Chapter 181 The Jade Seal of the Country

"No wonder so many people do cultural relics smuggling, it turns out that this business is really profitable. "At this time www.biquge.info, Mo Xie had already realized what the problem was.

There is no comparison between RMB transactions and dollar transactions, and in China, many things are restricted from leaving the country, so the number of various antiques is a bit large, so it cannot be sold at a price, but it is different abroad.

The foreign market is larger, but relatively speaking, good things are relatively scarce, which naturally causes the price to be expensive.

Next is one of the three treasures, the turquoise inlaid ivory cup, which is made of ivory roots, resembling a thin lip with a mid-waist, and a dragon-shaped handle on one side of the cup.

The cup body has a fine carved pattern and has considerable decoration, the upper and lower sides of the mouth are two plain wide sides, the middle is separated by a strip of turquoise for four sections, the first section is three groups of gluttonous patterns, there are tails on both sides, and the eyes, eyebrows and nose are inlaid with turquoise.

The second section is the upper part of the cup body ornamentation, the facial structure of the two groups of gluttonous patterns is clear, the animal mouth is below a large triangular pattern, there are symmetrical crests on both sides of the triangle pattern, the head is down and the tail is up, and the mouth, eyes, nose and triangular patterns of gluttony are inlaid with turquoise.

The third section is engraved with three deformation patterns, the eyes are inlaid with turquoise, the third and fourth sections are separated by three turquoise belts, and the three groups of gluttonous patterns in the fourth section are also inlaid with turquoise.

The first, second and fourth sections are decorated with three groups of gluttonous patterns, but the forms are different, this ivory cup, using relief, line carving, inlay and other techniques, is a rare artistic treasure. ”

With the items on display, the auctioneer said more this time, and it seems that this thing is indeed a treasure.

"How did this go abroad?" At this time, Mo Ye noticed the abnormality of Zhou Weiqiang beside him.

"Do you know where this thing came from?" Mo Xie asked curiously.

"This is something excavated from the tomb of the good woman of Yinxu in the Shang Dynasty, and it is very famous." Zhou Weiqiang said.

Mo Ye searched for the information of this ivory cup, and sure enough, this thing was even more famous than he imagined.

Mo Ye swept this ivory cup, it is indeed a thing of the Shang Dynasty, so to speak, this is really something unearthed from the tomb of the woman, if this is the case, the matter will be interesting.

Nuhao is not only the spouse of the Shang king Wuding, but also a general who can fight well, and the tomb of Nuhao is the only one found that can be corroborated with the oracle bone inscription, and the clear identity of the tomb owner is relative to the age of the tomb, and the tomb has not been stolen and excavated.

Although the tomb chamber is not large, it is well preserved, and the burial goods are extremely rich, and a total of 1,928 pieces of cultural relics of different textures such as bronze, jade, gemstone, ivory and so on have been unearthed.

Among them, 468 are bronze, 755 are jade, and 564 are bone; And unearthed 6,800 seashells, the number of burial goods in the tomb of the woman is huge, the variety is rich, perhaps because of this, it will be hidden by someone.

This is a national treasure excavated in 76 years, and such a thing can be lost abroad, which shows how heavy the chaos in China was back then.

Mo Ye has been in the antique market for a long time, and he has heard a lot of legends, such as in the eighties and nineties in China, many things in museums have actually become modern imitations.

Where did the things in the museum come from? It must be an unearthed cultural relic, how can such a thing become a modern high imitation?

In fact, the thing is very simple, it must be that the museum's rats have been replaced by themselves, and the treasures that have been replaced have all been lost abroad, and this one is likely to come out like this.

"Could it be that there were not three but four pieces that were unearthed at that time?" Zhou Weiqiang made a phone call and quickly determined that there was no accident with the domestic treasure, so what happened to this one here?

At that time, three ivory cups were unearthed from the tomb of the woman, two of which were inlaid with turquoise, the carving structure of this treasure ornament is very ingenious, and then inlaid with turquoise is more eye-catching, and ordinary people have no chance to hide one.

So this ivory cup appeared more strangely, if it was really the tomb of the woman unearthed, then the price would be high, but when the tomb of the woman was excavated, archaeologists have verified that the tomb of the woman has never been stolen and excavated.

"Reserve price of $1 million, auction starts now!" The auctioneer waited a lot of time before the offer began.

However, the starting price was only one million dollars, which still surprised Mo Ye.

Mo Ye's gold and silver products were sold at sky-high prices, how could this national treasure-level cultural relic, which has a history of 3,200 years, only have a starting price of one million?

Perhaps seeing Mo Ye's doubts, Zhou Hongbo whispered: "If according to the cultural value, your things can't be compared with this thing, but the transaction price of ivory products in the market has not been high, because ivory products are prohibited from being auctioned in China." ”

"None of this is the point, it should be because this thing is suspicious." Zhou Weiqiang said.

