Episode 36: Mysterious Jade Sword
As everyone's eyes gathered, Ma Dong carefully placed an item in the center of the table, but it was an ancient jade sword that was three feet long.
Ma Dong pointed at the jade sword and said with a smile: "Everyone, this jade sword was obtained from some special channels in Henan. It is said to be from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Let's take a look!"
What Ma Dong said was not "certainly" but "supposedly". This was a learned statement. When he brought things and bought and sold them, it was all based on his own vision. In cash transactions, whether he made a profit or suffered a loss, it was all a matter of opinion.
You have to take the responsibility behind closed doors. Anyone who plays in this industry knows that the most taboo thing in the industry is to be fooled and suffer losses. Playing with antiques is about one's eyesight and playing with one's heartbeat.
In the market, everyone knows that there are very few truly good things. The objects in antiques are of a certain level and are prohibited by the country. Only those who play with jade and jade are more. Antiques are real things.
There are very few of them. Of course, this does not mean that all jadeite is real. There are more fake jadeite pieces. It’s just that there is no express limit in this law.
For sale in a jade shop in Jindian, as long as it is marked with a sign of goods A and B, it can be sold officially, and the methods of counterfeiting jade are becoming more and more sophisticated. If you pick up any piece from a street stall, the color will be the same as the best.
Compared with the color of the jade pieces, it is certain that 999 of the 1,000 pieces are fake, and the last one is not jade at all.
Besides, the business they are doing now is shady. If it is true as Ma Dong said, then the origin of these things must be shady. Although he will try his best to ensure that his items are authentic, even if they are
For him, eye-catching is a normal thing. Therefore, the person who does this business and bet is eye-catching.
Of course, here, Ma Dong has tried his best to check the checkpoints for them, but even so, he dare not have a 100% guarantee. For people like Bi Jianguo and Lin Xincheng, dozens or hundreds of
Even if it's tens of millions, it won't hurt your muscles and bones, but since it's a business, who wants to lose money?
Since you dare to do this business, you naturally have a few brushes, some of which you have the ability, and some of the people below you have the ability. When the ancient jade sword was taken out, the capable ones started to step forward, each holding a magnifying glass and waiting.
Tools to check the jade sword. Although the quality of the jade sword does appear to be very old and very old, these people are all veterans. If they want to fake it, there are 110,000 ways to do it easily.
Like this.
Li Yan was also very hot-eyed at this time, because his eyes could clearly see that this jade sword contained a powerful force. Although it was obscure, it could not be hidden from him. In his opinion,
It is no longer even weaker than the fairy sword he owned in his previous life. You must know that the fairy sword he used to have was refined by a real immortal. In other words, the sword in front of him is very likely to be
The sword once worn by an extremely powerful man who became an immortal!
For a loose immortal, possessing powerful weapons and magic weapons is also part of his strength. Now, since he has encountered this jade sword, let alone spending money to auction it, even if he kills people, he is bound to get it!
Soon, the jade sword was confirmed. It was indeed of some age and was undoubtedly an antique. However, underneath the vicissitudes of life, the quality of the jade sword could only be considered to be above average.
According to Lu Zhendong, this jade sword is made of Nanyang jade. Nanyang jade is produced in Dushan, Nanyang, Henan. It is commonly known as Nanyang jade, and is also called "Duyu". It is one of the four famous jades in China.
The reason why Nanyang jade is called Duyu is that it is different from jadeite and nephrite, which are composed of only one mineral element. The material composition of Nanyang jade contains a variety of minerals and has outstanding characteristics. Its hardness is Mohs six.
To 6.5, it is second only to jade and harder than other types of jade.
Jade Jade is called stone because jade grows out of stone. Jadeite is jadeite, which is the hardest. It is only produced in Myanmar. Nephrite is produced in many places around the world, but in China
It is the area with the largest output and variety. The reason why nephrite is called "soft" does not actually mean that its texture is soft. It is a classification of jade, which is softer than jade. Regardless of the hardness of jadeite or nephrite,
They are all very high. Usually the simplest way to identify jade is to scratch the jade piece hard on the glass. The real jade will be intact, while the fake jade will be broken.
But 90% of the buyers don’t understand it. Besides, no matter whether it is real or fake, if the customer breaks it or damages it, even if you don’t buy it, you still have to pay for it. Even if you don’t pay for it, you still have to pay.
It will cause trouble, and knowledgeable people will naturally have other verification methods.
There are many types of jade, such as white jade, topaz, sapphire, jasper, black jade, sugar jade, white jade, Beijing white jade, Nanyang jade, Lantian jade, etc. However, no matter what kind of jade, the quality is different.
