Chapter 374: Old Things of the Old Summer Palace
After dividing the 50 million chips of Hu Yang, Yoshida Shoichi still stared at the rest and did not let go.
"Friend, are you interested in Chinese cultural relics? I still have it, but I didn't bring it, the value is guaranteed to be above these two copper heads, I can show you the photos first." How about giving me all the chips in your hand?" said Yoshida Shoichi.
Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, and was not immediately moved, but said: "Then let me see what it is first, I have to consult my people to see if it is worth the more than 100 million chips I have left." ”
"No problem! I'll show you the photos first, and if you're satisfied, I'll have someone send them over now, and I'll make sure you can take them home today." ”
After speaking, he took out his phone and flipped through the photos inside.
Hu Yang glanced at it, damn it! It's all nude photos of women.
"Ahem! Not here. Yoshida was slightly embarrassed.
Although Yoshida Shoichi does not speak Chinese, his people translate it accurately, and there is no major problem in communication.
The rest of the gambling hall didn't rush, and only Yoshida Shoichi himself was anxious.
Hu Yang only looked at the two photos, and his heart was shocked, the photos were two porcelain statues, the value of which had exceeded the chips in his hand.
There are five photographs, two pieces of porcelain, a letter, a painting, and a piece of jade.
These seem to be the treasures of the Old Summer Palace back then!
President Fang was also watching the live broadcast, and through the lens of the live broadcast, he also saw one of the photos clearly. It was not easy for him to type a line of words on the public screen in the live broadcast room.
"Xiaohu, the first picture is a treasure of the Old Summer Palace, buy it. ”
The other viewers in the live broadcast room were surprised, they didn't know who this speech was, and they actually called Brother Hu "Little Hu", it should be a big guy!
Sure enough, soon, the account added: "I am the director of the Provincial Museum!"
The audience in the live broadcast room all shouted "666".
Brother Hu!
Even the curator of the museum is his audience, which is kind of interesting.
Of course, the old audience of Populus Hu knows that Brother Hu is very familiar with the director of the Provincial Museum, and he has also gone to the Provincial Museum to do live broadcasts before.
"Damn! The curator is also there. ”
"It's not fake, is it?"
"What I care about is that the treasure is really from the Old Summer Palace?"
"What's so strange? Just now, everyone took out two beast heads, isn't it also a national treasure lost in the Old Summer Palace?"
......
Curator Fang saw that the treasure on the photo was a square porcelain vase with blue glaze.
This bottle is dignified and regular, painted with traditional flowers, pastel painting is vivid and natural, belongs to the exquisite work in the grand view of Qianlong Dynasty, should be made for the appreciation and play of the high sect of the Qing Dynasty.
The bottle is square in shape, with a round mouth and slightly skimmed, a long neck, a straight belly, and a round circled foot. Turquoise green glaze is applied to the inside of the bottle. The outside of the bottle is decorated with blue glaze and gold-painted floral patterns, and the neck and feet are decorated with gold leaf patterns for a week. There are rectangular white spaces on all sides of the bottle belly, and the inside of the bottle is depicted in pastel respectively with the picture of mandarin duck lotus, peach blossom and bird, bamboo mantis and peony chrysanthemum.
Although the photo does not see the style at the bottom of the bottle, from the appearance, Director Fang guessed that it should have been fired during the Qianlong period, the process is complicated, and the firing is quite difficult.
This kind of blue glazed square porcelain vase, placed in the Qing Dynasty, is also a fine of the best, in the record, there is such porcelain in the Old Summer Palace.
If it is auctioned, it can fetch a sky-high price of one or two million.
Hu Yang asked, "That's all?"
"It's not enough, it's worth more than you have in your hand. If you take it to the auction house and go to the auction, you will definitely make a lot of money. Friends, believe me, you won't suffer. Yoshida said.
Populus euphratica has blossomed in his heart, but he still has a hard time: "Just looking at the photos, my people are not easy to identify whether they are true or fake." ”
He has decided to deal with this guy, and it is estimated that there are still a lot of lost treasures in the Old Summer Palace in this Japanese family.
Since 1860, in addition to being burned in the "burning of the Old Summer Palace", the cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace have been continuously lost through various means, according to rough statistics, about 1.5 million pieces, most of which are lost overseas, especially in European countries such as Britain and France, which are stored in various museums and other collection institutions.
Because the list of items in the Old Summer Palace was destroyed in the fire, it is impossible to verify how many cultural relics there are in the Old Summer Palace. So far, how many relics of the Old Summer Palace have survived, and where are they collected now, there is no general catalog in the world!
In recent years, the treasures of the Old Summer Palace have been returned to the motherland one after another, but that is only the tip of the iceberg.
At present, there are three ways to return the national treasures that have been lost overseas: return, donate, and repurchase.
Retrieval is the only way to recover cultural relics that does not cost money, and it is the most legitimate and popular way, but it is the most difficult way to return to the cultural relics. Recourse to cultural relics lost overseas is undoubtedly reasonable and legitimate.
From the international community's point of view, there is also a growing demand for the return of looted and valuable cultural relics. However, in this environment, France, which mainly engaged in looting, rejected China's proposal to ban the auction of cultural relics in the Old Summer Palace.
But as long as you persist and do not give in, there is nothing that cannot be done, and Egypt has persisted for 10 years and recovered 130 million cultural relics.
Needless to say, there is often news that domestic tycoons or Chinese people photograph national treasures overseas and send them back to their homeland. It's just that the price for this is high.
It's the same with buybacks, except that the money spent is the treasury of the state.
"I'll think about it. ”
Yoshida Shoichi snatched the chips in Hu Yang's hand: "Don't think about it, if you suffer a loss, you can find me at any time, they are all people with heads and faces, can they still slander you? That's it! I asked my people to send these five treasures over immediately." ”
Hu Yang thought for a moment: "Okay! Make a friend." If there is such a treasure, don't forget me, I'll take this bite. ”
"No problem! I have a lot of this kind of stuff in my house. Yoshida was equally happy to see that Populus euphratica was so easy to talk to, and he was happy to make Populus euphratica a friend.
Once he had the chips, he sat back down, ready to turn back.
Then, Populus Hu became a bystander, standing next to Yoshida Shoichi, and from time to time he said two words to remind Yoshida Shoichi.
It seemed unintentional, but it made Yoshida Shoichi's luck gradually heat up, and it was the turn of the black man and the Korean guy to be unlucky. It didn't take long for those two guys to lose even more completely than Shoichi Yoshida just now.
Yoshida Shoichi, who earned it back, was very happy, thinking that there was a credit for poplar, and he became even more enthusiastic about this Chinese who had just met.
"Let's go, go out and have fun! All today's spending, count it in. Yoshida said as he patted Poplar's shoulder.
Hu Yang reminded: "Those treasures ......"
"I'll call and ask, it's supposed to be on the way, don't worry. ”