Mo Ye somewhat understood, the transaction record of ivory cups is not high, but this is not an ordinary ivory cup, and not all ivory products are at a low price.

There are many good things in the ivory products, such as the ivory carving Guanyin in the Ming Dynasty was auctioned for 17.92 million, the ivory carving and lacquer plum blossom pen holder in the Qing Dynasty was 12.1275 million, and the ivory carving Guanyin in Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty was 33.136 million.

In this way, the reserve price of this Shang Dynasty inlaid turquoise ivory cup is too low, one million US dollars is less than seven million yuan, but who made its identity unknown?

"Two million dollars!" As soon as the auction began, someone doubled the price, and it seems that the ivory cup is seriously undervalued.

"Two and a half million!"

"Three million!"

The ivory cup was very sought after, so the price quickly soared, and in just a moment, it reached 11.8 million.

At this time, it has risen weakly, and it seems that the price is like this.

Sure enough, when the price rose to $12 million, there was no one to compete.

After all, the origin of this thing is unknown, and the biggest possibility is that it is a fake, so it has taken a lot of risk to auction it at this price, if it weren't for the fact that there are many local tycoons here, this thing would definitely not be auctioned at this price.

In the end, this ivory cup fell into the hands of Liang Qiping, the king of Balinese bird's nest, and for the Liang family, who controls 70% of the bird's nest market in Southeast Asia, even if it is an eye, it has no impact at all.

The next lot is the Twelve Gold Album, which records some of the Ming Dynasty harem and the Daxi Palace, which is very valuable for research, but this thing is similar to the ivory cup, and it is also a popular thing, so the transaction price is not high.

However, with Mo Ye in it, the price was set off, and in the end, it was sold at a high price of 15 million US dollars, of course, this was auctioned by Mo Ye himself.

The auctioneer gave a detailed account of the excavation and identification process of the two jade seals, and finally gave a reserve price of $48 million.

"I didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong's jade seal to be unearthed, so Zhang Xianzhong's treasure was really revealed?"

"Impossible, who has the strength to get those treasures abroad now?"

"I heard that these two jade seals are from the Sun family."

"Which Sun family?"

"The ancestors of the Sun family, who were the governors of Sichuan Mansion, otherwise how could they get these two jade seals?"

"So that's the case, this makes sense, the governor of Sichuan back then, but countless gold, silver and jewelry were salvaged from the Minjiang River, but I didn't expect them to hide two jade seals!"

"This thing is a treasure to suppress luck, it seems that the Sun family is really in decline."

"Since it is a treasure to suppress luck, how could the Sun family decline? I think that's an exaggeration. ”

"Then don't make a move later, I'm watching you, I hope you don't make a villain."

"When did I say I didn't like these two jade seals? I'm just sorry for the Sun family, I didn't expect that the heirloom jade seal would also be taken out for auction! ”

"What's so strange about that? The jade seals of Qianlong and Kangxi are often auctioned. ”

"Can that be the same? Qianlong and Kangxi's heirloom jade seals have been auctioned? What appeared in the auction hall was only a personal private seal, so it was also regarded as a national jade seal? ”

"Yes! How can those things be compared to the heirloom jade seal? ”

"It's a pity that the national fortunes of the Great West Country are a little weaker!"

"If this is not the case, how can these two heirloom jade seals end up among the people?"

After the auction began, the scene was not very hot, but a round of sounds, listening to these discussions, Mo Ye's face was a little weird.

It seems that he is still shallow, although he knows that the value of these two jade seals is not low, but he really didn't think of any heirloom jade seals.

"It seems that many people here like these two treasures, so our Jian family will pay a price first, 1.6 billion US dollars, I think, this price should be worthy of these two treasures." Jian Chenglin stood up first and directly made a sky-high price.

The Qianlong jade seal that was auctioned not long ago only fetched a price of 160 million yuan, but now, just the first bidding, the price of these two jade seals has increased by six or seven times.

"These are two jade seals, 1600 million is too petty, and our Cai family will pay 320 million US dollars." Cai Yongdao stood up and glanced at the Jane brothers, with a look of disdain, an outburst is an outbreak, and he was born with a small family spirit.

The Jane brothers' faces turned yellow from anger, but they still endured it without bidding, not because they were afraid, but because they firmly believed that the Cai family would soon be slapped in the face.

You must know that this is a jade seal of the country, even if it can't suppress the fortune of a country, but it is still possible to suppress the luck of a family.

Even if this thing doesn't have those ethereal legends, it is still a treasure that can be passed down to the family.

With this thing at home, the family will be full of confidence for generations, and what they do will add some self-confidence.

Because there are two sky-high treasures in the family, even if they fail for a while, the clansmen will believe that there will definitely be a comeback.

Really calculated, this is also a kind of luck, buying them, naturally adds a lot of invisible, invisible, intangible, but real benefits.
