Chapter 1121 Rare Treasures
…
"Uh, hello, seniors!" Li Yuncong greeted the old men with white hair and beards standing next to Liu Dong and quickly greeted them.
"You are Li from the old Li family...!"
"Li Yuncong!"
"Yes, yes, Li Yuncong! Look at my memory, it gets worse and worse as we get older!" Mr. Hong patted his head, glanced at the pretty young woman standing next to Li Yuncong and said with a smile, "You are the old man.
Zhuang Wen from the banker, right?"
"Yes, senior, do you know me?" Zhuang Wen said respectfully.
"We know you. I was present when you got married last time!" Mr. Hong replied.
Looking at Li Yuncong and Zhuang Wen who suddenly understood, Mr. Hong waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's chat while walking. It's important to see the exhibits now! Otherwise, we won't have much time today!"
Hearing this, Li Yuncong and Zhuang Wen greeted the three old men respectfully and quickly retreated to Liu Dong's side.
"Xiaodong, you are good at it, how can you hide it so deeply?"
Li Yuncong, who was excited, patted Liu Dong's shoulder and said excitedly.
Of course, the voice must have been lowered a bit. After all, there are a lot of people here, and most of the people walking in front are highly respected people!
"What's so hidden?"
"I still don't admit it. I have never seen you say that you have so many good things in your hands before. There are actually 9 white flawless diamonds over 100 carats in the diamond museum, and others are yellow, green, blue, brown, and pink.
, orange, red, black, purple and other top-grade colored diamonds are all occupied! I have never heard that you have so many good treasures in your hands before!"
Listening to Li Yuncong's words that were full of excitement like a machine gun, Liu Dong finally understood!
Not all of the collections on display in his jade exhibition area are jade. They also include: diamond exhibition hall, ruby sapphire exhibition hall, lapis lazuli exhibition hall, jade exhibition hall, cat's eye exhibition hall, emerald exhibition hall, and Hotan jade exhibition hall.
, Tianhuang Stone Exhibition Hall, Soapstone Exhibition Hall, etc., there are a total of 18 exhibition halls divided by gemstone materials!
In addition, the reason why there are so many people lingering on the ninth floor is because in the eyes of laymen who don't understand antiques, it is obvious that these jewelry and jades worth hundreds of millions in the outside world are more likely to attract them than the antiques on the other seven floors.
attention!
Moreover, it can be admired by Liu Dong. The jewelry collected in the exhibition hall are all top-notch!
Take the diamond mentioned by Li Yuncong just now. If it is a colorless diamond and wants to enter the diamond museum, it must weigh more than one hundred carats, and it must be top-notch in terms of transparency and color!
However, Liu Dong's standards have been lowered a bit when it comes to colored diamonds. High-end and top-grade colored diamonds are all in his collection.
The reason for this is also because the number of colored diamonds is too precious.
Often only one carat of colored diamonds appears in 100,000 carats of white diamonds.
The most treasured red diamond in the world is the ‘Samuev’ worth US$7 million. Although it is known as the world’s largest red diamond, it only weighs 5.11 carats! And the color is not top-notch!
It is precisely because colored diamonds are so precious that Liu Dong has spared no expense over the years to compete at major international auctions and collect them himself. However, there are still not many truly high-end colored diamonds.
If distinguished by color alone, there are no more than 10 diamonds of each color! The least purple one has only three!
However, this is already amazing!
No wonder Li Yuncong and Zhuang Wen were so excited, and no wonder there were so many people on the ninth floor, and half of them were women.
After dealing with Li Yuncong's harassment all the way, the group walked into the first nearest exhibition hall after exiting the elevator door, which was the diamond exhibition hall that Li Yuncong mentioned at the beginning.
To be honest, compared to the other major exhibition halls on the seventh floor, the number of exhibits in the Diamond Pavilion is really limited!
In an exhibition area of nearly 300 square meters, 89 tempered glass booths are neatly arranged in the center of the exhibition room!
On each booth is a piece of exquisite jewelry made by the top jewelry masters of Rose Jewelry, and each piece of jewelry has their name!
Under the specially arranged exquisite spotlights, every piece of jewelry shines with intoxicating splendor, attracting the attention of everyone around!
Compared with antiques, calligraphy, paintings, bronzes, porcelain, etc. that require special understanding to understand their value, this kind of jewelry makes people understand their preciousness better.
Therefore, although this diamond exhibition hall does not have many things and the place is not large, the number of people crowded in it is not small. Almost every booth is crowded with visitors who are unwilling to leave.
"Let's go check out other exhibition halls. There are too many people here!" After seeing the situation in the diamond exhibition hall, Mr. Qi frowned and said.
To be honest, he is not keen on these precious jewelry that others think are worth thousands of gold. But since he is here, it doesn't hurt to take a look. But now that there are so many people, Mr. Qi doesn't really want to go in.
And those who felt the same as him were Mr. Dong and Mr. Hong!
To them, all the diamonds in this diamond pavilion combined are not more valuable than a piece of calligraphy or painting written by a famous artist!
