Chapter Twenty-Five: The Insiders

Wu Di held a few stones and followed Wen Yaru to mix rice, after eating, the two came to the manager's room to drink tea, Wen Yaru said:

"I can't say much over there just now, the two girls surnamed Qi, their family has a pivotal position in the traditional jewelry industry."

"Oh, the traditional jewelry industry?"

"Yes, including pearls, jadeite, Hetian jade, Tianhuang stone and other historical objects, diamonds and ruby sapphires, these are not traditional Chinese jewelry. There are two proverbs in this line, which refer to the top of the list, and the Qi family is on the list. ”

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Qi Zhu Shen Cui three stones, the prince can hold up half the sky. Qi Zhu refers to Qi's jewelry, a southern jewelry family, it is said that the sales of freshwater pearls and saltwater pearls can account for more than 30% of the domestic market. Shen Cui refers to the Shen family, the head of the heirloom jadeite, and the shipment of high-end jadeite can account for more than half of the country. Old man Shen is a famous jade king at home and abroad. The three stones refer to the three largest suppliers of jadeite rough in China, namely the Li family in Hengchang, the Song family in Hebao, and the Wang family in Yingshi, and the public market in Pingzhou and Ruili is controlled by them. The prince refers to Harik Amat in Xinjiang Province, whose Han name is Han Zhenbang, and 80% of the Hetian jade in the market comes from him, known as the Jade Prince. ”

Wu Di listened leisurely, these people are like the top masters on the rivers and lakes, standing at the top of the industry and making everyone admire, when will he be able to stand in that position to be beautiful?

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but this jewelry and antique industry is more about inheritance and has a lot of old rules, so it is more like the rivers and lakes of the old days, how about it? Are you interested in following my brother to turn antiques? ”

"Hehe, I just bought a brick inkstone as a gift, I don't think I have any talent."

Wen Yaru still wanted to persuade again, but suddenly remembered the brick inkstone and asked:

"Look, my brother's surname, do you like your brick inkstone customer? Is it done? ”

Wu Di hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile:

"Brother, I told you not to be angry. I accidentally broke the brick inkstone. ”

Wen Yaru's eyes widened, and he was about to be scolded, remembering that it was something that someone else bought, what position did he have to be angry? Then he smiled bitterly:

"Break it, break it, bring it one day, let me see if I can find someone to fix it, it's a pity that it's a good thing."

"I'm not saying that I'm afraid you'll get angry when it breaks, in fact, the brick inkstone was originally repaired in two, and when it falls, it will be directly divided into two halves!"

"Ah, isn't that your old brother gone? Did you check it carefully when you put it away? Brother, you bring it, the old brother will return the original money, and then find a good one to send you. ”

"Hey, listen to me. I estimate that the brick inkstone was repaired at least a hundred years ago, and the later slurry covered up the traces, I don't accuse your big brother of lying to me, but this brick inkstone still has a story. ”

"And? It's all in half, what's the story? Boy, if you dare to suspect that the old brother is cheating you with the remnants, don't enter this door in the future! ”

"When did I dare to doubt your brother, after the brick inkstone was broken, I found that it was hollowed out!"

"That's impossible, the weight of the brick inkstone is absolutely fine, or I would have found out earlier, and it would be your kid's turn to fall?"

"It's true, there's a tarpaulin bag hidden in the hollowed out, and inside is ......"

"What is it? Say it! Hey, I said you kid, are you full and have nothing to do, and you're here to entertain me? ”

Wu Di was very calm, ignoring Wen Yaru's murderous gaze, taking a sip of tea to himself, before he said:

"There's a painting in there, guess whose it is?"

Wen Yaru looked at Wu Di suspiciously, and finally confirmed that he was not joking, and asked:

"Say it quickly, don't sell it to me, or I'll kick you out of here."

Wu Di got up and wanted to leave, but when he saw Wen Yaru's eyes standing up, he sat down with a smile,

"Shi Tao, landscape map!"

"Really?"

"Really, I've already found someone to see it, it's true!"

"Good boy, I'll just say that you have a relationship with this industry. Where is the painting, show it to your old brother? ”

"It's already been given away, brother, aren't you angry?"

