Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

This manuscript written by Newton solved two historical mysteries at once. One of them was the first time that the reason why Newton chose alchemy was known through Newton himself instead of other side information.

Although there is a certain probability that this reason is that Newton made some preparations in advance in order to use it as a quibble in such an exposure situation. But based on other circumstances, the statement here should most likely be true.

Another mystery that has been solved is the reason why William Chaloner wrote to Newton before his death. Obviously this is the same as what many people have speculated. The other party thought that he had mastered Newton's secret, so Trying to blackmail him.

"Okay, here is all the information that can be analyzed about this treasure." After explaining the discovery, Liang En began to talk about another issue that everyone is concerned about.

"I think now everyone should be thinking about how precious these things are, so next we should look at how much the things we found today are worth."

For the vast majority of people, they are not interested in content that is too professional. So Liang En quickly changed the topic to what everyone was interested in.

"What I want to remind everyone here is that no matter where you dig up treasures, please contact the local responsible department in this regard as soon as possible, such as a professional committee or a nationally recognized museum."

Before talking about how much these things are worth, Liang En first said a paragraph about how to deal with the found treasures as requested by the previous program team, and then talked about the main text.

Hampton Court Palace Museum is obviously very interested in these items, especially since it was here that the items that first sparked the treasure hunt were found.

Therefore, for the Hampton Court Palace Museum, if this pile of cultural relics can be obtained, it should be a very good focus to attract tourists.

Especially these things were discovered in a live broadcast, so these physical objects will naturally have a strong appeal to tourists with the help of video materials.

Negotiations related to money are the most difficult. Fortunately, both Newton's alchemical manuscripts and the tools used to make counterfeit coins have been auctioned within a few years, so it is not difficult to set a price.

It's just that because these cultural relics involve the famous police-thief conflict between Newton and William Chaloner, there will naturally be some changes in pricing.

After all, in the cultural relics market, the value of the cultural relics themselves only accounts for an important part, and more value comes from the stories behind these cultural relics.

To take the simplest example, the market price of an ordinary inkstone in the mid-Qing Dynasty may only be a few thousand yuan, but if it is used by a celebrity, such as Cao Xueqin, the value can immediately increase several times or even more than ten times.

And if it can be proven that this inkstone was used by Cao Xueqin when he created "Dream of Red Mansions", then the price will easily exceed one million yuan.

What Liang En and the others found now happened to witness Newton's greatest victory in the battle against counterfeiters after he became the director of the mint. At the same time, they also solved two historical mysteries.

Therefore, in terms of price, it is normal for them to be a grade more expensive than similar products. How much it costs is a hot topic of debate between Liang En and Hampton Court Palace Museum.

"I remember that the auction price of one of Newton's burned manuscripts was as high as 360,000 pounds. So the price of the manuscript I found today should be 500,000 pounds, considering the completeness of its preservation and the content inside." Liang En Speaking of.

"No, sir, you can't calculate it that way." The person in charge of the Hampton Court Palace Heritage Acquisition Office immediately retorted. "The number of that manuscript is 1/3 more than this, and the content recorded in it is not much worse than what is recorded in this manuscript——"

"But there is a solid story behind this manuscript, and I think you should take into account those intangible facts that have a significant impact on the value of the object."

"Yes, of course I will consider this. But the problem is that this kind of invisible story also has a certain degree of uncertainty, so I cannot fully bear the risk in this regard-"

In front of the camera, Liang En had a quarrel with the person in charge of Hampton Court Palace. Because they know that they are now facing dozens or even millions of viewers, the argument between the two of them naturally has a certain element of performance.

Among them, Liang En showed his mastery of historical knowledge and a little bit of stubbornness, while the person in charge worked hard to show his due diligence in his work.

This can also be regarded as a basic content of participating in this type of entertainment program, that is, establishing a personality to show one's own characteristics. Although Liang En and the person in charge didn't know exactly how to operate it, it wasn't too difficult to perform a little bit under the guidance of professionals on site.

However, as both parties compromised with each other, the deal gradually became closer. The reason why the compromise was so quick was because everyone wanted to complete the deal.

After all, according to law, Liang En cannot privately own these excavated objects and can only sell them to museums. Since Hampton Court Palace Museum is closely related to these things and has good economic conditions, the price bottom line should be higher.

The Hampton Court Palace Museum is anxious because although Liang En must sell these things to the museum, it is Liang En's own freedom to sell them to which museum. So naturally they wanted to get these in front of other museums.

In the end, Newton's manuscripts and the banknote plates for making counterfeit banknotes were priced at a total of 470,000 pounds. Although this price is not high, it is not low either.

Considering that this is a museum acquisition and not an auction after all, the museum can be considered very sincere in offering this price.

"I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate next time." After the transaction was completed, Liang En and the person in charge stood up at the same time and shook hands.

For both parties, this transaction made everyone involved in the transaction feel quite satisfied: Liang En sold these treasures at a very suitable price, and the museum got these treasures with an interesting story.

This also established Liang En's absolute advantage in the competition. Compared with others who searched for clues step by step, his adventure was obviously more attractive to the audience in front of the TV.

After he returned, he quickly received a call from Dr. Caldwell. During the call, the doctor praised Liang En's performance and believed that he had indeed successfully popularized archaeological knowledge to the public this time.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Liang En said with a smile after hearing the doctor's praise. For such a casual thing, he did not feel that he had made a great contribution.

Five days later, Liang En successfully took over the huge check prop with 150,000 pounds written on it and a trophy representing honor from Old Mike in front of the camera.

"I made 620,000 yuan in one week. This business is really good." Liang En thought on the way back to his residence after lunch, "And besides the money, the biggest gain this time is three cards."

There are three cards harvested this time, two of which are the common [Detection (N)] and [Legendary Power (N)], and one is [Alchemy (R)]

[Alchemy (R): In that ancient era, when the light of current science was not lit. Alchemy was the most cutting-edge science of that era.

However, as the times changed, alchemy gradually fell behind the times. Therefore, this subject gradually transformed into two parts, one part became modern chemistry, and the other part completely turned into superstition.

Strengthen card (one-time use). By consuming this card, you can master a series of knowledge of traditional alchemy, but the actual operation depends on your personal understanding. 】
