Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

I searched for Wang Bing's location with my real eyes, and I found Wang Bing's figure in a park near the CBD. He was sitting with a girl at the moment, talking in a low voice.

It may not be appropriate to say a girl, it should be a mature woman.

And it's mostly women who are talking about it, Wang Bing can hardly let out a fart with a slap.

Seeing this, Zhao An felt teased in his heart, took out his mobile phone and transferred 100 million to Wang Bing's account.

Then within a few seconds, Wang Bing's cell phone text message rang,

A conscientious driver like Wang Bing is quite sensitive to the various notification sounds of his mobile phone, so he immediately took out his mobile phone to check the text messages.

Then I saw the information that 100 million had arrived, and when Wang Bing was a little dazed,

The mature elder sister also tilted her head and glanced at it, and said lightly: "Oh, I have a good family background!"

Wang Bing was at a loss and said, "Well, I don't know why the boss suddenly transferred the money to me."

Zhao An transferred money to Wang Bing several times, and of course Wang Bing knew it was him.

The older sister, who was a mature woman, said nonchalantly, "It means that your boss values ​​you very much.

At first, I thought, I dug you into our company, but now it seems that I can't do it! "

Wang Bing said: "Our boss is very nice. As far as all the companies in the CBD are concerned, our company's benefits should be considered the best."

"I heard, Zhao's mining industry!" The mature sister complained: "There is a mine at home!"

There was no good thing to disturb Wang Bing, so Zhao An called Song Haicheng and said, "Captain Song, the yacht is ready to sail, you can come back first."

Song Haicheng wondered, "Don't wait for the helicopter to come off the production line?"

Zhao An said with a smile: "Let Yan Dong and the others drive over at that time, you take the fastest flight back first,

Restock Serenity and we'll set sail tomorrow. "

This is the first salvage, Zhao An will definitely go there in person, so that he can command on the spot, check for omissions and make up for vacancies.

Secondly, he is also quite curious about the current salvage method.

Then, when the team is well-adjusted, they can act as the hands-off shopkeeper and enjoy the success.

I went back to the company and stayed until noon. After lunch, Wang Bing finally came back.

Zhao An pretended to be ignorant and asked him to send himself to the pier without asking him about the mature woman.

When Wang Bing was missing before, Zhao An was very anxious.

Now that Wang Bing has signs of this, Zhao An is not in a hurry.

As a veteran driver, Zhao An knows the truth that hot tofu cannot be eaten in a hurry, and he needs to eat every bite, so let him develop freely.

Of course, it was an accident between him and Li Zhiyuan, although the ending was beautiful.

As for the money transferred to Wang Bing, Zhao An reasoned that it was an early bonus and that it would not be paid at the end of the year.

Without further ado, Zhao An called Gao Qiang to buy supplies as soon as he arrived at the pier.

Not long after, Song Haicheng also rushed back, directing the crew to refuel and clean the deck, a busy scene.

In the evening, extra meals were added to the crew, so Zhao An couldn't make do with it.

Returned home early, had a cozy dinner with Li Zhiyuan,

He also told her about going to sea, Li Zhiyuan said: "Go, I'm used to it anyway, you can't stay for a few days."

Zhao An smiled and said, "I'll just go out for a few days, and I'll be back soon."

Li Zhiyuan snorted and said, "You think I don't know. At the speed of a yacht, it would take at least a week to go back and forth on the high seas, let alone going to a farther place."

Zhao An smiled and said: "It's okay, when our helicopter is in place, if you miss me in the future, just give me a call.

I'll fly to you right away, how about it? "

Li Zhiyuan shook her head and said, "You're not by my side, I always feel that loneliness drowns me like a tide, and makes me sink in the boundless desolation."

Zhao An hugged her lightly and whispered in her ear: "You don't have to do this. When I cross the sinking wilderness and fight against loneliness, you will be my flag!"

Chapter 266 Blue and White Vines

On the morning of the sailing, there was light rain falling from the sky,

If in ancient times, this kind of misty rain was the best weather for firing azure, because the source could not be controlled. The reason for the firing temperature is that the best azure color will not appear until it is fired in misty and rainy weather.

