"As Uncle Li said, keep the fertile water in your own fields. I have something good to sell.”Ye Fan knocked on the box he had been holding and said to Li Luo.
From the beginning, Ye Fan had never put down the small box in his hand, and Li Luo did not ask what it was. However, not asking did not mean that he was not curious. After Ye Fan said that he was going to make a move, Li Luo suddenly became interested and asked,"What is it?"
"It's not anything good, but I think it should be of some value to your Cultural Relics Bureau, so I want you to give me a price.”Ye Fan took out the broken teapot and placed it flat in his palm.
Li Luo frowned and asked in confusion,""Are you sure you didn't take the wrong one when you were out?”
Ye Fan's teapot was not only badly broken, but the workmanship was also very rough. It was simply unsightly. No wonder Li Luo asked this.
"Uncle Li, do I look like an unreliable person to you?”Ye Fan placed the teapot in Li Luo's hand without any explanation and let him size it up before he spoke.
Li Luo took the teapot and carefully opened it. As time passed, Li Luo's brows furrowed more and more tightly."This old man's eyesight is too poor to tell the dynasty of this teapot, but one thing is certain, this teapot has existed for quite a long time.”
Ye Fan smiled and nodded. He did not beat around the bush and said bluntly,"Uncle Li, I won't hide this from you. I found this a few months ago in the ruins of a prehistoric village in a forest…"
Before Ye Fan could finish his sentence, Li Luo interrupted him excitedly,"What? Prehistoric village ruins?" Li Luo took two deep breaths in disbelief and said,"Ye Fan, this is not a joke. Tell me in detail.”
Ye Fan didn't say everything he knew. He only said what he could say. After saying that, Ye Fan brought the topic back to the beginning: "Uncle Li, I can guarantee that this ancient village is real, and the prehistoric tombs near the ancient village are also real. Let me see how much this teapot is worth.”
Speaking of which, to put it bluntly, Ye Fan was no longer selling the teapot, but the information he had. The information about the ancient village ruins and prehistoric tombs. It had to be known that there was no prehistoric village discovered yet. It was a huge progress for the history of eastern archaeology.
Li Luo pondered for a moment and said," I can't give you an accurate price now. If you trust me, tell me the information you have about the ancient village. When I find out the authenticity of your information, I'll try my best to bargain for a higher price for you."
Ye Fan did not hesitate and directly told Li Luo the location of the ancient village. He knew that Li Luo would not trick him, so he did not hesitate and directly told him what he knew.
Ye Fan knew that he wouldn't get much money by selling the information to the organization like this, but he believed that Li Luo would definitely not let him suffer a loss.
"Ye Fan, you don't have to worry about the price. Although it's ridiculous for an organization to sell information, such things happen often. Usually, the person who buys the information will release half of the information first. When the organization is attracted, both parties will negotiate the price. After the price is negotiated, the person who buys the information will tell the organization all the information.”Li Luo explained the inside story of selling information so that Ye Fan could rest assured.
"Then I'll take this teapot with me.”Li Luo put the teapot back into the box and said," The ancient tombs at the Huang Jia Village have already begun to be excavated. Do you want to go back and join the excavation?"”
"I won't go back. I want to go to the antique street to see if I can find anything good.”Ye Fan said with a smile.
Li Luo nodded and said,"With your eyes, you can definitely get this treasure."”
"It's all thanks to the 500,000 yuan that these prodigals sent me today. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to take out the capital.”Ye Fan looked like he had gotten a bargain and was still pretending to be obedient.
"By the way, when you were inspecting the last item just now, did you know that it was a fake?”When Ye Fan looked at the last antique, Li Luo saw the change in his eyes.
Ye Fan chuckled and said,"Nothing can hide from your old discerning eyes."”
Ye Fan did not see anything when he first saw the cauldron. If it was not for the fact that he could not sense the existence of spiritual energy from the small cauldron, even he would not have been able to determine that it was fake.
Li Luo pinched his chin and asked with a complicated expression,"Do you know which small cauldron came from there?"”
Ye Fan didn't expect Li Luo to ask this question. Where did the counterfeit come from? Ye Fan asked in confusion,"Those counterfeit traffickers hide very well. Generally speaking, they won't be caught. Could it be that this small cauldron was found from the nest of a counterfeit trafficker?"”
"That's not it." Li Luo shook his head and said," This thing was made by Cai Zhan. He's the number one counterfeit in the world. As long as something comes out of his hands, it's most likely fake.”
"Although everyone knows that he specializes in forgery, no one can do anything to him. His forgery skills are already at the peak of perfection. The things he creates are enough to pass off as genuine. As long as you buy something from him with a fluke mentality, it's basically a fake.”Li Luo said with a complicated expression.
