Chapter 113: Lin'an Treasure Hunt
The streets of Lin'an, the sky is blue, and the antique street in Lin'an is still crowded despite the scorching sun.
Compared with the antique street in Jiangcheng, Lin'an as the largest ancient city in the country, the antique market is relatively formal and tidy, the antique stalls on both sides of the street are unified are composed of steel structure, the area of the whole stall is much more spacious, and the antique ornaments displayed are naturally richer.
Shen Qiu and Xue Li stayed in Lin'an with a special mission, to visit an important figure in the Lin'an antique world.
Before meeting this big man, Xue Li took Shen Qiu around the antique market, wanting to buy a meeting gift for the big man here.
"Shen Qiu, this big man! In fact, Lin'an is a more famous antique dealer, his hometown is also our Jiangcheng area, there used to be a little grudge with my father, so he came to Lin'an from Jiangcheng to do antique business, this person's temper is strange, but there is a set of business, and it has been mixed up in Lin'an over the years!
Hetian jade dragon and phoenix jade illustrated book?
Shen Qiu knew such a treasure, it is said that it was a prince at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when he was 60 years old, he found a master in the palace to specially create a jade piece of dragon and phoenix illustrated book, and at that time, he used the top Xinjiang Hetian jade to create a dragon and phoenix auspicious jade piece for his birthday.
It is said that the purchase of Hetian jade alone cost 30,000 taels of silver, coupled with the workmanship of the top masters, the value of the final product was very expensive, which caused a sensation in the entire capital at that time, and it is also a collection of hundreds of millions of dollars now.
"What's the matter, is Uncle Zhang interested in the Dragon and Phoenix Illustrated Book?"
"It's not a matter of interest, it's a total of two parts of this dragon and phoenix totem, one part is a dragon-shaped totem, one part is a phoenix totem, the dragon-shaped part is in my dad's hand, the phoenix part is in the hands of this tiger, so many years have passed, my dad has been obsessed with this dragon and phoenix illustrated book, just this time Li Jialong's family banquet treasure appreciation conference, my dad has the heart to take this set of dragon and phoenix illustrated book to the competition, the treasure appreciation contest is held in Jiangcheng, as the first antique shop in Jiangcheng naturally can not miss our share!"
Although Shen Qiu had never seen the dragon and phoenix illustrated book, since it could make Zhang Manguo worry about it for so many years, it must be a rare treasure, and it was not a fuel-efficient lamp to think that this person named Chenghu was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The two walked around the antique street, and finally bought a pair of red walnuts, also known as red dragon walnuts as a gift to Chenghu, although it only cost tens of thousands of yuan to buy walnuts, but the quality of this red dragon walnut is complete, two red dragon walnuts are the size, the appearance of the embryo is good, 30,000 yuan to buy this pair of walnuts is also considered to have picked up the leak.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Qiu and Xueli took a taxi to Chenghu's World Treasure Hall.
This treasure hall is located in a clean street in Lin'an, two-storey small building, four street façade rooms, the shop is in the style of classical charm, the whole looks extremely card, this kind of battle in Lin'an antique shop is already quite large-scale.
The clerks inside were all uniformed in black robes, and when they saw Shen Qiu and Xue Li coming in, they thought they were coming to buy antiques, and their attitude was extremely enthusiastic, and later they heard that they were coming to find the boss Cheng Hu, and the shopping guide looked Shen Qiu and Xue Li up and down with a stunned face.
Ordinary people come to the boss either to buy good goods, or to ask the boss to appreciate the treasure, Chenghu set the rules, more than two million level of customers he personally received, the cost of treasure appreciation in advance, at least 10,000 yuan to start, less than this number does not need to inform him.
The young shopping guide saw that Shen Qiu and Xueli were handsome and beautiful, and obviously did not look like people in the antique circle: "If you two buy antiques, you can find me, if you want to appraise, you need to make an appointment in advance, and our boss's appraisal fee also starts at 10,000 yuan......
Xue Li pouted and smiled: "Speaking of which, the treasure we want to buy is not cheap, and if it is worth it, it is at least tens of millions of ......."
