Happy Tycoon

Chapter 633: Disappointment and gain

At Master Pei’s house, Yang Jing harvested seven single pots. Although the number is not as large as the number of purple clay pots harvested at Master Zhu’s house, these seven single pots can be called Master Pei’s meticulous craftsmanship during his lifetime. Any pot can be taken out. Absolutely high-quality goods, great collection value.

   Of course, the price of Yang Jing's purchase is the same as the price of Master Zhu's works, both of which are 300 pieces. This price also makes Master Pei's eldest son particularly happy.

In fact, in the early 1980s, even the works of Gu Jingzhou, a great figure in the Zisha art world, were only two hundred dollars. If they were of average appearance, they could not even sell for two hundred dollars. .

And the most important thing is that even at this price, very few people can buy in large quantities at one go in this era. The returned overseas Chinese who has just returned to China can spend more than two thousand yuan to buy seven of his own at once. Single pot, this was unimaginable before.

   Others don’t know, but Master Pei’s eldest son knows his own situation best. Although his deceased old man was very famous, in the six years after his death, the family had only sold five pots, an average of less than one a year.

   If it weren't for this young returning overseas Chinese, the seven pots made by his father himself would not know when they would be sold.

The price of    three hundred is a delight to everyone.

   Yang Jing carefully put the seven packed boxes into the tricycle's body, and then took Mr. Zhu to move on.

   The next goal is naturally Master Gu's home.

   Master Zhu and Master Gu can be regarded as best friends. The two themselves are fellows on the same street. Although Master Zhu is more than ten years older than Master Gu, this does not affect the friendship between the two.

   Especially after the liberation, Zisha Qilao responded to the call of the country to set up the Shushan Pottery Production Cooperative, and the two friends directly became colleagues. Especially as the other four of the Zisha Seven Elders passed away successively, the friendship between these remaining among them became even more precious.

   As for Yang Jing, of course, I also want to see Gu Jingzhou, a master-level figure in the purple sand art world, with my own eyes. It is a great honor for Yang Jing to meet such a real master.

   But unfortunately, Yang Jing’s wish was not fulfilled, because when Yang Jing took Mr. Zhu to Master Gu’s residence, he learned that Mr. Zhu had gone to the province for a meeting.

   You must know that Master Gu is less than seventy years old this year. Although he has not yet served as the director of the Yixing Zisha Research Institute, he is already a state-level arts and crafts artist at this time. Compared with the other six of the Seven Lao Zisha, with the exception of Master Jiang Rongjiang who is a bit younger than Master Gu, the other five masters are much older than Master Gu, and four of them have passed away.

   Therefore, as a leader in the Yixing purple sand industry, Master Gu usually has a lot of things. No, I just went to the province for a meeting with my apprentice Master Xu Hantang two days ago, and I haven't come back yet.

  Master Gu was not here, which made Yang Jing very disappointed, but because of the presence of Mr. Zhu, the purpose of Yang Jing's trip did not fail.

  As a good friend of Master Gu, Master Zhu is the same as Master Gu’s home when he arrives at Master Gu’s house. Master Zhu also knows all the purple clay pots that Master Gu has at home. He knows those that can be sold and which ones cannot.

   The two masters live not far away from each other. As long as it is okay, the two masters will get together to chat and discuss, so the two masters are very clear about each other's ideas and works.

   Making purple clay pots is a very laborious task, of course, it will also cost a certain amount of money. These masters are not immortals who do not eat fireworks. They also need to eat, drink and sleep, and naturally they also need a certain amount of funds to maintain their lives and careers.

Therefore, masters usually sell their works to outsiders. Of course, this has mostly happened in recent years. In those buzzing years, no one dared to sell purple clay pots privately, which would be regarded as capital. The tail of doctrine is cut off

   Although I didn't see my favorite Master Gu, Yang Jing also gained a lot from Master Gu's house. Under the instruction of Master Zhu, Yang Jing spent 3,000 yuan to purchase ten sets of Master Gu's works.

   Four of these ten sets of pots are complete sets, and six are single pots.

Among the four sets of purple clay pots, the largest number is a set of eleven-head teapots. This is a set of eleven-headed pots consisting of a pot, five cups and five cup holders. .

"Lao Gu made several sets of this set of pots back then. Initially, this set of pots was the work of Lao Gu and Professor Gao Zhuang after more than 20 years of deliberation. After the first set was made, it became very popular. Old Gu later made several more sets to give to friends, and now he has two sets left here, I will sell one set to you as the owner." Master Zhu explained to Yang Jing from the side.

This is not a nonsense. Like this kind of works of Zisha masters, after they have designed and produced a set of works, as long as the response is good enough, these masters will often make a few more sets in private, whether for collection or for gifting. Friends, you can use it.

Just like this set of teapots, Master Gu will definitely not only make one set. Of course, Yang Jing doesn’t know how many sets he made in total, but it is certain that the price of Master Gu’s works has not yet started to soar. Before, many people who had gotten a set of pots used them for their own use. If they were damaged during use, it would not be enough to make a complete set.

   Yang Jing feels a little dreamy about being able to win such a set of teapots for three hundred yuan. You must know that there is only one set of Gu Jingzhou Tibi pots that have been preserved in future generations. That is because that set of pots was collected in the Yixing Zisha Museum~www.readwn.com~ and later at Poly Art Auction 2011 in Autumn. That set of pots was sold at a sky-high price of 178.25 million yuan.

   And now, 300 yuan can buy such a set of pots, which is simply a big leak.

If you don’t have money, put it aside. This is the Tibi set made by Master Gu himself. Thirty years after taking it back, this is the second set of Gu Jingzhou Tibi set in the world that has been preserved intact. The value of the collection is naturally it goes without saying.

   In addition to this set of most teapots, Yang Jing also received a set of Yunjian Ruyi three-piece teapot, one pot and two cups.

   There is also a set of high-waisted teapot without headgear, one pot, two cups and two holders.

   The last set of purple clay teapots is a set of rain open-air star-shaped beam nine-head teapots, one pot, four cups and four holders.

   Later generations have only seen the single-handle high-waisted beam pot and the rain open-air star beam pot, and I have never seen the set.

As for the remaining six single pots, they are all carefully made by Master Gu, one this music pot, one Linghua pot, one flat belly pot, one antique Ruyi pot, one melon pot and one Very rare ink clay jade pot.

   These ten sets of pots are all masterpieces of Master Gu. Most of the single pots are antique pots, which are of great collection value.

   can buy these ten sets of pots for three thousand yuan, Yang Jing has nothing to say. If thirty years later, let alone three thousand yuan, even if you give you thirty million, you can buy the set of rainy open-air star Tiliang nine-head teapot without seeing you.
