Chapter 643: The Smurfs Reappear [Fourth Update]

Chapter 997 and 998 Jade Factory [3rd and 4th Shifts]

"Dear Lee, come and see this painting!"

As soon as he walked to the hotel lobby, Mr. Hoss waved loudly at him in the rest area, and there were more than a dozen people next to Mr. Hoss, in addition to the people he brought, there were several other experts who came to participate in the event together.

Teacher Ma is inside.

Li Yang came down with Bai Ming and them, and after he contacted Mr. Huo Si just now, the other party asked him to come to the hotel lobby immediately, and on the phone, Li Yang also heard a lot of other people's voices.

This time, Hoss spoke English, not his broken Chinese.

Several people walked towards the rest area together, and when they saw Li Yang coming, the surrounding people took the initiative to get out of the way.

"What is this?"

On the table in the seating area in front of him, there is an ancient painting on silk, which is an ink painting, which depicts Guanyin.

This painting is different from ordinary religious Buddha paintings, the figures painted are closer to reality, and the Guanyin Master is very kind, sitting there flat, looking at the vase in front of him.

The Guanyin in front of her is more like an ordinary folk woman, if it weren't for the very powerful unicorn beast under her feet, people wouldn't be able to see that this is a fairy.

In the corner of the painting, there is also a four-character traditional book of 'Li Boshi's painting', Li Yang, Mao Lao, after they looked at this painting carefully, the expressions on their faces moved slightly.

This is a very good work of Li Boshi, Li Yang quietly opened his special ability, which is indeed the real work of Li Boshi.

Li Boshi was a famous painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, especially good at white drawing, he was the first person to paint white at that time, and he was also a famous painting master in ancient times, and there were not many works handed down.

This painting vividly reflects his skills in white painting, and Guanyin's kind appearance is not seen in other paintings.

"This is Mr. Ma's harvest from visiting the antique city today, Mr. Ma's eyesight is really admirable!"

Mr. Hoss slowly explained that he did not stay in the hotel this morning, and Mr. Ma specially accompanied him to the antique city for a walk.

Mr. Fox and Mr. Ma are also in the old days, and Mr. Horse's museum also has his own museum in the United States, and Mr. Ma's museum has had mutual exchanges.

In the antique city, Mr. Hoss bought some small things, all genuine, but not very valuable, purely for souvenirs.

However, Mr. Ma unexpectedly came across this authentic painting of Li Boshi, and he bought it without hesitation, and this painting cost him 200,000 yuan.

This price is not low, but it cannot be compared with the real value of the painting.

This painting, the minimum is also more than two million.

Especially now in the domestic painting and calligraphy market, ancient paintings have been picking up, and if you put it for a period of time, the value of this painting may be higher, and even surpass the Han Dynasty jade pendant in Li Yang's hand.

No matter how you look at it, Mr. Ma's 200,000 yuan is a leak.

After buying this painting, Mr. Ma was also very happy and soon returned to the hotel with Mr. Hoss. When I returned to the hall, I happened to meet a few friends, and as soon as these friends heard that Mr. Ma had picked up the leak, they immediately wanted to take a look, and this was the scene in front of me.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ma to pick up a big leak, the ancestors often warned, don't be complacent, the ancients can't be bullied!"

Bai Ming sighed heavily, he also picked up the leak today, he was originally very complacent, and wanted to show off.

It's a pity that he was hit by Li Yang once in the room, and when he arrived in the hall, he was hit by Teacher Ma again, which made him no longer have any pride, and all he left was a sigh.

Bai Ming's words also made several people around him suspicious, everyone knew each other, and soon asked.

Knowing that Bai Ming and Li Yang had both picked up the leak today, the people around them suddenly widened their eyes and looked at them blankly.

It's good to say that one person picks up a leak, that's luck, two people, three people have picked up a leak, or at the same time, different places to pick up leaks, and all of them are more than a million big leaks, which is a bit evil.

Usually they often participate in various activities together, and there has never been a situation where three people have missed a leak in one place at the same time.

For a while, the people around looked at the three of them as if they were looking at monsters.

In their hearts, there is still a heavy sigh and jealousy.

Many of them are experts who have been here for many days, and they have also gone out to wander around before, and have been to the very bad antique street where Li Yang went, and also to the antique city where Mr. Ma bought the ancient paintings today.

Some people have even been to Panlong Temple and have had a good incense.

But none of them have Li Yang, Bai Ming and Teacher Ma, they are so lucky, not to mention the big leak, they just haven't even encountered a few small leaks, a few people have bought some things, and they can all increase in value, but they are all gadgets of thousands of yuan, and the range of appreciation is also very limited, and Li Yang and their millions of big leaks are not comparable at all.

