Chapter 13 Telephone Number

 [Three million, three million, enough for a house!]

[From 100 yuan to 30,000 times, how long does it take? How long does it take!]

【Three million is in hand, is one hundred million still far away?】

[Holy shit! Is it really possible to miss 100 million?]

[There is a saying that the first pot of gold is the most difficult, and Su Shen did it.]

[Looking forward to one hundred million! One hundred million!]

【……】

In the live broadcast room, fans were shocked by the increase from 100 yuan to 3 million yuan.

Revel in the possibility of achieving 100 million.

A few meters away,

Yu Qingqian called one after another.

Invite collectors, regular customers and brokers who like porcelain to view the goods.

Su Bai was the only one who frowned without anyone noticing, and fell into shock, confusion, and contemplation.

"How did a priceless orphan become worth 3 million?"

"What is there that I didn't discover or missed?"

Su Bai thought about it, and put his head into the court chair several times, and even reached in to explore.

Except for grabbing a few handfuls of torn cotton wool and finding a few embroidered copper plates, nothing else was found.

The box chair is definitely empty.

He searched again for the old cotton-padded clothes and cotton wool that he had put on the chair next to him and used to fix the porcelain to prevent it from shaking.

Still not!

"Then all that's left is..."

Su Bai turned his attention to the rows of blue and white cups, bowls, plates and bottles made in the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only by looking at it with the naked eye, but also by checking it again with the system.

Not just a single test, but four tests together.

The results have not changed.

Even,

In the system testing, it is obvious that value evaluations such as "picking up missed stories", "story adding value", and "recovering the light of day" are not recognized.

The total of the four items is less than 2.5 million.

Obviously it has nothing to do with priceless orphans.

"It's not a box chair, it's not porcelain, it can't be old newspapers, torn cotton wool, or rusty copper plates, right?"

Su Bai almost had the urge to pull his hair.

"Xiao Su, Xiao Su!"

Yu Qingqian came back from the phone call and called twice,

Su Bai just came back to his senses and asked hurriedly: "Boss Yu, let me ask you for advice."

Boss Yu looked confused: "Let's discuss it."

Su Bai asked: "Among the Ming Dynasty porcelains, is there anything that can be called priceless?"

"Priceless orphan?" Yu Qingqian touched his chin and muttered:

"The 'Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup' should be counted as one, and the auction price was 280 million."

"Whether it's the love story behind it, the craftsmanship of the cup, etc., all things considered, it is truly a priceless piece."

Su Bai shook his head.

The four pieces of blue and white porcelain in front of us obviously cannot be Dou Cai. Even if they are without the love story behind them, the emperor's royal porcelain, etc., they cannot be called priceless pieces.

Yu Qingqian continued: "By the way, there is one piece of blue and white porcelain from Wanli in the Ming Dynasty that should be called a priceless piece."

Su Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn’t this right?

"Real blue and white underglaze red complete porcelain from the Ming Dynasty."

"Currently, broken porcelain fragments from the Yongle period were found in the kiln site.

There is also a piece of blue and white with red underglaze from the Wanli Year hidden in the Forbidden City. It seems to be a picture of a baby playing.

The underglaze red on that piece is just a few small red dots, which is far inferior to the underglaze red on the later Qing Dynasty blue and white ones."

When Yu Qingqian mentioned the "Baby Play Picture", he pointed at the "Ming Wanli Blue and White Baby Play Tray" on the tea table.

Su Bai's eyes moved accordingly, and finally he shook his head in disappointment.

Blue and white underglaze red, like doucai, is a paper-burning craft. As the name suggests, it is red!

Our own blue and white porcelain is so deep and purple that there is no trace of red at all.

"There will be nothing left."

Boss Yu spread his hands and said jokingly: "If you really want to say it, unless it is the legendary Jianwen porcelain, no matter what it is, if it comes out, it will be a priceless one."

"But how is that possible?"

In the live broadcast room, the number of barrages has visibly decreased, and the cheerful atmosphere has also disappeared.

It's just like during math class in school, the children in the classroom have blank faces, and the light in their eyes dims.

[Ming Chenghua Colorful Chicken Cup, what kind of chicken cup can sell for 280 million, even fighting chickens can't do it.]

[Blue and white underglaze red? What is the relationship with the little white dragon in the waves?]

[Don’t make jokes, you are in class, be serious.]

[Speaking of which, why is Jianwen porcelain a priceless treasure?]

Su Bai knew that there was still some common sense in natural history level I, so he changed his mind by popularizing science among netizens:

"Some students don't know why Jianwen porcelain is so priceless and unique. Let me briefly explain it to you here."

"Jianwen porcelain, as the name suggests, is porcelain made in the Jianwen year of the Ming Dynasty."

"Emperor Jianwen was the grandson of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, so he was the son of Prince Zhu Biao. That's right, he was the only tragic emperor in Chinese history who was successfully rebelled by a feudal king."

"The vassal king who successfully rebelled was the uncle of Emperor Jianwen, and later the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di."

"Originally, Jianwen's dynasty was only a short time ago, and the official kilns did not produce many porcelains. In addition, after all, Zhu Di was trying to steal the throne from his nephew to save face. During his reign, he tried his best to erase the traces of Emperor Jianwen. Jianwen Porcelain estimates that

It was almost completely destroyed and abandoned."

"Anyway, there is not a single one handed down from generation to generation."

"If there really is one, it will be a genuine one-of-a-kind piece, priceless!"

After Su Bai finished speaking, amid the barrage of "I learned it" and "Hello, Teacher Su, Goodbye, Teacher Su" in the live broadcast room, an idea suddenly came to him.

"Huh?"

"Is there such a possibility..."

Su Bai grabbed the stack of old newspapers with his backhand and flipped through it quickly, raising a lot of dust and making Yu Qingqian choke and cough repeatedly.

Relying on the mask to protect his body and his glasses to cover his body, Su Bai didn't react at all. His eyes quickly swept over, and finally settled on the "Dazhong Daily" with the headline "Chinese Giant Panda Meets New York Audience for the First Time."

At the top of the newspaper, there is a blurry line of seven-digit numbers written in pencil that cannot be noticed unless you look closely.

"Is this..."

Su Bai had a vague guess and asked:

"Boss Yu, what was the phone number of our Magic City in the 1980s and 1990s?

I was young and don’t remember.”

Yu Qingqian opened his mouth and gave the answer:

"In 1989, the number 6 was promoted to 7. In 1995, the number 7 was promoted to 8. From 19 to 2020, the number 8 was promoted to 9."

"Xiao Su, are you interested in this? Here, find an old guy to show you."

Yu Qingqian found an album that looked like a stamp album, flipped through it, and pulled out a yellow kraft paper card, which looked like a library index card.

It reads: A concise comparison table of six and seven-digit phone numbers in Shanghai.

Below is a table that clearly states the original six-digit phone number. Because the first digit on the header is different, what number needs to be added in front to turn it into a seven-digit phone number.

For example, if a six-digit phone number starting with 2 is added to the front, it will become a seven-digit phone number starting with 32.

"I understand."

While Yu Qing was fiddling with money, Su Bai conducted a controlled experiment and silently memorized the seven-digit number in his mind. Finally, he stretched out his hand and erased the blurred pencil numbers until they were no longer legible.

"This is a phone number!"
