Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Hope of a Breakthrough

"Lord Dragon."

In the sea off the Ship Mountain, the tortoiseshell leads the Boatsan Mountain Tribes to welcome the dragon-turned Ao Tang, which is a big pilgrimage once a month, and it is already time to return when they take turns to go out to look for some of the octopuses and sharks from the shipwreck.

Looking at the 41 aquariums in front of him, Ao Tang was full of spirits, this is his team that will run rampant in the ocean in the future! I haven't seen it for a month, the majestic is more majestic, the wise is more wise, and after the basic learning and mastering the basic knowledge, the eyes of the turtle, whale and shrimp have become more and more flexible.

Hey, why is Banjia's eyes a little dodgy? Ao Tang stared at Banjia for a while, and always felt that this situation was somewhat familiar, there was a very naughty child in his village with poor academic performance, and every time he faced his parents after the exam! Ao Tang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he himself was just a 20-year-old young man, far from having children, but the mind of cultivating the water tribe was the same as that of parents raising their own children.

Thinking that when he came over at the end of April, he once said that he would be assessed at the end of May, and Ao Tang already understood why Banjia was weak-hearted, but even if he had children in the future, he probably wouldn't be that kind of strict father. Like the current kind of literacy and cramming, the progress is gratifying, and there is no need to be harsh if the progress is a little slower, but that is for other water tribes, and that guy can't be too indulgent.

Looking at the eyes of the dragon king, Madara suddenly felt that something was wrong, and wanted to pounce on it and hug the dragon's feet or dragon claws, alas, it was all to blame on the old turtle of the prime minister, if only it agreed to cheat, but how to cheat?

While Spotted Armor was thinking wildly, the tortoiseshell had already begun to report on the various conditions of the Ship Mountain Triumph for the past month.

“…… In early May, the Sharks discovered a valuable shipwreck somewhere in the Yellow Sea; In mid-May, it was found somewhere in the East China Sea...... The above valuable items, the Sharks and Octopuses have all been transported to the treasure spot in the open sea. ”

“…… The learning progress of the Funama Tribes is ...... As the head of the Chuanshan Water Tribe, I failed to more effectively urge the Water Tribes to study harder, and I am far behind the Spring City Water Tribe, so I ask Lord Dragon King to punish me. ”

Ao Tang sighed, understanding that the tortoiseshell was informing the boat of the progress of Zhang Ren Zhangqi, no wonder Banjia was so weak-hearted, but since it has been said, it may inspire them to be ashamed and bravely bury their heads in pursuit, and then said: "Zhang Ren Zhangqi is now in the first semester of the second year of junior high school, that is, the crayfish team and the blue crab team, they have also entered the first semester of the fourth grade of primary school, although they started a month earlier than you, but you still need to work harder." ”

The Chuanshan Tribes were suddenly stimulated, like the gun armor of the Gun Shrimp Team, they used to look down on the Red Armor, disdain the name of the so-called "first shrimp soldier" of the Red Armor, and even despise these crayfish as low-level brute force troops. But now, the Gun Shrimp Team is in the third grade, but the Crayfish Team is in the fourth, and the gap of a whole school year, if it is still inferior to the Crayfish Team when they meet in the future, or even if it is a tie, the dignified high-level troops are actually at the same level of education as the low-level brute force troops, which will make the guns and armor shameless!

And the octopus team's octopus armor looked at Banjia and said: "Zhang Ren Zhangqi is good, we have won glory for the octopus team, it seems that the octopus is the smartest in the aquarium!" "As for the fact that they are not as good at learning as tortoiseshell and spotted armor, there is a reason for that, the hard work of carrying the treasure of the shipwreck consumes a lot of their time.

