Chapter 36: Ginger is still old and spicy

Thinking about it, Li Tianbao smiled and said: "It's simply crooked, many people know that China's English 'China' agrees with porcelain, but they don't know that the English 'japan' in Xiaoyuben refers to lacquerware." ”

Li Tianbao's words made Zhang Xiaoqi have to be convinced, because he obviously didn't know much about these things, and he was really a little curious when Li Tianbao said this, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth to "ask" the former primary school apprentice of "Fengyuan Hall".

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Xiaoyu spoke: "Why is our country's lacquerware a complete book?" ”

Li Tianbao coughed deliberately, thinking, "If it weren't for Du Meinan sorting out a lot of lacquerware knowledge, he really couldn't pretend to be an expert in front of Zhang Xiaoqi, but this fight will make Zhang Xiaoqi anxious." ”

"Ahem", Li Tianbao coughed deliberately, and continued, "That's the case, China's lacquerware craft was introduced to the 'land of projectiles' as early as the late sixth century, and during the Qing Dynasty, China refused to sell lacquerware to Western powers at a lower price, so that Xiao Yueben took advantage of the loophole, and then said that he imitated China's lacquerware skills, and claimed to be 'the country of lacquer art'.

With China's own strength and emphasis on cultural relics and craftsmanship in recent years, as well as the repeated achievements of ancient Chinese lacquerware in international auctions, the ancient Chinese luxury jewelry of the past has regained its glory. ”

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, Wang Xiaoyu hurriedly asked again: "What is the price of lacquerware?" ”

"In the 2001 Spring Auction, Christie's Hong Kong sold 26 precious pieces of ancient Chinese lacquerware, of which 24 were sold, with a turnover of more than HK$30 million. One of them, which experts called the pinnacle of Yongle lacquer art, was finally sold for 12.87 million yuan, setting a record in the history of Chinese lacquerware auctions at that time. ”

And industry experts have always believed that if you want to explore the investment value of lacquerware, you must first understand the types of lacquerware, just like porcelain is divided into blue and white, pastel, etc., and lacquerware collections are also divided into different types in different periods. ”

Li Tianbao's statement in one go made Zhang Xiao speechless. He was so angry that he said loudly: "Li Tianbao, I don't care how you learned so many things, as soon as you enter the door, I know that you are not holding back a good fart, do you want to steal business with me." ”

Zhang Xiaoqi's impatience hit Li Tianbao's heart, and he said with a smile on his face: "If you give me a trick to let me 'punch' and lose money, I won't want to rob you of a business, tell you, I will rob you today." ”

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he turned to Wang Xiaoyu and said, "Dude, I have taken a fancy to your thing, in this way, I will give you a million, and you give me the thing." ”

Wang Xiaoyu was deliberately surprised: "One million, this price is fair, I sold it." ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaoqi is extremely urgent, he understands the true value of this thing better than anyone else, if it is in an auction house, it is estimated that it is tens of millions of auction items, even if it is transferred back and forth in the hands of collectors, it will not be less than five or six million.

"No, you can't sell this thing to him, this is my shop."

Zhang Xiaoqi said loudly to Wang Xiaoyu: "I'll give you two million, this price is always okay." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaoqi was about to reach out to take the wooden box in Wang Xiaoyu's hand.

Li Tianbao stopped him behind him and said to Wang Xiaoyu: "Brother, I'll give you three million, I'll go back and prepare money for you first, I'll wait for you in the store opposite, let's pay the money with one hand and the baby with the other." ”

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he walked out of the "Fengyuan Hall" with a smile.

"Three million, my God, I'll go to the store opposite." Wang Xiaoyu was about to snatch the door while holding the box.

"Li Tianbao, you little bastard, even if I go bankrupt, I won't let you get what you want."

Zhang Xiaoqi gritted his back molars and said, "I'll pay 3.5 million, how about transferring it to you right away?" ”

"Three and a half million? Deal! I want cash though. Wang Xiaoyu said calmly.

"No problem, I'll prepare cash for you right away." Zhang Xiaoqi was annoyed by Li Tianbao's appearance of a horizontal bar, and he didn't care why the other party asked for cash, but immediately instructed the appraiser to prepare 3.5 million in cash.

Wang Xiaoyu walked out of the "Fengyuan Hall" with a cash full of three and a half million, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth the moment he stepped out of the door.

"Hey, 110? I'm going to call the police, the 'gold-painted lacquerware plate' stolen from the museum is now in a pawn shop called 'Fengyuantang' in Panjiayuan Antique City. ”

Li Tianbao hung up the payphone and turned back to Wang Xiaoyu with a satisfied smile.

Then Li Tianbao asked Wang Xiaoyu to wait for him at the famous "Little Wangfu" hotel in Yanjing, and he immediately went to Zhang Xiaoqi's store.

"Yo he, Zhang Xiaoqi, you are yin enough, I turned around and prepared the money for others, but I still let you buy the things."

