The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

Chapter 129
"Boss, in one morning, the total amount of money we bid for reached 18 US dollars!"

Jason excitedly reported to Zhu Yu.

"There may be more in the afternoon." Zhu Yu was not surprised, he followed the whole process.

Of the seven containers, three made money, two basically returned their capital, and two lost some money.

But the eyes of the treasure hunters were all very hot, because most of the people who took pictures of these seven containers made money when they saw them!

In the past, only one-fifth or one-sixth of the money could be made at the auction in the freight yard. Now?More than half of them made money!
This warehouse can come!
Although most of the treasure hunters did not take pictures of the container, in their opinion, they just lacked some courage and ability this time!

If I had been more impulsive and decisive at that time, and had shouted higher when the price was raised, then I would be the one who made money!
This is like a gambler, who always looks at the moment when he might win, and brags to others about the times he has won.

As for losing?
It's just bad luck!

Therefore, as far as Zhu Yu could imagine, the container auction in the afternoon would be even more lively.

So Zhu Yu didn't go back at noon, but went to their house with Jason.

Ever since Zhu Yu moved into the villa, he hadn't eaten here again.

So when Freya saw Zhu Yu, she was very happy.

At noon, I ate stir-fried vegetables with rice, and goulash seems to be Freya's specialty.

Zhu Yu was so hungry that he ate two bowls in a row, still feeling unsatisfied.

Then rush to the freight yard with Jason.

Zhu Yu would think that there would be more people in the afternoon than in the morning.

It's just that he didn't expect that there were half as many treasure hunters as there were in the morning!
Hei Ya Ya, at least 50 people!

Zhu Yu had never seen so many people at a freight yard container auction!
The seven containers in the afternoon are not as valuable as the ones in the morning.

However, to Zhu Yu's surprise, the container with the highest asking price in the afternoon was called forty-seven thousand dollars!
In the end, seven containers were auctioned for $21!
Of the seven containers, only two made money, and the other five lost money.

Especially the one with the highest offer, who lost at least thirty thousand dollars!
However, the enthusiasm of the treasure hunters has not fallen at all!
Some treasure hunters even ran over and asked Zhu Yu, when will the next game start?
Zhu Yu replied that it was three days later.

It's been a while, the treasure hunters mutter.

Zhu Yu was speechless.

Hurry up to give yourself money!
$40 in one day!
Pays almost nothing!
Too much money!

Much faster than bidding on containers!
How long did it take him to accumulate $40 in the first place?
At least a week, right?

What now?
one day!
No wonder some people say that earning 1 yuan with a capital of one yuan is more difficult than earning a million with a capital of 1 yuan!

Although there are many, but for Zhu Yu's current debts, this is a steady flow of water, and it will not help for the time being.

After all the treasure hunters left, those who took photos of the containers took away their things, and after the garbage was cleaned up, Zhu Yu went to the three containers that he had left behind.

Here, there is something that he didn't quite understand before, but he should be able to figure it out now.

Jason wanted to follow, Zhu Yu waved his hand and said:

"No need."

I can do it myself.

He took the hydraulic tongs and walked over to one of the containers.

According to the news from the freight yard owner, this container was sent from Huaxia.

Because the consignor is unknown, the consignee did not leave a specific address and contact information, only a name.

It has been more than three months since no one claimed it, so it was sold.

Zhu Yu opened the container with forceps, and what he saw were several large cardboard boxes, inside which were relatively bulky books and small electrical appliances in boxes, and inside, several large suitcases were piled up together.

Some of the books on the inside of the cardboard box are orphans, and the eyes of the sky glanced at them, and they are all from decades ago and hundreds of years ago. It is no problem to say that they are cultural relics.

Inside the suitcase, there are small objects wrapped in foam plastic-these small objects are at least 100 years ago!

There are porcelain wares, such as brush washers, pen holders, and small cups; copper wares, such as incense burners, Buddha statues, and candlesticks; silver wares, such as ingots and longevity locks; There are jade articles, such as Ruyi, jade pendants, small jade bowls and so on.

There are almost hundreds of pieces, depending on the year, from more than a hundred years ago to a thousand years ago.

At the back of the container, there is a safe wrapped in coarse cloth.

Zhu Yu walked over and looked at it carefully, and gave up the idea of ​​asking a locksmith to come over to look at the safe.

The inside of this old-fashioned safe has the original code sequence for opening it.

Zhu Yu tried to go through the sequence of turning three, turning five, and turning six again.

The door opened.

Two upper drawers.After opening it, there were gold bars and wads of dollars inside.

The total value of these things alone exceeds one million.

The lower layer is a cloth bag, inside is a nanmu box, open the box, wrapped in brocade, is a summer mat.

Ordinary people may find it strange, why would someone put a mat in this?

Zhu Yu Tianyan has already seen that this mat is an antique, at least 300 years old.

More importantly, this summer mat is made of ivory!
The day before yesterday, after Zhu Yu saw this thing through his celestial eyes, he went back and searched for it.

The search results startled him!
If there are more than a dozen Tang knives in existence, there are only three ivory mats left in the world.

Ivory mats have a very long history. In "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes", there is a record that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "given ivory mats to Mrs. Li", and the ivory mats are ivory mats.

The mat woven with ivory silk has fine and uniform texture, smooth and smooth surface, soft and comfortable, and can be rolled up freely. In summer, it is cooler and more pleasant than straw and bamboo mats. It was an important tribute at that time.

In the era when the custom of sitting on the ground was popular, it was quite normal for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to give precious ivory mats to his beloved concubines.

"Wei Shu·Han Wu Biography": "Han Wu removes the governor of Zhizhou and presents ivory mats with seven treasure beds." "Gezhi Jingyuan" records: "Che Yong is the governor of Guangzhou, and his son serves as a multi-work ivory mat, and the natives suffer from it." .It shows that ivory mats have been made from time to time since the Han Dynasty.

The three ivory mats currently in existence were made during the Yongzheng and Qianlong years (1723-1735) of the Qing Dynasty. They were tributes presented to the court by local officials in Guangdong. The specific production methods have long been lost.According to the old technician, this kind of product can only be made in the south, because the climate in the north is relatively dry, and the ivory is easy to break when it is chopped into pieces, and it is impossible to weave it into mats.

In addition, a special potion was probably concocted to soak the ivory in order to soften it before chopping and weaving it.In short, the craftsmanship is quite complicated and the cost is very expensive, so Emperor Yongzheng, who has always regarded himself as frugal, decreed not to do it again.

Zhu Yu opened the nanmu box, took out the mat and looked at it carefully.

This ivory mat is more than two meters long and one meter wide, and is woven from many ivory sheets less than half a centimeter wide.The weaving pattern is in the shape of a "herringbone", and three laces are woven around the mat with ivory pieces dyed black, which is the same as the information found on the Internet.

It means that this is one of the five ivory mats that were tributed to the palace back then!
Just how is it here?
