Chapter 450: When did the trade in national treasures and antiques be the same as setting up a stall?
Cao Dalong's movements were very fast, and he immediately began to search for the situation of the Jincun Tomb in Luoyang.
Qin Fei and Ran Jie were not slow.
Zhu Yu said slowly while admiring the jade kneeling figure:
"Our ancients said that they were born in Suzhou and Hangzhou and buried in the north. It means that the area around Suzhou and Hangzhou is a paradise in the world and the most suitable for human habitation; And Luoyang's Pi Mountain, since ancient times, gathered the tombs of emperors and generals, the most suitable for cave dwelling.
This up-and-coming place is a reason for the locals to masturbate, and the simple people are convinced that the feng shui of the north will bring infinite wealth and well-being to their children and grandchildren. β
"I've heard that." Cao Dalong replied while waiting for the page to refresh.
"The ancients said that the feng shui in the north is good and there are many tombs, which is true. The Jincun Tomb in Luoyang refers to the time of the Republic of China, because of the heavy rain, the tomb of the Zhou Dynasty buried here was washed out.
At that time, because of the war, countless treasures in the tomb were robbed by foreigners......"
Zhu Yu glanced down at the jade kneeling figure, and then said:
"That's one of them. If you really want to talk about the value, it's not particularly high. After all, in terms of jade quality and withering, they are not considered superior. But the meaning is - this is the tomb of King Zhou!
Because of the disorderly excavation and looting at that time, the owners of the eight tombs are now unsure of who they are.
And at that time, the great powers surrounded the place and excavated it for several years...... To open the excavation! β
This kind of thing is rarely talked about in history books, and many adults don't know it.
But a treasure hunter like Zhu Yu is naturally very clear.
When you know it, it's a pity.
So now that there is an opportunity to get the treasures of the Luoyang Jincun Tomb back, how can Zhu Yu not be excited?
"Holy! I didn't know that our country still had such a history at that time - those gang of dogs and traitors, and those bastards! β
Cao Dalong saw the record of the Jincun Tomb and immediately said angrily.
Qin Fei didn't speak, but the expression in his eyes revealed his inner unease.
Ran Jie said suddenly:
"Boss, you should have let Dalong go out with you just now. Let's find that Peros's nest and kill the ...... directly."
"Don't. The other party is not good at stubble, and if they can find here, it means that they have investigated us very clearly. Zhu Yu shook his head: "Don't be self-defeating. β
Now that Zhu Yu has spoken, then Ran Jie and the others will no longer insist.
"Boss, do you need us to do anything?" Qin Fei said suddenly.
"I want to ...... I have a plan here. If he sells things honestly, then we will collect them in a regular manner. If he has other ideas......"
Zhu Yu's plan was very simple, and the implementation was not complicated, so after listening to it, several people said they understood.
Zhu Yu asked Cathy to take care of all the people in the family and try not to come out in the afternoon.
It's better not to let them see or participate in this kind of thing.
Sure enough, just after noon, the sound of a truck sounded outside the door.
The two veterans got Zhu Yu's orders, opened the gate, and a truck slowly drove in.
This truck is really a bit big, and Zhu Yu's villa yard can barely stop.
Peros got down from the co-pilot's seat, saw Zhu Yu, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhu, everything I have collected is in this car. Let's trade now? β
Seeing that Pei Luosi was so eager, Zhu Yu was not hypocritical, and said:
"Okay. My people and yours move things from the car together, and we estimate them one by one, how about it? β
"Good!" Philos also had this intention, and the two of them sat down at the door of the storeroom of the villa.
Ran Jie stood beside Zhu Yu, while Qin Fei and Cao Dalong were moving things in the truck.
There were two tables at the door of the warehouse, one for Zhu Yu and one for Pei Luosi. Zhu Yu has two suitcases here.
This time he brought several people, some carrying things, some standing beside him.
The first small box was moved, and several things were in it.
Zhu Yu glanced at it and forcibly suppressed his anger.
Gold, jade and bronze are mixed together, and they are randomly separated from each other by clothβwhat a rudeness!
"Gold Ruyi, this piece should have some history, twenty thousand dollars." Zhu Yu quoted directly.
"This is gold, more precious than the jade in the morning, right?" Although Peros was satisfied with the offer, to be honest, he was a little confused.
The stone can be sold for 30,000, but the gold is only 20,000?
