Chapter 309: Ways to Make Money in Foreign Countries

Zhang Yang knows that serious tomb robbers cannot draw topographic maps.

People like Cheng Zongwen always keep the terrain in mind.

Looking at the topographic map composed of a bunch of contour lines, can you tell where there are tomb passages?

Therefore, the acting skills of the tomb robber in front of me, who claims to have been in prison and came to visit, are a bit poor.

However, this man still had some knowledge. The main contents of Qianling Mausoleum were clearly marked on the map he took out.

"Don't shake your hands and give us a good look."

Zhang Yang couldn't see the words on the map clearly and was a little anxious.

What is the standard thing in front of the tomb passage?

"What's so interesting about the topographic map? Can't I just introduce it to you on the ground?"

Baoyou put away the map and turned the camera to face a wide road in front of him.

"Well, this is the Sima Road of Qianling. There are dozens of stone statues on both sides, and there is a Chinese watch at the front."

Sima Road, also known as Shinto Road, is actually the carriage road that leads to the tomb.

The rulers of feudal dynasties often had illusions, thinking that the country was stable and the dynasty could last for thousands of years, so they wanted to leave such a road for future generations to worship.

It is said that when the Mongols dug the tomb of the Song Dynasty emperor, they found the entrance to the tomb based on Sima Dao.

"Take us to see Huabiao!"

Zhang Yang is quite curious about what a Chinese watch from the Tang Dynasty looked like.

"I just came from there. I really can't go there. It's too far."

"Let's just look at the tomb."

Baoyou turned around and focused the camera on the hill that appeared at the beginning.

Since it is said to be Qianling, Zhang Yang knows that this small hill is naturally Liangshan.

Liangshan is not an ordinary mound of sealed earth. It is a natural stone mountain. Qianling Mausoleum was excavated in the stone mountain.

Now it has become a scenic spot. Visitors can climb along the mountain road to the top of Liangshan Mountain and enjoy the scenery on top of the tombs of Li Zhi and his wife.

"Didn't the anchor just tell me where the entrance to the tomb passage is?"

"I know it without you having to tell me, it's right there!" Baoyou said, pointing to a forest halfway up the mountain.

[I suspect this person is Qianling’s tour guide, here to divert traffic]

[I have climbed this mountain before, and it was full of cameras, making it impossible to dig]

[Can I ask him directly about the excavation plan?]

[What is there to talk about when everyone knows about the Qianling Tomb Road]

Zhang Yang felt that what the barrage said made sense.

"Just tell me how you want to dig. There are experts in the live broadcast room who can help you analyze whether the plan is feasible."

"Really? Then I will tell you?"

Baoyou pretended to take out the topographic map just now.

This time, he clicked on a point on the map, which was a small house next to Qianling Sima Road.

"According to the secret knowledge my master taught me, this place is the best starting point to dig into Qianling Mausoleum from underneath."

"Just keep digging along this line..."

Baoyou drew a line on the map, leading directly to the bottom of Liangshan Mountain.

"Then, you can enter the tomb from the bottom of the underground palace."

"There are 500 tons of gold, silver and jewelry in there. You can make a fortune directly."

"Ah?" Zhang Yang suspected that the other party was from the mentally retarded bar.

"Friend Bao, let's put aside the matter of 500 tons of gold and silver for a moment. Let's confirm first. Do you have a construction permit for digging a subway under Doliang Mountain?"

Zhang Yangxin said that a tunnel of several hundred meters should be dug underground. What is it if it is not a subway?

"Hello? Baoyou?"

"Damn! He just ran away. He can't really be Qianling's tour guide."

Zhang Yang shook his head disdainfully, saying he was a coward and boring.

[Anchor anchor, Jaylen is going to collaborate with Christie’s on an auction, did you know? 】

"Ah? Don't you make money from singing and releasing albums now?" Zhang Yang scratched his head.

If everyone in the entertainment industry comes to the antiques industry, then your living space will be squeezed.

[I heard that the auctions are all oil paintings, which are quite valuable]

“I don’t understand oil painting!”

Zhang Yang was afraid that he would be a master of collecting oil paintings later, and he would be fooled on a whim, so he quickly expressed his position:

"I don't understand modern painting art, I don't understand it at all."

[I don’t understand this, I don’t understand that. What kind of treasure appraisal anchor do you want to be? 】

"Then if you want to say that...I only look at Picasso and Van Gogh, other painters are a little bit behind."

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and realized that the authenticity of the works of these two painters could be basically determined by looking at their age.

[Excuse me, what is the antique that the anchor is best at identifying? 】

"I'm good at appraising antiques that are not calligraphy and paintings."

As soon as he finished speaking, Youbaoyou sent an application for continuous wheat.

The other party came up and said:

"Teacher, I'm here to identify calligraphy and paintings."

"Okay, okay, let's play like this. Come on, take it out and let us see."

"This is it."

