Cai Yi's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Jing move the bronze statue out of the back seat.

Regardless of the cold weather, Cai Yi directly took over the bronze statue.

"Tut Tut, good thing! Good thing!" Cai Yi couldn't help sighing after looking at it for a long time.

"I said you boy, why are you so lucky? This bronze statue can really be a national treasure of India. Where did you get it?"

The weight of the bronze statue is not light. Yang Jing doesn't want to be tired of the old man in front of her, so she reaches out to take the bronze statue and says with a smile: "Uncle Cai, as you said, I was just lucky. I took my daughter-in-law on the plane the day before yesterday. On my way back, I was going to visit my second aunt's grandmother. So I didn't take the airport expressway. As a result, I met a big fair in a village. I thought, I came down early and strolled around. As a result, I accidentally picked up the bronze statue. It cost me 800 yuan And... "

"Eight, eight hundred?" Cai Yi looked like a ghost. "You're really big enough to miss. I don't know how to say hello."

While walking, Yang Jing pretended to be a little embarrassed and said, "in fact, it's not just this bronze statue. There are also a large number of manuscripts and documents from the Ming, Qing and the Republic of China. Oh, by the way, I also received a pair of Ru porcelain fragments and a flower mouth plate of Longquan Ge kiln..."

Cai Yi stumbled and almost arched his head on the ground. After standing straight, the old man stared at Yang Jing and asked, "where's the plate? Where are the pieces of Ru porcelain?"

"Sao Rui, uncle Cai, I didn't bring those things today. But if you want to see them, I can show you later. I rented a house and put everything there."

"What are you hesitating about? Go! Go now!" hearing this, Lao Cai didn't look at the bronze statue, but planned to directly pull Yang Jing away.

What Yang Jing said is really shocking. It's better to say something about the fragments of Ru porcelain. The key is that the flower mouth plate of Longquan Ge kiln is too precious. Ge kiln is the only unconfirmed kiln mouth in the Song Dynasty and five kilns, and the Longquan Ge kiln found now is also extremely rare. Therefore, every porcelain suspected of Longquan Ge kiln will make this gang engage in ancient porcelain research Everyone was very excited, not to mention that the plate in Yang Jing's hand was still a whole device, which was even worse.

In the eyes of those who specialize in the study of ancient porcelain, even Longquan Ge kiln has far more research value than the other four famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.

"Uncle Cai, what's your hurry? The things are at home. They don't have long legs and can't run. If you want to see them, I can take you to see them at any time. However, I'm here today mainly to talk about the bronze statue. At the same time, when I sorted out the manuscripts yesterday, I found that many precious manuscripts urgently need to be protected, so I came here this time to return them I'd like to ask you to find an expert who specializes in the preservation of rare ancient books. Follow me and have a look, especially those precious manuscripts. They really need to be well protected. Maybe you don't know that there are six manuscripts written by Master Lu Xun... "

Hearing this, Cai Yi's mouth opened wider. Although he specializes in ancient porcelain research, he also knows what Lu Xun's manuscripts mean.

Cai Yi was stunned for a long time. Cai Yi gradually calmed down. A row of forehead smiled and said, "you boy, I don't know what to say about you! Come on, I'll find an expert for you. Let's go and have a look later."

Then the old man shook his head again and muttered in a low voice: "others just found a remnant page of Master Lu Xun's manuscript. I wish they could all be offered directly. It's good for you. One Amoy is six! What kind of dog is this? Shit luck..."

The two soon came to Cai Yi's office. Cai Yi was not so worried at this time, but looked at the statue of Shiva, the dance king brought by Yang Jing to undertake the descent of the Ganges.

After reading it for a long time, Cai Yi took out many tools similar to instruments, tested it on the bronze statue one by one, and then took out a thick book from the bookshelf to look for it. Then he nodded and said: "Yes, this bronze statue is indeed from the Jura Dynasty in southern India in the ninth century. This bronze statue is an old object with many years in terms of shape and slurry. The most important thing is that on the utensils held by the left hand of this bronze statue, there are four words' balandaga 'carved in dalapida language."

