It can be seen that this middle-aged, skinny Burmese respects Wichai Sawang Susi very much! There is even a hint of fear in his eyes. Come to think of it, in Myanmar, a place where domestic warlords are rampant, if they are not more ruthless, I am afraid that
The Weichai family would not have been passed down for hundreds of years!
"Mowen, this Mr. Liu is my brother. I came here today to take a look at your factory. If it's good, I'll buy it!"
"Haha, thank you, Master Weichai, for taking care of me! ... Hello, Mr. Liu!" The middle-aged man in his forties named Mo Wen said with a hint of flattery on his face.∑
But despite this, Liu Dong did not see any joy in this person's eyes.
And Liu Dong soon understood the reason. In order to avoid offending the other party when making a deal with someone like Wei Chai who was far above him, even if the final deal could be concluded, the price would be very low.
Obviously it was not what Mowen wanted.
But regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, Liu Dong has nothing to do with it. As long as he can get this reasonably good factory converted into a warehouse, it's not him who suffers anyway!
After taking the two people into the factory, Liu Dong's eyes lit up. Judging from the layout of the entire factory, Mr. Mowen was very dedicated when the factory was first built.
The ground in the factory area is all paved with thick cement. To the left of the entrance is a guard house of this type. Behind the house is a parking area of about 300 square meters. On the right side are some lush but obviously lacking maintenance buildings.
of green belts.
It is about 10 meters away from the parking lot and green belt and is the main building of this factory.
Among them, on both sides of the central main road is a row of flat-roofed brick houses about 5 meters high. They are divided into 8 rooms of different sizes. Judging from the layout of these rooms, they should be offices.
After passing this row of rooms, on the right side of the main road is a long hard plastic greenhouse 25 meters wide, 10 meters high, and about 100 meters long. Most of the greenhouse is empty, and only a small area is covered.
Wearing a waterproof tarpaulin, Liu Dong understood from the corner exposed under the tarpaulin that the purpose of this greenhouse should be to stack wood.
On the right side of the main road are some factories and workers' residential areas, but they are not as big as when Liu Dong was in Quancheng. However, Liu Dong only regarded this place as a transit place, so the five buildings were 40 meters long and 10 meters high.
, the 18-meter-wide factory building is enough to be used as a storage space for him!
When Liu Dong looked away from the 5-meter-long back door behind the factory, he was basically satisfied with the factory! As long as the machines in the processing factory were emptied, this old factory building would be a qualified warehouse!
Noticing Liu Dong's expression, Wichai Sawang Susi also understood his decision.
In the end, Weichai also came forward and bought the ownership of the entire venue for 100 million kyats, which is equivalent to 1 million Chinese currency, without the need for machines!
"Okay, we're done with the business. Let's go back!" After seeing Liu Dong and Mo Wen sign the contract, Wichai Sawang Susi said beside him.
After nodding his head and thinking for a while, Liu Dong said: "Brother Weichai, since this place already belongs to me, can you please help transport the wood I ordered this time to here together with the jadeite rough stone?"
"Haha, I expected you to say that, okay, no problem! But it's getting late now, let's do it tomorrow! We'll be busy again tomorrow!"
Hearing this, after taking a look at the sunset in the distance, Liu Dong had no objection!
However, Liu Dong did not go home with Wichai Sawangsuthi as promised. Instead, after asking about the situation, he went to the antique market in Mandalay!
It has almost become Liu Dong's habit to go to the local antique market every time he visits a new city, and this time is no exception.
However, compared with the relatively standardized antique market in China, there are very few serious antique shops on the antique streets in Mandalay, and there are only about thirty or forty street stalls. However, Liu Dong is not surprised by this situation. After all, this so-called
The second largest city in Myanmar is just a small town with a population of about 800,000.
Fortunately, Mandalay, as the former country of Myanmar, has some history, so there are still some genuine goods on the street stalls, but the value is not very high, and Liu Dong did not take action!
After visiting dozens of street stalls with no results, Liu Dong walked into the few antique shops on both sides of the road, especially an antique shop with "Zheng Baozhai" written on the sign in both Chinese and Burmese fonts.
first choice.
As Liu Dong expected, the shop owner is a Chinese about fifty years old. However, in this antique shop of about 100 square meters, not all antiques are sold, but also a small amount of jade, wooden crafts, and ivory.
Although there were very few products, Liu Dong was surprised that the other party dared to commit the crime. You must know that the sale and purchase of ivory is also prohibited in Myanmar. Although this law is limited to Myanmar's poor public security environment, it is only superficial!
Although Liu Dong was surprised by their business strategy, he couldn't care less about it. However, there was something in this antique shop that interested him very much!
