Chapter 806: Washing the Jade
Shu Ze next to him couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, who is in a hurry to use the money, and he won't sell things worth 20 or 30 million at a discount of 10 million?
Zhong Tianchang's face immediately fell: "What are you laughing at?"
Shu Ze smiled: "Can't I laugh and laugh? Also, what special carving does you have for this thing, and what artistic value does it have? Just such a brick-like thing, it actually costs 10 million? You still think it is white jade with Khotanese mutton fat!"
Zhong Tianchang's eyes widened angrily: "How much have you deceived, I am purple jade, a purple jade handed down from the Han Dynasty!"
Shu Ze laughed and said: "You say that purple jade is purple jade, it belongs to the Han Dynasty, it is from the Han Dynasty, what evidence is there? Or you can take the appraisal report and show it to us!"
"Uh......"
Zhong Tianchang was a little speechless, and then he was a little annoyed and angry: "Do you want it? Don't waste my time!"
Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong, let's tell the truth, 10 million is definitely impossible, I will give you 400,000 at most." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"No, it's too little!" Zhong Tianchang refused.
Meng Zitao said: "400,000 is already a lot, and now a good Khotanese white jade is worth so much, and I also have to consider the risk factor, what if I buy a loss?"
Zhong Tianchang hesitated, he was actually a loser who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, how could he know the true value of things, 10 million was just his sky-high asking price, it must not be true, but he still felt that 400,000 was not very satisfied, and he pondered that it would be a little higher.
At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly came over, and when he saw the things in Zhong Tianchang's hand, his eyes lit up a little: "This friend, do you sell this thing?"
Zhong Tianchang nodded and said, "You want it?"
The man said, "Of course, you say a price, and I will buy it as long as it suits." β
Zhong Tianchang pointed at Meng Zitao and said, "He just gave out 400,000 yuan. β
"I'll give 600,000!" the man said immediately.
"In that case, let it be given to this gentleman. Meng Zitao smiled, then turned around and left.
Zhong Tianchang didn't expect Meng Zitao to give up so quickly, of course, now someone has paid 200,000 more than Meng Zitao, and of course he won't care about Meng Zitao's departure.
"This boss, let's go transfer now. Zhong Tianchang said to the man.
"I'm really sorry, I thought about it just now, and I think there is something wrong with your thing, so let's forget it. The man suddenly gave Zhong Tianchang an unexpected answer.
"Why are you like this!" Zhong Tianchang suddenly became anxious, this person is simply a bastard, he had a good conversation with the young man just now, this person came to intervene and drove the young man away, but now he said no, how can there be such a reason!
The man smiled at Zhong Tianchang, didn't even say an explanation, and just turned around and ran.
Zhong Tianchang originally wanted to chase him, but he didn't expect that guy to be faster than a rabbit, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye, and what made Zhong Tianchang even more angry was that the person who was ridiculing him just now was standing not far away and smiling at himself, at this time he didn't understand that he should be smashed.
"Hit the street, this matter is not over!" Zhong Tianchang spat at the man, but now was not the time to retaliate, he turned around and chased after Meng Zitao, so far, only Meng Zitao was willing to buy his things, of course he had to try to see if he could catch up.
On the other side, Shu Ze saw that Meng Zitao turned around and left very happily, a little strange, and couldn't help but ask after walking a few steps: "Zitao, why did you leave suddenly, this is not your previous style!"
Meng Zitao smiled: "Someone is making trouble, it was just a waste of time to be there just now, and that person will catch up soon." β
Shu Ze was about to ask why, but he saw Zhong Tianchang chasing after him shouting: "Sir, do you still want my jade?"
Meng Zitao turned around, pretended to be a little surprised, and said, "Didn't that gentleman buy it just now?"
"That guy is a bastard at all!" Zhong Tianchang gritted his teeth and cursed a few words, and then asked, "Sir, if you still want, let's go transfer it now." β
Meng Zitao originally wanted to repay the price again, but considering that he had picked up a big leak now, he still agreed so as not to cause any extraneous branches.
