"I believe in you!"

Wei Tong readily agreed, and accepted Jiang Lai's seemingly extremely unreasonable condition.

Accept the final restoration result, whether it is good or bad, and accept it unconditionally.

You know, this is the ancestral treasure of the Wei family, according to the current market valuation...... I'm afraid that 50 million yuan may not be able to get it. Six years ago, Christie's Hong Kong auctioned a white jade dragon king statue with a height of only 18 centimeters, and the price reached more than 19 million Hong Kong dollars. The most important thing is that at that time, the Hong Kong dollar was still worth more than the renminbi, which was equivalent to the price of more than 20 million yuan when converted into renminbi.

In recent years, prices have soared, and the transaction price of the antique market has also hit new highs, and the unit price of 100 million yuan has been auctioned at every turn...... It is really difficult to predict what kind of sky-high price this statue of the white jade dragon king of the Song Dynasty can be auctioned at auction.

After all, people can only control their own wallets, but not other people's wallets.

I am willing to buy it, what if a rich man sees the right eye, likes it very much, and is willing to get it at any cost?

What's more, there are cunning "businessmen" like Shi Daochen behind him, as if not taking it down is the biggest loss in life, and after this village, there will be no store...... Why did you scold Shi Daozhi again?

Tens of millions of treasures are delivered to you, say take them and play with them...... I'll pay you if you play well, and I'll pay if you don't play well.

To be honest, Jiang Lai's heart was very moved.

Death for a confidant.

Jiang Lai didn't want to die, so he had to find a way to restore this statue of the White Jade Dragon King to perfection.

Jiang Lai looked at Wei Tong with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "The king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay him as a countryman." ”

Wei Tong laughed heartily, and the fat on both chins trembled, and said, "If someone else makes such a request to me, I will ignore it." I have done a lifetime of business and drafted a lifetime of contracts, and as a big party member, I always try my best to make the opponent suffer...... I have never suffered such a big loss. However, since it was you Jiang Lai who proposed it, and there is an old friend of Chengzhi sitting in front of me, I am willing to let you give it a try. ”

"But......" Yun Cheng's heart was apprehensive, but he hesitated. As Jiang Lai's uncle, he can't persuade now, and he can't persuade if he doesn't.

However, if Jiang Lai is not persuaded to take over so rashly, it will be fine if it is repaired, but it will not be repaired...... How will Jiang Lai end up? With such a valuable piece of jade, Jiang Lai can't be compensated out of his own pocket, right?

Young people, hold your breath!

"Chengzhi, it's okay. Don't you often persuade me to give young people more opportunities, don't you?" Wei Tong knew that his old friend was in a dilemma in the middle, and he spoke out to comfort him.

"Jiang Lai, you must be cautious. Yun Chengzhi commanded. "If there is something you are not sure about, you can discuss it with me, or you can talk to your grandfather Wei directly....... Your grandfather Wei is also an old collector, and he is clear about the restoration and identification of antiques, and he can speak clearly. ”

He first helped Jiang Lai recognize Wei Tong as a "grandfather", climbed a relative, and brought the relationship between them closer, so that when there was really something wrong with the repair results, it would be easy to get over......

"I know. Jiang said. He felt that Yun Chengzhi was doing this too much, just now Wei Tong asked Wei Ying to call Yun Chengzhi's grandfather, Wei Ying didn't call it, but now he asked himself to call Wei Tong's grandfather...... In this way, I am not the same generation as Wei Ying?

"Jiang Lai, since we have negotiated the conditions, then I want to ask, how long will it take to restore this white jade dragon king statue?" Wei Tong looked at Jiang Lai and asked.

Jiang Lai's gaze shifted to the white jade dragon king statue with a broken dragon horn in the box, looked at it seriously again for a while, and said, "Three or five hours." If it goes well, it may not take that much. ”

"How long?" Wei Tong was so startled that he almost jumped up from the couch. He thought that it would take ten days and half a month to repair such a heavy weapon. I was still wondering whether to let Jiang Lai bring back the statue of the White Jade Dragon King or let him come to work every day...... He was a little worried about bringing it back, and let him come to work every day, but he was afraid that Jiang Lai would not agree. He's learned that this kid isn't a good guy to get along with.

As a result, he said that he would be able to succeed in three or five hours, doesn't that mean that this white jade dragon king statue doesn't even need to go out of the gate of the Wei family?

"Three or five hours. Jiang said: "The short is three hours, the long is five hours." Here's my estimate, it depends. ”

"Jiang Lai......" Wei Tong considered the words in his heart, and said with a smile: "Actually, don't be so anxious, this device...... I don't usually use it, it's just a thing. Even if it's repaired, it's still there to look good......"

"I know you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry. Jiang said, "I have other things to do. ”

“......”

