The president hurriedly stopped his brother-in-law: "Big brother, you are too anxious, the things in people's hands are precious cultural relics, not cabbage!" "This president has some elegant demeanor, how can he have such a strong brother-in-law?

Professor Xiao Zhong and Wang Ye quickly exchanged a look, and Wang Ye understood what he meant, and took out the clay pot that looked like a pen wash. The president's brother-in-law was immediately unhappy: "What kind of thing is this?" It looks like a clay pot made of black clay and pickled vegetables, right? Can this thing be a house? ”

The prince hurriedly put it away, and put two small boxes that were not much bigger than his fists on the table. My brother-in-law was dissatisfied again: "What kind of family is this?" ”

"This is Shang Yi, the Yi Zun of the Shang Dynasty."

"Shang Yi is a god horse? It's ugly, is there anything else? "The brother-in-law didn't take Shang Yi seriously at all, and he didn't know the bronzes in front of him!

"There are two more paintings here......"

"This is an ancient painting? Why does it seem to be smoked in the stove pit? That's too old, right? ”

"Didn't you say you wanted ancient paintings?" Professor Xiao Zhong asked. I don't know what the old paintings in the president's mind look like. ”

"I want Zhang Daqian's ink-splashed landscape, Qi Baishi's prawns, Xu Beihong's galloping horse, you don't have any?" This is an awesome mallet, Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi, and Xu Beihong are good at painting, can it be called an ancient painting?

Professor Xiao Zhong didn't want to sell the prince's things to him, so he said, "That's all there is to it." ”

"Forget it if you don't, the bull fork is blowing too loudly, it's boring, and it's gone!"

Professor Xiao Zhong? What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes straight? Don't you want to sell your antiques to Mr. Dai? Don't be like him. ”

"I'm so excited, you actually have Shang Yi in your hands! In this way, you leave the artifact behind, and I will examine it immediately. Professor Zhong also forgot to get angry with the president's brother-in-law.

Only then did the prince remember that he had forgotten one, that is, the lacquerware that was said to have been used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. I also immediately brought it to Professor Xiao Zhong for examination.

Professor Xiao Zhong looked at the few rare treasures in front of him, he didn't know what to say, he kept rubbing his hands and smirking.

Professor Xiao Zhong did not dare to "speak the words of one family" about these important cultural relics, and found many cultural relics appreciation experts in Beijing to jointly identify them, so that they could be authoritative and credible.

More than a dozen top cultural relics connoisseurs in Beijing were invited by Mr. Xiao Zhong. As soon as they heard that there was a painting that might be Wu Daozi, their heads were sharpened. After more than one repeated testing and repeated demonstration, different high-end testing instruments were used, and the final clapper was genuine! It was painted by Wu Daozi himself, plus several other cultural relics, and it took more than ten days to complete the inspection. Mr. Xiao Zhong said that he would not let them alarm the media, and they all agreed. After seven or eight days, the price was notified to the prince.

Qiu Ying's sketch painting is 20 million; Tang Bohu's fan is 30 million; Shang Yi 300 million; There is also the lacquerware of the Han Dynasty, which cannot be verified whether it was used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the price is six million. There is also the clay pot, which is being inspected and the price has not yet been determined.

The prince privately thinks that it is difficult to say whether the clay pot is a cultural relic, and it cannot be sold for money.

When the prince told Yun'er about this result, Yun'er seemed to be in a dream: "Isn't it? Qiu Ying and Tang Yin are from the Ming Dynasty, so close to the Qing Dynasty, a sketch and a fan are worth all this money? Even if Shang Yi is old, it has been rusted very thinly, and it can't have a sky-high price of 300 million in any case! ”

Professor Xiao Zhong said that those experts told him that the paintings of the Ming Dynasty, like Qiu Ying, Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming and other Ming Dynasty painters, the price of their paintings far exceeded those of the previous era. Many paintings are collected in the palace, and in Taiwan, there are tens of billions of high prices that have been auctioned. These two are not documented paintings, otherwise they might be worth more. But it was indeed they who painted it. If you take out those paintings in the palace and put them up for auction, each piece will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And that Shang Yi, which is very scarce. If it is an unearthed artifact and there is no air in the tomb, it will not be so badly corroded, and it will be worth more money. However, the excavated cultural relics cannot be preserved in the hands of individuals. At first glance, the experts looked at the bronzes, which had been exposed to the air for thousands of years, and were completely the private property of individuals. If it is used to worship ancestors, it will be more valuable, but unfortunately it can only be a rouge box used by a prince and queen. ”

"You're fine, there's a lot of jargon!" Yun'er teased the prince.

Just when Professor Xiao Zhong and Wang Ye were waiting for the experts to appraise the ancient paintings and identify the clay pots, the president from the south and his brother-in-law killed back and forth.

