My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 402 Yi County Tricolor Arhat
Mr. Zhao and the others did not dare to relax, and carefully inspected every national treasure to be exchanged.

Although these treasures can only be regarded as Fang Xing's private property, it is a good thing to be able to return to the country. Even if they are national first-class cultural relics, private individuals are allowed to collect them.

Except for those with special significance like Chuanguo Yuxi.

Xia Yu and the others are very relieved that they will not be fooled with Mr. Zhao and the others.

Although there were only 10 treasures, Mr. Zhao and the others spent half a day, and even held a meeting to discuss and verify them.

"The cultural relics are fine." Finally, Mr. Zhao told Fang Xing and the others, indicating that they can be exchanged.

A group of experts couldn't help sighing, this time they just woke up, and the harvest is really not insignificant.

"It's still the old rules, Mr. Zhao, you can help me send the things back by the way.

By the way, I will give the three-color arhat of Yi County to the country.Mr. Zhao, help me find a reliable museum. "Fang Xing said, he was embarrassed to let Mr. Zhao and the others go for nothing.

When Mr. Zhao and the others heard this, their eyes widened.

"really?"

That is the three-color arhat in Yi County!

Speaking of the three-color arhat in Yi County, Chinese cultural relics experts in the past would sigh and regret it.

The Republic of China had just replaced the Qing Dynasty, and warlords were still fighting everywhere.This turbulent era is the "golden age" of "antique trade".Many foreign antique dealers are also fishing in troubled waters, searching for cultural relics everywhere in China.

German Parkinski is one of the best.

In the summer of 1912, Pakinsky saw a three-color arhat statue in BJ, which made him amazed.

Because he has been immersed in this way all year round, he knows that there are very few works in ancient Chinese statues that are created according to the proportion of the human body.The Buddha statue in front of me is life-size, with a calm and peaceful expression, with meditation seals on both hands, and a cassock with natural texture, majestic and full of Zen.He immediately expressed his intention to buy it, but was told that the Buddha statue had already been bought by the Japanese.Faced with such an exquisite and rare statue, Parkinski naturally refused to give up.

After many inquiries, he finally learned from the Japanese that this Arhat statue came from a certain cave in Bafowa, Yi County, HEB Province, 130 kilometers southwest of BJ.

So, he and the translator, led by a guide, wandered in the mountains with a compass, telegraph, telescope, etc., trying to find the hidden "treasure cave".

Finally, he climbed into the Suizi Cave, which is located halfway up the mountain, but was greatly disappointed: there was no arhat in the cave, only a statue of Maitreya and the Maiden of Good Fortune left in the Ming Dynasty.

The guide revealed to him that another group of foreign antique dealers had already "mopped up" this.Enticed by their high price, the locals smuggled the Arhat statue down the mountain at night.Due to the steep mountain road, some Arhat statues were unfortunately broken during transportation.

The well-preserved statues of Arhats were sold to foreign antique dealers or hidden by local people, waiting for a price.

Parkinski's experience of searching for the three-colored arhat statue in Yi County was recorded in a book "Journey to China".As soon as the book was released, it immediately set off a storm.

According to later statistics, there were 16 three-color life-sized Arhat statues in Liao Dynasty in Suizi Cave, Yixian County, at least 3 of which were destroyed.

At present, there are 10 surviving statues of Arhats that can be checked in museums all over the world.It is said that 8 of them were transported overseas by Pakinsky.Once these statues came out, they caused a huge sensation in the antique collection circle.

Ironically, we don't have one in China.

It has to be said that this is the pain of the nation and the death of a national treasure.

"Haha! Mr. Zhao, you all know me. When did you say such a big thing?"

Not to mention the three-color arhats in Yi County, the Chuanguo Yuxi was given to the country. Is it better than the Chuanguo Yuxi?

Mr. Zhao and the others smiled gratifiedly. They admired Fang Xing the most.That's why they are willing to help Fang wake up without violating the laws and regulations of the country.

"It's still your kid who has a high level of ideological awareness, okay! Don't worry, leave it to me."

This batch of national treasures is very important, plus the previous ones, it can be said that they are priceless and cannot be lost.Therefore, Mr. Zhao has already contacted the above and asked to send a special plane to pick him up.

That is also the treatment and arrangement that national treasures deserve.

As for the Metropolitan Museum, they also think they are making money.After the transaction was completed, the hype began, and a lot of media were invited to make things bigger.

All over the world, rumors about the Mayan civilization are once again on the cusp.

The fanatics of the Mayan civilization seemed to be eating ginseng fruit, and they were so excited that they spoke even louder.

The crystal skull was sold at a sky-high price. It is said that a super-rich man wants to pay a sky-high price of [-] million US dollars to buy one.

Seeing this news, Yuanyuan and Xia Yu somewhat regretted it.

One hundred million dollars! More than 6 million RMB.All their net worth is not that much.

"Haha! This must be falsely exaggerated. Sister Yuanyuan, don't be sad. In fact, whether this news is true or not is open to debate. It is likely to be hype by the auction company. For details, see the auction of those two stones." The situation will be known.

Moreover, even if it is true, it is only the recent trend.When this wind passes, the value of the Crystal Skull will definitely plummet, without the national treasure in your hands to preserve its value. "Fang Xing comforted them.

His words are not false, and his analysis is very reasonable.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the sudden explosion of the Crystal Skull was driven by capital.

Hearing what Fang Xing said, the two of them finally felt better.

"It's a loss, it's a loss! Anyway, I don't regret it." Xia Yu emphasized to herself.

If the dried lacquer and ramie seated Buddha statue he exchanged was put up for auction, even if it wasn't worth [-] million US dollars, it might not be too far off.Unlike Yuanyuan's piece with a hook, it certainly won't fetch $[-] million at auction.

Mr. Zhao and the others returned early with the national treasure in order not to have long nights and dreams, and extraneous problems.

Before leaving, he deliberately asked Fang Xing to stay for a while longer.

With Fang Xing's luck, he thought he could get back a batch of national treasures from the United States.This old man can't wait for Fang Xing to stay abroad forever.He also explained that if any national treasures found to be of wrong origin can be negotiated for the country.

No matter how much it is, after getting it back to China, it will be washed slowly.

During this period, Jackie Chan made a phone call and thanked Fang Xing again for taking him to fly.In addition, he also said that he will finish his work in two days, and he will also go to New York by then.

The meaning is obvious.

The Crystal Skull has brought him so much profit, isn't it more profitable than making a movie?He found that Fang Xing's thigh was really too thick!

And the happiest one is undoubtedly Jim.

If he really sold more than [-] million US dollars, he would be a billionaire!This kind of sudden wealth experience, novels dare not write like this, he is still immersed in the unbelievable.

In the past two days, Jim suffered from insomnia and fell into a carnival with his family.
