr. Li, but there was such a person who loved antique collecting who inherited Agarwood.
After all, it's a good thing. Liu Dong is a good person, respects him, and is steady. Uncle Zhong is optimistic about his future.
When he came to Mr. Li's original study, Liu Dong did not put the Guanyin statue back into the collection room, but directly put it into his own Mustard Seed Space. In comparison, there is no safer place than the Mustard Seed Space.
Liu Dong had nothing to do next, so he simply took down some books on antique appreciation collected by Mr. Li in the study room and continued reading.
The afternoon passed quickly after that.
At night, Liu Dong was a little surprised but expected to receive a call that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Hello, is this Mr. Liu Dong?" There was some awkward Mandarin on the phone, which made Liu Dong frown. However, the caller ID on the phone had already made him understand the identity of this person.
"Mr. Wichai, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Haha, Mr. Liu, Myanmar and China's Dongshan Province are thousands of miles apart. It took me a lot of time to get this batch of rough stones together before the end of the month."
"Oh, is that right? When I said that, I wrongly blamed Mr. Weichai!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is too polite!" After a pause, he said: "Mr. Liu, there are a lot of rough stones this time. I wonder if Mr. Liu can eat them?"
"How many? How many?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"More than 3,000 pieces of rough stone, according to the price we agreed upon originally, are worth 150 million!".
At the beginning, he saw with his own eyes how Liu Dong took away nearly 300 million in cash from powerful Korean jewelry, so after signing a cooperation agreement with Liu Dong, he immediately transported 150 million worth of jadeite rough.
Come here, if not for time constraints, I believe there will be more.
"One hundred and fifty million? More than 3,000 pieces of rough stone. It's not too much. It's okay!".
One hundred and fifty million is not too much. This is nearly one-half of Liu Dong's cash. Of course, he also knows that Liu Dong has gambled a lot of valuable jade, but he also knows that Liu Dong doesn't have any of these jade.
Sell, so according to his original estimate, 100 million is already close to Liu Dong's bottom line. But now listening to Liu Dong's tone, it is obviously very different from his original estimate.
"So, Mr. Liu wants more rough stones?" he asked excitedly.
"Of course, but I want more, but I couldn't tell clearly on the phone. When will Mr. Wichai arrive?"
"It has been three days since the ship left the magical capital, and it will reach Qingdao in about two days!".
For him, the more raw jade stones Liu Dong buys, the more money he makes. Why wouldn't he be willing to do this kind of business! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
