Through Tanaka's story, Jin Muchen finally understood why he hated his grandfather and his father so much, but this foreign devil doesn't pay as much attention to blood affiliation as we Chinese people do. Always called grandparents.

In this way, his Japanese grandfather, according to our Chinese parlance, should be regarded as his grandfather.

Unsurprisingly, this guy's father is a black man, and he also has the same problem of black people being chaotic and abandoning. Not long after he brought his mother to the United States, he left their mother and son and went away happily.

That's why this guy is more willing to use his mother's surname Tanaka than his black dad's surname, Jordan!

Having said that, this guy is also quite sad, since he was a child, his grandma and uncle didn't like that kind of thing.

His father abandoned his family, it was the irresponsible nature of black people, and his grandfather didn't like him, it was even simpler because of his skin color.

It turns out that this guy's grandfather, Tanaka, has always lived in Tokyo, Japan, and has always been in the antiques business, but he never had children. He didn't have a daughter until he was 40 years old. He gave birth to a daughter, and naturally he liked it since childhood.

Unexpectedly, when his daughter was eighteen years old, she was very rebellious, didn't like to read, and often wandered around. In the end, she didn't know why, but she actually caught up with Tanaka's **** father, who was Dad happened to be a U.S. soldier stationed in Japan.

You must know that it is not only the fault of the Chinese people, but also the Japanese. In the 1960s and 1970s, Japan's foreign-loving and foreign-loving sentiment reached its peak for a while.

At that time, a lot of out-married women also emerged in Japan. Of course, not all out-married women will be accepted by their families.

If you marry somewhere like New Zealand or Australia, you will definitely be looked down upon by your family, because that kind of marriage is seen in the eyes of the Japanese. Definitely a phoenix man who married his own peacock woman.

After all, New Zealand, and Australia's economy, were not as developed as Japan at that time.

But if you are married to the United States. Or those from the developed countries in Western Europe, then their family members will definitely brag about it.

Of course, all out-married women are welcomed by their families, and there is another condition, that is, you must marry a white man. If you marry a black man, it will be a huge disaster, and you will be cast aside by your family.

Even if you are married to a black American, this is not the same as in our country. After all, there are people in our country who have deliberately preached that their father is a black American...

And this Tanaka's mother was very unfortunate. Although she married an American, she was a black American. This made her father angry that one Buddha came out of his body and two Buddha ascended to heaven. In the end, she cut off the father-daughter relationship for a while.

At that time, Tanaka's mother was enlarged by Tanaka's father, so she had no choice but to come to the United States with Tanaka's father.

But soon Tanaka's father got tired of this marriage, and finally abandoned his wife and went away alone.

Tanaka's mother raised him alone. Because of the hard life, he finally had to restore contact with his father, and the old man Tanaka may have softened his heart. I feel sorry for my daughter, but I still recognize this daughter, but I have never been very cold to Tanaka, the mixed-race grandson.

After living in Japan for a while. In the end, Tanaka couldn't stand the discrimination from his grandfather, and he returned to the United States by himself just as an adult to seek a living.

A few years ago, his mother died in a car accident, leaving him alone, and his grandfather. But he didn't mean to go back to him at all.

At the end of last year, his cheap grandfather died of a heart attack at home by himself. After a few days of rot at home, he was found out, so someone contacted him to go back to Japan for the funeral, and he went well. From that cheap grandfather, he inherited some inheritance, including these Duan inkstones that he sells today.

Hearing this, Jin Muchen has basically matched the number. It seems that this black Tanaka should not lie.

Because when China exported Duan inkstones as high-end handicrafts, the main export target was Japan, and the Japanese, especially those who knew how to play, were crazy about them and sought after these Duan inkstones.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, this Duan Inkstone has always been one of the Japanese's favorite literary play. At that time, the Duan Inkstone exported from eastern Guangdong Province was mainly exported to Japan. One of the important export high-end handicrafts.

In the era after the reform, the enthusiasm of the Japanese for Duan Inkstone is even more crazy. The largest consumer of Duan Inkstone at the Canton Fair is the Japanese.

It is said that during the Canton Fair every year, Japanese antique dealers will organize a group to participate in the exhibition, and the main purpose is to buy Duan inkstones in a group.

