Chapter 382 Old Acquaintance Teacher Wu
Three days later, Boss Li from Indonesia arrived as scheduled.
He is a little old man with some gray hair, wearing a floral shirt, rimless glasses, and a green thumb on his thumb, which looks very Southeast Asian.
The transaction was conducted in the Linhai Museum, and the security conditions here were relatively safe.
Boss Li didn't care. He invited a financial escort and a car to come over. If the transaction was successful, he would load it directly into the car and take it to the airport.
At the same time, he said that if Zhang Yang insisted on cash, he could arrange it.
This is a real RMB player, just like playing games in reality.
After greetings and before looking at the goods, Boss Li gave him a meeting gift.
The item was packed in a yellow wooden box, and you could tell it was an antique at first glance.
Librarian He helped open the box and placed the treasure inside in front of Zhang Yang.
It is a brown-yellow ceramic bowl that looks a bit unattractive.
The center of the bowl has a bluegrass pattern outlined in dark green glaze.
Those who often come into contact with Tang Dynasty pottery, or those who like Tang Sancai, should be very familiar with the green and brown glazes on the bowls.
This is a typical Tang Dynasty glaze color.
"Name: Tang Dynasty Tea Cup"
"Material: pottery, lead, copper, iron"
"Production time: 826 (the second year of Tang Baoli)"
"Detailed information: This is a typical Changsha kiln tea cup from the Tang Dynasty. It is slightly smaller and shallower than the bowl. It is salvaged porcelain from the "Black Stone" discovered in Indonesia."
oh? It turned out to be the famous Black Stone Hailing Porcelain.
A total of more than 67,000 pieces of Tang Dynasty porcelain were salvaged from a shipwreck that year, which is a clear proof of the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty.
This tea cup, which was made from the Black Stone, was given to Zhang Yang by an Indonesian businessman as a meeting gift. It seemed perfect.
The first is the cheap price.
This kind of practical utensil from Tang Dynasty folk kilns is not expensive. In recent years, similar utensils have appeared in overseas auctions one after another, and the price is only about two thousand yuan.
There is no burden on Zhang Yang to put it away.
Secondly it makes sense.
After being named the "Black Stone", this tea cup can just be placed in the special exhibition of the Maritime Silk Road.
Zhang Yang had nothing to give in return, and he didn't have a matching antique in his hand.
Either it’s too expensive, or it doesn’t have enough meaning behind it.
He could only take out the Ban Zhang (Pu'er Tea King) from the 1990s as a gift to Master Wang, and ask Boss Li to taste it.
"This tea is delicious."
Boss Li smacked his lips, picked up the dismantled tea brick, held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, then asked Zhang Yang,
"Director Zhang, where can I buy this tea? How much does it cost per pound? I'll buy some too."
"This is not expensive, only 10,000 yuan per catty, but it's not easy to buy." Zhang Yang laughed.
He asked Ding Qiang to help him find this thing. It would take some effort to buy the real thing.
"Director Zhang, you guys know how to enjoy it." Boss Li said with emotion, "I had a lot of trouble trying to drink good tea in Indonesia, but you guys can drink this good tea every day."
"How about giving me half of the tea brick? I'll pay for it."
A tea brick is half a catty, and then divided into half... Of course Zhang Yang was embarrassed to ask for money.
He immediately asked Librarian He to find a tea box and filled half of it for him.
"Haha, even if Director Zhang doesn't sell the Buddhist scriptures to me today, it's not in vain."
"How could you not sell it? As long as you are sincere, Boss Li, I will definitely sell it."
"How about we go take a look now?" Zhang Yang made an inviting gesture.
"Okay, but wait a moment, I'll call someone over."
Boss Li explained that he didn't understand Qianlong's calligraphy very well.
But he found an expert who would definitely understand.
Zhang Yang guessed this, so he was not surprised.
You can't expect a boss who can make hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions to know how to appraise antiques. After all, not everyone is Master Zhang.
However, Zhang Yang was still shocked when he saw the experts coming in.
Why does this guy look so much like Mr. Wu Xingfei, who successfully lost weight?
By the way, isn't he "in Thailand and lost contact with him"?
I heard that not even the Thai Embassy found him, and they thought he was dead.
"Director Zhang, long time no see."
Wu Xingfei took the initiative to say hello and asked Zhang Yang to confirm his identity.
"Teacher Wu, it's really you. Master Wang and the others turned the entire earth upside down before and couldn't find you. Where have you been?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
In Zhang Yang's opinion, there is no conflict between him and Teacher Wu.
Although Teacher Wu and Teacher Che were both labeled as "unscrupulous experts" by Zhang Yang in the live broadcast room.
But Teacher Wu hasn't gone to jail yet, which means that Zhang Yang's exposure of the bad things he did has not affected him personally.
Since there is no impact, there is naturally no conflict.
As for Wu Xingfei’s own thoughts…
He originally hated Zhang Yang, but after traveling around Southeast Asia and escaping from death, he no longer had the heart to hate him.
Even seeing Zhang Yang, an old acquaintance, his nose felt sore and he felt like crying.
"I know Master Wang and the others are looking for me, but I can't help myself. Forget it, let's not mention it. Anyway, I, Hu Hansan, am back. All this is thanks to Boss Li..."
"Hey, Teacher Wu, you're too polite. I'll have to rely on you to help me look at things later." Boss Li said very condescendingly.
However, his behavior of calling people in just before the appraisal proved that he did not respect Wu Xingfei as much as he seemed on the surface.
After spreading the entire Buddhist scripture on the table, Wu Xingfei took out a magnifying glass and started reading from the first word.
It's like a blind man touching an elephant.
It felt like he had even observed the texture of the paper.
It took him half an hour to make a very rigorous judgment:
"According to my experience, this should be an authentic piece from the mid-Qing Dynasty."
"But because Emperor Qianlong may have acted as a ghostwriter, I am not 100% sure whether this Buddhist scripture was written by Qianlong himself."
"It can only be said that it is relatively consistent with the existing calligraphy written by Qianlong himself."
"Pa bang bang..."
Zhang Yang sincerely applauded Teacher Wu.
If he had carried out the appraisal so seriously and responsibly earlier, he would not have been regarded as an unscrupulous expert.
"Okay, that's no problem."
Boss Li also clapped, but his applause was more like celebrating a deal.
"Teacher Wu, please go down and rest first. I have something to say to Director Zhang."
"Director Zhang..." Boss Li slowly spoke after Wu Xingfei left the room, "There should be no problem with the origin of this thing."
"I remember that most of Qianlong's calligraphy is in the Forbidden City."
"Of course, I will accept it even if there is a problem, but the price is different."
"Don't worry, there's no problem." Zhang Yang pointed to where he was, "Since I dare to trade with you in the museum, I must be confident."
"Anyone who says there is something wrong with your thing should come directly to me."
"Just wait for what you say, Director Zhang! I'll call the secretary over. Do you want cash or online banking?"
"Just transfer the money and let the museum's finances handle it later."
"Okay, how about happy cooperation?" Boss Li stretched out his hand.
"Happy cooperation!" Zhang Yang held the other party's hand tightly.
After all the procedures were completed, Zhang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before leaving, Boss Li suddenly handed Zhang Yang an invitation letter.
I didn’t explain why, so I just smiled and said to him:
"Director Zhang, I must reward you after the new year!"