After all, in his opinion, what kind of jade, isn't it just a beautiful stone?
It's not a gem!
"That one is relatively old," Zhu Yu explained, "this one is relatively new." β
"Oh." Perroth thinks it's a good reason. After all, the original Declaration of Independence is certainly worth more than the original Potsdam Proclamation β in his opinion.
He understands that the new in Zhu Yu's eyes should be decades to more than a hundred years, right?
If he knew that Zhu Yu's so-called new was referring to more than a thousand years agoβafter all, the jade kneeling figure seemed to be something nearly three thousand years agoβhe was afraid that his teeth would have fallen out!
"A pair of bronze tiger talismans, five thousand dollars." Zhu Yu suppressed his excitement and quoted a price.
This thing is a pair, with an inscription, the words on it are wrong gold, the pulp is very perfect, and it is the old pit unearthed after it has been treasured.
As soon as he heard that it was copper, Pelos did not raise the price. Two bronze objects can be sold for 5,000 dollars, which in his opinion is already a high price.
"A pair of ancient jade fingers, two thousand dollars!" Zhu Yu's offer became more and more bold.
This thing has a provenance at first glance, and in fact, one is mutton fat jade and the other is yellow jadeite, but I don't know this Pelos when I think about it.
Sure enough, Pei Luosi nodded, and recognized Zhu Yu's offer.
"A bronze noodle pot, 30,000 dollars!" Zhu Yu continued to offer, and this time he was equally excited.
The eye of heaven opened, and this bronze human-faced pot actually had an inscription inside.
Proper baby!
As soon as the bronze was lifted, Pei Luosi was already staring at Zhu Yu.
If Zhu Yu quoted a few thousand dollars at this time, Pei Luosi would not be happy!
After all, he was told, don't look at this thing is all rust, but it's worth a lot of money!
The offer given by Zhu Yu made him feel that Zhu Yu did not cheat him!
Valuable, $30,000, no problem!
Pei Luosi's gaze at Zhu Yu became more and more appreciative.
It's good for this Chinese to do business, at least don't pit yourself!
"A bronze sword, ten thousand dollars." Zhu Yu looked at the sword with some serious rust on the surface and explained to Peros:
"This sword will actually be more expensive than the pot just now. But now it's not well preserved, and the rust is a bit serious, so ......"
"Mr. Zhu, I believe in you, the price you gave is very fair!"
In Peroth's opinion, this bronze sword, which breaks as soon as it breaks, is not worth a thousand dollars!
It can be sold for 10,000 dollars, which is already a very high price!
He had no reason to suspect Zhu Yu.
The two sides carried something and made an offer, without the slightest intention of quarreling.
Here, Pei Luosi's subordinates kept lifting things on the table, and over there, Qin Fei and Ran Jie repacked the contents of the box one by one, turned their heads and put them in the warehouse.
The whole process is very smooth.
Lady Cathy settled the servants and brought them snacks and tea herself, much to the satisfaction of Petros, who clearly valued her.
No one doesn't want to be respected by others!
ββ¦β¦ Ivory screen, $7,000. Zhu Yutang said: "The thing is good, but it can be seen that it is a splicing piece." β
In fact, this large piece is 50 centimeters tall and more than 30 centimeters wide, a typical ivory vessel.
Ordinary ivory is not that wide at all, so it is withered out of two pieces together.
Zhu Yu pointed out the splicing seam to Peros, and Peros nodded in approval.
"Ivory Guanyin, eight thousand dollars. This one is a good piece of workmanship. β
"Ivory Dragon Arhat, six thousand dollars, the withering is a bit ordinary."
In fact, it's not ordinary, it's just not as good as that Guanyin, but these two are old goods, one in the early Ming Dynasty and one in the late Ming Dynasty.
If this thing is placed in China, it can be sold for more than 50 times the price.
Anyway, Pelos has no business, and he is very content to make so much money.
"Gold and gemstone handle pot, $80,000!" This is the first time Zhu Yu has given such a high price.
Crafted entirely in gold, this jug is set with 24 precious stones of all kinds.
So Zhu Yu gave the highest price since this transaction!
Pelos was also a little surprised.
His psychological price is $50,000.
In fact, Pelos also knew that if he really wanted to put this thing at auction, the price that could be sold would definitely be higher.
But can he put it up for auction?
No way!
