Happy Tycoon

After seeing Yang Jing moving the bronze statue out of the back seat, Cai Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Regardless of the freezing of the sky, Cai Yi took the bronze statue directly.

"Tsk tsk, good stuff! Good stuff!" After looking at it for a long time, Cai Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"I said, you kid, why are you so lucky? This bronze statue can really be a national treasure of India. I said where did you get it from?"

The weight of the bronze statue is not light. Yang Jing didn't want to tire the old man in front of him, so he reached out his hand to take the bronze statue and said with a smile: "Uncle Cai, as your old man said, good luck. I sent my daughter-in-law the day before yesterday. I got on the plane and was going to see my second aunt and grandma on the way back, so I didn’t take the airport expressway, but I encountered a big episode in a village. I thought to myself, it was early at this time, so I went down and strolled around. I bought this bronze statue by accident. It cost me 800..."

"Eight, eight hundred?" Cai Yi looked like he had seen a ghost, "You missed it is really big enough, I don't know what to say about you."

Yang Jing pretended to be a little embarrassed as he walked and said, "In fact, there is more than this bronze statue. There are also a large number of manuscripts and documents from Ming, Qing and the Republic of China. , I also received a pair of Ru porcelain fragments, and a Longquan Ge kiln flower mouth plate..."

Cai Yi staggered, almost arching his head on the ground. After standing up straight, the old man stared at Yang Jing and asked, "Where is that plate? Where are the pieces of Ru porcelain?"

"Sao Rui, Uncle Cai, I didn't bring those things today. But if you want to see, I can show you later. I rented a house, and everything is there."

"Then why are you still hesitating? Go! Let's go!" Hearing this, Old Cai didn't look at the bronze statue anymore, and even planned to take Yang Jing directly and leave.

What Yang Jing said was really shocking. The fragments of Ru porcelain are good to say, but the key is that the flower mouth plate of the Longquan Ge kiln is too precious. Ge Kiln is currently the only unproven mouth of the five kilns in the Song Dynasty, and the Longquan Ge Kiln discovered now is extremely rare. Therefore, every time a porcelain suspected of Longquan Ge Kiln appears, this group will be allowed to engage in ancient porcelain research. Everyone was very excited, not to mention that the plate in Yang Jing's hand was still a complete tool, it was even more incredible.

In the eyes of those who specialize in ancient porcelain research, even the Longquan Ge kiln has a research value that far exceeds the other four famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.

"Uncle Cai, why are you in a hurry? The things are left at home. They don’t have long legs and can’t run. If you want to see it, I can take you to see it at any time. However, I’m mainly here today I want to talk about this bronze statue. At the same time, when I sorted out the manuscripts yesterday, I found that many precious manuscripts are in urgent need of protection, so I would like to trouble you to find a good article for ancient books this time. Bao’s experts followed the past to take a look, especially the precious manuscripts, which really need to be protected. Maybe you don’t know that there are six handwritten manuscripts by Master Lu Xun among those manuscripts..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yi's mouth opened wider. Although he specialized in ancient porcelain research, he also knew what Lu Xun's manuscripts meant.

After a long pause, Cai Yi gradually calmed down. A row of foreheads said with a smile: "You kid, I don't know what to say about you! Come on, I'll find an expert for you, for a while. Let's go over and take a look."

As he said, the old man shook his head again and muttered: "Others just find a broken page of Master Lu Xun's manuscript and want to enshrine them directly. You guys are not good. You can buy six copies in one purchase! All these are so special. What kind of shit..."

The two soon arrived at Cai Yi's office. At this time, Cai Yi was not so anxious, but once again looked at the dancer Shiva that Yang Jing had brought to take on the Ganges Descendant Statue.

After watching the freshman for a while, Cai Yi took out a lot of instruments-like tools, tested them on the bronze statue one by one, and then pulled out a thick tome from the bookshelf. After searching for it, he nodded and said, "Yes, this bronze statue is indeed from the Chula dynasty in southern India in the ninth century. Whether it is seen from the shape or the patina, this bronze statue has The most important thing about the old objects of the year is that on the artifacts held by the left hand of this bronze statue, there are four characters'Balandagar' carved in Dravidian language."

