350,000!

Hearing the price given by Lu Zhengyuan, Meng Xiaowei's delicate little face was full of surprise, and she glanced at Qin Fan incredulously. www.biquge.info She never thought that Qin Fan would spend 500 yuan to buy a wood carving jewelry box with 500 yuan, and she would be able to find treasures worth hundreds of thousands.

"Sir, are you also interested in this beeswax golden toad?"

Qin Fan was also stunned for a moment, and his heart was slightly moved. bought a few shops in the downtown area of Luzhou, and almost two-thirds of the 5 million he had on hand had been used.

Coupled with the decoration fee and other bits and pieces, with such a toss, the 5 million that Qin Fan got from selling the four golden silk nans was about to be spent before it was hot.

And after the Guoshu Hall opens, a large amount of money will be needed to hire Guoshu coaches, recruit front desk and handymen, and so on. Before the Guoshu Pavilion began to make official money, Qin Fan could not make ends meet.

However, although Qin Fan was in urgent need of money, he did not plan to sell this beeswax golden toad to Lu Zhengyuan.

"Hehe, old man, I play miscellaneous, and I have a little bit of research on amber and beeswax, and I usually like to collect such things." Lu Zhengyuan touched his beard and said patiently, "There are several kinds of old beeswax that are now circulating in the world, mainly divided into Tibetan beeswax, Afghan beeswax, Indian beeswax and European beeswax. ”

"These varieties of beeswax are different, Tibetan beeswax is mainly different shades of yellow, because the climate in that area is dry and cold, it is easy to cause dehydration, so there are more wind cracks on the beeswax."

"The climate in Afghanistan is hot, and the old beeswax is eroded by sweat and will appear red and crimson in color. Indian beeswax, like Afghanistan, is also prone to reddening. As for Europe, the Mediterranean region and Russia are relatively rich in production, and the color is pure and natural. ”

Lu Zhengyuan pointed to the beeswax golden toad and continued to explain, "Your beeswax golden toad, the raw material should be beeswax from the Mediterranean side, the color is pure and natural, the texture is fine and even, it is a rare piece of high-quality beeswax. ”

This piece of beeswax alone is worth a lot of money, coupled with this ghostly carving skill, Lu Zhengyuan's price of 350,000 yuan is not very high.

"Old man, the price I offered is already good, young man, do you want to think about it and transfer this beeswax golden toad to me?"

It can be seen that Lu Zhengyuan really likes this beeswax golden toad.

Because of the non-renewable nature of beeswax, real beeswax is rare in the cultural market, and it has been replaced by many artificial fake beeswax.

Lu Zhengyuan once took medicine and received a fake beeswax for more than 100,000 yuan. After playing with collecting for so many years, Lu Zhengyuan has always wanted to collect a piece of real beeswax, and today he encountered this top-notch beeswax in terms of material and craftsmanship, how could he miss it.

"I'm sorry old man, I really don't plan to sell this beeswax gold toad."

If it was in normal times, Qin Fan would definitely transfer this beeswax golden toad to Lu Zhengyuan without saying a word, but he promised to help Meng Xiaowei find a gift first, so he could only refuse Lu Zhengyuan.

"I'll pay 380,000."

Lu Zhengyuan thought that Qin Fan deliberately refused and wanted to sell it at a high price, so he took the initiative to add 30,000 yuan.

"Sir, it's not a matter of money, no matter how much money you pay, I won't sell it." Qin Fan shook his head and insisted.

"420,000!"

For an old man of Lu Zhengyuan's age, money is no longer too important, the key is that he really likes this beeswax golden toad. If you can't get it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to sleep well when you go back.

Qin Fan smiled bitterly, it turned out that the old gentleman thought that he was estimating the price, and hurriedly explained, "Old gentleman, this beeswax gold toad was bought for a friend and prepared to give it to her grandfather as a birthday gift, I'm sorry, I really can't sell it." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xiaowei's delicate body trembled, and she glanced at Qin Fan in some surprise.

No wonder Mr. Lu paid 400,000 yuan, and he refused to sell this beeswax gold toad, it turned out that he wanted to keep it for himself as a birthday gift for his grandfather.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Meng Xiaowei's cheeks suddenly flew with two red glows.

"I see, that's a shame." Lu Zhengyuan sighed a little disappointed, and said to Meng Xiaowei with a smile, "Little girl, your boyfriend really didn't say anything to you." ”

Meng Xiaowei's face turned red suddenly, and she hurriedly explained, "Old man, you misunderstood. We're just ordinary friends. ”

"Little girl, I think you seem to be a little familiar, I don't know who your grandfather is?" The more Lu Zhengyuan looked at Meng Xiaowei, the more familiar he felt, and he couldn't help asking.

"My grandfather's surname is Meng."

Lu Zhengyuan's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered where he had seen Meng Xiaowei, "It turns out that you are the granddaughter of Meng Lao, I visited Meng's hometown a few years ago, and you still call me Grandpa Lu." ”

"It's rare that you have this filial piety, and I won't be strong old man, hehe." Lu Zhengyuan said with a smile, "Meng Lao is a master in our collection industry, and he has no eyesight and knowledge. This young man should be a disciple of Meng Lao, no wonder he has this eyesight. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhengyuan misunderstood the relationship between him and Old Man Meng, Qin Fan just smiled and didn't explain much.

With the signboard of Mr. Meng, it can also dispel many people's doubts. Otherwise, at Qin Fan's age, his eyesight is even older than many collectors, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not arouse the suspicion of those who are interested.

Although it is a pity that I didn't buy the beeswax gold toad, Lu Zhengyuan is not disappointed, the collection is like this, not all treasures can get their hands, sometimes it is not necessarily a bad thing to look away.

Lu Zhengyuan and Qin Fan exchanged knowledge about antiques, and when they saw that it was not early, they got up and left the teahouse.

"Qin Fan, do you really want to leave this beeswax golden toad to me?" Meng Xiaowei looked at Qin Fan directly, she has seen many hypocritical boys, who are struggling with you on the surface, but as long as you have any conflict of interest with him, you will immediately turn your face and deny people.

On the contrary, Qin Fan, who had only known her for a short time, was willing to give up low-hanging fruit benefits for the sake of a promise.

"Didn't you ask me to help you find a birthday gift for Old Man Meng, I think this beeswax golden toad is good."

For Qin Fan, the integrity of being a man is more important than the more than 300,000 yuan, you can earn it again if the money is gone, and if you lose it, you can never earn it back.

Meng Xiaowei nodded, "I took this piece of beeswax, but I can't take your things for nothing." The price is according to what Grandpa Lu said just now, 350,000. ”

This piece of beeswax was picked up by Qin Fan with his eyesight, Meng Xiaowei is not the kind of woman who likes to climb relationships and take advantage of others, otherwise she would rather not have this piece of beeswax.

Seeing Meng Xiaowei's resolute look, Qin Fan didn't pretend to be polite to her, anyway, this piece of beeswax was picked up by him for 500 yuan, no matter how much Meng Xiaowei gave, he earned it.

After choosing a gift, Meng Xiaowei happily took Qin Fan to the boutique for an afternoon, picked a beautiful gift box and packaged this piece of beeswax gold toad.

After everything was done, Qin Fan talked to Fang Xiaojun on the phone, asking Fang Xiaojun to come to the provincial capital to see a few shops under the plate, and then the two of them went back to Jiaocheng together for the New Year.

The next day, Fang Xiaojun drove a jeep borrowed from Qiao Qiye to the provincial capital.
