Chapter 16O Something Natural

After looking at several shelves in a row, Zheng Zheng also admired the meticulousness of the ancestors of the Xie family in summarizing antiques. The value of the things on each shelf is about the same, and there is only a slight difference in one range.

The first shelf contains about 100,000 things but not more than 200,000, the second shelf is about 200,000 things but not more than 300,000, and the third shelf is 300,000 things that do not exceed 400,000...... The further back you go, the less things are on the shelves, but the more expensive the individual is. Take the things on a shelf that Zheng Zheng just saw, there are a total of more than a dozen things on that shelf, but if any one of them is taken out, even if it is sold at a discount according to the price of black goods, it will not be less than one million, and there are a few rare antiques with a value of more than 1.5 million. The items on such a shelf alone are worth more than 10 million yuan.

Roughly calculated, the antiques on the shelves that Zheng Zheng has checked add up, and the value is almost more than 40 million, which is a huge amount, and Zheng Zheng, who has counted this result, can't help but gasp.

However, although these things are worth so much, there is still a problem of monetization. It is unrealistic to want to sell so many things at once, and if you want to sell it, you can only get together with buyers in need to sell one. In other words, this antique worth 40 million is equivalent to a passbook that does not know when it can be withdrawn, and how much money can be withdrawn depends on luck.

However, only about 70 percent of the shelves that Zheng Zheng has inspected, and there are at least thirty percent of the shelves that Zheng Zheng has not inspected. And on these, there are only five or six boxes at most, and most of them are iron shelves with only one or two boxes. According to the habit of the ancestors of the Xie family to summarize things, the value of the things on these shelves should be higher.

Zheng Zheng opened a box with all his might, and after taking a closer look at the contents inside, Zheng Zheng was a little unsure of the price of this thing.

This is a jade flying dragon of a certain length of feet, the whole is crystal clear, but the color is not particularly good, it can only be regarded as medium among medium. However, this flying dragon is extremely rare, that is, its four claws look hollow, and there is a little clear water inside each dragon claw, and the clear water in the dragon claws also shakes gently between the gentle shaking, just like a dragon walking in water.

Zheng Zheng brought the flying dragon closer to the searchlight to take a closer look, but he didn't find any clues at the dragon's claws and body. It is extremely difficult to do anything on this transparent jadeite, and if it is glued together in the later stage, it is easy to see the flaws with the naked eye. But no matter how Zheng Zheng looked at it, the four claws of this flying dragon did not have the slightest trace of late bonding, and it was completely one with the dragon's body.

In other words, the clear water in these four dragon claws was present when this flying dragon was carved, and it was completely created by nature. This is extremely rare, and what is even more rare is that the carver did not carve the slightest mistake when carving this dragon, and did not destroy the four points of clear water contained in the jadeite rough stone. If the jade rough stone falls into the hands of someone else, this four-point clear water like a stroke of genius will be ruined alive.

"Tut-tut......" Zheng Zheng gently shook the flying dragon in his hand, looking at the four points of clear water swaying in the dragon's claws, and sighed.

Xie Miao didn't understand much on the side. Seeing Zheng Zheng frowning and snorting, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's difficult, it's too difficult. Zheng Zheng shook his head, put the flying dragon in his hand into the box and put it away, and said, "This thing can't be priced at all, don't you think it's very difficult?"

Seeing that Xie Miao didn't understand very well, Zheng Zheng explained: "In terms of materials and carving, this jade flying dragon can only be said to be average, and the benefit is nothing more than a little bigger, but the four points of water in the dragon's claws that are naturally generated, and have not been lost later, are not ordinary." You must know that no matter how well you do it the day after tomorrow, it is still acquired, and it is not at the same level as this kind of congenital generation. And who has ever seen this kind of 'water hidden in a stone'? So the price...... It's really hard to define. ”

Putting down the box, Zheng Zheng turned his hand and opened another box, and after looking at the contents of the box, he couldn't help but smile and said: "This really can't stand the chatter, what do you say...... I just said that acquired is not as good as congenital generation, which immediately gave me a congenital generation...... Gee. ”

Inside the box was a stone the size of a wine box, which was extremely irregular and angular, and looked like it had not been polished in the slightest. There is a touch of turquoise in the corner of this stone, which looks like a living dragon head, and under the dragon head there is a dragon claw that is half exposed, and the scale claws are clearly visible.

