Chapter 121 How to legally play with ivory in the country
"Brothers, let's toast Brother Biao."

Zhang Yang poured half a cap of water into the lid of the water glass, and drank it in one gulp facing the camera.

The sense of ceremony is full.

"Come on, welcome to the next treasure friend."

[Just toast, right? 】

[The anchor perfectly interprets what it means to pretend]

【Can you show brother Biao some respect】

"It's not disrespectful. He's on probation. It's best to drink less. What if you tell the truth after drinking?"

Zhang Yang was very thoughtful.

"Welcome to [Jingdi Township in London]. Baoyou, are you really a native of Porcelain City?"

"It's a real person from Jingdi Town, as if it's fake."

Baoyou's voice sounds young. If he is really in London, he is probably an overseas student.

"I guess, you want to show us a piece of porcelain, or is it from Jingdi Town?"

"Hey, yes."

A porcelain plate with a white background appeared in the lens, and the edge of the black pattern shone golden under the light.

This is a very open, ink and gilt plate.

Compared with its craftsmanship, what is more interesting is the theme of the decoration on it-a "Passion of Jesus".

[Baoyou, duck blood is not on this plate]

[Should it be foreign trade porcelain?There is no market for this kind of theme in the country]

[Whether this kind of plate is for offering or for use, it's so awkward]

Zhang Yang also felt shocked when he saw this thing.

It's like drawing a Buddha at the bottom of the bowl, although it can be used, but as soon as you pull half of the rice in the bowl, you can see the Buddha smiling at you at the bottom of the bowl...

Perhaps ancient Chinese porcelain, in the eyes of foreigners, is indeed only a work of art, not a daily necessities.

"The thing is real. It was in the early Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It should be foreign trade porcelain at that time."

"Huh~" After listening to Zhang Yang's identification, Baoyou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you teacher, now I can convince my dad."

"Persuade your father?"

Zhang Yang felt a little strange, didn't rich buddies overseas students just buy this kind of thing of several thousand yuan?

So he inquired: "Is there any story about this thing?"

"It's not a story, it's my dad. He specializes in firing porcelain. He said that it is impossible to burn such things in Jingdi Town. It's too shameful..."

"Is your father's name Li Laoqi?" Zhang Yang asked in a strange way.

"Eh? Teacher, do you know my seventh uncle?" Baoyou was surprised.

"My seventh uncle's son is also studying here. It's a pity. If I had connected with you two days earlier, I could still say hello. He just returned to China, and it seems that something happened at home."

"That's really a pity." Zhang Yang held back a smile and nodded.

He knew what happened to Li Laoqi.

The big brother on the list has now gone deep into the Hedong Group, and the news of Li Laoqi's arrest has already reached Zhang Yang.

"You have the same item in the British Museum, so it's very open."

"Although the Qing Dynasty was closed to the outside world, foreigners were not affected when they came to buy things. This should be a batch of foreign trade porcelain ordered by Christians in Jingdi Town at that time."

"Teacher, is something like this valuable?"

The most concerned thing for Baoyou who plays "reflow porcelain" is always the issue of value.

"In the domestic market, there is not much interest in this kind of subject matter. Looking at the craftsmanship of ink and color painting, it can give thousands of dollars."

"Xiaoqian, Zhongqian, or Daqian?"

"The value is around Zhongqian."

"That's about the same. I bought it for 6000 yuan."

"Is it really similar?" Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows: "Did you forget that there is a thing called tariffs."

"Ten years ago, this kind of returned cultural relics could make a small fortune. Now, except for the big ones that can be auctioned, it is basically a loss to buy them back."

【I'm heartbroken, Tie Zi】

[It is genuine and has not lost money, more than 90% of the people]

[Be bold, 99%]

[Provincial flow: Buying back flow porcelain is sending money to foreigners]

……

After sending away the heartbroken Baoyou who played with porcelain, another master of ceramic sculpture ushered in the live broadcast room.

"Baoyou, your thing has a history of at least 4000 years!"

Zhang Yang looked at the naive Tao Niu in front of him and said.

A pottery sculpture no bigger than a palm, depicting a big horned ox with black stripes on the horns and body.

The round eyes look a little silly.

[Brave and awesome, not afraid of difficulties]

[Isn't this the big buffalo? 】

[More than 4000 years ago, wasn't that the Western Zhou Dynasty]

Zhang Yang originally thought it was something from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the item information showed that it was a product of the Indus Valley culture more than 4000 years ago.

Artifacts of South Asia.

And the big data also matched another information, this kind of pottery cow has the same style in the British Museum.

"Teacher, is this from our country? I bought it when I was traveling in India."

Baoyou didn't seem to know the true origin of the thing. When he connected to the mic just now, this thing was placed on his computer desktop.

"No, this is something from the Indus Valley culture, where cows are gods."

"They carve cows, just like we carve dragons."

"Then what is the value of this kind of thing? If not, I will continue to put it on the table."

"You can make a small glass cover for it." Zhang Yang made a small suggestion: "This kind of pottery cow is in the collection of the British Museum, and it is still valuable for collection."

"Ah? The plate just now is also in their collection. Why do they have so many?"

