Chapter 724: Chapter 450: When Did Trading of National Treasures and Antiques Become Like Setting Up a Street Stall?_3

"I think this price is very reasonable!" Mr. Pelos slowly nodded, Sean Knight didn’t understand, and he understood even less.

He couldn’t even see what was good about the painting the other party had made. The figures were unclear, and the landscape was also unclear. How could a painting like this be preserved?

Well, Sean Knight continued to smirk secretly.

"...This is...a Buddha statue. Wooden Buddha statue, a bit small, five hundred US dollars." Sean Knight thought for a moment and said.

Pelos reached out, and Sean Knight shook his head, and Elijah Hastings paid.

Sean Knight was already overjoyed in his heart!

The Buddha statue was made of eaglewood!

Not eaglewood, but eaglewood!

This is at least several hundred years old!

Although it doesn’t look much different from ordinary wood, because of the patina, the smell is not very obvious, but Sean Knight recognized it at a glance!

Eaglewood!

This was a huge oversight!

"This is...a bronze gilded Buddha statue, 1,500 dollars." Sean Knight said expressionlessly.

After seeing so many, he couldn’t give a high price anymore.

He felt like he was at the market now, waiting for the vegetable farmers to deliver the vegetables.

At first, he was excited to see purely natural, organic, and pollution-free things, then he got even more excited to see wild fish from the pollution-free reservoir, and even more excited to see small fish that couldn’t grow big but were unusually delicious from the little brook...

However, after continuously collecting such things for more than an hour, he became numb.

He couldn’t get excited anymore!

Even if he was excited, there had to be an end, right?

That was until Sean Knight saw a separate box being carried over.

Opening the box, he was startled when he saw the contents!

Yuan Blue and White porcelain!

There were only a few hundred of these in the world!

There were two in this box alone!

They were almost identical pairs!

Yuan Dynasty Blue and White Phoenix-head Flask!

Yuan Dynasty Blue and White Luan-head Flask!

There was only one pair of these in the world, right?

After becoming a treasure hunter, Sean Knight had gotten to know some of these domestic items.

Yuan blue and white porcelain, which instantly pushed the auction price of Chinese porcelain to its peak, was naturally something he had to know about.

Then he learned about such a pair of artifacts.

One phoenix and one luan, this was clearly a pair.

As everyone knows, ordinary people couldn’t use such a thing. After all, dragons and phoenixes were like the yellow clothing of ancient times. Ordinary people would be executed for using them.

After all, in ancient China, or rather, the whole world in ancient times, there was a clear hierarchy. Ordinary people using things they shouldn’t use were considered to be overreaching.

Ritual wasn’t just about politeness, but also about rules.

Getting off track now, but back to the story: in ancient China, there was such a pair of flasks, but with a strange twist.

This Luan-head flask was unearthed from a Yuan Dynasty residence in Yanping city, but at the time it was unearthed, it was 48 pieces, and then restored by experts.

And that phoenix head flask was excavated from Yili Huocheng County in Xinjiang.

These were thousands of kilometers apart from east to west.

However, the patterns on the flasks were the same!

This was clearly a pair!

But how could one be in Yuan Dadu and the other in the Western Region?

No one could explain the story behind it.

As for this, Sean Knight had made various guesses, perhaps it was a gift or maybe it was a separation of loved ones.

It is unknown.

Because there was such a coincidence, Sean Knight remembered these two items, as many Yuan blue and white porcelain pieces are unique, so they weren’t very special.

Now there is a pair, one in the east and one in the west, which is special!

And what was placed in front of Sean Knight was an identical, additional pair!

And they were a very complete pair!

At this point, Sean Knight was completely numb!

During Sean Knight’s daze, Mr. Pelos suddenly noticed him.

Sean Knight reacted quickly and praised:

"Beautiful porcelain! I’ll give 100,000 dollars for this pair!"

Currently, the highest price at the site!

Pelos was satisfied right away.

Still, that same sentence: he couldn’t appreciate its beauty and charm.

Since Sean Knight gave a high price, he would sell it!

This surprise made Sean Knight’s previously numb expression lively again.

His expression made Elijah Hastings understand that this thing was not ordinary precious, so he carefully collected it.

Sean Knight looked forward to seeing if there could be similar surprises again.

"One white jade belt hook, five thousand US dollars." Sean Knight looked at the belt hook in front of him and gave an estimate.

This time Mr. Pelos didn’t even ask.

Although the price of this piece was much lower than that of the jade kneeling figure, Pelos felt that since Sean Knight had given this price, there must be a reason for it.

There’s no damn reason!

Sean Knight just didn’t want to give a higher price anymore!

"... An antique painting, one thousand US dollars." Sean Knight spoke again.

As long as it was a painting, whether by Tang Yin or Zhu Zishan, it was worth a thousand US dollars!

"Multi-colored porcelain pot, fifteen thousand US dollars." Sean Knight continued to quote.

...

Finally, Sean Knight’s three boxes of money were handed over to Pelos, and the contents of the truck were emptied.

The sun was about to set.

Pelos looked at the three boxes of US dollars and said to Sean Knight contentedly:

"Mr. Knight, this transaction was very satisfactory! I look forward to our next transaction. If there are more similar items, I will notify you first!"

Sean Knight thought, could you have another chance?

However, he naturally hoped for more such goods, so he couldn’t help but remind:

"Mr. Pelos, I look forward to it too. So, I hope you pay attention to safety.

I won’t ask about the origin of these things, but I think there will definitely be other people watching them..."

"Don’t worry, Mr. Knight, our mouths are tight." Pelos misunderstood Sean Knight’s meaning.

"No, no, no," Sean Knight waved his hand, "I’m not afraid here. What I mean is, you’d better have a proper hiding place, otherwise, I think it won’t be long before someone finds you..."

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Knight." Pelos had his subordinates take the three suitcases and get on the truck.

After Pelos left, Sean Knight said to Elijah Hastings and the other two:

"You guys stay at the entrance."

He went into the warehouse alone.

These things absolutely cannot be placed here!

It’s not an exaggeration to call it a ticking time bomb!

When Sean Knight came out, he immediately ordered Elijah Hastings:

"Tell Jason to bring two big trucks over!"

Before nightfall, Jason and the others had already brought the big trucks over.

"Boss! Any instructions?" Seeing Sean Knight, Jason was more than excited, but Sean Knight didn’t have time to chat with him now, pointing at the warehouse and saying:

"Move the goods inside to the truck! Take it to your place, find a container to put it in, and lock it up!"

Jason knew it was urgent and got busy right away.

At midnight, there was a fierce knock on the door of the villa!

Then, without waiting for Sean Knight and the others to react, the people outside broke in!
