Peng Yanzu took a sip of the rebrewed tea handed over by his granddaughter, leaned back on the Taishi chair and asked Chen Xing: "Mr. Chen doesn't seem to be very old, how old is the old idiot, don't mind if I call you Brother Chen?"

Chen Xing hurriedly shook his head, where is this, and said: "The old gentleman said that he laughed, I just turned 20 this year, Mr. might as well call me Ah Xing or Alex directly." ”

Then he tentatively said in Chinese: "The old gentleman's surname is Peng, is his ancestor a Chinese?"

Peng Yanzu glanced at his granddaughter and said with emotion in Chinese with a southern Fujian accent: "Yes, our Peng family's ancestral home is Quanzhou Mansion in Fujian Province, China, and it has been almost two hundred years since we settled in Singapore. Ah Xing Chinese is so standard, ...... is that?"

Chen Xing's heart was different: "Is it such a coincidence? It's also from Quanzhou Mansion?"

Then he said: "That's really fateful, I am a person from Longjiang Province in Northeast China, and my ancestors are also from Quanzhou Mansion in Fujian Province, according to genealogical records, about 300 years ago, it was the early years of Kangxi, and I migrated to the Northeast for some reason, and finally settled in Longjiang until now." ”

Peng Yanzu bowed his head slightly and said: "Most of the Chinese people from Southeast Asian countries are from Guangdong, Guizhou and Fujian provinces, but it is really rare to meet fellow villagers in Longjiang here. Then I won't say anything out of sight. ”

After taking a sip of tea, the old gentleman pointed to the things in the tray and said, "Ah Xing, you are here to sell these items, it seems that you don't know the doorway here, don't blame me for being cautious, is it convenient to tell me the ins and outs?"

Chen Xing really didn't know the way to buy and sell antiques, where it was as simple as he imagined, and how complicated the relationship between the risks he took and the relationship that he needed to deal with, he didn't know anything. Those antique objects that can be placed on the counter or can be auctioned must have a provenance, whether they are real or fabricated, they must stand up to official scrutiny.

How many black and white people, for the root of the source, weave a big net, do everything possible, quote scriptures, rack their brains to run around, and contribute, just for the four words "root source". As long as there is an officially certified source, then the next value is a matter of course, and everything revolves around "interests".

Those certificates, evidences, certificates, and all other official documents, you don't care how they are issued, just be recognized and accepted by everyone, this is the rule, the rule of the game on the road, and this is also the rule, the rule of life of human social groups.

If Yi Yaxuan accepts Chen Xing's things and the way is clear, then there will be no problem, and everyone will get rich together. If the way is not right, then we have to talk about it well, these 100-year-old antique shops are not open in vain, what kind of people and things have not been experienced! The name of overseas Hongmen for hundreds of years is not a joke.

Objects of unknown origin or harmful nature, Yi Ya Xuan will resolutely not accept them, and will even inform the door of Singapore to investigate them, for so many years, such incidents have not happened rarely.

But some lucky people have encountered a windfall, but they really can't trace the source, then there are still means to solve and launder in the industry, and the net that binds the interests of everyone is doing this.

Although there are eye-catching and misjudgments, after all, they are a minority, and there is a reason why Yi Yaxuan has been inherited for a hundred years.

Of course, in the final judgment of the character of the person who comes to sell the object and the authenticity of the source of the object, it is necessary to study the skill of the old gentleman. This involves many conditions such as one's own character, life experience, and treasure appreciation skills, otherwise how many people in the world can be called masters?

Chen Xing pondered for a while, took out three documents from his pocket and handed them to the old gentleman, which he had prepared for the sale of these items: passport, seafarer's certificate, and translation certificate.

The old gentleman looked at it briefly and handed it to his granddaughter.

When Peng Ruomei was looking through it, Chen Xing said to the old gentleman: "I am a Russian translator who serves a purse seine fishing boat that fishes for tuna in the Indian Ocean, and our fishing boat is overhauled in Singapore these days, so I have a few days of free time. ”

Seeing Peng Ruomei nodding in confirmation at the old gentleman, Chen Xing continued: "The jade pendant and gold coins were obtained from the shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, as for the method, it is inconvenient for me to say more, please understand." ”

He picked up the two red and sapphire stones and rubbed them, paused and said, "These two gems are from the ancient city of Anuradapura in Sri Lanka. A terrorist group was there to shoot at us, and I countered them and let me get them. Having them, I have a clear conscience. ”

Looking at the puzzled looks of the two, Chen Xing briefly talked about what happened on the way back to Colombo, Sri Lanka, but skipped some characters and details, and did not mention the results of the terrorists he countered.

When they heard that the terrorist organization was Sri Lanka's "Tamil Tigers", both grandparents and grandchildren nodded knowingly, after all, this incident caused a stir a while ago, international news has been broadcasting, and Sri Lanka is still closed to Hong Kong. They were just surprised that Chen Xing was involved, although he was only a civilian, his experience and performance in the ancient city of Anuradapura were too surprising and admirable.

Peng Ruomei's eyes looked at Chen Xing with a strange look, such a young guy has experienced such a story, it's a bit magical.

Then Chen Xing said embarrassedly: "I can do a little boxing, and I can fight well." This barely explains that he can counter the actions of the terrorists.

The old gentleman didn't ask any more, although there were some details that Chen Xing didn't say, but through a short time together, through a brief communication, with his life experience, he chose to believe Chen Xing, even if Chen Xing seemed a little mysterious.

