Langton Hawkeville is not a true art lover, he just accumulates wealth and stocks up whatever is valuable, ancient oriental porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, jade, jade, gold, silver and bronze products, Western coins, bronzes, oil paintings, gemstone jewelry, clay tablets and gold and silver products from the Middle East.

The precious art collected is often packed carefully and stuffed into a solid box to collect, without even the interest of taking a look at it.

"There is actually a piece of Yuan blue and white, hiss! It's the real thing! Take it away, and you can't let those black people know!"

"Maybe you will be knocked out again, and the wealth will be touching!"

"Look at this jadeite, it must be of the old pit type. The water head is good, take it away."

"Van Gogh's oil paintings? Huh? Something is wrong. What a fake!!!"

"Babylonian clayboards? It should be earlier, it's... Sumerian clayboards, even clayboards. It seems that this guy has a bad eye!"

...

Although Langton Hockville, who was rated as an outbreaker by experts, does not have much vision, but is willing to spend money. The result of using money to make money in regular channels is that although there are many fakes, they are not all fakes, and there are more real ones, and they still have certain value.

The appraisal experts present were not only Ding Kangyan, a professor of archaeology brought by Ye Tong, but also several other experts who are good at different fields. Most of them are well-versed in ancient and modern times, and are both internal and external. Even Western oil paintings and devices can tell a word about one, two, three, and four. As for the authenticity, further auxiliary identification of instruments and equipment is needed.

However, after all, I eat this industry. As my experience becomes more and more abundant, I get fewer and fewer times of eye-catching. Now I can basically judge it.

Over time, the value of these real antiques has completely compensated for the losses of those fakes.

When Li Bai heard someone lifting the clay board, he felt aroused and looked over.

He thought of the strange deal proposed by Wells Black, the leader of the animal protection organization. Langton Hockville clearly had so many good things and were of great value, but the other party was interested in clay tablets full of cuneiform characters, which was very puzzled.

Although Langton Hawkeville doesn't know anything about it, the people who are responsible for sealing these antiques are all professionals.

The Sumerian clay boards from Mesopotamia are encapsulated in a transparent glass box. The front and back sides are transparent, and the surroundings are fixed without gaps with transparent soft glue materials, which are very careful to protect.

When the expert who saw Li Bai coming over to look carefully and preparing to put the glass box containing the clay tablets back into the box slowed down and asked, "Doctor Li Bai, are you interested in these Sumerian clay tablets?"

"Hmm! It looks fresh, can you take a few photos?"

A few clay boards are not worth Li Bai's use of the heart of the glass. He did not mention the Wells Black's y transaction and tried to mix it as little as possible to avoid causing trouble.

The advantages of Liulixin are very obvious, and they are also many, which are very useful, but the disadvantages are not lacking.

He poured all kinds of information into his mind, whether it was useful or useless, which was quite exhausting. Maintaining the state of Liuli Heart for a long time was also a big burden. If a mortal suddenly came into contact with Liuli Heart, such a large amount of information rushed in instantly, and it was probably possible to drive people crazy in an instant.

Li Bai's current mental power level is far beyond his actual skill. To a large extent, in addition to part of the contributions of the "Mahabhiran Sutra", Liulixin plays a great role in it.

The more you use your brain, the more you become, the more accurate it is.

"Yi Kexin, I'll leave it to you here. Just take a few pictures if you want."

The expert immediately put the glass box back on the box and turned around to deal with the other boxes.

Sumerian clay tablets were not his focus. Since Li Bai was interested, he would just read it.

The outbreaker Langton Hockville did not classify the collections here at all, but piled them up here. Everyone couldn't find the list for a while, and could not tell what was stored on the surface of the box, so they had to open them one by one, identify them on the spot, and reorganize the list.

Li Bai took out the SLR camera from the storage ring, asked the little demon Hong Li to open the glass box, and shoot the front and back of the clay board inside.

In a short while, he took down all the dozen clay tablets.

In fact, it is more suitable to use a high-definition scanner, and the scanned pictures are more stable and accurate. However, starting the scanner requires not only the power supply, but also the laptop needs to be connected. With this leisure time, you have already finished taking pictures with a SLR camera.

The flash of the SLR camera attracted the attention of the leader of the Chinese construction team. He came over and asked curiously, "Doctor Li Bai, are you interested in clay tablets?"

"I have a friend who is interested in these things. I'll take a photo for him and do a research."

Li Bai held up the SLR camera, but was suddenly taken away by the demon Qingyao, and then stuffed it into the hand of the demon Hong Li.

"Stinky carp, take a few photos for me!"

There was also a string of necklaces hanging on the other hand of the witch Qingyao who came from somewhere. It was brightly golden and dotted with dozens of gems. The smallest one was the size of a mung bean.

"Is it Professor Xu Jin?"

Ye Tong was also idle and joined in.

He had read Li Bai's archives and knew some of the intersections between the other party and the archaeological circle.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm going to let him see."

There are only a few archaeological scholars who Li Bai knew, basically a handful of them. It is naturally not surprising that Ye Tong from the Institute of 507 was named.

The flash light flashed, and the witch Qingyao was posing in color, wearing a jewel-like atmosphere, and was so sexy.

These exquisite artworks worth a thousand yuan are hung on the witch, so beautiful! ~

No one cares about the two witches showing off with the gold, silver and jewelry here.

It is normal to get the moon first when you get a little money. What's more, here, the most valuable ones are these very exquisite jewelry, and many of them are modern high imitations, and even save even the old ones. It looks very festive. As for the value, it is the seasonal price of gold and silver and the bulk price of jewelry itself.

Fortunately, Langton Hawkeville is not too stupid and has not saved up a large number of Congolese local specialties, diamond rough stones.

The proven diamond reserves in Congo account for nearly one-quarter of the world. Although the advertising slogan "Diamonds are forever, one will last forever" sounds quite like that, the recycling price of diamonds is greatly reduced, not to mention the raw stone.

The main value of diamonds lies in the processing process and the small certificate, but the value of its own raw stones is not even one percent of the retail price.

This is also one of the reasons why Congo, which has 200 million carat diamond resources, is still so poor that it wants to eat soil.

"Professor Xu? I have been admiring for a long time. If he hadn't had time and could not arrange it, maybe you would have been able to see him."

The young leader was quite regretful. It turned out that the list of experts invited included Professor Xu Jin's name. Unfortunately, the time was not arranged, so he was unable to invite him.

Otherwise, if everyone is acquaintance, wouldn’t it be happy?

It took everyone nearly two hours to copy all the collections in the entire warehouse and compiled a list of more than 40 pages.

There are 511 European artworks, including 41 oil paintings, about 130 gold, silver, jewelry, thirty swords, cold weapons, twenty muskets, and several others.

There are about forty American artworks, namely bronze and stone.

There are about thirty African artworks, most of which are Egyptian cultural relics, the other half are precious metal ornaments inlaid with gems, and nearly one-third are modern handicrafts, which are only suitable for showing off.

There are about 732 Asian artworks, about 202 ceramics, including China and Japan, ninety-one jade, eighty-five calligraphy and paintings, fifty-one bronzes, sixteen golds, about one hundred and fifty jewelry, about sixteen weapons, four sets of armor, and about one hundred and seventeen other handicrafts, including some antiques from Central Asia and India, including clay boards, gold and silver or ivory statues.
