Warren pointed to one of the statues and said, "This is the statue of Eros Venus, you see here, what you see."
Jiang Hao and Garrison both looked down at the corner of the base, and there was a line of carved ancient Greek, Warren exclaimed: "This signature is Polyclitus, one of the most famous masters of sculpture in ancient Greece, the British Museum And the Athens Museum has several of his sculptures. "
"There are also two statues. This is the Statue of Victory. This is the Statue of Athena. All three sculptures are the works of Polycritus."
Warren continued: "You know, there is a statue of victory in the Louvre, but it is incomplete, without a head, only half a body and a wing. The Louvre has recently been awarded a million euros for a restoration design Picture, that is to say, if you come up with the perfect design and you don't need to repair it yourself, you can get a bonus of 1 million euros. "
"And this statue of Athena goddess, there are several statues of Athena goddess in various museums, but most of them are wearing armor and holding a spear to show the direction of war, but this one is wearing a wreath and a shirt. luǒlù This fragrant shoulder is in a very relaxed and relaxed state that has never been seen before, but Master Polititos has made Athena in this state so vivid. This is definitely a unique work. . "
"No, no, I'm wrong. All three sculptures are unique. They have high artistic value and are extremely well preserved. They have hardly been damaged for more than two thousand years. This is the most rare."
Jiang Hao is very pleased with the price of the works of famous masters, which are many times higher than those of anonymous works.
"Mr. Warren, can you make a valuation of these three statues?" Jiang Hao asked.
Warren immediately shook his head and said loudly: "Mr. Jon, they are real national treasures, their value is inestimable, the treasures of the Louvre's three main town halls, the broken arm Venus, the incomplete statue of victory , Mona Lisa. "
"Your Venus is a work of Polycritus, and its artistic value is definitely not lower than that of sculptor Alexandros'" Broken Arm Venus ". How much do you think she should be worth?"
"The statue of the goddess of victory, the Louvre is severely incomplete, you are complete, the author of the statue of the Louvre is difficult to verify, and yours is the work of Master Polycritus, its value is even more Above that statue of victory, how much do you think she should be worth? "
"And this statue of Athena is worth the same as the first two statues. How much do you think she should be?"
Speaking of this, Warren's face even showed a few sorrows, his eyes were red, and Shen said, "Mr. Jon, I really don't want them to be sent to the auction because it is blasphemy against them, and art is nothing. Valuable ... invaluable, you should save them well or rent them to museums for more people to enjoy these perfect art masterpieces. "
When Garrison next heard it, he froze, but immediately reacted. Warren, the old guy, was going crazy. Such a good business turned out, and he immediately winked at Thomas next to him.
Thomas immediately noticed and stepped forward to take Warren, "Warren, butler Steven has brewed black tea for us, let's have a drink."
At the moment Warren also realized that he had just lost his state, took a deep breath, smiled at Jiang Hao, and turned out.
Garrison looked at Jiang Hao nervously, for he was afraid he would change his mind. If this big business was yellow, he would probably be sad for a few years.
Looking at Garrison, who was a little nervous, Jiang Hao smiled. "Rest assured, these are already determined to be auctioned, but Garrison, do more publicity. You just heard the words of Warren's appraiser. They are truly priceless. , So there should be a price that matches them, you say. "
"Of course, I and your wishes are exactly the same." Garrison said with a smile.
The auction house sent several cars to pack the statues in the safest way, and 20 armed escorts escorted the antiques and statues to the auction house.
Then,
The auction house organized another large-scale appraisal. This time, it was not only the auction house's own appraisers, but also invited several well-known appraisers and archaeological experts in the society to make a huge impact. Finally, these experts reached a conclusion. And Warren, Thomas and their identification results are the same.
The next day,
The auction house held a press conference. Garrison was seated on the main seat, and several well-known experts were seated next to it. Below the stage were more than thirty media invited.
"Reporters, Jiang Hao recently exhibited a number of treasures of the ancient Greek Alexander the Great, including 15 gold vessels and three classical marble statues. All 15 gold vessels were from Alexander the Great. Palace supplies, exquisitely shaped, inlaid with precious stones, are absolutely rare real artworks, and the three statues are national treasure-level cultural relics, all from the hand of Polititos, one of the three great carving masters of ancient Greece. , Art value and collection value are extremely high, now look at the big screen. "
On the LCD screens on both sides, flashes of fine art photos began to flash.
