Chapter 0448: Treasure in Treasure [I]
Chen Heng's expression froze, and he instantly withered as if he had aged more than ten years, "I, I have something that is priceless, as long as Mr. Liu can like it, I am willing to exchange that thing for this fifty million."
"Huh? It depends on whether it can be worth the money that Dai Lide has stolen over the years. "How ruthless, what is directly defined as theft, Liu Yuhao means that he will be held criminally responsible.
In fact, Liu Yuhao is not a priceless treasure in his heart? He didn't think that he would covet other people's things, hehe, but if Chen Heng had to give it to him in vain, it would be another matter.
Chen Heng used almost all his strength just now, and after finishing speaking, he sat on the chair as if he had been drained of strength, and said slowly: "I have something called Rich Blossom, I don't know if Mr. Liu has heard of it." ”
"Rich flowers?" A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Yuhao's eyes.
There is also that rich flower in Mao Zhou's room, but that is what Xing Di lost to him at that time, although it is a fake, but after all, Xing Di stole it from the old man Chen Chen, but where did this Chen Heng's rich flower come from?
"Yes, yes, it is the blossom of wealth! Mr. Liu, have you heard of it too? ”
Chen Heng was overjoyed in his heart, he could see that Liu Yuhao was interested in the rich flower he said, as long as Liu Yuhao was willing, he would rather not have the rich flower bloom now than keep the strength first.
Liu Yuhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "We won't talk about money now, but I believe you also know that Xue Haoran and I once made a bet in the capital, and the bet is that the rich flowers bloom, I am curious, why do you also have rich flowers in your hands?" ”
Chen Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I have heard of the brilliant results of the Jade Holy Hand, but whether that rich flower is true or not, I am afraid that Mr. Liu must know it now." ”
"Go on"
Liu Yuhao raised his eyebrows, waiting for Chen Heng's next words, at this time, not only could he not express his position, but also could not let Chen Heng see the slightest hint of his interest in the blossoming of wealth.
However, since Chen Heng can say that the rich flower bloom in Liu Yuhao and Xue Haoran's bet is fake, it is definitely impossible for what he has in his hand to be a fake anymore, otherwise this bait will not only fail to have any positive effect, but will make Liu Yuhao angry and embarrassed.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Heng smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Liu, I'll tell you the truth."
Liu Yuhao suddenly pressed his hand to signal, and only after closing the door did he say, "Mr. Chen, please speak." ”
Chen Heng squinted his eyes and looked out the window, as if he was recalling something, and only after a while did he slowly tell what happened.
It turned out that a long time ago, the Chen family was a big family in Jieyang, and many people with the surname Chen had relatives in their ancestors, and in terms of generation, Chen Heng was barely the elder of Chen Chen's old man.
Once, Chen Heng's vigorous jewelry unraveled a piece of jadeite similar to the material of Fuguihua, which made Chen Heng, who was the chairman of the board at the time, very happy, and had to ask Mr. Chen Chen to identify it to see if he could recreate the glory of the year.
As a jade idiot, Old Man Chen was ecstatic when he saw the jadeite, and repeatedly begged Chen Heng to transfer the jadeite to himself.
But Chen Heng is not stupid, you must know that the aesthetics of people in modern society are constantly improving, and the carved jade from everyone's hands is more and more sought after by some specific customer groups, so a polarized situation has been formed.
As a result, the price of the master's works is getting higher and higher, and the works of ordinary artists are less popular, so Chen Heng resolutely disagreed with the transfer of the jadeite, and only promised that the jadeite could be cut by the old man Chen, but the condition was that the jadeite could not take out the jewelry, and could only be completed in the room specially prepared by the company for the old man Chen. However, a good work is poured into the painstaking efforts of the master of jade, and the objects carved by the masters by hand carry a kind of indescribable spirituality.
And the carving waste process is complex, in order to make its shape accurate, regular, neat, smooth, but also to carry out such as stacking digging, rolling, some pendants on the petals, the edge of the character clothes to do floating, punching, hollowing, live ring and other processes, where can Mr. Chen complete it for a while.
So in the end, after a series of negotiations, Old Man Chen actually took out his rich flowers, was willing to use it as collateral, and then brought the piece of jade home.
I don't know why, after Old Man Chen took the jade home, he never came to redeem his rich flowers, and it wasn't until a year later that Chen Heng came to visit Old Man Chen.
But unfortunately, Chen Heng was still a step late, and when he came to the door, Old Man Chen was already in a deep coma and admitted to the hospital, and the old man's family did not want any outsiders to contact the old man, and finally Chen Heng had to return in vain.
After returning to Dali Jewelry, Chen Heng also had a period of depression, after all, that piece of jade was the most attractive piece he had ever seen in his life, but now he couldn't find someone else to ask for it back.
