Although Meng Zitao chose a jade bottle that was full of color and looked like it had just been unearthed, with Shu Ze's understanding of him, he knew that this bottle was definitely not ordinary, and seeing Luo Haixu's calm face and ready to leave, of course he would not let go of an opportunity to hit Luo Haixu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Zitao, why did you choose such a jade bottle?"

Hearing Shu Ze's question, Luo Haixu paused, and he was also very curious why Meng Zitao didn't choose anything else, but chose such a jade bottle.

Meng Zitao glanced at Luo Haixu next to him, and then said with a smile: "Because I think he may be Qiu Chuji's jade carving work." ”

"Qiu Chuji, the one in the legend of the eagle shooting hero?" Not to mention Luo Haixu, Shu Ze was also very surprised.

"It's him, but he's a real historical figure, and he has a great name in his own right. Meng Zitao briefly introduced Qiu Chuji's life and deeds, focusing on his jade carving field.

Luo Haixu couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that this jade bottle was made by Qiu Chuji?"

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you a good lesson, presumably you should be because of the influence of the color, you haven't observed this jade bottle more, in fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can find that many places in this jade bottle have consistent characteristics. ”

Mencius talked eloquently and pointed out some of the characteristics of the jade bottle one by one.

Luo Haixu looked at the jade bottle, his expression fell into a daze, and after listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, he found that this jade bottle did have a lot of extraordinary.

Its shape is beautiful, the structure is coordinated, the neck is high, the bottom is closed, the shape is skillful to make the melon edge, the melon edge is neat and uniform, full and plump, the face shape is round and full, and it is almost natural. Although the bottle body and cap are divided into two, the melon ridge extends to the top, which is really one. The double live ring is simple and elegant. The front leaves a round skin color like the finishing touch, which makes people's eyes shine, and the elegance contains nobility, full of antiquity, and there is a sense of love spontaneously arises when you look at it.

"Why, why didn't I see it just now? I knew this, I should have put the jade bottle back in my room!"

Luo Haixu's heart was full of remorse and chagrin, in fact, his previous harvest was not limited to the few pieces he was holding now, some of the more precious ones had been put back into the room by him, as for the few pieces in his hand, he wanted to see if there was a chance to exchange them for the antiques he liked, but he didn't expect it to be gone.

Luo Haixu raised his head and looked at Meng Zitao and Shu Ze, not only hating his stupidity, knowing that Shu Ze could not do a loss-making business, but also agreeing to bet, but also hating Shu Ze and Meng Zitao, obviously he was gone, but he still had to tell the result, isn't this pouring salt on his wounds?

"Unforgivable!"

Luo Haixu turned his head and left, and after leaving the room, the blond-haired and blue-eyed young man who followed him spoke: "Luo, now that you have an opportunity to take revenge with your own hands, don't you want to seize it?"

Luo Haixu paused, and wanted to agree immediately, but he understood that there was no turning back from the arrow that opened the bow, and if he agreed, he might fall into a whirlpool.

"Able, let me think again. ”

Abel said lightly: "Luo, you shouldn't be ignorant of your situation, right? After what happened last time, you have stayed away from the sequence of successors of your Luo family, although you have not been disqualified, but the hope is already very slim, in this case, why don't you give it a try?"

Luo Haixu's face was a little gloomy: "Abel, you have to make it clear, my surname is Luo, and except for the eldest brother in the family, no one in this generation has a higher prestige than me." ”

Able said with a smirk, "What about Qian Luolin?"

Luo Haixu's face changed, and he roared in a low voice: "He's just a lowly private body, can you compare with me?" Abel , if you still want to be friends with me, don't mention this person in front of me!"

Abel ignored Luo Haixu's warning, and said to himself: "No matter what, he also has the blood of your Luo family in his body, and if he doesn't pose a threat to you, why do you care so much?"

Seeing that Luo Haixu's face turned red, Abel changed the topic again: "Luo, you must know that you are only one of the targets in our choice this time, not the only one, if the others have agreed, you will also lose the opportunity to change your fate." And although the family assets are good, they are usually constrained by the rest of the family, and if it is your own property, the major decisions are up to you. I hope you think it through. ”

Luo Haixu was silent, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at Abel and said, "If it is done, what support can you give me?"

