Compared with the things happening in the United States, Europe and Japan, the things happening in the Chinese branch are mostly scattered and fragmentary, but there are some things that neither Pete Wu nor Lao Na can make the decision on.
Now that the big boss Yang Jing is here, it becomes very easy to solve these problems.
Pete Wu knew his boss's personality. He didn't like empty talk and liked things to be neat and tidy, so before he entered the house, he gave Yang Jing a general account of the recent situation he was facing. When Yang Jing walked into the main house and saw a room full of precious antiques, he realized that it was time to expand his territory in China.
As soon as he entered the door, Yang Jing saw two half-meter-high pastel-colored peony and plum blossom-patterned celestial globe vases on each side of the door, with straight mouth, square lip, round belly and ring foot. The neck and belly were painted with peony, plum blossom and ganoderma lucidum patterns, with dense and luxuriant plum blossom branches, white and bright glaze, fine painting, bright colors and steady and generous shape.
As soon as Yang Jing saw the two celestial globe vases, his eyes lit up.
"Oh, this is a good thing, Lao Na, did you get this?"
"Well, this is a pair of Qianlong-era pink-glazed celestial globe vases with peony and plum blossom patterns, from the official kiln. Most importantly, this is a pair. A pair of these celestial globe vases are rare items. I bought them from a dealer from Gaobeidian for 5,000 yuan a year ago." Old Na seemed very proud when he said this. These two vases were indeed worthy of his pride. It was really a great bargain to be able to get two such vases for 5,000 yuan.
If this pair of bottles were put up for auction thirty years later, they might fetch a nine-digit price. This is a pair of Qianlong famille roses, and they are so large, and a pair, which is absolutely rare.
Peter Wu said with a smile: "Boss, Lao Na's eyes really impressed me. I have been busy in Nanyun for the past two years, and Lao Na has made great contributions in Yanjing. Look, all the things in this room were collected by Lao Na, and they are all exquisite."
Yang Jing looked up and realized that the originally spacious room had become a little crowded.
In the main room, which is seven and a half meters long and four and a half meters wide, besides the antique furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are rows of antique shelves, which are also made of old wood and filled with all kinds of old objects. The walls are also covered with all kinds of paintings. Yang Jing only used his heavenly eye a little bit, and the precious light in his eyes immediately startled Yang Jing.
Mr. Na stood aside, rubbing his hands and said, "All the things placed here are good things. There is no more room in the basement, so I discussed it with Mr. Wu and built many antique shelves with some old wood. Then I re-selected the things in the basement and picked out the particularly precious ones to place in the house. Now dozens of rooms in the yard are full of them. There is no place to put them..."
"Boss, you have to find a place quickly, otherwise I will have nowhere to put the things I collected. Some things are not suitable to be placed in the basement, but we only have so many rooms, which is really difficult to do!"
Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction and said to Lao Na: "Lao Na, you did a good job. But don't worry, I came here to solve these problems for you."
Peter Wu on the side also said: "Boss, our warehouse for storing jadeite raw stones is out of space. If we continue to import jadeite raw stones from Myanmar, we must build another warehouse. And I think it's best for us to move the warehouse to Yanjing. The current transportation conditions are much better than in previous years. It's not that difficult to travel from Nanyun to Yanjing. The most important thing is that I always feel uneasy when we store so many jadeite raw stones in Nanyun."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "I'm also thinking about this. Come, let's sit down and talk about it."
After Yang Jing sat down on the old Hainan Huanghuali armchair from the Ming Dynasty, the old man made tea for Yang Jing and said with a smile: "Boss, these chairs and tables are nice, right? Two chairs and one table, both are old items from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, made of genuine Hainan Huanghuali wood. I bought them from an old house in Xisanqi last year, and they cost a total of 750 yuan. If it was five or six years ago, this kind of chair would only cost 20 yuan each, but the price has increased a lot in the past two years."
Yang Jing touched the armrest of the chair, feeling the warm and soft touch coming from the armrest of the chair, and said with satisfaction: "Old Na, this is a good thing, seven hundred and fifty, not expensive. If these two chairs and this table were put away for twenty years, the price would not be this much."
Mr. Na naturally had no idea how crazy the Hainan yellow furniture, especially the old Hainan yellow furniture, would become twenty years later. And this complete set of Ming Dynasty old Hainan yellow furniture, in that era, would be worth about seven hundred and fifty yuan, if you added a "ten thousand" at the end.
"Come here, boss, try this tea. This is the pre-rain Longjing tea that I asked my friend in the south to bring back. It costs more than 100 yuan per pound."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance immediately lingered on his cheeks.
"Good tea, this is authentic Longjing before the rain, good stuff!"
As he spoke, Yang Jing noticed that the teacups in his hands were actually a set of purple clay teacups with a very authentic patina. He glanced sideways and found that the teapot for brewing tea was also an old purple clay teapot.
Yang Jing put down the teacup, carefully picked up the teapot and held it up high. He looked at the logo on the bottom of the pot, then put down the teapot with a smile and said, "Old Na, you are really extravagant. You actually let Shi Dabin's diamond flower pot be used to make tea."
"Hey, boss, you don't know this, right? This purple clay teapot is indeed a treasure of Shi Dabin, but it also needs to be taken care of. The more you use it, the more valuable it becomes. I bought this set of teapots two years ago, and I have another set, which also belonged to Shi Dabin. I couldn't bear to use it. If you want to see it, I can bring it to you for you to take a look?"
