Chapter 684: Traces
Although Yu Yao was shocked after watching the video of "Ghost Eyes Piercing the Heart", he still controlled it to a certain extent.
At the same time, in order to obtain as much information as possible, he also first said that spending money may not be old and real. In this way, it is logical to ask about the origin. When questioned, he didn't ask Mr. Tang how he came here first, but first asked what Xie Hanwen said, which was more in line with the identification and normal logic.
However, Yu Yao actually didn't think about it, this is a natural habit.
"This, although it's not my thing now, but since I asked Mr. Xiaoyu to help me look at the Guanhong Sword, this thing is related, and I should tell you. Mr. Tang didn't push back, "Actually, I got it with the old man." ”
"I see. Yu Yao answered softly, and his heart must be that Qi Changhe thinks this thing is good.
Mr. Tang continued, "Two years ago, I went to the Japanese country with my old man and participated in an auction in Yokohama. ”
Yu Yao didn't want to interrupt, but he still couldn't hold back, "You're from the Wa Kingdom?"
"Yes. Qi Changhe nodded from the side, "I was the one who held up the card at that time, and he also arrived at the auction site." However, this thing was not acquired at auction. ”
"Huh?" Yu Yao was a little confused.
"Listen to me. Mr. Tang smiled faintly, "At that time, what we photographed was a Northern Song Dynasty Dingyao carved flower wearing a vase. ”
Yu Yao nodded, this thing, because he often looked at international auction records, he had the impression that it should have been sold for about 50 million at that time.
Mr. Tang continued, "After the auction, because I happened to have some business in the country, I stayed for a few days. Just one day before I was going back to China, the original owner of the kiln with a bottle contacted me. ”
"This person's grandfather once participated in the war of aggression against China, and this belt bottle was obtained at that time. He was not satisfied with the auction price, he thought that he could get more than 60 million, but it turned out that he had just reached 50 million, and after deducting the commission, he got even less. He came to me because he had a few more things and asked me if I was interested. ”
"This kind of thing, a discerning person will understand as soon as he hears it, it may be something that has been returned by the auction house. However, it didn't hurt to take a look, so we went. ”
According to Mr. Tang's introduction, this Japanese man took out three things to show him, a bronze gilt statue of Sakyamuni Buddha made by Qianlong officials, a Tang Dynasty lotus lion pattern eight prism, and a Yongle red peony pattern stone box.
Qi Changhe is an expert in bronze identification, and it was soon seen that the gilded statue of Sakyamuni Buddha made by Qianlong officials and the eight-prism of the lotus lion pattern in the Tang Dynasty were not true, and they were all imitations of the Republic of China. It seems that it makes sense to be returned by the auction.
These two things can't be collected, and Qi Changhe can't take the Yongle red peony pattern stone box. In short, it is not something that opens the door, and it needs to be deeply identified.
And this grimace is in this red seal stone box.
Qi Changhe asked what was going on? The Japanese people said that this was also his grandfather's belongings, and it was originally packed in an agarwood box, but the agarwood box was photographed, and the money was put into the red seal stone box by him.
Qi Changhe became interested in this money, and after studying it, he thought that it should be something from the Qianlong period, and he had never seen such a special money.
However, at that time, he naturally could not show interest, but said to the Japanese people that the three things are not old, and the Yongle red seal stone box, although it is not a thing in the early Ming Dynasty, but it is estimated that it can reach the Qing Dynasty, and it may be an imitation in the middle and late periods, and it is barely worth collecting.
This stone box, if it is Yongle red, it should be worth more than two million, if it is imitation, it will be much cheaper. After some bargaining, in the end, the Japanese asked for a minimum of 600,000, and Qi Changhe gave a maximum of 500,000.
At the time of the stalemate, Qi Changhe proposed, compromise, 550,000 yuan, but at this price, you have to take the money.
In the end, the Japanese agreed.
"Then old man, didn't you ask him where he got this money?" Yu Yao asked after listening.
"Since he agreed to take it, that's what we bought, I'm sure I'll have to ask. He's a Japanese national, and I don't tell him about the rules of the antique trade, and I'm really curious. Qi Changhe replied, "He said that this thing was privately hidden by his grandfather when he was on official duty. That is, now seventy or eighty years have passed, and my grandfather has also passed away, so I dare to say it. ”
"Private?"
"Yes, it was said that a person was interrogated in Huaxia and taken from this person's belongings. Not only did he take it himself, but his commander also took a snuffbox. ”
"What is this person they are interrogating for? someone from the Huaxia military?" Yu Yao then asked.
He said that it seemed to be the leader of a non-governmental anti-Japanese organization, but he didn't know the specifics. ”
"Was he executed after the interrogation?" Yu Yao's voice trembled slightly.
"He knows what I said, and he doesn't know anything else, not even the name of this person. Qi Changhe obviously couldn't have been so interested in this matter as Yu Yao, and then talked about spending money itself, "If it is the money spent during the Republic of China period according to what you said, it is also possible, maybe it is a token of this non-governmental anti-Japanese organization." It's just that the craftsmanship of imitating the Qianlong period was too exquisite, and I really couldn't recognize it at the time. ”
"What's the name of this Japanese man?"
"Goro Oda. Qi Changhe said in passing, "He also has a younger brother named Oda Shichiro." Originally, there were seven brothers, but four of them died when they were young, and his eldest brother, Taro Oda, died a few years ago. ”
Oda Goro?Oda Shichiro?Yu Yao couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, "Then what is the name of his grandfather who participated in the invasion of China? Did he say it?"
"Say, it's called Oda Yumitsu. Qi Changhe looked at Yu Yao, "Could it be that you still know a little bit of origin?"
"No, I just think it's a bit interesting to spend money, and I'm curious. ”
Qi Changhe listened and nodded, "That's all." Comprehensive analysis, if you change the Guanhong Sword, you will not lose. ”
"Hmm. Yu Yao nodded, thinking that Qi Changhe couldn't ask anything here, so he stopped there.
At the end of dinner, Mr. Tang was still a little unsatisfied, and when he was leaving, he said to Yu Yao that he would always contact him.
Yu Yao responded on his face, but he kept thinking about it in his heart.
Back at the hotel, Yu Yao took a shower first, calmed down, and sat at the table instead, spread paper and pen, and lit a cigarette, sketching some relationships while thinking.
He first sorted out two points.
First, the person who was interrogated by the devils of the Japanese country is very likely to be Xu Taiyan, the big palm!
Second, Oda Shichiro, who is now meeting Shangguan Yu in the United States, should know something about the Ghost Eye Gate, but he and the Nakatani family are not in the same group, and at the same time, he has a very delicate relationship with his brother Oda Goro.