"Preferential rights for at least one mine in Myanmar, and a low-interest loan of at least $100 million for five years, if you have any other requirements, we can negotiate again. ”

"What do I get if I fail, and will I be exposed?"

"It's up to you whether you're exposed or not, and we're sure we won't give away any of your information. As for what you can get, I can promise you the inconvenience of a loan. ”

Luo Haixu thought for a moment and asked, "After the matter is completed, can Shu Ze and Meng Zitao hand it over to me to solve?"

"Of course, it's the high seas. Able grinned.

Luo Haixu finally made up his mind and said, "Let's discuss the specific situation." ”

Able smiled, "I'm sure you won't regret your decision today. ”

"Hopefully......"

The words were divided into two ends, Shu Ze waited for Luo Haixu to leave, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, you didn't see his face, I laughed to death!"

Meng Zitao smiled and reminded: "When he left just now, I noticed that his eyes were full of hatred. ”

Shu Ze waved his hand: "It's okay, this kid doesn't have to worry, I'm not afraid to tell you, in fact, we originally had a plan to deal with the Luo family, if the Luo family goes bankrupt, this kid has someone to deal with him." ”

The Luo family is actually not very clean, and there are many enemies, if it has always been strong, others are not very easy to deal with the Luo family, but if the Luo family declines, it will be different. Just like a lion that is already dying, how can the wolves around him be afraid?

Since this is the case, Meng Zitao did not say much.

At the free fair, there was not much to gain, so Meng Zitao and Shu Ze did not go again, went back to their rooms to rest, and waited for the arrival of the official auction tomorrow.

…………

The next day, the official auction began, the four of them had breakfast together, went back to the lounge to rest a little, got ready, and walked to the auction site on the second floor of the cruise ship.

When they arrived at the door, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze took the number plates respectively, and this auction was not as usual. Before the auction, each participant was given a brochure of the items that participated in the auction, which gave all the participants a sense of mystery.

After everyone walked into the venue, they found that there were several glass display cases on the rostrum, which were the lots that participated in the auction.

These lots are the highlight of the auction, including the bronze treasure that we learned about in advance, the Horse Flying Swallow.

By asking the on-site staff, I learned that before the auction began, the guests could enjoy it at the front desk, but each showcase could not exceed three minutes per person, not for one more second.

Since there was this opportunity, of course Meng Zitao had to go to the stage to appraise it, so he and Shu Ze went to the booth in order, because there were only five things in total, and there was a time limit, so they quickly walked off the rostrum, and then sat down on the seats arranged in advance.

"Zitao, how is it, is that horse stepping on Feiyan real?" Shu Ze asked.

Meng Zitao replied: "The time is too short, and some details have not been seen yet, but judging from the existing characteristics, it should be genuine." ”

Shu Ze sighed: "Alas, I really didn't expect that it was really genuine, and it was relatively well preserved, and it was a work of the Western Han Dynasty, and its value was not much lower than the one found now." ”

"yes. A trace of sorrow flashed on Meng Zitao's face, to be honest, he would rather this thing be a fake than a genuine thing, after all, the people who can come to the auction are all rich, and there are a few blonde and blue-eyed foreigners with big noses, if the thing is auctioned back by them, it will be difficult to return to China in the current situation.

However, since the thing is genuine, other plans can only be put aside, and I can only do my best to photograph this treasure for a while.

"Hey, I originally wanted to take a few more shots, but now it seems that I can only choose carefully. Meng Zitao thought with regret.

"Don't worry, don't you still have me?" Shu Ze smiled and patted Meng Zitao's shoulder.

Meng Zitao nodded: "Let's take a look later." ”

The five exhibits on the rostrum made them look forward to today's auction, but because of the horse stepping on the Feiyan, they wanted to encounter more good things, but they were worried that there were too many things, which would affect their competition for the horse riding Feiyan, but these are small problems, and there is no need to worry too much about it now.

As time went on, all the guests who participated in the auction arrived one by one, and when the time was fixed at nine o'clock, the person in charge of the auction organizer came to the stage to make an official speech.

