Chapter 40: To the Waterfront Town
Seeing the surprised expression on Zhao Zhuo's face, Liu Lao couldn't help but be a little worried: "Mr. Zhao, this porcelain ...... How much is it worth? ”
Li Chengliang and the others also focused their eyes on Zhao Zhuo, not knowing what price he would give.
Zhao Zhuo calmed down at this time, carefully stroked the pattern on the small jar, and said cautiously: "I haven't been able to give a proper price yet." ”
"Isn't that worthless?" Liu Lao couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, because the price of this porcelain is quite expensive, even I can't judge it for a while." ”
Liu Lao was immediately overjoyed and said: "So, it's worth more than the small dish just now?" Those two pieces should be able to sell for a million, right? ”
Li Chengliang and the others were also relieved when they heard this, as long as they could sell it for one million, then the money for Liu's wife's treatment would not be worried.
It's just that Zhao Zhuo smiled and said, "Not only one million, but at least tens of millions." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while, and after a while, Li Chengliang pointed to the small blue and blue jar and said in a trembling voice: "Wooden ...... Wood, you're not mistaken, such a small jar is worth tens of millions? ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly, and added: "At least ten million, because this small jar is not an ordinary celadon jar, but a secret color porcelain produced in the Tang Dynasty, according to the history of more than a thousand years, there are only more than 30 pieces of secret color porcelain judged to be genuine, each of which can be said to be a rare treasure." ”
Li Chengliang and others couldn't help but gasp, although everyone didn't know what secret color porcelain was, but the truth that rare things are expensive still understood, since there are only more than 30 pieces in the world, and there are thousands of years of history from modern times, so naturally it is expensive for a reason.
Liu Lao's eyes kept wide, and he didn't come back to his senses until now, and said in shock: "Mr. Zhao, you're not joking, are you?" ”
Zhao Zhuo shook his head slightly and said: "What I said is true, if Liu Lao doesn't believe my judgment, we can take it to the appraiser branch, and other appraisers will appraise it, I dare to guarantee that the conclusion is the same as mine, this thing will definitely be a blockbuster when it is auctioned, and the price of 10 million will definitely be auctioned." ”
Liu Lao hurriedly said: "I believe it, of course I believe it, although Mr. Zhao is young, he is a real person at first glance, and I also believe in your eyesight, but I don't have time to wait for the auction, I need cash now." Mr. Zhao, if you know someone, if you don't help me introduce a few people who can give money directly, I don't expect this porcelain jar to be sold for tens of millions, five million is enough. ”
Zhao Zhuo said: "Then let's do it, I'll give you one million to Liu Lao first, and then you entrust these two items to me to help you auction them, and then hand over the money from the auction to you, so that you won't miss anything and won't lose the price." ”
Li Chengliang had a little more heart, and whispered on the side: "Wood, do you want to give a million?" You've got to see it, and if you look away, it's not a small amount. ”
The big man also said, "Yes, a million." ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly, and said confidently: "You don't have to worry, I have my own measure." ”
Liu Lao gratefully shook Zhao Zhuo's hand and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are really a charcoal in the snow, but I really don't want to trouble you like this." ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly: "Liu Laoyan is serious, it is my honor to be able to see such a perfect secret color porcelain in my lifetime." ”
Then, Zhao Zhuo, Liu Lao and others rushed to the appraiser branch with the secret color porcelain, because Zhao Zhuo didn't want too many people to know about the secret color porcelain, so he directly found Yu Weiyang in this matter.
Yu Wei saw Zhao Zhuo, who he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly came to the association, and brought a few people in, and as soon as he came in, he closed the door, and then looked at the bag in his arms, and knew that he must have got some valuable antiques.
However, when he saw the small jar, after careful identification, it was concluded that this was the legendary secret color porcelain, he couldn't help but gasp, looking at Zhao Zhuo and smiling bitterly, this Zhao Zhuo has not been to the association since the last exam, and now he has brought such a heavyweight thing, don't look at such a small jar, but it is a national treasure-level cultural relic, no matter which museum it is placed in, it is a treasure of the town hall.
There are only about 30 things in the world, and he has only seen them once, but he has never heard of them scattered among the people.
With the appraisal of a heavyweight like the president of the association, Liu Lao was completely relieved, because the secret color porcelain was the first to be identified by Zhao Zhuo, so the appraisal was naturally issued by him, and then, Yu Weiyang found a lawyer from the association, and Liu Lao and Zhao Zhuo signed an entrustment agreement, and after that, Zhao Zhuo also paid him one million in cash directly.
Of course, Zhao Zhuo is selfish, this secret color porcelain is very important for the Dou Porcelain Festival, with it, he is really not afraid of the Tang Dynasty porcelain that Fang Youming took out.
