Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Masterpiece of Heaven
The next day, my father went to work, and my mother retired from illness, and played cards every day in addition to cooking. Wu Di accompanied his mother to the street to buy vegetables, walked through the factory, and every time he saw him was an acquaintance.
Although the factory is big, it can't stand the familiarity! It has been together for decades, and the whole factory knows about it. Half a day and one night is enough to let everyone know the news that the eldest son of the old Wu family drove back a multimillion-dollar luxury car. On the way, the people who bought vegetables, played chess, and played cards all stared at the two of them, and Wu Di looked like he was deliberately waiting for his mother.
Mother Wu was humble and proud, spreading the news everywhere,
"I didn't do anything, I just learned to pour antiques in the capital."
Wu Di laughed with his uncle and aunt on the side, no way, before he made a grandson for the old man, he still had to sacrifice it and act as a prop for his mother.
During the period, he received a phone call, the money from the Second Machine Factory received Ninety-Five, Zhao Haoran asked Wu Di to get the money, Wu Di gave him an account number, asked him to help turn it around, and called Lao Yuantou again, saying that he would go back to see him. Then I laughed with my mother.
"What has Dad been busy with these past two days? Looking a little burnt? ”
After a round of greetings, he was finally clear, remembering his father who left in a hurry early in the morning, Wu Di asked.
"I'm not busy, the old rebel in the factory, you Lin Bo died, I heard that there are cultural relics copied from the special period hidden in the house, the three boys broke up, and the lawsuit went to the factory."
"Limber is dead, he's only sixty, right?"
"Sixty? Fifty-eight! Cerebral hemorrhage doesn't matter how big or small you are! It was gone in less than an hour, and not a word remained. ”
"Oh."
The factory area is opposite the family area, and everyone goes home for dinner at noon. The old sister went to the children's school, which was already on vacation, was caught out to play. Wu Di accompanied his mother for a while, and then went home to prepare lunch.
Wu Di had a plan before he came back, he wanted to take a good turn in Yudu, the factory moved out of the mountains, he went to college and left, and he didn't work at home after graduation, saying that he was from Yudu, and he really promoted him. He is a bun in a mountain. But it's not good to not leave the house as soon as he gets home, and my mother is going to take him back to his hometown tomorrow to go to the grave.
After lunch, Wu Di took out the "History of Chinese Ceramics" he carried with him, ready to study for a while, he planned to live at home for half a month, and then when he returned to the capital, it was not far from the time of Wen Yaru's exam.
When my mother saw Wu Di reading, she gently closed the door and took a nap.
There was a knock on the door, and Wu Di heard his mother's voice very unceremoniously:
"You look for Lao Wu to go to work in the afternoon, and now he is asleep."
"Auntie, we're not looking for Uncle Wu, we're looking for Wu Di."
Wu Di heard the voice and walked out, and when he saw that there were three young people standing at the door, it was the three sons of Lin Bo's family, a neighbor in the old factory. Wu Di hurriedly greeted the house, and said:
"Hehe, it's okay, let's be quiet, the old man has to sleep for a while every day."
The three of them walked into the living room, the second child struggled to put the things in his arms on the table, the three brothers glanced at each other, the eldest rubbed his hands, and asked solemnly:
"Brother Wu Di, help your brother see, how much is this thing worth?"
On the table was a large guy wrapped in a sheet, estimated to be more than half a meter long. Wu Dihu looked at the three brothers suspiciously, did not stretch out his hand, and asked:
"What's that?"
The second child stretched out his hand to untie the sheet and said:
"A piece of ancient jade, the old man said it was worth a lot."
Mother Wu pursed her lips and was about to speak, Wu Di shook her head slightly and said:
"I've just been learning for a short time, and I don't know if I can see it accurately, so it's no wonder that I said a few wrong brothers."
"Don't blame, don't blame, Brother Wu, you are a learned person, much better than us."
It should be a piece of ancient jade on the table, because it has a pulp. In the previous paragraph, because of the matter of mutton fat jade, Wu Di had seen a lot of information and pictures of Hetian jade, and recognized that this was a piece of green and white jade made of mountain material, but the jade quality was not very good.
Wu Di judged that it was a mountain material because of its size, a boxy piece of jade material, the upper end was slightly narrower, the whole height was 30 centimeters, the length was 50 centimeters, and the thickness was about 30 centimeters. It is almost impossible for mountains and rivers to produce such large material. The edges and corners around the stone are rounded and clearly polished.
"Three old brothers, this is a piece of Hetian green and white jade of mountain material, it may be a little old, you see that this bag of pulp is quite thick."
