Happy Tycoon

The Haisiheyuan bought by Yang Jing in the 1980s, although it cannot be compared with those palaces, is definitely considered a big courtyard. Therefore, the main house of this house, that is, the north house, has a total of nine rooms.

In the north house of the Siheyuan in old Yanjing, apart from the main hall in the middle or also called the ancestral hall, the most honorable one is the east house of the ancestral hall. In China, the left has been respected since ancient times, so the east room on the left side of the main hall is larger than the west room in terms of area. Moreover, the East House is usually the residence of the person with the highest seniority or status in the family.

But no one lives in this east room, that's because Pete Wu understands this. Although they also live in this house, but this house belongs to the boss after all, if the boss does not come to live in, who would dare to live in the east room?

Therefore, this room was used by Pete Wu to hold old furniture.

Pete Wu placed the Luohan bed made of lobular red sandalwood and the Babu bed made of Lao Haihuang in the Ming Dynasty in this room. If it wasn't that the room couldn't be opened, he even wanted to put the arhat bed inlaid with all kinds of treasures in this room.

But that's it, besides these two beds, the two sets of Ming and Qing tables and chairs that Lao Na bought before were also placed in this room by Pete Wu.

Old Xiao and Old Guo were naturally fascinated. With their skills, they can naturally tell the authenticity of these old furniture at a glance. These old furniture are definitely old objects with wide open doors. It is really rare to see Ming and Qing furniture in such good condition nowadays.

Especially the arhat bed made of lobular red sandalwood and aniseed material is rare in the world.

Mr. Guo looked at it for a long time, then raised his head reluctantly, turned his head and asked, Brother Wu, could it be that Mr. that bought this arhat bed as well? Mr. Guo and Pete Wu were about the same age. Out of respect, Guo Laocai called Pete Wu as Angkor.

Pete Wu quickly waved his hand and said, Brother Guo, don't call me brother, you can just call me Old Wu, I feel at ease.

Just kidding, the four old people in front of me are the masters of the new boss, and Pete Wu dare not hold him accountable in front of them.

After a pause, Pete Wu continued: This bed was indeed bought by Mr. Na back then. At that time, Mr. Na saw this Arhat bed and the old Haihuang Babu from a waste collection station. bed, so he spent three hundred yuan to buy these two beds.

Hearing the price, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo couldn't help but shook their heads with wry smiles. The two of them couldn't estimate the price of the arhat bed made of small-leaved red sandalwood, but they could estimate the price of the Huanghuali babu bed from the Ming Dynasty.

According to the current market conditions, if this huanghuali babu bed is put up for auction, the minimum starting price will not be less than 50 million. As for how much money can be shot, they are not sure in their hearts. If you catch up with a big boss who likes Ming Dynasty furniture, it may not be difficult for this Babu bed to fetch 100 million or 200 million yuan.

The main reason is that the appearance of these two beds is so good, and Ming Dynasty furniture with such a good appearance is hardly seen nowadays.

The two of them stayed in the room for a while, and then reluctantly followed Pete Wu to continue walking eastward, through a door, and came to the second east room.

As soon as they entered the door, Mr. Liu and Mr. Guo immediately said in surprise: Hey, why did you come here for that old horse's bed with a hundred treasures inlaid with arhats?

As soon as the words were finished, the two shook their heads almost simultaneously and said, No, this is not Lao Ma's bed with a hundred treasures inlaid with arhats. The appearance of Lao Ma's bed is not as good as this one!

These two sentences were almost spoken in unison. After finishing speaking, the two elders looked at each other and burst out laughing.

The two old men leaned together and carefully looked at this large bed with a hundred treasures inlaid with arhats. After a long time, Mr. Liu said: Old Guo, you said that if the old horse sees this bed, he will not accept it. Will you go back and dismantle the Baibao inlaid arhat bed in his museum?

Mr. Guo also laughed and said: This matter can't be said for sure. Ma always regards his Arhat bed as a treasure, but the quality of his Arhat bed is far worse than this bed!

Yang Jing did know who the old horse the two elders were talking about was Mr. Ma Weidu, a famous folk collector in China. The first private museum in China was opened by this old man, and in the old man's museum, the treasure of the town hall should be the bed of arhats embedded with hundreds of treasures.

But to be honest, the appearance of the bed with a hundred treasures inlaid with arhats in Mr. Ma's hand is far inferior to the appearance of the bed he bought himself. The specifications of the two beds are almost exactly the same, but the appearance of the bed in my hand far surpasses the one in the hands of Mr. Ma.

Speaking of which, this bed was bought by Yang Jing based on Mr. Ma's experience back then.

The process by which Mr. Ma scoured the arhat bed inlaid with hundreds of treasures has almost become a classic in the circle, and Yang Jing naturally knows it. So when he returned to Yanjing in the 1980s, he took the old one to the Yanjing Hardwood Furniture Factory.

