Chapter 411: Hooked

The Han gold seal worth 50 or 60 million is sold for 18 million?

If something is true, then it deserves to be rich.

But Li Ding'an felt that this was even more outrageous than letting Lei Mingzhen learn it thoroughly......

The car drove very fast, and Li Dingan went to the Sixth Ring Road to pick up Lei Mingzhen first.

After making the call, Lei Mingzhen went downstairs, his eyes were red and swollen, and he probably drank a lot last night.

"Going clubbing?"

"Bubble a girl?" Lei Mingzhen yawned, "I want to pay back, I have to pay the bills, I want to talk about next year's raw materials, sales, and I have to make points from all walks of life...... With Lao Lei, he can't afford to drink to death. ”

"Isn't that good, and what antiques do you play?"

"Are two different things? Like Duan Mu's father, there are several mines in his family, and the market value of Changfu Group is billions, which does not prevent him from buying fakes in several basements...... This is not what I said, but what Duan Mu said himself......"

Li Dingan wanted to laugh.

"Have you seen the gold seal?"

"Duan Mu looked for it, but I didn't look for it!"

"Why don't you look for it?"

"Tens of millions of things, how dare I look at someone casually, what should I do if I am trapped?"

"Isn't that right, you're pretty clear-headed?" Li Dingan nodded heavily, "As long as you don't go up, even if I'm not there, even if I don't pay, I won't be able to lose much!" ”

"Nonsense, I want to pay more, and I have to have money to pay?" Lei Mingzhen found a more comfortable posture, "Lao Lei said, as long as you don't nod, don't say 10 million, not a dime!" ”

Li Dingan breathed a sigh of relief: That's good.

"Where does the seller come from?"

"Chinese-Americans, who specialize in making things from abroad."

Isn't it small?

"Okay, let's look at things first!"

The two talked, and for about an hour, they drove to Dongshan Villa.

It is on the edge of Chaoyang Park, next to the Liangma River, which is one of the top ten villa areas in Beijing.

After reporting the license plate number in advance, the security guard directly let him go, and drove in for a while, and the car was parked under a two-story villa.

Duan Mu stood at the door: "Teacher Li, please come in!" ”

"Good!" Li Ding'an got out of the car and looked left and right, "Duan Mu, this house is at least seven or eight hundred square meters, right?" ”

"Seven hundred and four!" Duan Mu nodded, "Teacher Li also has a set, just so let's be neighbors!" ”

Forget it.

The money was enough, but no one lived in it.

The three men entered, bypassed the screen, and the two ladies stood up.

One was younger, in his twenties, dressed in a skirt like an assistant. The other is in his early thirties, with a thoughtful appearance and exquisite makeup, revealing a shrewd and capable temperament.

The woman looked back: "Mr. Lei, where is the expert?" ”

"Here!" Lei Mingzhen gritted his teeth and hugged Li Ding'an's shoulder, "Mr. Gan, let me introduce you: This is our Teacher Li!" ”

Li Dingan slapped it away.

Suddenly, the woman's face was full of astonishment.

The...... Expert?

Looking at the appearance, he is younger than these two rich second generations. is so handsome, it is more reliable to say that he is a star.

"Hello, my surname is Li, Li Ding'an...... It's Ah Zhen! ”

As soon as she heard that it was a classmate, the woman was even more disappointed: today's business is estimated to be unsuccessful.

Out of politeness, she held out her hand: "Hello, Gan Hui! ”

Li Dingan smiled and reached out to shake it.

Lei Mingzhen and Duan Mu grinned: You don't think he's like an expert, right?

We don't think he's like ......

The first time I met, there was nothing polite to be polite, Li Dingan sat down: "Mr. Gan, look at things!" ”

Gan Hui nodded, and the assistant opened the suitcase.

A standard pouch with three boxes in it, all of which are not large.

Lei Mingzhen pointed to the one in the middle: "Strong, look at the golden seal first!" ”

Gan Hui was noncommittal and asked the assistant to take it out.

The lid of the box is opened, revealing a turtle button stamp.

With the addition of buttons, the height is about two centimeters, and the width of the seal is only 2.5, and the whole is not as big as an apricot.

In the current view, the carving can only be regarded as average, even a little rough, but it was normal in the Han Dynasty, including the imperial seal, which is not more exquisite than this.

