treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 675

As a well-known barrister in the Chinese community, Gu Lishi used his professional ability to [-]%, and immediately entered the fighting rhythm after accepting Li Mo's entrustment.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, the person in charge of the hotel finally came belatedly, apologized to Expert Chen formally, and compensated a handsome sum of money.

"Mr. Gulishi, this is your reward."

Li Mo wrote him a check with a smile, then picked up a cup of coffee and drank slowly.

"Thank you Mr. Qin, I will accept it."

"You deserve it. We will continue to visit the market tomorrow. I hope you can cooperate with me better."

"Don't worry, if I can bring more Chinese antiques back to China, that's what I should do. What about Mr. Steven, why didn't you see him?"

"I asked him to take that stone carving to a professional for appraisal. I believe there will be good news soon. Mr. Gulishi, he will be staying at the hotel tonight, and all the expenses these days will be charged to me. There is no delicious food in the United States, we can only drink some coffee and some not-so-delicious pastries, let's have some together."

"So I live in Chinatown, and I can eat whatever I want. Mr. Qin, there are actually a lot of antique shops in Chinatown. Although I don't know much about antiques, I feel that every antique shop there is doing good business."

"I'll go shopping when I have time."

The next day, just as Li Mo finished washing, someone knocked on the door outside.When Li Mo opened the door, he saw Steven walking in very excitedly and said, "Mr. Qin, the stone sculpture you found in the open-air market is a valuable work of art, and it is the work of the famous French sculptor Boudel." Early works. His works are very popular in the European and American markets, as long as each work is on the auction, there is no less than 300 million US dollars."

Li Mo sat back on the sofa, poured a glass of warm water and drank a few sips and said, "Just that stone sculpture?"

"That is his early work. I have consulted professional appraisal experts. If the stone sculpture is put on the auction, it is estimated that the transaction price will be around 500 million US dollars. Mr. Qin, if you intend to sell it, you can make it your artwork Transaction Manager."

Steven was very excited. The stone sculptures that Li Mo found were already very valuable. He also found an oil painting yesterday. According to his experience, if the oil paintings were made by famous artists, their value might be many times higher than the stone carvings.As long as he is willing to make a move, his agency fee is not low.

"We will sell, but not now, we will continue to visit the market today."

"Ok."

Today, except for expert Chen who stayed in the hotel to recuperate, the others went to work at the Boston Museum as usual.Li Mo and the others took a car to Harrison Avenue, where they found a few treasures after just a little shopping in the open-air market, so he was full of more expectations for that side.

"Mr. Qin, there are so many tourists here today."

"There are many people who have a chance to find good things." Li Mo walked slowly, scanning the different pupils one by one, stopping from time to time to ask the stall owner, haggling for a great deal.And there were four more people following today, and the bags on each of them slowly bulged.

"Take them all back to the car first."

After shopping for more than two hours, I found a lot of good things. I only came across three pieces of Huaxia antiques. They were all foreign works of art. Although he didn't understand them, he could respond to them through the perspective of different pupils, so he bought them all back.

"Mr. Qin, have some drinks."

Steven handed over a bottle of freshly squeezed juice drink, and Li Mo took two sips and nodded, "I've already visited the antique section of the open-air market here. Is there any place to visit nearby?"

Steven pointed to a small alley diagonally opposite: "There is another alley over there, and there are also street stalls over there, but the people there belong to... similar to mobile stalls. There are mainly two types of stall owners One type of people came from the surrounding countryside, and the other type was a bit informal and would sell some special things.”

"Okay, then let's go and have a look."

There are not many tourists in the alley diagonally opposite, but there are indeed many street stalls.As for the special items for sale that Steven mentioned, Li Mo could understand what it meant when he got there.Except for the real mobile stalls, nearly half of the stall owners are young women who are very attractively dressed.

As for the items sold at the stall, they were naturally related to women's products. The customers who came here were basically men, and the two parties had physical contact from time to time.

Li Mo turned his head and glanced at Steven, who smiled awkwardly and said, "This is the most lively place at night."

