Chapter 231 Genuine Official Kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty

Packing is also a delicate job, and the clerks were very careful during the process, for fear of accidentally knocking it over. It took a full forty minutes to sort everything out, because Li Mo and the others were waiting in the store before Xiaojun and the others arrived.

After another ten minutes, someone pushed the door open and walked in. They were ten burly men. Their eyes were sharp and their expressions were resolute. The one at the front was the brown bear. He walked up to Li Mo and shouted respectfully: "Boss."

"boss."

The other nine people shouted almost at the same time, with loud and powerful voices, and everyone in the store looked shocked. The young man had such a high profile that these people were bodyguards at first glance.

"Everyone takes a few and takes them back to the company."

Li Mo stood up, picked up the two genuine ones and walked out the door first. Chen Feng followed behind with the old inkstone, and the others stepped forward and picked up three each.

"Brown Bear, you go back first, Mr. Chen and I will go shopping again."

"Yes, boss."

Li Mo was very satisfied when he saw that the ten people maintained their unique formation when they left. They were all soldiers who had come down from the army. They remained silent throughout the whole process and just followed orders.

When everyone walked away, Chen Fengcai asked excitedly in a low voice: "Boss, what's the origin of those two porcelain pieces?"

"One is from the Song Dynasty and the other is from the Qing Dynasty. I have to go back and identify the specific ones." Li Mo has only judged their authenticity at present, but has not yet identified their true origins.

They walked back, preparing to take the subway back, but within a dozen meters they saw the man who had been driven away limping towards them, and shouted loudly: "Boss, please wait a moment."

Li Mo turned around and looked around. In fact, he had already discovered that the man with strange behavior was guarding the outside corner, so he let Brown Bear and the others take the first step.

The man walked up to Li Mo with a snakeskin bag on his back, panted heavily, nodded and smiled and said: "Boss, I have six pieces of ancestral porcelain here. If you are interested, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price."

"Go under the pavilion over there and let me see what kind of porcelain it is first?"

"OK."

The three of them came to a pavilion to temporarily escape the heavy snow. The man opened his pocket and took out a packed box. When he opened it, he revealed a porcelain that resembled a flower pot holder. The color looked like rose purple.

Li Mo's eyes moved slightly, and he just said lightly: "The styles and colors look pretty good. Since you said it was passed down from ancestors, which dynasty is that porcelain from?"

The man scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Boss, the porcelain is really inherited from our ancestors, but it was always kept by my father and never allowed me to touch it. I only got these treasured porcelain after his death a few days ago, so

I really don’t know which dynasty it is from.”

"Brother, you are really interesting. You don't know anything and you still say it is an authentic product. Even if it is authentic, it is difficult to put a price on it. Why don't you go find an expert to appraise it first?"

Chen Feng sneered a few times, but after she finished speaking, she saw that Li Mo was still staring at the porcelain, and she wondered in her heart, could this be a genuine product? Otherwise, the junior brother would have turned around and left.

"Tell me first, how much do you plan to sell one for?" Chen Feng added.

The man hesitated before raising his right hand and opening it: "The whole price is 500,000 yuan."

Five hundred thousand is really too cheap, but Li Mo shook his head. This person is very problematic, and the origin of these porcelain may also be very problematic. If it is a hot potato, buying it is asking for trouble.

"Boss, half a million is really not expensive. Twenty years ago, my father sold a house to buy these six pieces. Although it was only worth more than 200,000 at that time, now it costs more than a million.

Yes, my price is really not high."

"Since it's worth over one million, why did you sell it for only half a million? If you don't make this clear, I won't accept the business."

"This..." The man looked embarrassed, not wanting to tell the real reason.

"let's go."

Li Mo turned around and left. There must be something wrong with the origin of these six pieces of porcelain, and he was determined not to touch them.

The man didn't catch up anymore. He looked at the two people's backs as they walked further and further away, with a cold look in his eyes. He tied his pockets and carried them on his back before limping away.

"Boss, is that thing real?"

"Well, it's also a genuine product from the official kilns of the Song Dynasty. If that one piece were put at auction, it would fetch at least 30 to 40 million yuan. If the remaining five pieces are all similar genuine products, the total value would be 1.

It's possible to spend two hundred million, but if you want to sell it for only half a million, it would be strange to say there is nothing fishy about it."

If there's something fishy, ​​it's most likely because it came from something wrong.

Li Mo thought of this and suddenly stopped. He looked back and found that the man was gone.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Li Mo and Chen Feng took the subway back to their home in the wealthy mansion.

"Senior sister, there is a coffee machine on the sideboard. I haven't used it. You go and make a cup of hot coffee and drink it to warm your body."

Li Mo put the three packaging boxes on the coffee table, then knelt on the edge of the coffee table, eager to identify their origins.

The first one was a porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty, a pastel plate with bird and lotus patterns. In addition to a small gap at the edge of the plate, he also saw damage at the bottom of the circle, which was the standard base of the official kiln.

I don't know why a piece of it got knocked off.

Among the three lines of six characters, only the four characters 'Daoguang Year System' are left, and the two characters 'Qing Dynasty' have been knocked off. Because the condition is incomplete, it is estimated that the eye-catching people in the store subjectively judged that it is most likely a fake and thought it was a fake.

Someone deliberately damaged it to confuse the public.

Although it is a genuine product that is damaged in appearance, it is not difficult to repair it with current technology. However, the repair master he is looking for is not of the same level as those who repaired the 'Jukotsuen' plum vase. After repairing it, at least it will be visible to the naked eye.

There will be no flaws.

When the time came for the auction, he told the truth that this was a restored product and an authentic pastel product from the Daoguang period. It was easy to sell for more than 100,000 yuan with such a style.

"Junior brother, what dynasty is this porcelain from?"

Chen Feng didn't go to prepare the coffee. She sat on the casual sofa next to her and watched Li Mo attentively identifying the porcelain.

"The Daoguang pastel bird and lotus pattern plate of the Qing Dynasty is a genuine official kiln from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It's just damaged. I'll find a master to repair it later."

Li Mo put away the lotus pattern plate, opened the second packaging box, and took out the celadon octagonal bottle.

He watched carefully and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really the best of the best. No wonder people say that the porcelain soil used in the official kilns of the Song Dynasty is delicate and moist. Its quality is like ancient brush and inkstones. There is a saying that the brush and inkstone has a body. It is like polishing with sandpaper.

It feels very delicate and smooth, without any sand, and the texture of jade is comparable to that of ancient brushes and inkstones. Only with such a porcelain body can such perfect porcelain be made."

"Junior brother, is this an authentic product from the Song Dynasty?"

"Well, this is a Song Dynasty official kiln celadon octagonal string pattern vase. I remember that a porcelain with the same shape was sold at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, and the auction price was more than 90 million. If I read it correctly,

The piece in front of us is an authentic piece from the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty."

Chen Feng swallowed and said softly: "If it were put up for auction now, wouldn't this piece of porcelain easily exceed 100 million?"

"It is necessary. I will collect this Southern Song Dynasty official kiln celadon octagonal string pattern vase and put it on display in the Gu Yunxuan Museum next year."
