Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

The rain was very strange. It didn't end in a day or two, but it rained intermittently for nearly half a month. Li Mo originally wanted to keep the same rhythm as the expert group, and set off for New York on May 10th to perform antique maintenance tasks. But because of the rainy season, the rain hardly stopped, so Li Mo simply asked everyone to stay in Seattle and have more fun.

On the morning of May 20th, when I woke up, the sky outside was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. The whole city seemed to wake up from a deep sleep and regain its vitality.

"Mr. Qin, the work of the expert team is progressing very smoothly, and it is estimated that the work there will be finished in five days. The person in charge of the team wants to know how you arranged it?"

"Join them, strive to return to China together, and leave today."

"Yes, I will notify everyone immediately."

From Boston to Washington, and from Washington to Seattle, I have to drive. This time, I can only take a plane from Seattle to New York. Otherwise, I will have to drive for more than 40 hours to get there. No matter whether you are driving or taking a car, you can’t stand it. Long jolts.

It took only five hours to fly, and when Li Mo and the others walked out of the New York airport, the sky had not yet darkened.

“It is truly a world-class city.”

This is Li Mo's first feeling when he leaves the airport, and it directly affects the global economy, finance, media, politics, education, entertainment and fashion circles. The headquarters of many international agencies, multinational companies and banks in the world, including the United Nations headquarters, are located here. It is conceivable how much influence it will have on the world.

"In May, has the consulate here in New York been contacted?"

"I have already contacted you. The person in charge knows that you are coming, and has promised that as long as you need it, he will fully support you."

"Oh, that's good."

"Mr. Qin, you went around the Washington embassy but left a huge sum of 30 million U.S. dollars as activity fees. This matter has already spread to the upper echelons. Director Gao contacted me alone a few days ago and asked me Do you need to send more people to help you?"

"They shouldn't be so vulgar, should they?"

"In front of money, you just have to be an ordinary layman. Who has any grudge against that thing?"

The people who came to pick up Li Mo and the others were the life staff of the expert group, and they chartered a bus.

"Mr. Qin, please get in the car."

Li Mo smiled and nodded at him. This person looked familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he used to work under Qin Yali. After Aunt Qin was promoted, he was also transferred to an important position. Don't think that this time he followed the expert team to serve them specially. In fact, it was the trust of his superiors that made him responsible for all the basic necessities of the expert team. .

"Steven, which auction company do you work for in New York?"

"Kimberley Auction House, but I am an art trader, and my main job is to find resources and serve the top rich people well. As long as I can seize the opportunity to make three deals every year, I will definitely not earn $200,000 a year. question."

Steven said here, thought for a while and said: "Mr. Qin, New York is a world-class city, it can be said to be a world-class financial center, where money can form a long flowing river. It is precisely because of this that the art here The commodity trading market is very prosperous. There are also many antique markets, and I think the probability of missing out here is higher, and the probability of finding top-level antiques is also higher.”

"Follow me out for a month, you and Gu Lishi both go home first, I will call you if I have something to do."

"Okay, we are always on call."

The hotel has been booked early, and Li Mo and the others can check in directly when they arrive. As soon as the luggage was packed, Professor Huang, Professor Zhang and others came to look for him. They had been busy in Boston, and they didn't know what good things Li Mo had found during this time.

"Expert Qin, tell us quickly what good things you found later?"

"That's right, you can find even the Emperor Qianlong's Dayue Knife, and there must be many other antiques. It's a pity that we haven't heard from you for a while, and we are all waiting for you to give us some unexpected surprises. "

"Expert Qin, if you find too many peerless antiques, just pick a few that we are almost familiar with and talk about."

A group of experts hurriedly urged Li Mo to say quickly that everyone is in a high mood, and this is full of expectations for Li Mo.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll talk to you experts and professors slowly. But what I'm talking about is only my own identification results, and I need to organize seniors to conduct secondary identification research for me later." Li Mo waved his fists to everyone .

"Expert Qin, if you are even eye-catching, our identification will be meaningless." Expert Huang suddenly asked in a low voice, "But I seem to have seen a familiar person with you just now."

Li Mo knew who he was referring to as soon as he heard it, and he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "That one used to be Sima Haotian, the chief appraisal expert of the Wandao Palace Museum."

Professor Huang suddenly patted his thigh: "No wonder I think he looks familiar. It turns out that he is a great talent, but he is arrogant and difficult to get along with."

"Those who are capable generally have heart."

"Forget it, let's drag the topic away, you tell us first and find those rare national treasures."

Li Mo motioned everyone to find a place to sit down. A group of experts and professors in their 40s and 50s can't all stand and listen to him.

"I will just choose a few pieces to talk about. There is the famous work handed down from the Southern Song Dynasty "Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes", the ink painting "Lu Yu Cooking Tea" by the painter Zhao Yuan of the Yuan Dynasty, and the famous work handed down by Li Tang of the Song Dynasty. "Picture", there is a gilt bronze Vairocana Buddha of the Liao Dynasty. There are also ivory carving fingers of Qianlong, jade ware of immortals and royal horses of the Han Dynasty, "Zhao Yebai Tu" by the famous Tang Dynasty Han Gan, and the auspicious Ruyi ears of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Gourd vases, jars with multicolored fish and algae patterns in the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, etc., and others are foreign antiques and works of art, so I won’t mention them one by one.”

The experts and professors in the room all looked at each other in dismay. There is still such a god in the world. Everything he just mentioned is a heavyweight national treasure.

"No, very wrong."

Expert Huang waved his hands suddenly, even saying it was wrong.

"Expert Huang is wrong, what is wrong?" Expert Zhang next to him couldn't help but elbowed him, "It's so nonsense, we don't understand what you mean."

"Mr. Qin, if I remember correctly, the "Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes", "Lu Yu Cooking Tea" and "Pine Wind in Myriad Valleys" you just mentioned are all collected in the Wandao Palace Museum. How could you find the so-called authentic works in this ghost place of the United States?"

"Professor Huang, after hearing what you said, I am also a little impressed. These three authentic works are all collected on the other side of the Strait."

Everyone in the room started talking about it, and in the end it was Expert Huang who wanted everyone to calm down and listen to what he had to say.

"Expert Qin, I have never doubted your ability to appraise treasures, but we can't understand what you said."

"Professor Huang, when was the last time you saw the three masterpieces I just mentioned?"

"About seven or eight years."

"Seven or eight years, how many things we can't imagine will happen during this period. Have you seen those three famous paintings again?"

Professor Huang pondered what he said, and a look of horror gradually appeared on his face.
