Jianbao life

Chapter 375

Li Heng was shocked by Zhang Minglan's generosity. He reached out to take the white gloves Zhang Minglan handed over, and carefully looked at the gold-coated copper shell.

This gold-coated copper shell is very small, close in size to a real shell.It is about three centimeters in size and weighs quite a bit, about a few grams.

The tooth pattern is clear, the shell surface is smooth, and the golden luster on it is very brilliant.Thousands of years have passed since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and the golden light on it is still dazzling and dazzling.It is a rare and extremely beautiful product without any signs of decay that are common in bronze wares.

Undoubtedly, these gold shells should be luxury goods for the princes and nobles in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, not currency for circulation in the market.In other words, it should be China's earliest commemorative coin.

Bronze ware has always been a national treasure in major museums. Huaxia had developed bronze casting technology in ancient times. Some bronze ware will be decorated on the surface after casting, and decoration with gold and silver is one of the mainstream.

As we all know, gold has excellent malleability. As long as the craftsman is willing to work hard and master the appropriate manufacturing methods, no matter how thick the gold is, it can be processed into a layer of gold foil as thin as a cicada.

And this gold-wrapping, as the name suggests, is to paste gold foil on the utensils, so it is also called gold-pasting process.

If you think about it, the appearance of the bronzes when they were first cast was definitely not the rusty appearance that can be seen in modern times. It was very simple and old.

The gold-clad technique has been widely applied to the decoration of bronzes in the Shang Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.By the beginning of the Han Dynasty, gold-clad craftsmanship basically disappeared.

If it is not extinct, just thinking about pasting gold on the already shining bronze ware, the effect will definitely blind countless titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

Li Heng sat back with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Master Liu cast his gaze over and looked at Li Heng eagerly.

Li Heng received this look and understood that Mr. Liu was very fond of this gold-covered copper shell and wanted to confirm with Li Heng whether the coin was genuine.

Ever since Mr. Liu and Li Heng met, he has never hired any appraiser. He relies entirely on Li Heng.

Li Heng nodded quietly at him.

"200 million!"

After receiving Li Heng's motion signal and confirming that it was true, Master Liu immediately called out the price and directly called out 200 million.

However, it was really difficult for Master Liu to successfully take down this gold-coated copper shell. Many people present had green eyes, and they all fell in love with this exquisite gold-coated copper shell.

After all, it is too rare for this thing to look so beautiful, without any rust, and showing its beautiful luster completely flawlessly. In such a condition, it can be regarded as a rare treasure.

Li Heng didn't care about this lot.

His current character is just staring at that Fujitang. If Fujitang is really willing to buy it, then it's time for Li Heng to make a move.

It's just a pain in Zhang Minglan's pocket.

"300 million!"

One of the thinner tall men raised his hand and shouted the price, he turned his head and nodded towards everyone and said: "I have always been very interested in this kind of gold, I just want to buy it and keep it as a family heirloom, hehe..."

Todo stared at the gold-coated copper shell with great interest.

Fujido himself is a collector, and he has dabbled in all kinds of things in China, especially this one, which is very rare in the world and still maintains its original brilliance.

This coin must not be missed!
Even if he buys it, he will not suffer any loss.

This thing, no matter where it is, is a very precious thing. At the same time, gold itself is a hard currency.It can also be handed over to the auction in the future, and if those sellers bid, he can get a higher profit difference in the end.

"5000 million!"

Fujido directly bid without hesitation, and the price was almost several times higher.

This price immediately made many people regret giving up on this gold-coated copper shell.

"Fifty million!" Li Heng raised his hand and continued.

This gold-coated copper shell is very precious in terms of historical significance and research significance. It would be too wasteful for something of this research value not to fall into the hands of the Chinese.

Being traded as a commodity by those people... What's the use of not returning to Huaxia in the end?
"6000 million!"

Fujido did not back down in the slightest, and directly increased the price by 900 million, which further explained to everyone his determination to buy this gold-clad copper shell.

