Chapter 292 The Road to the Flower God Cup (2)

"What is yours is yours, and what is not yours is not yours. Try to fight for it, but don't force it."

With Mr. Bai's confession, Chen Ran left Mr. Bai's Mingxiang Pavilion. Of course, it was already half an hour later.

Mr. Bai didn't say much about Chen Ran's support. Not only did he tell Chen Ran the whereabouts of the other cups he knew, but he also verbally agreed to transfer the three flower god cups he had collected to Chen Ran. Of course, it's just that his three are kept at home, and Chen Ran has not been allowed to take them away for the time being. After the broken osmanthus cup is repaired, they will take it away together.

The three flower god cups collected by Mr. Bai are the narcissus cup in January, the peach blossom cup in March, the lotus cup in June, the narcissus cup in January is worth between 60 and 70, and the peach blossom cup in March is 30. Between 40 and 25, the lotus cup in June is about [-].

Because Mr. Bai knew that Chen Ran had a June lotus cup, so he just transferred the January Narcissus Cup and the March Peach Blossom Cup to Chen Ran. The sum of the two was 95.

For the time being, Chen Ran still concealed that Mr. Bai had seven sweet-scented osmanthus cups, so he didn't talk about the lotus cups. Anyway, we can talk about them when we come to pick them up.

In the circle of antiques, no matter how good the relationship is, when it comes to money, the division is very clear. If the division is clear, the buyer and the seller can rest assured. According to the price quoted in the auction record of the auction house, Mr. Bai didn't care about the 80 yuan. He didn't have anything to say about giving the cup to Chen Ran, but he gave the cup to Chen Ran. When Chen Ran collected a complete set of Kangxi What should I say about the Chao Wucai December Flower God Cup, he directly set the price, and when Chen Ran came to pick it up, the money and goods would be settled, which would undoubtedly reassure Chen Ran. Of course, it is still an oral agreement for the time being, and Chen Ran will come to pick it up Just pay when the cup arrives.

In addition to transferring the Flower God Cup he collected to Chen Ran, Mr. Bai gave Chen Ran a good lesson, explaining to Chen Ran in great detail how to identify the authenticity of the Flower God Cup and how to distinguish Kangxi Chen Ran benefited a lot from hearing the difference between Chao Wucai Flower God Cup and other Flower God Cups like the Republic of China period.

Although he has an energy aperture, the more he knows about the Flora Cup, the more beneficial it will be for him.

Since the Kangxi Dynasty blue-and-white multicolored Twelve Moon Flower God Cup was a famous official kiln product, there were many imitations from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and the Republic of China imitation was the best.

Although the imitation cups of the Republic of China have good production skills, they still have many subtle differences compared with the Kangxi cups. These differences can be carefully observed in terms of tire quality, glaze, shape, structure, ring foot, style, painting skills, etc. can be observed.

Mr. Bai explained very carefully, and even explained in detail the differences between the Kangxi and the Republic of China period of each rose flower cup one by one.

The knowledge of how to identify the god of flowers taught by Mr. Bai is undoubtedly very important to Chen Ran, so although he may not be able to grasp it thoroughly for a while, he has memorized it verbatim in his mind.

After leaving Mingxiang Pavilion, Chen Ran drove to a restaurant and ordered a few home-cooked dishes. While waiting for the dishes, he brought his leather bag and took out a notebook from it.

The address and even the contact information of the owner of the Huashen cup that Mr. Bai confessed to is recorded in this notebook. Some only have a city name and a name, and some only have contact information, but do not know the name and address. , while some only have a name, no address or contact information... But they can basically be contacted through indirect relationships. After all, these Tibetan owners are just Tibetan friends of Mr. Bai. With family background, it's normal for Mr. Bai not to know the exact address and contact information.

Naturally, it is impossible for these Tibetan owners to all be from the Central Plains Province. There are all over the country. Apart from Mr. Bai, there are four other Tibetans from the Central Plains Province.

Needless to say, Chen Ran will definitely run closer first, then run farther away, first receive all the cups in the Central Plains Province, and then go to other places.

These four people from the Central Plains Province, some are very powerful, some are from ordinary families, and some don’t know the details. The very powerful people are not short of money, so it is naturally difficult to collect them, especially the one with the most powerful background, who can Not being able to see people's faces is probably a problem.

In fact, there is no need to choose at all, Chen Ran has the first target, because this target is an acquaintance, not someone else, it is Jiang Lao, that is, the person who once prevented him from transferring the official kiln plum vase in the antique city. He is clearly a decent and even a bit old man.

According to Mr. Bai, Mr. Jiang should have four Huashen cups in his hand.When Mr. Bai talked about the Flower God Cup collected by Mr. Jiang, he also told a story between him and Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Bai came from a family of ceramics, and he was a prodigal son when he was young, and Mr. Jiang also came from a family of ceramics. It's just that Mr. Jiang is decent when he says it nicely, but he's a bit old-fashioned when he says it badly. No matter how you look at it, a prodigal son like the old man is not pleasing to the eye. In addition, both of them are from a ceramic family and neither is convinced. It can be said that there are constant conflicts. The fiancée who made a marriage contract, Mr. Bai used aggressive methods to force Mr. Jiang to make a bet with him, and whoever wins will embrace the beauty.

