LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

golden tower not necessarily is Huaxia, India, Thailand and other places also many golden tower, but Han Xuan the pagoda of this upturned eave beast, definitely wanders about destitute at present from Huaxia without doubt. 金塔不一定是华夏的,印度、泰国等地也有许多金塔,但韩宣眼前这种飞檐走兽的宝塔,肯定是从华夏流落出来的无疑。 Walked a moment ago, he saw the innumerable Huaxia antiques, only if were some sells the specific type goods specially the shop, otherwise the quantity of Huaxia antique, can account for these shop cargo total generally over 30%, obviously some actually many. 刚才一路走来,他见到无数华夏古董,除非是些专门出售特定种类物品的店铺,不然华夏古董的数量,一般能占到那些店铺货物总数百分之三十以上,可见究竟有多少。 The time recalls upward for dozens years to more than 100 years, at that time the European colonizers were a ship ship toward country internal bracing these things, not necessarily for money, the good thing that because knew except for chinaware, bronzeware and other Europeans initially, other goods unable to sell how much money, probably when was only plundering the belt/bring came back to work as the commemorative the small thing. 时间往上回溯几十年到一百多年,那时欧洲殖民者都是一船船地往国内拉这些东西,未必是为了钱,因为当初除了瓷器、青铜器等欧洲人知道的好东西,其他物品根本卖不出多少钱,大概只是掠夺之余带回来当纪念的小玩意。 The European history is short, the thing several hundred and over a thousand years of history, naturally find it on first hearing interesting, for example the Chinese sees for more than 4000 years ago the Egypt old thing, will feel novel probably, does not spend in any case, after breaking open the Qing entrance , the thing takes casually, not when they will be the burdens. 欧洲人历史短,乍一听东西有好几百、上千年历史,自然是觉得有趣的,就比如华人见到四千多年前埃及的老东西,大概也会觉得新奇,反正不花钱,砸开清朝国门后东西随便拿,不会当它们是累赘。 Takes conveniently is making a souvenir, everyone takes many, this thinks that the good and evil can selling point money, the discovery were too afterward many, no one wants, to put not necessarily attached great importance to at home, using temporarily as is ornaments, in this period took care improper, spoiled is thrown much and also much, more antiques have spread today. 随手拿着做个纪念品,大家拿得都多,本以为好歹能卖点钱,后来却发现太多了,根本没人要,放在家里不一定受到重视,权当是个摆设,期间保管不当,弄坏不少、也被扔了不少,更多的古董一直流传到今天。 The most that the soldiers attain is some not valuable things, the good thing to be few, at that time also had the traitor to China, the dog-leg helps be the staff officer, plunders the government authorities wealthy and powerful family, the imperial palace and temporary palace are the key plundering object, the value high point antique, was taken away by the military officers and aristocrats initially. 小兵拿到的多半是些不值钱的东西,好东西很少,那时候也有汉奸,狗腿地帮忙当参谋,搜刮官府大户,皇宫、行宫是重点掠夺对象,价值高一点的古董,都被当初将领、贵族们拿去了。 British military officer Seymour and German Admiral Wadexi and the others, these then UN command, each brought several steamships, even more than ten ships souvenir goes back. 英国将领西摩尔和德国海军上将瓦德西等人,这些当时的联军统帅,每个都带了几大船、甚至十几船的“纪念品”回去。 More precious antique treasure, was offered to the imperial family, making the imperial family happy, traded title anything. 更珍贵的古董奇珍,则被敬献给皇室,让皇室高兴了,换个爵位什么的。 Now the European established family, in the boxroom more or less almost hides is selecting the Huaxia antique, many can achieve several thousand, if there is a guest to visit, they consider the evidence of ancestor magnificent experience. 