After taking another sip of Jin Junmei, which was a little cold, the old gentleman glanced at his granddaughter, and Peng Ruomei willingly brewed hot tea again, filling up her grandfather and Chen Xing respectively.

"I understand the basic situation, it's very risky to do our business, I hope you understand, Ah Xing. The old gentleman smiled and explained to Chen Xing, after all, such an interrogation will cause people to misunderstand and feel unhappy.

But with the improvement of Chen Xing's ability, his thinking and realm have also reached a certain height, and he really understands Peng Yanzu's concerns, and he also has a good feeling for his grandfather and grandson, so he chose what he can say and told the two, after all, whether to buy his objects or not, the choice is in Yi Yaxuan.

"It's okay Elder Peng, as long as it doesn't cause you trouble. Chen Xing also said with a smile.

The old gentleman put on his reading glasses again, pulled over the tray, put on his gloves, and said, "Then I will briefly tell you about these objects." ”

First picked up a piece of jade pendant and said: "Your two jade pendants, preliminarily judged to be Hetian jade pendants of the Southern Song Dynasty, the jade quality is very good, round and smooth, and it is the top mutton fat white jade." Because the jade carvings of this period were very delicate, the carved shapes were generally small, and the large jade objects were relatively rare. Because calligraphy and painting were particularly prosperous in that era, the jade carving style paid more attention to the similarity and the fit of demeanor. Like this is the Yunshan double crane pattern jade ornament, it combines the wings of the double crane with the image of the mountain tree cypress carved vividly, is a rare boutique. ”

After putting it down, he picked up another jade pendant and continued: "This is a lying deer pattern jade belt ring pendant, which connects the side lying deer with the birds, and surrounds it with streamers, which shows the exquisite skill of the jade craftsman and the exquisite craftsmanship of the jade carver, and it is the best of the best." The most rare thing is that these two jade pendants are taken from the sea, not from the underground, less rustic dyeing, maintaining perfect condition, and one of the value increases. It is not a historical thing from the underground, so that collectors have a lot less bad luck, and the psychology is easier to accept, and the second increase in value is really rare!"

Putting down the jade pendant and picking up the two gold coins again, the old gentleman said: "These two gold coins, if I read it correctly, are engraved with ancient Persian characters, and together with the monarch pattern of the crown on their heads, they should be from the Persian Sassanid era." The Sassanid Dynasty existed more than 1,000 years ago, which corresponds to the early Tang Dynasty in China. If memory serves, the same gold coin sold for $60,000 at Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong last year, making it the first time the coin was on display, but it was not as good as these two. ”

Chen Xingxin said: "Ancient Persia? Isn't that the current Iranian range, no wonder I didn't understand the text on it, it seems that Persian is also going to be learned, and the language of this Islamic country can't be unified?"

Finally, the old gentleman picked up the two gems and said: "As for these two gems, there is not much to say, modern technology cutting and polishing, first-class purity, perfect condition, is a first-class good goods." ”

Looking at Chen Xing, the old gentleman said, "In addition to gold coins and gems, I can give you an offer, jade pendant, it's hard to say." It is said that gold has a price and jade is priceless, and this is the truth. ”

Chen Xing pondered the old gentleman's evaluation of these items, thought about it for a while, and said, "Old Peng, I know that Yi Yaxuan is going to open the door to do business, and the purpose of collecting these items is to make money. I don't know much about these doorways, but your Peng family can be inherited here for more than 100 years, and I believe it makes sense. You can quote a total price, I believe you, no matter how much you sell in the future, that is what Yi Yaxuan deserves, I will never say more. ”

Seeing that Chen Xing was so straightforward, the old gentleman didn't say much anymore, sighed slightly, and said: "Two gold coins are 140,000 US dollars, two gems are 100,000 US dollars, and two jade pendants are 600,000 US dollars, a total of 840,000 yuan, what do you think?"

Chen Xing immediately stood up, stretched out his hand to the old gentleman, shook it heavily, and said with a smile: "Deal!", this is much higher than his estimated price, it seems that there is no need to ask Mingyue for money for the time being.

Peng Ruomei looked at Chen Xing strangely, and thought to herself: "Don't you even bargain?

The old gentleman also nodded secretly, and thought silently in his heart: "It seems that my judgment is correct, this son is very human!"

Since the store only had 100,000 dollars in cash, with Chen Xing's consent and at his request, Peng Ruomei drove Chen Xing to the UBS branch in Singapore. After opening an account, transfer the remaining $740,000. Coming here to open an account is because Chen Xing knows that Mingyue also uses this bank in France, which is convenient for the transfer of money in the future.

After completing all the relevant procedures, it was already 17:00 in the afternoon, Peng Ruomei wanted to take Chen Xing to dinner, but Chen Xing declined, and said that he would definitely come to Yi Yaxuan again to invite Peng Lao Zu and his grandson to dinner if he was free in the next few days.

Peng Ruomei was a little regretful, and left after sending Chen Xing to the dock.

Chen Xing took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and received the bag containing $100,000 in his hand into the ring, and finally had a bottom in his heart.

"Find time to continue your purchasing operations. I don't know if Peng Lao will accept other things there, there are still a lot of them there. It's really time to invite Yi Yaxuan's grandparents and grandchildren to dinner, and they may become regular customers in the future!" Chen Xing's mind jumped, and he thought happily.
