Chapter 0024 [From Eight Million to More Than Ten Million 2]
When he learned the news from Xiaoqin, Zhang Yilong's first reaction was that the old turtle regretted it, he wanted to get back the million-dollar Gao Guyu immediately, otherwise he would be in such a hurry to call himself back to do something, but Zhang Yilong was not in a hurry, if the other party wanted to take things back, he would not be reluctant, and the starting point of lending the other party 500,000 yuan was not to go to something.
"Xiaoqin, let's go over quickly." Zhang Yilong greeted, and then he and Xiaoqin hurried back to the old turtle's house.
"Old turtle, what's the matter with me?"
Zhang Yilong asked loudly before he stepped into the threshold of the old turtle's house, and when he walked in, he caught a glimpse of it, only to see two more figures in the room, and when he saw the appearance of one of them clearly, he couldn't help but be secretly taken aback at that moment, and thought that he had dazzled his eyes, but the person was clearly sitting there, and he was looking at himself with a smile.
"Hua Lao, you ...... Why are you here?! Zhang Yilong said in surprise.
He naturally knew the gray-haired old man in front of him, the other party was none other than the great collector Hua Lao, who he had always admired, Hua Lao was one of the three major collectors in the city, and he was highly respected in the industry, and everyone had to respect him for three points.
Hua Lao is simply Zhang Yilong's idol in antique appraisal, the other party often goes on TV to appreciate treasures, and from time to time presides over collection exchange meetings in antique streets, giving people free identification of things and guidance.
Zhang Yilong also knows that the person he admires most in his life is Hua Lao, what he admires is not only the other party's superb treasure appreciation skills, but also the other party's approachable surname, although it is the Taishan Beidou of the city's antique street, but he does not have any shelf in front of others, even if it is a novice who has just entered the industry, as long as there is a question to ask him, he will patiently guide.
"The old turtle finally invited Hua Lao to show him something?" Zhang Yilong immediately thought to himself, in the past, the old turtle wanted to invite Hua Lao to visit his collection several times, along with the palm of his hand, after all, he also has a lot of ambiguous things, I don't know the merits of the real and false, and if it passes through Hua Lao's sharp eyes, then there will be no doubts.
"Xiaolong, are you back?" Seeing Zhang Yilong walk in, the old turtle hurriedly stood up and said hello, "Hua Lao has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Wait for me?!" Zhang Yilong was surprised, he really didn't expect the other party to come for himself, which was really flattering.
You must know that in the past, Zhang Yilong dreamed of chatting with Hua Lao, and if he could communicate with this kind of everyone, he would benefit for life, but the other party was a busy person, how could he have time to greet an irrelevant novice.
"Young man, I think we've met somewhere before, you're familiar." At this time, Hua Lao also stood up slowly and said with a smile.
Zhang Yilong scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Yes, we have met a few times, and I have asked you some questions." ”
is the so-called "noble people forget things", and Zhang Yilong is not generally familiar with Hua Lao, he has bought the books published by the other party, and has been reading and researching.
"Oh, is it? Hehe, you see my surname, people are old, it is inevitable that they are a little confused, and they can't remember it clearly. Hua Lao patted his head lightly and said, "I heard that you just gambled on a very good piece of jadeite jade, some people say that it is a piece of old pit glass jadeite, so I want to take a look and see it." To tell you the truth, I have a unique interest in jade, and I have recently started to collect jade, but I rarely see real jade, but I know that glass jade is the top grade of jadeite jade, and it is worth seeing! Brother Zhang, I came to you rashly, I think it's very abrupt, but I want to open my eyes very much, I don't know if you can take out that stone and show it to me. ”
"Oh, is that what happened?" Zhang Yilong nodded without hesitation and said, "Hua Lao, of course it's okay, it's nothing!" ”
The other party sent a request to him straight to the point, in fact, he should have thought a long time ago, someone is looking for him at this time and has an urgent matter, what will happen except to buy that piece of jade and jade, he was not so popular before, only he begged for someone's share, how could anyone come to ask him, let alone a big man like Hua Lao.
Zhang Yilong knew that after the news of his bet on the best jade spread, many people would come to him, otherwise he would not have deliberately turned off his mobile phone to prevent disturbance, but he didn't expect Hua Lao to come, and the other party was an appraisal master he admired the most.
So in the face of Hua Lao's sincere invitation, Zhang Yilong still had nothing to hesitate about, so he quickly agreed.
In fact, he also took into account one point, if Hua Lao took a fancy to that stone and was willing to make a deal with him, it would be the best, because the other party was a big boss, and he could afford a really high price.
