..."Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask, how did you get so many porcelains in your home? ...Of course, if it is inconvenient, even if I didn't say it!" Liu Dong said.
Hearing this, Zhao Liangyou hesitated for a while before sighing, "Actually, more than 20 years have passed, so there is nothing more that can't be said!" After a pause, Zhao Liangyou continued with a hint of complexity,
"Actually, my father was the captain of the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution, and these things were copied from his house when he ransacked them!"
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Liu Dong's face!
The Cultural Revolution period was the most chaotic period for the country after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In particular, the "Destroying the Four Olds" campaign led to the destruction of a large number of cultural monuments and historical relics. In addition, intellectuals at that time were called "stinky old men"
Nine', and the real antique collectors are undoubtedly one of these "stinky old nine". After their homes were ransacked, the things they found out from their homes are called "raid materials". Now there are at least some of them in the Palace Museum and museums everywhere.
Half of the collection was obtained this way!
To compare with a simple number, in the late 1990s, when calligraphy and painting appraisers such as Xie Zhiliu, Qi Gong, Xu Bangda and others launched a national calligraphy and painting appraisal work under the organization of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the major museums across the country
There are 61,000 ancient paintings and calligraphy! However, during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the collection of paintings and calligraphy in the Royal Inner Courtyard of the Forbidden City was only about 10,000 pieces at its peak! Not to mention that during this period, the country also experienced a hundred years of turmoil and cultural catastrophe!
"Mr. Zhao, since they were confiscated from homes, but there are so many porcelains, and they all come with deposits, you haven't thought that they might be antiques?" Liu Dong asked again.
"To be honest, Mr. Liu. My father passed away five years ago and I inherited this house. When I found so many porcelains, I was suspicious. I also picked a few pieces and took them to the antique street for appraisal, but they said
They are all things after the founding of the People's Republic of China. During the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country made them based on the collections in the Forbidden City. They were exported to Southeast Asia in exchange for foreign exchange! They only paid 20 cents for each piece!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Liangyou showed a look of regret on his face, "I thought that instead of selling it for a cent, I might as well keep it for myself. It happened to be that my own small restaurant was opening at that time, so I took some! ...
...To this day, I don’t dream about antiques anymore! Besides, with so many porcelains put together, how could they be antiques? Besides, except for my dad who liked porcelain and tinkered with it for a while in his early years, three generations of our family have never understood it.
This! Later, after my dad retired from the bicycle factory, he only wanted to travel around the world. All these porcelains were sealed under the bed and never touched again!"
"Traveling in the mountains and rivers? Your Majesty is really in a good mood!" Liu Dong smiled thoughtfully.
"Anyway, we don't know how he can climb mountains so well. If he hadn't been running out every day, he wouldn't have fallen off the mountain...!" Although Zhao Liangyou didn't finish his words, from the sad look on his face, Liu Dong still knew
I guessed the result later.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Liangyou asked again: "By the way, Mr. Liu, why did you buy so much porcelain?"
"Oh, I just opened a new company, and I wanted to buy some better porcelain for display. Unfortunately, I went shopping in dozens of stores on the antique street in the past few days and didn't find anything suitable. Until I happened to be in your store last night.
We met by chance and fell in love immediately!" Liu Dong casually found an excuse to pass by.
"So that's it!" Judging from Liu Dong's clothes and the fact that he had a female secretary who looked like a fairy by his side, Zhao Liangyou didn't doubt his statement.
"By the way, Mr. Zhao! I don't want to open these twenty boxes one by one. It's too troublesome! Let me give you 50,000 yuan, and I will have these porcelain and these boxes moved away together!
What do you think?" Liu Dong said proudly.
"Fifty thousand?" This result obviously made Zhao Liangyou a little overjoyed.
"Okay, okay...! Mr. Liu, just fifty thousand!" Zhao Liangyou quickly agreed.
"Mr. Liu, you are so generous...!"
Listening to Zhao Liangyou's compliments, Liu Dong smiled lightly and said, "By the way, Mr. Zhao, the bedside cabinet in the bedroom was quite nice. Can you give it to me?"
"Bulk cabinet?" After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Liangyou immediately thought of the bulky furniture that had been placed beside the bed and used as a desk when his father was alive!
"Of course, no problem. Since Mr. Liu likes it, I will give it to Mr. Liu!" Zhao Liangyou said boldly.
Compared with the huge sum of 50,000 yuan that has been received, an old piece of furniture that has been kept at home for decades and is too heavy to throw away is really not worth mentioning!
After the two reached the terms of the deal, and Liu Dong also paid 50,000 yuan in cash, he immediately asked Lin Ling to call the company's security department, hired a dozen security guards, and then got a medium-sized truck to put the boxes and bulkhead cabinets together.
