Chapter 611: The Chosen Gift
"Hmm...... My adoptive mother's favorite gift doesn't have to be valuable, but it has to be meaningful. Liu Yushan nodded and said, "She once mentioned to me the turbulent era of Huaxia, and also told me that she was also a person who came out of that era, and I can see that she has a deep feeling for that era and has rich memories." I thought that if I gave her this painting, it would definitely be able to remind her of the past, and it would be a kind of thought, and she would like it very much. ”
"That's right...... Indeed, if you are from that era, you will have a more or less unforgettable personal experience. Zhang Wenkui nodded and said, "This painting is an out-of-print painting painted by a modern painter, he only painted this painting about that era in his life, but whether it is the painting or the artistic conception, it already makes people feel immersive." Of course, I also experienced that era, so when I saw this painting for the first time, I was deeply immersed in my memories and wanted to collect it. Although the painting is not very valuable, it is still a precious memory. ”
"Elder Zhang, I want this painting, can you quote me a price?" Liu Yushan said very seriously, "I knew that Mr. Zhang must have the gift I wanted, and my adoptive mother should love it if she saw this painting." ”
Xiao Qiang took a closer look at the painting and couldn't help but think that Liu Yushan had come to the right place. Indeed, if it were other treasure connoisseurs, the treasures in their collections would definitely be treasures with great origins, so how could they buy such a low-value, but very rare picture scroll with Zhang Lao?
Zhang Wenkui said with a smile, "I bought this painting when I participated in an art exhibition, and it cost 500,000 yuan. ”
Liu Yushan hurriedly said after a while, "That's not okay Zhang Lao, I'm already embarrassed to take the liberty to disturb this time, so let's do it, how about I buy this painting for one million?" ”
"I said send it, money doesn't mean anything to me." Zhang Wenkui waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to give you a painting for Xiao Qiang's sake, if you talk about money, it will hurt your feelings." ”
Liu Yushan still wanted to say something, but Xiao Qiang preemptively said first, "Yushan, Zhang Lao said that you will take it when he gives it to you, what good treasure will you see in the future and buy it and give it to Zhang Lao?" If you want this painting, you don't have to worry about it so much, you know? ”
Seeing Xiao Qiang say this, although Liu Yushan was reluctant, she still nodded reluctantly. In fact, Xiao Qiang also knew that this woman was probably not unwilling to ask for this painting for free, but just didn't want to owe him favors. Zhang Wenkui has already made it very clear that today he brought them to the Treasure Pavilion and sent paintings, purely for the sake of his own face.
Although he didn't know why Zhang Wenkui would give him face like this, Xiao Qiang knew that his relationship with Zhang Wenkui was far from being as good as this. As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and the exchange of interests is also reciprocal, Zhang Wenkui must have something hidden in his heart, but he doesn't say that he can't ask.
Zhang Wenkui took off the picture scroll and stuffed it into the picture box and handed it to Liu Yushan, then smiled at Xiao Qiang, "Boy, look at any treasures you like, I will also give you one." ”
"Hehe, since Zhang Lao is so bold, the little one is disrespectful!" Xiao Qiang already knew that Zhang Wenkui was likely to ask for his help, so he simply agreed and directly agreed to pick up the treasure in the treasure pavilion. It's not that he wants to sell the treasure for money, it's really that after such a long period of consumption, there are very few heaven and earth aura in the Nine Heavens Xuanyu, and he urgently needs to replenish it. Zhang Wenkui has a lot of treasures here, he can just pick a treasure with abundant aura to absorb.
After looking at the treasure pavilion for a long time, Xiao Qiang originally came to see a bronze tripod, and the aura of heaven and earth inside this treasure is very abundant, which is obviously related to its long history.
"What, fancy this Ding?" Zhang Wenkui saw Xiao Qiang's gaze fixed on the bronze tripod, and couldn't help laughing, "I know that your kid's vision is good enough, this is the bronze tripod of the king Hu Guan during the Shang Dynasty, and I am afraid that less than ten pieces have been unearthed in the entire Huaxia Kingdom, which is extremely rare and has a long history, but I spent more than 30 million yuan at the auction the year before last to buy a rare treasure." Okay, I'll give it to you if you like it! ”
Xiao Qiang secretly said, this bronze tripod really has an extraordinary origin, and the value of more than 30 million is indeed a bit against the sky. You must know that although his current net worth is hundreds of millions, the real liquid funds in his hands are only more than 40 million, which means that this bronze tripod treasure is equivalent to the amount of cash he currently has!
In fact, it can be seen from this aspect that the antique treasure industry needs to be a top collector in order to truly become a top collector. At least in terms of Xiao Qiang's current strength, it is still beyond reach. So in the eyes of ordinary people, billionaires are already very rich, but in front of real rich, he is not enough at all.
Let Zhang Wenkui give himself such a valuable bronze tripod Xiao Qiang is unwilling, although it is likely that Zhang Wenkui has something to ask for, but with a soft hand and a short mouth, how much ability to do a lot of things, such a big benefit to get it, it will definitely not be less, it is better to be wiser.
Soon, Xiao Qiang shook his head with a smile and waved his hand to refuse, and began to look for other treasures. Zhang Wenkui saw that he was not interested and did not speak again, after all, more than 30 million good treasures were given away for nothing, and he could not be distressed, and Xiao Qiang would definitely not force him if he didn't like it.
Roughly swept through the various treasures in the treasure pavilion with his perspective eye, just when Xiao Qiang wanted to choose a treasure with abundant heaven and earth aura to count, suddenly the afterglow fell into some antique jade piles piled up next to the corner, and at this time, the Nine Heavens Xuanyu on his chest produced a burst of warmth, and the perspective eye passed through some treasures in the outer layer, and found that there was a thick heaven and earth aura flickering in this antique jade pile!
"Xiao Qiang, what? I don't like the original, but I like some of my playthings? Zhang Wenkui said with some surprise, "Those piles of antique jade are all collected by me, most of them have no high-end value, and many are fakes, but they are just bought and stored because of interest." As time goes by, these ordinary antiques are piled up more and more, and this big pile is formed, are you trying to pick up this leak from me? Hehe, it seems that you are also suspicious of my vision. ”
"Zhang Lao is joking, you are a master of treasure appreciation, and your eye is naturally impeccable, how can I have any objections to your appraisal......" Xiao Qiang hurriedly shook his head and smiled, "I'm just a little interested in some of the cultural relics inside, don't mind if I pick a treasure from it, right?" ”
"If you want to take it, I bought these antique jade stones at a low price, they are not worth much money at all, and they are not very distinctive." Zhang Wenkui stretched out his hand casually and said, "Pick whatever you like, take whichever you like." ”
After Xiao Qiang nodded and thanked him, he hurriedly walked over, picked up the outer pile of antiques with his hands, and after searching for a long time, he suddenly took out a red stone from the pile of antique jade. No, it's not so much a stone as some kind of crystalline ore that looks inconspicuous and not at all thorough, like a very ordinary stone dyed with red dye.
