Lin Tian came to auction things, and he talked well, and after checking the safety of the box, the bodyguard at the gate let him go. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The leading bodyguard personally led him into the treasure shop, and the two walked through the garden into the reception room of a small three-story building.
"Sir, please wait here for a while, and I'll go to the shopkeeper." The bodyguard told him to wait in the reception room, dropped the sentence and left.
After a while, a little old man in his fifties, wearing a royal blue cardigan coat and glasses under a wine bottle, walked into the reception room.
The little old man's dress and demeanor were very similar to the old pedants of the old society, and he still had a goatee on his chin.
Although this kind of costume was a bit weird, Lin Tian could see that this old man was a master of the antique world at a glance.
After entering the door, the little old man saluted Lin Tian with a fist and said hello.
"Welcome, welcome, I'm the shopkeeper of Jumbo Shop, I don't know what this gentleman is called?"
Lin Tian didn't get up, sat on the mahogany chair with a big thorn, nodded at him, and said in Mandarin with a northern accent: "Shopkeeper Li is polite, don't be surnamed Lin." ”
"Oh, Mr. Lin." Li Tong smiled, sat down opposite Lin Tian, and talked seemingly casually.
He never mentioned the matter of "national treasure" antiques, so he chatted with Lin Tian about some gossip.
This is the practice of the treasure shop, there is an unfamiliar source of goods, the shopkeeper has to plate a plate of fine bottom, touch the way.
Since Lin Tian had the decathlon, he was also a master of the antique industry, and all kinds of ways were clear, of course he knew Li Tong's intentions.
He looked indifferent and calm, and his answers to questions were also very skillful, which not only let Li Tong know that he was an expert, but also couldn't figure out his details, so he didn't dare to despise him.
Li interrogated for a while, but he didn't come up with a result, so he went straight to the point, wanting to see the goods brought by Lin Tian.
Lin Tian opened the lockbox and took out a small cardboard box.
There was a white silk cloth in the cardboard box, wrapped in an antique, somewhat old black inkstone.
Seeing the packaging of the carton and silk cloth, Li Tong was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little strange, and he thought to himself: "Won't it?" How can any precious antique be packaged with this thing? ”
At least he's been in the business for decades, and he's never seen such a casual packaging of antiques.
At the very least, you have to get a sandalwood box and put it on brocade or something.
In fact, these three antiques were originally packed in sandalwood boxes, but they were all thrown away by Lin Tian and replaced with new packaging.
He did this to prevent anyone from starting to investigate from the three sandalwood boxes, in case any clues were found......
Lin Tian pretended not to see Li Tong's strange expression, and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture.
"This inkstone, please also ask Shopkeeper Li to give the palm eye."
Li Tong glanced at it patiently, and then his expression softened, and he frowned and observed carefully.
Ten seconds later, with a look of surprise, he lifted the frame of his glasses, and leaned closer to see it more seriously.
"Is it a natural Kui Xing Shadow Stone inkstone? Look at this font pattern, it looks like an object from the Ming Dynasty...... Well, it should be during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Yes, yes, it's a good baby. However, Mr. Lin, although this Fang Kui Star Shadow Stone is precious, it definitely can't afford the word 'national treasure'. ”
Lin Tian smiled and said in a calm tone: "Then please ask Shopkeeper Li to take a look at the inscription and seal at the bottom of the inkstone." ”
Li Tong was suddenly curious, carefully holding the inkstone, staring at the blurred handwriting and seal at the bottom, carefully observing for a while, and suddenly his face changed greatly.
"An inkstone flowing from the royal family? This is...... Emperor Zhengde, the inkstone of Zhu Houzhao of Ming Wuzong? ”
Lin Tian smiled slightly and nodded.
Li Tong was shocked at that time, his eyes widened, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, "National treasure, it really can be called a national treasure!" ”
The value of antiques is not in the object itself, but more in the additional cultural and historical value.
For example, it is also two calligraphy of the Jin Dynasty, one is the calligraphy of the sage Wang Xizhi, and the other is the calligraphy of the unknown Xiucai, can the value be the same?
The former must be a national treasure-level antique, while the latter can only be regarded as a high-quality antique at best, and it is good to be able to sell for millions.
And this Fang Kui Star Shadow Stone Inkstone is also the same reason.
If it was used by an ordinary scholar in the Ming Dynasty, it would be too ordinary for Li Tong.
But this is the imperial inkstone of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde, and the meaning is extraordinary!
Li Tong was a little excited, and asked Lin Tian with an expectant face: "Mr. Lin, what about the other two 'national treasures'?" Can you show me? ”
Lin Tian took out two more cartons, one long and one square.
Seeing this strange packaging method, Li Tong frowned again.
However, when Lin Tian opened the carton and untied the white silk cloth, Li Tong's face changed drastically, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.
After a while, he raised his head in shock, and exclaimed incredibly: "Painting the "Immediately Map" of the Holy Wu Daozi and the royal jade of the Song Huizong? ”
Lin Tian nodded, and told him the origin of the Yunuer bracelet and the allusion to "Immediately Map".
Li was shocked and excited after hearing this, and even said to him: "Mr. Lin, if these three treasures are all genuine, they will definitely shock the antique world, and they can really be called national treasures!" ”
"However, I would like to ask Mr. Lin to rest in the upstairs guest room for a day, and I will ask the masters of the bank to identify and value these three objects."
"Okay." Lin Tian knew that this was the rule of the treasure shop, so he went upstairs with the waiter and went to the guest room to rest.
On the other side, Li Tong had returned to the study and reported the situation in detail to the boss behind the scenes.
The boss behind the scenes ordered on the spot to dispatch experts and masters from the other two branches to immediately rush to Jiangdu Treasure Store to jointly identify and evaluate these three national treasures.
At about half past two in the afternoon, six middle-aged men and women with extraordinary bearing entered the treasure shop under the escort of bodyguards.
These six people are the masters of the Treasure Shop, who have come by plane from other provinces to help.
In the afternoon, the eight masters of the treasure shop were all busy in the underground secret room, appraising the three treasures brought by Lin Tian.
With their profound knowledge and experience, unique vision and insight, they even used advanced high-tech instruments to repeatedly screen and identify.
As a result, the eight masters unanimously agreed that these three antiques are absolutely genuine, and they are really national treasures!
Everyone was shocked!
Several experts and masters all let out incredible amazements.
Everyone looked at Li Tong with envy on their faces, and teased him one after another.
"Lao Li, you are really lucky to **** this time, and you actually picked up the treasure."
"yes, I picked up three of them at once! If it can be auctioned off this time, Lao Li Guang will get tens of millions of dividends, right? ”
"Damn, if we hadn't had rules for not harassing customers and inquiring about the details of our customers, I would have wanted to go to that Mr. Lin now and find a few more treasures."
"Hey, what did you say that Mr. Lin from the north do? Why is it so mysterious? I have the impression that there is no such person among my peers in the north. ”
The secret room was very lively, and the eight experts and masters were all talking to each other.
They were not only amazed and shocked by the three 'national treasures', but also had a strong curiosity about Lin Tian's identity.
It's just that none of them dare to break the rules and harass Lin Tian, let alone really investigate and find out Lin Tian's identity.