And that stone Zhang Yilong was ready to sell from the beginning, he didn't have a hobby of collecting jade for the time being, it was better to exchange it for real money, and he could do other more meaningful things with money.
"Xiaolong, Hua Lao finally took time out of his busy schedule to find you, so you can take out that piece of jade and show them it." The old turtle standing aside with a smile on his face accosted him.
Zhang Yilong nodded solemnly, and then he walked to Hua Lao's side unhurriedly, and carefully took out the jade jade from his arms and placed it on the coffee table next to him for Hua Lao and his entourage to inspect.
"Hua Lao, please look, I also hope you give me a palm, I am still playing jade for the first time, just now the old turtle took me to Boss Wang's jade shop to play, maybe because of my good luck, I gambled on a batch of stones, one of which is such a piece." Zhang Yilong then briefly introduced two sentences.
"Not bad!"
Zhang Yilong's piece of jade had just been put out, and the entourage with glasses couldn't help but admire: "Hua Lao, this piece of jade is really good, it is really an old pit glass species, and it has such a green color, it is precious!" ”
"It's really an eye-opener!" Hua Lao also exclaimed, "It's rare for me to see such a beautiful piece of jade!" Brother Zhang, you are lucky, there is no problem with this piece of jade, the only pity is that the stone has only cut a small opening, and you still need to continue to gamble on the later situation. ”
Zhang Yilong nodded and replied, "Well, yes." ”
Hua Lao said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, then what are you going to do?" I like this piece of jade very much, I don't know if you are willing to transfer it. ”
He asked bluntly about the transaction, and Zhang Yilong nodded and replied: "That's what I plan, if the price is right, I am willing to transfer." ”
When Hua Lao and the middle-aged man who was pedantic both praised their stone was very good, Zhang Yilong was quite proud in his heart, the other party was a big expert, for the good things of "opening the door", they could basically judge whether it was good or bad at a glance, since they said it so refreshingly, it showed that the stone was really good, and no one could doubt it.
"It's good if you have this idea." Hua Lao was pleased, "I just need glass jadeite, and the better the jade, the more I like it." Brother Zhang, you say, you give a price, as long as it is suitable, I will take it. ”
Zhang Yilong said: "Hua Lao, I'm sorry, I don't know, because I don't know anything about the current market of jade and jade, and I still need you to give a price, I believe that the price you offer is very fair." ”
Hearing Zhang Yilong's words, Hua Lao and the man glanced at each other, both thoughtful.
"The bottom looks pretty good, but after all, the jadeite that can be seen is very limited, so in this case, I estimate that the market price is about three million." The man spoke first, and Hua Lao smiled without saying a word.
"What about the jade that is revealed, which is twice as big? Is that a doubling of the price? Zhang Yilong asked without answering.
Three million is obviously lower than his psychological price, his ideal price is eight million, and the other party only pays three million, so he naturally won't accept it.
"Well, almost, if you unravel half of it, and the bottom is still so green and transparent, there will be more than six million." The man nodded and said, "But, Brother Zhang, this is a very risky thing, others buy you this half-gambling stone, and he is also taking a risk." ”
Zhang Yilong smiled and said, "I know, but I thought about it, since there is such a good beginning, why not give it a try?" Hua Lao, I know that you sincerely want to buy my stone, but I can't bear to transfer the risk to you, so I decided to cut it myself, and we will talk about it after the stone is almost cut, if I lose the bet, I will admit it! ”
"Xiaolong, you want to bet on stones?!" The old turtle was surprised.
The price of three million is actually about the same in the eyes of the old turtle, and ordinary people will not pay such a high price, after all, the final result of the stone is still a great suspense, no one can judge, spend millions to take a risk, this courage is still very few people have.
Zhang Yilong wants to continue cutting stones, and the old turtle is naturally worried about him, if the gamble is crossed, it will not lose millions in vain.
"yes, I'm going to bet!" Zhang Yilong nodded decisively and replied.
Hua Lao said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, it's up to you to do this." If it's still so good after cutting, then I'll only pay a higher price for it. So when will you solve it? ”
Zhang Yilong said: "Hua Lao, in order not to delay your time, I will solve it immediately, and I will ask you for some guidance." ”
Zhang Yilong had no pressure to cut the stone, because he had already seen the distribution of the jadeite jade inside the stone through his right eye, which was a complete and flawless piece of jadeite jade, and there was no need to worry about it containing impurities or other disadvantages that damaged the quality of the jade.
According to what the man just said, a few more cuts will cost millions more, and after unraveling them all, and taking out the complete piece of jade from it, wouldn't it be able to reach a sky-high price of tens of millions.
Zhang Yilong is looking forward to Hua Lao's final bid......
