The first box was not big, so Mr. Huang carefully took out a box from it.
All the experts in the audience were staring at the stage. Many of the experts present knew Mr. Huang. At least one-third of them knew that this was a highly respected master, the Taishan Beidou in the Hong Kong collection industry.
.
Mr. Huang is a member of the Chinese expert delegation. He appears at the end and is obviously the leader of the group.
This also made everyone more curious about the collection he brought.
Brother Joseph slowly sat up straight and stared straight at the stage. At this event, the two of them performed better than Mr. Huang, but they always maintained a respect for Mr. Huang.
The knowledge of Chinese porcelain between the two people was originally learned from Mr. Huang. This is an indisputable fact. In China, there is a master-student relationship between the two and Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang had already opened the box and gently took out the treasure inside.
"Xi, is this Xi?"
"There are not many seals made of mutton-fat jade!"
"This is the Qianlong Jade Seal!"
Seeing the treasure displayed in Mr. Huang's hand, the experts in the audience immediately started talking in a low voice. What Mr. Huang took out this time was also a jade seal. He had the experience of the first day of China's national jade seal. At this time, the experts
They all have a strong interest in Fang Baiyuxi.
"Qianlong Jade Seal, yes, this is Qianlong Jade Seal!"
Song Xuemin suddenly shouted, with a look of excitement on his face. The Qianlong Jade Seal was not a national jade seal, but it was still a priceless treasure.
Xi, before the Qin Dynasty, it was called a seal. After the Qin Dynasty, only the emperor's seal could be called a seal, and the seals of palace ministers could only be called a seal, but could no longer be called a seal.
This was also the rule set by Qin Shihuang in order to show off himself. This rule was still used until the Qing Dynasty.
The Qianlong Jade Seal is the seal of Qianlong, not a national jade seal. Qianlong had the most jade seals in his dynasty, many times more than his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi.
A few years ago, at Christie's Hong Kong auction, a Qianlong jade seal sold for hundreds of millions, setting a record high.
This square seal is engraved with the Qianlong seal. The overall weight is more than one thousand grams. It is made of mutton-fat jade. Both in terms of jade quality and meaning, it is an absolutely superior work and an absolute national treasure.
This is the first collection that Mr. Huang took out.
The experts looked at Fang Yuxi carefully, and they all started talking quietly.
This square jade seal is definitely worth more than Napoleon's sword. No wonder Mr. Huang didn't worry at all when he came to power. With such a treasure, there is really no need to worry.
Napoleon was very powerful, but Qianlong was also a famous emperor of the Qing Dynasty. There was no difference in status. Qianlong's jade seal, to a certain extent, was no less significant than Napoleon's sword.
Another point is that Napoleon's sword has been repaired, and the sword's handle has been rusted, which is an important factor affecting its value. The Qianlong jade seals are all mutton-fat jade, and even these jade materials are priceless.
A treasure, not to mention it also has important historical significance.
In terms of craftsmanship, the Qianlong Jade Seal was a top carver, and those who could carve the Jade Seal were the imperial craftsmen of the time.
In today's terms, it is a top-notch carver. Although Napoleon's sword is good, its quality is slightly inferior. This can be seen from the fact that this sword is rusty.
To sum up, in every aspect, this is a better national treasure than Napoleon's sword.
National treasure, see national treasure again.
The atmosphere in the venue was stirred up again. Mr. Liang and Mr. Kong all cheered loudly. These people all have a certain relationship with Mr. Huang. They knew each other long before Hong Kong was returned to the motherland.
Experts from other countries also discussed quietly.
Everyone's eyes were sharp. Huang Lao's seal was stronger than Napoleon's sword. Perhaps Qianlong's reputation was not as good as Napoleon's in Europe, but in terms of status and the territory he commanded, Qianlong was not inferior to Napoleon at all.
Let’s talk about the value. Who can tell that the value of this square seal is definitely not inferior to the Qianlong jade seal that was auctioned a few years ago and is worth hundreds of millions. In other words, the value of this square seal is almost 100 million yuan.
The Qianlong Jade Seal was slowly displayed, and the experts in the audience also talked softly. Mr. Huang picked up the second box and placed it on the treasure display platform.
Before the box was opened, Mr. Huang had a strange smile on his face. He glanced at Li Yang in the audience, and then at the Japanese expert representative seat.
This box is also a rectangular box, slightly shorter than Li Yang's box. After Mr. Huang looked at the audience, he slowly opened the box and took out the treasure inside.
As soon as the baby was unveiled, the experts in the audience started talking about it.
Especially for the Japanese experts, two of the five remaining Japanese experts stood up and looked at the stage in astonishment.
What Mr. Huang took out was a knife holder with a knife on it. Judging from the appearance, this is a typical Japanese samurai sword. This knife is not long and has a scabbard. It is placed quietly on the knife holder.
