Chapter 123
Chapter 0123 – Yongchang Tongbao, Dashun Currency! Ming Dynasty tribute, exclusive to the powerful!!
Seeing several people looking at themselves, Zhou Hang said: “Lin Xiao bought so many things, I estimate that I will go back in the next two days.” We happened to go along with us, and when the time came, we invited an intermediary to come out for a meal, ease the relationship, and let them see our sincerity. As for that dog pot… Bronze, don’t worry about it for now, so as not to make him suspicious. As for how to take it down, we have to think in the long run. In short, we can’t mention it. ”
“I have to go, I just talked to him, and he knows our purpose. The auction starts next week, so it’s not too bad to go now. ”
“But how do you buy it?”
Zhao Yiming said, “I always have to mention it, right?” And it is impossible not to mention it for a lifetime. ”
“Besides, it’s useless to think so much now.”
The things are in Lin Xiao’s hands, what can they do?
And although they couldn’t think of a perfect way for the time being, at least they knew that the thing was in Lin Xiao’s hands, and that was enough.
Zhao Yiming and Zhou Hang came to Fucheng this time, and they came to Bao Bao.
Of course, they only know roughly that there are national treasures flowing into the people, but they don’t know exactly where.
These national treasures have been flowing into the private sector since the beginning of the last century.
At that time, the Japanese army invaded, and a group of people who came from the cherry blossom country in the name of cultural relics investigation went around digging ancient tombs and trying to snatch the cultural relics of major museums under various names.
They stole a lot of artifacts, but many more didn’t have time to be shipped back
At that time, some patriots, in order to protect these cultural relics, secretly hid a batch when helping to deal with it, or made a batch of fakes.
Exchange the fake for the real, hide the real thing, or sneak it out in other ways.
As a result, some national treasures flowed into the people.
Although it flows into the people, it is always better to return to the Dragon Country than to flow out of the country.
Not many people know about this, but the Antiquities Bureau knows about it and has contacted museums across the country to find it together.
For example, in a waste recycling station in Qin Province in the sixties of the last century, a museum staff found a national treasure-level cultural relic that was protected and flowed into the people from the recycling station.
That is, the treasure of the Chen Cang City Museum Town Hall today, the famous He Zun has also been found in some places, some have appeared in the stalls, some have fallen into the hands of individual collectors, and some have appeared in auctions.
Over the years, about one or twenty national treasure-level cultural relics have been recovered one after another.
But this search is aimless, and few people are actively looking for it now.
Zhao Bihui and Zhou Hang’s grandfather were involved in this matter, and when they were young, they also ran around the South China Sea North, but they didn’t find a single thing.
They have little hope for it.
The Dragon Kingdom is so big, this kind of search is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
After Zhao 450 Yiming and Zhou Hang found out, they decided to continue searching.
They inquired about the places that had been plundered by the expeditions and official expeditions of the Sakura Country, and selected some of the places most likely to appear as national treasures.
And they have advantages, according to Grandpa Tai’s oral account, there were several situations of national treasures that flowed into the people that year.
The first is to be introduced to the people with a real identity, and at that time it was handed over to some ordinary people for safekeeping.
But in time for the turbulent times, don’t say anything, even the whereabouts of those who keep it are unknown.
The second is camouflaged artifacts that flow into the market.
The third is that after the Japanese army withdrew from the Dragon Kingdom, they did not have time to take it away
This dog basin belongs to the second type.
The second type of cultural relics has numbers and names.
As long as you see the number and name, you can basically determine it.
So they are very confident, as long as they meet, they will definitely find out.
And in addition to the number and name, they also know what exactly the national treasure of the people is.
This is also why, after Zhou Xuemin told his father the number and name, his father found the corresponding national treasure identity.
But this is only part of it, just a part of the national treasure that has passed through their records.
As for the third, the number of national treasures left behind after the withdrawal of the Japanese army is not small.
They also tried to look for the places where those people were active, but unfortunately found nothing.
They determined that after the withdrawal of the Japanese troops, a considerable amount of literature must have been lost, but they did not know where they hid or how they were handled.
If you can find these cultural relics, don’t say much, even if it is only one percent, or even one thousandth, it will be a terrifying astronomical amount.
After Lin Xiao returned to the room, he first went to take a shower, then leaned on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway.
He didn’t rush to open the box, first fill his stomach, and then look slowly.
After eating and drinking, Lin Xiao first took out the dog basin that had been cleaned and carefully observed it.
Forgive him, he really didn’t see where this thing looked like a little bronze.
The tin was polished in many places, and apart from a name and a string of numbers written on the bottom, there was nothing noteworthy.
Oh, and the type.
Some things, just by looking at the shape can easily tell if it is a modern object, this dog basin is a typical example.
However, the type of instrument can only roughly distinguish whether it is modern or ancient, and to determine the specific era depends on the ornamentation on it, whether there is text, and the material.
Or to be simpler, go straight to the dating identification.
