Chapter 920: Ruthless
"So the country is archaeology, and you can be regarded as a thief at most, and your destructive excavation will cause a lot of losses." Liu Wu glanced at Han Peacock and said.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Stealing and digging? Compared to others, my methods are very gentle, especially in the salvage industry, I am not only a novice, but also a flower messenger. â
"You should say it's the Treasure Protector." Han Ronghua said with a smile.
Han Peacock nodded and said, "It's okay to say that,?" In order to obtain huge economic benefits in the auction market, he even ordered the smashing of more than 60,000 pieces of Chinese Hailao porcelain, which brought more than pain and shock to the Chinese people.
A professional treasure hunter who haunts libraries around the world with the passion of a student and devotes his life to finding Chinese shipwrecks in the South China Sea, many salvages have made him the richest salvage man, and there are countless legendary reports about him.
For example, in 1984, 'Goldmarsen', and later porcelain was entrusted to Christie's in the Netherlands, and Hatcher received more than 2ooo dollars.
Domestic experts with 30,000 US dollars to bid, holding the No. 1 plate they enjoy priority, but the result is not even a chance to raise the card, the auction price of porcelain is more than 1o times the estimated price, the whole auction will be bid all the way up, 30,000 US dollars can not be exchanged for a piece of Hailao porcelain, more than 2o pieces of Chinese Hailao porcelain all spent on his family.
Even more surprising is the fact that many porcelains are made in less than a year. It was auctioned off at 1o to 15 times the auction price, and it was the huge financial benefits of the auction that encouraged Hatcher.
In 1999, the "East India Navigation Guide" was the clue to the shipwreck of the Chinese "Taixing".
According to the data, this is a merchant ship carrying more than 1oo pieces of Fu and Jiande porcelain, and finally on May 12, Hatcher surprisingly found a porcelain pile with a height of 4 meters and an area of more than 4oo square meters on the bottom of the sea.
After all the salvage was out of the water, Hatcher smashed more than 6o pieces in order to obtain huge economic benefits, and in the subsequent nine-day German auction, Hatcher received 3ooo US dollars.
It can be said that it is this 'number one treasure hunter' who has pushed China's Hailao porcelain to the forefront of the market. Become the new darling of the auction market. Such a legend, if you don't study it well, I'm really sorry for myself. â
Liu Fu looked at Han Peacock suspiciously, and said, "Why are you talking about this person?" Could it be that this time in the South China Sea, you have followed him? â
Han Peacock shook his head and said, "I'm so restless? â
Liu Fu said: "You are so restless. Let's talk about it!. So who do you want to calculate? I don't believe you're just trying to keep a Gu cultivation cheats that I don't know if I know if I can save zĂ i. sent the Shenlong into the muddy waters of the South China Sea. â
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Liu Wu, who knows me, this time I am dealing with a company called the South China Sea Maritime Archaeology Company. â
Liu Wu thought for a while and said: "Is it the auction on December 1o, 2oo5 and December 16, 2oo6 on Guardian Four Seasons, the provider of the two Hailao porcelain auctions?" I remember that the porcelain in both auctions was from the South Sea Maritime Archaeology Company of the Swede Stan. The company is a Swedish company based in Malaysia, right? â
Han Peacock nodded and said: "This company began to salvage ancient shipwrecks in 199O, and by 2oo5, there were already 1o ancient shipwrecks, the earlier Tanjung Xinban was a shipwreck in the 11th century, and the latest was the Qing Dynasty Disharu was sunk in 183o.
Judging from the 1o shipwreck they salvaged, the trade in the South China Sea in the 9 centuries was mainly Chinese ceramics, until the late 14th century, all the ceramics on the wreck were produced in China, and the ceramics auctioned twice came from the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty in 2oo3, and the wreck of the Qing Dynasty Disharu, the former is mainly blue and white porcelain, the latter is purple sand ware, and there are fewer other glazed porcelain.
Wanli blue and white porcelain types are mostly all kinds of plates, bowls, pots, gourd bottles, lid jars, military holders, etc., purple sand ware is mainly pots, and the transaction price of Wanli is more than 50,000 yuan,,ăă,,
The price of the second Nanhai porcelain auction was significantly higher than that of the ,,,ă
The auction has received the attention of public and private collection institutions in Chinese mainland, and the Henan Museum alone has bid for the blue and white Kaiguang porcelain plate from the 1o component Wanli No. 1, which according to research is produced at the mouth of the Jingdezhen Guanyin Pavilion kiln. â
"So the strength of this company is good, and they have a shipwreck in their hands that you are interested in?" Willow catkins said.
