Li Yi took the tiger in front of him, and without looking at it carefully, he was basically able to determine that it was a genuine product. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because this tiger is the kind of object that really opens the door at a glance, the only thing left to be carefully determined is its age.

This tiger is complex in shape, complicated in ornamentation, and with **** as the theme, these points are very similar to many cultural relics unearthed in the late Shang Dynasty in China, so Li Yi judged that most of this tiger is the same as those two, and it is also made in the late Shang Dynasty.

After carefully inspecting it and confirming that there was no defect in the whole device except for a few places with a thin layer of green rust, Li Yi opened the spirit identification card.

A burst of extremely cold air flowed through, and the Jianling tablet gave the identification result, which was indeed a product of the reign of Shang Kuangwang Taiding, the grandfather of the king of Shang, in the late Shang period.

Looking up and seeing François's expectant eyes, Li Yi smiled, and did not hide his appreciation for this tiger piece.

"A good thing indeed, Monsieur François, is there anything else?"

François was overjoyed, and Li Yi's answer at least indicated that he intended to talk to him about the "Water Lilies", and it also meant that the tiger could be added to the quid pro quo.

He gestured to Li Yi to wait, then turned around and took out a rare object from the safe.

This is a cloisonné porcelain moon bottle, but the shape is a bit strange, it is two identical moon bottles connected together, one in front and one behind, about one-third of the parts overlap.

Because the biggest feature of the moon bottle is the flat and round belly like a full moon, plus two round short necks, the front looks like two table tennis rackets misplaced together.

This one-piece bottle, not only the shape is peculiar, the decoration is also very rare, in the bottle belly open part, painted with a five-clawed dragon and phoenix conjoined body, the periphery is decorated with landscapes and trees. Although the material of the whole pattern is a common theme in China, the expression is very Westernized, as if it were those export porcelains common in the Qing Dynasty.

However, it is rare to see porcelain with the theme of dragon and phoenix in export porcelain, and the decoration of this bottle looks a little dull, and the shape gives people a feeling of not being very coordinated, so Li Yi judged that even if it is not a modern imitation, it is mostly shoddy and shoddy in the late Qing Dynasty.

Picking up the bottle and looking at the bottom of the bottle, he found that the style was actually a gilded four-character regular script of "Qianlong Year", and he couldn't help laughing. During the Qianlong period, he used the theme of dragons and phoenixes to make such ugly things, or exported them, aren't you afraid of being beheaded by this emperor who likes to flaunt his martial arts?

As soon as his mind moved, the spirit card was opened, and he swiped it on the conjoined bottle, and Li Yi got the result he wanted, this was really a fictional thing during the Republic of China, and I don't know where François got it, and he was still hidden in the safe like a treasure.

Shaking his head slightly, he set the conjoined bottle aside and picked up another thing that François had just taken out.

This is an old-fashioned shotgun about 1.5 meters long, and it is also a rare thing, because the gun body is equipped with gold and silver ornaments in many places, and the barrel is also inscribed with a neat "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" six-character regular script style, and the muzzle of about five centimeters long at the front of the barrel is a bell mouth made of cast iron and gilded, which looks like a noble and compelling!

"This is a musket that your Qianlong Emperor once used."

Seeing Li Yi's interested, François hurriedly explained that an old-fashioned musket might not be worth much, but if it was used by Qianlong, it would be different.

Li Yi nodded, although he didn't have much research on this thing, but just from the materials used in this gun, as well as the ornamentation, he could deduce that this was mostly an imperial system. Moreover, the shape of this gun is very similar to the musket used by Qianlong named "Pure Divine Spear" in the data, and it is very likely that it is that gun.

Qianlong has a variety of royal muskets, which are recorded in the "Imperial Ritual Schema", not only painted with graphics, but also detailed information such as size and weight, and these guns are basically named the title of "XX Divine Spear", specifically "Pure Divine Spear", "Strange Quasi Divine Spear", "Tiger Divine Spear" and so on.

According to historical records, Qianlong loved hunting, and a year before his death, he wrote a poem to describe the fun of hunting, but this poem is indeed a bit miserable, and I don't know how embarrassed to be recorded.

"Whatever makes my heart happy, the first thing is the Mauser; Aim at the fawn and pull the trigger, and the prey falls to the ground to harvest busy. ”

It is said that this emperor wrote more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime, and even if they are of this quality, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

As soon as he swiped the spirit identification card, Li Yi knew that this was indeed the "pure magic spear" used by Qianlong's royal family, so he put it aside, looked up and asked:

"Anything else?"

