Chapter 802 Theory and Practical Combat

Author: Erzi Congzhou

This is said easily, but Lin Wanqiu's coming-of-age ceremony happened more than ten years ago. At that time, the income of ordinary people in Hong Kong was only a few hundred US dollars a month, and two thousand US dollars was their income in a year's junior year.

It would be even more unimaginable to move to the mainland.

Thinking about it again, even if Zhang Zongxian misdiagnosed this porcelain, it was still Su material, and Zhongming was still sure of it.

Two thousand US dollars was probably the normal price for high-quality Ming Dynasty porcelain in Hong Kong at that time.

Everyone congratulated Lin Wanqiu. It was obvious that this was the second important item in tomorrow's auction.

"Yes, if I had known these things, Brother Zhang wouldn't have put this jar out for his niece to see." Yang Yongde made a joke about Zhang Zongxian.

Seeing everyone who easily thought they had learned how to identify dragon patterns, Zhou Zhi suddenly became mischievous: "Now there is a dragon pattern artifact. If there is a lin, no wings, two legs, a curly grass tail, and a passion flower in its mouth, then we

What kind of dragon pattern should we think it is?"

"Huh?" Zhang Zongxian's brows suddenly wrinkled: "Young friend Zhou just said that a person without scales and wings is a Chi; a person without scales and wings is a Kui; a Lin with wings is a Ying; a Lin with no wings is a Dragon."

"But a dragon should have four legs, three, four, and five claws, and two horns. You have two legs, a curly grass tail, and a passion flower in its mouth. This..."

This is the difference between practice and theory. When Mr. Wang was giving lectures to Zhou Zhi, he once brought up this question to trouble Zhou Zhi.

Sure enough, this time everyone was stumped again. Some said it should be considered a dragon, some said it should be considered a Kui dragon, and some said there shouldn't be such a thing. If there is, then it should be considered a new species.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "There is another characteristic of Su Ma Li's green material. Every stroke of the brush is thick and has rust spots, which is called tin light."

Anzhai Eiichi suddenly said: "Yes, the tin shine of this artifact..."

After speaking, he bent down again and said, "Look sideways to the light. The tin light overlaps the lower body of this Kui dragon, like it is covered with thick scales. This is... the upper body is like a beast, and the lower body is like a dragon!"

Lin Wanqiu couldn't help but be horrified: "Zhou Zhi, you didn't look at this thing carefully, did you? How did you know?!"

"I know a little bit of calligraphy and Chinese painting. Based on my knowledge of calligraphy and Chinese painting, I can infer how this dragon was drawn. Although it seems to have no scales, in fact, the craftsman still drew the lower body of the Kui dragon according to the drawing method of a horned dragon.

Yes, but I used a thick brush to make the scales cover each other and look like a whole."

"Based on the characteristics of the Su material, it can be imagined that the places where the glaze is stacked on the dragon's body will inevitably form the effect of continuous tin light after firing. However, these scales cover the green color of the Su material and require careful side lighting.

Only by observing can you tell the difference."

"So this dragon should still be viewed as a Kui dragon. The so-called 'scaleless' appearance of the Xuande Kui dragon is actually caused by the painter's thicker brush and the smudge effect of the Su material itself."

"The later painters were not careful enough when imitating it, so they painted it as if it were scaleless."

"If you can put so much thought into a piece of porcelain, this blue and white piece must be authentic from the Xuande Dynasty."

"This also answers the question just now. If an artifact with a dragon pattern is found in the future, with a lin, no wings, two legs, a curly grass tail, and a passion flower in its mouth, then we should think it is a Kui dragon pattern.

Moreover, the painter has truly understood Xuande Kuilong's painting technique, but without the Su material, he cannot use the smudge effect of the Su material to create the magical tin spots and scales effect."

Everyone once again gathered under the piece of Xuande porcelain and looked at it carefully. After reading it, they looked at each other. Who the hell would have thought that the ancients had devised such a mechanism?!

