Chapter Eighty-Four: Not for Sale
"The information is here, you wait!"
Hao Sen immediately asked people to get the materials, which were in their temporary office, and they were all quickly moved.
There is still a lot of information, this case was that the tomb robbers dug up an ancient tomb of the Shang Dynasty in the Central Plains Province and stole dozens of bronzes of various kinds.
There were three tomb robbers, all of whom were caught, but it was too late to catch them, and the things had already been sold by them to the lame Liu.
Cripple Liu, an internationally renowned smuggler, is well aware of the value of this batch of bronzes, and has not been able to hide it when the wind is tight, and has only recently begun to ship. As a result, the task force was eager to solve the case, and it was not the lame Liu himself who was caught, but also more than 40 bronzes in the hands of the lame Liu.
Among the more than 40 bronzes, there are also two large tripods about one person, I really don't know how they moved so many things.
According to their clues, the lame Liu contacted more than one overseas buyer, and this batch of precious national treasure-level cultural relics could be smuggled out of the country at any time, so the above was also in a hurry, and even their director came over in person and gave them a deadline order.
This case has alarmed the top, and there are people above who are concerned, can you not be in a hurry?
The information of the three tomb robbers, as well as the information of the lame Liu, were all placed in front of Ye Yu.
"You don't even know what the cripple Liu looks like?"
After reading the information, Ye Yu screamed in surprise, while Hao Sen blushed a little, and hurriedly said: "This lame Liu is very cunning, he doesn't show his true face every time, and we have caught some of the people who have traded with him, but no one knows what the lame Liu looks like, only that his left leg is a little lame, so they all call him lame Liu!"
There is no photo of the lame Liu, and there is not even his real name, no wonder Hao Sen has no confidence in solving the case within a time limit, so he rushed to the doctor and asked Ye Yu for help.
They really don't have a way to investigate.
"Xiaoye?"
"Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"
Ye Yu was thinking about where to start, when a few more people suddenly walked into the office, the policewoman who had wronged Ye Yu before and Master Zhang of the Huhai Collection Association.
Master Zhang, whose real name is Zhang Yiming, is good at the identification of ancient porcelain and bronze, and is an authority in the country in these aspects.
"Is that you?" Master Zhang was followed by a person, who was looking at Ye Yu in surprise.
"It's not me!" Ye Yu immediately turned around.
The road is narrow, and the old man I met when I received the red piece in the Jade Buddha Temple Lane before actually knew Mr. Zhang, and followed him to the police station, which happened to be encountered.
"Young man, I won't mistake you, there are a lot of people here, can we take a step to talk?" The old man looked at Ye Yu with a smile, and there was surprise in his eyes.
Before, he asked the driver to drive to chase, but he didn't catch up with Ye Yu, it was not easy to find Ye Yu in the vast sea of people, and there was no monitoring in the Jade Buddha Temple Alley, he finally found a monitor with Ye Yu's image, and the result was very blurry.
Originally, he had already given up, but he didn't expect to meet Ye Yu again today. He was visiting an old friend today, and it happened that his old friend was invited to the police station to help, so he came with him, and he was glad that he followed.
"If you don't borrow, you're not available!"
Another step to speak, Ye Yu directly shook his head and refused, he could guess with his toes what this person wanted to do, didn't he just want to buy the red piece from him.
Now that he knows the secret of redning, it is impossible for him to sell it to him again, it is easy to sell such a good thing, but it is difficult to buy it back.
"Little brother, don't be like this, it's just an ordinary carved lacquer, and it's not a valuable thing, why can't you negotiate?" Regarding Ye Yu's attitude, the old man didn't care at all, and still smiled.
"Ordinary, ordinary things with dark glue?" Sure enough, the old man came for the red.
"Dark glue, what dark glue?" the old man still smiled, but his heart sank, and the young man knew that it was covered with a layer of things, and it was not easy to do.
"If you don't know, forget it!" Ye Yu shook his head.
"Wait, what if I knew?"
Sure enough, Ye Yu guessed correctly, this old man really knew that there was something on the carved lacquer, so he thought about asking for it that day, but fortunately he was one step ahead.
"Do you know how to peel off that layer of glue?"
Ye Yu asked again, he had planned to have time to go to Zhang Lao and ask about the layer of dark glue, but he didn't expect to meet that old man, since he knew, he simply asked him directly.
"I know!" the old man hesitated, then nodded slowly.
"Is the method of unveiling for sale?" Ye Yu didn't talk nonsense with him, and went straight to the topic.
"Little brother, do you think this will work, it is a carved lacquer with dark glue, if you can't open it, it is useless, it is an ordinary carved lacquer, it is worthless, I will give you 100,000 yuan to buy your carved lacquer, you buy it for 4,000 and 5, and you can earn more than 20 times as much as you can make it, it's a good deal, isn't it?"
"Lao Liu, what is your situation?" Zhang Lao was a little confused when he heard it, and directly interjected and asked.
"That's ......"
The old man told him about the Jade Buddha Temple Lane that day, and the people around him understood what was going on, especially the policewoman, it turned out that Ye Yu was shopping at that time, and his hand was just to protect his sister, not what she imagined.
