The years when I was reborn as a giant in the antique world

Although the blue-and-white porcelain from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was not as exquisite as the one from the Yongxuan period, this cloud-dragon-patterned plate belongs to the official kiln porcelain, which is much more exquisite than the folk kiln.

Its enamel is uniform and plump, the glaze color is clear, and slightly blue; the dragon shape is located in the center of the plate, with its head held high and its chest high, with a vigorous posture, surrounded by auspicious cloud patterns, rough and free brushwork, pure blue and white hair color, and appropriate shades.

The bottom of the plate is written in blue and white regular script with "Daming Wanli Annual System", which is considered a good official kiln product.

The most important thing is that this is the first time Yun Zhou has repaired porcelain other than monochrome glaze, and under the guidance of Master Feng, he learned how to complement and color this blue and white porcelain, which can be said to be a huge harvest!

"Turn on the light to see the effect." Master Feng said with a smile.

"Okay." Yun Zhou turned on the purple light flashlight, and moved a little bit along the repaired place on the edge. If he hadn't just turned the gap to his hand, he might not be able to find where the repaired place is, and he would not be able to find it with the naked eye. of.

Under the illumination of the purple light, there is only a slight trace of the repaired place. After two or three months, the glaze color settles down, and there will be no difference at that time.

Within a month after that, Yunzhou will supplement and paint the chipped porcelains that were auctioned at the Golden Harvest Auction one by one until the restoration is completed.

Since most of them are monochromatic glazes and the gaps are relatively small, the young man repaired them all with his vigorous energy and patience of sitting for a day. The techniques of making molds and scraping putty have also become more skillful through repeated repetitions.

Of course, both the preparation of the adhesive and the preparation of the glaze color are all carried out under the guidance of Master Feng, and he cannot make it alone at present.

Yun Zhou looked at the top two rows of collections in Duobao Pavilion and rolled his eyes with a smile, feeling a strong sense of pride in his heart.

Tang Xing kiln rhombic flower wash, unrestored Ru kiln azure glaze wash in the Northern Song Dynasty, silver rabbit cup in the Southern Song Dynasty, a pair of green glazed bird food jars from the Longquan kiln, blue and white jade pot spring vases in the Yuan Dynasty, a large plate with cloud and dragon patterns in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and Kangxi period in the Qing Dynasty The Sky Blue Glazed Hundred Bar Jar...

Although there are only a dozen or so pieces, basically all dynasties have them, and 90% of them are high-quality official kilns!Few collectors can achieve such a high quality rate. After all, there are many folk kilns on the market, and it is rare to see official kilns made by the imperial palace.

In addition, there are white jade panlong paperweights from the Ming Dynasty, huanghuali worship boxes from the mid-Qing Dynasty, and a master-level purple sand pot in the living room.As a newcomer who has entered the collection industry for less than a year, it is definitely worthy of praise.

Except for Ru Porcelain, which has not yet been restored, the others are exquisite and complete, which is pleasing to the eye and fills Yun Zhou with joy.Every time I go home, I have to appreciate it. Perhaps this is the sense of accomplishment that every collector will have.

As for the Ru kiln's azure glaze wash, Yunzhou is collecting materials under Master Feng's guidance, and several pieces have not yet been sent from the locals. Once the materials are collected, it will be completely restored within two months.

During the rapid growth of the teenager, when the time came to March, the weather gradually warmed up.

Yun Zhou took off his heavy down jacket and put on a khaki cashmere coat.

The well-tailored coat looks slender and tall, and the belt around the waist outlines the tight waist, making the complexion more fair. Under the small V-neck sweater, a small section of delicate collarbone is exposed, showing a touch of sexiness in the green.

The brown-black shattered hair was slightly blown by the cold wind, revealing a pair of clear water-like eyes under the shattered hair, with a slight smile on the lips, looking sunny and pure.

The boy's clean demeanor attracted many people's attention, and they all whispered behind his back.

