The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

How did this palace bowl come from the United States? Only God knows this question: this bowl can be bought in the early 1930s for only 30 oceans, or at the price of the antique shop in Beijing, which was not cared about for 20 or 30 years. ——What does this show?

"...For more than 20 years, no one wants to be on the shelves of the famous antique shop at home, indicating that it was not a particularly rare object at that time. 30 oceans were not a huge sum of money for antiques in the 1930s. .

Lu Xun and Li Dazhao both received a monthly salary of 300 yuan during the warlord period. At that time, the salary of a general public elementary school teacher in the capital was about 25 yuan per month. The purchasing power of each silver dollar was actually the true value of silver, without the halo of purchases.

Anyone can buy it, maybe it was an American who bought it for fun, or maybe it was a cultural relic dealer who sold it here. "

The purchasing power of a piece of Ocean in 31 years, the most intuitive comparison, in Zhang Nan's previous life in 2016, it was probably more than one hundred yuan.

According to different varieties and wear, a piece of ocean weighs between 6 grams and 1 gram, and the price of silver in 2016 is about 4 yuan per gram. Ignoring the silver content between 88% and 90% of the silver dollar of various varieties under normal circumstances, this weight of silver will be 100 yuan after 26 years.

The silver dollar in the 21st century is a collector’s item, not a simple question of the price of silver: Why did the silver dollar price rise to 450 in 2011 when the silver dollar was on a rocket?

At that time, the international silver price was over RMB 12 per gram5!

Mexican Eagle Ocean contains more silver than Yuan Datou and Long Yang, and it’s no problem if it exceeds 90%. The weight is basically a little heavier than the latter. Ignoring the content ratio, the silver is more than 330 yuan!

However, in 2016, the price of silver fell by three-quarters, Yingyang fell back to around 300, and acquaintances could even win 256. If the weight is multiplied by the price of silver, it would be cheaper than industrial silver in 2011!

As for silver, it is more able to reflect the prices of the times and the actual purchasing power.

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan deliberately did not use the word “sales” because in the 1930s, it was a legitimate ordinary business to sell Ming Dynasty imperial porcelain to foreigners, just like those high-level cultural relic shops in order to create foreign exchange. There is a reason to receive RMB.

"A bowl will cost more than US$1 million, and the propaganda has almost reached the level of a'national treasure'. In the future, it will not become a'national weapon', nonsense!

Just eat a bowl, and in another twenty years, I will know how many items will return at a high price. It's all for money. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan couldn't consciously think of those royal faucets: If it weren't for himself, all the **** ones would make the Eight-Nation Alliance grab twice!

For the second time, I got my face up and let others grab it. I spent tens of millions on buying a few faucets that were not designed by Huaxia, and made them like a national hero. It was a waste!

As for this porcelain...

Not to mention other things, Chenghua Chenghua, eating bowls and drinking cups, one brain is hotter than the other!

More than 100 million, more than 200 million...

Damn it, it's **** rich!

Well, compared to those faucets, these bowls and wine glasses are at least the crystallization of the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancient Chinese people, and they are not that vomiting blood.

Besides, the senses are not as awkward as those faucets are robbed first and then robbed again for money by others.

Some of the bowls and wine glasses that returned at a high price were looted at the beginning, but many foreigners bought them with money. At least they didn't feel like being robbed twice.

Similarly, there are Yuan blue and white flowers, most of which were donated and exported by the state during the Yuan Dynasty. When we buy them back in the future, we think it is too expensive and others speculate them well. At least they have not been robbed twice.

Oh, and there are a lot of Chinese objects that were already in Japan in the Tang Dynasty over the little devil. Although Zhang Nan is coveting those things, he will never shout like some brain-dead people in the future: that is our national treasure of China! is ours!

Nonsense, bullshit!

Zhang Nan was not pleasing to the eyes of the little devil, but if it hadn't been preserved, there would be no place to verify the real thing now!

our?

Brain problem!

Those things were bought more than a thousand years ago, just like those Tang big knives and a few Tianmu bowls, spread in an orderly manner, in Zhang Nan's eyes, they belonged to them!

If you don't learn history anymore, just shouting "Those are Chinese national treasures, looted Chinese cultural relics, return to our country's treasures", that's nonsense!

The whole world will regard such a guy who is blindly talking with his eyes closed as 250!

The little devil looted a huge amount of cultural relics from China, but in the Tang and Song dynasties, especially in the Tang Dynasty, the little devil was still a grandson. To plunder, he must have that ability.

Just like the cultural relics of West Asia and the Middle East unearthed in some domestic tombs of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, should others shout: "That is our national treasure, Chinese people, return our national treasure to us!"

Can't be 250, shameful!

Okay, pull it far. Zhang Nan already has this drinking cup. As for this bowl...