For this kind of polite words, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze didn't bother to listen, chatting while waiting for the auction to begin.

The person in charge also knew that the people in the audience were impatient with him, so in just two or three minutes, he ended his speech and officially announced the start of the auction. Meanwhile. An auctioneer walked up to the stage, signaling the official start of the auction.

"Hello everyone, today's first lot is a very rare treasure, and it is also very special, it can be used to treat diseases and save lives, as for what it is, I will not sell it, I have asked the staff, bring it up!"

As soon as the auctioneer waved his hand, he saw two beautiful staff members, carrying a huge brocade box and walking up to the stage.

At this time, I heard the auctioneer say loudly: "Yes, it is the ginseng that people are familiar with, and it is a ginseng that has been growing for 500 years!"

"Wow! Really fake?!Five hundred years, it's unlikely!"

The scene was in an uproar, and many people showed incredible looks.

Ginseng is no stranger to everyone, and it grows mostly in East Asia, especially in cold regions. It is most famous for its ginseng representative in China, Changbai Mountain, Ji Province. This mountain ginseng has the best texture, ginseng belongs to the five plus family, and American ginseng is produced in North and Central America, which is also the top grade of warm supplement.

Ginseng has obvious cardiotonic effects, and the most significant effect is to rescue cardiogenic shock and hemorrhagic shock, which is also the reason why the ancients believed that ginseng has the effect of "resurrecting the dead". Many famous works in ancient China have written that the consumption and medicinal use of ginseng are often mentioned in the royal family, large families or doctors.

In ancient times, ginseng was a treasure, but nowadays, the "sky-high" phenomenon of wild ginseng has repeatedly appeared, and the fundamental reason is the absolute scarcity of its resources.

This is because in recent years, the changes in the environment, coupled with the fact that wild ginseng has undergone long-term uncontrolled mining, is now almost extinct, and even if wild ginseng is found, it is a relatively rare event, so it is difficult to accurately count the current production of wild ginseng in China.

Every year, only about 6 kilograms of wild ginseng "appear" in the domestic market, and less than 2 kilograms of sun-dried products. According to media reports, even if the national reserves are only about a few dozen catties, wild ginseng is basically a priceless situation.

Under this premise, wild ginseng has become a "unique product" similar to a protected cultural relic, and once each wild ginseng in good condition appears on the auction market, it will set a new record for the "sky-high" price of this category.

This is still talking about low-year-old wild ginseng, and it is difficult to estimate the price of ginseng that is 100 years old, let alone ginseng that is 500 years old.

Meng Zitao had only heard of it before, at the end of the 80s of the last century, a ginseng farmer accidentally picked a "ginseng king" weighing 305 grams, and this ginseng king has been living underground for more than 480 years. After media publicity, this mountain ginseng has become a sensation at home and abroad, and has now become a national treasure specimen and has been treasured by the museum. It is said that there are also thousand-year-old ginseng that lives deep in the mountains and forests, but there is no way to verify it.

Shu Ze was a little emotional: "It's really fake, is it really ginseng that has grown for five hundred years?"

"I don't think it's possible to joke about that. Meng Zitao said.

According to reports, all the lots in this auction will be identified with scientific instruments, and there is a possibility of errors in the identification of antiques, but plants like ginseng should not be able to fake their production age, not to mention, in terms of the quality of this ginseng, it cannot be faked.

Before the items are auctioned, the guests have a small amount of time to appraise the lots, so the guests come forward, and basically everyone is interested in ginseng, after all, it is so effective that it can be a life-saving treasure in some critical moments.

As soon as the guests returned to their seats, the auctioneer said, "The first lot, 500-year-old wild ginseng, starts at 5 million, and the price increase must not be less than 100,000 yuan each time, and now ...... it."

"Ten million!" doubled the price for each bidder.

As early as the end of July 2007, a wild ginseng tree found in Changbai Mountain was purchased by a ginseng dealer in Ji Province for 3 million yuan. In 2009, a 75.8-gram wild ginseng tree hit a sky-high price of 2.22 million yuan.

As for this 500-year-old ginseng plant, both Mencius and Shu Ze were waiting for the right time to start bidding......
