The picture was passed to Cheng Yu, Xiao Nie also put away the laptop, and everyone started drinking wine with the leftover vegetables again.
At this time, Xue Changyun, who had been silent until now, asked casually, "Mr. Cheng, what is the situation with this treasure map?"
This question put Cheng Yu in a bit of a dilemma. Of course he couldn't tell the truth, otherwise there would be no need for Uncle Li to handle the matter of cooperating with Soe Win to build a resort.
Of course, he could choose not to say it directly, but Cheng Yu felt that that would put people away thousands of miles away, so he made up a lie based on the recent situation.
"Didn't I go to Mang Street in Vietnam a few days ago?"
I passed him, and he said he had never seen you at the auction, but you called him later.
I made a phone call and asked him to help cover up the identity of a person named Wang."
Xue Changyun felt that since Cheng Yu didn't deliberately conceal the "treasure map" and mentioned Mangjie on his own initiative, he probably wouldn't mind telling those things.
Cheng Yu also nodded and said: "I originally wanted to go to the underground auction. I heard that there might be porcelain pieces from the firewood kiln at that auction..." Xiao Nie didn't know much about this, so he
I don’t think there’s anything special about it. Antiques, auctions, and firewood kilns are just the special interests of rich people. To him, they’re nothing more than things he probably can’t afford to play with in this life.
It's just a thing. But Gao Yiming still knew something about it. When he heard the word "Chai Kiln", he immediately interrupted in surprise: "Chai Kiln? Didn't it mean that that thing has never been handed down from generation to generation? Even experts don't know about it until now.
That thing's
What is the color of azure and what is the texture of porcelain?" Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Yes, that's why you're curious. Anyway, we haven't heard of any real wood-fired kilns in our country, but we can't.
That time was in Vietnam, and the person who gave me the news said that Chai would appear at the meeting.
Although no one knows whether the kiln porcelain pieces are authentic or not, they must have come from Vietnam. Vietnam has always been one of China's vassal states in ancient times, so I think what if it is authentic?"
"But what does this have to do with your 'treasure map'?" Xue Changyun finally brought the topic back.
"According to the information you gave me, I found the place where the auction was held, but they didn't let me in at all..."
"Why didn't you ask Lao Xue for help?" "Brother, at that time I didn't know that Xue Zhenghao also went to Mong Street, and also to the auction. If I had known, I would have asked him to take me in to see it. I came later
Come back and sign a contract with him and ask him to turn over the initial
The 100 million will be sent to you first - of course, I didn't say it was you, I just said it was sent to another legal account. Only then did I know that he had just come back from Mong Cai, and he went to the place where I wanted to go.
An incredible auction.”
Xue Changyun smiled slightly and said: "I missed it. But Lao Xue didn't mention anything about the firewood kiln, so I guess the porcelain pieces were not genuine." "Anyway, no one dared to bid and the auction failed.
.Actually, I don’t really want to take pictures, I just want to see the so-called broken porcelain from the firewood kiln. Whether it’s real or fake, since someone dares to put it up for auction in such a grand manner, this auction is famous for its fairness. Although the organizer is a gangster.
He is a good person, but I heard that his reputation is still very high. So I wondered whether this thing at least made his appraisal experts think it was possible, so they agreed that it would be auctioned. Unfortunately, it was just a matter of fate.
I didn't get to meet him, but I met one of my elementary school classmates by chance, who was begging for food there. He also happened to have a deal with that gangster named Qi Ye, or something.
At that time, the seventh master was suspicious of his identity, so I asked Xue Zhenghao to do a favor. If the seventh master called him for verification, I asked him to say that my classmate was an old friend of his."
This is basically a circle, and now it’s time to talk about this picture. “After signing the contract with Xue Zhenghao, I went to Mong Street again, and I was still thinking about those pieces of broken porcelain. I thought
Didn't my classmate happen to have a deal with Mr. Qi? Maybe he could help me ask about those pieces of broken porcelain. Maybe I should
I'm lucky enough to meet you. Once curiosity arises, it's like a little mouse living in your heart. It scratches at nothing, but it makes you very upset."
During this topic, Xiao Nie, who had never spoken before, echoed: "It turns out that people like Mr. Cheng can also be in this situation. I thought only social animals like us would be like this."
Cheng Yu laughed and said, "Did curiosity kill the cat?" Gao Yiming nodded in agreement and said, "Just like me, I just arrived at the company a few days ago and suddenly thought of a question, our current dialect in Wu Dong
, basically it was formed after Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty brought in the Huaibei dialect of Anhui. So what was the dialect of Wu Dong like before the Ming Dynasty? For this little thing, I actually spoke in front of the computer
After checking for a whole day, nothing happened. When I basically figured it out, I found out
It's already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Curiosity really delays things." Cheng Yu smiled again and continued: "My classmate later asked Master Qi for me, but Master Qi said that the thing was also sent by a customer.
Most of his items were sent for auction. He only held auctions from time to time and took commissions from them to make up for the casino's operating losses. Therefore, after that auction, he also paid the other party tens of thousands of yuan because of the failed auction.
