Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 10 Historical tracing, loss-making business
"Relapse."

Mr. Chen tapped the celadon plum vase in his left hand with the magnifying glass in his right hand and explained: "Re-firing, taking your celadon plum vase as an example, is to use the technology of the Tang Dynasty to imitate the Tang Dynasty in today's era. The porcelain and craftsmanship are restored again, and the porcelain produced is the same as that of the Tang Dynasty."

"This piece of yours is a re-firing process, using the firing technology of the Tang Dynasty."

"But yours should be rare."

Mr. Chen took another look at the body of the celadon plum vase with a magnifying glass and said, "The material used for this celadon plum vase should also be the raw material of the porcelain fired in Yue Kiln in the Tang Dynasty."

"Someone collected fragments of Yue kiln porcelain from the Tang Dynasty and remade them into porcelain clay. This celadon plum vase was refired with this porcelain clay."

"If only there were professionals to do it again."

Mr. Chen looked at Li Huaian.

"If there are professionals who really make this celadon plum vase old, there will be almost no one in the entire antique street outside who can tell that it is an imitation."

"Even I will have to study for a long time before I can find out whether it is true or false."

the end.

Chen Lao said with emotion: "Even if it is placed in a national museum, it can be fake and real. Many researchers have difficulty distinguishing it."

Done.

Place the slim celadon plum vase in your hand on the table again.

Then he took another look.

"This imitation Tang Dynasty celadon plum vase with a narrow mouth is a good teaching sample. Otherwise, I wouldn't have so many words. You young man, don't dislike me as an old guy who talks too much."

Li Huaian quickly said, "How dare you? I'm lucky that Mr. Chen doesn't dislike me. If I can learn something from Mr. Chen, I'd probably be envied by others outside."

"It's nothing, you spent money too." Mr. Chen waved his hand.

Then, he reminded me a few more words.

"Young man, I've told you so much, but I'm not trying to make you take any detours. I don't mean that you have to pretend to be truthful, but you can't do anything illegal either."

"If you want to get your money back on this piece of porcelain, I can find a collector who likes imitations of this kind of re-firing process to give it to you. The price will at least not make you lose money, and you can still make a profit."

For Mr. Chen’s kindness.

Li Huaian did not agree and refused: "Mr. Chen, I don't plan to sell this celadon plum vase. Didn't you just say that this is a good teaching sample?"

"So, I plan to give this celadon plum vase to you as the tuition fee I just paid. Mr. Chen may also use this porcelain to teach his students in the future, right?"

"This won't work." Mr. Chen refused.

So the two began to shirk each other.

Li Huaian said that if Mr. Chen didn't want it, he would throw the celadon plum vase on the spot and would not take it away.

Mr. Chen said that he didn't want it as a gift, and he couldn't take advantage of the young people.

After all, this celadon plum vase was collected with money.

If Li Huaian wants to give it away, he can accept it with money, so he can still consider it.

finally.

Neither of them could convince the other.

There is only a compromise solution.

Li Huaian spent a lot of money to buy this celadon plum vase with a narrow mouth, and Mr. Chen paid a lot of money to buy it.

The issue is.

The price of tens of thousands of dollars that Li Huaian just mentioned was all made up at random by him.

When there is really no other way.

Li Huaian quoted a price of 2 yuan.

that's it.

Li Huaian came to Chen Lao's museum, spent 200 yuan, earned 2 yuan, and learned some knowledge that he usually doesn't know.

the most important is.

Mr. Chen’s personal contact information was added.

Leave the museum.

Li Huaian was not hanging around outside.

Instead, he went straight home.

Home.

Li Huaian took a chair and sat down, looking at the porcelain he had placed on the floor.

As soon as he got home, he took out all the porcelain from the system warehouse.

More than 100 pieces of porcelain.

Brought back from the Tang Dynasty world.

The results now tell him that the porcelain brought back from the Tang Dynasty is not Tang Dynasty porcelain, but all modern imitation handicrafts. If he meets someone who knows the goods, they can only sell them for a few million at most.

is it a lot?
For the average person, that's a lot.

But the difference between a few million and the value Li Huaian had envisioned for these porcelains was huge.

He stared at the porcelain on the floor for a while.

Li Huaian finally thought of something.

So he called out the [All Heavens] system in his mind.

"System, do you have any way to turn these porcelains into real Tang Dynasty porcelains?"

Now, we can only hope for the system.

After all, he won't do anything old.

In addition, when I was in the museum, I promised Mr. Chen many times that he would not do anything illegal, go astray, or try to make fake things.

We can't let him be a person without credit.

As soon as the front foot finished speaking, the back foot forgot.

This is too outrageous.

Anyway.

We have to wait until there is really no other way.

Isn’t there a system now?

Li Huaian still has a way out.

"Ding."

"Master can."

Hearing that the system can turn these more than 100 pieces of porcelain on the ground into real Tang Dynasty porcelain.

