"I arrived in the afternoon, but I didn't pick it up, and said I would contact again. Xie Zhihao took another sip of water, "What, you heard that it is a beautiful woman, and you want to meet it too?"

"I'm not interested in Japanese women, so I just asked casually. ”

"By the way, your Tianhe Auction House in Jiangzhou will start a three-day autumn auction preview tomorrow, do you know?" Xie Zhihao changed the subject.

"Yes. ”

Yu Yao not only knew that there were two other things for him, a bronze statue of Zhao Gongming of Wang Yulan, and a cloisonné enamel gold placenta bottle. However, he is not going to say more.

"Kamika Nakatani has taken a fancy to something, but she doesn't seem to be able to come forward. ”

"Huh?" Yu Yao looked at Xie Zhihao, "This is to ask you to help participate in the filming?"

That's pretty much what it means. What she fancied was a bronze from the Warring States period. ”

It is very difficult for the bronzes of the first three generations of the Xia Shang Zhou to go to auction, and there are many harsh conditions. It appears at auctions, mostly foreign auctions, and is rare in China.

Because the bronzes are mainly unearthed cultural relics, even if some are inherited in an orderly manner, there must be sufficient evidence, and at the same time, they must be submitted for approval and approved before they can be auctioned.

Xie Zhihao said, picked up his mobile phone, and called up a set of pictures.

This is a bronze tun, round belly and three legs, the volume is not large, the height and diameter are only a dozen centimeters. There are four ears in total, two ears are covered, and two ears are on the main body. The body has a relatively thick cloud pattern.

The bronze dun is a food vessel, and it has also been used as a ritual vessel for sacrifices. This type of vessel is relatively special, combining the characteristics of Ding and Gui, and it appeared relatively late, generally considered to be the Spring and Autumn Period, and after the Qin and Han dynasties, the bronze ware began to go downhill, and the type of Dun ware basically disappeared.

The name Dun is also quite special, because the same type of vessel was generally called Ding before the Qing Dynasty, and in the Qing Dynasty, some scholars named it separately, and it was called Dun. When pronouncing Bronze Dun, the pronunciation is not the commonly used Dun, but the Dui (dui).

This four-eared bronze Dun is the only bronze of the last three generations in this autumn auction, and it has been released on the official website of Tianhe Auction with the preview announcement earlier. There are not only introductions and pictures, historical inheritance, but also approval documents from the Dongjiang Provincial Cultural Relics Department.

Xie Zhihao showed Yu Yao a watermark on the picture, which was obviously taken down from the official website.

This four-eared bronze dun is not ancestral, but its origin is very clear, and it is impossible to pass the audit. Because ten years ago, this thing was auctioned off from an art auction company in the country of Wakoku, and the transaction price at that time was 300,000 yuan.

Now it has appeared in China again, with a starting price of 500,000 yuan.

The authenticity of this thing, Yu Yaoguang can't completely determine it by looking at the picture. However, this type of utensil, among the many types of bronze ware, appears unpretentious. As a cultural relic, it has research value, but in the bronze collection group, the attention is relatively low.

And this one, the copper is average, and the craftsmanship is rough. To put it mildly, it is estimated that it was an ordinary "rice bowl" during the Warring States period.

Nowadays, this starting price is reasonable compared to the real thing, and it is difficult to predict the transaction price to exceed one million.

Yu Yao was a little strange, how could Zhonggu Shenhua be interested in such a bronze? Moreover, ten years ago, this bronze was auctioned from the Wa Kingdom, and the Chiga Art Museum didn't notice it?

Since Xie Zhihao said it, Yu Yao asked directly.

"They are most interested in bronze and porcelain, as long as it is genuine, no matter how ugly it is, they can accept it. Xie Zhihao didn't hide it, in fact, this bronze is not ugly, but Xie Zhihao don't talk about this, he has never been interested in bronzes.

"Ten years ago, the company in Waguo was engaged in a special spring auction of Chinese artworks, not in Waguo, but on Huaxia Taidao. Chiga didn't know why he didn't catch up. However, there are some things in this auction that restrict foreigners from bidding, so I asked for help. ”

When Yu Yao heard this, he felt uncomfortable for a while. Although this thing is not very precious, it is easy to return from the Wa Kingdom, and the competent cultural relics department and the Tianhe Auction House have already put in place the procedures to restrict foreigners from taking them. But Xie Zhihao has to help the Japanese people get out.

"She didn't come just for this bronze tun, right?" Yu Yao said.

She didn't say anything else, maybe it was. Xie Zhihao looked at Yu Yao with a smile, "Brother, you are my lucky star, let's take a look at the preview with me?" ”

Yu Yao smiled coldly in his heart, in front of me, what can you count as good?

"We have a lot of exchanges on porcelain, how do you know I'm good at bronzes?" Yu Yao asked rhetorically.

"After meeting in Tianjingshan, I'll inquire about you further!" Xie Zhihao looked proud, "You are even very good at calligraphy and painting!

Yu Yao frowned, then smiled, "Okay, I'm going to go to the preview as well, so let's go and have a look." ”

Xie Zhihao suddenly took out a delicate small box from his arms, one side was transparent, and gently put it on the table, "A little bit brother, it's not a respect." ”

Yu Yao looked at it, and inside was a 10-ounce Gossel gold bar, which could be worth a small 100,000 according to the current gold price.

"What are you doing here? Besides, I haven't seen it yet. ”

Xie Zhihao is very good at talking, "It has nothing to do with this." My brother invited me to dinner, gave me warm hospitality, ran errands with me, and gave advice, and I was able to go to Mengegu Zhai for the first time, and I could still have two hands empty!"

"You're too polite, it's really inappropriate!"

At the beginning, Yu Yao wanted to befriend Xie Zhihao, but then a series of things happened, making him feel more and more unable to make friends with him. If it weren't for the fact that it was too turbulent, he wouldn't have planned to continue to communicate.

"You're just slapping me in the face! With your eyesight, it's not easy to make this little money? Don't be too little, this is a little bit of my heart!"

Xie Zhihao said, and actually got up, "I still have something, let's go first, let's contact at any time!"

Yu Yao picked up the gold bar and got up, but unexpectedly, Xie Zhihao's fat body was actually slightly flexible, he quickly opened the door, and after dodging, he blocked Yu Yao with the door, and blinked his eyes, "There is a chance to introduce beautiful women to you!"

Xie Zhihao said and walked quickly. Yu Yao didn't bother to chase anymore, he checked the gold bar in his hand, and said in his heart, he was an "informant" for Yang Sihai, and he didn't have a penny, so you made it for him.

Xie Zhihao's money didn't come from the wind, and he didn't do it because of one or two things. In the antique industry, eyesight is king, and he wants to make friends with Yu Yao for a long time.

Of course, Yu Yao also likes money, but some bottom lines can't be broken, so it's difficult to be with people like Xie Zhihao.

The reason why he agreed to help Xie Zhihao go to the preview to see the bronze tun was not only conducive to listening to the news, but also because he had an idea just now and came up with a small way to deal with it.
