After seeing Yang Jing move the bronze statue out of the back seat, Cai Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. didn't care about the cold, Cai Yi directly took the bronze statue.
"Tsk, good thing!
Good stuff!
After looking at it for a long time, Cai Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"I said, you kid, why is your luck so good?
This bronze statue can really be enough to be a national treasure of India.
I said, where did you get this, boy?
” The weight of the bronze statue is not light, Yang Jing didn't want to tire the old man in front of him, so he stretched out his hand to take the bronze statue and said with a smile: "Uncle Cai, as your old man said, it's just luck."
The day before yesterday, I sent my daughter-in-law on the plane, and on the way back, I was going to go to my second aunt and grandmother to have a look, so I didn't take the airport expressway, but I met a big set in a village.
I thought to myself, it was still early, so I came down to take a stroll, and I accidentally found this bronze statue.
It cost me eight hundred."
"Eight, eight hundred?"
Cai Yi looked like he had seen a ghost, "Your missing pick is really big enough, I don't even know what to say about you." ” Yang Jing pretended to be a little embarrassed while walking: "Actually, there is more than this bronze statue, there are also a large number of manuscripts and documents from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods, oh yes, I also received a pair of Ru porcelain fragments, and a Longquan Ge kiln flower mouth plate" Cai Yi stumbled and almost arched his head to the ground.
After standing up straight, the old man's eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Jing and asked, "What about that plate?"
What about the porcelain shards?
” "Saorui, Uncle Cai, I didn't bring those things today.
But if you want to see it, I'll show you in a moment, I've rented a house and everything is there. ” "Then what are you hesitating about?
Walk!
Let's go!
Hearing this, this Lao Cai didn't look at the bronze statue anymore, and planned to pull Yang Jing away directly.
It's really shocking what Yang Jing said.
Ru porcelain fragments are easy to say, the key is that the flower mouth plate of the Longquan brother kiln is too precious.
The kiln is the only kiln that has not been confirmed in the five kilns of the Song Dynasty, and the Longquan kiln found now is also extremely rare, so every time there is a porcelain suspected of being a Longquan kiln, it will make everyone excited about this group of porcelain who are engaged in ancient porcelain research, not to mention that the plate in Yang Jing's hand is still a whole vessel, which is even more amazing.
In the eyes of these porcelain people who specialize in the study of ancient porcelain, even the Longquan Ge kiln has far more research value than the other four famous kilns of the Song Dynasty.
"Uncle Cai, why are you in a hurry?
The things are left at home, and they don't have long legs on their own, so they can't run.
If you want to see it, I can show it to you at any time.
However, I mainly want to talk about this bronze statue today, and at the same time, when I sorted out those manuscripts and documents yesterday, I found that many precious manuscripts are in urgent need of protection, so I would like to trouble you to find an expert who specializes in the preservation of ancient books and rare texts to follow along with the past, especially those precious manuscripts, which really need to be protected.
You may not know that there are six manuscripts of Master Lu Xun in those manuscripts."
Hearing this, Cai Yi's mouth opened wider.
Although he is a professional in the study of ancient porcelain, he also knows what Lu Xun's manuscript represents.
After being stunned for a long time, Cai Yi gradually calmed down, and said with a smile: "You kid, I don't know what to say about you!"
Well, I'll find you an expert, and we'll go over and see it later. ” As he spoke, the old man shook his head again and muttered in a low voice: "Others just find a fragment of Master Lu Xun's manuscript and can't they all be enshrined directly, you kid is good, one Tao is six!"
What kind of shit luck is this?"
The two of them soon came to Cai Yi's office, and at this time Cai Yi was not so anxious, but looked at the statue of Shiva, the dancing king, that Yang Jing had brought to inherit the Ganges River.
After looking at it for a long time, Cai Yi took out a lot of tools similar to instruments, tested them on this bronze statue one by one, and then took out a thick tome from the bookshelf and searched for it, then nodded and said: "That's right, this bronze statue is indeed from the Chola Dynasty in southern India in the ninth century, this bronze statue is an old object from the shape or from the pulp, and the most important thing is that on the utensils held by the left hand of this bronze statue, there is a carving in the Daro Bidian language."
