Chapter 541: A Group of Eight Hundred Thousand

Boss Ma said before that the antique shop is temporarily closed for half a day today, especially for receiving VIPs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Jiang Aihua is also going to join in the fun, so if you want to follow it, one big and one small, two beauties will also be brought.

said that there are ancient bronzes, Jiang Aihua is now an antique lover, and it is good to open his eyes.

The antiques of the capital are the best in the world, but this bronze on the market is not as good as Xiangjiang, because it is legal to buy and sell this historical treasure of China here.

Where there are interests, there is a market, and no one can stop it!

"There are all kinds of antiques on the market in Xiangjiang, and now Qing Dynasty porcelain is not very popular, and the most are ancient bronzes and calligraphy and paintings.

In particular, there are many bronzes that have been returned from abroad, and more are newly unearthed objects smuggled to Xiangjiang. ”

The four of them sat in an extended Rolls-Royce, Jiang Aihua sat next to Zhang Nan, and the two women sat opposite each other.

Hearing this, Jiang Aihua complained: "It's all fucking tomb robbing, and many ordinary people in the Central Plains and Western Qin are making a fortune from this, and they can't manage it."

By the way, Brother Nan, how can they smuggle?"

He had never been exposed to smuggling and did not know about it.

"Boat, container entrainment, the stupidest way is that you can walk two steps from Zhongying Street to Xiangjiang, small things can be brought over casually, if there are people with joints, it is more convenient......"

Pengcheng to Zhongying Street has to get a pass, but it's just a pass. This strange little street has been deserted for a special time, and now it is very prosperous, and there are many people who go there every day to walk two steps to shop in the New Territories.

If you are caught, you will be fined some money, and the police on both sides are actually turning a blind eye, and when you go to such a place, you will spend a few dollars only to apply for a license and not be inspected, and there will be less smuggling?

"What about a security check?"

Zhang Nan listened to Jiang Aihua's words, shook his head and said: "It's useless, most of the smugglers go in large quantities, and the guerrillas who pass through Zhongying Street are the most that play with small objects, and you can't find the predators, unless you can use the Berlin Wall to enclose the Xiangjiang River like East Germany." ”

This is obviously unrealistic, and the topic is put here for the time being, antiques have arrived.

Boss Ma greeted him at the door of the store, and there was also a owner surnamed Yang inside.

There are three things, two belong to this 50-year-old antique collector surnamed Yang, and the owner of the other is also an old friend of Boss Ma, but in the UK, the things were sent directly to Boss Ma's store by his family.

Both seem to be planning to emigrate, hoping to sell for a good price, and the price that will be abroad seems to be better than disposing of in Xiangjiang.

And although it is legal to buy and sell bronzes in Xiangjiang, the two pieces at hand are not from the right way, and if they are auctioned, this surnamed Yang is still a little worried that someone will trouble him.

Then deal with it privately.

Shopping, just a polite sentence, and it is the right thing to go directly to the big meal.

The two utensils brought by the owner surnamed Yang were packed in two wooden boxes that were quite exquisite, and they were opened to see the goods directly.

Zhang Nan didn't look at it for long, and said directly: "What is the price of this group?"

It's very simple: two bronzes, the first is a Fang Yi, it is possible that it is from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the casting process is much more exquisite than the Shang Dynasty Yi that I bought a few days ago.

The width of the mouth is about 20 cm, and the height is nearly 30 cm, and the whole device is very heavy.

Most of the surface of the artifact has been black and oxidized, but there is still a part of the side that retains the original yellow metallic luster of bronze, which is probably completely isolated from water and oxygen when buried underground.

This square Yi is close to the rectangular body as a whole, with a square lip of the mouth, a slight bundle of neck, an external bulge of the abdomen, a circle of feet and an outward skimming, and a folded edge under it, covering it in the shape of a four-roof.

The top of the cover is placed in the middle of the roof-shaped button, the cover, the device, the four corners of the circle foot and the ridge of the cover are provided with the ridge, the cover surface and the cover button are decorated with a large gluttonous pattern, the circle foot is decorated with the nose pattern of the first volume, and the whole body is filled with fine thunder patterns.

Beautiful, very pretty!

More importantly, the inner wall of the Yi cover and the inner bottom of the vessel are cast with 2 lines of 7 characters: β– β– Cha (as ) Zongbao β–  Yi.

"β– " is a word that Zhang Nan doesn't know, no way, even if he learns the mastery of the agricultural curator, there are still a lot of golden texts that he can't recognize.

The big copper plate a few days ago was because I knew that thing "before", and I had also seen the inscription rubbing, and I recognized it all after comparing it in my heart.

The one taken out of the other box was a Fang Zun, with an opening diameter of about 25 centimeters and a height of 40 centimeters.

This statue is a square round flare, commonly known as the "heaven round place" style.

The neck is long, the abdomen and the ring foot are square, the abdomen is slightly bulging, the circle foot is outwardly skimmed, there is a week of folds under it, the four corners are decorated with ridges, and the upper fold is extended out of the mouth.

The mouth edge is decorated with banana leaf pattern, filled with inverted curly nose pattern, abdomen is decorated with a large gluttonous pattern, and the horns of the double beast are relatively involuted upward, like a cirrus cloud.

Circle foot decorated with curly nose pattern, two by two, the main body decoration is filled with thunder pattern all around, the whole device is dignified and noble, the ornament is rich and magnificent, exquisite and abnormal.

The inner bottom of Fang Zun is also cast with an inscription of 2 lines and 7 characters: this Fang Zun and that Fang Yi are the same group of utensils at all, and the decoration style and inscription are exactly the same.

This kind of large gluttonous pattern like a cirrus cloud-like animal horn was popular in the early part of the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, about the period of King Mu of Zhou. At this point, Zhang Nan can be sure that this group of Fang Zun and Fang Yi are well-cast and beautifully decorated, and they are rare works of art!

When the owner of the goods surnamed Yang heard this, he said: "Mr. Zhang, this is a group of artifacts from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Since it was Mr. Ma introduced, a group of 800,000 US dollars. ”

The heart is not black, and it is not the price of cabbage.

said that it would be settled in US dollars, and when Zhang Nan heard the price, he said, "Randy, pay." ”

A lockbox was opened, and there were ten bundles of dollars in cash inside, and after taking out two bundles and putting them aside, he brought money to the other party with the box.

This Mr. Yang was also refreshed, so he looked at the seal of Citibank, opened it, and said goodbye with the box.

The deal has been made, there is no need to stay here any longer.

The middleman's commission will naturally be sent next time, and Boss Ma still has business to discuss, so he will no longer be an eyesore here.

Here, Randy and Lin Man want to put away the two antiques, and Zhang Nan is not in a hurry to continue to talk about business.

Because Charlize Theron and Jiang Aihua are a bit like curious babies, they come up to see these two objects.

And Weng Qianhui whispered in Zhang Nan's ear: "It's so expensive here, there are three Zun Ye Ming, who is about the same as the high one, and each one is only one or two thousand." ”

Zhang Nan said "" in his heart!

Take back the previous words that "the bronzes on the surface of Beijing are not as good as Xiangjiang", this is really a death for the bold and starving for the timid!

But think about the big copper plate I bought in Shanghai the year before last, which is only 20,000 yuan, it can be seen that although the profits of the antique smuggling business will be divided into many ways, it is definitely a huge profit among the huge profits!

But it's not appropriate to talk about it now, Zhang Nan said to her: "Let's talk about it when I go back." ”

Boss Ma didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on customers' whispers, and was in front of him as a narrator for the curious baby Little Charlie: Xiao Nizi asked what this statue was for.
