Chapter 67 Worth millions

In short, dealing with Zhao Xiangbo is the key.

At this moment, Zhao Xiangbo was very enthusiastic about this celadon water purification cup. Zhou Xia had to go to him at this time, but he could only make things boring.

Xu Yaohui was quite interested in the bronze mirror engraved with four divine beasts: Vermillion Bird, Green Dragon, Black Tortoise and White Tiger. After discussing it with Zhou Xia, he carefully studied it.

In the end, Zhou Xia could only compete with the celadon bowl that was broken in half.

As Zhou Xia encountered before, the bowl that was thrown in two can better identify the age of the porcelain. Because there are too many unglazed body exposed in it, you can see clearly what kind of soil is used, how much bubbles are in it, whether it is machine-processed, etc.

Now Zhou Xia’s celadon bowl is not used in common porcelain, but another type of porcelain clay. Compared with kaolin, it looks gray and rough.

Zhou Xia looked at this, it should be that Tang Dynasty celadon was not enough to escape. In the industry, it was definitely a Tang Dynasty celadon that opened its doors.

The whole bowl is covered with green glaze, and the foot-cultivation technique is different from the back. The patterns are relatively simple, but there is a lotus pattern engraved secretly, without any signs or text on it.

Zhou Xia also thought in his heart that after the restoration of this celadon bowl, it should be worth tens of thousands of yuan. After all, it is a genuine product in the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not a fine work in celadon, it has also been smashed in half.

Moreover, he felt that the celadon bowl should have been before the celadon water purification cup, and all the external characteristics showed well. In the heyday of celadon in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, the glaze color of the celadon should at least have the performance of the celadon.

With comparison, the difference becomes particularly obvious.

I was idle and had nothing to do, so Zhou Xia used the system to make a reply. The final conclusion was similar to what he estimated. This celadon bowl was fired in 731 AD, a little earlier than the water purification cup.

After confirming that it was celadon in the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Xia had to think about how to disperse the old hooligan Zhao Xiangbo.

Before he could think of a good idea, Zhao Xiangbo identified the water purification cup and came to cause trouble for him.

"Zhou Xia, you guys, you're so brave. You dare to take such precious things as secret porcelain." Zhao Xiangbo said nothing good.

"Mr. Zhao, if I don't accept such a precious thing, you will feel strange. You said right! If I don't accept it, you will never have the chance to see such a precious good thing." Zhou Xia replied, however.

"There are some reasons, but this does not mean that you are doing it right. The celadon bowl in your hand is also a Tang Dynasty celadon bowl with open doors. Tell me, how much is it collected?"

"Not worth mentioning." Zhou Xia said.

Zhao Xiangbo said angrily, "Just ask you, where is the mother-in-law and mother?"

Zhou Xia stretched out a finger, and Zhao Xiangbo immediately cursed when he saw it, "I have seen through you, you are so cunning that he is like a ghost. He will be dismissed by others for ten thousand yuan. He will not take on a particularly large responsibility. You should be quite proud now!"

Zhou Xia secretly complained, "Where can I be proud of you when I meet you," he said hurriedly, "How can I? I'm racking my brains to figure out how to deal with these two pieces of porcelain. Mr. Zhao is experienced and has a wide network of contacts, so I can help the boy come up with an idea?"

Zhao Xiangbo asked him with his eyes slanted, "You can accept all my ideas?"

"I believe Mr. Zhao!" Although it was obviously insincere, Zhou Xia said that with his expression, he had such a sincere smell.

"You have thought about it. This secret porcelain water purification cup is worth millions." Zhao Xiangbo deliberately made a fuss about Zhou Xia. He was right. Such fine works in Tang Dynasty celadon are basically priceless, but they are not like some colored porcelains of the Third Qing Dynasty. The prices are outrageously high, and they often exceed tens of millions. The main reason is that the state's regulations on porcelain before the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The estimates of these millions were not deliberately played by Zhao Xiangbo.