After a pause, Cai Yi explained: "The Jura Dynasty is a continuous Dynasty established by the Indian Tamils from the first century A.D. to the seventeenth century A.D. this dynasty has experienced prosperity and decline, and it has continued intermittently for nearly 1600 years. This' balandaga 'is a key figure in the rise of the Jura Dynasty again in the ninth century A.D. and is respected by Indians It is' balandaga I '. "

"Although balandaga I had only been in power for five years, during these five years, balandaga I led the Tamils to fight south and North, even annexed pandia, and successfully invaded Ceylon, laying a solid foundation for the rise of the Juruo Dynasty."

"This bronze statue should have been cast during the reign of balandaga I. after the 5th century, Shiva sect and Vishnu sect began to spread and became an influential religion. The society warmly worshipped Shiva and Vishnu God, and Tamil Nadu was also deeply affected. During the reign of balandaga I in the 9th century, Shiva sect reached its peak, and As it happens, balandaga I enjoys a very high reputation among the people. Therefore, it is not impossible for people to worship balandaga I with the help of Shiva. Of course, if you let me see it, I would prefer to believe that this bronze statue was an elaborate work of the Zhuluo royal family during the reign of balandaga I. "

"In the ninth century, the Indian people should not have such excellent skills. It is only in the royal family that they can cast such a beautiful bronze statue of Shiva. Moreover, according to historical records, balandaga I, although he is very capable, is a person who thinks highly of himself. Moreover, the victory of continuous wars is likely to make this outstanding king Their self-confidence is even more inflated and they even flaunt themselves as gods. "

Yang Jing smiled and said: "Therefore, the great and wise king ordered to cast a batch of such statues of Shiva, and engraved his name on the utensils held by Shiva's left hand in an attempt to become a god like Shiva. However, I'm afraid it was the king's way of offending the gods that made the king sit on the throne for only five years..."

Cai Yi smiled and nodded.

In fact, it is not difficult to identify this bronze statue. After all, this is the bronze statue of Shiva, which has a supreme status in India. Ordinary Indians simply dare not desecrate this supreme God, let alone create the fake of this supreme God.

Although there are countless statues of Shiva in India, the modern ones are quite different from the bronze statues made more than a thousand years ago, so it is not difficult to judge the identity of this bronze statue.

"Yang Zi, the identity of this bronze statue has been confirmed, so we have to talk about it. You didn't bring those precious manuscripts and Longquan Ge kiln flower mouth plate, but you only brought such an Indian bronze statue. Do you want to sell it?"

Yang Jing nodded and said, "well, uncle Cai, I'm not interested in Indian statues and I'm too lazy to collect such things, so I want to find a channel to sell. Do you need such a bronze statue?"

Cai Yi smiled, nodded and said, "of course, although this bronze statue is a bronze statue of India, it is also a valuable treasure. Both poly and Jiade need such a treasure. But Yang Zi, this time is not very good. Spring shooting is still some time away. Do you mean..."

Yang Jing said with a smile, "Uncle Cai, it's the same as the last Qianlong blue and white five bat holding a longevity through ear bottle. Ask and see how much money you can take. I can sell it to you directly."

After hearing what Yang Jing said, Cai Yi said, "Yang Zi, you should also know that Christie's once held an auction in New York two years ago, on which there was a bronze statue similar to yours."

Yang Jing nodded and said: "I know that it was an auction held by Christie's for Mr. an Siyuan's collection, and I also know that one of Mr. an Siyuan's collection is the statue of Shiva, the dance king cast by the Zhuluo Dynasty in the ninth century. However, the bronze statue of an Siyuan is not as good as mine in terms of appearance or size."

