Chapter 160 The Jade Buddha
Qin Haodong said: "Don't worry, it's been prepared a long time ago, and when you take it out, you will definitely be satisfied with the old man." ”
Lin Momo said: "Can't you let me see what you have prepared? ”
Qin Haodong said with a smile: "There will be no surprise if you take it out first, this is my secret with Tang Tang, and I can't tell you for the time being." ”
The little guy followed and said, "Yes, yes, this is my secret with Baba, I can't tell others, I want to surprise grandpa." ”
Lin Momo glanced at Qin Haodong and said, "Okay, let you father and daughter toss and see what tricks you can come up with." ”
Because Lin Xiaotian is old and likes to be quiet on weekdays, he built a manor on the outskirts of Jiangnan City and has always lived there.
Although Qin Haodong and Lin Momo came early, when they arrived at the manor, there were already guests coming to the door one after another. Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Zhigao arrived early and greeted the guests at the door.
And Lin Pingchao is also dressed up very energetically today, wearing a set of expensive brand-name suits, following behind Lin Zhigao, as if he is the image of the third-generation core of the Lin family.
When he saw Qin Haodong and Lin Momo coming over with the little guy, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Sister Tang, you are here." ”
Lin Momo said, "Am I late?"
"It's not too late, it's not too late, I'm busy here, Sister Tang, go inside and rest." ”
According to Lin Pingchao's thoughts, I can't wait to hide Lin Momo, so that I can add some impression points in front of many guests, you must know that all the guests who came today are distinguished guests, and many people have a very big influence in Lin Xiaotian, as long as someone praises him, it will definitely increase his impression points in the old man's heart.
Lin Momo also knew that he was careful, but he didn't care, and said, "I still have to take care of Tang Tang, so it's hard for you." ”
After speaking, she took Qin Haodong and walked towards the manor together.
In the hall of the villa, although the old man Lin Xiaotian is 80 years old, he is in good spirits, and today he is wearing a red Tang costume, and he sits happily in the middle to accept the guests.
The old man has been operating in Jiangnan City for many years, and has made a wide range of friends, and today there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, as well as elites from all walks of life. The more important of these people were left in the hall to take their seats, and the vast majority were relegated to the adjacent auditorium.
"Grandpa, I'm coming to see you!"
After entering the door, the little guy happily rushed towards Lin Xiaotian.
The old man was originally sitting on the Taishi chair, but when he saw the little guy, he immediately smiled, hurriedly stood up, and hugged her in his arms: "Tang Tang, why haven't you come to see Grandpa Tai for so long, you want to kill me." ”
"Tang Tang also wants to be grandpa. The little guy put his arms around the old man's neck, kissed him on the cheek and said, "Grandpa, Baba and Ma Ma are also here." ”
"Your father is here?" Lin Xiaotian looked surprised.
"yes, Baba is here, right there. The little guy said and pointed back at Qin Haodong.
Lin Xiaotian glanced at Qin Haodong, and then looked at Lin Momo with inquiring eyes.
"Grandpa, this is my boyfriend Qin Haodong, and he is also Tang Tang's godfather. ”
Lin Momo didn't say much, but she introduced Qin Haodong's identity in an all-round way, and also explained the doubts in the old man's heart.
Qin Haodong stepped forward and said, "Hello old man, my name is Qin Haodong, and I am Mo Mo's boyfriend." ”
"Oh!" Lin Xiaotian nodded, began to look at Qin Haodong with burning eyes, nodded after a moment, and said softly, "The young man is good." ”
The emotion on his face when he spoke was unwavering, and he didn't know if he really appreciated Qin Haodong or said polite words.
After saying hello, Qin Haodong and Lin Momo sat next to him, and the little guy lay directly in the old man's arms.
As time went by, more and more people came to pay homage to the old man's birthday.
When it was close to noon, there was a commotion outside the door, and two middle-aged men walked into the hall hand in hand. Qin Haodong glanced at it and saw two old acquaintances, one was Qian Duoduo, the president of the Jiangnan Jade Association, and the other was Guo Feng, the director of the Jiangnan Antique Appraisal Center and an antique appraisal expert.
Although these two people are not official administrative officials, they are definitely respected authority figures in the antique and jade worlds, so as soon as they appeared, many people immediately surrounded them, and they followed them in front of each other.
Mr. Lin Xiaotian has three hobbies in his life, jade, antiques, calligraphy and painting, plus he has been running the Lin Group for many years, so he has a very good relationship with Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng, and he is an old friend for many years. After seeing the two of them enter the door, he hurriedly got up to greet them.
After saying hello to the old man, Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng were just about to sit down, but they saw Qin Haodong sitting next to them at a glance.
Qian Duoduo strode in front of Qin Haodong and said with a look of surprise: "Doctor Qin, you are also here." ”
Guo Feng also followed, and after bringing the Xuande furnace back last time, he found many experts to identify it again, and finally determined that it was the genuine product of the Xuande furnace.
Because of this, he admired Qin Haodong's ability to identify antiques, and he also came over to greet Qin Haodong respectfully.
Whether it is Qian Duoduo or Guo Feng, they are both experts in the industry, Taishan Beidou-level figures, and well-deserved God of Wealth, but they didn't expect that such a super bullish two characters would be so respectful to this young man, which immediately aroused the guests' curiosity about Qin Haodong for a while.
