Chapter 344: Cornflower Blue

"So.? Come on,.!" Wang Guan scratched his head: "You wait for me for a while." ”

"Why are you going?" Yu Feibai was puzzled.

"I'll go see how much money I have left." Wang Guan frowned and said, "I don't know if it's enough." ”

"Wang Guan, I was joking just now......" Yu Feibai stood up in astonishment, and said with a strange expression: "However, now it's my turn to know if you're joking." ”

"I'm kidding, I definitely don't have that much cash." Wang Guan thought about it, nodded and said, "If it's 100 million RMB, I may barely be able to make up for it." But 100 million dollars, you really can't take it out. ”

"What!" Yu Fei was dumbfounded, his hands trembled, and he didn't even realize that the drink in the cup was spilled. After half a ring, he reacted, rushed to Wang Guan with a fierce momentum, and said with wide eyes: "Aren't you just a multi-millionaire, when did you enter the ranks of billionaires?" ”

"It's not more than 100 million, it's still tens of millions." Wang Guan said with a smile, calculate carefully. The auction of 10 million Wen Tongmo Zhutu, plus 30 million of Zhang Tianshi's silk portrait, and the other 30 or 40 million contributed by Boss Wan and Mr. Jin when they were in Macau, is only 70 or 80 million, not 100 million.

Of course, that's cash, not Wang Guan's own collection.

"It's just tens of millions?" Yu Feibai exclaimed: "Did you sell the treasures you collected?" Purple sandalwood gloomy wooden beads, or the Great Xia Dragon Bird Knife, or the water point peach blossom cup, Ma Shaoxuan's inner painting pot? ”

"No, don't guess."

Wang Guan said angrily: "Didn't you just see these things in my house not long ago." ”

"That's right."

Yu Feibai suddenly realized, and said a little embarrassed: "I forgot." ”

Wang Guan was a little speechless, gave him a blank look, and walked straight to the bedroom.

At this time, Yu Feibai followed behind and said thoughtfully: "It seems that there are many situations that I don't understand, and I need to investigate them well......

"Investigate what." Wang Guan said with black lines on his head: "When is it, you still have the heart to pay attention to this." Wasn't he in a hurry to find death and life just now, why is the old state germinating now? ”

"What a search for death and life. Is it so exaggerated. Yu Feibai pouted and said, "Besides, in this case, what can I do, I can't make money empty-handed." Then again, you don't want to sell your family's collection to raise money. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Feibai was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Actually, you don't have to do this......

"I wasn't going to do that." Wang Guan shook his head and said, "I think you are in a hurry, and you don't want to wait for me to get home." Then contact the buyer and sell the item. After a process, it is estimated that it will be a few days later than approval. Far water can't save near fire, so I'm not so stupid. ”

"Uh, it's true that I'm stupid, I didn't expect this stubble." Yu Feibai honestly admitted.

"I can understand, but caring is messy." Wang Guan said, and also returned to the bedroom. As soon as he entered, he saw the huge mechanical clock that the servant had brought up.

Meanwhile. Yu Feibai also walked in, shook his head and said, "Although this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't have the qualifications to worry about it." But. It's always okay to say two sentences. ”

"I didn't say no......" Wang Guan said casually, and gathered around the mechanical clock to observe carefully.

At first glance, the mechanical clock is very broken and broken, although it is an iron product, but after hundreds of years of wind and sun, the iron wall has also been somewhat decayed, and there are subtle cracks. Through the cracks, you can see the inside of the mechanical clock, which is also covered with rust spots. Even a few mechanical axles were broken, so it's no wonder that the hour and minute hands were stagnant.

Yu Feibai also glanced at it twice, and said with disdain: "What are you going to do with this." The money for the repair is enough to buy an antique clock of the same style. I heard that it was still sent. You're not afraid of touching your head. ”

"Superstition!"

Wang Guan glanced at it and said: "I hope that there are more such things, the better, and there is never too little." ”

"Your heart is so wide." Yu Feibai can only say this.

"It's not that I'm wide-hearted, but that some people don't know gold and jade."

As he spoke, Wang Guan took out a fruit knife. But it scared Yu Feibai.

"What are you going to do?" Yu Feibai instinctively took a half step back, patted his chest and said, "What kind of knife is it good to draw at the end, it's deliberately scary, right?" ”

"Sorry I forgot to remind you." Wang Guan smiled, casually broke the lid of the mechanical clock, and looked at the surface of the mechanical clock, that is, the place where the hands rotated. Under the erosion of time, the twelve numbers on the surface have become vague and even covered with a layer of rust.

"Tuk Tuk!"

At this time, Wang Guan gently tapped the surface, only a slight rust fell, but more rust spots had penetrated into the metal, forming a layer of hard mixture.

"Wait, what did you say about Tong Xiangyu just now?" Yu Feibai also reacted, with a little surprise on his face.