The tiger armor of the killer whale team was not convinced: "We cetaceans, in human terms, are the most advanced mammals among animals, if we can't go ashore, we can only learn through 'second-hand learning', and we will definitely not be worse than Zhang Renzhang!" ”

Spotted Armor shrank its head, last night it was still shouting that turtles and turtles are the first, but today it is powerless to refute, fortunately, although it is not good at studying, it often follows the ship during the day, and heard a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, and quickly found an idea: "Lord Dragon King, I heard that human students will not have final exams until the end of June and early July, and our assessment will be postponed until the end of next month!" ”

In a month's time, I don't know if I can catch up with Zhang Renzhang's progress? Even if you can't catch up, it's good to drag it out for a month, Banjia got up for the good idea he came up with, turned his head and said: "Prime Minister, this month is the exam review period, we should study against time, and throw everything in the small black house out of the clouds!" ”

Tortoiseshell said angrily: "Lord Dragon King hasn't agreed yet, how can you make such a self-assertion?" Want to escape the little black room? Hmph, you can study in the little dark room, and I'll delete all the games on your computer! Back to Lord Dragon King, this little turtle has violated discipline before, and I have already set a one-month punishment for the little black house. ”

Ao Tang said happily: "There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated." Now that you've set the rules, follow them. ”

Banjia suddenly cried and mourned: "Lord Dragon King, Lord Prime Minister, I heard that humans are locked up in prison, and if you behave well, you can reduce your sentence......"

Ao Tang said categorically: "Acting well for the sake of commutation is itself a bad motive. ”

Madara continued to wail: "Lord Dragon King, I heard that the final exams of the human race are over, and there are ...... of winter and summer vacations" Anyway, I will be locked up for a month, so it is better to strive for happiness in the next two months.

It's a pity that its happiness was cut off again by Ao Tang, Ao Tang said: "There are also various cram schools in the winter and summer vacations of mankind, and before the end of the literacy study of the nine-year compulsory education, you still don't have delusions." ”

At this stage of intensive learning, Ao Tang set the goal for the aquarium is to graduate from junior high school, of course, there will be a second and third stage of learning in the future, but the future learning may not be full. For example, the Sharks, their main job is porters, and they may need to participate in some battles in the future, but their way of working and fighting does not require too much knowledge. As for the Octopus team, because of their dexterous tentacles and excellent brains, Ao Tang is looking forward to one or two aquarium scientists popping up among them.

At night, Ao Tang was in the room, and there was only tortoiseshell by his side.

He pondered for a moment, but then asked, "Tortoiseshell, do you know about the promotion of the dragon clan in ancient times?" ”

The tortoiseshell reminisced about the memories of the long past, and in ancient times, the promotion of the dragon clan was either by cultivation, or by merit, and more by both. It also knows the current predicament of the Dragon King, and now that he has no cultivation method, he can only rely on rainfall to fight drought to accumulate merit, but in ancient times, the reward and punishment of merit was in the hands of the heavenly court, and there were heavenly rules to follow, and when it reached the consummation, it would naturally descend the will of the Jade Emperor and promote the rank of the Dragon King.

Now that the immortals are gone, who will help the Dragon King surpass the limits of the Well Dragon King? The tortoiseshell didn't have any clear way, but its hundreds of years of experience was not fake after all, and after thinking about it, he made a suggestion: "Lord Dragon King, why don't you go to the crystal palace at the bottom of the well again?" ”

Ao Tang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, even if it still didn't work, it didn't hurt to go back to his hometown to see.

Putting down this big thing, Ao Tang turned on his mobile phone, and immediately there were a lot of missed calls and text messages, some Mi Lu, and some Yu Zhiwei, his return ticket was scheduled for the morning of June 2, and he would definitely go to Shencheng tomorrow.

As soon as he thought of porcelain, he turned to the next missed call, which was from the boss of the Shencheng antique shop. Ao Tang was not in a hurry to call back, he flipped through the text message first, and sure enough, there was his, and the Ming Wanli blue and white seawater cloud dragon pattern Fu Zi big pot was finally auctioned at a price of 3.5 million! After deducting 15% of the auction company's commission, 3% of the tax paid, and 5% of Lao Li's honorarium, a total of 2.695 million was obtained, and the text message told him that it had been remitted to his account.

