Text Chapter 399 Crushing
"You are obviously embarrassed, knowing that I don't understand antiques, and you still ask me this kind of question?" Xia Ning rolled her eyes at Wang Wei.
"Okay, to put it bluntly, this snuff bottle is used by Lord Qianlong. ”
Speaking of snuff bottles, this thing is not a domestic product, he was brought into the country by the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
Especially in the Qianlong period, after Qianlong fell in love with snuff bottles, he liked to give the snuff box to his favorite minister last time.
The emperor likes it, can the ministers not like it?
Therefore, the small snuff box became a very valuable gift in the suburban activities at that time.
"You said this was used by Qianlong's royal family?" Xia Ning's eyes suddenly widened.
"That's right, this is the snuff bottle used by Lord Qianlong, guess how much it's worth?" asked Wang Wei with a smile.
In fact, when he came to the eldest lady's stall just now, the first thing he noticed was the snuff bottle, the rich treasure was like a bright light in the night, so he couldn't see it, and the second thing he noticed was the Ru kiln vase, but unfortunately he saw many cracks when he looked closely.
So when he picked it up, it was very light, for fear that if he was not careful, he would break the vase.
Unexpectedly, He Longsheng didn't care about the rules at all, so he dug a pit that was not big or small, and gave the surname He to the pit.
"Say ......" Xia Ning put her hand on Wang Wei's waist, and there was a tendency to twist it down if she didn't agree with her.
"Okay, I said, in the autumn auction in November 15, the snuff bottle used by Emperor Qianlong was auctioned for a high price of 150 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
"You said this thing is worth more than 100 million?"
"Not so much, the reason why the snuff bottle was sold at such a high price is inseparable from the hype, in fact, the usual price is about the same as tens of millions. Wang Wei shook his head.
At this moment, Xia Ning's phone rang.
"What can you do?"
"Let me take people away, do you think that's appropriate?"
"Cooperation is a matter of course, but it's your people who are making trouble, figure it out yourself!"
After connecting the phone, before she could say a few words, Xia Ning's face changed, her tone began to become stiff, and finally she hung up the phone directly.
Wang Wei's hearing is keen, and although he didn't turn on the speakerphone, there were still crowds of people around him and noisy noise, but he still heard the conversation clearly.
The call was from Zheng Changlong, or about Wang Wei and the surname He, he said that the surname He had a very stubborn temper, and he couldn't handle it now, and asked Xia Ning to persuade Wang Wei to take a step back, or take Wang Wei away first, which was a very rude request, and even a little contemptuous of Wang Wei.
At this time, Wang Wei made a bet with the surname He, and now Wang Wei leaves first, which is tantamount to admitting defeat and being laughed at in the future.
Xia Ning and Wang Wei have an unusual relationship, and it is impossible to pit Wang Wei for work, so she hung up the phone directly.
"Let's go, let's go find him!" Seeing Xia Ning hanging up the phone, Wang Wei smiled slightly, and went straight to the direction where Zheng Changlong and the two of them left just now.
He is not a soft persimmon, whoever wants to pinch it.
As soon as they met, the surnamed He came to him and repeatedly provoked him, and they kicked the surnamed He down, which was already very face-saving.
Now that he wants to cheat him like this, of course he can't tolerate it.
The two men walked towards the end of the antique market, and soon saw the surname He, who had just bought an antique from a stall.
"It's not too early, are you ready?" Wang Wei came to He Longsheng's face.
"It's really not early, why don't we go back early, recharge our energy, and prepare for tomorrow's action. "Zheng Changlong is still working hard.
He knew very well that the conflict between Wang Wei and the two was already very serious.
If the person surnamed He loses, he will lose completely, and it is likely to produce variables, but he is really not optimistic about how much hope the surname He has to win.
"It won't take long, take out the ones you have chosen!" He Longsheng didn't give the captain any face.
"See for yourself, estimate for yourself!" Wang Wei directly took out the snuffbox, squatted down, and put it on the stone on the side of the road.
This is the rule of the antique trade, and items like this that may be broken and broken cannot be handed over directly to another person.
Why?
It's very simple, if you miss it and fall to the ground, who is it?
If it is a valuable item, it involves a huge amount of loss or compensation, and it is not possible to distinguish the responsibility.
So there is such a rule, when identifying valuables, you need to place them in a safe place first.
It's okay on a table, it's okay on a stool, it's okay if it's not on the floor.
Of course, He Longsheng understood this rule, so he put down the antiques he bought, and then picked up the snuffbox that Wang Wei bought.
Well?
As soon as he picked it up, his face changed, he was an expert, otherwise he would not have become a distinguished expert of the Provincial Museum at a young age.
As soon as he picked it up, he found that this small snuffbox was actually carved from glass jadeite.
Glass jadeite, whether modern or ancient, is very precious, even the average rich can rarely get it.
