Upon hearing the appraisal conclusion given by Xiao Ran, Qian Guzhenmei was suddenly stunned.
Then, he looked at the bronze square tripod carefully and suddenly asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Sean, is this late Shang bronze tripod one of the batches of smuggled antique cultural relics that the China Cultural Relics Administration task force is looking for?"
"If this is the case, it is enough to prove that those smuggled antiques and cultural relics are in the hands of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi group."
"This cultural relic smuggling case jointly handled by the two countries should also be done by those bastards from the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi!"
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"I don't know about that. I'll find someone to ask about the situation later to see if it's as you said!"
"If this heavy bronze artifact is indeed a smuggled antique cultural relic, then the handling method needs to be adjusted!"
Hearing what he said, Zenitani Mami and Hasegawa could only nod.
However, they didn't quite believe what Xiao Ran said.
They were already convinced that Xiao Ran must know about this batch of smuggled antiques.
Even when he came to Japan this time, he came just for this batch of smuggled antiques and cultural relics. He just wanted to get these precious smuggled antiques and cultural relics back to China.
Who doesn't know now that he values China's top antique cultural relics and artworks much more than antiques and artworks from other countries.
He always tries his best to collect and trade top Chinese antiques and art that have been lost overseas, regardless of spending a lot of money.
How could he be willing to miss such a good opportunity?
Xiao Ran didn't care what they thought about Qian Gu Zhenmei, he didn't take it to heart at all.
He admired the late Shang bronze tripod for a while, and then turned his attention to another bronze vessel placed next to it.
This is a bronze bull statue, also from the late Shang Dynasty, also stained with rust. It is a Shang and Zhou bronze ware that was just unearthed!
Compared with the bronze tripod next to it, this bronze bull statue is slightly smaller, but it is also very exquisite, lifelike and lifelike.
The entire body is engraved with exquisite patterns, and there are three inscriptions engraved on the bottom. However, it is covered with green patina, making it difficult to see clearly.
To be precise, this bronze bull statue and the bronze tripod next to it are from the same era, and they are probably from the same late Shang tomb!
Needless to say, this is another priceless treasure!
When looking at the bronze bull statue, Xiao Ran was much faster. He didn't spend too much time, and he didn't give a detailed explanation or a positive identification conclusion.
When Qian Guzhenmei and the others asked, he only said that this might be a bronze from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and further identification was needed to confirm the result!
Regarding this, Qiangu Zhenmei and the others don’t believe it at all!
They understood that Xiao Ran must be very aware of the age, value, and authenticity of this treasure, but they just didn't say it.
After checking several pieces of bronze on the ground, Xiao Ran immediately walked to the museum shelf in front of the wall on the left and began to look at the treasures placed on this museum shelf.
He quickly glanced at everything on the museum shelf, then reached out and opened an exquisite gold and silver rosewood box.
The treasures contained in this gold and silver rosewood box are two exquisite black glazed lamps.
To be precise, these two jianzhan are not the same.
One is a rabbit hair lamp, and the other is a Yaobian Jian lamp. Each has its own characteristics, and both are extremely exquisite.
Even though he had already seen these two lamps through perspective, the moment he actually saw the real thing, Xiao Ran could not hide his surprise and excitement.
"I'll go! It turns out to be two Southern Song Dynasty jianzhan, and they are both exquisite works. It's really rare!"
"This guy Yamamoto Katsuyoshi is really my lucky star and a gift boy. He has given me so many top-notch antiques and works of art of astonishing value."
Hearing this, David and the others in the vault all laughed.
Several Japanese people, headed by Qian Guzhenmei, were all stunned on the spot, staring closely at the two Southern Song Dynasty lamps in the box, their eyes full of shock, envy and jealousy!
In Japan, black-glazed Jianzhan has always been regarded as a tea ceremony artifact.
Being able to use a black glaze cup to drink tea is even considered the highest etiquette and enjoyment of the tea ceremony.
And the Jianzhan from the Southern Song Dynasty is even more of an artifact among artifacts!
For example, the famous and unique Southern Song Dynasty Yaobian Tenmoku tea bowl has been listed as one of the most important national treasures by successive Japanese governments and has been enshrined!
Although the two Southern Song Dynasty tea bowls in the box are not as good as the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowls, they are still very rare and have great collection value!
Just when Qiangu Zhenmei and the others were stunned, Xiao Ran reached into the box, carefully took out the dagger lamp, and admired it with interest.
This small cup is funnel-shaped, with an open mouth and shallow ring feet. The carcass is thick, hard and dense, and the color of the carcass is purple-black.
The tea cup is glazed inside and outside, with the bottom exposed and the glaze dripping thickly. The glaze is brownish-blue, moist and shiny, and the precious light is faintly visible.
The exquisite rabbit hair pattern formed by the flowing and drooping glaze shows different shades and irregular shapes, like thousands of ravines on the plateau.
