Chapter 56: Mingshui

"What, just entered the industry?" Ming Lao obviously didn't believe it, and was very surprised.

"That's right. ”

"Hehe, since Xiaoyou doesn't want to say it, then the old man naturally won't be more pressurized. Ming Lao lowered his head, waved his hand, and motioned for me to come over.

"Handan friend, do you know what kind of stone this stone is?" Ming Shui pushed the jade that had two windows on the table in front of me.

After looking at it for a long time, I shook my head, I don't know.

Mingshui took out a bright flashlight from his pocket, "You're watching." ”

He turned on the flashlight switch, and a beam of white light shot out. In stark contrast to the dimness of this room.

Under the illumination of the strong light, the opening window of the jadeite rough stone penetrates from the beginning to the end, and the pure green light is incomparably intoxicating, but in the green light, there is still a slight purple light.

"Ming Lao, this is..."There is still material in this?

Mingshui nodded at me and extinguished the flashlight.

"The jadeite in this is even more than the glass on the outside. The reason why I called you here is because I don't want to cause too much of a stir outside. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of here. ”

"That's it, little friend. You take this stone back first. Come back tomorrow, and tomorrow afternoon there will be a municipal auction here. At that time, well-known domestic experts will come to the venue for identification. Fan also plucked his eyes off. The old face revealed excitement and satisfaction.

Tomorrow, I promised that Yunzhongjin would go to the Kyoto Gambling Stone Cultural Festival, what should I do?

As if seeing my hesitation, Mingshui asked softly, "I wonder if Xiaoyou has anything unspeakable?"

"Oh, it's okay, I'll be here tomorrow afternoon!" I said with a smile and a nod.

...

Mingshui lit the flashlight again, held the stone and looked at it carefully for a while, then took out a large lockbox and carefully loaded the stone into it.

After walking out of the room, I said goodbye to Mingshui briefly, and walked out of the gambling stone field with Yun Zhongjin and them.

"How is it, Brother Handan, what kind of stone is this?" On the way, Yun Zhongjin rubbed his palms and stared at the box in my hand and kept asking.

"What's wrong with the glass species?"

"What?glass species?, what's wrong with you?" Yun Zhongjin was shocked.

"What's wrong? "I pretended to be calm and joked.

"Do you know what that means?" Yun Zhongjin took a deep breath and calmed down.

"What are you talking about? Isn't that just a stone?" I stifled a smile as I looked at Yun Zhongjin's frantic look.

"If it's an ordinary jade stone, it's fine, but it's nothing. This is a piece of the best jade of glass water! This means that its value has doubled!"

"I know, well, the old gentleman in the back room has already told me about these things you are talking about. ”

"By the way, you reminded me. ”

"What?"

"Do you know who the old gentleman who just took you into the back room is?" Yun Zhongjin's face suddenly changed, and he said with a straight face.

"Did he tell you what his name was?"

"The old gentleman said it was called Mingshui. ”

"You can't go wrong. He was the chief jade antique appraiser and stone cutter in China three years ago, and he has seen countless treasures in his life. ”

"What are you kidding me, if you have this background, you will still be a little stone cutter in this small field?" Although I guessed from the beginning that Ming Lao was not an ordinary person, this was too exaggerated.

Three years ago, Mingshui attended a world-class antiques auction, and many famous Chinese and foreign artists came to Kyoto to participate in this auction. A piece of Shang Dynasty glazed jade jade identified by Ming Shui's own hand was auctioned for a sky-high price of 20 million US dollars!"

"How do you know?"

"Because I was there at the time. Yun Zhongjin looked strangely excited, "It's a pity! The piece of jade identified by him is an imitation." After being auctioned, it caused huge losses to the buyers, and the goods were empty. Since then, Mingshui has been banned for life by the Chinese Antiques Association. ”

"What kind of empty money and goods?"

"I don't know, how do I know what is going on inside them. This is also something that I heard from others in their leisure time. Afterwards, Mingshui went incognito to a small field in Kyoto and became an ordinary stone cutter. I'm afraid he can reveal his real name to you, I'm afraid it's a little interesting for you kid?"

"Imitationsβ€”how could a world-class master appraiser make such a mistake? There must be a reason for that. ”

Everyone in the antique world knows that there are ghosts in it, but there is no evidence, so they can only stop there. Yun Zhongjin shook his head and sighed.

"Hmm... There is no clear evidence for this kind of thing, and no one can say it. By the way, just now Ming Lao invited me to an auction tomorrow afternoon, and he said that he would give us a concrete value for this stone at that auction, and I agreed. ”

"What about the Gambling Stone Cultural Festival in Kyoto?"

It can be seen that Yun Zhongjin is not very willing.

"After all, it was Master Mingshui's personal invitation, and I couldn't refute his face at that time. Think about it, if such a master-level figure can look up to this auction, maybe there is something good?"

"Hmm... Okay, let's check it out tomorrow. ”

I didn't expect this Yun Zhongjin to agree so easily, I smiled slightly, and took Lintong and them back to the space-time pawnshop behind Yun Zhongjin.

...

The next day, the noon sun was really scorching, and we were still a group of four people who came to yesterday's gambling stone field again under the scorching sun.

"Handan little friend!" I heard someone calling out to me behind me. Turning my head, a white figure came into view.

"Old Ming!" I bowed slightly.

Today's Mingshui has changed from normal, with a white Canali suit and a pair of white leather shoes. This old man is simply a trendsetter at the forefront of the trend!

"Haha! Handan Xiaoyou, did you bring the stone?" Ming Shui looked behind me and nodded slightly at Yun Zhongjin.

"Brought it. I lifted my arms, and there were layers of stone wrapped in satin.

"Okay, come with me! The old man will take you to meet someone. ”

"Who?"

"Come with me. ”

Following Mingshui, he turned a few corridors and came to a rosewood door.

Tsk, being rich is capricious, and you dare to use anything to make a door. Suddenly, I was full of anticipation to see what was sacred living inside the door.

Mingshui directly pushed open the doorknob, and the scene inside surprised me even more. This is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom suite, which is not too big.

From the door to the inside, the jade and jade bricks are paved all the way. There is a red sandalwood log square table next to the door, on which is a complete set of purple sand tea sets. A gilded dragon table in the center of the living room. In front of the table are two Italian rhinoceros leather sofas. A full set of furniture carved by European masters, and a headlamp with 24 sparkling diamonds carved overhead......
