Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 122 Liar and Retarded

Although it was sunny, the sky was foggy, like a layer of frosted glass.

There is a lot of traffic, the flow of people is like weaving, and the air is filled with a faint smell of lead oil.

That's right, just this taste, the characteristics of the capital are gone...

Cullinan led the way, followed by a container truck with the words "Yutian" printed on it, one after the other, driving into the courtyard of the National Expo.

He Anbang's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his fists and palms: "Quick, close the door and unload the goods!"

Immediately, forklifts, loaders, pulley-type gantry frames, and more than a dozen workers with crowbars and ropes swarmed up.

This posture was very similar to the scene of a gang fight on the construction site, Lei Yuzhang and Lei Ming were really dumbfounded.

Li Dingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and jumped out of the car: "Unload the goods as soon as you unload them, why close the door?"

"Nonsense, what if you go back on your word and run away?"

He Anbang sneered, and shook hands with Lei Yuzhang again.

Things worth tens of millions were transported thousands of kilometers away. As the owner of "Yutian Logistics", Lei Yuzhang naturally wanted to come and take a look.

As for Lei Mingzhen, it's purely soy sauce...

After a few words of greeting, the unloading began. From the back to the front, the stone tools were unloaded first.

When he saw the pair of stone drums, let alone Lei Yuzhang and Lei Mingzhen, even He Anbang was stunned.

No wonder when Li Ding'an was asked what he wanted to prepare, Li Ding'an specifically asked that it is best to prepare a few more pieces of lifting equipment.

Just this thing, a bottle must have several tons...

"This thing...is also shipped from Uzbekistan?"

"Of course!" Li Ding'an nodded, "When I saw this thing, I was more shocked than you: I just can't figure out how Zaiyi transported it out back then, and what is the significance of transporting it out?"

He Anbang shook his head: God knows...

The most conspicuous thing is this thing, there are two pairs of stone locks, a few ornaments of Shoushan stone carvings, and the rest are all packed in boxes.The staff unloaded the car one by one, first transported to the bottom of the warehouse shed, then unpacked, sorted, and finally transported to the operation room.

They are all professionals who are often engaged in archaeology, so there is no need for Li Dingan to worry about it. He Anbang greeted him and Lei Yuzhang to the operation room.

While walking, He Anbang pointed to the silver books and ritual vessels on the list: "If you don't ask me on the phone, you can always make a price now, right?"

"If I don't open it, I will go according to the procedures of the National Expo and the Forbidden City, as much as you want... even if you don't give money!"

After a short pause, Li Dingan looked very serious, "But the lease period is at most half a year!"

He Anbang was stunned: "How many exhibitions can be held in half a year, isn't it enough for the librarians to study?"

"Just half a year!"

His attitude was so resolute that He Anbang subconsciously froze.

As the saying goes, wealth is not revealed. For ordinary people, such things must be hidden as tightly as they can be hidden. Let me tell you: I rent a bird?

So, Li Ding'an is pretty good.

Half a year, half a year...

He Anbang nodded: "Then besides jade and silver books, what else do you not plan to sell, I will rent them together!"

"There's no point in keeping it, let's sell it!"

He Anbang suddenly regained his spirits: "Is it really for sale?"

Li Ding settled for a moment, a little suspicious: "They are very common imperial weapons, you should not lack them."

"Of course the National Expo and the Forbidden City are not short of imperial artifacts, but are other museums lacking?" He Anbang took out his mobile phone, "Otherwise, why would I ask you to drag you here? Is it really easy to use as a loader for the National Expo?"

Li Ding'an was startled for a moment, and then remembered: the Ministry is in a meeting, and the main persons in charge of cultural management units and museums in various provinces and cities are all present.Anyway, it was a matter of convenience, so He Anbang helped him sell it along the way...

He sighed: "Thank you!"

"What's the relationship between us?" He Anbang rolled his eyes while making the phone call, "Thank you very much, just extend the lease for another half a year!"

