Chapter 52: White-toothed Agate Shell

Through the negotiation of the business department of Youlong Company, Yu You contacted a buyer in the north, and the price was 11,000 tons of cod scraps......

After Yu You learned the news, he was a little stunned, this is not much different from the price of Pacific cod in China, so it seems that all cod can be sold as scraps now, and the degree of downturn is staggering.

50 tons of cod scraps is 500,000!

The next day, Yu You and Wu Zexun made an appointment to discuss some matters in the VIP room of Su Dongpo's private restaurant, mainly about bluefin tuna.

"Brother Ang, I don't know how the bluefin tuna auction is going?" Judging by the time, it should be about to be held.

Wu Zexun took a sip of the big red robe, and said slowly: "Less, if the gimmick is not done enough, how can it cause those rich gluttony to raise the price, almost, it will be auctioned at the Binhai Hotel in a month." ”

"Huh? Boss Song's venue? Yu You was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Song Jiankai and Wu Zexun are not fierce rivals in the business field? How did you go to his turf to hold an auction?

Wu Zexun nodded, with an unfathomable look, playing with the white shells handed to him after Yu You entered the door, and said in a long and serious voice: "There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends, less than, this society only has eternal interests, Lao Song is not afraid that I will not give him the qualification to enter, so he took the initiative to provide a free venue, and the request is nothing more than to leave ten bluefin tuna for him, and the price will be given to him according to the reserve price, I think I will promise him for you without a loss, after all, this batch of tuna is yours, giving Lao Song face." , he will remember your love, and it is not a good choice to offend Song Jiankai in Binhai in the future. ”

"I understand, thank you Brother Wu for your advice." Yu You's connections in Binhai could not be compared with Wu Zexun and Song Jiankai, so he could only take their boat.

To this day, Yu You still doesn't understand how big the industry Wu Zexun has, just doing a large-scale shipping business, or running a private restaurant? Although the name of this restaurant is said to be a private restaurant, it actually covers a wide area and covers a garden.

Oh Zexun's background is thought-provoking! Although Yu You wanted to ask directly about Wu Zexun's family background, he still couldn't help it, Yu You's current status and financial resources could not reach Wu Zexun's level at all, and he was extremely fortunate to be favored by Wu Zexun, a mysterious tycoon, without a background, and exploring Wu Zexun's ** too much would definitely put him in a disadvantageous situation.

Wu Zexun saw that Yu You seemed to have something to say but was holding back in his mind, so he couldn't help but change the topic and said: "The so-called Ming Xuande furnace you asked me to identify before is undoubtedly a fake, and it is still very particular about workmanship and materials, but the price does not exceed one thousand, you look at how much your father-in-law spent to buy it, there are many Xuande furnaces of that kind on the market." "The box on the table seems to be the Xuande furnace that Yu You brought to Wu Zexun for appraisal last time, it was Meng Tian's father who asked him to bring it to Binhai at that time, and this time he got the decision of the expert Wu Zexun, Yu You couldn't help but think about appeasing Lord Yue-in-law like this.

"Well, though, this shell you brought this time is a bit of a doorway." Wu Zexun also thought that this shell also belonged to Yu You's father-in-law, so he said: "Sai Weng is not blessed if he loses his horse, the value of this shell is not inferior to the real Ming Xuande furnace." ”

Yu You seems to have seen the price of the Xuande furnace at an auction, and the small Xuande furnace in his hand is estimated to be millions if the quality is good, right? Could it be that this shell that Yu You casually picked up on an isolated island is a rare treasure?

"I also saw it at a friend's house, he has a lot of collections, and he is even more obsessed with the collection of shellfish, one of which is exactly the same as your shell, according to him, there are three such shells in the world, or the existing ones, this should be the fourth white-toothed agate shell." The so-called rare is expensive, the world has only found 4 white-toothed agate shells, although there is no human history in it, but it is a masterpiece of nature, so the price is difficult to estimate.

Millions is just a general statement, in fact, generally people who have white-toothed agate shells will not sell, so there is no reference value on the market, and when you meet someone you like, you may pay tens of millions of purchases.

It can only be described as priceless, in the eyes of the unknowing, this shell is an ordinary shell, if put in the eyes of people who are extremely obsessed with shellfish collection, it is not a problem how much money is spent on the collection, of course, it must be within the range of the price.

Yu You, who was in shock, muttered to himself, "Is this thanks to that battleship?" ”

"What battleship?" Wu Zexun's ears were sensitive, and he asked when he heard Yu You's muttering.

Yu You said with a blank face: "It's nothing, if Brother Wu likes white-toothed agate shells, I'll give it to you." "It's also a problem to find a suitable seller, so it's better to give it to Wu Zexun as a favor.

"I'm not very interested in shellfish collecting, and a gentleman doesn't win people's affection, which your father-in-law managed to pick up, and he would be happy if you told him about it." Wu Zexun thought it was Mengzhi's white-toothed agate shell, Yu You originally wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, it was too obvious to give it away was not to establish a good interpersonal relationship, but similar to bribery.

