Chapter Eighty-Nine: What a Courage
The link finally entered the final event, which was the auction on the black market.
Everyone knows very well that the items that can be auctioned on the black market are not ordinary treasures, and it is absolutely impossible to show them without more than one million.
"Old Liu, are you going to bid for Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Atlas"?" asked Zhao Tianming.
However, I guess there will be a lot of competition, right? If you want to get it, I'm afraid it's not a simple answer, at least it will be very painful.
Zhao Tianming even doubted that even if it finally fell into his own hands, the country would not rest assured that such a national treasure would fall into the hands of private individuals. When the time comes, not only will it pay a huge price, but it may also be taken away by the state, which is really a chicken and egg beating.
The seventh master shook his head and said, "I don't need to make a move, and I don't have the ability to do it." ”
He is purely a soy sauce maker, and he has no idea of taking it for himself. As long as this kind of national treasure can be returned to his country, he doesn't care too much about who it falls into.
Present, there is Taishan in the cultural relics world, as well as patriotic tyrants, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
According to his idea, this treasure will eventually be clapped by patriotic entrepreneurs and then transferred to the state. Rich people like to do this, give some money, let the country remember, and it will be much easier to do business in the future.
The items on the auction, Zhao Tianming can not be confirmed, for the time being, only the items that come into contact can identify the authenticity. Therefore, he usually does not touch the treasures at auction.
The black market is worthy of being a black market, and the treasures that can appear at auction are extraordinary, either from amazing sources or precious anomalies, and every piece that is displayed can surprise people.
"Awesome! The treasures of Emperor Jianwen's mausoleum have been moved. Zhao Tianming had to sigh.
How long has it been since the tomb of Emperor Jianwen was discovered? It is estimated that the items inside have not been fully counted until now, right?
In this, there is no stealing food from the cultural relics department, who believes it?
It can also be seen that the forces of the black market have invaded the museum and cultural relics department, and the forces behind it should not be underestimated.
Zhao Tianming glanced at Liu Lao and found that he also had some anger on his face, obviously very dissatisfied with this. That treasure, which he had seen with his own eyes, belonged to one of the few precious cultural relics in the coffin of Emperor Jianwen.
"I heard that the discovery of Emperor Jianwen's mausoleum has something to do with you!" Ye Qiushuang said to Zhao Tianming.
She learned this from Liang Yin's mouth, and it was hard to imagine that such a person had really been in contact with antiques for less than a year.
She has been in this circle for several years, but she can't even count half a bucket of water, and people are really angry compared to people!
"It didn't have much to do with me, but I was there at the time. Zhao Tianming said.
Liu Lao didn't think so: "Why doesn't it matter? It's not a coincidence that you got involved in that, it is estimated that the first unsolved case of the Ming Dynasty is not so easy to figure out. ”
"Then the Koreans bid. Zhao Tianming reminded.
"Don't worry! Liu Lao is very confident in this.
Their black market is also principled, and it is a relatively important national treasure that will not fall into the hands of foreigners. It is precisely because of this that this black market can survive until now, and it is still delicious.
As long as there are foreigners competing, even if their own countrymen can't compete with others in the end, the black market will arrange for people to shout high prices to make the other party retreat.
Sure enough, the treasure was finally slapped by a big Chinese boss.
In the auction hall, all of them are high-quality products, and there are many people competing, so it is not lively for a while.
Among them, there was also a jade seal, which really surprised Zhao Tianming. Jade seals dare to come out for auction? The guts are too fat, right?
You must know that the seal originated from the Zhou, and it was only in the Zhou Dynasty that there was a distinction between the seal and the seal, and the seal used by the emperor was called the seal, and the seal used by the subjects could only be called the seal.
Among them, the most famous is the heirloom jade seal, which was engraved by the order of Qin Shi Huang. Its square circle is four inches, on the New York hand over five dragons, the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", as a token of "imperial power, orthodoxy and legitimacy".
The emperors of all dynasties have taken this seal as a symbol, and they are like treasures, and they are also important weapons of the country.
If you get it, it symbolizes that it is "ordered by the sky", and if you lose it, it shows that its "qi has been exhausted". Those who ascend to the throne without this seal are ridiculed as "white emperors", which appear to be lacking in confidence and are despised by the world. As a result, the people who want to seek great treasures will fight for me, causing the jade seal of the country to change hands repeatedly, so that it is finally lost.
The jade seals of the Ming and Qing dynasties are actually imitations.
However, even if it is a counterfeit, it is incomparably precious as a special badge for the emperor. Such a treasure is also an important weapon of the country, and it was actually auctioned off by the black market?
"This black market is becoming more and more lawless. Liu Lao couldn't help but say.
That Korean guy even joined the bidding, which made Zhao Tianming a little puzzled, even if he was photographed, could he bring them back to South Korea? It is impossible for China to let this kind of national treasure go overseas.
"People can even get their hands on the treasures of the British Museum, these are just trivial!" Ye Qiushuang said.
She was not very surprised, after all, the other party could be in the British Museum as if no one was there, and her ability was admirable.
After a long time, I finally waited for Gu Kaizhi's "Female History Atlas", and there were not many people at the auction to introduce the origin of this ancient painting.
However, even Mr. Jin beside Wang Weiguo was stunned.
He had long heard that this black market was very famous in Asia, and it was almost the largest black market exchange for cultural relics in Asia. I never imagined that I could see the Chinese cultural relics collected by the British Museum.
His eyes are also shining, and he has a plan. Even if you can't get it, you will leak the news after you go out, so that China will have trouble with Britain for a while.
In fact, Koreans also do not have a good opinion of the British Museum.
Their national treasures, as well as those in the British Museum, are sought after by their leaders every year, but they are not birds at all.
Now, when he has the opportunity to sit and watch the excitement, he will naturally not let it go.
When the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the rich people present became restless, as if the money was not their own, and the price of "The Female History of Zhentu" rose all the way, and soon exceeded 100 million.
"Seventh Master, what do you think can be auctioned at a sky-high price?" Ye Qiushuang asked.
"It's hard to say, three or two hundred million is definitely not a problem. ”
Mr. Kim from South Korea finally experienced the horror of China's rich people, and he also saw the preciousness of ancient Chinese art. Their national treasure of South Korea is also boasted in their own country, and compared with other people's China, it is simply different.
"360 million! Is there anything higher? 360 million ...... for the first time."
With the hammer in the auctioneer's hand striking three times, "The Female Historian" was finally auctioned by a Chinese tyrant.
"I guessed that he would definitely be clapped his hands. Liu Lao said, which seemed to be expected.
He briefly introduced to Zhao Tianming that he was a very wealthy person, one of China's invisible riches, and he had lost his overseas national treasures many times.