"It's not hiding, it's searching. When the sun never sets on the empire, all the cultural relics flow to them. Otherwise, how could they collect more than 800 million items in the collections on several islands." Zhang Yang shook his head and said.

[Fuck, more than 800 million pieces]

【Global cultural relic base camp branding with you】

[I have been to the British Museum once, and there are really many Dunhuang murals there]

[There are no Chinese cultural relics below the second level hidden there]

"There are so many, if I steal 100 pieces a day, it will take more than 200 years?" Baoyou said in surprise.

Zhang Yang was amused by this treasure friend's brain hole. He is indeed an amateur collector who can buy cultural relics when traveling in India. He has something.

"Calm down bro, you won't be able to move most of the stuff inside."

"That's right, forget it. Teacher, help me look at this Tao Niu again. This should be from China, right?"

Baoyou took out a brocade box, inside which was a pottery sculpture of a yellow ox, which was slightly larger than the one in India. The image of the cow was the same as the yellow ox in rural China, with short horns, and the sculpture was lifelike.

"This is something from the Central Plains culture in our country, and it should be a funeral object from the Western Han Dynasty."

"How did Baoyou get here?"

Seeing the brocade box, Zhang Yang felt that there was a high probability that he also bought this pottery cow from the Western Han Dynasty.

But Baoyou said: "Heirloom."

"You ask that it is inherited from the ancestors. Can it be said that it is impossible to dig?"

"My certificates are all complete, if you don't believe me, take a look..."

"Don't look at it." Zhang Yang waved his hand: "There is a high probability that the Internet police will call you later, and then you can directly report the serial number of the certificate to him. There is really a problem, and you can't escape."

"Hey, if you only make calls, can't I just turn off my phone?" Baoyou said silly.

"Don't let it go." Zhang Yang smiled more happily than him: "You see, if the police don't come to the door, it's over."

……

"Why are all the brothers fighting against the museum today?"

[Because there is a reference, it is easy to find the real product]

【Yes, at least you won’t buy fake ones】

[Maybe a museum closed down]

Zhang Yang's pupils shrank when he saw the last barrage.

The Hailin Museum was indeed close to closure.

Zhang Yang originally thought that since it is a decades-old museum with a good reputation, the visitor flow should resume soon.

Unexpectedly, during the time he went to Yangcheng, he didn't know who started it. On Little Sweet Potato, Baijiahao, and the official accounts of major travel websites, there were people who took the lead.

It is said: Do not go to the Hailin Museum when traveling near the sea, and "avoid the pit" and "save your life".

Fortunately, the coffin of the father-in-law in the Southern Han Dynasty in Yangcheng was hard enough.

It was enough for Mr. Zhong to have a reason to play a role in the middle, so that the curator of the Yangcheng Museum agreed to Zhang Yang's request for "borrowing exhibitions".

And instead of borrowing the exhibition once, it will be divided into three times, and all the cultural relics on display in the entire Yangcheng Museum will be borrowed for exhibition.

This is a life-saving for a private museum in a period of declining reputation.

However, saving the reputation of Hailin Museum is only one aspect, Zhang Yang's real purpose is far more than that...

"Teacher, how about you look at this for me?"

What Xinlianmai's Baoyou said brought Zhang Yang's thoughts back to the live broadcast.

What is shown in the video is an oval amulet with a smiling Maitreya Buddha engraved on it. The material of the thing is ivory at first glance.

"Name: Maitreya Amulet"

"Material: African Ivory"

"Production time: 2019"

"Detailed information: Maitreya amulet carved with ivory cusps, exquisite workmanship"

"This thing is fine." Zhang Yang nodded: "Is your brother abroad?"

"No, it's in China. Teacher, can you help me find out how much this is worth now?"

"The value... yours is less than 900 grams, two to three years, and probation is applicable."

These domestic people play with prohibited animal products, except for ivory and rhinoceros horn, Zhang Yang has already memorized the legal provisions of this part.

"Huh? Teacher, what if I have this?"

As Baoyou said, he took out a blue tag.

On the bottom line, it says [Huaxia Wildlife Management Special Logo] in red.

On the left is the LOGO of the issuing agency, on the right is written [African elephant ivory products below 50g] in small black characters, and a code and a QR code are printed beside it.

Play ivory with a license!
"Niubi!" Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up. He looked at the barrage and said:
"Brothers, this is the correct way to open the domestic collection of ivory products."

"Teacher, can I trade this? Give me an estimate?"

Baoyou's tone was complacent, showing off.

"No, since 18, the ivory trade has been completely banned in China, and no license is valid."

"Is my 17-year certificate not good?"

Zhang Yang was taken aback by Baoyou's sudden remark.

17 years?Isn't this something from 19 years old?
"Really or not, show me the date of issuance."

"Can I still lie to you?"

Baoyou moved the camera closer and pointed at the code and the QR code, which said [FJZG/17/89061673].

The first four letters are the enterprise code, and "17" is naturally the time to issue the certificate.

Such white teeth, you told me it was 17 years old?

I'm afraid it's not because the ivory trade and import and export trade have been completely banned since 18.

This treasure friend seems to have a tough background.

Zhang Yang's mouth curled into a smile of unknown meaning.
