As the appraisal process unfolds at any time, the data on this treasure suspected to be left by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, becomes more and more abundant.
Especially the identification of its metal composition, the final conclusion was that the gold content was 78.3% and the brass content was 21.7%.
These two sets of data are very close to the 80% gold and 20% copper data recorded in historical books. Because they were in different eras and had different levels of science and technology, the two sets of data can even be said to be consistent.
Judging from the composition ratio, this is not a bronze gong, but a genuine gold gong.
The relationship with the twelve-sided golden gong recorded in history is one step closer.
On the fourth day of identification, both the existing data and historical records can prove that there is a 90% chance that this golden gong is one of the twelve-sided golden gongs forged by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.
There is still a set of data missing, which is to trace the source. If the place of origin is the same as recorded in historical records, or belongs to the same large area, then the entire identification process will be completed.
As for the origin of this golden gong, probably only Li Mo knows the clues.
With everyone's eager expectations, Li Mo dialed the number of the old man who was in the second-hand goods business, and was quickly connected.
"Uncle, I am Gu Yunxuan Li Mo."
"Hello, little boss, thank you so much. With your money, I have sent my son to a rehabilitation hospital for treatment. Experts say there is still hope that he can get rid of the crutches and walk normally."
"This is really good news, uncle. Spend the money I give you first. If you don't have enough, you will tell me. To be honest with you, the antique you sold me has been appraised by experts as being worth a lot of money."
"Little boss, if you can say these things to me, it shows that you are a magnanimous person. I am not the kind of stupid person who is ungrateful for profit. I can still hold half a million yuan, but no matter how much money I have, I will not be safe with it." . I am currently in my hometown and will return to Magic City in a few days to continue my second-hand goods business. If I encounter any suspicious second-hand goods again, I will contact you immediately."
"Uncle, if you can't contact me, go to Gu Yunxuan to find my master, Yanagawa Kei, the owner of that store. In addition, I'm calling you and I have another question I want to ask you about, that is, did you ask that antique person at that time? Did the master ask about the calendar?"
"I really asked a few more questions. The man was nearly eighty years old and couldn't remember many things clearly, but he did talk about it intermittently. I don't know if it was of any use."
Li Mo immediately turned on the speakerphone so that everyone present could hear.
"Uncle, please tell me about the situation at that time. Maybe it will be useful to me."
"Let me think about it, the young boss. At that time, he mentioned that his son was in the rice wine business when he was alive. He went to discuss cooperation with the manufacturer for the coming year. I don't know what happened. The agency rights were not signed. Later, his son I was very depressed and went to a nearby tourist attraction for a few days to relax."
"That antique must have been bought at that time. I didn't say anything to him after I put it at home. Anyway, my son died in an accident not long after, so the antique has been kept at home. But the old man didn't know that it was a valuable antique. Just deal with it and sell it casually. That’s about it, little boss, I wonder if it’s helpful to you?”
"I'm not sure if it's useful yet. I'll communicate with the experts here. Uncle, I'll hang up now."
"Goodbye, little boss."
Li Mo hung up the phone and said, "There seems to be no information worth referring to."
"Without further source identification, this golden gong cannot be named after the twelve-faced golden gong of the Overlord of Western Chu." Professor Wu was a little regretful, and other professors and experts also whispered about it, all a little regretful. After all, the relationship between the twelve-faced golden gong To a treasure recorded in history books.
If one could collect twelve golden gongs, their value would be unimaginable.
What's more, it is also speculated in history that the wealth of the Qin Dynasty was plundered by the overlord of Western Chu. Even if it was later acquired by Liu Bang, the world speculates that part of the wealth should be buried in another place by Xiang Yu.
That place may be related to the place where the twelve golden gongs are buried.
But now the identification of the gold gong cannot be conclusively confirmed, which makes the historical legend once again become a mystery.
"Li Mo, you discovered this golden gong. If it cannot be finally identified, what are your thoughts on naming it?" Gu Qiao
There are many regrets in Professor Wu's words.
"Professor Wu, that's what I'm thinking about. I will arrange for people to do a detailed investigation on the origin of this golden gong to see if we can find any new clues. As for naming it, we might as well call it the Qin and Han Dynasties. The second zodiac sign is the golden gong.”
"This is quite practical." Professor Wu agreed with this naming.
"In addition, regarding the news about the golden gong of the twelve zodiac signs of Qin and Han Dynasties, we will not announce it to the public for the time being. We will wait until the people I have arranged to investigate it."
Shi Ziming nodded and said: "Do it according to your idea first. After all, even if it is not one of the twelve-sided golden gongs left by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, its value is very high just because it is a golden gong left from the Qin and Han Dynasties. high."
Li Mo had long estimated that even if the pure gold in the golden gong was extracted, it would be worth more than 20 million. In terms of historical value, based on its casting technology and historical background, it is also a national treasure.
The golden gongs of the Qin and Han zodiac signs will be temporarily stored in the basement and will not be announced or displayed to the public.
When Li Mo walked out of the Kyoto Museum, he first called Chen Xiaojun and found out that he had joined the Millennium Collection Company and was temporarily part of the security department.
"Xiaojun, there is something important that you need to do."
"Uncle Junior, please tell me, I will definitely handle the things you tell me."
Li Mo explained the matter clearly, and finally said: "I will send you the mobile phone number of the owner of the second-hand goods business later, and you can talk to him carefully. In addition, ask your sister-in-law to withdraw three dollars from the finance department first. 100,000 yuan for the activity. The more clearly the investigation is done, the better. If there is really no breakthrough, I will think of other ways."
"Understood, I'll be ready to leave now."
"Be careful and take care of yourself when you are out there alone."
After arranging the investigation, Li Mo took a taxi back to the dormitory of Beijing University. The appraisal work of Jin Luo over there is temporarily suspended, and he will have to participate in normal military training here.
After taking a hot shower, Li Mo checked the messages on his phone. It was sent by Professor Wu. It was the contact information of his class counselor, whose surname was Jia.
The phone rang for more than thirty seconds, and when I was about to hang up, a woman's voice came from inside.
"Hello."
"Hello Teacher Jia, my name is Li Mo. Because I had something to do before, Professor Wu reported to me to take leave and did not participate in the class meeting and military training. Now the matter here has come to an end, so I would like to ask what will happen tomorrow? Arranged?"
"It's classmate Li Mo. Professor Zhu and Professor Wu have both told me about your situation. The military training has been going on for several days. You don't need to participate anymore. I will introduce you to my classmates when the military training is over and the class meeting begins. them."
"Teacher Jia, I can make my own arrangements during this time."
"Well, classmate Li Mo, I am your counselor. If you have any needs in life, please contact me."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Jia."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mo thought for a while and called Niu Sanpang again, asking him about the specific schedules of other auction companies' autumn auctions. Now that he had time to participate on site, he still didn't want to miss the opportunity.
"Master Li, there are currently five auction houses participating in the autumn auction. The time has been negotiated and divided into ten sessions, with two rounds. The order of each round will be determined by drawing lots. I will send you the specific time schedule."
"Okay, I will go to the scene then."
Li Mo ended the call with Niu Sanpang and quickly received the autumn auction schedule. He saw that Niu Sanpang's New Century Auction House was the first auction in the first round and the fourth auction in the second round.
If this is the case, he does not need to raise funds again. As long as Sanpang's first auction is over, he can get part of the account first, and then he can buy suitable auction items when he encounters them.
