After identifying the first stone fragment of Sa Luzi, Xiao Ran moved it aside and asked his staff to wrap it in sponge again.
He did not open the other Salu Zi fragments to check. Those treasures were too heavy and there was no need.
Under the perspective, he could already see clearly.
Those fragments of stone carvings are all authentic and without any problems.
He briefly explained the situation, and the old men in Beijing did not object.
Next, Xiao Ran opened the box containing the fragments of the Quanmaozhen stone carvings and took out a fragment to inspect and identify it.
The fragment he took out was also the part engraved with Quan Mao's head.
Needless to say, the identification results!
There is certainly nothing wrong with this piece of stone carving from Quan Maoyu. It is undoubtedly a national treasure.
The remaining fragments were scattered in two wooden boxes and wrapped tightly.
The appearance of this national treasure made Old Shan and the others extremely excited, and their eyes even became wet.
After appraising the fist hair, Xiao Ran handed it over to his employees and asked them to re-wrap it.
He himself opened a brocade box on the table and continued the appraisal.
Packaged in this brocade box is a calligraphy work by Cai Xiang, one of the four great masters of the Song Dynasty.
Next, he and several old men in Beijing appreciated and appraised other Chinese antiques and artworks from the Penn Museum.
Without exception, these Chinese antiques and artworks are top-notch treasures, and each one is valuable.
Among them are bronzes, porcelain, calligraphy and painting works, Buddha statues and so on.
There is no question about the authenticity of these treasures.
The Penn Museum understands Xiao Ran's level, and also knows that behind him are many of the country's top antique art appraisal experts.
Under such circumstances, the Penn Museum wanted to reach this heavyweight art deal, so it didn’t dare to play any tricks.
It didn't take long for Xiao Ran and several old men to complete the appraisal work.
Of course, this is only a preliminary identification.
When these treasures are shipped back to China, Shan Lao and the others will personally identify them and draw the most accurate identification conclusion.
For Xiao Ran, this was completely unnecessary, but this procedure had to be followed.
On the other side, Segers and the others had already completed the appraisal and were appreciating the stolen antiques and artworks that were about to be obtained.
Among the stolen antiques, several pieces originally belonged to their museum.
Now they have to take out many valuable Chinese top antiques and artworks in exchange for half of the ownership of those treasures, which is somewhat depressing.
After completing the appraisal, Xiao Ran immediately approached Sigers and started signing a contract with him.
The subsequent signing process went very smoothly without any problems.
After the signing was completed, Xiao Ran shook hands with Segers again and said with a smile:
"Seghers, I am very happy to cooperate with your museum. I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
“I am very interested in the many Chinese antiques and artworks collected in your museum.”
Upon hearing this, both Segers and the president of Penn rolled their eyes angrily.
"You are really greedy. You have swept away so many top Chinese antiques and artworks in one go, and you are still not satisfied."
"Don't you have to completely empty out the Chinese Hall of our museum to be satisfied?"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
After a few jokes, everyone got busy.
Nick and the others began to pack up the treasures they had just exchanged, and moved them aside to put them aside for the time being.
Marvin, along with a security team member and an employee, guarded these newly exchanged treasures in the corner of the exhibition hall.
After today's transactions are completed, Xiao Ran will transport them away and temporarily store them in the museum vault.
Segers and the others also took action, packaging the stolen antiques and art they had exchanged, and preparing to transport them back to their museum later.
As for Xiao Ran, he went to Charles and others at the Freer Art Museum to discuss the next transaction.
Ten minutes later, his transaction with the Freer Museum of Art officially kicked off.
Same as the previous two transactions.
Xiao Ran asked his employees to take out the stolen antique artworks used for exchange and place them one by one on easels or tables for Charles and others to appreciate and identify.
The top Chinese antique artworks used for exchange at the Freer Museum were placed on the display table for appraisal by Xiao Ran.
When the appraisal began, Charles and others immediately walked towards the stolen antiques and artworks, and they couldn't wait to see them.
Xiao Ran came to several display tables and looked at the many boxes, scrolls, and several boxes placed on the tables.
After pretending to look carefully for a moment, he looked at an exquisite rosewood box.
The next moment, he gently opened the wooden box.
The treasure contained in this wooden box then appeared in front of him.
This is a uniquely shaped Boshan furnace made of gold and silver and inlaid with various gemstones. It is extremely exquisite.
The Boshan furnace in the box is about 18 centimeters high and 10 centimeters wide. It is exquisite and compact.
The body of the furnace is semi-circular, with sparse gold and silver patterns, and the top cover is in the shape of a conical mountain.