Zhang Lao nodded lightly: "It turns out that that thing has your family's glue concealment method, no wonder, Xiao Ye, if the thing is useless to you, you can sell it to Lao Liu, the glue concealment method is their Liu family's ancestral secret method, and other people don't know how to remove it at all!"
Lao Liu's name is Liu Yuan, a native of Guangdong, the owner of a chain of antique shops, and also a collector who loves antiques.
The glue concealment method is a method of protecting antiques invented by his ancestors, which can make good things inconspicuous, so that they will not attract the covetousness of others, and they can be better preserved.
He came to Huhai this time because of business, and he went to visit the Jade Buddha Temple Lane where he had been before when he had nothing to do in the evening.
I didn't expect this visit to let him see something covered up by his own glue concealment, although many treasures were disguised, but during the war, there were still a lot of treasures lost in their family, and all the lost treasures were recorded.
He recognized at a glance that this treasure concealed by the glue concealment method was a red, a very good red, with one hundred and sixty-nine layers of lacquer.
Such a treasure is definitely priceless.
It's a pity that he just wanted to stretch out his hand, but someone was faster than him, and he didn't give him any chance at all, so he paid and took the things on the spot, so that he didn't even catch up.
"Old Zhang, it's not that I don't give you face, I like that thing very much, so I don't want to cut my love!"
Zhang Lao didn't know the situation inside, so he said this, Ye Yu knew all this, and it was definitely impossible to give it to him like this.
"One million, I'll give you a million, how about it?" Liu Yuan suddenly increased the price again, and one plus was ten times.
"Don't sell it!" Ye Yu shook his head again, let alone one million, even if it was ten million, he wouldn't sell it.
In terms of value alone, the red piece can be auctioned for a high price of more than 20 million, but a good baby cannot be calculated only by money, especially the piece of red used in the lost craftsmanship, such a treasure is even more rare.
"Three million, little brother, I see that you are not very old, you should have just started work, three million do not eat or drink, you will have to earn it back for many years, you just give me something, I will give you three million immediately, now you can have everything in the future!"
Liu Yuan spoke again, he was a person who knew the situation of that treasure, and knew that there was such a good thing in it, but it was in the hands of others, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
This time, he even said the words of seduction.
"Hehe!" Ye Yu looked at him and chuckled.
Even Zhang Lao couldn't help but shake his head, his old friend didn't know Ye Yu's true identity, so he said such a thing.
"I'll give you three million, tell me how to uncover the dark glue, or you can help me uncover it directly!"
Ye Yu said lightly, his words made Liu Yuan stunned, and kept looking at Ye Yu up and down, he carefully looked at Ye Yu's clothes when he came in just now, although the clothes can't fully represent a person, but to a certain extent, he can still see a lot of things.
Ye Yu's clothes all over his body are all produced in ordinary factories, and the sum of his body is only one or two thousand at most.
Such a person is very similar to a migrant worker who has not been working for a long time after graduation.
But he didn't expect that Ye Yu, who he regarded as a worker, would have three million to buy his method, and he said it so easily, which really surprised him.
He was indeed not mistaken, Ye Yu was really working, but his main income no longer relied on that salary, as long as he was willing, he could earn three million, or even several three million, in minutes.
"Little brother, you're laughing!" Liu Yuan looked very uncomfortable.
He can't sell the secret method, and he won't do it to help Ye Yu uncover the dark glue, as soon as he reveals it, everyone will know what is inside, and it will be impossible for him to take it away at a low price.
It is not even certain whether that treasure can fall into his hands.
As soon as he remembered that this treasure was bought under his nose, Liu Yuan's heart felt a pinprick pain.
"Lao Liu, Xiao Ye is not joking, three million may be a long time for others, but it is really not a matter for him, let me introduce you, Ye Yu, a new generation of jade carving masters!"
Zhang Lao hurriedly explained to Liu Yuan that it was indeed not easy for ordinary workers to earn three million, but it was not difficult for Ye Yu at all.
As long as he speaks, there are many people who are willing to pay three million in advance, but Zhang Lao has heard that when he was in Jieyang, someone paid tens of millions of dollars to ask Ye Yu to make things, and he paid first.
"Jade Carving Grandmaster!"
Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, he was really shocked this time, he also knew that there was a new grandmaster in the jade carving world, but he didn't expect that person to be Ye Yu, and he was so young.
"Mr. Ye, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Liu Yuan hurriedly clenched his fists, no matter how young Ye Yu was, being able to reach the Grandmaster was enough to make people admire.
"Mr. Liu, think about three million, as for the things, I definitely won't sell them, and I don't lack this money!"
What Ye Yu said this time was a big deal, he was really short of money, anyway, after buying a house, let alone three million, he didn't have one million, and now he only has more than 400,000 change left.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have thought of gambling to make money.
As for making jade carvings to sell for money, he hasn't thought about this for the time being, jade carving is not his main business, it is purely a small interest, just like Zhang Benxing, calligraphy is just his small interest.
I'm a little interested, and I can do it myself, but I don't have that mood to sell it for money.
Anyway, unless it is a last resort, Ye Yu will not deliberately sell jade carvings to make money, especially after meeting Zhang Benxing, he is even more determined in this idea.
