Chapters 679 and 680: Removing the cover-up (two chapters in one)
"Young man, are you willing to transfer this item? I can give you double the price just now!"
The old man smiled and said something. Not only was the shrill voice stunned, but Chi Yong was also stunned. He sold these bronzes to Li Yang for 50,000 yuan. If it was doubled, wouldn't it be 100,000? The transaction just ended seemed to be less than 30,000 yuan.
Minutes, this value increases too quickly.
"Lao Chi, you don't have to do so much to act, right?"
The sharp voice suddenly turned around and asked in a low voice. His voice was not loud, and only he and Chi Yong could hear it.
"When have I ever done a show for you? I told you it's not simple but you don't believe it!"
Chi Yong said coldly, with a bit of regret on his face. It doesn't mean that Li Yang only likes his thing. Now that two people have taken a fancy to it, it proves that his thing is very likely.
It’s really a treasure, but no one saw it.
If it was really a treasure, he would have made a loss by selling it at this price, which was tantamount to selling it at a loss. The thought that someone was willing to pay double the price right after the sale gave him a heart-wrenching feeling.
"I'm sorry, old gentleman, I have no intention of selling this thing!"
Li Yang also looked a little surprised. After looking at it for a while, the old man dared to pay double the price to buy it back. He might have seen something.
The hidden method is very mysterious, but there are not many people who know it. Old Liu and Mr. Zhou all know it. But if this old man can see the problem so quickly, doesn't it mean that he is more powerful than Mr. Zhou and the others?
Mr. Lu Zhou only discovered the problem under Li Yang's guidance.
The copper plate was still in the old man's hand. The old man held the copper plate flatly in the palm of his hand and said softly: "Young man, I really like this object. Let's do this. I'll give you two hundred thousand!"
He had seen the process of Li Yang buying this thing just now, and he also knew the price for which Li Yang bought the thing. Two hundred thousand, which was four times the amount Li Yang spent on the thing just now. In other words, as long as Li Yang agreed,
He just bought something and resold it, and he could make three times the net profit.
This speed of making money has turned things like the gold market and stock market into clouds.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Chi Yong couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. The look of regret on his face became more intense. If someone is willing to pay 200,000 yuan, then the thing he received can be said to be a treasure. A treasure worth 200,000 yuan.
He sold it for 50,000 yuan, which makes me feel sad just thinking about it.
"It's really not a show!"
The shrill voice was also in a daze. He could clearly see the annoyance and regret on Chi Yong's face. He also understood that he would not pay a high price of 200,000 yuan for a play. This play was also done for him, and he would definitely not
Will spend 200,000 to buy something that cannot be seen through.
Hearing the old man's bid, Li Yang became even more sure that the old man must have seen something, and he might have seen that this was something that was hidden by the hidden method.
"Old sir, I like this thing too, so I can't give it up!"
Li Yang shook his head again. Even if the old man saw it, it didn't matter. After all, the thing was already his, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't want to sell it to anyone.
At this time, Li Yang was also rejoicing. Fortunately, he discovered this treasure in advance. If the old man had taken one step earlier, he might have missed this treasure. That would be the real regret.
"How about half a million?"
The old man looked straight at Li Yang and said something again that made Chi Yong and Sharp Voice's hearts beat faster. Chi Yong opened his mouth wide and looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief.
Five hundred thousand, this is not only a treasure, but also a treasure from before. It’s a shame that so many people are ignorant of the truth. Chi Yong himself has already felt that this thing must be extraordinary. Now the attitude of this old man and Li Yang
This is further verified.
It's a pity that the 500,000 yuan was not his. It was earned by others, and it was earned away in front of his eyes. Thinking of this, Chi Yong's heart felt like a needle pricking his heart.
"Old sir, I'm really sorry..."
"I'm talking about U.S. dollars!"
Before Li Yang finished speaking, the old man added another sentence. After listening to the old man's words, Li Yang's eyes widened, while Chi Yong and Jianzi opened their mouths wide, completely dumbfounded.
.
Five hundred thousand US dollars, which is more than three million yuan, is enough money to buy a very good fine bronze. Now this old man wants to buy an inconspicuous copper plate in his hand.
Li Yang was also very confused on his face. He even doubted whether this person could see through the things inside like him? Otherwise, how could he dare to pay such a high price to buy it? Even if he recognized the hidden method, he would not
Before knowing the value of the hidden things inside, few people had the courage of the old man in front of me.
Five hundred thousand dollars, Wang Jiajia also raised her head in surprise and looked at Li Yang.