The emotional family didn't take this white jade dragon king statue seriously in their hearts, so they hurriedly finished their work and went to do other things......

Wei Ying sneered and said, "Grandpa, I'll just say it, he doesn't know how to repair at all, how can you put our family's ancestral White Jade Dragon King in the hands of such a person...... What if it breaks?"

Wei Tong raised his crutches and was about to whip him, but Wei Ying was so frightened that he quickly dodged.

"Don't you see? Jiang Lai is confident........" Wei Tong and Jiang Lai's eyes looked at each other, and in that look was firmness, calmness, and calmness in everything. "Cheng, then this statue of the White Jade Dragon King will be handed over to you. Your uncle and I are sitting here chatting and drinking, waiting for good news. ”

"Shall we sign a contract?" Jiang Lai asked. If there is no contract restriction, he will shatter his statue of the White Jade Dragon King, and he will not be able to find himself to bear any responsibility.

Signing the contract is actually to protect the Wei family and this white jade dragon king statue......

Wei Tong waved his hand and said, "I said, I believe in you, and you are worthy of my trust." Go to work. ”

"If there is a restoration room, please take me to the restoration room........" Jiang Lai's perception of Wei Tong went to the next level, no wonder he was able to achieve extraordinary careers, and said: "If not, give me a quiet and private room, I brought my own toolbox." ”

"Wei Ying, take Jiang to the tea room. It was quiet there. Wei Tong said.

Wei Ying had no choice but to pack the white jade dragon king statue into a box, and took Jiang Lai to the tearoom on the second floor with the mahogany box.

Wei Ying put the box on the tea table, and then sat on the chair and prepared to boil water to make tea, he was ready to keep an eye on Jiang Lai next to him, supervise his repair process on the spot, and stop it in time if there was any problem.

Jiang Lai pointed to the door and said, "You go out." By the way, help close the door. ”

"Why should I go out?"

"Because I don't want to see you. ”

“......”

"You're here to affect my mood. I'm in a bad mood, and it's not good to fix things. Jiang said, "Who will bear this result?"

Wei Ying thought for a moment, pushed away his chair and got up to leave.

Jiang Lai walked over and locked the door, and after calming down for a while, he opened the mahogany box, put the statue of the white jade dragon king on top of the closed lid, and then stared at the jade carving, motionless, as if in a trance.

-------

Wei Ying went and returned, and Wei Tong reprimanded: "Why didn't you stay to take care of Jiang Lai? Pour a cup of tea or something...... Why don't you understand the etiquette of hospitality?"

Wei Ying was full of grievances, but he was reluctant to say things like "Jiang said that I am here to affect his mood", and explained: "I asked, Jiang said that he didn't need it. He likes to be quiet when he works. ”

"Hmm. Wei Tong was a little satisfied, and said: "Just now your grandfather Cheng said, Jiang Lai's work habit is to get up every half hour to rest for ten minutes, you just go over every half hour to say hello to see if he needs any help, pour water when he is thirsty, send food when he is hungry, don't let Jiang Lai be distracted." ”

"Yes. Wei Ying agreed in a muffled voice. still has to be called Yun Chengzhi's grandfather, who is a generation shorter in front of Jiang Lai...... Lucky Jiang Lai was not in front of him, so he didn't feel too embarrassed.

Yun Chengzhi looked at Wei Tong and said, "Old Wei, this is a big deal, you can't be ambiguous." Jiang Lai is young and vigorous, and his temperament is stubborn...... You can also follow his temperament?"

"Chengzhi, what kind of person do you think Jiang Lai is?" Wei Tong looked at Yun Chengzhi and asked out loud.

Yun Chengzhi wanted to be subtle, but he couldn't help but show a proud smile on his face, and said, "Old Wei, do I usually say less in front of you? This kid is a genius." My junior brother is called "Jiang Ghost Hand", and he uses the authentic icing on the cake technique of the Jiang family, and I am related to the Jiang family, so I also learned some fur ......"

"There is an old saying in our industry, which is called: the door is open, it is better to be as fine. People's time and energy are limited, and it is impossible to learn everything, and it is impossible to learn everything well. I like to repair books, so I focus on ancient books. My brother likes porcelain, so he focuses on porcelain. In the hands of this kid, he likes everything and wants to learn everything...... If it had been left before, it would have been whipped. The old ancestors couldn't learn all the things, how many pounds and taels do you have?

"Greed can't chew too much, this sentence is a muse in him. Hey, guess what's wrong with this kid? Repair books, porcelain, copper and jade, it's proficient in everything. No, it should be said that it is a one-size-fits-all approach. "The icing on the cake" is an esoteric knowledge discipline, and it is also the vast technical guidance of Pang Bo, let's compare it to a big basket, which has been passed down for so many generations, and the apprentices and grandchildren all take a skill from the basket to practice, and this kid has moved the whole basket away......"