Lin Xiaotian is also very clear about his two old friends, they are usually people with eyes above the top, but now he attaches so much importance to himself, the new grandson-in-law, which makes him quite curious in his heart, and the eyes that look at Qin Haodong have another layer of deep meaning.
After saying hello, Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng simply sat around Qin Haodong and started to exchange jade and antiques with him.
Qin Haodong didn't know much about these two things, he relied entirely on aura to distinguish between jade rough stones and antiques, of course, this kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly, so he basically didn't talk much, it was all Qian Duoduo and Guo Feng who talked endlessly.
But because of this, he brought these two people more and more unfathomable feelings.
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and at half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Momo helped Lin Xiaotian to the birthday banquet hall. There were more than 20 tables in the auditorium, and there was a big word for longevity in the middle, and as soon as Lin Xiaotian walked into the auditorium, applause immediately rang out.
After the guests were seated, the host invited by the Lin family began a sensational performance, and he introduced the life and deeds of the old man with emotion. Next, the juniors of the Lin family congratulated the old man on his birthday and offered their own gifts.
There are no clear regulations for this kind of birthday celebration, but generally speaking, it is from the outside to the inside, from the eldest to the youngest, and the first to start the birthday gift are the distant relatives of the Lin family, and finally it is the turn of the two brothers Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Zhigao.
"Dad, I wish you a long life and all the best. ”
After Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he asked people to give him the gift he prepared, which was a very delicate book of evergreen, although this thing was not expensive, but it had far-reaching implications, and it was the most suitable for the elderly to make a birthday.
This was followed by Lin Zhigao, who, after saying a few auspicious words, presented a longevity plaque.
It stands to reason that it should be Lin Momo's turn next, but Lin Pingchao came to Lin Xiaotian first and said, "Grandpa, my grandson wishes you a long life and a hundred years old, as blessed as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to the bodyguard behind him, and the bodyguard sent a brocade box more than a foot high.
This box is inlaid with gold and jade, and it looks like it is worth a lot of money just by packaging, which immediately attracted everyone's attention to see what was inside this box.
Lin Pingchao seemed to be in order to arouse everyone's curiosity, so he didn't move quickly, slowly unpacked the brocade box, and then gently took out a jade Buddha about 20 cm tall from inside.
The material of this jade Buddha is crystal white, delicate and moisturizing and almost flawless, it looks like a fat mutton fat that has just been cut, and the luster is like condensed fat, which is a good thing of great value at a glance.
"Oh my God, mutton fat jade, this is actually a top-grade mutton fat jade......"
"It's not strange that the mutton fat jade is so big, but such a big jade Buddha is worth a lot of money......"
"It is worthy of being the eldest young master of the Lin family, I really worked hard to celebrate the old man's birthday, how much does such a jade Buddha cost......"
Hearing the surrounding discussions, the corners of Lin Pingchao's mouth flashed with pride, and he held the Jade Buddha in both hands and sent it to Lin Xiaotian.
"Grandpa, it is said that jade can raise people, if you put this jade Buddha in the bedroom, you will definitely be able to live a long life. ”
Lin Zhigao hurriedly followed and said: "Ping Chao has long remembered the old man's birthday, this is the Jade Buddha he bought for 12 million at the auction, in order to celebrate the old man's birthday. ”
The old man Lin Xiaotian likes jade and antiques the most in his life, and after seeing this mutton fat jade Buddha, he immediately smiled, and played with it seriously in his hand, and sighed after a while: "Good thing! What a good thing! Pingchao really has a heart." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Qian Duoduo next to him, "President Qian, how about you help me take a look at this Jade Buddha?"
Qian Duoduo is an expert in jade identification, a leading figure in the jade industry in the south of the Yangtze River, he took this jade Buddha in his hand, looked at it for four or five minutes, and then said: "It is really good, this is a high-quality mutton fat jade, and the carving is delicate and lifelike, and it looks like it is from the hands of famous artists."
If I look at it, the value of this jade Buddha should be between 20 million and 30 million, and Brother Lin can buy it with 12 million, which is really a big bargain. ”
Lin Pingchao said: "At that time, it was a small private auction, and other people would not bid at this price, otherwise I would have bought it for my grandfather's birthday, no matter how expensive it was." ”
This guy is not only gloomy, but also good at slapping horses, and unconsciously expresses filial piety.
After Qian Duoduo played with this jade Buddha, he did not return it to Lin Xiaotian, but handed it to Qin Haodong next to him: "Mr. Qin, you help me grow my eyes and see if what I just identified is right." ”
After saying this, everyone's eyes focused on Qin Haodong's body, and they didn't understand how this young man could make Qian Duoduo so respectful, he was the president of the Jade Association, could it be that this young man's ability to identify jade was even higher than him?
Qin Haodong took the jade and looked at it from top to bottom, Lin Pingchao said with a smug face: "How is it?
The purpose of his report today is to show off at the old man's birthday banquet and suppress Lin Momo, so he spent so much blood, and at the same time, he is also very confident in this jade Buddha of mutton fat jade, and I believe that he will be able to please the old man.
Unexpectedly, Qin Haodong smiled at him, and then raised the jade Buddha in his hand and slammed it to the ground, only to hear a click, and this mutton fat jade jade Buddha worth more than 10 million suddenly became a piece of the ground.