The pulp is very thick, and occasionally you can see a little yellow bright color, which feels black and dirty.

But it just means that this thing is old enough. Because the composition of the slurry is dust, sweat, hand stains, grease, etc., the thicker the slurry, the longer it has been unearthed.

Turn it over again, and there are four small characters in the seal font that go up and down: the seal of the king of Minyue. The handwriting is very neat, and you can faintly see the dark red ink marks in the lattice.

At first glance, the thing is quite right: the button is right, the print is right, the word is right, the work marks are obvious, and the pulp is quite old.

Li Dingan looked at it a few times, and asked casually: "How much?" ”

I had talked to Lei Mingzhen and Duan Mu before, and the woman was very refreshing: "Thirty million!" ”

"It's too cheap......"

That's the biggest mistake!

"Actually, the price is not high, but it can be discussed again...... Well? ”

Halfway through the sentence, Gan Hui reacted: People are saying "too cheap", not too expensive?

There are still people who talk about business like this?

"Mr. Gan, can you tell me why you shot so low?"

As I said before, there is nothing that cannot be said: "There are some difficulties in business and you need capital turnover!" ”

"Oh."

Li Dingan was noncommittal, "What is the origin?" ”

"Five years ago, it was sold by a well-known international auction house in the United Kingdom, and the transaction price was 1.2 million pounds...... These are well documented. ”

Five years ago, 1.2 million pounds, now sold for 30 million, of course, it is not a loss, and it makes a lot of money. But if it is compared to the market price, it is almost discounted.

And it's not just the price that's wrong, it's the thing itself.

The point is that Li Dingan always feels a little impressed.

Unable to remember for a moment, he put the button into the box.

Duan Mu was a spirit: fake?

Shouldn't it?

This woman has been here for the third time, and the first two times he has asked someone to see it, and they all said that this seal is fine.

But Lei Mingzhen insisted on waiting for Li Ding'an, so there was no deal......

Lei Mingzhen also looked disappointed: others said that there was no problem, but Li Qiangqiang said that there was a problem, and how many things proved to be really problematic in the end?

I can't count them......

Anyway, this thing is absolutely unbuyable.

was sighing, Li Dingan took out the second one.

As soon as I opened the box, my eyes narrowed: bronze pawls?

Again, that's right: gears, hook cards, shaft holes, hook holes, and round noses are all the same.

Forty oblique teeth are generally of size, there is no difference between the tooth pitch, the hook and the oblique teeth are tightly seamed, the structure is reasonable, and the workmanship is precise...... If you remove the patina on it, you have to say that this is modern and what accessories on the machine are believed.

But this thing is from the Han Dynasty.

It has a wide range of uses: horse-drawn carriages, waterwheels, rollers, hangers and other machinery are used for braking, and can also be used as a taxi meter for horse-drawn carriages:

Two wooden figures are placed on the roof of the car, one beating the drum and the other ringing the bell, which are connected to the axle gears. The car travels for one mile, the drum sounds, and the car travels ten miles, and the bell rings. The number of people in the car can tell how far they have traveled by ringing the bell.

Here's the point: This thing was unearthed in the Western Han Dynasty, so I have to admire the wisdom of the ancestors.

The records in historical documents are even earlier, and it is said that this kind of thing can be made in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but there is only one unearthed: the Western Han Dynasty Ba Mausoleum (Emperor Wen's Tomb).

Now it is collected in the National Museum and I have seen it many times, so Li Dingan is very sure that this thing is real.

It's kind of unusual.

He flipped through it again: yes......

"How much does this one cost?"

"This one should be lower, sixteen million!"

The price is about the same, you can make a little money, but not much.

"Are there any formalities like provenance?"

"Yes!"

"Hmm!" Li Dingan nodded and closed the lid.

This time I didn't put it in the box, but put it aside.

Duan Mu and Lei Ming really looked at each other: What does it mean...... It's true?

But how do you look at it, it's like a modern industrial product?

Surprised, Li Dingan took out a third one.

As soon as the box was opened, he couldn't help but pause: two crystal cups?

Where did this Mr. Gan come from, and how did he sell this kind of fake thing at first glance?

Because of these two things, they look like glass.

But there is no doubt that these two things really can't be more real.

Not only is it true, but it's early enough: at least before the Don.

What's more, it's still a ritual: the three-legged lord.

