Chapter 670 Acupuncture Bronze Man
Silver dollars worth more than 5 million US dollars and are very small. They are not collected by precious things, but are placed with some ancient Chinese coins that are not very valuable. There is usually only one reason for this situation, that is, they are not real.
Li Yi casually looked at the silver dollar, smiled and used the spiritual card to brush it. Then he seemed like a thief. He secretly turned his head to look at Luo Guofu beside him, and quietly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
The two casts in 1795 are indeed imitations, but the one cast in 1794 is a real product! Moreover, it is a real product with good quality!
How could this happen? How could this happen?
You know, even if it is carefully maintained, the quality of a silver coin will be like this for more than 200 years. However, this thing is regarded as a fake!
The fakes are maintained so carefully. Is it because they are planning to sell the fakes as real people?
But, is it really good?
"Li, this coin should be very precious, right?"
When he was in a state of strife, Luo Guofu suddenly spoke, and the content of his speech scared Li Yi. Then he realized that this guy was pointing at a one-yuan gold coin commemorating the 15th year of the Republic of China, Zhang Zuolin like the Grand Marshal of the Lu Navy.
“Huh?”
Li Yi exclaimed lightly, picked up the crystal box containing the coin, and looked carefully.
This gold coin is a genuine product and is indeed very valuable. It has been sold on the market for more than 3 million soft girl coins!
Where did this guy get these things?
While thinking, Li Yi glanced at the other ancient coins. Not long after, he found another one more precious one for him.
The current market price of the Qing Dynasty Long Bearded Dragon gold sample coins minted during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty is 3.5 million!
"If he really wants to exchange that water lily, these two gold coins can also be considered, but the price cannot be completely referenced to the auction price, and the moisture there is relatively large..."
While Li Yi took the gold coins in his hand to check his appearance, he ordered Luo Guofu.
"Don't worry, in fact, few people who do antique business like to deal with auction houses. Not only do they charge high commissions, most of them are not very popular, but they also charge part of the promotional fee for the seller. Of course, it's OK, but if the promotion is not enough, the final price is difficult to predict..."
Li Yi looked at Luo Guofu, smiled strangely, and said:
"Haha, you forgot to say that there is actually the most important point, that is, after the auction, there is no way to avoid taxes, right?"
Luo Guofu coughed twice in embarrassment, saying that China's tax burden is heavy, but that is the tax burden of enterprises. Many of the individual's tax burdens are exempted through various legal or illegal channels, and the inspection is not very strict.
But they are different. They are really heavy. The income exceeds a certain amount, not to mention paying half of it, there are 70% of the countries that pay! How can they survive if they don’t find a way to avoid taxes?
"Haha, I don't care about these, but I want you to use these favorable conditions to try to exchange me with a few more good things!"
Although Li Yi is exchanging, and if they want to get the money, they need to sell the exchanged things before they can. They may encounter some unpredictable situations in the meantime, but they still like to exchange.
The reason is nothing special. The famous paintings Li Yi held are currently mainstream works in the world's literary and artistic circles, and have a strong ability to monetize. And no matter how precious or rare Chinese cultural relics are, they must be sold by the right person.
"Mr. Li..."
The two were talking softly, and suddenly the sound of Fronsova calling came from behind. When they turned around, Li Yi saw this guy holding a rectangular wooden box about 60 cm long, looking very heavy.
Walking over to help put the wooden box on the ground, Li Yi raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Bronze? What is this long strip?"
Flangsova shrugged and signaled Li Yi to see it himself. He was too confident in this thing. If Li Yi hadn't acted calmly towards Hu Xiao, he would have taken it out!
Seeing Flangsova pretending to be calm, Li Yi smiled and said, he had seen too many antiques, not only in large quantities, but also in all categories. Moreover, the ones he searched for were all very precious and rare.
What else can excite him?
He also hopes that others can make him excited!
The wooden box is folded down and opened.
Then, Li Yi's eyes narrowed, is this... acupuncture bronze man?
The information flashed through my mind like lightning. This bronze man is really a story. Not to mention its magical experience, it is not enough to describe a blockbuster movie. It is a legend about the bronze man's own functions, which is enough to attract attention!
By filtering out those magical legendary materials, Li Yi recalled historical materials about the bronze man who acupunctured.
