You must know that in the third dynasty of the Xia and Shang dynasties, the bronze was covered with a layer of mystery, it is not a bronze with practical value in the general sense, but a token that communicates people, gods and ancestors.

Therefore, the bronzes cast in the third dynasty of the Xia Shang dynasty strive to be fine, gorgeous and pleasing to the eye, sonorous and pleasant.

Also, in the history of bronzes, the bronzes of the Xia and Shang dynasties are national actions, extremely skillful, because they are the needs of the country, the workers are also dedicated, and the country is even more cost-conscious, focusing on the quality of the utensils.

In the end, when these three generations cast bronzes, they were all cast by hand, one mold made one bronze, no two pieces were exactly the same, each one was unique and unique.

Therefore, these 1,237 bronzes cast in the Xia Dynasty are exquisite and beautiful to the eye, and are the ultimate goal of collectors and investors.

Compared with Qijian, Xiahou Zhuding, and Yiqipan, the highest value is these 1,237 bronzes.

More than 40 appraisal experts spent half a month on this batch of bronzes for a detailed and accurate evaluation.

The final assessment price given was $814.1 million. It is equivalent to 5,047.4 million yuan.

Among them, the lowest appraisal price is a relatively small bronze artifact, with a value of more than 300,000 yuan.

Among them, 7 bronzes have an appraised price of hundreds of millions of yuan. Hundreds of millions of yuan.

A total of 1,237 Xia Dynasty bronzes with a total appraised value of 5,047.4 million RMB.

On average, each Xia Dynasty bronze was estimated at 4.08 million yuan by many appraisal experts.

It is conceivable that this batch of Xia Dynasty bronzes has a fine Cheng dù.

In the end, the evaluation team assessed the price of this batch of bronzes at 1.253 billion US dollars, equivalent to 7.7686 billion yuan.

There is a gap with the appraisal value of 7.217 billion drawn by dozens of appraisal experts from the Xia Civilization Light Working Group.

In the end, after repeated negotiations between the two parties, the transaction was 7.512 billion yuan.

Lawyers for both parties drafted a contract for the transaction.

At last. Chen Rui signed his name on the deal with the Chinese representative.

The $1,211.6 million used to buy back the Xia Dynasty bronzes was allocated from the emergency budget of the Ministry of Finance and remitted to the account of Chen Rui's American Express Bank.

Chen Rui handed over the Xia Dynasty bronzes to the Chinese representatives.

The deal is done.

A few days later. A transport ship docks at the newly expanded port of Malrouge on the island of Tortuga.

The staff of the Chinese side, the staff of the island, carried the bronzes to the ship.

The ship will depart from the port of Malrouge on the island of Tortuga and arrive in Miami, USA.

At Miami International Airport, the Chinese side rented a C-130 "Hercules" transport plane to transport the bronzes back to China.

The Chinese side bought back a batch of bronzes from the Xia Dynasty from Chen Rui.

Involving 1,240 Xia Dynasty bronzes. Pieces of fines. The amount involved amounted to US$1,211.6 million, which is not a small number in the international art market.

A simple number.

Christie's, one of the world's leading art auction houses, achieved a total of £1.8 billion in 2005, the highest ever in Christie's history.

You know, Christie's holds regular auctions in 90 offices around the world and 16 locations around the world, and the total auction turnover in a year is only 1.8 billion pounds. It also broke the all-time record.

The $1,211.6 million is already half of Christie's auction house's total auction turnover in a year.

More than 200 people were involved in the deal.

This matter must not be hidden from some well-informed people and the media.

In fact, whether it is the Chinese side or Chen Rui. I didn't even think about hiding it from anyone.

A lot of people know some insider information about this deal.

For example, the price appraisers on both sides, the negotiators, they were involved in the whole process of the transaction, they know very well, such as: The number of bronzes, the assessed price. Details of the transaction and negotiation between the two parties.

There are also some staff members on both sides who also know some information about the deal, but not much.

The next day, this very huge art deal involving 1.2+ billion dollars and 1,240 Xia Dynasty bronzes spread around the world.

Someone revealed to the media that the Chinese side bought back a batch of more than 1,200 Xia Dynasty bronzes from Chen Rui.

These bronze pieces are a fine work.

Among the more than 1,200 bronzes, the lowest appraised price reached 320,000 yuan.

Among them is a bronze sword, a bronze plate, and a bronze tripod, all of which are valued at more than $100 million.

The transaction price of the bronze plate broke the international record for the highest price ever paid for an artifact, approaching $200 million.

There are 7 bronzes with an appraised price of more than 100 million yuan

Some foreign and domestic media and television stations have reported on it.

As soon as the report came out, it caused a very big shock at home and abroad.

The international academic community has expressed great interest in these Xia Dynasty bronzes and has maintained great attention.

However, many people are most interested in why these Xia Dynasty bronzes have been traced back outside of China. How did Chen Rui discover these Xia Dynasty bronzes, where they were found, and how they were discovered.

Compared with art, history, and civilization, adventure, treasure, and treasure hunting are always the things that everyone pays the most attention to.

That's a $1.2 billion treasure.

Because the salvage site is in the waters of the central Atlantic Ocean near the Azores, and the salvage is from a British merchant ship, in order to avoid some troubles, it will cause some international disputes, and the Chinese side remains silent.

Of course, Chen Rui won't say it.

Therefore, it has always been a mystery to many people why these Xia Dynasty bronzes suddenly appeared overseas and where they were found.

Foreign media and scholars have been speculating about the location of these Xia Dynasty bronzes.

The most speculated is that Chen Rui found a shipwreck and found this batch of Xia Dynasty bronzes in the shipwreck.

It's not hard to see why.

Chinese bronzes suddenly appeared overseas, and bronzes did not grow their feet, and ran overseas by themselves.

Most likely, at some point in history, these bronzes were plundered by the invaders and transported back to China by ship, and during the voyage, they encountered bad weather such as storms and huge waves at sea, and sank in a certain sea area, until they were discovered by Chen Rui one day.
