Chapter 0050: Fake Archaeological Captain
Chapter 0050 Fake Archaeology Captain
At noon the next day, Guiguzi called and informed us to meet us at the Hilton Hotel.
Guiguzi opened two luxury suites in Hilton - 1606 and 1608. When I entered, Guiguzi, Heilong and Kai Ge were already in room 1608, and Kai Ge had a new haircut and changed his clothes, which was more than a few levels higher than the previous sloppy.
There were three wooden boxes on the carpet, the lid was open, and when he saw me coming in, Guiguzi instructed Heilong and Kaige to take out the contents of the box, but there were three bronzes, one Chunyu, one Chu-style copper tripod and one copper gui. The shape and ornamentation are very authentic, but the skin color is too dark, and the rust is a little floating.
"This is a product made by Qishan, Shaanxi, what is Mr. Pi's opinion?" Guiguzi said after waiting for me to look at it for a while.
"It's really good, but the skin color and rust are a bit problematic. "I analyze objectively.
"This is made with reference to the data on the cultural relics excavation report with the lost wax method, and also specially imitated the fan line, the rust is scraped off from the old metal utensils and pasted with raw lacquer, and the strong acid was buried in the ground for half a year before it was taken out, even the rust is real, two of them also made gold letters, and the cost of these things alone cost out of 100,000 yuan. ”
Guiguzi is obviously very satisfied with the three works, and when I look at the two golden texts, they are two intercepted from Mao Gongding.
"But there is still a problem, these three things belong to two different regions, how can they be explained to others in the name of the archaeological excavation site in the Three Gorges area?" I asked another difficult question.
"Then it's up to Mr. Pi to use your professional knowledge to convince the other party. "Guiguzi handed me back the burden.
"Don't blame me for messing up. "I'll find a way out first.
"We're grasshoppers on a rope now, who's to blame? "Guiguzi's idiosyncrasy, I don't know if it's to decompress or put pressure on me.
There were still two hours before the agreed meeting time with the boss in Hebei, Guiguzi explained some details that were not considered last night, and asked some questions from the other party's perspective according to the roles we played, fortunately, my answer was satisfactory to him, but Kai Ge acted a little too much, and was criticized by Guiguzi.
As the time of meeting approached, my heart became more and more apprehensive.
Since I was a child, my parents taught me to be honest, but now for my own interests, I have to go along with others to do things that harm others and benefit myself, and I am really uneasy.
But when I thought that the bosses bought these things to bribe government officials, it was also an unseemly thing, and it was not a sin to get some fake things to sell to them, and I felt a little better.
There were a total of five people on the other side, and the two of them who walked in the middle seemed to be bosses. Judging from the outfit, one is wearing a mink fur jacket, a huge Vacheron Constantin watch on his left wrist, and a string of chains on his right wrist, while the other is a little more fashionable, a black leather close-fitting top, a light gray Armani-style scarf around his neck, and a watch on his hand, which is not recognizable, only a ring on his finger, and a pair of popular Gucci beanie shoes at his feet, his expression is more cold than the other's.
The one who followed them closer to them couldn't see the calendar, he was small and lean, he also wore a black shirt, but it was a Chinese-style stand collar, he held a string of beads in his right hand, and he also wore a string of beads on his wrist.
The other two are very easy to judge, similar to the role of the black dragon - bodyguard and driver.
Brother Kai watched the five people come in, then slowly got up from the sofa, stepped forward, stretched out his hands, first held the local tyrant in the mink suit, and listened to Guiguzi's introduction called Mr. Wang; then held the second one called Mr. Kan with both hands, and let the two of them sit on the three-person sofa seat, and sat on the sofa close to Mr. Wang, and the Chinese-style man in black with a stand-up collar sat on the sofa near Mr. Kan's unit.
Then Guiguzi introduced them one by one to Mr. Li (the original surname of Brother Kai was Li), Mr. Pi, and Heilong. What makes me wonder is: why Guiguzi didn't say Captain Pi or Teacher Pi when he introduced me, but became Mr. Pi, thinking that he was nervous and negligent.
Mr. Wang only introduced the Chinese-style stand-up collar black-clothed man next to him called Master Huang, and we understood that it turned out to be a master or Mr. Yin and Yang.
After the introduction of the two sides, Guiguzi instructed the black dragon to put the three things that had been put away one by one to the marble coffee table in front of the sofa, put one on it, Guiguzi explained to them the name, function and value of this one, and after the three pieces were finished one by one, he took out a pack of Supreme Yellow Crane Tower and smoked one by one, but did not send it to the black dragon, and the black dragon took out one from the cigarette box thrown on the coffee table, and lit it in his mouth.
"Such a good thing, why doesn't Mr. Li keep it for himself?"
"Alas, I don't want to keep it for myself, I can't keep it!" Brother Kai sighed.
"Is there anything unspeakable about Mr. Li?" Mr. Kan continued to ask.
"Something happened at home, and I urgently needed a lot of money. Brother Kai continued to sigh, with a sad face.
"Then why don't you mortgage these things for a loan or loan?" Strange, why does Mr. Kan always ask about these things that have nothing to do with buying and selling, and Mr. Li is obviously unwilling to answer.
"This thing can't be taken out to evaluate the mortgage, the family should be sold out of the mortgage, there are three cars, this is not only left for the trip" After speaking, he pointed to the Porsche car key on the coffee table.
