Chapter 1082: Pig Killing Knife and Wang Xizhi

Han Xuan walked and watched, suddenly stopped a few meters away, stood next to a cupboard, and looked at the items placed inside with interest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The boss, Alfred, thought that business had come to him, and asked him, "Do you like this weapon from China?"

It is made of pure gold, and it is also inlaid with precious stones, the workmanship is very exquisite, look at the patterns engraved on it, and the expert appraisal is that it is an antique of the Ming Dynasty.

This large opal on the handle is worth a lot of money, and if you want to buy it, it's only four hundred thousand dollars, and the seller allowed me to compromise a little bit on the price. ”

"Uh, you say it's a weapon?"

Han Xuan was immediately happy, crying and laughing, pointing at that thing and saying, "What a weapon! This is clearly a kitchen knife!"

In the vegetable market over there, the butcher kills pigs and cuts meat, and this is the kind of pig-killing knife used!"

“…… Kitchen knives can also be used as weapons.

But you can't deny that it's really beautifully made.

Look at this superb opal on the hilt, it alone sells for more than $250,000.

If the seller told me that it was a kitchen knife, I would definitely not sell it so cheaply, after all, there are many weapons inlaid with gems, but there are not many kitchen knives, and they are scarce and expensive.

Don't miss this opportunity, I'm going to increase the price later, this is a kitchen knife that hasn't been used for hundreds of years, and it looks so beautiful. ”

"You're a natural salesman. ”

Han Xuan looked at the opal on the handle of the knife, it was indeed very beautiful, and it was also very large, worth the price.

It is estimated that it was an upstart in ancient times, who was bored and created this thing, and it is likely that the style is the emperor, and others are not so boring that they hurt their eggs.

continued: "Is it really a Ming Dynasty antique?"

"It's definitely the Ming Dynasty, I can write it on the invoice, the things here have been identified by many experts, who dares to lie to you?"

Han Xuan asked him to open the cupboard, put on his gloves, and took out this golden pig-killing knife full of strong local tyrant flavor, with three small characters written on it in traditional Chinese: "Guanglu Temple".

This is the Ming Dynasty responsible for the various banquets in the palace, after the end of the day to reward the minister's wine and rice, also handled by Guanglu Temple, and Guanglu Temple is also responsible for sacrifices.

Naturally, this style of kitchen knife is not used for ordinary cooking, not to mention that gold is soft, and it is more likely to be used for sacrifice at that time.

Similar antiques are rare, Han Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, I want it."

If there is such a fun thing in the future, remember to contact me, in addition to this knife, are there any other Chinese antiques?

My museum over there was about to open, and I needed something that would increase its impact. ”

“……

Yes, there is one, but it has already been ordered, and he has not had time to come and get it.

Wang Xizhi knows, right?

The ancient Chinese calligrapher, his things were all sought-after goods, and they were bought as soon as they came. ”

Alfred led him to the calligraphy and painting area, pointed to a yellowed calligraphy work on the wall and said: "Wang Xizhi is a person from more than 1,600 years ago, the paper can't be preserved for that long, and his authentic work has long been gone, so the facsimile of the Tang Dynasty and before is generally regarded as genuine."

It is 24.5 centimeters long and 13.8 centimeters wide, with a total of four lines and 41 characters, and the buyer paid $14 million for it, which is about $340,000 per word.

When the seller told me that he wanted to sell it for this price, I thought he was joking, and tried to contact a few people who liked this kind of thing, but I didn't expect to sell it on the first phone call, which was crazy.

To be honest, I don't even know who the author is now, and the Chinese antique collection market is getting hotter and hotter. ”

"You should have contacted me first, or my grandfather could have bought it too, I'm sure we'd have bought it then.

You don't know Wang Xizhi's status in China, people have called him ...... for thousands of years The god of writing. ”

Han Xuan didn't know how to translate "Shusheng", so he replaced it with this strange title, and continued: "Although this is not Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting, the author may have seen the authentic handwriting at that time and copied this character according to it.

In other words, the text should be very similar to the original, and it seems to me that it is worth so much money.

Can you tell me who bought this pair, I like it too, and if I have the chance, I want to collect it. ”

Staring carefully through the glass, there are poems and texts with Qianlong inscriptions, as well as Wen Zhengming, Wang Guxiang, Peng Nian, Hu Rujia and other famous inscriptions, the Qianlong Emperor praised it back then, and it can even be compared to his own collection of "Sunny Post when the Snow is Fast", which is a national treasure among national treasures.

The "Sunny Post in the Fast Snow", which was extended from Wang Xizhi's original handiwork, is now collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and is known as one of the treasures of the town hall along with Cixi's jade cabbage and Lang Shining's "Hundred Horses".

Although this "Peace Post" is not as famous as the "Clear Post When the Snow is Fast" at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, nor is it as famous as the "Lanting Collection Preface" that is rumored to be buried by Wu Zetian, it is still a rare masterpiece......

has already been sold, and it is not in accordance with the rules to Han Xuan again.

But Alfred didn't want to displease the big customer, nodded and said: "The buyer is a Japanese, you may know, the Mitsubishi family."

I'll call you and ask, and if the other party wants to sell it to you, then it's yours.

But if you don't want to, I'm sorry, I can't help it, unless the seller repents......"

"The seller is Chinese, right?

If the Mitsubishi family doesn't agree, you can ask the seller who you want to sell to, and I'll pay the liquidated damages. ”

Han Xuan's expression was slightly unhappy.

During World War II, Japan looted more than 100,000 cultural relics from China, some of which were turned into national treasures.

When Westerners invaded China, they didn't know what a treasure was, but the Japanese, who were well versed in Chinese culture, understood that they took the most high-quality treasures.

The Shang and Zhou Dynasty bronzes of the Tiger Cannibal, the copy of Wang Xizhi's "Funeral Post", and the Yaobian Tianmu Tea Bowl are now in the possession of Japanese museums and private collectors.

Boss Alfred was engaged in this business and came into contact with many Chinese, and he understood how strong the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese was.

Han Xuan said so, I believe that the seller should choose to sell to Han Xuan, since it is the seller who regrets it, it is none of his business, and said with a smile: "I will help you arrange it, it should be no problem."

Come with me again, there's a precious antique there, and I think you'll like it too.

It was sold by a Frenchman to my place, called "Qianlong Da Yue Tu", and the author is the same as the bronze sculptures you want to collect recently, which is also Lang Shining, 24 meters long and more than 60 centimeters wide.

Han, I'm helping you inquire about the whereabouts of those bronze sculptures, but unfortunately I haven't found them yet......"

Just then, the sound of the elevator door opening came.

An elderly Chinese woman who looked to be in her fifties struggled to hold on to a blackened stone tablet and looked around.

Alfred laughed and said, "Ha! The seller I contacted for you has arrived!"

Be careful, I'll get it for you!"

Han Xuan's eyes were strange, he didn't expect that the so-called treasure was a stone tablet, and he thought to himself that there was a famous calligrapher's calligraphy and painting engraved on it, but ...... (To be continued.) )
