Chapter 109 Natural Gemstones
Private collection of antiques is simple, if you don't have a certain amount of financial resources, you can't afford to play, even if you have good things in your hands, it will only be trouble, and the better the things, the bigger the trouble.
Not to mention the maintenance of antiques, just an anti-theft is very fatal, since Jiang Lin has the ability, it is definitely better to put it in the safe than to put it in their museum.
Hearing Han Peacock's promise, Jiang Lin immediately became happy, this time his kung fu was not in vain, sure enough, blindly suppressing could not get the desired result, now change the strategy slightly, and Han Peacock will comply.
Co-opting the large and small collectors of the magic capital was the first idea that Jiang Lin put forward, since he couldn't buy antiques from them, he would cooperate with them.
Private collections are not as protective as large museums, and as long as they are properly enticed, there must be people who are willing to cooperate.
"Brother Han, you have also seen our strength, as long as our museum is built, it will definitely not be small, so we not only absorb the collections in the hands of small collectors, but also have special services for big collectors.
If your collection is large enough, or precious enough, you can set up a separate gallery, so that the income from the exhibition will go to the collector. Jiang Lin tempted again.
"Alone?" Han Peacock was really surprised this time, this Jiang Lin's handiwork is really not small.
"Yes, opening the museum separately, just like the Nine Dragons Sword you hold in your hand, if it is genuine, this one can be included in a separate exhibition hall to display this Nine Dragons Sword.
A treasure like this will definitely attract a large number of people to visit, so our museum must have a discount for such a treasure.
If it is a separate museum, we do not charge a penny for the tickets to the independent exhibition hall, all of which belong to the collectors, but we do not share the income of the entrance tickets of the museum with the collectors. ”
Jiang Lin said a little proudly, he believed that since he loved antiques, there would be absolutely no one who could bear it, and he took out his proud collection to show off.
It turns out that no one does such a thing, just because the wealth is not exposed, but even so, showing off between friends is not uncommon in the antique shop.
"Yes, it seems that you have really put in the effort, if your museum is built, I will definitely cooperate with you." Han Peacock was really moved, he really didn't have a suitable place to collect his collections.
Now he has a small collection, and there is nothing, and as he collects more things in the future, it is impossible to stuff them all into the safe in his basement, right?
And his basement is really not suitable for collecting porcelain, calligraphy and painting or other antiques.
"Hehe, you're excited, right? Brother Han, I won't hide it from you, we spent so much money to build a museum, how can we also want to make a profit, so now we have to try to enhance our strength.
Although we now have a lot of precious classics in our hands, we can't get preferential treatment from the local government by relying on these alone, and if we don't have the support of the local government, we will have to invest a lot of money just to build the land for the museum.
In this way, even if our museum is completed, how young will it be to return to the original?
Therefore, our sincerity has been done enough, I wonder if you can reveal a little bit Brother Dao Han, how many collections do you have in your hands, and how valuable are they? Jiang Lin said.
Han Peacock said: "I haven't been collecting for a long time, so I don't have many things in my hand, but the value is definitely hundreds of millions, I should be qualified to cooperate with you when I say so, right?" ”
"Worth hundreds of millions?" Jiang Lin was stunned.
"Hundreds of millions? What is worth hundreds of millions? ”
"That is, do you have Yuan Qinghua in your hand? That is worth a lot of money, as long as there is a genuine product, it is enough to hundreds of millions. ”
"The young man really has hundreds of millions of collections in his hands? Take it out and let's talk? ”
Some experts who were originally rummaging through the pile of materials on the side heard Han Peacock's words and immediately asked.
At this time, Jiang Lin also reacted: "The collection of hundreds of millions of dollars is definitely not simple, I wonder if Lu Dao can reveal it?" ”
Han Peacock raised the Nine Dragons Sword in his hand and said, "If this thing is real, I don't know if the price of Lu Dao can be hundreds of millions?" ”
"Impossible, we have carefully identified this sword, but from the appearance, we know that it is unlikely that it was cast by Emperor Qianlong, because of hundreds of years of precipitation, it is impossible not to leave any traces of time on this sword." Tall mountain trails.
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Just because of this, you have denied this sword?" ”
Jiang Lin said at this time: "We have checked a lot of real information, and all of them have proved that the Nine Dragons Sword was indeed destroyed with Dai Li. ”
"Authentic information?" Han Peacock scoffed.
"Yes, real information, there's no doubt about that." Jiang Lin said very seriously.
