Chapter 860: Paper that is more expensive than gold

When Ye Tian returned to the rest area on the first floor, Mr. Liang and the others had finished reading the piece of crow skin yellow. They were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and discussing in a low voice.
From Chen Yan's joyful expression, it can be seen that the skin of this Crow Pitian Huangshi performed well, and the valuation made him more satisfied.
In addition, several shop assistants had already brought the top rice paper that Ye Tian wanted, and placed them on a trolley next to Manager Liu.
The outer packaging of these rice papers is very exquisite and looks very valuable!
The rice paper produced in modern times is basically wrapped in processed paper with exquisite patterns. These processed papers are also top-quality rice paper with the manufacturer, product name, and specifications printed on it.
The famous propaganda produced in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the packaging is very particular, packed in a long mahogany box of different sizes, can not see the condition of the paper inside.
The reason why Ye Tian can judge the year of the rice paper in the box at a glance is of course based on the dazzling light emitted by the rice paper through the box, which is extremely accurate!
Regardless of the quality of the rice paper in the box, just these long and beautifully crafted mahogany boxes are very valuable! Very luxurious!
Seeing Ye Tian approaching, Manager Liu and the three of them immediately stopped talking and all looked here.
Chen Yan stood up quickly and said excitedly:
"Xiaoye, Uncle Liang and the others have finished reading it. You can identify this piece of crow skin yellow. If you are satisfied, we can talk about the deal! Hope everyone is happy!"
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, there is time. Let's take a look at these top rice papers first. The main purpose of my visit to Rongbaozhai this time is to make these top rice papers!"
Ye Tian pointed at the rice paper next to him with a smile on his face and said, preparing to dry this buddy first.
Then, he turned to Manager Liu and said:
"Manager Liu, let's take a look at these rice papers to see if they meet my requirements. If they are indeed top-notch rice papers, it would be great!"
"Don't worry, Xiaoye, this is the treasure of our Rongbaozhai collection for many years. It is all top-quality rice paper. It is definitely the only one in Liulichang. No store can match it!"
With that, Manager Liu stood up and walked to the trolley, full of confidence.
Ye Tian then walked to the trolley and began to appreciate the expensive paper.
In addition to being used for calligraphy and painting, these treasures are also very good investment tools. They have great potential for appreciation and are no weaker than other antique artworks.
The reason why Ye Tian spent a lot of money to buy these top-quality rice papers, besides practicing calligraphy for Grandpa, also means to invest!
When Ye Tian came and stood still, Manager Liu immediately picked up a knife of rice paper on the top of the cart and started to introduce.
"Xiao Ye, this is the'Shi Niu Tang' rice paper produced in the 1970s by the China Xuan Paper Group for Chinese painting master Li Keran, all of which are pure raw Xuan leather.
We have three stocks of this kind of rice paper, namely, four-foot net leather, seven-foot gold list, and Dazhanger. Because of its size, Dazhanger is not convenient to get here!
You can look at the information on the outer packaging. This batch of "Shiniutang" rice paper is completely unopened, and it still retains the appearance when it left the factory in the 1970s, without any change.
"Anhui Jingxian Paper Mill" is the predecessor of China Xuan Paper Group. The certificate, company seal, and production year are all available, which can prove the identity of these top rice papers.
Because the rice paper collections are all done, and these treasures are of high value, it is impossible to open the package, let you see the specific situation of the rice paper inside, I hope you can understand! "
"No problem! Of course I understand this, and I believe that Rong Baozhai will never do things like selling dog meat. How can a century-old shop like you be so down?
I said before that I bought these rice papers for my old man to practice calligraphy, so I don’t need them anymore. Even if I buy them back, I don’t have to use them. A piece of paper can cover a small yard!
When the old man wants to write big characters someday, it will not be too late to buy it again. Today, I will take a look at the four-foot net leather and the seven-foot gold list. If it is really good, then take five knives, enough for some days! "
Ye Tian smiled and spoke a few polite words, and then began to check the batch of rice papers from the "Shi Niu Tang".
As Manager Liu said, there is no problem with the outer packaging of these top-quality rice papers, and they are still in the same state as when they left the factory. You can still see the slogans of that era. The brand of the era can't be clearer!
The year of production, certificate, place of origin, company seal, etc., all relevant information is readily available, and no faults can be seen. It should be genuine "Shi Niu Tang" rice paper.
While looking at the external characteristics of this batch of rice paper, Ye Tian had secretly turned on the perspective and began to check the quality of the rice paper inside to see if it was the same.
When I passed the line of sight, the layer of processed paper wrapped on the outside was instantly seen through, and the condition of the rice paper inside was immediately presented clearly.
The texture is pure white and fine, the texture is clear, and the humidity is moderate. Under perspective, it seems to be able to feel its toughness, soft color, and no irritating feeling. It is obviously a long-collected rice paper.
In just two or three seconds, Ye Tian had determined the identity and quality of this batch of rice paper.
This is the "Shi Niu Tang" rice paper customized by the China Rice Paper Group for the master of Chinese painting Li Keran in the 1970s, no doubt! For its quality, it is definitely one of the top rice paper.
Ye Tian immediately retracted his sight and ended the perspective.