如今欧洲老牌家族,收藏室里或多或少几乎都藏着点华夏古董,多的能达到数千件,假如有客人参观,它们就当是自家祖先辉煌经历的见证物。 Previous Han Xuan must look for beast head, Rothschild family found one from own treasure house, that is only one of the innumerable collections, cannot be regarded preciously, pondering to think that only delivers it to lose face too, therefore also built the seal of Qianlong. 上次韩宣要找兽首,罗斯柴尔德家族就从自家宝库里找到一件,那只是无数收藏之一,算不得珍贵,左思右想觉得只送它太丢人,于是还搭了个乾隆的印章。 The antique antique, naturally the older the better, has the specialist to look, did not fear badly, regularly waited for being short of money time, lost to Sotheby's, Christie's and other auction rooms, helped deliver to Hong Kong or Japan sells out, when discovered that more bought a more valuable time, pouring was really pleasantly surprised. 古董古董,自然是越老越好,有专人照顾,不怕坏了,隔三差五等缺钱时候,丢给苏富比、佳士得等拍卖行,帮忙送到香江或者日本卖掉,当发现越买越值钱时候,倒真是惊喜了。 After the mobile Huaxia antique were many, the market also appears, produces some Huaxia antique collectors in Europe, person who regarding this has the research are many, knows to be valuable. 当流动的华夏古董多了之后,市场随之出现,在欧洲产生一些华夏古董收藏家,对此有研究的人不少,知道值不值钱。 Previously Han Xuan met some good things, but the price was similar to the market rate, that wanted a taking advantage of a mistake chart happy wishful thinking, was shattered. 先前韩宣遇到些挺不错的物件,可价格跟行价差不多,那点想要捡漏图个开心的小心思,随之就破灭了。 The antique quantity are not small, but in which high-quality goods are not truly many, generally the thing is very difficult to arouse the Han Xuan interest, therefore after choosing the good gift, only looks by the present does not buy. 古董数量不算少,但其中的精品确实不多,一般物件已经很难引起韩宣兴趣,所以挑选好礼物后,到现在只看不买。 Now although Huaxia also had the surrounding countries to dread by the West, but is actually not the powerful nation, the antique price naturally cannot come up, is the prosperous times, the Chinese is also getting more and more rich, bids up the antique price, matter that has been able to affirm. 如今华夏虽然被西方还有周边国家忌惮着,可是却算不上强国,古董价格自然也上不去,接下来都是盛世,华人也越来越有钱,将古董价格炒上去,已经是能肯定的事情。 Before considered is only buying the antique in Huaxia, forgot the European country also to have Japan also to have, must as soon as possible to go to these places to buy the thing.” “以前只顾着在华夏买古董,忘了欧洲国家还有日本也有许多,得尽快让人去这些地方买好东西。” Han Xuan shoves open the store glass door time to think, he makes money extremely numerous actually still very poor reason, has to buy wantonly antique part, these that purchases not only then the Huaxia antique, the good things of other countries also to buy. 韩宣推开商店玻璃门时候心想,他赚钱极多却依然很穷的原因当中,就有花钱大肆买古董这部分,购买到的那些不仅只有华夏古董,其他国家的好东西也买。 Since the arranged person has done this matter, from all sides has spent over 1 billion US dollars probably, because the old gentleman and grandfather also receive in the help, therefore the actual amount is not quite good to count. 自从安排人去做这件事以来,前前后后大概已经砸进去十亿美元以上,由于老爷子和外公也在帮忙收,所以具体数目不太好统计。 Reason that does this, actually not for anything nationality is proud, initially these foreigners invaded Huaxia, the 10 cents have not spent to carry off the thing, the people actually must spend the sky-high price money, buys again them, gives the euphemistic name returns to motherland, 这样做的原因,倒不是为了什么“民族骄傲”,当初那些外国人侵略华夏,一毛钱没花把东西带走,国人却要花天价的钱,再把它们买回来,美其名曰“回归祖国”, This kind patriotically appears is a little silly and is a little also stupid, does not want. Obvious by foreigner with patriotic, when the pretence tricks, who knows that the help boasted holds high this moment the reporter of approach, receives the petty profit that the foreigner gives, making more patriotic rich people give money to spend to the foreigner, likes these things should buy truly, wanders destitute far from home also well, considered to disseminate the Chinese culture. 