Chapter 512 2, The Voice of Money
After leaving Yerengou, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan had no plans to return to Ganggangyingzi. Instead, they discussed with Rosen on the way about returning to the capital as soon as possible.
Rosen did not object to this and said to Yingzi, "There are still a lot of supplies left by the Japanese in the Kwantung Army fortress. When you go back, you can tell Yanzi and we can discuss how to deal with them."
Then he took out a small deerskin bag and handed it to her, saying, "I made this from the skin of the musk deer you hunted on the road. My craftsmanship is average, so you can just use it. I've expanded the space inside for you. It's about half a cubic meter, so it can be used for at least three to five years."
"Uncle Luo, are you leaving?" Yingzi looked at Rosen with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah." Rosen nodded and said, "We all have things to do, and we can't stay in this deep forest forever. It's about time we go back now."
"Then when will you come back?" Yingzi asked again.
"I will definitely come back once we finish our work." Wang Kaixuan said with a smile.
"You promise?"
"Promise." The three men looked at each other and answered vaguely. They all felt that it was a bit stupid to fool the girl in front of them with such words.
"Don't worry." Hu Bayi said, "We've already said that we will help our fellow villagers get rich together. We will definitely not default on our debts."
"Yeah." Yingzi nodded with relief.
After they got out of the boundless primeval forest, Rosen and the other two waved goodbye to Yingzi again before riding away on their centaurs.
Yingzi rode a horse and took the dogs with her, chasing after them for a long time before leaving in tears.
"Hey, Yingzi is a very loyal girl. Now I feel jealous." Wang Kaixuan muttered while sitting in the back of the car, his eyes were indeed a little red.
"If you have this intention, go back and buy that pair of jade discs and give more money to the villagers," said Rosen.
"That's for sure." Wang Kaixuan said with a smile: "Boss Luo, you don't want this pair of jade discs, but do you want the porcelain?"
"You kid fooled me before, didn't you?" Rosen scolded with a smile, and said, "Okay, I'll take a look when I get back. If the things are to my liking, I won't let you suffer a loss in terms of price. But I have to say in advance, after you make money, don't forget what you said to the villagers."
"That definitely won't happen." Wang Kaixuan said, patting his chest.
After a bumpy journey, it was four days later when we returned to the capital.
When he got home, Wang Kaixuan didn't even bother to wash his face, but took out the good things he had hidden along the way.
Rosen was really surprised when he saw the Jianzhan teapot in front of him with its thick body and simple glaze.
He had guessed that Wang Kaixuan would definitely get something when he went to the tomb to look for ceramics for the last time, but he didn't expect that it would be such a great thing that could be called a national treasure.
But it makes sense if you think about it. After all, the heyday of Jianzhan was during the Song Dynasty. At that time, Jianzhan was sought after by nobles and powerful people, and was recited and played with by literati and scholars.
However, starting from the Yuan Dynasty, it gradually fell into neglect. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jian Kiln was almost forgotten, and Jianzhan was even less mentioned.
It will take some more years for it to flourish again. Now, people can't even get enough food, so how many people would drink tea and play with Jianzhan?
In other words, Rosen recognized this thing and knew its price. If it were someone else, Wang Kaixuan might not be able to sell it at a high price. After all, Jianzhan is still too far away for ordinary people. (Note)
"How much do you want?" Rosen asked.
"Boss Luo, how much can you give?" Wang Kaixuan asked seriously, without a smirk.
"This thing is in very good condition. It would be a priceless treasure in the hands of the Japanese. Even if I offer you a price, it should be at least this much." As he said this, Rosen raised two fingers towards him.
"How much money?" Wang Kaixuan said in amazement.
"twenty."
"Only twenty dollars?" Wang Kaixuan was immediately like a deflated ball, and said depressedly: "It's a priceless treasure, and this is it?!"
"Twenty bucks is bullshit." Rosen glared at him and said, "It's two hundred thousand."
"RMB?"
"Bullshit, US dollars." Rosen glared at him and really wanted to slap him in the face.
"Oh my God." Wang Kaixuan was stunned at the time. Not only were the muscles on his face twitching, but both of them were trembling.
"If you drop this thing, it will be worthless," said Rosen.
After one sentence, Wang Kaixuan stopped shaking, held the Jianzhan in front of him steadily with both hands, and said, "Boss Luo, do you want it?"
"I definitely want it, but before that, you'd better go out with Lao Hu and ask around for it." Rosen said.
"Why?" Wang Kaixuan didn't understand for a moment.
"Brother Luo, since we have made a gentleman's agreement with you, we will definitely not go back on our word. Besides, the reason we can get this thing is because of your previous reminder. So even if you want it, just give us half of it." Hu Bayi said.
"No regrets?"
"No." Hu Bayi shook his head.
"Okay then." Rosen immediately took out 100,000 US dollars from his storage compartment and threw it in front of them, saying, "The money is yours."
"Please keep it." Wang Kaixuan pushed the Jianzhan in his hand in front of Rosen.
Rosen took it, looked at it, and then put it into the storage compartment.
He no longer wanted to make money by tinkering with this thing. He just wanted to buy some genuine good stuff at a low price in this world and then take it back home as a decoration.
Just like this Jianzhan, it is certainly not used to drink tea, but it is still quite good to appreciate and play with it. After all, it is an antique, and it is definitely better than those made in later generations, which have a more historical charm.
"Old Hu, we are rich now." Wang Kaixuan looked at the green US dollars in front of him and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"I'm going to remind you two." Rosen tapped the table with his fingers and said, "It's okay to be rich, but spend it slowly. I don't need to tell you that you shouldn't show off your wealth, right?"
"We understand." Hu Bayi nodded, took the money, pulled Wang Kaixuan out of Rosen's house.
The two returned to Wang Kaixuan's house and immediately divided the $100,000 they had just received.
"Old Hu, it feels so good to be rich. I feel a little dizzy and want to buy something." Wang Kaixuan took out a US dollar and flicked it with his fingers, making a snapping sound. He said, "Listen, this sound is better than the Great Unity."
"What nonsense! It's not worth the money." Hu Bayi glared at him and said, "Look at how useless you are. Put the money away quickly."
"No, I've thought about it. I have to go out and spend some money today, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable." Wang Kaixuan took a stack of US dollars and was about to put it into his pocket.
"No, this money can't be used for the time being." Hu Bayi shook his head.
"What?"
"This is US dollars. How many people can easily take out so many US dollars now?" Hu Bayi said, "Besides, who are we originally? We have so many US dollars in our hands for no apparent reason. Anyone would suspect that there is something wrong with us."
"So I was poor when I had no money, and I'm still poor now that I have money. Then my work is in vain?!" Wang Kaixuan slammed the table in dissatisfaction.
"Don't we still have a pair of jade pendants?" Hu Bayi thought for a moment and said, "Let's sell them and exchange them for RMB. We can keep these US dollars first. We never know when they will be needed."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Note: This is my true feeling. Dear readers, you can think about when you knew about this thing.
In addition, Jianzhan was not a rare item in history, especially during the Song Dynasty. It was mentioned in the poems of many literati at that time.
Given the cultural superiority of the two Song dynasties at the time, I think it makes sense that foreigners of the same period would have yearned for this thing and prepared some for burial.
Don't take it too seriously, I just made this up.