However, general things do not require dating, and can be roughly determined based on the available information alone.
This dog basin, just looking at the instrument type, even Lin Xue can’t see which era it is.
If it weren’t for a systematic assessment, he wouldn’t have been able to guess that it was a bronze artifact even if he figured it out.
And even if there is a system prompt, he still can’t think of the role of this thing.
There are so many kinds of functions of bronze, food vessels, wine vessels, water vessels, ceremonial weapons, musical instruments…
From the appearance, this thing does not match any of them.
It is too shallow to be used as a food vessel, too shallow to be used as a water vessel, it is even more impossible to use as a wine vessel, and the weapon instrument is not reliable, but it is most likely to be a ceremonial vessel.
Although he has never seen such ritual vessels, there are many types of ceremonial vessels, and different ceremonial vessels need to be used in different scenes, and many times, ceremonial utensils and other ceremonial utensils will be mixed.
Coupled with the classification of bronzes in the archaeological community of cultural relics, some unknown things will basically be divided into ritual objects.
That is to say, there is no fixed type of ceremonial vessel, but with continuous discovery, the type of ceremonial vessel is constantly filled.
“Iron…”
“Disguise?”
Lin Xiao held the dog basin, his fingers tapped lightly, and he couldn’t hear anything.
But since the system says that this is a bronze, there must be no mistake.
It cannot be seen with the naked eye, and it can only be camouflaged.
Was it this person named Hou Ping who made a disguise?
What era is this Hou Ping? Why do you want to do this?
Lin Xiao’s stomach was full of doubts and could not be answered.
Forget it, I don’t want to be so much, let’s go back to Yuling.
Anyway, it is basically certain that this thing is not iron, and it should be wrapped with a layer of iron on the outside.
But don’t say, this craft is really awesome, the surface is stunned that you can’t see a little seam, and you don’t know what skill to use.
Putting the dog basin in a bag, he walked to the cart, circled the box twice, and suddenly found something that was not serious, but made him uncomfortable.
I didn’t have the tools ready.
A few broken boxes can be smashed open with one fist, but it is difficult to close them after smashing them.
“The hotel should have the tools, right?”
He walked over and grabbed the landline, dialed the front desk, and asked if there was a tool to help send it, and by the way, send some iron nails.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the staff delivered a toolbox.
About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang, and the delivery box arrived.
Lin Xiao took the toolbox, closed the door, and returned to the living room.
Putting the toolbox down, he took out his phone and hung it on his chest and turned on the live broadcast.
My private museum, with new members coming soon!
Although it is not clear what the new member is, but what about him, let’s talk about it first.
He has not yet said that he wants to open a private museum, and only Director Tu knows about it.
I hope these boxes will bring me some surprises.
As soon as the live broadcast began, netizens poured in.
“Boss Lin is on the air?”
“What’s the big night on?”
“Are you going to show us the dog basin?”
Lin Xiaodao adjusted the angle of the mobile phone camera, opened the toolbox and said: “I bought some good things today, open a blind box for everyone to see.” ”
“Blind box? It won’t be those boxes, right? ”
“It seems to be really a box.”
“I’ll wipe, you moved the box to the hotel?”
“What’s so nice about fake boxes.”
Lin Xiao grabbed the horn hammer and said, “This box is not fake, at least I don’t see where it is fake.” ”
He said a few words briefly and took a general look around the box.
These boxes have traces of being dismantled, no need to ask, they must have been opened by themselves after those stalls bought them back.
I don’t know if I took anything good.
He grabbed the horn hammer, pried hard against the nail, and began to unpack the box.
“This box is not fake? What does it mean? Who translated Boss Lin, what does this mean? ”
“It’s not fake, it’s true, can’t you understand this?”
“No way, this is a box bought from the stall.”
“There is no real thing in Fucheng, and there is a real box, Boss Lin wants to fart and eat.”
In another room in the same hotel, Zhuo Yi opened the live broadcast room and never closed it, and at this moment he finally waited for Lin Xiao.
She was barefoot in the sofa, with snacks on her crossed knees, a mobile phone in one hand, and a snack in her mouth with the other…
In the restaurant, Zhao Bihui, who was still eating, was chatting about the national treasure bronze.
Zhou Hang suddenly said, “Dad, Lin Xiao opened the box.” ”
“The box you bought today?”
“Hmm.”
“That box shouldn’t be real, right?”
Zhao Yiming’s words were more like self-comfort.
Zhao Bihui was much calmer: “Let’s wait for him to take it apart.”…”
Nails kept being pried up, and soon several planks on the first box were pried open.
Then came the second box, the third…
He put all the pried nails together so as not to accidentally step on them.
Putting down the hammer, Lin Xiao walked to the box, grabbed the board a little harder, and took one of the planks away from it.
However, the reaction of netizens was average, and there was no expectation at all.
Even if Lin Xiao said that this box was true, no one believed it.
This is also normal, after all, dozens of boxes were fished out at once last night.
