Treasure Hunt America

Chapter 514: auctions

(1);

Just like last time, when he came down, Sister Tao had already sent a car, and the two people borrowed him last time. Seeing that this time he was the only one who came here, the two people were also stunned.

But he didn't ask much, put on a blindfold and took him into the car.

The car drove out of the hotel's underground garage, then took a few laps in Central, and then went all the way out of the city.

Jin Muchen used his ears carefully to note down the places he passed along the way, but because the route the other party took was very complicated, and he had not undergone special training, the effect was not very good.

After the car stopped, he took off his blindfold and got out of the car, and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

It turned out that the car was actually parked on a pier, and there were many cars coming around, and then a lot of people like him, wearing various masks, came down one after another.

Everyone was brought together on a small speedboat, and then went out to sea. In the end, I didn't know how long it took, and finally saw a cruise ship.

When he got on the boat, Jin Muchen laughed secretly. He didn't expect that his colleagues in the East would actually use the same methods as when he was in Italy.

However, they were not as anxious as he did in Naples. Instead, they allotted rooms to everyone and let them rest. This boat is very big. Jin Muchen made a visual inspection and estimated that it could be about 10,000 tons. Small luxury cruise ship.

The living and entertainment facilities on the boat are all available. After everyone has been assigned a room, they have been notified that the auction will be held in the evening. After the cruise ship enters the high seas.

Finished that night. The next day I will send everyone to Xiangjiang.

In line with the principle of what comes and goes. Jin Muchen settled down on the boat, but fortunately, the other party was quite interesting. Their food and clothing on this boat were all free.

It's just that in the middle of the gambling hall, the gambling funds have to be paid by himself. Jin Muchen also went there for a turn, and the arrangement there is very professional.

Dozens of gaming tables were opened, and each gaming table was crowded with high rollers for entertainment. Anyway, this group of people is not short of money, and they are very energetic. They can't sleep in the cabin. It's better to come here before the auction starts and bet two for entertainment.

Jin Muchen turned around, just to get a general understanding of the situation here. He was not very interested in betting twice.

Looking at the guys with blushing faces and thick necks surrounding the gaming table, Jin Muchen felt relieved.

After all, it was his first time on this ship. He has never been able to figure out what the other party is thinking.

But here are the gamblers. There may be many who have come to this ship I don't know how many times.

Seeing that they were having such a good time, Jin Muchen knew that they should trust the owner of this boat very much, so he would feel at ease.

After walking around in the casino, he went back to his room to rest, and only came out for dinner at night.

Dinner is in a large open dining hall, and many high rollers who are tired of gambling come here to have dinner at this time.

In order to make these high-profile guests feel at home, the dinner was very rich. Abalone, lobster, and various precious ingredients were made into a buffet as if they were free of money.

Not only Chinese food, but also Western food, and drinks are also served. It seems that the boss of Sister Tao is also very willing to pay for it.

Knowing how to win over these high rollers, those high rollers will have fun on this boat and eat happily, so that when the auction starts in the evening, they will spend money and be happy.

After dinner, Jin Muchen went back to the room to rest for a while, until the broadcast in the room informed everyone that the auction would start at nine o'clock in the evening on the big dance floor in the middle of the boat.

He did a little preparation, and then went straight to the big dance floor in the middle.

By the time he came to the dance floor, the renovation had already been completed, and it was very formal, with a lot of chairs placed in front and back.

At the very front, there was a small stage with an auction table on it, but the auctioneer was not present at this time.

Some of the things that were filmed at night have been successively carried to the stage by staff wearing masks.

Many high rollers who participated in the auction also arrived in advance, and they went on stage one after another, and began to check these things on the stage.

Jin Muchen also followed the crowd and stepped onto the stage, and began to appreciate these auction items with everyone.

This is incredible. Compared with the underground auction he participated in in Los Angeles before, the auction held here is completely different.

In that underground auction in Los Angeles, most of the lots that these guys took out were of poor quality.

There are even many fakes. Even if there are a few genuine ones, most of them are not very precious. At best, they are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in ordinary goods.