Liu Dong didn't object much to the words of the old men. These diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other jewelry belonged to him. He had seen them before they were placed here!
However, Li Yuncong and Zhuang Wen were obviously not willing to wander around with their group of antique professionals, especially when they saw a group of people in front of the diamond, ruby, sapphire, cat's eye, emerald, and jade exhibition hall where Li Yuncong was extremely coveted.
, and after walking past without stopping, Li Yuncong and Zhuang Wen no longer wanted to walk with them!
So, after finding an opportunity to talk to Liu Dong, and then finding an excuse to say goodbye to the three old men, the two of them left quickly!
Although I am not interested in all kinds of jewelry, I have to take a look at jade, which is a major category in the antique shop!
Fortunately, compared to other exhibition halls, there are relatively fewer people here!
However, due to time constraints, the three old men swept through most of the jade collections. The final "treasure of the museum" in the jade exhibition hall was what they were most concerned about.
And Liu Dong did not disappoint them here either. Zigang jade 'Eight Horses Picture' ring and 'Canglong Godson' white jade dragon hook, as well as Hongshan jade dragon, Western Zhou luminous cup, Zhu Yuanzhang's 'Emperor's Seal' seal, plus Liu Dong got it
The blood-filled jade cicada, which has not been around for a long time, is a precious cultural relic of the national treasure level.
But the most precious one, or the national treasure among the national treasures, is the ‘Yaochi Holy Land’ Yushanzi that Liu Dong bought in Hong Kong the year before last!
In order to specifically display the magic of this Yushanzi, Liu Dong set up a separate exhibition room for it. Every half hour in the exhibition room, the lights on the roof will be turned off, while the lights at the bottom of the Yushanzi will be turned on.
At this time, the beautiful fairyland-like scene of the 'Yaochi Holy Land' will appear in front of visitors. Almost everyone who sees the magic of the Yaochi Holy Land for the first time will be intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves!
The same goes for the three well-informed old men.
Of course, their concentration is not comparable to that of ordinary people. They are still intoxicated, but they soon wake up!
But facing this legendary fairyland, even the calmest Mr. Qi couldn't help but admire: "The wisdom of the ancients is really admirable!"
"Yeah, it's really hard to imagine how the royal craftsmen used simple tools to create such unparalleled treasures thousands of years ago? Even with the development of modern technology, I'm afraid they can't replicate such wonderful works of art.
!" Mr. Dong also agreed with admiration on his face.
"It's a pity that after thousands of years, this ingenious and cherished skill has been lost!" Mr. Hong shook his head.
"The emergence of extremely exquisite treasures requires not only superb skills, but also luck. Even if the carving skills of the Sui Dynasty are passed down to this day, it may not be possible to replicate such exquisite Yaochi products! Just like the Moon Shadow Lamp!"
Qi Lao said.
"makes sense!"
After lingering in the Yaochi Holy Realm exhibition room, the three old men withdrew because there were too many people there!
"Liu Dong, I'm afraid this exhibition room will become the most crowded exhibition room in your museum in the future!" Mr. Dong, who experienced the magic of Yushanzi, the sacred place of Yaochi, said with a smile.
"No, it just opened today, and the entire venue is free to visit, that's why there are so many here! After today, the entry price of Yaochi Holy Land Yushanzi is 500!" Liu Dong said.
"500? 500 is a lot!" Mr. Hong nodded.
Mr. Hong, who serves as a consultant to the Palace Museum, said nothing more about this. Because he also knows that the preservation of precious cultural relics is a very strict proposition. Especially when welcoming visitors, strict traffic restrictions must be implemented. Otherwise,
There will be a situation where the ankle of the statue of David, the treasure of the Louvre Museum in France, will be broken!
"Xiaodong, those next to them are also separate exhibition rooms?" Mr. Dong pointed to several exhibition rooms with open doors, but also crowded with people, but he didn't want to be like the almost crowded exhibition rooms in the Yaochi Holy Land Exhibition Hall.
"Yeah! There are three rooms in total!"
As soon as Liu Dong finished speaking, Mr. Hong could not wait to walk over, "Let's go and have a look!"
Of course, no one objected to his words. With the pearls and jade from the Yaochi Holy Land Yushanzi in front of him, it is obvious that the things that can open a separate exhibition room for exhibition must not be ordinary!
In fact, their guess was not wrong!
In a pair of Kangxi Jiulong jade cups, a total of 18 dragons with clear toes and claws were seen swimming in the cup filled with wine. When the scene appeared in the eyes of everyone, almost all the onlookers were moved.
When the nine-curved beads of the Sui Dynasty, known as the "Sui Pearl and Bi", presented a magical scene in the beads that looked like the stars in the universe, almost everyone was stunned.
When there are 200 pearls, the maximum diameter is 40 centimeters, which is comparable to a washbasin; the minimum diameter is 10 centimeters, which is comparable to an adult's fist; and when water blooms, it appears as a translucent silver-white pearl, also known as the "mermaid's tears".
When Jane appeared in front of everyone, everyone understood the magic of nature! (To be continued.)