Baoyou took out a glass plaque with a yellow calligraphy work framed inside.

A more accurate description would be: a yellowish imperial edict.

The imperial edict is surrounded by patterns of soaring dragons and auspicious clouds. There are ten dragons in total, forming a rectangle, and the text of the imperial edict is written inside the rectangle.

The entire imperial edict was divided into two parts from the middle, with Manchu characters on the left and Chinese characters on the right.

The content of the imperial edict is:

[Edict of the Emperor, Dingbian Left Deputy General Gong Mianzuo...]

It can be seen from the word "imperial edict" that this is a letter of appointment appointing Ulyasutai to the position of general.

The person who received the official title was Aixinjueluo Mianzuo, a member of the Qing Dynasty clan.

The inscription of the imperial edict is: [9th day of December in the fourth year of Jiaqing]

"Friend Bao, how much did it cost to photograph this thing?"

Zhang Yang looked at the year of the imperial edict and found that 1799 happened to be the fourth year of Jiaqing.

Authenticity is no problem.

As a piece of paper, it is not easy for a Qing Dynasty imperial edict to be preserved as it is now.

Zhang Yang even suspected that Baoyou was a descendant of Mianzuo.

He secretly looked at the other party's IP, which was Germany.

Well, it's more like, maybe he is a descendant of the Qing royal family who went abroad.

"It didn't cost a penny. It was a gift from a foreign friend."

Baoyou smiled happily.

Obviously being able to show off the good things you bought for zero dollars in front of everyone can double your happiness.

"No, why should I give it to you?"

Zhang Yang doesn't believe that there is such a thing as free gift unless Baoyou pays other price besides money.

That must be it!

"Because international friends are kind-hearted!" Baoyou explained vaguely.

"Why don't you give it to the country if you are kind-hearted?" Zhang Yang asked.

"That would be too troublesome. He would have to go through political channels to send him back to our country, and he might also be scolded by people he knows as having a brain problem."

"But donating it to a museum opened by local Chinese people is different...hehehehe."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yang seemed to understand Baoyou's trick: "You mean to open a museum abroad to display Chinese cultural relics and attract local tourists."

"In this way, we can catch those wealthy people from abroad who like to donate things, or some capital tycoons who hope to earn fame by donating things, and then get the cultural relics donated by them for free?"

"I didn't say that."

Baoyou was still laughing and didn’t stop from beginning to end.

That's what he meant.

"Are you ready to run away now?" Zhang Yang asked.

If someone on the Internet suddenly tells you a way to make money, there are generally only two possibilities:

First, this method can no longer make money, and I plan to rely on training and other things to cut leeks;

The other is to make enough money already, so simply expose the method and make it more difficult for previous competitors.

It seems that Baoyou should be in the second category, because this Jiaqing imperial edict and this kind of appearance are worth at least a million.

"If we run away, if we don't run away, the local government will start to use value-added tax on art to harvest us."

"Good guys, you also enjoy tax benefits?"

Zhang Yang called Niu Bi directly.

To set up such a "trap" museum, there is no need to have real things in the museum.

As long as the venue is big enough and the reputation is good, it will be fine. As for the collection, I can buy some high-quality imitations from Hedong Group.

"Is there anything valuable you can show us?"

"Yes, I have."

Baoyou smiled and took out a wooden box, which seemed to be quite old.

After pulling out the cover, a golden copper lock was revealed inside.

The body of the lock is engraved with a pattern of two dragons playing with beads, which is very exquisite.

"The copper lock used by Emperor Qianlong?" Zhang Yang asked tentatively.

"The teacher has really good taste."

Baoyou flipped the lock, and the bottom was displayed in front of the camera. On it were engraved with six regular characters "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" in Yang script.

【Wow, I miss Runde too】

[You have to go to a foreign country to make money, it’s so hard to deceive Chinese people]

[This is a conspiracy, and those who wish will take the bait]

[How much is the royal copper lock worth? 】

"The starting price for a single piece of such a copper lock is basically around 1.2 million, and the transaction price is doubled."

"The six characters 'Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty' engraved on it are worth an average of one hundred thousand each."

In fact, even if there is no money, as soon as the double dragons playing with pearls pattern is taken out, it is not far away from the imperial use.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhang Yang asked for Baoyou in the live broadcast room.

I have no other intention, I just want to see how much money this person has cheated.

Just in case someone wants to follow suit, I have some confidence in my mind.

"These are the only two items that cost more than one million. Foreigners are also very stingy, and there are a lot of items that cost hundreds of thousands."

"How many are there?"

"Less than a hundred."

"more specific!"

"I really can't be specific, and we don't know how to estimate it. I can only say that based on Christie's auction prices in the past ten years, we should have about 80 treasures worth more than 100,000 yuan."

That’s at least eight million dollars!

Zhang Yang seems to have seen a broad road leading to wealth.

