Ah, now it was Song Xi's turn to be surprised: This sword is really an antique. I said Yu Fei, you are so lucky. How come you just got a sword that is an antique? Uncle Dong, please give me an estimate.
, how much could this sword fetch if it were auctioned?
Song Xicai is a businessman who likes to use money to measure the value of an antique.
Dong Dechang looked at it carefully and said excitedly: There is the word Zhanlu near the hilt of the sword. If I guess correctly, this sword should be the famous Zhanlu sword in history.
Song Xicai was concerned about the price, but when he saw Dong Dechang studying the origin of the sword here, he couldn't help but said anxiously: Most of the swords in ancient times were made of bronze. Even if they are famous, they are probably of no use now. They can only hang them up and look at them.
Alright
Dong Dechang did not refute this, but said: Xiao Song, I can lend you a hair for use.
Song Xicai was stunned and said: What do you want with my hair? Even though he said so, he still pulled out a hair.
Dong Dechang took the hair, put it on the blade of the sword, and blew it gently, and saw that the hair was suddenly broken.
Song Xicai asked in surprise: This, this, what is going on?
What's going on? This is called short hair. Dong Dechang said: Can you do this with a knife you use today? Xiao Song, don't think that ancient swords can no longer be used because of their materials. In fact, many ancient swords
It is still very sharp until now, but the casting process at that time has long been lost, otherwise
Dong Dechang sighed a little. Indeed, such a sharp sword could be cast under the conditions at that time, and it had been preserved for thousands of years. If it were made today, the sword would probably be even sharper.
Didn't you just ask about the value of this sword? Then guess how much this sword would sell for at auction? Dong Dechang asked jokingly.
Song Xicai swallowed and said: If it were such a sword, I would be willing to pay 30 million to buy it.
Thirty million Dong Dechang nodded and asked Yu Fei: Xiao Fei, what did you say?
Yu Fei smiled slightly and said very simply: I won't sell it. Song Xi was so choked that he could only stare.
Only then did the two of them remember that this sword belonged to Yu Fei. Yu Fei would not sell it even for 300 million yuan, let alone 30 million yuan. He was not short of money. He would not sell it to bring such a huge impact on his chaotic energy.
The Changing Zhanlu Sword. You must know that such a sword is hard to come by. If you miss it, you may never encounter it again in your life.
Dong Dechang laughed and said: At the Sotheby's auction in 1998, a Bao Teng waist sword with golden peach skin sheath and Tianzi No. 17 made by Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty sold for 58.9 million Hong Kong dollars. This sword is far more precious.
It is higher than the Qianlong waist sword and will even bring epoch-making significance to Chinese archaeology. The value of this sword is so high that it is difficult to estimate. If we really want to estimate a price, I think it should be more than 150 million.
It took 150 million for Song Xi to scream in surprise, "Good boy, Xiaofei, brother, you are convinced. You are not just picking up leaks at all. What you picked up is a huge, super big leak."
I spent 500,000 yuan to buy a pair of tigers, but I didn't expect that the picture also came with a Zhanlu sword worth hundreds of millions.
Yu Fei smiled sheepishly and said: Luck, luck.
Dong Dechang also praised and said: Don't talk about Xiao Song. Even I have rarely seen such a big leak in my life. Xiao Fei, I really don't know what to say about you. If this sword comes out, it will definitely attract the attention of the collectors.
It shocked the archaeological community. By the way, Xiaofei, are you going to keep this sword private, or make it public and put it on display like the original Lantingxu?
Yu Fei thought about it and said: Let's put it on display. Although I got it, it is also a national treasure and should not belong to me alone. Everyone must see how incredible the ancient Chinese casting technology is.
In the past, with Yu Fei's low profile, he would never have wanted to show it off. But today, the situation has changed a lot. Yu Fei now has no need to be afraid of anything, whether it is his background or his personal strength.
Dong Dechang nodded approvingly and said: Xiaofei, I'm very happy that you think so.
Yu Fei chuckled, I'll contact Brother Ma early tomorrow morning, he won't blame me for disturbing his dreams, right?
Dong Dechang also smiled and said: I bet that even if you call him now to wake him up from bed, he will not blame you.
It would definitely be a great thing for Ma Shangdu to put the Zhanlu Sword on display in the Guanfan Museum. As Dong Dechang said, even when he was at that time, he would wake him up.
