**************
Butler, who had been keeping a straight face, also had a smile on his face at this time, and then also took out a laptop.
"Do you have a bank account in Luxembourg or Liechtenstein?"
Everyone is in the circle, and Jin Muchen won't go around in circles, and sure enough, Butler nodded with a smile.
"Of course ......"
The transfer was completed quickly, and then Butler was very attentive to help Jin Muchen install the pair of celestial globes and globes.
The box is also a special shockproof box, plus two globes, the weight is enough to weigh dozens of catties, Jin Muchen carried the box and walked out of the greenhouse, at this time the sky outside was already bright.
Jin Muchen looked at his phone, it was already around half past six, carrying a box of such a weight, Jin Muchen had no interest in continuing to Taobao, and now he just wanted to hurry back to the hotel and study the pair of treasures.
He also knows that it is already quite lucky to be able to meet such a treasure in his hand in such a market, and even if he goes on shopping, he may not be able to meet a better one.
So I walked around the market hastily and went out of the market and returned to the hotel.
The first thing I did when I got back to the hotel was to take the pair of celestial globes and globes out of the box.
Placed on the table, took a good look at it, and then began to disassemble the globe, Jin Muchen felt that there must be some secrets hidden in the pair of celestial globes and globes.
If you take a closer look, you might be able to discover the origin of these two treasures inside.
The previous masters, apparently, were reluctant to disassemble the celestial globe and the globe because of their extraordinary origins, because this was a very precious treasure after all.
And this is a treasure with a history of two or three hundred years, if it is not a knowledgeable expert, if it is dismantled randomly, a bad one, it will destroy this treasure, so that the value of this treasure will be greatly reduced.
So the original owners of the celestial globe and the globe must have never disassembled them.
However, this is not a problem at all for Jin Muchen, who has a purple jade space with magical repair ability.
Both spheres are fixed to a pure gold base with guò latch pins, and although they are two or three hundred years old, the bolts are still very strong and tightly screwed.
If ordinary people want to disassemble, unless with the help of special tools, it is difficult to screw the latch, and if one is not good, the latch will be broken.
But this tightness is not a problem at all for Jin Muchen, who is now amazingly powerful, but with a few efforts, he unscrewed the latch pin, and then dismantled the two spheres from the fixed latch pin.
At this time, after taking a closer look at the pure gold base and the connected latch, I found a clue to the meaning, and on the latch, there was a line of text engraved on the latch, which looked like a foreigner's name.
Jin Muchen took a magnifying glass, and copied the name of one letter, one letter, this name is not English, but it should also be a Germanic language.
Thanks to the almighty Google, he soon found out the origin of the name.
Anders. Ackermann was one of the most famous cartographers in Sweden and Europe in the 18th century, and his best skill was the making of globes, many of which are now popular in the antique market.
A few years ago, a 50-centimeter-diameter globe made by him specifically for the Swedish royal family was auctioned for a sky-high price of 3 million US dollars.
However, this pair of celestial globes and globes are much smaller than the previous one in terms of volume, but they are a pair, a celestial globe and a globe.
Jin Muchen estimated that even if he couldn't figure out the origin of this pair of celestial globes and globes, just because of this family, how could this pair of treasures be millions, just by seeing this, he knew that he had spent $300,000 unjustly today.
Pick up the two spheres, get started with a heavy hand, I don't know what material is made of, the globe is such a thing, in Europe and the United States in the collection of a very high status, almost equivalent to fine porcelain, in the domestic collection of the status of the world.
Because this thing, as long as it is genuine in the eighteenth century, it must be an extraordinary treasure, after all, in those days, not everyone could have a globe in their home.
At least it is also a noble family, so that there can be such a thing.
This is the most popular collection for European and American collectors who like to pay attention to collectibles, inheritance, and origin, as long as there is a clear record of the origin, then the value of this globe will immediately turn around.
The two spheres are very symmetrical, and it is quite a remarkable thing to know that two or three hundred years ago, when there were no computer-controlled machine tools that could carry out precision machining, it was quite a remarkable thing to be able to rely on hand-made zuò to produce such a rounded and almost perfect sphere.
