Chapter 12: The Great Disappointment
According to Chen Yunhan's revelation in the car: Before Cai Haixing committed suicide, he owed more than 60 million yuan in foreign debts.
The assets of his two jade and jade shops are valued at 15 million yuan, the two houses in Hengjiang City are valued at 10 million yuan, and the villa where Shi Xiaolin now lives is valued at 15 million yuan -- these are all the assets he had during his lifetime.
Assets and liabilities are offset, and there is still a shortfall of more than 20 million yuan.
After Cai Haixing's suicide, two jewelry stores were divided among three creditors, and two houses in the urban area were mortgaged by banks and were seized and auctioned by the bank.
And the villa where Shi Xiaolin lives has also been targeted by two creditors.
Just a week ago, two creditors came to the door together with IOUs, and Shi Xiaolin was given ten days to move out, otherwise they would bring someone to drive her away......
After listening to this somewhat tragic story, Tang Xin asked Chen Yunhan at that time: "Since Shi Xiaolin still has antiques, calligraphy and paintings and jadeite rough stones at home, why don't you sell these collections to pay off debts?"
Of course she wanted to! But she invited a few experts to the villa to look at the collections, most of which were fakes. The remaining genuine pieces are not worth more than three million yuan in total. Especially those jadeite rough stones, after several jade experts have seen them, they all said that they have no value. For this reason, Shi Xiaolin was so anxious that she almost wanted to commit suicide with her husband. ”
Tang Xin asked strangely: "Since she has invited experts to come and see, why did you call me over?"
Chen Yunhan said with a smile while driving the car elegantly: "Don't you have a magical ability to appreciate treasures? Perhaps, in those collections in her house, there are really valuable treasures, but they have been ignored by those experts, or they have been misidentified." If you go and show her again, she might pick up a few big leaks!"
When he saw Shi Xiaolin waiting at the door of the villa, Tang Xin paid attention to her face, and sure enough, he found that she was full of worries, although she was smiling, but this smile was very reluctant.
When she saw Tang Xin walking side by side with Chen Yunhan, she showed a look of surprise on her face, stared at him a few times with great attention, and then asked Chen Yunhan: "Hanhan, didn't you say that you wanted to find me a very powerful treasure expert? Why didn't you come with you?"
Chen Yunhan pointed at Tang Xin with his hand and said with a smile: "He is the expert I invited!"
Shi Xiaolin was taken aback, looked Tang Xin up and down a few times, and saw that he was in his early twenties at most, although he looked unusually handsome and handsome, but he was dressed very ordinarily, and he could even be described by the word "shabby", without the appearance of an expert and scholar at all.
So, she said to Chen Yunhan a little angrily: "Hanhan, I am in such a miserable situation, why are you still here to entertain me? How can there be such a young treasure expert in the world? If this handsome guy can also appreciate treasures, I can catch several of them on the street." ”
She was originally a very kind and gentle woman, but because of the sudden changes during this time, she was in a bad mood, and she preconceived that Tang Xin would not be able to appreciate the treasure, so she said these somewhat harsh words.
Chen Yunhan thought that Tang Xin would be angry, so he glanced at him quickly, but saw that he still had that calm and indifferent smile on his face, as if he didn't care about Shi Xiaolin's cynicism, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly admired his magnanimity and elegance.
As the saying goes, 'A man cannot be a person, and the sea cannot be measured.'" Don't look at this handsome guy who is young, but just now at the audition site of our program group, he has already revealed a few shocking magical treasure appreciation skills, and even Mr. Jin Yiming admires him so much. If you don't believe me, you'll find out if you ask him to appraise a few pieces!"
Shi Xiaolin thought that Chen Yunhan was fascinated by Tang Xin's handsome appearance, so she praised him, so she pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "Hanhan, you tell me the truth: have you taken a fancy to this handsome guy? You and I have been friends for so many years, you have never brought a man here, and you have never seen you praise a young boy so much." ”
Chen Yunhan's face turned red, he subconsciously glanced at Tang Xin, and defended a little panicked: "Sister Lin, what are you talking about? I only met him this morning, how can I fall in love with him? I saw that he really has very magical treasure appreciation skills, so I brought him over to show you the collection, don't 'dog bite Lu Dongbin - I don't know the hearts of good people'!"
Shi Xiaolin heard that she and Tang Xin had only met this morning, and she was even more disappointed, and sighed and said: "Hanhan, in my impression, you have always been very dignified and steady, why did you suddenly become so careless and willful today? I think you are just fascinated by this handsome guy and have lost your basic judgment: he is so young, even if he starts learning treasure appreciation from his mother's womb, he can't have any special magical skills!"
Chen Yunhan saw that Shi Xiaolin insisted that she was fascinated by Tang Xin, and couldn't help but fly her cheeks and heart like a deer, she was both shy and a little crying and laughing, and pouted and said: "Sister Lin, why are you so arbitrary? If you don't believe me, I can make a bet with you: Wait a minute, if Mr. Tang correctly identifies the authenticity of your collections, you invite me to Xiangxing Seafood House for a big dinner; if he is eye-catching, I will also invite you to eat a seafood dinner." How?"
"Okay. I'm in debt right now, but it's okay to treat you to a big audition dinner. ”
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a Tang costume and rubbing two walnuts in the palm of his hand walked out of the villa, and said to Shi Xiaolin a little impatiently: "Miss Shi, can you sell that batch of goods? To tell you the truth: in your pile of objects, there are only three or four things that look like genuine products, and the rest are some unsightly road goods." Lao Li and I paid two million yuan to buy them, which is already to see the face of your big star. If it were another buyer, I am afraid that I would not be able to afford a million yuan. ”
It turned out that this middle-aged man's name was Huang Jianli, and he was a somewhat famous antique dealer who was familiar with Cai Haixing and knew Shi Xiaolin.
Before Chen Yunhan and Tang Xin arrived at the villa, Huang Jianli had already joined forces with another antique dealer surnamed Li, ready to use the "kick" transaction method to package and buy the pile of antiques and calligraphy and paintings in Shi Xiaolin's house.
Shi Xiaolin's psychological price for this pile of antique calligraphy and paintings is 3 million yuan. However, Huang Jianli and the antique dealer surnamed Li insisted on paying only two million yuan.
Originally, Shi Xiaolin also expected Chen Yunhan to bring a powerful treasure connoisseur over, and strive to find one or two high-value collections in that pile of antique characters, and then bargain with Huang Jianli and Lao Li to sell for a little more money.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yunhan brought a boy with no hair on his mouth over, and kept saying that he had very magical treasure appreciation skills, which disappointed Shi Xiaolin, and he had no interest in appraising the collection at all.
So, she said to Huang Jianli very depressedly: "Mr. Huang, I will come in and sign a contract with you immediately." Two million is two million, it's better than selling it as scrap. ”
