At the treasure appraisal event, they were said to be the National Treasure Gang.

The popularity of this kind of thing is similar to that of Internet celebrity Tiger Brother shouting "I am a Sabi" in the crowd.

It will quickly attract everyone’s attention.

Especially those uncles and aunts who are making short videos:

"Jimei friends/family, at the Yangcheng treasure appraisal event, the National Treasure Gang suddenly appeared!"

"it's him……"

Fortunately, Baoyou is the victim this time, so some people still sympathize with him.

In Zhang Yang's live broadcast room, someone paid money to post voice barrages, hoping to identify that treasure friend first.

If the National Treasure Gang is not the best, even if it is, it can save him from torture.

Baoyou, who was at the front of the queue and was about to take something out, heard this voice barrage.

He immediately decided to change places with the "stigmatized" brother.

"Teacher, you take a look at his first, and I'll line up."

"Okay, you're such a nice person. I'll help you take a closer look later."

Zhang Yang gave this kind brother a thumbs up.

Soon, the treasure friend who was framed by the uncle walked up with his face covered and a bronze statue in his arms.

The thing is placed on the table, slightly higher than the pen holder, about twenty centimeters high.

The main body of the statue is a female antelope with long horns, standing on the ground with her head held high.

Under it, two lambs were suckling.

The style of painting here is pretty normal.

The strange thing is that on the back of the female antelope, a bronze pillar grew out, twisting upward into a circle.

At first glance, it looks like an antelope carrying a basket on its back.

With such a strange shape, no wonder it is regarded as a national treasure.

[How come even the antelope is a little black kid?]

[At first glance, it looks like an imitation. Have you never heard of a lamb kneeling to breastfeed? There is no standing one.]

[A veteran bronze player of twenty years tells everyone that this is the real thing, from the Western Zhou Dynasty]

[When you say twenty years, are you sentenced to twenty years?]

"I took this photo from abroad and it cost 300,000 yuan." Baoyou introduced.

"What did the auction house say?"

"It's a small auction house, and they said it was a bronze ware unearthed locally." Baoyou explained.

"When I went through customs, this thing was identified as a modern handicraft, but I think there should be no handicrafts in that place!"

which place? Türkiye.

"It's impossible to say for sure. There are quite a few imitations being exported and sold domestically."

"But the style like yours is completely unprecedented. It's rare."

Fraud usually has a basis.

For example, if the national treasure is a jade as big as a palm, I will make one as big as a plate to make you bigger!

For another example, the national treasure is the Four-Yang Fang Zun. I will crush it to death with the Five-Yang Fang Zun!

But it is purely fabricated. To be honest, it is a bit confusing for the counterfeiter and is not very common.

Zhang Yang took the thing in his hand and looked at it carefully.

There is nothing wrong with the green embroidery alone, it looks like a pit in a grassland area.

Moreover, it is a mature pit and has been passed down for a long time, because many places where there should be rust have been replaced by patina.

The statue itself is also cast using the lost wax method, which is in keeping with the characteristics of something old.

"Name: Bronze Antelope Container Rack"

"Production date: 2101 BC"

"Detailed information: An antelope statue from the Bronze Age in West Asia, used as a holder for some kind of container (possibly a wine glass), witnessing the glory of the ancient civilization of the Bronze Age and the grasslands of West Asia."

A bronze statue from the same period as Dayu's flood control?

That really can only be the ancient civilizations of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Fertile Crescent (Mesopotamia).

"Friend Bao, how did you bring this thing out of Turkey?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

As far as he knows, the cultural relics protection law in Turkey was promulgated earlier than in China.

They have also suffered the plundering of cultural relics by the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and have attached great importance to the protection of cultural relics in recent years.

Baoyou blinked at this question, and finally said to Zhang Yang:

"Teacher, you understand."

"Do I understand?" Zhang Yang asked.

I saw Baoyou using two fingers to make a two-legged "walking" motion on the table.

Punishment!

"Oh, I understand." Zhang Yang nodded.

"The stuff is correct, no problem. This is an artifact from the Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Civilization."

"But there is no market for such a treasure in China. You have to take it overseas for auction."

"It's okay." Baoyou smiled: "As long as it's true."

"Anyway, when passing the customs, they will regard it as a handicraft."

There's nothing wrong with what he said.

Zhang Yang watched the live broadcast room and borrowed the words of the barrage to tell Baoyou:

"Now you can go out with your head held high. People who take real things still need to have this confidence."

"No, no, no, it's better to keep a low profile."

Baoyou lowered his head, picked up the statue, half covered his face, and said with a smile:

"I'm afraid that someone will report me. If the things are locked up, I will suffer a big loss."

"It's okay, as long as no one is imprisoned." Zhang Yang said with relief.

After sending away the bronze ware, the next person who appraised the treasure was an elderly lady.

Beside her, a middle-aged woman who looked like her daughter, stayed with her intimately.

The baby was placed in a handbag, wrapped in a red plastic bag and scrap newspapers, and wrapped quite tightly.

Zhang Yang helped, but it took a lot of effort to open it.

It was wrapped in a black lacquered wooden box about the same size as a glasses case.

The white pattern on the lid of the box depicts the story of "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage".

The old lady said that this was the dowry given to her by her family when she got married, and she used it as a jewelry box.

