"Then how much is this jar worth?"

Chen Rui also didn't expect that this jar would have such a background.

He couldn't help but ask Martin. After all, looking at his posture, this guy seemed to be very knowledgeable.

At this time, Martin was holding his right hand with his left hand, and his right hand kept stroking the stubble on his chin.

"Well, a teapot of the same period as this jar could sell for 1.079 million pounds. This was in 2007."

"Taking into account the factors of inflation and currency depreciation, you are just a jar!"

"No matter what, we can sell at least three million..."

After hearing this, Chen Rui couldn't help but feel happy.

"Dollar?"

he asked, and Martin rolled his eyes: "I said pounds!"

Chen Rui couldn't help but gasped: "Hiss! Is it so valuable?"

"But I see that this jar is not as big as the teapot, isn't it?"

"And the copper edging is so ugly, and the lid of the tea can is made of copper..."

Chen Rui talked about a series of shortcomings of this jar.

Martin smiled: "Brother, what are you selling this antique for?"

"Why is the top-grade porcelain from our Dragon Kingdom?"

When he asked this, Chen Rui was really a little confused, but there was one thing he was sure of.

That is this Martin, he is really Chinese.

"What sells antiques is first of all the value of the object itself, its size, difficulty of making, and skills."

"Needless to say, our Dragon Kingdom porcelain is top-notch."

"Secondly, the selling point is the story on the porcelain."

"Like our porcelain from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially the porcelain used by the imperial family."

"Every piece is not only exquisitely crafted, but most importantly, it has a story and provenance."

"So the price of such porcelain is naturally high."

"And the porcelain jar in front of me is itself exported porcelain."

"Although it is also a top-notch porcelain for export, the quality is definitely not as good as the products from the official kiln that we used for the royal family back then."

"But the good thing is, this jar has been blessed by two people."

"And these two people are very famous figures in Western history."

"It goes without saying that Queen Elizabeth I is the overlord who single-handedly laid the foundation of an empire on which the sun never sets!"

"And this Sir Drake, needless to say, he is the sword in the Queen's hand and the minister of the buttocks!"

"If the stories of these two people are put together, in our words, it is called harmony between generals and prime ministers!"

"So, the price of porcelain used by these two historical celebrities is naturally more expensive."

"This copper edging does not seem like a burden, but actually a blessing left by Sir Drake on this piece of porcelain!"

Martin explained to Chen Rui. Chen Rui nodded frequently and felt that what he said was very reasonable.

Indeed, the value of a good antique is not just the antique itself.

There is another aspect, which is the historical story hidden behind this antique.

And this weird-looking tea can was blessed by two historical celebrities.

Moreover, these two people are both figures who have left a profound mark on Western history.

Thinking about it this way, this tea can is really not cheap.

After all, Sir Drake is much more famous than that priest.

The teapot passed down from the priest's family can be sold for 1.079 million.

Then why can't you sell your tea can more expensively?

"You should keep this jar and be sure not to break it."

Martin smiled and pushed the tea can over to Chen Rui.

Chen Rui carefully put away the tea can, and then couldn't help but ask Martin.

"Brother, how many years have you been in the United States? How did you meet my father-in-law?"

"Hi! I'm here, but I'm old..."

When Martin saw that Chen Rui was very attached to him, he didn't hide it from him.

He told him the story of when he came to the United States.

It turns out that this old man came from a family of antiques in his early years in China.

His grandfather was in the antiques business before liberation, and was later recruited into the archaeological team after liberation.

Later, he entered a university and became a professor, while his father inherited his father's business and also started an antique business.

Unfortunately, twenty years ago, his family suffered a sudden change.

"Hey, a business my father was involved in involved fraud."

"He was also taken advantage of. Others used his name to defraud money, and then took the money and ran abroad."

"My father was arrested by the police. In order to get my father out, my grandfather sold off his property..."

"Our family has also been in decline since then."

"At that time, I had a childhood sweetheart who was about to get married, but she broke up with me because of this."

"I came to the United States out of anger. I was penniless and extremely poor."

"In order to earn a living, I had no choice but to join the American army, and Nelson and I became comrades in arms."

"Later, after we retired, we kept in touch, and I started a 'small business' in Flushing."

"…………"

This guy is really upright, and maybe he feels that he can talk to Chen Rui.

When Chen Rui asked, he told Chen Rui everything.

Chen Rui also briefly introduced his origins to him.

When Martin heard this, he realized that the two of them had the same problem. They both had experienced such a period of family decline.

This made him feel more attracted to Chen Rui.

So Chen Rui later asked him for advice on how to make such a certificate.

This time, Martin handed over all the skills he knew to Chen Rui without reservation.

For example, how to remove photos from various documents and how to attach photos.

There are also differences in documents from different countries around the world.

Fortunately, the passports of the United States and some European countries are old-fashioned and require photos to be affixed.

If you were like us and printed the photos directly, it would be difficult.

And Chen Rui is also very flexible and can solve many things easily.

Martin taught him a little bit, and he picked it up right away.

Seeing his rapid progress, Martin felt that this guy was a genius.

They even took him directly upstairs and performed direct operations on many passports.

Martin has hundreds of passports and various documents in his hands.

These passports are from all over the world, and they are all real passports.

Chen Rui didn't know where he got it from, but if he could get it, that was his skill.

Martin generously took out his basic passport and let him practice the operation.

Not to mention, every time Chen Rui concentrates on the operation, the process becomes very easy.

Even Martin, who was standing aside and teaching him step by step, had to sigh when he saw his operation.

"Good boy, you were born to eat this bowl of rice!"

Chen Rui felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
