Chapter 31: The Treasure in the Mezzanine
Tong Lao was old and had difficulty moving, so Du Hao asked people to move the antiques he bought out of the boxes one by one and stack them on the ground for him to taste.
Tong Lao stopped step by step, slapped every antique, but shook his head and sighed again and again.
His reaction was not so surprising, but it also made Du Hao feel a little choked in his heart.
Although he has already made people look at these antiques, he still has illusions, hoping that his own people have lost their eyes and missed a few genuine items.
But now it seems that Li Rong is ruthless, and he has no intention of leaving him at all.
When Du Hao sighed, Li Rong looked proud.
This time he sent Du Hao antiques, but he personally arranged for people to replace, although those fakes are good, but they are full of fakes, although there are a few ornaments in the Republic of China period are genuine, but the most valuable decorative parts on them have been replaced by him, without those things, these ornaments are not worth a few dollars.
Therefore, for Wang Xiaochuan's bet this time, he is confident, and he is not afraid that there will be a miracle at all.
Twenty minutes later, Tong Lao finally put down the last antique.
"How is it?Tong Lao, these are all fakes, right?" Li Rong asked with a smile.
"Hmm. Tong Lao nodded, "Although there are some genuine goods in it, most of them are fakes imitated by others, and the craftsmanship of these fakes is good, but they can't hide it from my eyes." β
Tong Lao's words made the hearts of Du Hao and the others suddenly fall into the abyss.
Only Wang Xiaochuan was still indifferent and not worried at all.
Li Rong looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Tong Lao, how much do you think this batch of goods can be worth?" β
Tong Lao pondered for a while and gave a number: "One million, this is the most, and this is still for the sake of having a few objects from the Republic of China." As for those fakes, although the craftsmanship of the people who imitated them is good, they are not yet at the realm of masters, and although they are not worthless, they are worth hundreds of thousands at most. β
Li Rong then sneered and looked at Wang Xiaochuan: "Boy, you heard it, you lost this bet!"
After that, he reached out to Wang Xiaochuan's villa and touched the key, and said proudly: "Hehe, as for this villa, I will also laugh at it......"
Seeing that his hand was only a dozen centimeters away from the key to the villa, Wang Xiaochuan's voice suddenly sounded.
"Boss Li, don't worry!"
"What? Do you still want to repay the debt?" Li Rong turned his head and said.
"Of course not, it's just that I still have one more thing here, and Tong Lao hasn't seen it yet. β
Wang Xiaochuan smiled faintly, then took out the wooden box in his hand and handed it to Tong Lao.
Tong Lao just glanced at it, and said: "Little brother, I'm afraid your wooden box is not worth much, right? This box is from the Republic of China period, but the gems on it seem to have been replaced, if you just look at the box, I can only give it an estimate of 100,000 yuan." β
"Haha, what other tricks do I have for you, it turns out to be this broken wooden box?" Li Rong was also relieved and laughed.
Wang Xiaochuan shook his head and said to Tong Lao: "Tong Lao, this time you have lost your eyes, this wooden box actually has something inside." β
"Huh?"
When Tong Lao heard this, he glanced at the wooden box a few more times, but he still shook his head: "Impossible, this box is indeed from the Republic of China, I was not mistaken." β
Even Du Hao couldn't help but say on the side: "Xiao Wang, what Tong Lao said must not have been done, this time it was you who lost your eyes." β
Li Rong also smiled: "Stinky boy, if you lose, you lose, you can't afford to lose!"
Wang Xiaochuan ignored him, but walked up to Tong Lao, took the wooden box, and threw it on the ground violently, stomping on it twice.
His strength is now extraordinary, and with just two feet, he trampled this delicate wooden box to pieces.
At least a box worth 100,000 yuan, in the blink of an eye, it has become a pile of worthless garbage.
Du Hao and the others looked at Wang Xiaochuan dumbfounded, not knowing why he did this, especially Du Wenlei, who didn't know him well, even more complained, after all, this box is their thing, why did Wang Xiaochuan trample on it?
Tong Lao is a pity, although the gems on the wooden box have been replaced, but the wooden box itself is also a work of the Republic of China, if you find a buyer who likes to collect this kind of items, maybe it is not impossible to sell for more than 100,000.
As for Li Rong, he was even more distrauded and said: "Boy, are you breaking the jar?" Let me remind you, even if you smash all the things in Boss Du's house, it is impossible for me not to want 10 million. β
Wang Xiaochuan ignored them, but squatted down, rummaged through the pile of debris, and then took out a total of fourteen colorful things from them.