"Some people say that good luck is contagious, and I don't know who of the three of you is contagious!"

Someone said with emotion, the predecessors of the antique industry also believe in luck, and luck is needed to pick up leaks, and the luck of the three of them today is indeed envious.

His words aroused the approval of many people around him, and everyone nodded unnaturally.

"Teacher Ma, you must have a treat today, please be good, we have so many people here, and the three of you have gained the most!"

Someone else said that this person is not too familiar with Li Yang, but he has a very good relationship with Teacher Ma, and he speaks with an undisguised sourness.

Don't say it's him, the staff next to him are also a little sour in their hearts.

They are still wondering if Kunming has been leaking in a row recently, and whether they have also gone out to try their luck, maybe they can also encounter a million big leaks.

Li Yang had no objection to the treat, and directly agreed.

He was going to invite, it doesn't matter if he invites a few more people, after all, everyone knows each other, but they usually come and go less, and they can deepen their feelings.

After he graduated from He Laona, the future will depend on himself.

It is not harmful for him to establish some good relationships with people in his circle, even if he already has a high prestige at this time.

Originally, Li Yang only booked one table, but four tables of people came during the meal.

Sandala and An Wenjun also came, they were not surprised by the Han Dynasty jade pendant that Li Yang bought at a low price, but they were very surprised that three people had picked up a big leak and arrived this morning.

The two are not from the antique world, but they also know the difficulty of picking up leaks.

It's like having three different people participate in an event together, and then at the same time, they all solve the glass jadeite, and the probability of such a small is almost impossible to count.

This kind of thing has never been encountered in Pingzhou Gongpan, and the last time Li Yang and Shao Yuqiang solved the glass species at the same time was already a record.

From such a comparison, it is enough to see how difficult this kind of coincidence is, no wonder some people call it evil.

During the meal, Li Yang and the three of them were poured wine by everyone, Bai Ming was defeated early and was carried back to the room, Teacher Ma was smarter and refused a lot of wine that could be pushed away, but in the end he also drank high.

Only Li Yang was fine, but the two people who took the initiative to pour him retreated by themselves, and his alcohol consumption also suppressed all the experts, and some experts who were not very familiar with him had an excellent impression of Li Yang.

Chinese, many relationships are actually established at the wine table.

After lunch, the news that three experts had picked up a million leaks in the morning quickly spread among the experts who participated in the event, causing quite a stir.

As a direct consequence, many experts did not stay in the hotel in the afternoon, and all ran out.

Everyone wants to go out and try their luck and see if they can also encounter such good luck, which can not only gain financial benefits, but also greatly help their reputation.

An important condition for the first-class expert exchange meeting is leak detection.

Li Yang did not go to these places in the afternoon, but went to visit a person with Sandara.

In the suburbs of Kunming, there is a very beautiful villa area, and the people who live here are either rich or expensive, and it is said that the price of villas here is close to that of Guangzhou, Shanghai and other first-tier cities.

The specific price is not known to ordinary people, but they understand that they will never want to afford the villa here for the rest of their lives.

The climate of Kunming is very good, this villa area is the best location in Kunming City, warm in winter and cool in summer, the price can not be low, the car is driven in the mountain road full of spring, even Li Yang has an impulse to buy a house here.

The car ended up parked in front of a villa with a distinctly quaint color.

The architecture of this villa has the style of the twenties and thirties, although it is a little retro, but it does not have that special feeling, as if the house has been handed down from the twenties and thirties.

The sense of the vicissitudes of history is very distinct.

Of course, it is impossible to pass it down from the twenties, because at that time it was still a big wasteland, and no one would build such a good house here, but it can only be said that the architect did a very good job, and it was all the credit of the architect.

"It's here!"

Sandara got out of the car, a little excited, today they were going to visit a senior, a senior that Sandara would admire.

Li Yang also had a smile on his face, looked at the iron gate, walked to the side and rang the doorbell.

In addition to Wang Jiajia, Zhao Kui, and Haidong who accompanied him out in the afternoon, only Sandara was there, and He Jie drank a lot at noon, he didn't have Li Yang's special ability to relieve hangover, so he would go back to the room to rest.

As for He Shanshan, she was also stimulated by the fact that the three of them picked up the leak in the morning, and ran out to hang out by herself in the afternoon to see if she could also encounter the second big leak.

Li Yang persuaded her not to listen, so she could only let Liu Gang follow her first, in case there was any accident.

It's enough to have Zhao Kui and Haidong on their side, they are visiting in the afternoon, not going to dangerous places, plus there is Zhao Yong in secret, there is absolutely no problem with safety.

