Chapter 326: Earn Big
After more than an hour, Gu Ming made a mark that only had a rough shape, marking a circle along the base of the elephant ornament, which looked very rough. [Marshmallow]
"Found a place to start?" Professor Wang stepped forward and asked.
Gu Ming glanced at the irregular circle that she had marked, and said to Professor Wang: "I just figured it out by feeling and found a place with a sound difference from it, but it looks ......."
Professor Wang smiled and said to Gu Ming: "It's good to be able to do this, but your efficiency is too low, and you haven't figured it out for more than an hour." I ask you, is this thing an antique? ”
"It's not." Gu Ming shook his head.
"Could it be some kind of antique what's hidden here?" Professor Wang asked again.
Gu Ming shook his head uncertainly: "It shouldn't be, the purity of the ivory cast in gold is so high, at first glance, it is not made by the smelting process in ancient times, I estimate that this thing should be deliberately made by someone to hide gold in this way." ”
"In that case, why are you still talking so long-winded?" Professor Wang smiled, walked in front of Gu Ming, took the elephant ornament marked by Gu Ming into his hand, picked up the small hammer and knocked it like Gu Ming, listened to the sound for a while, and then remarked the general range.
After doing all this, Professor Wang took out a set of tools from a box and cut the elephant ornaments.
Gu Ming suddenly came to her senses when she saw Professor Wang's action.
That's right, she has been making it for a long time to get the gold in the elephant ornament, and the most important thing now is to take out the gold, not to keep the gold hidden in the elephant ornament intact!
There was no need for her to be so careful for a long time. It is completely possible to cut the elephant ornament directly, and you can see if there is anything in it.
Professor Wang neatly separated the elephant's body from the base, and found that the weight of the base was indeed a little unusual, while the weight of the elephant itself was normal, so it can be seen that if the elephant ornament really hides gold, it is also hidden in this base.
Thinking of this, Professor Wang also came to the spirit.
Although he reminded Gu Ming that he could actually cut the base directly without worrying so much, as a person who had been careful to explain to all kinds of antiques for a long time, he still did not start without any scruples, but added a few more strokes on the basis of Gu Ming's mark.
Professor Wang is very particular about where he starts. Shallowly cut a corner around the base, there was nothing unusual in the first stroke, and Professor Wang cut very carefully in the next few strokes, only cutting a little bit at a time, until finally the golden part was exposed in the cut place.
"Sure enough, it's in this pedestal!" Gu Ming said in surprise.
Professor Wang stopped what he was doing. Stretched out his finger and touched the part that revealed the gold: "It seems to be a gold bar hidden inside, you see there is a gap between the gold and this base itself, there should be a groove in this base." Put in the gold and then cover the seal. ”
Gu Ming bent down and looked carefully at the place Professor Wang was pointing at, and sure enough, he saw some small gaps, and the top of the gaps was sealed. No wonder there is nothing unusual from the outside.
The part of the people who exposed the gold surprised Gu Ming, and the thickness was at least 1cm. If it is really the gold bar that Professor Wang said, then the weight of this gold bar is really considerable.
Some people say that gold is vulgar, but most people will go crazy about such a cheesy thing with a large piece in front of them.
Gu Ming is obviously not so high, but she regards gold as dung, she is so excited at this time that she can't wait to pull out the gold bars inside.
It's just that the gold bar is very tightly inlaid, and there is no way to make it slip out of such a notch.
Professor Wang seemed to sense the excitement in Gu Ming's heart, and briefly estimated it. Then I re-marked and started cutting with tools again.
This time, Professor Wang's movements were much faster than before, but he was still very careful when he started. () Try not to damage the gold bars hidden inside the base.
Although Professor Wang didn't do much of this kind of work, he was much more familiar with it than Gu Ming. It took less than an hour to cut what should have been cut.
Bang dang!
With this crisp sound, the last piece of copper tightly wrapped around the gold bar was cut off, and the rectangular gold bar was revealed.
The gold bars that have not been specially polished and polished do not emit a striking luster, and there are no patterns and marks on the simple gold bars, but Gu Ming and Professor Wang, who are also standing next to them, can't take their eyes off them.
The length of the gold bar was less than Gu Ming's palm, and it was as wide as two knuckles, and it seemed that it should be at least 1cm thick.
Gu Ming's heart was pounding, she had seen a lot of treasures, and there were more valuable things in her hands than the gold in front of her, but this was a gold bar, and it was a gold bar, and it was not a light gold bar, which had a different impact on her than those antiques had on her.