As soon as the brother-in-law entered the house, he made a lot of noise: "I said Zhong Ziqi, are you a friend enough?" Earlier, you said that your relative's cultural relics can be used as treasures of the town's house, so I came. I don't know if you see that I am not well dressed or have a bad temper, and I got a few little potato-like things and a few old and blackened broken paintings to confuse me. Let me tell you, I have a relative of a cultural relics connoisseur, who is one of you who appreciates cultural relics, and he told me that your cultural relics are worth hundreds of millions. Trick me, huh? Take out the real thing, say a price, and I'll pay your old man immediately! ”

This person is a completely conceptual confusion character.

"I mean, sir, are you turning down your volume? Are you afraid that others won't trouble us? Or are we afraid that we will live too nourishingly? How dare we compare to you? You are a billionaire, we are a small people, but our lives are not cheaper than yours, you should raise your arms and let us pass? "Professor Xiao Zhong is quite unhappy, how can this person not care about other people's lives or deaths?

"I'm sorry, when I was the contractor, I was used to shouting with workers on the construction site, and this problem has not been changed, I'm sorry, I'll review. Sell me your artifacts, I'll take them. After so many expert appraisals, the price is so high, it must be genuine. Don't say it's only a few hundred million, you can afford billions, just say a price. "This one, the attitude is much better, and he is not blindly arrogant, it seems that this person's cultural level must be below the sea level, and when Xiucai meets soldiers, he can't tell anything. Then let's have a delaying strategy, Professor Xiao Zhong said that there is still one more item that has not been priced.

"Then I'll just wait, anyway, I don't go to work or school, I wander around the world, how about waiting for a few months at your house? People in their fifties are not worried about women running away with others. ”

This is the president's brother-in-law, and his woman is the president's sister. What can the president say? Can only grin. In fact, the president's sister is really not Mr. Dai's type, she is a lady who has drunk foreign ink. used to be the chief financial officer under Mr. Dai, maybe it was fate, it was a pity to marry a rough man who didn't have a few years of culture.

A week later, the experts' identification of the clay pot ended, and they concluded that this clay pot was a product of the prehistoric period before Dayu ruled the water. The price is set at a billion.

This news almost frightened Yun'er. So the crystal clear jade stone is 300 million, heavy, and can also carve a statue of Guanyin, but this clay pot must be fired from the soil, and it is worth one billion. Can soil be compared to jadeite?

Professor Xiao Zhong knew what Yun'er was thinking, and hurriedly said: "The price of cultural relics is not completely based on what material it is, but whether it has research value and archaeological value. Nor is it entirely based on age. Isn't there a pattern on the belly of this clay pot of yours? Actually, it's not a pattern, it's a text. Moreover, there is a considerable proportion of rare elements in the materials it is made from, which are not found on Earth, and experts suspect that it comes from an alien planet. The archaeological value and research value are quite high! ”

Yun'er, a person from a scholarly family, had never heard of words like "prehistoric period" and "alien planet".

Professor Xiao Zhong told Wang Ye that after many demonstrations and tests by experts, it was found that Shang Yi's material was very special, the texture was quite hard, and the appearance was like bronze, but the actual composition inside was much more corrosion-resistant than bronze. According to the chronology, the Shang Dynasty is now more than 3,600 years away, and if it is an ordinary bronze, it has been exposed to the air and has long been oxidized. This pair of Shang Yi can be regarded as a series of bronze cultural relics, but there are already many of them in the national museum with similar appearance to bronzes, and this one is not good-looking, and it is very thin. It can neither represent the level of craft casting technology in a certain period of the Shang Dynasty, nor the unearthed cultural relics, nor reflect any major historical events, just a pair of ordinary Shang Yi. Its preciousness lies in the special material.

The president's brother-in-law had to buy the Han Dynasty lacquerware, Qiu Ying, Tang Yin's two paintings and Shang Yi alive or dead, and if he didn't sell them to him, he would stay at Professor Xiao Zhong's house and not leave. And that clay pot is the treasure of his town.

He also understood that the small potatoes he said were actually the most valuable cultural relics. Professor Xiao Zhong said: "You can sell it, but don't go around like a big trumpet. Not only did they put me and my eldest brother in danger of being kidnapped, but they also put Mr. Fu and the three of them in danger, and they also had a pair of newborn twins. ”

"Huh? That's too serious, isn't it? ”

"Even you yourself are dangerous!"

"Yes, yes, I was kidnapped once twenty years ago, and my family ransomed me for eight million. My brother-in-law knows that I am a rough man, my family was very poor when I was young, and I went to work at a construction site in the south before graduating from junior high school. When the price of the clay pot is accurate, I will pay you a lump sum. ”

Three days later, Yun'er answered a phone call, and the person over there was speechless for a long time, Yun'er was very strange: Isn't the purpose of the call just to talk about things? "Hey" didn't move for a long time, and just wanted to put down the earpiece, so I listened to the "Bang!" With a bang, Yun'er thought it was a dropped line and shook her head.

