Warren pointed to one of the statues and said, "This is the statue of Venus, the god of love. What do you see here?"

Jiang Hao and Garrison both looked down at the corner of the base, where there was a line of carved ancient Greek. Warren said excitedly: "This signature is Polycretos, one of the most famous sculpture masters in ancient Greece. Several of his sculptures are stored in the British Museum and the Athens Museum."

"There are also these two statues, this is the Statue of Victory, this is the Statue of Athena, and all three sculptures are works by Polycretos."

Warren continued: "You know that there is a statue of the goddess of victory in the Louvre, but it is broken, without a head, only half a body and a wing. The Louvre has recently offered a reward of 1 million euros to collect restoration designs, which means that as long as you come up with the most perfect design and don't need to repair it yourself, you can get a bonus of 1 million euros."

"There is also this statue of the goddess Athena. There are several statues of the goddess Athena in various museums, but most of them are wearing armor and spears to express the direction of the war. This one is wearing a garland, her clothes are exposed with her shoulders and legs, and she is very relaxed and leisurely, which is never seen before. But Master Polycretos made Athena in this state so vividly, which is definitely a unique work."

"No, I'm wrong. These three sculptures are all unique, with extremely high artistic value and extremely complete preservation. They have been hardly damaged for more than two thousand years. This is the most rare thing."

The price of works of masters with names and surnames is countless times higher than works of works without names and surnames. Jiang Hao is very happy about this result.

"Mr. Warren, can you give these three statues a valuation?" Jiang Hao asked.

Warren immediately shook his head and said loudly: "Mr. Jon, they are real national treasures, and their value is immeasurable. The treasures of the three major Louvre museums, the broken arm Venus, the incomplete statue of the goddess of victory, and Mona Lisa."

"Your Venus is a work of Polycretos, and the artistic value will never be lower than the sculptor Alexandros's 'Broken Arm Venus'. How much do you think she should be worth?"

"The statue of the goddess of victory, the Louvre is seriously incomplete, yours is complete, and the author of the statue of the Louvre is difficult to verify, and yours is the work of Master Polycretos, and its value is higher than that of the statue of the goddess of victory. How much do you think she should be worth?"

"And this statue of Athena, whose value is equivalent to the first two statues. How much do you think she should be worth?"

Speaking of this, Warren's face showed a little sadness, his eyes were a little red, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jon, I really don't want them to be sent to auction, because it is a blasphemy to them, art is priceless... priceless, you should save them well, or rent them to a museum for exhibition, so that more people can appreciate these perfect masterpieces of art."

Garrison next to him was stunned at first when he heard this, but immediately realized that Warren, the old guy, was going crazy. Such a good business was actually pushing out. He immediately gave Thomas next to him a wink.

Thomas immediately understood and stepped forward and pulled Warren away, "Warren Steven has brewed us black tea, let's have a drink."

Warren also realized that he had just lost his composure. He took a deep breath, smiled at Jiang Hao, and turned around and went out.

Garrison looked at Jiang Hao nervously, afraid that he would change his mind. If the big business went bad, he would probably be sad for several years.

Looking at Garrison who was a little nervous, Jiang Hao smiled, "Don't worry, these are all confirmed to be auctioned, but Garrison, do more publicity, you have heard the words of Warren appraisers just now. They are truly priceless treasures, so there should be a price that matches them, what do you think."

"Of course, my wishes and you are exactly the same." Garrison said with a smile on his face.

The auction house sent several cars to pack the statues safest, and 20 armed escort personnel guarded the antiques and statues to the auction house.

Then,

The auction house organized a larger-scale appraisal. This time, not only the auction house's own appraiser, but also invited several well-known appraisers and archaeological experts from the society, which made the news very popular. In the end, these experts reached the conclusion that the appraisal results were the same as those of Warren and Thomas.

The next day,

The auction house held a press conference, with Garrison sitting in the main seat, with several well-known experts sitting next to it, and more than 30 media were invited from the audience.

"Dear reporters, Jiang Hao recently exhibited a batch of treasures from the period of Alexander the Great in ancient Greece, including fifteen gold utensils and three classical marble statues. These fifteen gold utensils are all court supplies from Alexander the Great. They are exquisitely shaped and inlaid with precious gems. They are definitely rare authentic works of art. The three statues are national treasure-level cultural relics, all from Polycretos, one of the three major sculpture masters of ancient Greece. They have extremely high artistic value and collection value. Please look at the big screen now."

