Chapter 297: Zhuang Wang Baoding

Following the middle-aged man, the two walked together towards a house on the left side of the courtyard.

The house looks like it was built in the sixties and seventies, and by now most of the blue paint on the doors has peeled off, and the windows have been boarded up. On the concrete floor under the wall, a lot of soil has accumulated over time, and at this moment, many dog-tail grasses are growing happily.

Let the man in black who was originally guarding the door dodge, the middle-aged man took out the key from his pocket and opened the door, then turned on the light switch, and suddenly the whole room became bright.

Subsequently, Liu Dong also walked in.

The room is not big, only about 20 square meters, and the walls and ceiling are painted with white ash, but at the moment, because of the dust, and the reason for neglect to clean, the original white walls have begun to be gray at this moment.

At this moment, the interior of this room was empty except for the large ding, which was covered with a white cloth in the center.

"What is your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Liu, what's the matter?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just for convenience!" said that, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pulled the white cloth on the big ding aside, and suddenly there was not much red spots and green rust, the height was more than one meter two, the diameter was not less than eighty centimeters, the round belly was bulging, the square lips were flat, there were two standing ears, and the abdominal wall was straight, corresponding to the three legs. The middle part of the tripod abdomen is decorated with three-ring-shaped ears, the ring-eared ears are in the shape of a standing beast, the three-legged is columnar-footed, thick and thin in the middle, and the hooves are turned downward.

Although Liu Dong has not seen the inscription inside the Dading with his own eyes, just look at this well-preserved bronze Dading made of lost wax method at this moment. Liu Dong's heart was also unprecedentedly excited. Like this Dading that is enough to become a national treasure. It is the preservation that every collector desires.

Moreover, the rich purple aura on the Dading also indicates that this thing is at least more than 2,500 years old.

And when Liu Dong's hand touched the surface of the big ding, the identification result given inside the mustard space in his mind was, 'Chu Zhuang Wang Kechao Guo made his own tripod!'

After getting this result, Liu Dong's mood shook as if he had passed an eight-magnitude earthquake.

For one of the five hegemons of Spring and Autumn, the King of Chuzhuang, any Chinese is basically familiar with it. Of course, for people like Liu Dong who like antique collecting, they know more.

According to historical records, King Chuzhuang, a typical figure of the famous 'prodigal son who does not change his money', once conquered 26 vassal states and expanded his land for 3,000 miles. Defeat the Jin Kingdom, win the Central Plains, and forge hegemony. And the most famous thing he did was the famous story in history of 'asking Zhou Tianzi about the importance of the tripod'.

And what Liu Dong also knows is that, according to the records of the wild history, in order to show his merits, the king of Chuzhuang, who has achieved hegemony, collected all the weapons of the twenty-six countries he conquered in his life and cast twenty-six tripods.

"It seems that this is the great tripod cast by King Chuzhuang after conquering Chao Kingdom, in order to show his merits!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.

Come to think of it. Liu Dong leaned on the side of the tripod again, and then went to see the inscription on the wall of the tripod. Because of the reason for learning to carve. Liu Dong also has a certain amount of research on ancient characters. Liu Dong still knows some of the Chu Wen seal characters in the ding, although he can't read through them, but the general meaning is understood.

The 323 Chu characters are divided into two parts, one part records the process of King Chuzhuang's conquest of Chaoguo, and the other part records the words of praise to King Chuzhuang.

"Mr. Liu, how is it? There is no problem with this Dading, right?" The middle-aged man looked at Liu Dong's face with shock for a while, and ecstasy for a while, which was more exciting than the Sichuan Opera changing face, but after more than ten minutes passed, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Hehe, there is indeed no problem, but I think in addition to this big ding, you should have other bronzes in your hands, I don't know if you have any plans to make a move!"

Although according to history, there are still twenty-eight such Dadings, Liu Dong is not sure whether these people still have such Dading in their hands. Because during this time, there was no news of the theft of the tomb of King Chuzhuang. In this case, Liu Dong can't guess the source of this big tripod, but with his eyes, he still knows that the unearthed time of this big tripod will definitely not exceed a year. And it is definitely from the south, if it is from the north, because of the lack of water, the red spots and green rust on the big ding are definitely several times more than now.

After listening to Liu Dong's words, the middle-aged man smiled, as if Liu Dong's question had long been expected by him.

"If we still have such a big ding, how much money does Mr. Liu plan to pay?"

Hearing this, Liu Dong's eyes flashed, and then he said without hesitation: "If it is similar to this Dading precious Cheng dù, I am willing to pay 10 million! 10 million each, if you have other bronzes, I can also buy them all! And the price is guaranteed so that both parties can be satisfied!"