In those days, the price of Duan Inkstone was basically in the early 1000s, and the quality of the workmanship was only 2,000 or 3,000 yuan. Once the Japanese appeared in front of the Duan Inkstone booth, it would definitely be as brutal as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, basically no question. Price, direct package round.

This situation was not relieved until the people from the Light Industry Department of East Guangdong Province learned about the popularity of this Duan inkstone in the international Asian cultural circle, and listed this Duan inkstone as a national cultural relic and began to protect it. , because since then, at the Canton Fair, you will never see Duan Yan again.

Jin Muchen guessed that these Duan inkstones should be Tanaka's grandfather, who went to China to scavenge the goods at that time, and the trophies he got, because he liked them, he kept them all by himself, until now they have fallen into the hands of his unworthy descendants.

In the past two years, the upsurge of domestic Duan inkstones has gradually risen, and the source of those Duan inkstones has basically come from Japan.

Listening to Tanaka's remarks, Jin Muchen probably understood his background and the origin of these Duan inkstones in his hands, and this guy probably didn't tell any lies.

It is common sense that the average American does not like to tell others about their own private affairs, after all, it involves their own, but then for those with a higher education.

A big mouth like this Tanaka is quite normal among middle and low-level people, especially in front of a potential big buyer like Jin Muchen, who always has such a big mouth and likes to talk about the origins of his treasures. people.

First, he wanted to prove that these treasures of him came from the right place. Second, it was estimated that Tanaka had also held back his grievance against his grandfather for too long. Therefore, talking about this matter with Jin Muchen, a potential buyer, was also a way to vent. .

But anyway, now that the origin of these Duan inkstones is confirmed, it is time to talk about the price.

"Tanaka, how do you sell these inkstones?"

"Well, is this? I have also learned about these things. I heard that many Chinese people like to go to Japan to buy these things. Is the price? Let's follow the average price in Japan, which is 2,000 US dollars per piece. Bar!"

Jin Muchen's eyes were about to pop out. This guy is really a scumbag. How could this inkstone be sold at this price?

Come on, don't say anything, just grab it!

Jin Muchen didn't say a word, just put out 26,000 US dollars and handed it to Tanaka, who clapped the money in his hand with a smile: "As soon as you pay, I know you are Chinese, hee hee, I like doing business with the Chinese the most."

Jin Muchen couldn't help but have black lines all over his head. There is no way that Chinese people like to use cash in the United States, but they are famous.

No wonder Tanaka likes it. After all, more than 20,000 yuan in cash has saved him a lot of tax.

But now it's better to be yourself!

Tanaka's asking price is based on the average price of the early Japanese antique dealers who collected Duan inkstones when they bought them back to the Chinese. The madness, and the helplessness of the Japanese when they sold such Duan inkstones.

The Japanese are not stupid, but why do they know that the price of Duanyan inkstones in China is so crazy, but when they sell these handicraft Duanyan inkstones back to the Chinese, they will charge such a low price?

This is not in line with the cunning business style of the Japanese, but it is really helpless for them to offer such a price.

The reason why the Japanese bought Duan Inkstone so crazy back then was because from the 1950s and 1960s until the end of the last century, the Japanese style was still quite strong, especially the art of calligraphy, which was very popular in Japan at that time.

But in the past two decades, because of the invasion of American culture, the new generation of Japanese young people has long disliked the set that the older generation liked. They prefer American blockbusters, and b, Twitter magic horse of.

Today's Japanese young people are more using computers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ mobile phones to communicate and write. Usually, they like to stay at home when they have nothing to do, watch 2D animation, or **** an adult action movie, and their hands are cramping. , Who has the time to learn calligraphy?

It is precisely because there are fewer and fewer young people who like ancient styles and calligraphy, which has led to the decline of the market for literary play such as Duanyan in Japan.

Some of them have been placed in the store for more than ten years, but they can't be sold. In the end, when a Chinese came to buy it, many Japanese store owners had to tearfully sell these inkstones directly at the price of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. .

And such a price has become a basic pricing standard with the increase in the number of Chinese returning to Japan to shop for Duan Inkstones.

Today, Tanaka has adopted such a pricing standard, but he knows that if a Duan inkstone of this quality is obtained in China, the minimum starting price must be 200,000 yuan. If it is obtained in eastern Guangdong, the starting price must be Starting from 400,000?

So this time, Jin Muchen can really thank the eighth generation of Japanese ancestors for picking up a big bargain in the United States. (To be continued.)