The owner took the things away for money and transportation expenses. The owner was from Da Nang and used to be a frequent visitor to the casino, but Qi Ye didn’t know more detailed information, so I didn’t get to see those things at all. Later I
The transaction between that classmate and Master Qi should have been quite smooth. After the transaction, he returned to China. Before leaving, he said that he gave me this "nothing card" to thank me. He said that this thing was from Vietnam a few years ago.
The jade he found in Nha Trang wasn't worth much, but he thought the jade quality was pretty good, so he bought it anyway because it wasn't expensive. He gave this thing as a gift
I, I mean, after all, I have done him a favor, otherwise he may not be able to pass the trial at Qiye." Xue Changyun's eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "Then it seems that the so-called transaction of your classmate is not
Anything that can be seen in the light. I can tell that it is Hetian jade when I hold it in my hand, and the carving of the phoenix
It’s also quite good, but it’s probably the work of a famous ancient artist in ancient times. I don’t believe it at all if you say this thing is a bargain found at a roadside stall. It’s most likely that it came out of the ground, and it’s an obvious weapon.”
Xiao Nie asked stupidly: "What is a bright weapon?"
"It's something that is buried with the dead." Cheng Yu explained. Xiao Nie said oh, but he didn't think it was bad luck or anything. He had no inhibitions. But Gao Yiming reached out and took the "nothing" sign from Cheng Yu's hand and said:
"It's not like something coming out of the ground. Although I don't know much about these things, if antique jade is buried underground, it will definitely be corroded by the soil.
If the color of the jade is eroded, it will definitely be very uneven. But the color of your piece of jade is uniform and moist overall, unlike something dug out of the ground." "If this thing is really valuable, then it is not for ordinary people.
It is affordable to wear, especially in a country like Vietnam. But this jade obviously comes from our country, so it is very likely that it was a gift from the emperor to a certain important person in Vietnam, and that person built a mausoleum after his death.
, although this piece of jade was buried with him, whether it was offered on the altar table in the mausoleum or placed in the coffin with the corpse, it is unlikely to be seriously damaged.
It is corroded and cannot come into contact with things containing minerals. The owner must have played with it for many years before his death, and the patina is very deep. Therefore, it is normal for the color to be uniform and moist."
After hearing Xue Changyun's inference, Gao Yiming nodded slowly and said: "Sure enough, it is people from your family background who know more about these things. I am a dabbler. I know it but don't know why."
In this regard, Xue Changyun was not modest at all, he just looked at Cheng Yu, because the story was not finished yet, and this innocent card was just a part of the picture. "Actually, I also saw that my classmate was not telling the truth. He
You should know that the value of this thing is not too cheap, but he may not have spent a lot of money to get it. It is very normal for the seller to not know the goods. Otherwise, he may not be willing to give this thing to me. I will help him.
It's not that big. In fact, because he doesn't know much about antiques, he still thinks that since this thing is an obvious weapon, the price must be greatly discounted, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get it so cheaply, right?
.It is even more impossible for him to tell you what Mr.
I also saw it, so I gave it to me to express my gratitude." Xue Changyun nodded and said: "It makes sense. This is a misunderstanding of many people. They always feel that the price of the artifact is greatly reduced if it is not obtained in the right way. But in fact
, how many antiques are not Ming dynasties? Aren’t the cultural relics in Sanxingdui developed by the state not Ming dynasties? It’s clear that most of them came from sacrificial pits. Aren’t the terracotta warriors and horses that came out of Qin Shihuang’s mausoleum not Ming dynasties?
?A large part of the antiques that the Eight-Power Allied Forces snatched from us were items from the imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. First, the Qing Dynasty cemeteries were almost emptied out by Sun Dianying, and then the Anti-Japanese War broke out and locals
The earth mouse set his sights on the Ming Tombs. Are these artifacts? Many things displayed in museums around the world actually come from different mausoleums. The difference is only the actions of individuals or the state, and the in-between
Have you ever changed hands several times?
Already. In the end, aren’t they all going to auction for sky-high prices?”
Cheng Yuxin said that chatting with Xue Changyun was really easy. He would help you make up for your shortcomings and cover your lies. "Then I was ready to return to China, but there was no air ticket from Fangchenggang back to Wudong that day. There were flights three days a week, so I
I had to stay one more day. So I went to a casino that I had never visited to play a few games. When I was playing, I held this idle card in my hand and played with it, rubbing the oil on my face. At that time, beside me
Sitting there was an old gentleman with white hair and beard. Later we chatted and found out that the old gentleman was an expat. He is now Vietnamese, but three generations ago he was from China. After going to Vietnam during the turmoil, he simply settled down.
He never returned to China. He is from the Yao ethnic group. After his ancestors went to Vietnam, it was precisely because of his identity as a Yao ethnic group that he could successfully live there.
The Yao people have to take root in a gathering place, otherwise it would not be so easy to be accepted."
Xiao Nie frowned and asked strangely: "There are also Yao people in Vietnam?" Cheng Yu and Xue Changyun laughed together.
But when the census was taken more than ten years ago, there were more than 700,000."
