Chapter 197: Uncle
Yang Bo was going back later, but Gui Rongjiu and Mei Chaoning couldn't wait to go back. They actually booked the same flight as Gu Changshun.
Fatty Liu was very sorry to see the two of them leaving. He tried to stay for a long time. Until the two of them left, he even sighed and said, "It's such a pity that I can't cooperate with these two teachers!"
Gui Rongjiu laughed and comforted: "There will be many opportunities in the future. If we go back this time, if we can negotiate well, we will still come back."
Fatty Liu said helplessly: "Well, we can only talk about it then."
Yang Bo, Gui and Mei said goodbye reluctantly, sent them blessings, and sent them off to the car.
As soon as the car left, Fatty Liu couldn't wait to say: "Quick, let's go to Potsdam!"
"Potsdam?" Yang Bo was a little surprised.
"Of course I went to the Chinese collector, he lives in Potsdam!" Fatty Liu explained.
Potsdam is located in the southwestern suburbs of Berlin, on the banks of the Havel River. It was the venue for the famous Potsdam Conference at the end of World War II. The ancient capital of Potsdam is surrounded by the Elbe River, the Havel River, and numerous lakes and forests.
After taking the high-speed train from Berlin, it took only half an hour for the two of them to arrive in Potsdam. After taking a taxi, they headed straight for the suburbs.
Half of the city of Potsdam is covered with hotels, casinos, musicians and shopping malls. There are fountains, tree-lined avenues and benches in the nearby park, and at the end of the sight are palaces and ruins.
When they arrived at the outskirts, Yang Bo asked Fatty Liu, "What does he do?"
"Collector." Fatty Liu said.
Yang Bo was a little surprised, "Do you specialize in collecting?"
"I heard that this is the case, but I think the possibility is relatively small. There are not many people in China who can truly collect full-time, let alone collect Chinese cultural relics abroad?" Fatty Liu said.
"In other words, you don't understand the situation either?" Yang Bo looked over.
Fatty Liu was stunned for a moment and nodded awkwardly, "I can't say that completely. I still know a little bit of information. The man came to Germany to work as a chef in the 1980s. After a few years of busy work, he opened a restaurant of his own.
, and then the business became more and more popular, so we opened two chain stores.”
"After opening a chain store, he handed over the business to his son, and when he had some free time, he began to collect. Speaking of which, he has only been collecting for more than ten years, but he already has thousands of items in his collection.
Got it!"
Yang Bo was very surprised. Only an expert like him would understand that a thousand pieces is really a large number for an individual. He looked towards Fatty Liu and saw that he was smiling, so he couldn't help but ask
: "Since you know these circumstances, what is the other party's name?"
"Liu Jiajun." Fatty Liu said.
Yang Bo paused, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
"After all, we haven't released the fifth server yet, so we can be considered distant cousins." Fatty Liu explained.
Yang Bo smiled and said, "Uncle from far away, no wonder you can contact collectors in Germany. It's really amazing!"
While talking, the car stopped and he paid the fare. Yang Bo got out of the car and saw a small white villa not far away. The villa was small and smart, surrounded by a white wooden fence. Fruit trees were planted in the yard.
vegetable bed.
Fatty Liu took out his mobile phone and made a call. Soon, a person walked out of the villa. He was in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair.
Fatty Liu rushed over and said in disbelief: "Are you Uncle Jiajun?"
Liu Jiajun stared at Fatty Liu, a little surprised, "Are you Jia Chang's child?"
Fatty Liu nodded quickly, "Uncle, it's me!"
Liu Jiajun actually hugged Fatty Liu, tears streaming down his face.
Yang Bo looked at the situation in front of him and was greatly surprised. Looking at Liu Jiajun's behavior, he must have not gone home for so many years. Could it be that Fatty Liu brought him here to recognize his relatives?
After a while, the two stopped crying. Liu Jiajun looked at Yang Bo and Fatty Liu, "Who is this?"
"He is a good friend of mine and came with me." Fatty Liu explained.
Liu Jiajun nodded and gestured toward the room: "Come in and sit down. I'm so happy that you can come here today. I've even forgotten to ask you to sit down. Sit down quickly and I'll help you pour water."
Liu Jiajun treated the two of them very warmly, and there was no one else in the room. After chatting for a few words, Fatty Liu finally said, "Uncle, before I came here, a friend mentioned that you are doing antique business here.
I asked him for photos and asked about his family, and then I found out you were here!"
Liu Jiajun smiled and said, "I am in the antique business. I just collected some things in the past few years and have never sold them."
"Can you let me come and take a look? I am also doing this business in China." Fatty Liu said.
Liu Jiajun was a little surprised, and then he laughed again, "That's great. I have been collecting alone these years, and there are few German experts to communicate with. I didn't expect to meet someone knowledgeable in my life. We need to communicate well."
ah!"
"That's for sure." Fatty Liu smiled.
Although it is said to have thousands of collections, Liu Jiajun's collection room is not very big. It only uses a bedroom and is surrounded by closets. Putting these antiques together, it is quite shocking at first glance.
"My grandfather used to run a pawn shop. I have a very vivid memory when I was a child. I often saw my grandfather carrying a jar and exchanging it for a few dollars. At that time, I looked under our shop and saw that they were all this kind of porcelain." Liu Jiajun introduced.
Fatty Liu nodded beside him, "I've heard about this too. My great-uncle did open a pawn shop, but it was closed later."
Liu Jiajun smiled and said, "When I first arrived here, I found a surprising place. On the Potsdam Pedestrian Street and a street next to the city hall, there are many antique shops and stamp and coin shops."
"At that time, I was working in a restaurant and was responsible for washing dishes. My monthly salary was 1,200 marks, which was about 840 US dollars. However, my salary in China was only 35 yuan. The first salary was a small amount for me.
A huge sum of money. When I got my first salary, I immediately bought a piece of ancient porcelain for 1,090 marks, and I couldn’t stop it from then on.”
"I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy this house full of collections. I have all the Ming and Qing porcelains, the five official kilns of the Song Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup!"
Yang Bo looked over in surprise. He looked at Liu Jiajun and thought to himself, could it be that this man also had special powers like himself? Only in this way could he miss so many treasures with hundreds of thousands.
Fatty Liu looked at Yang Bo with a bitter look on his face and shook his head slightly.
Yang Bo didn't understand what Fatty Liu meant, but Liu Jiajun became more and more excited as he talked, "I recently read the news that a German collector sold Chenghua Dou Color Chicken Cup for a price as high as 300 million yuan. Oh my god, I'm so excited
Pieces must be worth at least 400 million!"
