Wu Daozi's calligraphy and painting? Ji Kai was stunned.

With the knowledge learned from reading novels over the years, Wu Daozi's paintings and calligraphy works are rarely published, and even if they are, they are not sure whether they are true or false, and this calligraphy and painting may be the only authentic work in the world.

It is indeed a national treasure. Ji Kai has a bit of a headache, it's terrible. If he hadn't found it in front of so many people's eyes, he could have hidden it alone and admired it or kept it as a family heirloom. But now that four people know about it, I believe that more people will know about it soon.

You said that you wanted him to donate Wu Daozi's calligraphy and paintings to the country, but he was really reluctant. He didn't have that much consciousness, and he didn't want to be noticed by the upper echelons. After all, there may be more things and abilities that are difficult for ordinary people to understand in the future, if they are discovered, the result will either be accepted as "Zhao'an" or monitored for a long time, which is not what Ji Kai wants.

Ji Kai regretted a little that he didn't check this Buddha statue properly, he was confused by the Buddha statue made of gold at that time, and he just wanted to exchange some money, and he didn't expect it to develop to this point.

This thing must be sold as soon as possible, at least not in his own hands, he doesn't want to be exposed to the eyes of people with intentions, otherwise there will be constant trouble. He has to sell things anonymously as soon as possible, and he would rather make less money than let it stay, it's a big deal to open a domestic monopoly when the time comes, as long as it doesn't flow out of the country, he doesn't have such a big burden in his heart.

looked at the three appraisers who were still immersed in Wu Daozi's calligraphy and painting, quietly pulled Manager Li, and the two walked to a corner of the room. Ji Kai whispered to Manager Li with a bitter face:

"Brother, I'm in big trouble!"

"Trouble? If it's trouble to get such a treasure, then I'm willing to have such trouble every day. Manager Li looked incredulous, and said in his heart that you just had fun secretly, but he still pretended.

"Brother, you said that if this authentic work of Wu Daozi is born, will I still be able to keep it when the time comes?" asked Ji Kai.

When Manager Li heard Ji Kai's words, he thought about it, indeed, it's really like this,

"Brother, don't worry, I'm a tight-mouthed person, and I will never say it. Not necessarily. Manager Li hurriedly said.

"Dude, that's what I thought. I don't know if you can contact the person in charge of Sotheby's Xiangjiang, I want to talk to him. Anyway, I can't keep this thing, I hope that the auction house can hold an auction as soon as possible that only a few people in China participate, as long as this national treasure can continue to stay in China, it doesn't matter if the price is less, but I ask not to leak that I am the owner of this painting and calligraphy. Moreover, I hope that the auction house will immediately transfer this painting and calligraphy to Xiangjiang, and by the way, I can also sell the Buddha statue together. Ji Kai said what he thought.

"No problem, brother, I'll contact the auction house. With that, he stepped aside and made a phone call.

As soon as Sotheby's received a call from Manager Li, he was also surprised when he heard that Wu Daozi's authentic work was alive, and heard that it was an appraisal made by their appraisers, so the person in charge decided that for the sake of prudence, he would bring the appraisal team and the security team to Rongcheng secretly overnight, and it was estimated that he would arrive tomorrow morning.

As for Ji Kai's requirements, as long as the thing can be confirmed to be Wu Daozi's authentic handiwork, then everything is fine, even the commission for the auction is waived, and all the required expenses are all taken care of by the auction house.

At the same time, the person in charge also informed the three appraisers in Rongcheng by phone that they must do a good job of keeping secrets, and once the secrets are leaked, they will be investigated for legal responsibility, and vaguely explain that the consequences will be very serious.

After Ji Kai put away the two treasures, the group of five hurriedly finished dinner without even drinking wine. After dinner, after discussion, everyone stayed at the Hilton Hotel where Ji Kai stayed, and Manager Li consciously said that he would also go with him, and promised to supervise each other to prevent anyone from leaking secrets.

After returning to the Hilton Hotel, Ji Kai opened two luxurious double rooms for several people, and went back to sleep after saying goodnight to each other, as for the leakage problem, Ji Kai could only leave it to God.

Back in the room, in the face of these two treasures, Ji Kai didn't know where to store them. At this time, how much he wished he could have a storage ring or something like that from Xianxia novels, so that he wouldn't have to worry about losing the treasure.

Thinking of this, Ji Kai locked the door tightly, put on a few insurances, and placed some fragile vases at the door, once there was a sound, he could wake up quickly.

After all this, after taking a hurried shower, I lay on the bed and flipped through the key words and scenes in the language scene about storage, space, Sumeru, etc., to see if there could be any surprises. As for the two treasures, he put them in the bathtub.

When Ji Kai was awakened by a knock on the door, his head suddenly became very clear. Without even putting on his clothes, he rushed to the door, picked up the vase placed on the ground, held it high, and asked in a whisper:

"Who?"

"Brother Ji, it's me, Lao Li, open the door quickly, everyone is here. Manager Li's voice sounded outside the door.

Ji Kai put his eyes close to the cat's eye on the door, and saw that it was indeed Manager Li and several other people outside the door, and there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved.

"Brother Li, you're here too early!Wait, I haven't got my clothes on yet!" After saying that, he put down the vase and quickly put on his clothes and pants, and then opened the door.

"You sit down first, and I'll wash up. After saying that, he didn't care about the people outside the door, and went straight to the bathroom.

After washing, Ji Kai took out his backpack from the bathtub and walked out.

"I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Ji. I'm the head of Sotheby's Hong Kong, so you can call me Tony. A bald, big-bellied, obese middle-aged Chinese man stepped forward to introduce himself.

"Hello, Tony. It's me who got up late, I'm sorry to delay everyone's time, please take a seat. ”

"Mr. Ji, I don't know if we can take out that painting and calligraphy and let our appraisal team confirm it again, you know, this matter is too big, I have to be more cautious. Tony said directly.

"No problem, it's in this backpack, I'll take it out. "It's like this, Ji Kai kind of hopes that it's fake, so at least there won't be so much pressure in his heart.

When Ji Kai took out the calligraphy and paintings, the team members brought by Tony took out more professional and comprehensive equipment, and studied them against the information on the computer.

Two hours later, after the appraisal team concluded that the calligraphy and painting was confirmed to be Wu Daozi's authentic handiwork, Tony's smile became even brighter. Then he took out a commission manual, filled in the contents, handed it to Ji Kai and said:

"Mr. Ji, for the sake of safety, we signed this entrustment statement, and then I arranged for someone to send it back to Xiangjiang immediately, and at the same time arrange the preview. Of course, according to Mr. Ji's requirements, we will carefully select the right person to ensure the smooth and successful completion of the auction. ”

Ji Kai took the entrustment manual, carefully confirmed that it was a self-portrait of the Tang Dynasty painting saint Wu Daozi and a copy of the "Peace Post", a copy of the Tang Dynasty, and a gold Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty, signed his name, and then handed it to Tony. Later, Tony stamped and signed the seal of the auction house, and then returned a copy to Ji Kai.

After completing the transaction, Tony arranged for five security personnel to enter the room, put the Golden Buddha and Wu Daozi's calligraphy and paintings into two suitcases, and handed them to the security personnel for them to send back to the Hong Kong headquarters.
