Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Lost Jade
"This is the legendary reborn jade." Looking at this jade cicada, Fang Qi's heart was full of shock, the reborn jade had only appeared in legends, and he didn't expect it to really exist. Looking at this jade cicada, Fang Qi instantly understood what the old man was going to say about flaws, because the old man might have one or two jade cicadas in his hand, the old man took out one and gambled with Fang Qi, but he also made this request, Fang Qi's impression of the old man instantly became taller, but respect is respect, Fang Qi will not really exchange with him,
"Old man, judging from the cloud and thunder ornaments on the cicada's body, or the heavy ring patterns on the eyes on the head, this jade cicada should belong to the cicada of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the core color on it should also be in the soil for two thousand years, plus the ornamental features above, it can be determined that it is a dynasty or the Western Zhou Dynasty." Hearing Fang Qi's words, except for the old man, everyone else looked at the jade cicada in Fang Qi's hand in shock.
This red jade cicada is very lovely, but I didn't expect it to be something from the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was nearly 2,500 years ago. Not to mention the jade itself, the historical value is already a lot of money, not to mention the value of the jade itself, which is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
"That's all?" Hearing Fang Qi's words, the old man was already very satisfied, if he hadn't known the secret of this jade cicada, he would have identified so much information at most, not to mention Fang Qi, a young man.
"Hehehe, of course not, if there is only so much news, this jade cicada will be more than 10 million heads at most, and it will not reach the level of a rare treasure." Hearing Fang Qi say it so easily, the people around him were already numb, ten million, in Fang Qi's mouth, it was like saying a thousand.
"Oh, what other secrets do you think there are here?" Hearing Fang Qi's words, the corners of the old man's eyes suddenly jumped, and he was worried and regretful at the same time. If Fang Qi really said it, then this treasure would really be in vain.
"Hehehe, it's not the first time this secret has appeared. It is rumored that the Empress Dowager Cixi is obsessed with jade, and among the treasures in her collection is a piece of precious jade, called Birth. As long as this jade is put into the water, it can reflect the entire vat. However, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Cixi gave this jade to Wang Wenshao, the minister of military aircraft who followed the royal family at that time, but unfortunately its whereabouts are unknown. ”
After speaking, he glanced at the jade cicada in his hand, Fang Qi originally wanted to take the cup and test it, but when he saw so many people around. Fang Qi directly gave up this idea, and at the same time took out a check, wrote a number on the check, and handed it directly to the old man. He didn't want to give it up.
"Hehehe, I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to really be able to guess the origin and secret of this jade cicada, Old Man Li accepted a good apprentice. But I don't want this check, I don't bring this money in life, I don't take it with me when I die, I don't lack this money, do you have any small things, a small thing with me, it's a souvenir, right? Hearing the old man's words, Fang Qi suddenly became embarrassed.
But looking at the old man like that, Fang Qi also knew that this teacher was not a person who lacked money. After all, the people who can drive Song Ming can not be ordinary people. But Fang Qi really didn't have anything on him, and the few things on his body were all his favorites. I had no choice but to look at the rosary in my hand.
"I didn't bring anything good with me, this relic is not bad, but it is the relics left by the cremation of Zhu Yunwen, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in his later years, which was obtained together with Zhu Yuanzhang's treasure of Fengtian, and I will give it to the old man today as a souvenir." Hearing Fang Qi's words, the old man's eyes immediately showed a glimmer of essence.
"Hehehe, good thing, this is not a good thing, what is a good thing, Zhu Yunwen's relics, I didn't expect it to really exist, and it is also a first-class cultural relic, and it is worth the number on your check in my eyes. I really don't know what good things you have on you, hehehehe, go, Lao Li of the province came back and said that I bullied you. Hearing the old man's words, Fang Qi respectfully watched the old man leave, and a man in black came outside, taking away the strange stone that the old man had bought.
Seeing the old man leaving, Yuan Qi's father just glanced at the check, one five on the top, seven or eight zeros on the back, either 50 million, or 500 million, looking at Fang Qi's young age to easily take out so much money, his heart was full of shock. Looking at the rosary in Fang Qi's hand, just one relic was worth at least fifty million, so the remaining one was worth a lot of money, and there was also that string of rosary beads.
But he just thinks about it, and he can't afford to provoke a young man who even the old man admires. What's more, there is also an old Li who exists like an old man in the back. Through the old man's words, the real owner of this shop may be his old friend, and Fang Qi has such a big power here, how can it be simple.
"This little brother, let's go too, Qiqi, let's go." Seeing Fang Qi intently looking at the treasure he had just gotten from the old man, his heart was full of shock. Just now he knew that he had left a bad impression on Fang Qi, and it was not good for him to make up for it here, otherwise it would not be good to make up for it, and Yuan Qi's impression might become bad, so he stopped staying here and left immediately.
