Early the next day, a piece of news spread among the treasure pickers:

Mahogany furniture was found in the vendetta warehouse company, and the company was surprised and contacted a Chinese mahogany expert to identify the authenticity and value of mahogany!

Even more exciting news is that the mahogany experts have recognized the authenticity of the mahogany in the warehouses and have given a fairly high valuation, so the warehouse company does not plan to auction the warehouses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Du heard the news when he was eating breakfast, and then called the auction reception office of the warehouse company, and said angrily: "We protest, the warehouse company cannot withdraw the warehouse that has been released!" ”

Warehouse companies can withdraw warehouses that have been put up for auction because some leasers will be greedy for cheap and renew their contracts on the last day of their contracts, and such warehouses will not be auctioned off again.

But this time the warehouse company was very depressed, they did not plan to withdraw the warehouse on the auction list, so they said: "Hello sir, we will not withdraw the warehouse that has been released......

"You can't do this, we're here because there are so many warehouses to be auctioned this time, and if you withdraw seven warehouses, then we're going to participate in a fart?" Li Du said indignantly.

Hans angrily said to the treasure pickers who were also in the same hotel, "Call the warehouse company, don't let them do that!" ”

The treasure pickers took out their mobile phones one after another, and then the auction hotline of the warehouse company was blown up.

In the restaurant of the hotel next door, Rick and his son, Pol, York, and others came down for breakfast before preparing to go to the auction.

Entering the restaurant, they saw a middle-aged Chinese man eating with a white man.

Rick didn't know the Chinese, but he did know the white man, who was the logistics director of the vendetta warehouse company.

When the two sides arrived at the restaurant, the middle-aged Chinese man was almost finished, and the table was full of food, and a good bottle of Mexican tequila was placed.

Sweeping away a piece of stewed slimy veal, the middle-aged Chinese man got up and said, "Mr. Powell, it's a pleasure to get acquainted with you, our exchange is very pleasant, goodbye." ”

The white man smiled happily and said, "It's also a pleasure to meet you, thank you, Mr. Liu, your knowledge is really profound." ”

The middle-aged Chinese man smiled: "You have a good reputation, I just know something about our Chinese architecture and furniture art, if I can help you, it would be great." ”

With a final wave of his hand, the middle-aged man left the restaurant.

Rick stared at the back of the middle-aged Chinese for a while, then gave his son a look and whispered, "Go, follow him, and see what's going on." ”

Little Rick left, and he walked up to the white man and smiled, "Powell, my old fellow, it's such a coincidence that I met you here, what are you doing?" ”

Powell wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Eat breakfast, someone just invited me to a great breakfast, it's really good." ”

Pol also walked over and asked, "Mr. Powell?" It's a pleasure to meet you, introduce yourself, my name is Frank Pol and I am a treasure hunter by profession......"

Powell shook hands with him, and he casually complimented him, at which time the phone rang, and then frowned: "What? Who spread the news? Well, let me go back and see what to do. ”

After hanging up the phone, he said to Pol and Rick: "Sorry, both, there was an accident in our company, I have to go back quickly, it's nice to meet you, let's talk later." ”

"Let's talk about it." Rick nodded with a smile.

Powell left in a hurry, and Bol looked at Rick and said, "What's going on?" ”

Rick's eyes flickered a few times, and then he said, "Mr. Pol, do you know why this auction attracts a lot of people?" ”

Pol is a senior treasure picker, and he came to the warehouse auction this time, not simply to show off to Li Du.

So when he heard Rick's words, he said, "There may be a batch of mahogany furniture in this auction?" ”

Rick nodded, "Yes, there is a batch of mahogany furniture, but I wonder if you have any deeper news?" This batch of mahogany families has a problem! ”

Pol asked vigilantly, "What's the problem?" I've only gotten a rough message, do you have any details? ”

"Yes, I contacted the storekeeper here and got some photos. ”

At this, he was a little smug: "You know, Frank, everybody has their own territory, and Arizona is my territory. ”

Knowing that he was demonstrating to himself, Pol sneered: "And then? ”

Rick continued, "I then gave the photos to a mahogany collector who thought the furniture might be fakes. ”

The United States is a country of national collections, furniture collection is one of the important branches, and mahogany furniture collection is an important branch of furniture collection.

Since the Opium War in 1840, more than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost to countries and regions such as Europe, America, Japan and Southeast Asia.

Even, in museums in the United States and the United Kingdom, the storage of rosewood furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China exceeds that of the Forbidden City, which has about 10,000 classical homes.

From this, it can be seen how much mahogany furniture has been collected in foreign countries.

In addition to museums, there is another interesting theory that the American West dug many caves 100 years ago, and they stored nearly 10,000 pieces of classical Chinese furniture in these heated caves for future generations.

Of course, whether it is a museum or a cave in the western United States, the collection is all famous mahogany furniture, such as the Huanghuali throne of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which is in the Danish Museum.

However, unlike other national treasures, most of the mahogany furniture and crafts that have been revealed to the West have not been through banditry, but through free trade and auctions.

Including the Huanghuali Throne of the Wanli Emperor, which was bought by a Danish collector at Sotheby's auction and eventually dedicated to the National Museum.

Therefore, in terms of mahogany collections, it is inconvenient for China to come forward to ask for restitution, which increases the popularity of related collections and gives birth to many collectors.

But any collector of mahogany supplies must have a deeper understanding of mahogany, and Rick contacted such a person to help him analyze the authenticity of these mahogany furniture.

Originally, he had already concluded that these mahogany furniture were fakes, but with the matter in front of him, he was not confident in his judgment.

Because the collector said that it is impossible to get a very accurate conclusion from the photographs. And the collector is also an amateur, and the conclusions he makes are not very authoritative.