Now, in addition to spending the remaining fifteen million in his card, he also has 400 million yuan that Zhou Bin helped use the jade to mortgage from the bank. Although the 400 million yuan is the money he invested in Hengyuan Real Estate, but when the company was first established, it was impossible to invest all the money at once, and it took a process in the middle.

Therefore, at this moment, Liu Dong has enough money in his hands to do this business, as for the money to set up the company, it is a big deal to buy these national treasures, and after he is tired, he will go to the gambling stone fields in various places, and I believe that with his relics Yuanguang, it will not be difficult to raise 400 million yuan before the end of this year.

At this moment, listening to Liu Dong's generous words, a bright smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, as if he was very satisfied with Liu Dong's answer.

However, in Liu Dong's eyes, the smile on the face of the middle-aged man represents the two words 'greed'!

"Since Mr. Liu is so generous, then please come with me!" said the middle-aged man who stretched out his left hand and made a 'please' gesture.

"What about my big ding?"

"Mr. Liu, don't worry, we will keep the things for you, and we guarantee that there will be no problems!" the middle-aged man hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, and then walked out when he was middle-aged.

At this time, the sky outside has already lit up, and in the absence of lights, it is already very clear to see things.

Following behind the middle-aged man, Liu Dong came to the auction hall at the back of the compound again, but half an hour ago, it was still full of people, and it had become extremely quiet at the moment.

After coming in, Liu Dong just looked at it briefly, then followed the middle-aged man into the backstage, and then stopped in front of an iron shelf.

Then I saw the middle-aged man knock on the wall three times, and then I saw the iron frame slide to the left side with a piercing friction sound, and then a hole about one meter wide and about one and a half meters high appeared in front of the two people.

"Mr. Liu, come in, be careful to meet!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded and bent down to follow.

After entering, what appeared in front of Liu Dong was a mezzanine in the wall about one meter wide and straight down, and there was a big man in black behind them, and then after they came in, they pressed the button on the wall, and then saw the iron frame outside slide and return to its original position, and the iron hook behind the iron frame just hooked a steel ring embedded in the wall in the wall. With this hook, people who don't know the method naturally can't get in.

"What you did was really secretive!" Liu Dong said indifferently.

Hehe, just like Mr. Liu said before, "It's better to be cautious!"

"Mr. Liu, please!"

After nodding, Liu Dong followed behind the middle-aged man, followed the stairs leading straight down the mezzanine inside the wall, and walked down step by step under the illumination of the wall lights.

After about ten meters down, a black iron gate appeared on the left hand side of the two. The middle-aged man knocked on the door, and after the iron door opened, he walked in with Liu Dong.

After entering, what appeared in front of Liu Dong was a hall of about fifty square meters, which was relatively luxuriously decorated, with sofas, coffee tables, wine cabinets and other furniture. There are even a few oil paintings hanging on the walls, but if you look at the décor here, it is not much inferior to the luxury suites of a five-star hotel. Obviously, the owner of this place should also be a person who enjoys life very much.

While Liu Dong looked around, he didn't forget the person sitting here.

At this moment, in addition to the four bodyguard-like figures around him who were wearing black shirts and had a stern face, there were four other people on the sofa in the center of the hall.

One of them is a person wearing a white shirt and gray trousers, although Liu Dong doesn't know the brand, but they are obviously high-end goods. Coupled with the Swiss gold watch on his wrist and his meticulously groomed hair, he looks more like an urban gold collar at first glance, but looking at him sitting on the central throne at the moment, he is obviously the person in charge here.

And behind this person, there was also a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a black suit, wearing sunglasses, with his hands behind his back, and a stern face. Almost instantly, Liu Dong understood that this person also had kung fu on him.

In addition to these two people, there was an old man in his fifties on the sofa on the left, but when he saw him, the first thing Liu Dong thought of was an old peasant in the countryside of Shaanxi-West, with a dark face full of ravines, full of vicissitudes of time and memories of life, white cardigan, and two bare arms. The lower body is a pair of loose black pants, and it is definitely not a good material, and then wear a pair of black cloth shoes barefoot.

The most important thing is that he is not sitting on the couch, but squatting. And in this regard, the middle-aged man who sat in the center as if he was a city gold collar did not seem to be the slightest dissatisfied. It can be seen that this guy who looks like an old farmer in northern Shaanxi has a high status in the heart of that middle-aged man.

Like the middle-aged man, there is also a guy standing behind this old farmer in northern Shaanxi, but this person is burly, nearly one meter nine tall, and the muscles on his exposed arms are bulging high, and he is obviously not a guy to mess with. (To be continued......)