Han Peacock has no opinion on this point, Jiang Lin and they must have a way to check some secret official information, but those official information back then must be true?
"You must think that the Nine Dragons Sword has fallen into the hands of Dai Li? That's the Nine Dragons Sword! Qianlong's portable sword, a priceless treasure, is it possible that Sun Dianying is willing to give it to Ma Hansan at Beiping Station?
And then Ma Hansan was willing to give this sword to Dai Li? And after Dai Li's plane crashed, you must be sure that the drunk person who handled it was not a troublemaker?
Also, Shen Zui wasn't the first to arrive at the scene at that time, right? As if legend has it that Shen drunk the Nine Dragons Sword that he recovered from a local farmer, when the Nine Dragons Sword had already been burned?
As long as there is a problem in any of these links, this Nine Dragons Sword may be saved. Han Peacock said with a smile.
It is very possible that Han Peacock said this, so no one in the audience raised objections for a while.
Gao Dashan took a serious look at the Nine Dragons Sword and said: "We also thought of what you said at the time, but these are all speculations, the most important thing is the thing, this sword is too new, although it is completely consistent with the recorded Nine Dragons Sword, but the age of the thing is wrong, even if it looks like it, what can it be?" ”
Han Peacock smiled, he smiled very proudly: "Looking at new things, they are not necessarily made in modern times, just like this sword is one of them, and I have encountered such things several times, they are all new on the outside, but they are genuine antiques." ”
"We've done carbon fourteen identification, and the carbon fourteen of this sword has not decayed at all, so it's definitely a modern imitation." Jiang Lin couldn't help but say at this time.
Han Peacock smiled: "Do you know the principle of the identification of carbon 14 in the Dao Dao?" ”
Without waiting for Jiang Lin to answer, Han Peacock said again: "The identification method of carbon 14 relies on the radioactive carbon-14 produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere to identify.
This radioactive carbon 14 can be combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and enter all living tissues, first by plants and then by animals.
As long as plants or animals are alive, they will continue to absorb carbon-14 and maintain a certain level in the body.
When the organism dies, it stops breathing carbon-14, and the carbon-14 in its tissues begins to decay and gradually disappear with a half-life of 5730 years.
For any carbon-containing substance, the age of any carbon-containing material can be inferred by determining the amount of radiocarbon-14 that remains.
However, there are errors in this method, and sometimes the errors are very large, up to several hundred years.
Although the conventional technique of carbon 14 dating has played an important role in the development of archaeology, the shortcomings of this technique have also been inconvenient for archaeologists since its inception.
One is that it needs a relatively large number of specimens, and not everything can provide so many specimens, and of course it cannot be used to date some cultural relics that need to be dated.
Moreover, its accuracy is still not enough, and the older the specimen, the greater the error, sometimes reaching hundreds of years, you must think that there is no error in your identification? ”
"You also said that the farther the age of something, the greater the error in identification, this sword has only been in the sky for two or three hundred years, and the error will not be very large." Jianglin Road.
"Okay, let's not dwell on that, there's one obvious place, haven't you all noticed?" Han Peacock carefully stroked the gems on the Nine Dragons Sword.
This sword is a total of 5 feet, the hilt is extraordinarily long, carved with 9 golden dragons, each golden dragon is carved lifelike, but these nine dragons are not ordinary people can carve out, it is too far-fetched to say that it is a high imitation.
In addition to these, the scabbard of this sword is made of precious shark skin and is encrusted with ruby sapphires and diamonds, which alone are priceless.
"What? Could it be that there is still evidence on this sword that proves that it is genuine? "Gao Dashan, Qin Dake, they all gathered over.
This time, Han Peacock really smiled: "Have you seen the gem on this sword?" ”
"You're saying these gems are worth a lot of money, right? No one is so stupid, right? Since the sword is a modern imitation, could these gemstones be natural gemstones? There are countless ways to make such beautiful gemstones, artificial diamonds, treated ruby sapphires, which are not worth much. Jiang Lin said.
Han Peacock's eyes have changed when he looks at Jiang Lin at this time, this Jiang Lin is still very smart, but sometimes his brain will make mistakes, and he can't turn around, it seems that he was misled by these old experts here!
"Have you identified these gems? I don't know who is good at gemstones here, you can identify whether these are natural gemstones? If it's a natural gemstone, you say someone would be stupid enough to use so many precious natural gemstones to create a fake? Han Peacock said unhurriedly.
Seeing Han Peacock's calm appearance, Gao Dashan and Qin Dake all sighed in their hearts, feeling as if something bad was going to happen.
