Chapter 215: Treasure Detective

At the scene of the treasure appreciation event, it was said to be the National Treasure Gang.

The popularity of this kind of thing is similar to the Internet celebrity Brother Tiger shouting "I'm a Sabi" in the crowd.

will quickly attract everyone's onlookers.

Especially those uncles and aunts who are shooting short videos:

"Jimei/family, at the scene of Yangcheng treasure appreciation activity, the National Treasure Gang appeared!"

"That's ...... him"

Thankfully, this time Baoyou is a victim, so there are still people who sympathize with him.

In the flamboyant live broadcast room, someone spent money to send a voice barrage, hoping to identify that treasure friend first.

If it's not the best of the National Treasure Gang, even if it is, it can make him suffer less torture.

Bao You, who was at the front of the line and was about to dig something out, heard this voice barrage.

He immediately decided to switch places with the "stigmatized" brother.

"Teacher, you can take a look at him first, I'll go to the line."

"Yes, you're so nice, I'll take a good look at it for you later."

Zhang Yang gave this kind brother a thumbs up.

Soon, the treasure friend who was framed by the uncle, covered his face and walked up with a bronze statue in his arms.

The thing is placed on the table, a little higher than the pen holder, about twenty centimeters high.

The main body of the statue is a female antelope with horns, standing on the ground with her head held high.

Underneath it, two lambs are breastfeeding.

The painting style is quite normal here.

Strangely, at the position of the back of the female antelope, a bronze pillar was born, which twisted upwards into a circle.

At first glance, it looks like an antelope carrying a basket.

With such a strange shape, it is no wonder that it will be regarded as a national treasure.

[Why is it that even the antelope is a little black child]

[At first glance, it's an imitation, haven't you heard of lamb kneeling milk, how can there be a standing]

[Twenty-year bronze veteran players tell everyone that this is genuine, from the Western Zhou Dynasty]

[The twenty years you are talking about, are you sentenced to twenty years]

"I took this from abroad and spent 300,000 yuan." Baoyou introduced.

"What did the auction house say?"

"It's a small auction house, saying it's their local unearthed bronzes." Baoyou explained.

"When I went through customs, this thing was identified as a modern handicraft, but I think there should be no handicrafts in that place!"

Which place? Turkey.

"I can't say for sure, there are really a lot of imitations that are exported to domestic sales."

"But like yours, I've never seen it at all, it's rare."

There is usually a basis for fraud.

For example, the national treasure is a palm-sized jade, so I'll make a plate big one, big you!

Another example is that the national treasure is the Four Sheep Fangzun, I will have a Five Sheep Fangzun and crush it to death!

But pure fabrication, to be honest, a bit of a faker's brain, is less common.

Zhang Yang took the thing in his hand and looked at it carefully.

There is nothing wrong with looking at the green embroidery alone, such as the pit mouth in the grassland area.

And it is a ripe pit, and the inheritance time is not short, because many places that should have rust have been replaced by pulp.

The statue itself was also cast using the lost-wax method, which is in line with the characteristics of the old thing.

"Name: Bronze Antelope Container Rack"

"Date of production: 2101 B.C.E."

"Details: The Bronze Age antelope statue of West Asia, as a holder for some kind of container (possibly a wine cup), bears witness to the glory of the ancient civilization of the Bronze Age and the steppes of West Asia."

A bronze statue of the same period as Dayu's water control?

It can really only be the ancient civilization of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Fertile Crescent (two river basins).

"Baoyou, how did you bring this thing out of Turkey?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

As far as he knows, the cultural relics protection law in Turkey was promulgated earlier than in China.

They have also suffered from the looting of cultural relics by the Empire, and in recent years they have attached great importance to the protection of cultural relics.

Baoyou blinked at this question, and finally said to Zhang Yang:

"Teacher, you know."

"Do I understand?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.

I saw Baoyou use two fingers to make a two-legged "walking" action on the table.

Punishment!

"Oh, I see." Zhang Yang nodded.

"The thing is right, no problem, this is an artifact of the bronze civilization of the Eastern Mediterranean."

"But such a treasure has no market in China, so you have to take it overseas to auction."

"It's okay." Baoyou smiled: "As long as it's true." ”

"Anyway, when you pass the level, they will treat it as a craft."

There's nothing wrong with this talking.

Zhang Yang took a look at the live broadcast room and borrowed the words of the barrage to tell Baoyou:

"You can go out with your head held high now, and the person who takes the real thing, this confidence still needs to be there."

"Don't, don't, it's better to keep a low profile."

Baoyou lowered his head, picked up the statue, half-covered his face, and said with a smile:

"I'm afraid that someone will report it, and if things are locked up at that time, I will lose a lot."

"It's okay, as long as people don't get locked up." Zhang Yang said with relief.

……

The bronze was sent away, and the next person to appreciate the treasure was an elderly lady.

By her side, a middle-aged woman, like her daughter, accompanied her intimately.

The baby was placed in a tote bag, wrapped in a red plastic bag, wrapped in waste newspapers, and wrapped quite tightly.

Zhang Yang helped, and it took a lot of effort to disassemble it.

It was a black lacquered wooden box about the size of a glasses case.

The white pattern on the lid of the box depicts the story of "Three Visits to the Thatched House".

The old lady said that this was the dowry of the family when she got married, and it was used as a jewelry box.

