At that time, he learned that so many bronze drums had been unearthed in Lingshan, and Chen Wenzhe almost couldn't help but go there and take a look.
In fact, the bronze drums they have are so well made and there are so many of them. Who knows if any of them are still buried underground?
Furthermore, Chen Wenzhe is a bit mentally unbalanced.
So many bronze drums have been unearthed, and even more have been lost to the outside world. Why hasn't he encountered an authentic one?
Recently, he has also released a lot of news through Cao Qingchun. Among the antiques he focused on acquiring are Tang Qin and Lingshan Drum!
Of course, other porcelain he needs, even fragments, are within the scope of the reward.
The reason why I mentioned the bronze drum today is probably because of Wu Er’s phone call. I don’t know if the bronze drum in his hand is real.
Since he wants to come to the Antique City and meet Chen Wenzhe, he should meet him. What if it is true?
Thinking of the bronze drum unearthed at Lingshan Mountain, Chen Wenzhe still believed that it was a real bronze drum.
According to statistics, a total of 112 bronze drums have been discovered in Lingshan in history.
Among them, during the Ming Dynasty (1620) in Lingshan, a bronze drum was unearthed from the "Tonggu Ridge" in Jiuzhouwei, Jiuzhou Town;
There are 31 pages during the Qing Dynasty, 8 during the Republic of China, and 72 since the founding of New China.
The actual number unearthed is far more than this number.
However, due to the passage of time, oral transmission has been lost, so it is not yet possible to get close to the actual number of unearthed bronze drums.
Many bronze drums have been unearthed in Lingshan since ancient times, but they have also been lost a lot.
There are no traces of the bronze drums unearthed during the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as during the Republic of China.
Due to the lack of cultural relics institutions from 1950 to 1979, 32 of the 44 bronze drums unearthed were lost and only 12 remain.
From 1980 to the present, 19 bronze drums have been unearthed in the county. Except for 2 that have been lost, all have been collected and collected by the Lingshan Museum. So far, a total of 25 bronze drums have been collected.
There are also Xiguang Museum and Dongguang Museum each collecting 4 Lingshan bronze drums.
The reason I thought of this was entirely because of the photos provided by Wu Er. No matter how you look at the bronze drum inside, it doesn't look like it was unearthed in recent years.
And as long as it was not unearthed in recent years, there must be traces of being handed down from generation to generation.
If it had been older, maybe I could have bought it legally.
After all, too many bronze drums were lost in Lingshan.
Not to mention other periods, just in the thirty years from 1950 to 1979, more than thirty faces disappeared without a trace.
Chen Wenzhe certainly doesn't believe that so many bronze drums have been damaged, destroyed, or even recast.
There are smart people in all eras. Some people vandalize, smash, and rob, while others take advantage of the opportunities of vandalism, vandalism, and looting to collect cultural relics.
So, anything could happen in those days.
I talked a lot with Ma Chengji, and the central idea was that he wanted to get an authentic bronze drum, and the management committee would give him support, and then he could help make a fake bronze drum at a low price.
Of course, Ma Chengji is not stupid, and by the way, he wants to make the fake Jingyun Bell free of charge.
This is impossible, because it is really expensive to imitate Jingyun Bell!
In the end, Ma Chengcheng was promised a low price, but how low the base price was would have to be carefully discussed.
Of course, the promises Chen Wenzhe received were also false.
At the very least, there must be no crime involved, and it is not easy to comply with regulations in the bronze trade.
This point is more difficult to handle. Otherwise, Chen Wenzhe would have had the opportunity to collect several tripods.
Three tripods and two guis, he still remembers them till now.
It's a pity that it was just unearthed and cannot be kept in private collections.
However, you can’t collect real things, you can collect some high imitations!
When he has time, he will definitely go to the school museum to touch the three tripods and two guis. Then he can make a set of them.
After seeing off Ma Chengji and Xue Jianming, Cao Qingchun also left, and he still had to contact the big customer.
It would be best to let him produce the picture, and then Chen Wenzhe can make a statue of Guan Gong, which will save him more trouble.
After everyone left, Chen Wenzhe sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
It is not easy to be legal and compliant when buying and selling bronzes.
Most of the unearthed products are illegal and can only be sold on the black market.
The rest are fine, the ones handed down from ancestors are the best.
If you want to operate, you must prove that it is not illegal or fraudulent.
In this case, you must use a regular auction house, and they have many ways to auction it.
Since we can even auction it, we can naturally help with obtaining identification.
There are several legal ways to obtain bronzes, including inheritance, receiving gifts, purchasing from cultural relics stores, and purchasing from auction houses.
Of course, it is also legal for cultural relics legally owned by individual citizens to be exchanged with each other or transferred in accordance with the law.
This is not so easy to operate.
That kid Wu Er is considered a human being, and there is almost no need to consider whether his things are legal or not.
At this time, there was a commotion outside. Before Chen Wenzhe could go out to watch the excitement, the excitement automatically came to his shop.
Seeing a few people carrying several large things about to enter, Li Jinli immediately stopped them.
"Don't carry it in, let's go to the old store!"
With that said, Li Jinli led Wu Er and others to the old Yi Nian Hall, which was only about ten square meters.
Now this house has become the warehouse of Yi Nian Tang, but the things inside have been sold very quickly recently, so now it is empty.
Chen Wenzhe followed Wu Er and the others, and as soon as he arrived at the store, he immediately looked at the things being carried by the six big men.
The six big men put down their things and immediately walked out of the store.
Therefore, at this time, there were Chen Wenzhe, Li Jinli and Wu Er in the store.
"With such a big commotion, it seems that Brother Wu Er is more confident this time!" Li Jinli said with a smile.
Li Jinli was still very happy. The louder the noise, the better things were.
Wu Eryi raised his head with a proud look on his face.
"My three treasures have legitimate origins. Do you know how much I spent to get them? I brought a lawyer with me, signed a formal contract, and even went to the local notary office to have it notarized, so I can't hide the price. It's three hundred for each piece.
Tens of thousands, a total of tens of millions spent!”
Chen Wenzhe raised his head and looked at Wu Er, when did he become so proud?
Something is wrong. Is there any force behind this guy?
This guy has worked so hard for these three bronzes, and he must have a purpose.
Looking at the things in front of him, Chen Wenzhe was a little heartbroken. It couldn't be transported like gold, but it was actually carried like a pig?
Although the items are relatively large, there is no need for two people to carry them, but four people? That would be more sensational, right?
Besides, since it’s tied with a rope and you want to lift it to attract attention, why not wrap it more exposed?
However, they were wrapped fairly tightly and were only slightly exposed, allowing people to see that they were three large bronze vessels.
This is more interesting, Wu Er is getting smarter and smarter!