A transfer agreement was signed, the money was paid, and the thing was in hand.
When Zhong Tianchang left happily, Shu Ze asked the curiosity in his heart: "Zitao, now can you tell me what leaks you picked up?"
Meng Zitao smiled: "This thing is indeed a piece of purple jade. β
Shu Ze was shocked: "Ah, is it really the purple jade that the ancients said?"
"It's different, this piece of purple jade has a special function. β
"What is the purpose?"
"Actually, this kind of purple jade has a name, called washing jade, which itself has magnetism and adsorption, and can be used to wash jade. β
"Do you still need to wash the jade?" Shu Ze didn't quite understand.
Meng Zitao explained: "Of course, jade also has spirituality, and because of this, a good jade worn close to the body can not only nourish the body, but also resist disasters for the owner. But it is precisely because of spirituality that jade has been worn for a long time, and it will also be contaminated with the habits of the old owner. β
"Especially those burial jade, buried in the ground and bones for at least hundreds of years, absorbing a strong yin qi, and even being stained, so that ancient jade is worn on the body and played with in the hand, whether from a health point of view, or from a psychological point of view, it is not advisable, this is not just a psychological effect. β
"Therefore, it is best to only appreciate the unearthed jade and not wear it, even if you want to wear it, you must go through relevant treatment, otherwise it will be harmful. Some people may think that it is not true, but in fact, the release of harmful substances in jade Qinliang is also slow, and it will take several years, and of course there will be no reaction for a while. And the best way to deal with this kind of unearthed jade is to use this kind of purple jade to wash jade. β
Shu Ze suddenly realized, and asked again: "Why haven't I heard of this kind of jade washing before?"
Meng Zitao said: "Because this kind of jade is so rare, it can be said that it is rare, let alone you, even most experts have not even heard of it." In addition, I don't know how to use this jade wash, don't even touch it, otherwise even my life will be over. β
Shu Ze was stunned and said, "Isn't it, is it such an exaggeration?"
Meng Zitao smiled and shook his head: "I'm not exaggerating at all, didn't you see that I have been wearing gloves just now?"
Only then did Shu Ze notice this abruptness: "You don't say that I really haven't paid attention, but why are you doing this? Could it be that there are poisonous substances on this thing?"
"You're right. β
Meng Zitao explained: "You think, this thing says that it is washing jade, but in fact, it is to suck away the harmful substances on the jade, if there is too much jade, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a deadly poisonous stone." In fact, this thing should be stored in an iron box to be complete, although such a box can also play a role in isolation, but it still cannot prevent the leakage of toxic substances. β
"Damn, let's be okay like this. Shu Ze hurriedly stepped out of the way.
Meng Zitao smiled: "Don't worry, at most, I will be affected, but this little poison is nothing to me at all." β
Shu Ze put his mind at ease and asked again, "What about Zhong Tianchang?"
Meng Zitao shook his head: "I don't know what happened in the end, but a serious illness is certain." So, let's go buy an iron box first. β
Shu Ze nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, such a dangerous thing still needs to be protected." β
Washing jade is a special item in the end, and there are many precautions when using it, so Meng Zitao has no intention of using it, so he put it away first.
The next day was the day of the high seas auction, and Meng Zitao and Shu Ze took the army and Jiang Xing to meet Xue Wenguang, and then got into Xue Wenguang's car and came to the dock.
Unlike the exhibition hall where you can access the exhibition venue by various means of transportation in the land space, you can only land on a cruise ship by ferry. Under Xue Wenguang's arrangement, everyone got on the ferry, and when the number of people was enough, they sailed to the cruise.
During the period, Xue Wenguang introduced to everyone, saying that the organizer wanted to ensure the safety of this auction. A large number of security forces were deliberately arranged. Heavy weapons are even placed on the cruise ship, after all, on the high seas, sometimes it is necessary to guard against dangers such as piracy, especially if this is an auction, there will be many priceless treasures, so you need to be extra careful.