"We don't understand any of this, so we want to ask Brother Wu how much it's worth?"
Wu Di gently stroked the surface of the jade and muttered:
"The quality of this jade is not good, it looks a little dry, and it is so smooth to the touch because of the pulp. Now the price of this jade is about 2,000 yuan per kilogram. If it is sold according to the ancient jade, it should be higher, but whoever buys such a large piece back, it is used to carve, and it does not reflect the value of the ancient jade, so the price is still about the same as the new jade. ”
The faces of the three people were full of disappointment, and they hugged this big guy and asked more than a dozen jade shops, and what they said was similar to Wu Di's, but the price was lower, and the highest was 1,21 kilograms.
The third is the most clever and says:
"This piece of jade is more than 30 kilograms, and a boss saw it and gave 3,000 yuan a kilogram, and we were not willing to sell it. Brother Wu, aren't you also in this business? Do you see if you take it or not? We'll sell it to you cheaper, and we won't have to run around again, such a big guy, it's quite heavy to hug around. ”
Mom shook her head at Wu Di, Wu Di was also a little unhappy, two thousand yuan a kilogram is said to be the selling price, the purchase price of those stores must be lower, three thousand yuan, a liar.
Wu Di shook his head and said:
"I'm in the antique business, and I don't accept jade materials."
"This is also a piece of ancient jade, didn't you say that there is still pulp? We'll sell it to you cheaper, you're better than us, aren't you? ”
Wu Di sneered, took me for a fool, didn't you? Just waiting to refuse, my heart moved, such a large piece of jade material, it is not easy to encounter it usually, plus it is a little old thing, find someone to carve a landscape figure, and put it in the living room of my mother's house is not bad. But you must not offer too high a price, so that these guys will think that he is stupid and easy to talk, and try to fool him with other things.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Di thought of his words:
"This thing has been carved by someone, and it is also a thing to put in the living room of the villa. However, this price cannot be as I just said, I am talking about the selling price, and there is no profit at all. If you want me to collect it, I will give up to 15,000 per kilogram. ”
"Brother, look, this is all grown up watching you grow up, you add more, add more."
"At most, one thousand sixteen, if it's not suitable, how many brothers will take a look?"
The old mother pulled Wu Di's clothes vigorously in the back, Wu Di was unmoved, even if it was more expensive, it was a gift for the godmother, it was a heart. Besides, although these people are unbearable, they are also old neighbors for many years, Wu Di doesn't want to offend them, after all, their mother still has to live in the factory.
The three brothers glanced at each other, and the eldest nodded:
"Okay, one thousand six is one thousand sixteen, I'm really too lazy to run, this stone has thirty-eight kilograms, just give us a total of 60,000 yuan."
Wu Di hugged the stone, it was very heavy, and he didn't pick it up, so he said:
"Okay, then I'll write something, we can count as having a voucher, and then I'll give you the money, do you think it's a transfer or a cash withdrawal in the bank?"
The mother ignored Wu Di angrily, and whispered to the father who had just gotten up, Wu Di wrote the transfer agreement, and then took the bag and went to the bank with the three brothers to withdraw money.
On the road, the three brothers kept testing Wu Di, Wu Di estimated that they still had something in their hands, but it should be that others were not optimistic, and now he didn't have that kind of eyesight, so he was polite and not too enthusiastic. The three brothers talked to themselves for a while and then lived peacefully.
As soon as he got home, Wu Di was complained by his mother, saying that those three people were not good things, and he didn't care about his father's future for the sake of inheritance. Wu Di smiled:
"People can't do it, as long as things can work. Another day, I will find a master, carve a landscape, give it to my godmother, and put it in their living room. ”
The old mother went to sleep with a mutter, Wu Di took out the wordless book of heaven from his luggage, printed it on the jade, picked up a magnifying glass to read, but was startled by the hint of the book of heaven! The words displayed on the book of heaven are much larger, more than a dozen words, occupying a page, and they can be seen clearly without a magnifying glass, and the color is not black, but bright red!
"Shocking masterpiece, Ming Lu Zigang micro openwork, mountains and rivers!"
Wu Di almost hit his head on a stone, shocking? How amazing would it be to make such a divine book as the Wordless Book of Heaven a god-shattering work? A stone pier worth 50 million shows such a line, how much should it be worth if it is full of big red letters? What is openwork? It can't be this big stone lump anyway! With the experience of brick inkstone, needless to say, there must be something here, and it is not an ordinary thing! But this green and white jade is round and round, and there is not a single seam, how did you put it in? Is it the same as a brick inkstone? You can't fall again, can you?
