Shaanxi Satellite TV's large-scale treasure collection column "Huashan Commentary", in a program, came a Taiyuan old master surnamed Hu.
Only to see him open the box he carried with him, revealing the items inside, it turned out to be a strange-looking "golden turtle", which immediately aroused the curiosity of many viewers.
Then uncle introduced himself, this golden turtle is his own ancestor, once someone bid 2.8 billion, asked me to buy!
2.8 billion! For the vast majority of ordinary people, it may be a goal that cannot be achieved in a lifetime, so when the uncle's voice just fell, a heated discussion broke out in the audience.
So is this collection really worth 28 billion yuan as Uncle said? What exactly are the results of the experts' appraisal? What was the final outcome of this matter?
Let's take a closer look at the whole process of this incident and see what the final evaluation given by the experts is.
The 5,000 years of Chinese history and culture have given birth to a splendid Chinese civilization, the most representative of which is all kinds of treasure books.
Under the precipitation of thousands of years, countless precious antique calligraphy and paintings have been lost in the folk, they are either destroyed in the war, or disappeared because of their age, but more are treated as heirlooms by folk collectors and passed down from generation to generation.
With the development of social economy, some folk collectors may take out their family heirloom treasures for identification for various reasons, so a trend of antiques has become popular in China.
To this end, each David TV has also launched a variety of treasure hunting programs, watching one baby after another after the identification of experts, the value of the double, which also makes many people hot, have begun to search for old objects at home, to see if it is a baby.
When the antique trend was popular, Shaanxi Satellite TV also launched a treasure appreciation program, called "Huashan Commentary", and the column group specially hired several treasure experts to identify for various folk collectors.
The program has achieved great results, and thus attracted many private collectors, who have brought their own antiques to the program group, hoping to let the experts identify it.
And in a certain episode of the show, with the introduction of the host, a plainly dressed old man took a healthy step and slowly walked to the center of the stage.
After the boss came to the host and stood still, the audience's attention was attracted by the wooden box held by the uncle, and the host was no exception.
So the host asked, "Uncle, can you tell me what's in this wooden box?" And after listening to the host's words, the old man did not sell guanzi and directly opened the wooden box.
At this time, with the change of lens, we can finally see what the contents of the wooden box are. It turned out to be a strangely shaped "golden turtle".
Looking at this golden turtle, the audience at the scene will inevitably have some discussion, and they are speculating, how much is this golden turtle worth?
But soon the host calmed down the discussion of the audience, and then continued, so uncle, can you tell us how you got this collection?
As the host's voice fell, the uncle also responded again, according to the introduction of the uncle himself, his surname is Hu, is a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, and this golden turtle is his own ancestral treasure.
After listening to Uncle Hu's words, the host also said again, so Uncle Hu, why did you sign up for this show?
In this regard, Uncle Hu replied that he did not intend to come, but some time ago, his son lost money in business and owed a lot of money outside.
After hearing about his son, he thought that he had to help, so he thought of this family heirloom treasure, and he wanted to ask an expert to identify it to see how much it was worth?
After listening to the words of the uncle, the host also understood in his heart that this was a difficulty encountered at home, so he wanted to sell the antiques passed down, as for the show, the main thing was to let the experts estimate the price, and they would sell it later.
After thinking about this, the host did not continue to ask questions, so he began to say, so since this is the case, Uncle also asked you to hand over this antique to the experts of our program for identification.
Uncle Hu also nodded after listening, and then sent the golden turtle with the wooden box to the expert, hoping that the expert could give a good result.
The experts on the other side also began to observe immediately after getting the golden turtle, they carefully watched the golden turtle bit by bit, while the audience was also anxiously waiting.
About ten minutes passed, and the experts handed the golden turtle back to Uncle Hu again, and the atmosphere at this time was extremely tense, because the next time was to reveal the final answer.
Soon an expert began to speak, we have just studied for a long time, and we all agree that this golden turtle is indeed made of pure gold, and this alone makes the golden turtle valuable.
Another point is that we also found the six ancient characters "Chinese Army General Medal" at the bottom of the golden turtle, and these six ancient characters indicate that this golden turtle is actually likely to be the seal used by an ancient executive!
After listening to the expert's words, the audience at the scene boiled up again, because although they did not understand any archaeological knowledge, they could also understand the meaning behind the expert's words.
However, the next sentence of the expert made the audience at the scene and Uncle Hu himself stunned, and the expert continued to speak after waiting for the discussion at the scene to subside.
Although this golden turtle is genuine, I think it is actually an unearthed cultural relic with high historical research value, so I recommend donating this golden turtle to the museum as soon as possible to avoid future disasters.
Obviously, the expert's words made Uncle Hu stand on the spot, what is called donating as soon as possible, so as not to bring disasters in the future?