"Forget it!" Li Ding'an waved his hands, which means that being polite to you is superfluous.

He Anbang snorted: "Hypocritical!"

Lei Yuzhang was very envious.

To be honest, he knew quite a few leaders, but none of them put their relationship on such a casual level...

The operating room is very large, with long tables on all sides, and cabinets against the walls, but instead of cultural relics, there are various archaeological tools and optical instruments. At first glance, it is the place where librarians usually study and restore cultural relics.

The boxes were brought in one by one, and the things were taken out one by one, and placed on the long case.

He Anbang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Long, Shaoyang, means spring and refers to the east. It is recorded in the classics: at the time of the spring equinox, it is sacrificed at the altar of Chaori.

Hu, Shaoyin, means autumn and refers to the west. It is recorded in the classics: When the autumnal equinox is unitary, it is sacrificed at the Xiyue Altar.

Huang, Laoyin, means winter, and refers to the north. It is recorded in the classics: the winter solstice, the big sacrifice to the sky in the Circular Mound (Temple of Heaven).

They are all heavy vessels used by the emperor to worship the four directions and the four seasons in the grand ceremony, except for a piece of bi or cong that represents the south.

Coincidentally, both the Forbidden City and the National Museum have Bi and Cong, and there are more than one piece.

But unfortunately, the National Museum just lacks Long, and the Forbidden City happens to lack Huang, but no one is willing to give it to anyone else.

So, it was a coincidence that Li Ding'an's three things happened to be enough for both of them.

Unfortunately, no matter how He Anbang or Lu Benzhi tried to persuade him, Li Ding'an would not let go: not for sale!
So I can only settle for the next best thing, rent it back first, the exhibition, the research...

After looking at the three sacrificial vessels and making sure there was nothing wrong with them, He Anbang looked at the silver book carefully again.It took a full minute before he breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a hint of sneer:
"I told you that Mr. Chen was on the speakerphone when he was talking with you... At that time, when many people heard 'Duanjunwang', they said that [-]% of them were fake, and they reminded Professor Lu and me: don't be fooled...

I'm not a fool, so I still can't hear it: With this unprofessional and irresponsible attitude, return the National Expo and the Forbidden City?Because I didn't see anything at the time, Professor Lu and I didn't say anything...but now, hehe...who dares to say it's fake, I'll slap him in the face..."

What good thing do you think, who will pay for the damage?

Li Ding'an secretly slandered, and nodded again: "It really doesn't conform to the etiquette system!"

Not to mention the silver book of the double seal, including the few ritual vessels.Anyone who knows a bit of history will doubt: Where did XJ get this thing?

Not to mention XJ, except for the capital, no matter where this kind of thing ends up, it's unbelievable...

If you doubt it, doubt it, Li Dingan didn't plan to sell it anyway, no matter who said it was fake, he would say "ah yes yes yes..."

Thinking about it, Li Dingan took a look, picked up a jade tablet, and then turned his head.

Lei Mingzhen was standing beside a pile of feeders, his eyes were dazzled, and he was still thinking: Li Qiang said he was asked to pick one, but what should he pick?

Or the snuff bottle, I heard that the Baqi disciples like this stuff...

Just as he was thinking seriously, he heard Li Ding'an calling him: "Ah Zhen, come here!"

He came over subconsciously: "What's wrong?"

Li Ding'an stuffed the jade card into his hand: "Take it, you have worked hard during this time!"

It was really hard, because the auction was not allowed to shoot, so Li Dingan didn't start the broadcast.

But Lei Mingzhen didn't stop all day, starting the broadcast every day to report to fans what Li Ding'an did, what things were identified, and what treasures he picked up.

So not only are there no fewer fans, but there are many more...

"Admiration", He Anbang opened his eyes: such a thing, Li Ding'an just give it away?
Lei Ming really doesn't know what a good thing is, and he is still a little bit reluctant: "I'm still thinking about picking up a snuff bottle..."