Most of the jade is not very expensive, and only a very small number of truly good jade has an unimaginably high price.
The jade sword in front of him, according to Lu Zhendong, is the middle and top grade among Dushan jade. Its value as jade itself is actually limited. However, since this ancient jade was obtained from the ground, it is not only valuable.
It is not just jade, but an antique. Since it is an antique, it naturally has the price of an antique. Even if the carving technique of this jade sword is a bit rough, but for that era, it is definitely not as beautiful as modern carving tools. Jade
The carving technology has just begun to originate, so it cannot be regarded as a failure, but it actually enhances its value as an antique in disguise.
Seeing that several people who appraised it all believed that the jade sword was genuine, Ma Dong nodded, and then said: "Since everyone has appraised it, let me make a price. The starting price is one million, and there is no limit to the bid each time."
Less than fifty thousand.”
To be honest, the base price of one million is not very high for an antique from the Western Zhou Dynasty, especially a jade article. However, the jade sword is in poor quality after all. After a while, Li Yan tried to test it.
He shouted out a price of 1.05 million, and after waiting for a long time, no one called out the price again. This really made Li Yan extremely excited.
Several people looked at Li Yan with interest, and then at Lin Xincheng next to him. None of them spoke again. It was obvious that firstly, the quality of the jade sword was a little bad, and secondly.
I came here to give Lin Xincheng some face, so I gave Li Yan an advantage.
Ma Dong was not surprised at all by this. Compared with the previous items, this jade sword was really just a small object. It had been planned to pass the auction, but he didn't expect that someone wanted it, so Li Yan asked Li Yan to buy it.
The price of 1.05 million was very easy to obtain.
"It's neither copper, nor iron, nor steel. It was once hidden under Mount Sumeru. It doesn't need to be reversed to refine Yin and Yang. How can it not be tempered by water and fire? The sharp edge of the killing immortal kills the immortal, and the trapped immortal glows red everywhere. The transformation of the immortal is infinite and wonderful. The great Luo immortal
Blood stained clothes."
The moment he took the jade sword in his hand, Li Yan felt a strange fluctuation in his mind. After hesitating for a while, he finally suppressed the urge to continue to explore the jade sword in his hand and calmed down.
He kept his mind and continued to watch the auction. For him, what he should get has already been obtained, and the rest is just for watching the fun.
With the emergence of the next few items, especially a picture of a lady from the Ming Dynasty, the highest price of 12 million has brought this black market transaction to a peak state. So far, the flow of funds has
It has exceeded 100 million, which surprised Li Yan.
Among the people present, the most surprising thing was Mu Jianhua, who looked eager from beginning to end, but did not participate in any auction items.
With everyone's expectations, the last auction item was presented, but it was a well-preserved fresh red Ganoderma lucidum. Its medicinal age has reached 110 years, which can be said to be a rare elixir.
At this moment, except for Li Yan and Mu Jianhua, everyone present could not help but be moved. Ganoderma lucidum has been considered a symbol of good luck, wealth, beauty and longevity since ancient times. It is also known as "immortal grass".
", known as "Rui Cao", traditional Chinese medicine has long been regarded as a precious Chinese herbal medicine that nourishes, strengthens, and strengthens the body. Folklore says that Ganoderma lucidum has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and immortality.
As early as in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", Shen Nong listed Ganoderma lucidum as a top grade, saying that Purple Zhizhi "maintains deafness, sharpens joints, protects the mind and improves essence, strengthens muscles and bones, has good color, and long-term use can lighten the body and prevent aging." It is also called Red Zhizhi.
"It regulates the knot in the chest, nourishes the heart and qi, nourishes the heart and increases wisdom without forgetting. Eating for a long time will lighten the body and prevent aging, and prolong life." Moreover, ancient and modern pharmacological and clinical studies have proven that Ganoderma lucidum does have the effect of preventing and curing diseases and prolonging life.
As for whether this rare hundred-year-old red Ganoderma really has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, it is naturally unknown, but one thing is certain, that is, with this thing, at critical times, its effect is very strong
, definitely no less than a life-saving charm!
For these rich people, what they look forward to most is to live a few more years, so the appearance of this red Ganoderma really makes these big guys who come here to participate in the black market feel that their trip is worthwhile.
Except for Mu Jianhua, although the century-old red Ganoderma lucidum is precious, it is not the kind of medicinal material he needs, and the medicinal material is irreplaceable, which makes him feel a moment of silence for it...
