Chapter 415: The Golden Mask
Andy was surprised: "Is this paint?"
He thought it was metal! He didn't think that there was a layer of paint on the surface!
"It's about the same as paint! It's a special dye anyway, and most people can't see it, thinking it's metal. But in fact, it's golden. Populus nodded.
Federra didn't expect that Populus euphratica would find out. Since it was found that it was gold, it would definitely not be possible to pick up 100,000 of them. At the very least, it must be at this gold price.
No matter how stupid the Chinese are, they can't know that it's made of gold, and they will give it to you cheaply, right?
And he now has limited foreign exchange, so he simply took off his watch to offset it. This watch, which is also from Rolex, is sold in China for a new watch, and the price is about 600,000 yuan.
However, he has been wearing it for almost a year, so he will take it as half a million.
Phaedra believes that a watch worth more than half a million, plus the 100,000 just promised, is more than 600,000. This amount of money is almost astronomical for the Chinese, right? It should satisfy the appetite of this Chinese.
This method of playing called Hanako made Populus a little disgusting.
How much does this gringo look down on the Chinese, so he thinks about 600,000 to buy this mysterious African gold mask?
To be honest, don't say it's gold, even a bronze mask can be worth more than a million in a minute. Your hundreds of thousands, aren't you called Hanako, what is it?
He couldn't help but say, "Do you know that in China, this hundred, or even thousand-year-old mask, even if it is bronze, will be worth more than a million?"
Except for Xiaoxiao and them, everyone else present was dumbfounded.
Is this true? Ancient masks, so valuable? Copper, so valuable? This is gold, so how much is it worth?
The shopkeeper Ou Quan almost gave up on his feet, and millions of treasures were sold by him for a few thousand yuan, and he had never been such a loser. Even if you make a deal, go to a nightclub to pick up girls, and sleep for a night is at most 10,000 thousands.
He values money more than anyone else, and the past events have made him understand the importance of money.
Therefore, he is even more uncomfortable, even if he has made a lot of money in the past two or three years, but one million is not a small amount for him, and he is now worth millions at most.
However, things have been sold. No matter how much he cheats, it is impossible for him to come back.
"Super ...... Exceed...... A million?" his voice trembled.
The audience in the live broadcast room was very happy, so happy. I have said a long time ago that this guy will be unlucky and will regret it, and everyone feels cool when they really see this ugly state.
Let you pretend to be so forced in front, and you start to feel great with a little money, and when you see a woman, do you think people are sticking back?
It's just hilarious.
Phaedra did not expect that this Chinese would be so difficult. He gritted his teeth: "That's a million, satisfied, right?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Populus euphratica, even the other people at the scene also thought that you were talking about a dream? Didn't you just say it? Even if it is copper, it is worth more than a million, and this is gold!
The smart Phaedra quickly reacted, it was very unsightly, and he originally thought that he could get tens of thousands of yuan smoothly. But now, you can't get a million, these greedy Chinese, it's too hateful.
"One and a half million, the yuan is not enough, I can pay you euros, how about it?" he had to use his other money.
It's really this mask in front of me that is so attractive. It involved a lost civilization, and he had looked up that lost civilization.
Therefore, the appearance of this mask will definitely cause a certain sensation, and if it is placed at auction, it will definitely fetch a good price.
"One and a half million euros?" asked Hu Yang.
The people around him suddenly broke into a cold sweat, 1.5 million euros, that's more than 10 million yuan!
Ferdra almost cursed, 1.5 million euros, not to mention whether it was worth it or not, but he would definitely not spend such a large sum of money to buy it, because he did not have so much money.
"Hehe, sir, laughing. ”
Hu Yang shook his head at him: "I'm not joking with you, believe it or not, I put it in the auction house, and I can sell it for two million euros? Do you know, a kingdom called the Songhai Empire? Of course, now this country no longer exists, it used to be in Africa, and it was glorious for a while. ”
This time, Phaedra's face changed completely.
In any case, he would never have thought that the Chinese in front of him actually knew the Songhai Empire and knew that this country that had once been brilliant in the land of Africa.
Since everyone has said the name of Songhai Empire, it means that it is impossible for him to pick up the leaks.
And the owner of the shop, Ou Quan, has fallen to the ground, and he is not in the mood to blackmail Rolex. He only knew now that the treasures worth more than 10 million yuan were sold by him for a few thousand yuan.
The rest of the shop was shocked and gave the owner sympathetic looks.