On the LCD screens on both sides, exquisite photos of art began to flash.

Garrison said with a smile: "Tomorrow, these artworks will be displayed in the exhibition hall of Charlotte Auction House for a period of 2 months. The batch of artworks will be auctioned publicly in two months."

As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused great interest from those big collectors and major museums in various countries. In the West, oil paintings and sculptures are the most mainstream works of art. Two of the three treasures of the Louvre are sculptures. If other museums are collected, they can definitely be used as their treasures of the museum.

After the exhibition began, countless collectors and museum managers came to inspect and observe, and then went back to study how to take pictures of these precious works of art.

The auction was left to Garrison to handle, but Jiang Hao got idle and continued to live the leisurely life of his college teacher.

In the weekly mystery course, Jiang Hao walked into the classroom with a folder. What surprised Jiang Hao was that there were a lot more students coming today than the last time.

Jiang Hao's teaching work was not interrupted except for taking leave during an adventure. At the beginning, his courses were only more than 30 electives, but Jiang Hao's teaching was very distinctive, and the mysterious things were the most attractive. Later, he also attracted some listeners to the class as they increased their experiences, so the number of people increased.

From 30 to 40 and 50, the last class had reached 80. Today, Jiang Hao glanced at it and found that there were more students than the previous class, with about one hundred people.

Putting the lecture notes on the desk, Jiang Hao smiled and said, "There seems that there are a lot more people today. It seems that my class is becoming more and more popular. I am very happy. Today's course I am going to talk about a small branch of Oriental Mysticism, fortune telling."

"I would like to ask, how much do you know about fortune telling? You can list one or two of them." Jiang Hao asked.

A student immediately said:

"Tarot card."

"constellation."

“Astrology.”

"Prophecy."

At this time, Miranda stood up and said, "Teacher, I know that there are Zhou Yi in the East, facial features, palmistry, bone touching, time and eight characters calculation, zodiac fortune telling, lottery draw, etc."

Jiang Hao was a little surprised and looked at Miranda and asked, "It's rare that you actually know so much about fortune telling in the East."

Miranda smiled and looked at Jiang Hao with bright eyes. "Teacher, I have been studying mysticism very hard recently and have read a lot of books, especially for the knowledge of the East's mysticism. The knowledge of the East's mysticism is really magnificent. I only know a little bit."

Jiang Hao smiled and nodded, "It's already rare."

Miranda smiled sweetly and sat back.

Jiang Hao returned to the center of the podium and said, "What you just said is right, Western tarot cards, constellations, astrology, prophecy, and there are also tea residue fortune telling, salt divination, and even water rat divination, right?"

Many students below laughed softly.

"Fortune-telling in the East is also very complicated, but most of them come from the Zhou Yi, and can be divided into faces, palms, bone touching, time and eight characters calculation, money hexagram, zodiac fortune telling, plum blossom numbers, lottery draw and other methods."

"What is fortune telling? If you give a definition, I think it should be a way to guess the good fortune of a person's life through some method."

"Fortune telling is both in the East and the West, but there are big differences, but the essence is the same, that is, destiny. Today we will talk about fortune telling in the East."

“How many fortune telling methods are there in the East?”

Jiang Hao spread his hands with a hint of helplessness on his face: "There are too many. There are countless species in China, and I know about them. There are as many branches and branches, many of which are only circulated in one place and are not known."

"Just like the tarot card, there are many algorithms, such as the hexagram divination method, the holy triangle divination method, the diamond divination method, etc."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hao smiled and said, "If I just dictated it on the podium, it may be difficult for you to understand and remember it. Maybe letting you experience it personally can deepen the impact, so I would like to ask if anyone has come to experiment with various fortune telling methods."

Interactive teaching can be said to be the most attractive thing about Jiang Hao's mysticism. Starting from the three experiments he made in the first class, almost every teaching has an experience link. Most students are attracted by this personal experience teaching method, and more and more talents come to listen to the lectures.

As soon as Jiang Hao finished speaking, many people immediately raised their hands, and Miranda was the highest one. This girl not only raised her hands but also raised her chest high.

Jiang Hao glanced over the student with a smile, and his eyes stopped at the last row of the teacher intentionally or unintentionally. A middle-aged white man was sitting at that position, looking at Jiang Hao with interest. The two looked at each other briefly, and the other smiled at Jiang Hao.

But Jiang Hao had already recognized this middle-aged man.
