Han Xuan looked while walking, and suddenly stopped a few meters away, stood next to a cupboard, looking at the items placed inside with interest.

The boss Alfred thought that business came to him and asked him: "Do you like this weapon from China?

It is made of pure gold and is inlaid with gems. It is very exquisitely crafted. Judging from the patterns engraved on it, experts have identified it as an antique of the Ming Dynasty.

This big cat eye on the handle is valuable. If you want to buy it, it only costs 400,000 US dollars. The seller allows me to make a little concession in terms of price.”

"Uh, you said this is a weapon?"

Han Xuan was immediately happy, pointing at the thing and saying, "What weapon? This is clearly a kitchen knife!

In the vegetable market in China, butchers use this kind of pig-killing knife to kill pigs and cut meat!”

“…Cookie knife can also be used as a weapon.

But you can't deny that it is really exquisitely made.

Look at this top cat eye on the hilt, it is definitely priced at more than 250,000 US dollars.

If the seller told me that this was a kitchen knife, I would definitely not sell it so cheap. After all, there are many weapons inlaid with gems, but there are not many kitchen knifes, and rare things are expensive.

Don’t miss this opportunity. I will raise the price later. This is a kitchen knife that has not been used in hundreds of years. It looks so beautiful.”

"You are indeed a natural salesman."

Han Xuan looked at the cat's eye stone at the hilt, it was indeed quite beautiful and very large, worth the price.

It is probably because of the nouveau riche in ancient times who was bored and created this thing. It is probably the emperor's style, and others are not so bored that they are so painful.

Continue saying: "Is it really an antique in the Ming Dynasty?"

"It was definitely the Ming Dynasty. I can write it on the invoice. The things here have been identified by many experts. Who dares to lie to you?"

Han Xuan asked him to open the cabinet, put on the gloves and took out the golden pig-killing knife full of the rich flavor. It was written in traditional Chinese with three small words: "Guanglu Temple".

This was the institution responsible for various banquets in the palace in the Ming Dynasty. After the Japanese lecture, the wine and meals were also handled by Guanglu Temple, and Guanglu Temple was also responsible for the sacrifices.

Of course, I wouldn’t use this type of kitchen knife when I cook, and the gold is soft, so it was more likely to be used for sacrifice at that time.

Similar antiques are rare, Han Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, I want them.

If you have such fun things in the future, remember to contact me. Apart from this knife, are there any Chinese antiques?

My museum is about to open, and I need something that can increase my influence."

“…

There is one thing, but it has been booked by someone, and he has no time to come and get it.

Does Wang Xizhi know?

The calligrapher in ancient China was sought after by his products, and he was bought by others as soon as he came."

Alfred led him to the calligraphy and painting area, pointing to a yellowed calligraphy work on the wall and said, "Wang Xizhi was a man more than 1,600 years ago. The paper cannot be preserved for so long. His original works have long disappeared, so the copies of the Tang Dynasty and the past are generally regarded as authentic works.

It is 24.5 cm long and 13.8 cm wide, with a total of four lines and forty-one words. The buyer spent $14 million on it, which is about 340,000 US dollars per word.

At that time, the seller told me that when I wanted to sell it for this price, I thought he was joking and tried to contact a few people who liked this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that the first call he made would be sold. It was so crazy.

To be honest, I don’t even know who the author is now, and the Chinese antique collection market is becoming more and more popular.”

"You should contact me first, or my grandfather can do it. I believe we will buy it at that time.

You don’t know Wang Xizhi’s status in China. People have called him… the god of writing for thousands of years.”

Han Xuan didn't know how to translate "Sage of Calligraphy", so he used this strange title instead and continued to say: "Although this is not the original work of Wang Xizhi, the author may have seen the original work at that time and copied the character according to it.

In other words, this letter should be very similar to the original version, and in my opinion it is worth so much money.

Can you tell me who bought this decorative character? I also like it very much. If I have the chance, I want to get it and collect it."

He stared carefully through the glass and found poems written by Qianlong, as well as postscripts written by famous artists such as Wen Zhengming, Wang Guxiang, Peng Nian, and Hu Rujia. Emperor Qianlong praised it back then, and even comparable to the "Quick Snow Shiqing Tie" he collected, which is a national treasure among national treasures.

The "Quick Snow Shi Qing Tie" painted from the original work of Wang Xizhi is now collected in the Palace Museum in Taipei. It is known as one of the treasures of the museum, along with Cixi's jade cabbage and Lang Shining's "Hundred Horses Pictures".

Although this "Ping'an Tie" is not as famous as the "Quick Snow Shiqing Tie" of the Palace Museum in Taipei, nor as famous as the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" rumored to be buried by Wu Zetian, it is still a rare fine product

It has been sold, and it is unruly for Han Xuan to give it to him.

But Yalfreid didn't want the big customer to be dissatisfied and nodded, saying, "The buyer is a Japanese, you may know, from the Mitsubishi family.

I will call you and ask if the other party wants to transfer it to you, then it will be yours.

But if you don't want to, sorry, I can't do it unless the seller regrets it..."

"Is the seller Chinese?

If the Mitsubishi family members don’t agree, ask the seller who they want to sell to, and I will pay the penalty for liquidated damages.”

Han Xuan's expression was slightly unhappy.

During World War II, Japan plundered more than 100,000 cultural relics from China, and some of them were transformed into Japan's national treasures.

When Westerners invaded China, they did not know what treasures were, but Japanese who were well versed in Chinese culture understood that they also took the most fine treasures.

The bronze ware of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the tigers and the man-eating sacred man-made sacs, copied Wang Xizhi's "Sang Luan Tie", the Yaobian Tianmu Tea Bowl, etc., are now hidden in Japanese museums and private collectors.

Boss Alphred works in this business and has come into contact with many Chinese people. He understands how strong the patriotic enthusiasm of Chinese people is.

Han Xuan said this, and I believe the seller would choose to sell it to Han Xuan. Since the seller regrets it, it is nothing to do with him. He smiled and said, "I will make arrangements for you, it should be fine."

Let me see again, there is a precious antique there, I think you should also like it.

It was sold by a Frenchman here. It was called "Qianlong Dayuetu". The author is the same as the bronze sculptures you want to collect recently. It is also Lang Shining, 24 meters long and more than 60 centimeters wide.

Han, I'm asking you about the whereabouts of those bronze sculptures, but unfortunately I haven't found it yet."

Just then, the sound of the elevator door opening came.

An old Chinese woman who looked about fifties, holding a black stone tablet looked around.

Yalfred laughed and said, "Ha! The seller I contacted for you has arrived!

Ms. Li! Be careful! I'll help you get it!"
Chapter completed!
