Chapter 568 Yuebao Building, Hao Baolai

ps: During the Dragon Boat Festival, when everyone eats rice dumplings, don’t forget to give votes and ask for support.

At this time, Wang Guan felt a little confused when he looked at the porcelain in front of him that had just gone to sea.

However, due to professional ethics, since Gao Zhuang didn't say anything, Wang Guan didn't plan to ask more questions. He cut off the doubts, carefully looked at the classified things, and then slowly estimated the price.

After careful examination, Wang Guan found that most of these porcelains were products of Longquan kilns in the Southern Song Dynasty, and were mostly made of daily necessities such as bowls and plates. There were naturally bottles and bottles, but most of them were fragments.

"Brother Wang, how are the things?" Gao Zhuang asked anxiously.

"It's OK."

Wang Guan pondered for a while and said, "I won't say much about the fragments. Many of these ancient kiln factories have been unearthed. Even if they are all packaged and sold to others, they can be as much as thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. They even have to find a merchant that specializes in purchasing such things, otherwise ordinary antique shop owners are not willing to accept such things."

Gao Zhuang nodded repeatedly and quickly moved the fragments of the porcelain aside. In fact, he was a relatively delicate person, so he collected the fragments. If someone else was replaced, even if he caught this fragment, he would probably throw them back into the sea as soon as possible.

"The next one is these broken artifacts." Wang Guan said in a whisper: "If it is not seriously damaged, you can find someone to repair it. Even if the price is not very expensive, you can still sell it as a single one. Depending on the variety of porcelain, it is still something that someone wants for hundreds or thousands of dollars. As for things that are too damaged, they can be directly added to the fragments."

Gao Zhuang received teachings and continued to further divide them.

"In the end, these things are intact or slightly flawed." Wang Guan said with a smile: "The prices of these things may not be high, but they will definitely not be very low. Everything depends on the age, quality, and degree of sparseness."

"For example, the bowl-shaped bowl of Longquan kiln has a white body and a dark and grayish-like body. The glaze layer is relatively thick, which is a feature of the Southern Song Dynasty. What's more rare is that things should be just wrapped in sea mud, and perhaps they were still at the bottom of the shipwreck bilge for a long time. They were washed up by sea water recently, so there were not many traces of corrosion and wear off the glaze."

After appreciating for a while, Wang Guan estimated: "As long as you carefully maintain such things for a period of time and then often touch them, the glaze will gradually return to its former glory. Therefore, the market price is quite high, at least more than 30,000 yuan."

At the end, Wang Guan smiled and said, "Of course, if you have enough patience, then I will teach you a way to protect you. I will enjoy it for a year or two. When the things are restored to their luster, it will be no problem to sell them for 100,000 or 80,000."

"Forget it." Gao Zhuang shook his head and said, "I am a big and slutty man and I often go out to sea to catch fish, but I don't have the time to fiddle with such delicate things."

"So the price is lower." Wang Guan explained: "If people have the time to grind the water, it is natural to make the difference."

"I understand this." Gao Zhuang nodded, and smiled helplessly, "But I know better. I can't make this money. It's okay for a day or two, but I'm afraid that I'll be upset after a long time and can't help but smash the thing."

"That's because you treat the maintenance of porcelain as work, and you naturally feel boring. But the person you really like is playing with, pleasing to the eye and cultivating sentiment." Wang Guan smiled, no longer said anything, and continued to appreciate other things.

Not long after, Wang Guan finished appreciating more than a dozen intact porcelain pieces. He estimated the prices one by one, and almost every item was more than 10,000 yuan. Naturally, Gao Zhuang was overjoyed and smiled.

After carefully putting these more expensive porcelains in hand, Gao Zhuang was very grateful and sincerely expressed his gratitude. He even gave Wang Guan a piece of porcelain worth tens of thousands of yuan as a thank-you gift.

Wang Guan naturally declined tactfully, stayed on the boat for a while and looked at the sea view of the port. Then he got off the boat with Bei Ye and met with her mother and aunt, and then returned to Yu Jie's house.

There is no need to elaborate on what happened next. When sitting at Yu Jie's house for a while, Bei Ye's mother offered to say goodbye. Then, after Yu Jie's strong detention, another farewell, Wang Guan drove Bei Ye and her mother back to Suzhou.

It was already evening when I returned to Suzhou, and this day passed like this.

The next morning, Wang Guan went to Shanghai Airport alone to welcome Gao Dequan. Originally, Baye was going to come with him, but today happened to be the day when her grandfather went to the hospital for regular check-ups, so he naturally had to do his best to be filial and didn't come with him.

As for the old man, he is weak and may not have any major problems. However, regular check-ups can also make his family feel at ease. Fortunately, the time is a little too high. Wang Guan first drove Beiye and her grandfather to the hospital and accompanied him to watch. When the time was almost over, he turned to the airport.

Strictly speaking, when Wang Guan arrived at the airport, he was more than ten minutes late. However, he was not worried, because due to well-known reasons, the plane that should have arrived more than ten minutes ago is still flying in the sky.

