Chapter 133 Bronze Dun, the day before the preview
"I'll arrive in the afternoon, but I'm not allowed to pick it up, so I'll contact you again." Xie Zhihao took another sip of water, "Why, you heard that she is a beautiful woman, and you want to meet her too?"

"I'm not interested in Japanese women, I just ask casually."

"By the way, Tianhe Auction House in Jiangzhou will hold a three-day autumn auction preview starting tomorrow, did you know?" Xie Zhihao changed the subject.

"know."

Not only did Yu Yao know that there were two other things of his own in it, a bronze statue of Zhao Gongming in the Wang Yulan style, and a cloisonné enamel gold-bodied chopstick vase.However, he didn't intend to say more.

"Zhonggu Shenhua has taken a fancy to something, but it seems inconvenient for her to show up."

"Ah?" Yu Yao looked at Xie Zhihao, "Is this asking you to help participate in the filming?"

"That's what it means. What she's looking for is a bronze ware from the Warring States Period."

It is very difficult for the bronze wares of the last three generations of Xia, Shang and Zhou to be auctioned, and there are many harsh conditions.Appearing at auctions, most of them are foreign auctions, and it is rare in China.

Because the bronze wares are mainly unearthed cultural relics, even if some of them can be regarded as orderly inheritance, there must be sufficient evidence, and at the same time, they must be submitted for approval, and only after approval can they be auctioned.

Xie Zhihao said, picked up the phone, and called up a set of pictures.

This is a bronze dragon with a round belly and three legs. It is small in size, with a height and diameter of only a dozen centimeters.There are four ears in total, two ears on the cover and two ears on the main body.The body has relatively thick cirrus moiré.

Bronze Dun is a food vessel and was also used as a ritual vessel for sacrifices.This type of utensil is quite special, combining the characteristics of Ding and Gui; it also appeared relatively late, generally considered to be the Spring and Autumn Period; after Qin and Han Dynasties, bronze wares began to decline, and the Dun utensil basically disappeared.

The name Dun is also quite special, because the same type of vessel was generally called Ding before the Qing Dynasty; in the Qing Dynasty, some scholars named it separately, and it was called Dun.When reading Bronze Dun, the pronunciation is not the commonly used Dun, but the sound of Dui (Dui).

This four-eared bronze Dun is the only bronze of the last three generations in this autumn auction. It has been released earlier with the preview announcement on the official website of Tianhe Auction.There are not only introductions, pictures, and inheritance, but also approval documents from the cultural relics department of Dongjiang Province.

The picture that Xie Zhihao showed Yu Yao had a watermark on it, obviously it was taken from the official website.

This four-eared bronze piece is not ancestral, but the origin is very clear, and it is impossible to pass the inspection.Because ten years ago, this thing was auctioned from a Japanese art auction company, and the transaction price at that time was 30.

Now it has appeared in China again, with a starting price of 50.

Yu Yaoguang couldn't completely judge the authenticity of this thing by looking at the pictures.However, among the many types of bronze ware, the type of Dun is unpretentious.As a cultural relic, it has research value, but in the group of bronze ware collectors, it has received relatively little attention.

And this one is of average copper quality and rough workmanship.To put it bluntly, it was probably an ordinary "rice bowl" during the Warring States Period.

Today's starting price is reasonable compared to the genuine product, and it is difficult to predict that the transaction price will exceed one million.

Yu Yao was a little strange, how could Zhonggu Shenhua be interested in such a bronze vessel?Moreover, ten years ago, this bronze Dun was photographed from the country of Wa, didn't the Qianhe Art Museum notice it?
Now that Xie Zhihao had mentioned it, Yu Yao asked directly.

"The Qianhe Art Museum is most interested in bronzes and porcelains. As long as they are authentic works from the present age, no matter how ugly they are, they can accept them." Xie Zhihao didn't hide it either. In fact, this bronze piece is not ugly, but Xie Zhihao don't talk about this one, he has never been interested in bronze ware.

"Ten years ago, the Co., Ltd. in Wa country held a special spring auction of Huaxia artworks. It was not held in Wa country, but in Huaxia Taidao. Qianhe didn't know why he didn't catch up. However, this time Tianhe Some items are restricted from bidding by foreigners, so I asked for my help.”

After hearing this, Yu Yao felt uncomfortable again.Although this item is not very precious, it was finally brought back from the Wa country. The department in charge of cultural relics and the Tianhe Auction House have already put in place procedures to restrict foreigners from taking it.But Xie Zhihao wanted to help the Japanese to get it out.

"She came here because of this bronze piece, right?" Yu Yao asked.

"She didn't say anything else, maybe it's just that." Xie Zhihao looked at Yu Yao with a smile, "Brother, you are my lucky star, come and see the preview with me? I'm not very good at bronze wares."

Yu Yao smiled coldly in his heart, in front of me, what are you good at?

"We communicated a lot on porcelain, but how do you know that I'm good at bronze?" Yu Yao asked back.

"After meeting at Tianjing Mountain, I will ask you further!" Xie Zhihao showed a proud face, "You are even good at calligraphy and painting! If you saw an old Soviet film in a store, you almost all of you in the Jiangzhou antique circle know it! "

Yu Yao frowned, then smiled, "Okay, I'm going to the preview too, so let's go and see it together."

Xie Zhihao suddenly took out an exquisite small box from his arms, one side was transparent, and gently put it on the table, "A small thing, brother, is not a respect."

Yu Yao took a look, inside was a 10 oz Gosell gold bar, according to the current gold price, it could be worth a small hundred thousand.

"What are you doing? Besides, I haven't seen it yet."

Xie Zhihao is very good at talking, "It has nothing to do with this. Brother treats me to dinner, treats me warmly, runs errands with me, and advises me; it's my first time to visit Menggeguzhai, so I can still have both hands empty!"

"You are too polite, it is really inappropriate!"

At the beginning, Yu Yao wanted to make friends with Xie Zhihao, but then a series of things happened, which made him feel more and more unable to make friends with him.If it weren't for the matter of being too invincible, he would not have planned to continue dating.

"You're slapping me in the face! With your eyesight, it's not easy to earn this little money? Don't think it's too little, it's my heart!"

Xie Zhihao got up while talking, "I still have something to do, let's go first, let's get in touch anytime!"

Yu Yao picked up the gold bar and stood up, but unexpectedly Xie Zhihao's fat body was a little nimble, he quickly opened the door, and then blocked Yu Yao with the door after dodging, blinking his eyes, "I have a chance to introduce a beautiful woman to you! "

Xie Zhihao walked away quickly after speaking.Yu Yao didn't bother to chase after him any more, he weighed the gold bar in his hand, and thought to himself, if he was an "informant" for Yang Sihai, he didn't have a penny, so you paid for him.

Xie Zhihao's money didn't come from a strong wind. It's not because of one or two things that he made such a move.In the antique business, eyesight is king, and he wanted to make friends with Yu Yao for a long time.

Of course Yu Yao also likes money very much, but some bottom lines cannot be broken, so it is difficult to be with people like Xie Zhihao.

The reason why he agreed to help Xie Zhihao go to the preview to see the Bronze Dun is not only to help him find out the news, but also because he had an idea just now and came up with a small way to deal with it.