"Just know," Cai Yi nodded, "Moreover, you should also know that the bronze statue once treasured by Mr. an Siyuan sold at a high price of $2.85 million at that auction. In the past two years, India's economy has risen rapidly, and the price of India's precious cultural relics in the international auction market has increased rapidly. As you just said, the bronze statue in your hand is better than that in terms of appearance and size The bronze statue Mr. Yuan collected is better and bigger, so it is conservatively estimated that if you shoot this bronze statue, three million US dollars should be the guaranteed price. "

After a pause, Cai Yi continued: "Both poly and Jiade have been planning to enter the Indian market in the past two years. However, in order to successfully enter the Indian market, an auction with enough influence is needed. However, Jiade should be slightly ahead of poly in this regard. As far as I know, Jiade is preparing to plan an Indian special auction, which should be after next year's spring auction, and Jiade is still in the market I've collected a lot of Indian antiques. I think if you give this bronze statue to Jiade, it will certainly be designated as a heavy auction, even as the final auction, it's not impossible. "

Yang Jing nodded, thought a little and said, "Uncle Cai, then I'll give you this bronze statue for $3 million? As for whether you want to give it to Jiade or poly, let's make a decision."

"OK! I'll call them now."

Because a transaction had been made before, the transaction was still very smooth. Finally, Cai Yi decided to hand over the bronze statue to Jiade.

It's not that Cai Yi doesn't want to hand over the bronze statue to poly. It's really because Jiade is one step faster in entering the Indian market. If this bronze statue of India's national treasure wants to make a good price, it naturally needs to be handed over to Jiade who is more prepared.

After learning that there was a bronze statue of India's national treasure, and that the seller was the person who had just dealt with more than ten days ago, the senior management of Jiade immediately photographed $3 million without hesitation and directly pocketed the bronze statue.

As Cai Yigang said, Jiade is preparing to hold an auction in Mumbai, India after next spring's auction. Now there is such a bronze statue of India's national treasure, and the price is very appropriate. It has been identified by their visiting appraisers. If they don't buy the bronze statue, it will be called collective brain disability.

If next year's Indian special photography is held successfully, this bronze statue alone can bring Jiade at least $2 million in net income, or even more.

As for streaming photography, this is almost impossible. If this bronze statue really appears on the special photo of India, it will definitely be robbed by the local tyrants in India.

There is a big gap in poverty in India. Poor people wish they could only cover a band aid when they sleep at night, but the rich are really rich. Take Mukesh, India's richest man. This guy was the richest man in the world ten years ago! As for other tycoons in India, such as Mittal, India's steel king, Dilip Shanwei, India's drug king, and Achim premki, India's kicked giant

India's 57 richest people control 70% of India's wealth!

The vast majority of these oil-rich tycoons are very believers in Shiva. If these tycoons sell, this bronze statue will never worry about selling!

It is for these important reasons that the senior management of Jiade did not hesitate to directly take the money to buy the bronze statue.

The transaction went very smoothly. After signing the relevant agreement on behalf of Jiade and Yang Jing, Cai Yi directly entered Yang Jing's card in US dollars according to Yang Jing's requirements. Even the handling fee was paid by Jiade.

Last time, through the transaction of Qianlong blue and white five bats holding longevity through ear bottles, the senior leaders of Jiade also learned the potential of Yang Jing, a young man, from Cai Yi. Those who engage in auction houses, of course, like to have a good relationship with such people with great potential. The mere handling fee should promote the relationship between the two sides.

After all this, Cai Yi said with a smile, "Yang Zi, I've done everything for you. Should we talk about your Longquan Ge kiln flower mouth plate and those manuscripts?"

Yang Jing said with a smile, "I dare not ask my ears."

Cai Yi clapped his hands and said, "OK, have a good time! I'll find you an expert specializing in the protection of rare ancient books. Let's go and have a look at the treasures you've found."

Then Cai Yi grabbed the phone on his desk: "Lao Guo, I'm Lao Cai. Do you have time now... Well, I'll wait for you in the office. You can hurry up. My younger generation has six manuscripts of Master Lu Xun..."

Then Yang Jing vaguely heard the sound of a "splashing" table and chair falling to the ground from the microphone
