When the first set of photos were posted to the Tianhuangshi Post and Tianhuangshi Forum, they quickly attracted the attention of many enthusiasts and experts. No way, who asked Li Anran to take the photos, which are high-definition and multi-angle, even without looking at the real thing?

It's also easy to see some clues. Of course, the most popular reason is because the material in this photo is really amazing.

The top variety of Tianhuang stone is called Tianhuang jelly by insiders. This type of Tianhuang stone is completely transparent and looks as moist as solidified honey.

Since the origin of real Tianhuang stone is limited to such a large area, the top Tianhuang jelly is naturally even rarer. And the stone Li Anran selected, according to experts after looking at the photos,

It is probably the best among the best. However, it is precisely because it is the best that it has aroused the suspicion of many people.

As a result, a heated debate quickly arose on the forums as to whether the material in the photo was the best Tianhuang Jelly, or whether it was artificially fabricated.

Li Anran took advantage of the debate between the pros and cons and used his registered vest number to ask for some knowledge and tips on the identification of Tian Huangshi. Together with the help of professional information found on the Internet, he was basically certain.

.The stone that I specially picked out, which is about the size of an adult’s head, may be the best Tianhuang Jelly.

To Li Anran's surprise, as the debate between posts and forums attracted more fans and insiders, the original account where he posted the photos actually received many short messages from posts and forums. Among them, there were

Some people directly expressed their intention to purchase and left their contact numbers to facilitate interviews.

Li Anran just weighed the trade channel that came to his door and completely rejected it. Although finding someone to sell Tianhuang Stone by himself could avoid attracting more attention, it would also likely cause a lot of trouble.

So, I just gave an apologetic reply to those who asked about the price. However, I didn't say anything, I just said that I had no plans to sell it yet.

As for the problem that Tongfu Ji found Tian Huangshi easily, Li Anran was not surprised after some understanding. In addition to the fact that he had provided enough information and even provided many high-definition photos as a basis.

The main reason is that Tianhuang Stone is not known to everyone in Shoushan, but no one knows its value.

In order to make his identification technology more accurate, in the next few days, Li Anran kept running back and forth between the Tang Dynasty and modern time and space. At the same time, he also continued to post photos of new materials on the Internet for those who are interested in

Researchers and experts conduct preliminary appraisals.

In the past few days, Li Anran also used the map of Tang Dynasty time and space and the map of modern time and space, plus various positioning methods, to finally confirm the area on both sides of Shoushan River in Shoushan Township, Fuzhou where Tianhuang Stone is produced. Then,

With the cooperation of Tongfuji and local officials, large-scale mining of Shoushan Stone began.

Considering that the more money is made through auctions, the risk increases. Therefore, in order to raise enough funds at one time, Li Anran even did not hesitate to build a small excavator from modern time and space.

And he personally went into battle to dig deep.

With the help of an excavator, even a small excavator, and the cooperation of a large number of manpower, and during the first year of Zhenguan, Tianhuang Stone had not been spread at all, and the mining efficiency naturally made Li Anran very satisfied. In just a short time

Within ten days, the Tianhuang stones stored in Tongfuji's warehouse had piled up into a small mountain.

Tianhuang jelly, silver wrapped in gold, white field stone, gold wrapped in silver, chicken fat yellow, orange peel yellow, black leather field, hard field stone, orange peel red field and other varieties, we got a lot of each.

Li Anran did not treat those who were assigned to help with excavation at the construction site badly. Although the three meals a day were not a big meal of fish and meat, you could see meat and fish in every meal. The most important thing was to have enough food.

Moreover, there would be a salary that was very good at the time every day. In addition to digging, which required strong labor, women, old people, and children could do the work of picking up and transporting small stones. As long as the set amount was completed, even if

The pay is not as good as that kind of labor, but at least three meals a day are enough and good.

Li Anran's vigorous mining of Tianhuang stones naturally attracted the attention of the Fuzhou governor and other local officials. However, after a batch of these stones were privately sent to the governor's house, this group of officials headed by the Fuzhou governor

Gentlemen, after discussing it privately several times, apart from feeling that the texture of this Tianhuang stone is indeed quite good, they did not see what value it had that warranted the observer’s efforts.

Compared with these Tianhuang stones, the appearance of the small excavator has attracted a lot of attention. At least, in the eyes of these local officials, this unique "wooden cow and stray horse" has great value.

It's much higher than those rocks.

It is a pity that along with the Tongfuji caravan, there are several internal guards who have received secret orders. Therefore, as for the origin of the small excavator and other matters, they can only speak in private.

Say, no one dares to put it on the table to discuss.

Li Anran was not unaware of these guys' private actions and insinuating inquiries. He did not conceal such inquiries, but said frankly that the texture of this kind of Tianhuang stone was good. If it could be processed,

Whether it is used to make seals or be carved into Buddha statues, gods or other ornaments, its value is no less than that of top quality jade. Unfortunately, not many people believe this explanation sincerely.

In ten days, Li Anran not only collected several of the most exquisite and typical Tianhuang stone varieties, but also the quantity was astonishing.

After seeing that this time's harvest was no exaggeration to describe it as a full harvest, I returned to modern time and space, and let "Legally Blonde" Anne officially get in touch with the auction house.

As a lawyer, Annie directly contacted her colleagues from the three major auction houses in the world. According to Li Anran's original intention, since she wanted to submit the auction, she naturally found the best auction house. Among the three major auction houses in the world, she had

The one with unshakable status was of course Sotheby's, but it was Christie's who came in second place and finally negotiated the right to sell the goods.

For Li Anran, it doesn't matter whether he is first or second. As long as he can maximize his own interests and maintain sufficient confidentiality. However, according to the suggestion of the person in charge of Christie's, this time since it is completely

For a special auction featuring jade and field yellow stones, the location of the auction is naturally the most advantageous in Asia.

After some negotiations, Christie's auction house selected the location of this auction in Hong Kong, China. As for the jade materials, jade articles, Tianhuang stones participating in the auction, as well as the meticulous carvings hired by famous craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty

The Tianhuang stone ornaments, seals, and ornaments that came out were all appraised by professional appraisers sent by Christie's, and they were also estimated at an appropriate base price.

Not to mention what the final value of the results at the auction will be, the total reserve price given by the auction house alone is already nearly 100 million US dollars. You know, this is only a very conservative reserve price. Based on the price of jade in Asia

Hotan Huangshi is so popular that it is not difficult to double the base price. If you meet an owner who is not short of money, it is not impossible to get a higher price.

After handing over all the lots to Christie's Auction Company and completing all the formalities accompanied by Anne, Li Anran discovered that it would take quite some time to sell this batch of jade and Tianhuang. After all,

For a business like auction, the wider the publicity, the better the effect will be.

No, just a few days after signing the contract and completing the relevant procedures, Li Anran saw the Christie's auction company's promotion of this special auction on the Internet or TV. At the same time, according to the person in charge of the auction

According to the person in charge, these promotions are only to attract more new customers. In fact, the corresponding invitation letters have been sent to those old customers who are qualified and are extremely interested in jade materials and Tianhuang. (