Especially the snuff box in front of you, the inner painting has a strong Qing Dynasty style, if it is true, the value is immeasurable!
"Is this the snuff bottle on that stall just now?" he remembered when he took it in his hand, when he bought the Ruyao vase, he had seen this snuff bottle, and it was in the same stall, but most of his attention at that time was on the Ruyao vase, and he didn't pay attention to the snuff bottle.
"Not bad!" Wang Wei glanced at the jade Ruyi in his hand, which He Longsheng had just bought.
It is also an item of the Qing Dynasty, probably the early period of the Qianlong period, the carving is exquisite, the jade quality is high-quality, it is a very good treasure antique.
Hiss......
The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and the more he looked at it, the more unbelievable he became, He Longsheng couldn't help but gasp, this time it was a big trouble.
With his eyesight, of course, he wouldn't fail to recognize it, why did he only notice the Ruyao vase at that time with this hatred in his heart?
If he had been slightly distracted from this snuffbox at that time, he would have recognized it and would not have passed by.
"It's all Wang Wei's fault......" He glanced at Wang Wei very annoyed, if it weren't for Wang Wei stirring up the situation and making his attention focus on the Ruyao vase, this snuffbox must have been his.
"You did it on purpose, what you were going to buy at that time was not the Ruyao vase, it was this snuff bottle, right?" He Longsheng said through gritted teeth.
"Two, it's not early. Zheng Changlong looked bad, looking at this situation, the expert he invited lost again.
"It's true, it's a pity that some people have messed up the situation. ”
"You won, I'm not as good as you!" He Longsheng's skills were not as good as others, and he didn't have a chance to get angry, so he only felt a serious suffocation in his chest.
He stuffed the snuffbox to Wang Wei, turned around and left.
As for the jade Ruyi, the two had already agreed at the beginning that all the items would belong to the winner.
If he breaks the contract, he may have to come back, but in front of his captain, even if it is worth 100 million, he can't break the contract and come back.
When Zheng Changlong saw it, he hurriedly chased after him, and the situation he was most worried about still happened.
However, he also secretly scolded He Longsheng in his heart, he had nothing to do and made trouble out of thin air, didn't this make it more difficult to solve the case?
He also complained a little bit about Wang Wei, didn't he know to take a step back and open the sky?
But then I thought about it again, why did Wang Wei let the surname He?
It's not his father, it's not his mother, there's no obligation to let him, even if it's him, he will never endure it when he is repeatedly provoked.
"It seems that you have to report back immediately, and send another appraisal expert, even if you don't leave, you have to drive him away. "Before he caught up with He Longsheng, Zheng Changlong had already decided, this was provoked by the surname He, of course, he should bear all the consequences.
The surname He is gone, leaving Wang Wei and Xia Ning, and of course two antiques in the hands of these two.
"Did he lose?" Xia Ning was a little inexplicable, in her opinion, this was about winning or losing after all, maybe the two had a war of words.
However, the fact is that the two talked very little, and there was no mention of the price of antiques, and then the surname He admitted defeat and left.
"Of course I lost. "The value of the two antiques is very different, and there is no possibility of comparison at all, so the person surnamed He simply admits defeat.
"I think this jade Ruyi is very good-looking, is it a fake?" Xia Ning took the jade Ruyi, and the palm was very exquisite.
"Of course it's not a fake, it's a rare treasure, it must be a court official during the Qing Dynasty, or a wealthy businessman, there is no five million cash, don't ask the price of this jade Ruyi." Wang Wei explained with a smile that He Longsheng's eyes were really poisonous.
The probability of such a precious antique being placed on the stall is too low, and it is too difficult to find it.
The surname He just found out, proving that his ability is indeed very strong, but unfortunately he chose the wrong opponent and chose a person who can see the treasure.
When Wang Wei identified antiques, he was simply cheating, even if the other party was a leader in the antique industry, he still had to kneel in front of Wang Wei.
"Are ancient texts so valuable?" As soon as he heard that there were no five million, don't ask the price, Xia Ning was suddenly a little surprised.
"You see that on this street, there are thousands of antiques, maybe millions, or even tens of millions, but more than ninety-nine percent of the antiques are almost worthless, and the remaining one percent, most of them, at least more than ninety percent, are not as valuable as this jade Ruyi. ”
"In other words, the surname He has real skills?"
"It's true that he has this ability, he is a very powerful person, at least very good at antique identification, but it's a pity that he chose the wrong opponent. ”
"Okay, your tails are up, you're very powerful, right?" Although she said this, Xia Ning had to admit in her heart that Wang Wei was indeed powerful, at least she had only heard of it but had never seen it, who could pick up tens of millions of dollars in a casual walk on the antique street.
A person like this, even if the bank opens the door for him to rob, he will definitely not, and it is faster to pick up leakage money than to rob a bank.
"Remember, gather at the antique street at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and I'll let you witness a miracle!" When they were leaving, Wang Wei told Xia Ning to come on time.