此类爱国显得有点傻、也有点蠢,不要也罢。明摆着是被外国人用“爱国”当幌子忽悠,谁知道帮忙吹嘘捧高此刻做法的记者,有没有收外国人给的蝇头小利,让更多爱国富人给外国人送钱花,真正喜欢那些东西才应该买,流落他乡也好,就当是传播中华文化了。 Reason that Han Xuan collects these antiques, on the one hand receives liking that personally the family member gradually influences on produce, on the other hand also maintains the value in the investment, the angle at merchant does this matter. 韩宣搜集这些古董的原因,一方面是受到家人熏陶而产生的个人爱好,另一方面也是在投资保值,处在商人的角度做这件事。 Thing that now 20,000-30,000 US dollars can take, more than ten and 20 years later, possibly sells over a hundred times of prices, making the return of general business is much higher, even if not sell, places the museum display to receive the admission ticket good still...... 现在20,000-30,000美元就能拿到手的东西,十几、二十年后,可能卖出上百倍的价格,比做一般生意的回报率高得多,即使不卖,放在博物馆展览收门票也挺不错…… Anya they, follow in Han Xuan behind, enters this home to sell the Asian antique specially the store. 安雅他们,跟在韩宣身后,进入这家专门卖亚洲古董的商店。 Pleasant mostly is the Huaxia thing, the boss is the forehead hair scarce and white-haired big nose old man, is wearing presbyopic glasses, cleans up the Japanese ugly face warrior armor in cabinet, the blood red mask appearance is fierce, seeming like somewhat is really scary. 入眼大多是华夏物件,老板是位前额毛发稀少、满头白发的大鼻子老头,正戴着一副老花镜,清理橱柜中的日本鬼脸武士盔甲,血红色的面具面目狰狞,看起来着实有些吓人。 Hears the bell sound, the old man looks to the entrance, waits to see clearly the Han Xuan facial features, showed the smile saying: „ Welcome visits, no wonder my today's divination time, saw that will have the celebration to happen, originally was the big business visits. 听见铃铛声,老头看向门口,等看清韩宣面容,露出笑容开口说:“欢迎光临,难怪我今天占卜时候,看出会有喜事发生,原来是大生意上门了。 Han, hello, can come the cup coffee? Coffee that I just made...... ” 韩,你们好,要来杯咖啡吗?我刚煮的咖啡……” Thanks, I do not use. “谢谢,我不用了。 In the afternoon drinks the coffee, in the evening will unable to fall asleep, particularly the black coffee, has drunk the later headache. ” 下午喝咖啡,晚上会睡不着,尤其是黑咖啡,喝过之后脑袋疼。” Han Xuan shakes the head with a smile, declining him to say. 韩宣笑着摇摇头,拒绝他说道。 Guessed correctly that front this old man, absolutely is the Greek or the Turk, only then they like after every day drinks up the coffee, very much bored with the coffee grounds divination today transports/fortunes the potential. 猜到面前这位老头,绝对是希腊人或者土耳其人,只有他们喜欢在每天喝完咖啡之后,很无聊地用咖啡渣占卜今天运势。 From this is also born a joke: In the cafe that in the Greek or the Turk open drinks the coffee, do not drink up the coffee grounds, because they must remain are being used to practice divination...... 由此还诞生出一句笑话:在希腊人或者土耳其人开的咖啡馆里喝咖啡,千万不要把咖啡渣也喝掉,因为他们还要留着用来占卜…… Isabeli worried frequently oneself cannot sleep, where can be more stimulated, rejected the good intention of opposite party, Anya pure does not like the pure coffee the flavor, if caramel Ma its also has Mocha wait/etc, she will drink to taste occasionally. 伊莎贝莉经常愁自己睡不着觉,哪能更加亢奋,也拒绝了对方的好意,安雅则是单纯不喜欢纯咖啡的味道,如果是焦糖玛其朵还有摩卡等等,她偶尔会喝尝尝。 