That time when I went to Yanjing Hardwood Furniture Factory, in the cafeteria of the factory, Yang Jing did see the bed with a hundred treasures inlaid with arhats that Mr. Ma bought later, but at that time the bed was about to fall apart, so Yang Jing didn't like it.

Later, the holy ring spent 2% of the energy to lead Yang Jing to the same arhat bed, and then Yang Jing discovered the current bed in the warehouse of the hardwood furniture factory. At the same time, a pair of small-leaf red sandalwood chairs, four Laohaihuang armchairs, an old Haihuang Eight Immortals table, and a complete set of Qing Qianlong imperial red sandalwood cloisonné enamel sapphire blue ground with a hundred treasures inlaid with the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Twelve Screen screen.

In the end, Yang Jing spent 1,000 US dollars in foreign exchange certificates to bring back all these treasures worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Although the specifications of the Arhat Bed with Hundred Treasures Inlaid with Arhats are much higher than that of the small-leaf red sandalwood Arhat Bed that I saw just now, but with the Arhat Bed made of small-leaf red sandalwood in front, this excellent-looking Hundred Treasures Inlaid Arhat Bed It didn't attract the interest of the two masters a bit.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Baibao Embedded Arhat Bed was not allowed to be used by the royal family, even the prince, so this kind of bed was actually only used by the emperor, queen, or imperial concubine. One of the very important reasons why Yan Song was beheaded back then was that Yan Song actually used this kind of treasure-embedded arhat bed in his own home, and as a result, people caught the pigtail.

You said that you, Yan Song, were the master of one person under one person and above ten thousand people. If you really want to be the emperor, then you simply rebel. Why do you sleep in this kind of bed secretly from home? The result was fine, the pigtail was caught by someone, and finally the emperor chopped off his head with a knife.

In fact, speaking of it, the small-leaf red sandalwood arhat bed I saw just now was probably used by an emperor in the Ming Dynasty. After all, it was an arhat bed made of aniseed material of lobular red sandalwood, and ordinary princes and ministers probably did not have the financial resources to build such an arhat bed.

In this room, apart from this excellent-looking bed with a hundred treasures inlaid with arhats, the few pieces of furniture that Yang Jing and Lao Na scavenged from the warehouse of Yanjing Hardwood Furniture Factory were all placed in this room.

Because of the small-leaf red sandalwood Luohan bed before, in this room, Liu Lao and Guo Lao paid more attention to the four sets of Ming Dynasty Laohai yellow armchairs and the Qianlong imperial red sandalwood filigree. The enamel sapphire blue ground with hundreds of treasures is inlaid on the twelve screens of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

This style of armchair is obviously different from other shapes of Ming Dynasty Laohai yellow armchairs. Currently there are only eight pieces in the world, and four of them are abroad, and the four domestic ones are not complete sets.

That is to say, this set of four Ming Dynasty Laohai yellow armchairs is currently the only complete set of Ming Dynasty Laohai yellow armchairs of this shape in the world.

This is the only one in the world, so the value is huge.

As for the red sandalwood cloisonné enamel sapphire blue screen made by the Emperor Qianlong with a hundred treasures inlaid with eight immortals crossing the sea and twelve screens, it is so good in appearance and of such a large size, it is extremely rare in the world. Maybe there is only such a fan in the world. screen.

Anyone who plays with antique works of art knows that nothing should be linked to the only one in the world. Once linked to those four words, its value will be multiplied and multiplied. And the set of four Ming Dynasty old sea yellow armchairs in this room and this Qianlong imperial red sandalwood cloisonné enamel sapphire blue screen with a hundred treasures inlaid with eight immortals crossing the sea and twelve screens, it is estimated that they can be linked to the only one in the world.

The four masters stayed in the nine north rooms for more than two hours, and then visited the other rooms separately. Then Yang Jing asked Pete Wu to open the door to the basement, and led the four masters into the basement .

If it was said that admiring those treasures in the room just now made the four masters lose their minds, then when the four masters saw the treasures in the basement, they almost had a heart attack.

This basement of more than 2,000 square meters has long been transformed into rooms, each of which is 40 to 50 square meters. Under the control of a good central air conditioner, the temperature and humidity of the basement are very stable. The maintenance is excellent, and the environment is not worse than those museums.

The most important thing is that there are too many treasures stored in the basement.

Hardwood furniture, porcelain, bronzes, calligraphy and paintings, ancient rare books, pottery, jade, stones, seal stones, four treasures of the study, Buddha statues, gilt objects and other miscellaneous items from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties can be seen in this huge basement. And the number of each kind is not one or two, each kind has several pieces at least, and there are hundreds of pieces.

In particular, the amount of porcelain was so large that the eyeballs of Fourth Master Cai Yi almost fell down.

In seven or eight of the basements, there are rows of Bogu racks, all of which are porcelain.

From the five kilns of the Song Dynasty to the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, there are thousands of pieces, all of which are high-quality goods, and many of them are national treasures! These porcelains alone are enough to open a small porcelain museum.

The four masters, Ge Ge and Guo Xiaoxiang were all stunned.
