Chapter 1084: Appraisal (5/5)

Clean and bright examination room, looking high-end. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Compared with the Chinese treasure experts who rely on their vision and experience, the detection method that combines data and experience in the United States seems to be more reasonable and scientific.

The so-called buying fakes is considered unlucky, which is not a normal practice, Han Xuan always feels that the person who creates the unspoken rules of this industry may make a living by selling fake antiques, otherwise how to deceive people.

There are too many mixed eyes, so much so that some time ago, he also bought some fakes in Huaxia, but he still can't say it.

You can ask the government department to help solve it, but then your reputation in the collecting circle will be ruined, and they will definitely not be able to tolerate people who don't fit in......

A young man in a white lab coat dipped a cotton swab in an unknown solution, wiped it back and forth on the stone tablet, then changed a cotton swab, and repeated the action in another place.

Put two cotton swabs into the test tube, close the lid and shake it vigorously, and use them later to analyze the age of microorganisms and mosses on the stele.

Later, the stele was moved to another machine, and the boss of Alfled told Han Xuan: "This machine is newly developed, and it can use ultrasound to inspect this stele without damage."

The quantitative detection of internal crack defects and the degree of weathering of stone cultural relics by ultrasonic wave can not only detect the direction and development degree of internal cracks, but also judge the degree and intensity of weathering according to the characteristics of sound waves, and obtain the approximate age ......"

I don't understand it, but it seems to be very professional.

Han Xuan waited boredly for a while, and at this moment came to the corridor and took out his mobile phone and called his old man.

It was approaching evening, and the sky was overcast, accompanied by the rumbling thunder, and a thunderstorm was coming.

Through the mobile phone, the old man's voice came, and he laughed and said, "Today is my wedding anniversary with your grandmother, and I am eating in your father's restaurant."

I heard that the big blue lobster on the table is yours? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ If you don't say I'm going to forget, let someone help me get it to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for exhibition. ā€

The blue lobster was a rare mutant blue lobster that the restaurant manager bought from a fisherman a few years ago and has been keeping it in the Meet restaurant on the Avenue of Fame.

The last time I had dinner with Murdoch, I saw that the small shrimp had grown into a big lobster, and it looked very beautiful.

Han Xuan was interrupted by the old man, almost forgot what he was going to say, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, I should give you a gift."

I'm at the Manhattan Antiques Center, and you can't guess what the seller is trying to sell. ā€

"Don't bother, your mom has a birthday, remember to help me and your grandma pick out gifts.

What does he want to sell, could it be the porcelain from the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty?"

The porcelain produced by the five kilns of Jun kiln, Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ding kiln and Ge kiln are all fine products that collectors are vying for, and it is not surprising that the old man thinks in this regard.

Han Xuanshen said mysteriously: "It is more precious than the five famous kilns, it is a stone tablet, and the seller asks for 10 million US dollars." ā€

"Ten million?"

The old man's surprised voice came, the antiques of the stele have always been sold at a low price, he has been playing with the collection for decades, so he naturally knows this, and then asked: "Is it inlaid with gold or diamonds?"

You won't meet a liar, how can a stone tablet be sold for such a high price?"

"What if...... What about the seal engraved with the jade seal of Qin Shi Huang on it?"

"What!?"

The old man's cry of great surprise came, accompanied by the screeching sound of the dishes colliding, probably too excited to stand up and accidentally hit the table.

Han Xuanle, I believe that probably every Chinese who knows the news can't help but be excited, and then said: "Alfred is arranging for someone to test."

Wait, I'll go find a camera and take a picture and fax it to you......"

……

After some busyness, he sent the black and white picture of the stele to the SOS headquarters, and when he called again, the old man said that he was already on his way back to the company.

The first to come out is the ultrasonic test results, according to the cracks on the surface and inner cloth of the stele, it has been weathered for at least a thousand years, and the time is very consistent.

Then there was good news, after the old man saw the handwriting on the stele, he recognized that its handwriting was from Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty left behind ink treasures such as "Ode to the Wagtail" and "Inscription on Mount Tai", and in the eyes of experts, these words are the best identification of the author's identity.

The old man was even more amazed at the seal.

It is speculated that Li Longji wrote on this stele with his own hands, and left a seal with the jade seal of the country, and handed it over to an excellent carver to carve out this stele.

Accidentally encountered this priceless treasure, he didn't even care about Han Xuan's purchase of Wang Xizhi's "Peace Post" by his descendants, just now Alfred had contacted the seller of the painting, and the other party agreed to resell it to Han Xuan.

I was busy until the night, and the final results came out.

In fact, Han Xuan already believed that this was a stone tablet of the Tang Dynasty, and the identification results indicated that the plant residues had a history of thousands of years, and it was a dose of strengthening.

On the spot, he wrote a check with a "1" followed by seven "zeros" to the old woman and signed the transfer contract.

I was afraid that she would not be at ease, so I deliberately asked the closed East West Bank to open the door again and help her go through the transfer procedures.

The old man, who was so anxious that he couldn't do it, flew from Los Angeles to New York in person, wanting to see it with his own eyes, Han Xuan left with a few pieces of collection he had bought, and went to the airport to greet him.

In the middle of the night, the grandfather and grandson met, and the old man couldn't put it down while holding the stele.

Knowing that his grandfather was not busy next, Han Xuan dozed off and said to him: "I just came to the airport, I plan to go back to Montana now, do you want to go with me to rest for a few days?"

"Hmm......

I haven't been there for a long time, but it's okay.

But it's raining now, why don't you stay at the airport and rest for the night and leave tomorrow morning?"

The old man carefully studied the "Peace Post" and said again: "Give them to me for a while, and then send them to your museum when I get tired of playing." ā€

"Whatever you want, I think Huaxia will be happy to die after hearing the news of this stone tablet, and it will be put in my museum in Shanghai when the time comes.

I don't need to look for a hotel, I have a room in my plane, and when the rain stops, I will be able to go directly, and I should be able to arrive when I wake up. ā€

"Hey, that's a great idea, let's go sleep in your plane.

It really should be sent back, and it's shameless to take any treasure abroad. ā€

"How can you sell it for 10 million dollars if you don't bring it abroad?

A seal makes me willing to spend so much money, probably only the jade seal of the country will have such a terrifying charm......" (To be continued.) )
