Chapter 109: Two volumes are missing
Qin Lao was in such a hurry, making Tang Yi and Mao look at each other face to face.
"Is it possible that these seventh and eighth volumes are still special editions? Or is it a misprint that makes it particularly precious? Mao said in a low voice.
Tang Yi glanced at him, "You think this is stamps and banknotes, this is engraving printing, one edition at a moment, if there is a mistake, it will be discovered a long time ago, and it will not wait for the binding into a book." If there is anything particularly valuable, it may be someone's book stamp. β
"There are a few celebrities in the book collection, but everyone like Qin Lao doesn't need to check the information!" Mao said.
"Maybe some of the seals have aliases, we don't recognize themγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Tang Yizheng said, only to see Qin Lao hurriedly walk out of the study, and hurriedly made a silent gesture.
In his hand, Qin Lao was holding a copy of the newly published "Song Carving Book Examination".
"Look!" Qin Lao opened one of the pages, and the picture on it was "Mr. Donglai's Poetry Collection". According to the following text introduction, there are indeed two versions of "Mr. Donglai's Poetry Collection", one is the Huang Rujia engraving in the collection of the National Library of China, and the other is naturally this Shen Gongya engraving.
But the next text made Tang Yi and Mao Zhu's mouths closed, and the known collection place of Shen Gongya's carved book turned out to be the Imperial Cabinet Library!
The most important thing is that the "Poetry Collection of Mr. Donglai" engraved by Shen Gongya in the Cabinet Library of the Japanese Republic is the only one missing these two volumes!
Volumes 7 & 8!
Shen Gongya's engraved book of a complete set of "Mr. Donglai's Poetry Collection", a total of 20 volumes, the Japanese cabinet library can collect 18 of them, which is already very rare. However, the value of these eighteen volumes, and the value of a whole set, is still a world of difference.
No one thought that this antique-obsessed son of Han Dachang, the overseer of Shanhai Province, would actually collect two volumes, and they happened to be these two volumes that were missing in the cabinet library of the Japanese Dynasty!
"Elder Qin, if this complete set of poems is complete, how much should the market value be?" Mao Zhu couldn't help asking.
"The market value is really difficult to estimate, but I think it should be calculated in 100 million yuan." Qin Lao said, "Song carvings are too rare, and complete sets are even rarer. β
"Emma, isn't the Japanese people willing to give out tens of millions of these two volumes?" Mao shouted.
"It's not a matter of tens of millions. The significance of making up a complete set of Song engravings is much greater than the market value, not to mention the lack of volumes in the cabinet library. So, they will definitely do whatever it takes! Qin Lao sighed, "Tang Yi, Tang Yi, what you have on you is an endless treasure!" β
"Endless Treasure Fateγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Qin Lao, how do I think it's endless trouble!" Tang Yi smiled bitterly.
When Qin Lao heard this, he glanced at Tang Yi again, "You feel that there is endless trouble because you don't want to sell to the Japanese people." If he sells it directly to Konodaira, he will definitely take it away at a high price, not only will it not be troublesome, but he will also make a fortune. Tang Yi, you don't want such rare books to flow out of the country, now in addition to staying by your side, you are afraid that whoever you sell it to may eventually flow out, right? β
"That's what I thought. Is it a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder? Tang Yi laughed at himself.
"I'm not wrong, it's not obsessive-compulsive, I think this baby is too special! Then don't leak the news, and don't let Konohira know that you have these two volumes of poetry! Qin Lao's voice was much slower, "Otherwise, they will definitely go to great lengths to get these two volumes of poems, if you don't want to make a move, then you are likely to face endless trouble!" β
"Old Qin, don't you know, these two volumes of poetry collections, I only keep them for the time being, and they can be regarded as having the right of first refusal, but after all, they are not my things." Tang Yi took a long breath and finally told the truth.
"Now, you're even more reluctant to give it back." Qin Lao smiled.
"It's not that simple. Old Qin, don't you know, in this owner's house, a group of turtle grandsons are thinking about exchanging things from the house for money all day long. Tang Yi hesitated and said, "This matter is indeed a troublesome matter, if I return it, to be honest, I am even more worried." β
"You said that you are so young, why do you have so many thoughts about the country and the people!" Mao Chai began to pout again, "Old Qin, tell me, what should I do with these two volumes of poetry?" β
"Actually, it's not difficult to deal with this matter, you just collected these two volumes of poetry, kept them, and didn't leak the news. But listening to what you mean, it seems that you don't want the owner of the goods to suffer, so it also involves a certain amount of financial problems, is this the case? Elder Qin asked Tang Yi.
"Not exactly. Ge Baoduo had previously received some funds, and he took out tens of millions of funds to win these two volumes of poetry, and he could still do it. However, it is not possible to open the door to do business without leaving enough liquidity on the books; The most important thing is that if I get in or out of any good thing, I don't want to get out, so the financial pressure will be great. Tang Yi said bluntly.
"The water in this antique shop is too deep, if you want to prevent the owner from suffering, then you can only suffer yourself. Is this owner your relative or friend? Elder Qin asked again.
"Not really." Tang Yi said and introduced the old lady's situation.
"No wonder!" Qin Lao nodded and said, "I know this person, that is a real great collector, and it is not strange to take out these two volumes of poetry from his house." The old couple has been through ups and downs all their lives, and it is indeed not easy. β
"A while ago, I went to Ruizhou Jade Gongpan and took down a piece of glass imperial green rough stone, although this thing is not easy to touch, but after all, it is just jewelry, under the trade-off, I am thinking, after winning these two volumes of poetry, this piece of rough stone will be released, there will be no financial pressure." Tang Yi also said this idea.
"That's fine. Although the glass imperial green is expensive, as long as there is money, it is not difficult to find, but this Song carving is hard to find. In this way, if you decide, I can help you contact Lin's Jewelry, and then it will be according to the market price. Qin Lao pondered for a moment and nodded.
"That's good. I'll go back and think about it, and if it's decided, I'll contact you! Tang Yi said and got up, "Then don't bother you too much, I should also leave." β
When sending them out of the living room, Qin Lao suddenly smiled slightly and patted Tang Yi's shoulder, "This child is my favorite child among my grandchildren, but he is more clever and less steady, I see that you are young and old, and I will communicate with her more in the future, so that she can absorb your advantages." β
When Tang Yi heard this, he thought to himself, Old Qin, did he know? "Old Qin, I have communicated a lot with Wan Tingγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"Hahahaha." Elder Qin laughed, "She has been mentioning you a lot lately. I don't ask much about you young people! β
"It seems that Qin Lao acquiesced!" Tang Yi felt a burst of joy in his heart, and nodded to let Qin Lao stay.
Walking out of Qin Lao's villa, Mao Chai looked at Tang Yi with a happy face, and was just about to tease a few words, when the mobile phone rang, he took it out and saw that it was the owner of these two volumes of poetry - the old lady of the Han family called.