On the shelf.
Seeing this knife, even Li Yang had a look of surprise on his face.
Mr. Huang stood on the stage, slowly picked up the Japanese sword, and gently pulled it out. The bright blade underneath made many experts close their eyes unnaturally.
Many experts have a common idea in mind: good knife.
The five Japanese experts looked even more shocked, staring blankly at the Japanese sword on the stage. After Huang Lao took out the sword, he looked up and down, and then slowly said: "This sword is called Onikiri, one of the most famous Japanese swords."
One, it came into my hands by chance a few years ago. Please appreciate it and appraise it!"
Onikiri?
Not to mention the Japanese experts, even Li Yang was stunned for a moment.
The Onikiri is a famous Japanese sword, also known as the Mustache Kiri. It is paired with another famous Japanese sword, the Knee-Kiri. It is a famous pair of knives in Japan. Japanese people usually like to carry two knives, one long and one short, that's how it came about.
This knife is not only familiar to people in the collecting world, but also to many people who are not collectors.
This is thanks to the famous Japanese cartoons and comics. This knife has appeared in many cartoons. There, this knife has a more pleasant name, Onikimaru.
This is also a long-lost famous sword in Japan. No one expected it to appear here, let alone in the hands of Chinese expert representatives.
Li Yang looked at the knife on the stage, and the smile on his lips became stronger and stronger.
No wonder when everyone was anxious at first, Huang Lao didn't seem too anxious. This famous sword is more famous than the demon sword Muramasa. Although it is not as good as the Tiancongyun sword, it is also one of Japan's famous swords.
This sword is not comparable to the Chuanguo Yuxi in terms of meaning, but it is comparable in value. The Chuanguo Yuxi is of no use to the Japanese, but the pursuit of this sword is quite intense.
There are still many Japanese people who love swords, and Onikiri is what they have been trying to find.
The five Japanese experts all looked a little dull and looked at the stage blankly.
Kuroda Kobayashi, who knows the most about knives, is not here at this time, but these five experts are not mediocre. Those who can participate in the event have a certain reputation in themselves.
They can all see that this sword is indeed a famous Japanese sword, especially the inscription on the sword, which further proves the identity of this sword.
Onikiri's appearance was another shock to the Japanese.
Three of the five Japanese experts looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces.
There was the Amancongyun Sword before, and now there is the Onikiri Famous Sword. In this treasure appraisal conference, Japan has become a complete laughing stock. The artifacts and treasures that many people in the country are pursuing are all in the hands of others.
And they, at first, claimed to be carrying someone else's national treasure, but in the end it turned out to be such a farce.
It would be great if Mitsui Yasushi's Imperial Seal was genuine, but unfortunately it was a fake. If it was true, you could exchange the Imperial Imperial Seal for the Amancongyun Sword or Onikiri, and you could always get one back. Furthermore, there is such a thing, and
It won't make them so embarrassed.
This time, the Japanese people's face was completely lost.
The big screen on the stage began to display this famous Japanese sword in an all-round way. There were many experts in the audience who loved collecting weapons. The Japanese sword is one of the three most famous swords in the world, so it naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Looking at the knife on the stage, many experts nodded silently. The blade of this knife is bright and the blade is glowing with cold light. You can tell it is extraordinary at a glance.
Mr. Huang didn't do the test, and it's not necessary at this time. This knife must be very sharp.
Looking at Mr. Huang on the stage, Li Yang felt grateful in his heart.
This knife should have been prepared by Mr. Huang without knowing that he had a treasure. He has been working hard for national honor. This is the preparation that Mr. Huang made, the preparation to slap the Japanese hard in the face.
It's just that Mr. Huang didn't expect that Li Yang would solve the previous matter so perfectly, so the preparations he made had no effect.
In this case, Mr. Huang could completely hide this famous Japanese sword and just take out the Qianlong Jade Seal. That Qianlong Jade Seal is enough to be the final treasure.
But Mr. Huang didn't. He still took out the Japanese sword and let the Japanese know that the sword was in his hand.
Onikiri is not as famous as Amancong Unken, but in terms of popular appeal, Onikiri is much greater than Amancong Unken.
The Amancong Unsword is just a symbol of the Japanese royal family. Ordinary people would not think of collecting it, and they cannot collect it. But Onikiri is different. All Japanese sword lovers want to collect this famous sword.
To a certain extent, Mr. Huang also relieved Li Yang's pressure.
At least the Japanese below will not only target Li Yang. Those who want to acquire the Amancongyun Sword are all the emperor's people, and the people among the people will focus more on Onikiri.
This also reduced Li Yang's pressure, which was why Li Yang was moved.
In fact, this is the case. When Mr. Huang took out the knife, he really wanted to relieve Li Yang from some pressure. Mr. Huang is old and has high prestige. It is impossible for ordinary people to buy things from him.
