Holding the black and gold mask, Big Golden Tooth's eyes seemed to be shining, and his gaze made the three of them feel a chill.
If it wasn't for Wu Liang stopping him, perhaps Big Golden Tooth would have had a taste…
What a ruthless person. This was a huge golden tooth!
A ruthless man with big golden teeth, who could pull out his own teeth and replace them with the golden teeth that were dug out from the mouth of a dead person, was definitely a fighter among ruthless people.
Fatty could not stand it anymore and asked directly,"Master Jin, don't just look at it. How much do you think this black mask is worth?”
Big Golden Tooth said," This looks a little ugly, but Lord Fatty, all rusted metals are precious metals. This thing is extremely expensive."”
Big Golden Tooth said, but he didn't even look up. His eyes were shining, and his hand that was touching the mask was trembling.
Those who didn't know better would think that this guy had epilepsy.
" This thing is so valuable," Old Hu asked." Can you tell us in detail why this thing is so valuable?"”
" This mask may look black now, but it's definitely made of gold," Big Golden Tooth said.”
"Can gold rust?" Fatty asked.”
Big Golden Tooth curled his lips and said helplessly,""Who says gold won't rust? Even gold would rust after thousands of years of oxidization. Since it was a precious metal, its value had increased.”
"If you want to sell it as gold, it won't be too valuable. Don't look at the impure gold extraction technology at that time, but this side has historical significance.”
"The rust on it has been corroded by time and has already fused with the mask. This is what makes it truly valuable.”
"This kind of natural formation, no matter how you fake it, you can't pass it off as the real one. A fake is still a fake.”
"There is another reason. This kind of mask is extremely rare even in the country. This is the reason why it is still valuable.”
"This kind of mask is also known as the 'Dead Faces', and it has a very high collection value.”
"Because many ethnic groups don't have the custom of wearing a dead face to be buried.”
Fatty said," I understand now that you put it that way. But don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me how much it's worth."”
Big Golden Teeth kept talking nonsense for a long time, not saying how much it was, which made Fatty a little anxious.
To Fatty, any historical significance was nonsense. The key was how much it was worth.
"I'll still say the same thing. This thing has no specific value." But I can give you guys a guarantee, at least 200,000.”
"Because this thing is too rare, it doesn't exist on the market. This is what it means to have a price but no supply. If someone really wants to buy it, it's worth 300,000 yuan, or even 400,000 yuan.”
"Let me put it another way. The price of this thing fluctuates too much. If you collect it yourself, it might not be difficult to sell it for millions in a few years.”
"Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times. The price of antiques has been rising all the time, and it's the same for porcelain.”
"Many people buy antiques not because they like to collect them, but because they are waiting for their value to rise. It can only be considered an investment.”
Old Hu said," How about this? We'll leave this mask with you too. We trust Master Jin, but we need money."”
Big Golden Tooth said," That's not a problem. It's just that I can't gather so much cash at the moment. I can help the three masters contact the buyer. In the future, just give me a commission. The three masters can negotiate the price themselves."”
"I can't afford this mask either. I can't take out so much money at once. The three of you can also bring it back yourself.”
"There's only about 100,000 yuan in my safe.”
" 100,000 is enough," Wu Liang said immediately." It's enough for us to solve the problem at hand. There's another thing I need to trouble you with, Master Jin."”
Big Golden Teeth said,"Young Master Wu, just say it. If you can do it, I won't refuse."”
Wu Liang said," I need a sword or a knife. I don't have many requirements for its appearance, but it must be sharp and hard. It must have these two qualities. It's best if it's made of special steel. Price isn't a problem.”
" No problem," Big Golden Tooth said immediately." Leave this to me. Our country already has special steel. Even if it doesn't meet the standards, I can get it for you from abroad."”
"There's another thing. Our country is going to organize an archaeological team. The leader is a professor surnamed Chen who is very close to my father."
When Big Golden Tooth mentioned the archeological team, the three of them did not agree. They only said that they would consider it.
Now, the three of them were not short of money. They had 100,000 yuan on hand. It was undoubtedly a large sum of money in this era, but it was also spent quickly.
After leaving Golden Tooth's shop, the three of them first ate mutton hotpot, then took a bath in Qinghua Pool, and finally slept in the courtyard house.
The next morning, Old Hu woke up and said,""Little Wu, Fatty, I want a share of this money.”
Fatty glanced at Wu Liang and frowned.""Old Hu, you didn't drink in the morning. Our brother is nothing. We may have known Little Wu for a short time, but he's still our brother.”
"You damn fatty, can't you hear me out?" Old Hu said anxiously.”
"Yingzi's share has to be divided. This time, Yingzi has suffered a lot. In addition, we said that we would bring the villagers to become rich. We can't just talk and not do it. This money isn't much.”
"Little Wu is different. He didn't cut the queue in the camp."
"The three of us are brothers, but I can't do good with my brother's money. This is a matter of principle.”
Wu Liang said," I have a suggestion. Give this money to Yingzi for 30,000 first, and then give 30,000 to the villagers. Old Hu needs to take care of his comrade's widow, so give them 20,000. The remaining 20,000 is for us to live and buy some equipment. We have to keep this money.”
"How we split it in the future depends on how much Big Golden Teeth can be sold. We'll talk about it after the items are sold.”
"If we sell too much, we'll give Yingzi's share. You should know that I don't have a concept of money. Besides, with our skills, isn't it easy to make money?”
Old Hu was about to say something when Fatty stopped him.
Fatty said," I think this is good. I want to be a soldier and fight on the battlefield in my life, but I don't have the chance."”
"Our country is also poor now. It's true that we have subsidies for the families of martyrs. However, there were elders, children, and brothers and sisters in the middle. Life was still difficult.”
"I'm the only one who can eat and the whole family won't be hungry. Your parents have the country to support them. Little Wu is all alone.”
"This time, the two items were sold for so much money. In the future, if we find a richer tomb, we can earn millions at once.”
"If you really want to thank Xiao Wu, we can find him a wife in the future."
Old Hu's eyes were red as he patted Wu Liang's shoulder. In the end, he did not say a word.
There were some things that didn't need to be said.
Two days later, the three of them went straight to the archeological team's station through the information given by Big Golden Tooth.
In the past two days, after the three of them had transferred the money, they had changed their clothes and looked much more energetic now.
"Is Professor Chen here?"
The three of them were brought into the house. Through the window, they could see a graceful figure. Her brown hair was slightly curly, and her tight jeans accentuated her slender and round legs. Just her back alone made people feel a strong desire to explore.
Fatty whispered," That's a very good note. It seems that she's the investor of this operation. I just don't know what she looks like."”
"You're quite young."
Old Hu added.
Wu Liang said,"This cop has the urge to let her have a child. With such long legs, it would be a pity if she didn't ride a three-wheeled motorcycle."
