Chapter 344 Treasure Hunting Expert?

What is so expensive? Are you sure it's not money laundering?

Zhang Yang looked at several auctions with transaction records. They were basically held in Southeast Asia, Malay, Slope County and other places.

He suddenly felt that there was another possibility.

Since the late Southern Song Dynasty, people from ancient China have immigrated to Southeast Asia. By the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, more than 100,000 Chinese had immigrated there, and even established a country called Lanfang.

Therefore, although some ancient people's secret recipes for using blood Ganoderma were lost in China, they have been passed down over there, which seems to make sense.

It’s unlikely that anyone would be willing to spend millions to take pictures of blood reishi, but they don’t even know how to use it.

"Zhang Yang, look at the barrage and reply to them. They are urging you."

Captain Liu's words brought Zhang Yang back from his thoughts.

[Ape God, have you lost your soul? What are you doing?]

【? ? ? 】

"I found it. This kind of blood Ganoderma lucidum has a market price of 70,000 yuan per gram."

Zhang Yang couldn't figure out the details of these people, so he chose to tell the truth. If he was questioned, at least he could slap the auction records on their faces.

The news he got from Captain Liu was that the young anchor who had been arrested actually had no knowledge of treasure appraisal and was basically playing a matchmaking role.

What you earn is also "agency fee".

It's just that his fees are a little higher than those of ordinary antique agencies. After all, he takes risks.

"How many did you say?"

The tomb robber at the other end of the video was smoking. After hearing what Zhang Yang said, his hand shook and the ashes almost fell on the blood Ganoderma lucidum.

He was visibly panicked and put his phone on the table.

When he picked up the phone again, he had already put the piece of blood Ganoderma into the box, with a lot of toilet paper underneath.

The attitude towards it is completely different.

"For such a valuable thing, can you tell me earlier next time? It's 70,000 yuan per gram. If my cigarette ash breaks even one or two grams, it will hammer my head so hard that I won't be able to smoke for half a year." The tomb robber was still frightened. said.

Old Time 123: [Nonsense, 70,000 yuan per gram, isn’t that 100 times more expensive than gold? 】

The most handsome moment lasts only three seconds: [Does this thing have another name? The price you mentioned reminds me of someone]

"What's your question? Ape God." The tomb robber asked Zhang Yang again.

"Blood Ganoderma, Coffin Fungus, Human Head Fungus, Counterpart Fungus, Dragon Coffin Fungus, these names all refer to it."

Zhang Yang read it according to the script, but to his surprise, this "most handsome man only lasts three seconds" remembered relevant things.

She took the initiative to apply to join Lianmai. Judging from the scene in her video, she should be in a luxury hotel room.

"I'm too tired to type. Let me just speak."

"Do you still remember that before, I mentioned a treasure hunting expert from Xiangjiang who specializes in finding treasures for overseas Chinese?"

"Remember," the tomb robber recalled quickly, "The jade belt buckle from the Han Dynasty that I dug out before, with a dragon carved on it, was introduced by you. The Ape God helped me sell it to him."

Zhang Yang blinked after hearing this and thought to himself, why didn't I know?

Captain Liu didn't speak in the earphones and just fell silent, which left Zhang Yang speechless for a while.

After trading cultural relics from the Han Dynasty, such crucial information was not asked?

If you really can't, go to the Tiger Bench and have a trial.

Old Time 123: [I also remember, that person’s name was Lao Zhou, right? The requirements are very demanding, and there is no need for any earthy soil on the jade belt buckle]

"Yes, that's Lao Zhou." The woman agreed, "He seemed to have mentioned to me half a year ago that there was a wealthy Chinese man from Malaysia who had terminal cancer and wanted to find a medicine called Dragon Coffin Fungus."

"I had heard of the Kowloon coffin puller at that time, but I didn't know what the dragon coffin fungus was. I also asked him if the rich man was old and confused, or was he talking?"

"I'll blanch it! So, isn't this thing like me taking off?"

The tomb robber pointed at the coffin fungus in the box, and you could already hear how happy he was in his tone.

But "Sister Three Seconds" immediately poured cold water on it.

"Half a year has passed, and the cancer rich man may have died."

"You say you're already a rich man. It's only been half a year, and you can't leave so quickly even if you have a tube inserted." The tomb robber comforted himself and said, "Hurry up and help me contact Lao Zhou, the ape god."

Why did you cue me again...

Zhang Yang was innocent. Fortunately, Captain Liu's voice came from the earphones:

"Zhang Yang, you think of a way to delay them for a while. I'm going to interrogate that kid now."

They finally remembered there was a suspect they could question.

"Okay." Zhang Yang answered both Captain Liu and the tomb robber.