Master Liu stroked his beard, watching the back and forth bidding between Li Heng and Fujitang, his eyes flickered.

As for Li Heng, although Master Liu didn't say he was particularly familiar with him, he definitely knew his character better than the strangers present here.

Let's not talk about whether Li Heng himself is very interested in this kind of ancient coins, but whether Li Heng has so much money to pay for the payment is a question.

When he thought of this, Li Heng raised the price again: "Sixty-one million!"

Seeing Li Heng forcing him to clench his teeth, Fujitang secretly clenched his teeth angrily.

He glared at Li Heng bitterly.

What's going on with this guy?Why were you at odds with yourself from the beginning?As long as it is something he likes, he will keep raising the price, even buying the item at a price higher than the market price...

This is no longer just stupidity to explain, at first he could just think that the other party likes this, and simply buy it at a random price.

Now the second thing is... To put it bluntly, I want to fight him to the end!

In this case, then he will play with this kid and fight to the end.

Let's see who can beat who!
Master Liu narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Heng, and then at Zhang Minglan.

These two people have a nonchalant expression on their faces, one is the feeling that the price is really about to be auctioned, and the other is that as the auctioneer, he is privately entangled with the bottom buyer and has nothing to do with himself. .

But this little girl Zhang Minglan, she has a bad habit.

Although she looked like she didn't care about anyone at all, the hands underneath her were constantly rubbing. When she was nervous, her thumb and index finger would rub back and forth to relieve her anxiety and tension.

These two people have a bit of a story.

Even if there is no story, there must be some agreement that cannot be told outside.

This agreement seems to be specially designed to target this man named Fujido.

Master Liu, as an old man who has lived for dozens of years, suddenly knew something in his mind. Since it was Li Heng and Zhang Minglan who wanted to secretly make an agreement to deal with this man, of course he couldn't just stand by and help them finish this scene well. If the performance continues, if this shrewd man in Fujido finds out later, they really can't bear it and walk away.

"7000 million!"

In the environment that had been quiet for a long time, a voice suddenly appeared.

Master Liu put down his hand and stroked his beard.

When I got here, I spent 7000 million to buy it back. If I resold it, how much room would there be for appreciation? Even if it was in hard currency, there wouldn't be much room for appreciation.

At least for now, this is indeed true, but after all, the market is still volatile, there will be no today, and it may not be tomorrow.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look over, and put their eyes on the old master Liu who was there.

"What do you want me to do, I can only let them call the price for fun, and don't allow me, a rough old man, to get involved?" Master Liu laughed and found a random reason.

Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard it. They were so fierce in shouting prices, how could they call prices for fun?

Looking at Mr. Liu, his eyes became filled with admiration... Even Liu Guangming, who was recognized as a wealthy man, probably didn't have the courage to get involved.

"I said, are you really asking for a price?" Liu Guangming next to him laughed and winked at Li Heng.

Li Heng shook his head, explaining that he was not just playing casually.

Of course he could also see that what Mr. Liu said was all made up, but he actually wanted to help him talk.

However, Li Heng had to admit that it would be much better for Mr. Liu to buy this thing than to have it taken away as a birthday gift for an islander like Tengtang.

"One hundred million!"

Just when everyone believed that Master Liu's price was the highest so far and he could successfully take down the gold-coated copper shell, Fujido spoke again.

But the bid was [-] million, which obviously reached Todo's limit.

He almost gritted his teeth to call out this price. If the other party, old and young, added a little more, he would not follow it no matter what.

"That's the last time, 100 million!"

Without any hesitation, Li Heng bit Fujitang's tail and continued to follow the price.

The expression on Fujitang's face changed a few times, and after a long while, he finally let out a long breath, and instead laughed, without any look of anger: "Since Mr. Li cares so much about this gold-coated copper shell, as the old saying goes, A gentleman does not take away people's love, so I will give it to Mr. Li."
