Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 84 Tang Sancai?
After the two black guys had finished their work, they still didn't find the second thing and gave up completely.

Blood loss!
Fortunately, An Zhui and Mi Gen's faces were originally dark, otherwise they would be unbearable to look at now. Even so, the onlookers could still see that these two guys were like two powder kegs about to explode.

The organizer doesn't care whether you look happy or not and will continue to auction the next container.

"How long has this container been here?" Qiao Yufan complained.

The container was covered in rust, as if it had been soaked in sea water. If you looked closely, you could even see some dry seaweed hanging on the corners of the container.

At this time, the "auctioneer" told everyone that the container was salvaged from the sea...

Wow! I've actually been in sea water.

This kind of container is a bit of a gamble. Who knows what the things inside have been soaked in water? Many things have been soaked in water, and their value will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, when everyone heard it, they showed little interest.

The "auctioneer" was prepared for the auction to fail.

Its starting bid is a low $500.

The container door was opened, and the situation inside was indeed terrible, with an unpleasant smell emanating from it. People who were close to it almost vomited and backed away.

Lin Yuan did not even walk around the container this time, but the treasure hunter already showed two spots of light.

Two minutes later, the bidding began.

What surprised Lin Yuan was that there were actually people competing with him, and not just one or two.

No, you still want this?

In fact, the main reason is that the starting price of $500 is too low. Some people think they can try their luck by bidding. Even if there is nothing in it, the loss is only $500, which is not a big deal.

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry and waited for them to decide the winner.

After a while, the container was unexpectedly sold for $3200. But the price was basically settled, and no one else continued to compete.

The person who made the final offer felt a little regretful and felt that he had been impulsive.

"3300 US dollars." At this time, Lin Yuan spoke.

The man was immediately delighted, feeling that someone had taken over, and happily raised a thumb towards Lin Yuan. However, it didn't look like he was congratulating Lin Yuan, but rather a bit of a mockery.

Now, except for my uncle and others, everyone else thinks that this Chinese person is a sucker.

As expected, the Chinese are stupid and rich!

Henry and the others didn't say anything. They knew that Lin Yuan must have seen something valuable.

Before the uncle and the others said anything, the live broadcast room started to "gamble", guessing and judging whether Lin Yuan would make a profit or a loss this time. More than 3,000 US dollars, more than 20,000 RMB, if he wanted to make a profit, he had to find something valuable.

Lin Yuan and his team began to clean up the container.

There were more of them, so the cleanup was faster. However, there was a smell that was unpleasant. Even so, even the girls Li Qiushui and Huo Qingtong did not stand aside.

Neither of them wanted to lower their impression in Lin Yuan's mind.

If they refuse to help this time because they think it's dirty and tiring, will Brother Lin still be able to take them out to play in the future? You can figure it out with your toes.

"You two don't need that. Just help me hold the phone! Take the picture steadily." Lin Yuan said to Huo Qingtong and Li Qiu Shui.

Letting them take pictures is also considered as helping.

"it is good!"

The two women gladly accepted the task.

"Paul, be careful, I'll do it, I'll do it." Lin Yuan turned around and saw Paul dragging a frame inside with brute force, and he immediately stepped forward. Lin Yuan took out the things in the frame, threw a few pieces, and then carefully held out a three-color pottery.

When my uncle saw the three-color pottery, his heart skipped a beat.

The same goes for Liu Xin and others.

"Could this be Tang Sancai?" Qiao Yufan couldn't help but ask.

Even someone like him who is not involved in the antique circle knows that Tang Sancai is a precious cultural relic.

Tang Sancai, a treasure of the ancient Han nationality's ceramic firing technology, whose full name is Tang Dynasty Tri-color Glazed Pottery, is a kind of low-temperature glazed pottery popular in the Tang Dynasty. The glaze colors include yellow, green, white, brown, blue, and black, with yellow, green and white being the main colors, so people are accustomed to calling it "Tang Sancai".

"It's possible." My uncle's expression also turned serious.

Before he knew it, he had pulled out his cell phone.

If you don’t understand something, just go to Uncle De and the others.

Paul didn't quite understand these, so he asked Henry beside him. Henry gave him some knowledge about Tang Sancai, but it was very limited. After all, Henry himself didn't understand it very deeply.

"All you need to know is that it is one of China's national treasures." Finally, Henry couldn't say any more.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Tang Sancai was originally a funerary object, so at first, Tang Sancai was not popular in China and many people were afraid of it."

After the Zhenguan Administration in the Tang Dynasty, the country became strong and all industries flourished. However, this also led to the corruption of the lives of some high-ranking officials, and the custom of lavish burials became increasingly popular.

At that time, Tang Sancai, as a kind of funerary object, was once included in the government regulations. The first, second, third, and fourth grades allowed a certain number of pieces to be buried with the deceased. However, the regulations were fixed. As dignitaries, they were not satisfied with the explicit regulations. Instead, they often increased the number of pieces many times more than the government regulations in order to give a lavish burial.

This was the style of officials and of course the style of the people as well, so a tradition of lavish burials was formed from top to bottom. This was one of the main reasons why Tang Sancai was able to develop and rise rapidly in the Central Plains at that time.

For the next thousand years, Tang Sancai remained buried underground and seemed to be lost in history.

It was dug out in the early 1990s when the railway was being built, but it did not receive much attention from the cultural relics and collection circles.

Because experts discovered that it was a funerary object.

Who would place funeral objects in their home? How unlucky!

However, flowers bloom inside the wall but smell good outside!

Tang Sancai is not valued in the country, but is in great demand in the overseas art market.

In the 495.5s, a Tang Sancai black horse was sold at an auction in London, England for million pounds, which set the world record for the auction of Chinese porcelain at that time.

The news spread back to China, shocking the entire cultural relics and collection circles.

Four or five million pounds in the 1980s was an astronomical figure.

As a result, everyone rushed to collect them, but they found that many Tang Sancai had already been exported overseas.

"This is a three-color horse. If it is really a Tang three-color horse, how much is it worth?"

The tri-color horse in the container is covered with white glaze all over, showing an ivory white color, with only a little brown glaze on the horse's face, short mane and tail.

The horse's body is decorated with green necklaces, which is rich and luxurious, and the saddle and bridle are stacked, with dark and light colors, and the combination is well-matched. The pottery horse stands upright on the rectangular board with its head raised, and its body is fat and vigorous, which is quite similar to the style of Han Gan's horse paintings.

The details are exquisitely sculpted, with the muscles on the horse's face fully revealed, the eyebrows high, the eye sockets triangular, the eyes wide open, and the bridle engraved with fine lines, like inlaid pearls.

This tri-color horse is different from the common tri-color horses. It is mainly white, and its expression is lifelike and vivid.

"I'm afraid it will be more than a million dollars."