Garrison said with a smile: "Tomorrow, these artworks will be displayed in the Charlotte Auction House's pavilion for 2 months, and the artworks will be auctioned publicly after 2 months."
As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused great interest of those big collectors and major museums in various countries. In the West, oil painting and sculpture are the most mainstream artworks. Two of the treasures of the Louvre Museum are sculptures. If other museums have a collection, they can definitely be used as their treasures.
After the exhibition began, countless collectors and museum managers came to inspect and watch, and then went back to study how to take these precious works of art.
The auction was handed over to Garrison, but Jiang Hao took a break and continued to live the leisure life of his college teacher.
Once a weekly occult course, Jiang Hao went into the large classroom with a folder. To his surprise, Jiang Hao had more students today than the last time.
Jiang Hao's teaching work was not interrupted except for taking leave during the adventure. At the beginning, his course only had more than 30 elective students. However, Jiang Hao's teaching was very unique. The mysterious things were the most attractive, and later attracted some. When the students came to listen to the class, they saw the increase, so the number increased all the way.
The number has increased from 30 to 40 and 50, and the last class has reached 80. Jiang Hao glanced today and found that there were more students than the last class, about 100 people.
Putting the lecture notes on the desk, Jiang Hao said with a smile: "It seems that there are a lot more people today. It seems my class is getting more and more popular. I am very happy. Today I am going to talk about the mystery of the East. Learn one of these little branches, fortune telling. "
"I want to ask, how much do you know about fortune telling, you can list one or two." Jiang Hao asked.
Suddenly a student said:
"Tarot."
"constellation."
"Astrology."
"Prophecy."
At this time Miranda stood up and said, "Teacher, I know there are Zhouyi, facial expressions, palmistries, palms, touch bones, time-character reckoning, zodiac fortune-telling, lottery, etc. in the East."
Jiang Hao was surprised, and asked Miranda, "It's rare that you know so much about Oriental fortune telling."
Miranda smiled and looked at Jiang Hao's eyes very bright. "Teacher, I have been studying mystics very hard recently, and read a lot of books, especially the knowledge of Eastern mystics. The knowledge of Eastern mystics is really great. Alas, I only know a little bit. "
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded, "It's hard to come by."
Miranda smiled sweetly and sat back again.
Jiang Hao returned to the center of the podium and said, "You're right, the western tarot cards, constellations, astrology, and prophecy, the United Kingdom also has tea residue fortune-telling, salt divination, and even water rat divination, right?"
Many students below laughed softly.
"Oriental fortune telling is also very complicated, but most of them come from Zhou Yi, and can be divided into face, palm, palm, time, eight-character reckoning, money hexagrams, zodiac fortune telling, plum blossom counting, lottery and so on."
"So what is fortune telling? If a definition is given, I think it should be some way to speculate the fate of life."
"Fortune-telling is available in both East and West, but it is very different, but the essence is the same, that is to calculate destiny. Today we will talk about Oriental fortune-telling first."
"How many fortune-telling methods does the East have?"
Jiang Hao spread his hands, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and said, "Too much. There are countless species in China alone, and there are no fewer than dozens of species I know. There are many branches and branches. It's a place that's unknown. "
"Just like the tarot card ~ www.novelhall.com ~, there are many algorithms, such as six-horse star divination, Holy Triangle divination, diamond divination and so on."
Speaking of this, Jiang Hao smiled and said, "If I just dictate on the podium, you may have a hard time understanding or remembering, and maybe letting you experience it for yourself will have a deeper impact, so I want to ask, yes No one came to the stage to experiment with various methods of fortune telling. "
Interactive teaching is arguably the most attractive part of Jiang Hao ’s occult science. Starting from the three experiments he made in the first lesson, there is an experience link in almost every teaching. Most students are experienced in this way. The teaching method attracts more and more people to come to the lecture.
After Jiang Hao just finished speaking, many people suddenly raised their hands. The highest one was Miranda. This girl not only raised her hands high, but also raised her chest tall.
Jiang Hao swept over the students with a smile. His eyes stopped intentionally or inadvertently in the last row of the teacher's position. There was a middle-aged white man sitting in that position, looking at Jiang Hao with interest. The two briefly looked at each other. The other side also smiled at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao has already recognized this middle-aged man.
Constantine.
