The man took a sledgehammer to the stage to appreciate the treasure, claiming that it was a treasure left by the famous Sui Dynasty general Pei Yuanqing, and the audience laughed at the scene.
According to legend, Pei Yuanqing was a fierce general with infinite strength, and his weapon was indeed a pair of hammers, which were said to weigh hundreds of pounds. The hammer brought by the man looks relatively small, weighing at most more than a dozen pounds.
Therefore, everyone feels that the hammer taken by the man has nothing to do with pei Yuanqing in history. After being ridiculed by the audience, the man was not embarrassed, but frankly introduced himself, saying that his surname was Pei, from Shandong, and the hammer that was used for identification was an heirloom left by Uncle Da, which must have been left by Pei Yuanqing.
The host knew the audience's doubts, and asked Mr. Pei in surprise, isn't the ancient general's hammer very big, why is your hammer so small?
Mr. Pei explained with a smile that hundreds of pounds of weapons were all fabricated by the novel story. Ancient generals are also people, the weapons they use are not very large, if you really take a few hundred pounds of weapons, let alone go to the battlefield to fight, even walking is difficult, more than a dozen pounds is normal.
Mr. Pei's explanation is very reasonable, but the audience still does not want to believe that what he brought is a treasure. Mr. Pei once again stressed that this hammer was their heirloom, and the uncle was the eldest son of the family and inherited the hammer, but the uncle had no children and no daughters all his life, and passed the hammer to him.
This hammer has been passed down in their family for many years, and Mr. Pei firmly believes that it must be a treasure. Mr. Pei also said that before participating in the treasure hunting program, he specifically looked for some knowledgeable friends to watch it, saying that it was worth at least 3 million.
Knowing that Mr. Pei had found someone to evaluate the value of the hammer, everyone wondered again. If this hammer is really an heirloom, he should always store it at home, there is no need to take it for valuation, and he has traveled thousands of miles to participate in the treasure show.
The treasure holder who is looking for someone to value and identify is either unsure of the authenticity of the treasure, or wants to get a relatively accurate price to facilitate subsequent transactions. Since Mr. Pei firmly believes that his hammer is a real treasure, then he should want to sell the hammer.
Mr. Pei did not intend to hide from everyone, he explained with some pain that he really wanted to sell the hammer, because his uncle was seriously ill, he wanted to let his uncle recover as soon as possible, but he could not come up with so much medical expenses, so he had the plan to sell the heirloom.
Everyone listened to Mr. Pei's affairs and sympathized with him, hoping that his hammer was a treasure. After careful identification, the experts were overjoyed and could not help but say that this hammer was indeed a treasure left by the Sui Dynasty, a precious antique cultural relic, and its value was far more than 3 million.
Mr. Pei was very happy to hear it, and the audience was also happy for Mr. Pei, but the expert suddenly said that this hammer is of great value and should be donated to the museum, only in this way can it be better passed on.
Mr. Pei was very unhappy to hear this, and angrily refused to say, if I donate, what should I do with my uncle's illness?
The expert listened to some embarrassment, hurriedly changed his mouth, I understand your mood, just now you also said, someone is willing to bid 3 million to buy a hammer, if you don't mind, I will bid 3 million to buy this hammer, you took the money to treat uncle in peace, and then I took the hammer to hand it in.
Mr. Pei listened to the expert's words and fell silent, and after a moment he replied with some embarrassment, I want to go home and discuss with uncle, after all, this is my uncle's thing.
Experts also know that Mr. Pei is an assertive person, there is no way to urge him, or force him, according to the program team's process, issued him a certificate of authenticity.
What do you think about Mr. Pei' case, should you sell the hammer to an expert, or find an opportunity to sell it to someone else at a higher price, or deal with it in some other way?
