"What did you say to that cousin? How did he change his attitude so fast?" Hans asked wonderingly.

Li Du said easily: "I knew he had a handle, and he knew it from Rose, so I used to threaten him."

Hans thought about it and said, "Although it makes me feel good, but really, Lee, this is not fair to Rose. She trusts you to tell you something and you should probably keep it secret."

"It doesn't matter."

"Fine, then tell me, I want to let everyone in Flagstaff know!"

"Fake it!"

The two of them were joking, but when they came to the police station warehouse, a white man greeted them: "Two, good morning, are you the owner of the mammoth ivory?"

白人 This white man is in his fifties, wearing golden glasses, and wearing a suit, tie and clothes on a hot day.

Hans said, "Oh yes, but we don't need a lawyer, thank you."

"I'm not a lawyer," the white man laughed.

"We don't need financial services, we don't buy insurance, we don't buy stocks, we don't have funds or futures ..."

"I'm an expert in zoology, and I've also studied animal products. My name is Ellens Bryan, and I'm happy to meet you." The middle-aged man interrupted him and quickly introduced himself.

杜 Li Du shoved Hans and shook hands with Ellens: "Hello, Mr. Brian, what is your purpose?"

Ellens nodded, "Yes, I want to ask, where did you get the ivory inside?"

"Where is the warehouse auction?"

那 "Are you interested in selling them? I know a few ivory sculptors who are out of stock recently. If you are willing to sell, they are definitely good customers." Ellens said with a smile.

Hans laughed too, and he whispered, "Very well, I suddenly found it was good to be at the police station, not as bad as we thought."

But the police station is not a good place to talk about business. They left the address of Hannah's small building.

The next morning, three white men of the same age as Ellens arrived, and Hans called Li Du over. This was to talk about business.

生意 The appearance of this business is so coincidental that they thought it would take ten and a half months to sell the ivory. I did not expect that the customer would be contacted in less than 24 hours.

Ellens introduced the two parties. The three were named Alvaradin, Bill, and Todd. They were ivory sculptors from different European countries. This time I came to Las Vegas to participate in an art auction. Ellens and them were friends and they got in touch.

Take out five ivory, the color has changed from red brown to yellow brown, and it looks much cleaner. The sun shines on it, forming a soft halo, which makes people look very comfortable.

Li Du asked: "Well, how did the color change?"

Hans shrugged and said, "This is their original color. I cleaned it with water and a brush last night, and it became like this."

"Yo, overtime?"

Hans smiled proudly: "Of course, I'm a hardworking American."

I heard what the two said, and Ellens said, "The surface of the mammoth ivory is of various colors, blue, green, red, and yellow. This is because they are buried in the ground with iron copper phosphate, and red is common."

The roots of the five ivory were filed with a file. The red part on the top is the ivory skin, and the white part on the lower part is the dentin of the mammoth ivory. There is a line between the two, which looks like it is cracked.

Li Du noticed and said, "What's going on? Cracked?"

Toothcarver Todd shook his head and said, "No, this is the dividing line between tooth skin and dentin, not a crack, you just know with a fingernail."

The cleft palate will have a clear sense of fracture when pulled up with your fingernails, and the cuticle boundary line will not have a broken feel. Li Du started to touch it, and it really started to lubricate.

瓦 Alvaradin took out a bright flashlight to turn it on, then followed the welding, and flashed the five ivory from beginning to end.

The mammoth ivory with white teeth appears to be irradiated with a strong flashlight, and it turns into a flesh-red color similar to that when it irradiates fingers, with a soft color and warm eyes.

"Beautiful, mammoth ivory still has this hand?" Li Du exclaimed.

Ellens nodded: "Yes, 95% of the mammoth ivory is blood. If you sculpt the finished product, it will be more beautiful under strong light."

After the five ivory pictures were taken, Alvaradin held the two ivory next to him with a thunderbolt: "OK, these two are mine, and the other you pick."

滚 "Go away, these two are mine, and the other three are left alone."

"Dare to grab ivory with me? You are so shameless, I only need one of these two, and I want this one."

The three of them started to quarrel.

"These two are not red," Hans wondered.

Allens explained: "Yes, but the quality of the mammoth ivory does not depend on the color of the blood, but the softness of the light. The two are the softest and will make people look more comfortable."

Twenty-five people quarreled, and then re-divided. Alvaradin picked the softest one, and the other two split into two.

This is the next thing to talk about the price, Li Du backed down, Hans came forward, this is his masterpiece.

"We all know that ivory is a contraband and a bargain. The best material for carving ivory is mammoth ivory, so this one hundred thousand pieces."

After listening to Hans, the three sculptors suddenly stared at the eyes: "Er ~ www.readwn.com ~ We read that right. This is ivory, not Burmese emerald?"

"Yes, this is ivory, but it is not ordinary ivory. This is mammoth ivory. It is denser and harder than contemporary ivory. The crafts produced also have a higher appreciation and collection value ... this 90,000 yuan cannot be lower. "

Alvaradin shook his head vigorously: "No, lad, your quotation is ridiculously high. The quality of this ivory is the best of the five, but it is not the best of the ivory types. It can not be higher than 30,000."

抱歉 "Sorry, I didn't understand how much you said? 30,000 yuan? This is an insult to the mammoth ivory!" Hans called.

Todd wanted to speak, Hans did n’t give him a chance: "You know, they are scarce materials and non-renewable resources. Every one in the world is minus one. Aside from the material, they are so old, you use money. It ’s too vulgar to measure it, 80,000 yuan ... ”

Billy and Todd fought, and the three of them bargained with Hans.

汉 But Hans was not afraid. He still has the skill to face three mouths. From the value of collection to the international situation, from the difficulty of mining to the value of art, his mouth is very up and down.

Bill shouted, "Don't think we don't know. You got it from the warehouse and picked it up, but you didn't go through the hard work yourself."

Hans said: "Look at what you are saying, that's why I have to insist on the price, because I have to be worthy of the workers who were hit by the **** ice and snow in Siberia, and I must respect their efforts!"

"50 thousand yuan, no longer sell!"

The engravers were dissatisfied and were still struggling to bargain. Hans bit the price and played the bitterness card. The two sides fought again.

This made Li Du's eyes wide open: "Nima, the three British battles Lu Bu."
