My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 147

Huo Caiguang, who had just held a successful auction in Yunwu Village, was very anxious and explained to the head office over and over again, but the head office just didn't agree.

They believed that building an office in a small mountain village would lower the image and grade of their company.

That's right!Just yesterday, when he was talking with Fang Xing about further cooperation, Fang Xing made such a suggestion.

Establish a permanent auction place in Cloud Mist Village.

At that time, Huo Caiguang felt that it would be difficult for the head office to pass this proposal.Sure enough, this world is more difficult than he imagined.

Huo Caiguang felt that the group of people in the headquarters had habitually set their eyes high above the top, and they couldn't see the value of Fang Xing at all.

Especially after the "Lanting Collection Preface" and the BJ human skull fossil appeared, he guessed that the Fang family still had many treasures, and it would not be a problem to support multiple auctions.

However, other people speak lightly, and there is no way to change too much.

In addition, he himself knew that there were more than one or two colleagues staying in Yunwu Village.

What he didn't know was that at this very moment, the person in charge of the Guardian Auction House was having a meal with Fang Xing and discussing the cooperation between the two parties.

"Mr. Fang, I can guarantee that Huo Caiguang will not be able to convince their company. The international auction house! It is impossible to establish a fixed auction site in Yunwu Village.

Not to mention Christie's, even our Guardian Auction House has to think carefully.However, I believe in you, Mr. Fang, and in the potential of Yunwu Village, so I am willing to try. "The short-haired lady in front of her analyzed.

Her name is Jiang Wanyu, and she is the business manager of Guardian Auction Company.

In the auction a few days ago, the total transaction price exceeded [-] million, which made the auction world realize Fang Xing and Yunwu Village.

Watching Christie's take the first bite of crab, it is impossible for other auction companies to have no idea.

Guardian Auction House, as one of the leading auction giants in the country, also has its eye on Fang Xing's fat.

Jiang Wanyu learned of Fang Xing's plan through her own channels, and wanted to establish a fixed auction site in Yunwu Village.

She knew that her chance had come.

Because a top international auction company like Christie's doesn't bother to build a fixed office in a small mountain village. Their rank is placed there, so they can't lower their status, right?

Of course, there is also a kind of thinking that they think that after the last auction, there is not much value left on Fang Xing, so there is no need to pay such a heavy price.

"Can Manager Jiang represent Guardian?" Fang Xing asked.

Fang Xing also guessed that Huo Caiguang's side should be dead.The cooperation with Christie's is a one-time opportunity.

"Before meeting with Mr. Fang, I have already consulted my superiors. The superiors have sent a message that we can set up a temporary auction house in Yunwu Village. Whether the word 'temporary' can be removed in the future depends on the situation. Mr. Fang, you Don't you lack confidence?" Jiang Wanyu laughed.

"That's not enough, okay, let's try to cooperate! You guys set up the auction house as soon as possible, and we will hold it every month or two in the future."

Jiang Wanyu was slightly startled: Hold it every month or every two months?
You know, many auction companies hold an auction every season.This is mainly because high-quality auction items are hard to find. It seems that Fang Xing is very confident in his own treasures.

I also saw that the Fang family does have many treasures that we have never met.

"Mr. Fang, do you have any ideas for the next auction? Can you tell me?" Jiang Wanyu asked.

"I have a batch of treasures from the Qin Dynasty and before the Qin Dynasty. It is rumored that they belonged to the Efang Palace. You can find someone to identify them.

At that time, just hold an auction on this theme, there should be a selling point, right? "Together with the BJ human skull fossil, there are also those treasures from the Efang Palace!

Jiang Wanyu's eyes straightened.

"The treasure of Efang Palace?"

This is too gimmick!

You must know that Efang Palace is known as the No. [-] palace in the world. It is a super palace complex built with the power of the whole country after Qin Shihuang unified China. It is of great significance.

Du Mu's "Ode to Efang Palace" made future generations marvel at the splendor of that palace and its countless jewels, which made future generations feel sorry for it.

Such a palace group was destroyed by a torch.

Although it is said that it is a palace built by scraping the fat and anointing of the people, such an extravagant palace does not know how many people have suffered.However, after the capital was built, the people who burned the palace would not cherish the painstaking efforts of the common people even less?

This is actually not much different from the burning of the Old Summer Palace back then.

"There is no evidence to directly prove that it is the treasure of Efang Palace. But my batch of things is indeed from the Qin Dynasty and before that, you can send someone to do the appraisal. Among them, there are more precious ones, which can definitely support an auction The meeting scene." Fang Xing had seen that batch of treasures.

"Oh! Can you say one or two things specifically?"

"Have you heard of Sui Hou Zhu?" Fang Xing smiled slightly, put the teacup in his hand on the table, and took a bite of food.

"Sui Hou Zhu?"

Jiang Wanyu was a little frightened.

She is not proficient in antiques and cultural relics, but she is not illiterate either. She knows that Suihou Zhu and Heshibi are called the second treasure of Spring and Autumn.

Legend has it that Sui Hou, the monarch of Sui Kingdom, saw a wounded big snake on the side of the road in great pain during a trip. Sui Hou felt sorry for it and ordered the snake to be bandaged with medicine and released back to the grass.After recovering, the big snake came to Suihou's residence with a night pearl in his hand, and said, "I am the son of the Dragon King. I am grateful for your kindness in saving my life, and I am here to repay my kindness."

This is the Suihou Pearl known as the "Spiritual Snake Pearl".

Some people may say that it is just a legend, and there should be no such treasure in history.

In fact, it is not the case, the Suihou Pearl is real, and there are related records in various documents and historical books.

Later generations have never stopped guessing about Suihou Zhu.

For example, some people say that the Suihou Pearl is just a big pearl.However, this is obviously not very reasonable.Pearls are organic gemstones, composed of calcium carbonate, which are easy to decompose and difficult to pass down for hundreds of years.

It was also thought to be beads.According to the evidence, more than a hundred material beads were unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng in Suizhou, the largest of which is 2.3 cm in diameter, and some people think it is Sui beads.It is actually a naturally occurring volcanic glass.

It is also said that it is diamond, mainly based on diamond crystals, which are mostly spherical, colorless and transparent, with strong luster, etc., but these evidences are not sufficient.

Suihou beads are fluorite, which is a guess generally accepted by later generations.First of all, fluorite is produced in the northern part of Suizhou.Secondly, fluorite is indeed a luminous mineral.

There is another question that has always troubled cultural relics and historians of later generations.

When did the Suihou Pearl be lost?

Everyone only knows that Suihou Zhu was originally a national treasure of Suiguo. After Suiguo was destroyed by Chu, Suihouzhu fell into the hands of Chu, and when Qin destroyed Chu, it finally fell into the hands of Qin Shihuang.

From Li Si's "Book of Remonstrance and Exorcism", we can confirm that both Heshibi and Suihouzhu were in the hands of Qin Shihuang.

"The jade that your Majesty sent to Kunshan today is the treasure of easygoing and harmony, the pearl of the hanging moon... Qin did not have one of these treasures, but what did your Majesty say?"

This is the record in "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guest".

After the fall of the Qin State, the whereabouts of Suihou Zhu was unknown. Some people thought that he was buried with Qin Shihuang in the Qin Emperor's underground palace.

"No matter how much I say, it's useless, why don't you find someone to appraise it." Fang Xing is not afraid of appraisal!

As for the Heshibi, one of the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was made into a jade seal by Qin Shihuang.
