The Book of Appreciation

Augustus observed Wu Di's expression, a smug expression emerged from the corner of his slightly curved mouth, this is what he wanted!

When he first started appraising the manuscripts, he habitually arranged for people to investigate Wu Di. When he linked the name Wu Di with the owners of several magical treasures in the National Treasure Exhibition in the Forbidden City half a year ago, one can imagine the shock in his heart.Immediately, he asked people to collect almost all the information about Wu Di that he could find. After several researches, he already knew what to do.

This is a nouveau riche who doesn't know how to cherish money, but is almost as stingy as Grandet when it comes to Chinese antiques!His explosive and mysterious life experience makes people feel so incredible, but it is precisely because of this mysterious explosion that he lacks some background.Then, working hard to create a momentum should be the best way to deal with him.

Regarding the fact that Wu Di chose to send the manuscript back to Huaxia at the first time, he was not as enraged as outsiders imagined, but instead had a trace of ulterior joy amidst regret.It's a pity because I can't see the baby's true face for the first time, and I'm happy because if that thing falls into the hands of someone in the Barcelona government, he may pay a huge price to have it, or forever Can't get it either.

Instead of meeting Wu Di in Barcelona, ​​he adopted the method of passing the list, which is a targeted strategy.Similarly, he hurried back to London to transform the family's small Pat space into a study to create momentum.You know, there is a huge difference between the accumulation of a large number of antiques and the feeling of displaying them in a suitable environment!

In this exchange, he didn't intend to take advantage of Wu Di, but he didn't know what kind of price he would have to pay to get this almost priceless treasure. A psychological advantage is extremely important.

Seeing the silly expressions of Wu Di and Yan Ju, he felt joy in his heart, this kid was hooked!Like these artifacts?No problem, as long as you hand over the manuscripts honestly, you can take them away. However, the more you like them, the less you can take away. Isn’t this conclusion amazing?

Wu Di looked at the porcelain vase not far away, seemingly passing Augustus's face unintentionally. I have already properly expressed my greed for these treasures. So, I'm sorry, I hope that the next one I will open The list won't surprise you too much.

Yan Ju followed behind Wu Di, reminding himself over and over again, calm down, must be calm!But you put so many treasures in the study so casually, how can you tell me to calm down?

Oh, my God, the lacquer screen with painted characters and stories is actually more complete and exquisite than the first-class cultural relic unearthed from Sima Jinlong's tomb in the Meidu Museum!what is that?Is it a duck-shaped glass note?which dynasty...

Wu Di couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the heavy breathing coming from behind, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Augustus's study room is really an eye-opener! This short few steps seems to have gone through 5000 years in the glorious history of China! Thank you, thank you sincerely , I think it's the best welcome for us."

"Mr. Wu, you are being polite. I remember an old saying in China, it is said that friends come from afar. Is it true? The presence of a few of you really makes me flourish!"

After taking his seat, Wu Di took the computer from the military adviser, opened a pdf document, and pushed the screen in front of Augustus.The baron flipped through the pages one by one, not hiding his joy at all. Shakespeare, who has studied and been obsessed with Shakespeare all his life, finally has the opportunity to own a complete manuscript of him!

Wu Di watched his nose, nose and heart, and sat quietly on the sofa.Neither side has concealed their interest in the other's treasures, but they couldn't hide it in the first place, so the next step is to see whose desire is stronger and harder to suppress.

"Mr. Wu Di, the more precious Chinese cultural relics in my collection are all in the catalog I gave you, and some of them are in this room. I don't know what specific thoughts you have about this exchange? "

Augustus finally finished watching. He withdrew his eyes from the computer screen with deep regret, and glanced at Wu Di who was sitting quietly.

"Hehe, my thoughts are all in this list."

Wu Di smiled and handed over a list, with hundreds of precious antiques densely printed on it!

The baron glanced casually, then put down the list,

"Mr. Wu, as the host, I think I should invite you to visit my treasure room first, and then let's talk about this unpleasant topic, shall we?"

"Thank you, I don't dare to ask you. But I don't think this list will be an unpleasant topic. This is just what we need, and it will not affect our friendship at all, will it? "

The baron nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, regardless of the outcome, this is a pleasant thing."

