Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 738
Chapter 740
What attracted Xiao Ran’s attention was a three-legged standing ear bronze ding placed on the museum’s shelf.
This bronze ding is very small, only slightly larger and more limited than the palm of an adult man, but it is beautifully made, and it is of extraordinary origin at first glance.
On this small bronze ding, it is covered with bronze patina, covering most of the inside and outside of the ding, and there are some traces similar to blood stains in some parts.
Obviously, this is a treasure that has just been unearthed, and you can vaguely smell an earthy smell.
In the few exposed Ding, you can see a lot of exquisite gluttonous patterns and back lines, which should be all over the body.
There are also two tiger heads on either side of Xiaoding, each with a small ring.
The two ears are round and natural, and there seems to be a bit of leisure in the solemnity.
The only pity is that in the place where Xiaoding was exposed, there was no inscription.
And in those places covered with bronze patina, whether there are inscriptions is unknown for the time being.
If there is an inscription, it can prove the age and origin of this Xiaoding, which is bound to greatly increase the value of this Xiaoding.
If the inscription can be linked to some famous historical events, this bronze Xiaoding may be classified as a national treasure!
Of course, there is a reason why Xiao Ran is sure that this Xiaoding is a trap set by Yamamoto Katsuyoshi and other scum for himself.
The reason is simple!
Among the antiques unearthed in Shaanxi and smuggled into Japan happened to be a bronze ding of similar size and shape.
And the age of the two bronze Xiaoding is also very close, one is the early Warring States period, and the other is the middle Warring States period!
The difference is that the bronze Xiaoding was unearthed more than half a year ago and came from the early Warring States period.
The bronze small ding in front of me was unearthed six or seven years ago, from the middle of the Warring States period, and the earthy smell was slightly lighter.
The antique artifacts smuggled into Japan, including the bronze Xiaoding from the early Warring States period, were smuggled abroad as soon as they were unearthed, and finally smuggled into Japan.
At that time, Xiao Ran was looking for treasures everywhere in the United States, and it was impossible to see those smuggled antique cultural relics, let alone get used in real things.
Because of this, these scum of the Yamaguchi Group found such a highly similar bronze Xiaoding to test his intentions!
If he came for that batch of smuggled antique cultural relics, he should have heard of that bronze Xiaoding from the early Warring States period.
When he sees this Xiaoding in front of him, he is likely to dig into the bottom of the matter, thus revealing flaws and revealing his true intentions for coming to Japan this time.
When Xiao Ran looked at this bronze little ding, Yamamoto Katsuyoshi, Morita and the others all glared at him with round eyes and stared closely at his every move!
Unfortunately, Xiao Ran was wearing a mask, and they couldn’t see much change in expression at all.
Due to the position he was standing on, his eyes were perfectly covered.
After admiring it seriously for a moment, Xiao Ran took out a pair of white gloves and put them on his hands.
Immediately afterwards, he reached out and picked up the bronze small ding, turning it over and over to carefully observe it.
With his action, Yamamoto Katsuyoshi, Morita and the others suddenly became more nervous.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
“Boss Yamamoto, please introduce the situation of this
bronze Xiaoding” “This treasure looks a little interesting, maybe it is a surprise discovery”
With his words, Qian Gu Zhenmei and the others all looked over and looked at the bronze Xiaoding.
Yamamoto Katsuyoshi paused, and then nodded in response.
“Yes, Mr. Sean, I’m more than happy to serve you,”
he said, and he walked over this way.
Qian Gu Zhenmei and the others glanced at each other and walked towards this side one after another.
When Yamamoto Katsuyoshi came closer, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and said:
“Let’s talk about the situation of this bronze Xiaoding, Boss Yamamoto, I am more interested and want to know about it!”
Yamamoto Katsuyoshi nodded and then began to introduce the situation.
“Mr. Sean, I only received this bronze ding a few days ago, and I haven’t had time to study it carefully, and I haven’t had time to ask an expert for appraisal
” “The bronze ding sold to me is a young man in his twenties, the location is at the Edo antique market last weekend” “The young man
didn’t say much at that time, maybe he didn’t understand the situation, and left the antique market after the transaction was completed
” “After getting this bronze small ding, I studied it carefully, but I haven’t had time to consult experts and scholars!
“According to my observations, this bronze Xiaoding should come from ancient China, and it has just been unearthed
” “But it specifically comes from which dynasty in China, the value is high, etc., I don’t know very well!”
“Mr. Sean, you are the industry’s top expert in antique art appraisal, you will definitely be able to recognize the origin of this bronze Xiaoding
” “If you can, I hope you can tell us your opinion, I would like to know it”
When saying this, Yamamoto Katsuyoshi kept staring at Xiao Ran’s eyes, wanting to see what kind of reaction he would give.
Morita and the others in the Japanese-style building not far away were also watching his every move.
Without waiting for Xiao Ran to respond, Qian Gu Zhenmei suddenly stepped forward and looked at this bronze Xiaoding with interest.
The next moment, this guy said excitedly:
“Yes, this is indeed an antique relic that has just been unearthed, it doesn’t look like a fake, but a real Chinese bronze
” “If so, when and where was it unearthed?” How did you enter Japan, and did you come in through legal channels?
“Mr. Yamamoto, can you explain these questions?”
Saying that, he looked at Yamamoto Katsuyoshi, and his expression suddenly became serious.