Finding the right seller and selling it as a whole is what he wants to do most now.
With this money, he can fly away!
Holding the jade kneeling statue before, he had seen more than just Zhu Yu's family.
I have seen several of them, but none of them have given high prices.
Now Zhu Yu has given him another surprise, he thinks Zhu Yu is a friend enough!
If there is really something similar in the future, he doesn't mind coming to Zhu Yu to trade again!
Seeing that Pei Luosi had no objection to this price, Zhu Yu motioned to Ran Jie next to him to pay.
Ran Jie took out eight stacks of U.S. bills from the box and handed them over.
Pelos took it, weighed it, and without counting, stuffed it into his suitcase.
At this point, Zhu Yu's box of money has been used up.
Ran Jie opened the second box.
A steady stream of antiques continued to be delivered.
"Dragon-patterned bronze mirror. Eight thousand dollars. Zhu Yu looked at this bronze mirror that was very well preserved, and even the rust was not very obvious, and sighed in his heart, if this is to be placed in China, how can it cost millions of yuan, right?
Raising his eyes, Zhu Yu was surprised to find that Pei Luosi was a little confused.
He was shocked, could it be that this guy knew the true value of this bronze mirror?
He immediately remedied, and said with some pity on the surface:
"If there are some words on the back of this mirror, it will be more valuable, and I am willing to pay 10,000. Now it's just the pattern, so eight thousand dollars, I think the price is very appropriate. β
Pellos nodded slowly.
Zhu Yu thought to himself, sure enough, this Pei Luosi should not know the goods, but someone must have told him that some of these antiques are more valuable!
You can't just lake it!
"Calligraphy and painting, I'll see whose it is...... Money picked, I don't know, a thousand dollars. β
This is the first time Zhu Yu has quoted such a low price.
After the report, he also explained to Pei Luo:
"I don't have any knowledge of calligraphy and painting, and I don't know much about this person. I know some of the more famous painters whose paintings fetch millions or even tens of millions of dollars at auction. But this ...... Not famous. β
At this point, he looked at Philos, and the meaning was clear. If you don't approve of the price, then you can take things back.
"I think it's a good price!" Pei Luosi nodded slowly, Zhu Yu didn't understand, and he didn't understand it anymore.
He couldn't even see what was good about the other party's painting, the characters were very unclear, and the landscape was also very unclear, how could such a painting be preserved?
Okay, Zhu Yu continued to steal fun.
ββ¦β¦ This is...... Buddha statues. Wooden Buddha statue, a little small, five hundred dollars. Zhu Yu thought for a while and said.
Pei Luosi stretched out his hand, Zhu Yu shook his head, and Ran Jie paid.
Zhu Yu's heart has blossomed!
This Buddha statue is made of agarwood!
It's not the agarwood, it's the agarwood!
That's been at least hundreds of years old!
Although it doesn't look much different from ordinary wood, because of the pulp, the taste is not very obvious, but Zhu Yu still recognizes it at a glance!
Agarwood!
This is a big leak!
"It's ...... Bronze gilded Buddha statue, $1,500. Zhu Yu's face was expressionless.
If you see too much, you won't be able to give a high price.
He felt that he was now in the vegetable market, waiting for the vegetable farmers to deliver the vegetables.
At the beginning, I was excited to see the pure natural, organic and pollution-free things, and then I was even more excited to see the wild fish in the pure natural and pollution-free reservoir.
Then I was even more excited to see the small fish in the stream that did not grow big but were unusually delicious......
However, if you keep collecting this kind of thing for more than an hour, it will be numb.
Can't get excited!
No matter how excited you are, there's an end, isn't it?
Until Zhu Yu saw an independent box moved over.
When the box opened, he was startled when he looked at the things!
Yuan Qinghua!
There are only a few hundred of these things in the world!
There are two in this box!
Almost exactly the same pair!
Yuan blue and white phoenix head flat pot!
Yuan Qinghua Luan Shou Flat Pot!
Isn't there only one pair of these things in the world?
After Zhu Yu became a treasure hunter, he also had an understanding of some things in China.
Yuan Qinghua, something that suddenly pushed the auction price of Huaxia porcelain to the peak, he naturally wanted to understand.
Then I learned about such a pair of utensils.
A phoenix and a luan, this is obviously a pair.
As we all know, this thing must not be used by ordinary people. After all, dragons and phoenixes are just like the yellow costumes in ancient times, and ordinary people use them to kill their heads.