"It's gold and ......jade," Wang Guan corrected, and then stabbed his wrist hard, the tip of the knife pierced the surface of the mechanical clock, and then gently pried it.

"Click!"

In an instant, the metal of the mechanical clock layer cracked somewhat, revealing the mechanical structure inside. However, Wang Guan didn't pay attention to those gear bearings and the like, but reached out and groped for the corresponding place of the surface number.

"What are you looking for, is there really a treasure hidden in this?" Yu Feibai said in surprise and hurriedly came over to watch.

"Perhaps, after all, time is money." Wang Guan smiled brightly, and then with a pinch of his fingers, something fell into his palm.

Immediately, Wang Guan raised his hand and slowly opened his five fingers, only to see that there was a dull and dull object in his palm, only the size of his thumb, but the surface was covered with dust, and he didn't know what it was.

"What is this?" Yu Feibai's eyes widened, but he couldn't see the clue.

"I don't know."

Wang Guan shook his head, wiped the surface of the thing casually, and found that the texture of the thing was hard and slightly blue in color.

"Take the water and scrub it and you'll be clear." Yu Feibai said, turned around and walked into the bathroom, and came out with half a basin of water.

"Flutter!" At this time, Wang Guan carefully put the things in his hand into the clear water, and signaled: "You wash it, it seems that there is still in it, I will continue to dig!" ”

Yu Feibai nodded, washed the things, took a towel to wipe off the water stains, and then looked at it carefully. After a little look, he couldn't help but marvel.

"Wang Guan, you're going to get rich." Yu Feibai was surprised: "This is a sapphire." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan looked up, then lowered his head and continued to grope in the mechanical clock.

"Why aren't you excited at all?"

Yu Feibai was a little stunned, and said with excitement on his face: "This is a sapphire, I think it should be genuine, not a counterfeit product such as kyanite, blue zircon, and benitoite." ”

"When I saw the bluish color, I guessed it." Wang Guan smiled: "It's just that I'm not sure." ”

While speaking, Wang Guan put a handful of sapphires into the water to clean, then wiped off the water stains one by one, and carefully put them on the bed and lined them up.

"One, two, three...... Eleven...... Twelve! Yu Feibai counted on the side, and then added the sapphire in his hand, which suddenly made him feel an indescribable amazement and excitement, and couldn't help but say: "Wang Guan, twelve, there are twelve sapphires here......"

"Hehe, I know." Wang Guan's face was also full of smiles: "I know that sapphires are very valuable, and if the color, clarity, and cut are good, the price will be very high." However, I just don't know how much these gems are worth. ”

"That's right, color and clarity are key, and an average sapphire can only sell for a hundred dollars per gram. If there is a crack in the inside of the gemstone, it is even less valuable. ”

Yu Feibai nodded hurriedly, then picked up a sapphire and looked at it in the sun, only to see that the cut of the gem was relatively simple, but the clarity was very high, and there was no ribbon. When exposed to sunlight, the whole body exudes a hazy blue with a hint of purple hues, giving it a unique velvety texture.

"It's ......"

In an instant, Yu Feibai was very surprised, and his face was full of disbelief.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Guan was puzzled and said, "The quality of things is very poor? No, I think it's pretty good! ”

"It's not just good, it's a rare treasure." Yu Feibai said excitedly: "Do you know what this is? ”

"I know, Sapphire." Wang Guan glared and said: "If you like to say it, just say it, don't sell it." ”

"Isn't that exciting?"

Yu Feibai stretched out his hand and touched the sapphire in his hand slightly, as if he was touching a lover, as carefully as if he was touching a lover, and even showed a little fascination in his eyes: "This is a cornflower sapphire, the most noble sapphire in the world, produced in the Kashmir region of the Zasgarh Mountains of the Himalayas, the highest peak in the world. ”

"It is covered with snow all year round, the natural environment is extremely harsh, and there are only a few dozen days a year to find minerals, which is very rare. And because this sapphire is a non-renewable resource, it has been banned since the beginning of the 21st century. Now it is basically invisible on the market, and each one is precious. ”

Yu Feibai sighed, then carefully looked at each gem on the bed, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "But you actually got twelve now, I don't know how many people are envious, jealous and hateful." ”

"Is it precious?" Wang Guan was very calm, and said with a smile: "Anyway, as far as I know, these gems were definitely not that valuable a few hundred years ago. Otherwise, the missionaries would not have used it to be embedded in the mechanical clock for fluorescence. ”

"It's a terrible thing!"

Yu Feibai said indignantly: "I heard that hundreds of years ago, the Spaniards and the Dutch, but in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and other places that produce special gems, boats and boats of all kinds of red sapphires were transported back. At that time, the gems shipped back to Europe were as cheap as Chinese cabbage, and they were not as valuable as copper and iron. (To be continued.)