.
Huang Lao stood leisurely on the stage. When many experts below were admiring the baby, their eyes also felt enlightened for a while.
Many smart people have guessed Huang Lao's purpose, and also guessed Huang Lao's purpose of bringing this knife to the event. This made experts who knew Huang Lao respect and admire the old man even more.
While looking at Mr. Huang, many people also thought of Dean Huang.
Huang Lao and Dean Huang, two brothers, are both celebrities in the international collecting community.
Dean Huang is the helmsman of the Forbidden City, a high-ranking deputy ministerial official in China, and concurrently serves as the deputy minister of culture.
But in terms of fame, he is far inferior to his brother who is idle at home. Mr. Huang is a forthright man and has friends all over the world. He has been in Hong Kong for so many years and has become a distinctive flag in Hong Kong.
What Mr. Huang did this time was completely in line with his character.
If there hadn't been Li Yang's initial rumors, Huang Lao would have been able to give the Japanese a counterattack. Li Yang had been there before, but now Huang Lao's actions were the icing on the cake and could relieve some of Li Yang's pressure.
Many people have noticed the little actions of the Japanese in the past few days. While they are disdainful, they also admire Li Yang even more.
The host spoke, and then the appraisal began. Mr. Huang's two treasures kept flashing red lights.
This time, it was a red light and no one thought it was fake.
When Mr. Huang walked down from the stage, the smile on his lips was still strong, and all the Chinese experts below gave him thumbs up.
As expected of Mr. Huang, the treasures he brought out made everyone admire him the most.
After Mr. Huang came down, Song Xuemin came on stage next. After seeing Mr. Huang's two treasures, Song Xuemin's face showed a wry smile. Mr. Huang's treasures destroyed his last bit of self-confidence.
He only brought one treasure, and its value was not low, but it was not as good as Huang Lao's two treasures.
After shaking his head, Song Xuemin slowly walked to the stage.
This event also broadened his horizons and got to know more capable people. Although his confidence was a bit lacking, he did not regret participating in this event.
On the contrary, he was very glad that he came. This was definitely an event worth participating in.
Song Xuemin stood in front of the treasure display stage with a box in hand. The voices of the experts in the audience were much lower. Everyone knew that this was China's last expert representative.
Generally speaking, the most dazzling event in this event is the Chinese experts. Now everyone has a kind of expectation for the treasures brought by Song Xuemin.
Song Xuemin's box slowly opened and he took out a jade carving work from inside.
This is a jade ornament, and it is a very rare landscape jade ornament. A dark green jade belt passes through the jade body, forming a natural river.
On both sides of the river, there are hills with exposed loess and lush green mountains. On both sides of the river, there is a pure white river bed. The whole jade carving looks vivid, like a beautiful scroll.
“Great rivers and mountains!”
Over at the Southeast Asian delegates' table, Mr. Liang suddenly shouted, with a look of deep envy on his face.
Dahaoheshan is the name of this jadeite ornament. This is a rare three-color jadeite, consisting of yellow, green and white.
This piece of jade originally fell into the hands of Cixi. Cixi loved jade. Everyone in the world knew this. She gave this raw material to the jade carving master in the palace.
Unfortunately, many jade carving masters don’t know how to start with this multi-colored jadeite.
It is such a rare three-color jadeite, and it is so big that it cannot be carved into ordinary things. If the carved thing dissatisfied the Queen Mother, they would all lose their heads.
Several jade carving masters gathered together to discuss, but in the end no one came up with a good solution. In their hearts, they had no idea what would be the most suitable carving for this piece of jade. In this case, they did not even dare to carry out the project.
.
I don’t know what to carve into, so blindly cutting off the jade can only destroy this piece of jade. No matter how many heads they have, they can’t cut it off.
Finally, a jade carving master surnamed Zhou came up with an idea and took over the carving of this piece of jade. He used the colors on it and distributed them reasonably to carve out a great river and mountain like the landscape of Guilin.
The finished product was sent to Empress Dowager Cixi, and it was indeed Long Yan's great joy. Several jade carving masters were rewarded, and the master named Zhou received the most reward.
This great treasure was later awarded to Minister Ronglu by Cixi. After Ronglu's death, it is said that this treasure entered the palace again, and then was taken to the northeast by Puyi, and there was no news after that.
Many people thought that this treasure would fall into the hands of the Japanese, but they did not expect that it would appear in the hands of Song Xuemin today. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
The jade quality of this jade carving is not very good, it is just an ordinary gold wire type, but its historical significance is different, and the carving is very exquisite. This is second only to the jade cabbage, the treasure of the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
The value of jade carvings is definitely not inferior to Napoleon's sword.
This treasure is also one of Song Xuemin's most beloved collections.
