Chapter 68: Antique Coins (1)

Yun'er asked the eldest sister who changed the clothes of the three of them. Eldest sister: "Don't worry about this, it's not who helped you take off your previous clothes and put them on again." You also know that Master Gan Lin has extraordinary abilities, he doesn't need to do things, he just needs to think about it. If you are wearing Qing Dynasty costumes, men with big braids, and women walking on the bottom of flower pots, others are likely to think that you are filming TV dramas or mentally ill, which will cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, Master Gan Lin asked you to conform to the state of this space, changed your clothes and hairstyles, and when you go back, he will change them back, you can rest assured. ”

Yun'er: "Eldest sister, how can you go out in a costume like Yun'er?" Legs bare. ”

"You guys are pretty conservative to us. Oh, it's very ordinary, very ordinary, you'll know when you go out on the street. You're wearing a very popular pleated skirt, and it's hot in the summer, so you have to wear short-sleeved clothes to cool off. The guy is wearing a T-shirt, which is too ordinary and not eye-catching. Mr. Fu is a shirt and trousers, which looks a little higher than your status, and you will know what to wear in the future. These clothes belong to my daughter and son, and Mr. Fu's clothes are bought separately, and none of our family members have such a good figure as him, and they are not worn by others. ”

The cousin of Sister Han's husband, Professor Zhong, works in a national archaeological research unit and is still an authority on cultural relics. He took a look at the antiques brought by the three princes, and he was very surprised. Mr. Fu's jadeite rough is a very rare fine glass species, with very high purity. From the surface of this rough stone, it can be concluded that it is not the material of the old pit in Myanmar, where the jadeite is produced, and it is impossible to verify the specific place. But judging from the surface wear and tear, it has been away from the place of origin for quite a long time. The shape of this rough stone is very good, conical, large up and down, basically round, so it is very suitable for carving a meditating statue of Guanyin or a seated statue of Maitreya Buddha. If the carving is good, its artistic value and economic value will be higher. The other cultural relics are also genuine works of great archaeological value, and the specific situation has to be tested by instruments. Although these things are very valuable, they do not belong to the national treasure level, and if they are not unearthed cultural relics, they can be traded normally.

Regarding the words of Professor Zhong, the three princes still feel that they understand it very well. Professor Chung had made it clear to him that the excavated artifacts had been dug up from the grave or stolen by tomb robbers.

The prince handed over these things to Mr. Zhong and his cousin, an archaeologist, and asked them to do the transaction on their behalf. This kind of trust is also rare for people here, and there are really people who have a bad conscience who take other people's things and don't admit them in a blink of an eye, and there are also people who are ruined.

A few days later, Mr. Zhong's cousin, Mr. Zhong Ziqi, tested all the cultural relics with high-end instruments. After the test, I told my cousin on the phone that most of the cultural relics brought by Mr. Fu were genuine, and only two ancient paintings were still to be screened, all of which belonged to the treasure-level cultural relics preserved by individuals, and none of them were unearthed cultural relics. In particular, jadeite stones, two pieces of porcelain from the Song Dynasty and the thin gold book banners of Huizong of the Song Dynasty can be sold for a good price, and several paintings of the Ming Dynasty are even more valuable. However, it has to be evaluated by multiple experts before the bid can be determined.

Wang Ye and Yun'er are very strange, and the unearthed cultural relics should have been dug up from the tomb. How can you tell the difference between a dug up a grave and a person who has kept it in his hands? Regarding this question, the prince asked Professor Zhong very seriously. Professor Zhong, there is a big difference between these two kinds of cultural relics, the cultural relics buried in the ancient tomb are basically not seen in the air, and the ones that are preserved by individuals are exposed to the air, even if they are tightly wrapped, they are completely different from those in the ancient tombs. There is a big difference in quality. Today's instruments can completely distinguish which cultural relics are unearthed and which are outside the ancient tombs, including the age can be checked. The ownership of the unearthed cultural relics belongs to the state, such as Shang Ding, few of which are kept in the hands of individuals. Yun'er told the prince that the Shang Ding in the family was the treasure they had passed down for more than a hundred lifetimes.

