Chapter 646: We Only Seek Wealth
"Boss Li? Who is the last one waiting for, and why hasn't it arrived yet? Just when Xuanyuan Xia Yujian was conveying the idea of humane holy power to Zhou Mingluo, a voice suddenly appeared in the living room, but it was a middle-aged man with a fat figure and big ears who raised his wrist to look at the time, and found that the pointer had crossed eight o'clock, pointing at the moment of eight and a half, which couldn't help but make him feel a little unhappy.
Zhou Mingluo didn't come early before, but people always came at the appointed time, so no one would have an opinion, but this last one was already late.
When the fat man's words landed, a blonde foreigner who was drinking tea also frowned, and then he didn't raise his head, and a string of syllables protruded from his mouth.
Those who don't understand this foreign language will be slightly puzzled, but what they can understand is secretly bowed, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in their eyes.
There is no other reason, this one is a sentence, is it possible that the one who thinks he is nobler than everyone here wants so many people to wait for him?
But no, there are fifteen or sixteen bosses here, and they can all carry tens of millions or even more dollars in cash, and I'm afraid no one will feel that they are much worse than others. In the same way, it may be that some people are already disgusted with being late, so almost half of them are slightly unhappy at this moment.
Seeing that so many big bosses were angry, Boss Li and Sean both apologized again and again, Sean glanced at Boss Li, and this one immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to ask Mr. Lu if he had arrived, and after getting a negative answer, Boss Li frowned suddenly and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, it's my fault for this today, so let's start the auction officially, don't wait." ”
After saying this, Boss Li accompanied him again, and a group of bigwigs in the room looked relieved, and Boss Li clapped his hands, and a man behind him walked away directly and walked towards the room where the goods were stored.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's invite us to the first auction item today, this thing, for friends who love ancient Chinese bronzes, I'm afraid it will definitely be a surprise, I believe ......"
The people over there left, and Boss Li introduced it in Mandarin with a smile, and when Boss Li's words landed, Sean over there also quickly translated in English and French.
And a group of bigwigs in the room directly showed three or four expressions of expectation, but more of them were slightly surprised and calmed down, maybe not so many people like bronzes, of course, there may also be some people who are deeper in the city, and their joy and anger are invisible.
And Zhou Mingluo undoubtedly belongs to the latter, although Zhou's face is calm, but his heart has already become excited, this first auction is actually Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword?
This sword is determined to be obtained no matter what, and he suppressed this emotion, but he just didn't want to make people suspicious, after all, other people's things haven't been taken out yet, and it is impossible to show very excited emotions immediately.
After waiting quietly for dozens of breaths, the young man who had passed before immediately walked out of the secret door, still holding a long box in his hand, and when the box was respectfully placed on the auction table, Boss Li opened the box with a smile, revealing the bronze sword that was full of rust and looked quite thoughtful.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this bronze sword is undoubtedly a technology only in the mature period of bronze casting, but I judge that it should be a product of about 2600 BC before the Xia Dynasty, at that time it was the Neolithic Age, it is unbelievable that there is such a bronze skill, if this is true, I am afraid it will overturn a large number of old views, so, this bronze sword, the auction reserve price is 300,000 US dollars, if any boss is interested, you can come forward to take a look."
Pointing to the bronze sword in the box, Boss Li talked eloquently, and his words, which were also attached by Sean in other languages, quickly caused a wave in the living room.
As we all know, the Neolithic Age is followed by the Bronze Age, and the emergence of bronze tools in China is the end of the Neolithic Age.
Then it was slowly formed, after the era of Yao Shunyu and other legends, this process was just the appearance of bronze, and slowly developed, until the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, there was a more mature performance.
Its heyday was the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States Period.
Then there was a change, and ceramics and iron began to play a major role.
Before the Xia Dynasty, China's bronze casting techniques were imperfect.
How could this bronze sword, which was very mature in casting technology, turn out to be an earlier Neolithic product? Around 2600 BC? At that time, Yao Shunyu had not yet appeared, it seems that it was still the leadership period of the Yellow Emperor in Chinese biography, and it was the end of the Neolithic Age at that time, and after Yao Shunyu appeared, China's bronzes were considered to have reached the formative period.
Before the formative period, there was someone who could compare to the heyday of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in bronze casting?
The country's bronzes are really hot in the past two years, very interesting, since the beginning of the exhibition of the water belt, there can be too many people who have exuded a strong love for the bronze, even if they are not interested in the bronze before, I am afraid that they will not be interested in the bronze because of the water belt.
