An Incense Burner Worth One Billion!
Facing everyone's confusion.
Master Tang took a step back and looked at Master Chen.""Master Chen, you know a lot about antiques from the Tang Dynasty. Why don't you enlighten everyone?”
Hearing this.
Master Chen didn't hide anything.
He bluntly explained to everyone,"Indeed. At first glance, I thought that it was a dragon-phoenix gilded furnace specially used by the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty, but I soon realized that something was wrong. Because this incense burner has a phoenix above and a dragon below. Since ancient times, this has been an obvious disrespectful act.”
"If it was in any other dynasty, then this thing would definitely be a modern artifact. It might even be a failed imitation by some inexperienced forgers. Don't forget that this thing is in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty produced an emperor who shocked the world. It was also the only existence in history.”
Master Chen hadn't finished speaking.
Someone guessed who the other party was talking about.
"Master Chen, are you talking about Wu Zetian?？？”
"Now that you say it, I understand!"
"No wonder I was wondering why the golden pattern was above the phoenix and below the dragon.”
"The incense burner I saw in Beauty Nation has a dragon above and a phoenix below. If it was after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, then the position of this incense burner should be right.”
"I've learned something."
"It's fortunate that Master Chen and the other two masters are here. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see such a masterpiece.”
.....
Accompanied by the chattering of the crowd.
Master Chen wasn't angry and continued to explain.
"That's right. This thing should be a product of the Wu Zhou period. It's a peerless treasure personally ordered by the Empress Wu Zetian.”
"Rare!"
"It's really too rare."
"Even the Tang Dynasty Dragon and Phoenix Gilding Furnace, there are only three in the world. One is in Beauty Nation, one is in our national museum, and the last one is already damaged. However, the Phoenix Dragon Gilding Furnace should be the only one in the world. I didn't expect to see such a peerless treasure in my lifetime.!!”
Master Chen praised excitedly as he explained.
Faced with praise, some laymen could not help but ask vulgar questions.
"Master Chen, how much do you think this thing is worth?”
Once this topic was brought up.
It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Whether it was a master or an expert appraiser, who didn't like to collect valuable items? Moreover, those who could do this were all rich people. Therefore, they all wanted to know how much this item was worth and see if they could get it.
Facing this problem.
Master Tang spoke.
"This thing is currently the only one in the world, at least for now. The antique market is particular about the rarity of items, their origin, and the benefits of celebrities.”
"The Dragon-Phoenix Gilding Furnace from Beauty Nation was once auctioned off at Christie's for more than 80 million, and that was 20 years ago.”
"After conversion, it's definitely not a problem to sell it for 150 million now.”
"Compared to the previous Gilding Furnace, this Phoenix Dragon Gilding Furnace is at least double the price, starting at 300 million.”
The moment he spoke.
Everyone could not help but gasp.
But at this moment, Master Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
This cry and laughter once again attracted the puzzlement of everyone, and they all looked at him.
"Did I say something wrong?" Master Tang looked at Master Chen in confusion.
Master Chen sighed and said,""If we have to use money to determine this thing, it's at least 500 million yuan. If I meet someone who likes it, such as me, who especially likes to collect items from the Tang Dynasty, I'm even willing to go bankrupt. I'll get this thing within 1 billion yuan.”
He would not rest until he shocked everyone with his words.
Master Chen tripled the price again.
However, there was a reason for this. There must be a reason for tripling the price, so everyone could not help but ask.
"Master Chen, why is it one billion?”
"Master Chen, why did the price suddenly triple?”
"Master Chen, even if it's the only thing in the world, it shouldn't be worth one billion, right?”
Everyone was puzzled.
Master Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly as he picked up the gilded furnace. Then, he raised it up a little so that everyone could see the bottom of the incense burner.
The sunlight refracted into the hollow part at the bottom.
Soon, a line of words that was refracted by light appeared on the table.
As for the characters, anyone who had studied the Tang Dynasty characters could understand them at a glance.
It was written on it.
" The Emperor of the Wu Zhou Dynasty is giving it to you."
The three ancient words, Wu Zetian, appeared especially terrifying.
At this moment, everyone understood why Master Chen had suddenly tripled the price.
After a long time.
This item was not exclusive to the royal family. It was a gift that Wu Zetian had personally given to others. It even had her own signature.
Moreover, this signature was not a calligraphy signature, but was carved out with exquisite craftsmanship.
Under such circumstances.
This thing was worth one billion, but it was not expensive.
At the same time, after this scene appeared.
Everyone present was shocked.
Amidst the shock, everyone was even more puzzled. Why would something that Wu Zetian had personally gifted appear here?？？
Especially from the decorations.
It seemed that the owner of this house had placed this incense burner casually as if he did not care at all!!!!
Something worth a billion!
He didn't put it away or protect it strictly. He just put it on the coffee table casually and really put sandalwood in it.
If they had such a peerless treasure.
They definitely treated this incense burner as a family heirloom.
Unlike Chen Xuanqing, who placed it casually and really used it as an incense burner.
Such an action was simply a reckless waste of God's gift!!!!