After all, in the ancient times of China, or in the ancient times of the world, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, and ordinary people used things that should not be used, which was called arrogance.
Etiquette is not only polite, but also rules.
After turning around, again, there was such a pair of flat pots in ancient China, but there was a miracle.
This Luanshou flat pot was unearthed in the former residence of the Yuan Dynasty in Yanping City, but when it was unearthed, it was 48 fragments, and then it was repaired by experts.
And the phoenix head flat pot was unearthed in Yinli HC County, New Province.
This east and west are separated by thousands of kilometers -
But the pattern on the body of the pot is exactly the same!
It's obviously a couple!
But how did it just run away to the Western Regions in the Yuan Dadu and the other to the Western Regions?
The story is unclear.
For this, Zhu Yu still has all kinds of speculations, it may be a gift, or it may be a family separation.
Unknown.
Because of such a coincidence, Zhu Yu wrote down these two things, after all, many Yuan Qinghua are unique, which is not unusual.
Now there is a pair, one east and one west, which is unusual!
And what is in front of Zhu Yu is exactly the same pair!
And it's a very complete pair!
At this moment, Zhu Yu was directly numb!
Zhu Yu was stunned, and that Pei Luosi found out at once.
Zhu Yu reacted quickly and exclaimed:
"What beautiful porcelain! For this pair, I give 100,000 dollars! β
The highest price on the spot so far!
Pyrrhus was immediately satisfied.
Again, his beauty, charm, he can't appreciate it.
Since Zhu Yu gave a high price, then sell it!
This surprise made Zhu Yu's originally numb expression regain its agility.
His expression made Ran Jie understand that this thing was not an ordinary precious, so he carefully put it away.
Zhu Yu looked forward to seeing if there could be another similar surprise.
"One piece of white jade with a hook, five thousand dollars." Zhu Yu looked at the belt hook in front of him and gave an estimate.
Peros didn't even ask this time.
Although the price of this thing is so much different from that jade kneeling man, Pei Luosi feels that since Zhu Yu gave this price, it naturally makes sense.
There's a!
Zhu Yuchun just doesn't want to give a high price anymore!
ββ¦β¦ An ancient painting, a thousand dollars. Zhu Yu spoke again.
But all paintings, whether they are Tang Yin's or Zhu Zhishan's, are all 1,000 dollars!
"Multicolored porcelain jar, fifteen thousand dollars." Zhu Yu continued to quote.
β¦β¦
Finally, Zhu Yu's three boxes of money were handed over to Pelos, and the contents of the truck were emptied.
The sun is almost setting.
Pei Luosi looked at the three boxes full of US dollar bills, and said to Zhu Yu with satisfaction:
"Mr. Zhu, I am really very satisfied with this transaction! Looking forward to our next deal β if there are any similar goods, I'll let you know as soon as possible! β
Zhu Yu thought to himself, can you still have a second shipment?
However, he was naturally looking forward to having such goods again, so he couldn't help but remind:
"Mr. Petros, I look forward to it as well. So, I hope you will be on the safe side.
I won't ask where these things come from, but I think there will be other people who will pay attention to them......"
"Mr. Zhu, don't worry, our mouth is very strict." Pei Luosi misunderstood what Zhu Yu meant.
"No, no, no," Zhu Yu waved his hand, "I'm not scared here." I mean, you'd better have a proper hiding place, or I don't think it's going to be long before someone finds you......"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for the reminder." Peros got into the truck with three suitcases with his men.
After Pei Luosi left, Zhu Yu said to Ran Jie and the three:
"Stand guard at the door."
He walked into the storeroom alone.
These things must not be put here!
It's not an exaggeration to say it's a time bomb!
When Zhu Yu came out, he immediately instructed Ran Jie:
"Tell Jason to drive two big trucks!"
Before dark, Jason and the blacks had already arrived in a big truck.
"Boss! What are the commands? Seeing Zhu Yu, Jason was not ordinary excited, but Zhu Yu didn't have time to chat with him now, pointed to the warehouse and said:
"Move what's inside to the van! Pull it over to you, find a container to put in it, and lock it up! β
Jason also knew that the matter was urgent, and immediately got busy.
In the middle of the night, there was a fierce knock on the door outside the villa!
Then without waiting for Zhu Yu and them to react, the people outside broke in!
