Chapter 42: Emptying?
Peaty, Li Rui actually saw a lot of bronzes! They are all very rare artifacts, the age should not be low, maybe they are things from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Bronze is also a worthless thing?
Next Olympics!
Li Rui directly burst into foul language, the law restricts the trading of bronzes, I thought what a treasure it was, it turned out that these bastards were also treated as garbage.
"Well, little brother, that pile doesn't belong to the artifact store. Manager Feng saw Li Rui staring directly at a pile of bronzes, mistakenly thinking that the other party was interested, and hurriedly explained.
Not a relic shop?
Li Rui was stunned and puzzled.
"Bronzes are antiques that the state explicitly prohibits the sale of, and as a state-owned cultural relics dealer, how can we make such a mistake. ”
Well.
Li Rui nodded silently, feeling reasonable.
As a state-owned enterprise, performance is secondary, and the most important thing is political correctness. Specific to cultural relics units, that is, to follow the mainstream and not touch the red line. Bronze is undoubtedly one of the most sensitive and concerned areas of the cultural relics world, and touching it is undoubtedly your own death.
Manager Feng continued: "Those bronzes belong to the Institute of Archaeology, and the Institute of Archaeology moved last year to temporarily store these bronzes in our warehouse. ”
"It should be precious, right?" Li Rui said.
"Heh, of course it is precious, they are all excavated from the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they have very high archaeological research value. Zhou Xue continued. If the cultural relics excavated by the archaeological unit have no research value, they will generally be directly handed over to the museum, and those left behind are not thoroughly studied.
"Precious cultural relics are piled up here so casually, aren't you worried about damage?" Li Rui couldn't understand. What kind of trouble is it that you have worked so hard to dig out of the tomb, but you can't protect it well.
"At the beginning, it was because of the relocation to store it temporarily, and it was only put on the ground for three or five days, and it was deliberately placed near the gate to facilitate the removal afterwards. Later, for some unknown reason, the Institute of Archaeology never sent anyone over......," said Manager Feng.
"Then you should also tidy up and protect it, after all, they are all precious cultural relics. ”
Manager Feng looked at him and replied casually: "Whether it is precious or not is not a matter of our cultural relics store. It's something from the Institute of Archaeology, they don't care about it themselves, what are we meddling in. And the cultural relics store is short of funds, so there is no extra money to organize and protect this bunch of things. On the other hand, if something is broken or lost in the process of moving, it is impossible to say whose responsibility it is. ”
Hear the words.
Zhou Xuexue also smiled, taking into account the overall situation every day, and repeatedly emphasized, but what can be done is a few, and taking care of one's own one-third of an acre of land is the norm.
Manager Feng allowed the Institute of Archaeology to store cultural relics, and it was good that he didn't go to the Institute of Archaeology to ask for storage fees. In turn, help the other party sort out and protect things, and there are no doors.
Li Rui seems to understand the idea of the cultural relics store, and it is impossible to judge whether it is right or wrong, but it is human nature. There is no point in continuing on this topic.
……
Syllable.
Li Rui watched while walking, didn't pay attention to his feet, and tripped over an iron kettle without paying attention, kicking it with a bang, and the iron kettle was also knocked out of the distance.
"Things are a little messy, be careful!" Manager Feng hurriedly reminded.
"It's fine!"
Li Rui smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was okay. Then his eyes turned to the iron kettle that rolled out of the distance, rusty, nothing unusual.
"Ha, don't look at it, an ordinary iron kettle from the Republic of China period is an old object, but it is so badly corroded, it is no different from scrap iron. Zhou Xuexue said with a smile.
Republic of China iron kettle......
It's a miracle that it wasn't thrown into the steelmaking furnace!
I was curious before I came in, but I didn't think it was anything if I saw it with my own eyes. Frankly speaking, I really suspect that these things in front of me were picked up from the garbage dump.
Li Rui didn't know that he really guessed correctly, part of the inventory of the cultural relics store was purchased from the private sector, and the other part was allocated from the scrap yard. Many illiterate people never thought that the old objects at home were antiques, and they were sold directly to the scrap yard after being discarded. The state should be aware of the fact that this situation is quite common, so it will send professional experts to station at the scrap yards to pick up treasures in the garbage dumps.
"Manager Feng, please take me directly to see the porcelain. Li Rui said. After wandering around for a while, I lost interest in continuing to browse, the key is that I have no eyesight, and the baby can't be found under my nose. One is blind, and no matter how bright the gold shines, it is unnoticed.
"Hey, good, good!"
Manager Feng nodded busily, agreed with a happy face, and then walked in front to lead the way, walking briskly in the direction of placing the porcelain antiques.
Often, collectors specialize in a particular collection. The local tyrant boss in front of him only buys porcelain, and he is naturally a porcelain collector, and he looks at other things at will, satisfying his curiosity, even if he looks at it for a long time, it is impossible to buy it easily.
So.
In Manager Feng's heart, looking at porcelain is a serious matter, and there will be business.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xuexue and Yang Jintong, who were following behind, were more than ten meters behind, and they couldn't help but look at each other, secretly thinking that they were too anxious.
……
After galloping for three or four minutes, Manager Feng stopped suddenly, pointed to the porcelain not far away, and said, "Little brother, you see, from here it stretches to the east, and hundreds of square meters of land are all porcelain. Because there are too many porcelains, they are not sorted out, and it may take some effort to pick them up. ”
"It's okay, it's like you're on Taobao. Li Rui said with a smile.
Scold.
Other porcelain collectors may spend a lot of time picking things in this sea of porcelain, and they may even be dazzled and have no way to start, but Li Rui has no obstacles in this regard at all. Identification skills cover the scope of antiques, basically at a glance to see the authenticity.
Moreover, the eyes are strengthened into divine eyes, and small ants from a distance of one or two hundred meters can see clearly, let alone scanning a pile of porcelain, and there is no need to observe them one by one.
Before.
Buying antiques in the antique street and inspecting them one by one, on the one hand, is to make a gesture, and on the other hand, it is also to run in the information in the mind through physical objects.
"Manager Feng, next, for all the porcelain I pointed out, you directly ordered someone to register and pack. Li Rui said to Manager Feng with a smile.
Manager Feng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Hey, okay, no problem, I guarantee that nothing will be missed." After speaking, he immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare.
“……”
Zhou Xuexue and Yang Jintong, who were following behind and catching up, happened to hear the conversation between Li Rui and Manager Feng, and they were speechless for a while.
As soon as I heard this tone, I had to make a big move.
"Brother Li Rui, you don't plan to empty all the porcelain and antiques in the warehouse. Yang Jintong quipped in a rare way.
Ha.
Li Rui smiled and continued: "As long as the porcelain in the warehouse is all high-quality, and Manager Feng also intends to sell it, what does it matter if it is emptied?
