Chapter 50: One item from the Forbidden City, one item from me; the Forbidden City didn't have
Shen Wang was stunned!
Could this seemingly ordinary box actually be a treasure?
On the other end of the video call, Xin Quan's face was almost pressed against the screen.
"Ah! My eyes!"
"Brother Quan, move away from the camera!"
"Megalophobia!"
"What did he see? Quan-ge's expression is off!"
……
The live chat was filled with all sorts of nonsense.
However, Xin Quan ignored these comments, his expression shifting from surprise and shock to gradually becoming serious.
"Baby...Baby friend...you...you move closer to that corner in the bottom left..."
"Yes! That's it!"
"Turn on the flash! Quickly!"
Shen Wang did as instructed, turning on the flash and inserting the phone camera into the lower left corner of the wooden box.
"My God...it really is..."
Xin Quan gasped, as if he had seen a ghost.
At this moment, Shen Wang also noticed that there were some patterns carved on the side wall of the wooden box.
At the same time, there is a line of small text in the lower left corner.
The three characters "内务府" can be faintly seen.
"Brother Quan, what does the Imperial Household Department mean?" Shen Wang asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Xin Quan slowly raised her head, rubbed her face, and took a few exaggerated deep breaths.
"Friend! You...you actually used this box to store a Japanese soldier's broken knife! Do you even know who he was?"
Upon hearing that even the Japanese officers' swords had become broken, Shen Wang immediately realized he had struck gold.
Before Shen Wang could answer, Xin Quan practically shouted out the answer:
"Look at this wood! It's the finest rosewood, with a deep, rich color and exquisite grain. This wood alone is priceless!"
"Look at this carving! It's a five-clawed dragon amidst clouds, it's a dragon!"
"And this shape! This craftsmanship! Most importantly, this inscription—'Made in the Qianlong Reign by the Imperial Household Department'!"
"This...this is Emperor Qianlong's sword case!"
"Genuine royal items!"
"You...you actually used it to represent a Japanese soldier's broken knife! It's an insult to it!"
Shen Wangxin said, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
It was Li Yunlong in disguise!
He won't take the blame for this!
Moreover, he never expected that the box Li Yunlong casually found to put the knife in would have such a big background.
No wonder the official sword and the apprenticeship certificate showed signs of aging, but this wooden box remained unchanged.
So it was originally an old item!
The live stream chat exploded!
"Holy crap???"
"An imperial sword case? From Emperor Qianlong?"
"I'll fucking kneel down right now!"
"Impossibly trespassing into the imperial palace! Confirmed!"
"Who is this guy? Using a Qianlong-era box to store Japanese knives?"
"Playing dumb to fool the enemy! Absolutely playing dumb to fool the enemy!"
……
Seeing the frenzy in the live stream, Shen Wang smiled and said, "Brother Quan, even if it were Qianlong's sword box, there's no need for you to get so excited, is there? What kind of treasures haven't you seen?"
However, on the other side of the screen, Xin Quan also smiled.
Her small mouth tilted slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Friend, no, brother, no, elder brother!"
Xin Quan changed his form of address three times in a row, each time with an increasingly respectful tone:
"Brother, first of all, I must tell you something: the imperial sandalwood box from the Qianlong era is absolutely a treasure!"
"Secondly, I have something else to tell you—"
"The Palace Museum has a sandalwood sword case exactly like yours!"
"However, the one in the Forbidden City doesn't have a lid!"
boom--
As soon as Xin Quan finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded!
Holy crap!!!
"One piece from the Forbidden City... and one piece for me..."
"The Forbidden City doesn't have a roof... but I do..."
"The Heavenly Game!"
"I'm bowing down to this big shot!"
……
The screen was flooded with comments!
Shen Wang was also stunned.
He never imagined that such a legendary scene would actually happen to him!
That piece in the Forbidden City... could it have been left by Li Yunlong?
And this one of mine...
Suddenly, Shen Wang felt a chill run down his spine, and secretly rejoiced.
Thankfully, it was just a wooden box!
No matter how precious this wooden box is, it can be mass-produced.
Who said Emperor Qianlong only had one sword case?
Why does Your Majesty have so many precious swords and so many identical sword cases?
This completely explains the past!
But what if he brings out a unique piece like calligraphy or painting...
That's really hard to say!
There can't possibly be two original versions of a painting, right?
This incident served as a reminder to Shen Wang that converting antiques into cash might not be as simple as he had imagined.
Suppressing all the thoughts in his mind, Shen Wang took a deep breath and asked the question that concerned him most:
"Brother Quan, so according to you... how much is this box of mine worth now?"
how much is it?
Xin Quan smiled.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that "the Forbidden City doesn't have a cover, but this sword case does" makes its value immeasurable!
This is an item even more complete than those in the Palace Museum's collection; which collector wouldn't want to own it?
"This treasure in my collection is more complete than those in the Palace Museum."
Wouldn't it be incredibly prestigious to say that?
"Big brother, are you really going to make a move?" Xin Quan asked.
Shen Wang nodded: "Of course! If the price is right!"
After listening to Xin Quan's explanation, Shen Wang felt that the box was too hot to handle!
Let's get rid of it as soon as possible!
On the other side of the screen, Xin Quan pondered for a moment, then picked up the calculator and pressed a few keys.
One hundred equals one hundred!
"One million?"
Shen Wang was startled, but he forced himself to remain silent.
Xin Quan had no choice but to press it again.
Two hundred equals two hundred!
"hiss--!"
Shen Wang remained silent.
Xin Quan pressed it again.
Five hundred equals five hundred!
"Five million!"
Even though Shen Wang was somewhat prepared, he couldn't sit still any longer.
This price completely exceeded his expectations!
It's almost like it was found somewhere!
However, he still didn't say anything.
Now, Xin Quan couldn't sit still any longer.
"Brother! This price has reached its limit!"
"To be honest, this has exceeded the value of the sandalwood sword case itself!"
Shen Wang thought about it and realized that five million was indeed a lot.
"Then... let's chat in private messages."
After saying that, Shen Wang hung up the call immediately.
He has seen a lot of negative comments on the screen, and quite a few people are following him and sending him private messages.
Some have offered 800 million...
Some have offered 1000 million...
There are even people asking to be kept by a sugar daddy/sugar baby...
Shen Wang simply blocked all of these people.
Then, they added Xin Quan as a friend and chatted briefly in private messages.
Ultimately, Shen Wang agreed to the deal for 500 million.
To be honest, Shen Wang still had a good impression of Xin Quan.
If Xin Quan hadn't pointed out the value of the box, but instead bought the officer's sword at a high price, he probably... would have given away the wooden box as well.
Based on this alone, at least the other party's character is beyond reproach.
However, after hanging up the line, Shen Wang was even more unable to sleep!
"500 million!"
He's about to have a fortune of 500 million!
That night, Shen Wang tossed and turned in bed, his mind filled with all sorts of wonderful visions of the future...
. . .
The next day.
Shen Wang suddenly sensed movement in the room.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw two—no, four—long legs…