Liu Gang didn't agree at first, but in the end, Li Yang moved out of the old man, so he let him leave with He Shanshan.

"Li Yang, you're here!"

Not long after pressing the doorbell, the door opened, and Mr. Ma, the jade king in a blue shirt, walked out of it and looked at Li Yang with a smile.

The person Li Yang came to visit this time was this old-timer. He came back earlier than Li Yang, as early as when he was in Pingzhou, Mr. Ma Lao invited Li Yang, and if he came to Kunming, he would definitely come to him to sit down.

"Hello, Mr. Ma!"

Li Yang bowed his head slightly, he won the senior in front of him in the gambling stone, but he won it using special abilities, and his real level was still far from this old-timer.

Moreover, the quality of this senior is indeed worthy of admiration.

"Mr. Ma, excuse me!"

Sandara bent down respectfully, because of his position, the Jade King had not helped the Thornton family gamble on the mines, but the relationship between the two sides was not bad, not to mention the link of the table elder.

"Sandara is also here, all come in first, let's talk inside!"

The Jade King laughed loudly and beckoned Li Yang and Sandara to go in, while some of the servants around looked at Li Yang and Sandara very strangely.

The Jade King has not personally come to the door to pick up people for many years, even if the leaders of the city come, he is just waiting in the living room, and the two young people who came today actually let the old man come out in person, and these servants are very surprised.

Only the Jade King himself knew about Li Yang's coming, and he didn't tell these people.

Moreover, these people had only heard Li Yang's name, and they didn't know much about the matter between him and the Jade King. The servants of the Jade King's family are usually at home, and they don't pay much attention to the things on the gambling stones, and the first requirement for the Jade King to hire these people is to be people who don't know how to gamble on stones.

They had heard Li Yang's name, or because Shao Yuqiang had come and mentioned it many times before.

In the living room, the Jade King personally brewed coffee, and he knew about Li Yang's arrival in Kunming yesterday.

"Li Yang, try it, this is authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, my friend brought it to me from over there!"

After brewing the coffee, the Jade King came over directly and poured a cup for each of them to Li Yang, Zhao Kui and Haidong both, but the two didn't drink it, just stood quietly beside Li Yang.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma, your usual days are also very casual!"

Li Yang took the coffee and looked around again, the environment of the Jade King's villa is very good, it looks antique on the outside, and there is a very sunny modern smell inside.

The wall of the living room is still made of transparent tempered glass, and you can clearly see the small garden outside from the inside, which has a unique taste.

"Haha, I'm old, I can't walk anymore, so I can only pack up my nest at home!"

The Jade King laughed loudly, looking very happy, this villa is also a pride of his, many things are designed by him himself, for him is no worse than those gambling stones, especially when he is old, he is more satisfied with the living environment here.

"Dad, I heard that a guest is coming!"

A middle-aged man in his forties suddenly walked in outside the door, and when he entered the living room, he shouted, and at the same time looked at Li Yang very puzzled and curious.

The Jade King's brows instantly condensed together, but immediately stretched out again, he smiled, and said softly: "Juntao, let me introduce you, this is one of my New Year's friends, Li Yang Li Xiaoyou!" ”

Li yang?

The man who came in was stunned for a moment, staring at Li Yang deadly.

He is the son of the Jade King, naturally different from those servants, and he has heard the name Li Yang I don't know how many times.

Not only here in the Jade King, but also in other places, he has not heard less, he currently operates several jade factories, also has his own gambling stone warehouse, is a relatively large jade merchant in Kunming.

He has also watched the video of Li Yang and the Jade King betting against each other, Li Yang on the video is not very clear, but he is still seven or eight points similar to the young man in front of him, and he can see that it is the same person.

After recognizing Li Yang, his heart was even more surprised.

He is the youngest son of the Emerald King, and he has two older brothers, one of whom runs a jewelry company and the other is abroad, also doing jade-related business.

With the big tree of the Jade King, the three sons are living very well now, but it is a pity that none of them have been able to inherit the mantle of the Jade King on the gambling stone, otherwise the Jade King would not have accepted Shao Yuqiang's apprentice.

"Li Yang, this is my youngest son Ma Juntao, who is currently doing some small business!"

The Jade King said again, and Ma Juntao also reacted, and immediately walked over to greet Li Yang warmly.

He had just come home from outside, and he had heard from his family that a guest had arrived.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, but the introduction of the guest by the maid at home made him pay attention, a very young person, and the person who went to pick up the Jade King himself at the door, which made him have some doubts in his heart.