Afraid that he couldn't see it accurately, Li Dingan was extremely careful, first looking, then touching, and using his fingernails to pick the pulp between the lines of the cup body.

The assistant was about to remind, but Gan Hui shook her head.

This look is more than ten minutes.

It's really true: the three-legged crystal lord of the Western Han Dynasty.

Although it is only a wine vessel, it is in such good condition and so early, it can be called a treasure.

He put it down gently: "How much are these two pieces?" ”

"Twelve million!"

"Procedures, huh?"

"Yes!"

"But it's high!"

How much was the Warring States Dragon Sword head he won from Yu Zhongze?

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "Gear (bronze pawl) plus crystal cup, a total of 12 million ......"

Really buy?

Gan Hui was not surprised, and was sure that Li Dingan did not look like a joke. Then he reacted: 12 million?

The price was more than half of her bid.

This is not an antique market, how can there be such a bargain?

She endured her unhappiness and pointed to the box: "What about the golden seal?" ”

"New, indisputably new!"

Li Ding'an is not in a hurry, "The traces of the ink are quite old, and the pulp is also quite old, but they are all scraped off from other utensils, and they are soaked in water and then wrapped layer by layer, and the interlayer is too obvious...... But the seal is newly minted...... Oh, and there's no bubbles in there! ”

At first, Gan Hui was quite angry: What is the undisputed new, you have watched too many short videos, right?

But when she heard the latter sentence, she was stunned again: was it like he said, scraping off the old pulp from other old utensils, and wrapping it layer by layer, she really didn't understand this.

But the Han Dynasty gold seal did not have bubbles, absolutely impossible.

Because the level of craftsmanship is simply not up to ......

So young...... Bluffing, right?

Gan Hui looked up and down again: "Twelve million, it's too low!" ”

"Actually, it's not low: these two are all Han artifacts, and the law clearly stipulates that they can't be traded...... If you find someone else, you don't have to ...... if you dare to buy it."

That's true, but you can't take advantage of the fire?

Gan Hui looked at Lei Mingzhen again, and Lei Mingzhen was motionless.

Understood, everything is up to the surname Li......

"I'm going to make a call!"

"Please!"

Gan Hui got up, and Lei Mingzhen hugged Li Ding'an's neck again: "It's okay, you used to look at things, if you felt that it was wrong, you could say 'can't see it accurately' at most, what do you say now?" ”

How long ago was that?

Others don't mention it, as far as He Anbang and Lu Benzhi are concerned, Li Ding'an now wants to say that something in the National Museum and the Forbidden City doesn't look right, and their hearts can shrink......

The two of them giggled, Gan Hui walked outside the door and dialed the phone: "Mr. Qu, they have seen the things and said they want to buy them!" ”

"Who watched it, or Lei Mingzhen and Duan Mu?"

"There is another one, very young, who said that he was Lei Mingzhen's classmate...... Oh yes, the surname is Li, it seems to be called Li What's An,......"

Before Gan Hui could finish speaking, she was suddenly interrupted: "Li Ding'an!" ”

"That's right, it's called Li Ding'an!"

"Sell!"

No...... You don't even ask them the price?

"Sell it for as much as you want!"

"Huh? Qu Zong, they just need gears and crystal cups! ”

"Sell it too!" A sigh came from the phone, "Because the golden seal is fake!" ”

What?

Gan Hui was stunned.

"But Mr. Duan ...... As for Duan Mu, he invited two gold and stone experts, and they all said that there was no problem......"

"The pulp is real, the ink is also real, but only the ink is fake...... But gold is inherently oxidized slowly, not to mention the eyes, and the instruments are not easy to determine, so ordinary experts naturally think that there is no problem......"

Gan Hui remembered Li Ding'an's judgment at that time, and it was completely messy: the ink clay is old, and the pulp is also old, but it is scraped off from other utensils and wrapped again......

Does he have laser eyes...... Who is this man?

"Don't be stunned, go in and trade, you can bargain a little bit, save him from suspicion...... But remember: no matter how much it is, sell it...... Also, to reveal a little bit: you have a lot of similar things in your hands, a lot of them...... Don't ask so much about the rest! ”

"Mr. Qu, I understand!"

"Hmm."

The phone hung up, and Qu Yanan exhaled sharply: Li Dingan, I don't believe that you have not taken the bait? (End of chapter)