The things I just bought for 50,000 yuan, and I haven’t even picked up the warmer yet, now it turns into 500,000 US dollars. The difference is so huge that it’s hard to imagine, but this also proves that Li Yang is not wrong. This is true.
It's a nice baby.
Liu Gang also nodded slowly. He was not surprised. He had an expression on his face that I knew. Every time Li Yang looks at something, it must be the same.
"Old sir, I'm really sorry. I'm not short of money, and I'm also very curious about what kind of treasure is hidden under this hidden method!"
Li Yang sighed softly and said slowly. He directly told the hidden method to tell the old man that he knew the true value of this thing and asked the old man to stop thinking about buying it from him.
After Li Yang said the name of the invisible method, the old man's face showed a surprised look.
Li Yang is right about one thing. He is indeed not short of money now. This copper plate may seem inconspicuous, but it is a real treasure. No matter how much money the other party offers, he will not sell it. It is suspicious if the money is gone.
No matter how much you earn, it will be difficult to get it back if it is gone.
Chi Yong and Sharp Throat looked confused. They didn't know what the Unexpected Technique was. But in their eyes, Li Yang was a fool. He couldn't sell it for half a million dollars. How could there be such a valuable bronze in China?
It can be said that there are very few.
At this time, Chi Yong's heart was bleeding. He wished he could snatch the things back and sell them to the old man.
For half a million U.S. dollars or more than three million yuan, he can open a small antique shop in Beijing without having to work hard to shovel land. And he just sold this treasure worth half a million U.S. dollars.
Yes, Chi Yong is doing very well without vomiting blood at this time.
Neither Li Yang nor Chi Yong doubted what the old man said. The old man could give people a sense of conviction when he spoke.
"Very good. There are not many people at your age who know the hidden method and can see the hidden method. What's your name, little brother?"
The old man nodded slightly and did not increase the price to buy Li Yang's things. Since people knew that the things were concealed treasures, it was naturally impossible to sell the treasures.
"Thank you, old man. My surname is Li. You can just call me Xiao Li!"
Li Yang hurriedly replied, the old man in front of him does know the hidden method, and his ability in antique appraisal is definitely not inferior. At the most basic level, he is at the level of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liu. Such people deserve Li Yang's respect.
Li Yang also had a lot of curiosity in his heart. He had seen most experts of his age and level in China, but this old man was very strange, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
"Your surname is Li?"
The old man's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded suddenly with a smile, and then said: "I understand, Xiao Li, since this treasure has no chance with me, can I make another unkind request?"
"Please tell me!" Li Yang nodded.
"I want to see what kind of treasure this hidden method is. Can you remove the cover of the hidden method now and let me take a look?"
The old man said slowly, and looked straight at Li Yang after speaking. The old man's request was not too much. Knowing the appearing and hiding method, and seeing the treasure hidden by the appearing and hiding method, I am afraid everyone would want to see it.
Look what the treasure inside looks like.
When Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou saw the Xuande Furnace concealed by the appearing method, they were also anxious to remove the concealing method and see what the treasure really looked like.
"Old sir, I'm afraid this is not the right place!"
Li Yang glanced around, and finally shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't care about this request, but this was a football field. There were no tools and no conditions. Besides, it was very messy here, so he rashly took out Li Yang's things to confirm.
It will cause a sensation and let more people know about him.
Li Yang was still thinking about continuing to pick up missing items on Taobao. How would he go about picking up missing items when everyone knew him?
"I know, we can go find a suitable place outside!"
Seeing that Li Yang did not refuse, but just pointed out that the place was not suitable, the old man smiled and nodded. This place was indeed not suitable for unveiling the veil of the hidden method.
"Can!"
This time Li Yang did not refuse and nodded happily. He also wanted to see the true face of the treasure inside as soon as possible.
It is not difficult to remove the hidden method, and it does not waste much time. After removing it, Li Yang can come back and continue to look at things. Besides, there is still one day tomorrow, which is enough time for Li Yang.
"Okay, little brother, please come with me!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction, with gratitude in his eyes. The two young men behind him had been curiously looking at the inconspicuous copper plate in the old man's hand.
The old man carefully handed the copper plate back to Li Yang, and walked outside together with Li Yang. Chi Yong and Jianzi looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Liu Gang was holding the box of bronzes and walking slowly behind. He was waiting for Zhao Kui and Haidong, asking them to take the box back to the car first. His duty was to follow Li Yang closely.
There were many people coming in and out of the stadium. A few people left without attracting anyone's attention. After a while, everyone left the stadium.
There was a Rolls-Royce limousine parked at the entrance of the stadium, and the old man walked directly towards the car.
