Chapter 459
The last time Chen Xia came to Peking for a large-scale mobilization, he spent nearly 800,000 yuan because of the urgent time.
Because he is a foreigner, although everything is fidelity, the price is definitely serious and high.
This time, Ying Yuanyue stayed in Peking, and had time and patience to slowly find good treasures, and then slowly bargained for the price. Therefore, although the number of antiques purchased was more abundant and the variety was richer, the money was spent.
Moreover, as the shopkeeper of the old society, it was his specialty to be good at greeting the three religions and the rest of the world. After a few months, the antique dealers in the Sijiu City, both open and secret, even the "God Master" had become familiar with him.
Many times, if there are good babies to be taken away, people will come to Meiyuan to find him directly, and no longer need to find him and each stall, which has greatly accelerated the pace of antique acquisition.
Ying Yuanyue took out a porcelain piece and said:
"Last time you asked me to pay attention to Yuan blue and white. This is the plum vase that Xiao He Yuexia chased Han Xin from the moon. How about it? Is it the Yuan blue and white you want?"
Chen Xia's heartbeats so fast that he almost needs to eat a slice of Metoprolol. "Hahaha, yes, yes, it's just this thing. Oh, I don't dare to take it anymore. You put it on, let me take a good look."
The Yuan blue and white plum vase is very famous in the later generations. Not only are the portraits of Yuan blue and white characters rare, but there are only three pieces in the world, and the auction price in 2011 reached HK$840 million.
So even if Chen Xia has nothing now, he can become a billionaire with this plum vase. How can he not be excited? He doesn’t love money, but he didn’t say he doesn’t love antiques.
Ying Yuanyue kept introducing the porcelain in the main room, such as the "Auspicious Day" heart-turning bottle of Qianlong's pastel in Qing Dynasty, the "Wanshou Lianyan" gourd bottle, the Ru kiln sky green glaze sunflower washing in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Doucai chicken jar cup in the Ming Dynasty.
These are the few precious porcelains that Chen Xia knew about. Ying Yuanyue completed the task very well and almost bought them all.
"The Song Ru kiln is the most expensive here. It costs 6,000 yuan to wash this pen. I visited the door three times and the seller was attracted by the price. The cheapest one is this heart-turning bottle. Although the pastels in the Qianlong year look good, the antique circle is not very important. The color and pattern are too bright."
Chen Xia thought to himself, what do you know? The charming people that Qianlong likes naturally do not look down on them among cultural people and intellectuals, but they can't resist the nouveau riche liked them later.
It’s just like when someone buys a car, you must buy the most beautiful one, the clothes must be the most fancy one, and the secretary must choose one with big breasts.
As for porcelain, in their eyes, the more colorful the more exaggerated the shape, the better it looks.
"Master Ying, since Qianlong's pastels are so cheap, you should pay more attention to it. As long as the porcelain of the period is in the past, you can buy more, but don't take it all in one breath. In addition, you should also pay attention to Qianlong's twelve flower cups."
Next, Chen Xia went to another house and the whole room was filled with yellow rosewood furniture, and all of them were in complete sets.
The price of these furniture is even lower, and a complete set of tables and chairs costs only a few hundred yuan.
The prices of furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties, or mahogany furniture, in the 1980s, were not popular. Ordinary people in the Sijiu City regarded it as daily necessities. When they heard that a set of tables and chairs could be exchanged for several hundred yuan, no one was unwilling to sell.
Tang Monk's wife also purchased a large number of mahogany furniture during this period, and later became the famous "Rood Sandalwood Queen" in the antique circle. With Chen Xia's sudden appearance in this life, I guess she is still one step late?
Uh, I wonder if "Li He" in "My 1979" is now riding a small three-wheeler to collect antiques in the alley? If you meet him, you can still make friends.
Tell him again that Zhang Wanting will change her mind after going abroad and will cuckold him. This girl is not a good person, so be careful.
When everyone went to bed that night, Chen Xia put all the antiques into the Space Hospital. Now the 6th floor of the outpatient clinic of the Space Hospital is full of antiques, and every room is full, even in the corridor.
Many national treasure-level cultural relics do not deserve an exclusive storage cabinet. They just lie on the ground, and Chen Xiake has no time and energy to organize them one by one.
He is a little depressed now. When will so many antiques be sold in the future?
The next morning
The temperature outside is minus 10 degrees Celsius, and the Shichahai ice rink has been opened.
When Chen Xia pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard, the beach was very lively. All the stubborn masters in Sijiu City, Buddha had already come out to play. Well, if he was a stubborn master, he would have to eat peanuts that had been severely cracked down in 1983, right?
He watched the shore for a long time but didn't dare to go down to skate. The children in the south don't know how to do it. They can't afford to hurt him. If someone cut his handsome face with an ice skate, it would be troublesome.
Today he has a task, so he has to think of a complete solution to give away the "gifts" brought from Japan, so he has to go and check out the spot first.
In 1983, should the Ministry of Machinery Industry or the Ministry of Ordnance Industry?
Chen Xia has been confused by the name of this era, which shows how important it is to reduce the organization. It is not easy for a patriotic and caring person like him to give some good things, and he can't find the temple gate with a pig's head.
He rode his bicycle along Di'anmen Street all the way east, and came to Donghuangchenggen Street, where the Ministry of Machinery Industry was right here.
At this time, the government agencies were relatively friendly, but there were no large iron gates or green military uniforms standing guard. The door was usually open, and the guard was wide open to observe the suspicious person.
Who is Chen Xia? The cheeky representative? If you stop your bicycle and take out a cigarette these days, he said very politely: "Uncle, I have something to ask your minister. Please help me contact me."
Don't think that the awesome guard can kick you onto the main road, who will be the countryside?
But Chen Xia was wearing a woolen coat, a big hat, a big mask, a big scarf, and a cotton shoe that was polished brightly. He looked like an ordinary person, so when he passed by the doorman, he didn't stop at all.
He also pressed the bell a few arrogantly, and asked the person blocking the way at the door to get out of the way and not to see him at all.
Then when I passed by the guard, I didn't slow down at all, and I didn't raise my eyelids and rushed in.
"Hey, Lao Zheng, who was the one who just entered?"
"I'm dressing so sexy, I should be Dai Aiguo from the General Office? I heard that his grandfather is this. His family is not short of money and he wears high-end clothes all day long."
"Oh, Dai Aiguo, I know, no wonder I didn't even say hello."
The two guards had already figured it out, and it was thanks to Chen Xia's outfit. It would be great if he was wearing patched clothes today and carrying a rag bag, and not being deported as a blind remit.
Chen Xia rode his bicycle around a building and saw that there was no one on the left and right, and then patted his chest. If the guard caught it, it would be difficult to deal with it.