Lin Xiao didn’t explain anything, the fake can’t be true, the real can’t be fake.
“On.”
“Look what’s inside.”
The last plank was taken down, and the situation in the box was also unobstructed.
Copper coins, silver, jade, bracelet, onyx…
Something like this stuffed an entire box.
This box is the box for the telescope, and the system is estimated at 90 million.
Lin Xiao casually picked up a piece of silver, turned it over, and said, “It’s private silver.” ”
There is not much silver, about six or seven, all of which are made of five taels.
There are not many copper coins, and there can be fifty or sixty scattered pieces.
He picked up a copper coin and grinned at this look.
This turned out to be a Yongchang Tongbao!
“Good stuff.”
He smiled and put the copper money in front of the camera and carefully displayed it.
“Isn’t it copper money?”
“Copper coins are also fake, right?”
“Gee, this is Yongchang Tongbao, if it is really worth it.”
“How much is it worth?”
“This one is a fold of five, if it is true, the current market situation will be at least about one million.”
“Depends, so valuable?”
“The premise is true, this look is a fake thing, five dollars are too much.”
Lin Xiao took out the copper coins one by one, all of them were Yongchang Tongbao, and counted, 51.
According to the current market conditions, a single piece of five can be sold for about 1 million
But so much pops up at once, the price will drop slightly, but six or seven hundred thousand can still be sold.
The copper coin alone is worth almost 30 million.
But if you want to shoot, you have to take out a few pieces at a time, and about a year or two before and after, you can shoot them all.
He sorted the copper coins and put them away, and took out the silver ingots and put them away.
Then take out a white carving.
As soon as the thing started, Lin Xiao determined that this was an ivory carving.
“Ivory carvings are also a good thing.”
Lin Xiao held it in the palm of his hand to admire, this carving was a lion, less than the size of a palm, the carving was quite exquisite, and the surface had black cracks.
It’s easy to sell this one for two or three million.
Ivory carvings mainly look at the image of the carvings, and in general, the market prefers Buddha carvings.
For example, Guanyin, Maitreya Buddha and the like, then the price is high.
Moreover, ivory carvings basically belonged to tribute in the Ming Dynasty, and other countries paid tribute to things.
Ordinary people cannot touch things, and it must be something that the elites have the opportunity and qualifications to touch.
Therefore, as long as it is an ivory carving, it can be directly determined.
In the collector’s market, this thing has always been very popular.
There are many ivory carvings in the box, both in the form of jade tablets and animal figures.
There is an ivory carving of Guanyin, this ivory carving, the system is estimated at 17 million.
Sort the ivory carvings and put them away, and the rest are ordinary things.
Onyx bracelet, jade pei to say worth, one piece is worth tens of thousands of thousands, to say not worth money, people are also Ming Dynasty things.
“Boss Lin is crazy, and when he sees something, he says it’s ivory.”
“How can there be so many ivory carvings, fake things, old brother!”
“If this box is real, it will be worth close to hundreds of millions.”
“It’s really like the color of ivory, and it’s a bit horizontal to fake.”
“The copper coin is also presentable.”
Many people still feel a bit similar when they look at it, but it’s not easy to be sure if they don’t get started.
Coupled with Lin Xiao’s purchase process, they really couldn’t believe that these things were real.
In the box, the four people looked at the things that Lin Xiao kept taking out, it was really red-eyed, and Zhao Bihui’s mood was low and lost.
Who would have thought that the antique street where fakes were rampant would actually pop up and really break into the king’s treasure!
No one could have imagined it! Looking at the box that was emptied by Lin Xiao, the emotions of regret in my heart hit like a tide.
The distance between him and this box of treasure is really only one step away!
That national treasure bronze is certainly valuable, but this box is not cheap! If the contents of the other two boxes are similar to the contents of this box, it is at least two or three hundred million!
Zhao Yiming said, “Dad, is that Yongchang Tongbao?” ”
Zhou Hang said, “Could it be fake?” ”
Jealousy makes them unrecognizable.
Zhou Xuemin sighed and said, “The ivory carving is not clear, and the copper coin must be real.” ”
It is understandable that those who have not been in the industry can see it soon, and those of them who have dealt with them for decades can see it even if they look at the screen.
Otherwise, how did those live broadcast treasures see it?
Professional to a certain point, even if you don’t get started, you can see that Lin Xiao still shoots so clearly.
There must be people in the live broadcast room who can see it, after all, tens of millions of online, such a large base, no matter how small the probability, you can also meet the really knowledgeable.
There was no sound at this time, either because he knew the origin of the box, so he was not sure of the authenticity of the copper coin.
Or, just want to pick up the leaks.
Indeed, in addition to Zhou Xuemin and Zhao Bihui, some people in the live broadcast room saw it.
But they didn’t have as much information as the two of them, that is, Zhuo Yi had some guesses that they were different, they only knew that this box was bought by Lin Xiao from the stall.
