Clean and bright laboratory, looking very high-end.

Compared with the Chinese treasure appraisal experts who rely on their eyesight and experience, the United States uses detection methods that combine data and experience, which seem to be more reasonable and scientific.

It is an abnormal practice to buy fakes and be unlucky. Han Xuan always thinks that those who create unspoken rules in this industry may make a living by selling fake antiques, otherwise how can they cheat people?

There are so many fish-like things that he bought some fakes in China some time ago, but he still has no choice but to say what he has to do.

We can ask government departments for help, but in that way, our reputation in the collection circle will be ruined. They will definitely not tolerate unsociable people...

A young man in a white coat dipped a cotton swab in an unknown solution, wiped it back and forth on the stone tablet, then changed into a cotton swab, and repeated the movement just now in another place.

Put two cotton swabs into the test tubes, cover the lid and shake it hard. We will use them to analyze the age of microorganisms and moss on the stone tablet later.

Afterwards, the stone tablet was moved to another machine. Boss Alfreid told Han Xuan: "This machine is the latest developed and can be used to conduct damage-free inspection of this stone tablet with ultrasound.

Using ultrasonic waves to quantitatively detect internal crack defects and their weathering degree, not only can we detect the direction and development degree of internal cracks, but also can judge the weathering degree and intensity based on the characteristics of the sound waves, and obtain the approximate age..."

I don't understand it very much, but it seems to be very professional.

Han Xuan waited bored for a while, and now he came to the corridor and took out his cell phone and called his old man.

It was almost evening, and the sky was gloomy and accompanied by the rumbling thunder, a thunderstorm was coming.

Through the phone, the old man's voice came, and he laughed and said, "Today is the wedding anniversary of your grandmother and I, and I am now having dinner in your dad's restaurant.

I heard that this big blue lobster on the table belongs to you? It is well-raised."

"...I'll forget if you don't say it, and I'll help me send it to the Monterey Bay Aquarium exhibition."

The blue lobster was a rare mutant blue lobster bought by the restaurant manager from fishermen a few years ago. It has been kept in the Meet restaurant on the Avenue of Stars.

I saw it when I had dinner with Murdoch last time. The shrimps from that year have grown into big lobsters and look very beautiful.

Han Xuan was interrupted by the old man and almost forgot what he was going to say. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, I should give you a gift."

I'm at the Manhattan Antique Trading Center, and you can't guess what the seller wants to take."

"No need to worry, your mother's birthday, remember to help me and your grandma pick gifts.

What does he want to sell? Could it be that it is the porcelain of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty?"

The porcelain produced in the five kilns of Jun kilns, Ru kilns, Guan kilns, Ding kilns and Ge kilns are all fine products that collectors are pursuing. It is not surprising that the old man thinks of this.

Han Xuanshen said mysteriously: "It is more precious than the five famous kilns. It is a stone tablet. The seller asks for $10 million."

"Stone tablet? Ten million?"

The old man was surprised to hear the sound of the antiques on the stone tablets, which have always been sold at a low price. He has been playing with them for decades to collect them, so he naturally knew this. Then he asked: "Is it inlaid with gold or diamonds?"

You won’t meet a liar, how could a stone tablet be sold so expensive?”

"What if...the seal of the jade seal of Qin Shihuang's kingdom is engraved on it?"

"What!?"

The old man was screaming incredibly surprised, accompanied by the harsh sound of the collision of dishes. He probably stood up too excited and accidentally hit the table.

Han Xuan was happy, I believe that probably every Chinese who knew the news would be excited, and then said, "Alfreid is arranging a test for people.

You wait, I'll go find a camera to take a photo and send it to you by fax..."

...

After some busyness, I sent the black and white pictures of the stone tablet to the Sos headquarters. When I called again, the old man said that he was already on the way back to the company.

The first thing that came out was the ultrasonic detection results. Judging from the cracks on the surface of the stone tablet and the inner cloth, it has been weathered for at least a thousand years, which is very consistent in time.

Then good news came. After seeing the handwriting on the stone tablet, the old man recognized that its handwriting was from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty Li Longji.

This Tang Dynasty emperor left behind the inscriptions such as "Ode to the Beards" and "The Inscription on Mount Tai". In the eyes of experts, these words are the best signs of the author's identity.

The old man was even more surprised by the seal.

It is speculated that Li Longji wrote on this stone tablet by himself, and left a seal with the imperial seal, and handed it to an outstanding carving master to carve the stone tablet.

When he accidentally encountered this priceless treasure, he didn't even care about Han Xuan's purchase of "Ping'an Tie" copied by his descendants. Just now, Alfred had contacted the seller of the calligraphy, and the other party agreed to resell it to Han Xuan.

I was busy until the night, and the final identification results finally came out.

In fact, Han Xuan had already believed that this was a stone tablet from the Tang Dynasty. The identification results indicate that the plant residues have a history of thousands of years, and even a dose of heart-warming agent was added.

He wrote a check with "1" and seven "0" to the old woman on the spot and signed the transfer contract.

Fearing that she was worried, she deliberately asked Huamei Bank, which was closed, to open the door again to help her complete the transfer procedures.

The old man, who was so anxious, flew to New York from Los Angeles and wanted to see it with his own eyes. Han Xuan left with a few of the collections he bought and went to the airport to greet him.

The grandfather and grandson met in the middle of the night, and the old man couldn't let go of the stone tablet.

When Han Xuan learned that his grandfather was not busy next time, he dozed off and said to him: "I happened to be at the airport. I plan to go back to Montana now. Do you want to go with me to rest for a few days?"

"Um

I haven't been there for a long time, so that's fine.

But it's raining now, otherwise you might as well stay at the airport for a night and leave tomorrow morning?"

The old man carefully looked at the "Ping'an Tie" and said again: "Let me appreciate them for a while, and then send them to your museum when I'm tired of playing."

"Whatever you do, I think China will be very happy to hear the news about this stone tablet, and then it will be placed in my museum in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

There is no need to find a hotel, there is a room on my plane. I will set off directly when the rain stops, and I should be able to arrive after I wake up."

"Hey, this is a good idea, then go to your plane to sleep.

It is indeed a shameless thing to send it back.

"How can I sell ten million US dollars if I don't bring it abroad?
