It was because of the existence of tricolor gemstones and black enamel that Li Du had the idea of exploring the true identity of the locket. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He had read it in a book about jewelry culture, and although this statement came from China, for Asia as a whole and East Asia in particular, the legend of the jade bird and jadeite jewelry were always linked.

Seeing the delicate red, blue, and green gemstones on the small box, Li Du thought, if this box is really a cheap product made of artificial gemstones, then there is no need to inlay gems on it to decorate.

After all, this is in the United States, and American jadeite products have nothing to do with the rumors of the emerald bird, even if they use gemstones for decoration, they will not just choose red, blue and green gemstones.

If the jade lockets came from East Asia or even China, they would not have bothered to make such exquisite fakes and sell them to the United States.

Moreover, the gems on the box are exactly nine, which is in line with the supreme description of the emerald bird, a series of coincidences together, then it cannot be called a coincidence.

It was with this in mind that he found the suspicion and finally found out the true identity of the locket.

The applause from the audience poured up like a tide, and Li Du became interested and explained: "The poem I just wrote is a Chinese Tang poem, are you interested in knowing its interpretation?"

The crowd shouted, "Translate, kid, translate." ”

Li Du said: "There is a bird called jade, it nests on the coast of the South China Sea, both male and female inhabit the jungle, and the traces left by the flight can be made into beautiful jewelry, and its feathers are even more dazzling and colorful!"

Sophie looked at him with adoration and clapped along with the congregation, while asking, "Is what you said true?"

Li Du nodded confidently and said, "Yes, it's true." ”

Sitting below, Malatay was dumbfounded, looking at Li Du who was confident and free on the stage, he was incredulous and envious and jealous in his heart.

This is his home stadium, but why is such a loud applause for his opponent?

Stabilizing his mind, he said loudly: "This is all your own words, who knows if this is true or false?

Malathail's voice sounded, and many people nodded their heads, and they also had this doubt in their hearts.

Li Du opened the box and pulled out the remaining lipstick, revealing the two lines of letters at the bottom of the box, and then showed it to everyone.

"There are two languages in this, one is Burmese, which may not be understood by everyone, but the next one is English, so everyone should be able to understand the name, right?"

"Angkor Danway?" said Russell Duche in the front row.

Li Du smiled and nodded: "Yes, you can search for this person on the Internet, he is a master of Burmese jadeite and jade products." ”

Marathai wanted to speak, but Li Du didn't give him a chance and continued: "Of course, everyone can completely doubt that someone has forged the name of Mr. Angkor Thanway on it?"

This is a reasonable guess, but you must know that Mr. Angkor Thanway is not well-known in the United States, and who would have to go to great lengths to engrave his name on a fake? ”

"Besides, I can promise you that this box is made of jadeite, the gems on it are all real, and it is also from the hands of the master, and it is a well-deserved limited edition jewelry!"

Everyone nodded, and Malathai seized the gap and shouted, "What is your promise?"

Duqi stood up and said, "I can vouch for Lee, he is not a liar, this young man is the only young man I have seen in recent years, and his promise carries a lot of weight!"

Li Du smiled: "Thank you, Russell, if someone doesn't believe it, they can take the box and do the identification, the material and the handwriting of the signature, and the result will finally prove that what I said is true." ”

Martin also stood up and said, "That kid is my daughter's friend, a very good friend, and I can vouch for him." ”

Tyke and the others stood up one after another and said, "Although this young man Li is not very familiar with us, he once risked offending the Comanches to help us, and he helped us beautifully, and we can vouch for him." ”

Auctioneer Lewis added a fire at the end: "Du Li, a super treasure picker from mysterious China, he is the strongest rookie in Flagpole City and even the Arizona Warehouse Auction Association, and in our industry, his name is a golden sign!"

Now no one was unconvinced, and Marathai wanted to speak, but he found that he had nothing to say.

The priest came out and said, "Everyone, for now, let's continue our auction." Mr. Li, are you going to auction this jewelry box?"

Li Du said: "It's not me, it's actually Miss Sophie Martin, Miss Martin didn't introduce the box clearly, I'm here to introduce the box to her." ”

As he spoke, he winked at Sophie and said, "Let's let the auction go ahead, but we have to change the starting price, and I think 10,000 yuan is appropriate." ”

Sophie's eyes were filled with water, and she said, "You say it, Lee." ”

Li Du lifted the box and said: "The fine jade lipstick box, inlaid with pure three rubies, three sapphires and three turquoise, it is a masterpiece of Myanmar jewelry masters, the starting price of 10,000 yuan is absolutely reasonable, who wants to accept it?"

There were many wealthy people present, and Marathai was right about one thing, the charity auction is not just about donating money, and the result that everyone wants is a win-win situation.

10,000 yuan to buy a jade jewelry box inlaid with precious stones, this is the price of cabbage, Du Qi and the others can see the beauty of the box, they know what such handiwork means.

A middle-aged white man with a beautiful female companion raised his hand and said, "Ten thousand yuan, I accept it." ”

Li Du pointed at him and said, "Okay, this gentleman pays 10,000 yuan, who is willing to pay a higher price, such as 11,000 yuan?"

Du Qi happily raised his hand and said, "Eleven thousand." ”

Li Du smiled: "Mr. Duqi gave 11,000 yuan, I guess he wants to use it to make a stamp collection box, although this is a bit extravagant, but I know that he has a lot of more precious stamps, so, this is a ......good match."

"Twelve thousand. "Someone else has an offer.

"Why don't you make 13,000?"

"I'm willing to come out!"

"Fifteen thousand dollars, my daughter Barbara loves East Asian jewelry, and I just happened to lack a graduation gift. ”

"Sixteen thousand ......"

The price slowly rose by 1,000 yuan, and Li Du served as the auctioneer, and he saw a lot and did it like a decent one, and he was always in control of the situation.

In the end, a white man in his fifties and sixties offered a price of 20,000 yuan, and Du Qi and others shook their heads and withdrew from the bid.

Li Du stretched out his hand and pointed at him and said, "This rich and benevolent gentleman is about to donate 20,000 yuan to the church, so the first 20,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan will ...... the second time."

He looked at the audience with blazing eyes and said, "20,000 yuan for the third time!" I declare that this jade jewelry box belongs to this kind gentleman!"

When the words fell, everyone stood up and applauded!