But this time, this auction is different. He glanced at it casually and could see several jewels shining brightly.

Most of these treasures are porcelain, and these porcelains have a relatively large age span, and some have obvious exotic characteristics.

The so-called exotic features are also relative to ancient China, that is to say, these things are not necessarily characteristic antiques from the areas controlled by China at that time, but some of them should be antiques from people outside the Great Wall.

This is very easy to understand. After all, the things that Sister Tao and the others have come up with are mostly the things that the gang of tomb robbers have excavated and robbed tombs in the country in recent years.

But now, due to the strict control of cultural relics in China, and the ancient tombs in Henan, Shaanxi and other places where there are many ancient tombs in China, almost all of them have been dug.

Therefore, if these tomb robbers want to gain something, they have to look farther.

Therefore, in recent years, the number of tomb robbers in Qinghai, Gansu, and even Xinjiang has increased sharply.

As such, it's no surprise that they've dug up something exotic.

And it's not just the place to write it. In fact, in recent years, the most rampant places for tomb robbers should be in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia and the western part of Liaoning.

Because according to the archaeological discoveries in recent years, many archaeological experts, according to the unearthed things, have defined the place as the birthplace of the Hongshan culture.

To know the Hongshan culture, it is a cultural circle that originated earlier than the Yellow River culture of our ancestors in China.

It didn't get much attention before, but in recent decades, after we have been proclaiming that we have a history of up to 5,000 years, this cultural circle has to be taken seriously.

Because if we really rely on archaeology to prove the origin of our real Chinese civilization, we can actually find historical evidence of a little more than 4,000 years.

But after all, what we preach to the outside world is that we have five thousand years of cultural heritage, so where can we find that thousand years of cultural heritage?

In this way, many archaeologists have thought of the Hongshan culture that originated in the northeast area, because even if you search all over China, there is only one culture that can make up for the five thousand years of history of our Yellow River culture.

And in the eyes of those archaeologists, the most favorable evidence that Hongshan culture is the ancestor of the Yellow River culture is that Hongshan people like jade very much.

They use jade to make many daily necessities and decorations.

For example, jade knives, jade axes, jade needles and other daily utensils, as well as jade pendants, jade belt buckles, jade handles and a series of accessories.

The shape of these ornaments, as well as the carving techniques used above, as well as the carved patterns, are also reflected in the jade ornaments of the later Yellow River civilization.

Therefore, many experts dare to say with certainty that Hongshan culture is actually one of the origins of our Yellow River culture. . .

It is precisely because of this caliber and propaganda that the Hongshan culture has gradually become popular in the archaeological circle in China in recent years.

And those treasures left by Hongshan Culture are more and more loved by people in the antique circle.

It is precisely because of this that the ancient tombs left by the Hongshan Culture have become the favorite objects of tomb thieves.

In recent years, there have been frequent tomb robbery cases in the northeast area. Although the police have worked hard to catch the thieves, many tomb robbery gangs have also been uncovered in recent years.

But even so, more than 10,000 antiques from the Hongshan Culture period are lost overseas every year.

Most of these things are mainly jade articles. When tomb robbers take action, such jade articles can often be exchanged for one million yuan for a dozen pieces~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But once they get overseas, these jade articles can be any one of them. Can sell for millions.

It can be seen that the loss of antiques in China alone can bring great losses to the country. More importantly, those things belong to all Chinese people.

We Chinese people's own treasures can't stay on our own land. In the future, our children and grandchildren will have to go to museums on other people's sites to see the essence of cultural relics preserved by our own ancestors. This is a mockery thing?

Today, in this underground auction venue, what Jin Muchen sees most are those jades from the Hongshan Culture period.

The quality of these jade articles may not be as good as the white suet jade that is sought after by later generations. The carving techniques are also very rough, and the patterns on the jade articles are even more rudimentary.

But even so, it can't hide the noble and arrogant natural breath of these jade articles.

These jade articles were created by our ancestors with their own wisdom when the ancestors of the Europeans were still drinking blood. Therefore, although they look unusually crude, in the heart of every antique lover, these jade articles are of great value. The value is priceless! (To be continued..)
