Chapter 311 'Four Monks' Hongren's True Works

"By the way, there is one more thing, after these jadeite rough stones arrive at Qing-Island, they need to be declared and paid taxes, and you still need to come forward!"

"Okay, I know, I'll go there myself when the time comes!"

After agreeing, Liu Dong chatted with Wichai Sawan Susi for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

Then Liu Dong took the mobile phone and thought about it, and found Xie Zhonglin's phone number from the phone book. When Liu Dong signed a contract with him to purchase Dingfu Jewelry Company, he promised the two parties to establish a joint venture gambling stone company. And Liu Dong occupies 49% of the shares in this company.

Now in the past month or so, in addition to investing more than 10 million yuan in it according to the proportion of shares, and then sending a financial representative to supervise the company's finances, and a company director to supervise the company's operation on his behalf and protect his interests, there has been no action, but for this gambling stone company named Fuxing by Xie Zhonglin, Liu Dong has not relaxed his attention to him.

In just over a month, Xie Zhonglin used the connections he had accumulated over the years to establish gambling stone fields in several cities around Quancheng, and now the decoration has been completed, just waiting for the gambling stones to enter.

"Hey, Lao Xie! I'm Liu Dong!"

"Oh, Brother Liu, have you arrived at the rough stone in Myanmar, now our store has expanded to eight, just wait for your rough stone to be cooked, and then we will open to make money! This matter can't be delayed any longer!" In the face of Xie Zhonglin's old-fashioned complaints, this time Liu Dong was not as perfunctory as before.

"I called today to tell you about this, I just received a call from Myanmar, and the jade rough will be able to arrive at Qingdao in two days!"

"Really? Great. Hope for the stars and the moon. Finally look forward to these stones!" Xie Zhonglin had become completely excited on the phone.

"That's right. How many rough stones are there this time, if there are too few, it will not be enough for us to sell, and we will have to worry about this when the time comes!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and said: "More than 3,000 rough stones, worth 150 million!" Of course, the reason why I was able to buy so many rough stones was because most of them were not very valuable road goods. If all of them have python belts, pine flowers, ringworm, these obvious characteristics can be emerald. 150 million is good enough to get a third.

Of course, the root cause of this was also mentioned by Liu Dong to Xie Zhonglin before. So after hearing what Liu Dong said, he was not much surprised.

"More than 3,000 rough stones, worth 150 million, which is really a lot!" Xie Zhonglin said excitedly.

"By the way, Lao Xie will have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we will go to Qing-Dao, how can the jade rough be considered an import, pay tariffs, and have other troubles. We still need to come forward to solve it!" Liu Dong said.

Of course, this hassle is the payment thing. At present, international trade is generally used in US dollars, so Liu Dong's 150 million yuan will eventually be converted into US dollars and handed over to Wichai Sawan Susi.

However, the US dollar belongs to foreign exchange, and foreign exchange is regulated in China, so if you want to exchange the Chinese currency into foreign exchange, you have to run a lot of legs. Of course, at this moment, Liu Dong had already made up his mind in his heart to hand over this troublesome matter to Xie Zhonglin, who called him the major shareholder of the company.

"Okay, no problem! I'm going to book a plane ticket!"

"By the way, I can order one for me!" explained it, and then after the two of them were better at the time of departure the day after tomorrow, Liu Dong hung up the phone.

After looking at the time and finding that it was already half past six in the evening, Liu Dong put away the books on the table, then closed the door and walked out of the courtyard.

This time is in the summer, which is the time for people to come out to play in the coolness, so at the moment the antique street is full of people and is very lively.

At this time, there are many people, and it is obviously impossible to drive out. Seeing this, Liu Dong simply left the car here, and walked out, anyway, it has been a long time since he visited the antique street, and today is an opportunity.

Quancheng is also a thousand-year-old city, not only the birthplace of the prehistoric culture Longshan culture, but also the Xia, Shang and Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, which can be described as a thick history and splendid culture. From ancient times to the present, there are many literati and scholars in the ancestral home of Quancheng, and there have been many scholars in Quancheng for generations.

Although the antique street of Quancheng is not as prosperous as the national antique market such as Panjiayuan, it is also worthy of the word 'prosperous'. Otherwise, Old Ancestor Li would not have moved the Agarwood Pavilion from the capital here.

"Boss, that box at your feet is very beautiful, how can you sell it?"

The 'burden Zhai' that Liu Dong asked was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and after hearing Liu Dong's words, he glanced at him and said with a smile: "200,000, no two prices!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and didn't say anything.

The box he asked about just now was called the official hat box, and it was the size of an unfolded notebook, but the thing was from the Qianlong period, and the pattern of the literati and scholars inlaid with luodian around it was very beautiful.

