Chapter 8: Apologies (4)
Lin Kongqing nodded, and took over the old man's last commission.
Steward Chen seemed to have been eavesdropping outside the door, and not long after the old man's words fell, he came in with a mahogany box.
At a glance, I knew that this box was probably the one that the old man temporarily asked someone to buy after he found the jade unicorn, and he took it casually on the street. He was a little curious about what the so-called jade unicorn would look like.
According to what the old man said, since it is an heirloom in someone's family, how can it be hundreds of years now. At that time, he was once born rich and noble, so he shouldn't make a big joke about treating fake jade as a treasure, and if he gets it now, even if it is low-grade, it can be sold for a few hundred.
But he had a hunch that this piece of jade should not be an ordinary treasure.
Especially when the box was opened, he knew that if this piece of jade was genuine, the old man really took away other people's good things back then.
It was a small but finely carved jade unicorn, and it seemed likely that it was made by a famous artist. The slightly deep green color is transparent and uniform, and even those who don't know how to do it feel beautiful when they look at it.
However, because of the age and the fact that the preservation is not very proper, it has lost its luster a little, but this little thing should not have much impact. It's also good that people's heirlooms are jade, and if they don't bump into it, it's not a big problem, and it's replaced with something else, but I'm afraid that it won't be repaired well with money.
After a period of careful inspection, Lin Kongqing could already determine that this jade unicorn was genuine, and it was also the top grade of the genuine product, if it was handed down during the Republic of China, the value of hundreds of thousands was also there. However, if it was earlier, even during the Qing Dynasty, the value would have risen a lot, and if it still has a certain historical significance, it would really be a treasure.
It's just that now that he is here, Lin Kongqing can't identify its vintage, so it seems that he must go to the appraisal center for a trip. Lin Kongqing put the jade unicorn back into the wooden box: "Then old man, I'll take it away." ”
The old man didn't know when he had leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes and said, "Okay, take it away." When you go back, just call Steward Chen, and you don't have to come again. ”
Lin Kongqing stood up and bowed slightly: "Old man, take care." ”
The old man laughed and waved at him.
"Settled?" Outside the door, Zhao Yongjie looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
"It's almost, you don't have to come over in the future, just call us." Lin Kongqing looked at him and frowned, "I said how much smoke did you smoke, this smell is too choking." You don't have two suits, don't spoil this. ”
Zhao Yongjie shrugged: "I've endured it for almost three hours, and who cares about this little thing, in their eyes, I am your bodyguard." ”
"That's right, Bodyguard Zhao, I have a priceless thing in my hand, hurry up and escort me out." Lin Kongqing didn't mind making trouble with him.
So Zhao Yongjie once again stood in front of him, blocking those eyes with indifference, curiosity, and disdain.
"If Zhang Wei is here, will he pounce?" Suddenly seeing that in this large group of people, there seemed to be a few old ladies sitting on the sofa with cross-eyebrows, Zhao Yongjie couldn't help but think of Zhang Wei, who wanted to marry a rich woman all day long, and couldn't help laughing.
It's a pity that although he doesn't look ugly, his face looks quite fierce, and when he smiles like this, he doesn't feel sunny at all, but has a cold taste.
Lin Kongqing and the others were used to it, and they didn't take it seriously at all, but the more than fifty predators in front of them were not so prepared, and they were shocked, and they all withdrew their eyes that were visiting Lin Kongqing.
The two of them quickly went out, sat in the car, and after telling the driver the address, the luxury car sped towards the laboratory where Lin Kongqing's friend from University was now.
"Manager, what good things did you take?" Even Zhao Yongjie inevitably has the upper hand in curiosity.
Lin Kongqing opened the box: "That's it, it's nothing too big, if it's a little bit of a deal, it should be able to sell for millions." ”
Zhao Yongjie let out an "oh" and put the jade unicorn back again, this thing is too easy to break, he can't afford this price: "No wonder, those people are staring at you so much, if you know what this is, they won't let you take it away." ”
Lin Kongqing suddenly laughed, patted Zhao Yongjie's shoulder and said, "They want to grab this less than a million things?" You also look down on those rich people too much, you see a few children sitting in there, I guess they have so much New Year's money in recent years. If it's 100 million, they estimate that they can grab it, and just this million, it is estimated that no one really takes it seriously. It's just that those of us feel the value of this thing, and in their eyes, this is also a courtesy. ”
"The world of the rich." Zhao Yongjie just said such a sentence.
Then there was silence again.
The identification center is not a big place, and Lin Kongqing also has acquaintances in it, and soon the jade unicorn was sent for testing.
Lin Kongqing alone can see through the real and false materials, but after all, he also needs a certificate, and he can't say that he alone says that what he says is what he is. However, with acquaintances, the identification time has also been shortened a lot. The two of them went out to make up for the uneaten lunch, and after hanging around for a long time, they finally got the appraisal certificate.
"Okay, the next thing is to find a way to secretly send this thing over." Lin Kongqing sat in Buqing's shop, playing with the small jade unicorn in his hand.
It's a pity that all the big men sitting in Buqing are now sitting inside, and after taking two glances at this kind of thing, all the attention turned to other places.
Li Yilin went back to rest early, Zhao Yongjie, a man with a height of 1.9 meters, was cleaning, only Zhang Wei asked with a smile: "Store manager, is this thing really worth so much money?" ”
"yes." Lin Kongqing was careless on the surface, but in fact, this guy was on the embankment, throwing it around, but he never let Zhang Wei touch it.
Zhang Wei smiled: "Then, you can get 10,000 yuan for tea." ”
Lin Kongqing glanced at him: "Don't forget that in addition to the tea fee, there is also a jewelry fee, this time you should be able to sell him about 200,000 jewelry antiques." ”
"Isn't it time for me to raise my salary?" The only advantage on Zhang Wei's blinking face was the big eyes.
Lin Kongqing really wanted to kick over, but thinking about this kid's small body, if the kick was broken, wouldn't all the money earned this time be put into it, so he could only pat him on the head: "You didn't do anything this time, it's not your share." ”
Zhang Wei smiled again: "But the email from the other party was sent to me, if I don't tell you where that person is, hehehehe." ”
Damn, bastard, this stinky boy, actually kept such a hand. Lin Kongqing was also unkind, and his leather shoes kicked heavily on his calves: "Teach it, and send you two hundred and five more." ”
