Chapter 859 Layout Below

Li Dali turned over the cultural relics and found out that it was at most a crime of selling stolen goods. Even if he was bitten to death, he was only sentenced to a few years, and he could also let his younger brother take the blame.

But the crime of smuggling cultural relics is big. If the amount involved is large and the level of cultural relics involved is high, it is not impossible to pull out and hit the target.

So when he heard Zhuang Rui's words, Boss Li immediately became anxious. If he hadn't been afraid of the power behind Zhuang Rui, he would have turned against him long ago.

"Mr. Li, you misunderstood me. I mean, these Cizhou official kiln porcelain can go another way. I heard that some countries are particularly interested in Cizhou kilns..."

When Zhuang Rui saw that Li Dali misunderstood his meaning, he quickly explained it, but almost said that he wanted Li Dali to invite Japanese guests.

Zhuang Rui's "Xuan Ruizhai" is not for nothing. Although it doesn't make a lot of money, it is a well-informed place. If there is anything new in the antique industry, it will definitely spread in Pan's home first.

Zhuang Rui also learned a lot of gossip from the monkey that the antiques smuggled out of Chinese cultural relics are mainly concentrated in two places. The first is Hong Kong, which is sold to Europe and other countries.

And the second place is Japan. Because Little Japan itself has no culture and history, Chinese antiques have always been coveted for a long time. Every year, the customs find the most foreign tourists who carry Chinese cultural relics out of the country, which are basically Japanese.

For example, when Zhuang Rui first participated in the antique black market in Tibet, he met a Japanese. This is not an accident. Many Japanese who come to China will buy precious antiques and bring them back to Japan through various channels.

In this process, people like Li Dali are playing a key role. If it sounds good, it's called a booker. If it doesn't sound good, it's a cultural relic smuggler.

"Mr. Zhuang, the Cizhou kiln you mentioned, is it our last time..."

Li Dali now understands what Zhuang Rui means. Does this guy want to cheat foreigners? However, for the sake of caution, Li Dali still wants to figure out the reason for this.

You know, in case of a problem, others will only look for him as an intermediary, not Zhuang Rui.

Li Dali went to Xu Guoqing's laboratory with Zhuang Rui last time. He had long guessed that the object Zhuang Rui said should have come from there. He opened his mouth and asked Zhuang Rui, but he just wanted to confirm it.

"Mr. Li, in fact, now the national collection, the antique market has always been very prosperous, and you have enough contacts. In fact, you can consider making the auction house more formalized and international. There is no need to live in a small fight..."

Zhuang Rui did not answer Li Dali's question, but said something else.

What Zhuang Rui said was a little careless, but Li Dali listened with his eyes wide open. The prosperity of the antique market brought about the country's attention to it. Relevant laws and regulations have been constantly introduced, and the living space of the squeezed antique black market has become smaller and smaller.

And now the organization of grave robbery is becoming more and more rampant. When Li Dali receives the stolen goods, he is worried that there are things that are being watched by the state. He knows better than anyone else that the reason why he lives well now is that he has not touched the bottom line of the law, otherwise he would have been invited to prison long ago.

Two years ago, Li Dali wanted to go ashore. He suffered from the lack of relationship. After going ashore, there was no businessman. Now Zhuang Rui said this, which happened to hit Boss Li's weakness.

"I have a good relationship with the money of the Kyoto auction house. You can introduce Mr. Li to him. You can associate it under the name of Kyoto, and it's also good to open a branch in Hebei Province..."

Zhuang Rui threw the bait again. He knew that talking about the way of national righteous friends with people like Li Dali was pure bullshit. Without enough benefits, it was absolutely impossible for him to get involved in danger to help his layout.

"Mr. Zhuang, that's good..."

The entry threshold of the auction house is very high, especially for antique auctions, which must have relevant qualifications, while Li Dali's auction house on the surface of Hebei Province is only attached to a government department, and only has the authority to auction relevant real estate equipment.

Now Zhuang Rui gave him a chance to enter the antique auction through a proper channel. Li Dali knew that it was a bait, so he had to open his mouth and swallow it in one bite.

"Mr. Zhuang, leave this matter to me. I'm sure you will be satisfied, but you have to give those two things to me first. It's better to have some proof. I'll find someone to see it and release the news..."

If you can wash your hands ashore, how can Li Dali care about his reputation in the antique black market? Once the decision was made, Li Dali did not look forward, and simply took all the work under the layout to himself.

"Succe, Mr. Li, don't worry, those objects are more than 99% similar to the official porcelain of that year. As long as they have not been tested for carbon fourteen, there is absolutely no problem..."

Seeing that Li Dali agreed, Zhuang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Without Li Dali, he really couldn't do anything.

"That's good, Mr. Zhuang, don't worry, give me a month, I will definitely hold this auction, and let's hold a special auction of Cizhou official kiln..."

