golden escape

"By the way, little brother, didn't you just tell us to look at a good item on the phone? Could it be something you bought at Su Xiaozi's stall?" Listening to their conversation, Wang Zijian suddenly saw something, and he couldn't help looking forward to it He said, but he knew how much old Chu praised his junior brother's attainments in antiques in his words.

Fang You's complexion changed immediately, "It's broken, stop quickly, before Su Da and I entered Li Xingsheng's base with a trick, I put all those things in a corner where we walked to prevent them from being damaged. Just a moment, I'll go and come back."

"Brother Li, Brother Wang, do you want to send someone to follow Brother Fang?" Feng Wenzheng hesitated for a moment, then said.

Both Li Zhijun and Wang Zijian shook their heads, "Brother Feng, you also know the strength of the junior brother. There are only a few people who can pose a threat to him. We should keep our eyes open and wait for the items that the junior brother brings."

Feng Wenzheng nodded. His inquiry just now was just a subconscious action of his. After all, this is the place where Li Xingsheng once existed, so there may be some fallouts.

After a while, Fang You walked back quickly. When he was about to enter the base where Li Xingsheng was, in order to prevent the two precious things from being damaged in future battles, he took them back from Su Da, and then Put into a land with no houses.

Ming blue and white is fine, but the statue of Guan Erge carved by local African residents is very precious, and the historical significance contained in it is far greater than the value of this black wood carving, not to mention this A statue of Guan Gong has been handed down from the Ming Dynasty to the present. The combination of these things is enough to make this black wood carving extremely precious.

"Junior brother, quickly take it out and let us have a look, and see if your kid is as awesome as Mr. Chu said in terms of antiques." Seeing Fang You getting into the car, Li Zhijun said eagerly. In the car, everyone was his own people. Even the driver was a special soldier who followed Feng Wenzheng from China.

Fang You smiled, patted Li Zhijun's outstretched hand, and then took out the bowl-shaped Ming blue and white porcelain from the bag, "Brother, look, this is what I found at the Suda stall. baby."

Looking at this small bowl full of dust and oil, Li Zhijun patted his head, and said unceremoniously: "Little brother, are you kidding, this broken bowl is also a good thing you let us see, a piece I don't even want money." If it was other items, he would still be interested in snatching them up to take a look, but he wasn't even interested in looking at this broken porcelain bowl.

"Junior brother, tell us what this porcelain bowl is." Wang Zijian seemed a little cautious, after all, Mr. Chu's character is very clear, without a certain level, he can't get into his old man's eyes at all. It was the two of them, if it wasn't for Chen Zongyi's apprentice, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to sit with Mr. Chu back then.

As for the junior brother in front of him, he and Elder Chu are friends of the same generation as close friends, which already explains everything.

"Hehe, big brother, don't look at it as dirty, it looks like it's just been picked up from a garbage dump, but this broken bowl in your mouth is enough to be worth the effort of you opening a martial arts gym in Tie Lijian. annual income." Fang You said with a smile.

Li Zhijun looked a little disbelieving, "Little brother, although the martial arts school we opened in Tielijian accepts fewer students, the tuition fees are very high. In addition to food and clothing, we have at least two or three million yuan left over these years." .”

Fang You smiled slightly, "Brother, this is a small Ming Yongle blue-and-white longevity peach bowl. Its glaze is thick and delicate, smooth and shiny, and its body color is white. Its blue color is bright and bright, with a luster like sapphire blue. The whole is delicate and delicate. It is indeed a masterpiece of blue and white in the Ming Dynasty. If my prediction is correct, the value of this small bowl should be between 200 million and 300 million. If it is put on the auction, its price may far exceed 300 million."

It can be used by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di as Zheng He's voyages to the West to show the country's prestige and cultural prosperity to the barbarian countries. It is not an ordinary item, it is definitely the most exquisite item in the official kiln.

"300 million, no way, little brother, just this broken bowl is worth 300 million." Li Zhijun opened his mouth wide, a little in disbelief. He had worked hard in Tielijian all his life, teaching foreign students to learn martial arts regardless of the weather. , The money earned is not as good as this broken bowl.

Fang You smiled, "Elder brother, these are just the cheapest things among antiques. I auctioned two pieces of calligraphy by celebrities from the small island country. The final transaction price was close to [-] million yuan, and the other was more than one billion yuan. .”

"Two antiques, more than one billion..." Li Zhijun's eyes were a little dull, and he felt that this life seemed to be wasted. After standing there for a while, he pressed Fang You's shoulder fiercely, "Little brother, big brother will spend the rest of his life Plus this body of meat will be given to you."

"Cough, senior brother, you have to calm down." Fang You said a little speechlessly.

Li Zhijun waved his fist, "There are more than one billion antiques, I really can't calm down."

"Eldest senior brother, look at your promise of never seeing money, junior brother, it seems that you called us before visiting the Suda stall. Could it be that you still have something to show?" Wang Zijian looked at it with contempt. He looked at Li Zhijun, and then looked expectantly at Fang You.