When he put these things in front of Tong Lao, everyone saw clearly that what Wang Xiaochuan was holding in his hand was a bunch of stamps.
"Tong Lao, I don't know if you understand stamps?" asked Wang Xiaochuan.
"Yes, of course I do!" Tong Lao's eyes widened, and even his breathing almost stopped.
With trembling hands, he carefully took one out of it, and exclaimed, "Thisβthis is a great dragon stamp!
"This is the whole country is red?!"
"This is the Blue Army Post?!"
Tong Lao only felt that his heart had stopped beating. Although he was a man in the antique circle, he was also involved in the stamp circle, so when he saw these stamps, he immediately recognized them.
Although others have little contact with stamps, they have also heard of the names of the three sets of stamps that Tong Lao just said.
Dalong stamps are known as the most expensive stamp series in China. It was the first set of stamps issued by China in 1878. Because the design is used to symbolize the dragon of the Qing imperial family, it is referred to as the Great Dragon stamp.
The country's mountains and rivers are red, it is a kind of scarce stock, extremely high value stamps, once set the highest transaction price of domestic stamp sheets.
The Blue Army Stamp is a military stamp discovered in 1953, and it is also valuable because it has very few surviving stamps.
Li Rong stared blankly at the stamps in Wang Xiaochuan's hand, he didn't understand, why did Wang Xiaochuan actually know that there were stamps in the box? At the beginning, he himself had checked the wooden box many times, but he was stunned to see that there was such a priceless thing hidden in this box.
Not only Li Rong, Du Hao and others, but also Tong Lao, I can't understand how this Wang Xiaochuan knows that there are stamps hidden in the wooden box.
Among the people present, only Tang Fei thought that this Wang Xiaochuan must have used some special tricks to see it. Because at the party that day, he was amazed by Wang Xiaochuan's skills, since the other party already has the reputation of a miracle doctor and a medicine master, then it is not surprising to have a few other magical skills.
Wang Xiaochuan asked people to bring a collection box again, and then smiled and put these stamps in the box one by one, and then asked: "Tong Lao, can you calculate the value of these stamps?"
When Tong Lao heard this, he gathered his thoughts, and then after silently calculating it, he said: "These stamps are worth a lot of money, and I can only give you an estimated value." β
"First of all, this piece is a red color in the country, and I remember the last time it appeared at auction, it was sold for more than 7 million yuan. β
"Then there is this group of dragon stamps, as far as I mean, there was a full page of dragon stamps, sent out a price of more than five million, and here the dragon stamps are a complete group, the price is higher, if it is at auction, I think even if it is auctioned for 20 million, it is a very normal thing. β
"As for the last remaining group of Blue Army Mail, this one is even rarer, the last time I saw this thing, it was in 2011, when a set of Quartet Blue Army Mail was auctioned for more than 3 million, and now here is a complete group, if it is auctioned, it should be at least about 7 million. β
Thirty-five million, this is the last opinion given by Tong Lao.
After hearing his offer, the entire office hall fell into silence, and everyone's faces were full of great shock.
No one thought that at the last moment, a miracle really appeared, and the fake antiques that were not worth a million were worth more than 30 million at once because of these extra stamps.
In other words, in the end, Wang Xiaochuan won the bet!
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Wang Xiaochuan handed over the stamps to Du Hao, and then said: "Boss Du, these things are yours now, congratulations, you have made a lot of money in this transaction!"
"Wait!"
Before Du Hao could take the stamps, Li Rong suddenly shouted: "These stamps are mine! They are mine!"
Wang Xiaochuan turned his head and said with a faint smile: "Boss Li, you can't be mistaken, don't forget, this stamp is what I found from the wooden box, and this wooden box, you have already sold it to Boss Du, we have the transaction contract, even if you go to court, this thing will definitely not be returned to you!"
"You! you!" Li Rong was like being struck by lightning, his body was shaking, and he couldn't stand still.
At this time, Wang Xiaochuan continued to give him a fatal blow.
"Oh, that's right, Boss Li, I also won the bet this time, in other words, I will laugh at your 10 million check. β
Taking Li Rong's 10 million check from the table, Wang Xiaochuan teased Du Hao and said, "Boss Du, today is really a good day, you have earned more than 20 million, and I have also earned 10 million." β
Du Hao comprehended and laughed together: "Yes, this is thanks to our Boss Li." Boss Li, next time you have such a business, you must remember to look for me! I will definitely call Xiao Wang when the time comes!"
"You, you, you wait for me!"
Li Rong finally roared, and then his eyes went black, and he fell straight down.
