Li Mo and Qu Yang walked into the second antique store. This one was small in size and sold relatively simple items. At random glance, they were all jewelry. Most of them were various kinds of jewelry inlaid with gems. Judging from the style and craftsmanship, they seemed

Time is not short either.

The shop is not big, but there are quite a lot of customers. There are also two couples of domestic tourists, both in their forties or fifties. They are well-dressed and well-dressed. Li Mo did not waste any time. He opened his strange pupils and his clairvoyant gaze still enveloped him.

Damn, they are all deceptive stuff. At least half of the inlaid gems are synthetic fake gems. Li Mo was completely speechless. He originally had high expectations for the time-honored antique store, but now his heart

It's almost completely cold. If you continue shopping like this, you might not be able to pick up a single thing.

When he was about to leave, an old white couple suddenly got into an argument with someone in the antique shop. The old couple was very excited. The old woman was holding a gold-encrusted cup in her left hand and kept pointing with her right hand.

That cup was babbling incomprehensible words.

"Boss, the old woman said that the gold jewelry cup in her hand was passed down from her ancestors and was brought back from our country. She said it was a real antique."

Qu Yang quickly told Li Mo.

Li Mo looked around and saw that the gold cup inlaid with jewels actually emitted gray light, and then gray haloes spread out. It was an antique from the mid-Qing Dynasty and was worth a lot of money.

"Boss, the old woman said that there are two antique cups, and each one costs 500,000 euros. If two are transferred together, it can cost 900,000 euros. But the owner of the antique shop is only willing to pay 600,000 euros for a pair of cups.

.”

Li Mo didn't leave either. He just stood there as if watching a play. After the two sides argued for a few minutes, the old couple angrily put the gold cup with gems in their hands into the wooden box, and then left the antique store holding hands with each other.

"Qu Yang, go and ask. If the old couple is willing to sell it for 800,000 euros, I will buy it."

When Qu Yang heard this, he immediately knew that the pair of golden cups were really antiques. Seeing that the old couple had come out of the antique shop, he hurriedly ran over to talk to them.

The old couple turned to look at Li Mo, who was smiling, and doubts appeared in their eyes. Can this young man from the East really bid 800,000 euros?

Afterwards, they had a few words of conversation, and Qu Yang came over and said: "Boss, they said that the money after the resale of these antiques will be used for retirement, so if you really want to buy it, the deal will be 850,000. And it must be there."

Conduct transactions with a formal intermediary nearby, where there is a legal sales contract, and the intermediary only charges a 1% handling fee."

A look of hesitation suddenly appeared on Li Mo's face. He did not agree immediately, but thought for a while before saying: "They will bear the cost, which is 850,000 euros."

"Okay, I'll go talk." Qu Yang communicated with them again for a while, and then the old couple nodded, with joy on their faces, and looked at Li Mo with a bit of gratitude in their eyes.

A young man from the mysterious East is willing to go to a formal intermediary to trade, which means that he really wants to buy the gold cup in his hand, and the bid is very close to their psychological price. They also asked many antique dealers to pay the highest price.

One person.

What kind of demand there is, there will be what kind of market. After about half an hour, the transaction was successfully completed.

The old couple hugged Li Mo and kissed his face while expressing their sincere gratitude to him.

After they left, Qu Yang asked in a low voice: "Boss, what treasures are these two golden cups?"

Li Mo took out a cup from the box and looked at it carefully for a few minutes.

The cup is made of gold, in the shape of a tripod, round, with a straight mouth. The rim of the mouth is inlaid with a chisel pattern. The middle side of one side is inscribed with the seal script "Jinou Yonggu", and the other side is inscribed with the four-character inscription "Made in the Qianlong Year". The outer wall is full of incised treasure-like flowers, with stamens inscribed with

Pearls, red and sapphires are the main ones. There is a deformed dragon ear on each side, with beads on the dragon head. The three legs are all in the shape of an elephant head, with slightly smaller elephant ears, long tusks and rolled nose, and jewels are also embedded on the forehead and between the eyes.

He suppressed his excitement and said: "This is the Qianlong Jinou Yonggu Cup of the Qing Dynasty."

During the Qianlong period, the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office produced various types of wine cups, including many dragon-eared ones in many styles, but there were very few of them with elephant trunks as their legs. The design and processing of this gold cup are of the highest quality, and it is

A wine glass dedicated to the emperor.

According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong used them to drink wine and pray for blessings every New Year's Day, which meant that the Qing Dynasty's territorial power would be permanent.

Li Mo remembered that there were four such wine glasses, two of which were stolen by the Eight-Power Allied Forces and have been lost overseas, while the other two are now collected by two major museums.

"Some people jokingly say that this Qianlong Jinou Yonggu Cup from the Qing Dynasty is the number one blessing artifact in a thousand years."

Qu Yang stared straight at the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup. He calmed down for a while and then asked in a low voice: "Boss, is this valuable?"

Li Mo put the Jin Ou Everlasting Cup away and smiled at him and said: "There are only four of them in the world. They are only used by Emperor Qianlong. They are only used for drinking and praying for blessings on the first day of the new year every year. How much do you think they are worth?"

Qu Yang thought about it and couldn't help but gulped. Li Moguang bought them for nearly 6 million. Judging from what he meant, the value of these two Qianlong Jin'ou permanent cups from the Qing Dynasty was probably as high as the ceiling.

Tens of millions? Over 100 million?

He didn't dare to think about it anymore. He probably wouldn't change hands and would put it on display in his Gu Yunxuan Museum. There were four in the world, and he only owned two of them. Just thinking about it made people feel honored.

Li Mo walked out of the agency. He waved to the brown bear not far away and saw him running over quickly.

"Put this in your bag and hang it on your chest for protection."

The brown bear knew that the contents of this box were priceless, probably even more precious than the tiger charm yesterday.

"Don't worry, boss."

"Let brothers pay more attention."

Li Mo felt really happy at this moment. I didn't miss going to the British Museum. From now on, I would wander around the major antique markets every day and move all the good things back to my hometown.

"Brown Bear, when will the second batch of brothers arrive soon?"

"The day after tomorrow at noon."

"Well, let's continue."

Li Mo and Qu Yang entered the third antique store. This store specialized in selling paintings, mainly oil paintings. There were also some sketches of figures and animal sketches. Li Mo had carefully studied the Western oil painting appreciation notes given to him by Professor Qu.

It records the characteristics of the works of some great artists in European history.

But when he saw so many oil paintings, he still felt like his eyes were black.

Well, I really don’t appreciate European art.

Li Mo directly used the special pupils. The hanging oil paintings were all ordinary goods, perhaps the works of some art student. As for those sketches, they were worthless.

This isn't an antique store at all. It's just a shop selling dog meat over sheep's heads.

"Boss, are there any good things?" Qu Yang asked in a low voice. He was full of confidence in Li Mo. The boss would take action and there would be no place to hide any treasures.
