A total of 10 artifacts were provided by the Japanese side for exchange, and the overall quality was very high. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In addition to the sage series of porcelain plate paintings, gold masks, which in Li Yi's view, can be exchanged for a lot of cheap cultural relics, the remaining 6 pieces, there is a set of bamboo slips from the Warring States Period, and its value is only above these two.

There are 11 bamboo slips in this set, each of which is 28.5 cm in length and has 22-24 characters engraved on it. The top half of one of them is somewhat missing, but it looks like only 5 to 7 words have been lost, and it doesn't bother the whole text too much.

"Director Tian, do you have any research on the writing of the Warring States Period?"

After taking a look, the information only gives the age of these bamboo slips as the middle and late Warring States period, and indicates that this age has been measured and corrected by carbon-14 dating, but there is not a word about the translation, and I don't know whether it was not deciphered, or it was deciphered deliberately not written.

"I may still know a few oracles, from the Warring States period, forget it, it's too complicated."

Tian Zechuan shook his head, after the Yin Shang oracle bone inscription and the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn Jin inscriptions, the development of Chinese characters to the Warring States Period, which began in the fifth century BC, had a great change.

This change is mainly due to the fact that the vassal states are independent and do not belong to each other, and the centralized power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has almost been lost, and even the writing is written separately, so there are many differences in the shape structure and writing style of the characters of various countries.

In addition, with the development of economy and culture, writing was more popular in this period, and the materials and scope of casting, engraving and writing were expanded. According to research, the Warring States period can be divided into at least five major systems, namely the Qi system, the Yan system, the Jin system, the Chu system, and the Qin system.

These characters are not only distinctly colored in the region, but also appear in a large number of vulgar characters, variant characters and simplified characters, and many experts who have been immersed in this area for many years have a headache, let alone their laymen.

"I'm afraid there's a trap here! If these bamboo slips record very important historical events, or can clarify some difficult topics that have been debated in scholarship for a long time, or if the events recorded are not found in the handed down documents, their value cannot be estimated at all. On the contrary, the value is also average, and Little Japan deliberately did not give the translation, I'm afraid it's this idea, right? ”

After taking a general look at the contents, Li Yi was sure that he only knew a very small number of the characters, and he didn't know if they were right or not, and he couldn't help but suspect that the Japanese side had speculative intentions in adding these bamboo slips to the exchange catalog.

"Wouldn't it? I guess they didn't decipher it, right? In fact, if we want to know the meaning of these words, it is very simple, as long as we send these photos back to China, even if we can't decipher them all in the short term, it is still very simple to figure out what is recorded, what is the point of them doing this? ”

Li Yi thought about it for a while, it is indeed this truth, and it does not mean that you must exchange things immediately when you see them, you can know a rough idea by delaying them for a few days, and maybe the spirit card can give the title of this text, so that you can know the approximate content and value at once.

"Done it all? Judging from this catalog, the Japanese side should still be very sincere, why don't you get in touch with them first and talk about it? ”

"Hmmm! Let's talk about it first, but how to talk about it, we have to plan it first, did they say that we can change a few? ”

Tian Zechuan smiled bitterly, how many more? After reading this catalog, he felt that one for one was earned.

"Hehe, Director Tian, you can't think like that. You know, your shoes, the treasures of the other, the starting point is different, the value of things is different, I think, we can try to eat them all! ”

"All? Impossible, right? Bamboo slips, gold masks, these are good to say, although it is a national treasure, but the specific value is difficult to define, it may be okay to compete, but like porcelain, ancient paintings, basically have the auction price as a reference, not to mention the set of porcelain plate paintings, it is the pastel hollow heart bottle in the Qianlong period, I am afraid that tens of millions of people will not be able to get down......"

"Really? So how much do you think Ono Michifeng's "My House" should be worth? ”

"No matter how valuable it is, it's just a piece of calligraphy, and it's only a few dozen words, even if you consider that there may be a premium to collect all the "Three-Body Bai's Poems", where can its value be?"

"No, it's different, the meaning is different, it's like when you see these things, you want to go bankrupt and take them for yourself, I believe that this intention of the Japanese side will only be more urgent than ours, so we must not give in, at least to ensure that the pastel heart bottle, porcelain plate painting, gold mask, bamboo slips, and ......."