The color is thicker at the top and lighter at the bottom. Under the light, the black glaze flashes with countless gold-red light spots.
The colorful light reflected by the three flares inside the tea cup gives people a coquettish feeling, which is extremely dazzling and intoxicating!
And on the base of this Yaobian Jianzhan, there are two ancient and elegant Chinese characters engraved on it, for the emperor!
Just these two Chinese characters are enough to explain the origin and value of this Yaobian Jianzhan!
It is a tribute specially made for the royal family by the kiln built in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is extremely precious!
Just when Xiao Ran was intoxicatedly admiring this dazzling lamp, Qian Guzhenmei and the others finally woke up.
The next moment, the two guys took a step forward and looked at the jianzhan in Xiao Ran's hand with bright eyes.
"Mr. Sean, what do you think of these two black-glazed jade lamps? Can you tell me?"
"Are they the Southern Song Dynasty Jianzhan? I have to say, these two treasures are really exquisite!"
Xiao Ran looked at these two guys and nodded directly without hiding anything from them.
"Director Qian Gu, Director Hasegawa, I believe you all have a deep understanding of Jian Zhan, so there is no need for me to introduce you further."
"As for the Yaobian Jianzhan in my hand, I can say with certainty that it does come from the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is a tribute."
"The word "Gongyu" on the bottom is enough to explain its identity. There is no doubt about other aspects, it is true!"
"To be honest, I kind of like that guy Yamamoto Katsuyoshi now. If I had known he had so many treasures, I should have let him go!"
With his words, everyone laughed again.
Staring closely at the two Kantani Mami and Hasegawa, my heart felt extremely bitter.
You should have known that there are so many treasures in Yamamoto’s antique shop, why would it be your turn to loot them?
Even if we risk our reputation and lives, we will still loot this antique store!
After biting her molar teeth and secretly complaining a few words, Zenitani Mami said:
"Yes! Who would have thought that such an ordinary-looking antique shop could hide such an amazing treasure? It's incredible!"
"Mr. Sean, can you let us take a look at these two Southern Song Dynasty jianzhan? We have never seen many such perfect jianzhan."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Ran nodded immediately.
"Of course it's no problem, Director Qian Gu, of course you can start to appreciate these two lamps, just be a little more careful. You also know their value."
With that said, he put the Yaobian Jianzhan in his hand back into the rosewood box.
Just as Zenitani Mami and Hasegawa were about to come forward to admire these two treasures, Matthew, who was standing aside, suddenly asked curiously:
"Sean, are these two small black teacups really so precious?"
"If you valued them, what kind of valuation would you give them? Tell me."
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy, then nodded with a smile and said:
"These two Southern Song dynasty lamps have a history of eight or nine hundred years. Eight or nine hundred years ago, they were exclusive items for the emperor."
"At that time, they were very precious. Ordinary people were not qualified to use them, and they didn't even have the opportunity to see them."
"Eight or nine hundred years have passed, and their current value can be imagined. They are all top-notch antiques, cultural relics and works of art."
"Given the current market conditions, especially in Japan, which highly values jianzhan, the value of these two Southern Song Dynasty jianzhan is over US$10 million."
Not surprisingly, this valuation immediately attracted exclamations of surprise as soon as it was released.
"Oh my God! Such a small teacup is worth more than 10 million US dollars. It's crazy!"
"Wow! The value of these two treasures is much more expensive than gold. These are the most valuable treasures!"
Matthew and the guys on the ground exclaimed.
At this moment, Zenitani Mami suddenly said:
"If this Yaobian Jianzhan is confirmed to be a tribute from the imperial kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty, its value in the Japanese market should exceed 20 million US dollars!"
Following his words, the scene and the ground were in uproar again.
Next, Zenitani Mami and Hasegawa each picked up a jianzhan and admired it fascinatedly.
Seeing their obsessed looks, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh.
Then, he looked at another treasure on the museum shelf.
It was a Xuande blue and white jade vase, which was also top-grade antique porcelain.
Next, he discovered some amazingly valuable antiques and works of art.
These treasures are mainly porcelain, calligraphy and painting works, and some other treasures.
The countries they come from are mainly China, with fewer coming from Japan.
While Xiao Ran was admiring and appraising these treasures in the secret room, the news that he had discovered a large amount of gold and top-quality antiques and artworks had spread rapidly and reached countless people.
Everyone who heard the news was shocked and stunned.
Especially the guys in the Japanese antique store were so shocked that they felt so heartbroken that they almost died, and they felt extremely regretful.
After confirming that the news was correct, many people immediately flocked to the neighborhood where Yamamoto's antique shop is located, trying to witness this miracle with their own eyes.
More people are paying close attention to the situation here through various channels, such as social networks and news media.
at the same time.
In a luxurious office near Ginza, there was suddenly a furious roar.
"BaGeYaLu! This hateful bastard is simply a damn robber. This is not over!"
Yaobian Tianmu Jianzhan
