Experts stalled the "peerless sword", the stall owner lion opened his mouth to 2 million, but unexpectedly lost 1 billion
Most people buy things think that "cheap and no good goods", Zhejiang Yiwu small commodities can buy one for 2 yuan, but the quality is worrying, so many people feel that the more expensive things are sold, the better. However, there are exceptions to everything, a cultural relics expert found a unique sword on the stall, the sale price is only 2 million Hong Kong dollars, although 2 million Hong Kong dollars in the eyes of many ordinary people is still very high, but compared to the true value of this sword, 2 million Hong Kong dollars is a very low asking price.
In the ancient cold weapon society, the sword was an extremely important weapon, which was widely used in battlefields and close combat. After the Western Zhou Dynasty, the sword was not only the exclusive item of the warrior's self-defense, but the literati doctor would wear the sword as an ornament on the body.
However, the early swords of the Western Zhou Dynasty did not have a sword sheath, people tied a rope on the ring of the handle of the sword and hung it around the waist, and the sword was directly exposed to the air with a certain danger, and the sheath appeared in the late period, reducing the probability of the sword accidentally injuring others.
The earliest sword in China is the bronze sword of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the most powerful time of bronze sword forging technology is not the Western Zhou, but the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Guo and Yue Guo are especially good at casting swords, and the sword name Zhenjianghu cast by Ou Yezi, the originator of the Yue Kingdom's "sword casting", is zhenjianghu, and the five famous swords of the Yue King, Zhanlu, Pure Jun, Sheng Evil, Fish Intestine, and Giant Que, are his representative works.
After Gou Jian's death, in order to be worthy of his position as overlord, his son Lu Yin found Ou Yezi to cast a sword for him, and Ou Yezi cast him "Warring States Yue King's Will to Bow Sword", this sword is currently hidden in the Zhejiang Museum, why can it be in Zhejiang Bo, there is a tortuous story.
In 1995, Ma Chengyuan, a bronze expert at the Shanghai Museum, was sent to Hong Kong for official business, and he went to the cultural relics stall in Mayoudi to go around without any trouble, don't look at the cultural relics stall is just a stall, but there are more or less real goods in it, it depends on whether your vision is poisonous enough, can you find the real thing in a bunch of fake goods.
Ma Chengyuan is an experienced cultural relics worker, many times for the country to rescue a large number of cultural relics, once found more than 300 cultural relics in Hong Kong, this time he came to the treasure land, to see if he can still find more for the country lost folk authenticity, did not expect this time let him pick up the treasure.
Ma Chengyuan found a bronze sword on a stall, this bronze sword is particularly conspicuous in a pile of fakes, 52.4 cm long, the sword body has an inscription of the Double Hook Bird worm book, the front side is written "戉 (Yue) Wang (Yue) Wang" and the reverse side is written "The Purpose of the Person is to Look", because this sword is rusty and incorruptible, these eight big characters are very clearly presented in front of people's eyes.
Ma Chengyuan felt that if this sword is a fake, the counterfeiter can not make a sword with fine workmanship and a sophisticated history, and he has seven or eight points in mind to grasp that this sword is genuine, so he asks the boss how much money can be sold, the boss put up two fingers, Ma Chengyuan thought it was 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the result was that the boss said 2 million!
Ma Chengyuan was scared out of a cold sweat, 2 million in the 90s was a huge amount of money, Ma Chengyuan could not take out so much money, he asked the boss if he could be less. The boss saw that Ma Chengyuan really wanted, afraid of the high price to scare this big fish away, he made a little concession, but it also needed 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars to deal, Ma Chengyuan was worried that there would be other competitors rushing ahead of him to buy, so he quickly found a phone call to Shangbo, returned the fact that he found a bronze sword, and mentioned that he wanted 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.
Shangbo repeatedly asked Ma Chengyuan whether the bronze sword he found was real, if he looked away and bought a handful of waste with a huge amount of money, it would not be good, Ma Chengyuan used decades of work experience as a guarantee to confirm that he did not look away, Shangbo said: "Good, we will take care of the money matter here."
”
Only a few days later, Shangbo contacted Ma Chengyuan and told him an exciting good news, Zhejiang Hangzhou Iron and Steel Group was willing to pay for the purchase of the bronze sword, Ma Chengyuan listened to the tears and quickly flowed, and soon after he got 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars from the steel group, bought the bronze sword on the stall, the stall owner looked at the 1.5 million eyes and felt that he had made a profit, in fact, he did not know that the real price of this bronze sword was at least 1 billion.
Ma Chengyuan brought the bronze sword back to Shanghai, and further research with a number of experts found that this sword was the "Warring States Yue King's Will to the Sword" cast by Ou Yezi to Lu Yin that year, because it was Zhejiang that paid for the purchase of the national treasure back to the mainland, the Warring States Yue King's intention to hide the sword was of course hidden in Zhejiang Bo, and now it is the treasure of Zhejiang Bo's town hall.