Li Yi looked through the information, pointed to Lan Ying's "Huayue Autumn High Picture" and said:

"And this one, as for that cloisonné, it's a ...... to add"

Tian Zechuan smiled bitterly, asking for these six pieces seems to be not much different from not letting one step and asking for all of them. However, it is good to have this confidence, when negotiating, I am afraid that the bottom line is uncertain, in that case, I may be defeated if I am tested by the other party a few times.

"Are you sure you choose either option?"

"Well, anyway, don't worry, first stretch him for a while! I think the Japanese side should have considered this possibility when providing this catalog, and if they were very confident, they would not have provided us with so many choices. ”

"Good! It's good that you can make up your mind, to be honest, I'm afraid that you will fall in love with one of these things, and in the end you will suffer a big loss in order to protect such a thing...... NND, this time let them taste the meat buns and beat the dog, there is a taste of no return! ”

Li Yi rolled his eyes, what are these words, did you say that about yourself?

Tian Zechuan didn't notice his words, and continued to chatter excitedly,

"Don't you know, what grievances have we not suffered in order to return all these years? Now I finally have the opportunity to stand on an equal footing with them, I think, we should not leave any retreat at all, it is a fixed price, either all or not change, I believe that we must win in the end! ”

Li Yi glanced at him in surprise, looking at this guy's performance at the beginning, it seemed that he was very satisfied if he could get one or two pieces back, why was he even more radical than him at this time?

"Well, the thing is yours, and if you don't make up your mind, what's the use of me saying more? Now that you've given the bottom line, if you can't wipe them out, I won't be living in vain for so many years? ”

Li Yi suddenly realized, it turned out that this guy was testing his mind before!

"That'...... Director Tian, when do you think we should talk to them? ”

"Hehe, don't worry, you first run to the exhibition to show your face, let them know that you are back, they will naturally look for you, and then you will excuse yourself to have other things, delay them for two days, at least wait until the country gets the translation of those bamboo slips."

"Oh? Have you sent all the photos back home? ”

"Haha, yes, anyway, the preparation needs to be thorough, right? Moreover, I don't think we need both of us to negotiate the negotiation, you can just entrust this matter to me, so that even if the negotiation collapses, there will be room for manoeuvre......"

"That's ......"

Li Yi touched his chin and nodded, let Tian Zechuan go to talk, first, he was not good at this kind of negotiation. Kalu's negotiation suffered a lot of losses, and secondly, even if it was handed over to Tian Zechuan to negotiate, he didn't have to worry about any accidents, and when the time came, let Hongchen or Gu Feng also participate.

It's just that Tian Zechuan's proposal suddenly reminded him of a question, since he is not good at negotiation, and Tian Zechuan is a state official, it is impossible to have time to help him in everything, so why doesn't he find one himself?

"Okay, then it's decided, Director Tian, if it can be negotiated this time, in addition to these 6 pieces, I will deal with the remaining 4 pieces as you ask me to do with them, even if all of them are donated to the country."

Of course, Li Yi would not think that Tian Zechuan's efforts to help him were purely out of obligation or the conscience of a Chinese person, so of course he couldn't let him be busy in vain, anyway, among the remaining four pieces, Yongzheng blue and white bowls and dishes are in his collection, and the works of the Qing Dynasty painter Wang Yong, and even Gao Xiang, one of the eight monsters in Yangzhou, are not treasures, even if they donate, there is nothing to feel sorry for.

On the contrary, if you have a good relationship with someone like Tian Zechuan, if you want to exchange the few world-famous paintings he has left, you should still be able to get some advice from him, and with the information he has, this loss will be made up casually, so there is really no need to be stingy at this time.

"Good boy, I really didn't misunderstand you!"

He doesn't care about those collections, Tian Zechuan is different, at first, he thought that he could let Li Yi donate one at most, but he didn't expect that this kid donated 4 pieces, you know, although these 4 pieces are the most inconspicuous in this catalog, but if they are put on the market, they will be worth at least more than 3 million.

"Brother, you don't need to be so generous, the blue and white flowers in the Yongzheng period are still very collectible, even Gao Xiang's painting should be a treasure, so if you can talk about it, you can donate the blue and white bowl and Wang Yong's work, and I will overfulfill the task."

"Oh? Director Tian, you are really too polite, so let's say this first, anyway, if there is anything, we ......will communicate in time." )
