Chapter 384: The Pope's Bone China Hanging Plate
Seeing that Lu Ningshuang really didn't know, Li Yi shook his head and decided to put this matter aside first, and then check it on the Internet when he was free. However, he estimated that most of the pages should not be able to find any information.
After reading the bone china, Lu Ningshuang stayed here to continue to carefully select the porcelain she wanted to keep, while Li Yi returned to see the colored porcelain he hadn't finished reading just now.
Three hours later, Li Yi finally completed this huge project, on the whole, compared with the previous porcelain, this batch of colored porcelain is his most satisfied, not only picked up a Yuan Dynasty glaze red this kind of superlative, and found a unit price of more than 200,000 pastel porcelain is enough for dozens of pieces!
He silently calculated, there were almost more than 5,000 pieces he directly selected in the past two days, and there should be about 500 pieces short of the number of 6123. And the total price of these porcelains is almost between 25 and 300 million, and in general, there is no loss.
But if you don't count the three big leaks of the hibiscus stone carving pen holder, the kiln pen wash and the glaze red straight cup, he didn't take any advantage.
When the two of them returned to the ground, Dean happened to come back from outside, although Li Yi suspected that this guy should have been monitoring them in the monitoring room, but this was also the proper meaning, so he said a few polite words, and said directly:
"Mr. Dean, I agree in principle to this deal between us, and in three days, the Bronze Age will be sent here, and then you can ask an expert to appraise it, and when you are sure that it is okay, I will select your collections."
Dean laughed and patted him on the shoulder,
"Li, go back and have a good rest for two days, when I'm busy during this time, I think I can take you to meet a few friends in the collecting circle, they should also have what you need. But be prepared, they're not like me, they need money. Lots of coins! ”
Li Yi smiled bitterly and nodded, these things, if you want to rely on money to buy, it is a bottomless pit. Even if he is given a small country and made him the boss, most of the country's finances will not be able to support it, let alone a guy who has no other serious financial path except for gambling stones.
However, Dean's words reminded him again, and also made his expectations of Lanzhu even higher.
Recalling that from the beginning of getting the furniture factory and only preparing to sell it for a penny, to being kidnapped by the master's erroneous promise. and then was moved by Lanzhu's plan and was ready to gamble, and now he is sincerely hoping that he can really build a furniture factory......
How long has it been? His mental journey has actually gone through such a complicated journey?! Sure enough, finding something to do to add a burden to yourself is the only shortcut to rapid growth!
The matter of returning cultural relics seemed to be a little idle in the past, and even after communicating with Ma Dashen, he still felt that it didn't seem to be so important. But since God gave him the treasure of the spirit identification card, did he just want him to pick up the leaks and gamble on the stone when he was fine? Enjoy the surprise of others, satisfy the vanity of boredom, and have nothing to steal the fun?
That kind of thing, although it's cool, but it's annoying to do too much.
But what would he have done without doing those things? And, as he got more and more knowledge, he found that he also had a growing sense for those fine antiques. The possessiveness is also getting stronger.
And if you want to have these treasures, it is unrealistic to just rely on picking up leaks or spending money to buy them, and there is not so much money to buy them. Moreover, some real treasures are simply not something that money can buy.
Then, bartering, the exchange of collections between Tibetan friends is particularly important, and if you can exchange things that you don't need but others need, then of course it will be even better.
I don't need it much. And in exchange for a large number of Chinese fine antique treasures, the best choice is of course Western antiques.
Their antiques are not only very self-cherishing, any broken painting or god sculpture can give tens of millions of dollars, and the most important thing is that the good things in their hands are many times more than those collectors in China!
Therefore, if you want to really collect some good treasures, you have to find them abroad. And once it is found from abroad and brought back to China, it is not the return of cultural relics, but also the return of cultural relics!
This is the situation that Li Yi is facing now, although he has not thought too clearly about it at the moment, but in fact, he has already embarked on this path.
What he didn't know at all was that once he succeeded in this transaction, what kind of situation he would face when he brought these more than 6,000 pieces of ancient Chinese porcelain back to China.
But everything is the same, there may be opportunities, there may also be crises, it depends on how he handles it.
But at least for now, he's having a lot of fun and excitement, which in his opinion is enough.
On the way back, Li Yi took out his mobile phone, clicked on Baidu, and entered the 13-word name of Sambatrum Alberto Cappellari.