He knows his father very well, the Jade King is a very proud person, ordinary people, people who can't get into his eyes, it is impossible to get such treatment.

Under this doubt, he couldn't help but be curious, so he simply went directly to the living room to take a look.

After his father's introduction, he understood why this young guest was treated so highly.

Jade Sage Li Yang, he never thought that the person who came was Li Yang, who was as famous as his father, and at the same time, he was extremely impressed by Li Yang's youth.

A person who looks like he has just graduated from college is actually the genius who won the bet against his father, known as the first person in the gambling stone world, looking at his age, this genius is really well-deserved.

Ma Juntao was very conscious, and after greeting Li Yang, he left directly.

He came in just to satisfy his curiosity, but after knowing that the guest who came was Li Yang, he had other thoughts in his heart.

It is good to enjoy the shade with the big tree at his back, and it is precisely because of the Jade King that the business of their brothers will be so good, so that he also has a high influence in Kunming.

But after all, the Jade King is old, and he can still control the scene now, and after a few years, when he is really old and can't move, or it is more serious, no one knows what it will be like at that time.

Business has always been like this, not to mention that he has offended many peers in his business over the years, so he has to think more.

If you can pull Li Yang's line, then the result will naturally be different, Li Yang is very young, young is a little scary, as long as there is this relationship, he is also the largest jade dealer in Kunming, and he is a person that others dare not offend.

As for how to win over this relationship, it depends on him.

In fact, the Jade King knows these thoughts, and his youngest son is a shrewd person, so he will definitely think of these.

The Jade King was a little helpless in his heart, but he understood that this was the reality, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the future was bound to be Li Yang's world.

His own children will have a good relationship with Li Yang in the future, which is also what he wants to see.

That's why he took the initiative to introduce his son to Li Yang, as an elder, he also has to think about his children and grandchildren, Shao Yuqiang still can't fight Li Yang in a short time.

Even if Shao Yuqiang really grows up, he will not be able to shake Li Yang's status, at most he will be on the same level as Li Yang in the future.

After chatting for more than half an hour, the Jade King took Li Yang to visit his villa again.

The front of the villa is a garden, and there is an open-air swimming pool and vineyard in the back, in summer, the Emerald King likes to lie under the vines and read a book, and the grapes grown here are also green and pollution-free, very delicious.

These things made Li Yang and Wang Jiajia look envious.

They even wanted to go back to Beijing and tear down the golf course and make it into gardens and vineyards, but it was only for the sake of thinking, and it was difficult to achieve it.

The weather in Beijing is not suitable for this.

"I've finished reading it at home, do you want to go outside and have a look?"

Returning to the living room, the Jade King said to Li Yang with a smile.

"Outside?" Li Yang was slightly stunned and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Juntao has a jade factory not far from the neighborhood, let's go and have a look?"

The Jade King smiled and nodded, since he knew his son's intentions, he would naturally help his son, and it was much better for him to invite him than for his own son to invite.

When you are old, you can still move now, and pave the way for future generations, which is the common idea of many old people.

Even a person like the Emerald King is not exempt from vulgarity in this kind of thing.

Ma Juntao was slightly stunned, his face immediately showed joy, and he took the initiative to cooperate with the Jade King to invite Li Yang, Li Yang and the Jade King went to his jade factory together, even if they didn't do anything and just walked around, it was of great significance to him.

"It's okay, then I'll trouble your old man and Mr. Ma!"

Li Yang agreed with a smile, he didn't know what the purpose of the Jade King was, but he would not refuse the Jade King's initiative, and he was also a little curious about the Jade King's jade factory.

There are many jade factories in Yunnan, not only in Kunming, Tengchong, Dali and other places.

The jade factory is a factory integrating raw material business, production and sales, in fact, it is very simple to understand, that is, they buy wool by themselves, unravel it themselves, process it into jade by themselves, and then sell it outside.

Their sales are not retail, some are wholesaled to jewelry companies, and some are bought outright by some big merchants.

When the jade factory has sufficient raw materials, it will also sell jadeite materials, but most of the materials sold are low-end materials, and some small jewelry companies will also come to them to purchase such raw materials.

As for those high-end wool materials, they are all resources to be fought for, and the jade factory itself is also very lacking.

Li Yang knew these things a long time ago, but the real jade factory had never seen them. When he was in Canada, the place where Li Yang solved the dragon stone species was a very small jade factory, which was not strictly speaking, because they only provided raw materials.

Li Yang has his own car, Ma Juntao drives the car to lead the way in front, and the Jade King is in his car.

Before going out, he called the people in his factory and asked them to quickly prepare to welcome the distinguished guests, Li Yang is definitely a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests.
