From Signing In To Dominate The World

Chapter 364

Although nothing was gained at the Fuduhui auction, at least Chen Liang understood the madness of art collecting.

“Miss Yu, what is it like to drink tea with a tea cup worth more than 100 million yuan?”

During this time, Chen Liang and Yu Ji walked closer, and the two often met for tea together, as if they had entered the so-called “honeymoon period.”

At this moment, what Yu Ji is holding is the Mingchenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup that was photographed at Fuduhui a few days ago.

It is said that this thing is a royal wine glass made by the imperial kiln factory in Jingdezhen of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. It is only for the emperor to play with and enjoy. Because the bottom of the cup is painted with a chicken pattern and the shape looks like a water tank, it is named chicken tank cup.

A baby worth more than 100 million yuan was bought and offered carefully by others, but she actually brought it to drink tea.

The vigor of this woman is evident.

“It doesn’t feel much, it’s not even as good as the ordinary purple sand cup. If Chen Dong is curious, why not let you try it?”

Yu Ji was very generous, and she wanted to pass the tea cup over.

But Chen Liang didn’t know how to pick it up, and immediately raised his hand to decline.

“Thank you Miss Yu for your kindness, if I accidentally slipped my hand, I can’t afford it.”

The other party was polite and polite, but he naturally wouldn’t take it seriously.

This is a treasure worth more than one billion, and you should know that the other party has already used it, he shouldn’t be so uninterested.

“Miss Yu, this cup doesn’t look special, why is it so expensive?”

At that time, Yu Ji spent 150 million on this chicken tank cup. This was due to Yu Ji’s energy in the East China Sea, and not many people bid for it. Otherwise, the final transaction price would definitely be more than that.

Even if it is made of pure gold, it should not sell so much.

“When the chicken cylinder cup is fired, it needs to be glazed twice and returned to the furnace twice. During the period, there are countless waste products. A successful bucket color porcelain is based on a huge waste product. The cost can be imagined.”

Yu Ji explained in no hurry: “And official kiln porcelains are not used for commodity circulation. They are carefully selected, good tribute, and buried in various times. The Shenzong record records that Shenzong Shangshi has a pair of cups, the price is 10,000, after the Ming Chenghua In just 100 years, by the time of Emperor Ming Shenzong Wanli, this cup of Chenghua was worth 100,000 pairs. This was a very expensive porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. After more than 500 years, it is still intact, and very few can survive in the world. There are less than 20 at most, and most of them are hidden in museums everywhere. The folks are very rare. The price is reasonable.”

Chen Liang was surprised and sighed: “Miss Yu is really knowledgeable.”

This sentence is not a compliment.

He almost thought that the one sitting in front of him was a historian.

The reason why successful people succeed is not without reason.

It is hard to imagine that the other party can even understand this historical origin so clearly.

Chen Liang doesn’t know how much he understands this.

At least he knows nothing.

“People who play collection actually understand this. Otherwise, they will suffer a lot. If I don’t know the value of this chicken cup, how can I spend so much money on bidding? It really means I have a lot of money.”

This seems unintentional, but how does it sound insinuating the Shanghai emperor?

She held the chicken tank cup worth more than 100 million yuan, and said: “In fact, behind this chicken tank cup, there is a poignant royal love story.”

Chen Liang raised his eyebrows as if he was listening.

“Appreciate further details.”

“Emperor Chenghua experienced major changes in his childhood. He was seriously insecure. His shock caused him to suffer from severe stuttering and his reaction was relatively slow. The court lady Wan Shi began to take care of him at the age of 19. Emperor Chenghua relied heavily on Wan Shi. He has complicated feelings of being a wife and mother for Wan clan.”

“When Emperor Chenghua was 14 years old, he recruited 33-year-old Wan Guifei into the East Palace and accepted him as a concubine. According to records, Emperor Chenghua admired the picture of a hen and a hen painted by the Song Dynasty people. He saw a hen carrying a chick. He was very impressed with the warm scene of eating, and he was still painting a poem, praising the hen’s love for the chick, and also foreshadowing that he was carefully cared for and taken care of by Concubine Wan Gui. A picture of a chicken taking a chick foraging.”

“Concubine Wan Gui likes Doucai porcelain very much, especially the chicken cylinder cup. In order to please her, Emperor Chenghua ordered a large number of Jingdezhen official kilns to be fired. As a testimony of the love between Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan, the base model of the chicken cylinder cup was Ming Chenghua. The year system was also written by Emperor Chenghua himself.”

With that said, Yu Ji turned the chicken bowl cup over and placed it on the coffee table. There was indeed a signature of “Da Ming Chenghuanian” at the bottom.

“It is precisely because of Concubine Wan Gui’s love for porcelain that contributed to the prosperity of Doucai porcelain during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. In 1487, Concubine Wan Gui died, and Emperor Chenghua was overwhelmed with grief and died seven months later. This love for the imperial concubine It’s the story that has made a priceless chicken cup.”

Chen Liang sighed: “It seems that I don’t have a certain level of education, and I don’t have the confidence to participate in the auction. Miss Yu, you won’t be a history graduate, right?”

Yu Ji smiled.

“I can’t compare to you, I never went to college.”

Chen Liang was not surprised.

Not all talents come out of universities, and not all talents have gone to college.

“Miss Yu, since you know so much about art collection, do you know that besides auctions, are there other channels for art transactions?”

He stared at the chicken cup on the coffee table and asked.

Yu Ji showed her doubts.

Chen Liang explained further.

“For example, if I have a treasure in my hand, but I don’t want to auction it publicly, is there any way I can sell this treasure?”

“It’s very simple. Either look for potential buyers, communicate privately, or go to the black market.”

“black market?”

Chen Liang raised his eyebrows.

Yu Ji nodded.

“If there is black, there will be white. Not all the sources of cultural treasures are reasonable and legal, such as treasures dug from tombs and stolen proceeds. These can’t be put on the right track auctions, and the black market has emerged as the times require.”

“On the black market, the price may not be as high as auctions, but at least it provides a channel for realizing objects that are not visible.”

After a pause, Yu Ji asked, “I don’t know what treasure Chen Dong wants to sell? If I’m interested, maybe we can talk.”

Yu Ji is obviously a collector, but Chen Liang doesn’t think she can eat “Mona Lisa”.

Speaking out, he has to take a certain risk.

This goes against his original intention.

“I’m just curious to ask.”

I don’t know if I can see Chen Liang’s insincereness, maybe I can see it, and Yu Ji didn’t ask deeply.

Who does not have their own privacy and secrets.

“If Chen Dong really wants to sell something, I can give Chen Dong a website. The above are buyers and sellers from all over the world, and the security is very high. Whether it is shopping for treasures or selling things, the above should be able to satisfy your requirements.”

Chen Liang’s expression moved.

It sounds good.

“Then please give me this website, Miss Yu.”