Seeing the old man, the driver of the car hurriedly got out of the car and helped the old man open the back door. After seeing this scene, the sharp voice no longer had any doubts. Even if these people were really acting, it would be impossible for him to pretend that they were acting like this.
He rented the car, but the rental price was more expensive than the price he wanted to sell it for.
After understanding this, he was also upset in his heart. He had the best chance to get this thing first, but he was pushed away by himself.
"Xiao Li, come up!"
The old man stood in front of the car, smiled and extended his hand to Li Yang. Li Yang hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said softly: "Old sir, I remember there is a teahouse not far ahead. There should be single rooms there. Let's go there."
That’s it, no need to drive!”
"Okay, let's walk there together!" The old man smiled and nodded, and walked forward with Li Yang. The driver of the Rolls-Royce hurriedly closed the door and followed slowly in the car.
The teahouse that Li Yang mentioned is not far away. It is about 700 to 800 meters away. It takes only a few minutes to walk. This teahouse is not small in scale. The lower three floors of this building are all teahouses. There are private rooms with a very nice environment.
.
The old man directly asked for a private room and went in. Chi Yong and Jianzi, who had been following them, hesitated for a while and finally followed them in.
Li Yang and the old man both glanced at them, but no one spoke.
One of them is the previous owner of this copper plate, and the other is the person who almost became the new owner. It's okay to let them stay and take a look, but seeing the treasure inside is not necessarily a good thing for them.
"Xiao Li, thank you very much, please sit down!"
Entering the private room, the old man smiled and said to Li Yang that Li Yang agreed to let him see the true face hidden under the copper plate, which really made him very grateful.
"Rhett, go prepare something..."
After Li Yang sat down, the old man gave a few instructions to a young man behind him. Li Yang understood very clearly that these things were the materials used to clear the hidden method. If the old man did not prepare them, Li Yang would also ask Liu Gang.
Help me buy these things.
"Li Yang, you said this thing was not originally like this, but was deliberately made so ugly?"
Wang Jiajia was looking at the copper plate curiously. In terms of appearance, this copper plate was really ordinary. Apart from the round shape, only a few patterns on it looked better, but there were obvious signs of imitation.
From these imitation traces, Li Yangneng could tell that this copper plate was deliberately concealed by concealment in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, there was a collection boom, but the current situation was very turbulent, and good things had no strength.
It is absolutely impossible to protect it.
During that period, there were indeed some important things that were protected by the hidden method, but many of them had to be concealed by themselves. After all, they wanted to appreciate and collect things, and they could not hide them all the time.
The appearance and concealment method was used to cover up, and there was an accident. There are not many similar treasures that have been passed down to this day. The chance of encountering them can be said to be very low. Li Yang was able to see two pieces and get both of them. It can be said to be unique.
Yes.
"Yes, but don't look at it now. It may look very beautiful when you clean it up later!" Li Yang said softly.
"It's really strange. Why do you make good things look so ugly?"
Wang Jiajia's curiosity was also aroused. Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
When he first saw the Xuande furnace that used the hidden method, he had the same feeling as Wang Jiajia at this time. It often happens that bad things are made to look good and fool people, but good things are deliberately disguised.
There are really not many ugly things. If it were not for the protection of the baby, people in the past probably would not have invented such a method.
"Xiao Li, drink tea!"
The old man asked the people here to bring a pot of the best tea in their store. Li Yang also brewed it while talking to Wang Jiajia. He also poured a cup for Li Yang himself. Chi Yong and the others did not have this treatment and were waiters.
Pour them tea.
"Thank you, sir. I still don't know your surname?"
Li Yang stood up in a hurry. This old gentleman had a very elegant temperament, and the longer he was in contact with him, the deeper his feeling became.
"My surname is Liang. I just came back from Singapore to visit relatives. I happened to encounter such an event, so I came to take a look. Unexpectedly, I actually saw something interesting!"
The old man said with a smile. After that, he looked at the copper plate in Wang Jiajia's hand with regret. The old man named Liang also heard someone arguing and came over to take a look out of curiosity. Unfortunately, he was later than Li Yang.
In one step, Li Yang had already completed the transaction when he arrived.
After seeing the thing, he didn't recognize it as a cover up by the appearing and hiding method. He just felt something was wrong, so he took the initiative to borrow the treasure from Li Yang's hand and looked at it carefully, and then he discovered the appearing and hiding method on it.
After discovering it, Mr. Liang had the idea of buying it. He knew the value of such things better than Li Yang.
Even in the past, there were not many people who knew how to use the hidden method. However, the things that can be used to use the hidden method are all high-quality products. The high-quality products in the past are now national treasures.
