Chapter 70: The Pearl of the Night
"The young people's answers are very consistent, there are only two kinds, one thinks that the bloodstone seal is the most valuable, and the other thinks that the Qianlong seal has the highest value, and now that the Qianlong seal has been proven to be a restoration, the young people who think that the Qianlong seal is the most valuable, is there anyone who still insists on your opinion?" asked Deputy Director Li.
If the Qianlong seal is real, its market value is compared with the bloodstone seal, and it is really difficult to comment on who is higher and who is low.
But now it's different, the Qianlong seal has been restored, and once any antique is restored, the value will be greatly reduced immediately.
Anyone who knows a little about shareholders knows that the value of Qianlong's seal will at least fall by more than 30% on the basis of the original price.
"I insist, the most valuable is still the Qianlong seal!" As soon as Deputy Director Li's words fell, someone answered.
Why is it him again?
Is there something wrong with his brain?
Seeing the people who responded, everyone looked at Tang Yin who came out again with the eyes of concerned people with low IQs.
The Qianlong seal was repaired by Tang Yin, and now he has come forward and said that the Qianlong seal has the highest price, isn't there something wrong with his brain?
"Young man, are you a little carried away, as long as people with a little knowledge of antiques know that even if it is an intact Qianlong seal, its value can only be similar to that of the bloodstone seal, and now the Qianlong seal is not intact, of course the value will be greatly reduced. Boss Long was overjoyed, he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
The value of the restored Qianlong seal is far less than that of the bloodstone seal, which is almost a recognized fact.
In his opinion, Tang Yin definitely has the ability to see this clearly, so Tang Yin stood up and said that the seal was more valuable, which greatly surprised him.
"Tang Yin, won't you think about it anymore?" Boss Zhang looked at Tang Yin, although the Qianlong seal was his, he also hoped that the value would be higher, but as an old antique, he knew very well that the Qianlong seal had been repaired, and a big discount was inevitable.
The people present are all people in the antique circle, and they are also very aware of this, and it is impossible to be fooled.
He also has the same opinion as Boss Long, maybe Tang Yin was too excited to be in the limelight today, so that Tang Yin is a little floating now.
Sun Laogen also frowned, but Tang Yin had already walked out, and it was too late to call him back now.
Su Wanwan is different, she doesn't know much about antiques, but she is willing to believe Tang Yin, and believes that Tang Yin must have his reasons.
"Boss Long, you can't talk too much. Tang Yin said with a smile.
"Young man, you should be humble when you should be humble, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten, and the Qianlong seal after awakening can be sold for three million, and the intact bloodstone seal, if there is no seven million, you don't even want to inquire whether it is sold or not. "Ryugo thinks he's won.
Everyone else also nodded, and everyone recognized the price judged by Boss Long, even Boss Zhang was nodding.
As a person on the antique street, what they do is the business of antiques, and judging the price is only their basic skill.
Even if the price they judge is not exactly 3 million, there is some difference between the ups and downs, but the difference between the upper and lower levels will never be too much. ,
"Since you're so sure, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"You're still in the mood to bet with me?"
"That's right, since you judged it to be three million, now I will personally pay for it, and then I will prove that the Qianlong seal is more valuable, and after I prove it, everyone will come to evaluate it, if Boss Zhang sells the Qianlong seal to me at a price of three million, how much is the difference, how about you make up for it?" Tang Yin asked with a smile.
"Hmph, it's normal for the price of an antique to fluctuate up and down, and it's normal for there to be some price differences. "Boss Long didn't dare to pick up the stubble directly.
Although he thought that he had won, he was always a little lacking in confidence when facing Tang Yin.
After all, not long ago, he sold a jade inkstone to Tang Yin, but as soon as Tang Yin changed hands, he found that there was a golden inkstone inside.
"What you said also makes sense, since I brought you a range, within one million of the difference, I don't need you to make any compensation, but if the difference is more than one million, how about you make up for it?"
"Yes, but the price of the seal must exceed the price of the bloodstone seal, otherwise the bet will be invalid!" Boss Long said with a smile.
Boss Long is cheating!
Immediately, some people laughed disdainfully, and the conditions proposed by Boss Long were really excessive.
Even if it is a good Qianlong seal, and it is not a jade seal, the price can only be similar to the bloodstone seal, not necessarily exceeded.
If Tang Yin agreed, it would mean that Boss Long would be invincible.
"The surname is Long, don't you think your conditions are too much?" Sun Laogen stood up, of course he wanted to help his apprentice Tang Yin speak.
"Master, just rest on the sidelines, and leave everything to the apprentice!" Tang Yin smiled.
"You ......"
"Master, don't worry, I'm sure!" Seeing Sun Laogen's worried look, Tang Yin once again said that he was very confident that he could win the bet.
"Since you are sure, agree to my conditions!" Boss Long pressed up.