"Don't delay...it's a glass (referring to the snuff bottle), anyway, it's not worth much, so just pick another one if you like..."

Lei Ming bared his teeth with a real smile: "That's a good relationship..."

Before he finished speaking, his father slapped him on the head: "Shameless thing..."

"Why am I shameless?"

"go away……"

In fact, Lei Yuzhang didn't know much about goods, but he knew how to read: from He Anbang's surprised expression, he knew that this jade plaque was definitely not an ordinary item.

He looked at Li Ding'an, then at He Anbang.

"This is the Zigang brand, and it is the 'Qianlong Gong' in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the top grade among the top grades..."

He Anbang sighed, "Did you see that there is a dragon pattern engraved on the bottom, which is clearly a gift from the emperor, and it is even rarer, and it will cost a million and 80..."

Lei Yuzhang took a breath, and was about to decline, but Li Ding'an waved his hand, "Don't listen to He Guan's nonsense, the top grade belongs to the top grade, but it's not uncommon. For example, there are quite a lot in the National Expo and the Forbidden City, and there are tens of hundreds of pieces... But this kind of thing is really rare, because it's not a Ming weapon..."

He Anbang immediately wanted to curse some bad words: I have seen someone who changed the concept secretly, but never seen someone who changed it like this?
Why don't you say that there are many bronze tripods in the National Expo and the Forbidden City...

As soon as I heard "it's not a bright weapon", how can I say no to it: this is something that can be used as a family heirloom.

Lei Yuzhang glared at Lei Mingzhen: "Why are you so silly, you can't even say thank you?"

"Uncle Lei, Ah Zhen and I really don't need to talk about this!"

Li Ding'an smiled, and pointed to two jade cups, one is a double-eared jade cup, and the other is a earless dragon-shaped cup: "The wine vessels given by the emperor are relatively rare, and similarly, they have never been buried in the soil...He Guan and Lei Shu each choose one..."

In an instant, He Anbang's facial features were twisted together, as if he had seen a ghost, and his expression was terrified: "Li Ding'an, did you choose one on purpose? If I really choose, I have to report to the Commission for Discipline Inspection tomorrow..."

This was the case when I gave him Moutai old wine last time. Of course Li Dingan knew what kind of temperament He Anbang was, but he had to show his proper attitude.

He smiled "haha", "I've thought about it, but you don't want it yourself?"

"How far can you take me..."

"Okay..." Li Ding'an smiled, "Then Uncle Lei chooses one?"

It scared He Anbang like this, which shows how precious this thing is, but if you don't want it... how is it possible?

Yuci...has never entered the soil...absolutely once in a hundred years.

Lei Yuzhang hesitated for a long time before pointing to the Jiaowen cup: "How much is this one worth?"

Li Ding'an knew what he wanted to do as soon as he heard it, Li Ding'an smiled and shook his head: "This one is cheaper, about two or three million, but if you want to withdraw the money, then forget it... Last time Ah Zhen accompanied me to buy a house, Uncle Lei's friend had a discount of five or six million. Don't you have to pay back the favor? I still didn't withdraw the money."

He Anbang nodded subconsciously: No wonder Li Ding'an is so arrogant...it really counts, no one loses anyway...

Lei Yuzhang thought for a while, picked up the jade cup: "Then I won't be polite to you!"

Human relationship is like this, it is nothing more than love after love...

Just as the jade cup was put away, there was another commotion outside. Looking back, a dozen people were walking towards this side, among them were Lu Benzhi and Chen Jingshu...

Well, Quan Ying is also here, hasn't she returned to Shanghai?
Seeing Li Ding'an, the woman raised her eyebrows proudly...

The crowd came into the operation room in a confused manner, and He Anbang gave a brief introduction.

When they heard him say, "All the researchers from the National Museum and the Forbidden City admire Mr. Li's appreciation ability", everyone's eyes widened with a "swish".

real or fake?

