Chapter 39: The Second Carriage
It was not until the afternoon of the next day, when the appraisal was about to end, that a real fake appeared.
Several experts took turns inspecting this Crusades-era two-handed sword, which was one of the most precious artifacts in the collection due to its exquisite craftsmanship and good preservation, with the only flaw being the slightly damaged hilt.
Including Professor Lang, after reading it, they were all silent, in a state of careful thinking.
Lu Zaiyuan rubbed his hand vigorously on his lips, but for a long time, he asked Chen Yidao: "Are you sure it is not a knight's sword from the 12th century, or the 13th century?" ”
"Here in the middle of the hilt, it's definitely not." Chen Yi shrugged his shoulders and said secretly in his heart, at least a product of the 18th century.
"How did the Vatican do this kind of moth?" Lu Zaiyuan scolded in his hometown. He followed the whole process for the past two days, and he also believed in the judgment of this young man, although there was no hair on his mouth, but he could judge the age, but it was more accurate than the cat's whiskers.
Moreover, after Chen Yi raised questions, the professional and slow instrument identification also strongly supported his guess. The upper and lower parts of the sword are 900 years old, except for the part where the hilt is connected, which was forged in the 18th century.
In other words, it was a member of the Church hundreds of years ago, or a nobleman who first faked it, and then it was added to the collection.
Even the German professor shook his head in disbelief: "If they had systematically restored cultural relics in the 18th century, it should not have no records at all, but it was too unreasonable to spend a lot of money on fraud in that era." It's not easy to fix it with the technology of the day. ”
He looked at the knight's sword over and over again, as a descendant of the Germanic people, Karl was very fond of knightly weapons, even though they had used them to attack the Papal States.
Professor Lang is very accustomed to saying: "Fraud is human nature. ”
He waited for another instrument report, then read it over and over again, and said: "On the good side, except for this heavy sword, the other cultural relics are considered genuine, and whether to report it or not is up to Director Lu to decide." ”
Some of the objects they had found earlier that did not match the date, or were not uniform in style, but they were all within the understandable changes, only this knight's sword, which was too outrageously floating. An 18th-century restoration is fundamentally different from an original perfect 12th-century knight's heavy sword, and the price figures for its insurance will make a clear difference.
However, Lu Zaiyuan didn't worry too much, just said helplessly: "It's another pile of paperwork, I guess the above will only be if you haven't heard of it." ”
After all, he still has to write a report.
The gentlemen who have been in this business for a long time all smiled understandingly, took a break, and everyone continued to identify the remaining antiques, only Chen Yi took a look absentmindedly, took a look, and then threw it out......
Lu Fan's eyes lit up with envy, and he thought: How can there be such a big difference between people and people, he doesn't have to look at it seriously, he just has no mistakes, how can he not touch his head no matter how he sees it.
At 5:30 p.m., before closing, the management of the Jiangning Museum all appeared to officially receive the cultural relics from the Vatican, and among the members of the other party's mission, there happened to be a handsome foreign guy.
Chen Yi smiled strangely at Steinecker, and then whispered to Professor Lang: "Professor, I want a fossil of Archaeopteryx's contemporary, then what Curator Lu promised before, you have to help me implement it." ”
"No problem, a fossil, what do you want?"
"Within the range, a little closer to Archaeopteryx?"
This request made Professor Lang scratch his head, he moved his body, avoided the eyes of the representative who was handing over, and thought for a long time: "It is said that pterosaurs are the most similar in biological form, but the age is far away, and this kind of fossil is also more precious......
"How precious?" Hearing the word pterodactyl, Chen Yi's intuition was useful.
"Hundreds of thousands or millions, but Lu Zaiyuan can't decide whether to buy or sell fossils." Professor Lang saw Chen Yi's thoughts, and said: "The price of fossil collections in the world is not high, and the research value of fossils that have been named is not very large. The kind that is worth tens of thousands of yuan, he can't be stingy. ”
Chen Yi wanted a fossil because there were traces of Archaeopteryx on the piece of paper he picked up in the subway, and he wanted to try it to see what was special. It's hard to say whether any fossil can achieve its purpose.
He pondered for a moment and said, "How about that?" Let's talk to Director Lu about the exchange. First of all, I paid for a similar pterosaur fossil, and then he used the money to buy the equivalent of the collectible, so it wasn't a pure transaction. How about the total value controlled within 500,000? ”
"You're really in a hurry." This kind of method is by no means the first one created by Chen Yi. It takes a lot of effort to put it on someone else, but for Professor Lang, as long as he wants to, it is very simple to achieve.
He didn't shirk either, nodded and responded.
At the end of the handover, Professor Lang told Lu Zaiyuan, who only hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
But the handsome guy had very sharp ears, and he seemed to hear the words "fossil" from a distance, so he fixed his eyes on Chen Yi's face for some reason......
Chen Yi didn't care, what if he knew. There are many people in this world who have fossils, but I am afraid that the only one who can access the magical world is himself.
22:30 p.m.
Chen Yi seemed to be moving his family, he was carrying a large bag high one person high on his shoulders, a half-person-high box in his left hand, and a half-person-high box in his right hand, almost 500 pounds of things, which he dragged into the subway.
It wasn't until he looked inside that he laid it out, opened the box, and leaned it against the door, ready to wait until he reached San Chio.
Unexpectedly, this wave of subway was surprisingly slow, and Chen Yi even thought that he was taking the wrong train.
At this time, his backpack suddenly lit up, and the door at the front of the subway was also flashing.
Fossil!
Chen Yi thought of this and quickly untied his backpack. The only thing he carried with him was the 15-kilogram pterosaur fossil he had just gotten.
It seems that the 270,000 yuan was not spent in vain.
The size of the pterosaurs varied greatly, the smallest forest pterosaur was comparable to modern birds, the largest was 12 meters wide, and the fossils he chose were mainly complete, which originally looked a little gray and not easy to find the skeleton, but now there is a bright light around it, showing a dinosaur vividly.
Without thinking too much about it, Chen Yi came to the shiny door with the fossil in his hand, and felt the huge suction force with his hand slightly forward.
The pterosaur bones on the fossil were gradually extracted, reassembled into a flying state with its head held high in mid-air, and then slowly pasted forward.
At the same time, a line of handwriting appeared on the glass of the next door: 10 times 110% satisfaction transactions, 1% genetic completion, and the second stage was opened.
In the first part, Chen Yi understands, not counting this time, he has been back and forth to the Sanchio Empire exactly 10 times, and the so-called 110% satisfaction transaction probably shows the satisfaction of both parties.
But what is the completion of genes and the opening of the second stage?
While he was thinking, the door had sucked in all the pterosaurs that had been withdrawn, leaving some rock fragments scattered in the subway.
Chen Yi subconsciously looked at the ground, and when he raised his head again, the door in front of him had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
He unconsciously thought that if the thieves could have such skills, they would not complain if they could make a fortune.
In front of me, there is another smooth subway car.
……
Shitori: The recommended ticket is the same as safflower oil, not only has a warranty period, but also an expiration date for use. When it hurts, you wipe it to me, and you snort it happily twice, and then wipe it when it doesn't hurt, and you can only hear the washing machine screaming...... The new book period is equivalent to the early childhood, bruises and injuries are inevitable, and if you don't apply oil, you will be disabled when you grow up...... I want a ticket!
