Chapter 0710 The Museum Collection (III)
After hearing the words of Qi Zhu, Zhuang Rui smiled, did not say much, but his face showed a trace of confidence, although his own collection of this museum is not much, but each is a fine product, Zhuang Rui believes that even compared with those state-owned museums, is no less.
Of course, the Palace Museum and so on need not be mentioned, although after several catastrophes, that is also a thin dead camel than a horse, non-Zhuang Rui can be compared.
Looking at the crowd is still watching the two jade carvings, Zhuang Rui opened his mouth and said: “Everyone first come to the ceramic museum to see it! It’s more than 12 o’clock, let’s walk through to eat.”
The two jade carving ornaments of the display cabinets, are removable, Zhuang Rui is also temporarily placed outside the ceramics pavilion, to attract the attention of the crowd, such as jade miscellaneous museum can be open for business, the two jade carving ornaments, as well as the exchange of that from the Jimi Museum of the Western Han Dynasty, “White Jade Tiger,” will become a miscellaneous museum’s town treasure.
“Gentlemen, this Yuan blue and white porcelain jar of Ghost Valley Zi descending from the mountain is the only Yuan blue and white porcelain with figures in our country.”
Ghost valley down the mountain Yuan blue and white porcelain jar, naturally to be placed in the most eye-catching place in the ceramics pavilion, exquisite glass display cabinet, hollowed out crystal base, all are not in the set off this porcelain precious.
The theme picture of the porcelain jar is describing the story of Sun Bin’s master, Ghost Valley Zi, who promised to come down from the mountain to rescue Sun Bin and Dugu Chen, the famous generals of Qi, who were trapped by Yan, under the repeated requests of Su Dai, the envoy of Qi.
On the porcelain pot, Ghost Valley Zi sits in a car pulled by a tiger and a leopard, his body slightly leaning forward, his demeanor is composed, transcendent like an immortal, showing the demeanor of planning in a tent and deciding to win in a thousand miles, and the two foot soldiers in front of the car are holding spears to open the way.
A young general handsome, long horse, hand holding the war flag, written on the word “Guigu”, Su Dai rode behind. A line of people and mountain color trees and rocks constitute a spectacular and beautiful landscape figures.
The entire blue and white decoration is colorful, full picture, sparse and dense, clear primary and secondary, all in one, the characters portrayed smooth and natural, full of charm, the rocks and stones chapped soundly, the pen is fine, very perfect.
Although not many characters on the porcelain pot picture, but each person’s expression is very rich and delicate, even in the latter Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain, but also rare so fine porcelain, the field is more connoisseurs, naturally know the rarity of this porcelain and precious.
And in the last month, held in London, England, an auction, the same is a Yuan blue and white figure porcelain, actually shot more than fourteen million pounds to the sky price, equivalent to more than two hundred and thirty million yuan, so that the world collection for the shock.
Although that piece of porcelain is also character Yuan Qinghua, but its shape and storytelling, are far less than this Ghost Valley downhill porcelain pot, see this porcelain pot, after the pavilion of the crowd are staggering, if in accordance with the international auction market, this Ghost Valley Yuan Qinghua, I’m afraid that the price should be in the more than three hundred million yuan.
First is the stereoscopic sword, and then a rare jade carving ornaments, and now see this absolutely can be called priceless Yuan blue and white porcelain pots, people for Zhuang Rui’s museum, in the heart of the positioning has been given, is absolutely go boutique high-end route.
From has seen a few pavilions, “Kangxi south patrol map” the second volume of magnificent, huge, even if you get to Nanjing Shanghai can big city museums, can be used as a treasure, but in Zhuang Rui’s museum, I’m afraid that even the top ten position are not ranked in, visible Zhuang Rui collection of fine.
Ceramics pavilion can be described as Zhuang Rui collection inside, the highest market value of a pavilion, single ghost valley and that piece of fish pattern celadon pots, the value of about four hundred million, not to mention that there is a “even if there is a million slam of family wealth, not as good as a piece of porcelain porcelain” of the complete five kilns of the porcelain.
In the Zhuang Rui museum opened before, Kyoto auction house of money once brought an appraiser to the Zhuang Rui this ceramics pavilion to make the assessment is worth more than eight hundred million yuan, and still conservative valuation.
Of course, this valuation was made after the auction in London.
Because in these two months time, the world auction world storm clouds, Chinese art, especially ceramics prices soared, Ezekiel gave Zhuang Rui that more than two hundred pieces of porcelain in the mid to late Qing Dynasty, was also assessed to more than one hundred million of the market pricing.
Zhuang Rui is to Ezekiel Kenner also sent an invitation, but Ezekiel Kenner to physical discomfort as the reason, and did not come to participate in Zhuang Rui’s opening ceremony.
“Unwell? I’m afraid he’s angry with himself?” This was the sentence that came out of Huangfu Yun’s open mouth at that time when he heard that Ezkena did not come.