If this is a bronze that can redefine history, then 300,000 dollars is indeed not expensive.
Soon, seven or eight figures in the hall stood up and walked towards the auction table, which was indeed more crowded than the bronzes that might surprise people when Boss Li first mentioned the first lot just now.
However, in the process of walking, there are also people who muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Sean, this is a product of the Neolithic Age, how can we identify it? We can use it privately for all kinds of instrument identification, and we only have a magnifying glass in our hands. ”
I can't help but complain, usually the appraisal of antiques is from the style of the object to determine its age, each different age of the product, have different characteristics, but this Neolithic bronze, if the most recognizable before, is nothing more than its very immature skills, but now such a thing has emerged, I am afraid that it can not be firm from its style.
But Sean and Boss Li, who launched this bronze sword, can use other scientific means to detect it, such as archaeology, which often uses carbon-14 to detect the age, although carbon-14 detection is ineffective against metal, but today's level of science and technology, there are other similar means to date this thing.
But those that have to be instrumental, where can they do it with a magnifying glass?
"Hehe, the rust color precipitated by items of different ages can also be judged." Boss Li smiled, but the people around him rolled their eyes and were speechless.
It is true that the age can be judged by the pulp and the like, but the items are stored in different places, and they have a great impact, so these things cannot be too reliable.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Mingluo was secretly happy in his heart, the more inaccurate the judgment of these bigwigs, the more bottomless his heart was, the more sure he could get this sword.
In the secret joy, Zhou Mingluo's expression suddenly moved, and he glanced out of the door slightly, just because he vaguely heard a string of footsteps and rushed here.
Could it be that the guy who was late came? Thinking of this, Zhou Gang wanted to smile and turn around, but his face soon changed slightly.
It doesn't sound right.
It was a long line of brisk and agile footsteps, and there were about twenty or thirty people at a glance? The last latecomer could never have brought twenty or thirty bodyguards at once, right? And some of the footsteps stopped outside the door of the guest room in front of them, but some of them went straight to the room next door where the antiques were stored.
It's really not right!!
The footsteps outside the door did not knock on the door behind the door, and there was no other movement, but as if they were waiting for something, and even at this moment there were occasional sporadic mechanical sliding sounds, which were the action of the gun pulling the safe.
Zhou Mingluo's eyes bulged, and he saw a brown-haired man who was originally standing behind the auction table, and a bodyguard brought by a certain boss advancing and retreating.
The brown-haired man instantly retreated to the corner of the wall, stood in the corner and took out a pistol from his arms, aiming at several other bodyguard men in front of him, but the bodyguard behind a certain boss entered and took out his pistol and put the muzzle of the black hole hole on the boss's head.
"What??"
A frightened scream suddenly rose, it was the boss who was held hostage shouting, in fact, before he shouted, many other bosses' bodyguards nearby had seen this scene, and many of them instantly touched their hands into their arms.
But almost at the same time, the door of the guest room was kicked open, and the three young men with the micro chong directly aimed the micro chong at the house, "Baby, don't resist." ”
"Puff~"
As he spoke, three slightly chong men stepped inside, fan-shaped one aimed at an area, and more than a dozen people rushed in again, all of them holding murder weapons, with hideous and faint excitement.
There were two or three gunshots blessed by the silencer suddenly raised, but the three bodyguards did not listen to the advice, and the gun continued to take out half of it, one of them directly ate a peanut rice with his forehead, and the other two dodged after the gunshot, one cheek was rolled with flesh on one side, and the other was unharmed, but his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't dare to make any other moves.
The atmosphere of the entire private room changed dramatically in an instant, and there was one death and one injury in the blink of an eye.
"We only want money, don't force us to hurt people, babies, we are all nobles, there is no need to bump into us cheap guys, understand?" Seeing that one person fell, the other was slightly injured, but someone else dodged, one of the three men carrying a slight charge, a black young man smiled on the spot, a mouthful of white teeth and white eyes.
The bosses in the room were also completely discolored, all of them had gloomy faces and unpredictable expressions, and the hosts of this auction, Boss Li and Sean's faces were even darker, and they could drip water.
Robbery? They would choose a place, and this kind of black market auction is a really good place, and each boss carries at least millions in cash, and it is all dollars.
It's not that they don't have security measures, but it's obvious at the moment that this time they're out of the house, and there's more than one.