In addition to the first, second and third level protected cultural relics of the state, Professor Zhong is not an unearthed cultural relic, and it is an ancestral legacy, which can be freely traded. But there is income tax, which is one-twentieth of the income. It is too sensational to shoot so many cultural relics at one time, and people are also in danger, so Jian yì first shot jade stone and Song Dynasty official kiln vase. Others will be shot one after another. Mr. Yufuku, who doesn't make a move, keeps it himself, otherwise in case of loss, he won't be able to clear his mouth. This may be their rule, so Mr. Zhong brought back the other cultural relics and handed them over to the prince. The money from the sale of the two pieces left behind was enough to spend for a while, and they were sold too conspicuously.

The prince felt that it made sense. Mr. Zhong told the prince that his cousin was an expert in this area, and he had many reliable friends in this area, all of whom were very rich, and billionaires were too common, and he was not a person with tens of billions of assets. There are not only domestic people, but also overseas ones. He also told the prince that his cousin has a very good character, and his appraisal level belongs to the special master, and his things are real, no matter how many people you find and how many high-end instruments you use, they are also true; He is a fake, and the same is true. And it has never been blinded, so many people who play antiques ask their disciples to find connections, and they want to ask Professor Zhong to make a decision.

In view of the master's trust in the eldest sister, the prince believed in Mr. Zhong's words very much, and handed over the matter of selling antiques to Professor Zhong. Professor Zhong is very expert in the identification of antiques, and Professor Zhong is also very grateful to Mr. Fu for his high trust in him, and he has entrusted himself with the appreciation and screening of every precious cultural relic, I have never seen such a sincere person.

Looking at the solemn attitude of Mr. Zhong and the two brothers, the three princes knew that the antiques they brought must be valuable. I am very grateful to Mr. Zhong and praise him for being a high-level person. not

Professor Zhong is in his 40s, gentle and elegant, neither humble nor arrogant, and has a scholarly demeanor. The prince only saw him once and decided that this person was credible and reliable. In fact, the prince didn't know that this Professor Zhong was a very affectionate person. He was the youngest son of Mr. Zhong's uncle, and during the special period, his parents were beaten as "academic authorities, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods" and imprisoned in the cowshed, and both were persecuted to death in 69, when Professor Zhong was only four years old. He has an older brother and an older sister, both of whom are much older than him, his brother has just gotten married, and his sister-in-law resolutely does not want this cumbersome uncle who can only eat but not work, and his sister cannot take care of him when he goes to the mountains and the countryside. If no one cares about him, he will live on the streets or become bad, Mr. Zhong and his wife Sister Han took this younger brother to their side without saying a word, and then the special period ended, and he went to college and was admitted to graduate school.

For the eldest brother and sister-in-law, who are nearly 20 years apart, Professor Zhong has always been grateful to Dade, and without their help, he would not be where Zhong Ziqi is today. Especially sister-in-law Han Mei, she is really better than her mother. At that time, the wages of their husband and wife were not high, and they saved more money than their own children for their uncle's education. It's really "the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother", but this eldest sister-in-law is a cousin-in-law!

He listened to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Mr. Fu is the cousin of the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law's family is his own relatives, so he must do his best to help! Generally speaking, Professor Chung helps private individuals to identify cultural relics, and the owners of cultural relics have "representations". Professor Chung is not shy about receiving remuneration. After all, he had to use his own personal equipment and consult a lot of information, which took a lot of brain, time and financial resources. But there is absolutely no remuneration for the troublesome inspection of the prince's antiques.

Before selling the artifacts, he conducted a series of legal consultations and conducted legal transactions without breaking the law. Many of his friends, based on their integrity in his character, asked him to appraise or ask him to help find buyers, because he was very reliable and generous to the buyers who came to him. There is no bargaining that people can't afford it.

Mr. Chung is a wise man, with not only a strong knowledge of archaeology in the industry, but also experience in many aspects such as gold and stone calligraphy and painting. Although he is not very old, he is famous. According to the current price of jadeite in the domestic and foreign markets, the price of this jadeite rough stone, which weighs six and a half kilograms and is the most suitable for carving Guanyin statues, is 300 million yuan. Also sold was a blue and white porcelain vase from the Ruguan kiln of the Song Dynasty priced at 80 million yuan, and the value of the two cultural relics was 380 million yuan.

According to the ratio of RMB and silver here, the prince roughly calculated that the two antiques were worth 1.9 million taels of silver. In order to thank Professor Zhong, Wang Ye discussed with Mr. Zhong and gave Professor Zhong a certain remuneration. Mr. Zhong smiled: "If Mr. Fu's kindness is appreciated, the remuneration will be waived." My brother is also one of our classmates, and he is lucky to have the opportunity to help you. You treat him to a light meal, thank him and you're all there is to it. Whisper to you that he is rich. ”

That's it. At the dinner table, the prince expressed his gratitude to Professor Zhong very sincerely with a drink instead of wine, and Professor Zhong was very modest: "No need, depending on the age, the two of us are about the same, I don't know how much Mr. Fu is Guigeng?" ”

"Fu is forty-four years old."

