How did this palace cup come to the United States, this question is only known to God: this cup can be bought for only 30 oceans in the early 30s, or the price in the antique store in the capital, which was not cared for for twenty or thirty years before - what does this mean?

“... For more than 20 years, no one wanted it on the shelves of a well-known antique store at home, indicating that it was not a particularly rare object at that time, and 30 oceans was not a huge amount of money for people who played antiques in the 30s.

Lu Xun and Li Dazhao both received a monthly salary of 300 oceans during the warlord period, and the salary of the average public primary school teacher in Beijing at that time was about 25 yuan per month, and the purchasing power of each silver dollar was actually the true value of silver, without the halo of purchasing collections.

Anyone can buy it, maybe an American buys it for fun, or it may be an antiquities dealer who sells it here. ”

The purchasing power of a piece of ocean in 31 years, the most intuitive comparison, in 2016 in Zhang Nan's previous life, was probably more than 100 yuan.

According to the variety and wear, the weight of a piece of ocean is between 26.6 grams and 27.1 grams, and the price of silver in 2016 is about 4 yuan. Ignoring the silver content between 88% and 90% of the silver dollar in general, this weight of silver is 100 zero points after 26 years.

The silver dollar of the 21st century is a collectible, not a simple question of the price of silver: why did the price of the silver dollar in 2011 take a rocket, and the eagle and ocean are soaring to 450?

At that time, the international silver price was over RMB 12 yuan per gram5!

The silver content of Mexico Yingyang is higher than that of Yuan Datou and Longyang, more than 90% is no problem, and the weight is basically a little heavier than the latter, ignoring the content ratio, the silver is more than 330 pieces!

But in 2016, the price of silver fell by three-quarters, and Yingyang fell back to about 300, and acquaintances could even win two hundred and fifty-six, if the weight is multiplied by the price of silver, it is cheaper than the industrial silver in 2011!

Silver, however, is more able to reflect the prices and actual purchasing power of the times.

Speaking of which, Zhang Nan deliberately did not use the word "reselling", because in the 30s, selling porcelain to foreigners for the imperial porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was a legitimate ordinary business, just like those high-level cultural relics stores in order to generate foreign exchange, many goods do not charge RMB.

"A bowl will cost more than 1 million US dollars, and the publicity will soon be fried to the level of a 'national treasure', and it will not become a 'national weapon' in the future, nonsense!

Just a bowl for dinner, in another twenty years, God knows how many items will come back at a high price, all - it's all for money. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan unconsciously thought of those royal faucets: If it weren't for himself, he would have let the Eight-Nation Alliance rob it twice!

The second time, I put my face up and let others grab it, for a few faucets that were not designed by Chinese people, I spent tens of millions of dollars to buy them back, and I made it like a national hero, which was a complete waste!

As for this porcelain......

Not to mention the rest, Chenghua Chenghua, the bowl of eating and the cup of drinking, one is hotter than the other!

More than 100 million, more than 200 million......

Damn, what a rich!

Well, compared to those faucets, these bowls and wine glasses are at least the crystallization of the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancient Chinese people, and they are not so blood-spitting.

Besides, the senses are not as awkward as those faucets are snatched away first, and then robbed again by someone else in terms of money.

Some of those bowls and wine glasses that were returned to the country were looted at the beginning, but many of them were bought by foreigners, at least not the-bag feeling of being robbed twice.

Similar to the Yuan Qinghua, most of which were given and exported by the state in the Yuan Dynasty, and they were bought back in the future, which is too expensive for us and hyped by others, at least not robbed twice.

Oh, there are also a lot of Chinese objects that were already in Japan in the Tang Dynasty on the little devil's side, although Zhang Nan coveted those things, but he never shouted like some brains in the future: That is our national treasure of China!

Nonsense, nonsense!

Zhang Nan is not pleasing to the eye of the little devil, but if it weren't for someone to save it, there would be no place to verify the real thing now!

Our?

Something wrong with the brain!

Those things were bought by people more than a thousand years ago, just like those few Tang Dadao and a few Tianmu bowls, which were circulated in an orderly manner, in Zhang Nan's eyes, they were people's!

If you don't learn history anymore, you just shout "Those are Chinese national treasures, they are plundered Chinese cultural relics, and return our national treasures" is nonsense!

The whole world will think of such a guy who talks nonsense with his eyes closed as 250!

The little devil plundered a huge amount of cultural relics from China, but in the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, especially in the Tang Dynasty, the little devil was still a grandson, and if he wanted to plunder, he also had to have that ability.

Just like the cultural relics of West Asia and the Middle East unearthed in some ancient tombs of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties in China, do others also shout: "That is our national treasure, Chinese people, return our national treasure to us!"

Don't make 250, shame on people!