In addition, all guests attending the auction must go through strict checks before boarding the cruise, and even the tickets are scanned with advanced infrared light.
Shu Ze listened to the introduction and thought of a question: "I'm a little puzzled, don't you sell tickets and rely on you to find them all yourself?"
Xue Wenguang said: "That will not happen, if you pay a deposit of 100,000 US dollars, you can also get tickets on the ship, and buyers who have participated in previous events, as well as auctions organized by major auction companies such as Sotheby's, Christie's and other large companies, will reduce the commission ratio or even get tickets without a deposit." β
"It's just that this kind of guests who rely on paying a deposit to get tickets will be treated differently, for example, our auction this time has two kinds of internal and external arrangements, and the internal auction can only be attended by guests who have been personally invited by us. This is also to ensure the completeness of everyone. β
Listening to Xue Wenguang's explanation, the ferry approached a huge cruise ship, and everyone got on the ship one by one after being inspected.
The ship is huge and luxurious, with a capacity of nearly 2,000 passengers and a crew of nearly 1,000, as well as a theater, ballroom, planetarium, gym and other facilities that can accommodate hundreds of people, as well as a pet hostel, swimming pool, virtual golf course, and multiple bars and restaurants.
"It seems that the organizers are very strong, but why haven't I heard of this person before? Shu Ze was a little puzzled.
Meng Zitao also felt very strange, how could such a powerful figure suddenly appear, it was like jumping out of a crack in a stone.
Because of this, they have not let down their vigilance since they got on the boat, especially Meng Zitao, since he stepped on this boat, he always felt that there was a shadow hanging over the heads of himself and others, if it was not for the fact that he could not return now, it was likely that he proposed to go back.
And now, Meng Zitao can only improvise and remind everyone to be careful.
The waiter took everyone to the lounge, during which they learned from the waiter that the official auction would not be held until tomorrow, and that there would be a large cocktail party tonight, and a small antique exchange, where everyone could exchange their own things for antiques or interesting things brought by other guests, and the organizers would not charge any fees for it.
In this matter, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze had already been reminded by Xue Wenguang before, and they both brought a few gadgets over to see if there was a chance to change to what they liked.
The waiter led everyone to the lounge, then took out their notebooks and asked them if they wanted to choose a mate of their choice.
Meng Zitao was insensitive to this, and Shu Ze was very curious, so he asked the waiter to turn on the computer and enjoy the photos of these women.
Judging from the photos, the age of the women ranges from seventeen or eighteen to early thirties, and there are many types, pure and gentle, sexy and charming, everyone is beautiful, small jasper, etc., although you can't use strong here, but what is the girl who came here, I don't need to say more. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard for Meng Zitao to imagine that these girls whose beauty and temperament are not inferior to stars are actually courtesans.
Shu Ze commented on the photo, and said to the waiter that he didn't need it, although the waiter didn't say anything on the surface, he still looked a little disappointed, because every time he succeeded, he could also get a part of the reward.
In the lounge, after everyone has a certain understanding of the layout and facilities of the entire cruise ship, they are ready to go out for a stroll, which is not their style to be bored here.
Walking out of the room, everyone enjoyed the natural beauty outside the ship and watched the magnificent artificial scenery, talking and laughing.
Just after a while, a young man came up to him, destroying the atmosphere, and the other party was none other than Luo Haixu.
"Shu Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Luo Haixu greeted with a smile, but in the eyes of the two of them, his smile was a little weird.
"Pretend to be a ghost!" Shu Ze muttered in his heart, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be Luo Shao, why did you come to the old auction too?"
"Hehe, it's not like it's okay at home, just come out to breathe, relax, and hope to get something interesting, shoot it back to have fun, and kill some time. β
Luo Haixu smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals, but he kept cursing Meng Zitao and Shu Ze in his heart, if it weren't for them, how could he have suffered such a big loss last time?