Within half an hour, Mr. Xiao Zhong came, as if he had run up the stairs, and he was out of breath. After entering the house, he changed his usual gentle and elegant bearing, grabbed the cold cup of his sister-in-law's house very unvividly, and poured a large cup of cold boiled water. Then he took Mr. Fu to the room where his cousin lived.

"Mr. Fu, the situation of the clay pot has changed."

"Is it that you are saying that there is a fake? It doesn't matter if it's fake, I'll give you the money back. ”

"What are you talking about, it's not a fake, it's the state cultural relics management department that came to me and asked me to persuade you to sell the clay pot to them, and they bought it at a price of 1.2 billion. They have used more cutting-edge scientific and technological means to study the composition of this clay pot, and found that the rare elements in it can be used in the aerospace industry. This clay pot of yours is truly unexpected. ”

"So the clay pot can't be sold to the president's brother-in-law?"

"Of course not, we must put the national interest first."

The prince was relieved a lot. Selling clay pots to the loudspeaker is an insecurity factor for everyone. Suddenly two of his puzzled questions came to mind: "Can you tell me about Noah's Ark?" ”

Mr. Xiao Zhong also let out a long breath for the clay pot not to be sold to the president's brother-in-law, and answered the puzzle for the prince: "Haven't you all heard the story of Noah's Ark?" ”

Wang Ye, Yun'er, and Tian Liang shook their heads together, not to mention Noah's Ark, even Noah's Ark has never heard anyone talk about it.

"Then I'll put it in layman's terms, why does Dayu control the water? It was at that time that there was a great flood around the world, and a man named Noah in the West built an ark and rescued a lot of people and animals in the flood, so that the white race and many animal and plant species were left behind, and many people died in the flood. In the East, there are many people who have predicted a great flood and told the people around them. Those who knew the news fled to higher ground before the flood and survived. The period of history before the Flood is prehistoric. In other words, this clay pot of yours was left over from before Noah's Ark, so it is extremely precious. ”

"So what do you tell me about an alien planet?"

"The stars in the sky are alien planets. You see, those stars are very small, but many of them are actually much larger than the earth we humans live on. It is spherical, and our earth is also spherical, that is, the volume is very large, and people can't feel its size on it. Looking at the stars is small because they are too far from the Earth. That distance is not measured in miles, but in light years, which is the distance traveled in a year. ”

Wang Ye, Yun'er and Tian Liang looked at each other. There is no such knowledge in the Qing Dynasty, it is too profound!

Professor Xiao Zhong also told Yun'er and the three of them: "I forgot to tell you that the clay pot will glow pink at night when there is no light, did you really decide to make a move?" ”

Yun'er said: "Naturally, I want to make a move. When I was sick a few years ago, I fell a lot of things, and if I dropped this too, it would be worthless. ”

After formal negotiations, a serious lawyer stepped forward to help sell the paintings of Shang Yi, Qiu Ying, and Tang Yin, as well as Han Dynasty lacquerware, to the president's brother-in-law, Mr. Dai, for a total price of 35.06 million yuan. After deducting income tax of $70.12 million, Mr. Fu received a net income of $280.48 million;

Qiu Ying's vegetable and fruit sketches are 20 million, Tang Bohu's flower and bird fans are 30 million, and Shang Yi is 300 million. The total price of the cultural relics this time is 350 million yuan, after deducting 70 million yuan of income tax, Mr. Fu has a net income of 280 million yuan;

The 1.2 billion clay pot payment deducted 240 million yuan of income tax, and Mr. Fu received a net of 960 million yuan.

Including the first sale of jadeite rough stones, Song Huizong's thin gold book and Ru kiln porcelain, 440 million yuan, deducting income tax of 88 million yuan, the net remaining 352 million yuan, Mr. Fu sold a total of 1,872.48 million yuan.

The three princes received a total of 1,735.2 million yuan. Yun'er insisted on taking the income tax by herself and not letting anyone bear it.

Now that the three of them have a serious long-term ID card, they can open an account in the bank and apply for a bank card, and the money is too much and conspicuous. I also used Ling Juan's ID card to do one, as well as Xiaoli's, Auntie's, Professor Xiaozhong's wife, and eldest son's also got one, and the eldest sister, Mr. Zhong, Lan Lan, Li Rui and even Xu Tingting, Xiaoli, Hailong, and Serious all shared some, so that the average share was not so conspicuous.

The eldest sister handed over all the bank cards to Yun'er, so that she could learn to manage money and take care of a large amount of money. In the future, you can't hand over your financial power to others in business. Yun'er always felt very scared to put it in her hands, and she had to help the eldest sister take care of some of it, and the eldest sister agreed to take one billion for Yun'er to keep it.
