Zhou Zichen cast his eyes towards the bottom of the bronze tripod, and saw that the bottom of the bronze tripod had not been dug out, and its four legs were imprisoned. If this problem was not solved and the bronze tripod was forcibly taken out, then the bronze tripod would
The tripod will also be damaged, and even valuable items will become worthless.
"Then why don't you untie this thing?" Zhou Zichen asked with some confusion.
"It's not that easy to untie. As you can see, we have dug so deep now. If we continue, we will not be able to build buildings on this land in the future." Bai Huasheng's tone was a little heavy. They were originally digging on the foundation.
If we continue to dig deeper, we may no longer be able to build buildings on this land.
Bai Huasheng spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land. If all the foundations were destroyed because of some bronzes of unknown value, the loss would be huge.
"Isn't it okay to just dig underneath?" Zhou Zichen frowned. He had not yet used his eyes to observe the situation underground, but logically speaking, it shouldn't be a problem to dig a little deeper, right?
"What do you know? This foundation is originally on the edge. The geology is not very good. Moreover, according to the inference of our experts, this fault cannot continue to be dug down!"
A man wearing glasses said arrogantly from the side. His face looked fair, but his words were not polite at all.
"Who are you? You can't do it just because you say no?" Zhou Zichen frowned. When Zhou Zichen looked at this man for the first time, he felt that this man was disgusting and not a good thing.
"Of course, what I say is what I say. I am a geological expert hired by Boss Bai to study addresses and recommend places for candidates. Why, are you doubting my ability?"
Zhang Yongman looked at Zhou Zichen with a proud look on his face. He was originally just a graduate student at the second-floor university, but he had a talkative mouth and was very smooth in dealing with people, so he was able to survive in the provincial capital in the past few years after graduation.
Not bad.
Although he didn't have much ability, he couldn't resist his good luck. There were no accidents at the several construction sites he had guided in the past few years, so some big bosses also liked to work with him. This time it was Bai Huasheng's people who found him.
"Zhuanjia? The kind that comes with floor tiles?" Zhou Zichen sneered at this. Although this man looked confident, his eyes were actually a little evasive, as if he was not confident in what he said.
Zhou Zichen's eyes were very good and he could pick up subtle expressions at any time. Although Zhang Yongman hid it very well, Zhou Zichen could still see his nervousness.
"Chairman Bai, is this person the treasure appraisal expert you invited? With this kind of character, I think you should get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise there will be problems with the geology and I won't be able to control it!" Zhang Yongman looked unhappy.
Looking at Bai Huasheng, he said that he didn't want to waste words with Zhou Zichen. The most important thing was that Zhou Zichen made him feel very dangerous, so he wanted to squeeze Zhou Zichen away first.
"You mean, as long as you keep digging down, something will happen?" Zhou Zichen looked at Zhang Yongman with a sneer. When he just talked nonsense with Zhang Yongman, Zhou Zichen had already observed the situation underground.
Zhou Zichen has read every book, no matter what field it is in, so now those geological books have finally come in handy. Although Zhou Zichen has not studied what kind of ground can bear pressure, but the ground below is all granite, is it possible that it can
Overwhelmed?
The fault above is just because Bai Huasheng and the others have not fully exploited it, so this situation has occurred. What's more, there is basically dark sand below this section. There may not be any problems in the next few years, but if time goes by,
, or there was an earthquake or something like that, it would be strange if this building didn’t collapse!
"Yes, that's what I mean, what do you think? If you don't believe me, you can try it, as long as you can bear the consequences!" Seeing Zhou Zichen's appearance, Zhang Yongman felt a little angry in his heart, and looked at Zhou Zichen with the same cold eyes.
"Haha... Mr. Bai, I suggest you find some professionals. This kind of so-called bricks and mortar will only put you in jail!" Zhou Zichen sneered twice, if there is something wrong with the foundation of this place.
, a collapse really happened one day, it would be strange if Bai Huasheng was not arrested by then!
Bai Huasheng frowned and looked at Zhou Zichen and Zhang Yongman who were arguing. He didn't know who to believe for a moment. Zhou Zichen was a young man, and so was Zhang Yongman.
"Mr. Zhou, let's put this matter aside for now. Why don't you take a look at the age of this bronze tripod and help me estimate the price!" Bai Huasheng finally chose to believe Zhang Yongman. After all, Zhang Yongman is a geological expert, and Zhou Zichen
He is just an expert in treasure appraisal, but when it comes to geological issues, Bai Huasheng still believes in Zhang Yongman.
Zhou Zichen shrugged. He came here to appraise treasures, and the others had nothing to do with him. Since Bai Huasheng insisted on doing so, Zhou Zichen couldn't say anything. Anyway, he and Bai Huasheng had no friendship.