The history of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the acupuncture bronze man used to learn and inherit the presentation had to wait until the Tiansheng period of the Northern Song Dynasty.
During the Tiansheng period of the Northern Song Dynasty, a total of two acupuncture bronze men were made, but later both of these two bronze men were missing. The one in the Japanese museum is said to be one of these two acupuncture bronze men, but there is still considerable controversy.
There is no dispute. The oldest one currently exists is a bronze man named Zhengoru in the Zhengorth of Ming Dynasty, which was ordered by Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty to imitate, called Zhengoru Bronze Man.
This orthodox bronze man has a tragic fate. He has been destroyed and restored several times in history. He was finally stolen by the Russian army during the Eight-Nation Alliance. He has not yet been returned and has been kept in the Emmetage Museum in St. Petersburg.
But the size of these bronze men is almost the same as that of the real man, while the one Fronsova brought was only one-third of the size of those bronze men. Can it be that precious?
You can say that although this bronze man is small, he may not be inferior to those bronze men when it comes to the level of preciousness, especially the one in front of him, maybe there is still a better time!
Because this one was given by Emperor Qianlong!
Well, it's Qianlong again, the emperor's big shadow is almost everywhere...
According to records, when Qianlong was still alive, he ordered Wu Qian and nine other medical officials to write a medical book together. After the book was completed, he gave each medical official a small bronze acupuncture man as a reward.
At present, only one of these nine bronze men was left. When unearthed, it had an external packaging shell, base, and the box contained the process of Wu Qian and others writing the "Medical Sect Golden Mirror", and it contained a red Qianlong seal. It was preserved very well and is now displayed in the Shanghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum.
That bronze man was very precious, not only because it was given by Qianlong, but also because she imitated a pregnant woman!
This was not found among the bronze men before.
As we all know, although the position and function of acupoints of men and women are similar, there are still quite different things after all, and pregnant women have even greater differences. In today's terms, this is called filling the gap in the academic world!
The one in front of Li Yi is also filling the gap in the academic world, because this one is made of imitating the body structure of a little boy!
But even if I imitate the little boy, even if I fill the so-called gap, even if it is given by Qianlong, it is a very precious level. If I really convert it into money, I may not be able to sell that tiger pot.
However, when Li Yi saw the original introduction of the seal of Emperor Qianlong's jade seal included in the wooden box, you know that you have made a wrong judgment. It is really difficult for the emergence of this bronze man.
Because, its cost is too high!
In the introduction, the size, weight, usage of this bronze man was introduced, and another very critical information, that is, this bronze man was carefully crafted after studying the meridians of 3,000 boys aged 12 to 14!
In other words, it was finally successfully produced after clinical trials of up to 3,000 people!
If there is such a sentence, the difference is huge.
Many people may not quite understand what this 3,000-person-level clinical trial represents. Let me put it this way, in modern society, any invention of a new drug must go through such a clinical trial of thousands of people.
This level of clinical trial is also the last step in whether new drugs can be launched.
So, how much does the experiment cost at this stage?
There is no very accurate number, but there is an approximate average of 200 million, or US dollars!
Of course, it is definitely much less expensive to study the little boy's meridians in order to make the bronze man. Perhaps it is possible that a penny would be free without spending at the emperor's order.
But not spending money does not mean there is no cost. Different ages and less spending is not a reason for the low value of things. Li Yi estimated that if all these are converted to this point, he would have to get 20 to 30 million US dollars.
Although some other results will be studied in this process and diluted the cost, according to the algorithms of modern accounting, the cost of converting it to the copper head must account for at least two-thirds!
If other factors are added, how much is this little bronze man worth? You should know that the influence of these factors between them is definitely not simply accumulative, it must be in geometric series!
Li Yi very much hoped that Fronsova did not see the sentence in the introduction, or saw it, but did not understand the meaning it represented.
But this is obviously impossible, because a treasure of this level, let alone a sentence, even a word or a word will be found and studied repeatedly, and I even wish I could write several academic papers!
Of course, this is something that domestic historians like to do, but even if it is not considered academic research, the meaning of this sentence is very clear!
Now it's Li Yi's turn to have a headache. If you really count it like this, this little bronze man costs at least $40 million! In other words, his "Water Lily" may not be enough to watch! (To be continued.)