Zhang Nan didn't take over the blue and white okra-patterned palace bowl, and asked her brother-in-law to send it back to China in a few days-not to enter Zhang Nan's treasure house, but to send it to her brother-in-law.

Zhang Nan has two pairs of the same palace bowls. The boy Weng Yeming brandished the super carrot of foreign exchange in Beijing. Most of the insiders in the Forty-Nine City were helping him scrape the floor. It's not a catch.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon under the imperial city roots, "rich reserves", it is difficult and risky for you to make high ancient bronzes, but as long as you have money, you can get some Ming and Qing official kilns in the first two years.

Zhang Nan even has a bit of nasty fun, "Brother-in-law, you said that we are two families, and then call Brother Guan, someday we will use Yongle Xuande to add a bunch of eating guys to eat a meal, and then drink tea in a flower **** cup after eating. Digest, will this be scolded to death by the people in the Palace Museum?"

Xiang Weirong was taken aback for a moment, and his brother-in-law obviously started to have an abnormal brain again.

"Well, this is okay! You also need to use Tading stew, the stuff is clean, and it needs to be simmered on a low heat to taste. After eating, one person washes his hands with a large copper plate from the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty...

Just be careful of being drowned by the spit star after eating! "

"Clean" because it is a cellar, not a tomb unearthed.

Using the stuff from the tomb of the dead to cook and eat, think about it all.

Forget it, stop thinking about it, and plan to return to New York after having a Chinese meal in New Haven.

The film crew of this meeting has taken a temporary break. Lunch time is one hour, and they eat a set meal delivered by a takeaway. The treasure holders and experts are also treated the same.

It’s very American. It saves time and can be recorded in the afternoon in one effort. It also saves money: New Haven City Hall pays for lunch.

Everyone had no complaints and was pragmatic. Zhang Nan saw that the food was much richer than the normal Chinese box lunch in the future, but he did not leave to eat.

It's not that I don't like the set meal too simple, I don't pay attention to this Zhang Nan, I just don't have to eat. Who knew he would come uninvited before, so he booked so many, the funds were limited, and they didn't have the share of the group!

Don't mind, I really appreciate this style of working: the government, it must be pragmatic, not wasteful, and avoid vain things.

Before leaving, Henry had a few words with his niece Anna, and asked her about the arrangements for the next period of time, and by the way, learn about the recent arrangements for the "Treasure Hunt" program.

There are several groups of people in the filming crew, but there are only two hosts, and they have to rush to the scene. The recent arrangements have been made for two people to clear the door.

Here Zhang Nan and a few experts chatted freely, and they said two polite remarks on the scene. Suddenly, I heard Anna saying that he was going to Tucson at the end of the month, and the program team was going to join in the fun over there.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan on one side said to Anna: "Coincidentally, my wife and I will also have plans to go to Tucson. Today you have no time to work. I will invite you to dinner."

The big boss wants a treat. Good thing, the film crews who temporarily stopped eating the package are all grateful.

Why did Zhang Nan go to Tucson, Arizona's second largest city?

The same reason as the program group: join in the fun.

...

After a feast at a seafood restaurant near the pier, he took his super yacht back to Long Island.

There is still a few nautical miles away from his own cove, and Brown called: It's a coincidence that he was talking about going to Tucson in 20 days.

Knowing that Zhang Nan can return to the manor in at most twenty minutes, Brown and Joshua will come together, and there are other things to say in person, but I don't understand on the phone.

The ship docked and returned home, and the two jewellery experts arrived before they had fun holding their daughters and sons.

All the women in the family are there, and even Charlize Theron is resting at home. She is still on vacation, and there are still a few days before school starts.

It's related to jewelry, all come to join in the fun.

Sitting down in the living room, Zhang Nan would feel that Brown and Joshua are a little weird today. After sitting down, they seem to be asking for themselves and are brewing something.

Finally, Brown spoke first: "Boss, the Oscar is set?"

Without thinking, Henry, who hasn't left yet, feels a bit inexplicable: Two eldest brothers, I'm in charge of that matter, okay, what's the situation with you?

Then, Henry and Zhang Nan seemed to think of something at the same time. The latter said: "If you ask Henry about this, he knows better than me."

Henry Debosson had guessed it in his heart this time. Hearing the boss's words, he said to Brown twice: "Last month the 29th nomination vote has been launched. I will vote in the next few days and the nomination will be announced on the 15th.

The nominees luncheon will be held on the 2nd of next month. The final election will start on the 6th and will end on the 17th. The award ceremony will be on the 22nd.

They are all their own, closed the door to tell the truth, it’s no problem for Mrs. Adjani to win the best actress this time, with double yolk eggs at most.