"Cai Zhan?" Ye Fan muttered to himself. He felt that this name seemed familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before.
After thinking about it carefully, Ye Fan finally remembered where he had heard this name before. On the lake in the Huang Village, when Ye Fan was exploring the bottom of the lake, an old man who claimed to be Cai Zhan came to him.
"Uncle Li, I think I've seen that Cai Zhan before, but I'm not sure if he's the real Cai Zhan."”
"When did you meet Cai Zhan? Tell me.”Li Luo only heard the first half of Ye Fan's sentence. As for the second half, he was ignored.
Ye Fan recounted everything in detail about the old man who called himself Cai Zhan on the lake that day. When Ye Fan said that the old man who called himself Cai Zhan had a jade embryo on his waist, Li Luo immediately confirmed that the old man was Cai Zhan.
"That's right. Ye Fan, the person you met should be Cai Zhan. It's just that he has disappeared for a long time. I didn't expect that she would actually settle down in the Huang Village. When I return to the Huang Village in two days, I must pay a visit.”Li Luo looked very excited.
"Uncle Li, can you tell me about Cai Zhan?”Ye Fan was a little curious about Cai Zhan. He did not understand why Li Luo would be so respectful to Cai Zhan.
"A few years ago, two bronze heads of the twelve zodiacs were auctioned off overseas. You should know about this, right?”Li Luo asked.
Ye Fan nodded and said," I know about this matter. At that time, this matter caused a huge uproar in the Eastern country. However, during the auction, the auction of this pair of copper heads was ruined by an Easterner. After that, the news never reported this matter. I don't know if the Easterners have retrieved the pair of copper heads.”
"Haha, I'm telling you that the pair of bronze heads have been secretly retrieved by the agents. The bronze heads in the institution's museum are fakes made by Cai Zhan, but the institution has never discovered that they are fakes.”Speaking of this, Li Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"After that incident, Cai Zhan spent two years producing more than 170 fake antiques and handed them over to the central government. Now, these 170 fake antiques are all flowing to that organization through the cultural relics dealers controlled by the central government, and more than one billion US dollars have been transferred from that organization.”
Ye Fan sucked in a breath of cold air and felt a sense of respect for Cai Zhan in his heart."Li Luo's antiques have never been discovered to be fakes?”
Li Luo looked at Ye Fan with disdain and said,"Not only did they not discover it, but they also thought that they had obtained the national treasures of the East and secretly contacted the Cultural Relics Bureau to sell them to China at a high price. Hahaha, those idiots have always treated those fakes as treasures and were plotting how to sell them to us.”
Ye Fan could not help but laugh out loud and said,"It seems that Cai Zhan's reputation as the number one international counterfeit isn't just for show.”
Li Luo also nodded deeply in agreement.""Although Cai Zhan has a strange temper, he is also a patriotic person. In recent years, he has been forging fake cultural relics and selling them abroad, which has caused his wealth to reach an unfathomable amount.”
At this point, Li Luo paused for a moment before continuing,"In the Eastern Bureau's files, the most eye-catching thing about Cai Zhan isn't his glorious history, but the fact that he secretly used a fake name to donate hundreds of millions of yuan to help poor students and build nursing homes, schools, hospitals, and so on.”
"It's also because he has done too many good deeds and contributed a lot to the organization that the organization pretended not to see him selling fake cultural relics in the country.”Li Luo's tone was a little helpless when he said this.
Ye Fan touched his nose and smiled.”As he spoke, Ye Fan recalled the first time he met Cai Zhan. He said,'Can an old man come over to catch turtles?'
"By the way, Ye Fan, do you know that a young Mona Lisa was discovered abroad a year ago?”Li Luo suddenly thought of something fun and wanted to tell Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded and said,"I know about this. I heard that both Mona Lisa paintings were painted by Da Vinci."”
Li Luo gave a strange smile and said," Bullsh * t Da Vinci. That young Mona Lisa portrait was painted by Cai Zhan. To think that those idiots overseas still treat that painting as a treasure and promote it all over the world. They even have an art exhibition in China. It's ridiculous."”
Li Luo laughed out loud, while Ye Fan was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. At this moment, he only had two words to evaluate Cai Zhan in his heart: "Fierce man."
When Ye Fan and Li Luo walked out of the Pure Sandal Ancient House to chat, Wang Zicong also followed them with a sinister gaze. However, his target was not Ye Fan.
In the meditation room of the Pure Sandalwood House, Wang Zicong had one hand behind his back, as if he was waiting for someone.
