The camera was turned off, and the mirror was turned off.

Li Ming didn't hesitate and pointed the camera at the bronze mirror on the table.

Seeing the bronze mirror on the table, Liu Quan touched the glasses and put them on, moving closer to the screen.

"Turn it, let me see the back of the mirror."

"Turn it again, let me see the front of the mirror, there are still rust marks on the mirror."

A few minutes later.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the rust comes from the inside, and it is very likely to be an old object buried underground. The mirror surface is silvery white and shiny, which means that the bronze mirror contains a high amount of tin. The most typical mirror of the Tang Dynasty is the high tin content. Looking at its decoration, it is a high relief of auspicious beasts and grapes. Combined, this is a typical Tang Dynasty sea beast grape mirror, which is a good thing. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of ancient bronze mirror manufacturing, and the sea beast grape mirror is the artistic creation of Tang mirrors that pioneered high relief. It is the most collectible bronze mirror in the Tang Dynasty!"

After hearing this, Li Ming immediately asked: "According to what you said, this bronze mirror is a mirror from the Tang Dynasty, is it real?"

"This is not certain. According to the analysis, it is a bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty, but some high-end imitations are also very realistic. Let's do this. Prepare some alcohol cotton pads to clean the rust and red spots on the bronze mirror. Don't cover it during the whole process. I will take a closer look."

Liu Quan was very cautious and directed Li Ming.

Li Ming nodded, and Zhao Jianbo beside him had already found an alcohol cotton pad and handed it to him.

He held the phone in one hand and cleaned the rust on the bronze mirror with the other.

With the alcohol cotton pad, the green rust was quickly wiped away, and it looked much cleaner, but the red spots were difficult to clean, like stubborn stains, firmly attached to it, and could not be cleaned at all.

"The red spots cannot be cleaned."

Li Ming looked up, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Liu Quan, who was half lying, sat up straight without knowing when, and stared at the phone through his glasses: "Take a magnifying glass and have a look."

Li Ming did as he was told.

"Sure enough, under the magnifying glass, the red spots and green rust took root and could be seen to the bottom!"

Liu Quan took a look and said excitedly.

"This is a real authentic product! This thing is not easy to find on the market. Boss Li, where did you get this bronze mirror?"

Hearing this question.

Li Ming and Zhao Jianbo, who was helping next to him, were silent.

The two looked at Su An who was drinking tea.

Su An received the two people's inquiring eyes and swallowed the tea:

"I got this from scrap this morning."

Speaking of this, Su An couldn't help complaining: "The price of scrap copper is a bit high recently. This mirror weighs half a pound. According to the scrap copper price, it was bought for eleven yuan."

Su An didn't hide it.

There was no need for him to hide it. His acquisition process was broadcast live, and everyone could see it. There was no need to hide it.

Liu Quan on the other end of the phone heard Su An's voice and said in doubt: "... I just seemed to hear someone say that it was collected from scrap? And it cost eleven yuan? Haha, this is impossible, how could this thing be collected from scrap..."

He laughed awkwardly a few times, obviously not believing it.

Seeing him like this, Li Ming hesitated and said: "It's true, this bronze mirror belongs to a customer of Lao Zhao, and he spent eleven yuan to collect scrap!"

"Fuck!"

Liu Quan stood up and cursed.

He grabbed his remaining hair and roared in disbelief: "I got it from scraps? I spent 11 yuan? Are you kidding me? How the hell is this possible! This bronze mirror is a sea beast grape mirror from the Tang Dynasty, the most collectible bronze mirror in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a wind bird pattern on the outer area of ​​the back of the bronze mirror. The source of this bronze mirror is either a royal family member or a minister's daughter. Do you know how much such a mirror is worth?!!"

"Based on the size before, this bronze mirror is at least hundreds of thousands!!!"

"You told me that it was collected from scraps for 11 yuan??"

Liu Quan was so excited that he paced back and forth.

Who can believe that he received a mirror worth hundreds of thousands of yuan for a dozen yuan?

Anyway, he absolutely didn't believe it!

Li Ming understood Liu Quan's explanation very well, and he also found it incredible.

As for Zhao Jianbo, he had long been numb.

Instead, he poked Liming and urged him to ask about the specific price of the bronze mirror.

Li Ming quickly came back to his senses and asked directly: "I'm not kidding you. Since this bronze mirror is genuine, based on your experience, what is the market value of this bronze mirror?"

"I need to check the data and see the auction price and purchase price in recent years."

Liu Quan hummed and began to look up the information.

He was busy for a long time.

It took so long that his girlfriend couldn't wait any longer. She put her slender arm on his shoulder and said coquettishly, "Brother Liu, how long will it take?"

"Stop it, I'm doing business."

Liu Quan waved his hand, ignoring his girlfriend, and concentrated on searching for information.

Ten minutes later.

Liu Quan came back with the information he had found: "The sea beast grape mirror of the Tang Dynasty with a diameter of less than 15cm is about 110,000 to 150,000. Your sea beast grape mirror is about 17cm. Generally, the price will double when the diameter is over 15cm. The larger the bronze mirror, the more valuable it is. And there is a phoenix carved on your bronze mirror. The phoenix alone is worth 50,000!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed and said regretfully, "It's a pity that there are several gaps on the edge of your bronze mirror, which has damaged the appearance. The price will also drop by tens of thousands. Overall, the value of this bronze mirror is estimated to be around 280,000."

280,000!

Zhao Jianbo and Li Ming were still envious when they heard the price, even though they were prepared.

Eleven yuan became 280,000 yuan, the profit was simply terrifying!

At this time, Liu Quan's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic. He rubbed his hands and said, "Boss Li, I like this bronze mirror very much. Why don't you sell it to me? I won't charge for the appraisal fee. How about 260,000 yuan for this bronze mirror? You are a collector of ancient and modern coins, and you are not interested in bronze ware. Why don't you sell it to me? I am too lazy to spend energy to find someone to buy it. What do you think?"

Li Ming and Zhao Jianbo frowned slightly.

The price Liu Quan gave was too low!

In theory, everyone is in the same industry and is familiar with the sale of antiques. Bronze ware is not a niche collection and has a large audience. For example, Liu Quan said that it would be sold for 280,000 yuan, but in fact it must be more than that. At least it can be sold for 285,000 yuan. If you really like it, it may even be sold for 290,000 yuan!

But he was only willing to pay 260,000 yuan, which means he wanted to make 20,000 or 30,000 yuan per order!

Too cruel!

Li Ming looked at Su An, who shook his head at him.

"Boss Li, what's your bank card number? I'll transfer the 260,000 yuan to you right away. I'll leave this bronze mirror with you first, and I'll come to get it later..."

The smile on Liu Quan's face became much more genuine. He hugged his girlfriend who was wrapped around him like a snake, and his hands moved back and forth on her towering breasts.

Li Ming apologized, "I'm sorry, Boss Liu, this customer doesn't want to pay. I'll send the appraisal fee directly to your WeChat account. I'm sorry to bother you this time. I'll contact you when I'm free."
