In fact, if Chu Chen is willing to spend money on it, it's OK to buy a research institute directly. But he likes to enjoy the process. Moreover, he is not in a hurry. He can take his time, and step by step, the staff of the laboratory can know more about it.

"Yes, I like research." Gu Gongyi had already thought about cooperating with chuchen. As soon as chuchen's voice fell, he nodded and agreed.

"You can't just study. I'm going to give you the experimental evidence." Chuchen said with a smile.

"This..." Gu Gongyi scratched his head. Although his small kiln was ok, and he could make a profit of 50000 or 60000 yuan a month, he had no confidence in himself.

Chuchen said with a smile, "we don't have many people in this laboratory for the time being. With your ability to manage a kiln, it must be more than enough. You don't have to worry about it."

Gu Gongyi thought about it and asked, "boss Chu, how many experts have you found now?"

"Just two for now..." Chu Chen introduced Du Hou and Qian Lao.

"No! no way! How can I lead them! " No matter how ignorant Gu Gongyi was, he still knew these two elders. To his surprise, he repeatedly waved his hand to refuse.

"They're just my consultants. Now you don't have any employees. You won't have any more worries, will you?" Chuchen said with a smile.

"This Then I'll try first! " Gu Gongyi thought about it, then nodded his head and agreed.

"Well, let's talk about the terms. I mean, you take a part of the shares in this research lab, and..."

Next, the two sides discussed some conditions for cooperation, but Chu Chen was basically saying that Gu Gongyi had no opinion at all. The reason was that Chu Chen was very satisfied with the conditions he offered. What else could he say?

After Gu Gongyi confirmed all the conditions one by one, Chu Chen took out the model contract that had been prepared and filled it in. Both parties signed the contract and signed it.

It's true that after the contract was signed, Gu Gongyi was embarrassed and said: "boss, you are going to start to study the porcelain of the three dynasties of Qing Dynasty. I have made many achievements here. There are no problems in other aspects, but the formula of porcelain clay is not perfect yet..."

Hearing this, Chu Chen interrupted him and asked, "Lao Gu, I've seen your flat bottle, too. As far as the quality of the flat bottle is concerned, I think it's very good, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Gu Gongyi shook his head and said, "I don't think it's good enough. At least when I look at it with a magnifying glass, I can see that it's quite different from the real one."

Chu Chen appreciated Gu Gongyi's attitude of striving for perfection, and he was not short of money. He could let Gu Gongyi continue to study. However, he was very curious about one thing and asked, "Lao Gu, do you have any real products?"

Gu Gongyi said with a smile: "of course, I have the real one. Otherwise, there is no comparison. It's not that blind people touch the elephant. But the real one I'm talking about is just porcelain pieces. I can't afford the complete one. In fact, I have collected quite a lot of porcelain pieces over the years. There are so many kinds of official kilns and folk kilns. They are all piled up in a room. "

Hearing this, Chu Chen immediately raised his interest and said, "Lao Gu, can you let me enjoy your collection?"

"No problem..."

With that, Gu Gongyi stood up and took Chu Chen to a room guarded by a thick security door. Gu Gongyi took out the key, opened the door, turned on the light in the room, and invited everyone in.

It's true that the whole room is full of all kinds of porcelain pieces, as Gu Gongyi said. Nevertheless, the room is still well cleaned, and there is not much peculiar smell in the room. It can be seen that Gu Gongyi still cherishes these porcelain pieces.

Gu Gongyi first gave a brief introduction to the porcelain pieces in the room, and then said: "my wife has always said that I am a rag picker, but there is no way to do it. We have no strength, we can only" generalize ". Moreover, without these porcelain pieces, I don't have the current technology."

Chuchen nodded his head with a smile.

Generally speaking, collectors have always stressed the word "complete" in their collection of porcelain. If porcelain is broken or damaged, its value will be greatly reduced. Bits and pieces of porcelain are even less valuable.

In the past, collectors used to know porcelain and collect porcelain from the complete ware. Now, if you work in a large museum, or have a wide range of knowledge, or have access to a large number of ancient porcelain, you can naturally become an expert in this way.

However, there are not many people in the world who have such superior conditions, and there are always a few who can take the road of "taking the whole as the whole". A new generation of collectors, young collectors, they do not have so much money, so good conditions, they can only find another way. As Gu Gongyi said, "generalizing the whole from the partial" is also forced.

Of course, there are also advantages of "generalizing from one part to the whole". The first is that the tuition is low. By studying porcelain pieces, we can achieve the purpose of studying complete porcelain.

