Although mahogany is not fragile, they are very expensive, so be very careful when packing, and all kinds of shock absorption measures must be done well, in case you bump and break something, it will be a big loss!
"Mr. Lin, see if the payment has been settled now!"
is about to settle down, and the boss's heart is also nervous, for fear that Lin Quan will release his pigeon at this time, and the joke will be big.
"Well, no problem, I didn't bring cash, can I swipe my card?"
Lin Quan took out his bank card and handed it to the store owner.
The shopkeeper took it cautiously and was about to swipe the card, Lin Quan turned around in the store casually, then stopped in front of this round back chair, patted it, tried the quality, and then sat down.
He said to the boss very casually: "Boss, I bought eight pieces of furniture in one go, why don't you give me one?
The sweat on the head of the shopkeeper is coming out, buy one get one free? Big brother, are you kidding! You cut 300,000 euros for eight pieces of furniture, and you still want to buy one get one free, then wouldn't I lose a lot of money?
Of course, the shopkeeper is impossible to accept, but Lin Quan said that it is acceptable to send a piece, but he doesn't know what he has chosen, if the selected thing is too expensive, the shopkeeper should be embarrassed, if he doesn't give it away, Lin Quan is not happy, this business has not been finally paid, he has not yet settled in the bag, and if it is given, the distress in his heart is simply out of breath.
"I just don't need a chair at home, I don't want much, you just give me a chair, na, just this one!"
Lin Quan patted the chair sitting under his buttocks very casually, and his movements were very large, as if he didn't care about it at all.
The boss looked at it, but it was only a bargain of 2,000 euros, this thing was strange, it was sold to him by a person for 1,000 euros, he originally marked the price of 10,000 euros and planned to try it to see if anyone bought it, but it turned out that everyone was not interested in this thing at all, so this thing was discounted by him and thrown into the low-end goods, but even so, everyone was not interested, and the boss was annoyed for a while, thinking that his 1,000 euros were wasted.
So at this time, seeing that Lin Quan chose this chair, he was immediately relieved, the cost of this thing is low, and he gave it to him, no big problem, so he said very boldly: "Okay, I have no other advantages as a person, but there is a little good, that is, generous, others praise me, I will not be hypocritical with you, I will let someone help you pack it later, and then let someone help you consign it back together, you see how it is!"
Lin Quan chose a broken chair, he saved a lot of money, there was no displeasure in his heart, but he was a little strange, why did this Chinese choose this strange-looking chair? Could it be that there is something strange about this thing?
But he saw that Lin Quan's attitude towards this chair was very rude, sitting on it and pressing it here, patting it anywhere, he didn't care about it at all, he knew in his heart that he was suspicious, it seemed that this guy was really missing a chair.
The boss secretly scolded Lin Quan in his heart, if he chose a piece of furniture worth tens of thousands of euros, it would be really difficult for him to do it, and if he didn't do it, he would give it to him, who knew that he was so eyeless, and actually chose such a broken thing.
Lin Quan was still a little apprehensive at this time, he saw the boss's puzzled eyes, so he stepped on this chair a few times without care, pretending to test its sturdiness, so as to hide the importance he attached to this chair in his heart.
This is really effective, after the boss saw him do this, he really lost interest in this chair, but Lin Quan's heart was very scared, for fear that he would cause some sequelae to this chair, more than 10 million antiques, it is really a sin to be despised by himself like this!
After swiping the card and paying the money, the boss arranged a truck to help Lin Quan carefully pack these things and send them to his castle.
Denise looked at the tightly packed things all over the room, and the expression on her face was puzzled.
"What is this?"
Seeing that Lin Quan finally carefully unpacked a package, and then revealed a quaint and strange chair, Denise finally couldn't help it, so she asked.
"Hey, that's good stuff!"
Lin Quan carefully removed the packaging, and then revealed the true body of this round back chair, and couldn't wait to lean over and look at the inscription on it.
"Twenty-four years for the King of Vietnam, Jiajing!"
This is what was given to the Vietnamese Wang family during the Jiajing period? The twenty-fourth year of Jiajing should be 1545, which is a very early period!
Lin Quan was immediately overjoyed, compared with the things of the Chongzhen era, this round back chair of the Jiajing period was seventy or eighty years earlier!
And the era when mahogany furniture became famous, that is, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, did it start from the Jiajing period?
"Is this an artifact?"
Denise saw Lin Quan's cautious appearance, and immediately became interested, her main job is archaeological exploration, and when she sees cultural relics, whether they are Eastern or Western, she will be interested in studying them!
"Well, it's a cultural relic, and it's more than four hundred and sixty years old!"
Lin Quan is still not sure about the specific time, the inscription on this seems to be a little irregular, why the gift does not have the name of the donor, only a year name, and whether this Vietnamese king is the royal family of the Nguyen clan remains to be investigated.
Lin Quan doesn't remember the history of Vietnam very well, but he knows that Nguyen Vietnam is the last dynasty in Vietnam, but this dynasty seems to have a history of only eighty or ninety years, and from the perspective of time, it seems to be too different from the Ming Dynasty!
"Is it so long?
Historical artifacts can be measured in age, which is not difficult for archaeologists.
The more Lin Quan thought about it, the more he doubted that this thing was not real, because the time gap was too big to match it at all.
But Denise began to measure with great interest, she has a set of professional testing equipment, which can use isotopes to check the age of these things, any living thing contains carbon elements, without this thing, it cannot constitute a basic structure, so using carbon isotopes, you can detect the age of various things.
"488 years!"
Denise broke out in time!
