Chapter 687 Hooked
Simu Wu Fangding weighs 875 kilograms, which is the heaviest tripod in existence in the world, and the legendary Dayu "receive the gold of nine shepherds and cast nine tripods". It can be seen that these nine tripods should be heavier than Simu Wu Fangding. Unfortunately, the legendary nine tripods
The bronze tripod is not in China, but in addition to the Simui Wufang tripod, Zhuang Rui has rarely heard of more than 300 kilograms of bronze tripod.
In the burial pit of the Hundred Operas of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, a bronze tripod of the Qin Dynasty was unearthed, with a height of 61 centimeters and a weight of 212 kilograms. It is the largest and heaviest Qin Dynasty tripod found so far.
The ancients described a person as having great strength, and they often said that he could carry the tripod.
Sima Qian mentioned in his historical books that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, is "more than eight feet long and can carry the tripod", which translates into the current words, that is to say, "Xiang Yu is more than 1.8 meters tall, has a lot of strength and can carry a very heavy tripod."
The tripod mentioned in this historical book will naturally not be the Simu Wufang Ding, which weighs more than 800 kilograms, because the latest weightlifting world record of more than 110 kilograms is 266 kilograms, which is the human limit record so far.
Sima Qian is still a cautious and realistic person. He uses the word "lift" instead of "lift". It can be seen that the weight of the bronze tripod carried by Xiang Yu should be between 100 and 200 kilograms.
The bronze tripod that has been unearthed can only reach more than 300 kilograms with a very small number of heavy tripods from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
The aftershock said that he had a bronze tripod weighing more than 300 kilograms. If this bronze tripod comes out, whether it is a Qin tripod or a bronze tripod from the Warring States Period of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it can definitely cause a huge sensation in the archaeological and collection world.
"Ren...Boss Ren, are you telling the truth?"
With excitement, Zhuang Rui almost shouted out the name of Yu Jinping. After calming his mind, Zhuang Rui continued, "Boss Ren, if your bronze tripod is true, I can definitely give you a satisfactory quotation, but I must read this thing first..."
"Boss Zhuang, we don't talk in secret. If this thing is gone, you and I will be in prison, so let's talk about the price first..."
Of course, the aftershock level knew whether this thing was true or not. At that time, they dressed up as coal survey teams and rented a crane in the suburbs of rural Hubei. Of course, there was no crane driver. Boss Yu drove it himself.
In this way, it took more than two days to get the bronze tripod from the tomb of Shang and Zhou to the car. It was precisely because of the use of the crane that the bronze tripod was extremely well preserved, and even the animal rings on the four walls did not fall off.
"Boss Ren, then you can set a price, but the price should be within my tolerance. As you know, if I get this bronze tripod, I won't go up and down. This item still can't be placed in my museum..."
Zhuang Rui said half-truthfully. To be honest, he really wanted to blacken the bronze tripod in his heart. If this thing was placed in the museum, I'm afraid that only the students and teachers of the archaeology department of various colleges and universities could break the threshold of his own museum.
"Free visit?"
There is no door. My buddy is opening a private museum. If you see it clearly, it's "private". At that time, why don't you make a lot of money just this ticket?
Zhuang Rui thought of happiness and couldn't help smiling. He stood at the door of his car and laughed stupidly. The people who served as the security guard on the periphery of the museum were puzzled, "This rich man is really a quirky person. Why do you drool when you make a phone call?"
Hearing Zhuang Rui's bid for himself, Yu Zhenping was stunned for a moment. The idea of selling bronze tripods was just emerging. How could he know what kind of price was appropriate?
And hide this place that respects the tripod, and there are three or four hundred remaining antique cultural relics. If you take Zhuang Rui there to see the goods, that place must be exposed, and the aftershock level does not have the ability to empty these objects. If the price is lower, won't it be cheaper for Zhuang Rui in vain?
"Boss Zhuang, I want to think about it. Let's contact later..."
The aftershock level is not suspicious. Some time ago, Zhuang Rui exchanged collections in overseas museums. He also knows that in the aftershock level's heart, Zhuang Rui is definitely the best trading object. If it weren't for the last resort, he would not have chosen someone else to trade. This is also because of people's inertia. It
It's just that Zhuang Rui wanted to buy that bronze tripod, which made the aftershock level entangled. He couldn't bear so many antique cultural relics in his heart, but now he was immediately facing the situation of cooking out. For a while, he was a little confused and simply hung up the phone.
"Oh...Oh, Boss Ren, please make an offer..."
After shouting for a long time, Zhuang Rui heard the busy sound of "Dudu" from the opposite side, and then dialed it. The other party had turned off the phone.
"Damn it, isn't this to hang my buddy's appetite?"
Zhuang Ruiqi kicked the car tire, took out the key to open the door, and drove home. However, as soon as he drove 200 meters away, Jiang Hao called.
