"Boss, I've investigated that the meteorite market is not just Haig alone, there is also a merchant named Lewis who is also a big buyer, you see?"

"The more the merrier, the area of this sinkhole should be very huge, one person will definitely not be able to eat, and everyone who can be notified will be notified. Take a small piece and send it to them, inspect the goods before negotiating. ”

Wu Tianyuan leaned on the sofa, drank the good wine treasured in his ranch wine cellar, and said with a comfortable face: "Don't underestimate these black treasures, even NASA may be interested!" After all, there is a huge scientific value, and if something new is discovered, how powerful it is. ”

Less than a day after the news spread, Dr. Haig came to Wu Tianyuan in a hurry, and after seeing the huge sinkhole, he was very excited.

"Dear Wu, I swear this is the biggest crater I've ever seen in my life, the biggest!"

Wu Tianyuan smiled: "Doctor, you are not yet fifty years old, it is a bit early to say that this life is a bit early, right?" ”

"Nope! If you don't know the rarity of meteorites, there will be no more than diamonds, and people will regret it if they don't realize their true value now! “

Haig obsessively studied a dug meteorite, measured the parameters with various strange instruments, and finally excitedly said, "Let's talk about trading!" ”

"No problem, whether it's money or antiques, you can trade, but I only accept genuine Yuan Dynasty antiques, do you understand the Yuan Dynasty?"

Haig laughed and said, "You underestimate me too much, a doctor! I have a few Yuan Dynasty porcelains that I bought from the auction house in the early years, but I heard that the pigments used by your emperor back then had meteorite components in them, so I bought them for research. ”

"Su Ma Liqing?"

Wu Tianyuan's heart moved, don't say that this is really possible! Su Ma Liqing, also known as Su Ni Ma Qing, referred to as "Su material". The origin of the name is a transliteration of the Persian word "Suleiman". The cobalt material is produced in the village of Quamsa in the Boska Mountains, and the villagers believe that a man named Suleiman discovered the cobalt material, hence the name of the material. Another theory is that Su Ni Ma Qing should be Su Ma Liqing, which is the transliteration of English smalt, which means a kind of blue glass.

Su Ma Liqing belongs to the low manganese iron iron cobalt material, the blue and white color is thick and verdant, and the color is stable, because Su Ma is high in iron and low in manganese, and it shows a sapphire-like bright color under the appropriate fire firing, and there will also be silver-black ferric oxide crystal spots, that is, "rust marks", commonly known as "tin light". The blue and white porcelain of Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty was mostly used to draw flower branches and leaves, and after the Ming Dynasty, it was gradually replaced by Huiqing.

Now the reason why Yuan Qinghua is mysterious and rare is because of the preciousness of Su Ma Liqing, and the blue and purple hair color is also its most charming.

"That's better, the sinkhole is there, you can study it and give me an offer as soon as possible."

Haig was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "You guys?" ”

Wu Tianyuan said with a smile: "You can't just find one in the negotiation, right?" Lewis is also on the way, arriving tomorrow. This sinkhole is huge, can the doctor take it alone? ”

"This ......"

The doctor had a headache, he naturally wanted to swallow this once-in-a-century treasure alone, but he also knew that it was impossible, neither he nor Lewis had the ability to buy it alone.

"Doctor, although I am not a professional collector of meteorites, I am also an expert in the collecting circle, so I don't need to explain the value of this sinkhole, right?"

Wu Tianyuan asked Wang Hong to find an expert to assess that the most conservative estimate of this meteorite crater is 150 million US dollars! The amount found so far alone is no less than $100 million, which is definitely an astronomical amount.

"Dear Wu, I've heard of your reputation for a long time, so let's wait for Lewis to discuss it together and see if we can make a joint acquisition?"

Haig immediately retreated and proposed a joint acquisition, the Americans do not have the so-called face, and if they have interests, they can become collaborators. Lewis is a big businessman, and his funds are stronger than him, but Wu Tianyuan also asks for genuine products from the Yuan Dynasty, and he happens to have a few pieces in his hands, and the two of them should be able to win this huge treasure together.

Wu Tianyuan doesn't care, he is not interested in meteorites, he has been spending a lot of money recently, and it is good to return to the capital. Lewis arrives at the ranch in the evening, and the two discuss how to work together to acquire the sinkhole overnight.

"Do you have a Yuan Qinghua character jar in your hand?"

Wu Tianyuan was a little surprised: "There is also a red dragon pattern lid jar in the Yuan glaze?" ”

The survival of Yuan Qinghua has always been a mystery, some say 400 pieces, others say 300 pieces. The Yuan blue and white jars painted with the stories of the characters are only known to be handed down to the world.

Guigu descended the mountain, originally from a historical story of "Warring States Policy", which is about the Warring States Period, Yan and Qi were at war, and Sun Bin, who served Qi State, was captured by the enemy, and his master Guiguzi went to the rescue and led everyone down the mountain.

On July 12, 2005, in the "Chinese Porcelain and Works of Art" auction held in Jiashide, London, a Yuan blue and white figure jar was sold at a price of 14 million pounds, equivalent to more than 230 million yuan, which is the highest price of Chinese porcelain. The collector is none other than the famous Ullens, one of the largest art speculators in the West.

The blue and white pattern painted by this jar using imported cobalt material is divided into four layers, the first layer of neck: decorated with water ripples; The second layer of shoulders: decorated with entwined peonies; The third layer of abdomen: ornamented for the theme of "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain"; The lower part of the fourth layer: it is a deformed lotus petal pattern painted with Chenbao, commonly known as "eight big yards".

The "blue and white jar" of the West Chamber is now in a private collection in Asia.

Yuan Qinghua is already rare in the world, and character jars are even rarer, there are no more than five in private hands, and even Tianmin Lou Ge Lao does not have a character jar.

"This is my secret collection, you must know its preciousness, and there are no more than twenty Yuan blue and white glaze red lid jars."

Haig felt distressed, this was his most beloved treasure, if it weren't for the greatest opportunity of his life this time, he would never trade it.

"No problem, I can feel Mr. Haig's sincerity, so what are your chips, Mr. Lewis?"

The big fat man Lewis hurriedly answered: "I heard that Mr. Wu likes the genuine products of the Yuan Dynasty, so I asked a friend to find two pieces overnight, one is Huang Gongwang's autumn picture, and there is also a Yuan Dynasty Ji blue glazed white dragon pattern plum vase. ”

"What?"

Wu Tianyuan was even more surprised, the Yuan Dynasty Ji blue glazed white dragon pattern plum bottle! Now there is only one existing Nanjing Museum, which was originally thought to be a peerless one, but there is another one here?

He stabilized his mind, if they were all genuine, these four pieces alone would be worth at least $100 million!

"We're willing to add $50 million, all worth more than $150,000,000, and I'm sure no one else but me and Dr. Haig will be able to pay that price."

Lewis and Haig are confident that the four priceless treasures of the Yuan Dynasty can no longer be measured by money. They had investigated Wu Tianyuan and knew that he had a museum and an obsession with antiques, and this condition was definitely attractive.

"Okay, deal!"