Li Huaian immediately stood up from his chair and asked happily: "System, please help me turn this pile of porcelain into real Tang Dynasty porcelain."

Hear orders.

The system starts working.

"Ding, start testing."

"Testing completed."

"It was detected that the owner owned a total of 120 nine pieces of Tang Dynasty porcelain that needed to be traced back."

“Start calculating historical retroactive fees.”

"The total historical tracing cost is: 14 heavenly gold coins."

"I would like to ask the master if he would like to start tracing the history."

The excited Li Huaian was waiting to receive 120 pieces of genuine Tang Dynasty porcelain when he heard a series of mechanical sounds from the system and was stunned.

Historical tracing.

He even needed to pay for the system's gold coins.

The total cost is more than 14.

Li Huaian looked at his system homepage.

System: Heavens.

Owner (Master): Li Huaian.

Sex: Male.

Age: 27 years old.

Skills: None.

Open the world: 1 (Datang World).

Zhutian’s private warehouse: ten cubic meters (live animals cannot be stored temporarily and are permanently guaranteed).

All-Heaven Gold Coins: [-] pieces (Each All-Heaven Gold Coin is cast by the system with absolutely pure gold. The specifications of each All-Heaven Gold Coin are one or two. It can be withdrawn and can be exchanged with real gold. The exchange ratio is is ten to one).

So far, he only has [-] heavenly gold coins.

Li Huaian looked at the number of gold coins he had in the heavens, and then looked at the prices the system wanted to trace the history of 120 nine pieces of porcelain.

More than 14 heavenly gold coins.

"System, how do you charge for this historical tracing?"

"Master, historical tracing is charged on a year-by-year basis. For each year of tracing of a single piece of porcelain, one Heavenly Gold Coin will be charged to calculate the historical tracing fee."

After listening to the explanation of the system.

Li Huaian does the equivalent conversion.

This instantly extinguished his desire to trace history.Even if I just trace the history of a piece of porcelain, I am not interested.

I just did some math in my head.

Historically, the cost of a piece of porcelain requires eleven hundred heavenly gold coins.

Calculated based on the withdrawal specification of one or two gold coins for each heaven.

One tael is fifty grams. (Is this considered popular science? I was recently browsing short videos and saw a video talking about a pound. There were many comments below that didn’t know how many grams a pound is or how many pounds a pound is. There were also many people in the comments who said they were college students.)
One thousand one hundred coins is one thousand, one hundred taels, totaling 100 kilograms. Multiplied by five hundred grams, there are fifty-five kilograms.

Swap at the current gold price.

Withdrawing 2000 heavenly gold coins is worth more than [-] million.

If you think about a real piece of Tang Dynasty porcelain at auction, it would be difficult to fetch more than 2000 million yuan. This is without deducting the auction commission, so it is likely to fail.

Unless Li Huaian was stupid, he would use [-] heavenly gold coins to trace the history of a piece of Tang Dynasty porcelain.

It's not worth it.

If we also consider the exchange ratio between real gold and heavenly gold coins.

This is not just a losing proposition.

It's still a deal that pays off to grandma's house.

To know.

before this.

It's because of this exchange ratio.

Li Huaian has been enduring this and has not withdrawn a single Heavenly Gold Coin to improve his economic situation in the main world.

Because, in his opinion, withdrawing gold coins from the heavens and selling them as gold is a very loss-making behavior no matter how you look at it.

Thus.

Because of the cost of the system's historical tracing of porcelain.

Li Huaian's idea of ​​using porcelain from the Tang Dynasty to improve his economic situation in the main world came to nothing.

Can only find another way.

Fortunately.

When we were in the Tang Dynasty, we had prepared another way.

Li Huaian turned his attention to the table not far away, where there were three pieces of wild Qinnan incense brought back from the Tang Dynasty world.

I want to sell wild water agarwood in exchange for money.

for a while.

Li Huaian didn't know where to find a reliable buyer.

He had no way of knowing people in this area at all.

Hastily shot.

And afraid of being cheated.

No one knows how deep the market for Qinanxiang is.

He only knew that Qinanxiang was very expensive, and the wild one was even more expensive.

but.

Li Huaian thought of Mr. Chen, whom he had just met.

So I quickly picked up my phone and wanted to send Mr. Chen a WeChat message.

Ask Mr. Chen if he knows any collectors who want to collect Qinan Xiang.

After all, antiques, antiques.

The most important thing is a word play.

There are many categories of antiques. In the antique industry, there are also categories involving collecting wood and spices.

only.

Li Huaian just picked up the phone and put it down again.

In fact, he is a bit socially anxious and not very good at communicating with others.

But it's not that he doesn't understand the ways of the world.

I just came back from the museum today. I partly sold and partly gave Mr. Chen a celadon plum vase. I also added Mr. Chen’s personal contact information. Before the day had passed, I asked him for help.