You can't say that. Isn't there a monster in front of you?

Everyone no longer doubts Zhou Zhi's appraisal skills. Anzhai Eiichi loves porcelain the most. He was a little disapproving when he saw the Xuande Kuilong jar before. After all, he is not without blue and white flowers from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Now he is also a little moved.

.

Goro Sakamoto coughed quickly to remind him not to lose his composure.

Eiichi Anzhai's eyes turned to regret. The task of this auction was arduous. The fragments of the "Dainikkei" were the national treasures of the island country, and they had to concentrate their firepower to win them down.

If the Chinese people knew that they had given up a fragment of Tang Dynasty calligraphy for a piece of Chinese Ming Dynasty porcelain, they would really have had a caesarean section to apologize when they returned to China.

Zhou Zhi also expected this, so he openly displayed the identification results to everyone.

He has taken a fancy to this jar. As Haitong's partner, he participated in the auction of Lin Wanqiu's studio on Hong Kong Island. There are many tricks that can be manipulated here.

Even if you end up with tens of millions of dollars, you don’t really need to pay that much. At most, it will only subsidize the Hong Kong Island Inland Revenue Department with a stamp duty.

Therefore, he is not afraid of anyone raising the price with him. Raising the price is to give Lin Wanqiu a chance to become famous, which she wants.

Lin Wanqiu asked with a smile: "Does anyone have any objections to Zhou Zhi's identification results?"

There was no room for objection, everyone said that they had learned a lot today.

Lin Wanqiu smiled and said: "We invite all the guests to attend our dinner that night. After the banquet, there will be a special car to take you to the hotel where you are staying. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, there will also be a special car to greet you."

Eiichi Anzhai said: "We still have some issues we want to discuss with Mr. Xiao Zhou regarding the fragments of the Mahavairocana."

Several big guys were stunned. You must know that they are all big collectors and they also have their own collection consultants, and the level of collection consultants is generally not low.

The version of Goro should be both the rival of Eiichi Ataka and his advisor, or one of the advisors. He is an art professor at Kyoto National University, and he has competed with Eiichi for lots at auctions several times.

But once the "Dainikkei" came out, the two of them must have shared their hatred and hatred to the outside world. Now Anzhai Eiichi said that he wanted to discuss the issue with Zhou Zhi, which is very strange.

I saw Sakamoto Goro's attitude towards Zhou Zhi before. On such an occasion, it was obvious that he could even be described as rude to Zhou Zhi. But now Anzhai's attitude is so humble. Is this the legendary one who is a good guy and the other a bad guy?

Zhou Zhi doesn't find it strange. It's almost the DNA of this nation to be fearful of power and not be immoral. In the past, neither of them would have looked at him in the eyes, but now that they have come out like this, it can only explain one problem -

There is a strategic problem, and I hope it can be solved through tactics.

What could be the problem? There is only one possibility: insufficient funds.

After the signing of the Plaza Accord, the island country experienced five years of peaking. At that time, the whole country was ecstatic and claimed that it could buy the United States.

However, the economic bubble burst just when everyone was happiest, and now three years have passed.

In the past three years, the island country has also been thinking about countermeasures. It has reduced domestic investment, curbed consumption, implemented financial mergers and industrial mergers externally, and begun to realize large-scale industrial transfers to occupy overseas markets and free up market space for domestic enterprises.

Industry began to shift from the processing industry to high-tech, high-value-added electronics, machinery, chemicals and other industries, while industries such as shipbuilding and automobiles were exported overseas.

To put it nicely, this is the implementation of the economic globalization strategy by the island country, but to put it poorly, it is called drinking poison to quench thirst.

Without the miraculously rapid rise of our neighbors from the east - eventually defeating their brands with local brands, such as electrical appliances; introducing balancing mechanisms for those that cannot be defeated, such as cars; and rapidly building up foreign exchange reserves with great determination, this determines what we can do
