Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 290 Back to school

  Li Mo and Shilao walked for half an hour before returning to the courtyard. I learned from my mother that the master is getting tired from the long-distance car ride because of his age.

   "Mom, is Master okay?"

   "It's okay, just tired. They live in a new house over there in Yanjiao. Your master also told you not to run back and forth to see them when you come back, and rest at home first."

   "Then I will go to visit Master in two days."

  The meals for lunch are quite sumptuous, and most of them are Li Mo's favorite dishes. Before I finished lunch, I received a call from Professor Zhu Changping, asking him if something happened when he came back early?

   Li Mo originally wanted to go to school to look for him tomorrow. Since he got wind of it first, he would go there in the afternoon. It happened that I was going to meet Professor Qu and his wife as well, and they needed their help to identify the recovered Western art.

   "Come back for dinner at night, grandma will make you spicy sausage, and garlic crayfish that are already on the market."

   "Come back after talking with Professor Zhu."

   Li Mo readily agreed that this is the life he most yearns for.

  At 1:30 in the afternoon, Li Mo walked into the Faculty Building, where several professors from the History Department gathered to discuss something, and the atmosphere was lively.

   "Li Mo, didn't you go to London? Returning to China so soon, the antique maintenance work there is not going well?"

  A professor saw Li Mo walking into the office, and immediately waved to him, and the other professors who were discussing work turned their heads to look.

   "Hello, professors."

  Zhu Changping took him a bottle of mineral water from the desk and asked, "Your phone is beeping. Is there any accident at work in London?"

Li Mo sat down on the chair and sighed: "The work is going on normally, but the people in the British Museum are a little bit cold towards the expert group, as if we insisted on getting together, with our hot faces sticking to their cold butts, I feel very upset .”

   "Why did the attitude over there change suddenly? Something must have happened that we don't know about. Bureau Qin didn't communicate with that side?"

  Professor Zhu felt that this matter was a bit strange. The news of Li Mo's return to China was revealed by his superiors, and he asked him to ask Li Mo carefully what happened.

"I really don't know the specifics." Li Mo saw several big professors looking at him with disbelief, and said with a smile, "I really don't know. This is not the reason why I returned to China. It was because I was in London. I found some antiques over there, and they were already being watched over there, fearing that those antiques would be intercepted, so I urgently chartered a flight back."

  As soon as they heard that he had found an antique there, the professors showed a look of sudden realization. At this moment, Professor Zhu frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of antique did you find that you will be picked up by someone?"

  I can’t explain this matter in a sentence or two. Li Mo just said: "Nearly sixty pieces of authentic porcelain, three national treasures, and some Western artworks were found."

   Several professors looked at each other, this kid could not have copied other people's old background, so he was targeted.

   "Li Mo, what are the three national treasures you are talking about?" Professor Zhang coughed lightly, and he took a sip of green tea from his cup.

   "A tiger talisman with wrong silver inscriptions, a pair of Jin Ou Yonggu cups from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and a five-clawed dragon vat from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty."

  Puff, Professor Zhang spit out a mouthful of water, coughing violently.

  All the professors in the office are not calm anymore. No matter which antiques these three items are, they are definitely rare treasures. Especially the last Ming Yongle five-claw dragon tank, it seems that there is no such collection in China.

   Especially the five-clawed dragon pattern, it must be for the emperor.

   Only then did they guess the real reason why Li Mo returned home early.

  Those treasures are stored in the underground treasure house of the Guyunxuan Museum. Li Mo hasn't sorted them out yet, so he changed the subject and asked, "Teacher, has the excavation work on Yunshan stopped?"

"The first phase of work has been completed. There are too many Neolithic pottery unearthed in the early stage. It will take a long time to sort out and register them all. In addition, the Yunshan Cultural Site Museum has not yet been rebuilt, so many pottery are also unearthed. There is no place to store it, so after the completion of the first phase, the work will be suspended temporarily, and the excavation time of the second phase will be discussed later.”

   "That's fine, when the research on ancient characters will officially start, I will also participate in the study."

   "The preliminary research work has already started, but there is not enough manpower, and the progress is relatively slow."

  Li Mo chatted with several professors in the conference room for half an hour, then left.

  Professor Qu and his wife are in the art college. Li Mo asked several people to find their office, and only Professor Qu was there.

   "Hello, Professor Qu."

Hearing the sound, Professor Qu looked up, quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Take a seat, I thought you would come to me tomorrow. Qu Yang said that you bought a lot of Western oil paintings and some sculptures in London. I am still wondering what kind of masterpiece you will find."

"I'm not afraid of Professor Qu's jokes. My knowledge of Western art is very shallow. The art that I bought just felt a little different when I saw it at first glance, so I bought it without thinking too much. No, I'm here You have come for help."

"In the domestic antique industry, your ability to appraise treasures can be said to be second to none. I believe in your eyesight, and there is a high probability that those Western artworks brought back will also have artworks with very high artistic value. When is it convenient for you to look, we two People arrange time to go and have a look.”

   "Can you do it tomorrow morning?"

  Li Mo didn't want to delay either. If those things were normal, he wouldn't need to store treasures underground. Waste of space in library.

"Can."

   "Then I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

   After making an appointment with Professor Qu, Li Mo went home, took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes. He lay on the sofa and twisted his **** comfortably a few times, feeling the best at home.

Didi, San Pang called, Li Mo had just connected when he heard an excited and frantic voice from the opposite side: "Brother, my dear brother, I heard that you bought dozens of pieces from London this time." Genuine porcelain. Brother, if you want to deal with some of the porcelain, brother, I will go up the knife mountain and down the oil pan, and I will throw my head and blood for you, I"

  The fat man became more and more unreliable, Li Mo hurriedly stopped him and said, "The news spread so fast?"

"Who doesn't know the news in the upper circles in Kyoto now? I also heard that you found a five-clawed dragon tank from Ming Yongle in London. How about inviting all those who have money to bid here?"

   "Stop, stop, stop, don't worry about my imperial vat. As for the ordinary porcelain, I will deliver it to you after I select it. The spring auction is over, and the autumn auction will definitely be able to catch up."

   "Good brother, enough buddy."

   "Be quiet first, I just have something to ask you. I still have a batch of Western artworks in my hand. If they have some provenance after appraisal, do you have the ability to operate and invite those rich people from abroad to come to participate in the auction?"

  Niu Sanpang on the phone paused for a moment before asking: "Brother, are you sure?"

   "No, this is not to say hello to you in advance, let you be mentally prepared."

   "When will there be results?"

   "Just two or three days."

"Okay, let me first consult with people in the industry to see how the current market conditions of Western art are. Brother, if you have any news, contact me immediately. By the way, I almost forgot more important things, Nan Guang Wu The large-scale jade fair at the end of the month is about to start, do you want to participate?"