There are many mountains and peaks, and various animals such as rabbits, deer, monkeys, bears, etc. are running in the mountains and forests, and there are also hunters in the mountains and forests.
The furnace cover is inlaid with gold and silver fine lines, decorated with mountain clouds, tree branches and leaves, animal patterns, etc.
The decoration on the furnace body is relatively regular and elegant, with gold and silver outlining regular geometric figures, and inlaid with many turquoise, agate and other gems, making it a jewel.
The stove base below is low, engraved with a coiled dragon pattern, and inlaid with various drop-shaped gems, which is extremely gorgeous.
The moment they saw this gold and silver Boshan furnace, everyone at the scene was firmly attracted, and everyone was shocked.
Immediately afterwards, Elaine exclaimed excitedly.
"Wow! This baby is so gorgeous, so beautiful, it's unparalleled!"
"Is this really an antique artifact from two thousand years ago? It's incredible!"
With her exclamation, everyone woke up.
The next moment, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Yes, this treasure does come from China two thousand years ago. It is a Boshan furnace from the early Han Dynasty."
"In the early Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, magical alchemy was popular, and most people yearned for the fairyland of immortality."
“The cone-shaped mountain-shaped furnace cover of the Boshan furnace looks like the legendary fairy mountain on the sea, so it is named Boshan furnace.”
"In the early Han Dynasty, most of the people who used Boshan stoves to incense were members of the royal family of the Han Dynasty or high-ranking officials in the court."
"With the beauty and specifications of the Boshan furnace in front of me, only the emperor of the Han Dynasty was qualified to use it. This is also the most exquisite Boshan furnace I have ever seen."
Following his introduction, waves of exclamations erupted from the scene again, one after another.
Everyone was amazed by the beauty of this Boshan stove, and even more amazed by the long history of Chinese civilization!
While Xiao Ran was introducing the situation, several old men in Beijing were excitedly admiring and appraising this treasure.
It didn't take them long to reach a conclusion.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Jin said excitedly:
"Xiao Ran, there is nothing wrong with this Han Dynasty Boshan furnace. It is a well-deserved national treasure-level antique cultural relic."
"Among all the Boshan furnaces currently in the world, this Hanboshan furnace is not only at the ancestral level, but also the most exquisite, the most luxurious, and one of the most valuable."
"With the beauty and specifications of this Boshan stove, it could only be the incense burner used by the emperors of the Han Dynasty. Others would not dare to get involved, otherwise they will lose their heads."
"The inheritance of this Boshan furnace is clear. At the beginning of the last century, it was unearthed somewhere in Henan or Hebei. The specific details cannot be verified."
"Soon after, this Boshan stove fell into the hands of antique dealer Dai Runzhai, and was later sold to Lu Qinzhai, who sold it abroad."
"This Boshan furnace has only been in China for a short time, but it is recognized by everyone that it is one of the most valuable Boshan furnaces, no worse than Liu Sheng's Boshan furnace in Hebei Museum."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laughed and cursed angrily:
"It's Lu Qinzhai, this damn traitor again. How many national treasure-level antiques and cultural relics has this guy dumped? I'm afraid I can't even count them."
"Before liberation, this traitor worked hard to smuggle and sell national treasure-level cultural relics abroad, but now I have to try my best to recover them one by one!"
"If I could travel through time and space, I would really like to travel back to the beginning of the last century and directly kill the traitor Lu Qinzhai. Now I don't have to work so hard to recover national treasures!"
"Hahaha"
Several old men staying in the Forbidden City burst out laughing in unison.
When the laughter subsided, Mr. Shan immediately joked and said:
"Not only you, but us old men and even most of my colleagues in the Chinese antique shop want to travel through time and space to kill this big traitor Lu Qinzhai!"
"Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved at all. What we can do now is to try every means to recover these national treasure-level antiques and cultural relics that have been lost overseas."
"The number of antiques, cultural relics and works of art that Lu Qinzhai, a thieves, has emptied out is so huge that it is almost impossible to count."
"More than half of the Chinese antiques, cultural relics and works of art collected by major Western museums were vacated by this traitor."
Mr. Qiu, who was sitting aside, nodded and then continued:
"Xiao Ran, in the future you will encounter countless national treasure-level antiques, cultural relics and works of art that have been emptied by this thief Lu Qinzhai."
"After you meet those treasures, you must find a way to get them back to the country. With your kid's ability, there must be many ways."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran nodded firmly.
"Okay! Don't worry, everyone."
"As long as I come across a national treasure that has been lost overseas, I will find a way to get it and send it back to the country!"
"When the time comes, I will go up if I have the conditions. If I don't have the conditions, I will go up even if I create conditions. It's up to me!"
Following his words, several old men burst into laughter again.