Song Xuemin loves jade, especially jade. He was so surprised that he couldn't sleep well for several days after receiving this treasure. This time he came to participate in the event. He chose this one from the many collections at home, which shows that he is very interested in it.
The importance of a treasure.
Four large screens began to continuously show close-ups of this jade carving.
The enlarged jade carvings look even more charming on the screen. On the green river, there are two small boats. On both sides of the river, there are shiny pebbles. On both sides, there are steep cliffs and lush green.
of mountains.
The entire ornament is carved from a piece of jade, and the carving technique is skillful and natural. Many places are simply touched upon, giving it a natural feeling.
"This jade ornament is called 'Great River and Mountain'. Please appreciate it and appraise it!"
Song Xuemin clasped his fists on the stage and said something softly, while all the experts in the audience were talking quietly, and many of them kept nodding their heads while speaking.
The last two experts from China did not disappoint them. The treasures they brought were very good. This jade ornament was not as good as the Qianlong Jade Seal, but it was still a rare treasure. Many people pressed the button on the red light while talking.
At the Chinese expert representative seat, all the red lights were turned on. Song Xuemin's appearance on the stage also meant that this time all the Chinese experts took the stage to show off their treasures.
When the lights turned red, Song Xuemin breathed a sigh of relief and walked off the stage with a smile.
The treasures that pass the test do not need to be re-appraised. They are genuine products recognized by all experts and are unanimously recognized by many authoritative experts in the world.
Going through such a formality is equivalent to giving your baby an authoritative appraisal that cannot be compared with any certificate.
After Song Xuemin came back, Mr. Huang immediately congratulated him, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhou and others also whispered their congratulations.
Li Yang also felt slightly relieved. He was the captain of the twelve experts in this event. Now that all the experts have successfully taken the stage one by one, he has completed more than half of his work this time.
After the jade ornaments from Dahaoheshan were appraised, the activity continued.
Mr. Liang from Southeast Asia finally took the stage. What he showed was a Zhou Dynasty bronze ware, a square-shaped bronze ware, which was not small in size and not low in value.
This bronze vessel also attracted the attention of many people, and also made many experts sigh.
The closer we get to the end, the more good treasures will come out. The value of this Fang Zun is no less than the jade ornament just now. For such a precious bronze, except for the Zhougong Ding brought by the Koreans in this event, it is impossible to compare.
.
Time passed slowly, and the red lights on the scene kept turning on, with several black lights in between. The atmosphere of the event was aroused again and again. The more time passed, the more the experts felt.
A feeling of reluctance.
Everyone knows that today is the only time left for treasure appraisal and appreciation.
****
Outside the convention and exhibition center, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle was parked. Aoki Weio, Yamamoto Taro, Mitsui Yasu and two unfamiliar middle-aged men were sitting in the car.
Among them was a man in his forties, with a Chinese-character face and eyebrows. He looked very energetic and was sitting quietly in the back seat with his eyes closed.
Aoki and others looked at him carefully. This person was Ichiro Nakamura, who arrived in Toronto just last night. He was also the emperor's special envoy. His mission this time was to take back the Amancong Cloud Sword.
Ichiro Nakamura is not well-known in Japan, but his reputation in the world of gambling is not small.
This is a master of gambling and a die-hard loyalist of the Emperor. He is the one who proposed the terms of the bet this time. In his heart, he wants to bring back the Tiancongyun Sword without any representatives, so that his ability can be shown.
As for the exchange, that is the emperor's wish.
If the Tian Cong Yun Sword can be successfully brought back, the Emperor does not want to cause so much trouble.
Next to Ichiro Nakamura is a thin man in his thirties. He looks extremely proud. Mitsui Yasushi looks at him with envy and jealousy in his eyes from time to time, but his attitude is extremely flattering.
This person's name is Mitsui Tai, and he is a direct member of the Mitsui family.
The direct members of the Mitsui family are naturally much more important in terms of status than the collateral members of Mitsui Yasushi, and this time Mitsui Tai also brought an incredible treasure, which is also the capital of his pride.
Several of them were waiting for Li Yang at the door.
The gambling will start tonight. The twelve treasures on the list were also brought to Toronto by Ichiro Nakamura. They are now in their car. After today's event, they will pick up Li Yang and go to the place chosen by Li Yang.
This is where this amazing gamble begins.
With so many priceless treasures, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a world-shaking gamble.
"Master Tai, Mr. Nakamura, he's out!"
Mitsui Yasu suddenly shouted and pointed outside, at the entrance of the convention and exhibition center. Under the protection of Zhao Yong and others, Li Yang walked out chatting and laughing with Huang Lao and others.
Nakamura Ichiro, who had been sitting quietly with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared straight at Li Yang who had just come out.

Two chapters in one, ***, why are my friends so incompetent? There are three updates a day on average, and Xiaoyu has never been lazy in his updates!