By the looks of it, he's probably in his early twenties...

Li Dingan just smiled and shook hands.

Then He Anbang said, except for the few pieces that couldn't be sold, if you like something, you can buy it back today, and everyone immediately became interested.

Although there are not many things, they are really interesting things, such as Mongolian porcelain, such as stone drums.

"This is... the Qilin Jade Drum?"

"Correct!"

"Is it true that only Beizi and above are eligible to display this thing at the main entrance?"

"It's so far away that Baylor can only place prison cattle, Beizi can only place negative animals, and county kings and princes can only use unicorns."

"But it's too big, right? How did it get to Uzbekistan?"

"I don't know, but it looks real anyway... Do you see the five-clawed dragon pattern at the bottom? Is the dragon's head skewed? This is called the Xinglong pattern, which specifically represents the county king. If the dragon's head is straight, it represents the prince..."

"How much is that worth?"

"It's hard to say... If you meet a rich man who builds a house or repairs an ancestral house, it's easy to spend 200 million..."

Li Ding'an nodded secretly: Professionals are professional, so there is no need for him to waste his words.

At the same time, Lei Yuzhang's eyes lit up: Why do we have to wait until the ancestral house is renovated, why can't we just buy it back and put it away?

He's going to decide on this...

A group of people commented on the stone drum, and Lu Benzhi came to Li Ding'an again.He looked at the three sacrificial vessels and the silver book first, and he was about [-]% sure about it.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't think too much, Ding'an... I invited Professor Wu and a professor of Qing history from Peking University to come over and take a look. They should be there soon..."

How could Li Ding'an think too much?
Although the National Museum and the Forbidden City are only leased, these items will be exhibited and shown on TV, and will be made into related documentaries for archives, and may even be spread overseas.

If something goes wrong, it will definitely be an international joke, so no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too careful...

"Professor Lu, I understand!"

After replying, he nodded towards Chen Jingshu again.

Similarly, Chen Jingshu smiled and nodded slightly.

Neither of them is unnatural, after all, it has been many days...

Then, he looked at Quanying again: "Why are you in the capital again?"

"Of course to take what you promised me?"

"Figured out?"

"Nonsense... Jing Shu said: If I don't come again, I guess I won't have to pick a jade cup... So, I will now..."

"what ever!"

Li Dingan pointed to the case.

Quan Ying took a pleasing glance: one of the wine glasses was missing, but there were a few pieces of unpacked styrofoam lying beside it, and it seemed that someone had just taken it away.

Chen Jingshu was right, if she didn't come today, she wouldn't even have a jade cup...

Thinking to herself, she encountered another difficulty: they all look good, so which one is the right one to choose.

Quan Ying thought for a while: "Which one is cheaper?"

"This!" Li Ding'an pointed to the double-eared jade cup, "Friendship price, 300 million?"

There happened to be a few onlookers nearby, all of whom stared wide-eyed: 300 million?

Or a friendly price?
But what made them even more unbelievable was that Quan Ying actually nodded, implying that this was indeed a friendship price.

She pointed to the other one, which was the single-eared jade tree: "What about this one?"

"This one is a little more expensive!" Li Ding'an thought for a while, "If you want, um, 600 million..."

Quan Ying raised her head, blinking her eyes flickeringly: Is this a little more expensive?
Just double it, okay?

But for Li Dingan's character and professional ability, she is still very convinced, saying that it is worth so much, there must be a reason why it is worth so much.

Just as he was about to ask, a middle-aged man in his 40s took a breath next to him: "What kind of thing is worth 600 million?"

While talking, he leaned over again, first he was taken aback, then stared at Yuzhuzai several times carefully, finally, he looked at Li Ding'an, then at Quan Ying, then at Li Ding'an, then at Quan Ying.

That look is very similar to looking at liars and mentally retarded: a jade cup, even if it was used by the emperor, it cannot be worth so much...
