"Yes, it's because this statue has a mystery." The corners of Ye Chaoyang's mouth hooked slightly, and he turned Fang Ding upside down with his hand, with the mouth facing down and the feet facing up, and patted Ding's abdomen.

Su Xiaolu looked at it, and a suspicion flashed in his eyes, "What mystery?" ”

She couldn't see the slightest mystery at all.

"There's something clearly wrong with the patina here." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "If it is a general fake, or called an antique modern handicraft, if you want to sell it to guests as an antique, since the patina has been forged in other places in Ding, then there is no reason to be troublesome, and it will be specially dealt with in this place, right?" ”

"Well, that makes sense." Su Xiaolu's eyes lit up slightly, she herself had a certain ability to appreciate treasures, so as soon as she heard Ye Chaoyang's words, she immediately became interested, but she did not lose her ability to think. "But Mr. Ye, maybe it's personal negligence, or when it circulates to the market, there was an unexpected change, it's possible, right?"

"It's a real possibility." Ye Chaoyang nodded, and patted the bronze tripod's abdomen again with his hand. "But do you feel anything when you listen to this voice?"

"Hollow?" Su Xiaolu's delicate and beautiful ears moved, revealing a surprised expression.

As a container in ancient times, the tripod is naturally hollow, especially in the era when the ancient copper casting method was not mature, even if the feet of the bronze tripod are hollow, it is completely normal.

But since Ye Chaoyang prompted so, it is obvious that things are not so simple. "Mr. Ye, you don't want to tell me that this hollow part is a hidden compartment, and there is something hidden, right?"

"Miss Su is not only beautiful, but also very smart." Ye Chaoyang smiled and nodded.

The corners of Su Xiaolu's mouth hooked, and he glanced at him, this guy casually praised people for being beautiful, and he was too skilled, right? "You're not going to be a fancy man, are you?"

"Huh? Miss Su, your thinking has jumped too much, right? Ye Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm very pragmatic." ”

"Oh, really?"

"Let's see what's hidden inside." Ye Chaoyang said.

Su Xiaolu glanced at the belly of the bronze tripod, and then said, "This seems to be sealed from the outside, I'm afraid you need to use something like a metal cutter." ”

"No, I can open it with my bare hands." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Bare hands?"

Su Xiaolu looked at him in surprise, saw him raise his right hand, couldn't help but snort, and said, "Are you joking with me?" I don't think it's humorous at all. ”

"Certainly not a joke." Ye Chaoyang smiled, pressed the bronze tripod's abdomen with his hand, and then with a force, with a clang, something cracked directly!

Su Xiaolu took a look, and saw that the abdomen of the bronze tripod, which was originally intact, actually opened a small hole! "You, did you really open it with your bare hands?"

"How?"

It's unbelievable!

"If you have hands, you can do it." Ye Chaoyang smiled, then reached inside and took out something wrapped in gold leaf.

Seeing the gold foil paper, Su Xiaolu's eyes immediately became a little solemn. Even in modern times, gold is a very expensive thing.

A piece of gold leaf may not be expensive and everyone can afford it, but if someone takes several pieces of gold leaf paper and wraps it together and hides it, can this thing be ordinary?

Maybe the 10,000 yuan is really worth it.

"Miss Su, open it and take a look?" Ye Chaoyang smiled and handed her the things and said.

"Huh?" Su Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, "You let me open it?" ”

"Yes, if it weren't for you, that boss might not have been in a hurry to sell it to me for 10,000 yuan." Ye Chaoyang said with a smile.

The corners of Su Xiaolu's mouth moved, stared at him and said, "Lie to people." The boss must have known that what he said was all fooling. This kind of nonsense is everywhere in the whole antique bazaar. ”

"Even if I don't show up, you can buy this bronze tripod for 10,000 yuan."

"But since you want me to open it, I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, she took the thing. Because the gold leaf paper had been hidden in the bronze tripod for too long, several sheets were glued together. But Su Xiaolu didn't feel troublesome, and with a slight twitch of his fingers, he slowly jumped away from the gold foil, revealing what was wrapped inside.

A small wooden box, fuchsia, looks like an old object, and it is made of the best rosewood.

She couldn't help but become more and more curious, and slowly opened the wooden box a little, and a white luster appeared inside. Open it a little more, and both of them can see that it is a white metal made of a dragon-shaped accessory.

"What kind of metal is this?"

"Platinum." Ye Chaoyang nodded slightly.

Whether it is gold or silver, there are three, six, nine and so on according to the purity, the higher the purity, the more expensive the value.

"Platinum?"

Su Xiaolu looked at the accessory, weighed it and said, "Counting the small accessories, it probably won't cost sixty grams of brain platinum." ”

"According to the current price of platinum, one gram is about three hundred yuan, three hundred and sixty hundred thousand. However, in ancient times, white gold, such as copper, iron, and tin, could also be called white gold. I'm afraid it can't be converted according to the current platinum conversion. ”

"But if this kind of platinum is now, counting the value bonus of antiques, I'm afraid it can be sold for about 30,000 yuan, and I want to congratulate you Mr. Ye, you missed it."

"Thank you, but the platinum I'm talking about isn't converted like that." Ye Chaoyang smiled, shook his head and said, "The platinum I am talking about is natural platinum!" ”

"Natural white gold?" A puzzle flashed in Su Xiaolu's eyes.

Ye Chaoyang said with a smile: "The current platinum, also known as K gold, is an artificial alloy, with only seventy-five percent gold content, so the price is one or two hundred yuan lower than gold." ”

"But natural white gold is rarer than gold, and it is basically only found in water with golden sand. A professional gold digger, ten years of washing sands, the natural platinum obtained, I am afraid no more than ten grams! ”

"To create such a jewelry, it takes a person to wash the golden sand for 60 years, and there is a harvest every year to make up the basic materials."

"Do you think you can convert it according to one gram and three hundred?"

"This," Su Xiaolu took a deep breath, if it was this kind of natural platinum, the value would be terrifying. At least five times more than gold!

According to today's gold price, if the price of one gram is nearly six hundred, this natural platinum dragon pattern accessory is worth at least 150,000!

What's more, such a rare thing is a dragon pattern, and I am afraid that in ancient times, only the emperor and the royal family could wear it. The value can no longer be converted to the raw material.

"In this case, even if this accessory is sold for 500,000 yuan, someone may be willing to do it?"

"Half a million?"

Ye Chaoyang shook his head with a smile and said, "Miss Su is still too conservative, if I estimate it, it will be at least five million." ”

"How much?"