In addition, although this box is called 'Official Hat Box,But it's not really used to hold official hats.,Why it has this name.,There's no explanation now.,But this box is really very exquisite.,And there are a lot of small drawers inside the box.,It's quite like a treasure chest.。 However, this antique, whose full name is 'Black Lacquer Inlaid Luodian Kaiguang Hundred Treasures Official Hat Box', is now worth 200,000 yuan.

Now looking at the expression on the middle-aged man's face, he knows that he knows this box very well, and he specially puts it at his feet, which is obviously more important, and it should be something that this 'baggage Zhai' uses to attract customers. Without 200,000, he wouldn't have sold.

Seeing that he couldn't pick up the leak, Liu Dong didn't say anything more, anyway, he just asked, it wasn't too precious, and he didn't care too much if he could take it.

In addition, in this stall where most of the old paintings and calligraphy, books, old newspapers, and villain books are placed, there are things that are more valuable than this one and more worthy of his investment.

Then, Liu Dong walked to the scroll of paintings placed in the center of the stall by the middle-aged man and began to look through them. Of course, most of them are worn-out prints, and of course there is a good thing in them. When Liu Dong finally saw a vertical scroll with dead trees, bamboo, and stones, about four square feet in size, his heart was hot. Then he rolled up the painting, then took another one from the side, and asked with a smile, "Boss, how much are these two paintings?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged burden Zhai, after taking the painting, he didn't look at it, but after looking at Liu Dong, he said with a smile: "My calligraphy and paintings here are all handwritten by famous artists, one painting is 5,000, and two paintings are 10,000!"

However, Liu Dong was not angry, the baggage and antique shops in the entire Quancheng Antique Street were a virtue, and he himself was the same.

"Boss, I saw the "Qingming Riverside Map" in it just now, is it also 5,000?" Liu Dong asked with a smile while holding a thick painting scroll in his hand.

Seeing this, the embarrassed look on the face of the middle-aged burden Zhai flashed away, and primary school students all know that Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is one of the top ten famous paintings in the country, and it is now treasured in the Palace Museum.

Now, although he didn't say it explicitly, the underlying meaning of Liu Dong's sentence was, 'I know that your calligraphy and paintings here are fakes, so be honest, don't fool me!'

Next, as Liu Dong expected, the prices of the two paintings dropped sharply, two hundred yuan, and two paintings were purchased. Of course, Liu Dong really likes one of them.

However, Liu Dong didn't take two steps when he turned around and was stopped by the people behind him.

"Old Wu?" Looking at the kind old man behind him who was wearing a white shoulder and holding a pu fan in his hand, like the uncle next door, Liu Dongyu asked with surprise.

"Hehe, it's rare that you still know me!"

"Of course I know!" I think that when I was fighting treasures in Zhang Weihan's 'Treasure Pavilion', this Old Man Wu, Old Man Zhao, and Old Man Qin helped Liu Dong a lot. Let Liu Dong win the Ming Dynasty Huanghuali circle chair, Tan Yanmin's handwritten "Zeng Guo Fan's Family Book" and the Qing Dynasty three-question pocket watch. Although the value is not high, they are all three relatively good antiques, and they add up to more than one million.

"Let's go, it's not convenient to talk here, there's a teahouse in front of you that's very good, let's go and sit!"

After listening to the old man's words, Liu Dong naturally had no opinion.

Then the two chatted while walking, walked to the intersection of Antique City Street and turned right, and then asked for a private room in an SF teahouse and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, before Liu Dong could speak, the old man couldn't wait to say: "Hurry up and let me see the painting you just bought, you put it away too quickly just now, and we didn't see it too clearly." ”

"What's the matter, the old man was on the side just now?" Liu Dong picked out a shorter one of the two paintings and handed it over.

"Of course, the old man lives near this antique street, and almost every night he will come to go crazy when he has nothing to do, and today I happened to meet you kid, I wanted to say hello to you, and saw that you were negotiating the price with that baggage fast, so I didn't open my mouth. After a pause, he glanced at Liu Dong with a little envy, and continued, "But you kid is lucky, this "Dead Wood, Bamboo and Stone Picture" by Hongren, one of the four monks in the early Qing Dynasty, let your kid take it for 100 yuan! I think I bought the "Banana Bamboo and Stone Scroll" by Zhu Qi of the Bada Shanren from Zhang Weihan, but it cost more than 2 million! And the size is not as big as yours, but you kid has picked up a big leak. ”

Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled and didn't say anything, for fear of arousing the old man's jealousy again.

According to the current market price, the market price of his Hongren's "Dead Wood, Bamboo and Stone" with the seals of Zheng Banqiao and Wu Guanzhong is at least 3 million. (To be continued......)
