The Book of Appreciation

Wu Di saw that this was a "rabbit hair blue lamp" built in a kiln. If it was genuine, it would be extremely precious.But this one gave him the feeling that it was the real thing!So what is the reason why Zhou Lesheng put it here?According to the value of this item, no matter how generous he is, he would not give such a gift.

Jian Kiln is one of the famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, also known as "Jian'an Kiln" and "Wuni Kiln". It is famous for firing black glazed porcelain.There are the most small bowls, the fetal bone is black and muddy, and the glaze surface is multi-striped crystal lines, as thin as rabbit fur, commonly known as "rabbit hair cup".According to their glaze color, they are also called "golden cup", "silver cup" and "blue cup".

Among them, the "blue lamp" is the most precious. No one in the industry has publicly claimed to have seen the real thing, but they did not expect to meet one here.But this one is not completely blue. The inner part of the bowl has a gradual color from black to blue. The outside of the bowl is strange, showing three colors of black, gold, and blue, and the three colors are distinct, like three circles. ring, decorating the bowl in a weird way.

Could this be why he thought it was a fake?It is possible that such a strange color is intentional at first glance, and those kiln owners back then were probably not so interested.

Wu Di took out a magnifying glass and carefully looked at the glazed surface inside and outside the bowl, and he could vaguely see the fine patterns of cicada feathers, dotted with snowflake-shaped gold stars, silver stars and red stars.At this point, he was convinced that this was a real "rabbit hair lamp", but it was not easy to say whether it should be called "Jinzhan" or "Lanzhan".

The result of Tianshu's verification confirmed his judgment, Wu Di held the bowl and began to struggle.If it's an ordinary leak, Zhou Lesheng won't care about it even if it's open, but this one needs at least a piece of glass to replace it. money?

Carefully placing the bowl on the desk, he continued to look down.There is nothing more about porcelain, and there are more miscellaneous small items, among which there are more than a dozen snuff bottles.Wu Di laughed after seeing it a few times. This is the little gift that Zhou Lesheng prepared for him, and half of it is actually real!

He looked through the snuff bottles one by one and shook his head. Now he was even more ashamed to take the "rabbit cup" and leave quietly, because Zhou Lesheng actually put a work by Zhou Leyuan in the snuff bottle.

Zhou Leyuan was a master of the inner-painted teapot art of the Beijing School during the Guangxu period. He was also known as the three great masters of the Chinese inner-painted teapot art together with Ma Shaoxuan and Ye Zhongsan.His inner paintings have a wide range of subjects, including landscape figures, flowers, birds, fish and insects, calligraphy, etc., all of which are exquisite, and he is especially good at landscape paintings.And this is precisely a snuff bottle with landscape and figure patterns painted inside the crystal. If it is put up for auction, it will cost at least four to five million yuan to get it down.

Wu Di took out the snuff bottle and put it away with the rabbit, and then looked at the rest.This is a bamboo painting of Zheng Banqiao.In the painting, the thick and thin ink bamboo is tall and thin, full of majestic and majestic momentum, which has a bit of Zheng's demeanor, but it is definitely not painted by Zheng Banqiao.The rest was even worse, nothing even caught the eye.He smiled, if he picked up a lot of them here, wouldn't it mean that someone drilled them and then drilled them again?This is too stupid, two pieces are just right!

When Wu Di came out, Zhou and Hu were already drinking tea. Judging by their expressions, they probably reached a consensus.That's right, it was Lang's love and concubine's intentions, so it's not easy for someone to match them up?

Zhou Lesheng didn't even look at what Wu Di brought out, and directly ordered the servant to pack it. Wu Di quickly stopped him, and said with a wry smile:

"Boss Zhou, I think you'd better take a look."

"No, the special appraiser of the famous Jingshi only picked up two leaks in my pile of rags, which proves that the masters I hired can still be trusted, hahahaha! However, if you are really sorry, you don't have to give 20 Alright, let’s change to a glass! Your old Hu is too stingy, he’s only willing to give me finished jewelry, I can’t even use raw materials to make something for myself!”

Wu Di smiled bitterly and nodded, he was fooled, it seems that this rabbit was also deliberately released by others!It's troublesome now, it's not just a simple value exchange, the key is people's intentions!

The two declined the dinner invitation, returned to the hotel and Hu Zili smiled and said:

"Boss, did you take advantage this time?"

"Fart! Been surrounded by the old fox! But I like it. After all, this thing is much rarer than the glass species, and it can be regarded as what it needs."

"Oh? What's the situation?"

Wu Di handed the two items to Sparrow for safekeeping, and said:

"Old Zhou deliberately put two treasures in that pile of junk. If they go up for auction, the value is estimated to be hundreds of millions. I was still complacent and thought I had picked up a big mistake. Tell me, is it in the suit now?"

Hu Zili laughed and said:

"He has found out about you. How could he not know that you made a big splash at the Treasure Fighting Conference? This is a gift for you on purpose!"

