After reaching an agreement with Chen Guitian, Ye Ming took out a jade pendant carved with a Buddha statue from his bag, handed it to Chen Guitian, and said with a smile: "Captain Chen, this is a small gift brought by a friend of mine from Myanmar, a jade Buddha carved from the best Laokeng jade in Myanmar. There is a saying that the male wears Guanyin and the female lead the Buddha, I know that your daughter has just been admitted to university, this jade Buddha is a mascot given to her, please pass it on to her! ”

Chen Guitian took the jade Buddha and looked at it carefully, also laughed, and said, "Director Ye, this is still a small gift?" Although I am a layman in jade identification, in the process of handling cases, I have also heard many experts explain some knowledge of jade identification. The old pit jade of Myanmar in such a good condition, the carving is so fine, if you buy it in a jade store, it will be at least more than 100,000 yuan! ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Ye Ming very meaningfully, and asked with a smile: "Brother, you tell the truth: you, a friend with jade, are you Gong Zhichao?" According to the gossip I received, Gong Zhichao has been hiding in Myanmar for several years, and sometimes lives on the southwest border. It's just that, because of his special relationship with your brother, even if we got the information, we didn't arrange for anyone to hunt him down. This jade pendant should have been brought by him! Hahaha! ”

Ye Ming knew that this kind of thing could not be concealed from Chen Guitian, who had many years of criminal investigation experience, so he also smiled heartily and said: "Captain Chen, I have dealt with Gong Zhichao for many years, and I know this person's character very well: although he has been mixed in the underworld, he is extremely righteous and never betrays his friends. Therefore, even if this jade was given by Gong Zhichao, you can treat it as a small gift, and there is no need to worry about it. To be honest: I still have several pieces of such jade pendants here. You should also know my character: if it weren't for a real good friend and a trustworthy person, I would never accept this jade pendant. So, you just have to accept the jade pendant, you don't have to worry about it! ”

Chen Guitian nodded and said, "Director Ye, I won't accept anything given by others." But if I don't want the gift you give, it will be a bit contrived and pretentious. Therefore, I accept this jade pendant, and thank you and your friend at the same time. ”

Speaking of this, as if he suddenly remembered something, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Ming: "Director Ye, let me tell you a secret: our Director Guo is an expert in jade, and he has a soft spot for jade. It's just that he is very honest, and ordinary friends will never accept jade when they give him. Most of the jade items in his family's collection were bought by him at his own expense. It's just that, because his own salary is only so much, he doesn't take the money from unknown sources. Therefore, his jade artifacts are all relatively low-grade goods, and there are few high-end products that exceed 10,000 yuan. Since you have a few jade pendants here, you can take them and ask him to appreciate them. If he likes it, give him a piece or two. When appreciating jade, you can mention Gong Zhichao's matter to him by the way, so that it will be better. ”

Ye Ming originally had this idea, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it according to Captain Chen's instructions." ”

The next night, Ye Ming called Guo Guangwei, asked him for tea, and told him that a friend of his had brought back a few pieces of Laokeng jade from Myanmar, and heard from Captain Chen that Secretary Guo was quite knowledgeable about jade, and he also knew how to appreciate the quality and color of jade. Therefore, when the time comes, I will ask Secretary Guo to show me the texture of those jade pendants and judge their value.

As Chen Guitian said: Guo Guangwei is a workaholic, he usually has few hobbies, in addition to reading, his biggest hobby is to appreciate jade. Therefore, when he heard Ye Ming say that a friend from Myanmar brought him a few jade pendants carved from Laokeng jade and invited him to appreciate them, he immediately became interested and hurriedly agreed.

As soon as Guo Guangwei entered the box of the teahouse, he couldn't wait to say to Ye Ming: "Xiao Ye, show me your baby!" You just said that those jade pendants of yours are carved from the old pit jade in Myanmar. If it's really Myanmar Laokeng jadeite, it's a very valuable thing! Not only is it valuable, but it's also worth both appreciating and collecting – by the way, what friend is this? Did he often run back and forth in Burma's jade-producing places? If it's convenient, please bring me some jade too!" ”

Ye Ming smiled and said, "Secretary Guo, you can take a look at these things of mine first." ”

As he spoke, he first took out a jade Guanyin with a whole emerald green body from his bag, handed it to Guo Guangwei, and asked him to taste it.

Guo Guangwei took the jade Guanyin, took it in his hand and stroked it with his eyes slightly closed, and felt the warmth of this piece of jadeite. Then, he lifted it up again, put it under the light, carefully observed the texture and color of the jadeite, and then exclaimed: "Xiaoye, this is a real high-grade A goods!" Jadeite of this texture is hard to come by, even on the southwestern border, close to Myanmar. If it is in the mainland, this Jade Guanyin will be sold for at least 50,000 yuan, which I still underestimate. ”

Ye Ming said: "Secretary Guo, I don't understand anything like jade. So, I invite you here today just to let you show me how these jade pendants are. I still have a few pieces here, so please show me too! ”

As he spoke, he took out all the jade pendants in his bag and put them in front of Guo Guangwei.

Guo Guangwei saw these pieces of blood-red, or turquoise, or gold-purple high-quality jadeite, his eyes were round, and he couldn't wait to pick up one of the glass natural fluorescent jadeite fish pendants called "Lianzhong Sanyuan", and held it up in front of him to appreciate it carefully: I saw that this piece of jadeite that emitted natural fluorescence was carved into the shape of a fish. On the belly of the fish, there are three convex circles connected together, which means "connecting the three elements". And the meaning of this fish is "more than every year". Like this exquisite workmanship, auspiciousness, texture, etc., the value of Myanmar Laokeng jadeite jade is very high.

So, he said to Ye Ming in a somewhat envious tone: "Xiao Ye, these jade pendants of yours are all high-grade boutiques, especially this jade pendant with three yuan in Lianzhong, which is a rare jade. I'll tell you the truth: I also have some jade in my collection, and some good jade among them. However, any of these jade pendants of yours are stronger than my best collection. Therefore, you should collect these things well, and the potential for future appreciation is immeasurable. And you have to thank that friend of yours too. The fact that he was able to bring you so many fine jadeites at one time shows that his friendship with you is extraordinary. ”

Ye Ming nodded happily, and suddenly said, "Secretary Guo, since you like these small objects so much, you can choose two or three of them and bring them back to collect!" You are an expert in this area, and when good jade is in your hands, it can be better maintained, right? ”
