Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes Chapter 1164

Chapter 1164 Dinosaur Fossils

"Mr. Zhang, please help me pay attention. If there is a chance, I would also like to go and see it. Some strange stones in the world are still very valuable for collection, such as the chicken blood stone and Tianhuang stone that you are familiar with. Among the strange stones, they are priceless. I think even if your neighbor wants to fake it, it's impossible for him to make more than two hundred strange stones, and the craftsmanship of the faker is also very impressive."

Li Mo is an expert in appraisal, and nothing good can escape his eyes. If he is given a chance, he might actually be able to pick out valuable stones.

“Boss, I have my neighbor's social account. Let's ask him now.”

“Okay, everyone, don't stop using your chopsticks. Eat, eat, eat. If there's not enough, add more.”

Within a few minutes, I heard Mr. Zhang say: "Boss, there will be someone at his house this afternoon. Would you like to go over and take a look?"

"Okay." Li Mo looked at the time, "How about we make an appointment at 2:30 in the afternoon."

“Okay, let me tell him.”

Zhang Xingquan is an old man with a thousand years of experience. He joined the company ten years ago and was promoted step by step. He is now in charge of the tourism sector and is the vice president. He lived in an old villa area at the junction of Yandu and Kyoto. Li Mo entered the community in his car. He looked at the environment and said, "The greening here is pretty good."

"It turned out to be a complete mess. Later, our owners' committee raised funds on our own and then applied to the official for help with planning, so we have the current greening effect. There was no way, before Yandu City was established, this was actually a suburban town, and houses were cheap at that time. It's true, it's normal for the greening to be poor. Now the quality of life has been greatly improved. Once the greening is done, the house price will increase by three to four thousand per square meter. The little money raised is well spent."

The car stopped in front of a villa. Standing at the door were two old people and two children aged five or six, who must be Zhang Xingquan's parents and children.

“Mom, Dad, this is our boss.”

Zhang Xingquan quickly introduced Li Mo's identity as soon as he got out of the car.

“We all know each other. We all know each other. Mr. Li is a professor at Beijing University, a treasure appraiser, a treasure hunter, a Bajiquan master, a Miao swordsman, a philanthropist, and an entrepreneur.”

Father Zhang mentioned a lot of names in succession, which made Li Mo a little embarrassed. Seeing how others praised him, he was actually so good.

Li Mo took out two red envelopes from his small bag and handed them to Zhang Xingquan's children, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, Xingquan and I have something to do, so I won't chat with you any more."

“Xingquan told us, you go and do your work first.”

While they were talking, a middle-aged man appeared at the door of the single-family villa next door. He was short and fat, with a smooth head. However, the sports car parked at the door was worth a lot of money. From Li Mo's perspective, if that man wasn't too rich, he probably wouldn't be able to marry his first wife.

Zhang Xingquan led Li Mo over and said, "Mr. Wang, this is my boss, Mr. Li Mo."

“Hello, Mr. Li, I've known you for a long time, my name is Wang Zhoulin.” Wang Zhoulin stretched out his hand and immediately retracted it, then wiped his hands on his body, and then stretched out again.

“Hello, Mr. Wang, sorry to bother you.”

Li Mo shook hands with him and said with a smile.

“Excuse me, your arrival has made our family shine. Please come this way.” Wang Zhoulin walked in front and said as he walked, “I didn't expect Mr. Li to be interested in strange stones.”

"Really good strange stones are worth a lot of money, even more valuable than most antiques. Those strange stones are also valuable for collection. Mr. Wang, I heard from Xingquan that the strange stones in your home have been made by experts in this field. I have passed the appraisal, but I don't know if the results are available yet?”

“All have been identified.”

Wang Zhoulin did not continue. He probably thought that there were not many valuable stones and he was too embarrassed to open his mouth. They walked directly into the negative first floor, which was a hall. Surrounded by ancient shelves were erected, with stones of various shapes, large and small, placed on them. Under the illumination of the light, the strange stones exuded different colors and lustres. .

"Mr. Li, those labeled stones are all valuable. Other stones are not recognized by those experts. Unexpectedly, it took more than ten years to collect more than 200 strange stones and only more than 30 of them have collection value. It is a loss." It's a shame if you die.”

Wang Zhoulin kept complaining, and Li Mo despised him very much. He thought to himself, "Who doesn't know about your trivial things? What's the point of pretending?" But he came here today to look for strange rocks. It was up to the owner to say whatever he wanted, so he didn't bother to ask.

