At 4 p.m., the closing price of Lui's Jewellery was fixed at HK$83.

At eight o'clock that night, Island World Hotel, Hong Kong.

The appreciation reception of Lei's Jewelry was held on time.

The listing of the company is not only the glory of the Lei family, but also the glory of the entire Hong Kong Island jewelry industry, and all the big names in the jewelry industry have come.

Chinese culture pays attention to the exchange of courtesy, and if this reception is held in the mainland, most of the guests will give gifts. However, on Hong Kong Island, it is not popular to give gifts, and it is usually a small gift to congratulate you.

Xie Anping sent a painting, Tang Zhihua sent a set of ancient porcelain tea sets, Qiao Shan sent a boxwood carving ornament, and Li Mingjun sent an oil painting.

The reception is a self-service format, which is convenient for everyone to communicate casually.

Cocktail parties on Hong Kong Island are often related to charity, and there are many charities on Hong Kong Island, as if you can't mix in high society without doing some charity.

Lei's Jewelry's cocktail party was no exception, and a charity sale was inserted on the spot, Lei's Jewelry donated two pairs of bracelets, one is Gao Bing Zhengyang green jade bracelet, weighing 85 grams, and the other is Tianzhou mutton fat white jade bracelet, weighing 88 grams.

Among jade jewelry, bracelets are generally the most expensive.

The main reason is that the bracelets are made of large materials, and jade materials are not easy to come out.

Charity bazaars generally do not set a floor price, and they are more or less arbitrary.

This kind of small game is just a fun, and Li Dongwen did not participate.

The jade bracelet was auctioned by a singer for 1.28 million Hong Kong dollars, which is quite normal, slightly lower than the market price, which is considered a small bargain.

The mutton fat white jade bracelet was auctioned at a super high price, 1.98 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan per gram.

Lei Ruiqiong was very surprised, and clearly smelled a smell of hype.

Three days later, the Yangcheng International Art Exchange Conference.

Xie Anping and Qiao Shan waited anxiously at the door of the Baiyun Hotel.

"Why hasn't Boss Li arrived yet? This exchange meeting is about to start. ”

His secretary said that he had already set off, probably in a traffic jam. ”

"Here it is, it's his Lincoln ......"

Li Dongwen rushed over from Pengcheng, and the full-time driver Wang Hongqi was not familiar with Yangcheng and was dizzy by the overpass here.

Zhou Daoping carried a handbag in one hand and a black box in the other, and followed behind Li Dongwen.

Qiao Shan said: "The exchange meeting is on the eighteenth floor, and there is a special exhibition hall for cold weapons, let's hurry up and go upstairs." ”

Everyone went up to the eighteenth floor, Xie Anping showed the invitation, and Miss Etiquette led the way in front and entered the venue.

Qiao Shan led everyone straight to the cold weapon exhibition hall and came to a booth.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is my friend, Padanglai, a weapons collector. ”

Qiao Shan introduced Li Dongwen and Xie Anping again.

This Padanglai, in his thirties, is of medium stature, with a strong build, and looks like a practitioner.

Ba Donglai stretched out his hands: "I have long heard of Boss Li's name, I am fortunate to be lucky! I also heard that Boss Li has a Xuanyuan sword, I don't know if I brought it?"

Li Dongwen shook hands with Ba Donglai, then turned around and waved, and Zhou Daoping handed over the box he was holding.

Padang came to see the box, which was only two feet long, and was a little disappointed.

He has already seen the videos and photos of the Xuanyuan sword, and the sword is more than three feet long, and this box is obviously not.

Qiao Shan saw his disappointment, and took the box, feeling heavy in his hand, knowing that the short sword should be in the box.

Qiao Shan put the box on the booth, and just about to open it, he saw a big fat man running over panting.

"Fat Liu, what's wrong with you?" Xie Anping recognized this fat man, who was the president of the Yangcheng Collectors Association.

Fat Liu took a breath and said, "I'm fine." I just watched a good show, and I'm happy. ”

Xie Anping is a master who loves to watch the excitement, so he asked: "What kind of show, let's listen to it." ”

Fat Liu Mei said with a smile: "When I see the Calligraphy and Painting Association making a fool, I want to laugh." ”

Xie Anping is a director of the Collectors Association, and he knows that the Yangcheng Calligraphy and Painting Association and the Yangcheng Collectors Association are at odds with each other.

The Calligraphy and Painting Association believes that the Collectors' Association is all dirt buns, a gang of nouveau riche, rich and uneducated, who do not understand art at all, and are purely vassal and elegant.

The Collectors Association also looks down on the Calligraphy and Painting Association, it is a group of calligraphers and painters, what kind of masters are pretending to be now, you are in the field of calligraphy and painting, are there any masters alive? We have a collection of ancient paintings and famous paintings, collect your paintings and calligraphy, hehe, wait until you die.

It is true that the painting and calligraphy market in these years is also the case, the works of the living are not valuable, unless they are old enough to die.

Xie Anping: "Don't sell it, hurry up." ”

Fat Liu pointed out: "Over there calligraphy and painting exhibition, the association of the group of grandsons, invited the capital Qi Lao to palm, which Cheng thought, Qi Lao does not look at calligraphy and painting, as soon as he comes in, he stares at Miss Etiquette, looks at the back of the chest, and finally bends over to stare at the butt of the young lady, haha, live out of an old rascal......

Xie Anping raised his eyes and swept around, beckoning to a lady of etiquette not far away.

Miss Manners looked left and right to confirm that Xie Anping was waving to her, so she walked over with a curvy voice.

Xie Anping looked her cheongsam up and down, which was the pattern of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix".

"Don't look at it, the silk produced by our Wuzhou company. Li Dongwen stopped Xie Anping's somewhat rude actions.

Xie Anping raised his head: "I just want to see what this looks like." ”

Fat Liu waved his hand and signaled that Miss Manners could go.

Miss Etiquette was baffled and a little disappointed, these guys let themselves come over, just to see the cheongsam they were wearing?

Xie Anping: "This pattern is really beautiful, especially when worn on women. ”

The cheongsam was just a small episode, and everyone quickly focused their attention on the black box.

Qiao Shan fiddled with the black box for a long time, but he didn't know the essentials, he didn't find the mechanism, and he didn't know how to open it.

This black box, the surface is black and shiny, like iron and non-iron, like wood and not wood, there are dark lines on it, it seems to be naturally formed, and it looks like a man-made portrayal, and it is a little indistinguishable.

The surface is so integrated that you can't see where the gaps are, and you want to open them, but you have nowhere to start.

Padanglai also picked up the box, looked through it carefully, and finally gave up in vain.

Xie Anping didn't bother to do that, and said to Li Dongwen: "Boss Li, help us open it and let everyone open their eyes." ”

Li Dongwen grabbed one end of the black box with his left hand, lifted an angle, supported the other end on the booth, adjusted the support angle up and down, and slid his right hand on one side of the box, buckled one side, and rotated slightly.

The lid of the box was staggered by 90 degrees, forming a straight angle, and Li Dongwen stopped and placed the black box flat on the booth.

The lid of the box opened, revealing the true face of the dagger.