And unlike now, today's globes generally use the material to make spheres, because they are light and cheap, and at that time, there were no such materials.
At that time, most of the globe spheres were made of wood, and when they first appeared in globes, because of the roundness of the spheres and the limitations of the processing technology at that time, the first globes generally used pure copper cast spheres.
However, the sphere is huge, very heavy, and cannot be rotated, and the second is because the cost is too expensive, and the post-processing is very cumbersome and troublesome, and it has to be polished for a long time.
Therefore, in the eighteenth century, the dignitaries simply selected some skilled craftsmen to make globes out of wood.
The pair of celestial globes and globes are obviously made of wood, and they should be made of selected Swedish spruce wood.
This kind of wood is characterized by low scarring rate, and it is not easy to warp when polishing and polishing, and it is resistant to storage, and it is a high-end precious wood, which only wealthy families can afford to use at that time.
These two spheres, don't look at the volume is not very large, but they are heavy in the hand, which shows that the wood is very real.
Jin Muchen picked up the two spheres and shook them, the inside of the sphere was empty, there was nothing, he was slightly disappointed, and then took a strong flashlight, followed the place where the latch passed, and irradiated it inside, and the inside of the sphere was dug into a cavity, but this look really found a clue, and there seemed to be words on the inner wall of the cavity of the sphere.
Is there a word in the sphere? How did that word get into the sphere?
He put down the globe, took the celestial globe and began to rotate and study, and sure enough, in the middle of the sphere, he found a joint that could be twisted.
Just like playing gacha, I grabbed the upper and lower halves, and gently pressed in opposite directions, and after a few tests, sure enough, in a harsh sound of wooden friction, the celestial globe was unscrewed and split into two halves like a flat-cut watermelon.
And the font on the upper part of the cavity of the sphere is also exposed.
Jin Muchen happily picked up the flashlight and shone it on these words, and then excerpted all these fonts one by one, but this time, these words were not Swedish words, but French.
He typed all these words into Google and translated them word by word, and it turned out to be a love poem.
Translated, it roughly means that you are like the stars in the sky, and I can only look up to you on the earth, although it is unreachable, but you will always live in my heart.
The poem is dedicated to a woman named Enville, and look at the byline below, Gustav!
Seeing this, Jin Muchen's heart was shocked, could it be the most controversial Gustav III in Swedish history?
Then I quickly typed the name Enville into Google, and sure enough, a series of information was displayed.
And he guessed correctly, this woman was the daughter of Rochefoucauld, the trade minister of King Louis XV of France in the eighteenth century.
Gustav III, who was not yet the king of Sweden, went to Paris to study, and once played a set of private visits in Weifu, and became a noble duke under the pseudonym of living in her home.
Then between the boy and the girl, naturally something happened that should have happened, but because of Gustav's identity, his fate was arranged by the family from birth.
So later he had to return to the country on the orders of his family, and Sophia, the daughter of King Frederick X of Denmark. Magdalena got married.
But although he got married, he never forgot the woman he was in France, and the two kept in touch.
Later, after he completely crossed the nobles in the country and regained the royal power, he did not forget to show his love to that woman, and often asked the craftsmen of the Swedish royal family to create some fine gifts, and then send them to the woman.
This Swedish king is famously the seed of affection.
Now seeing the love letter written by this amorous seed to that woman in this celestial globe, Jin Muchen basically has an inference in his heart.
This pair of celestial globes and globes should be this Gustav III, Jean Anders. Ackerman, the well-crafted baby, then gave the gift to that lover he was in Paris.
And this pair of gifts, which should not have been unveiled before, should have been hidden by the descendants of his mistress, otherwise just such a fine globe, coupled with this lace history, if this treasure came out, it would have become the finale of various auctions.
And later, this pair of treasures, probably didn't know what way to get through, lost from the hands of the descendants of the French woman, and finally ended up in the United States, and maybe they didn't even know which countries they had been to before?
But no matter what, the pair of treasures are now in their own hands, and they can finally see the light of day again.
If I hadn't had the courage to open this celestial globe, I don't know when I would see the light of day again?
Now the inheritance of this pair of treasures has finally been revealed! R1152