Zhuang Rui could also imagine that Ezkena was probably regretting it! On the value, that 10 to Picasso’s sketches, in any case can not catch up with these porcelain he traded, Ezekiel although there are still many fine porcelain, but the Yuan blue and white and Song five kilns of porcelain, but was Zhuang Rui to scavenge.
As for Zhuang Rui another few pavilions, money also gave the assessment, although the bronze sword in the country is unable to trade, but if smuggled abroad, the price of at least two hundred million above.
Not counting those bronzes that Zhuang Rui “temporarily borrowed” from the country, only Zhuang Rui’s own collection, including two jade carvings, including the total value of 2.2 billion yuan, plus the museum itself, the value of the land and buildings, this private museum, the total price should be in the 2.5 billion or so.
Not to mention, at that time, after the completion of the valuation, that is, Zhuang Rui were startled, to know, can have 2.5 billion yuan of wealth, in last year’s 2004 Forbes list of China’s rich people, can already be placed in the top ten.
However, Forbes ranking is to consider a number of factors, such as political influence, Zhuang Rui himself is basically zero, international influence is also limited to the circle of art, and still belong to the auction house is blocked that kind of people.
Like what the leading position in the private economy, Zhuang Rui is even more involved, if his museum can also be considered a private enterprise, then Zhuang Rui is only out of not into, to the country can not create much benefit, not to mention what the leadership.
However, Forbes ranking in the industry in the strategic position of this one, Zhuang Rui can barely touch a little edge, his museum, from the value of the collection, is definitely the domestic private museum in the first.
As for those for how many people to solve the employment conditions, Zhuang Rui and those on the list of tycoons is not comparable, he is now a real employee, but dozens of people, but also be considered “Qin Ruilin” and “Xuan Rui Zhai” of those people.
Like Zhuang Rui such a person, there are many people in the country, now the media to this kind of people, up a name, is the invisible rich, although many assets but low-key, or only in a certain industry famous.
However, Zhuang Rui’s several investments, if people leaked out, I’m afraid he was in the Forbes rich list, can also occupy a place, because only the jadeite mine in Myanmar, in the next few years, at least to bring Zhuang Rui more than two billion yuan return.
Xinjiang’s jade mine has been mined for the most part, now Zhuang Rui from there to get the dividends, there are as much as three hundred million, wait until the mining is completed, it should be able to reach five hundred million, and the Jade King’s expectations are about the same.
In addition, there is Zhuang Rui is now in this property, only now sold building flowers have seven or eight hundred million, after all the properties are sold, Zhuang Rui invested three hundred million funds, at least can turn 4 ~ 5 times.
This is why so many people in China like to invest in real estate, this kind of business is absolutely a profit, not to mention that many people are empty-handed, left hand from the bank to take the money, the right hand and then return, do not have to pay a penny.
After looking at the two pavilions, these collectors and experts from all over the world, the heart can’t help but produce a trace of awe for Zhuang Rui, although money can’t measure a person’s status, but can definitely measure a person’s ability. In the antique line, measure a person’s success, it depends on the quantity and quality of your collection, although Zhuang Rui now the number of collections can not be compared to Mr. Ma, but on the total value of the collection, it is estimated that only specialize in playing rosewood that Ms. Chen, can be compared to Zhuang Rui.
After this opening ceremony, debut has not yet two years of Zhuang Rui, in the domestic antique world status, has been able to catch up with Mr. Ma, after a long period of time, a variety of forums and lectures as well as appraisal activities of the invitation, such as snowflakes to Zhuang Rui fly to, of course, these are the words after the fact.
“Alright, everyone go to the bronze pavilion again, we’re about to go eat.”
Zhuang Rui clapped his hands, after attracting the attention of the crowd, he led the way out of the ceramics pavilion, and suddenly saw Peng Fei walking head on, Zhuang Rui couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Peng Fei, where is Uncle Te? Not invited?”
Uncle De’s youngest daughter-in-law just went into labor in the past few days, as a father-in-law, Uncle De also wanted to see his big fat grandson for the first time, so after receiving Zhuang Rui’s invitation, he has been staying in Zhonghai without coming over.
For uncle De, Zhuang Rui heart that is him as a father to honor, their own museum opening if uncle De did not come, Zhuang Rui will certainly feel regret.
So Zhuang Rui let Peng Fei brought the crew waited in Zhonghai, as long as uncle De’s daughter-in-law gave birth, uncle De see grandchildren, immediately after the uncle De will be invited to Beijing.
“Brother Zhuang, Uncle De has been invited, but as soon as he arrived, he drilled into that pavilion.”
Peng Fei pointed to a pavilion behind him, but it was the bronze pavilion closest to the main entrance, which was the one Zhuang Rui was now taking people over to.
Due to the many restrictions on domestic bronze trading, the number of collectors who started to enter the bronze pavilion was also relatively small, most of them were experts who were studying bronzes, working on the large Shang and Zhou tripod.