And for Liu Lao, that one million cash is more important than this secret color porcelain, if it weren't for Zhao Zhuo's dissuasion, he is afraid that he would really sell this thing to others.
Returning to Huaihai City, he accidentally got the right to deal with the secret color porcelain, Zhao Zhuo's mood was also very happy, although six games, so far only found the porcelain of the Song Dynasty and the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, but it was very lucky.
And Zhao Zhuo also firmly believes that he will be able to prepare the other four pieces of porcelain before the Dou Porcelain Festival.
Three days later, the final exam also came to an end, the last exam was Luo Wen was in charge, after the exam, Zhao Zhuo also chatted with Luo Wen a few words, and talked about the porcelain festival by the way, for Zhao Zhuo, it is of course the best to be able to get one more channel to get available porcelain, although there is no antique market in Huaihai City, but there are many people who collect porcelain, and many of them have not been shown to the outside world.
Luo Wen also obviously knew the weight of porcelain on display at the Dou Porcelain Festival, and shook his head after listening, although he had many friends, but the most expensive collection of porcelain was only two or three million, although he could show his hand at the Dou Porcelain Festival, but there was obviously no chance of winning.
After leaving school, when Zhao Zhuo returned to his residence, Han Duoer was busy packing up his things, and because of the winter vacation, he had to move to live at home temporarily.
Now the ceramic processing factory jointly opened by Zhao Zhuo's parents and the Han family has also begun to get on the right track, and Zhao Zhuo has taken out half of the bonus investment at the treasure appraisal conference, and Zhao Zhuo's parents have also purchased real estate in Huaihai City, which can be regarded as settling here.
Just when Zhao Zhuo was helping to move things, he received a call from Cui Shiyan, and as soon as he connected, Cui Shiyan asked, "Senior brother, I heard that you are looking for ceramics now?" ”
"Yes, does Senior Brother have any way?" Zhao Zhuo knew that he must have gotten the news from Luo Wen, and hurriedly asked.
Cui Shiyan smiled and said: "There is no way, but now I want to go to Linshui Township to rescue an ancient tomb, and by the way, I will buy antiques, you are idle anyway, do you want to try your luck with me, Linshui Township is also a place where there have been big officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties, although it is remote, but maybe you can find good things." I will also borrow your eyesight by the way, and if I find a suitable one, I will open a back door to lend it to you. ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled when he heard this, and agreed repeatedly, he had just found Song Renzong's flowers in Zhuangyuan Village, so he immediately became interested in this waterfront town.
Han Duoer heard it clearly on the side, and when she heard that it was an ancient tomb and a treasure hunt, she was immediately interested.
So, Zhao Zhuo took Han Duoer with him, and after coming to the museum, he met with Cui Shiyan and others, and several people in the same company were old qualified appraisers and staff in the museum.
Then, everyone got on the special car of the museum and went to the Chang County Cultural Relics Bureau, which sent a staff member to lead the way for several people, and at the same time introduced the situation of Linshui Township.
Like Zhuangyuan Village, Linshui Township is also a very remote mountain village, surrounded by mountains, only a rugged mountain road can be passed, and this mountain road is not only steep, but also a cliff on one side, and there is a rolling river below, which is very dangerous.
The ancient tomb emerged on the mountain after a few days of heavy rain a few days ago, because the damage was very serious, and the cultural relics staff of Chang County did not have enough experience in this area, so they asked the city museum to help.
After driving straight for two hours along the rugged mountain road, Linshui Township appeared in front of everyone.
Linshui Township is a small village carved out by the river, and the village is built on the mountain, layer by layer like terraced fields, and each floor has farmland and buildings.
The people of the Cultural Relics Bureau immediately found the village chief, and under his leadership, everyone came to Beishan, and saw that there was indeed an ancient tomb at the foot of the mountain, which had exposed a brick tomb roof, and there were two villagers guarding here.
It seems that the tomb has been buried underground for many years, and the top of the tomb has been somewhat deformed, and the bricks that were originally very tight seem to fall into the tomb at the slightest force.
Zhao Zhuo and Han Duoer are both seeing and discovering the ancient tomb for the first time, and they are very novel, of course, Zhao Zhuo is more concerned about the burial goods in the tomb, if they can really dig up a rare treasure, it will save a lot of effort.
However, the tomb has not been excavated yet, and it is not known whether there are burial goods in it, and how many burial goods there are, not to mention, many tombs that have been excavated with great effort have been stolen in the end.
Cui Shiyan was obviously very experienced in the excavation of the ancient tomb, and immediately ordered the staff to start cleaning along both sides of the ancient tomb.
Gradually, the tomb gradually revealed its true face, it was a burial chamber with a dome, three or four meters high, and the tomb door was a very heavy stone slab, and some patterns were carved on it.