The second advantage is that the textbook is authentic. In the past, counterfeiters focused on the perfecters because they could make a profit. Therefore, among the complete artifacts handed down from generation to generation, and even in the collection of the Forbidden City, there are fakes.Therefore, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that there are fakes in the textbooks they study and study to become experts from the perspective of studying the complete instrument. These complete forgeries, in the process of learning and research, may be seen through by them, but more likely, they will be worshipped as sacred authenticity.

And the collection research method of generalizing can greatly avoid this kind of loss. Generally speaking, as long as you have a reliable way to obtain porcelain pieces, you can basically eliminate the interference of fakes when you study the porcelains at the entrance of the kiln.

The third advantage is that you can see the real situation of the porcelain. Through the porcelain pieces, you can see the glaze color, the fetal soil, the thickness of the fetal soil, the thickness of the glaze, how the glaze flows, how the fetal soil is formed, and so on. In short, studying the porcelain pieces, you can master the rules and mysteries of porcelain making from the inside.

And this is what you can't see from the intact artifacts, because you can't break the intact artifacts of precious cultural relics.

Moreover, the third point is particularly important for Gu Gongyi, an artist who studies the production of imitation ancient porcelain. After all, he has to thoroughly study the body glaze and other aspects when he wants to make imitation ancient porcelain.

Chu Chen looked around and said with a smile, "Lao Gu, have you spent a lot of money on the porcelain here?"

"At least millions have been spent."

Gu Gongyi said with some emotion: "this is also my family and wife's support for me, otherwise at the beginning, I couldn't even afford to buy Porcelain. But since last year, I've been making money back. Generally speaking, this investment is worth a lot. "

Seeing Gu Gongyi's high spirited appearance, Chu Chen and his family all smile. The investment is not worth it, but too much.

Next, Chu Chen and Wu Ke took a look at all the porcelain pieces in the room. There are many porcelain pieces here, which are very precious. For example, the porcelain pieces of xiunei Siguan kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty are relatively rare. In addition, there are some porcelain pieces, which also give Chu Chen a lot of insight.

However, because of time, Chu Chen could only look at the numerous porcelain pieces in the room, which made him feel very sorry.

In the blink of an eye, it was more than five o'clock, and it was getting dark.

Chu Chen stood up and said with some pity: "forget it, come back to enjoy it next time!"

Gu Gongyi said: "boss, if you don't dislike it, you can live on my side."

Chuchen said with a smile, "there's nothing to dislike, but I still have something to deal with in Beijing. I'll deal with the kiln business tomorrow and go straight away. I'd better wait until next time."

"OK Boss, my wife is ready for dinner. Let's go there together... "

After a big lunch, everyone chatted for a while, and Chu Chen was ready to leave.

Just then, a friend of Gu Gongyi came to visit with a box, saying that he wanted to ask Gu Gongyi to help identify the contents of the box.

Gu Gongyi opened the box and found that there were seven or eight kinds of Ru kiln ware in it. However, judging from the cracks on the surface of the ware, these ware should be made up.

But what makes Chu Chen's expression a little strange is that these pieces of complete utensils are even more beautiful than many handed down Ru kiln complete utensils. What's more interesting to him is that there are two of them that are not handed down.

Seeing these complete wares, Gu Gongyi asked, "Lao Xia, did you buy these porcelain pieces from the same person?"

"Yes." Lao Xia nodded, then asked expectantly: "Xiao Gu, are these real products?"

Gu Gongyi said: "let's not talk about the authenticity first. I'll ask a few questions. Why did the kiln workers break such perfect Ru kiln wares? Why are these porcelain pieces with different furnace temperatures discarded at the same time? In the end, why can you put together a few composite pieces so coincidentally? "

"Lao Xia, you have to know that all the unqualified porcelains in ancient official kilns must be broken and thrown away, but the killers will not break all the porcelains in a small range."

Seeing that Lao Xia was a little stunned, Gu Gongyi went on with some sincere words: "I don't know if you have read the excavation report of the ancient tomb in the cultural relics magazine. In one tomb, there are only a few pieces of porcelain. Archaeologists carefully clean up and look for them with brushes, and the soil they carry away has to be sieved."

"But even so, it's rarely possible to combine a complete device. How many years ago can you think the porcelain pieces could be so easily pieced together? What's more, you can make five pieces with one spell? "

"This..." Hearing this, old Xia just woke up like a dream. After a few words, he left with the box in his arms.