After moving it to the car, he took it to his villa.
Because the box and the bulkhead cupboard had not been cleaned for more than five years and were covered with dust and dirt, Liu Dong first placed them in the courtyard in front of the villa and scrubbed them clean before moving them to his study on the second floor!
Each person was given 100 yuan, and after sending the security guard back to the company, Liu Dong took Lin Ling to the study room on the second floor.
"Close the door!" Liu Dong ordered.
"Boss, why did you buy so many porcelains? Are they all antiques?" Lin Ling asked in surprise.
"You forgot again, don't call me boss in private!" Liu Dong emphasized.
Hearing this, Lin Ling pouted, but did not refute again.
Seeing this, after nodding with satisfaction, Liu Dong looked at the wooden boxes stacked two by two with hot eyes and said: "Although not all of them are antiques, most of them are!"
With that said, Liu Dong took off his coat, leaving only his shirt. Liu Dong rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and said, "Lin Ling, go get a notebook. I told you to record it!"
"Oh!" After nodding in agreement, Lin Ling quickly took out pen and paper from her bag and got ready.
At this time, Liu Dong also passed a box and began to count the porcelain inside.
"A pastel flowerpot with phoenix peony and phoenix from the Guangxu period in the Qing Dynasty, a pair of enamel enamel flower pots from the Qianlong period in the Republic of China, and a pair of light green pastel enamel wall vases inscribed with imperial poems from the Qianlong period in the Qing Dynasty...!" When talking about this,
Liu Dong's tone was obviously a bit urgent, and it was obvious that he was excited!
Because the market price of this pair of pastel bottles with poems inscribed by Emperor Qianlong is close to 1.5 million!
After following Liu Dong for nearly half a year, Lin Ling had never seen the little boss be as happy as he was today. Almost every three or four minutes, Lin Ling could feel the uncontrollable excitement in Liu Dong's tone, just like an ordinary
It was like winning a five million grand prize, but what surprised Lin Ling the most was the situation in front of her. When she put down her pen and looked up, sure enough, the little boss was holding a large porcelain jar with a silly smile on his face.
Got it!
I have seen many times that the young boss is usually mature, steady, serious, and looks like a social elite and successful person. Now seeing him look as childish as a child getting his beloved candy, Lin Ling still thinks Liu Dong is quite cute at this moment.
At this time, Liu Dong became more real and approachable in her heart!
Of course, Liu Dong didn't care about what Lin Ling was thinking at this moment. At this moment, his heart was filled with extreme excitement and excitement. If Liu Dong was just happy with the original porcelain from the official kilns of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, then what is happening in front of him
The blue and white "Taoyuan Three Brothers" character pattern large jar from Yuan Dynasty almost made Liu Dong crazy with excitement!
This is the famous Yuan blue and white vase with figures. There are less than ten pieces in the world, and it is even rarer than the imperial kiln enamels from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty!
Before, Liu Dong never imagined that he could find such a priceless national treasure among these porcelains!
After looking at the piece of porcelain up and down for ten minutes, Liu Dong had no choice but to place it in a specially reserved place next to it after repeated reminders from Lin Ling. And in this place, there were also
Several other pieces of porcelain: a pair of crystal clear, white small cups with several chickens on the outer wall; and a light yellow enamel gourd vase! Yes, they are the Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken worth more than ten million
'Crock Cup', and 'Qing Qianlong Wanshou Continuous Enamel Gourd Vase'!
Among the twelve boxes that Liu Dong has looked at, these four are the most precious, each worth tens of millions, or even tens of millions, of national treasures and porcelain!
When Liu Dong put away the Yuan blue and white flowers and opened the next wooden box again, he was stunned by what was inside! Because what appeared in front of him was not the porcelain he imagined, but drums, flutes, and string instruments.
After carefully taking out the pottery figurines that emitted a rich red aura, the last pottery figurine, nearly fifty centimeters tall, laughing and making a drum-like shape, appeared completely.
In front of Liu Dong.
Seeing this pottery figurine, Liu Dong had the same silly smile that Lin Ling saw just now!
Because this tall rap figurine is typical of the Han Dynasty, and it is from the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are now less than five Eastern Han rap figurines in the country, which is more precious than the Yuan blue and white figure jars. Basically, every Eastern Han Dynasty unearthed one
The rap figurines are all national treasures!
In addition to this most precious Eastern Han Dynasty rap figurine, Liu Dong also brought out more than 20 other large and small pottery figurines from the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Each one is priceless!
Liu Dong and Lin Ling cleaned up the porcelain and pottery one by one. They came back at 11 o'clock in the morning and were busy until 5:30 in the afternoon. Neither of them had much lunch!
But the results are also brilliant!
