Chapter 240 Camphor wood unicorn

"Okay, I've done the treasure appraisal, now let's show off the items you brought to the auction. I won't refuse to everyone, let's start from me first." Seeing that Old Man Huang didn't say anything, Liu

Lei said with a smile, then put the bag next to him on the table, opened the bag and took out a very delicate small box, which contained a pair of beads shaped like dragonfly eyes.

"Some time ago, in an ancient calligraphy and painting shop, I found a pair of Warring States dragonfly glass beads. The overall shape of this pair of glass beads is oval. I have identified it. The diameter is 4.8 cm. The diameter of the perforation on the bead surface is 0.8 cm, which is only 0.8 cm in diameter.

The largest bead collected by the Central Plains Cultural Relics Store is a little smaller."

Liu Lei passed the small box containing the glass beads to the middle-aged man sitting on his left, and said with a smile: "I spent more than 100 yuan to find this pair of beads. It can be regarded as a pick-up."

I missed it, haha. Everyone here must know the value of the bead collected by the Zhongyuan Cultural Relics Store. In comparison, my bead is a little inferior, so I will ask for 80,000, which is a good start for everyone.

."

“Pretty good.”

The middle-aged man sitting on the left side of Liu Lei, surnamed Lin, is the owner of an antique shop. The antique shop he opened is a miscellaneous type. He also has a lot of research on such dragonfly glass beads. After observing the glass beads, he first

He nodded with satisfaction and then commented: "The bead surface of this pair of beads is made of tooth-white substrate, decorated with eight sets of regular and symmetrical color circle dot patterns, which are dyed with blue, yellow and marigold glass dots respectively. The center of the circle pattern has a convex shape.

In its original state, it can be said that the decoration is complex, with large eyes covered with colored circles and dots and small eyes separated by small strings of beads, but it is complex but not messy, and the craftsmanship is also quite diverse, combining the three decorative techniques of molding, coloring and engraving.

It highlights its three-dimensional effect, the color is quite rich, and it looks gorgeous and luxurious. It can be regarded as a good collection."

After the appraisal, Mr. Lin also called out the price, which was not too high, it was 80,000. This was because almost everyone present had some discernment in appraisal. For example, the 80,000 quoted by Liu Lei was almost the same price.

After Mr. Lin looked at the beads, he passed them to others, who took turns to look at them one by one. When it was Zhu Feng's turn, he just glanced at them twice and handed them to Chen Ran. Chen Ran also observed them.

Dragonfly glazed beads were an emerging craft and decorative style during the Warring States Period. They were only popular during the three hundred years of the Warring States Period. There are very few surviving ones, so they are considered a rare thing.

The pair of beads in front of him are indeed a good pair of glass beads. You must know that the glass beads in the Zhongyuan Cultural Relics Store are national first-class cultural relics. After observing for a while, Chen Ran released an energy aperture to detect it, and it was indeed

It was a bead from the Warring States Period. After detection, Chen Ran accumulated six energy apertures.

Although this bead was good, it was a miscellaneous item after all. In the end, it was only bought by Mr. Lin for 80,000 yuan.

After receiving a bead, Mr. Lin was in a good mood. He also lifted a black box from the ground and placed it on the conference table. He opened the black box and rotated it so that the contents inside the box faced everyone.

"This is a pair of wood-carved unicorns that I bought from an 80-year-old man in Pingyu Ancient City ten days ago for 2,000 yuan. Each of these wooden unicorns is 36 centimeters high, 15 centimeters wide, and weighs about 10 kilograms. According to

The old man said that the pair of unicorns had been placed in his ancestral house to ward off evil spirits from earthquakes, attract wealth and protect the owner. After identification, the pair of wood-carved unicorns were carved from camphor wood in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Their fragrance repels mosquitoes.

role.”

As soon as Mr. Lin opened the box, a scent of fragrance came out, which made people feel refreshed. Chen Ran couldn't help but sniff. It is said that camphor wood can be used to treat rheumatism, paralysis, coldness and pain in the heart and stomach, and appetite.

Sluggishness, bruises, especially its fragrance can clear the body, ward off evil spirits, remove dampness and kill insects. It is very effective for the elderly's body when placed in the elderly's room. It can be used as a good gift for the elderly, Chen Ran

He actually wanted to take a picture of it, but at the moment, even if he wanted to take a picture, he didn't have the funds.

Mr. Lin quoted a price of 150,000 yuan for this pair of wood-carved unicorns, and many people followed suit. Old Man Huang was the first to bid, and directly raised the price to 170,000 yuan. The rest of the people also bid.

Zhu Feng had been sitting there drinking tea without saying a word.

Chen Ran found that Wang Zhiqing was also a little moved. Sure enough, when the price was called 195,000, Wang Zhiqing suddenly raised his hand and directly quoted: "210,000!"

Although the pair of wood-carved unicorns were not bad, they were not rare items after all. The bidding price reached 210,000, so no one followed suit. In the end, the pair of wood-carved unicorns were bought by Wang Zhiqing for 210,000 yuan.

"My father suffers from rheumatism, so he took this pair of camphor wood unicorns. This trip was not in vain." Wang Zhiqing said with a smile to Chen Ran when he brought over the black box containing the carved wood unicorns.

Chen Ran nodded. He suffered from rheumatism, so it would be a good idea to take a picture of this pair of unicorns carved from camphor wood.