This is a bit too hasty.

thought here.

Li Huaian first suppressed the urge to send Mr. Chen a WeChat message, intending to go and appease his stomach first. He had been busy for such a long time and hadn't eaten yet.

As for selling Qinanxiang, I'm not in a hurry right now. We can wait until tomorrow.

The next morning.

Li Huaian couldn't wait to send a message to Mr. Chen on his mobile phone.

"Mr. Chen, I have something to trouble you about."

"I have a piece of wild water-sinking Qinanxiang that I want to sell, and I would like to ask your help to see if anyone wants to collect it."

Finished sending the voice message.

Li Huaian felt that the voice message was not enough, so he took the smallest piece of Qinanxiang and took a short video and sent it to Mr. Chen to prove the authenticity of what he said, and also for Mr. Chen to take a look at the video first. Chuanqi Nanxiang.

After a few minutes.

Mr. Chen gave a reply.

When Li Huaian saw the content of Mr. Chen's reply, he immediately found a plastic bag and put the smallest piece of Qi Nan incense in it, and rushed to the Hidden Play Museum.

The other two large pieces were placed in the system's private warehouse for storage.

As for why I only brought the smallest piece of chinan.

Because he just wants to sell the smallest piece first.

The other two big ones are being kept for the time being. When I run out of money, I can sell them out depending on the situation.

Besides, he also knows that a rare thing is worth a lot.

If you want to sell agarwood at a high price, you cannot sell three pieces of agarwood together.

Hide and play in the museum.

Li Huaian came yesterday.

Here we go again today.

This time, I was familiar with the road and went directly into Mr. Chen’s studio without any guidance from the staff.

"Elder Chen."

As soon as he opened the door, Li Huaian saw Mr. Chen waiting for him and was not busy at all.

"Xiao Li is here, take a seat quickly."

When Mr. Chen saw Li Huaian coming in, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Then my eyes noticed the plastic bag in Li Huaian's hand, and I thought that it must contain the wild chinan incense I saw on WeChat just now.

So, Mr. Chen spoke.

"Is that the piece of Qinanxiang you are holding in your hand?"

"Bring it to me and see."

Li Huaian handed the plastic bag in his hand to Mr. Chen, and at the same time he found a chair to sit down. After what happened yesterday, the two of them had already socialized, so their behavior was not as restrained as yesterday. Today Relaxed a lot.

Otherwise, Mr. Chen wouldn't have called him Xiao Li when he entered the door just now.

After sitting down, Li Huaian saw that he and Mr. Chen were the only two people in the room, and saw no one else, so he asked: "Mr. Chen, when will the buyer arrive?"

Mr. Chen didn't seem to hear Li Huaian's inquiry. He was concentrating on the piece of wild chinan incense. He was opening the plastic bag and feeling regretful at the same time.

"You say you are so reckless. Yesterday you wrapped a fake Tang celadon plum vase in waste paper. Today, you put this rare piece of wild water agarwood in a plastic bag. Why do you want to use it? Wrap it in a velvet cloth and put it in the box before taking it out. What a pity if it gets damaged along the way."

"Old Chen?"

Seeing that Mr. Chen didn't hear, Li Huaian asked again.

Mr. Chen raised his head, looked at the time on the wall, and said, "It should be almost time. You sent me a WeChat message just now, and I helped you find a buyer. Please wait here with peace of mind. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do." I will study this piece of chinensis, and after a while it will be bought, so I won’t have a chance to look at it.”

Then, he looked at Li Huaian and said with a smile: "The buyer who came later is a beautiful little girl. She is also the daughter of a wealthy family with a well-known name in our Donghai Province. She is still single. This girl's father is the same as mine. My friend, I often talk about this girl’s lifelong events in my ears. I’ll see you later, and you two young people can have a good chat.”

I heard the buyer will be here soon.

Li Huaian could only wait patiently.

As for the last words Mr. Chen said, he turned a deaf ear and didn't take them to heart at all. Now he just wants to make money, make money, make money.

Chen Lai didn't pay much attention to it. The young man's thoughts were not something he, an older man, could decide. The reason why he mentioned it was simply because he thought Li Huaian was a good young man.

For Mr. Chen, getting a wife is not as comfortable as archaeology.

Now he just wants to study the piece of chinan in his hand, put it under his nose and smell it.

"It's really wild chinan, this smell."

After half an hour.

The studio door was pushed open.

A beautiful woman with long hair in a dress and professional attire walked in.
-
The Seventh Day of Fighting on the Street: Fighting on the Street is originally called Fighting on the Street. I am here to seek Zhuidu. Whether I can survive now depends entirely on Zhuidu.

As for the water problem, I will try my best to correct it. The main reason is that I haven’t written for a long time and I am a little unaccustomed to the current rhythm. I will try my best to adjust it and hope that the big guys will give me a chance to follow up.
