Although there was no success at the Fuduhui auction, at least Chen Liang learned about the madness of the art collection industry.

"Miss Yu, what does it feel like to drink tea with a tea cup worth more than one billion?"

During this period, Chen Liang and Yu Ji were getting closer. The two often made an appointment to have tea together, as if they had entered the so-called "honeymoon period".

At this time, Yu Ji was holding the Mingchenghua Doucai Chicken Cup that she had photographed on Fuduhui a few days ago.

It is said that this thing is an imperial wine glass fired by the Imperial Kiln Factory in Jingdezhen, Chenghua, Ming Dynasty. It is only for the emperor to enjoy. Because the pattern of chicken is painted at the bottom of the cup and the appearance resembles a water tank, it is named the chicken jar cup.

There are more than one billion treasures, and others are careful to buy them when they are bought home, but she actually uses them for tea.

This woman's fierceness can be seen.

"I don't feel anything, and it's even worse than an ordinary purple clay cup. If Mr. Chen is curious, why don't you lend it to you?"

Yu Ji was very generous and acted as a gesture to hand over the teacup.

But Chen Liang could not answer, so he immediately raised his hand and refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Yu. If you accidentally slip your hand, I can't afford it."

He is polite to the other party, but he naturally won't take it seriously.

This is a treasure worth more than one million yuan, and you must know that the other party has used it, so he is not so ignorant.

"Miss Yu, this cup doesn't look special, why is it so expensive?"

At that time, Yu Ji spent 150 million to buy this chicken cup. This was due to Yu Ji's energy in the East China Sea and not many people bid for it. Otherwise, the final transaction price would be more than that.

Even if it is made of pure gold, it shouldn't be sold so much.

"When the chicken jar is fired, it must be glazed twice and then refueled twice. During this period, there are countless waste products. A successful Doucai porcelain is based on a huge waste product, and the cost can be imagined."

Yu Ji explained without any haste: "And the official kiln porcelain is not used for commodity circulation, so it is strictly selected, and good tribute is paid, and it is buried in miscellaneous times. According to the records of Shenzong, there was a pair of Cheng Cups in front of the Emperor Shangshi in Shenzong, which was priced at 100,000 yuan. Just 100 years after the Ming Dynasty, by the time of Emperor Wanli of Shenzong, the cup in Chenghua was worth 100,000 yuan per pair. This was a very expensive porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. After more than 500 years, there were only a few that could be kept in the world, at most less than 20. Most of them were stored in museums everywhere, and the price was quite rare among the people. This price is natural."

Chen Liang looked surprised and sighed: "Ms. Yu is really knowledgeable."

This sentence is not a compliment.

He almost thought that the historian was sitting in front of him.

The reason why successful people succeed is not unreasonable.

It is hard to imagine that the other party can even understand this historical origin so clearly.

Chen Liang doesn’t know how much he knows about these.

At least he knows nothing.

"People who play collecting actually understand these things. Otherwise, they will suffer a big loss. If I don't know the value of this chicken jar cup, how could I spend so much money to bid? I really think I have a lot of money."

This sentence seems unintentional, but why does it sound a bit insinuated by the Shanghai Emperor?

She held the chicken jar cup worth over 100 million and looked at it: "Actually, there is a sad and beautiful royal love story behind this chicken jar cup."

Chen Liang raised his eyebrows and acted as if he was calm.

"I hope to hear the details."

"In his childhood, Emperor Chenghua suffered from major changes and felt serious insecurity. The frightened caused him to suffer from severe stuttering and his reaction was slow. The palace maid Wan began to take care of him at the age of 19. Emperor Chenghua relied on Wan very much on him. The long-term relationship made him develop a complex relationship with Wan's wife and mother."

"When Emperor Chenghua was 14 years old, he recruited Concubine Wan, 33, into the Eastern Palace and adopted him as a concubine. According to records, Emperor Chenghua admired the pictures of the children and hens painted by the Song people. He was quite touched when he saw the warm scene of the hens carrying the chicks for food. He also wrote a poem to praise the hens for their love for the chicks, which also indicates that he was carefully cared for and cared for by Concubine Wan since childhood, and this was the scene of the hens carrying the chicks for food in the chicken jar cup."

"Concubine Wan likes Doucai porcelain very much, especially the Chicken Gate Cup. In order to please her, Emperor Chenghua ordered the Jingdezhen official kiln to be fired in large quantities. As a witness to the love between Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan, the base of the Chicken Gate Cup is also written by Emperor Chenghua himself."

As he said that, Yu Ji turned over the chicken cup and placed it on the coffee table. There was indeed a signature "Made in Chenghua, the Ming Dynasty" at the bottom.

"It is precisely because of Concubine Wan's love for porcelain that the prosperity of Doucai porcelain during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. In 1487, Concubine Wan died, and Emperor Chenghua was overly sad and died seven months later. The love story of the imperial concubines made the priceless chicken cup."

Chen Liang sighed: "It seems that he doesn't have a certain level of education and has no confidence to attend the auction. Miss Yu, you are not a graduate of the history department, right?"

Yu Ji smiled.

"I can't compare to you, I haven't been to college."

Chen Liang was not surprised.

What comes out of college is not necessarily all talents, nor all talents have gone to college.

"Ms. Yu, since you know so well about art collections, do you know, besides auctions, what other channels can be used to trade art?"

He asked staring at the chicken cup on the coffee table.

Yu Ji's eyes showed doubts.

Chen Liang further explained.

"For example, if I have a treasure in my hand now, but I don't want to auction it publicly, what else can I do to sell it?"

"It's very simple, either look for a buyer, communicate privately, or go to the black market."

"black market?"

Chen Liang raised his eyebrows.

Yu Ji nodded.

"There is black and there will be white. Not all cultural relics and treasures are reasonable and legal. For example, treasures dug from tomb robbers and theft income cannot be obtained at the regular auction, and the black market came into being."

"In the black market, the price may not be higher than that of auctions, but at least it provides a channel for monetization for those unlit objects."

After pausing, Yu Ji asked, "I don't know what treasures Mr. Chen wants to sell? If I'm interested, maybe we can talk."

Yu Ji is obviously a collector, but Chen Liang doesn't think she can eat "Mona Lisa".

He has to take some risks when he says it.

This went against his original intention.

"I'm just curious about asking."

I don’t know if I can see Chen Liang’s insincere words, maybe I can see that, but Yu Ji didn’t ask in depth either.

Who doesn't have their own privacy and secrets.

"If there is really something to do, I can give Mr. Chen a website. It is all buyers and sellers from all over the world, and the security is very high. Whether it is Taobao or selling things, it should be able to meet your needs."

Chen Liang's expression moved.

It sounds pretty good.

"Then please give me this website."