"Fuck, is this a freshman in elementary school?"

"Oh, pure and lustful, I can do it!"

"I know him. His name is Yunzhou. I don't know if he has a girlfriend."

"I heard that he shared a dormitory with Senior Colonel Xu—"

"I'll go, this dormitory looks too good."

Yun Zhou brought lunch for Hong Hai, and was stopped by Xu Ze when he was about to go to the library, "Yun Zhou, wait a minute, I have something to ask you."

The two came to the balcony.

Xu Ze stepped lightly on the bottom of the fence with his long legs, and rested his arms on the railing. He looked sideways at the young man with more outstanding features, and his stern features softened slightly: "The Burmese public offering is about to start in ten days or so." , do you want to go with us? Grandpa hopes to invite you to come. "

A few months ago, the scene of the teenager betting on two top-quality jadeites is still vivid, and it is precisely because of this that Mr. Xu asked Xu Ze to invite Yunzhou to participate in this Burmese public offering.

If you want to participate in the public offering, you must have an invitation letter from the Myanmar Jade Center Committee, or an invitation letter from the Jewelry Association. Not just anyone can go.

The organizing committee sent two invitation letters to Handed down Jewelry a month ago, and one invitation letter can bring two people to participate.

Before, it was their grandpa and grandson who brought two stone gambling experts there, but thinking of Yunzhou's unfathomable luck, Mr. Xu made a decisive decision to bring only one stone gambling expert and replace the other one with Yunzhou.

"Burmese public offering?" The young man had only heard the name before, and had no understanding of the specific situation at all.

"Well." Xu Ze explained in a low voice: "Myanmar is the world's largest producer of jadeite. 95% of the jadeite jewelry on the market comes from Myanmar. Its jadeite mines are controlled by the state, and private transactions are not usually allowed. It can be done through public offering.

There are two public offerings in Myanmar every year, in March and November, which usually last for 3-11 days. This time the public offering lasts for 5 days.For example, domestic jewelers and some jade wool buyers rely on public offerings to obtain raw materials, and the same is true for handed down jewelry. "

However, the achievements of the jewelry company in the Myanmar market will determine its development in the next few years.

If you buy good-quality jadeite, the problem of shortage of raw materials can be solved; if you don’t buy it, you will have a sad life in the future, and there is even a risk of bankruptcy.

In addition to the Burmese public market, the domestic A city public market is also imitated from the Burmese public market, but its scale is far inferior to the former.

Most of the raw materials in the public market in City A are hoarded by jade buyers in the public market in Myanmar, just to earn the difference after the price increases. After all, the price of rough stones is rising by more than 20% every year.

Therefore, it is conceivable how much Handed down Jewelry attaches great importance to this public offer.

Mr. Xu has been raising funds for the past two months. At that time, Handed down Jewelry will bring more than 80% of its current assets to Myanmar, just for this public offering to return with full rewards.

Yun Zhou thought for a while, 8 days is not too long, and it can greatly improve the horizon, so you can still go and have a look.

It would be even better if he could gamble on the increase in wool. After all, he has recently spent several million dollars, and repairing Ru porcelain is also a lot of money.

I remember that Mr. Feng said that now he only prepared monochrome glaze and blue and white restoration materials, so the items used are not too many.

But in the future, it will be necessary to repair pastels, multicolored colors, enamel colors, etc. with more complicated glaze colors. It will take a whole room to store all kinds of materials and tools, and there must be heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment to keep the indoor lighting intact and the temperature normal. .

Therefore, he had to prepare a separate laboratory to repair all kinds of porcelain, and the cost would probably not be low by then.

Yun Zhou thought, man is indeed a greedy creature, after having a lot of property, he wants to have more.

He looked at Xu Ze and said with a smile, "Thank you Grandpa Xu for the invitation. Do I need to make any preparations?"

