Happy Tycoon

Yang Jing harvested seven single pots in Master Pei's house. Although the number is not as large as the purple sand pots harvested in Master Zhu's house, these seven single pots can be called the meticulous production of Master Pei during his lifetime. Absolute boutique, great collection value.

Of course, Yang Jing's purchase price is the same as the purchase price of Master Zhu's works, both are 300 pieces. This price also made Master Pei's eldest son very happy.

In fact, in the early 1980s, even the works of Master Gu Jingzhou, the leading figure in the Zisha art world today, cost only 200 yuan a piece. If it was of average quality, it would not even sell for 200 yuan. .

And the most important thing is that even at this price, there are very few people who can buy a large amount in one go in this era. Like the returned overseas Chinese who just returned to China, he can spend more than 2,000 yuan to buy seven of his own. Single pot, which was unimaginable before.

Others don't know, but Master Pei's eldest son knows his family's situation best. Although the old man who passed away was very famous, in the six years after his death, the family only sold five pots, an average of less than one pot a year.

If it weren't for this young returned overseas Chinese, I don't know when the seven pots made by my father will be sold.

The price of three hundred can be said to be a happy one.

Yang Jing carefully put the packed seven boxes into the bucket of the tricycle, and then dragged Mr. Zhu to move on.

The next target is naturally Master Gu Jingzhou's house.

Master Zhu and Master Gu are close friends, they are fellow villagers on the same street. Although Master Zhu is more than ten years older than Master Gu, this does not affect the friendship between the two.

Especially after liberation, the Seven Old Zishas responded to the call of the country and established the Shushan Ceramics Production Cooperative, and the two friends became colleagues directly. Especially with the other four of the Zisha Seven Elders passing away one after another, the friendship among the remaining ones among them is even more precious.

As for Yang Jing, of course he also wanted to see Gu Jingzhou, a master figure in the Zisha art world, with his own eyes. It was a great honor for Yang Jing to meet such a true master.

But unfortunately, Yang Jing's wish was not fulfilled, because when Yang Jing took Mr. Zhu to Master Gu's residence, he learned that Mr. Zhu had actually gone to the province for a meeting.

You must know that Master Gu is less than 70 years old this year. Although he has not yet served as the director of the Yixing Zisha Research Institute, he is already a national-level arts and crafts artist at this time. Compared with the other six Zisha Seven Elders, except Master Jiang Rong Jiang who is a little younger than Master Gu, the other five masters are much older than Master Gu, and four of them have passed away.

Therefore, as the leader of the Yixing Zisha industry, Master Gu still has a lot of things to do. No, he just went to the provincial meeting with his apprentice Master Xu Hantang two days ago, and he hasn't come back yet.

Master Gu was not here, which made Yang Jing very disappointed, but because of the presence of Mr. Zhu, Yang Jing's purpose of this trip did not fail.

As a good friend of Master Gu, when Master Zhu came to Master Gu's house, it was like coming to his own home. Master Zhu also knew all the purple clay pots in Master Gu's house, and he knew which ones could be sold and which ones could not.

The two masters live not far from each other, as long as there is nothing wrong, the two masters will get together to chat and discuss, so the two masters are very clear about each other's ideas and works.

Making purple clay teapots is a very labor-intensive thing, and of course, it will also cost a certain amount of money. These masters are not gods who do not eat fireworks in the world. They also need to eat, drink and sleep. Naturally, they also need a certain amount of funds to maintain their lives and careers.

So the masters usually sell their works to others. Of course, this kind of situation mostly happened in recent years. In that buzzing era, no one dared to sell purple clay pots privately, which would be regarded as capital The tail of doctrine was cut off.

Although he didn't meet his favorite Master Gu, Yang Jing also gained a lot in Master Gu's house. Under Master Zhu's instruction, Yang Jing spent 3,000 yuan to purchase ten sets of Master Gu's works.

Four of these ten sets of pots are complete sets, and six are single pots.

Among the four sets of purple clay teapots, the one with the largest number of teapots is the set of eleven teapots, which is a complete set of eleven teapots consisting of one pot, five teacups and five cup holders. .

Lao Gu made several sets of this set of pots. At first, this set of pots was the work of Lao Gu and Professor Gao Zhuang after more than 20 years of deliberation. The first set was very popular after it was made, so Later, Lao Gu made a few more sets to give to friends, and now he has two sets left, and I will sell you one set. Master Zhu explained to Yang Jing from the side.

These words are not nonsense. After they design a set of works like this kind of Zisha masters and make them, as long as the response is good enough, these masters will often make a few more sets in private, whether it is collection or gift. Friends, they are all useful.

Just like this set of teapots, Master Gu will definitely not only make one set. Of course, Yang Jing doesn't know how many sets he has made in total, but what is certain is that the price of Master Gu's works has not yet started to soar. In the past, many people who had obtained a set of pots probably used them for themselves. If they were damaged during use, it would not be enough to make a complete set.

For three hundred yuan to be able to win such a set of teapots, Yang Jing felt a little dreamy. You must know that there is only one set of Gu Jingzhou Tibi pots preserved in later generations. That is because that set of pots was collected in the Yixing Zisha Museum. Later, at Poly's 2011 Autumn Art Auction, that set of pots was sold. The sky-high price of 17.825 million yuan.

But now, three hundred yuan can buy such a set of pots, which is simply a big leak.

If you don’t have money, put it aside first. This is a teapot made by Master Gu himself. Thirty years after getting it back, this is the second complete set of Gu Jingzhou’s Tibi teapot in the world. The collection value is naturally it goes without saying.

In addition to this set of teapots with the largest number of teapots, Yang Jing also got a set of Yunjian Ruyi three-headed teapots, one pot with two cups.

There is also a set of teapots with high-waisted beams and no headgear, one pot with two cups and two holders.

The last set of purple sand teapots is a set of teapots with rain and star beams and nine heads, with four cups and four holders in one pot.

Later generations have only seen single-handled high-waisted girder ewers and Yulu Tianxing girder ewers, but I have never seen a set of girder ewers.

As for the remaining six single pots, they are also carefully crafted by Master Gu, a Zile pot, a water chestnut pot, a flat belly pot, an antique Ruyi pot, a melon pear pot and a Very rare ink clay Junyu pot.

These ten sets of pots are all fine works of Master Gu, among which several single pots are mostly antique pots, which are of great collection value.

Being able to buy these ten sets of pots at a price of 3,000 yuan, Yang Jing has nothing to say. If thirty years later, let alone three thousand yuan, even if I give you thirty million yuan, you will be able to buy that set of Yulutianxing nine-headed teapot without seeing it