"I promise you the condition, the price of the seal exceeds the price of the bloodstone seal, otherwise you don't have to compensate for the difference, everyone can testify!" Tang Yin said with a smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all of you have heard it, it's not that I forced him, it's not that I bully the small, it's that he took the initiative to bet with me, and I can't complain about someone in Long!" Hearing that Tang Yin agreed, Boss Long was overjoyed, and this time he had no reason to lose.
Many people secretly shook their heads, sure enough, they are young people, and they are easy to float once they encounter good times.
Now Tang Yin is too floating, if he has any hope of winning the bet tomorrow, he actually dares to agree, isn't this looking for hardship?
"Boss Zhang, you also heard, three million to buy your seal, if you have no objection to the price, we will transfer it now, right?"
"The price is very fair!" Boss Zhang nodded.
Everyone is a person in the antique circle, and he knows very well the price of the restored Qianlong seal, even if he can sell more through his channels, the price is definitely not much higher, and he has no intention of collecting a restored product, since Tang Yin wants to buy it, he is also willing to sell it.
The transaction was completed smoothly!
"Now that the seal belongs to you, how can you prove that the seal can be sold for a higher price than the Bloodstone Seal?" After the transaction was completed, Boss Long was triumphant.
"Let me confirm first, Boss Long, if it's a difference of millions or tens of millions, do you have the ability to make up for it?"
"As long as you can prove that it is to smash the pot and sell iron, I will also make up the difference. ”
"I'm afraid that you won't be able to make up for it if you smash the pot and sell iron!"
"If he can't make up for it, we'll be responsible for it!" There are also people behind Boss Long, a few bosses who are very close to him.
In the antique street, there are also many gangs.
Sun Laogen, there are some like-minded new partners, Boss Long, and there are also some like-minded partners who are embarrassed.
In the case that Tang Yin had no hope of winning at all, Boss Long's partner did not mind standing up for him.
"Remember what you said......" of course smiled, smiling very proudly.
He put the Qianlong seal on the table, and then carefully rubbed the dragon head on the seal with his hand, and after a while, he heard a click.
Tang Yin picked up the seal, and everyone suddenly exclaimed!
Because I picked up the seal, there was a jade base left under the seal, and the base was also inlaid with some ebony, and there was a sphere on the ebony, which was much smaller than the seal, but it was also much larger than an egg, and the sphere was green, and there were wisps of natural lines on the surface.
"Are you magical?" Seeing a bead suddenly appear under the seal, Boss Long exclaimed in surprise for the first time.
Not only him, but others had the same doubts.
The seal is physical, how can a ball be conjured up underneath?
"Of course I'm not magical, but there is something in this Qianlong seal, can you see it clearly?" Tang Yin turned the seal in his hand upside down.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the inside of the seal had been hollowed out, and it was also inlaid with ebony, and the internal space was slightly larger than an egg.
Seeing this kind of talent, it became clear that it was not Tang Yin who was magical, but that there was something wrong with the seal itself.
"Even if you conjure up a bead, it can't be worth more than the Bloodstone Medallion, right?" After being surprised, Boss Long calmed down.
"Boss Long, don't you know this bead?" Tang Yin was not in a hurry at all.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this bead that is slightly larger than an egg?" Hearing Tang Yin's words, Boss Long's attention focused on the beads.
It looks like a natural green stone, with some textures on the surface, which basically excludes the possibility of man-made.
"It can't be the Pearl of the Night, right?" suddenly exclaimed someone behind the crowd.
"It does look like a night pearl, if it is really a night pearl, Boss Long may really lose. Someone spoke again.
The pearl of the night?
After such a prompt, Boss Long also recognized it.
The night pearl is a rare gemstone, and in ancient times it was called "with the pearl", "hanging pearl", "weeping thorn", "bright moon pearl" and so on.
When the Empress Dowager Cixi was buried, she finally contained a night pearl, which was worth more than 800 million.
Thinking of this, and hearing the discussion of the people around him, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Boss Long's forehead, and his face became a little pale.
If it's really the pearl of the night, this bet is really dangerous!
"I hope it's a low-quality night pearl!" Boss Long muttered in his heart, even the night pearl is divided into three, six, nine and so on, if the grade is low, it will be worthless, but now that it is placed on the table, no one has picked it up for identification, and it is difficult to determine the authenticity just by appearance, let alone the grade.
"Lao Liu, I remember that you are good at identifying gemstones, can you identify them?" When everyone was talking, Deputy Curator Li spoke.
"Okay, since you can trust me, let me take a look first!" An old man walked out of the crowd, looking to be in his sixties.
He cautiously picked up the green beads and looked at them carefully.
The people around him didn't dare to take a sip, because the old man's appraisal results would determine whether Boss Long would compensate millions.
Ten minutes passed, and the old man cautiously put the beads back!
"Old Liu, is it the Night Pearl? What level is it?" It's been more than ten minutes of waiting, and Boss Long is finally a little breathless, after all, the person who bets is him, and the person who may have to pay millions is him, and he can't wait as soon as the bead is put back.
