Chapter 54 Foreign Antique Dealer Robert

"Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. All your Western medicines must be kept by me. You can't sell them to anyone else. As for the price, I'll report it to Yang Juntian and let him decide!"

Chen Sijia said seriously.

"And I'm telling you seriously, you'd better not get too close to Master Ba. Although the people in Shancheng are cooperating with Master Ba on the surface, they are secretly discussing how to destroy Master Ba's army behind the scenes."

Gu Wenxuan sneered after hearing this: "The reason why those people in your party and country failed in the end is that they were always on guard against others and preserved their own strength. As a result, everyone was disunited and no one was united with your principal. Failure is inevitable!"

Chen Sijia quickly hushed.

"Little spy, please keep your voice down and do not criticize the Central Committee. Do not think that we can speak freely just because we are far away from the Central Committee. You must know that the Military Control Commission personnel are everywhere!"

Gu Wenxuan doesn't care about the Military Control Commission.

"You make it sound like your Military Control Commission is omnipotent. If they have such ability, why don't you go to the Japanese hospital and buy those medicines for free? Why do you come to me to buy things? Isn't this crazy?"

Chen Sijia said angrily: "Believe it or not, if you get shot by someone, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Gu Wenxuan laughed wildly and said, "If you, the military commander, shoot my black gun, I will chop him to pieces even if I chase him to the King of Hell!"

Looking at Gu Wenxuan's smug look, Chen Sijia snorted, twisted her butt, called a rickshaw, and left in a flash.

After seeing Chen Sijia leave, Xiangzi slowly walked over and got on the car, and the two of them hurried home again.

Returned to home in Liulichang.

Gu Wenxuan also ordered Xiangzi to find two horse-drawn carriages to deliver some of his guns to the Yulong Temple in Fangshan.

The two carriages had passes from the detective team, so no one questioned them when they left the city gate.

When he returned home, his father Gu Hengzhi reported to him the process of selling the Zhengde blue and white bowl.

This morning, Gu Hengzhi excitedly asked his assistant to pack up his 60 blue and white porcelain bowls and deliver them safely to the antique shop in Wenshan.

The Wenshan family’s antique shop is called “Shiyazhai”.

They mainly deal in stone tools, such as Buddha statues, stone water tanks, stone flower pots, etc.

Of course, there are also some unearthed Tang Sancai. At this time, Tang Sancai was more popular because wealthy businessmen in Europe and the United States liked to collect Tang Sancai.

Domestic collectors, on the contrary, do not like these Tang Sancai ceramics because they are funerary objects.

"Shiyazhai" also has a store in front and a yard in the back, a courtyard with three entrances.

Wenshan led Gu Hengzhi into their second courtyard.

Because there were many people and gossips in the shop, it would not be good if they were seen, so they placed a few round tables in the second courtyard. They sat in the courtyard and chatted, and asked their men to place 60 Ming Dynasty Zhengde blue and white bowls on the round tables one by one.

Most of these 60 Zhengde blue and white bowls are painted with blue and white cloud dragon patterns, and a few have landscapes and figures, and each one is extremely beautiful.

Wenshan also couldn't let it go, and he said to Gu Hengzhi with envy.

"I say, Lao Gu, your son has been incredibly lucky recently. How come he got dozens of such good bowls at once? And they are in such exquisite condition. There aren't many Zhengde official kiln pier-shaped bowls. I don't have much money, otherwise I would buy 10 or 8 of them just to play with!"

Gu Hengzhi also said happily: "Uncle Wen, my son seems to have been lucky recently. He accidentally dug up this batch of goods when others were looking at Feng Shui.

It is said that these things were buried underground due to landslides during the Ming Dynasty, so you see they are still brand new!"

"What did you say? My nephew now understands Feng Shui. Oh my god, you used to scold him for being useless in front of me. If my son had such a promising future, I would laugh myself awake in my sleep!"

Gu Hengzhi didn't know whether what his son said was true or false, but he still repeated Gu Wenxuan's original words.