But Fang Qi didn't care about their family, after all, in Fang Qi's eyes, they were just passers-by. Fang Qi didn't put down the jade cicada in his hand until the evening, he didn't expect the old man to find such a magical thing. Fang Qi looked at the old man's decadent appearance and almost wanted to agree to the exchange.
"Buzz," the phone vibrated for a while, and Fang Qi saw that it was Song Ming, it couldn't be that the old man wanted Song Ming to find him.
"Brother, there's a small auction going to be held tonight, and there are a few good things, do you want to go." Hearing Song Ming's words, Fang Qi's eyes lit up. Fang Qi originally thought that his collection was already very rich. But after seeing the death of celebrities in the newspaper, the battle between hundreds of famous paintings and countless ancient understandings, I realized that Lu Dao's family background was weak, but also, those people are the accumulation of time.
So now Fang Qi also wants to go to those auctions to have a look, but his foundation is weak, although he has a large amount of jadeite, but after all, it is all in kind, not cash.
"Well, okay, I'll go tonight, and my brother will leave me a seat tonight."
"Hehehe, this son is not left by me, if you want to go, you can come to the Tianyuan Club tonight. Then I will take you there. ”
"Okay, I'll go to you when I close the door, and I'll call you when I get there."
"Well, call me when you arrive, I'll wait for you, but don't worry, this auction won't start until eight o'clock in the evening, you just have to come at six o'clock." Fang Qi hung up the phone and looked at the time, it was almost three o'clock, the time was still early, there were still a few customers in the store, Fang Qi slowly read the book here, until it was more than four o'clock, when there were no guests, Fang Qi closed the door.

"Brother, this auction is a private auction, held once a year, open to some people with status. This auction is a mysterious organization. As long as you give them money, they will give you any information, of course, others can know the news, such as the jade seal of the country, but it is impossible to know the Tao.
The antiques they auction are not necessarily genuine, but most of them are genuine, and only a few high-quality imitations are mixed in. And if there is a high imitation inside, the elder brother must not wear it on the spot, there was an old-timer back then, who debunked one of their fakes on the spot, and was ruined by them afterwards. Hearing Song Ming's words, Fang Qi couldn't help frowning, this organization is a bit too domineering.
There are four people in Fang Qi's group, in addition to Fang Qi, Song Ming, and a female companion of Song Ming, an old man who is nearly half a hundred years old, was invited by Song Ming. The woman is very beautiful, and she is also a first-line actress. The old man, Fang Qi is also often seen on TV, but he is an expert who is often a guest on the TV "Treasure Appreciation" program, Yuan Jiming.
"Well, if there's a fake, I'll warn you." Hearing Fang Qi's words, the old man immediately frowned. But he didn't say anything, in his eyes, the young man who could be with Song Ming was the same **, his strength was not a little, he shouted when he bragged, and there was nothing good about arguing with them.
Soon they came to a bar in the city, this bar is a bit inconspicuous, but when they entered the parking station, Fang Qi was shocked to find that it was full of Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron and other good cars, and even a few special brand red flags, Audi, which made Fang Qi's eyes light up.
"If you want to say that the most high-end club on the bright side of Market B is the Tianyuan Club, the emperor in the secret is this Jincheng Club. Since the sixties and seventies, this club has existed, and it is not only terrifying and scary in terms of connections, but also a figure that his current owner cannot be provoked. At that time, Taizu also personally drove to this club and talked cordially with the current owner of this club, and it can be said that as long as the owner of this club said a word, the entire B city would tremble. ”
Hearing Song Ming's words, Fang Qi couldn't help but look at the clubhouse in front of him with not very bright signs, he didn't expect the energy to be so huge. And the actress and the old man were not surprised, obviously it was not the first time to come here, but Fang Qi was full of curiosity. As soon as he walked to the front of the clubhouse, Fang Qi saw two bodyguards in black suits standing at the door, looking at Song Ming and the others with a calm face. But they all gave Fang Qi a feeling of extreme danger, this was no ordinary bodyguard.
"Hello, this is a private club, please show your membership card, or please go there to rest." Song Ming and the others went in without accident, but the two bodyguards stopped Fang Qi, and then pointed in the other direction, it was a hotel, and they saw that there were many people in black inside, obviously all bodyguards. They felt a sense of danger from Fang Qi, so they used Fang Qi as a bodyguard.
"He's my friend, and he's also the bidder this time, he's not a bodyguard, he's not a terrorist, and I don't know the rules here? Wait a minute, I'll explain it to Jin Shao myself. "Song Ming is a famous ** in the capital, obviously his words are very deterrent, and the two bodyguards are really not blocking Fang Qi.
Inside, it's like a bar on TV, with an elegant setting and a quiet atmosphere, with an anonymous singer talking about sad piano music. Didn't see the slightest difference. But as soon as Fang Qi turned the corner, he saw an acquaintance sitting in a corner.
