My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 252 The Amazing Carpet

Marquis is impatient, so he called the auction house without saying a word.

As for the people from the auction house, when they heard that it was Picasso's work, they didn't talk nonsense, so they immediately sent someone over, and the two hit it off.When they came to the Marquis's castle, Fang Xing and the others were still sorting out those antiques, and even Elder Zhao also came.

Five people came from the auction house, and they also brought instruments.

They first appraised the painting, and it took almost an hour to confirm that it was Picasso's work, and it was also a fine work.

Soon, they gave an estimate of 1000 million euros.

This made the Marquis very happy.

He gave most of the credit to Fang Xing.If it wasn't for Fang Xing, he might have sold the painting cheaply, and it would be too late to regret it!

In addition, the Marquis has a good impression of all Chinese people, and enthusiastically persuades Mr. Zhao and others to stay.

"Sigh! If I knew it earlier, you should have missed it." Liu Shijun secretly said to Fang Xing.

1000 million euros, more than 8000 million yuan!

Anyway, at the beginning, everyone didn't know that it was Picasso's work. If you give it one million or hundreds of thousands of euros, the Marquis will probably sell it, right?
Fang Xing rolled his eyes, he really wanted to say: I want to too!But the system doesn't allow it.

That's right!Before the system came another task [Help the Marquis to identify famous paintings and reward a batch of pirate treasures. 】

Although Fang Xing didn't know the value of the pirate's treasure, he still looked forward to it.

"I didn't know it was so valuable!" Fang Xing casually said.

"Besides, we've made a lot of money this time. If you don't believe me, just ask Mr. Zhao."

Mr. Zhao nodded: "It's just that the total value of these porcelains should exceed 500 million euros. You guys are picking up a big leak."

He found that there might be some problems with the direction of his efforts over the years.There are roughly three types of cultural relics lost overseas in China: the first type is collected in major museums; the second type is collected by royal families and tycoons from various countries;

They can completely attack the folks!

If you want to get back the collections of museums, royal families, rich people, and tycoons in various countries, you have to grind them slowly, not in a hurry.

Moreover, those national treasures are usually well preserved.

On the contrary, the private ones are difficult to keep properly and are relatively easy to recover.The part that lives among the people is the most urgent to get back.

After Mr. Zhao returned to China, he planned to focus on this proposal and set up a special team to do it.

Just like now, Fang Xing and the others recovered so many antiques at a price of 100 million euros, making a lot of money.

Liu Shijun, Xu Qing and the others were taken aback.

"Is the porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China so valuable?" Liu Shijun asked doubtfully.

Fang Xing glanced at the Marquis and his family who were talking to the auction house in the distance, and said with a smile: "It's not just from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China! That blue and white porcelain is from the Ming Dynasty..."

The more Liu Shijun and others listened, the more numb their scalp became.

"Okay, it's still in his territory! Don't discuss it yet." Mr. Zhao glared at Fang Xing and the others.

Everyone shut up immediately.

Fang Xing didn't speak anymore, and quietly rolled up a stall.

"Isn't it? The street stalls are not spared?" Liu Shijun was surprised.

Mr. Zhao and the others also looked over. It's not easy for Fang Xing to do it himself, right?

Xu Qing and the audience in her live broadcast room were equally curious, they had all seen Fang Xing before.

"Hush! This is the Clark sickle-leaf carpet. I'll explain it to everyone when I get back."

Mr. Zhao and the others are all insiders, so they naturally heard of the Clark sickle-leaf carpet, and their hearts were shocked.

The viewers in Xu Qing's live broadcast room have already found relevant information on the Internet.Take a look, I'll go!A stall worth 3000 to [-] million dollars?

Are you serious?

2013年纽约苏富比拍卖会上，克拉克镰叶纹地毯被一位匿名藏家以3376.5万美元拍下。那条长8英尺9英寸、宽6英尺5英寸的纯手工编织地毯，被誉为地毯编织史上最好的作品。

Woven from wool, cotton, and silk, the rug was donated to the Kircoran Gallery in Washington by William Clark.

Even if the Clark sickle-leaf carpet that Fang Xing got this time is not as precious as the auctioned one, as long as it is worth half of it, it will be more than 1000 million US dollars.

"My God! You've made a lot of money!"

"Calm down, making a fortune in silence is the kingly way."

"Poor Marquis, the most valuable thing is this carpet, right? I gave it away for free. If I find out in the future, I won't regret it until my guts turn green?"

"I don't regret not knowing, but if he knows, he must have disliked us Chinese, right?"

"A joke! If it weren't for Mr. Fang, his painting would have to be sold at a low price."

"That's not what you say."

……

Seeing the speech in the live broadcast room, Fang Xing said with a smile: "Actually, it's not as precious as you think. Not all Clark sickle-leaf carpets are so valuable. I don't know the exact price of this one. It’s tens of thousands of dollars, or even thousands of dollars.”

This kind of carpet is somewhat similar to our domestic thangka.

There are tens of millions of thangkas, and there are tens of thousands of yuan, and the prices vary greatly.

The Clark sickle rug is no exception.

"Currently, the most expensive carpets in the world are Persian carpets, and the Clark sickle-leaf carpets belong to Persian carpets. Some people may ask, is there no valuable carpets in China?

Yes, it is from the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the eight most expensive carpets in the world. It was once sold for more than 1000 million RMB, setting a record for the highest auction price of a carpet in China. "

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, wool carpet weaving in China reached its peak.In the Ming Dynasty, there were special institutions for weaving carpets for the court. The carpets produced by these institutions all have a characteristic, that is, mulberry silk is used as the warp thread, and wool is then woven on the warp thread. The overall carpet is relatively thick.

The carpet that sold for a sky-high price was also very exquisite in design. The surface of the carpet is a repeated lotus pattern, and the side of the carpet is the traditional Chinese pattern "卍", which is full of tranquility and beauty.

What is commendable is that the carpet has been preserved to this day, and the condition of the carpet is still very good, as if it has just been woven, and can be used as a floor. It can be seen that during the Ming Dynasty, our Chinese carpet weaving skills have been perfected.

For a moment, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't look directly at the carpet.

Who would have thought that the things underfoot could be so ridiculously expensive?
In the evening, the Marquis rarely invited a servant to entertain the guests.In order to cater to the tastes of Fang Xing and other Chinese people, Chen Huaqiang was also invited to help.

The most coquettish thing was to take out a few bottles of Moutai, which made many viewers in the live broadcast burst out laughing.

The Marquis told Fang Xing and the others that the painting had been handed over to the auction house, and the auction would be held a month later, and even signed a 1000 million euro guarantee agreement with the auction house.

In addition, Bangzi, who pretended to be a Chinese before, was also arrested by the police and notified them to the South Korean consulate.

This incident was quite a big one.That night, the famous French TV station reported the incident.
