Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 178
Liang En felt a little dizzy looking at the huge pile of fakes in the room. Although there were many genuine ones in the room, it was not so easy to pick them out from the pile of fakes.

In addition, the real ones seem to have a lot of problems.Not only is there a problem in preservation, but it also looks like some high-end goods, not very valuable.

Obviously, although this Mr. Li is rich, his level of collection is obviously not good.That's why there are so many messy things here.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the things put here have been selected several times by the children of Mr. Li and the guys who came earlier.

Especially those businessmen and museum staff who came here attracted by the name are all professionals in this field, with very vicious eyes, and basically they are not likely to miss any good things.

After briefly scanning the things on the floor and the table, Liang En, who didn't find anything worth spending money on, put on a gas mask and walked to the side of those boxes.

If there is any treasure in this place, there is a high probability that there will be some things left in these boxes that seem to have not been touched by anyone.

"What are these things?" After opening the lid of the box, a puff of dust rushed to my face. Fortunately, I put on a gas mask beforehand so as not to choke on it.

And when the dust dissipated, except for a large pile of dusty textiles inside. "Not sure, I only know that Mr. Li bought it from an international exhibition in the 70s, and he bought it directly from the Huaxia delegation."

John took out the tablet computer that he carried with him and checked it before saying. "We still have the documents at the time of purchase. If you buy these boxes, we will also give you the corresponding documents as proof."

"Sold by the delegation?" Hearing what John said, Liang En immediately reacted.At that time, there were not many foreign exchange-earning things that Huaxia could obtain internationally, so selling such light industrial or even handicraft products was naturally a common thing.

In Liang En's impression, the things that could be sold in foreign trade fairs in those days were selected from the best, so even modern manufactured products are still some good things today.

So he immediately looked at the note attached to the wooden box, only to find that the note on the box said 7600 euros.

This is not a small number, even considering that this is a large box that is at least 3% full and has an internal volume of 4~[-]m, such a price is a bit excessive.

Thinking of this, Liang En checked the textiles in the box. Although John didn't let them reach out and look through the things in the box, they could still see that these things were carpets by looking carefully with the flashlight.

"The carpet!" After confirming that the thing inside was a carpet, Liang En immediately changed his mind.Because he felt that the level of China's textile industry at that time would not go to the UK to sell machine-made carpets.

That is to say, these rugs are most likely to be handmade rugs, and today a purely handmade rug can be said to be expensive, even the most common varieties cost tens or even hundreds of pounds per square meter.

Considering that almost half a century has passed now, the integrity of these carpets is somewhat questionable.But as long as one or two relatively complete carpets can be cleaned up, Liang En thinks this thing is worth taking.

After realizing this, Liang En immediately carefully observed the carpets in the box.It turned out that the rugs looked old though.But the overall preservation is relatively complete. "

How do you feel about the preservation of these things?Will it be so crumbled like the rug we've seen before that it can't be picked up from the floor. "After glancing at John behind him, Liang En asked Fan Meng in Chinese.

"I don't think it should be." Fan Meng stepped forward to take a closer look and said, "Although these things look dusty, they don't look particularly bad overall."

"And judging from the current appearance of the box and the carpet inside, the box was probably placed in a cool and dry place before, and the corrosion was not serious."

"The most important thing is that there is a high probability that Mr. Li hasn't taken these things out of the box several times after he bought them home, so the things inside should be relatively neat, so that people won't pick out the good things in advance .”

"Let me take another look." After hearing Fan Meng's words, Liang En immediately stepped forward to inspect the box more carefully, and sure enough, he saw that there was a layer of accumulation on the bottom of the box, which would definitely not accumulate in a year or two. Gray up. "

After silently ticking the box in his heart, Liang En opened the lid of the next box.It turned out that the box contained all kinds of porcelain.

Although he was not allowed to touch the contents of the box, after a brief glance, Liang En found that these items belonged to the standard export porcelain in the late Qing Dynasty.

Although these things do look very gorgeous, if you look closely, you will find that both the characters and the scenery on them look very dull, and the coloring is also very extensive. It is obviously a mass-produced high-end product.

It may be because Huaxia porcelain has a relatively high reputation overseas, so a label of 15000 Euros was pasted on the outside of the box containing the porcelain.

However, in Liang En's view, these items can be sold for 5000~6000 euros, which is the limit. As a businessman, if you win this box for more than 3500 euros, you can say that the business has lost.

After jumping over this box, Liang En looked at the next box.

The third box contained some relatively small wooden furniture. For example, at the bottom of the box was a rather complete kang table, while on top were a lot of things similar to trays or bases.

Most of the wooden utensils in the box are in original color, and a few of them have a layer of gold paint on them.Fortunately, these things don't look like there is so much dust on the carpet just now, they should have been temporarily packed into the box before.

Thanks to this, Liang En and the others were able to clearly distinguish the woodiness of these wooden utensils.But after a general inspection, Liang En found that most of these things seemed to be of average quality.

For example, most of the wooden utensils here are made of ordinary wood like elm or fir, and the best wood is just gadgets made of walnut wood.

Considering that the real high-end furniture in Huaxia in the past was mainly made of mahogany, Liang En can basically be sure that at least most of the furniture in the box are mid-to-low-end items.

Fortunately, people who have checked the furniture before know this, so the marked price is only 4200 euros.In Liang En's view, it shouldn't be too difficult to earn more than 1000 to [-] euros.

Compared with the first three boxes, the other two boxes contain some large items.These include a pair of porcelain elephants and ceramic vases, as well as a sailboat carved from jade.

These things are quite desirable in terms of color and craftsmanship. The only problem is that they are all modern handicrafts, but the price is as high as 5500 Euros.

"Okay, we want these two boxes." Liang En pointed to the two boxes containing carpets and wooden utensils, and then took out his bank card to buy the two boxes.