Seeing that Wu Zexun had no intention of collecting, Yu You also liked this God-given treasure, so he carefully put it away, intending to put it into his own collection, although Yu You has not yet established his own small private collection, but through Wu Zexun, Meng Zhi and other older generations of the collection, coupled with Yu You's accidental discovery of a fish and dragon characteristics when he was in western Sichuan, it seems that Meng Zhi has successfully picked up the leak, I bought an imitation of blue and white porcelain for 10,000 yuan and got a short-legged bench worth 250,000 yuan, and I deeply understood the doorway in the collection, and gradually expanded my hobby to the field of collection.

Of course, collecting this kind of thing still has to be at ease with what you encounter, and let's talk about it when you encounter a good object, at least now Yu You has gotten only 4 white-toothed agate shells in the world, including his shell!

Collecting this way is not more than fine! One or two rare things that can be used are enough to make people talk about it in a small circle.

Although the funds for bluefin tuna have not yet been put in place, Yu You is not in a hurry, with Wu Zexun and Song Jiankai in operation, there will be no mistakes in the 199 tuna.

Holding Mengzhi's so-called Xuande furnace, Yu You drove back to Xinrong Community in a luxury car, intending to tell Mengzhi the bad news, while Mengtian was still in the company, Yu You solved the matter first.

In the room, Yu You dialed Meng Zhi, who was far away in Wuye County, western Sichuan, and just after connecting, Meng Zhi said: "Ah You, you can be regarded as calling, are you and Tian Tian still adapting to the Binhai?" By the way, how is my Xuande furnace identified? ”

Yu You was silent for a while, and when he heard that Meng Zhi's interest was so high, he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally said, "Uncle, how much did you buy that Xuande furnace?" ”

"I bought it for 100,000 yuan five years ago! At that time, I was smashing pots and selling iron. "Mengzhi is proud, it seems that he hasn't remembered the lesson of the last time, if it weren't for Yu You's move, it is estimated that Mengzhi will be eye-catching again.

Speaking of Monge's love for antiques, this also has a certain relationship with his work, civil servants, time is more abundant, and stable, so I want to find some amateur optimism, collection and investment, so I started this idea, five years ago he only entered the industry, and spent the first large amount of money to buy this so-called Xuande furnace.

The 100,000 yuan five years ago was still quite valuable at the time, Yu You couldn't imagine that Mengzhi couldn't get the 100,000 yuan, maybe it was the dowry money of his father or Zhang Xiaochun's mother's family?

Thinking of this, Yu You finally understood why Zhang Xiaochun was so disgusted with Mengzhi bringing antiques home, it turned out that there was a source, which also verified why Zhang Xiaochun, who had worked hard, was so excited when he learned that Mengzhi picked up a big leak.

seems to have made up his mind, Yu You did not hesitate, and planned to take this opportunity to teach Mengzhi a big lesson, last time it may have been because of the Haihuang wood, so that Mengzhi still has a fluke mentality.

"Uncle, I regret to inform you that this Xuande furnace is a fake, and the age is about 5-10 years, and the price is about 1,000 ......" As soon as Yu You's words fell, there was a busy sound on the other end of the phone, and Meng Zhi hung up the phone directly without knowing why.

Yu You said to himself with some guilt: "I knew that my uncle reacted so much, so I said it was true, but it was a big deal that I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy this 'Xuande Furnace'." ”

After about half an hour, after calming down, Meng Zhi made a phone call and came back, Yu You answered the phone and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”

"Ah You, you don't have to worry about me, I had something to do just now, so I hung up the phone, you just said that the Xuande furnace is fake? In fact, I have figured out the way through these years of research and study, this is indeed fake, let you bring it over just to verify my inner thoughts, I have thought clearly, in the future, I will just collect as a hobby, will not invest too much money here, once the hobby becomes an investment, the nature of the inside will change. "Monge, who is getting older, has a lot of life experience than Yu You, it's just an eye-catcher, what's the big deal.

Although Meng Zhi is still very sad in his heart, but he can hold on, thinking of relying on the antique shop to become rich overnight, and he also sees clearly, instead of putting his energy into the bottomless pit of antique shops, it is better to concentrate on work, if he has not been so comfortable in the past five years, maybe he will be promoted at his age, and he will not always be the director of the Construction Bureau until now.

Hearing Meng Zhi say this, Yu You put his mind at ease, and two consecutive punches should make Meng Zhi stop in time, so as not to lose more.

As Ni Kaifang, the owner of the Ming and Qing Dynasty classical furniture stores, said: "The antique industry is deep, and it is difficult for outsiders to come in." ”

If more than 10 years ago, people who knew some antique knowledge were hanging out on the stalls, and they might have picked up some bargains, but now because there are many professional counterfeiters, there are many uncertainties in it.

Although Yu You didn't know this, he didn't want his father-in-law to fall too deep and couldn't extricate himself.
