Chapter 19: 'A Lot of Money'

"Xiaodong, your eyesight is good! If I'm not mistaken, this should be the imperial snuff bottle of the Kangxi Dynasty court office, which is rare now, and what is even more rare is that this one is very well preserved, basically without any damage. After a pause, "I think I only saw one similar to you in the Palace Museum, but the quality is not as good as yours!" ”

After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, because on the orb in his mustard seed space, the identification results presented were the same as what the old man said, which was 'Qing Kangxi Imperial Copper Fetal Painting Enamel Lotus Pond Picture Snuff Bottle'!

"Hehe, since Lao Li said so, then this thing is not wrong. Xiaodong, you have found a treasure this time! Uncle Long, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile, Liu Dong was like a nephew in his eyes, and when he saw him pick up a big leak at this moment, the old man was naturally happy for him in his heart.

"Old Li, I bought this thing from the stall for fifty yuan just now, I want to ask how much it is worth now?" Liu Dong touched his nose and said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Although he knows that this thing is very rare, and he also wants to collect it himself, Liu Dong also knows in his heart that playing collecting is first to have capital, and in layman's terms, it is necessary to have money. And now he is most lacking money. So after hearing Li Lao tell the origin of this snuff bottle, Liu Dong had a plan to sell it in his heart.

Moreover, now that he has the ability in his eyes to rely on, he believes that he will definitely be invincible in Taobao in the future, and good antique treasures, even national treasures, will definitely be able to receive them in his hands, so if he can sell this treasure snuff bottle and exchange it for a sum of money, Liu Dong is still very willing in his heart.

"Fifty bucks?" Li Lao's face was surprised for a while, "Then you really picked up a big leak now, most of the high-quality snuff bottles on the market now are from the Qianlong period, and there are relatively few in the Kangxi year, and there are even fewer high-quality products like this one in your hand." If you conservatively estimate it, the price should also be around 2.5 million, and it may be higher if it is auctioned, but after removing the handling fee, it is not too much! ”

"Two and a half million!" Although he knew that this thing might be worth a lot of money before, when he really heard this number from Li Lao's mouth, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

After all, since he was a child, the largest sum of money he has ever seen is less than 100,000, and 1 million is an astronomical amount for him now, and 2.5 million is often a fortune number, which is too far away from him. And now as long as he sells the snuff bottle he picked up for fifty yuan, he can immediately exchange it for two and a half million, which can't help but make Liu Dong, who has experienced too many hardships in life, completely lose his previous peace in his heart.

"Look at your kid's appearance, isn't it 2.5 million? As long as you learn carving well, you can earn this money in less than two or three years! Uncle Long, who was sitting on the side, was also a little surprised by the high price of this snuff bottle.

However, although he does not belong to the antique shop, he is still very clear about the huge profits in the antique shop, and seeing Liu Dong's expression, Old Man Long is also afraid that after he suddenly gets such a large fortune, he will lose the perseverance and determination to make progress in carving. It's really more than worth the loss.

Hearing the old man's words, Liu Dong took a deep breath, and soon the expression on his face gradually calmed down.

Seeing him like this, the two old men glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile and nodded secretly. They have seen too many people who have completely lost their minds in the face of huge wealth, so that there are examples of brothers Xiao Wall, father and son turning against each other.

And Liu Dong's appearance undoubtedly made them look up to him, and at the same time, he also really recognized the person in front of him, especially Li Lao, who really appreciated Liu Dong now, and Uncle Long really made a decision in his heart at this time.

"Xiaodong, if you are not in a hurry to use the money, don't sell this thing first, there are not many high-quality snuff bottles in the Kangxi Dynasty Office now. In addition, the current antique art market is bullish, so it is very good to collect this object yourself! Li Lao said.

After listening to his words, Liu Dong's heart was also moved, to be honest, he also likes to collect it very much, and he does like this Kangxi copper tire enamel snuff bottle.

But in the end, Liu Dong still shook his head with a firm expression, "Old Li, thank you for your kind words, but I still decided to sell it!" With this money, not only will he be able to achieve his goal of opening a shop in the antique city, but he will also be able to bring his parents and sister from the countryside to the city to enjoy the blessings!

Hearing his words, Li Lao and Uncle Long didn't say anything more, they could all see that Liu Dong had made up his mind. If you persuade again, it will annoy people!

"Well, since you say that, then I won't say anything more!" After a pause, Li Lao continued: "If you can trust me, then I will find someone to take a look tomorrow, he likes this kind of object very much, and I believe that the price he offered will definitely not be as low as in the auction!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Liu Dong said gratefully.

"Lao Li, you can't be talking about Mr. Zhao, who is known as 'Qian Duoduo', right?" At this time, Uncle Long, who was sitting on the side, lowered his head and thought for a few minutes, then suddenly asked.

"Yes, that's him!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Uncle Long couldn't help but laugh at first, "Haha, Xiaodong, you're going to make a fortune this time!" After a pause, "Remember tomorrow, don't let go if you get stuck with three million, Mr. Zhao is the chairman of Huatai Group, and eight million is not a matter for him at all, so don't be polite!" ”

After listening to Uncle Long's words, Liu Dong couldn't help but take a breath in his heart, although he usually studied carving and basically didn't watch much TV, but he still knew about the famous Huatai Group.

For this, this year has just been rated by Dongshan Province as one of the 24 large-scale backbone enterprises and the provincial government to focus on cultivating one of the 20 well-known brand enterprises, but also the world's largest newsprint production base, the National Bureau of Statistics announced the first national large enterprise group competitiveness of the top 500 ranked third. Involved in the scope of papermaking, chemical, printing, thermal power, forestry, logistics, business services and other industries of large groups, the total assets of not less than 10 billion, as the chairman of the group, can imagine how rich he should be. It really deserves the name of 'Lots of Money'!

After listening to his old friend's words, Li Lao's face couldn't help but show a smile.

The shopkeeper of the shops in the Quancheng antique market is almost no stranger to Zhao Defa, the chairman of Huatai Group, because this self-made billionaire, like all people who have risen from the grassroots, loves to collect, of course, his collection is not as elegant as most people in the rich circle, but he really likes it.

But this person has a shortcoming that is not a shortcoming, that is, he likes to pick up leaks on Taobao, but his eyesight is not good, so he often spends tens of millions of money, and more than 95% of the things he buys back are fakes.

But even so, for Zhao Defa, who is worth a lot of money, the money he lost from playing and collecting is only a drop in the bucket on him, and it does not affect his interest in Taobao to pick up leaks. Although I have suffered a lot of losses, I still enjoy it. Therefore, after a few years, this person also got a nickname of 'Qian Duoduo' in the Quancheng antique market!
