Taoyuan little fisherman

Chapter 862

Wang Tianhui took Hans into the Sotheby's building, and the gorgeous and solemn style made people's eyes shine.

In the lobby, there are big men wearing all kinds of custom-made suits and precious ladies with pearls. Wang Tianhui's casual clothes once again made the picture seem inharmonious.

Follow Hans through the hall, and take the elevator to the place where the auction commission is handled.

At the moment when Wang Tianhui entered the elevator, Olivia, who happened to be dressed in fancy clothes, was walking out of a living room surrounded by a group of people.

She froze for a moment when she saw Wang Tianhui.

"Miss Olivia, what's the matter with you?" The young man accompanying him asked with great concern.

Olivia blinked, "Oh, nothing, let's go."

Maybe I misread it, why did Wang Tianhui appear here?
Ding!
The elevator stopped on the 24th floor, and Hans took Wang Tianhui forward.

There are a lot of people in the corridor, it should be said that there are a lot of security guards, and there are also a lot of workers who carry goods.

Everyone yelled to make way, and the two had to stand against the wall for a while from time to time.

The things that can enter here are very, very expensive, and no one wants to cause this trouble.

Soon, Hans brought Wang Tianhui to the registration office.

There are also a lot of people coming in and out here, and these two days are the time to select the auction items.

After an auction, at least hundreds of items are auctioned, and as many as thousands. These items have to be registered and estimated in value within a day or two, and various contracts are signed with the seller.

Then in the next few days, after a group of experts appraised its value, a batch of non-compliant goods may be eliminated.

Finally, before the official start of the auction, there are still two days of preview, so that sellers have a chance to know about the goods in this auction, and at the same time, they can make preparations in advance whether they can win their favorite goods.

Wang Tianhui was queuing, and there was a long queue ahead, people from various countries came with expensive items.

The staff members are appraisal experts holding a magnifying glass, as well as very famous scholars, etc. They form a team of experts to conduct a preliminary screening of the goods participating in the auction.

Wang Tianhui saw that everyone brought a variety of goods, the big one actually carried a coffin, the small one was just a ring, most of them were hidden in the safe, and they could only be revealed when they registered.

It is also separated by a thick glass wall, so you can catch a glimpse from a distance, and you may be taken away before you can see it clearly.

Wang Tianhui was also curious about what these people brought.

He used radar skills to observe, but he could only see the outline. Many treasures would not know its value unless they saw the real face.

Then he remembered something.

In the Beetle Contest before, the system won a skill upgrade card by lottery, but it was useless.

Anyway, idle is idle, it is better to use it.

"System, use the skill upgrade card!"

Ding!
"The host is asked to choose the skills to be upgraded. The skills that can be upgraded currently are treasure appraising master skills, psychic intermediate skills, divine doctor master skills, and radar intermediate skills."

"Upgrade the skills of the master appraiser!"

Ding!
"Congratulations to the master appraiser's skill for upgrading to treasure appraiser master skill, changing from touch identification to visual identification. Just by observing, you can know the authenticity of the treasure, the year maker and other information."

interesting!
Isn't this a pair of piercing eyes?
Wang Tianhui first glanced at the product of the person who was registering, it was a bright red postage stamp.

Although he only glanced at it twice, the information about this stamp appeared in Wang Tianhui's mind.

This is an 1856 native Eagle Guyana stamp known as "One Penny Magenta" due to a shortage of local Guyana stamps and Eagle Native stamps not being delivered yet.

Therefore, only a small number of 1-cent magenta and 4-cent blue stamps were rushed to be printed in the local newspaper printing factory.

It is understood that this stamp is still the only one of the same series of stamps issued in limited quantities during the period when the Eagle Kingdom ruled Guyana, and the four corners of the stamp were cut off, and the square became an octagon. It is a "disabled" precious stamp. .

As the only out-of-print stamp, Wang Tianhui estimates that this stamp may set a new record high for stamp auctions.

Master Appreciation skills are really good.

Then Wang Tianhui took another look at the most conspicuous coffin in the hall.

The ancient pharaoh's coffin is very distinctive. Unlike the rectangular coffin in Huaguo, it is directly shaped into a human shape. The surface of the coffin is inlaid with gold gems and painted with the appearance of the pharaoh, giving people a mysterious and ancient charm.

The coffin was made of wood and covered with gold leaf.

The face and hands on the coffin lid are made of gold nuggets.

The eyebrows and eyelids are made of dark blue glass, the whites of the eyes are made of plaster, and the pupils are made of volcanic glass. In his hand, he holds a scepter and whip made of gold inlaid with blue glass.

Looking at this gorgeous coffin, Wang Tianhui couldn't help sighing that the ancient people's attention to the dead was not much worse than that of the ancient emperors of Huaguo.

But what shocked Wang Tianhui even more was that these poor people even sold their pharaoh's coffin and mummified corpse. I really feel sad for that pharaoh.

The pharaoh's coffin is very exquisite, generally there are four layers, this golden coffin is the innermost layer, which contains the pharaoh's mummy.

When Wang Tianhui observed the pharaoh's mummy with the radar skill and treasure appraising skill, he almost laughed out loud.

The pharaoh's coffin is real, but the pharaoh is fake.

There is indeed a mummy inside, but it is not a product of the same period as this gorgeous pharaoh's coffin. This mummy is a fake.

It was artificially made, pretending to be a pharaoh was stuffed in.

But this mummy also has some history, almost 500 years ago, produced during the Renaissance.

At that time, the nobles had an incredible attachment to mummies, and believed that it had mysterious power, and the older it was, the greater its power.

They believe that mummies can cure all diseases, even prolong life, beautify the skin and so on.

So these European nobles spent a lot of money to buy mummies and grind them into powder, which they used and ate.

The Renaissance period was also the era of rapid development of European painting. The era when ocher had always dominated the brown color. The appearance of the mummies won the favor of artists at that time, and there was a great demand for mummies in medicine and pigments at that time.

But the number of mummies is limited. In order to make more money, the industry of making mummies has been secretly bred.

Some vagrants, orphans and even criminals were mummified, and after some disguise, they could be sold for a high price.

This false pharaoh was a product of that time.

The guy lying in the pharaoh's coffin was unfortunately killed, but fortunately he didn't become medicine powder and pigment, but slept in the pharaoh's coffin for hundreds of years.

Who would have thought that death would lead to the pinnacle of life?What a sarcasm.
