Chapter 573 Wrong Gold, Wrong Gold

20, it doesn't sound like the total price is too high, and it's not too conspicuous among the things Yu Yao picked up.However, from 20 to [-], that is a hundredfold difference.

Lao Zhou is more professional than Pu Jie in this area, so he immediately recognized it; Pu Jie also knew Domi Lamper, but he had very little contact with him, and he had never seen such a top quality.

It can be said that Dominican blue amber is currently the most expensive kind of amber beeswax.

The aforementioned amber was known as the holy amber in ancient China.And Dominican blue amber, known as the king of amber in modern times!

In addition to the special texture and color factors, the extremely low output is also an important reason for the preciousness of Dominican blue amber.

The total annual output of Dominican amber is only about [-] kilograms—moreover, half of it is unprocessable fragments or waste with many impurities; the remaining about [-] kilograms, and half of it is second-grade products with poor quality.

In other words, high-quality blue amber can produce about [-] kilograms a year.And there must be fewer and fewer mineral sources that can be found.

And these two beads of excellent color in Yu Yao's hand are the best of high-quality blue pearls.The price of this kind of material is more than [-] grams, which is recognized by the international market.Different finished products will increase the price accordingly.

Shocked, Pu Jie couldn't help asking, "How could the Dominican blue amber rough be accepted together with European Russian and black materials?"

"Didn't you hear what he said? This rough stone has been played with." Lao Zhou answered first, "As far as I know, in the early years, many Europeans went to Donemiga to receive goods and took away a lot of raw materials. , and most of them are high-quality goods. This rough stone was probably received in Europe before. I just don’t know why it was mixed into the new minerals in Europe.”

"Because the outflow of high-quality blue amber was serious, Dominica then strictly restricted the export of blue amber." Yu Yao nodded, "There are fewer and fewer Dominican blue amber on the market, and the price is skyrocketing."

"I remember that a few years ago, it was about [-] per gram, and this year's market price is no less than [-]." Lao Zhou said with emotion.

Pu Jie smacked his lips, "Just now you were lining the black background and facing the sun, the visual impact is quite strong. It feels like looking up at the blue sky and looking down at the deep sea, and there seems to be fluorescent illusion, um, ethereal, mysterious, Distinctive."

"Hey!" Old Zhou Zhou pointed at Pu Jie, "You can spell words quite well!"

"Good things are like this. There is a reason why they are expensive." Yu Yao said, "Look, the mining volume of Domi Lanpo is much smaller than that of diamonds."

"Among gems, I don't like diamonds the least." Lao Zhou waved his hand, "I always think that the value of diamonds is a concept of hype."

"No matter what kind of gemstone or jade, it is a luxury, not a necessity. People who like it will spend that money to buy it; if they don't like it, it is nothing more than a stone. Of course, the function of storing and increasing value does exist, but if you only talk about As the stored value rises, there will be more alternatives, just like buying a house or land.”

Yu Yao said and raised his hand, "Let's go, let's delay some time, and go shopping in another street."

The three of them went to another street, which was indeed mostly antiques, and there were small shops on one side, and a lot of stalls on the other side against a wall.

Not long after turning to this street, Yu Yao found a bronze and gold flat pot at a stall.

The height of this pot is 25 centimeters, and the width is about the same. Since it is a flat pot, the thickness is naturally not that big, about seven or eight centimeters.The body of the pot is decorated with square grids, and there are panchi patterns in the grids, and there are auxiliary heads and ears on the shoulders.

This is a classic shape of the Warring States Period.

The Central Plains area is the main area where bronzes were unearthed; even the "concentration camp" of high imitation bronzes is located in a village in Luozhou, Central Plains.

However, today's bronze trading is subject to many restrictions, and most things are prohibited from trading.

Most of the bronze ware transactions came from behind the scenes, let alone such a grandiose display on the stall.Therefore, if you see the bronze wares of the last three generations displayed in the antique market, they are basically high imitation handicrafts.

But this bronze and gold ewer, Yu Yao glanced at it twice, but felt like that.

I leaned forward and bent over to take a closer look. The rust color is red and green, the copper is old, and the gold is also very particular.

In this stall, most of them are bronze wares, but in Yu Yao's eyes, the others are basically high-quality imitations. This wrong gold flat pot stands out from the crowd, so it immediately attracted Yu Yao's attention.

The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with fair skin and neatly combed hair. Seeing Yu Yao staring at the flat pot, he asked, "Friend, do you like this pot?"

Yu Yao nodded slightly, took out a cigarette immediately, and handed one to the stall owner.

"No." The stall owner waved his hand, "This pot can be admired, but it is not for sale."

Yu Yao couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and immediately lit up the cigarette, "Then if you put it out, there might be side effects."

"reaction?"

"Since you don't sell it, you put it on display, isn't it just to attract customers?" Yu Yao said with a smile, "But the other things on your stall pale in comparison."

The stall owner couldn't help laughing, "Attracting customers? I have some ideas. But, I mainly want this pot to attract some popularity."

"Ah?" Yu Yao thought to himself, this statement is really fresh, could it be that this is a pot spirit?Still attracting popularity?

"It's just an analogy. It's not good to keep locked in a safe forever." The stall owner explained simply.

Yu Yao didn't ask any more questions, but thought, since this pot is displayed in such a grand manner, it must have come from a very righteous way!However, since it is not for sale, there is nothing to talk about, "Okay, then you are busy, I will go around."

But the stall owner said, "My brother likes bronzes?"

"Just take a look when you see something suitable."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner raised his hand and pointed across the street, "That's my shop, why don't you go sit and look at something?"

Yu Yao turned his head and saw that the shop across the street had a plaque with "Mingjin Pavilion".The stall owner had a gentle manner, which gave Yu Yao a good impression, so he nodded, "Okay, just looking at a few things is fine."

Pu Jie and Lao Zhou were looking at the stalls next to them at this moment, but when Yu Yao said that they didn't follow, they said that it would be fine to have a look first separately.

The stall owner put the flask into a wooden box, took it away and said to Yu Yao, "Let's go!"

"You don't care about the stall?"

"Hey! There's nothing serious about it, and besides, I'll let the guy over when I get back to the store."

The two entered Mingjin Pavilion, and the stall owner asked a young man from the shop to support the stall.There was another guy in the store, "This is my nephew." The stall owner introduced, and then ordered the guy to pour tea.

Yu Yao sat down, and the stall owner smiled, "My name is Zhang Yiming, what's my name?"

"My surname is Yu."

"Mr. Yu wait a moment." Zhang Yiming said, and went to get things.

Zhang Yiming brought three boxes, one wooden box and two brocade boxes.The wooden box was the smallest, so he opened it first.

Yu Yao saw that it was actually another piece of bronze mixed with gold.