At that time, Gu Wenxuan and his father were doing feng shui for others, and they discovered these treasures after digging out the old foundation.

Just when Gu Hengzhi was chatting with Wenshan.

Wenshan's son Wen Guotai led in a tall foreigner with a hooked nose.

This foreigner was quite enthusiastic and greeted Gu Hengzhi and Wenshan warmly when he saw them.

“Hello, my two Chinese friends, it’s great to see you again!”

This man is German and his name is Robert.

I focus on oriental archaeology, so I am very interested in cultural relics, and I have contacts with many large museums in Europe.

The large museums in Europe all hope to purchase various ancient artifacts from the East to enrich their collections.

So Robert was in Peking, studying the history of Eastern culture.

At the same time, he was also doing various cultural relics business with major museums in Europe and making a lot of money.

He was visiting antique shops in Liulichang in Beijing. Yesterday, he saw a blue and white bowl from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty in an antique shop. It was an official kiln product, and he bought it with great delight.

After some negotiation, I bought it for 3000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, after the antique shop owner sold one, he brought another one.

I added another 200 yuan and bought it for 3200 yuan.

What the antique shop owner meant was that the prices for each piece were different, and the price of a pair was obviously higher than the price of one piece alone.

Robert was no fool and knew that this was a shrewd business move by the antique shop.

But Robert didn't care about the price increase these merchants charged.

Because Uncle Luo knew that this kind of Dun bowl from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty was quite common among the people.

But those were all from folk kilns. It is really rare to see such good quality official kiln products like this one. Because if he took this kind of official kiln pedestal bowl back to Europe and sold it to those museums, it would at least sell for 5,000 US dollars, and 5,000 US dollars is worth 10,000 dollars.

Of course, this is the number after he exchanged US dollars and silver dollars.

Just as Robert happily walked out of the antique shop carrying two blue and white bowls packed in a very exquisite box.

Not far away he saw another antique shop owner who was doing stone carvings, waving at him from a distance.

Robert occasionally bought some stone carvings, and he thought the boss had good stuff to sell him.

Of course, this boss is Wenshan.

This was because after Gu Hengzhi sold the two large blue and white bowls, he was in high spirits and went to find Wenshan to play, wanting to play two games of chess before returning.

Gu Hengzhi talked about how he sold two blue and white bowls in the antique shop opposite.

Wenshan did not blame his old friend for not selling him any treasures. Indeed, his family did not deal in porcelain. They mainly dealt in stone carvings of Buddha.

The two old friends were sitting in their antique shop, talking about these things, when they saw a foreigner walk into the antique shop opposite.

Wenshan knew this foreigner, although he was not particularly familiar with him, but he knew that this foreigner often bought antiques on this street and especially liked blue and white porcelain.

The two of them sat in the shop and watched the business across the street, although they couldn't see clearly because of their shadows.

But it was clear Robert was buying two large bowls.

"Hey, Lao Gu! It seems that this foreigner is buying the two bowls you sold in the antique shop across the street. I wonder how much they are for."

Wenshan's eyes rolled and he quickly called a waiter in his shop.

"Xiao Sanzi, go to the window of the antique shop opposite and eavesdrop. How much did they sell those two bowls for? Be careful not to get caught!"

This little Shanzi was an apprentice in their antique shop, about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Xiao Sanzi agreed and grabbed a little cat that was squatting on the counter.

He walked out of the store and threw the little cat on the ground. Of course, the little cat ran forward after being thrown on the ground, and he pretended to chase it from behind.

You and your cat soon chased each other to the window sill of the antique shop opposite.

Xiao Sanzi squatted down, grabbed the little cat, and played with it.

Of course, the people in the antique shop opposite were carefully discussing business with the foreigner Robert, and still did not pay attention to the situation on the hill outside.

After a while, Xiao Sanzi caught the little cat and returned to their antique shop.

"Boss! They bought two more blue and white bowls. One was 3200 yuan, and the other was 6200 yuan. A total of two bowls were sold for yuan!"

The big boss is Wenshan.