Okay, it's far away, Zhang Nan has already had a cup of drinking, as for this bowl...

Zhang Nan didn't take over this blue and white okra patterned palace cup, and asked his brother-in-law to send it back to China in a few days - not into Zhang Nan's treasure house, but to send it to his brother-in-law.

There are two pairs of the same palace Zhang Nan, Weng Yeming's kid is wielding the super carrot of foreign exchange in the capital, and most of the insiders in Sijiu City are helping him scrape the ground.

Under the root of the imperial city, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, "rich reserves", it is difficult and risky for you to get ancient bronzes, but as long as you have money, it is no problem to get some Ming and Qing official kilns in the first two years.

Zhang Nan even had a little bad taste, "Brother-in-law, you said that the two of us, call Brother Guan again, one day use a bunch of food guys from Yongle Xuande to have a meal, and then use the Flower God Cup to drink tea to eliminate food, will this be scolded to death by the gang of people in the Palace Museum?"

Xiang Weirong was stunned, and his brother-in-law obviously began to have abnormal brains again.

"Well, this can be had! You also have to use the stew of the Ding, that thing is clean, this has to be simmered slowly to taste, after eating, one person washes his hands on a big copper plate of the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou...

Just beware of being drowned by the spittle star after eating!"

"Clean" because it is a cellar, not a burial.

Cooking and eating with something from a dead man's tomb is a good idea to think about.

Forget it, no more thinking, and prepare to return to New York after eating Chinese food in New Haven.

The film crew has taken a temporary break, lunch time is one hour, and the set meal is delivered from takeaway, and the treasure bearers and experts are treated the same.

It's very American, it saves time, it can be all recorded in the afternoon, and it also saves money: lunch is paid for by New Haven City Hall.

Everyone had no complaints, pragmatic, Zhang Nan saw that the food was much richer than the box lunch in the general sense of Huaxia in the future, but he didn't stay to eat.

It's not that the set meal is too simple, and I don't pay attention to this Zhang Nan, or I just don't have to eat it. Who knew that he would come uninvited, so he booked so much, the funds were limited, and he didn't have their share!

I don't mind, I quite appreciate this style of doing things: the government, it must be pragmatic, not wasteful, and less vain.

Before leaving, Henry chatted with his niece Anna, asking her about the arrangements for the next period of time, and also learning about the upcoming arrangements for the "Treasure Hunt" program.

There are several groups of people in the film crew, but there are only two hosts, and they have to fly everywhere, and the recent arrangements for two people are clear.

Here Zhang Nan and several experts chatted casually, saying two polite words to each other, and suddenly heard Anna say that she was going to Tucson at the end of the month, and the program team was going to have a big time there.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan on the side said to Anna: "Coincidentally, my wife and I also have plans to go to Tucson at that time, you still have to work today and have no time, so I will invite you to dinner then." ”

The big boss wants to have a treat, it's a good thing, the film crew who temporarily stopped eating the package are all thankful.

What did Zhang Nan do in Tucson, the second largest city in Arizona?

The same reason as the program group: join in the fun.

......

After a feast at a seafood restaurant near the marina, it's time to head back to Long Island on your own superyacht.

A few nautical miles from his cove, Brown called: it was a coincidence that he was going to Tucson in 20 days.

Knowing that Zhang Nan would be able to return to the manor in more than twenty minutes at most, Brown and Joshua were going to come together, and there were some other things that he had to say in person, but he couldn't understand it on the phone.

The boat docker went home, and before he could enjoy holding his daughter and son, two jewelry experts arrived.

The women of all sizes are all in the house, even Chariz Theron is resting at home, she is still on vacation, and there are still a few days left in the school year.

It has to do with jewelry, and they all come to join in the fun.

Sit down in the living room, Zhang Nan will feel that this Brown and Joshua are a little weird today, and after sitting down, they feel as if they are asking for something for themselves.

Finally, Brown spoke first: "Boss, Oscar is decided, right?"

Henry, who had no head or brain, felt a little inexplicable when he hadn't left on the side: Two big brothers, I'm in charge of that matter, okay, what kind of situation do you have?

Then, Henry and Zhang Nan seemed to think of something at the same time, and the latter said: "You ask Henry about this, he knows better than me." ”

Henry DeBosson had already guessed in his heart, and when he heard the boss's words, he said to Brown: "The voting for the nomination on the 29th of last month has been launched, and the vote will be cast in the next few days, and the nomination will be announced on the 15th."

The nominee luncheon will be held on the 2nd of next month, and the final voting will start on the 6th, and the deadline will be until the 17th, and the award ceremony will be on the 22nd.

It's all their own people, and to tell the truth behind closed doors, Mrs. Adjani has no problem winning the Best Actress this time, and there are double yolk eggs at most.

