Chapter 1697 Strange Bronze Vessel
Then there is dewaxing, which is to put the crusted mold shell into hot water.

Because the wax melts with heat and is lighter than water, it gushes out of the form and rises to the surface, creating a cavity.

Finally, the mold shell of the cavity is put into the roasting furnace.

Raise the temperature to 800 degrees for roasting, and then pour the melted bronze liquid into the baked mold shell to form it.

The third step is to clean the shell, polish and make old.

Shell cleaning is to remove the outside and inside of the mold shell that has been poured.

Then use machinery and equipment to slightly polish the product after cleaning the shell.

Finally, the surface treatment of the product is carried out. This is the chemical reaction used, and the formula is generally kept secret.

In this process, the better the chemical reaction and formula, the more ideal the effect will be.

The last process is to make the old, and the old is also an extremely important process in the production.

The bronze ware unearthed today has a layer of turquoise rust on its surface due to thousands of years of chemical reactions.

Nowadays, to produce patina in just four or five days, it is necessary to accelerate the natural corrosion of copper through modern chemical reactions.

Generally, high imitations approved by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage will take nearly a year or even longer to produce just one level of rust.

The ratio of casting and the rust color of the utensils caused by the local natural environment are also varied.

There are water rust, black paint ancient, green paint ancient, red rust and so on.

In order to achieve a realistic effect, it needs to be processed many times, and the pH and humidity of the environment must be adjusted at any time.

Since the rust color produced after aging is a natural chemical reaction of copper, even the same product has different rust colors, which makes antique bronzes more valuable for collection.

Of course, this is also an official imitation, and the imitations are all masters, so this has a certain value.

For example, if Cao Qingchun brought back the two modern high imitation phoenix statues, if they were not official imitations, if they were not top-notch craftsmanship, how could he have brought them to Chen Wenzhe?

The bronze wares that Cao Qingchun brought this time were all high-quality goods, so Chen Wenzhe naturally would not treat him badly.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe directly asked Li Jinli to take Cao Qingchun to transfer the money, and it was 5000 million at a time, and this was because he had already helped Cao Qingchun pay 5000 million in advance.

There is no way, not to mention other things, it is just the Western Zhou stone frog, why should Chen Wenzhe give Cao Qingchun 3000 million, right?

Twenty-eight million yuan was auctioned more than ten years ago. If it weren't for the downturn in the antique market in recent years, the price of 800 million yuan would not be high for him.

There are quite a few other 1000 million items, such as the Hanging Man Bronze Spear and Rabbit Zun, each of which is worth more than 1000 million.

Even if it's the two copied Fengniao Zun, even if it's a modern imitation, it's normal for each piece to be worth five or six million yuan just by looking at the imitation technology.

Therefore, giving [-] million is not much at all.

Of course, compared to Cao Qingchun, this is too much.

Because many of the things he brought this time are considered to have been picked up by him.

For example, the stone frog from the Western Zhou Dynasty and the two rabbit statues cost him less than 3000 million in total.

All other things are counted, and it does not exceed 5000 million.

And Chen Wenzhe helped advance the money, otherwise he wouldn't have the money to collect these things at all.

However, Cao Qingchun should really earn this money.

Because this time Cao Qingchun was not an intermediary, but a second-hand dealer.

If Chen Wenzhe hadn't used Chen Wenzhe's funds and reputation, the cultural relics he brought this time would be considered as little as 5000 million yuan.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe gave [-] million in cash, not too much, not too little.

"Don't refuse, we two brothers, each earned at least 5000 million."

He took Cao Qingchun to the bank of Chenghuang Temple Antique City, and after transferring the account, the two came to the Antique City.

"Earning 5000 million at a time is still too much, after all, I used your name!"

Cao Qingchun was still a little uneasy, after all, he earned too much this time.

"You put your heart into it. You deserve it. Besides, I didn't suffer."

Chen Wenzhe shook his head directly. If he didn't pay the corresponding amount of money, even if he was a good friend, how long would he be able to help him?
They have all graduated for several years, and they all need to buy a house or a car, so they must settle accounts clearly with their brothers.

Besides, if you only think about taking advantage, will Cao Qingchun still be as attentive as he is now?
Maybe it's okay at first, but after a long time, there will always be resentment.

Following Cao Qingchun, they soon came to an antique stall, because there was a very strange bronze ware in this stall.

The stall owner was quite knowledgeable. He knew that Cao Qingchun was collecting antiques for Chen Wenzhe, so he didn't agree to sell them directly to Cao Qingchun, and wanted him to introduce them.

A strange bronze vessel seemed to be genuine, so naturally Cao Qingchun would not let it go.

No, taking advantage of the money transfer, they brought Chen Wenzhe here.

A few people exchanged a few words, and the surroundings were full of people.

Chen Wenzhe took a closer look at the things on the booth. There were quite a few bronze wares, but most of them were either unsightly tattered or fake.

Chen Wenzhe became serious when the stall owner took out something.

This bronze vessel is really peculiar. Although it has four legs like a tripod, there is an animal head protruding from one side.

The main body of the cultural relic is also quite peculiar, like four cups inlaid on a box.

The most peculiar thing is that there is a big hole in the center of the box.

So this object has five holes in total. Chen Wenzhe has never seen such a strange bronze vessel.

However, he seems to have heard of this thing.

"This is a fabrication, right? It's nothing like it!"

Before Chen Wenzhe could speak, some stall owners who came to watch the fun had already started discussing.

"Is Chen Wenzhe, who didn't look at Yi Nian Tang, appraising it? If it's a forgery, he would have left long ago."

"Is this the real thing? But what is this thing for?"

"If we knew, why would we still need to set up a stall?"

Chen Wenzhe didn't care about the people around him, he just knew that with his reputation now, it would be very difficult to pick up the leaks.

Let's just say that in this antique city, is there anyone who doesn't know him?
Even when Cao Qingchun came over, no matter what he bought, he couldn't make a low price to pick it up.

"How much do you plan to sell this thing for?" Chen Wenzhe asked after only a few glances.

The stall owner was taken aback, and then said: "Although I don't know what it is, I am sure that it is an ancient bronze ware. With such a special shape, it should be very rare, so the price must not be low, and it will cost 1000 million."

"1000 million?" Chen Wenzhe smiled. This bronze ware is priceless, even if it is 1000 million.

However, he has no price for this kind of bronze ware, not to say that it is a priceless treasure, but because bronze ware of this type is very rare, and few have been unearthed.

Very little, but not none.