"Look silly?" Professor Wang saw that Gu Ming didn't squeak for a long time, just looked at the gold bars so blankly, and couldn't help but joke with a smile.
For the gold bar in front of him, Professor Wang's eyes showed joy and affirmation of his cutting skills, but there was no greed.
His family's background is not thin, and he is not without gold bars, so he will not be dazzled by such a gold bar in front of him, not to mention that this gold bar is owned by Gu Ming.
"It's really a gold bar...... Gu Ming almost couldn't believe her eyes.
Professor Wang shook his head with a smile, ignoring Gu Ming, who was still in shock, and instead took the cut elephant body in his hand and checked it, and found that there was nothing strange about the weight of the elephant's body, so he took off the two gold-cast tusks inlaid in the elephant's mouth, and then cut the elephant's body open, and found no difference.
"It seems that the gold is hidden in the base of the elephant, and the body is solid, and there is nothing hidden." Professor Wang put the two tusks next to the gold bar and said to Gu Ming.
At this moment, Gu Ming had already woken up from her surprise. Looking at the gold bars and two tusks on the table, there were only three words in my head.
Earn big!
"Professor Wang, cut the other ornament as well!" Gu Ming hurriedly put another intact ornament in front of Professor Wang.
This time, Professor Wang didn't let Gu Ming come to find a place to start by himself, but knocked it with a small hammer, and after making a few marks in a short answer, he started to cut it.
The elephant ornament is not big, Professor Wang has already cut one before, and this second one is more convenient to cut, and it only took more than half an hour to take out the gold bar in the base.
Of course, he didn't forget the elephant body of this elephant ornament, just in case, he still cut it open and looked at it. The result is the same as the previous elephant ornament, the elephant's body is solid, and there is nothing hidden in it.
With the removal of these two gold bars and four gold tusks, the weight of the two elephant ornaments was drastically reduced and returned to normal levels.
"This may have been made by someone for the sake of money. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. Professor Wang sorted out the gold bars and gold ivory, then put them into a box and handed them to Gu Ming's hand: "This is a good thing." Take it out and make some gold bracelets, gold necklaces or something, it's no problem at all. ”
"Thank you, Professor Wang!" Gu Ming looked at the gold bars and gold ivory in the box with joy.
She originally thought that Professor Wang would help take out the gold from the elephant ornament, and whether she would give some gold to Professor Wang, but she thought that it would be a little cheesy to do so, and heard Professor Wang say that she would make a gold bracelet. She immediately thought that she could take some of the gold and order gold jewelry for Professor Wang, and give it away to save face when the time came. Professor Wang couldn't refuse her.
Professor Wang didn't know that Gu Ming, who was holding the gold, was already thinking about customizing gold jewelry for him at this time, and told him carefully: "We found gold from the elephant ornament, so don't tell other people, either hide it quietly, or find an opportunity to buy some gold jewelry you like, or sell it directly." ”
"I know this, except for me and Professor Wang, only Qin Sheng knows that there is gold in elephants." Gu Ming replied.
"Qin Sheng is still worth believing, but it's better to be careful in everything, just pay attention to yourself." Professor Wang said.
Gu Ming nodded. Say you know.
Gu Ming had no intention of selling these two gold bars and four gold tusks, after all, she was not in a hurry to use the money now, and it was not cost-effective to sell gold with room for appreciation. And both men and women, young and old, have a preference for gold jewelry. Some time ago, when Gu Ming accompanied Han Lu to go shopping, she also went to the gold store, thinking about buying a gold necklace for her mother, but before she could act, the gold was delivered to the door by herself.
After solving the problem of elephant ornaments, Professor Wang received a phone call and was in a hurry to go out to run errands, so he politely declined Gu Ming's request to dinner, saying that it would be the same next time he had the opportunity to eat.
Gu Ming saw that Professor Wang was really anxious, so he nodded and agreed, letting Professor Wang go first, while he stayed and took the initiative to clean up the studio, sorted out all the tools he used before, and then locked the door of the studio, took the gold and prepared to go home.
In the past, she didn't let go of something more valuable than this bit of gold, but the feeling in her heart was completely different, and the whole person was still a little fluttery when she sat in the car.
Just when she was about to call Qin Sheng on the road, she saw a familiar figure on the side of the road waving to stop a taxi, so she temporarily dispelled the idea of calling Qin Sheng and drove the car over.
