Chapter 232: The Eight Great Mountain People

In recent years, with the rise of the collecting boom, the value of antique pocket watches has risen dramatically, which has attracted attention. A silver-shelled pocket watch with a hundred flowers was only 50,000 about 8 years ago, and now it is 150,000. A Qing Dynasty pocket watch from 1830 to 1850 recently fetched 130,000 Swiss francs.

The rarer and better the condition of an antique watch, the more expensive and sought-after it becomes. Brands such as Patek Feli, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet and Rolex are among the most coveted and popular brands by collectors.

And at this time, after listening to Wu Lao's explanation, Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised, there were more than 500 kinds of parts in this pocket watch that was only the size of a palm, which was really incredible.

"Little brother, what's your name?" asked Old Wu as he turned his head.

"Hello old man, my name is Liu Dong?"

"What? What do you say your name is?" Everyone was surprised at the moment, even Zhang Weihan next to him.

And Liu Dong was even more startled by the surprised words of several old men.

"How many old men, have you heard of me?" asked Liu Dong weakly.

"Of course!" Qin Lao, who was speaking just now, looked at Liu Dong with his eyes at this moment as if he was looking at another appearance creature, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Have you ever participated in the Spring City Jade Fair?"

"yes!"

"That's right!" said Qin Lao stroking his palm suddenly.

"Hehe, we've all heard that after the end of the Quancheng Jade Fair last night, a young man named Liu Dong bet 300 million with Korean jewelry, a big predator in the jewelry industry. Finally, with a piece of glass, the imperial green. A piece of high ice is full of color Fu Lu Shou jade. Not only won the gamble, but also obtained a wealth of more than a billion, and now the entire Quancheng and the entire Dongshan Province have spread all over the world!" Wu Lao's tone was full of excitement, looking at Liu Dong's eyes were shining, and the beard on his jaw trembled.

"I didn't expect my name, everyone knows!" Liu Dong touched his nose and said secretly in his heart. Listening to this, it seems that he is now a celebrity.

Come to think of it. He couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Although Liu Dong has a calm and steady temperament, he is still a young man in the end.

"Jingle bell ......!"

At this moment, Liu Dong's mobile phone rang.

"Hey, hello!"

"Hey, is it Mr. Liu? I am Yu Yang, the purchasing manager of Jinding Jewelry, I don't know if the jadeite in Mr. Liu's hand is willing to sell, and we are willing to buy it at a high price!"

"I'm sorry, my jadeite is not for sale!I'm sorry!" Liu Dong frowned and quickly refused.

"Mr. Liu, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Otherwise, I'll find a place tonight. Let's sit down and talk about ......!"

"I'm very sorry, I don't have time at night! That's it, I still have some special urgent things to deal with here, goodbye!" After speaking, Liu Dong hung up the phone.

However, the other party is obviously not a master who can give up lightly, even after Liu Dong hung up the phone, the phone kept ringing again. In the end, Liu Dong, who was annoyed, had no choice but to shut down the phone.

"Several, I don't have flowers on my face, do I?"

Looking at the three old men, as well as Zhang Weihan's direct eyes next to him, Liu Dong touched his nose and asked.

"It's so young, even younger than the legend!" Old Man Qin said in admiration.

"Yes, I think when we were young, we didn't have the ability he has now!" Zhao Lao next to him also had a hint of emotion in his tone.

Listening to the words of the two old friends, Old Man Wu nodded, "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to have such a high attainment in gambling stones, and now he is so good at antique identification, it's really admirable!"

"Old man, you still call me Liu Dong! As for the antique appraisal, I have just started, in fact, the key to winning Boss Zhang is also based on intuition!" Of course, he didn't even believe the last sentence.

And Old Man Wu smiled and couldn't comment on Liu Dong's words.

"Liu Dong, these three things belong to you now, I don't know if you plan to collect it yourself, or sell it, if you plan to change hands, I am willing to buy it at a high price!"

After listening to Old Man Wu, the look on Zhang Weihan's face next to him became even more bitter. But he didn't say anything, after all, the rules were set by himself, and there were three old men next to him to testify, so he didn't dare to deny it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, I also like these three things, and I plan to collect them myself! I can only live up to your kindness!" Liu Dong said with a slightly respectful expression.

With Liu Dong's current net worth, selling these three antiques will make a million yuan if he dies, and this money is no longer in his eyes. In contrast, he still prefers these three antiques. Although they are not too valuable, they are still rare. Liu Dong didn't want to give up, and there were still few antique collections he was determined to build.

After listening to Liu Dong's words, Wu Lao nodded and didn't ask again. Thinking about it, since he knew that Liu Dong made a lot of money by gambling on stones, he naturally knew that unless Liu Dong really wanted to sell, it would be difficult to impress him with money alone.

And Liu Dong's words also made the other two old men lose their minds.

