Chapter 52: Nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Palace

As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, you can see that the person in front of you who was entrusted by someone to come to sell this hot local goods looked very embarrassed.

Zhao Ming felt that this matter might not be as simple as they imagined, since a tomb robber could ask for a price of 300,000, it means that the agarwood pen holder he found when he went to the tomb has a certain value.

Could it be that this secret is hidden in this tube?

Zhao Ming concentrated his attention and easily turned on his perspective ability, only to see him looking up and down this agarwood pen holder.

There are only some old agarwood in the agarwood pen holder, Zhao Ming shook his head, could it be that he guessed wrong? This wooden pen holder is just an ordinary antique from the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Just when Zhao Ming's afterglow swept over the bottom of the agarwood pen holder, he was surprised to find something.

A white miniature sculpture unfolded in front of his eyes.

And Zhao Ming actually found that this white miniature carving contained a lot of aura in this agarwood pen holder, which surprised Zhao Ming, he didn't expect that the bottom of this agarwood pen holder would have a hole.

I saw Zhao Ming concentrate on feeling the aura on the microsculpture again.

Zhao Ming closed his eyes, and he once again entered the artistic conception with the micro-carving inside the agarwood pen holder.

Zhao Ming looked around, he found himself in a palace, and saw an official in a black gauze hat in the palace, standing there watching a master carving something.

There was still half a piece of ivory on the table, and on the antique wooden table, there were piles of failed products, and the master's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his hands did not tremble at all.

Suddenly, the old master raised his head, and then looked at the Qing Dynasty officials in the palace and laughed.

Zhao Mingmeng suddenly returned to the real world.

He never thought that the miniature carving in this agarwood pen holder was actually made of ivory, and this miniature carving seemed to be made for a Qing Dynasty official with a very high status.

Not to mention whether the age of this agarwood pen holder is old, I say that this miniature carving, and it is also a miniature carving made of real ivory, in the era of the Qing Dynasty, it can be made into such a lifelike appearance.

It's rare.

Zhao Ming didn't know that if the miniature carving in such an agarwood pen holder was seen again, it might be able to alarm the entire antique world.

"Mr. Chen, you just said 300,000, right?" Zhao Ming saw that the air was a little quiet at this time, he broke the silence and said to Mr. Chen, who was in a dilemma there.

"That's right, it's 300,000, and I'm also entrusted by someone, so it's really embarrassing. Mr. Chan replied.

"That's it, Mr. Chen, I'll give you 350,000 yuan, go back and tell your friend, if you have anything good in the future, just send it." Our Babao Zhai is a very affectionate place, and making friends all over the world is also our constant advocate. Zhao Ming stood up and stretched out his hand.

Mr. Chen didn't expect Zhao Ming to be so refreshing.

"If you have any good things in the future, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price when you come to our Babao Zhai. The remaining 50,000 yuan will be regarded as a welcome gift. Zhao Ming continued.

Master Wang and Sun Qing were stunned from the sidelines.

"You are crazy Zhao Ming, this wooden pen holder is the highest, and the highest price is only 100,000, you have an extra 250,000 all of a sudden?" Sun Qing couldn't believe the price offered by Zhao Ming, after all, he had already made it very clear what he said before, even if Zhao Ming didn't know the goods, it was impossible to buy this agarwood pen holder at an extra price of 250,000.

"yes, aren't you just watching us make a loss-making deal. Master Wang sighed. He didn't expect that this Zhao Ming would start to go crazy, and the price of going crazy was 250,000.

"Master Wang, Boss Sun. You two don't have to worry about the money, our Babao Zhai Kitchen was purchased by me privately. Zhao Ming hurriedly appeased the two people.

This is not surprising either. After all, this agarwood is coaxing, and it doesn't seem that the price is very high, it is a normal one, and treasure connoisseurs can see it, but Zhao Ming suddenly made such a surprising decision, which is a bit unbelievable.

"This ......," Master Wang was going to continue to say.

Then Zhao Ming gave Master Wang a look, and Master Wang immediately understood.

"It seems that this kid knows something, otherwise this kid wouldn't have done anything to lose money. After Master Wang and Sun Qing saw Zhao Ming giving them two colors, they stopped talking.

You must know that the current Zhao Ming has the reputation of the first treasure connoisseur in Dongcheng, and the ability to appreciate treasures should be above the two of them.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that there would be such a refreshing and righteous person in Babao Zhai!" Mr. Chen was so happy that he almost clapped his hands.

Knowing the price of this agarwood pen holder, whoever looks at it will not give a very high price, which means that the commission given to him by Mr. Chen's friend should also be a relatively difficult task.

Now, Zhao Ming actually gave an extra 50,000 yuan, as long as Mr. Chen was extremely happy.