Xu Ze: "I need to prepare some materials, a copy of your ID card, a copy of your passport, and four headshot photos. I will help you apply."

In addition to these materials, a minimum deposit of 20 yuan was required, but there was no need to tell the other party about this, Xu directly paid a deposit of 100 million yuan for him.

20 is just the minimum amount. Those like Xu who want to bid for the top bidder have to pay a deposit of no less than 10% of the purchase price in advance, so they have to pay tens of millions in the deposit alone.

"Okay." The boy nodded, these are ready-made and easy to obtain.He applied for a passport half a year ago, in order to participate in auctions or travel abroad in the future.

But besides that, he had to prepare some funds after he went back.

Yunzhou's original total assets were more than 6000 million, of which 1000 million was in the stock market, 1000 million was invested in real estate, plus 500 million was transferred to Yu Xinlan's account, and the expenses of purchasing antiques and restoring porcelain at auctions and in the countryside, Currently available funds are 3000 million.

His budget for this Burmese public offering is 500 million.

According to Xu Ze, the bidders of public offerings every year exceed 4.3 million yuan, and last year's bidders even set a record, reaching a sky-high price of [-] million yuan!He has never thought of competing for the first-class wool in the past. He only hopes to buy some good wool, which is enough to set up a laboratory.

Before leaving, Yun Zhou put incense on his father and Master Feng two more times, then looked at the portrait hanging on the wall that only he could see, and tightened his grip on the jade pendant around his neck, "Bei Ji, are you there?" ?”

"Yeah." A gust of yin blew, and a tall man appeared in front of him. The strong yin energy instantly filled the entire room, isolating it from the outside world.

The little silver dragon coiled around Yunzhou's wrist straightened up high, and excitedly shouted at Emperor Fengdu, "Wow~ (I've become a big silver dragon!)"

It has grown up, its length has changed from ten centimeters to twenty centimeters, and its body has also changed from the thickness of chopsticks to the thickness of a thumb, and it can wrap the boy's wrists together.

Bei Ji looked at the little silver dragon's shiny silver scales and thin lips, and felt that he was also being taken care of by the young man.

Yun Zhou helplessly looked at the little silver dragon who tied his wrist tightly, it was like wearing two silver handcuffs, which was weird.

But he didn't dare to break free forcibly, for fear of hurting the opponent's beautiful scales, so he could only let it be tied.

"Emperor, I'm going out for a week or so." The boy reported to his boyfriend, "Well, this time I'm with Xu Ze, but there are other people here, so don't be jealous."

Bei Ji immediately pursed his lips tightly, and looked at him intently with his deep eyes, showing a hint of grievance in his eyes.

Seeing such a handsome face with such eyes, Yun Zhou felt a little guilty inexplicably.But he had to go this time, so he had to coax: "Then, what do you want to do, as long as you don't ask too much——"

After a while, the boy blushed and straightened his neckline, and touched his slightly swollen lips. It seemed that he was going to wear a scarf when he went out this time.

**

On the same day, Mr. Xu took a 50-year-old stone gambling expert, together with Xu Ze and Yun Zhou, and the four of them boarded the plane to Myanmar.

They have to fly to City K first, and then fly from City K to City Y in Myanmar to participate in this public offering.

On the plane, Yunzhou met the stone gambling expert named Zhou Kuan under the introduction of Mr. Xu, who has been engaged in the stone gambling industry for nearly 30 years and is quite famous.

Eight years ago, he gambled on a piece of high-ice sungreen material at the Burmese public market, and it was sold at a price of 200 million. In the end, he solved eight pairs of high-ice sungreen bracelets and sold them sixteen to seventeen. A pendant with a total value of more than 6000 million, a full increase of more than 30 times.

Zhou Kuan also made a name for himself this time, and his betting increase rate has been maintained at around 30% since then, which is considered to be very strong in the general situation of ten bets and nine losses.

