After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 462 740w
After taking this mysterious artifact back into the incense burner, Li Zhuo drove back to QH County, made some repairs, and then drove back to Altay.

After arriving, I went to the car dealership to return the car, and was fined extra money without accident.

The reason is also simple. Li Zhuo has been driving a bit aggressively these days, and he can drive on any terrain. It is normal to be fined.

After Li Zhuo returned the car and paid the fine, it was already dark, and he was still staying at the previous Jiyuhe Hotel.

In the morning of the next day, fly to Wushi first, and then fly to Modu from there.

The flight time, plus the waiting time, after arriving in Shanghai, it was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

When Li Zhuo got out of the airport, he called Zheng Heng and asked him to meet him at his Sheshan Manor villa in the World Trade Center.

After taking a taxi back to the villa, Li Zhuo asked the nanny. Chen Duling hadn't come back since he left for work last time.

She is busy and doesn't have much time to come and stay.

Li Zhuo asked the two nannies to do their own work, and then went upstairs to take out the gold vessel, carefully wiped it clean with a wet towel, and then put it in a gift box.

Half an hour later, Zheng Heng drove over.

It was the first time for him to visit Li Zhuo's villa, and he found it very fresh.

Not in a hurry to discuss business, Li Zhuo first led him to look around.

"This villa is really good. It occupies a large area and there are few people in the community. It is very suitable for living." Zheng Heng praised.

"I bought it because of this." Li Zhuo said with a smile.

Then Li Zhuo took him to the small living room on the second floor, and the two drank tea and chatted.

After that, Li Zhuo went to the bedroom and took that thing out.

Zheng Heng let out a cry of surprise after he got the tiger-eating horse gold artifact.

After looking at it carefully, he asked:

"Where did you buy this thing? It's not common in China."

"It was done at ALT in the Western Regions, and it cost a lot of money." Li Zhuo said casually.

Zheng Heng nodded and said:
"That's right, ALT has always been an important place for gold production, and it has always been a place where gold transactions have been frequent in history."

He then asked Li Zhuo:

"Do you know the name of this monster that looks like a horse?"

Li Zhuo shook his head and said:
"I just think it looks like a weird horse, I really don't know what it is."

Heng Zheng said:

"It's a bit weird. This style of goldware was actually made by the Scythians, the earliest nomadic empire builders in the history of Central Asia. People, the ancient Assyrians, the ancient Babylonians, and the ancient Persians all fought against each other.”

Li Zhuo was also surprised when he heard this:

"That's not BC?"

Zheng Heng nodded and said:
"Yes, the Scythians are nomadic people who live by grazing and raising horses. They were first active in the 10th century BC. They were active in today's Central Asia and the southern Russian grasslands. Their farthest influence extends to today's ALT region in the Western Regions. "

"This nation is very interesting. It has no written language, can't write, and is culturally backward. Therefore, it is deeply influenced by Greece, Persia, etc. They are very destructive in the Mesopotamia. They are called Scythians by the Assyrians. This nation Never use iron and silver, prefer to use gold and brass, mainly because they rule the most of these two metals."

Zheng Heng continued to introduce:
"The gold ware you bought has an image of a Caspian tiger with embossed moiré patterns inside, and the other one looks a bit strange, like a horse-shaped beak. This image is quite similar to a gold ware made by the Huns later. , called the Golden Monster, it has the body of a deer and the beak of a bird, with huge antlers on top of its head, made of pure gold."

"The monster in yours is obviously earlier than the deer-body gold monster of the Huns. It has a horse body and a bird beak. This monster is called Griffin. It is a monster created by the Scythians. It has many forms. The most common and most influential is the griffin with the body of the griffin, which was later spread to Europe, and is considered a powerful monster in medieval knight novels, whose duty is to guard the golden mountain."

Li Zhuo was a little confused, Zheng Heng simply said:
"You can think of it as a totem image of the belief of a nomadic people in Central Asia. It is a combination of various animal images. One is an eagle, and the others may be lions, horses, deer, antelopes, etc., in different forms."

Li Zhuo nodded:

"Understood, it is similar to the dragon totem of the Celestial Dynasty, and now it has become our symbol."

"Yes, that's what it means. The Griffin in your gold vessel is a monster with an eagle's beak, lion's claws, and a horse's body."

Li Zhuo asked:

"How is the quality of this piece of gold?"

Heng Zheng said:

"There is no problem with the quality. It is close to pure gold. Its sculpture style is also very good. Although the Scythians are culturally backward, they are still very skilled in gold jewelry. Its overall sculpture style is actually somewhat similar to that of Greek sculptures. It is similar in spirit and influenced by the ancient Persian decorative style, the level is really extraordinary, this one is very delicately carved, and the scene of two wild beasts fighting is very vividly portrayed."

Li Zhuo asked about the price of this piece of gold, Zheng Heng replied:

"To tell you the truth, fortunately, this item belongs to the Scythians. It is actually a cultural relic, but it has nothing to do with our country. Foreign things don't matter. We will sell it as a normal item. The weight of this gold item is heavy. It is big, well-shaped, and can be measured by the value of cultural relics, so the price must be relatively high.”

Li Zhuo asked:

"Can it be done?"

Zheng Heng nodded:

"Don't worry, no problem, I'll find someone to deal with it."

Zheng Heng chatted with Li Zhuo for a few more words, and then put the gold vessel into a gift box to take away.

The nanny's meal was almost ready, Li Zhuo left him for dinner, Zheng Heng shook his head and said:
"I'm not going to eat anymore, I'm going to get down to business first, and I'll be a guest again when I have a chance."

"That's fine." Li Zhuo said and sent him away.

After having dinner at home, Li Zhuo went to swim in the outdoor swimming pool, and it was more relaxing to soak in the water.

He didn't return to the room until after eight o'clock in the evening.

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, when it felt like it was almost done, Li Zhuo called Chen Duling.

She is currently filming in Hengdian, playing a supporting role, not too many roles.

Sure enough, she just finished filming today's scene, and while walking to the hotel, she was chatting with Li Zhuo.

The two didn't talk for long, and Chen Duling was busy with other things.

She has a lot of things to do recently, after filming this movie, she will join the filming of "Three Lines of Reincarnation", and she has no time to come back.

Li Zhuo was not disappointed after hearing this, and fell asleep after putting down the phone.

The next morning, Li Zhuo, who had been scrolling Douyin boringly, just received a message from Zhou Ge.

She has been touring various places a few days ago, and it was quite hard, so the theater gave them a 5-day vacation.

Now that she finally had time, she asked Li Zhuo if he was busy.

Li Zhuo replied:
"I'm very busy. I'm abroad. I don't have time these two days."

Zhou Ge has a cheerful personality:

"Okay, dear, then I'll sleep for two more days to make up for the lack of sleep."

Li Zhuo quietly booked a plane ticket to Yangcheng at the fastest speed...

Two days later, Zheng Heng called Li Zhuo:

"Brother Zhuo, there is a collector who has taken a fancy to this item. The price is only 740 million yuan.

I am not very satisfied. If you fully estimate the value of cultural relics, there must be more than that. If you can wait, I will take care of it and send the things to Hong Kong Guardian Auction House for auction. The transaction price is unlikely to be lower than eight figures. "

The auction is very good, but the problem is that from receiving the goods, to publicizing, to the auction, it takes three or four months to get it right.

How could Li Zhuo have that time, how many times he has completed the missions with this time.

So he said:

"No, let's sell it at this price. We don't need to make all the money. The faster the capital flow, the better."

Zheng Heng promised and hung up the phone.
