Chapter 286: Another Secret

It is impossible to put the money in your hand into two things and put it there, and then even the necessary circulation funds have to find a way again! For example, now this fast blue and white porcelain plate, the asking price has been as high as 72 million, and it is still struggling to rise, according to Xu Dong's estimate, this piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain plate, when the transaction is made, at least not less than 70 million to 85 million, that is, if Xu Dong buys such a piece, the remaining funds, although there are still some, but it can definitely not meet the needs of his own opening and purchase.

Therefore, when it comes to substance, if you buy any item that can only earn the difference at a high cost, it is obviously very inappropriate for Xu Dong.

After several rounds of confrontation, this blue and white porcelain plate was finally collected by Zhou Jinlong for 77.2 million.

The second thing to be auctioned is a Han Dynasty white jade jade pendant, with a dragon and phoenix shape, the blade is strong and broad, natural and bold, typical Han Badao carving skills, the texture of white jade is Hetian mutton fat white jade, in fact, don't say that it is the mutton fat white jade of the Han Dynasty, even if it is the current mutton fat white jade, it is all on gram pricing, gem-grade mutton fat white jade, the starting price is tens of thousands of grams, and it is priceless.

And now, to get a piece of Han Badao carved mutton fat white jade carving, itself is a thing that can be encountered but not sought, not to mention, this is the real Han Dynasty jade pendant, and it is the skill of Han Badao, which is definitely a very representative thing, so this value, in addition to the archaeological aspect, as a cultural relic, is not to mention, so the starting price exceeded 50 million, reaching an astonishing reserve price of 65 million.

Just knowing the reserve price of this jade pendant, the fat man's head hung down, such a thing, not to mention himself and Li Siyan, even Xu Dong, can only be discouraged now.

These things are too expensive, Xu Dong naturally doesn't have much heart to ask for them, and now he asked Li Siyan who was on the side now: "Old Li, how much profit will they have if they take these things back?" ”

Li Siyan shook his head: "These things, they take them back, most of them are collections, what they want to taste is the highest level of fun, play is eyesight, compare concentration, and enjoy charm; Relying on knowledge, accumulating experience, paying tuition, if it is a transaction, it is obviously impossible to have much profit, the antique industry, to make money, is not these national treasure-level things, there are similar things there, everyone knows the price, and, this kind of thing, it is extremely easy to form a premium acquisition, so the opportunity to earn the price difference, is simply minimal, and if it is a transaction, it is extremely easy to be targeted, causing trouble......"

"What really wants to make a lot of money is those second-class things, if they are operated well, the second-class things, that is, the same as national treasure-level things, but in terms of cost, at least ten times lower, how big the difference is, I don't need to elaborate on it, as for the things I want, from the perspective of doing business, it can basically only make a living......

Since ancient times, antiques have been as deep as the sea, not to mention shoddy, it is a fake and true, it is all popular, this point, Xu Dong is very clear, so what Li Siyan said, Xu Dong naturally nodded in agreement.

This dragon and phoenix jade pendant, after a bloody struggle, finally reached a transaction price of 96 million, so that the person who wanted to buy the soft-shelled turtle accepted it.

At this time, Xu Dong was also curious about this person, because this person has always been relatively active, almost every object, he is almost chasing and fighting, and Xu Dong also has a good impression of this person.

So Xu Dong asked Li Siyan, what is this person doing?

Li Siyan smiled faintly: "This person's name is Qin Yu, and he has a nickname called 'Smiling Tiger', you think this is very affinity, right, in fact, hehe......"

As soon as Xu Dong heard the words "smiling tiger", he didn't ask more at the moment, anyway, he and him were just a one-sided relationship, and it was only a coincidence that he could meet him today, after this auction, whether he would meet him again is two words, since he is a smiling tiger, it's a big deal to stop dealing with him.

As he spoke, Gao Cheng raised his voice: "What is going to be auctioned below is a unique item and a strange thing......"

As she spoke, a girl took out this thing with a tray and put it in front of Gao Cheng.

As soon as Xu Dong heard about the "strange thing", he immediately turned his head and found that there was a light purple breath coming out of the tray through the red brocade, and the color and concentration of this lilac breath were very familiar to him.

Before Xu Dong could turn the corner, the upper echelons untied the brocade, revealing the contents of the tray.

The thing in the tray turned out to be the birdcage cage that he had just sold to Yang Hanxuan in the morning!

As soon as he saw this cage, the fat man almost screamed out loud, but fortunately, Xu Dong quickly glared at the fat man and glared back at the fat man's words, where will the things he has sold appear and are they related to himself?

The fat man smiled and whispered to Xu Dong: "I'm not making a fuss, it's just the treasure of the Ma warlord, which has been given to us a long time ago...... Give us ...... Hehe...... I didn't expect this thing to continue to deceive people......"

