Back room.

I blinked dumbfoundedly, and bent down to pull the paperweight out of the box, barely knowing what to say. As we all know, the southern city of Yanjing, that is, Xuanwu District and Chongwen District, is the poorer part of Yanjing, and now, let alone before, it is almost impossible for people living in such houses to have too much money, and it is very problematic to eat well. So after seeing so many gold bars and Republic of China banknotes in the box, I was quite surprised, and my mind didn't think about it anywhere else, who knows, there is actually a mezzanine in the box, if I don't want to dismantle it, I don't know who this paperweight will fall into!

Patting my face to calm myself down, I put the paperweight on the pillow and lowered it, and carefully checked the box, and when I saw that there was nothing else, I first swept the house clean, separated the broken wood and packed a few plastic bags, a bag of garbage cans still at the door, a bag of garbage bins in front of the toilet, and the last bag was thrown directly into the cleaning car of a passing sanitation worker.

When I got back to the house, I locked the door and held the paperweight in the palm of my hand with excitement.

Beautiful, so beautiful!

In my previous life, I worked in Lao Dou's jade shop, and I am quite familiar with this kind of thing, at least I won't be unable to name it.

To be precise, this is a white jade carving Rui beast paperweight, about 14 centimeters or so, longer than the ordinary seal, but not its thickness, the paperweight belongs to the kind of rectangular flat shape, the jade is smooth, should be divided into the category of white jade, the surface exudes a faint blue-white, the front is carved with the beast, the knife work is natural and smooth, vivid and lovely, the color is natural, the back is engraved with an ancient poem, majestic atmosphere.

Rubbed my finger belly on the paperweight, well, it's very moist, and the pulp is analyzed, it should be an old thing, not a new worker.

However, my knowledge is limited, and I don't know exactly how old the paperweight can be.

"I've made another profit." Actually, I didn't want to play with the collection like Yan Wanru and really collect some of the things I like, but, I have a cleanliness habit that is countless times stronger than Yan Wanru for the collection of cultural relics, and I always don't want to keep it, every time I think of someone else's something better than mine, I feel awkward, anyway, my current plan is to collect the best, and others will never be able to compare, otherwise, simply sell it to make money.

Objective evaluation, this white jade carving Rui beast paperweight carving is very good, and it is also an old thing, but the jade quality is slightly inferior, not as good as Hetian mutton fat white jade, and not as clean and excellent white jade, it can only be regarded as middle and high grade in Hetian jade, not perfect, I am naturally not ready to collect.

Where to sell it?

I thought of Yan Wanru, although the paperweight is not a jewelry, but it is also a real jade, and I just promised her to call her first when she received the jade jade. Well, just ask, if she doesn't like it, I'll sell it to someone else, and I can't give it a break.

I found Yan Wanru's phone number from my mobile phone and dialed it, "Hey, Teacher Yan, I'm Gu Jing." ”

“…… Oh hello. ”

"That's right, I have a new paperweight, a white jade carved beast paperweight, which is in good condition in all aspects, so I want to ask you if you are interested?"

"Huh? Just received? Yan Wanru's voice was full of wondering: "We haven't been apart for a while, right?" ”

"Well, it's good luck to catch it just in time." I said, "Do you have a computer with you?" If you want to see it, how many pictures can I take and send it to you? ”

"No, where are you? I'll go look for you. ”

"Or am I looking for you, are you at a friend's house in Xuanwumen? I'm not far from there, ten minutes away. ”

After briefly talking about the meeting place, I wrapped the paperweight in a clean towel, stuffed it into the pocket of my beige trousers, went out to take a taxi, and went straight to my destination.

Xuanwumen is just east of Niu Street, not a few stops, and it will take half an hour to run over.

At the entrance of the southeast platform of the Xuanwumen subway, I saw Yan Wanru waiting there from a distance, asked the driver to pull over, and waited for the money to come down, Yan Wanru wearing toad glasses also walked here, we didn't look here, but slipped to a small garden with no people, sat in the gazebo, and I carefully took out the paperweight to her.

Yan Wanru's eyes lit up: "Good thing, I thought it was an ordinary new worker paperweight." ”

I said, "What age is this engraving?" ”

Taking a closer look at the poems in her hand, Yan Wanru nodded slightly: "You don't need to look at the carving, you can see the traces of the jade, the Qing Dynasty, you can't be wrong." Touching the paperweight with her hand repeatedly, she couldn't put it down and said: "It's good, most of the jade artifacts on the market now are necklace pendants and ornaments, and it is almost difficult to see the partial category of paperweight, well, it's really good, Gu Jing, it seems that you are in love with jade." After looking down for a long time, she said, "That's good." ”

I knew she must like it, and said politely, "I'll give it to you." "Of course I didn't plan to really send her, even if I had this heart, Yan Wanru probably wouldn't want it.

