Chapter 650 Antique Buyer
Early morning in Los Angeles.
The noisy city area does not affect the quiet Beverly Hills.
The sky is light blue, and there are tiny clouds floating in the sky several thousand meters above our heads.
Vegetation releases fresh air, and dew is stained with green grass leaves.
The gardener picked up the newly blooming yellow tulips from the flower room and handed them to the maid in uniform, and asked her to decorate the house.
The old godfather Malone Brando's Palas cat came to play again.
After exploring with Vini for a long time, after getting familiar with the two, I am now riding on its back and taking a leisurely walk in the garden.
Winnie occasionally turned her head and opened her mouth, and the male servant who followed her would immediately feed it the original beef jerky.
The Pallas Cat, who had been jealous for a long time, also got a piece. He was afraid that the fat dick sitting next to him would snatch it, so he quickly stuffed it into his mouth and rolled his eyes so much that he choked...
Han Xuan was in the garage and took Anya to see the fossils of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and dinosaur eggs.
They are still in boxes, and the manor does not have enough space to store the fossil. It is too big and can easily be damaged when placed in the open air.
Anya School arranged to go to the Natural History Museum that time, she did not go to class. Today is the first time she saw dinosaur fossils.
On his fair and pink little face, he rarely showed "shock" and reached out and touched the skull of the Tyrannosaurus Rex with his fingers, and asked Han Xuan: "Why are they so strong, why are they extinct?"
"Dinosaurs are not extinct.
Research results from scientists show that today's birds evolved from some small dinosaurs, and they still live around us, but their appearance has changed.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex are too large to adapt to earth's climate change. In addition, some unexpected disasters occurred at that time, so they soon perished.
Survival of the fittest, nothing exists forever, including us humans.
Maybe one day, other highly intelligent creatures will also need to be in fossils to find our traces and think about whether humans have really lived on Earth."
"Well said! These words are so profound, and they are worthy of being a writer.
Several fossils of Archaeoptera birds have been found in the world, which are believed to be evidence of the evolution of dinosaurs into birds in the late Jurassic period.
They are all collected in major museums. I haven’t heard of any private collector, otherwise I can find it for you.
But this time, I found two fossils that are no worse than this Tyrannosaurus Rex. I know you like this, I specially collected it for you, Han."
The middle-aged man who was flattering was named Noah, who was one of the old man’s antique buyers and was equivalent to the middleman in antique trading.
This Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil was sold by him, and Han Xuan met him last month.
Han Xuan said at that time that there was another good thing for him to keep. Today, Noah got the news that Han Xuan came to Los Angeles and hurriedly came to him.
"What can make you so happy.
Show it to me, if I like it, I will buy it.”
Han Xuan turned around, threw out the ball toy and asked Obama, Snoopy, and the little black panther to pick it up, and asked Noah and said.
“This time it’s really a good thing.
To find it, a private archaeological team stayed in Africa for six years and lost three members to find it.
Fossils are a new species discovered by scientists decades ago. The imperial crocodile that lived in the early Bai Age has never appeared in other places except Africa.
Only the head part is preserved, and even so, it is the best preserved fossil of the Emperor Crocodile.
The length of that head is 1.55 meters, just like the crocodile head is much larger today!”
Noah danced and gestured with his size, and his tone was exaggerated.
Han Xuan knew about the Emperor Crocodile and also knew that this fossil was indeed a good thing.
They may have lived by preying on dinosaurs, and more than 100 million years have passed since the era when Emperor Crocodile survived.
The number of 100 million is enough to show too many problems.
In a state of temptation, he asked Noah: "Can you guarantee it is true? How much money does the other party have to pay to sell it?"
"I randomly scraped some powder from the fossil incomplete parts and asked experts to compare it with the research results published in 1966. It must be true. They dare not sell fake things to me."
Noah probably has been a stubborn man, and he is a big talker and confident: "It costs $2.7 million.
This price is pretty good, and not many people like to collect fossils, but there are definitely people who like to collect fossils of Emperor Crocodile.
According to the old rules, if you buy it, I will get a 4% commission from this price.”
"Okay, I'll send you the goods, but I didn't bring the check with me. I'll give it to you later."
Han Xuan took out the toy ball from Snoopy's mouth, swaying his tail, and threw it out again, "Didn't it mean there are two things, and one more thing?"
As the bodyguards stared at him, Noah handed his handbag to Gabriel to show that he had no malice and said, "Please help me take out the black box inside."
Gabriel threw an admiring look, took the bag and stayed away, unzipped the zipper to find the box he mentioned.
After opening it, I looked surprised.
He came back and returned the bag to Noah and handed the box to Han Xuan.
Han Xuan was curiously lifted it up, and looked down and saw a piece of slightly yellow amber inside.
Tens of millions of years ago, the pine and cypress plants left many resin fossils in the world, and they are uniformly called amber.
Anyone who has watched "Jurassic" Park knows that dinosaur blood is extracted from a mosquito sealed in amber.
In this piece of amber, about the size of a table tennis ball, there is not a mosquito, but a snail.
The appearance is not much different from the little snails that are often seen on the ground today.
Seeing that Han Xuan was not very interested, Noah introduced: "The snail inside lived 100 million years ago and was the earliest creature discovered from resin fossils.
Half a month ago, I just found it from a region where many amber was discovered in Lebanon, and there were not many pieces in the world.
I spent $600,000 to buy it from someone else.
If you want, I will sell it to you at this price. After all, I have made a lot of money from your grandfather. I will cooperate again in the future and make friends if I have the opportunity."
"Okay, Mr. Noah, I bought it."
Han Xuan didn't say much. Noah sometimes gets millions of dollars in a single business. He is also a rich man and doesn't care about this little money.
He handed the amber in the box to Anya, went to the pool to wash his hands, took the handkerchief brought by the close maid Lola and wiped it.
Looking at Noah: "I bought one in New York a few years ago, the twelve zodiac animals in the Chinese Old Summer Palace, and there should be eleven similar things.
Tiger, cow, and monkey appeared in the 1980s, but I later found out that it was too late to buy it.
I really like the kind of sculptures that incorporate Eastern and Western craftsmanship, one million dollars acquiring you.
No matter how much you buy it, I will buy it at this price.
They have a special appearance, you should be able to find it?"
Noah reached out and touched his pocket, as if he wanted to smoke, but when he remembered Han Xuan here, he gave up and said, "I remember the news of that auction. At that time, the horse sculpture was sold for more than 900,000 US dollars?
After so long, it has appreciated. It is a bit difficult to buy it for one million dollars..."
"No, no, no, my grandfather did not have his current status at that time. Because he liked it, he was deceived by the auction company.
They are the most shameless, and do everything to sell things, you know.
Those sculptures were not worth a million dollars at all. If it weren't for the use of some precious metals or Lang Shining's works, almost no one would have wanted them.
When the other three items were auctioned in 1987, the highest transaction price was only 10,000 US dollars, and now it is estimated that it is about 500,000 US dollars.
You still have to make money, and the extra part of the money you have is to find them for you."
Noah has collected a lot of Chinese antiques for Mr. Han, and it is easy to estimate the value of those "ordinary" sculptures.
Buying one can earn at least $400,000, and maybe more.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation. I'll go back and ask my friends, and I'll send you a message soon."
"Jason, give him my business card.
Then I'll wait for your call, Mr. Noah.
Now let’s give you the money for buying these two fossils, and add another $1 million in deposit…” (To be continued.)