"Boss Zhang, the three of us came over this time, just because I heard that you received a good thing some time ago, and I want to see it, I don't know if Boss Zhang is willing to take it out?"

"Yes, of course I do!" Zhang Weihan hurriedly said.

He is in the antique business, and he just lost three antiques here in Liu Dong and broke his fortune, so he will naturally be willing to do more business and make money back!

"Mr. Liu, if you're not busy, why don't you come up and have a look!"

Although Liu Dong won three antiques just now, now that he knows Liu Dong's identity, Zhang Weihan naturally doesn't want to give up a big money owner like Liu Dong.

You must know that people like Liu Dong who like antiques and have money are the favorites of all antique shops.

"Liu Dong, if you're okay, why don't you go up and see with us! As for these three things, they will be put here first, I believe that Boss Zhang will not dare to be greedy for ink!"

"Old Wu, you are strict!" Zhang Weihan smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Liu Dong naturally moved a little bit of thought, and now there was still some time before eight o'clock in the evening, so after receiving the invitation, Liu Dong followed behind, and several people walked up to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion together.

The space on the second floor is divided into two spaces, with a thin wall at the bottom and a meter or so above, separated by a hollowed-out carved window lattice. There are two antique doors next to it, which serve as a communication between the two spaces.

"Four, please take a moment!"

As he spoke, Zhang Weihan turned around and pushed the door into the house next to him, and after a short time, he walked over with a slightly yellow picture scroll in his hand.

"Everyone, look!"

As he spoke, Zhang Weihan put the painting on the table, and then slowly unfolded it with a careful face, and then a landscape map of about two feet in size with few strokes, but full of village shops, small bridges, ancient trees, flowing water, boats and distant mountains, appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes.

"Sure enough, it is the landscape painting of the Bada Shanren, the brush is sloppy, seemingly careless, picking it up casually, and the dry and wet shades, sparse and dense virtual reality, high and low near and far, the pen and pen are not out of the law, and the artistic conception is all in the law. This kind of lawless realm is the salient feature of Zhu Qi's landscape paintings by Bada Shanren!" Old Man Wu exclaimed.

Liu Dong, a native of Bada Mountain, is no stranger to this who was originally a descendant of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but after the death of the Ming Dynasty, he became a monk and became a monk, and he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty all his life, and regarded himself as a remnant of the Ming Dynasty and refused to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty. Compared with Boya and Shuqi, he admires celebrities very much.

Moreover, this Bada Mountain Man Zhu Qi, who has achieved great achievements in calligraphy and painting, is a famous painter in the early Qing Dynasty, and is known as the 'Four Monks' along with Shi Tao, Zhu Cripple, and Hongren. It occupies a high position in the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy.

"'There are no more ink spots and many tears, and the mountains and rivers are still the old mountains and rivers', the landscape paintings of the eight mountain people Zhu Qi take more of the desolate and sparse scenes, the remaining mountains and rivers, and the feelings of Yangsai are overflowing in the paper, and this time it is really the case!"

……

Listening to the admiration of several old men, Zhang Weihan's face couldn't help but bloom with joy, this landscape painting of Zhu Qi, a Bada Shanren, took a lot of effort to collect it. Naturally, I want to sell it for a good price today.

It's just that what puzzled him was that Liu Dong, the big money owner he was most optimistic about, had no expression from beginning to end.

Of course, Liu Dong himself really likes this painting of Bada Shanren, but he is a junior and doesn't want to take away the love of these three old men, not to mention that they helped him just now.

"Boss Zhang, this thing is good, can you make a price?" After admiring it for nearly a quarter of an hour, Wu Lao stood up and said.

"Also, Lao Qin, Lao Zhao, it's my turn this time, you two are not allowed to rob me! Especially you Lao Zhao, you guy is much richer than me!"

The three old men are all human spirits, and they naturally know that if the three of them bid, they can only make the things they are optimistic about more valuable, so they have already said the order of distribution before, and this time it is the turn of Wu Lao.

"Okay, okay! We won't fight with you!" Qin Lao looked at the landscape painting on the table, and his eyes were somewhat reluctant. He also likes the paintings of these Bada Shanren.

"Old Wu, we don't fight, but there is a big money owner next to us!"

Listening to Zhao Lao's joking words, and looking at everyone's eyes looking at him, Liu Dong hurriedly shook his hand, "Wu Lao, although I also like this painting, but the gentleman does not win people's love, since you like it, then I will forget it!"

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Weihan's eyes. And the old man Wu was happy on his face, "Okay, this time the old man has accepted your affection, if you need help in the future, just go to the Quancheng Antique Collection Association to find me!"

Seeing this, Liu Dong smiled and nodded.

At this time, seeing that Old Man Wu's eyes were on him, Zhang Weihan saw that no one was bidding, so he secretly gritted his teeth in his heart and directly raised the price to a high position. (To be continued......)