The oily noodle shopping guide immediately interrupted and smiled: "Don't joke with me, we don't have this level of treasure in our store, and we may not be able to find a few in the entire Lin'an City!"
This shopping guide clearly looks like he looks down on people, and Xue Li can wave to a female shopping guide in the store.
The female shopping guide looks dignified and beautiful, and is dressed appropriately: "This beauty, what are your instructions!"
Xue Li took out a wad of banknotes from her wallet and handed it to the female shopping guide: "Please say hello to your boss Chenghu, and say that I brought him a greeting gift, pairs of red dragon walnuts!"
As soon as the female shopping guide saw this red dragon walnut, she knew that Shen Qiu and Xueli were not ordinary masters, this kind of red dragon walnut was not an ordinary walnut at first glance, the boss usually had a good mouthful, and someone sent pairs of walnuts to the door was naturally a hundred willing.
"Wait a minute, you two, I'll help you communicate right away......"
A few minutes later, the female shopping guide invited Shen Qiu and Xueli into the private room on the second floor, which is the treatment of VIP customers in the store: "Two of you, please come in, the boss has prepared a first-class Longjing, and I respectfully invite you two to taste tea!"
Shen Qiu and Xue Li went up one after the other, and on the second floor of the store, they finally met this legendary antique tycoon.
As soon as he entered the scene, Shen Qiu was surprised, this antique tycoon was not the same as the image he imagined, most of the antique tycoons were old men who had experienced vicissitudes of life and were kind, but the image of this adult tiger surprised Shen Qiu.
Dyed yellow inch board head, thick eyebrows, small eyes, nose bridge and mouth corners are grinning. With a glittering chain around his neck, equipment for fashionable shoes, and four bodyguards in straight suits behind him, he doesn't look like an antique tycoon, but like a nouveau riche who follows the trend.
"Oops, oops, beautiful beauties, beauties, beautie
As soon as he entered the door, Chenghu's attitude was extremely enthusiastic, and his eyes were only fixed on Xue Li's face.
Xue Li is wearing a slightly calm dress today, with long burgundy hair and a shawl, a white shirt tightened, and white skin is fair and delicate.
"The two of you are here! What kind of gifts do you bring!, polite!" Cheng Hu couldn't help but come up and take the pair of red dragon walnuts from Xue Li's hand, holding Xue Li's tender hand with both hands but unwilling to let go for a long time.
In this way, Shen Qiu can be seen clearly, this guy is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is still not old at the age of sixty or seventy, and his eyes are full of light when he looks at women, but everyone doesn't see the antiques, and the veritable old pervert is not bad.
It is said that this family was driven out of Jiangcheng by Zhang Manguo back then, and this kind of character can be seen that Zhang Manguo did the right thing.
"Boss Cheng......" Xue Li pulled her little hand back with difficulty: "Let me introduce you, this is our Master Shen, just like you, he is also a treasure master from Jiangcheng, we are all from the Treasure Pavilion, this time, there is something to communicate with you first!"
At the mention of the Treasure Pavilion, Cheng Hu's face was clearly stunned: "After a long time, it turns out that you are from the Treasure Pavilion! Zhang Manguo? Does this old bastard still have the face to come to me? I'm sorry! I took the red dragon walnuts you sent, but I am gone! But I don't see anyone from Zhang Manguo!"
Shen Qiu gasped, and finally understood how Chenghu made his fortune, people drove away things and left behind?
"Boss Cheng, it's easy to say anything! After so many years, what grievances can't be resolved! We are here on behalf of Boss Zhang this time with 12 points of sincerity, it's no problem if you want to drive us away, it's not too late to listen to the sincerity of our Boss Zhang before making a decision!"
"En......" Cheng Hu looked Xueli's slender figure up and down: "It's still this beautiful woman who speaks well, if he Zhang Manguo could have your same eloquence, we wouldn't make trouble to this point, beauty, look at it! Look at it! This is the good thing Zhang Manguo did for me back then!"
Cheng Hu said and rolled up his right leg, the side of his right leg pants rolled up, and a bowl-sized wound was exposed on the side of the shriveled calf.