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "So what if it's worth millions? I absolutely agree with Mr. Zhao's opinion."

Zhao Xiangbo expressed doubts, "I want to give it an idea and donate it, are you willing to do it?"

"I certainly have no objection to let more people appreciate the beauty of this secret color porcelain. As long as Mr. Zhao can guarantee that the relevant departments will not cause trouble for me." Zhou Xia replied calmly, and he knew very well that things like secret color porcelain are of high value, and saying a few million is not a false statement. But once such a good thing wants to take action, it is very likely to attract attention. If you are targeted, it will not be easy to clear it up.

As for Zhou Xia's current situation, although he is short of money now, he still doesn't want to get himself into a lawsuit. Moreover, his purpose of collecting precious cultural relics has been achieved, and he can just try it out. If the system still recognizes this precious cultural relics, it would be best.

Zhao Xiangbo laughed and said, "I'll just say it! You kid, there are still many twists and turns in your heart. Now you know you're afraid, so why don't you think about it when buying it?"

Zhou Xia said, "Mr. Zhao, it's me that I'm wrong. I should notify Mr. Zhao and ask you to buy it."

Zhao Xiangbo snorted coldly, "What nonsense do you say? If you want me, Hum, just send them to the police station without explanation."

Zhou Xia said, "I don't have the courage of Mr. Zhao. My small body is not enough for others to beat him with two fists."

"Just know what reasons are to find and tell me your own plans!" Zhao Xiangbo asked him again.

"Mr. Zhao will help me make an idea." Zhou Xia still said this, and thought that he couldn't handle your words, so he would be free from talking about everything.

"Really?" Zhao Xiangbo felt that this kid was too cunning and focused on putting the blame on him. Zhao Xiangbo was not so easy to be fooled by him, so he immediately said, "I want to say keep it for me, and you agree?"

Zhou Xia said happily, "If Mr. Zhao is willing to help keep it, it would be best, but I definitely have no objection."

"Then you bought it with such a big effort and risk, what's the picture?" Zhao Xiangbo was very puzzled.

"If I don't buy it, others will buy it. Instead of letting it wander to a place I don't know, we might as well keep it in for the time being! I think the key is how we treat it, and Mr. Zhao is better at finding out its true value, no matter how it is better than being able to collect it for people who don't understand!" This is also what Zhou Xia said in his heart. Although he is very young and vulgar, it is the most real idea in his heart.

Zhao Xiangbo asked him again, "Are you sure?"

"Of course! If Mr. Zhao doesn't believe it, who else can I believe!" Zhou Xia said in a daze.

Zhao Xiangbo couldn't help but look up at him. He saw countless people. Although this kid was very cunning, he still had the passion and impulse of a young man deep in his heart.

"Then I will keep this secret porcelain water purification cup and this celadon bowl for you for the time being." Zhao Xiangbo continued to test his expression.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao has to keep his word!" Zhou Xia nodded and agreed immediately without blinking. It felt like she was throwing out the hot potato.

Zhao Xiangbo felt more and more unable to understand Zhou Xia and could not understand what he was thinking about. Millions of things could be handed over to others so easily. With his relationship with the Liu family, it was not difficult to hide this secret porcelain water purification cup. Of course, it was quite difficult to take this thing on sale. The soil stains on the porcelain were quite obvious. Experts knew that it was something new when they were taken. In this regard, the auction company of the Liu family did not dare to openly violate the regulations and commit crimes against the wind.

Zhao Xiangbo is an expert in this field. If these two celadons were in hand, it would be of great significance to him in studying the development history of celadon in the Tang Dynasty. If Zhou Xia was as firm as his previous attitude, Zhao Xiangbo would not have been able to snatch it from him. His generous contribution made Zhao Xiangbo feel a little uncomfortable.

But Zhou Xia looked determined. Zhao Xiangbo was worried and happy. He pinched his nose and recognized him. He wouldn't slap himself in the face!
