Chapter 68 Xuanwu (2)

Zhang Can’s request was so strange that it made everyone confused and strange. What should I do?

Besides, this group of people is all big men and basically rich people. Who can get needles? And even if there are, it will be thrown at home. Who will bring it to this scene?

"No……"

"without……"

"No needle!"

Zhang Can was a little embarrassed, looked around and frowned and said to Wang Qian: "Mr. Wang, there is no needle, it is really hard to tell the strangeness of the copper turtle..."

Wang Qian immediately turned his head to the bodyguard behind him and said, "Xiao Zheng, go out and buy needles immediately, go and go back quickly!"

Bodyguard Xiao Zheng responded and was about to go out. A man guarding the door stood by the door and said, "Boss, can I have a brooch?" As he said that, he took a small badge sign from his chest. The badge was a working card, just like the badge sign worn by employees working in supermarkets. A copper needle was connected to the badge. The head was very sharp and was used to wear it on the clothes on the chest.

Zhang Canxi said: "Okay, okay, that's all!"

The bodyguard Xiao Zheng quickly took it over and gave it to Zhang Can.

Zhang Can took the badge, then straightened the copper needle on the back of the badge, made the tip look outside, and then picked up the copper turtle placed on the table in front of him, then looked at everyone and said, "You are sure that the secret of this copper turtle is actually in its mouth. Because its mouth is closed, there is only a slit, so you can't see it just by looking at it."

Everyone thought Zhang Can was talking strangely, and they couldn't help but stretched their heads and stared at him tightly. The people around Zhang Can, Tang Yuan, Wang Qian, Zhu Senlin, Lao Su, etc., also opened their eyes wide.

Zhang Can stretched the tip of the breastplate into the turtle's mouth, took a look at it, and then stabbed it hard with the needle. With a slight "click", the copper turtle was in the eyes of everyone, and its head, feet and tail stretched out from the turtle shell and shook it.

Zhang Can put the copper turtle on the table, and the turtle slowly crawled on the table. The turtle's mouth was open, and the tongue in the turtle's mouth could be seen stretching and shrinking.

This strange scene suddenly shocked everyone!

It is not surprising that this turtle has mechanisms that can move its limbs and heads and tails. Today's technology can easily do it, but this thing has been tested by the appraisers present, confirming that it is an antique from thousands of years ago, and the strange place is here. If it is something from thousands of years ago, how can this automatic mechanism be made?

There are only two results. One is that all of them misjudged their eyes. This is just a fake of modern things, a toy of modern technology, and they all misjudged them.

The second result is that it can only be true. They paid 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in front. If it is a modern toy product, it is not worth three or four hundred yuan, but Zhang Can should not be a fool, right? If he was not a fool, how could he buy it for one million? Besides, after buying it for one million, how can he explain the action of unlocking the secret of the turtle now? Could it be that he slapped himself in the face?

When Zhang Can saw everyone staring at him in surprise, smiled faintly, took the turtle into his hand, then stretched out two fingers to the wide open turtle's mouth and pushed its tongue. The turtle immediately stopped moving, then closed its mouth, and everything returned to its original state.

Zhang Can smiled and said, "I think everyone must be very strange. Since this thing has mechanisms, how could it be an antique? Haha, let me tell you a little story first. I wonder if you have heard that in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Mang instructed Yizhou to offer auspicious things in the name of "Yue Shang Family" to be auspicious, and wrote a letter to the emperor to commend Kong Guang, Wang Shun and others. In fact, he wanted to accept the position of "An Han Gong". In order to make the emperor and the queen mother believe, he privately invited a famous craftsman to cast four auspicious things such as the Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise. It is said that these four auspicious beasts were presented to the Golden Palace, and the Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise. The Vermillion Bird flew, the Black Tortoise climbed, the Green Dragon and the White Tiger, which surprised the emperors and ministers in the Golden Palace..."

Before Zhang Can finished speaking, Tang Yuan interrupted his words with a trembling voice: "You...wait, what you said is... you said this copper turtle is 'Wang Han Xuanwu Turtle'?"

"I don't know what its exact name is, but I see that its shape and style are very similar to the Xuanwu Turtle recorded in Guzhi Qizhen that I saw in an old book. As for whether it is true, I'm not sure. Haha, everyone has their own opinions." Zhang Can smiled and answered lightly, but looking at his expression, how could it look like "not sure"?

Tang Yuan's face changed unpredictable. He took the copper turtle over and observed it carefully. He then stabbed the copper turtle's tongue with the copper needle borrowed by Zhang Can, making the copper turtle move, and checked the internal situation of the copper turtle. The mechanism was very clever.

Tang Yuan himself is an antique appraisal master with extremely skillful eyes. After passing by his eyes, he basically didn't miss it, but this copper turtle made him misunderstood!

Tang Yuan knew very well the origin of this thing. It was a long line of his work. It was obtained from an ancient tomb. This thing would never be fake. Even if it was fake, it would not be hidden from his eyes. Now that he pointed it out to Zhang Can, he could tell at a glance that Zhang Can could not do anything, and Zhang Can could not have touched him before, so he was a little sure in his heart that this was the thing he had just thought of!