The things displayed on the mobile stalls in the alleys are rather strange, and there are many things that Li Mo doesn't know what they are.But there are also a lot of things that can be seen to be a bit like Indians, but unfortunately they are all imitations, otherwise Li Mo will definitely take them all away.

While walking and watching, Li Mo suddenly stopped and squatted down to look at the things on the booth.The stall owner was a sloppy man in his 50s, with a full beard, messy hair, and torn clothes.He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a cushion under his buttocks, and beside him were four empty beer cans, two of which were still unopened.As for the appetizers, there is a box of fried chicken legs, a little cooked food and chili sauce.

"May I have a look?"

Steven hurriedly translated, and after getting permission from the drunken boss, Li Mo lifted a three-color tomb-suppressing beast from the ground.

This tomb town animal is about 26 centimeters high and [-] centimeters wide.There are double curved horns on the top of the head, the face is ferocious, the eyes are wide open, the mouth is wide open, and the fangs are exposed.Wings detail the shoulders, and the surface of the wings is shaded.The body is in a squatting position, stepping down on a mountain-shaped base.Green, white and brown three-color glazes are applied to the whole body, and the glaze color is bright and lustrous.

Li Mo took a closer look, and found that the tomb-suppressing beast was actually well preserved, with only a few small bumps and no obvious major damage.

With a sweep of the different pupils, a red halo was indeed emitted from the body of the three-color tomb-slayer beast.Think about it, such antiquities are funerary objects, and even if you want to fake it in this place in the United States, you will not use such antiquities as prototypes.

Li Mo gently put down the three-color tomb-guarding beast, and his eyes fell on a three-color pottery figurine, which is also an unearthed ancient relic of the Tang Dynasty.

"Could it be that they came out of the same tomb?"

Suspicion suddenly arose in my heart, how could this sloppy boss have three-color tomb-suppressing beasts and three-color pottery figurines in his hands? Could it be that his ancestors used to do those shady things in Huaxia?
There was still porcelain on the street stall. Li Mo picked up a blue-and-white cup, and after careful identification, it turned out to be a genuine Ming Wanli blue-and-white cup.

Yi Tong glanced at the other things, and there were two pieces of Tang Sancai and seven pieces of Ming and Qing porcelains in this booth, and a total of nine pieces were all ancient relics.Damn, Li Mo couldn't help but look up at the sloppy boss who was still eating fried chicken legs and asked, "How did you sell this cup?"

"Three hundred dollars." Steven seamlessly translated.

Li Mo also pointed to the Jiaqing famille rose plate.

"Five hundred dollars, these are all five hundred dollars." Steven pointed to the tomb-slayer and the pottery figurine, "The boss said that each of these two big things costs two thousand dollars."

so cheap!

This scruffy American man offered such a low price that Li Mo was too embarrassed to haggle.And he was guessing that since this man can display nine authentic items, does he have more authentic items in his hand?
"Steven, ask if he still has something like this in his hand?"

After a few conversations, Steven said: "Mr. Qin, the boss said he still has a lot in his hometown in the country. If you like, he can sell them to you at a lower price."

Seeing that Li Mo wanted to buy his things, the sloppy man quickly stood up and chattered a lot, quite agitated.

"Mr. Qin, he said the price is negotiable. But if you want to buy it, can you buy him a bottle of liquor first? He would be very grateful."

It was an alcoholic.

Li Mo glanced at Gu Lishi, they lived in the United States for many years, so they naturally knew what good wine was available.

"Buy two bottles of good wine for this boss."

Gu Lishi nodded hurriedly. There were high-end wine sellers on both sides of the street, and soon two bottles of foreign wine were bought.The boss bared his black teeth happily. He hurriedly took a bottle and opened it, then tilted his head and drank three gulps, then closed his eyes as if he was feeling the deliciousness of the wine.

"Steven, I bought all of these, and if his family in the country is like this, I'll buy them all too."

Steven immediately translated it, and the sloppy man gave Li Mo a thumbs up and nodded.

The security guard behind him took out $[-] from his bag and handed it to him.His eyes were bright, and he took the money with both hands and counted them one by one.

"Steven, communicate with him when you can go to his home in the country to have a look. We will carefully move all the things on the floor back into the car."