Both of them came from a family of ceramics, so the bet was naturally related to ceramics.

At the same time, the blue and white multicolored December Flower God Cups of the Kangxi period were collected for a period of three years. When the period expired, the party with the most collections won.

In the end, who lost and who won, old man Bai didn't say anything, Chen Ran asked curiously, but was stared at twice by old man Bai, and finally didn't answer his question.

Seeing old man Bai's appearance, and Bai Lao's saying that Jiang Lao had four Huashen cups in his collection, Chen Ran guessed that Jiang Lao had won.

No wonder Mr. Bai was so angry when he saw Mr. Jiang last time. It turned out that there was such a thing, and Chen Ran felt a little funny.

Although Chen Ran and Mr. Jiang only met once, and Mr. Jiang lectured on this one-sided relationship, he still had a good impression of Mr. Jiang, and what Mr. Jiang impressed him most was the distinction between good and evil. There was some misunderstanding, but I explained it clearly later, and I took good care of him. Although I haven't met him in the future, I heard that Mr. Jiang mentioned him many times in front of others, so the four cups collected by Mr. Jiang are Chen Ran's. Grasp is still quite big.

Mr. Bai does not have the contact information of Mr. Jiang, but he does have the contact information of Mr. Jiang's son.

Chen Ran took out his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Lao's son's phone number recorded in his notebook, and it took a while to get through.After connecting, Chen Ran quickly introduced himself, saying that he wanted to visit Mr. Jiang.

"My dad has gone to Shanghai, and he won't be back in a few days. You can call back in a few days." After Chen Ran explained his intentions, the other party's attitude was very cold, even a little impatient. When Chen Ran spoke, he hung up the phone directly.

Chen Ran, who was holding the mobile phone, frowned. He wanted to ask Mr. Jiang for his contact information, but the other party hung up the phone before he could ask.

Sensing the other party's attitude, Chen Ran also wanted to contact Mr. Jiang directly, so he called again, but it rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Chen Ran was a little depressed. He couldn't get in touch with Mr. Jiang's son, so he couldn't get in touch with Mr. Jiang. He couldn't just come out of Mr. Bai and trouble Mr. Bai again.

Seeing that the waiter brought up the dishes, Chen Ran didn't think too much about it. It's almost two o'clock, so let's solve the problem of food and clothing first.

After eating, Chen Ran called Mr. Jiang's son again, but the other party still didn't answer.

Sighing lightly, Chen Ran could only put Jiang Lao's four cups aside first, since he couldn't run away anyway, let's wait for Jiang Lao to come back to talk about it, since Jiang Lao is in Shanghai, the other party should not be able to lie to him.

Mr. Jiang was not in Zhongdu, and after Mr. Jiang was excluded, there were only three people left in the Central Plains Province. Chen Ran took a look at his notebook and decided to go east.

After choosing the route, Chen Ran drove the car and refueled at the gas station and set off. The distance between Dongdu and Zhongdu is very short, and he arrived at Dongdu in less than half an hour.

Chen Ran had never been to Dongdu before, and when he arrived, he didn't know how to get there. He simply parked his off-road vehicle in the parking lot of a hotel, and then directly stopped a taxi.

"Master, Songmen Village, Gulou District."

After getting into the taxi, Chen Ran told the driver the address he knew, and he only knew this one address, but his target was an old man surnamed Lin, who was not in Mr. Bai's collection circle. Even old man Bai and old man Lin don't know each other, they just know that there is such a person.

According to Mr. Bai, Mr. Lin should have two Flora cups in his collection.

Chen Ran's goal was the two Flora Cups.

When the taxi arrived at Songmen Village, Chen Ran paid the bill and got out of the car, and walked directly into Songmen Village.

"Boss, I want to ask you something. Do you know an old man named Lin?" After entering Songmen Village, Chen Ran went to a cigarette shop at the entrance of the village and bought a pack of cigarettes. Give the boss one and inquire about it.

"I don't know." The boss waved his hand, not taking the cigarette that Chen Ran handed over.

Chen Ran frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Is the Songmen Mosque far from our place?"

Old man Lin's home is not far from the Songmen Mosque, not far, but I don't know how far this distance is.

"It's still far away, just follow this road and go all the way in." The boss stood at the door and pointed his finger at Chen Ran.

After Chen Ran thanked him, he walked along this road to the village. After walking for more than ten minutes, he saw the Songmen Mosque. The mosque can be regarded as a tourist attraction, but there are not many people there.

"Auntie, I want to ask you something, do you know where Uncle Lin's family lives?" Seeing an old lady sitting and resting on the side of the road with a child in her arms, she should be a local, so Chen Ran left I went up and asked.

The old lady raised her head and glanced at Chen Ran before she said, "Which Uncle Lin are you talking about? Most of the people living here are named Lin. Who knows which one you are talking about?"

Chen Ran was startled, then thought for a while: "Is there an Uncle Lin who likes to collect antiques?"

"You are talking about Lin Laosi, he is the only one who likes to tinker with those things. He lives in this building, on the second floor." The old lady patted the child in her arms, and stretched out her hand to give Chen Ran pointed.

Chen Ran took a look, thanked him, and hurried towards the building that the old lady pointed out to him.