This guy is so pathetic, so unlucky. More than 10 million, or even more than 20 million treasures! More than 3,000 were sold, this is not a loser, what is it? What a complete loser!
"Brother Hu, tell us about the Songhai Empire! Andy said.
Hu Yang explained that the Songhai Empire was an ancient country in West Africa, which flourished from the 15th to the 16th centuries and was the last black indigenous empire in the Sahel region.
In the 14th century, West Africa was dominated by the Mali Empire, and when the Songhai Empire was conquered, the Songhai Empire sent two princes, Ali Glenn and Selma Nar, to live as hostages in the Mali Empire, just like Wu and Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period.
"Don't talk about things that are too far away, everyone is familiar with the Age of Discovery, and there is also a presence in this country. Hu Yang said.
Although the Songhai Empire had only a brief period of glory, it was also a force that could not be ignored during the century of great exploration.
It is said that in the early days, the Songhai Empire tried to cross the Atlantic, believing that there was still land there, so they stored enough grain and hundreds of ships for two years, but unfortunately failed in the end.
If it had succeeded at that time, perhaps the current world pattern might have changed, and Africa would not have been so miserable.
"When it fell, our country was probably like the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, not many people can remember this ancient country now. However, despite the fall of the Songhai Empire, the Songhai people's state still exists. ”
After Brother Hu's explanation, everyone probably learned about such a once glorious ancient African country.
The ancient civilizations of Africa are often accompanied by a lot of gold. Africa is rich in gold, this is the consensus of the whole world. Ancient countries in Africa, such as Egypt, have an incredible amount of gold.
Now, with a golden mask popping up, it's interesting.
You must know that masks in Africa, which have special significance and are more precious, and the people who wear masks are generally people with status, not ordinary people.
Populus euphratica is well aware that masks have a long history in Africa, and in the prehistoric rock paintings of South Africa, images of women dancing with masks have been found. However, the most abundant and artistically expressive masks are mainly concentrated in West and Central Africa south of the Sahara Desert.
Masks can be roughly divided into general masks, mask tops, helmet-shaped masks, shoulder-loaded masks, and decorative masks, which are mostly shaped by human faces, animals, or a combination of human faces and animals. These facial images are very different, some only have eye sockets, bared teeth, and extremely terrifying, some have slightly open eyes, slightly upturned corners of their mouths, elegant and skillful, and some squint their eyes, as if smiling but not smiling, mysterious.
In fact, many people will think that the African mask is grotesque at first sight, without a human face, exaggerated and a bit abstract.
The one in front of him, the mask had a strange expression, this is probably an item of an African god stick, such as a pharaoh or something.
It should also be clear to everyone what the status of such people is in Africa, especially in ancient times.
Then, the value of this golden mask is self-evident.
"That's not worth a hundred million or twenty million, is it?" someone couldn't help but ask.
This is the customer who came in at the back, and it feels like this is a bit of a big braggadocio. Even if its origin is mysterious and big, one or two million is too exaggerated.
"Do you know the auction record of the Golden Mask in history? Let me tell you, there are not a few who have exceeded 100 million. As for the famous Tutankhamun Golden Mask, it is already priceless, it is difficult to measure in money, what is one or two million?
There are also bronze masks in our country, and there are hundreds of millions of them. ”
There are some golden masks, both foreign and domestic, although the number is very small, so what the price, Populus euphratica is still a little clear.
These words really scared many people. What kind of luxury watches, in front of these treasures, is really nothing.
Some people who don't believe in evil began to check it with their mobile phones, and it was basically difficult to find out how much it was worth, all of which were described as priceless treasures. Some of the estimates are over 100 million, and everyone is finally willing to believe that this is the truth.
Horror, terrible!
Many people cast envious glances at Populus euphratica, 10 or 20 million! How many people have struggled all their lives, it is impossible to earn so much money, and they have not spent much effort, and they are already in the bag.
Before he had listened to the poplar, Phaedra had already walked out, unwilling to stay here. First, he didn't have so much money to buy it, and he knew that it was impossible to have it, so there was no need to watch others here. Second, he could not guarantee that the gold mask would fetch a higher price, one or two million euros, which is a very large amount.
The shopkeeper, Ou Quan, already has the same expression as his dead parents.
Hu Yang no longer paid attention to this person, and left the store with Xiaoxiao, Ran Ran, and Andy.
Although they left, the news that they found a gold mask worth 10 million or 20 million in this store spread in the Admiralty Antique City, and the entire antique market instantly became lively.
Not to mention tens of millions of leaks, even millions of them are enough for them to talk about it.
