Chapter 460 Thrift Store
This store is guaranteed to be authentic, which is very good.
It is rare to see such a conscientious antique shop abroad, and Luo Hao looked at the goods they placed seriously.
This is an antique shop opened by Chinese people. Among them, the majority of the collections in China account for more than 60%. Among these 60%, porcelain is the most common, bronze and jade are the second.
However, calligraphy and painting are rare.
It can be understood if you think about it. This is abroad, not domestic. There are not many people who can appreciate our Chinese paintings. European and Westerners still like their oil paintings more.
Luo Hao looked at him one by one, while Li Zhirong and Jiang Kuan were chatting without a word.
Jiang Kuan had known that Li Zhirong would come to participate in this appreciation conference, but he really didn't know much about Luo Hao.
Luo Hao is famous in China, but the time is too short and he is too young, so some people are not, so those who pay special attention to him will not know at all.
But Jiang Kuan knew about another thing about Luo Hao, that is, jade carvings.
Jiang Kuan was very surprised to learn that Luo Hao in front of him was the jade carving master.
He knew about the birth of the Jade Carving Master in China, and also knew Luo Hao's name. He had talked to his friends before, "The Jade Carving Master," such people are all famous people who have been eternal. Just meet and get to know each other."
When he was talking, he never expected that he would really know Luo Hao this day.
Luo Hao picked six pieces of porcelain, three pieces of pastel, and three pieces of blue and white.
They are all authentic products from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but only one is an official kiln, a small bowl with dragon pattern and yellow color in the Qing Dynasty. That official kiln is this one.
Although it is a small bowl with dragon pattern and mainly yellow color, the price is not particularly high because it is an official kiln in the late Qing Dynasty.
If it were the real imperial small bowl from Kangxi to Qianlong period in the Qing Dynasty, then this would be valuable.
At least tens of millions.
"Mr. Luo, I'm very happy to know you. I'll give you 20% off on everything you bought today!"
When Luo Hao chose the good things to pay, Jiang Kuan shook hands with him excitedly. Luo Hao smiled and nodded directly, "Thank you then!"
Although he was choosing things just now, his ears were not idle.
He could hear everything Li Zhirong and Jiang Kuan were talking and saying clearly.
I know that Jiang Kuan is like this entirely because of his title as the Master of Jade Carvings.
"You are kind to you. It is our honor to be able to come to the shop like a master!
Jiang Kuan laughed and packed all the six pieces of porcelain selected by Luo Hao for him. The six pieces of porcelain were added together, a total of 180,000 Australian dollars, which was less than one million yuan.
The most expensive one is the small pastel bowl of the official kiln, about 150,000 Australian dollars, and the remaining five pieces together are only 30,000 euros.
The reason why Luo Hao bought this is because they are representative and can be used as exhibits in the museum in the future. Luo Hao’s biggest and busiest job is now, and I’m afraid that it will collect collections for the museum.
According to Shangxin's estimate, before he opened, Shangxin could help him raise more than 10,000 collections.
Some of these collections come from other museums, while others are folk collections.
If the donor explains that the collections raised from donations cannot be sold, they can only be used as exhibits and will always be placed in the museum.
However, as long as the collections that Luo Hao himself collects are not something that cannot be sold by national laws, he can do it if he wants to sell.
It’s just that Luo Hao doesn’t know how to sell it himself.
"Uncle Li, Mr. Luo, please walk slowly!"
After packing up the things, the two of them were about to leave, and Jiang Kuan even sent them to the door.
"Luo Hao, are you going back to the hotel or keep walking?"
After leaving the door, Li Zhirong asked Luo Hao, they arrived at noon, and now they only arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, but this is the time in Australia. If calculated according to Beijing time, it is now after twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
The time difference is not too big.
"Master Li, why don't we take a walk again!"
After thinking about it, Luo Hao replied that this time difference is nothing to him. Even if it is a twelve-hour time difference, Luo Hao will be energetic and can not sleep without adjusting the time difference.
"Okay, I don't want to go back so early, so let Lao Shang sleep alone!"
Li Zhirong laughed, and did not forget to tease Shang Xin.
Shang Xin's body is indeed not as good as Li Zhirong. If Luo Hao had not used the spirit beast fish to condition him some time ago, his health would have been worse.
Mainly, when they were young, they suffered a lot of hardships. When Shang Xin was young, they were in a special era and they couldn't do anything without suffering. Therefore, many of their generation fell into the root of their illness when they were young, and when they got older, they showed up.
Luo Hao is very powerful, but he is just strong in his internal strength and does not know how to do medical skills. He has no way to help Shang Xin truly regulate it.
"I have been to this Chinatown more than a dozen times. It is said to be Chinatown. In fact, in recent years, more and more Australians have moved in!"
Li Zhirong said while walking.
Chinatown was the first place where Chinese people gathered.
Chinese are a hard-working nation. They go the same place, can do it, and endure hardships. Gradually, Chinatown was developed by them.
Some people saw that the business here was good, and they were jealous of the here and occupied the Chinese shops.
Such examples are available in any country, not just Sydney.
In Sydney Chinatown, only about 30% of the real Chinese are left, and the remaining 70% are no longer Chinese. However, according to the hard work of Chinese people, they can survive anywhere as long as they are willing.
"This store was opened by Chinese people before, but now it has changed!"
When he walked to a thrift store, Li Zhirong looked at the signboard and sighed a little.
Luo Hao looked inside and found that there was a white man sitting in the store. Although the signboard was in traditional Chinese, it was already foreigners from the inside to the outside.
"Go in and take a look!"
Li Zhirong said, and Luo Hao followed him into the store.
Thrift stores are rare in the country now, but they are still relatively common in abroad.
The so-called thrift store refers to a store selling some second-hand items. There are still second-hand furniture and appliances in China, but there are few small things.
It’s different from abroad, from rings, watches, furniture and TVs to thrift stores.
In addition to these things, thrift stores also sell some old goods and historical antiques.
Li Zhirong once picked up a leak in a thrift store, but not here, but in the UK, when he was teaching Luo Hao before, he talked about this.