After Li Dali heard Zhuang Rui's words, he completely put down his concerns. Things are fake. Even if they are targeted by relevant departments, they are not afraid. At most, it's just a tax evasion. What can he do to himself?

"Akay, Mr. Li, please stay in Beijing for another two days. I'll send you something tomorrow..."

Li Dali is willing to make a big deal. Zhuang Rui can't wait for it. Boss Li himself is a Jianghu person, and he is definitely more professional than himself.

After sending Li Dali away, Zhuang Rui just received a phone call from Xu Guoqing, which also asked him to come directly to the courtyard.

......

"Xu Gong, I know this one. It should be called a four-series bottle with white and black flower cloud and phoenix pattern, but what is this one for? You have to explain it to me..."

The two pieces of porcelain placed in front of Zhuang Rui, one is a glazed white black flower cloud phoenix pattern four series bottle. The whole porcelain bottle is huge, round and thick, with patterns such as clouds, dragons and jade algae.

It's just that Zhuang Rui recognizes these four series of bottles, but he can't understand the other one. This porcelain is square, with a small palm-shaped mouth on it, and characters are painted on all sides. Zhuang Rui is a little confused about what this thing is for.

When Xu Guoqing saw that Zhuang Rui did not know this thing, he immediately smiled and said, "Ha ha, this is an ancient Gongqi, which is specially used for the emperor and princess. The Cizhou kiln itself is a porcelain used in the production of folk, so it is more appropriate for me to make such a thing..."

After hearing Xu Guoqing's words, Zhuang Rui felt a chill in his heart. Isn't this the emperor's toilet? There is a joke in the antique industry that the emperor's toilet is valuable, and it is the object in front of him.

But if he hadn't known that this thing had just been fired, Zhuang Rui would never have played with it.

After Xu Guoqing's introduction, Zhuang Rui carefully examined the two pieces of porcelain. In terms of glazed veta quality and firing heat, it is really difficult to find the defects of these two pieces of porcelain.

Compared with Minyao Cizhou porcelain, these two works not only maintain the rough and unrestrained painting style, but also have the rigorous and exquisite characteristics of official kiln porcelain.

"Good, Xugong, good craftsmanship"

If it weren't for the objects that had just come out of the kiln, it would be difficult for Zhuang Rui to distinguish the true from the false with his eyes. Zhuang Rui was full of praise.

"Brother Zhuang, I sent the things here. Is there anything wrong with me?"

Xu Guoqing has just successfully fired two pieces, and his hands are itching. At this time, his heart has already flown back to the laboratory.

"Xu Gong, since you're here, let's play for a few days before leaving..." Zhuang Rui said.

Xu Guoqing shook his head like a rattle and said, "Don't play, brother, it's okay. I'm going back. There are a few things in my hand that have not been burned. I don't have time to delay here..."

"Well, then you can go back, but Xugong, don't release the news about the success of the Cizhou official kiln. Don't leak any news..." Seeing that he couldn't keep Xu Guoqing, Zhuang Rui quickly explained a few words.

Now Xu Guoqing's laboratory is also highly concerned by the local government, because if Cizhou official kiln porcelain can be copied, it will fill a gap in the history of ceramics, which is a very meaningful thing.

If this matter is transferred to the local government, it can naturally become a political achievement. Zhuang Rui doesn't want those officials who are drilling their heads up to destroy his plans.

There was something about Tang Sancai creating foreign exchange before. Of course, Xu Guoqing understood what Zhuang Rui was thinking. He immediately said, "I know, these two pieces of porcelain are those researchers don't even know. Don't worry, brother..."

Xu Guoqing was so poor that he couldn't even afford to pay the electricity bill. Now he lives a hot life with his wife and children. Naturally, he knows what's good or bad. Besides, this thing is money flowing into foreign countries to deceive foreigners. Xu Guoqing has no psychological burden at all.

......

After sending Xu Guoqing away, Zhuang Rui handed over two pieces of porcelain and several pieces of unearthed Cizhou official kiln broken porcelain brought by Xu Guoqing to Li Dali the next day.

As for how to do the old, Li Dali has his own professional talents, so he doesn't have to worry about Zhuang Rui at all.

After about half a month, when Zhuang Rui went to Pan's home "Xuan Ruizhai", he heard a piece of news from the monkey's mouth: there was a tomb robbery gang in Handan, Hebei Province, which recently dug up an ancient kiln site in Cizhou and unearthed a lot of good things from it.

According to well-informed sources, in the stolen ancient kiln site, there are two pieces of extremely exquisite porcelain. After identification by some folk experts, it is suspected to be the official kiln porcelain of the Imperial Palace in Cizhou, Southern Song Dynasty.

The speed of gossip news in the antique market is absolutely no less than that of those women who enjoy inquisitioning about other people's privacy all day long. In a very short time, the news of the unearthed Cizhou official kiln porcelain has spread all over the two sides of the Yellow River.