"You guys continue talking about yourselves. I'll look for the records. I can't remember what happened so long ago."

"Okay." Sister Sanmiao was very proud of Zhang Yang and followed his words, "Then let's take a look at Brother Shiguang's goods first?"

"Then I'll play first. Time, you can connect wheat."

Were there originally two sellers? Just that one female buyer.

Zhang Yangxin said, this group of people are really cautious, they only call each other by their online names.

No wonder the kid who was arrested basically didn't give any useful information.

He probably doesn't even know whether his online is a boy or a girl.

I'm afraid this is why they are not afraid of trouble and want to communicate in the live broadcast room. It is very safe.

Who in the right mind would imagine that in such a nook and cranny, someone would do bad things in the live broadcast room?

Soon, "Brother Time" also connected online.

The lighting on his side is a bit dim, as if the lighting is still using traditional incandescent lamps. The interior wall of the house in the background of the video is also the old red brick wall in the countryside.

This environment is a bit like rural tomb robbers.

He has more temperament than the construction site guy just now.

"We've been very lucky recently." Brother Shiguang chuckled, "We've been digging a lot."

As he spoke, he showed the camera to a pile of unearthed cultural relics on the table.

"Sister, you told us not to wash it with water before. We really didn't wash it this time. After we dug it out, we put it in the house to dry in the shade. Look at the soil on it. It was all brought from the graves. It's guaranteed to be original. .”

"You are really... very smart." Sister Sanmiao sighed, with a complicated tone, "You can't wash it with water, you can use a dry brush."

"Ah? Sister, why didn't you tell me this earlier? To be honest, our team has been doing this for three or four years, and I have never seen you being so demanding."

"I'm demanding because the money I give is high." Sister Sanmiao said very straightforwardly, and turned the person back, "Don't forget, even Xiao Yuan is mine. Without this platform, what can you do? Is it so safe to ship?”

"Xiao Yuan, do you think so?"

Zhang Yang has been pretending to play with his mobile phone, waiting for Captain Liu's reply, and of course he is also listening to the chat between the two people in the live broadcast room.

Hearing that he was mentioned again, he quickly replied:

"Yes, yes, sister, I have been yours for a long time."

"Zhuo, don't disgust me." Sister Sanmiao said with disgust, "Forget it, let's do this for now. I will ask Xiao Yuan to clean the things before shipping."

Does this kind of thing also require the "ape god" to do?

Zhang Yang suddenly felt that the young man in the next room was also having a hard time. He had done illegal things, and he was still being manipulated like a cow and a horse.

At the other end of the video, Brother Time began to show what he dug out.

Zhang Yang glanced twice and probably had an idea in his mind.

You can see a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the surface, as well as some pottery pots, pottery figurines, etc. There are no big metal objects, only a copper mirror.

There is no sign of porcelain at all.

As expected from the arrangement of the funerary objects, this should be from a Ming Dynasty tomb.

In the tombs of the Song Dynasty a little further back, porcelain dishes and dishes were basically not missing as funerary objects. At that time, the ceramic handicraft industry was developed, and the majority of the buried utensils were porcelain for daily necessities;

In the future tombs of the Qing Dynasty, there will be a lot more jade objects and daily necessities, such as clothes, hats, shoes, etc., and some people will put books in them.

Zhang Yang believes that the tomb robbers will not let go of every stitch in the tomb.

They did not take off the clothes of the corpse, so it was most likely completely decomposed, which is also in line with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty tombs.

Just when the tomb robbers and buyers were about to look at the items one by one, Captain Liu's voice came from Zhang Yang's headphones:

"Zhang Yang, we found out that the man named Zhou speaks with an accent from Guangdong Province, and his English name is Jason."

"The delivery address of the things is in Xiangjiang. We can't find the information there for the time being. We only found Jason's contact information from the kid's phone. Please take a look."

Zhang Yang was originally contacting this old Zhou as requested by several bosses, so he could look at his phone with great peace of mind.

Copy the phone number and enter it into the dial pad for later use...

Eh? I actually have call records for this number.

Wait, Jason Zhou, isn’t that Detective Zhou from Christie’s?

Zhang Yang suddenly remembered an old thing.

When he attended an auction in Xiangjiang before, he once asked Jason if there was anything he wanted to auction.

The other party replied: He had already seen all the lots before the auction started, because he had also accepted private commissions from some wealthy people. If there was a treasure that met the requirements, he could get it no matter how much the price was.

This time it's all right.

Jason Zhou is Lao Zhou, and he is the man who helps Malaysian Chinese rich people find blood Ganoderma lucidum.