"You two, what do you want to order? I dare not say anything else, but I can guarantee that this is the antique store with the most genuine items in Mandalay!" Seeing Liu Dong and Wu Dongsheng walking in, the man who was sitting behind the counter saw Liu Dong and Wu Dongsheng walking in.
The middle-aged boss quickly turned off the TV and came over.
Perhaps he knew that Liu Dong and the two were Chinese, so the boss also spoke pure Mandarin, just not very standard. But even so, Liu Dong, who had been away from China for more than half a month, felt a little warm.
However, since he was cordial, Liu Dong didn't believe his words at all.
Under the light of his relics, more than 98% of the items in the entire antique store are fake! They are no different from those in China!
Of course, Liu Dong was also a little surprised. He actually found a few good things in this small store, and there was even a boutique item among them!
And this somewhat made Liu Dong feel a little excited.
"Boss, can you show me that bronze mirror?"
Hearing Liu Dong's words, the middle-aged boss who was about to fool him again quickly agreed and took a bronze mirror from the counter that was slightly rusty on the back but still very smooth on the front and handed it to Liu Dong.
Dong's hands.
The entire bronze mirror is round, silvery white, about 25 centimeters in diameter, with animal buttons and a high string pattern dividing the decoration on the back of the mirror into two areas. The inner area is engraved with four high-relief rings surrounding the mirror buttons, climbing among the grape leaves.
The playful auspicious beast. The casting process is extremely fine, and the auspicious beast's eyebrows, joints, tail and other details are carved with every detail.
The outer area is decorated with as many as eight auspicious animals and birds running in the same direction, running and flying among the grape branches, dotted with grape leaves and piles of fruits. What is particularly valuable is that all these exquisite patterns,
They are all arranged in every detail in a mere inch.
Under the original light of the relic, the entire bronze mirror showed a rich red brilliance, and the identification results of the relic told Liu Dong that this was a complete and rare 'Auspicious Beast Grape Pattern Mirror of the Tang Dynasty'!
Bronze mirrors are practical items for grooming in ancient Chinese people's daily lives. They have a long history of more than 4,000 years and were produced in all dynasties and generations.
It was not until the advent of mercury mirrors that the production of bronze mirrors gradually stopped.
Some of the patterns on ancient bronze mirrors are already well known to everyone, and some are still mysteries that cannot be solved today, such as the mountain-character pattern mirrors of the Warring States Period, the regular pattern mirrors of the Han Dynasty, the sea beast grape mirrors of the Tang Dynasty, etc. Bronze mirrors have been around since
After appearing 4,000 years ago, it has gone through different stages of development - it sprouted in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, became popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, flourished in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and declined in the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties.
The Tang Dynasty was an important period in the history of the development of ancient bronze mirrors in my country. In the early Tang Dynasty, the decoration of bronze mirrors was mainly based on sea animals, and sea animal mirrors were more popular. From the period of Tang Gaozong to Tang Dezong, new forms, new themes, and new styles appeared in the decoration of bronze mirrors. The style is rich and gorgeous; from Tang Dezong to the late Tang Dynasty, bird mirrors, auspicious flower mirrors, coiling dragon mirrors, etc. were mainly popular.
Sea beast grape mirror, also known as "auspicious beast grape mirror", "seahorse grape mirror", "Pegasus grape mirror" and "luan beast grape mirror". The animal-shaped patterns carved on the bronze mirror have different images and postures, collectively referred to as "sea beast grape mirror".
". This type of mirror has strange decorations and mysterious patterns. It is called "the mirror of many mysteries" by Japanese scholars and "the mirror that condenses the civilization of Eurasia".
However, in the field of collection, bronze mirrors have always been classified as miscellaneous items, and the long-term market treatment is not high. Nowadays, the price of a Tang Dynasty bronze mirror in good condition is generally less than one million!
However, the piece in Liu Dong's hands is a fine Tang Dynasty mirror. In addition to its almost perfect appearance, the most important thing is its size. Most of them are only a few centimeters, and a few of the Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors that are more than ten centimeters have a diameter of up to 20 centimeters.
There are very few items that are over 1 cm tall, and every piece is the best among them.
This is the case with the piece in Liu Dong's hands. As for the Tang mirror, which can be regarded as a first-class cultural relic, appearing in an antique shop in Myanmar, the reason Liu Dong does not know is because of the modern history of a century of humiliation, especially the catastrophe of the Old Summer Palace, which made Tai
Too many Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas!
There is a maxim that everyone in the antique industry recognizes today, ‘Except for bronzes, China’s best cultural relics are all abroad!’ Although it is somewhat different from reality, it still reflects the current situation of the domestic antique collection industry.
