The next day, at 12 noon, Zhong Yu received a call from Su Qingyu.
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the bronze expert will come to identify it. Come back."
"Okay. My wife's connections are really strong!"
"Haha." Su Qingyu sneered and hung up the phone.
She couldn't wait to see Zhong Yu's embarrassment after being slapped in the eye. It would be exciting to see how arrogant he would be in the future!
With this matter, he will be able to control him for at least two years in the future!
At two forty in the afternoon, Zhong Yu returned to the villa.
Su Qingyu wears an OL suit, has a devil's figure, an angel's face, and a noble and capable temperament, making her the ultimate career woman.
She had just returned from the company not long ago.
Zhong Yu stood in front of the ancient bronze cauldron, knocked on the ancient cauldron, and listened intently to the sound.
Su Qingyu crossed his arms across his chest, looking at Zhong Yu's actions, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips: He is really crazy about money.
At around 2:50, the bronze expert arrived.
Su Qingyu gave a brief introduction to Zhong Yu and the bronze experts, and then specifically emphasized that Zhong Yu bought the bronze tripod.
It was so embarrassing, she had to put it aside, lest word get out and she would be ridiculed.
As for what she spent 100,000 yuan on, she didn't disclose.
In addition to worrying that I would be implicated in the joke, I was mainly worried that the bronze expert would turn around and leave immediately after hearing it.
The bronze expert is called Dai Xian. He is an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, a goatee, a pair of glasses, and a blue master's robe, looking like a master from the previous dynasty.
Dai Xian brought a large box of tools and instruments, as well as two apprentices.
When a bronze expert was appraising the bronze tripod, Zhong Yu couldn't help but approach Su Qingyu and whispered in Su Qingyu's ear: "Is it reliable? Why do you look like a liar?"
In his opinion, only liars need to dress themselves up like masters.
Su Qingyu rolled her eyes at Zhong Yu and disdained to answer.
Ignorant people are really fearless and dare to say anything.
Dai Xian is a bronze expert who has been famous for more than 20 years. He is the No. 1 presence in the Magic City. He has excavated and identified more than 30 ancient bronze artifacts, the highest one worth more than 200 million!
"Hey, say something." Zhong Yu said.
Su Qingyu: "You are the one who is unreliable. I warn you, you must not reveal how much you spent, otherwise I will never be done with you!"
"Hehe, I'm not a fool. I definitely won't tell anyone about it to avoid being exposed." Zhong Yu said with a smile.
Su Qingyu was speechless for a while, as the conversation was not on the same channel.
Dai Xian and his two apprentices worked hard all afternoon and finally got the result.
He said excitedly: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhong and Miss Su, you have found a big treasure!"
Su Qingyu couldn't help being shocked and in disbelief, thinking that he heard wrongly: "What did you say?"
"You have found a big treasure!" Dai Xian said, "Mr. Zhong has a good eye, Dai admires it!"
Zhong Yu glanced at Su Qingyu proudly, and then said to Dai Xian: "Which dynasty does this thousand-year-old ancient bronze tripod belong to? I think it is at least two thousand years old."
"It turns out that you are an expert in ancient bronze artifacts, so I am disrespectful." Dai Xian said politely, cupping his hands.
Zhong Yu smiled and returned the favor: "Don't dare."
Dai Xian continued: "This ancient bronze tripod is incredible. It is a bronze ware from the Qin State during the Warring States Period. It is cast using the lost wax method. The craftsmanship is exquisite and complex. It is breathtaking. It has high historical research value and collection value. The valuation can refer to the national treasure cloud pattern copper ban."
When Su Qingyu heard this, he was even more shocked and his almond-shaped eyes widened: "Master Dai, don't be joking. The cloud-patterned copper ban is one of the first 64 cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad. It is a priceless treasure!"
Dai Xian smiled and said: "The cloud-patterned copper ban was unearthed from the Chu State, and our ancient bronze tripod was unearthed from the Qin State. The difference in age is only two to three hundred years at most."