Ao Tang checked on the Internet, and it was really good, plus his previous hundreds of thousands, there were already 3.3 million. For a person who was still destitute more than half a year ago, it was really an astronomical amount of money, but for the "island owner dream", it was still a drop in the bucket, so Ao Tang did not have the excitement of getting rich, calmly turned off the computer, and after a few phone calls in a row, he came to the storage room of the villa.

The last time he came, he had already instructed the aquarists to select some porcelain and transport them to the villa, so that he could swim to the deep-sea treasure spot to get them. Although the aquarium will inevitably bump and bump into a few in the process of handling, but for Ao Tang, there are countless shipwreck porcelain in the endless ocean, and the crystal palace will be rebuilt in the future.

Ao Tang first took a large jar, and looked at the style from the Wanli shipwreck last time, and turned out a gourd bottle with a somewhat strange style, according to the tortoiseshell, it was from a newly discovered shipwreck this month, and he didn't look closely, and packed it.

On the morning of June 1, Ao Tang came to Lao Li's antique shop again, Lao Li nodded, and without saying a word, led him up to the second floor.

"This ......" Lao Li looked at the Wanli jar and couldn't help but shake his head, "Mr. Ao, although this is also the Ming blue and white of the Wanli Dynasty, it is not as good as the blue and white Baizi picture jar last time." Lao Li explained from the workmanship, painting style, style and other aspects, and finally said: "Although this big pot is not a fake, it is an inferior product, and it is worth one or two hundred thousand at most." ”

has the integrity record of the last transaction, and Ao Tang does not doubt Lao Li, not to mention that Lao Li's eyes did not drift in the slightest. And Ao Tang also knew that even if it was porcelain on the same shipwreck, it was impossible for everything to be a fine product, so he didn't say much at the moment, and took out the second box.

"This!" When he saw the gourd bottle, Lao Li was taken aback, quickly reached out, and carefully scrutinized it, it was the same as Hailao porcelain, but the style was obviously different from the previous three Ming Wanli, and there was a "Zhizheng Year System" at the bottom, which was the last year name of the Yuan Dynasty.

Yuan Qinghua!

Yuan Qinghua does not exist much, with less money, in the major auctions, the treasure Yuan Qinghua can often be auctioned tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan!

Lao Li is familiar with porcelain auctions over the years, and at Christie's in New York in '06, there was a similar Yuan blue and white peony pattern gourd vase, which was sold for $2 million. His hands trembled slightly, and if the one he was touching in his hand was genuine and precious, it would be tens of millions of treasures!

However, because of the rarity of Yuan Qinghua, Lao Li did not take an hour to make an appraisal like last time, this time he was more cautious: "Mr. Ao, I can't complete the appraisal immediately, or rather, I can't complete the appraisal alone, it is likely to be a precious Yuan Qinghua." ”

Since the last time Ao Tang casually entrusted two or three million porcelain to him, Lao Li has put down all his careful thoughts, not to mention whether he can afford to provoke this young man with an unknown background, if Ao Tang can really send Hailao porcelain in an endless stream for him to draw commissions, then the long stream will be more profitable than a long time, so he said his preliminary guess very calmly.

Maybe tens of millions of Yuan Qinghua? Ao Tang looked calm, nodded and said, "It's still the same as last time, I will entrust it all to you, and I will transfer it to my account at that time." ”

Lao Li immediately became anxious: "What if it is identified as a treasure?" Mr. Ao, you have to go with me to appraise and be a witness. ”

Ao Tang smiled, took the gourd bottle, turned around, stared at the dragon's eyes, and after noting down some lines that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye, he handed them back to Lao Li: "If it's not a treasure, as long as you return it to me as it is, we can have a deal next time." ”

He made an appointment today, and he had to leave tomorrow, and he was still thinking about going back to the crystal palace at the bottom of the well to find the possibility of a breakthrough, but he didn't have time to waste on a porcelain. Since the first transaction went smoothly, Ao Tang was willing to believe in Lao Li's frugality, even if he really saw the wrong person, it was nothing more than doubling it back.