This is why he dared to bid half a million US dollars. He believed that no matter what was inside, it would be worth the price, so he offered a sky-high price. What made him regretful was that Li Yang also knew clearly about this thing.
Value, not sold to him.
Li Yang chuckled, feeling suddenly enlightened in his heart.
It turns out that this old man is not from China. No wonder Li Yang has never seen him. Singapore is a small country and there are even fewer people who are so strong in antiques. If you go back and ask the old man, you will know who he is. Li Yang
I believe the old man must know.
After a few cups of tea, the young man named Rhett came back and brought a new basin.
Seeing these things, Mr. Liang's eyes became brighter. He cleared away the tea on the table, asked Rhett to place the basin in the middle, and poured water into it.
"Xiao Li, come on!"
After making these preparations, Mr. Liang said softly, and Li Yang nodded slowly and asked the waiter for another bag of ordinary tea leaves.
Li Yang had seen the method of removing concealment once, and this time he could try it for himself. Mr. Liang nodded gently when he saw Li Yang asking the waiter for tea. Li Yang did understand this. Strong tea is the best method for removing concealment.
A necessary prop.
The tea was delivered quickly, and Li Yang made a cup of very strong tea. Except for Mr. Liang and Liu Gang, everyone else's eyes widened.
Chi Yong and Jianzi looked at each other in confusion. At this time, they both understood what the hidden method was, but what Li Yang did made them unable to understand. They were just like Li Yang back then.
When Li Yang lifted the cover of Xuande Lu in Shanghai, he also didn't understand the strong tea brewed by Mr. Liu.
While making strong tea, Li Yang opened several bottles brought by the young man next to him, smelled them, and finally poured them into the basin slowly in proportion.
The proportions that Li Yang poured were based on what Mr. Zhou had done before. Li Yang didn't understand the real use of these things, but it was no problem to compare them with others. Everything that Mr. Zhou did in the past was firmly held by him.
recorded in my mind.
Mr. Liang nodded again. Li Yang's ratio was right, and it was obvious that Li Yang did understand a lot.
After mixing it, Li Yang picked up a new towel, dipped it in the mixed water and gently wiped the copper plate. Every time he wiped it, something would peel off. Mr. Liang's expression also became very serious, and he stood there.
Next to Li Yang, he watched all his movements motionless.
Chi Yong and Jian Yan's eyes widened. They understood just now that the current surface of the copper plate is not its original appearance. It was deliberately concealed. The copper plate has another appearance. What exactly does it look like after removing the disguise?
You can see it later.
The two of them have always been dubious about this statement. They have been in the circle for a long time. They have never heard of this method of deliberately disguising good things as bad and making it difficult for people to see.
Said.
"The patina is all gone!"
Wang Jiajia suddenly shouted. Li Yang couldn't wipe off a lot of green patina every time he wiped it. Gradually, the bright copper body inside was revealed. Under the reflection of the light in the elegant room, these copper bodies were not completely revealed.
It shows its nobility.
Chi Yong and Jian Yanzi both opened their mouths. There really was something else about this copper plate. When they saw the reflected light, they knew it must be a treasure.
Li Yang continued wiping, and after a while the water in the basin changed color.
This copper plate is not small, with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters and a weight of about five or six kilograms. However, it still requires more writing than the Xuande furnace. After ten minutes, Li Yang wiped off all the patina on it.
The shiny black copper body inside was revealed.
After wiping these, Li Yang pinched off some of the water from the soaked tea leaves and gently applied it on the copper. With Li Yang's movements, the entire copper plate became brighter and brighter.
Chi Yong and the sharp voice's breathing became rapid. This is not an ordinary copper plate. It is clearly a beautiful and solemn large bronze mirror. This bronze mirror is a good bronze mirror that opened the door to the Tang Dynasty. No wonder Mr. Liang just wanted to
Paying half a million US dollars to acquire this treasure, such a beautiful mirror from the Tang Dynasty, is more than that.
After seeing the true form of Bronze Mirror, both of them had only one emotion left in their hearts, and that was regret.
"This is the auspicious animal grape pattern mirror!"
Mr. Liang suddenly called out, his voice was not quiet, and his eyes were wide open. The appearance of the invisible method has not been completely removed, but the appearance of the baby can indeed be seen.
Li Yang smiled, did not speak, and continued to wipe the bronze mirror. Once the invisible method is removed, it must be completely cleaned, otherwise the baby will not be protected in the future, but damaged.
A few minutes later, Li Yang finally finished all this. When Li Yang completely displayed this simple and solemn copper-black ancient mirror, everyone held their breath, even Wang Jiajia, who didn't know much about antiques.
No exception.
The ancient bronze mirror in front of you really gives people a shocking sense of beauty.