Balandaga' four words. ” After a pause, Cai Yi explained: "The Chola Dynasty was a continuous dynasty established by the Indian Tamils from the first century to the seventeenth century AD, which experienced prosperity and decline, and lasted intermittently for nearly 1,600 years.
And this 'Balandhaga' is a key figure in the re-emergence of the Chola Dynasty in the ninth century AD, and is revered by the Indians as 'Balandhaga I'. ” "Although this Barandagha I reigned for only five years, during these five years, Barandagha I led the Tamils to fight in the north and south, and even annexed Pandea, and successfully invaded Ceylon, laying a solid foundation for the re-emergence of the Chola Dynasty."
"This bronze statue is believed to have been cast during the reign of Balandhaga I.
After the 5th century, Shivaism and Vishnu began to spread and became influential religions, and the Tamil Nadu region was also deeply influenced by the fierce worship of Lord Shiva and Vishnu in society.
In the ninth century, during the reign of Balandaga I, the Shiva sect reached its heyday, and it happened that Balandhaga I enjoyed a very high reputation among the people, so it is not impossible for some people to worship Balandaga I with the help of Lord Shiva.
Of course, if I were to see it, I would prefer to believe that this bronze statue was the work of the Chola royal family during the reign of Barandakhara I. ” "In the ninth century, the Indian folk should not have such a sophisticated craft, and it was not in the royal family that such a beautiful bronze statue of Shiva could be cast.
And according to historical records, although the person of Barandagha I was very capable, he was a person who thought very highly of himself.
Moreover, successive victories in the conquest are likely to inflate the self-confidence of this illustrious king, and even proclaim himself as a god. ” Yang Jing smiled and said, "So, this great and wise king ordered the casting of a batch of such Shiva statues, and carved his name on the utensils held by Lord Shiva's left hand, in a vain attempt to incarnate into a god like Shiva."
But I am afraid that it was this anger of the king that allowed the king to sit on the throne for only five years."

Cai Yi smiled and nodded.
In fact, it is not difficult to identify this bronze statue.
After all, this is a bronze statue of Lord Shiva, which has a supreme position in India, and ordinary Indians would not dare to desecrate this supreme god at all, let alone make this supreme god fake.
Although there are countless statues of Lord Shiva in India, the modern statues are completely different from those made more than 1,000 years ago, so it is not difficult to determine the identity of this bronze statue.
"Yang Zi, the identity of this bronze statue can be determined, so let's have a good talk.
You didn't bring those precious manuscripts and the Longquan Ge kiln flower mouth plate, but only brought such a bronze statue of India, do you want to make a move?
” Yang Jing nodded and said, "Hmm."
Uncle Cai, I don't have a sense of Indian idols, and I don't bother to collect such things, so I want to find a way to sell them.
Do you see if you need such a bronze statue?
” Cai Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Of course you need to, although this bronze statue is a bronze statue of India, it is also a valuable treasure."
Whether it's Poly or Guardian, they need such a baby.
But Yang Zi, this time is not very good, and the spring auction is still a while away.
What do you mean?"
Yang Jing said with a smile: "Uncle Cai, it's the same as the Qianlong blue and white five bats holding the longevity ear bottle last time, you ask, see how much money you can accept, I can sell it to you directly." ” Listening to what Yang Jing said, Cai Yi also said dryly: "Yang Zi, you should also know that two years ago, Christie's held an auction in New York, and there was a bronze statue similar to your bronze statue on it. ” Yang Jing nodded and said: "I know, it was an auction held by Christie's for Mr.
Ellsworth's collection, and I also know that there is a statue of Shiva, the dancing king of the Chola Dynasty, which was also cast by the Chola Dynasty in the ninth century.
It's just that the bronze statue of Mr.
An Siyuan is inferior to mine in terms of appearance and size. ” "If you know, it's good."
Cai Yi nodded and said, "And you should also know that the bronze statue that Mr.
Ellsworth once treasured was sold for $2.85 million at that auction."