Li Zhijun looked at Wang Zijian resentfully, and said in his heart, mother, have you seen money, have you seen two antiques, is it more than one billion? I have worked hard in Tie Lijian all my life, and I can't compare with my junior brother. Touch it.

Fang You smiled, and took out three woodcarvings from the bag, "One of these three woodcarvings is the good one I'm going to show you, take a guess."

Seeing the three wood carvings that Fang You took out, the eyes of several people brightened, and they naturally saw the statue of Brother Guan in the center.

It's just that they looked at the two African mysterious things next to them, and couldn't help but hesitate. A broken bowl that they couldn't put their eyes on could be worth millions. These three wood carvings made them really curious. Not one, two, three, four.

"What's so difficult about it? Rare things are more expensive. In Africa, there are very few statues of Brother Guan. It must be Brother Guan, junior brother. I guess right." Li Zhijun waved his hand, without hesitation Said.

Feng Wenzheng and Wang Zijian couldn't help looking at Fang You, wanting to know whether Li Zhijun's promise was correct.

Although statues of Guan Gong are somewhat rare in Africa, they can be seen everywhere in China. Maybe it was just brought by the Chinese people who came to Africa.

"Brother, once he makes a move, he is extraordinary. As the senior brother said, the good thing I show you is this statue of Guan Gong." Fang You smiled slightly, and gave Li Zhijun a thumbs up. A simple-minded person, Often you will not be confused by appearances. The more complex your mind is, the more worries you will have in your heart.

Feng Wenzheng said with some doubts: "Brother Fang, I can't see the value of this statue of Guan Gong."

"First take a closer look at the two statues next to Guan Gong, and then look at the statue of Guan Gong. You must pay close attention to every detail." Fang You said softly.

Except for Li Zhijun who looked at it for a while, he didn't look at it again. Feng Wenzheng and Wang Zijian held their breaths and observed the three wood carvings bit by bit. Finally, Wang Zijian withdrew his eyes. Much stronger.

"Junior Brother, after looking at it for a while, I feel that this Guan Gong statue is similar to the two African woodcarvings next to it, but they are somewhat different. However, it seems that this Guan Gong statue gives people a simple and simple feeling." Wang Zijian and Feng Wenzheng looked at each other, and the other party spoke in a strange way.

Feng Wenzheng nodded, "I feel the same way."

"This is the preciousness of the statue of Guan Gong. The carving technique used is somewhat the same as that of the native Africans. It is basically certain that this is a statue of Guan Gong carved by the native Africans. Maybe you think it is not enough It's strange, because now that the transportation is developed, Chinese culture may also spread to Africa, but what I want to tell you is that judging from the thick patina on this wood carving, its age should be more than 500 years ago " Fang You said with a smile on his face, "What, 500 years, how is this possible." Feng Wenzheng and Wang Zijian said subconsciously.

But Li Zhijun asked in a daze: "Little brother, what is patina?"

Hearing Li Zhijun's words, Fang You smiled, ignored the surprise on everyone's faces, and continued: "Look here, the statue of Guan Gong has a different luster from the two statues next to it. Over the long years, due to dust, sweat, the color of the hands of the players, or buried in the soil and soaked in water, prolonged rubbing, and even the passage of rays in the air, the layer-by-layer accumulation gradually formed the surface shell, through the color of the paste. Different, people who often play with antiques can know their approximate age."

At this moment, Wang Zijian, who knew some history, suddenly thought of something, and said suddenly: "Little brother, you just said that this wood carving is 500 years ago."

Fang You nodded and said with a smile, "Second senior brother, did you think of something?"

"Little brother, I thought of something. The Ming Dynasty, 500 years ago, seems to have no ability to reach Africa. How could it spread Chinese culture here?" Wang Zijian showed deep doubts on his face.

After thinking about it, Feng Wenzheng and Li Zhijun nodded in the same way. The feudal era gave them the impression of being a closed country, with extremely low technological capabilities. It cannot be compared with the current industrial era. A small island country is considered to be a fairy island. , How could there be the ability to sail in the ocean? At that time in the Ming Dynasty, even the world's most powerful country, Tielijian, had not yet been established.

"Hehe, I fell into the same doubts as you at the beginning, but a word from the woodcarving shop owner woke me up. He said that the ancestors of the owner of this woodcarving had seen a big ship from China, and had a relationship with the ship. Many Chinese people have had a brief exchange, think about one of the most famous events in the Ming Dynasty in China, and you should understand."

"The major events of the Ming Dynasty..." The three of them couldn't help but fell into deep thought, but the three of them thought about the major events that happened in the Ming Dynasty, and none of them thought about how Chinese culture would spread to Africa.

Seeing the big ships from China, Wang Zijian's eyes lit up, "Little brother, I know, although the industrial capacity was low in the feudal era, but not all of them. The big ships built in the Ming Dynasty had the ability to sail in the ocean. The famous Zheng He seven The story of the voyages has already explained everything. Is this the statue of Guan Gong carved by local Africans after getting some Chinese culture when Zheng He went to the West hundreds of years ago.” At the end, Wang Zijian said The shock was even greater.