I said Brown, didn't you say last time that Mrs. Adjani's jewelry for the Oscars was designed with diamond jewelry designed by Joshua's team, and you guys have changed?"

One side is in charge of jewelry, and the other side is in charge of the film and television media empire, and the connection between them is, of course, jewelry and stars.

Coupled with the Oscar factor, Brown guessed that it was because of what jewelry Adjani wore when she attended!

It is a certainty that 100% of the jewelry of "Star International" is certain, not only Adjani, but also actresses who are qualified to attend this film event and have a close relationship with "Star Colombia", will also wear the high-end jewelry of "Star International".

Among them, Adjani will be the incomparable queen of jewelry!

It had been planned for a long time: this time I would not wear a diamond that had been seen in public before, lest it be said that "who borrowed this chain, where did this ring appear......

She doesn't need her own necklace with a center diamond of more than 100 carats, and next month Adjani will wear a new set of purple, red diamond and ruby jewelry to the Oscars, which will definitely amaze the audience!

It was her own jewelry, and in the future it would belong only to Isabelle Adjani!

Nicole and Jenny fully embraced the French roses, and the two took out a lot of loose diamonds and cut rubies from their respective "treasure troves" and sent them to Adjani.

The largest diamond on that new design jewelry set was purple even though it was only 15 carats!

It's completely unreasonable!

People's one-carat purple diamonds are the treasures of treasures, and you have a 15-carat one, so that people don't mix?

Brown and Joshua seem to have done something about it, has the situation changed?

At this time, Brown said a little cautiously: "That's right, we think that the Purple Diamond series will not be sold at all, at least in the next few years, there will be no surplus for sale."

Joshua and I wondered if Madame Adjani would be able to wear a new set of jewelry at the Oscars and then wear a purple diamond on other occasions. ”

Why not sell?

No way, no matter how big or small the number of purple diamonds is, it is so small that it is not enough for Zhang Nan and a few women, and they are sold for hair!

If it weren't for the very small amount of purple diamonds mined in Zimbabwe a few months ago, it is estimated that Nicole would be reluctant to give such a "superstar purple diamond" to Adjani.

"Why?"

Zhang Nan asked very simply: these two guys must be hiding some big trick behind their backs!

Purple diamonds, rare in the world!

"The tourmaline from Brazil has been processed, and Joshua and I agree that it is unbeatable!

Purple diamonds, while very suitable, will not be sold at all for at least a decade and will not help the company as much as the new product.

And, boss, the new Paraiba tourmaline is truly unparalleled and unparalleled in the world!

The color of the cut product is completely unique to it, and there is absolutely no other gemstone that has never seen such a color!"

Is it really that exaggerated?

In order to convince Zhang Nan, the two guys brought everything with them, a three-piece set and four items: a Paraiba tourmaline natural style necklace with a pear-shaped center stone, which is large and weighs 65.6 carats.

The center stone can be detached and attached to a laurel branch necklace set with 665 diamonds, which completely accentuates the unique color of the center stone.

The ring features a white gold and yellow gold pedestal set with a pear-shaped 19.11 carat Paraiba Seal, identical in colour to the necklace's center stone.

There are several layers of patterns on the sides of the center stone of the ring, embellished with a bunch of colorless diamonds, emeralds, pink-red spinels, fire opals, amethysts, sapphires, yellow sapphires, blue ashlars, pink sapphires, demantoid garnets and spessartite garnets in various shapes!

As for the pair of earrings, two lapalaiba tourmalines weighing 14.5 and 14.7 grams each are used as the center stones of the earrings, and they are also surrounded by a pile of diamonds and gemstones of various colors to form a small flower.

Rings and earrings have so many side stones in color and variety that they can exceed the color palette, will this design be overwhelming?

The eyes of everyone in this living room, including Zhang Nan, were attracted by the four tourmalines on this set of jewelry!

Beautiful, completely stunning and beyond the most optimistic estimate of the previous beauty, attractive!

This is a kind of transparent blue that has never appeared at all, so blue that everyone's eyes can't get out after seeing it!

Zhang Nan is not exempt from vulgarity.

In my last life, I knew about this top-grade tourmaline, and I also knew that the real Brazilian Paraiba tourmaline was frighteningly expensive, but I had never seen it!

It's very simple, there are too few Paraiba tourmalines in Brazil, so few that Zhang Nan has never seen the real thing in China: there are too few Paraiba tourmalines in the real country!

Brown was right, the color and texture were incomparable, because before that, such a blue color had never appeared in front of humans on Earth!

Judging from the reaction of the boss and others, Joshua knew that he and Brown's self-assertion should not cause the boss to be unhappy, and said: "This is the only set of finished Paraiba tourmaline jewelry in the world, and it is also the largest four Paraiba tourmalines in the world. ”