Now my family is in urgent need of money and wants to sell things.

When it came to selling things, the old man's daughter was a little embarrassed and muttered that she had to sell off the property because she was incapable.

The old man was very tolerant and comforted his daughter, saying that these things were originally reserved for emergency use.

She also smiled and introduced to Zhang Yang:

"Expert teacher, you don't know that this thing is the worst thing among my dowry items!"

"Really? I don't believe it!" Zhang Yang carefully observed the black lacquered wooden box and replied with a smile: "This thing of yours is worth at least 400,000 yuan now!"

"I really don't believe it could contain anything more valuable."

"Four hundred thousand?!" The daughter cried out in surprise.

The old lady's reaction was not bad, and she asked Zhang Yang:

“How many gold bars can four hundred thousand buy?”

"At the current price...seven 100-gram gold bars."

"Seven pieces?" After hearing this, the old lady muttered: "If it's seven pieces, then the jewelry I put in it is really not as valuable as the box."

"Expert teacher, are you sure you read it correctly?"

"Of course not." Zhang Yang replied confidently.

He handed the magnifying glass to the old lady and her daughter and asked them to look at the pattern on the box.

"You haven't thought about it before, what is this black painted box with this white painting on it?"

"White paint!" the daughter replied without thinking.

"Haha, look what's written on this pillar."

Zhang Yang smiled and pointed to the pattern on the lid of the box.

There is a pavilion above, and on the pillars of the pavilion, there are four small characters written: [Jiajing Dingyou].

Jiajing Dingyou year, that is, 1537.

This is a black lacquered wooden box inlaid with mother-of-pearl made in the 16th year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty.

"There was no white paint in the Ming Dynasty. Even this kind of black paint was made by adding black toner to natural paint."

"So you can see that the box is a little reddish, which is the original color of natural paint."

"Then what is this white thing?"

The treasure holders who were lining up at the back came to watch the excitement and took the initiative to ask Zhang Yang.

"shell."

"The craftsmanship of inlaying mother-of-pearl is used." Zhang Yang explained.

"The reflective side of the white clam shell is made into thin slices, carved into exquisite patterns, inlaid into a wooden box, and then polished."

For Baoyou, the base price cannot be lowered due to the craftsmanship.

What really makes it reach the height of 400,000 are the four little words above.

Although I don’t know what the mentality of the craftsman who carved this thing was when he carved the year on it, but to the mother and daughter in front of them, the craftsman was a good person.

These four words, conservatively estimate, have added at least 200,000 yuan in value.

"Teacher, can this item of ours be put up for auction at your event?"

Baoyou's daughter took the initiative to make such a request, and of course Zhang Yang agreed.

"No problem. The starting price is set at 400,000 yuan. It will definitely not fail."

[Is the anchor so confident? 】

[If you know the price of mother-of-pearl furniture in the Ming Dynasty, you will know that 400,000 yuan is not expensive]

[This is an auction held in Yangcheng, where furniture collections are already popular]

The idea of ​​barrage is similar to what Zhang Yang was thinking.

The wood products collection market in Guangdong Province may be one of the best places in the country. This is the regional culture here.

Zhang Yang also suggested to a treasure friend who used the bellows of huanghuali for appraisal before that he put it up for auction.

The actual transaction price was definitely much higher than the market price he sold it for.

Of course, Zhang Yang's work was not in vain.

As the auctioneer, the auction house will charge the buyer a commission of 5% of the transaction price.

1.5% of it will fall into Zhang Yang's own pocket.

At the auction in Linhai, he split a small million in commission alone.

But this time in Yangcheng, money doesn't seem to be so easy to make.

It's not that there's a problem with the auction, it's that someone actually came to poach him.

At the end of the day's auction, the daughter of the old lady who was appraising the jewelry box blocked Zhang Yang outside the main venue.

She wanted to go back on her word and cancel the auction consignment that she had just signed and was still hot.

"I'm just a part-time worker. I don't care about this. You can consult the auction agency."

"You should just pay a small amount of liquidated damages." Zhang Yang told the other party.

"But..." The middle-aged woman hesitated, unable to say what she wanted to say for a long time.

Zhang Yang understood what she meant, but she just didn't want to pay the money and wanted to see if Zhang Yang could help.

But, there is a contract.

In the end, she took the initiative to tell Zhang Yang that it was because a "treasure detective" came to her and promised to get a higher price.

I hope she will entrust the things and send them to Christie's in Xiangjiang for auction.

"They are a major international auction house, and the buyers are relatively wealthy..."

Zhang Yang only listened to half of what the middle-aged woman said.

Christie’s treasure hunter? He should be the auction collector!

Zhang Yang had seen the treatment of Poly's auction collectors online: a basic salary of 5,000 + 30% contract commission.

It is said that the annual salary can reach 500,000.

I don’t object to you earning half a million, but don’t delay my activities!

"Give me the detective's phone number. I want to talk to him."

"You entrusted me not to rush in advance. What if something changes? I'll explore the path first."

"Teacher, didn't you say that you work part-time?"

"Yes, I work for myself." Zhang Yang replied with a smile.

Thanks to the skin of the skin for the 100-coin reward for Wujiapi, Sir Sir, and dorunrun! thank you all!