After a pause, Cai Yi explained: "The Chula Dynasty is a continuous dynasty established by the Indian Tamils ​​from the first century AD to the 17th century AD. This dynasty has experienced prosperity and decline, intermittently. It lasted for nearly one thousand six hundred years. And this'Balanda Gha' is a key figure in the rise of the Chula Dynasty in the ninth century AD, and is honored as'Balanda Gha I'by the Indians."

"Although this Balanda Gha I has only been in power for five years, in these five years, Balanda Gha I led the Tamil people to fight in the South and North, and even annexed Pandia, and It also successfully invaded Ceylon, laying a solid foundation for the re-emergence of the Chula Dynasty."

"This bronze statue should have been cast during the reign of Balandagar I. After the 5th century, Shiva and Vishnu sects began to spread and became influential religions. The Lord Shiva was worshipped enthusiastically in the society. And Vishnu, the Tamil Nadu region was also deeply affected. In the ninth century, when Barandaga I reigned, the Shiva sect reached its heyday, and it happened that Barandaga I was in the folk The reputation is also very high. Therefore, it is not impossible that some folks use Shiva to worship Balandagar I. Of course, if I look at it, I would rather believe this. The bronze statue was a meticulous work of the Chora dynasty during the reign of Balandagar I."

"In the ninth century, the Indian folks probably didn't possess such sophisticated craftsmanship. It was the royal family who was able to cast such exquisite bronze statues of Shiva. Moreover, according to historical records, Balandagar I was a person. Although he is very capable, he is a person with very high self-esteem. Moreover, the continuous victory of the battle is likely to make this outstanding king's self-confidence even more inflated, and even advertise himself as a god."

Yang Jing smiled and said: "So this great and wise king ordered a batch of such statues of Shiva to be cast, and he carved his name on the utensils held by Lord Shiva's left hand, in a vain attempt. Incarnate into a **** like Shiva. But I’m afraid it’s the king’s method of offending the gods that made the king sit on the throne for only five years..."

Cai Yi smiled and nodded.

In fact, it is not difficult to identify this bronze statue. After all, this is a bronze statue of Lord Shiva. It has the supreme status in India. Ordinary Indians would not dare to blaspheme this supreme god, let alone make this supreme **** fake.

Although there are countless statues of Lord Shiva in India, the bronze statues made in modern times are completely different from those made more than a thousand years ago, so it is not difficult to judge the identity of this bronze statue.

"Yang Zi, the identity of this bronze statue has already been determined, so let's talk about it. You don't bring those precious manuscripts and the flower mouth plate of the Longquan kiln, but you only brought such an Indian one. Bronze statue, do you want to shoot?"

Yang Jing nodded and said, "Well. Uncle Cai, I have no feeling for Indian gods, and I don't bother to collect such things, so I want to find a way to sell them. Do you need such a bronze statue?"

Cai Yi smiled and nodded and said: "Of course it is necessary. Although this bronze statue is a bronze statue in India, it is also a valuable treasure. Whether it is Poly or Guardian, you need such a treasure. But Yang Zi, now This time is not very good, the spring auction is still a while away. You mean..."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Cai, it's the same as the last time the Qianlong blue and white five bat holding a longevity ear bottle. Just ask and see how much money I can accept. I can sell it to you directly."

After listening to Yang Jing’s joyous words, Cai Yi also said straightforwardly: “Yang Zi, you should also know that Christie’s held an auction in New York two years ago, and there was once an auction with you on it. A bronze statue similar to the bronze statue."

Yang Jing nodded and said, “I know this. It was an auction held by Christie’s specifically for Mr. An Siyuan’s collection, and I also know that one of Mr. An Siyuan’s collection was also cast by the Chula Dynasty in the 9th century. Shiva, the dancing king of China, took on the Ganges Descending Statue. However, the bronze statue of Mr. An Siyuan is not as good as mine in terms of appearance and head."

