After receiving Gu Ning's call, Cai Wenhong immediately came out to pick up Gu Ning in person. He didn't think there was anything wrong when Gu Ning brought something just an hour later.
And Cai Wenhong also automatically thought that when Gu Ning went out, he immediately arranged for someone to bring the things, and the distance was not very long. Then it arrived in about half an hour, and Gu Ning went out to pick it up.
What was unexpected was that since it was sent by Gu Ning himself, he thought it was someone else!
Cai Wenhong came out and took Gu Ning in.
"Miss Gu, I didn't expect you to deliver it in person." Cai Wenhong said to Gu Ning politely.
"Because they were still wandering around inside, I asked someone to bring them to me, and I went to pick them up outside." Gu Ning said.
"Miss Gu, I heard from my teacher Mr. Jiang that you are now the boss of "Xiangyunxuan", and you often have some good items. If there are more good items, can you let me know. If I have time, I will go to "Xiangyunxuan" "Xuan" take a look!" Cai Wenhong asked.
As for the origin of these good things from Gu Ning, Cai Wenhong didn't ask. There were clean and dirty roads. Although the origin is not clean, that is, tomb robbing is illegal, but nothing is absolute, and it still depends on the person.
To put it bluntly, those are all powerful backgrounds.
Just like Gu Ning, she is Leng Shaoting's fiancée. Even if the official knows about it, they will turn a blind eye. As long as they don't go too far and get caught, and then cause trouble and oppress the official, they have to deal with.
For cultural relics, access is a little stricter, but for antiques, there are no regulations.
Speaking of which, I have to talk about cultural relics and antiques.
Cultural relics are cultural relics, and antiques are antiques. They are different.
Cultural relics: As the name suggests, cultural relics are objects with cultural value. According to the current academic view, they should refer to objects that were cast in the past and have been passed down to this day. For today's society, they have certain value factors and research relationships. It is a cultural product inherited from history.
The scope of cultural relics is very wide: including various types of building sites, monuments from all eras, intangible cultural heritage is also currently cultural relics, unearthed ancient tombs, ancient construction tools and buildings, artificially mined grottoes, and artificially carved stone carvings , handicrafts, crafts, various historical books of various dynasties or eras, and cultural materials that have an impact on modern times.
Antiques: We can understand it literally, antiques refer to things produced in previous eras. With the qualifications of appreciation and the ancient objects of research value, based on its relevant information, we can infer some conditions and characteristics of that era.
The biggest difference between antiques and cultural relics: Cultural relics are protected by national and state laws and are allowed to be held privately, but not sold. But as for antiques, everyone can collect them, invest in them, or resell them.
"Okay! When I get something good, I will definitely notify Dean Cai." Gu Ning responded. Cai Wenhong's visit is a free advertisement! How could she refuse!
"By the way, I want to ask Dean Cai something in the hall." Gu Ning said.
"What's the matter, tell me." Cai Wenhong said.
"When will there be a grand antique auction?" Gu Ning asked.
"The largest antique auction in Beijing every year is held in October, but the date of October has not yet been determined. It will take about a month to determine. As long as there are related antique auctions, well-known antique stores will receive them. "Xiangyunxuan" will receive invitations every year, and there will definitely be no other invitations this year. The time will be determined when the time comes. I will take a look when the invitations start to be sent out, and then I will personally send the invitations to you." Cai Wenhong said .
"Well, I have something I want to auction. What are the rules?" Gu Ning said.
"Since it is a large-scale antique auction, the value of the items auctioned cannot be low, at least items worth tens of millions. However, it is impossible to say exactly how many tens of millions it is, because the number of items auctioned is limited, and only Twenty items, so only the top 20 items with the highest value of registered antiques will be accepted for auction. Of course, if the top 20 items cannot reach the bottom line of value, they will not be admitted. In other words, even if the quantity is small, they will not be admitted. It's an item of little value." Cai Wenhong said, and then asked: "I don't know what Miss Gu wants to auction, and how much is it worth!" When asked this question, Cai Wenhong was eager, because Gu Ning offered up a price worth 40 million The Tang Sancai vases on the left and right must contain other more valuable objects.
"The bronze chime is worth hundreds of millions, but for the time being, I'm afraid I can't show it to Dean Cai. When it comes time for verification, I'll ask Dean Cai to see it." Gu Ning said, without making it too clear.
A complete set of bronze chimes is worth billions, but if it's just a small part, the value is low.
Is the "Bronze Chime Bell..." still worth hundreds of millions
Hearing this, Cai Wenhong was shocked. He didn't expect Gu Ning to have such a good thing!
Hearing what Gu Ning said, Cai Wenhong felt itchy and couldn't wait to watch it. However, since Gu Ning said he couldn't watch it yet, he could only suppress his itchy mood.
"I'll let you know when registration starts." Cai Wenhong said.
"Okay, I'll bother you with Dean Cai," Gu Ning said.
"No trouble, no trouble." Cai Wenhong said, even if it's troublesome, it doesn't matter.
While talking, Gu Ning and Cai Wenhong came to his office. Several old experts from the museum were already waiting.
Cai Wenhong asked them to appraise it, not because he was worried that Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning would bring a fake one, but this was the rule. All antiques that came in needed to be appraised by experts before they could be paid. After all, it was not free, but an exchange.
When the box was placed on the table, several experts couldn't wait to gather around it, because this was a Tang Sancai vase, not an ordinary antique!
After the box was opened, they began to identify it.
Soon, the result came out, and it was true.
Then, after signing a certificate of receipt of the items, Gu Ning left.
After leaving Cai Wenhong's office, Gu Ning called Leng Shaoting and asked where they were.
They had finished shopping now and had just returned to the lobby.
After Leng Shaoting told them where they were, Gu Ning went over.
Several people met in the hall.
"Is everything done?" Jing Yunyao asked. Naturally, she knew that Gu Ning had done it, but she also asked to show her concern.
"Well, it's done." Gu Ning said.
"Have you met that person?" Gu Ning asked.
"I haven't met him, I just don't know if I will meet him when I go out. Should we go separately and meet again after we leave here?" Jing Yunyao asked.
