Chapter 24: Three and a half million
Chapter 24 Three and a half million
"Snuff bottles? It's in good condition! ”
Looking at the exquisite porcelain placed in the center of the table by Liu Dong, Zhao Defa said with admiration in his tone.
Although, when he first started collecting, he always made eyes because of his poor eyesight. But after suffering a lot, the natural eyesight slowly came up. Therefore, when Liu Dong took out the things, Zhao Defa could still see some traces of treasures and antiques from this snuff bottle.
"Little brother, can I get over it?" Seeing that Hunting was overjoyed, Zhao Defa couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, Mr. Zhao, please!" Liu Dong said politely.
Zhao Defa still understands the rules in the antique shop. So after getting Liu Dong's permission, he carefully picked up the snuff bottle on the table, put it in his hand and looked through it carefully.
And as time passed, the joy on Zhao Defa's face became stronger and stronger. In addition, he has a deep understanding of the character of Li Lao and Uncle Long, and he doesn't believe that the two of them will let one of their juniors fool him with a fake thing.
"It's good, little brother, can you make a price?" After reading it, Zhao Defa did not put it down, but directly held it in his hand and asked. Just now, he already knew from Li Lao's mouth that this snuff bottle was going to be sold, so it didn't look abrupt now.
"Why, aren't you afraid that this thing is fake?" At this time, Uncle Long's mood also calmed down, looked at Zhao Defa, who was about to buy it, and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I don't believe in others, I can still trust Li Lao and Uncle Long!"
Hearing this, Li Lao smiled faintly and said: "This thing is called 'Copper Fetal Painting Enamel Lotus Pond Snuff Bottle', which is a thing made by the Kangxi court in the Qing Dynasty, an authentic royal system, and the market price is about three million!" Of course, what Li Lao said is that this is the auction price, and it is generally not encountered that you really like snuff bottle collection, and in the auction market for two thousand years, fine snuff bottles can not be sold at such a high price.
"Little brother, three and a half million! How about transferring it to me? After listening to Elder Li's words, Zhao Defa asked without hesitation.
The reason why such a high price is actually more on the face of Li Lao and Uncle Long. Otherwise, not only will he not increase the price, but he will even continue to reduce the price to buy this fine snuff bottle.
After listening to his words, Liu Dong, who had hoped to sell this thing for a large sum of money, had no hypocrisy at all, so he happily agreed. He knew that if it weren't for the face of Li Lao and Uncle Long today, even if his snuff bottle was a fine product, he might not be able to sell it at such a sky-high price.
"Okay, just according to Mr. Zhao, three and a half million!"
Hearing this, Zhao Defa's face showed joy, and he immediately continued to ask: "Does the little brother have a bank card?" I'll tell someone to transfer money to you right away! ”
Liu Dong naturally has a bank card, but in order to send money to his family, he did a bank card of the Agricultural Bank of China, and after handing over the card number to Zhao Defa, he saw him take out his mobile phone and make a call, and in less than a minute, he hung up and said with a smile: "Okay, little brother, the money has been called, you can call to check!" ”
"No, I believe in Mr. Zhao's character! This Kangxi snuff bottle is officially yours! ”
After listening to his words, Uncle Long, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but show a playful smile on his face, and he was the only one who knew that Liu Dong didn't have a mobile phone on him at all, so even if he wanted to, he couldn't check it, so it was better to be generous and leave a good impression on Zhao Defa.
"Hehe, the little brother is really a bold person! In this way, today we are officially acquainted, don't call me Mr. Zhao, if you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Zhao. "Everyone likes to listen to good words, and Zhao Defa is the same, plus Liu Dong's relationship with Li Lao and Uncle Long, so Zhao De's speech is very close.
"Brother Zhao!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Although the two sides only met for the first time today, they are not familiar with each other, but through the contact just now, Liu Dong found that Zhao Defa is still a good person, although he is worth hundreds of millions, but he doesn't want some self-made rich people to be domineering, and there is a unique bold atmosphere of northerners between words and deeds.
After Liu Dong came into contact for the first time, he couldn't help but feel close.
"Okay, haha, then I'll call you Xiaodong too!" Zhao De laughed.
"In that case, wouldn't we be at a loss, you guy is the same generation as us!" Pointing at Zhao Defa, Li Lao said with a rare joke.
"Hehe, Lao Li, I think we're still going our separate ways! When the time comes, it will save you trouble! ”
After Zhao Defa heard this, he also nodded and smiled, "It's still according to what Elder Long said, let's talk about it separately!" ”
After everyone laughed for a while, Zhao Defa raised his head and said to Liu Dong: "Xiaodong, three days later, you will also come to my house with Li Lao, when the time comes, my brother and I will be Dong, and we will invite you and Li Lao to eat together, of course, if Uncle Long also goes, I am more welcome!" ”
Looking at Zhao Defa's earnest eyes, the old and refined Long Lao naturally understood his intentions, so he waved his hand immediately and refused: "Forget it, I'm a carpenter, a carver, and I don't know what antique appraisal is, so I won't go!" Let Xiaodong go! It just opened his eyes! ”
After listening to Uncle Long, Zhao Defa's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment, in fact, he still wanted to see if he could have more contact with Uncle Long, so that he could change his mind and continue to be the gambling consultant of Huatai Group, but now it seems that there is little hope.
When Liu Dong and the others came out of Li Lao's Agarwood Pavilion, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, but because it was summer, the days were long and the nights were short, so at seven o'clock, although the sun had already set, the light outside was still bright.
"Uncle Long, Xiaodong, I still have something to do when I go back to the company, so I'll go first!" Standing outside the Agarwood Pavilion, Zhao Defa said first.
This time, I originally wanted to invite Long Lao out of the mountain to represent Huatai Group to participate in the Wood Plugging Conference held in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 15th of next month, but now Uncle Long is determined to wash his hands in a golden basin, so Huatai Group must look for a new one in a little more than a month, not to mention comparable to Long Lao, but at least it should be about the same as the wood plugging master.
To be honest, in this era when machine making is popular, handmade wood carving and hand-made ancient furniture are becoming more and more declining, it is really difficult to find a good wood plugging master. Therefore, Zhao De found that what he wanted most was to return to the company as much as possible, and then convene the leaders of various departments to instruct the matter of looking for a new gambling stone master, knowing that this is a major event related to the development of Huatai Group. Don't be sloppy.
After listening to his words, looking at the hint of urgency in his eyes, Uncle Long also understood Zhao Defa's intentions, so he nodded.
"Xiaodong, don't forget to come to my house with Mr. Li in three days, and I'll show you those collections of mine when the time comes!"
"Well, Brother Zhao, I'll go with Elder Li in three days!" Liu Dong nodded and said.
After seeing Liu Dong agree, Zhao Defa turned around and said hello to Li Lao, who was standing at the door of the Agarwood Pavilion, then greeted the two bodyguards who followed him and left in a hurry.
Immediately, Liu Dong made an appointment with Li Lao to meet three days later, and then left the Agarwood Pavilion with Uncle Long.
"Xiaodong, now you can also say that you are a millionaire, so with this money, what do you plan to do in the future?" Walking on the street, looking at the flow of people, Uncle Long suddenly turned his head and asked.
Hearing Uncle Long's words, Liu Dong didn't think about it, and almost immediately said the ideal that he had buried in his heart for many years, "Uncle Long, I want to set up a shop in the antique city, buy jade and wood by myself, and then carve it out and sell it." Then with the rest of the money, I plan to buy another house in Quancheng and bring my parents and sister from the countryside. ”