"When my junior brother was still alive, every time he wrote to me, he said that his son was a genius and that he was the one who couldn't revive the 'icing on the cake' technique...... The younger brother has a dull temperament and rarely praises people, but he is full of praise for his son. It was precisely because he found that Jiang Lai, a kid, was talented in this area, so he was extremely strict with him. I've tried to persuade me countless times, but I'm afraid it won't work...... My son has become a talent, but unfortunately my junior brother can't look at it, and he is also a ...... who is not blessed."

"According to you, he's an all-rounder?" Wei Ying said sarcastically.

There are many "talents" in this world, but who dares to say that they are proficient in everything? Therefore, most people remove the "king" under the word "all" and be a "talent among people" is enough, who dares to say that they are "the king of people"?

However, Jiang Lai, who heard from Yun Chengzhi's mouth, wasn't that the "king of people"?

"As far as the field of antique restoration is concerned...... Yun Chengzhi looked at Wei Ying and said with a firm face: "He is an all-rounder. ”

“......”

Wei Ying has seen it now. The little ones are shameless, and the old ones are no better. There is not a good person in this family.

Needless to say, Jiang Lai's technique is, in his words, "he hasn't failed." As for character, there is a saying in the industry that I don't know if you have heard? There is one thing to say, never to lie. Mr. Jiang's golden signboard is well-known in the whole industry......"

Wei Tong looked at Yun Chengzhi with a smile and said, "Chengzhi, since Jiang Lai has excellent skills and reliable character, why can't we trust him?

Yun Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Wei Tong and said, "Okay, old Wei, it turns out that your pit is waiting for me here......"

"I am the spear of the son, the shield of the attacker......"

The two old guys were flattering each other, and the guard camp couldn't listen anymore.

He wants to go!

He wants to drink!

He wants to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows!

"Wei Ying, watch for a moment. Go and see Jiang Lai every half an hour......" Wei Tong glanced at Wei Ying's uneasy appearance, and commanded loudly.

"Yes, Grandpa. Wei Ying agreed.

Minutes and seconds passed. Wei Tong and Yun Chengzhi drank a few pots of tea, and the conversation was already dry, but Jiang Lai had not come out yet.

Wei Tong arranged dinner again, a bowl of noodles with mixed sauce, with a few light side dishes. In order to pass the boring time, the two old men even drank two taels of Moutai each. Jiang Lai still didn't come out.

Of course, in this process, Wei Ying visited several times in the past. Except for sending two bottles of water in, Jiang Lai refused all care...... The White Jade Dragon King has not been repaired, and he will not come out.

After dinner, Wei Tong and Yun Chengzhi sat on the sofa in the living room again and drank tea, occasionally saying a word, and then there was a long silence.

From time to time, their eyes focused on the exquisite ancient clock in the corner, calculating how long time had passed, and how long it was still before Jiang Lai came out......

Jiang said that it was as short as three hours, and as long as five hours, and now that four hours have passed, Jiang Lai should be about to come out.

When I drank the second course of the aged pu'er in the teapot, I finally heard the familiar sound of footsteps from the staircase.

Jiang Lai held the mahogany box in both hands and walked over with a tired face.

Wei Ying quickly greeted him and asked, "It's repaired?"

And then. Jiang Lai handed over the mahogany box.

Wei Ying stretched out his hand, but quickly retracted it and said, "It's better for you to hold it...... I'll just take care of the acceptance. ”

He didn't take it, what if Jiang Lai didn't fix it, but said that he was holding it badly?

"Hey, why is this trick so familiar...... I think I've seen ...... somewhere."

Yun Chengzhi also stood up, looked at Jiang Lai with a worried face, and asked, "Jiang Lai, it's repaired?"

"It's fixed. Jiang Lai said briskly.

Wei Tong also wanted to stand up, but he was too excited to think of it, and it looked like he didn't believe that people could fix it...... Although he was also worried in his heart, he couldn't wait to open the lid of the box immediately to see it.

Jiang Lai put the mahogany box in front of Wei Tong and said, "Mr. Wei, please accept it." ”

"Okay, I believe you ......" Wei Tong said with a smile, reaching out to open the lock, lifting the lid of the box, and then the smile on his face instantly froze......

Wei Ying saw that his grandfather's face was wrong, and he glanced over, his pupils were dilated, his face was full of anger, and he was about to rush up and fight Jiang Lai desperately.

Yun Chengzhi knew that something was wrong, and looked down at the White Jade Dragon King, and said "groan" in his heart, something bad happened......

"Jiang Lai, are you repairing or destroying?" Wei Ying shouted.