I said Brown. Last time, I didn’t say that Mrs. Adjani participated in the Oscar’s jewelry and used diamond jewelry designed by the Joshua team. Is there a change? "

One side is responsible for jewelry, and the other is responsible for the film and television media empire. Of course, the connection between jewelry and celebrities.

Coupled with the Oscar factor, Brown guessed it was because of what jewelry Ajani was wearing when she attended!

One hundred percent is "Star International" jewelry. This is a nail in the book. Not only Ajani, but also actresses who are eligible to attend this movie festival and have a close relationship with "Star Columbia" will all wear the high-end "Star International" Jewelry.

Among them, Ajani will be the unparalleled queen of jewelry!

It was planned for a long time: this time I will not wear the diamonds that have appeared in public before, so as not to be said, "Who borrowed this necklace? Where did this ring appear..."

She doesn't need her own necklace with a main diamond of more than 100 carats. Next month, Ajani will wear a new set of purple, red diamonds and rubies to participate in the Oscars awards ceremony. It will definitely surprise the audience!

That is her own jewelry, which will only belong to Isabel Adjani in the future!

Nicole and Jenny completely accepted the Rose of France, and the two dug out a lot of loose diamonds from their respective "treasury", and cut rubies to give to Ajani.

Although the largest diamond in that newly designed set of jewelry is only 15 carats, it is purple!

It's totally unreasonable!

The one-carat purple diamond is the baby among the treasures. You come to a 15-carat diamond, so you don’t want to be confused?

It seems that Brown and Joshua have been involved in something demon, has the situation changed?

Now Brown said cautiously: "That's right, we consider that the purple diamond series will not be sold at all, at least in recent years, there will be no surplus that will be sold.

Joshua and I wondered if Mrs. Adjani could use another set of newly designed jewelry for the Oscars, and then wear purple diamonds on other occasions. "

Why not sell it?

No way, the number of purple diamonds, no matter how big or small, is so small that it is not enough for Zhang Nan's few women to share, and they sell a hair!

Had it not been for a very small amount of purple diamonds mined in Zimbabwe in the past few months, it is estimated that Nicole would be reluctant to give such "superstar purple diamonds to Adjani".

"reason?"

Zhang Nan's question is very simple: these two guys must be hiding something from behind!

Purple diamond, rare in the world!

"The tourmaline sent from Brazil has been processed, and Joshua and I agree that it is simply unparalleled!

Although the purple diamond is very suitable, it will not be sold for at least ten years, and the promotion of the company is not as good as the new product.

Moreover, boss, the new Paraiba tourmaline is truly unparalleled and unparalleled in the world!

The color of the finished product after cutting is completely unique to it. There is absolutely no such color in another gemstone! "

Is it really such an exaggeration?

In order to persuade Zhang Nan, the two guys brought everything, a three-piece set, four kinds: a Paraiba tourmaline natural style necklace, the main stone is cut in a pear shape, which is very large and weighs 6 carats.

The main stone can be disassembled and attached to a laurel branch necklace with 665 diamonds, which fully highlights the unique color of the main stone.

The ring uses a combination of white gold and gold on a base, inlaid with a pear-shaped 11-carat Paraiba Cullinan, the color is exactly the same as the main stone of the necklace.

There are several layers of patterns on the side of the main stone of the ring, using a bunch of colorless diamonds, emeralds, pink-red spinels, fire opals, amethysts, sapphires, yellow sapphires, blue ashlars, Pink sapphires, demantoid and spessartine garnets inlaid and embellished!

As for a pair of earrings, they are matched with the same ring. Two Laparaíba tourmalines weighing 5 and 7 grams each are used as the main earrings, surrounded by a bunch of diamonds and gemstones of various colors to form small flowers.

The colors and varieties of the matching stones of the rings and earrings can exceed the color palette. Will this design be a distraction?

Will not! The eyes of everyone in the living room ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ including Zhang Nan, were all attracted by the four tourmalines on this set of jewelry!

Beautiful, it is completely stunning and beyond the most optimistic estimates before, beautiful and attractive!

This is a kind of transparent blue that has never appeared before, so blue that everyone can't get out after seeing it in!

Zhang Nan is also unavoidable.

I knew this top-quality tourmaline in my previous life, and I also knew that the real Brazilian Paraiba tourmaline was so expensive that I hadn’t seen it!

Quite simply, there are too few Paraiba tourmalines in Brazil, as few as Zhang Nan has never seen the real thing in China: there are really too few Paraiba tourmalines!

Brown is right, the color and texture are unparalleled, because before this, such blue has never appeared in front of humans on earth!

Judging from the reaction of the boss and others, Joshua knew that his and Brown’s self-assertion should not cause the boss to be unhappy, saying: "This is currently the only set of finished Paraiba tourmaline jewelry in the world. The four largest Paraiba tourmalines in the world."