He walked slowly along the archaeological shelves. Li Mo didn't know many of the strange stones with labels on them. In his mind, only chicken blood stones, Tianhuang, etc. could catch his eye. But some strange stones are also very famous, such as a braised pork stone collected in the Bay Island Museum. It is one of the treasures of the museum and now belongs to Li Mo.

Of course there is also a large table of rare stones for the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet, and every dish is full of strange stones. It is said that the total value of the Manchu and Han banquet with rare stones exceeds 200 million. If given the chance, Li Mo would also like to collect such a strange stone banquet. Of course, it does not need to be a Manchu and Han banquet, as long as it has meat and vegetables.

The valuable stones collected by Wang Zhoulin are only valuable in the eyes of ordinary people, but they are of little interest in the eyes of Li Mo. When he saw that Li Mo was just looking at them without asking, he was worried about Xiao Jiujiu. Could it be that these strange stones didn't catch his eye? It's right to think about it, who is Li Mo? There are countless priceless treasures in his museum, so how can he take a fancy to these things?

Li Mo looked around and said regretfully: "Mr. Wang, to be honest, the most expensive of these strange stones in your collection is estimated to be only two to three hundred thousand, and the quality is not high."

Wang Zhou and Lin Xindao were indeed guessed by him. Li Mo really did not like such a strange stone. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Li, if I were one ten thousandth as good as you, I wouldn't have been deceived so many times. You haven't taken a fancy to any of these strange stones?"

Li Mo glanced at it again, then walked to a shelf and took down a ball-sized stone from it. The stone protruding from the surface looked like a fossilized bone, but he couldn't tell what animal's bone fossil it was.

“Mr. Wang, where did you buy this stone?”

Wang Zhoulin took a look and said: "I remember that I found it at an antique market stall in Inner Mongolia one year. They said it was a fossil with a history of at least tens of millions of years."

“Do you remember which city it is?”

“Chifeng Antique City.”

Li Mo nodded, and then asked: "Since it is an animal bone fossil, why do experts think it has no value?"

Wang Zhoulin scratched his head and said: "Actually, I have also asked. The experts said that this belongs to the category of fossils and not to the category of strange stones. Let me find a time to take it to consult with fossil experts to see what kind of animal fossil it belongs to. Mr. Li, Have you done any research on this?"

"Do you think I am omnipotent?" Li Mo smiled and said, "Although I have a museum of ancient marine fossils in my name, I am a novice in the research of fossils. I am just a little interested after seeing the fossils. Mr. Wang, are you willing to transfer this bone fossil? I can ask an expert to identify it."

"Huh?" Wang Zhoulin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Mo to take a fancy to this bone fossil, but how much is it worth? After all, it was only a few thousand yuan when he bought it, so it was impossible to sell it to him for hundreds of thousands.

"Mr. Wang, don't be embarrassed. I won't force you to change hands if you don't want to." Li Mo was about to put the bone fossil back to its original place, but Wang Zhoulin said quickly, "If Mr. Li is really interested in this fossil, I will give it to you directly. Yes. I only spent a few thousand yuan on this fossil, so it's not worth a few bucks.”

“No reward for no merit, Mr. Wang, that's good. How about I pay 50,000 yuan to buy this suspected animal bone fossil?”

How could Li Mo owe him a favor? Since he said that he only spent a few thousand yuan at the beginning, buying it for 50,000 yuan would make him a huge profit. In this way, money and goods are cleared, and no one takes advantage of anyone.

"This..." Wang Zhoulin was a little hesitant. He wanted to give it to him for free, and then hooked up with him and hugged his thigh.

Zhang Xingquan snorted secretly, this guy still wanted to take advantage of the boss, and he didn't even look at how much he weighed.

“Mr. Wang, if you think fifty thousand is less, how about I add more?”

“Okay, fifty thousand is fifty thousand, Mr. Li, take this fossil away.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wang, for parting with me.” Li Mo used his mobile phone to transfer 50,000 yuan to him, and then left Wang Zhoulin's house holding the fossilized bones in one hand, unwilling to keep any more. After he left, a middle-aged woman in her forties who was also a bit pudgy got out of a luxury car. She looked at the leaving figures of Li Mo and Zhang Xingquan and asked in an indifferent tone: "Who is that young man?" who?"

“Li Mo.”

The short and fat woman muttered twice, then suddenly widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "Is it that treasure-hunting master Li Mo?"

"Then who do you think you are?" Wang Zhoulin sarcastically said in a cold tone, "He spent 50,000 yuan to buy a fossilized bone from me. I will give you half of the money first later. I won't take advantage of you, just settle the account." It's clearly distinguished.”