Yan Wanru was stunned for a moment, and quickly pushed the paperweight back to me: "This is not good, you have invited me to eat the meal, even if the last time is over, don't mention it again, well, I really like this thing, and the four treasures of the study at home also lack such a paperweight to match, you can make a price." ”

politely prevaricated for a while, Yan Wanru didn't want to live or die.

I'm a better face, so I thought about it and said, "Give 30,000." ”

Yan Wanru suddenly smiled bitterly: "What's the difference between you and giving me for nothing?" Regardless of the age, the price of a single carver and jade is more than 30,000 yuan? At the auction, how can such a piece of Qing Dynasty white jade carving Rui Beast paperweight be auctioned for 130,000 or 40,000 yuan? This is still a conservative estimate. ”

I shook my head and said, "The auction price is often very false, and besides, there is no commission or anything." ”

Yan Wanru said: "This paperweight is not as valuable as other new-worker jade, well, don't let it go, I'll give you 115,000, okay?" ”

"It's too much, I'll give you a step, you give eighty thousand." I'm going to repay her favor, of course I can't care if she asks for more.

Yan Wanru looked at me helplessly: "It's boring to say that again, 115,000 is already taking advantage of you, if it's 80,000, what's the difference between picking up leaks?" ”

"Oh, it's not much, you can just take it."

"What's going on? No, no, I definitely don't want it if I don't have 110,000. ”

I saw that she was resolute, and said without a word: "None of us have to say, I will take another step back, 100,000 yuan, if you don't want it, I can sell it to others." ”

"Well, why are you like this, kid?" Yan Wanru looked at me angrily, glanced down at the paperweight, and sighed: "You know that I can't bear it, right?" Okay, 100,000, okay? After that, she smiled to herself: "Everyone else is living and dying in Gaoli, how can you sell things like this?" Alas, this time I have picked up a big bargain, how can I pay the bill? ”

I pondered: "Bank transfer, it's not in a hurry, you can give it any day." ”

Yan Wanru smiled and shook her head: "You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, let's go, go to the bank." ”

When I came out of the bank, I already had 600,000 yuan in my card, and I smiled bitterly, I really didn't expect such a big gain this time.

Just as he was about to say goodbye to Yan Wanru, the bell bell, and the mobile phone rang.

I picked it up: "Hey...... Yes, it's me...... Well...... House in Cow Street...... North room, ...... facing the sun Well...... 1,700,000 ...... By the way, first of all, you are not an intermediary, right...... Oh, that's fine, how much do you want to give...... One and a half hundred and fifty thousand? Too little...... No way...... Well, definitely not...... "This call was not made by an intermediary, but the bid was too low, and if I sold it like this, I would have to pay 150,000 yuan."

Hanging up the phone, I only heard Yan Wanru ask, "Do you really want to sell the house?" ”

I said, "Yes, but you're right, it's really hard to find a buyer in this market." "I'm really a little worried, I finally earned nearly 400,000 yuan in the treasure chest, and I really don't want to post too much.

Yan Wanru lowered her eyes and smiled softly at me: "You wait a minute, I'll go over there and make a call." She walked away while taking out her mobile phone, standing in front of the bank ATM and talking to someone, waiting for a while, I saw that she hung up the phone, and then picked it up and dialed the number, for a full fifteen minutes, Yan Wanru walked back with light steps: "...... It's done. ”

I didn't know why I said, "What's going on?" ”

"Didn't you just talk about the house on the phone? I asked you a few friends, and there was a boss surnamed Li who said that he happened to have some spare money and wanted to invest in a bungalow that was about to be demolished. Yan Wanru pressed the phone a few times, and shook the screen showing a number in front of my eyes: "Well, this is Boss Li's phone, you can contact him yourself, I told him that you are my friend, and he shouldn't bid too low." ”

I groaned, and I didn't know what to say: "Thank you so much, I'm worried about this." ”

Yan Wanru patted her handbag: "Hehe, the paperweight sold me so cheaply, I should thank you." ”

After separating from her, I couldn't wait to call Boss Li, and the other party was also very happy, saying that he would come to Niu Street to see the house immediately.

He is a very neat person, and after looking at the house, he gave a price of 1.66 million. I thought about it, compared to other people's prices, he was already very high, and if he lost 40,000, he would lose 40,000, and he didn't raise the price, so he nodded and agreed. Later, I thought about it again, without this house, it is very inconvenient to do things, and besides, I am also very reluctant Xiaolong, so I proposed to let him rent me for a year, but what I didn't expect was that Boss Li agreed without thinking, he said that he would not sell the house in a short time, let me live first, and even, I didn't want my rent.

Of course, I know that he is giving Yan Wanru face, so after calculation, 166,000 is really not a loss, how much is the rent for a year?

The next day, the deal with Boss Li ended.

I already have 2.26 million in my bank card!!