"It's fine if you know." Cai Yi nodded and said, "And you should also know that the bronze statue that Mr. An Siyuan once collected was sold at a high price of 2.85 million U.S. dollars at that auction. In the past two years, it was made in India. The economic rise is fast, and the price of India’s precious cultural relics in the international auction market is showing a rapid growth trend. As you said just now, the bronze statue in your hand is both in appearance and size. The bronze statue collected by Mr. Siyuan is better and bigger, so it is conservatively estimated that if your bronze statue is photographed, three million dollars should be the guaranteed price."

After a pause, Cai Yi continued: "Whether it is Poly or Guardian, they have been planning to enter the Indian market in the past two years, but to enter the Indian market smoothly, an auction with sufficient influence is needed. But at this point, Guardian is slightly ahead of Poly. As far as I know, Guardian is preparing for an Indian auction, which should be after next year’s spring auction, and Guardian has also collected a lot of Indian antiques. I think , If your bronze statue is handed over to Guardian, it will definitely be designated as a blockbuster auction item. Even if it is the final auction item, it is not impossible."

Yang Jing nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle Cai, then I will give you this bronze statue for three million dollars? As for whether you are willing to hand it over to Guardian or Poly, then you make the decision."

"Okay! I'll call them now."

Because I have done a transaction before, this transaction is still very smooth. In the end, Cai Yi decided to hand over this bronze statue to Guardian.

It's not that Cai Yi is unwilling to hand over this bronze statue to Poly, but it is because Guardian wants to enter the Indian market even faster. And if this bronze statue of India's national treasure is to be sold at a good price, it will naturally be handed over to Guardian who is more prepared.

After learning that a bronze statue of India’s national treasure had appeared, and the seller was the person who had just dealt with more than ten days ago, the senior officials of Guardian immediately bought three million US dollars without hesitation. This bronze statue is in the bag.

As Cai Yi just said, Guardian is preparing to hold an auction in Mumbai, India after the spring auction next year. Now such a bronze statue of India’s national treasure has appeared, and the price is very reasonable. The appraiser's appraisal, if they didn't buy this bronze statue, it would be called collective brain damage.

If next year's Indian auction is very successful, this bronze statue alone can bring Guardian a net income of at least two million US dollars, or even more.

As for unsuccessful auctions, this is almost impossible. If this bronze statue really appears in an Indian auction, it will definitely be snatched by the local tyrants in India.

There is a huge gap in poverty in India. Poor people wish that a family can only cover one band-aid at night, but rich people are really wealthy. Take Mukesh, the richest man in India, this guy was the richest man in the world ten years ago! As for the other wealthy people in India, such as India's steel king Mittal, India's drug king Dilip Shanwei, and India's kicked giant Achim Premki.. ....

The 57 richest people in India control 70% of India's wealth!

And most of these rich and rich people are very believers in Shiva. If these rich men make a move, this bronze statue will definitely not worry about selling it!

It is precisely because of these important reasons that the senior officials of Guardian bought the bronze statue directly with money without hesitation.

The transaction proceeded very smoothly. After Cai Yi signed the relevant agreement on behalf of Jiade and Yang Jing, according to Yang Jing's request, he directly used US dollars into Yang Jing's card. Even the handling fee, UU reading www. The Guardian from uukanshu.com has all been replaced.

Last time through the transaction of Qianlong blue and white five bat holding shouguan ear bottles, the senior officials of Guardian also learned from Cai Yi about the potential of Yang Jing, a young man. Those who engage in auction houses, of course, like to have a good relationship with this kind of people with great potential, and the trivial handling fee should be used to promote the relationship between the two parties.

After doing all this, Cai Yi smiled and said: "Yang Zi, I have done everything for you. Next, should we talk about your Longquan kiln flower mouth plate and the manuscript problems? NS?"

Yang Jing smiled and said, "I don't dare to ask my ears if I want to."

Cai Yi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, happy! I'll find you an expert who specializes in ancient books and good text protection. Let's go over and see the treasures you bought."

With that, Cai Yi grabbed the phone on the desk: "Old Guo, I’m Lao Cai, do you have time now... Well, well, I’ll be waiting for you in the office, so hurry up." , This junior of mine has six master Lu Xun's manuscripts..."

Then Yang Jing faintly heard the sound of "smashing" tables and chairs falling to the ground from the microphone...