“The surname is Wang, let's see you in court. I will spit out whatever the **** eats.”

Li Mo looked back and saw that the two short fat men started to confront each other at the door of the house, and they were about to have a showdown.

“Boss, stay at home for dinner tonight.”

"No, this stone has other mysteries. I have to rush back and use tools to break it down."

Zhang Xingquan looked at the bone fossils in his hands and saw nothing unusual about them. However, the boss's ability was beyond his imagination, so he didn't retain him.

“Boss, I'll take you back.”

“Don't be so troublesome. You can stay at home with your children. It's convenient to take a taxi from the door of my community. I'm leaving.”

After Li Mo took a taxi back to Guyunxuan Manor, he carried the stone into a side room. Inside was his work place, with all kinds of tools and even various protective clothing to wear.

“Xiao Mo, what did you take just now?”

Li Zhongsheng walked in holding Jun Yang and asked curiously.

“Well, it's a fossilized bone.”

“Dad, is the stone a treasure?” Li Jun asked with a milky voice.

"Stones are not treasures, but fossils are. But Jun Yang, you are still young. When you grow up a few years, you will understand what dad means." Li Mo started to put on protective clothing, "Dad, I will use it later. Use the tools to decompose this fossil, and you take Jun Yang out to play, lest the dust chokes your throats and makes your coughing uncomfortable."

"Okay, you finish it as soon as possible and spend more time with the child when you get home." Li Zhongsheng picked up Jun Yang and was about to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and asked, "Xiao Mo, that celebrity you mentioned before Tang, who has been chosen as the first curator?"

Li Mo turned to look at him, and then said slyly: "Is Comrade Li interested in the position of curator?"

“Don't people just want to leave more names in the world? Do you think I am qualified?”

"Of course you are qualified. The director is only responsible for managing daily affairs and does not need any special status. But the Hall of Fame is built in Suzhou, so you can't live there, right?"

"You kid still hid it from me. Sirui revealed it to us, saying that you are planning to build a manor in Gusu. Once the construction is completed, your mother and I will go there to live and retire. Gusu is also close to the devil. Du, that's where we have lived for forty or fifty years, and the old man still pays attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. If you hadn't been busy these years, your mother and I would have gone back to live in the capital long ago.”

Comrade Lao Li finally started to complain a little. In the past, it was just his mother Shiyi who often complained that Li Mo was too busy to take care of his family. Now Lao Li also has opinions.

"Hahaha, Comrade Li, if you keep insisting, it is difficult to find a location for the manor. If there is no suitable place, I am going to buy a property in Gusu, and then we can live there for a while as long as we want to go there. It's really suitable for living and retiring there.”

“That's pretty much it, what about the first director of the Hall of Fame?”

Li Mo put on his dustproof suit and assured him: "It has to be you. Who dares to rob me?"

Li Zhongsheng was satisfied and kissed his eldest grandson on the face, then hugged him proudly and left the yard.

"Old Li actually wants to go back to his hometown to live." Li Mo muttered to himself. Since he came to Kyoto at the age of nineteen, he has spent more than 90% of his time here for more than ten years. He has ignored his parents. idea.

As people get older, it is normal for them to want to return to their hometown.

Li Mo put aside his messy thoughts for the time being, then fixed the fossil on the machine, closed the lid and started the machine, which immediately started cutting with a harsh sound.

After a while, the machine stopped. Li Mo picked up one of the fossils, washed the cut surface with clean water, and touched it with his hands. Then he came to the workbench and started polishing the fossil along an irregular route with a miniature electric polishing pen.

He controlled the strength very well. After some time, a fossilized spine that looked like some small animal gradually appeared on the surface of the cut surface. As the polishing progressed, leg bone fossils, claw fossils, and neck fossils gradually appeared.

Although the head fossil has not been polished yet, the complete fossil outline of some kind of animal is faintly visible.

The sky outside was getting darker, and it seemed like another heavy snowfall was coming. Li Mo finally put down the stones and tools in his hands. He stood up and twisted his waist to relax his muscles.

“It looks a bit like the fossil of a small dinosaur, or the fossil of a juvenile dinosaur.”

Li Mo looked at his masterpiece and was particularly satisfied. However, he still had to consult a dinosaur fossil expert, as this was not his expertise.

I got the contact information of a dinosaur fossil expert from Mr. Zhu Changping, and then took a dozen photos from different angles and sent them to the other party, hoping to ask him to help identify what kind of dinosaur fossil it was.