François hesitated for a moment and said:

"Yes, there's one more thing, please wait."

After saying that, he hurried out of the room, listened to the footsteps, and actually went up to the ground.

Li Yi glanced at Luo Guofu, and Luo Guofu hurriedly said:

"Lang Shining's painting has been negotiated, so we will exchange the sketch for one, but François demanded that the "Water Lilies" must be exchanged for him, and even if he can't get enough of the exchange, we must promise that in the end, "Water Lilies" must be handed over to him."

"Oh? If he can't get enough of the exchange, he will go to him, and he is going to add additional money? Or ......"

"What he means is that if he doesn't have enough to exchange for Water Lilies, then we can make another request, and he wants us to provide him with the catalogue he wants, and he will help us find and coordinate it."

Li Yi nodded, that is to say, this guy actually wants to play the role of Rogov, but this is fine, everyone has their own range of contacts, and everything depends on Rogov to negotiate, and he may not be able to search for antiques that he is satisfied with, and even if he can, it is always a good thing to be able to expand the scope of the base.

"Let's see what other treasures I can bring over."

Li Yi valued "Water Lilies" at $35 million, and even if there was a deviation, the difference should not be much. And the two pieces that François took out, although they are precious, but for Li Yi, they belong to the things that benefit but do not cost. In other words, things are good, but not very valuable.

The first is the bronze. The reason why bronzes are precious is because of their age and large size. The second is because there are inscriptions. And like Tiger Tree, to be honest, it is precisely because there is not even a single piece in the country that it has become extremely precious, and under normal circumstances, its price is only 350 million soft sister coins.

As for the musket, it is worth a hundred times because it is Qianlong's plaything, but no matter what, it is just a gun. Besides, there are still fewer things that belong to Qianlong? Jade seals have 10 million or 20 million soft girl coins, not to mention a gun?

These two things, if you spend money to buy them, may cost close to 15 million US dollars, but in exchange, Li Yi will give it a discount of 10 million yuan, who will let the other party want his things?

At this price, he still has to consult Tan Moxuan, maybe it will already be high!

Now it's up to François to come up with what else he can bring.

Seeing that François hadn't come down for a long time, Li Yi stood up and browsed around the room casually, when suddenly his eyes flashed, staring at a set of silver coins and groaning.

How could something like this end up here?

This set of three silver coins was presented in a flat box with a clear plastic lid and was placed alongside some ancient Chinese coins in the same packaging, but it was clearly not from Huaxia, and it is not known why they were placed together.

These three silver coins, about the size of Yuan Datou, are the head of a woman with long hair on the obverse, and an olive branch around a bald eagle with wings spread on the back, all in denominations of $1. There is only a slight difference in the age of the mint, two were struck in 1795 and the other in 1794.

In Li Yi's memory, there is information about this kind of silver coin, but it is precisely because of the information of this kind of silver coin that it is particularly incredible to see it appear here, let alone appear as soon as it comes out or three together.

This silver coin, which should be called the Flowing Lady Liberty $1 coin, was the first $1 coin issued by the U.S. federal government, and the one minted in 1794 is the most precious and valuable coin in the world, and there is no one.

Because, in 2013, a 1794 version of the Lady of Liberty with the finest known condition sold for $10,016,875 at auction, setting a new record for a single coin in history!

Then, in 2015, another 1794 Lady Liberty $1 coin sold for nearly $5 million!

What makes this coin so precious is that it was the first $1 coin issued by the U.S. federal government. Moreover, according to the data, more than 3,000 one-dollar coins of this design were minted in 1794, but only 1,758 were finally approved for use, and the rest were destroyed or remanufactured because of defects.

In other words, there are only 1,758 Lady Liberty dollar coins minted in 1794 since the day they were born!

The 1,758 silver dollars put into normal use on the market, instead of 1,758 commemorative coins, after more than 200 years of consumption, its preciousness can of course be imagined!

Because the pattern was not satisfactory, the dollar ceased to be minted in 1795 and a new wavy head silver dollar was minted.

Although there are no specific statistics on the number of the 1795 Flowing Lady Liberty Dollar, experts estimate that the number must have exceeded 50,000, so the value of the 1795 Flowing Lady Liberty Dollar is not very high.

But in any case, after more than 200 years, it is the first $1 coin issued in the United States, so the 1795 version can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars compared to the better one.

It's just that these three coins are worth more than $5 million, so how can they be placed in this place at random? (To be continued.) )