Zhao An boarded the Tranquility with all supplies prepared, and said lightly: "Let's go!"

Amidst the sound of the long siren, Tranquility slowly left the port and sailed into the Yangtze River waterway.

The crew performed their duties and were on duty at their respective posts. Zhao An was lying on the sofa in the owner's room on the uppermost floor with a panoramic skylight, looking at the hazy river view in the rain, he couldn't help feeling that the light boat had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains pleasure.

Presumably Li Bai, the poet fairy, was so happy when he went down the Yangtze River by boat.

It takes 3 days to go upstream and more than a day to go downstream. The Tranquility will berth at Yangshan Port in Shencheng in the afternoon of the next day.

Ai Qingrou had already brought people there to wait.

Zhao An ordered Gao Qiang and others to remove the antique porcelain from the Tranquility, without opening the box to inspect the goods. Zhao An followed them directly to Ai Qingrou's company.

Carefully moved the things to Ai Qingrou's office, Zhao An asked Gao Qiang and others to wait outside,

He opened the box himself and revealed the packed porcelain inside one by one.

There are azure porcelain and moist jade, which instantly dazzled the eyes of Ai Qingrou and the others.

"Is this blue and white porcelain? It feels so delicate and beautiful!" Amy exclaimed.

An Qi said with contempt: "Rare is more strange, so Mr. Zhao, are you sure this is Yuan Qinghua worth hundreds of millions?"

Cough, what is the difference between what you said and Amy?

Zhao An smiled slightly and said, "I can't be sure about the exact year.

However, judging from the exquisiteness of these porcelains, the value of hundreds of millions is justified. "

Then he glanced at Jessica, indicating that it could be identified.

Ai Qingrou also said: "Porcelain is not handy, let Jessica get it right."

Jessica wore white gloves on both hands, and took out a large blue and white vase from the box,

First look at the inscription on the bottom of the bottle and say: "This large blue and white vase, first of all, is in line with the thick waist and wide mouth style of blue and white in the early Yuan Dynasty.

The inscription on the bottom is the regular script "Longevity and Eternity", and the part exposed to the tire has obvious sintered iron oxide red color, which is commonly known as "fire red".

In addition, it can be seen from the bottom that its tire color is not white enough, the tire is thicker and has small trachoma,

These are in line with the characteristics of Yuan blue and white. "

Looking up at Zhao An, Jessica continued: "Next, let's look at the glaze color. The glaze of this porcelain is grayed or yellowed, and the glaze layer has a strong luster.

It shows that it used the domestic green material at that time, and the proportion of glaze ash in the glaze layer is very high. This kind of glaze is also called shadow green glaze. "

Everyone listened with gusto, and Jessica spoke eloquently, describing all the characteristics of this piece of porcelain very well.

"Then let's take a look at its decoration," said Jessica, who was addicted, and gently put the porcelain bottle on the table, holding it tightly with one hand, and pointed to the pattern on the bottle with the other: "This is the common vine pattern on Yuan blue and white flowers. ,

This kind of vine pattern decoration on porcelain started from Yuan blue and white, and was widely used in early blue and white porcelain. "

At this time, Ai Qingrou answered: "But as far as I know, there seems to be no such vines before the Song Dynasty. What kind of culture does it represent?"

Jessica stood the bottle firmly and supported it, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, this kind of vine is a grape vine, which first appeared in Egypt. It means evergreen and longevity, which echoes the inscription on the bottom of the bottle."

Amy was surprised: "How did the characteristics of ancient Egyptian culture 3000 years ago appear on Yuan Qinghua?"

Jessica rolled her eyes and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, how can you be sure that this is Yuan Qinghua?"

Amy stuck out her little tongue and stopped talking.

Zhao Anhao sat on the side in a leisurely manner, smiling and watching Jessica talking freely.

Jessica continued: "This kind of vine decoration first spread from ancient Egypt to ancient Greece, and later from the Byzantine Empire to the Arab world, where it was integrated into their Islamic culture.

The Arabs like this delicate and friendly pattern very much. After all, their religion does not allow animals to be painted.

So they accepted this arabesque decorative pattern almost immediately.

