With this wry smile, Yang Hongtu naturally understood its meaning, glanced around, and asked in a low voice, "Why, Lao Lin, he didn't come?"

"If he comes, he'll probably sit next to me. The old man continued to smile wryly.

"Did you send him the post?"

"It's been posted a long time ago, in fact, it doesn't matter if he posts it or not, if he has the heart, he must remember today's day. The old man sighed and said: "Twenty years ago today, I think that the three of us brothers drank and talked happily after seeing off the batch of guests, which was really chic, but ten years ago today, Lao Lin no longer appeared in our Gui family, I don't think he will forgive me, and he will not come today." ”

"Lao Gui, there are some things, but you can't come in a hurry, just let it go. Yang Hongtu patted the old man's shoulder and comforted.

The two old men were chatting, and at this time, the host of ceremonies, who was in charge of the birthday, began to speak on the stage.

It's nothing more than some words on the table, congratulating the old man on his seventieth birthday.

After the emcee's passionate speech, it was the first part of the birthday, and all the guests presented gifts to the old birthday star.

In fact, this kind of birthday is just a lively picture, the gift is not a gift is secondary, the Gui family is rich, and there is no shortage of money, as long as the guests have that mind.

And all the guests also understand this, but Rao is like this, the gifts offered by everyone are not heavy, and the lowest is also a gift worth 100,000 yuan. And so far, the highest has offered millions of dollars worth of gifts.

"Mr. Yang Hongtu of the Yang family, present a red coral, I wish Mr. Gui Gongling, as blessed as the East China Sea, and Shoubi Nanshan!" At this time, the master of ceremonies on the stage suddenly reported the salute.

As soon as they heard that it was red coral, hundreds of guests in the hall couldn't help but look towards the stage, only to see that there was a bonsai-sized thing on the platform, which was in the shape of a tree branch and dark red all over. As soon as I saw something like this. Some knowledgeable people couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Red coral, look at the texture and color, it should be made of live coral, and in this way, I'm afraid the value is also tens of millions." ”

Red coral is an organic gemstone. Together with pearls and amber, it is known as one of the three major organic gemstones, and is also listed as one of the seven treasures in China, and it grows in the deep sea 2,000 meters away from humans.

Natural red corals are made up of polyps and grow very slowly. It is not renewable, and more importantly, red coral only grows in the three major straits, which is limited by the sea area, so red coral is extremely precious. It is also valued by people in the collecting world.

Red corals are generally valued according to color, red corals have dark red, pink, flesh red, pink, orange, milky yellow, milky white, among them, the value of dark flowers is the most expensive.

The red coral sent by Yang Hongtu is about a foot high, with a dark red color all over it, and it is estimated to be valuable. At least tens of millions of dollars upwards.

Although Gui Gongling was not very interested in collecting, he knew a little about this red coral, and he couldn't help but say to Yang Hongtu: "Old Yang, it's just a birthday, can you spend so much money?

"Haha, my friend's righteousness is worth a thousand dollars, and I won't tell you, just to pick a gift for you, Shaotian and I have been choosing it repeatedly, and we have been preparing it for a long time. Later, I thought about it, or this red coral is the most suitable, red coral is one of the seven treasures of China, since ancient times regarded as a rich and auspicious thing. I'm sending you this, and it's my birthday wishes. ”

After Yang Hongtu saw that he gave away red coral, everyone in the audience was discussed, and his eyes were a little colorful. After all, as one of the three major families in the capital, and the one who celebrates his birthday today is also his best friend, of course he wants to give a gift that is overwhelming.

Actually, it's not just this time. On the birthday of Gui Gongling a few times ago, his gift was also the most expensive in the audience, after all, everyone knew the relationship between the Gui and Yang families, and no one would steal the limelight with him.

However, today seems to be a little different from the past, Yang Hongtu was proud for a while, and the emcee on the stage reported: "Chen Tianzheng's son Chen Qiangwei presented a pair of ancient paintings of "Tao Lin Shu", wishing the old gentleman Gui Gongling good luck, good health, and a happy 70th birthday!"

"Gift Tao Lin Book? This is not the painting of Master Xu Beihong, the father of modern Chinese painting?"

"Yes, I heard that the painting of Tao Linshu was auctioned for more than 15 million yuan not long ago, and it turned out to be bought by Chen Tianzheng. ”

"Haha, the Chen family is really generous, the Yang family can't compare to him, and this time the Yang family was slapped in the face by the Chen family. ”

After the master of ceremonies reported the salute again, there was another discussion in the audience, but this discussion was much more enthusiastic than the previous sight of red coral.

It is said that this Tao Linshu is a businessman, and the great painter Xu Beihong is a father-son relationship, Xu Beihong before becoming famous, sojourn in the Tao family, in life and study by Tao Linshu more care. Later, when Xu Beihong became famous, Tao Lin's calligrapher suffered an accident, Xu Beihong thought of the old grace, and sent money and works to support the Tao family many times, and this "gift Tao Lin book" was one of the gifts that year.

Because this "gift Tao Lin Book" is a painting by Master Xu Beihong, and there is such a grateful story behind it, so after several hypes, when it was transferred to the hands of the Chen family, it had reached a high of 15 million.

Among the guests in the audience, there are also some people who understand the collection market, and when they saw that the Chen family sent a painting of "Gift Tao Lin Book", it was obvious that the value was higher than that of the Yang family, and they couldn't help but talk about it.

This Chen Qiangwei, the son of Chen Tianzheng of the Chen family, is the young man who wanted to shake hands with Tang Ya before but was refused, at this time Chen Qiangwei heard the voices of everyone in the audience, walked to Yang Shaotian's side and said: "Yang Shao, I'm really embarrassed, my father asked me to give Old Man Gui this gift, just out of a heart, I didn't think about suppressing anyone, in fact, I didn't expect that your family only sent red coral." ”

The implication is that although red coral is good, it is not valuable enough, if your Yang family is generous, you will not be suppressed by our Chen family.

"It's okay, Chen Shao, today is Old Man Gui's birthday, and whatever gift everyone gives is their heart, don't think too complicated. Yang Shaotian nodded at Chen Qiangwei, and then frowned secretly, not that the gift given by the depressed was pressed down by the Chen family, but that he felt that this Chen Qiangwei used to look groveling in front of him, but how could there be a faint element of demonstration in his speech today.
