Chapter 194 Joint Acquisition
"Boss, I have investigated the current meteorite market. Haig is not the only one. There is also a businessman named Lewis who is also a big buyer. Do you think?"

"The more the better, the area of ​​this tiankeng should be huge. It's definitely not enough for one person to eat. Let anyone who can be notified. Take some small pieces and send them, first inspect the goods and then negotiate."

Wu Tianyuan leaned on the sofa, drank the good wine from his ranch wine cellar, and said with a satisfied face: "Don't underestimate these dark treasures, even NASA may be interested! After all, they have great scientific research value. Once a new substance is discovered, it will be amazing."

Less than a day after the news spread, Dr. Haig came to Wu Tianyuan in a hurry. After seeing the huge sinkhole, he was very excited.

"Dear Wu, I swear this is the biggest crater I've ever seen in my life, the biggest!"

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said: "Doctor, you are not yet 50 years old, so it's a bit early in this life?"

"No! You don't understand the rarity of meteorites. There are no more than diamonds in the world. Now people haven't realized their true value, and they will definitely regret it in the future!"

Haig obsessively studied a dug-up meteorite, measured parameters with various strange instruments, and finally said excitedly: "Let's talk about business!"

"No problem, both money and antiques can be traded, but I only accept genuine Yuan Dynasty antiques, do you understand Yuan Dynasty?"

Haig laughed loudly and said, "You underestimate me as a doctor! I have a few Yuan Dynasty porcelains that I bought from an auction house in the early years. I just heard that there were meteorites in the paint used by your emperor, so Bought for research."

"Su Ma Liqing?"

Wu Tianyuan's heart moved, don't say this is really possible!Su Ma Li Qing, also known as Su Ni Ma Qing, referred to as "Su Material".The origin of the name is said to come from the transliteration of the Persian "Sulaiman".The origin of this cobalt material is in Quamsa Village, Poska Mountain. The villagers believe that a man named Sulaiman discovered this cobalt material, so they named it after him.Another way of saying is that Su Ni Ma Qing should be Su Ma Li Qing, which is the transliteration of English smalt, which means a kind of blue glass.

Sumaliqing is a low-manganese and high-iron cobalt material. The blue and white color is thick and green, and the color is stable. Because Sumaliqing has high iron content and low manganese content, it presents a sapphire-like bright color when fired at an appropriate temperature. , There will also be silver-black ferric oxide crystal spots, that is, "rust spots", commonly known as "tin light".Most of the blue-and-white porcelains of JDZ in the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty used it to draw flowers and leaves. After Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, it was gradually replaced by Huiqing.

The reason why Yuan blue and white are mysterious and rare now is because of the preciousness of Su Mali Qing, and the blue-purple hair color is also its most attractive part.

"That's easier. The tiankeng is there. You can study it and give me a quotation as soon as possible."

Haig was taken aback, and asked curiously, "You?"

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said, "We can't just negotiate with one family, right? Lewis is also on his way and will arrive tomorrow. This sinkhole is huge, can the doctor take it down alone?"

"This……"

The doctor had a headache for a while. He naturally wanted to take this once-in-a-hundred-year treasure all by himself, but he also knew it was impossible. Neither he nor Lewis had the ability to buy it alone.

"Doctor, although I am not a professional collector of meteorites, I am also an expert in the collection circle. I don't need to explain the value of this sinkhole, right?"

Wu Tianyuan asked Wang Hong to find an expert to evaluate it. The most conservative estimate of this meteorite crater is 5000 million US dollars!The part discovered now alone is no less than [-] million U.S. dollars, which is definitely an astronomical figure.

"Dear Wu, I've heard about your reputation for a long time. How about it, I'll wait for Lewis to come and discuss it together to see if we can make a joint acquisition?"

Haig immediately retreated to the next best thing and proposed a joint acquisition method. The Americans have no so-called face, and they can become partners if they have interests.Lewis is a big businessman with richer funds than him, but Wu Tianyuan also asked for genuine Yuan Dynasty products, and he happened to have a few in his hand, so the two of them should be able to win this huge treasure together.

Wu Tianyuan didn't care, he wasn't interested in meteorites, and he was spending a lot of money recently, so it's good to pay back some money.Lewis rushed to the ranch at night, and the two discussed how to cooperate to acquire the tiankeng overnight.

"Do you have a Yuan blue and white character pot in your hand?"

Wu Tianyuan was a little surprised and said, "There are also red dragon pattern lid jars in the Yuan glaze?"

The number of Yuan blue and white flowers has always been a mystery. Some people say 400 pieces, while others say 300 pieces.As for the Yuan blue-and-white pots with characters and stories painted on them, only fourteen pieces are known to have been handed down.

Guigu descends the mountain, which originally comes from a historical story in "Warring States Policy". downhill.

The ghost valley here refers to a piece of Chinese blue and white porcelain that was sold at auction. On July 2005, 7, in the auction of "Chinese Porcelain and Artwork" held in Jiashide, London, a Yuan blue and white figure jar was sold at a price of 12 million pounds. , equivalent to more than 1400 million yuan, which is the highest price for Chinese porcelain at present.The collector is the famous Ullens, one of the largest art speculators in the West.

The blue-and-white decorations drawn on this pot using imported cobalt materials are divided into four layers. The first layer is neck: decorated with water ripples; the second layer is shoulders: decorated with twining peonies; the third layer is abdomen: decorated with the theme of "Guiguzi descending the mountain" The lower part of the fourth floor: Chenbao is painted inside the deformed lotus petal pattern, commonly known as "eight big yards".

Meng Yuemei wrote "Hate Jinxiang Pavilion", which is now in the possession of Mr. Wang Dingqian in Taiwan.

"The Incense of the Western Chamber" blue and white jar, now hidden in private individuals in Asia.

Yuan blue and white flowers are already rare in the world, and the character pots are even rarer. There are no more than five in private hands, and even Mr. Ge in Tianminlou does not have a single character pot.

"This is my secret collection. You must know how precious it is. There are also blue-and-white jars with red lids in the Yuan Dynasty. There are no more than [-] of them in existence."

Haig felt distressed, this is his most beloved treasure, if he hadn't encountered the biggest opportunity in his life this time, he would never have traded it out.

"No problem, I can feel the sincerity of Mr. Haig, what is your bargaining chip, Mr. Lewis?"

Fatty Lewis hurriedly answered, "I heard that Mr. Wu likes the authentic works of the Yuan Dynasty, so I asked a friend to find two of them overnight. "

"what?"

Wu Tianyuan was even more surprised, a plum vase with blue glaze and white dragon pattern from the Yuan Dynasty!Now there is only one existing in the Nanjing Museum, which was originally thought to be a peerless orphan. Is there another one here?
He calmed down, if they were all authentic, these four pieces alone would be worth at least [-] million US dollars!
"We are willing to add another 5000 million US dollars, and the total value is more than 5000 million. I believe that apart from me and Dr. Haig, no one else can offer such a price."

Lewis and Haig are confident that the four priceless Yuan Dynasty treasures can no longer be measured by money.They have investigated Wu Tianyuan and know that he has a museum and is obsessed with antiques. This condition is absolutely attractive.

"Okay, deal!"
