Chapter 86 – Shipment – Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

“Don’t sleep, don’t sleep!”

“Yunfeng wake up, get up and work!” I slept late last night, and in the morning I was woken up by Boss Sun’s voice shouting at me.

Seeing his face full of joy, I guessed it would be our van released from the dock.

I asked and it was true, the minivan had just arrived downstairs at the bed and breakfast inn and the boss was greeting me as I got up to unload the truck.

Opening the back door of the van and removing the seafood that had been used as a blindfold, the innermost part revealed two large wooden crates. The nails we sealed on the crates were still intact.

The owner of the B&B is a big sister in her fifties, because she often receives mainland tourists, this big sister can speak Mandarin quite well. When she saw us unloading the goods, she thought we were buying some furniture, and she was very enthusiastic and yelled to come and help.

Put the head said do not bother you, we come on our own, will not scratch your wooden floor. Only then did the older sister snapped and left.

Move the two large wooden crates to the headman’s room.

Shut the doors, lock the windows, turn the volume on the TV in the house to the max, and then we started clanking the wooden crates open with hammers.

The few of us were relieved to open the box and see the contents.

Those copper goods were neatly yards, bubble wrap and newspaper were there, not a thing was missing.

This batch of goods have a cup, trousseau, zun, tripod, beans, harvest, dendrobium, small carriages and horses, etc., can be said to be rich in variety. The most critical is the three pieces of bronze with ancient Yue worship totem, I still don’t know the exact name of this thing, not only me, even the knowledgeable head and Yao Wenzhong don’t know, they said the first time to see this kind of pattern, we from the auction albums and excavation of bronze records did not find.

Although these three things can’t be called by their scientific names, it doesn’t prevent these three things from being worth money, and it’s possible that they are all unique and isolated. Just like the gold masks of the ancient Shu Sanxingdui civilization, the things here in ancient Vietnam.

In the afternoon, the head notified three Morro Street brokers to come to the hotel to look at the goods, all three are locals, speaking a mouthful of Hong Kong dialect, while they looked at the goods, from time to time exclaimed: “Monkey Sai Lei, Monkey Sai Lei.” (Good for you.)

They look at the goods while taking pictures with their cameras and sending them to their bosses to look at.

These people are mainly for the commission, they keep bragging to their bosses about how good our batch of goods is, and they all hope that their gold masters can take it, so that they can get a high commission afterward.

They asked the head of the handle there is no psychological price, the minimum how much money to sell, so that they and the boss offer, if the boss think the price can be negotiated, will personally visit the door to see the goods to sign a contract.

The head of the handle purposely said the words very hard: “Together, not single out, five hundred upwards, less is not negotiable.”

“Five hundred …..” Several brokers sucked in a breath, this was a large sum of money. Buying a piece of Qianlong official kiln porcelain was only more than a hundred thousand dollars, and the price of this lot was equivalent to fifty pieces of official kiln porcelain combined.

That’s when one of the fixers went out with a flip phone to take a call.

It wasn’t long before he came running in hurriedly holding up the phone.

“Fixed to pull, my boss is interested in spreading.”

So fast …… I down a jump, a few million price, look at a MMS photo to pick up a phone call is fixed? Who is the buyer? So rich, Hong Kong’s richest man this is.

The head of the handle is also a bit surprised, he quoted 500 price thought it would be suppressed, look at the situation in front of him this is to report less?

This fixer says the big boss will be here in two hours, and as long as the stuff is as pictured, the price will definitely top out at 500 and up!

The head of the handle was happy, he instructed the boss to open a table and sat waiting for the big boss to come.

The other party was on time, the big boss’s car was a new black stretch Alfa. Upon arrival the driver opened the door and from the Alfa came down a gray-haired old man in his sixties.
