On a new day, Li Mo was sitting on a chair behind the counter humming the big stick opera in boredom, while Sima Haotian was sorting out the porcelain on the Bogu shelf, and Steven was on the other side sorting out the various hangings on the wall.

Hua. May and Dashan slowly wiped the dust on the counter and table with a piece of cloth.

At nine-thirty in the morning, the bell rang at the door, and three American elders arrived as promised. Two of them each carried a square box, and the remaining one held a rectangular box.

May stepped forward to communicate with them, and after a while, the three items were placed on the counter one after another.

"Didn't you say there are only two pieces? They actually brought three pieces over. It seems they still have a lot of good stuff." Sima Haotian was about to reach out and open one of the items, but was blocked by an old man from the Mediterranean American country, and then he started to chirp.

Say a few words.

"He asked you to take out all the relevant documents of this store, and they also want to take a look."

While translating, Steven took out several documents from his portable briefcase and handed them to the three of them.

They looked at each other one after another and nodded slightly.

"Can I watch it?" Sima Haotian asked with a strong tone.

The old Mediterranean American repeatedly said OK and took a step back so as not to disturb him.

The first thing Sima Haotian opened was the rectangular box. Generally, this kind of box stores calligraphy and painting, short weapons, and the like, and also contains jade items.

Inside was a scroll calligraphy and painting. He put on his gloves and took it out and spread it gently on the table. Just taking a look at it, he said in surprise: "Mr. Qin, this seems to be the representative work of "Lighting the Night" by Han Gan, a famous painter of the Tang Dynasty.

White Picture"."

Li Mo stood up slowly at this moment, walked to the counter, took the white gloves handed over by Steven, put them on and lowered his head to look at it carefully. The painting is about 31 cm in length and 33 cm in width. It is inked and colored on paper.

.

There is a horse in the painting. This horse is tied to a horse post behind it, but it is obviously not willing to be so restrained. It is struggling with angry eyes and neighing. Especially its flowing mane,

The upright ears, dilated nostrils and raised front hooves all add to the tense atmosphere of the entire picture.

The painter outlines the outline of the horse with fine line drawings, and lightly smudges its neck and legs with light ink, fully showing the strength and muscle texture of the horse's body. The delicate brushwork is combined with dynamic strokes.

The shape makes people feel like a horse leaping onto the paper after carefully appreciating this work.

The blank part of the picture leaves space for the audience's imagination, as if the horse is about to break away and disappear into the endless reverie. Although the atmosphere of the whole picture is tense and intense, you will not feel frightened after reading this volume. It seems thin.

The simple picture is actually full of rich plots and feelings.

"There is only one horse." Steven stretched his head and looked at it and made a sound.

"Although there is only one horse, this horse is not simple. It is the mount of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty, called 'Zhao Yebai'. This painting is completed with ink line drawing. The picture is full of rich plots and feelings, fully reflecting

It reflects the aesthetic concepts of the time.”

Li Mo said a few words briefly, and then his eyes fell on the recognition seals.

The six-character inscription "Han Gan's painting illuminates the night white" on the upper left of the picture is an inscription by Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty. There are two characters "Yanyuan" on the upper left side, which seems to be the inscription of Zhang Yanyuan, a famous art historian in the Tang Dynasty. On the lower left is an inscription by Mi Fu of the Song Dynasty.

, and stamped with the red seal of "Innate True Reward".

This is an authentic painting of a famous person that has been circulated in an orderly manner.

This group of thieves didn't know where they got such masterpieces, but thinking about those top-notch oil paintings, he knew it.

"The painting is good, it is an authentic work by a Tang Dynasty painter."

Li Mo did not cheat, and these people are not easy to mess with.

"How many dollars do you want to trade in?"

The same guy from the Mediterranean country raised his four fingers and said, "Four million dollars."

"The bid is appropriate, I agree."

The actual value of Tang Hanqian's masterpiece "Photo by White Night" should not be a problem, it's 20 million U.S. dollars, or even more. A masterpiece like this that has been passed down in an orderly manner, especially with the autographs of historical celebrities, is all

Very nice details.

Seeing that Li Mo did not bargain with them, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They had dealt with Chinese people before, and each one was a better thief than the last. The Chinese young man in front of them was not bad, at least he was not so fussy and haggled.

Sima Haotian put away the "White Picture at Night" again, and then opened the second wooden box. Inside was a piece of porcelain, a jar with a colorful fish and algae pattern lid.

He was still the one who made the appraisal first. Sima Haotian carefully looked at every detail. The porcelain was about 33cm tall and 21cm in diameter.

The jar has a straight mouth, a short neck, plump shoulders, a large belly, and round feet. The whole body is decorated with red, yellow, green and blue flowers. The shoulders are painted with deformed lotus petal patterns. The belly is painted with lotus pond fish and algae patterns, and eight red carps with different postures.

Extremely eye-catching, with lotus, water plants and duckweed as background.

The base is painted with a banana leaf pattern, the cover is painted with a necklace pattern, a flame-patterned pearl button is placed in the center, and the edge of the cover is decorated with a fish and algae pattern. White glaze is applied to the inside of the circle foot, and the blue and white regular script "Made in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty" is signed on the outer bottom.

Sima Haotian nodded to Li Mo and said: "This is an authentic jar with a colorful fish and algae pattern lid from Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty."

He had already identified it, so there was no need for Li Mo to get started. He glanced around and saw that this jar was a famous blue and white porcelain from the Jiajing official kiln in the Ming Dynasty. It has a tall and regular shape, a thick body, bright colors, and a dense and dense composition.

The scales and fins of the painted carp are clear, blending with the surrounding lotus, duckweed and aquatic plants, making it appear vivid and lifelike.

Although it is a bit inferior to the Ming and Xuande cloisonné dragon pattern lid jars that I found before, its value is still very amazing, and it is a treasure that should be placed in the museum.

"How much is the discount?"

"The same is five million dollars."

These three Americans didn't have much cash, so they might as well trade in two Chinese national treasures. Ten million US dollars for two pieces would definitely be enough.

"What if we can't see through this piece of porcelain?" Li Mo said this just to test their bottom line and see if he could lower the price.

"If you can't see through it, it just means that this piece of porcelain is not meant for you. We have prepared another one."

There is a clear difference between the thinking mode of foreigners and Chinese people. Since you can't see through it, there is no need to waste time and look at the third antique.

Sima Haotian calmly opened the third wooden box, revealing a piece of more beautiful-looking porcelain.

"Mr. Qin, come and get your hands on this piece of porcelain." Sima Haotian stepped aside, and Li Mo didn't refuse. He reached out and took out the porcelain amphorae bottle lying in the box, and placed it properly on the counter.

The gourd also means "good luck" in our country, which means good luck. Its shape always gives people a sense of joy and peace. The ancients believed that it can drive away disasters and evil spirits, pray for happiness, and make the descendants prosperous. The shape of this gourd bottle is

It's gourd-shaped

The upper part is round, the lower part is oblate, and the feet are rectangular. There are ribbon ears on each side of the neck and shoulders. The vessel is decorated with blue and white colors, sea water patterns in blue and white, dragon patterns in red, and eight treasures of Tibetan Buddhist auspiciousness.

The treasure umbrella pattern and goldfish pattern in the pattern.

Coupled with the turbulent sea water, red dragons are flying in the sea, brave and vigorous, and have the potential to dominate the storm. The vessel is supplemented by blue and white paintings of entangled flower patterns and fretwork, and the blue and white inscription on the outer bottom is "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty." 'Six characters and three lines of seal script inscription.