"I found Lao Zhou's contact information." Zhang Yang couldn't wait to tell the two people in the video.

"You..." Sister Sanmiao almost cursed after being interrupted, but she still held it back, "Don't be in a hurry now that you've found it, it's not like I want to sell him anything."

"You first go through these things with me and time."

"Okay, sister." Zhang Yang replied obediently.

Look at the funerary objects, he was so good at it.

The tomb robber named Brother Shiguang continued to introduce his harvest.

When Zhang Yang listened to the information given by Captain Liu, the pottery was almost introduced, but the price given by the female buyer was not high, and Brother Shiang was not very satisfied.

When I spoke now, I felt a little lackluster, and my tone was very lazy:

"Look at these pieces of jewelry for yourselves and see if any of them are valuable."

Zhang Yang couldn't wait to see this, so he quickly looked at it.

The owner of the tomb should be a woman, and her status is not low, at least she is a rich person.

Just look at the earrings she was buried with.

The two lantern-shaped silver gilt earrings are very exquisite, perhaps even more exquisite than the large lanterns.

The only problem is that the earrings are a bit too thick. When Zhang Yang thinks about such thick hooks hanging on his ears, his scalp goes numb.

In addition to earrings, there are also rings, which are made of pure gold and inlaid with red and blue gemstones. They look very noble.

These two items were made in the 13th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and should be a set.

Zhang Yang conservatively estimated that the total value should be no problem at 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.

This does not include the potential bonus of "the identity of the tomb owner".

"These earrings are nice, but they are not made of pure gold. I can give you three thousand."

"The ring is a little short, so I'll give you two thousand three."

Sister Sanmiao quickly gave a quote.

Zhang Yang wanted to cut him off after hearing this.

Sure enough, when it comes to collecting antiques, the wholesale price from the source is the most cost-effective.

Could this be the reason why tomb robberies continue to be banned? Because if you sell things from the underground at this price, you will never have to worry about selling them.

And for this price, Brother Shiguang is still saying thank you:

"Sister, you are so open-minded. I like doing business with an open-minded person like you."

"Would you like to see other jewelry?"

In addition to earrings and rings, hairpins are of course also included in burial jewelry.

Still solid gold, slightly earlier than the previous two pieces.

Zhang Yang suspected that it was a funerary object specially made before the burial, because the decoration seemed impractical.

The female buyer hasn't made an offer yet, but Zhang Yang doesn't want to hear it anymore.

It’s boring, and I don’t let myself bid.

However, these things are simply expensive and have nothing to do with "nobility".

It seems that the owner of the tomb is just an ordinary noblewoman from the Ming Dynasty. She has no official status and has nothing to do with the royal family.

The next bronze mirror confirmed Zhang Yang's idea.

The bronze mirror was very rusty, almost completely green, and the words on the back could barely be seen clearly.

It is written: Made by Xuejia, sent to Dongquan.

A simple gift mirror is most likely a practical device in front of the tomb owner, and it was brought directly into the tomb because it was used frequently.

After looking at the bronze mirror, the things for the tomb robbers are almost gone.

Although there are many pottery pots, pottery figurines, etc., they are not of high value.

The only purpose is to help Zhang Yang determine that the deceased should be buried around the 32nd year of Wanli.

Pottery figurines are generally not prepared too far in advance. It would be unfavorable to keep them at home, and the production time is generally the same as that of the tomb.

"Sister, I did the math, these things are worth more than 10,000 yuan in total."

Brother Shiguang showed the calculator in his hand, which showed "11800".

"This is just enough money for us to buy someone's ancestral grave and hire labor. We just work for nothing and don't earn a penny."

"I can't help it, we're doing business." The female buyer asked, "Do you have anything else? I'll give you some more when I see it?"

"Let me think about it..."

The tomb robber thought for a moment, squatted down and pointed the camera under the table.

There is a small bamboo basket inside, which contains many wooden furniture models.

This thing also came out of the tomb?

Zhang Yang has seen funeral furniture before, but this is the first time he has seen only palm-sized wooden furniture.

While he was appraising it, the female buyer suddenly said excitedly:

"This thing is great. Come on, take them out!"

As for what...Zhang Yang curled his lips in his heart, the blood Ganoderma lucidum is so expensive, but I can't see you getting excited.

All furniture models are placed on the table, thirteen pieces in total.

There are round stools, round hat chairs, corner cabinets, chests, thrones, desks, tables, beds, etc.

With the exception of a pair of pouf chairs, no two pieces were alike, and it was clearly a complete set.

The item information slowly emerged. After reading it, Zhang Yang opened his mouth unconsciously.

This set of models is actually made of huanghuali?

The white cushions on the bed are carved from ivory?