Secretary Dawson does not look on as an outsider, said after to me one cup, oneself helped himself but actually, then say that to the old man the flavor was very good. 道森秘书不见外,说完给我一杯后,自己帮自己倒,接着对老头说味道很棒。 Han Xuan waits and sees around this Quinta Grande, the thing looks very old, preserves very well, altogether seven, each porch eight rakes, under the outstanding eave are also hanging the golden small bell, will provoke the time to make a sound with the hand, works fine. 韩宣绕着这座大金塔观望,东西看起来挺老,保存得很不错,总共有七层,每层廊檐八个翘角,翘檐下方还挂着个黄金小铃铛,用手拨弄时候会响,做工精致。 In the ancient times certain dynasty Buddhism were prosperous, particularly before Yuan Dynasty, the golden tower quantity of handing down from generation to generation was not scarce, but such big were not many. 古代某些朝代佛教昌盛,尤其是元朝之前,传下来的金塔数量不算稀少,但这么大的不多。 Yanjing Forbidden City is collecting several golden tower, biggest, is heaviest one, named the blonde tower, tower 147 cms in height, the place side 70 centimeters, 107 kilograms in weight, had the hair of Qianlong mother Chongqing empress dowager. 燕京故宫博物院收藏着几座金塔,其中最大、也是最重的一座,名叫金发塔,塔高147厘米,座方七十厘米,重达107公斤,藏有乾隆母亲崇庆皇太后的头发。 Modeling and at present this difference, front localization, without the blonde tower is big, places in stone platform, range estimate highly one meter two, about 40 cms in width, in the product label writes concrete tall Hekuan, labels emphatically 47.5 kilograms, the price was 735000 pounds, the appraisal age is Liao. 造型和眼前这座不同,面前这座更本土化一些,没金发塔大,放在石台上,目测高度有一米二,宽40厘米左右,标牌上写着具体的高和宽,也标注着重四十七点五公斤,价格为735000英镑,鉴定年代为辽代。 Golden package of stones these words, brought to the attention of Han Xuan, in other words this golden tower, is only the gold-plating, the value sells at a discount in his mind greatly. “黄金包石头”这句话,引起了韩宣的注意,就是说这座金塔,只是镀金而已,价值在他心目中大打折扣。 Thinks that here smiled, if not because of non- pure gold, where will also sell such cheaply. 想到这里就笑了,如果不是因为非纯金,又哪会卖这么便宜呢。 The old man takes white wet cloth mop, walks to ask that he said: „ Do you like this? 老头拿着白色的湿布擦手,走过来问他说:“你喜欢这个? I just received, that person who sells the thing watched the picture last week to me, his family/home ancestors had gone to Huaxia, in the 30's old picture had it, found the person to help appraise. 我上周刚收到,卖东西的那个人给我看了照片,他家祖先曾经去过华夏,三十年代的老照片里就有它了,找人帮忙鉴定过。 ...... Was sorry, I remember you are a Chinese is right? That words did not have other meaning a moment ago, you left think. ” ……抱歉,我记得你是华人对吧?刚才那番话没有别的意思,你别多想。” All right, before robbed was unimportant, so long as later be not snatched again one well time.” Han Xuan joked, then asked the old man: Where from sees is not the gold?” “没事,以前抢走了不重要,只要以后别再被抢一次就好。”韩宣开玩笑说,接着问老头:“从哪看出里面不是黄金?” Here, gold/metal Piandiao a scrap . Moreover the foundation also fell one. “这里,金片掉了一小块,另外底座也掉了一块。 At that time the seller brings this big thing, coming my shop saying that must sell to my time, frightened me to jump, afterward the discovery was not a pure gold, otherwise at least can compared with this price expensive/noble four times. 当时卖家带着这个大东西,来我店里说要卖给我时候,吓了我一跳,后来才发现并不是纯金的,不然至少能比这个价格贵四倍。 Has signed improvement to let the contract with the seller, money also gave him, therefore you did not need to be worried about the background issue. 已经跟卖家签好转让合同,钱也给他了,因此你不用担心来路问题。 