However, his performance in the past two years was not very good. Although he still maintained a certain betting rate, he did not solve the high-grade jadeite, which caused the handed down jewelry to face a shortage of raw materials. This time he came here to avenge his shame.

Zhou Kuan looked at the young man sitting across from him. He looked very young, maybe seventeen or eighteen years old. He was pretty good-looking, with handsome eyebrows and clean temperament. Even he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

It's just that he was very surprised. Mr. Xu left Lao Chai, a stone gambling expert who was on par with him, just to invite such a young man?What is so special about him?

"Xiaozhou, the journey is still far away, let's sleep for a while." Mr. Xu said kindly, with concern in his tone.

"Okay, Grandpa Xu, I'll sleep later." Yun Zhou looked at the scenery outside through the window, the thick clouds seemed to be within reach, and there was a taste of freedom that made people yearn for it.

And Zhou Kuan glanced at Yunzhou in surprise, it is definitely not easy for this young man to receive such care from Mr. Xu.

He inexplicably thought of the rare piece of glass-type imperial green jadeite. According to the people who saw it at the scene, it was extracted from the wool brought by a young man. Could it be him? !

Zhou Kuan was envious and jealous at the same time. He had never bet on top-level emeralds like emperor green for so many years. How could the other party's luck be so good?

Thinking of this, the way he looked at Yun Zhou changed completely, not as casually as before.However, he always believes that luck is only temporary, and betting on stones ultimately depends on experience to win.

I arrived in Myanmar in the afternoon, and there was an hour and a half time difference with Hua.

Several people got up early in the morning and sat on the plane for half a day, all looked exhausted, and soon checked into a nearby luxury hotel for rest.

At 8 a.m. the next day, the four came to the restaurant for breakfast.

The climate in Myanmar is hot and humid, today's temperature is as high as 28 degrees.Yun Zhou changed into a white shirt, buttoned up to the top one, and his shoes were changed into single shoes, which looked very refreshing.

There are many acquaintances in the restaurant, like Yufu Jewelry whom I have seen before, as well as Hongguang Jewelry and Lingyue Jewelry among the top ten jewelers, all brought stone gambling experts over.

The whole meal was full of tension. After all, they were all competitors, and they all hoped that this Burmese public offering would be rewarding, and they didn't want others to profit.

Many people also cast their eyes on Yunzhou, and paused at his young face, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of handed down jewels.

If Xu Ze is the heir of the Xu family, it's nothing more than to come here to learn a lot. Why did he bring a young man with him? He can't be an expert in stone gambling, right?Everyone speculated that it might be Mr. Xu's relatives or something.

At 9 a.m., the four of them took a rented car to the location of the Burmese company.

The entrance of an exhibition with tens of thousands of square meters is full of people. It can be said that there are huge crowds of people. It seems that there are many people participating.

There are many security guards with guns nearby, constantly maintaining order. Jewelers, jade merchants, etc. lined up in a long line and showed their invitations to enter the venue.

Yun Zhou also followed Mr. Xu into the exhibition hall. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw rows of tables covered with white plastic sheets, with large and small woolen materials on them, the large ones weighed several tons, and the small ones were only the size of a baby's fist. Under the illumination, it presents a bright color, which dazzles people's eyes.

This is simply an ocean of wool, with no end in sight.The boy took a cursory look, and found that the wool here is at least tens of thousands of yuan.

There is a staff guard at intervals behind the table, and there are guards patrolling from time to time. After all, it is a high-value cargo and no accidents are allowed.

Mr. Xu pointed to the wool and introduced to Yun Zhou: "This is the marked area, the quantity of wool is not much, accounting for about 20% of the total, every day from 3:5 to [-]:[-] in the afternoon, there will be batch bidding, just like the auction, the price is high Whoever wins.