It's not that Chen Heng has no evidence to get back his jadeite, but before that, he had already made an agreement with Old Man Chen, unless it was himself, don't mention to the people around the old man that such a piece of jade has appeared.
Although Chen Heng was born as a ruffian, when he has been engaged in jadeite processing for more than 20 years, he still has great admiration for cultural inheritance and contemporary art masters like Mr. Chen.
So after Chen Heng came back, he decided to wait for the first time, hoping that one day Old Man Chen would recover physically, and it would not be too late to get his jade back at that time.
If it weren't for the fact that in order to save his son today, Chen Heng would not have told others that Old Man Chen's rich flowers were actually in his own hands.
"Can I take a look at the rich flower you said is blooming first?" Liu Yuhao listened to Chen Heng's story with great interest, and said with a smile, Chen Heng's eyes lit up, as long as Liu Yuhao can be interested in the rich flowers, are you still afraid that you will not be saved, and he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, the object is in my office, and we can go to see it now." ”
Liu Yuhao nodded, he still had reservations about Chen Heng's words, after all, the rich flower bloom is not an ordinary jade carving object, and the old man Chen Chen is not confused, how could he put such an important object in the vigorous jewelry, it is estimated that the answer can only be understood after seeing the rich flower bloom.
"Mr. Liu, the object is in this box."
Chen Heng did not shy away from it, and directly opened a very secret safe in front of Liu Yuhao, but after Chen Heng flashed to the side, Liu Yuhao smiled faintly, and there was only this box in the safe.
"This is Yao's brocade box?" Liu Yuhao was stunned.
The box looks a little old, and the brocade cloud edge is wrapped with gold wire, but unfortunately there are three places on the edges that are worn, but fortunately, it is not very powerful, and it is not impossible to repair.
"Does Mr. Liu also know the origin of this Yao's brocade box?"
Chen Heng was stunned, he didn't expect that Liu Yuhao was not only quite accomplished in gambling stones, but he could see that the box of Sheng Fugui was Yao's brocade box without even touching his hand.
Liu Yuhao nodded and smiled: "I heard my teacher talk about it before, so I remember some." ”
Judging from Liu Yuhao's attainments in antiques, only this box can be sold for more than 300,000 yuan, which is handmade by Yao's brocade box in Zhenjiang Mansion in the early Qing Dynasty.
In the heyday, those who were officials and the children of big families were proud of the gifts wrapped in Yao's brocade boxes, but anyone with a bit of face always had Yao's boxes at home in case of emergency.
The Yao family has been engaged in the brocade box business in Zhenjiang Mansion since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and there are subsequent descendants who have opened shops in Nanjing for a period of time until the Republic of China.
What is sad is that after the 77 Incident, the Japanese broke into Nanjing, and then the descendants of the Yao family were no longer missing, and since then the beautiful, solid and durable Yao's brocade box has disappeared and slowly disappeared from people's sight.
"Hehe, this box can be regarded as a treasure." Liu Yuhao was deeply touched, rubbing the brocade box and said.
Chen Heng said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is an expert, so I am dissatisfied with you, I have a friend who once told me that even if I take this empty box to Hong Kong Fusubi Auction, I can fetch a high price of three or four hundred thousand." ”
Liu Yuhao's face sank, and he scolded secretly, if you don't get into the money hole, your turtle son will die.
But what people said was right, Liu Yuhao could only nod in agreement, and said: "The texture of Yao's brocade box is generally sandalwood, plus the inside and outside of the box are hollowed out technology, and the appreciation and preservation value are very high, so even if it is auctioned for six or seven hundred thousand in Hong Kong, it is not uncommon." ”
"It's a pity that it's old, and the brocade is a little worn." Chen Heng nodded in agreement.
Liu Yuhao smiled and said: "There is an old Zhai in the capital, who is an expert in repairing this area, and it is estimated that he will help you repair this kind of object if he doesn't want a penny." ”
After being in business for a long time, it may be due to habit, Chen Heng hurriedly smiled and said: "Then next time I go to the capital, I must go to Mr. Liu to help me introduce and meet Zhai Lao, money is not a problem." ”
Liu Yuhao pouted and waved his hand, and said in his heart: "It's okay, why am I mentioning this, didn't buddy come to see the rich flowers bloom, and the cultural relics are repaired?" As long as you have a heart, you can go to whoever you like, are you afraid that there will be no masters in this world? ”
Seeing that Liu Yuhao didn't talk to himself, Chen Heng smiled and sat aside, he knew that Liu Yuhao was unwilling to get too close to him, so he silently refused.
Opening the brocade box, the rich flowers were covered with a layer of red cloth, Liu Yuhao almost uncovered the red cloth with a pious heart, and when the rich flowers inside appeared in front of Liu Yuhao's eyes, he was disappointed.
Doesn't it mean that the Rich Blossom is the work of Lu Zigang carefully preserved by Old Man Chen Chen? How can it be this virtue! (3rd Update)