Zhuang Rui pressed the answer button and said, "Group leader Jiang, Yu Zhenping called just now. I asked him to make an offer. He said he would consider replying to me. By the way, have you monitored his residence?"
"Not yet, Xiaozhuang, your mobile phone must not be turned off. Continue to keep in touch with the aftershock level. Well, let me know immediately if there is any situation. I won't say more, in case he calls..."
After a few words, Team Leader Jiang hung up the phone, but he was extremely depressed. Is it really magical to dare Zhuang Rui to be a "relevant department"?
To monitor wireless calls, it must be within a certain range, and in such a short time, Jiang Hao's report has been typed, and the leader has not made instructions yet.
......
"Mom, where's Xuanbing?"
After returning to the quadrangle courtyard, Zhuang Rui walked to the wing of the middle courtyard. Beijing was a little hot in July, and Ouyang Wan's outdoor activities gradually decreased. At this moment, he was staying in the air-conditioned room.
The white lion lying on the ground was not used to this kind of weather. When he saw Zhuang Rui coming in, he just opened his eyes feebly and continued to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.
"Xianbing and your sister-in-law went to choose a wedding dress. You child, in such hot weather, you don't say to go with them. You know that you are busy with your museum all day..."
Although Ouyang Wan never asked about Zhuang Rui's business, she still complained a few words at this moment. Xu Qing is pregnant. She has been pregnant for seven or eight months. In case something bad happens, she will have no face to see her brother.
When Zhuang Rui heard the words, he made a grimace and said with a smile, "Mom, it's okay. Peng Fei accompanied me. I'm free after this period of work..."
Zhuang Rui originally said to take all the wedding dresses in that photography shop, but Qin Xuanbing had to try them on first and go to Hainan tomorrow. Zhuang Rui had to go to the museum today to explain, so he asked Peng Fei to accompany him.
"Xianbing is your daughter-in-law!"
Ouyang Wan looked at her son helplessly and said, "There is mung bean soup in the refrigerator. Go and drink it to relieve the summer heat. Isn't it good to stay at home in this weather? You have to run out. Is there any scene in Beijing? I'm going to Hainan to take wedding photos..."
Zhuang Rui smiled and said, "Mom, there is a sea in Hainan. When will you find a wife? I will also send you to Hainan to shoot a wedding dress..."
"This child, what are you talking about? You see that your mother can't beat you, right?"
Ouyang Wan couldn't stand Zhuang Rui's words from time to time to ask her to find her wife. At that time, she picked up a feather blanket from the table and pretended to beat Zhuang Rui. The white lion on the ground heard the noise, stood up and took a look, and then lay down again without righteousness.
"Mom, I'll answer the phone. Let's talk about it later. It's business..."
It happened that my mother was joking and another strange phone call came in. Zhuang Rui guessed that the aftershock was still flat, so he rushed out of the room and went to the gazebo near the pond and sat down.
"Who?"
"Boss Zhuang, it's me..."
Sure enough, the caller was still the aftershock level. Zhuang Rui could afford to wait, but he couldn't wait. After thinking about it, he decided to give up the room of antique cultural relics. Anyway, there were still two places to hide cultural relics. As long as he could go abroad, he would always have a chance to come out in the future
"Boss Zhuang, I won't go around with you anymore. To tell you the truth, where the bronze tripod is placed, there are more than 400 pieces of bronze ware from the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties...
You can give me all these cultural relics, but you have to prepare 500,000 rmb and 500,000 US dollars in cash, as well as a Swiss bank promissory note of 5 million euros. If you can handle it within three days, I will inform you of the time and place of the goods..."
The aftershock has thought that he can only carry 1 million banknotes with him at most, which almost takes a schoolbag. As for the promissory note of the Swiss bank, he heard Boss Yu mention it, but he has never seen it. In the mind of not taking advantage of the bastard, he brought it up.
"more than 400 pieces of bronze?"
When Zhuang Rui heard the words, he took a cold breath on the phone. After listening to the aftershock's quotation, Zhuang Rui really couldn't wait to kick the police and trade with the "Boss Ren" alone.
You know, some time ago, Macao held a special auction of Chinese bronzes. A total of 49 bronzes were not first-class, setting a 100% turnover rate. At the same time, it also set a transaction record of HK$120 million, which was only created by 49 bronzes.
If, as Yu Zhenping said, he has more than 400 pieces of bronzes in his hand, then his bronzes exhibition hall will be open for business soon. Of course, Zhuang Rui can only slander this idea.
Zhuang Rui calmed down and said, "Boss Ren, money is not a problem. It doesn't take three days. I can handle it tomorrow, but I have to see the goods before I can pay..."
"Of course, in that case, I'll call Boss Zhuang tomorrow night..."
Yu Zhenping is not afraid that Zhuang Ruihei will eat black. The gun in his hand is not vegetarian. He is ruined. Yu Zhenping doesn't believe that Zhuang Rui dares to gamble with him?