"Mr. Zhong, how did you know its origin?" Dai Xian asked.
Zhong Yu: "Guess."
Seeing that Zhong Yu refused to reveal it, Dai Xian did not ask further. He said, "This treasure must have impressed many experts."
He went on to explain: "First of all, it has too little patina and looks relatively new; secondly, its craftsmanship seems to be too exquisite and complicated and does not match the era."
"I'm also very confused." Su Qingyu said.
Dai Xian stroked his beard and smiled: "I was also puzzled at first, but after careful inspection, I suddenly realized it."
"This big treasure has been cleaned with hydrochloric acid, and the technique was rough. It was not done by professionals. According to my inspection of the patina, the treasure was cleaned with hydrochloric acid about seventy or eighty years ago, that is, seventy or eighty years ago. During the war period. I guess the original owner was trying to hide it from others.”
"The exquisite and complex craftsmanship also made many colleagues think it was a forgery. Little did they know that the lost wax method is so wonderful. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, our ancestors were able to create amazing handicrafts."
Su Qingyu suddenly realized it and couldn't help but turn his eyes and glance at Zhong Yu. How could he see that so many experts had been blinded?
Zhong Yu noticed Su Qingyu's gaze and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, looking proud.
Su Qingyu felt angry. He wanted to embarrass Zhong Yu, but he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face instead. He could only curse in his heart: frivolous! Exaggerated! The villain succeeds!
Dai Xian continued: "However, as the saying goes, Xiao He loses Xiao He. This thousand-year-old ancient tripod has been cleaned with unprofessional methods. In addition, it was not cherished and maintained during the period of Baoguang's obscurity. There are some bumps and bumps on the tripod. The value of the scratches has dropped a lot.”
"Even so, my personal valuation starts at 50 million, with no upper limit!"
Finally, he handed Zhong Yu a certificate of identification signed and sealed by himself.
Su Qingyu recovered from the shock and took out his mobile phone to transfer money to Dai Xian to express his gratitude: "Can you keep this ancient bronze artifact secret for a while and not reveal it to anyone?"
"Miss Su, please don't worry, I understand the rules." Dai Xian said.
After sending Dai Xian away and returning to the living room, Su Qingyu looked at Zhong Yu with complicated eyes.
She didn't think Zhong Yu knew anything about antiques at all. She knew Zhong Yu's life experience, so how could she have any chance to specialize in antiques.
"What are you going to do with this thousand-year-old ancient bronze tripod?" she asked.
Zhong Yu said calmly: "This is a birthday gift for your grandfather. I originally bought it as a birthday gift. The ancient tripod has always had a special meaning. I think he will like it very much if I give it to him on his eightieth birthday."
"But I can't give you that much cash at the moment." Su Qingyu was embarrassed.
She ostensibly owns the Qingyuan Group, which has a market value of several hundred million, but if she is really asked to spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions in cash, it will cost a lot, and Qingyuan Group may go bankrupt.
Zhong Yu said nonchalantly: "It's only one hundred thousand yuan, so you don't need to reimburse me."
At this moment, looking at Zhong Yu's handsome face and eyes as bright as stars, Su Qingyu was really moved.
At least 50 million. If it were put up for auction, it might be several hundred million.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Zhong Yu took a step to the side, half-shrinking his body, and shouted with a fearful and worried look, "Don't think so wildly that you agreed to a fake marriage."
Su Qingyu came back to his senses and became angry in an instant. He made a pink fist and punched someone in the face.
She swore that she would beat that playful smiling face to pieces!
When Zhong Yu saw this, he turned around and ran away.
While Su Qingyu was chasing and beating him, he cursed: "You shameless narcissist, even if I become a nun, I will never marry you!"
"What's so great about a piece of junk! As long as I'm willing, a lot of people are willing to spend 10 billion and line up to marry me!"