"The gift was given, and I also accepted it. Think about how to return the gift! How did the talk go?"

"Old Zhou is determined to enter the jade jewelry."

Hu Zili gave Wu Di a cigarette, lit it himself, took two puffs, and said:

"In all Zhou Lesheng jewelry stores, set up a special counter to sell Lanmeng's jade jewelry, and only pay 20.00% of the profit. How about this condition?"

"20.00% of the profit? Isn't it 20.00% of the sales? I'm sure that old man Zhou is not sick, and there must be very serious conditions behind it."

Hu Zili gave Wu Di a thumbs up,

"Actually, whether we are good or not depends on our own development. This is the first contract for two years. The second contract is that he will assist Lanmeng to open a reading store in Hong Kong two years later, but Lanmeng will be responsible for providing The emerald materials are processed and produced by Zhou Lesheng himself, among which the glass is no less than five kilograms per year, and the contract lasts for five years."

"Five kilograms? I don't have a big appetite! It's just that in the past five years, it seems that we have suffered a bit! Didn't we personally cultivate a powerful competitor?"

Hu Zili smiled bitterly and said:

"Boss, five kilograms isn't much? That's our Lanmeng. If you change someone else, you can ask if you have two or three kilograms. It's still a problem! Now that I think about it, the auction should really be held after the public auction. Right now, any glass bracelet dares to ask for hundreds of millions!"

"That's the asking price! The auction has built up our reputation. Besides, if we don't rush to hold it when all the people are here, who can afford so much money?"

"That's true, so we have to seize the opportunity. The emerald mine in Guatemala must be won as soon as possible, just to take advantage of the power of the auction to enter Europe. Once the contract is signed in Hong Kong, we don't need to spend too much thought. We can first Stabilize the domestic market, expand to Europe, and deal with this market later. As for the supply of raw materials in the next five years after two years, I don’t think there will be a big problem. There are so many jadeite producers, and we don’t care about one more. Besides, we have an absolute advantage in resources. , what is there to be afraid of? I think this contract can be signed."

Wu Di nodded his head, he had a lot of blood buying antiques in the past two days, which made him realize that his little money was not enough to spend on it.Part of his funds come from gambling stones, but considering the development of Lanmeng, it is impossible to realize a large amount of wool in a short period of time.Most of the funds also came from two gambling, but after all, that is something that cannot be met. Could it be possible that he could go to Macau to sweep the casinos in order to find money?

He shook his head and said to himself:

"I need some money..."

"Boss, in fact, our Blue Dream executives all have a dream, and we haven't had time to communicate with you. After talking with Zhou Lesheng today, I think I should report it to you."

"Oh, what's the plan? It won't be me sponsoring again?"

"No, it's a big plan, but it needs your full support!"

Wu Di is happy, that's not asking for money!

"It's not about money, it's about making up your mind, boss, to change Lanmeng's business thinking."

"It's pretty good now? Why do you want to change?"

"The variety of business is too single. In the past, when resources were scarce, it was fine if we couldn't expand. Now that we need money and goods, we must seize the time to expand. At this time, the limitations of professionalism are exposed. , Small and fine is not as big and complete!"

Wu Di pondered for a moment, raised his head and said something that surprised Hu Zili,

"You mean, consumers will cross borders?"

"That's right! She will have a diamond ring, an emerald bracelet, a gemstone necklace, and gold jewelry alone. In fact, there is no threshold for us. Why don't we rush away together?"

Seeing that Wu Di was silent, Hu Zili persuaded:

"At present, the growth momentum of Lanmeng has slowed down, mainly because some old customers have been saturated, and it is difficult to develop new customers. We also need to find new profit growth points like Zhou Lesheng, otherwise it is easy to fall silent, which is a pity for us. This trend has been painstakingly managed!"

"I don't worry about money and goods. You must be able to control this. What I worry about is people. Does Lanmeng have so many talents?"

Hu Zili laughed and said:

"Since I took office, I have started the system of rotating store managers in each store, and each salesperson will be a deputy store manager for a day..."

Hu Zili's long speech made Wu Di see his hard work in Lanmeng, nodded and said:

"Then let's go and do it. We have our own store and there are so many woolen materials. This is the strongest backing!"

"If you don't plan to win, think about defeat first... But boss, I am sure I will win this time!"

He glanced at Wu Di, tentatively said:

"Boss, actually I still have a big goal..."

"Large goals? Let's talk about it. I found that I really underestimated you, old Hu, and thought that you put all your thoughts on Mr. Shao! Hehe!"

Hu Zili pretended to wipe off his sweat, but felt nervous for a while. It seemed that this office romance was a bad one.

"High-end emeralds are luxury goods. Large diamonds, gemstones, and pearls are all luxury goods. Can we also expand on this basis? Leather goods, clothes, watches... I think we can all dabble in the future. , we want to turn Blue Dream into a real luxury trust!" (To be continued.)