Han Peacock nodded and said: "Most of the porcelain on the shipwreck this time is blue and white porcelain, which has infiltrated salt after soaking in the seabed for hundreds of years, but they only need to be desalted in clear water to make this batch of porcelain intact."
Most of the porcelain salvaged is produced by the folk kiln, and from the perspective of technology, it is the product of Fu, Jianrao and Ping, and the time is about the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty......"
Han Peacock said some general information about porcelain, for details, such as the difference in patterns, these catkins and Han Ronghua are definitely not interested, so Han Peacock just briefly mentioned it, but the value of this batch of porcelain is huge, and Han Peacock has made it clear.
"You snatched it from them?" Liu Wu asked directly.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "I'm not so violent. â
"So how do you do it?" The catkins were also a little curious.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "At that time, there was a nuclear submarine following the Shenlong, so from the nuclear submarine, you can directly dive into the sunken ship." â
"That's stealing? That's a mild approach, so you've already succeeded? Liu Wu said.
Han Peacock smiled even happier: "I have already done it, but if I don't salvage all the things in that sunken ship, wouldn't it be a loss?" â
"You are the kind of typical representative who suffers if you don't pick up the money, now that you have the result, can you leave Yangcheng?" Liu Wu sneered.
Han Peacock said: "Wait a little longer! Although I saw some pictures of porcelain, it was not a real thing after all, and I wanted to see the real thing before returning to the magic capital. â
"You lied to me?" Liu Fu stared at Han Peacock's eyes and said with a smile.
"How so?" Han Peacock said without blinking.
"You must have lied to me, are there still many shipwrecks in the South China Sea?" Liu Fu blinked his eyes and looked at Han Peacock with a smile.
Han Peacock put away his smile and said: "Of course, there are still many shipwrecks over there, but this is not a matter of one or two days, so I am not so greedy, you just wait here for a few days, and the Shenlong will come back in a few days." â
Liu Wu glanced at Han Peacock and said, "I don't believe what you said at all, I don't think you will mention him." â
Han Peacock walked to Liu Wu's side and said to Han Ronghua: "Ronghua, you said that such a smart woman is your sister-in-law, you are lucky!" Or unfortunate. â
"Lucky, of course." Han Ronghua said without hesitation.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Who let him have a lot of clues about the shipwreck in his hands!" â
Seeing that Han Peacock said so naturally, Liu Fu and Han Ronghua were all surprised and couldn't close their mouths.
"Big brother, do you know what you're doing?" Han Ronghua said in disbelief.
Han Peacock looked at Liu Wu, and Liu Wu said: "That guy is a criminal in our eyes, but we have no right to judge him." â
Han Peacock nodded with satisfaction and said, "I don't want to judge him, I just want him to atone for his sins." â
"Where is he now?" Liu Wu said with a little headache.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "You're helping me salvage a sunken ship." â
The reason why Han Peacock kidnapped that Brit was completely lucky, that guy was used to eating sweet persimmons in the South China Sea, so he naturally wouldn't let go of this road to wealth.
Therefore, he took advantage of the arrival of the monsoon to visit the South China Sea again, and happened to be bumped into by Han Peacock's Shenlong.
Han Peacock appointed Bai Xiaoyi and them to collect information on ancient treasures, this part of the South China Sea, is naturally the top priority, for thousands of years, those carrying the dreams of merchants for profit, the desire of the empire to become strong, those many merchant ships sailed from Quanzhou, Yangcheng and other ports to Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East and Africa, many of them sank at the bottom of the sea, waiting for people to dig up the wealth it deposited.
Countries around the world pay attention to the natural Han peacock here, there are more powerful treasure hunters.
Driven by huge commercial interests, there are a large number of "treasure hunters" who specialize in the commercial salvage of underwater cultural relics in the world, and the South China Sea is their "paradise", in the 8o years of the last century, Filipino fishermen found an ancient Chinese shipwreck in the South China Sea in the 15th century, and salvaged a lot of porcelain.
The news spread, and with advanced detection equipment, Hatcher salvaged several shipwrecks in the South China Sea and made a huge profit.
In 1999, he salvaged the Qing Dynasty shipwreck "Taixing", known as the "Titanic of the East", in the South China Sea, in order to facilitate transportation and raise prices, he actually smashed more than 6o pieces of porcelain of ordinary color, and obtained a windfall of 3ooo US dollars.
"One shipwreck and ten ancient tombs" is a phrase in the cultural relics world, and the wealth on the sunken ship has led to a salvage boom at home and abroad.
Of course, now Han Peacock is also one of them, this time, Han Peacock shot very ruthlessly, and the salvage ship of the South China Sea Marine Archaeology Company was directly sent to the bottom of the sea by the Shenlong on a stormy night. (To be continued......)