The rest are all hidden bids, and if you like one, fill in your own psychological price and serial number on the bidding form, and put it into the corresponding bidding box.Because each other does not know the other party's bid, it is not known whether the bid has been won until the bid is opened.

see it?Here is the box. "

Yun Zhou followed the position pointed by Mr. Xu and saw rows of green standard boxes, which were similar to mailboxes.

The number of woolen materials is written on the label on the front of the standard box, and each is locked, leaving only a gap of about ten centimeters on the top, which is where the bidding form is placed.

"By the way, the hidden bids will be closed in batches starting from the evening of the fourth day, and the bids will be opened on the second day, so there is not much time to actually watch the market, so you must take good care of it."

After a brief introduction, Mr. Xu looked at the surging crowd and felt a little urgent in his heart, "Master Zhou and I will go to the hidden bid area first, Aze, you and Xiaozhou together." He said to Yunzhou: "If you have any questions, just ask Aze."

"Okay, Grandpa Xu." The young man nodded. On the first day, he still focused on observation, and if he encountered a suitable price, he could try to bid.

The hidden bid area is obviously a gathering place for bigwigs. Almost every bid king will be born from the hidden bid area, because the bidding method of hidden bid will make the price of wool higher. Sometimes No.1 and No.2 Bids can vary by more than ten times.

Xu Ze and Yun Zhou walked side by side, the little silver dragon on his wrist raised his body high and stared at this stern-eyed human, wishing to bite the other's wrist.

It has become longer now, and it can bite the other party as long as it gets close (〝▼皮▼).

The young man squeezed Xiao Yinlong's icy body indiscriminately, and after looking at a few pieces of wool, he said to Xu Ze: "Young Master, you can go and help Grandpa Xu, I'm fine by myself."

"...Well, if you have anything to do, just send me a message." Although he wanted to accompany the other party, this public offering is very important for handed down jewelry, and he really can't waste too much time here.

Yun Zhou began to look along a row of woolen fabrics, and there was a small sign next to each woolen fabric, which stated the number, number of pieces, weight and reserve price of the woolen fabric.

However, the reserve price can only be used as a reference, and the opening price is generally several times or even dozens of times higher.

The front ten pieces of wool are made of coarse leather and sand leather. There are basically no pine flower python belts on the surface, and there are many cracks. He used a strong light to move on the surface, but he did not see a little green, indicating that the background color is not good. .

Looking at the price, even the base price of this kind of wool is [-] yuan, Yun Zhou shook his head, it seems that the price of rough stones in the Burmese public market is still very high.

Continuing to walk in, the boy came to the wool material numbered 126.

This is a piece of wool made of yellow salt sand skin, in the shape of an irregular quadrilateral, about [-] centimeters long and seven or eight centimeters high.The sand layer on its surface is like salt grains, and it has a very strong sense of sand removal, indicating that the species is old.

There is a light green python band around the lower part, and the surrounding pine flowers are very light, almost without color.

There is an obvious crack in the middle of it that runs through the whole piece of wool. After the crack, a small part is scattered around, like chicken feet. This kind of crack is called chicken claw lock, which is destructive to jadeite.

As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of big cracks, be afraid of small locks." The crack in the middle is obvious, but the chicken claw lock at the back can't be seen if it penetrates into the interior.

Yunzhou lit the light along the shell, and only saw green around the python belt. The color was very bright, and the bottom should be sun green, but unfortunately, no color was seen in other parts.

He looked at the marked weight and price, and found that it was 5.4KG, with a base price of 10, and he thought the price was okay.

It should be because of the cracks and poor background color, otherwise the old material is quite valuable, after all, there is not much material in the old market now.

The little silver dragon flicked its tail cheerfully, and let out a childish 'oooh', excited to get rid of the annoying person.

It spit out the excess aura it absorbed before, and the aura penetrated into the wool in an instant, intertwining with the aura inside the emerald.

Yun Zhou only felt the aura surging in the place touched by his palm, and the ample aura surged like sea water, and it came in three overlapping waves, majestic!