"Little brother, I will definitely bring your words to mine, and still tell me that only people who know the goods very well will buy this thing. Looks, little brother, you're the one my friend said he was very knowledgeable. Mr. Chen smiled from ear to ear.

"Mr. Chen, you have won the prize, this is a check, you can take it. Zhao Ming didn't talk nonsense, I saw him pick up the check from the table, write the amount of 35 on it, and hand it to Mr. Chen.

"Please also ask Mr. Chen to tell your friend what I said when I go back, thank you. Zhao Ming made a gesture of clenching his fists, and then bent down slightly.

When Mr. Chen saw that the young man in front of him was so humble and polite, he couldn't help but feel good in his heart.

Mr. Chen took the check and said goodbye to everyone.

Zhao Ming played with the agarwood pen holder in his hand, and didn't notice that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Babaozhai.

I saw Master Wang and Sun Qing with their arms crossed on their chests, standing there straight and staring at Zhao Ming.

“…… Why are you two looking at me?" Zhao Ming found the eyes of the two people staring at him, and instantly felt chills all over his body.

"What do you say, can you explain to the two of us, how can you tell that these things are worth 350,000?" Sun Qing stood there, looking at Zhao Ming angrily.

If it weren't for Zhao Ming's previous experience of appreciating treasures, Sun Qing would have dismissed him on the spot, that is, because of the name of a treasure connoisseur, he believed Zhao Ming, otherwise, he and Master Wang would have immediately aborted the transaction just now.

"Hahahahaha......" Zhao Ming thought what was going on? She was pleasantly surprised, but she forgot to explain to Sun Qing and Master Wang.

"What are you giggling at there? You stinky boy. Let me tell you, this agarwood pen holder, even if it is in better condition, is only capped at 200,000, you kid is good, and he gave a price of 350,000 at once, let me ask you, what do you think. Master Wang was so angry that his face changed.

You must know that Master Wang has taught Zhao Ming a lot of knowledge about antique treasure appreciation on weekdays.

"Nothing, nothing, I'm just so happy that you two came over and watched. Zhao Ming saw that the two people were not very popular, so he stopped joking with the two of them, hurriedly took care of these two people, and stepped forward to carefully observe this agarwood pen holder.

"Look at what's in this agarwood pen holder. Zhao Ming took out the professional flashlight in Babaozhai, as well as a professional magnifying glass, and then he asked Sun Qing and Master Wang to carefully observe the contents of the agarwood pen holder.

"This ...... There's something white in there. Sun Qing hurriedly adjusted the angle, and then took a closer look.

"God!" Sun Qing hurriedly covered his mouth in surprise, apparently he also saw the ivory miniature carving of the middle Qing Dynasty discovered by Zhao Ming under a professional magnifying glass.

"What's the situation?" Due to the angle, Master Wang had to stand at a distance to observe, and when Sun Qing left the best observation position, she also stepped forward and squinted her eyes, looking carefully.

"Micro carving!!" Master Wang also saw the micro carving from the angle he had left since he was a child, and this time he almost scared Master Wang's heart attack.

"Stinky boy, how do you know that there will be miniature carvings here!" Master Wang hurriedly picked up the agarwood pen holder and observed it carefully.

"Oh my God, this is a miniature carving made of ivory, and there was such a craft in the middle of the Qing Dynasty!" Master Wang sighed.

"As far as I know, the technology of Qing Dynasty miniature carving has not yet been formed, which means that there are very few Qing Dynasty miniature carvings on the market, let alone before. If this thing is put at auction......" Sun Qing jumped up excitedly.

"That's right, if this kind of ivory miniature carving of the Qing Dynasty were placed at the most famous auction now, the price of several million would not be a matter at all. Master Wang sighed as he observed.

Zhao Ming looked at the surprised look of the two people, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Sun Qing obviously noticed that Zhao Ming was snickering there, and then she asked.

"What are you happy to do there?" Sun Qing leaned in front of Zhao Ming, and then punched him in the chest.

"Let me ask you, how did you know that there is an ivory micro-carving in this agarwood pen holder?" Sun Qing said suspiciously, after all, this kind of micro-carving is in an inconspicuous position such as the bottom of the agarwood pen holder.

If it were not for the help of high-tech tools, it would be difficult for the human eye to observe, and there is such a tiny ivory miniature carving inside.

"As the saying goes, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed...... Zhao Ming raised his head after hearing Sun Qing ask like this, and began to pretend to be those unfathomable people.

Seeing this, Sun Qing hurriedly gave Zhao Ming another kick.

"You hurry up and tell us two, you shouldn't be ......" Sun Qing suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then she looked at Zhao Ming with suspicious eyes.

"You can't be hiding something from me, are you?"
