Tomorrow is the first day of registration for new students. Li Mo saw that there was nothing to do and simply left early. Niu Sanpang has been relatively low-key in the past year or two. He has made a fortune quietly and controlled many promising companies through various investment methods.
As his net worth continues to rise, he has become increasingly low-key.
When Li Mo drove to the agreed private club, San Pang, Wen Jun, and a large group of young men who followed San Pang in the circle stood at the door to greet him.
"Hello Mr. Li."
Wen Jun was the first to rush forward and open the car door for Li Mo, his attitude was extremely respectful.
"Mr. Wen, long time no see. Judging from your complexion, you must be in a pretty good mood recently."
"That's necessary. I've invested in several projects with Mr. Li and they are starting to make profits. Judging from the trend, the profits will be at least ten times more in the future. It's weird to make money every day and not be happy. Mr. Niu and I They were just discussing to form a large inspection group to go to Yun Province, and they will definitely make a lot of money by following you."
"If you really have spare money and want to invest it, then go and talk to my senior sister."
"Okay."
Niu Sanpang was much more stable. He shook hands with Li Mo and said directly: "The things are inside, just waiting for you to go over and take a look."
"Who brought it here?"
"An old family member of a friend." Niu Sanpang pointed to a thirty-year-old man next to him, "It's one of his cousins who collects junk in his hometown. He looks very weird. You'll know when you see him later. ”
Li Mo did not answer, but followed Wen Jun into a private room. In the private room, there was a middle-aged man in his fifties with dark skin who was drinking a bottle of soda. When he saw so many people pouring in, he stood up in fright. .
"Mr. Li, that's him."
Wenjun pointed at the middle-aged man, and then pointed at a long box on the coffee table. Li Mo walked to the side, and many people suddenly surrounded him. When he opened the wooden box and took a look, he was stunned. No wonder Niu Sanpang said it was weird and he had never seen it before. Let alone him, I haven't even seen him.
This is a bronze vessel, a bronze arm to be precise. The shape of the bronze hand is very realistic. It is obviously a right hand, but the shape is slightly smaller than an adult hand. The overall shape is half-grip, with the palm of the hand concave and the back of the hand slightly convex. The proportions of the fingers are moderate, the knuckles are clearly visible, the fingertips are rounded, and even the details of the nails are clearly shown.
There are two vertical grooves on each finger, and the back of the hand is decorated with a Taotie pattern. Only half of the animal face remains. Among them, the eye-shaped eyes are particularly prominent, and there are cirrus patterns under the Taotie pattern. The cross-section of the wrist is oval, and traces of the carbonized wooden handle remain in the lower handle cavity. The entire palm is about 13 centimeters long and about 6 centimeters at its widest point. The surface is a uniform green rust, and you can tell at a glance that it really comes from the soil, rather than being hand-made.
Li Mo made this judgment in his heart, and a golden light flashed through the strange boy. The mysterious bronze hand in front of him emitted a colorful halo, and then turned into colorful circles of light and spread out. Streams of colorful energy quickly merged into his eyes, turning into strands of cool gas and flowing into his body, making the scorching heat suddenly feel cooler.
After about ten seconds, the colorful energy was completely absorbed. Li Mo withdrew his gaze from the alien child, then looked at the frightened middle-aged man standing aside and asked, "What is this gentleman's name?"
"My surname is Wan, and my hometown is in the middle of Hebei Province, near the Taihang Mountains. Mr. Li, just call me Lao Wan. You can ask whatever you want."
After all, he is running a small business, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.
"Lao Wan, why do you think this thing is an antique?"
"I just travel around a lot and see a lot, so I have this suspicion. In addition, when my family and I were traveling, we happened to pass by the altar of Xia Yu, so when I received this thing, I suddenly thought about whether this could be It’s also true.”
Li Mo pondered: "How much did you spend to buy it?"
"The weighing scale was taken from home by an old man in his seventies. The old man had cataracts in his eyes. Is there anyone else at home? I looked very pitiful, so I gave him an extra twenty yuan."
Unexpectedly, Lao Wan was quite thoughtful. Li Mo nodded and said, "Lao Wan, this strange bronze hand is indeed real. It probably dates from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, about 2,500 to 3,000 years ago. You You may not be aware, but in our country it is prohibited to buy or sell genuine bronzes, and if discovered, it will be a felony."
Lao Wan was dumbfounded. He really didn't know this.
"You should think too much and don't worry about anything. Just hand over this bronze ware from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period to the authorities. After the official identification, they may reward you with a sum of money. But this kind of bronze ware is very strange. It’s unclear exactly where it is used.”
"Mr. Li, you are the authority in this area, can't I leave it to you?"
"give it to me?"
Li Mo looked at the mysterious hand in the box, and then leaned forward to smell it. There was a faint earthy smell, and it turned out to be something that had just been unearthed. This was a little different.
"Old Wan, does that old man have any other bronzes at home?"
"Yes, I saw a few fragments in the corner of the yard, and the surface was covered with green rust like this."
Li Mo frowned slightly. Could it be that a large tomb appeared near Taihang Mountain. Bronze antiquities from two to three thousand years ago can only be found when they are excavated from underground tombs. The old man had cataracts in his eyes and couldn't see clearly. He didn't know what it was, so he didn't take it seriously. To find out the situation, you can only go to the local area and see for yourself.
"Mr. Wen, first give 100,000 yuan to Mr. Wan. This strange bronze hand has some origins. I will immediately take him to the relevant bronze experts for appraisal."
"Okay, I'll arrange the finances right now."
"Brother, this is really an antique that is thousands of years old." Niu Sanpang couldn't help but take out the strange bronze hand and carefully looked at the symbol on the palm: "This is a bit like an eye. You said the ancients carved eyes into their hands. What's the meaning?"
"I can't tell what the meaning of this strange bronze hand is, but during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the mysterious symbols or patterns on the things left by the dignitaries at that time had certain meanings. If I look at it from my perspective, , Eyes are used to see the world, which is called seeing the world in the eyes. And the eyes are carved in the palm, which represents the meaning of the universe in the palm. In general, its owner hopes to control the world and become the master of all peoples."
When Li Mo said this, he realized: "Perhaps this strange bronze hand was dug out from the tomb of a certain ruler during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. No, this matter is very important, I will take the first step. .”
Carrying the mysterious bronze hand, Li Mo drove hurriedly towards the Kyoto Museum. On the way, I contacted Director Shi and asked him and a group of bronze experts to wait. There was an incredible bronze that they needed to identify together.
The bronze experts at the Kyoto Museum were all excited about what Li Mo said was remarkable. Now Li Mo is a recognized expert in treasure appraisal in China, and even he is very cautious, which shows that the bronze in his hand is really of great origin.
During the rush hour after get off work, Li Mo's car was stuck in traffic jam for nearly half an hour, and he didn't arrive at the Kyoto Museum until early six o'clock. However, no one complained. Instead, eight people gathered around him as soon as he appeared.