Immediately afterwards, he gently put a knife of rice paper in his hand back on the cart, looked at Manager Liu with a smile and said:
"It deserves to be Rongbaozhai! The sign of Liulichang, there are so many good treasures! This batch of'Shiniutang' rice paper is indeed genuine, with high quality and rare!
That being the case, I won’t be polite to you. The four-foot clean skin will cost five dollars, and the seven-foot gold list will cost five dollars. When the old man runs out of this batch of rice paper, I will come to you to buy it again! "
Upon hearing this, Manager Liu immediately nodded in excitement and said:
"Okay! I will ask the clerk to pack it later, because your purchase quantity is relatively large, with a value of more than 1 million. You are already a big customer of Rongbaozhai and can enjoy some discounts.
As the manager of Rongbaozhai, I can give you a certain discount. I will give you a 5% discount on the retail price. You can buy other rice paper later and enjoy the same discount! "
As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian was about to say a few polite words, and there was an exclamation in his ear.
"Wow! Just a little rice paper! The price actually exceeds 1 million RMB, which is too exaggerated? When is RMB so worthless?"
Chen Yan exclaimed directly, his eyes widened and unbelievable.
He is not an insider in antiques, and he does not understand the price of top-quality rice paper. He came in late just now, and he was naturally shocked that he had not heard the conversation between Ye Tian and the two old men.
"More than 1 million yuan, the price of this ten knives of rice paper has stably exceeded 2 million! The price of a four-foot net leather is 150,000 per knife, and the price of a seven-foot gold list is 250,000 per knife. How much do you think these rice papers are worth?
Xiaoye, I'm sure that your old man is definitely the most extravagant amateur calligraphy enthusiast in Beijing. Even the famous and top calligraphers and painters in China don't have this treatment!
Practicing calligraphy with top-quality rice paper worth more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. Just because you kid is willing, if you have this financial strength, if you want to change to someone else, then you can't feel distressed! Who can afford it? "
Old Liang said with emotion, his eyes were fixed on the top rice paper on the trolley, his envious eyes were red.
"I'll go! More than 2 million yuan. Are these rice papers made of gold? How can they be so expensive? Using it to practice calligraphy is extremely extravagant! I can't imagine it!"
The exclamation again came from Chen Yan, who knew nothing about top rice paper.
Where is this! Need a fuss?
Rice paper worth millions of dollars is just a trivial matter! If you see the national treasure-class Duan inkstone used by the old man, and those Jiajing tribute inks, you won't have a heart burst and die!
Ye Tian smugly complained to himself, but did not respond to Chen Yan and Liang Lao.
When Chen Yan's exclamation fell, Ye Tianma said to Manager Liu with a smile:
"Mr. Liu, thank you. Since there is a discount, then I'm not polite, I'll save a little bit! You can introduce other rice paper, some of which I really don't know!"
"Ok!"
Manager Liu nodded excitedly and immediately began to introduce the rest of the top rice paper.
"This is the'clear water aggravated cold gold' paper produced in the early Qing Dynasty. There are not many existing in the world. It should not exceed 100 dollars. The price is 800,000 yuan per knife. There is no market.
This is the famous ‘Chunhua Xuanyu Jian’, produced in the Qianlong dynasty, with very few stocks in the world, and the value of each knife is more than one million yuan. The folk stock can only be discussed!
"Koryo Paper" in the Kangxi period, 1.2 million per knife; Qianlong patterned paper, 700,000 per knife; in the mid-Qianlong period, "Jade version xuan", 800,000 per knife; in the late Qing Dynasty, "Lu Huangxuan"..."
Following the introduction of Manager Liu, exclamations kept ringing in everyone's ears.
These exclamations naturally came from Chen Yan. Hearing the price of these top rice papers, this buddy's eyes were almost bursting!
While Manager Liu introduced these rice papers, Ye Tian looked at each of the top rice papers and looked very attentively and carefully.
At the same time, he also secretly turned on the perspective, thoroughly perspective these top rice papers, and made some comparisons.
Ten minutes passed quickly, Manager Liu finished the introduction, and Ye Tian also finished checking.
After sitting down and drinking a sip of tea, Ye Tian just smiled and said:
"These rice papers are all very good, each of them can be called top-level famous propaganda, such a good baby is in front of you, of course you can't miss it, otherwise it would be a pity!
Give me another ten-knife jade version of the mid-Qianlong period~EbookFREE.me~Five knives each for four feet and six feet. I will buy so many today. I will come to Rongbaozhai again if I need it.
This kind of top rice paper requires relatively high storage conditions, and the temperature and humidity must be controlled within a certain range. The yard of our house currently cannot meet this condition.
I am going to keep the rice paper I bought in Rongbaozhai. Your warehouse in Rongbaozhai should be the most suitable place to store these treasures. There is no other choice!
Today I only took away two dollars. The others will be put here first. I will pick up the goods if necessary. I wonder if this arrangement will work? Manager Liu, no, I will think of another way! "
"Of course no problem! There are many calligraphers and painters who store paper in Rongbaozhai. We will issue you a VIP card, and you can pick up the paper with the card in the future!"
Manager Liu agreed very happily, that old face full of folds, almost burst into laughter!
And Chen Yan, who had been exclaiming constantly just now, was completely stupid at this time, sitting on the sofa and muttering to herself.
"Someone actually spent more than 10 million yuan on paper! Is this paper or gold? It's crazy!"