Wouldn't be surprised.
That's too unkind. Yu Fei had a bad smile on his face, and seemed quite moved: But
Dong Dechang and Song Xicai were stunned by Yu Fei's words, but did Yu Fei want to regret it?
But what Yu Fei said next shocked Dong Dechang: If only a Zhanlu Sword was on display, it would probably be quite lonely.
Dong Dechang's eyes suddenly widened: Xiaofei, what do you mean?
Yu Fei said with some embarrassment: When I was in London, I discovered a sword by chance. If I read it correctly, it should be one of the top ten famous swords.
Dong Dechang suddenly grabbed Yu Fei's collar: What kind of sword does it have? Where is it now? I said, boy, can you finish the sentence in one breath? You want to die, old man.
Yu Fei said with some grievance: Uncle Dong, you are holding me like this, what should I say? I wanted to say it in one breath, but you kept interrupting me.
Yes, you still blame me. When Yu Fei said this, Dong Dechang realized that it was indeed the case. He was too impatient. But what Yu Fei said was too shocking.
Among the famous swords in ancient times, not every famous sword can be well preserved due to the relationship between material and history. The discovery of a Zhanlu sword is considered to be a high incense, but Yu Fei actually said that he still
I'm afraid no one would be surprised to find another sword. Dong Dechang's performance was already pretty good.
Okay, okay, you say it, you say it quickly, Dong Dechang urged.
Song Xicai laughed secretly at the side, this Yu Fei seems to be deliberately trying to seduce Dong Dechang, but to make an old man so uneasy, Yu Fei, you are too unkind.
If I read it correctly, that sword should be a fish intestine sword.
Fish Intestine Sword Dong Dechang couldn't help but said in surprise: "Tell me what the characteristics of that sword are."
Yu Fei had no choice but to explain the characteristics of the fish intestine sword again.
Dong Dechang couldn't help but nod. The characteristics mentioned by Yu Fei were consistent with those of the Fish Intestine Sword, and they were probably true.
Moreover, he knew that with Yu Fei's character, he would not say this if he was not certain.
Who has the Fish Intestine Sword now? Can it be transferred? Next, Dong Dechang was worried about the transfer issue. Nowadays, the collection of Chinese art has become a craze. Many big collectors in Europe have a large number of Chinese art in their hands. These people
There is no shortage of money at all, so it is almost impossible to buy it back with money.
Yu Fei chuckled, pointed to his nose, and said: Sorry, the fish intestine sword belongs to me now.
Belongs to you Dong Dechang said in disbelief: How did you get it?
Yu Fei then briefly told the story of the discovery of more than ten famous European paintings at Bermondsey Morning Market and the exchange with Princess Alice. Of course, in order to keep Princess Alice's confidentiality, Yu Fei withheld her name and only said:
He is a collector friend in Europe. In this regard, Dong Dechang also expressed his understanding that many collectors do not want to be famous.
Even so, neither Song Xicai nor Dong Dechang expected that Yu Fei's experience in London would be so wonderful. Not only did he buy so many famous European paintings, but he even got a fish intestine sword in exchange for it.
In order not to bring a greater impact to the two of them, Yu Fei did not mention the painting of Luo Shen. However, Dong Dechang kept mumbling to himself: It's worth it, it's so worth it. Eight sketches can be exchanged for fish.
Intestinal Sword, this business is so cost-effective.
Yu Fei smiled bitterly. Although Dong Dechang was an expert in domestic collections, his love for Chinese antiques was so great that he dismissed European works of art. In fact, in terms of value alone, the auction prices of the eight sketches determined
It will be higher than the Fish Intestine Sword and Luo Shen Fu Tu.
After learning that the Fish Intestine Sword was still stored with a friend flying to Europe, Dong Dechang repeatedly urged Yu Fei to get the sword back as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.
After reading Zhan Lu Sword, Dong Dechang breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: Xiao Fei, that's right. You brought the old man here as soon as possible so that I could see such a famous sword. I think you have a filial piety.
Although this sword belongs to Yu Fei, as an appraisal expert, Dong Dechang is definitely very happy to see such a precious work of art.
What he didn't expect was that Yu Fei chuckled and said: It's not over yet. To be continued...