After that, five or six items were auctioned in succession, but all of them were not very valuable, and they were not rare items. Chen Ran was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he understood that everyone present was all

Some senior collectors keep all the good things for themselves, and no one will sell them on such occasions. Even if they want to sell them, they go directly to auctions or transfer them to big bosses, so that at least some can be sold.

It’s a lie, and in such an occasion, it is obviously impossible to sell at a high price, but there is also an advantage, that is, what everyone here brings out are basically real things. For someone like Zhu Feng who knows only a little about antiques,

For a boss, it is undoubtedly a good place to go.

But during the whole process, Zhu Feng didn't take any action. He just sat there drinking tea. Maybe it was because Zhu Feng didn't like these things.

Chen Ran also saw a few things that were pretty good, but nothing that made him particularly excited. However, he was not without gains. At least the energy aperture had accumulated to more than sixty.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, there will be good things later." Perhaps sensing that Chen Ran was a little disappointed, Zhu Feng suddenly lowered his head and said to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran was startled, then nodded, knowing in his heart that after the auction was over, there would be some good shows. No wonder Zhu Feng had been sitting there waiting patiently. It turned out that he was waiting for the die-casting show, but it was a pity that he didn't have much.

If you have money, even if you have good things, you may just miss it.

He really doesn't have much money left in his hands now, which is only ten thousand yuan. Ten thousand yuan is really not something he can take pictures of on such an occasion. Besides, Zhu Feng said it was a good thing, so the price is probably high.

Very high.

Although he was a little helpless, Chen Ran was not discouraged. Even if he couldn't find good things, he could still see the difference.

After almost everyone present auctioned an old object, no one left. They all cast their eyes on Zhu Feng. Obviously, the next good show was completely arranged by Zhu Feng, and everyone was not aware of it.

declare.

Perhaps this is the reason why such treasure appraisal activities are held in Zhu Feng’s club.

Zhu Feng didn't speak, just smiled and nodded towards her secretary.

The secretary turned around and went out. Not long after, she returned to the room. Behind her was a middle-aged man with a crew cut. The middle-aged man was dressed in a rather nondescript manner. First of all, he was wearing a uniform.

He wears a Tang suit, a pair of leather shoes, and around his neck is a chain with a large circle worn by ethnic minorities. With his short hair, he looks like a lama.

"Brother Chen, this man is called a monk, and he does that..." Seeing Xiao Pingtou walking in with his secretary, Zhu Feng lowered his head and introduced Chen Ran with a smile. When introducing, he also made gestures with his hands, which meant something.

They are tomb robbers.

When Zhu Feng introduced this person as a tomb robber, the first thing Chen Ran thought of was Wang Zhiqing. Wang Zhiqing was from the Institute of Archeology. He was almost a class enemy to the tomb robbers. Most archaeologists or historians hated tomb robbers.

It's so deep in my heart that Wang Zhiqing doesn't know what it will be like when he sees the tomb robbers.

Chen Ran went to see Wang Zhiqing, but Wang Zhiqing's expression was as usual. However, when he saw Chen Ran looking at him, how could he not know what Chen Ran was thinking. He smiled bitterly, came to Chen Ran and explained in a low voice: "Xiao Ran, don't look at me.

I am doing archeology, but I have actually participated in many underground black markets..."

After hearing Wang Zhiqing's explanation, Chen Ran realized what was going on. Tomb robbers and archaeological workers were like a certain Democratic Party and a certain party during the Anti-Japanese War. The two were hostile, but sometimes they cooperated. There were many in the team of tomb robbers.

They are all clues for archaeological researchers, and they provide some information and clues to archaeological researchers. In addition, archaeological researchers often go deep into these underground black markets to participate in underground auctions. First, they hope to auction antiquities with greater archaeological value.

Well, I just look for clues about some ancient tombs, and of course, sometimes I also take photos of things I like.

The tomb of Cao Cao, which caused a sensation across the country in 2009, was actually discovered by tomb robbers first. Archaeological researchers learned about it from the tomb robbers, rather than from regular archaeological excavations. After it was discovered, the entire tomb robbers' den was seized.

Yes, this is the result of touching something that shouldn't be done.

After Xiaopingtou, that is, the monk came in, he was followed by two people. The two people were carrying a big box. After arriving in the hall, the monk opened the box and took out everything in the big box one by one.

, placed on a table at the side of the hall.

"Hello friends, my name is Monk. Without further ado, in order to save everyone's time, I will not auction them one by one. I will put all the items on display at the same time. Each item has a number.

, and the low price of the auction, after everyone appreciates it, just bid based on the number, friends, you can come on stage to appreciate it now!"

While Chen Ran and Wang Zhiqing were talking, the monk had already moved everything out of the big box and placed it on the table. There were also things on the ground on both sides of the table. There were quite a few things, both large and small.

.

"Brother Chen, I don't have an appraiser with me either. I'm counting on you when I encounter something good. Come on, let's go up and have a look." After the monk announced, Zhu Feng patted Chen Ran on the shoulder and greeted him with a smile.

Chen Ran said something and walked towards the table.

Chen Ran and Wang Zhiqing nodded to each other, stood up, and followed over. Others had also come forward, but as Chen Ran walked over, they all made room for Chen Ran.

Li also said some complimentary words.

Chen Ran was not polite to them. He nodded and walked over to look at the items in front of him. Unexpectedly, the first thing he looked at made his eyes light up!

[Because I am in my hometown, the update is a little late, I apologize. Please vote and collect... I would like to thank Brother Azure Bear for the two rewards. 】