"Oh, so that's the case, is it possible to solve the problem through the relationship dredging the official?" Mr. Kan still didn't talk about the things on the coffee table, showing that he was very concerned about Mr. Li's affairs.
"The situation in Chongqing is very tense now, many brothers have entered, and if the situation develops further, these things may also be confiscated, and it will also affect people. I have to admire Brother Kai's acting skills, and answer freely under Mr. Kan's questions.
"Li is always a well-known entrepreneur in Chongqing, who used to buy goods from me, and is a person who loves the past like his life, and he will not give away these treasures unless he has to. This was entrusted to me a few days ago, and it just so happened that the two CEOs came to buy gifts, so I introduced them to you. Guiguzi was afraid that Mr. Kan would continue to ask Brother Kai to show his face, so he hurriedly interjected, and at the same time added: "Originally, I made an appointment with two Hong Kong guests to come to see things, but if you two came to Yiling, I postponed them." ”
"Are these things reliable?" Mr. Wang finally went straight to the point.
"Didn't I tell you on the phone? It's something that flowed from the archaeological site of the Three Gorges. Guiguzi handed over a key sentence.
"But when I look at a few things, they seem to be a little inconsistent, and two of them seem to be Chu-style. How could something from the Chu State be unearthed in the Three Gorges area?" Master Huang finally spoke, and hit the nail on the head.
"Generally speaking, the Three Gorges area belongs to the Ba cultural area, but in ancient times, there were exchanges between Ba and Chu, such as this Chunyu, which is a typical vessel of Ba culture, but it is occasionally unearthed in the Chu region. "Fortunately, we were prepared in advance and had a rehearsal.
"But it may be a bit abnormal for two Chu bronzes to be unearthed at the same time at a construction site, right?" Master Huang seems to have read some cultural relics and books, and he also has some understanding of ancient culture, and his problem is fatal to people who do not have a certain knowledge of history and archaeology.
"...... on this issue"
"Mr. Pi ...... "I was thinking about how to answer, but Guiguzi interjected and stopped me.
"This skin is always ......" Mr. Kan looked at Guiguzi, but Guiguzi didn't talk immediately, looking at Master Huang and the two bodyguards.
"I'm all my own family here, so I don't need to shy away from it. Mr. Wang probably understood what Guiguzi meant, and Guiguzi still cautiously put his mouth to Mr. Wang's ear, muttering a few words, I think it may be about my true identity as the "Three Gorges Archaeological Captain", and only then did I understand the deep meaning of Guiguzi calling me Mr. Pi.
And this interjection won me time to think, because this question had not been rehearsed beforehand, and I had to admire Guiguzi's wit.
"Oh, no wonder Mr. Pi understands this at a young age. Mr. Wang suddenly realized.
"At first, I didn't understand what the truth was, but after reading these two golden texts, I understood what was going on, it turned out that these two Chu artifacts were given to the king of Ba when Chu married his daughter, in fact, there are more than these two. With such an identity, I started talking nonsense, but I didn't expect to receive miraculous results.
......
Master Huang and Mr. Kan began to carefully examine the utensils on the coffee table, and after a while, Master Huang spoke again: "Why is the skin color of these things so black, and it is a little different from the normal unearthed bronzes?"
"This is because a lot of mercury was injected into the tomb, and the mercury vapor oxidized the surface of the artifact to form a layer of silver rust, which is called mercury ancient or black lacquer ancient color. "Because I had rehearsed this question beforehand, I answered it fluently.
"It's also Ha, the historical records say that the tomb of Qin Shi Huang was filled with a lot of mercury, the so-called "to make a hundred rivers and seas with Xuanxi," is this reason, it is said that it can not only prevent tomb robbery, but also make the corpse not rot. "Master Huang took over my topic, and at the same time showed his erudition by the way, fortunately he is also a half-ass, if he is really an expert, it will be troublesome.
"Then how much does Mr. Li pay for these things?" Mr. Wang finally waited impatiently, and didn't even continue to ask the question of rust.
"Six million. Mr. Li stretched out his thumb and little finger.
"It's too expensive," Mr. Wang said in passing.
"If you don't wait for the money, at least that's the amount. Kai Ge used his thumb and index finger to compare an eight.
"Two million. Mr. Kan made a counteroffer before Mr. Wang spoke.
There was a temporary silence in the room, and Guiguzi expressed his opinion on the string on Mr. Wang's wrist:
"Mr. Wang's chain is worth a lot of money. ”
"Of course, the authentic Liangzhu culture things, Master Huang helped me find them, and the leather team helped me see how it was?" Mr. Wang was so happy that he forgot to keep my identity a secret, and brought his hand wearing a chain to my eyes.
"Very open door stuff and definitely worth it. "In order to please Mr. Wang, I had to express my opinion against my will, in fact, that thing is fake enough, it turns out that this Master Huang is not a good corner, eating inside and out.
"How much is it worth?" Mr. Wang asked me.
"Priceless. Because I don't know the transaction price between them, and I don't want to tell lies against my will, this "priceless" actually means worthless. Of course, Mr. Wang would understand it as another meaning, so he laughed, and Master Huang also smiled awkwardly, and nodded with satisfaction with my eyes, so I knew that this business was done.