In this place in China, it is normal for delays and delays in all means of transportation, so Wang Guan is very calm and waits with peace of mind.

It took about twenty minutes before Gao Dequan was out.

"Uncle De." Wang Guan smiled and greeted him, and took the luggage bag on his back.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Gao Dequan smiled and asked casually: "Where is your girlfriend."

"If you have something to do, come here later." Wang Guan smiled and said, "Uncle De, you have a wide connection and should be able to eat well in Shanghai, so I won't arrange food and accommodation for you."

"What to arrange, what is there to arrange?" Gao Dequan said indifferently: "If it really doesn't work, just run to the Su family directly. If you don't believe Su Wenyi doesn't care about food."

"Uncle De is mighty." Wang Guan smiled and said, "When will I be as domineering as you? If I did this, I would probably be knocked out by a stick."

"That's why you are still young and have accumulated."

Gao Dequan smiled and waved his hand with a high spirit, "Let's go and take you to have a free meal."

Of course, this is a joke. After leaving the airport, the two stopped a taxi and as soon as they got on, Gao Dequan reported the address directly: "City God Temple."

The driver didn't say anything nonsense, and stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly. After a long turn, he came to the vicinity of the City God Temple. Then, according to Gao Dequan's instructions, he turned two more turns and slowly stopped next to a building.

"Yuebaolou."

After paying to get off the car, Wang Guan looked up and saw the store signs coming into his eyes. The big characters of flying dragons and phoenixes are magnificent, plus the six-stage steps and transparent tempered glass doors, it makes people feel that the store is powerful.

The truth is the same. Under the guidance of Gao Dequan, Wang Guan slowly walked into Yuebao Building and saw that the store was a marble lobby of two or three hundred square meters, with a large lotus-shaped crystal chandelier on top. Although it is broad daylight, the crystal chandelier is on, and the bright lights make the lobby brighter.

Of course, brightness is not the focus. The focus is on the exquisite jewelry, jade jewelry and other things displayed in the glass counter in the lobby under the light. In this case, it is easy to make people dazzle, get dazzled, and even intoxicated in it without realizing it.

Just as Wang Guan was sighing secretly, a beautiful woman in uniform came over and said with a bright smile: "Hello, two gentlemen, welcome to Yuebaolou. What can I do to help you?"

"Look for your boss." Gao Dequan said calmly: "We have made an appointment to meet here."

In an instant, the beauty smiled happily and said, "Is it Mr. Gao? The boss has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me."

While talking, the beauty took the two of them to the second floor, then knocked on the door of a spacious and luxurious office, and saw a middle-aged man who was a little fat but not fat on the big chair inside.

"Old Gao, you're finally here."

Seeing Gao Dequan, the middle-aged man was very happy and walked over to greet him quickly.

"The plane was delayed, it was a bit late, I'm sorry." Gao Dequan smiled, patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and turned around to introduce him: "I'll introduce you to you. This is Wang Guan, the owner of Shiyi Pavilion in the capital. Although he is young, his eyesight will definitely be two more streets away from you."

"Hao Baolai."

At this time, pointing to the middle-aged man, Gao Dequan smiled even more: "Boss of Yuebaolou, let's have a festive name."

"Talking about my name again, your name is not much better." Hao Baolai pretended to be angry, then shook hands with Wang Guan and smiled: "Hello, little brother, you are so young and promising. When I was as old as you, I was still moving bricks."

Before Wang Guan could respond, Gao Dequan sneered: "Okay, don't show off your struggle from scratch. Wang Guan is not a rich second generation. He also achieved his current achievements through his own efforts."

"Really." Hao Baolai became even more enthusiastic: "When you have time in the future, everyone should share more experiences."

"What's the point of communicating with this? Are you thinking about bitterness and sweetness?" Gao Dequan said with a hilarious voice: "Or complain to each other? I lament how hard-earned the beautiful life now?"

"What? I mean to exchange successful experiences." Hao Baolai glared and led the two to sit down next to him. Naturally, someone served Qing tea.

"Wang Guan's experience is not suitable for you." Gao Dequan said bluntly: "You should just sell your jewelry honestly and continue to be your jewelry dealer with more promising."

"What kind of jewelry dealer?" Hao Baolai said dissatisfiedly: "I am a collector, a veritable collector, a wise collector, a person from the industry..."

"The people in the industry regard it as the object of fat sheep." Gao Dequan said lightly: "Let's say, how many have they been slaughtered during this period?"

When Wang Guan heard this and saw Hao Baolai's slightly bitter expression, he was basically sure that this person was mostly a person who was stupid and came quickly in the eyes of antique merchants.

Thinking of this, Wang Guan quickly took out a business card and handed it over, and said sincerely: "Boss Hao, if you want to buy any antiques in the future, please take care of our Shiyi Pavilion."

"That's right, instead of being cheaper to others, it's better to help us out." Gao Dequanshen agreed and nodded in agreement.

"What do you two mean?"