This made Uncle Hu feel very dissatisfied in his heart, so Uncle Hu responded, this is my family heirloom treasure, why do you want me to donate it? If it were you, would you still pay?
Uncle Hu's words suddenly made the experts fall into a silence, watching the atmosphere of the scene frozen, so the host quickly interrupted this topic and asked Uncle, how did this golden turtle become your family heirloom?
The host's words played a very good role in alleviating, Uncle Hu also responded after listening, how this golden turtle came from, I am not very clear, only know that this is from my grandfather's generation.
Later, my grandfather passed on this golden turtle to my grandfather, my grandfather gave it to my father, my father gave it to me again, and my father also told me before he died, this is actually a duracell turtle, which is very valuable.
After listening to Uncle Hu's words, we can also see from it that this golden turtle can indeed be said to be his family heirloom, and it is already the fourth generation of his generation.
Therefore, many people also think that the request of the expert just now is a bit excessive, after all, this is someone else's family heirloom treasure, why should people hand it in with a word?
However, after talking about the origin of this golden turtle, Uncle Hu continued to say that in fact, before I was on the show, someone had already asked me to buy this golden turtle, but I did not agree.
Uncle Hu's words immediately aroused the curiosity of the host, who is the person who opened his mouth to ask for it? And what price did he give?
So the host brought out the doubts in his heart, and Uncle Hu quickly responded, according to Uncle Hu himself, this incident happened more than ten years ago.
At that time, Uncle Hu suddenly received a mysterious phone call, and the person on the other end of the phone said that he wanted to buy this golden turtle in Uncle Hu's house and promised to pay Uncle 2.8 billion!
2.8 billion! Hearing this number, the audience at the scene can no longer resist the passion in their hearts, it can be said that this number may be the vast majority of Chinese people, the goal that they can't reach in their lives!
So the discussion spread quickly, and the experts on the other side kept looking sideways because of the uncle's words, and it was obvious that they were also shocked by this sky-high price.
However, Uncle Hu then said something again, and Uncle Hu said that he was also very shocked when he heard this opening price, and he couldn't believe that someone would really spend 2.8 billion yuan to buy his own golden turtle.
Therefore, after Uncle Hu regained his composure, he immediately thought that the other party was a liar, so he hung up the phone angrily!
But after Uncle Hu hung up the phone, he remembered this family heirloom golden turtle in his heart, thinking about how much is this golden turtle worth?
Therefore, Uncle Hu, who had doubts in his heart, quietly contacted some local antique lovers and some buyers to ask how much their own golden turtle was worth?
Soon after synthesizing the analysis of these people, Uncle Hu himself gave a judgment in his heart, that is, this ancestral golden turtle in his family should be around sixty million!
But even sixty million is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, so the audience is once again caught up in a heated discussion, and they have estimated how much this golden turtle is worth?
But after all, they are not professional, so the host asked the experts, this ancestral golden turtle of Uncle Hu's family, the market price is about what?
In this regard, the expert replied that according to my identification just now, the market price of this golden turtle is actually not 60 million, let alone 2.8 billion.
The greatest value of this golden turtle is actually not how much money it can sell, but in its historical research value.
The expert's words once again aroused the interest of the audience and Uncle Hu, so the host on the side also asked again, according to your judgment, what is the origin of this golden turtle?
After listening to the host's words, the expert pondered for a moment and then opened his mouth again, as I have just said, this golden turtle is actually the seal of a high-ranking official in ancient times.
The "seal" system not only has a strong political symbol in ancient mainland China, but even modern seals have strong political colors.
According to my appraisal just now, this golden turtle should be a product of the Eastern Han Dynasty from its material, and among the six words of the "Chinese Army General Chapter" engraved on it, "Chinese Army" is actually the name of the official position.
In ancient times, the mainland had the so-called "General of the Chinese Army", because I can determine that this golden turtle must be the seal of the person who served as the "General of the Chinese Army" in the army during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
And generally speaking, antiquities like this will rarely circulate in the market, and if they appear, it is very likely to be excavated cultural relics.
Speaking of this, everyone at the scene, including Uncle Hu, also has a little clarity in their hearts, this expert is actually saying that the origin of this golden turtle may not be so formal.
After saying all this, the expert opened his mouth again, so based on the above judgment, I still suggest that Uncle Hu hand over this golden turtle to the state so as not to bring disasters in the future.
After listening to the expert's words, Uncle Hu felt very angry again, why did he want me to turn it in again? The more he thought about it, the more angry Uncle Hu became, once again resolutely rejected the expert's suggestion.
Uncle Hu believes that this is the treasure handed down by his grandfather and has been passed down from his family for four generations, so the experts have no right to deal with it at all, and he is still waiting to sell this golden turtle to pay off his son's debt!
Therefore, after not getting a specific estimate from the expert, Uncle Hu was full of anger and left the scene with his family heirloom treasure.