In the past two years, India's economy has risen rapidly, and the price of India's precious cultural relics in the international auction market has shown a rapid growth trend.
As you just said, the bronze statue in your hand is better and larger than the bronze statue in Mr.
Ellsworth's collection, both in terms of quality and size, so it is conservatively estimated that if your bronze statue is auctioned, $3 million should be the guaranteed price. ” After a pause, Cai Yi continued: "Whether it is Poly or Guardian, they have been planning to enter the Indian market in the past two years, but if they want to enter the Indian market smoothly, they still need an auction with enough influence.
However, in this regard, Guardian is slightly ahead of Poly.
As far as I know, Guardian is preparing to plan an Indian auction, which should be after next year's spring auction, and Guardian has also collected a lot of Indian antiques.
I think that if you give this bronze statue to Guardian, it will definitely be set as a blockbuster auction item, even if it is not impossible to use it as a finale auction item. ” Yang Jing nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Cai, then I will give you this bronze statue for three million dollars?"
As for whether you want to hand it over to Guardian or Poly, then you have to decide. ” "Good!
I'm going to call them. ” Because I have already made a transaction before, this transaction is still very smooth.
In the end, Cai Yi decided to hand over the bronze statue to Guardian to deal with.
It's not that Cai Yi is unwilling to hand over this bronze statue to Poly to deal with, but because Guardian has to be one step faster in entering the Indian market.
And if this bronze statue of India's national treasure wants to be auctioned at a good price, it will naturally have to be handed over to Guardian, who is more prepared.
After learning that there was a bronze statue of India's national treasure, and the seller was the person who had just dealt with it more than ten days ago, the senior management of Guardian immediately did not hesitate to auction three million dollars and directly pocketed the bronze statue.
As Cai Yi just said, Guardian is preparing to hold an auction in Mumbai, India after the spring auction next year, and now there is such a bronze statue of India's national treasure, and the price is very appropriate, and after the appraisal of their guest appraiser, if they don't buy this bronze statue, it will be called collective brain damage.
If next year's India auction is a success, the statue alone will bring Guardian at least $2 million in net revenue, if not more.
As for the unsuccessful auction, this is almost impossible.
If this bronze statue really appears in the Indian auction, it will definitely make the Indian tyrants go crazy.
There is a big gap between poverty in India, and the poor people can only cover a band-aid when they can't sleep at night, but the rich people are really called a rich person.
Take Mukesh, India's richest man, who was the richest man in the world ten years ago!
As for the other tycoons in India, such as India's steel tycoon Mittal, India's drug tycoon Dilip Shanwe, and India's kicked giant Achim Premki The 57 richest people in India control 70% of the wealth of the whole of India!
And most of these rich people are very much worshipping Lord Shiva.
If these tycoons make a move, this bronze statue will definitely not be sold!
It is precisely because of these important reasons that the senior management of Guardian will not hesitate to buy this bronze statue directly with money.
The transaction went very smoothly, and after Cai Yi signed the relevant agreement with Yang Jing on behalf of Guardian, he directly used US dollars into Yang Jing's card according to Yang Jing's request.
Even the handling fee, Guardian has paid it on his behalf.
Last time, through the transaction of the Qianlong blue and white five bats holding longevity ear bottles, Guardian and other high-level executives also learned from Cai Yi about the potential of Yang Jing, a young man.
Of course, auction houses like to have a good relationship with this kind of person with great potential, and the fee is regarded as promoting the relationship between the two parties.

After doing all this, Cai Yi said with a smile: "Yang Zi, I have done everything for you, should we talk about your Longquan Brother Kiln Huakou plate and those manuscripts?"
” Yang Jing smiled: "I don't dare to ask for it." ” Cai Yi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, happy!"
I'll find you an expert who specializes in the preservation of ancient books and good texts, and let's go over and see the treasures you have found. ” As he spoke, Cai Yi grabbed the phone on his desk: "Lao Guo, I'm Lao Cai, do you have time now, well, I'll wait for you in the office, you can hurry up, this junior of mine has six manuscripts of Master Lu Xun in his hands."
Then Yang Jing vaguely heard the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground from the microphone