"I'm angry? Of course I'm angry! You kid has something good, and you don't even show it to me first! ”

Wu Di said cautiously:

"The painting was taken out of a brick inkstone......"

"Haha, let's just say that your kid is not a person in the industry, this is called picking up leaks, understand? Things have been in my hands for three years, but I didn't see why, on your hand out of the baby, it can only show that you have good eyesight, and the treasure is fateful, I envy it is too late, what kind of child? Besides, in our line of work, who hasn't looked at it and walked through the treasure? Angry every time, still can't live? However, Shi Tao's paintings are not cheap, I'm afraid they are not tens of millions, right? ”

"Well, it should be worth thirty million."

"Damn, which big man can afford such a heavy courtesy? Brother, what big deal do you do? ”

"No, it was taken by the family to give to an old man. By the way, if you want to see, I will contact you one day, and say that you are the original owner of the brick inkstone, maybe you can find the inheritance of the painting from the origin of the brick inkstone, and he will definitely be happy to see you. ”

"Can you tell me a little about who?"

"Chang Young, Chang Old Man."

Wen Yaru opened his mouth wide, pointed to the sky for a while, and asked:

"You mean Chang Lao?"

Wu Di nodded, Wen Yaru smiled bitterly, originally he intended to accept Wu Di as an apprentice, but looking at this posture, this kid's family is extraordinary, and he came here to play purely by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He rubbed his hands together and smiled:

"Of course, it's best to visit Chang Lao, but my brick inkstone was received from a loser, so what is the origin? Hehe, it's okay to fool others, but who dares to fool his old man? ”

"It's okay, I'll take you to see it another day, mainly because there is a person I can't afford to mess with living there now, so I don't dare to go."

Wu Di couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Yang Yanji.

"There's no hurry, there's no hurry, as long as you can go. Ah, I almost forgot, your old sister-in-law told you to go to the house for dinner tonight, and you can go back with me later. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work today, I promised my mother to go back to dinner, there are guests."

Wu Di politely pushed it away, Wen Yaru remembered Wu Di's life experience, and he was no longer reluctant, but only told him to come and sit when he was free, and exchange antique knowledge together.

Wu Di returned with a full load, looking at the stone in the taxi, trying to guess which piece had the goods in front of the Tianshu prompt, and the phone rang,

"Little Wu, are you done? Go home early for dinner when you're done. ”

Wu Di originally planned to go home and put down the stones and drive the Range Rover again, but he was excited for a long time, a little tired, and saw that the road was also blocked, so he ordered the taxi to be rerouted and go straight to Xishan.

Before entering the house, he heard Yang Yanji's laughter, indescribably coquettish, Wu Di shuddered, thinking that stretching out his head and shrinking his head was also a knife, so he simply singled out, so he strode into the living room.

Zhong Qi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the big bag behind Wu Di at a glance, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile:

"Just let the people come, what else to give, you see ......"

Wu Di handed him the big bag and said:

"Just a few broken stones, you don't want to give them to you."

Zhong Qi opened it suspiciously, glanced at it, and said:

"Boy, this is a jade rough stone, I didn't expect you to still play gambling stones? Isn't this too bad? ”

"I didn't play with it, a friend gave it to me."

"Who? I'm Uncle Conan, and you can't fool me. ”

"Pan Jiayuan, Mingtang Zhai, Wen Yaru, are the people who sold my bricks and inkstones."

"Ah, you told him about the paintings hidden in the bricks?"

"yes, he said he didn't find it a broken item, so he gave me a few stones to apologize."

Wu Di came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You didn't tell him the value of the painting? Is he angry? ”

"No, people are professional insiders, you think they are the same as you? I call this a leak, you know? By the way, if it's convenient one day, take him to see Uncle Chang, maybe you can find out the inheritance of the painting from the origin of the brick inkstone. ”

"It's easy, I'll go tomorrow."

"Going, I'm still going to work, okay?"

"Just your broken class, what kind of strength do you have, mix with your brother, I will give you a sky-high annual salary!"

"How much? I don't want to end up like you and end up doing nothing and playing! ”

"Boy, don't expose your shortcomings, I'll fight with you!"

The two of them made a mess, Yang Yanjian sneered vigorously beside him, pretending, let you pretend, you didn't see the beauty, right? I'll let you know later, Lord Ma has three eyes!