"Let's be the same Geng, I'm December birthday, I must be a brother, just respect you brother. You've got a pretty good temperament. ”

"You've won a prize. I'll leave the matter to you. ”

"Don't worry, you are the younger brother of my sister-in-law and my relative, I will do my best to help you."

"Thank you, thank you."

"Your stone is too rare, you can see the texture of the whole stone from the exposed part of the surface, and you can determine that it is a jadeite glass species without much strict identification, this kind of jadeite is becoming less and less, even in Myanmar Laokeng it is difficult to have such a large piece of jadeite. The shape is also very good, and it can be carved into a statue of Guanyin. I have a friend who runs a company in the south, and he has been saying hello to me for a long time, and if there is a good quality jadeite, no matter how high the price, the first one must sue him first. So I had already talked to him, and he was so happy that he couldn't even hold the phone, so he flew to Beijing after arranging the matter at hand.

Sure enough, the next day, the president flew in from Zhuhai. When I saw the jadeite rough, I was so satisfied that I couldn't hold my saliva. This kind of jadeite is so rare that he didn't even ask for the price, and he also wanted the blue and white porcelain vase of Ruguan kiln, so these two things cost 380 million! To him just reduced a number on the bank card. Professor Zhong asked the president very heartily if he wanted Song Huizong's calligraphy and paintings, and the president's eyes became searchlights, and he kept shooting on Professor Zhong's body for a long time, forgetting his reserve and demeanor, and shouted: "Take it out!" ”

The price of a thin gold book banner by Song Huizong was set at 60 million, and the president got it without blinking his eyes. The total price of the three cultural relics is 440 million yuan, the eldest sister's godson Yan SΓΉ Yan helped to pay 20 percent of the income tax of 88 million yuan, and the net income of Yun'er and the three of them is 368 million yuan.

In this way, the huge amount of more than 300 million yuan was used to open four bank cards in the names of the eldest sister, Mr. Zhong, Lan Lan, and Li Rui, and entered their accounts, because the three of them did not have ID cards and could not apply for bank cards.

More than 100 million yuan has been saved in a card, and the three princes think it is an astronomical amount, even the eldest sister also muttered in her heart as if she was in a dream. However, Mr. Zhong told them that there were tens of billions of transactions from Professor Zhong. What to do is clear, what legal procedures, what notarization procedures, anyway, it will not violate the laws of the country.

Mr. Zhong told the prince: "Your jadeite stone does not belong to the national cultural relics, nor does it belong to the unearthed cultural relics, it is something that you personally preserve, and it is a valuable treasure that is allowed to be traded freely by the laws of the country." Your Ruguan kiln porcelain and thin gold books are personally preserved, not unearthed, and can be traded freely. Moreover, he received legal advice from Mr. Yan SΓΉ Yan, who has a formal lawyer's license. The president who bought your cultural relics is purely a personal collection, and the money and goods are cleared, and the income tax is a lot, so you can collect the money with confidence. ”

The process of hand-to-hand money and hand-to-hand goods was quickly completed, and then the president put a few treasures into a vault and locked them, and put a very ordinary wooden box on the outside, and went to the airport under the protection of four bodyguards. When he goes out, he will be notified of any good things first, or he will not be righteous enough.

Professor Zhong: "It's not mine, it's my sister-in-law's cousin." ”

"Relative, why aren't you early? I can give one more sooner. I don't know if Mr. Fu still has it in his hand, if there is, I still want it, it's not that I buy it, it's my uncle who wants to buy genuine cultural relics, and this kind of thing appreciates very quickly. ”

Professor Zhong didn't dare to do it, for fear of getting into trouble, so he said, "I'll ask you again." ”

"If you have one, keep it for me." The president is so bold and looks very rich. He: "My brother-in-law is richer than me, and he specializes in touching what others don't have, and his verbal saying is: as long as things are real, they are not bad for money." So Professor Zhong bothered to touch a good thing. He just likes things that are out of the ordinary. He is the first generation to engage in real estate, and he has made enough money to do it, and he is looking for treasures all over the world. ”

"Okay, I'll help you ask."

With this first pot of gold, the rest is not in a hurry.