"It's supposed to be naturally generated. Look at this faucet, there is not a trace of a knife on it, it is all the effect of weathering or water flow of stones for many years. This stone should be a piece of jade ore rough, and the surface is still a layer of stone, and this turquoise dragon head is formed by the jade after the stone on the surface has been weathered and washed away. ”

Zheng Zheng pointed to the stone without any traces of man, and said, "There is a way that 'the dragon sees the head but does not see the tail'...... This dragon head and this half-exposed scale claw are exactly attached to this sentence, and what is even more rare is that this is a naturally formed thing...... Tsk, it's too hard to put a price on this thing. If others think that this turquoise point is a dragon head, then the price is high, but if the buyer does not recognize this as a dragon head and only regards it as a piece of jade rough stone, then the price is just like that, not high. ”

"Then ...... this thing," Xie Miao asked tentatively.

Zheng Zheng knew what she wanted to ask, shook his head and nodded, and said, "This thing, including the previous flying dragon, is a rare treasure, but it can't be regarded as a valuable treasure." The reason why the ancestors of the Xie family put these things here should also be because the innate beings on these things are relatively rare. Judging from this point alone, the ancestors of the Xie family are still very tasteful, not only picking valuable things, but also very stylish. ”

After chatting some gossip, Zheng Zheng took a breath and looked at all the remaining shelves that had not been checked. As expected, the rest of the shelves are basically things that are rare to see but not easy to price.

The main reason for the confusion of this antique shop is that the price of antiques is not easy to define, so the market transactions are relatively chaotic. However, in the industry, the transaction in the antique shop is still relatively formal and clear, after all, what is the approximate price of what age and what is the price of each person, and the pricing is not chaotic.

However, these things left by the ancestors of the Xie family really stumped the insiders of the antique shop, and it was really difficult to price these things, and the key was that there was no specific measurement standard to define. Is it by age, or by material, or by the more mysterious concept of "innate generation"? But who is going to buy it?

So the remaining 30 percent of the stuff has to face a problem, that is, you can shout a high price, but there may not be someone who buys it. Although there will be a lot of attention to the gimmick of "congenital natural generation", it is destined that not many people will be interested in this kind of thing that is difficult to sell and difficult to price.

After checking the things on these shelves, Zheng Zheng also spent about two hours, and Zheng Zheng was not familiar with some things, so he had to think about it carefully to know it. When he was busy, he didn't show anything, and after this inspection was over, Zheng Zheng felt thirsty and hungry. He took out compressed biscuits and mineral water from his backpack and gave them to Xie Miao, and the two of them sat in the stone room to eat and drink.

Zheng Zheng talks well, Xie Miao is almost, he is always a little absent-minded when chatting, and he seems to have a lot of things on his mind. Zheng Zheng could see some of it when he looked at it from the side, but he didn't ask in detail, what people are willing to think about is someone else's business, and it really has nothing to do with him.

Besides, anyone who suddenly learns that he has become a millionaire as soon as he turns around, everyone has to think about his future life, right? In Zheng Zheng's opinion, Xie Miao's preoccupied appearance is completely normal, so he didn't think about it. As everyone knows, Xie Miao's heart happens to have an inseparable relationship with Zheng Zheng.

After eating and drinking, Zheng Zheng stretched his waist and stood up, and walked to the side of the big boxes with Xie Miao.

There were five boxes in total, just the size of a man curled up on his legs. The box is made of iron, but after a long time, the iron box will inevitably rust, Zheng Zheng touched a few handfuls and touched a hand of rust.

The iron box was unlocked, Zheng Zheng lifted the lid of the box, but found that there was a small mahogany box inside the iron box. After opening the lid of the mahogany box, Zheng Zheng felt a little funny and angry: That's right, there is an iron box that is one size smaller in this wooden box.

"I.fuck, can it still be a box with a box? What kind of bad taste is this?" Zheng Zheng opened the lid of the iron box while sneering, and after seeing what was inside, Zheng Zheng couldn't get angry, and could only sigh that the things in this world really can't stand the chatter - inside the iron box is a smaller wooden box.

Zheng Zheng shook his head in resignation, and one lid after another was lifted, and eight boxes were opened. These boxes are also made of iron and wood, and the wooden ones are covered with iron and so cycled, which is particularly regular.

After lifting the last lid, the contents of the box finally appeared. It was a long mahogany box two feet long and five inches wide, and the red paint on the box was still bright, not at all like it had been in this place for decades.

"This layer of protection, what will be in here?" With questions, Zheng Zheng opened the mahogany box.