Even now, in many Arabic-style church hand-painted patterns, it is not difficult to find that white, blue and arabesques are the mainstream.

It is very similar to today's blue and white porcelain with color matching and patterns. "

"I know!" Ai Qingrou said pleasantly as if discovering a new continent: "More than 700 years ago,

Genghis Khan personally led the army to march westward, and captured Huacizimo, a big country that believed in Islam at that time.

Later, Semuren appeared in his army and subordinates, and there were many subordinates of Genghis Khan at that time.Converted to Islam, which created the conditions for the integration of nationalities and cultures,

After they took control of the Central Plains, they not only brought many cultural traditions of their own nation, but also brought many achievements of Islamic civilization.

So this is the reason why such vine patterns appeared in large numbers on many blue and white porcelains in the early Yuan Dynasty. "

The logic is self-consistent...

You are all done for me, what can I say?

Zhao An complained in his heart, and said, "How about it, can you date this porcelain?"

Jessica pursed her lips, looked at the porcelain in her hand, took a deep breath and said, "This porcelain, I believe it is from the early Yuan Dynasty, a wide-mouthed white ground shadow celadon vase from the Yuan Dynasty."

Drilled, but drilled well!

Zhao An applauded and said with a smile: "Jessica has such a good eye, she's straight to the point!"

After that, Jessica appraised them one after another, and all other porcelain and jade wares were identified as authentic, and the date was also determined to be the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

In fact, although this batch of porcelain is several decades earlier than the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty,

However, the identification of blue and white porcelain in the early Yuan Dynasty cannot determine the exact age.

Moreover, the characteristics of the shape, carcass, glaze color, ornamentation, and patterns of these porcelains are generally the same as those of the blue and white porcelains in the early Yuan Dynasty.

It is understandable that Jessica regards Li Gui as Li Kui.

After the appraisal, Ai Qingrou signed an agreement with Zhao An to entrust the auction.

Zhao An politely declined Ai Qingrou's request to invite dinner, and returned to Tranquility with Gao Qiang and others.

Chapter 267

Who knows the big dream first, I know it all my life.

Waking up from the large, soft and comfortable bed in the owner's cabin in the morning, Zhao An stretched his waist,

I have to say that as a luxury yacht worth [-] million US dollars, the Tranquility is still super valuable in terms of the comfort of the bed.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, on the uppermost deck, Zhao An had already had breakfast amidst the swaying waves, and Zhao An was ready to start today's work.

In fact, today's schedule is very full. He needs to rent a place in Yangshan Wharf for the branch of the salvage team as an office space, which is necessary for corporate management.

Taking Gao Qiang Wang Bing off the boat, Zhao An met the branch manager sent by the headquarters, his name was Zhu Xiancheng,

Before that, he served as the deputy director of the marketing department in Zhao's Mining Industry. He was also responsible for contacting companies such as Ai Qingrou and selling gemstones.

Zhao An looked at Zhu Xiancheng who was full of energy, and said kindly: "It's been a long time!"

Zhu Xiancheng smiled and said: "Morning Mr. Zhao, I just arrived and got acquainted with the environment."

Zhao An said as he walked, "How about it, is there any good location?"

Zhu Xiancheng followed Zhao An halfway behind and said: "There are still quite a lot of suitable office areas here in Yangshan, and there are corresponding warehouses. Does Mr. Zhao want to take a look?"

"Let's go and have a look."

The location where Tranquility docks is in the Donggang District of Yangshan Port, not very far from the office area, just a 5-minute walk away.

When he arrived at the place, Zhu Xiancheng went up to explain his purpose, and some staff took a few people to visit the vacant office.

Zhao An took a look and was generally satisfied, so he asked Zhu Xiancheng, "What do you think? Is it enough?"

Zhu Xiancheng smiled and said, "It's not bad. In the future, there should be about 20 people in the branch. This space is enough."

He's talking about administrative staff, not counting the salvage team,

However, the salvage team is responsible for the work on the ship and does not need to work in the office.

Zhao An nodded and said: "That's it, Manager Zhu went to go through the formalities, and set up the branch office as soon as possible."