Rarely sees such big tower, in the next door shop had one, was bought by a South Korean, but it was that side Thailand, was not valuable 很少看见这么大的塔,以前隔壁店里有一座,被一位韩国人买走了,不过它是泰国那边的,不值钱” Han Xuan looks following the place that the old man refers to, bends the waist to see the breakage spot time, the expression is somewhat strange. 韩宣顺着老头指的地方看去,弯腰见到破损部位时候,表情有些奇怪。 The reason is here stone, imagined the stone to be different from him a moment ago, inside surface has the white stone of pattern, a little jade nature, touches and marble and white marble feel with the hand probably different only damages little, outside gold about two millimeters thick, cannot see anything, therefore asked that the old man said: Mister, can make me have a look at the foundation?” 原因是这里的“石头”,和他刚才想象中的石头不一样,里面表面带有花纹的白色石头,有点像是玉质,用手摸起来和大理石、汉白玉手感不同只破损一点点,外面黄金大约有两毫米厚,看不出什么,于是问老头说:“先生,能不能让我看看底座?” Ok, is only a little troublesome, looks for the person helping me line? Forgot self introduction a moment ago, I called the gallon.” “可以,只是有点麻烦,找个人帮我忙行吧?刚才忘了自我介绍,我叫加伦。” Sees Dawson gives a hand to help, the old man pointed at the Quinta Grande middle spot to continue: „ You hold here, the careful point are not related. 见道森搭手帮忙,老头指着大金塔中间部位继续说:“你扶着这里,小心点没关系。 I hold above, moreover comes individual again , helping lift, this thing is very heavy...... ” 我扶着上面,另外再来个人,帮忙抬起一些,这东西很重……” After George hears, helps, inclines Quinta Grande carefully, the foundation turns upwards the time, Han Xuan lies is looking at the foundation, after the hand traces, the mouth said: Gallon mister, does the flashlight have?” 乔治听见后也来帮忙,小心将大金塔倾斜,底座翘起时候,韩宣趴着看底座,用手摸摸后,嘴里说道:“加伦先生,手电筒有吗?” Has, on my table.” “有,在我桌子上。” Anya, you help me take 安雅,你去帮我拿一下” Anya does not understand that he looks at this doing, sees appearance that Secretary Dawson as if has enough to do, quickly walks quickly several steps, looks for the flashlight. 安雅不明白他看这个干嘛,见道森秘书似乎很吃力的样子,急忙快走几步,找来手电筒。 Attained, gives you.” “拿到了,给你。” Thanks Han Xuan said that received the flashlight, after opening, uses up the photo to the golden tower foundation, has the fat general gloss, the energy of light passes. “谢谢”韩宣说完接过手电筒,打开后用光照向金塔底座,有种油脂一般的光泽,光能透进去。 The determination is the jade without doubt, is a little happily small immediately, with the gold is wrapping jade pagoda, moreover is so big, regardless of how also incessantly now this price. 确定是玉的无疑,顿时有点小开心,用黄金包着的玉塔,而且还这么大,无论如何也不止现在这个价格。 Now the price is not actually cheap, the shop owner finds the person to appraise, definitely also knows that is the jade, but in the future the room for appreciation be higher than compared with general golden tower, calculated the national treasure. 如今价格其实不算便宜,店主找人鉴定过,肯定也知道里面是玉的,但是将来升值空间要比一般金塔高出许多,也算国宝了。 Waits for the small boss standing up time, George and Dawson put back the tower gently, Han Xuan hands over the flashlight, said: „ Was sorry that puts to trouble to you. 等小老板站起身时候,乔治和道森轻轻把塔放回原处,韩宣将手电筒递回去,说道:“抱歉给你们添麻烦。 Mister, is this price right, I bought it. ” 先生,是这个价格没错吧,我买下它了。” Ha! The divination was finally effective, ok, I help you pack!” “哈!占卜终于灵验了,ok,我帮你打包!” Isabeli sees the old man to make ok hand signal, instantaneous uncomfortable, this hand signal in Brazil, is kisses/intimate my buttocks the insult meaning...... 伊莎贝莉见老头做出“ok”手势,瞬间不爽,这个手势在巴西,是“亲我屁股”的侮辱意思……