Zhang Xiaoqi was holding the baby and looking at it beautifully, looking up and squinting at Li Tianbao, and said in a sissy voice: "How can you kid beat me, how many years have I been working on this street, and you want to fight with me." ”

"It's really, think about it, master, I'm just a junior apprentice who went out of this 'Fengyuan Hall' last month, and I was tricked by you for more than 300,000 a few days ago, and I still really lose to you everywhere!"

"Now you know what 'ginger is still old and spicy', you kid obey me softly, call me 'Zhang Ye', maybe I won't be difficult for you in the future, otherwise you will do business in the future, but you will inevitably have a 'stumble', and it may happen again last time."

"You still want to learn from others to be 'masters', and you don't panic. Do you want the master to pee on you, so that you can take your 'scratch' look. Although Li Tianbao was scolding the street, his tone was not tough, and he kept showing a relaxed smile on his face.

Zhang Xiaoqi blushed angrily when he heard Li Tianbao's words, and said, "Good boy, you wait for me to see how I clean you up in the future." ”

"In the future, I don't think you will have a future."

Li Tianbao's words made Zhang Xiao stunned, and before he could ask urgently, two uniformed policemen came in from outside the door.

"Hello, we are from the police station, and we just received a report that you have stolen a piece of national first-class cultural relics." A police officer.

Zhang Xiaoqi didn't react at the moment, but he quickly realized something, and he hurriedly wanted to hide the "gold-painted lacquerware plate" in his arms, but he could escape the eyes of the people's police.

"What did you take? It can't be the stolen goods. After speaking, the young policeman immediately stepped forward and snatched the things in Zhang Xiaoqi's hand, and said, "It's really a stolen person, come with us." ”

Zhang Xiaoqi was really panicked at this time, and immediately said: "I spent money to buy things, but I spent 3.5 million to buy them." After speaking, Zhang Xiaoqi glanced at Li Tianbao and said to the two policemen: "If you don't believe it, you can ask him, he was also there just now." ”

"You want me to prove to you that you have to say a hundred 'Bao Ye' to get it, but I feel disgusting when the 'Bao Ye' comes out of your mouth." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Zhang Xiaoqi, laughed a few times and turned around and walked away.

In this way, Zhang Xiaoqi was invited to the Public Security Bureau because of the acquisition of stolen national first-class cultural relics, which is a big incident that has occurred in the "Panjiayuan" antique city in recent years.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Tianbao and Wang Xiaoyu drank so happily in the box of the "Xiaowangfu" hotel in Yanjing.

"Brother Bao, do you think Zhang Xiaoqi will be imprisoned by us for a few years?" Wang Xiaoyu said a little drunk.

"That's not it, but that guy will definitely stay in it for a while, and the loss of three million is not a small amount, plus the lawsuit, I don't think 'Fengyuantang' will last long."

"Brother Bao, this is probably enough for Zhang Xiaoqi to bear." After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he asked, "Now do we have to wait?" ”

"You kid is smart, you go to Zhang Xiaoqi's store to keep an eye on, and notify me as soon as there is any trouble."

"Brother Bao, where are you going?"

"Du Menan is going to the United States tomorrow, I have to send it off, if it weren't for her help this time, we wouldn't have been able to go so smoothly." Li Tianbao felt a little sad in his heart after speaking.

Early the next morning, when Wang Xiaoyu was still asleep, Li Tianbao had already driven in the direction of the capital airport. His purpose, of course, was to send off the gentle and kind second lady, Du Meinan.

Li Tianbao parked the broken pickup truck in the parking lot of the airport, and then walked towards the terminal, when a hand suddenly grabbed his arm from behind him.

"Hello young man, do you want something good?" blurted out a Mandarin with a strong western Xinjiang accent.

As soon as Li Tianbao turned around, he saw that he was pulling himself by a bearded Westerner, who looked to be about fifty years old, of course, this number is not easy to determine, because the appearance of Westerners is indeed significantly different from that of Han Chinese, and it is certainly not easy to locate the age.

"What's good for you?" Li Tianbao also learned the tone of the people from Western Xinjiang and asked him.

Although the old man from Western Xinjiang was a little unhappy, he didn't say anything because he saw that Li Tianbao had no malicious intent, but took out a handkerchief embroidered with Western Xinjiang ornaments from his pocket.

Li Tianbao only glanced at it, and found that the blue light in his left eye seemed to be a little surging, Li Tianbao tried to soothe the blue light with his mind, and this time the "negotiation" was a little easier than before. Although he can't control the appearance of these Pixiu eyes freely, and judge and repair things according to his own will, it is rare to be able to control him from acting on his own will.

The surge of blue light proves that this thing must be a good jade, and there is no need to worry about eye-catching. Li Tianbao then asked the old man in Western Xinjiang: "How much is your thing?" ”
