This is how the relationship between Ganqing and others was formed. In the future, when these two people go to the police station, they will call me if they have no choice. If they eat a meal for nothing today and leave a personal favor, they will definitely have to repay it later.

This official uses the government's money to win favors, but he has to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Zhuang Rui couldn't help but admire Ouyang Jun now. Others were begging for government officials, but Ouyang Jun only used a club to integrate these resources and let those officials rush to send him money.

The whole thing turned upside down.

After Mayor Xue and Director Xia said goodbye, Zhuang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. It was so tiring to talk to these old foxes. There was a hidden edge in every sentence. If you were not careful, your bottom would be revealed. Zhuang Rui didn't want to be exposed.

Outsiders think that he is flaunting outside under the banner of the Ouyang family.

"Xugong, let's go to the room to talk..."

Zhuang Rui pulled Xu Guoqing to go to the room, but he was pulled back by Li Dali, "Mr. Zhuang, when you come to Shishi, why don't you ask me to fulfill my duty as a landlord? I have arranged all the activities for the evening.

Already..."

Li Dali still has some energy in Shishi. During the break of dinner just now, he went out to book a nightclub and called a few good female students from Shishi Art School, so he planned to greet Zhuang Rui in the evening.

"Forget it, Mr. Li, Xugong and I have some serious business to discuss. I accept your offer. You can go and have fun..."

Zhuang Rui shook his head. He was not very interested in those entertainment venues, and seeing the way Li Dali spoke, it was probably a bit erotic. His wife was pregnant, and Zhuang Rui didn't want to do anything cheating.

"Mr. Zhuang, this is not okay..."

"Mr. Li, it goes without saying. You guys have a good time. I have something to do tomorrow. I'm done talking today and I'm going back to *** early tomorrow morning..."

Zhuang Rui waved his hand to interrupt Li Dali's words. Seeing Zhuang Rui's insistence, Li Dali could only leave angrily with Yu Zhengjun. This arranged program was an advantage for Yu Zhengjun.

"Peng Fei, go back and rest..."

Director Xia opened three rooms for Zhuang Rui. After Zhuang Rui let Peng Fei do his own thing, he took Xu Guoqing to his room.

"Brother Zhuang, I really want to thank you for what happened this time..."

Xu Guoqing is not a fool either. He knows that if it were not for Zhuang Rui today, he might have to stay in the bureau for a few days, and the recipes for firing Tang Sancai and Cizhou Kiln would also fall into that trap.

*Human hand.

"Xugong, I won't mention these words. I admire you very much for your ability to imitate Tang Sancai and Cizhou official kiln just out of interest. Those so-called masters who are researchers at the national salary level are far behind you.

Already..."

Zhuang Rui stood up and poured Xu Guoqing a cup of tea. Although this guest house was not very eye-catching, Zhuang Rui took a look and saw that the tea leaves on the table were actually top-quality Yuqian tea that costs thousands of yuan per tael. It can be seen that usually

The people who entertained us were all of high status.

"Mr. Zhuang, the firing formula of Tang Sancai is relatively mature, but Cizhou kiln porcelain is still in the experimental stage. Although the preliminary embryo making and painting work have been completed, the firing temperature is not yet complete.

I'm afraid it will take a lot of experiments to master it..."

Xu Guoqing corrected Zhuang Rui's statement. He judged the soil and glaze used for porcelain based on a large number of Cizhou kiln fragments that his father had used. It took several years of experiments to complete the preliminary embryonic work, but just as he

When I was about to start firing, I didn't realize that I was already bankrupt.

"Mr. Zhuang, do you still want Tang Sancai? I can take the time to burn it for you. The technology is relatively mature and the cost is not too high..."

Xu Guoqing was really grateful to Zhuang Rui, and he kept guessing about Zhuang Rui's thoughts. The other party came to look for him after seeing the Tang Sancai he made, so Xu Guoqing guessed that Zhuang Rui still wanted the three-color pottery figurines.

.

Zhuang Rui thought for a moment and said: "If I want Tang Sancai, Lao Li still needs dozens of pieces. It's not urgent. I want Cizhou porcelain now. I wonder how long it will take Xugong to bake it?"