Now the family is in a hurry to sell their things.

Speaking of selling things, the old man's daughter was a little embarrassed, muttering that it was because she had no ability to sell her property.

The old man was very open-minded, comforted his daughter, and said that these things were originally reserved for emergency use.

She also smiled and introduced to Zhang Yang:

"Expert teacher, don't you know, this thing is the worst thing I married!"

"Really? I don't believe it! Zhang Yang carefully observed the black lacquered wooden box, and replied with a smile: "Your thing is worth at least 400,000 yuan now!" ”

"I don't believe there's anything more valuable in there."

"Four hundred thousand?!" When the daughter's, she cried out in surprise.

The old lady reacted well, and asked Zhang Yang in turn:

"How many gold bars can I buy for 400,000?"

"At current prices...... Seven 100g gold bars. ”

"Seven?" After hearing this, the old lady muttered: "Seven roots, then the jewelry in my house is really worthless." ”

"Expert teacher, are you sure you read that right?"

"Of course not." Zhang Yang replied confidently.

He handed the magnifying glass in his hand to the old lady and the daughter, and asked them to look at the patterns on the box.

"You haven't thought about this black lacquered box before, what is it used for, this white painting?"

"White lacquer!" The daughter replied without thinking.

"Haha, then look at what is written on this pillar."

Zhang Yang smiled and pointed to the pattern on the lid.

There is a pavilion on it, and on the pillars of the pavilion, it is written: [Jiajing Ding You] four small characters.

The year of Jiajing Dingyou, that is, 1537.

This is a wooden box made in the sixteenth year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, with black lacquer inlaid with luodian.

"There was no white lacquer in the Ming Dynasty, even this black lacquer was made of black toner added to the natural lacquer."

"So you can see that the box is a little reddish, which is the natural color of natural lacquer."

"And what's this white?"

The treasure bearers in the back queue came up to see the excitement and took the initiative to ask Zhang Yang.

"Shells."

"It's a snail insertion process." Zhang Yang explained.

"It is to make a thin sheet of the reflective side of the white mussel shell, carve it into a beautiful pattern, inlay it into a wooden box, and then polish and polish it."

Baoyou, the process determines that the basic price is not low.

What really made it reach the height of 400,000 was the four small words above.

Although I don't know what kind of mentality the craftsman who carved this thing in the first place, he engraved the year on it, but for the mother and daughter in front of him, the craftsman is a good person.

These four words, conservatively estimated, have increased by at least 200,000 yuan.

"Teacher, can we put this thing on the auction of your event, can we put it on auction?"

Baoyou's daughter took the initiative to make such a request, and Zhang Yang of course agreed.

"No problem, the starting price is set at 400,000, and it will definitely not be unsuccessful."

[Is the anchor so confident? 】

[If you know the price of Luodian furniture in the Ming Dynasty, you will know that 400,000 is really not expensive]

[This is an auction held in Yangcheng, where the furniture collection is already popular]

The idea of the barrage is similar to what Zhang Yang thinks.

The collection market for wood products here in Guangdong Province is probably one of the best places in the country, and the regional culture here is just that.

Previously, there was a treasure friend who used Huanghuali's bellows to identify, and Zhang Yang also suggested that he put it up for auction.

The actual transaction price is definitely much higher than what he sold at the market price.

Of course, Zhang Yang is not working in vain.

As the auctioneer, the auction house will charge the buyer a commission of 5% of the transaction price.

Of those, 1.5% will go into the pockets of the public.

At the auction in Linhai, he shared a small one million in commissions alone.

But this time in Yangcheng, the money doesn't seem to be so easy to make.

It's not that there will be a problem with the auction, it's that someone actually came to dig the foot of the wall.

At the end of the day's auction, the daughter of the old lady who appraised the jewelry box was outside the main venue, blocked Zhang Yang.

She wanted to reverse herself and cancel the auction consignment that had just been signed and was still hot.

"I'm just a part-time worker, I don't count this, you go to consult the auction agency."

"A small amount of liquidated damages should be paid." Zhang Yang told the other party.

"But......" The middle-aged woman was stumbling and couldn't say what she wanted to say for a long time.

She understood what Zhang Yang meant, she just didn't want to pay the money, and wanted to see if Zhang Yang could help.

But, there is a contract.

In the end, she still took the initiative to tell Zhang Yang that it was because a "treasure detective" approached her and promised to sell for a higher price.

I hope she will entrust the things and send them to Christie's in Xiangjiang for auction.

"They are big international auction houses, and the buyers are relatively wealthy......"

Zhang Yang only listened to half of the middle-aged woman's words.

Christie's Detective? I guess it's the auction collector!

Zhang Yang has seen the treatment of Poly's auction collectors on the Internet: a basic salary of 5000 + 30% of the contract commission.

It is claimed that the annual salary can reach 500,000.

I have no objection to you earning 500,000 yuan, but don't delay my activities!

"You give me that detective's number, and I'm going to talk to him."

"You are not in a hurry to entrust in advance, what if there are variables? I'm going to explore the way first. ”

"Teacher, didn't you say that you are a part-time worker?"

"yes, I'm working for myself." Zhang Yang replied with a smile.

Thank you for the 100 coins reward for Five Plus Skin, Your Excellency, and Dorunrun! Thank you!