"Damn, she's really a flower girl!"
Li Yi, who was lazily half-lying on the co-pilot seat and boredly flipping through the web page, suddenly suddenly had a stirring and sat up suddenly, because, on the page displayed on his mobile phone, a Baidu Encyclopedia entry appeared!
This entry does not show the name of the thirteen words, but another one.
But although it is another name, Li Yi can understand it at a glance, and he believes that as long as he is a person with a little bit of common sense of Western politics and history, he will definitely be able to understand it at a glance, because the suffix after the name is enough to explain a qiē.
XVI, Gregory XVI!
What kind of people dare to call "the world"?
In the Western world, "several lifetimes" refers to the first few people to use this name, but this word is not something that everyone can use casually, because this kind of title can only be used for royalty!
The so-called "generations" does not represent the ordinal number of generations, but the ordinal number of names, that is, the first kings to use this name!
This rule was followed not only by the royal families of most European countries, but also by Christendom as a whole.
Looking at the introduction at the back, Li Yi knew that this time he really picked up the baby!
Gregory XVI, Pope of Italy, reigned from 1831 to 1846.
Original name: Sambatrum Alberto Cappellari!
Gregory XVI was the 256th pope in the history of Christianity, and this guy preached absolute papal totalitarianism. After his accession to the throne, Christianity began to use the same methods used by bourgeois entrepreneurs to carry out large-scale capitalist economic activities in the Vatican, bringing huge wealth to the entire church. Although his historical evaluation is very poor, he is an extremely powerful political figure.
There is only so much for the introduction on Baidu, and there is no mention of this bone china hanging plate, or any information that Li Yi can refer to and study, but this is enough.
Because the spirit card has been told to Li Yi, this thing is very important to Gregory XVI!
Since this hanging plate is so important, then, like the pen holder of Emperor Kangxi, there will be relevant records in some historical materials. Now, he only needs to find someone who is extremely familiar with the history of the Holy See, or who has a lot of information on it, and he will be able to solve the mystery!
"What's wrong with you, have you made any new discoveries?"
Lu Ningshuang lowered the speed of the car and turned his head to glance at Li Yi.
"Well, I suspect that bone china hanging plate is probably something that some pope once used."
"What, Pope?!"
Lu Ningshuang exclaimed, the car drew a big S on the road, fortunately this is not the first traffic jam in China, otherwise it would have caused a serious traffic accident.
"You don't know, the status of the pope here is really terrifying, many times, the head of a country does not have his majesty! I remember ......"
Li Yi nodded, the Vatican, as a state within a state, and the Pope, as the leader of the Vatican, is actually the monarch of a small country. Moreover, this monarch is not quite the same as other monarchs, he ascended to the top and raised his arms, and there will definitely be countless people around the world who have responded, and this definitely includes most of the monarchs of countries that believe in Christianity, and their influence can definitely rank among the top few in the world!
A former pope's beloved, hehe, is definitely worth more and more meaning than Queen Victoria's!
I really can't see that this old Dean is really his lucky star!
No, it should be said that Lu Ningshuang, who guided him all the way to find Dean, and found these treasures was his goddess of luck!
"If this thing is not handled well, I'm afraid it will also cause a big dispute, right? Moreover, when it comes to faith, there is no reason at all, and those fanatical believers are crazy, or we ......"
Li Yi knew what Lu Ningshuang was worried about, if there was a dispute over the queen's jewelry box, I believe it wouldn't matter much, but if this hanging plate was not handled well, it might be fatal!
However, the greater the risk, the greater the corresponding opportunity, Li Yi believes that as long as he can find the right middleman, this listing is likely to bring him huge benefits beyond the limit of his imagination!
How could such an opportunity be given up because of fear and fear?
It's just that Lu Ningshuang's attitude also reminded him that when determining the identity of this bone china hanging plate in the future, he must not be in a hurry, he must be cautious, he is not sure, he would rather hold it in his hands than expose it!
"You haven't rested here, and the workload has been so heavy in the past two days, otherwise, we won't go to see antiques tomorrow, and you will rest in the hotel for a day? And I should also go to the studio to show up, otherwise, the teacher will be in a hurry. ”
Li Yi slapped his head suddenly, not to mention that he had forgotten, he was an unemployed person, and it was okay to run casually, but Xiaolu was different, and he was still in school! (To be continued.) )xh:1009666