Perhaps most people don’t know the allusion and legend that Zhang Can just said. What they heard might be just an illusory story, and they would never take it seriously. But he understood that this story was true, but two other things were lost, and only one was revealed, that is the blue dragon, which was a dragon-shaped animal made of bronze. In fact, it was the appearance of a snake. Tang Yuan himself had never seen it, but his grandfather had seen that treasure was brought back to the UK by a leader of the British army who invaded China. Since then, it has been reported that Tang Yuan is a antique dealer chasing rare treasures. The more rare the thing is, the clearer it is, the clearer it remembers it. However, he also doubts whether there is really that kind of thing in this world.

But Tang Yuan has an ancient treasure book, which contains records of the Four Symbols of Wang and Han. It records that Wang Mang spent a lot of money to hire a famous craftsman named "Ghost Star" to create these Four Symbols. If it is really the Xuanwu turtle among the Four Symbols of Wang and Han, even if there is no one, it will be a priceless thing!

Because this thing came from Tang Yuan’s own hands, he was even more sure of the authenticity of this thing. Zhang Can could say it, that was that he saw through the secret of the copper turtle, which meant that he also knew the value of this thing. Tang Yuan regretted it for a moment and his intestines were blue!

Most of the people present did not know this allusion, but Tang Yuan is the best antique dealer in Jincheng. If he could be sure, it would be true.

Old Suzhi frowned. He thought Zhang Can was going to suffer a loss, but now it seems that he made another profit? The more he really thought about it, the more it would be against you!

Only Zhu Senlin and Wang Qian didn't realize anything. They trusted Zhang Can and did not know the true value of this copper turtle. Zhu Senlin didn't know at all, so he was not anxious or surprised. No matter what it was, he could earn one or two million.

Wang Qian also knew it. Zhang Can mentioned it to him, saying it was worth about 20 million yuan, but Zhang Can had never really experienced such a high-value antique business activity, nor did he have such a transaction, so he just estimated and guessed the value of the copper turtle based on the high-value things he had obtained before.

Tang Yuan stood on the spot, his face was red and purple, and his hands were trembling. After a long time, he looked at Wang Qian and Zhang Can and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, Brother Xiao Zhang, is this bronze turtle now owned by Brother Wang or Brother Xiao Zhang?"

Zhang Can smiled and said lightly, "The ownership of this turtle is Lao Zhu, I, and Brother Xiao Zhang, but the right to dispose is in the hands of Brother Xiao Zhang. He can do whatever he wants. Even if he gives it to others, it's OK. We have no objection, haha... right, Old Zhu?"

Wang Qian said, then turned his head and asked Zhu Senlin with a smile.

"Of course, of course, he can handle it as much as he wants!" Zhu Senlin was stunned for a moment and quickly answered. He had never said that this bronze turtle had his share before. Wang Qian said this clearly that he also had his share. He was happy, of course he had to follow Wang Qian's words, so Zhang Can handle it whatever he wanted.

Of course, Zhu Senlin didn't know that in order to set up a trap, Zhang Can told Wang Qian that he would share this copper turtle, so Wang Qian naturally would not object. Zhang Can's meaning is important, and this little money is a small meaning, and making friends with Zhang Can is the most important thing.

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Can and asked, "Xiao Zhang, then tell me, can you transfer this copper turtle to me again? Price... Price, you can say a price..."

After Tang Yuan said this, he immediately stunned everyone present. He sold antiques and asked him to buy them back on the spot. They had never seen such a thing before. Wouldn't it be that he would embarrass himself? Otherwise, it would mean that Tang Yuan himself was also out of his mind!

If Tang Yuan was wrong, it means that all of them were wrong, because the copper turtle was carefully examined by their hands.

Furthermore, their mistakes mean that Zhang Can has found a bargain!

Tang Yuan himself said he wanted to buy it again, but when Zhang Can bought it, he suddenly increased the price and spent one million to buy it back. If he wanted to sell it back to Tang Yuan, he would have to make at least four or five times the profit, right?

Of course, they all underestimated the value of the copper turtle. Tang Yuan at least had a guide to how much the thing is worth. To be honest, for him, such objects, they were priceless treasures and could not be measured by money.

Zhu Senlin and Wang Qian were both veterans in business. As soon as they saw Tang Yuan's expression and tone, they immediately knew that they could kill him with this copper turtle. Zhu Senlin didn't know the value of the copper turtle, but he could do business, so he thought that he could kill Tang Yuan at least ten times the price, but Wang Qian smiled. He thought that Zhang Can was probably not less than 20 million, because Zhang Can told him the value of the copper turtle.

Zhang Can smiled and his expression relaxed. At this time, he had to perform well in front of Lao Su, touched his chin, and said calmly: "This price, of course, it cannot be calculated based on the price I bought. I think Boss Tang also understands it. If Mr. Wang takes this thing back and then runs it for sale, what level will the price reach? I think Boss Tang should be the one who knows the most, right?"

Wang Qian and Zhu Senlin both cheered secretly in their hearts, Zhang Can is really smart!

He didn't know how much the price was, nor did he bid, but he said that Wang Qian would take it back for sale. I believe that Tang Yuan and others knew the most. If they sold it as Wang Qian, the price would naturally reach the extreme.