Zhang Yongman looked at Zhou Zichen with a proud face, a victorious smile on his face, while Zhou Zichen rolled his eyes and cursed: "Idiot!"
Zhou Zichen's words were neither big nor small, but they were just enough for Zhang Yongman to hear. After Zhou Zichen finished speaking, he jumped directly into the pit, while Zhang Yongman was jumping angrily on the spot, and Zhou Zichen didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Zhou Zichen first used his eyesight to analyze the material of the bronze tripod, and was basically able to determine that it was a bronze vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Then Zhou Zichen quickly rubbed the bronze vessel until his fingers became hot, and then placed his fingers on it.
He sniffed it with his nose.
"Sweetness...it's definitely a bronze!" Zhou Zichen nodded, and then said to Bai Watson.
"Hmph! Who can't tell lies?" Zhang Yongman stood behind Zhou Zichen at some point, looking at Zhou Zichen with a disdainful expression.
Zhou Zichen frowned. He didn't know when he had offended this person. They were in tit-for-tat with him from the beginning, and they are still struggling with him now.
"Mr. Zhou, please explain it to me." Bai Huasheng glanced at Zhang Yongman lightly, and then said to Zhou Zichen.
Zhang Yongman originally wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bai Huasheng's look, so he could only let Zhou Zichen go.
"It's very simple. First of all, look at the material. It is made of bronze. It is impossible to fake it with modern industrial manufacturing techniques. Furthermore, the most important thing in judging bronze is to smell it. Just now I smelled something on it.
It had a musty sweet smell, so I concluded it was bronze."
Zhou Zichen explained to Bai Huasheng one by one that he did not have much experience in identifying bronze ware, but the bronze tripod in front of him was probably not worth much, because the patterns on it were not very delicate, and it was probably not a symbol of nobility at that time.
.
"Then what's its estimated value?" Seeing Zhou Zichen's explanation, Bai Huasheng became somewhat convinced.
"It's estimated to be in the early 200,000." Zhou Zichen shook his head. This bronze tripod is indeed worthless.
Bronze ware was a symbol of status at that time. No matter how rich civilians were, they could not own it. Once they were found to have cast or collected it privately, it was a serious crime to be beheaded at that time.
However, the value of this bronze is very low, and its owner's status should not be high. However, this deep pit contains not only this bronze tripod, but also many other things.
"Such a low price?" Bai Huasheng frowned, but as a businessman, although he looked down upon two hundred thousand yuan, every dime was money in his eyes, and he would not look down upon any bit of money.
"No way, the bronze is not just about the time when it was unearthed, but the most important thing is the pattern on it." Zhou Zichen paused and then said, "Mr. Bai, please look at the pattern on it. It's messy and irregular. If it was made at that time,
Important people would definitely not cast it so casually."
The pattern on this bronze tripod is indeed very complex, and there is no specific pattern. There is even a possibility that it is just a defective product and was not cast specifically for anyone. Generally speaking, something with a status symbol,
There are usually dragons, snakes, cows and other patterns on it, symbolizing the noble status of the owner.
"Chairman Bai, I've told you a long time ago that these things are worthless at all. I don't know how deep the things below are. If we dig deeper, we will lose a building just for such a small amount of money."
?”
Zhang Yongman interrupted again at this time, and at the same time looked at Zhou Zichen with unkind eyes. Zhou Zichen was really curious this time, why did Zhang Yongman insist on asking Bai Huasheng to give up these bronze tripods?
"Mr. Zhou, will the value of this bronze tripod be lost if the buttons at its feet are untied?" Bai Huasheng still wanted to take these things out. After all, this is an antique cultural relic, and maybe it will appreciate in value in the future.
"Probably not, but I still suggest Mr. Bai dig some more, because generally speaking, there will never be just one bronze ware. As for the other scattered things, they are all decorations.
Together they are not as valuable as this bronze tripod."
Zhou Zichen went on to say that he had looked at everything around him. They were all small wine glasses and the like. They were probably all used for practicing.
And what Zhou Zichen said was not unfounded. He just used his eyes to observe things underground. What surprised Zhou Zichen was that there was a huge thing in the dark sand below, connected to the bronze tripod on the ground.
, is one of the "feet".
What is really hidden underground is a bronze tripod decorated with a huge dragon head, with inscriptions, engraved hieroglyphs, traces of misalignment, and symmetrical patterns. If it can be excavated, it will definitely be a rare treasure in the world!
"Dr. Bai, you must not dig! If a collapse occurs, how will you explain it to the people above?" Zhang Yongman directly stood up and confronted Zhou Zichen, trying to prevent Bai Hua from destroying the foundation.
