"Haha, you can't say something like that, no matter it's true or false, you have to try it before saying it. Look." Wang Hai picked up a sword, with the blade facing upwards, and gently placed a piece of white paper on the blade.
Let go and the white paper will break into two halves. Pick up the two pieces of white paper on the ground and place them in front of the old man.
"Huh?" The old man immediately saw that the cut surface of the white paper was smooth, without any burrs, and it could even reflect light when facing the sun.
Pick up a sword at random and gently put the white paper up. Without any resistance, the white paper will directly break into two halves. Take a hair from your head and put it on the sword blade, and it will break into two halves instantly.
, the legendary short blow hair is no longer enough to describe its sharpness.
"Young man, can this sword cut iron?"
"You try, old man, I've cut diamonds with it."
"Oh! Then I'll give it a try. If it breaks, I won't pay for it." The old man started joking, and now he somewhat believed Wang Hai's words.
"If it's broken, it's fake and worthless." Wang Hai didn't care. This thing is worth more than diamond.
The old man picked up a sword and lightly chopped it with the tweezers on the table without daring to use force. According to the old man's opinion, Wang Hai's statement might be a bit exaggerated. Such a sharp sword blade can easily be curled.
It was just the fact that the old man was dumbfounded. Without exerting any force, the sword blade was as if it had entered the water. It easily passed through the tweezers and scratched half a meter on the table. The entire table was almost cut in half.
A piece of jade was split directly.
"This..." The old man looked at everything in front of him in surprise, completely beyond the scope of his cognition.
"Old man." Wang Hai saw the old man stunned and had to remind him.
"Oh..." The old man finally came to his senses, picked up the sword and inspected it carefully. The blade of the sword was dark blue, and when you look at it with your eyes, you can see that the blade is not very sharp, and the surface of the sword does not have a mirror-like luster. Just use your eyes.
Look, this is a low-quality, fake product.
"Old man, I actually used it to chop diamonds. You have glass here, you can try it." Wang Hai pointed to a coffee table next to him.
"Oh..." The old man picked up the sword and slashed it at the coffee table.
"Grandpa, wait..." "Wow..."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, a corner of the coffee table was missing, and the cut surface was smooth and smooth.
"Grandpa, that's my birthday gift to you. How could you... Why are you laughing? It's not your bad idea. You're not a good person at first sight, huh!" The girl looked at Wang Hai angrily, her mouth small.
Du Gao, he can hang a teapot.
"Okay, Xinxin, go call your dad over and buy some glass knives at the hardware store on the way."
"Old man, I think you can bring over a few steel ingots. These three swords can easily cut a ten centimeter thick steel plate." Wang Hai added.
"Okay, Xinxin, hurry up, I've brought some steel ingots." The old man then sat down, picked up the sword and observed carefully. This is the real cutting of iron like mud. The so-called "sharpening" that he saw before
Swords are nothing compared to these three swords.
"Young man, where are you from?"
"Haha, our family came to the UK before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and now we are in Chinatown, London, UK."
"Oh, aren't there many auction houses in foreign countries? Why did the young man fall in love with our brilliant auction house?" The old man pushed up his glasses and looked at Wang Hai curiously. This boy was obviously lying, speaking with an authentic accent from Qingzhou Province, but
These days, as long as it's not stolen goods, it's not uncommon to keep one's identity a secret for various reasons.
"Haha, well, after all, China is also my motherland. In Chinese auctions, foreigners have fewer opportunities. Of course, it is said that your auction house is only one step away from becoming a world-class auction house. It just so happens that I have some good things here.
Master, please see if the commission can be cancelled. You will get the honor and I will get the money."
"Haha, the young man has a good plan, but I can't make the decision until my son comes. I'm just here to support the elderly. Haha... you are willing to give out such a good thing. I have been exposed to all kinds of things since I was a child.
It’s a rare curio, but young man, I can clearly say that nothing is more valuable than your three swords.”
"The company has reached a critical moment in its development, and now it lacks funds. However, in order to get a loan, we have various harsh conditions that we cannot accept. The old man should know that it is very difficult for Chinese people abroad to live in, and the white people have always rejected us. And in Japan
People, Koreans do evil things secretly every day, so in the end I had to take this step." Wang Hai said helplessly, as if he was really an overseas Chinese.
"Oh, what's the starting price, young man?"
"What does the old man think? I don't know much about this industry."
"I auctioned an imperial sword from the Yongli period, and the price was 34 million. However, the sword was well preserved, beautifully made, and had an official seal. But this young man's sword has nothing, not even a scabbard, even if it is
A sword that can cut through iron like clay will not be worth much."
"Old man, have you ever heard of ancient Chinese myths and legends? It's the legend about fine iron."
"Haha, after working in this industry for a lifetime, I have been exposed to a lot of these things. Isn't it the essence of the legendary iron, a necessary material for refining magic weapons? Is this sword of yours made of refined iron?"
"Haha, old man, you are really right. According to our ancestral secrets, this is a sword made of fine iron. But as to whether it is a magic weapon, it is impossible to judge in modern times, but according to our testing, it is a sword.
It's an unknown material with twice the density of iron. It's hard to estimate the hardness because the diamonds used for testing were all broken and there wasn't even a mark on it. And the old man also said just now that this sword is very heavy, so I can
To be sure, 90% of its material is probably the legendary fine iron."
"That's not right. According to modern interpretations and archeology, fine iron in ancient times was another name for modern high-carbon steel."
"But there are so many myths and legends in ancient times. Do you think the old man thinks they are groundless?"
"That's right. Oh, look at me. Sit down for a moment. I'm doing some research. If it's really an unknown material that's harder than diamond, it will definitely be auctioned at an unprecedented high price." After saying that, the old man began to look carefully.
During the study, I picked out a few hairs and cut stones and glass several times, but the blade did not wear out at all. The more I studied, the more surprised I became. This is completely beyond human understanding. Even if it is diamond to carve glass, it will not be the same.
There is wear and tear. But this sword has been rubbed with hard jade, and it has not changed at all.
"Dad, I'm here." About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man's voice came from outside.
"come in."
A middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in. He was not as paunchy as Wang Hai imagined, but a little thin, but in good spirits, with short hair and energetic. He did not look like a businessman at all.
"Come on, young man, this is Yun Zhihao, the current owner of Huihuang Auction House, my son." The old man was very proud.
"I've met Boss Yun, my surname is Wang."
"Hello, Brother Wang, how about you come to the front hall, where all the test items have been prepared."