But this is only a superficial article, it is performed for Xiao Ran to see.
Yamamoto Katsuyoshi was stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes at the same time.
Obviously, Qian Gu Zhenmei stepped in sideways, which was somewhat unexpected to him.
But he calmed down in a blink of an eye and gave a plausible explanation.
“Curator Qiangu
, I really can’t answer all these questions you raised” “The rules of buying and selling in the Edo antique market, you must know better than me, I can’t ask the seller the bottom of
it” “That young seller may not be able
to answer these questions” “If you really want to know the answers to these questions, it is possible to answer them only when I find the seller”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran’s eyes couldn’t help but quickly flash a smile.
He could see that these scum of the Kobe Yamaguchi Group were ready to give up this bronze Xiaoding in the middle of the Warring States period in order to test themselves.
I have to say that these scum are really willing to give up!
As for the young seller that Yamamoto Katsuyoshi mentioned, naturally there is no existence.
If the police intervene in the investigation and press tightly, they can launch a subordinate to impersonate at any time.
In this way, the police naturally cannot find anything.
Of course, there is also such a possibility.
There is no problem with the origin of this bronze Xiaoding.
When necessary, the so-called young seller will appear with the relevant supporting documents.
But this possibility is very small, close to nothing!
Hearing Yamamoto Katsuyoshi’s explanation, Qian Gu Mami couldn’t help but be stunned.
As Yamamoto said, he naturally knows the rules of buying and selling in the Oedo antique market.
Like Panjiayuan in Beijing, many transactions cannot be traced afterwards.
The next moment, Qian Gu Zhenmei nodded helplessly.
“Well, we don’t have to dwell on these issues now, let’s look at this bronze Xiaoding itself!”
Saying that, he looked at Xiao Ran.
“Mr. Sean, tell me what you think, what do you think of this bronze little ding?”
Xiao Ran did not immediately give a response, but checked the bronze Xiaoding again.
After looking at it seriously for a moment, he smiled and said:
“According to my observations, the time when this bronze Xiaoding was unearthed should have exceeded five years, but less than ten years
” “Regarding this, it can be seen from the oxidation and slurry of the bronze patina on the body, as well as the color change
of the blood” “As for the age of this bronze Xiaoding, it should be around the middle Warring States period in ancient China, which can be determined from the characteristics of the ornamentation”
“The ornamentation of bronzes in the middle of the Warring States period has the unique characteristics of that era, which is difficult to fake, and it is not difficult to identify
” “Judging from the bronze rust all over the body, the place where this bronze small ding was unearthed should be in southern China, most likely the Yangtze River Basin,……”
Next, Xiao Ran took this bronze small ding and briefly introduced his discovery.
Listening to his introduction, these Japanese people at the scene were all dumbfounded, and their eyes were shocked.
Especially Yamamoto Katsuyoshi, who entered the antique shop halfway, who has heard such a professional analysis and explanation.
While shocked, this guy also understood.
The idea of using this bronze ding to test Xiao Ran’s true intentions has failed.
At this moment, Xiao Ran had finished introducing his views.
Immediately afterwards, his words suddenly changed.
“Boss Yamamoto, may I ask, what is the offer of this bronze Xiaoding?”
“If the offer is suitable, I will consider buying this treasure and collecting it myself
” “Ah!”
Yamamoto Katsuyoshi exclaimed and froze in place.
He never expected such a result.
An antique cultural relic that he used to fish, not only did not catch a fish, but may be bought by the other party.
This bronze dingding can’t be sold now, which may cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Yamamoto Katsuyoshi said in embarrassment:
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Sean, the appraisal work of this bronze Xiaoding has not been completed, and I have not had time to price it
” “So I can’t give a quotation for the time being, so I can’t trade, but I will complete the appraisal work as soon as possible and make a
quotation” “When the quotation is formulated, I will contact you as soon as possible, and then we will talk about this deal, please understand”
Xiao Ran paused, took a deep look at Yamamoto Katsuyoshi, and then smiled and nodded.
“In that case, then I’ll wait a little longer!”
“Before I leave Japan, I hope we can reach this art deal
” “Hai, thank you for your understanding,”
Yamamoto Katsuyoshi replied.
Next, Xiao Ran looked at the bronze Xiaoding again, and then put it back on the museum.
Seeing this scene, Morita and the others who stayed in the Japanese-style building not far away couldn’t help but be stunned.
After a moment, Morita said
, “Isn’t this bastard Sean coming for that batch of smuggled antique artifacts, is it because we think too much?”
“When he looked at this bronze ding, he didn’t show anything abnormal, and he didn’t ask a word about the smuggling of antique cultural relics
” “As far as the current situation is concerned, we may really think too much,”
another gangster said.
At the same time, Turner, who was staring at the surveillance screen, said with disdain:
“These fools of the Yamaguchi group, it’s completely over, and Sean’s guy will definitely not let them go
” “They tried to use this bronze Xiaoding to test Sean, but they didn’t expect that they completely exposed themselves!”
“Sean smashed tens of millions of dollars to track down this batch of smuggled antique cultural relics, how could he let them go”
Before the words fell, Xiao Ran in the surveillance screen had come to a row of knife racks.
He casually picked up a katana from the knife holder and gently pulled it out.
The next moment, he suddenly said in surprise:
“Juyi text! Am I right? ”
