I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

After hearing what the young man said, Gu Hengzhi's previous happy mood disappeared immediately.

He bought a bowl for 800 yuan, but someone else sold it for 3000 yuan. No one was in a good mood.

"Don't be depressed, Lao Gu. You still have dozens of them. When we get out of here, we can contact the foreigner and sell him the bowls. Then you can make a lot more money."

Gu Hengzhi shook his head: "I don't know that foreigner, how can I strike up a conversation with him?"

Wenshan smiled and said, "You don't know me, but I do."

Then I realized what happened just now, Wenshan waving to Robert.

So Robert walked towards Wenshan’s antique shop, and the people in the antique shop opposite also noticed that Robert walked towards the antique shop opposite.

But he didn't think about anything else. He still thought that Robert wanted to go into the antique shop in Wenshan to look at stone carvings and such. After all, this foreigner would buy anything as long as it was good.

Robert entered the "Shiyazhai" in Wenshan.

"Boss, do you have anything good?"

Wenshan smiled and said, "Mr. Robert, you bought two blue and white bowls across the street, right?"

Robert was a little unhappy after hearing this, and said directly: "Boss, it's not good for you to pry into other people's privacy like this!"

Wenshan didn't care about Robert's unhappiness, he knew that foreigners were straightforward.

"Mr. Robert, don't be upset. I am introducing you to a seller. Mr. Gu has a lot of the blue and white bowls you are selling. I wonder if you like them or not. Do you want to buy some?"

Robert was originally quite unhappy, but now he heard Uncle Wen say that the blue and white bowl he bought was still in the home of this seemingly gentle middle-aged man.

The expression on his face immediately turned from dark clouds to bright clouds: "Boss, you are not lying, are you? You still have the blue and white porcelain bowl from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty that I want to buy? You want the official kiln ones, I don't want the folk kiln ones!"

Wenshan smiled and said, "Of course they are from the official kiln. The two bowls you bought were given to the antique shop across the street by my friend."

Robert was a smart man. After hearing what Wenshan said, he knew that the person who bought the antiques must have felt that he was at a disadvantage, so he stopped him outside.

Robert walked up and shook Gu Hengzhi's hand:

"Excuse me sir, I don't know how many bowls like this you have at home, but as long as you are willing to sell them to me.

I will buy all of them for you at the same price as I paid for the blue and white bowl next door today. What do you think?"

Gu Hengzhi couldn't accept the foreigner's enthusiasm at once, and he struggled to pull his hand out of his hairy hand.

"I have 50 or 60 bowls like this at home, and they come in different colors and patterns!"

When Robert heard that there were fifty or sixty such bowls, with different patterns and varieties, his eyes suddenly showed the eyes of a chimpanzee.

Gu Hengzhi was even a little scared. Why was this foreigner's gaze so terrifying?

Robert was a little out of breath when he spoke: "Sir, I want all the blue and white bowls you have. I'll buy one for 3000 yuan. I won't bargain. I'll go to your house right away to take a look, okay?"

Although Gu Hengzhi was delighted, 3000 yuan was a lot of money, but he still had to go back and discuss with his wife and son, wondering whether they would sell it to foreigners.

Moreover, would they all be sold to foreigners at once? What if his son only wanted to buy part of it instead of all of it? After all, this was brought back by his son, so he still wanted to go back and discuss it with his son.

"Oh, foreign gentleman, I have other things to do today. Let's meet at Mr. Wenshan's antique shop tomorrow. I will bring my porcelain over!"

Robert is also an expert on China and is familiar with the Chinese character. He now estimates that the goods of this gentleman may be of unknown origin, so he is unwilling to go to his home to do business with him.

He still asked: "Sir, how come your family has so many official kiln porcelains? Logically speaking, this kind of porcelain is only available in the inner court of the imperial palace. Even if ordinary people have it, they would only have one or two at most!"

Gu Hengzhi rarely told a lie:

"We recently discovered an old residence of a Ming Dynasty prince. This residence was completely buried due to a major earthquake during the Ming Dynasty.

These blue and white bowls were given by the emperor to the prince at that time, so the number is relatively large. Because of the earthquake, the palace was buried by a landslide, so you can see that its appearance is very perfect, and there is no sign of use at all! "

Robert knew that a major earthquake had indeed occurred in China during the late Ming Dynasty, and the death toll was said to have reached nearly one million.

As a result, mountains and rivers deformed and shifted, and it is possible that a royal palace was buried.

In fact, Robert was just asking out of curiosity. He didn't care where these things came from. As long as he could buy them back and sell them to European museums, he would make a lot of money. Everything else could be ignored.

Robert finally made it to today after returning home. He hurried to Wenshan's antique shop early this morning.

After Wen Guotai brought Robert in, he went out to do his own thing. It was not easy for him to get involved in the transaction between Gu Hengzhi and Robert, as it was a private matter between his father and Gu Hengzhi.

I believe that if this business transaction is successful, Gu Hengzhi should give them a considerable commission. After all, it is a rule in the antique business to use their venue for transactions, and generally a commission of between 5% and 10% is charged.

Robert saw 60 Zhengde blue and white official kiln pedestal bowls neatly arranged on several eight-immortal tables.

Robert suppressed his excitement and carefully took out a magnifying glass from his pocket.

Then he picked up the blue and white bowls on the Eight Immortals Table and looked at them one by one.

He was extremely careful as he was afraid that there might be some imitations mixed in these bowls. Each bowl cost 3000 dollars, which was not a small amount.

A bowl can be exchanged for a courtyard house in Beijing.

Wenshan and Gu Heng did not bother Robert. They just sat beside him drinking tea and chatting.

It took Robert a full hour to finish looking at these 60 large blue and white bowls. He breathed a sigh of relief only after he confirmed that these bowls were all authentic Zhengde official kiln products.

"Not bad, not bad. These bowls were all unearthed from the same place, and they are all authentic Zhengde blue and white official kiln bowls. They are especially complete, large, and exquisite! They are indeed very rare!"

Wenshan took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Robert, since these items are so exquisite and rare, shouldn't you give more? For example, 3500 yuan each?"

Robert shook his head like a rattle: "No no no, boss, we have to keep our word. We agreed yesterday that a bowl would cost 3000 yuan. I won't bargain. Just 3000 yuan. I'll take it all!"

Gu Hengzhi didn't say anything. He was already very satisfied with 3000 yuan. After all, he sold one to someone for 800 yuan yesterday.

"Boss, do you want US dollars or silver dollars?"

Gu Hengzhi is not interested in foreign currencies because they may fluctuate at any time, so the ocean is more reliable.

"We only want dollars. We don't know the exchange value of foreign currencies!"

Robert didn't say much and directly gave Gu Hengzhi a silver note worth 18 oceans.

Robert and his family came here by car today.

Otherwise, how could he take these 60 big bowls back?

Wenshan asked the shop assistants to pack the 60 large bowls neatly and put them into several wooden boxes, and also added a lot of old clothes, straw and other things to prevent shock.

After putting the blue and white bowl away, Robert shook hands with both men.

Especially to Gu Hengzhi, he said enthusiastically:

"Mr. Gu, if you find this kind of Ming Dynasty official kiln porcelain at home in the future, you must let me know if you want to sell it. I will definitely buy it from you at a high price."

Gu Hengzhi nodded: "Mr. Robert, if I find anything else, I will let Brother Wenshan inform you!"