A group of people got up and followed Augustus towards the door.Passing through the simple and generous garden, several people came to a small study room. Augustus gently pushed on a wall, and a small door opened silently.

"Please wait a moment, I want to make sure that the anti-theft measures are turned off."

He picked up the phone on the wall, said a few words briefly, then stepped aside and said with a smile:

"Okay."

Behind the small door is a downward staircase, which ends in a right-angle bend.

After Wu Di turned this right-angled turn, even though he was fully prepared in his heart, he was still shocked by what he saw in front of him. This, how is this possible!

In front of him was a brightly lit underground hall with a length of nearly 50 meters and a width of at least [-] meters.But even if it is so big, it doesn't feel empty at all, because the space is completely occupied by rows of shelves!

Wu Di's eyes narrowed. That row is porcelain, this row is bronze, and these are small miscellaneous items... In front of his eyes, there are all kinds of exquisite collections, shining coquettishly and charmingly under the lights!

"When this place was first built, it was designed as a warehouse for the army. At its peak, this castle could house more than 2000 soldiers at the same time. Therefore, the design here is also very large, exceeding the area of ​​half the castle!"

The elegant and proud baron glanced at the stunned Yan Ju, and said with a smile:

"You can watch it slowly here, it doesn't matter how long it takes."

Wu Di smiled and nodded, and walked slowly along a row of shelves full of various kinds of porcelain.

Most of this row of porcelain are works from the late Qing Dynasty, and the folk kilns account for the majority, but the variety is very complete, including bottles, statues, bowls, and plates.

Yan Ju looked at everything in front of him, and his heart was full of bitterness. He and his master had been collecting for decades, and all the collections combined could not compare to other people's shelves!And what makes him most unbalanced is that the number of such shelves here is - countless!

"There are a total of 11 ordinary cultural relics in this treasure room, but unfortunately, most of them are works from the late Qing Dynasty. I think there are only 630 pieces that can be classified as high-quality goods. The five hundred pieces given to you are the most essential part of it."

"Are there other options that are not provided?"

Augustus smiled reservedly,

"Of course, I'm willing to exchange the five hundred most precious pieces, so what are these?"

Wu Di nodded silently. Before he saw the treasure house, he thought that their ten plans were enough to represent his choice.However, when he saw this huge treasury that was almost bug-like, an unstoppable thought arose in his heart, should we ask for quality or quantity?

In the eyes of many people, the answer to this question is obvious, on the premise of quality, try to guarantee as much quantity as possible!But the crux of the problem is precisely here.For quality, although most antiques have an open definition, there are still many varieties that are controversial, and there will be a lot of personal preferences.So, how to choose?

After browsing several rows of shelves in a hurry, Wu Di found that they were basically ordinary collections.He checked the time, decided not to delay, and resolutely activated the Heavenly Book.As the torrent of spiritual energy crazily poured in, he raised his head and glanced at the direction, and walked towards the place with the strongest spiritual energy.

Augustus looked at Wu Di in amazement, like an old horse who knew his way, and found the area where the precious cultural relics were placed without any twists and turns.

Five Dynasties Weixian's "Gaoshi Tu" with ink and color on silk, "Xiao Cao Qian Zi Wen" by Huai Su, a famous cursive script writer of the Tang Dynasty, a bronze horse riding on a flying swallow at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a gold-plated silver teapot with a cup pattern of a dancing horse in the Tang Dynasty, and a new The painted pottery basins of the Yangshao Culture in the early Stone Age, the painted pottery basins with pictures of storks, fishes and stone axes, and the multi-mu pots with purple ground, white flowers, twining branches and lotus patterns from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty...

Wu Di seems to have walked into a shop that deals in woolen materials, but most of the woolen materials in this store are glass and ice... There are many things in the museum, but they are all displayed one by one. Can you imagine what kind of shocking feeling these precious treasures will give people when they pile up together?

There is no need to verify the authenticity, you just need to know what it is.Wu Di quickly browsed the collections one by one, the more he looked at the goal, the clearer the goal in his mind, he should not just focus on those recognized fine works, but should have a hierarchy.A few top-level items are enough. It is important to choose more items that are not of high economic value but contain rich historical and cultural information!In this way, not only will the difficulty of the next negotiation be greatly reduced, but he will also be able to obtain greater gains!