The price of Tang Sancai in the international market, especially the three-color pottery figurines of good quality, is much higher than that in the domestic market. There are many foreign collectors who like to collect Tang Sancai. Zhuang Rui wants to release a batch, so he can fool them first.

Let’s talk about some foreigners’ money.

However, the number of porcelains released must not be large. Only two or three pieces can be released at a time, and the places where they appear must be dispersed. One piece from Germany and one from France, so as not to arouse the suspicion of international auction houses.

Therefore, the dozens of pieces Li Dali had were enough for Zhuang Rui to work for a period of time. More importantly, those porcelains had been artificially aged, which also saved Zhuang Rui a process, otherwise

It's still quite troublesome.

The distressing of porcelain alone is a very tedious process. The more primitive method is to first use cowhide to wipe off the shine on the surface. This process can last at least a few weeks and as long as two months.

Then, put the porcelain into water with tea leaves and alkali, and boil it for 5-6 hours to remove the "gloss" on the surface. There are also some things to pay attention to. Hydrofluoric acid and water are generally used to remove the luster of high-temperature porcelain, while for low-temperature porcelain, hydrofluoric acid and water are used to remove the luster.

For light, use potassium permanganate plus a trace amount of acid and water.

Finally, apply shoe polish on the porcelain and bury it in the soil. The surface of the porcelain will "eat" the soil into the porcelain, thus creating an antique feel.

Although this method is time-consuming, the distressing effect is much better than the method of directly polishing the porcelain with fine sandpaper, and the patina effect after mud is also much higher than that of rapid distressing.

method.

There are many ways to make porcelain look old, such as abrasion, peeling off glaze, poking bubbles, removing flames, coloring, and rusting, etc. I will briefly mention them here, and I won’t go into details for the professional ones.

Xu Guoqing heard Zhuang Rui's question, thought for a moment, and said: "It will probably take at least half a year to restore Cizhou porcelain, and, and..."

"Speak directly if Xugong has something to say, and it will be fine..."

Seeing Xu Guoqing's stubbornness, Zhuang Rui seemed to have something to hide.

Xu Guoqing scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Brother Zhuang, I used to only care about my own interests and hobbies. I cared too little about my family. My children were so angry that they went back to their parents' home. I...I wanted you to give me

Of the 500,000, I gave 300,000 to my wife, but the remaining 200,000 may not be enough to test the Cizhou kiln porcelain..."

After Xu Guoqing went through today's episode, he realized that his family had not received a penny since 2000, and his wife and children had been suffering with him, so he said these words.

"Then how much more funds do you need?" Zhuang Rui asked.

"It's hard to say, porcelain clay is not valuable, but the glaze is very expensive, and there will be a lot of waste in the beginning. If everything goes well, five or six million will be enough. If it gets stuck, I'm afraid even two or three million won't be able to solve the problem.

…”

Xu Guoqing's tens of millions of net worth was lost due to such efforts. Looking back now, he felt a little like in a dream. He was so poor that he could hardly afford to eat. Why was he still so interested in porcelain?

But if Xu Guoqing is allowed to return to the laboratory now, I'm afraid this guy will still dive in and ignore worldly affairs.

Zhuang Rui unconsciously tapped the table top of the glass coffee table with the middle finger of his right hand and began to think deeply. Xu Guoqing didn't know what Zhuang Rui was thinking and didn't say anything. The room fell silent for a while.

After about ten minutes, Zhuang Rui said: "Well, XCMG, I have an idea. Do you think it will work? There is no need to open your factory again. I will invest and transform the factory into a factory."

Do you think it would be possible to create a laboratory that specializes in the restoration of ancient ceramics?"

"That's fine, but brother, this laboratory is a money-burning business. It's fine that I like this, but all your money will be wasted..."

Of course Xu Guoqing had no objection to Zhuang Rui's investment, but that didn't mean that the other party was using the money to play with him? However, Xu Guoqing was quite honest and said the ugly things first.

"You can't say that, Xugong, I can treat these porcelains you fired as genuine and put them on the international auction market. I won't hide it from you. As long as we can successfully auction three or five porcelains, the money will be enough."

You can all come back..."