Xu Dong was too lazy to pay attention to the fat man's nonsense, but suddenly thought, what kind of role did that Yang Hanxuan play in this auction venue?

It's just about Yang Hanxuan, Li Siyan doesn't know anything about it, and when he asks him, if he doesn't say anything, it's very likely that the secret will be leaked.

Therefore, Xu Dong pretended to ask Li Siyan, "What is this?" ”

Li Siyan's insight was really extraordinary, just after a few glances, he whispered a little excitedly: "It appeared, it finally appeared, the legend is true!" ”

"Legends, what legends?" Xu Dong continued to ask pretendly.

Li Siyan sighed very regretfully, and then muttered in a low voice: "If this was before, even if it was bankrupt, I would have taken this thing...... Alas......"

The fat man couldn't stop asking, "Old Li, what kind of legend is there!" ”

Li Siyan sighed heavily again, and then said in a low voice: "This is a legend that has been circulated in the antique world for nearly a hundred years, saying that this is a treasure map, and what is hidden in it is not only a treasure, but also some other things!" ”

As a treasure map, Xu Dong, the fat man, and Qiao Yanxue have all destroyed the treasure of the Ma warlord, which is not very useful to Xu Dong and the fat man, but I heard that there are other things, what is going on?

Li Siyan continued to whisper: "In Tongcheng, there are actually many people who know about the treasure of the Ma Warlord, but almost no one knows about it, there is another secret in it!" ”

Xu Dong and the fat man were taken aback: "There is another secret!" ”

Li Siyan nodded: "This secret, too few people know about it, legend, the treasure of the Ma warlord, hides a shocking secret, unlock the secret of the treasure map, you can get not only the treasure, but also some unknown things." ”

"Ah...... How so? At this moment, Xu Dong and the fat man were both complaining.

Especially Xu Dong, recalling the legend of Osmanthus Pass, at that time he thought that the second map was left by the warlord Ma himself, and coincidentally let the traveling doctor discover the secret in the planning book, and now it seems that it should not be like that.

It's no wonder that at that time in the treasure room of the warlord Ma, he knew that someone had entered it, but the treasure inside was not taken away, and he was still wondering what was going on.

Why didn't you think of it? And didn't even think about the anomalies in between?

Like that kind of fish skin collection - there were originally two in his hand, and now there is another one, one in the hand of the traveling doctor, a total of three appeared, and the three fish skin books are just drawings that record the treasure of the horse warlord?

The craftsman surnamed Zheng will not be able to make three drawings for nothing?

Could it be that Long Qiusheng sued himself and didn't finish telling himself about some of it?

Xu Dong pondered for a moment, and felt that it was a little unlikely, with Long Qiusheng's personality, he would never hide what he knew and not tell himself, unless, it should be that Long Qiusheng felt that it was impossible, it was too absurd, with his experience and knowledge, he would never believe that there would be something zĂ i, and Long Qiusheng would naturally not talk nonsense.

Soon, Xu Dong's question got a reasonable explanation.

It was Li Siyan who helped find the "reason": "Legend has it that the treasure map of the Ma warlord was originally a large picture, and the Ma warlord only cracked part of it, and he was a small thief who joined the ranks of the warlords, and ran rampant in the Tongcheng area for several years; The rest of the part could not be cracked by the Ma warlord, and the war was tight, the Ma warlord could not get out to explore most of the remaining secrets, but he was afraid that this picture would fall into the hands of others, so he divided the picture into several pieces, and used the most clever technology to seal these small pieces and hide them in different places...... It's just that this matter, the warlord Ma was afraid that it would leak out, so he killed the craftsman surnamed Zheng as well......"

"It was only after killing the craftsman surnamed Zheng that the Ma warlord found that his picture divided into several pieces, with three small pieces, was missing, which made the Ma warlord angry and lost his square inch, which led to the defeat and death."

I see! Xu Dong secretly thought to himself, no wonder the craftsman surnamed Zheng actually had two treasure maps disguised as birdcage cages! But what are those "unknown things"?

Li Siyan shook his head and said, "What is it, no one knows, but there are rumors about Qin Shi Huang?" ”

"Ah......" Xu Dong and the fat man were taken aback again.

In order to find the "people of Wanqu" that Qin Shi Huang had received, Qiao Yanxue took herself and the fat man to the treasure of the Ma warlord, saying that she was looking for the golden-headed centipede Gu, but in fact, although the golden-headed centipede was indeed found later, it was useless at all.

Is this my luck, mistaken, crooked hit, or is it simply a planned "conspiracy"?

Suddenly, Xu Dong felt that his head was getting big again.