"Excluding things other than calligraphy and painting, is there anything worth showing to everyone?"

He plans to send this slice to Chen Yanguang after finishing the live broadcast today.

Let Mr. Chen and Mr. Cheng consider together to incubate several museums overseas.

The museum can display fakes and collect tickets, sell fakes to make money, and at the same time accept donations of genuine items from local wealthy people.

If your side wins three times, it is referred to as three wins.

"Don't you want calligraphy and painting? Let me take a look."

Baoyou turned the camera and saw suitcases all over the floor.

It seems that he is really packing up and preparing to run away. No wonder Lian Mai is so confident. After all, it is impossible for the German police to squat in Master Zhang's live broadcast room.

"Have you seen the armor of the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty? An old French lady donated it. She said it was brought back from China by an elder of her husband's family."

"Isn't that the descendant of the coalition army?"

Zhang Yang looked at the comments on the barrage, and they all said "Don't look at the Tatars' clothes".

"For someone else, are there any treasures that everyone is more familiar with? For a post-00 generation like me, if I don't look at Huanzhugege, I don't know whether the Eight Banners Army wears clothes or not."

"Is it more familiar?" Baoyou hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then let me show you a Kunkun."

Zhang Yang:? ? ?

Baoyou took out a ceramic wine flask under the "Lawyer's Letter Warning" that filled the live broadcast room.

The shape is a colorful hen.

The beak of the hen is hollow and serves as the outlet for pouring wine from the flagon;

The tail at the end is downward, connected to the belly of the chicken, and used as the handle of the wine flask;

The most wonderful design of the wine flask lid is placed on the back of the hen, and the lid is made into the shape of a chicken.

A hen carries chicks on its back. It is difficult for people without some life experience to think of such a design.

"This was donated by an old man from Germany. I heard that I bought it at a domestic antique market in the early years."

"That uncle came really early." Zhang Yang commented.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to buy such an authentic product.

"This is a colorful animal-themed hip flask from the mid-Guangxu period. You said it's worth 100,000... That's ridiculous. It's about 80,000."

"Is it from Guangxu? I thought it was produced two and a half years ago."

"Remember to bring your broken wine flask with you when the court is held." Zhang Yang reminded Baoyou with a smile.

Because Baoyou was in a hurry to pack his things and catch the train, the remaining treasures were only glanced at by the brothers who led the live broadcast room.

Then he slipped away.

After Baoyou disconnected the microphone, Zhang Yang took advantage of the heat to mentally calculate the total value of the collection just now.

"Excluding the two large items with a starting price of one million, there are dozens of items left, which add up to thirteen to four million."

"The main reason is that porcelain is valuable. A single piece of Kangxi's hammer vase costs half a million."

When Zhang Yang said this, he actually felt a little weird in his heart.

Donating imperial edicts, copper locks, and armor from the Qing army are all very reasonable.

But there are also large pieces of porcelain from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty?

This kind of porcelain is a hard currency in antique collecting circles around the world. Will anyone really donate it?

Anyway, if he were to be a businessman who wanted to gain fame, he would also be donating typical burial objects such as bronzes and pottery figurines.

He was probably showing off his own collection to show off, Zhang Yang thought.

[Is it feasible to open a museum abroad? I'm in Australia】

"Forget it about Australia. When did that place become civilized? How can anyone collect antiques?"

[Don’t be embarrassed, there are Maori people in New Zealand]

"Then there are still primitive people in the Pacific island countries. We are talking about civilization."

[Can the anchor accept the continuous microphone? I'm in a hurry! 】

Zhang Yang saw this barrage and immediately looked at the background application.

Sure enough, there is an account who is in a hurry to connect to the wheat, and has already spent 100 yuan to expedite it.

Although he was the only one waiting for Lian Mai.

Zhang Yang quickly clicked to accept:

"Brother, I'm sorry. Just message me privately later and I'll give you back the money you paid for jumping in line."

"No, I'm here to explain."

Baoyou was out of breath and seemed very excited.

"Just now, the man who opened the museum in Munich is a liar!"

"Ah? What did he lie to you about?"

"An antique, what else could it be?"

Baoyou pointed the camera at a blue and white mallet bottle.

Zhang Yang recognized it at a glance. It was produced in Jingdi Town and imitated from the Kangxi official kiln.

It is somewhat similar to the one displayed by my friend who opened the museum just now, but not exactly the same.

"Just this one, that person used their museum collection to trade it with me."

"In the end, they gave me a fake one, but they didn't admit it afterwards."

"Is there such a thing? You didn't call the police?"

"It's useless. He used money to bribe local high-ranking officials, and no one cared about it at all." Baoyou was very angry.

"That's okay, you can go back to China and sue him." Zhang Yang offered a helping hand.

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, you can join the fan group. The Ninth Elder (Captain Liu) in our group has just updated "Preventing and Controlling Cultural Relics Fraud (Overseas)"."
