Chapter 10: Picking up a big leak

After a long time, Dong Qichang put down the magnifying glass and said with admiration: "I have been an appraiser for so many years, but I have never seen a more exquisite jade than this jade cicada." This is the jade cicada of the Han Dynasty, perfect, and the carving is even more beautiful and complements each other. Little brother, forgive me for being abrupt, the old man paid 500,000 yuan to buy the little brother's jade cicada, I don't know if the little brother can cut his love? ”

500,000?! Yu Fei was taken aback. The value of this jade cicada is so high! Although I subconsciously have a little understanding of antiques, but because of the limitation of experience, I really have no concept of the price, otherwise I wouldn't have paid a thousand yuan to buy the jade Guanyin just now.

Yu Fei's family is in a small remote county, the family is not wealthy, and his parents are reluctant to pay thousands of yuan a year for tuition. And now, as long as you nod your head, you can have half a million! If he had known the value of this jade cicada some time ago, he wouldn't have to worry about the 200,000 fine.

To sell or not to sell? Yu Fei hesitated.

To be honest, Yu Fei needs money very much now, although he still has a few thousand yuan on him, but after he arrives in Ningdu, he will rent a house and find a job, and he doesn't know how long the money can be spent, and he only has a high school diploma now, it is difficult to say whether he can find a job or what kind of job he can find. If he has 500,000 yuan, he can let his parents not have to work so hard in the future, and he can also open another advertising company to continue his dream. At this moment, Yu Fei's heart was pounding, and the word "sell" was almost rushing out of his mouth.

Wen Xuan didn't expect that the always cautious master would offer a price of 500,000 yuan to buy a small jade cicada. At present, the collection is hot, the price of antiques is rising year by year, and the price of antiques has long deviated far from its actual value. But in the circle, the value of these objects is still relatively fixed. An object can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction, but it may only sell for tens of thousands of dollars in the circle. That's the difference between inside and outside the circle.

"This jade cicada is so white, it doesn't even have a single flaw, could it be imitation?" Wen Xuan couldn't help but say out loud.

There is also some truth in what he said, after all, the old objects have been handed down, even if they were flawless at the beginning, but because most of them are unearthed, they will more or less have some color. And there are very few like Yu Fei's pieces that don't have anything at all. In fact, even Wen Xuan didn't know that the reason why he questioned this jade cicada was not only because he was worried about the master's wrestling, but also because he was jealous of Fei. As a peer, although Wenxuan's family background is not bad, he can't control the money. And a poor boy like Yu Fei can have 500,000 in an instant! This made him feel a little uneven, and even looking at Yu Fei was a little unpleasant.

"Shut up!" Dong Dechang shouted angrily.

Wen Xuan's words cleared Yu Fei's mind. This jade cicada has been with him for more than ten years, and his parents have repeatedly told him not to leave his body. Just now, the jade cicada also sent a cool breath to his right hand, and he couldn't sell it in a daze with this, he was more concerned about the changes in his body than money. Taking a step back, even if he guessed wrong, this jade cicada would not help the body, and it would not be too late to sell it at that time.

Thinking of this, Yu Fei shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, old man." I can't sell this jade cicada. Yu Fei said it very difficult, which meant that he was going to miss out on the huge sum of 500,000 yuan.

"What? Does the little brother think the old man's price is too low? Then little brother, you quote a price. You must know that even if this jade cicada is auctioned, it may not exceed one million. The meaning of Dong Dechang's words is obvious, the price of 500,000 is already very high, this is still a high price that he sees as Fei is not an insider in the industry, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

"Old man, it's not about the price. This thing is my family heirloom, and I dare not sell it. Yu Fei said embarrassedly. He knew that Dong Dechang thought he was a little greedy.

"I see." Dong Dechang nodded with relief, with a regretful expression on his face, and carefully returned the jade cicada to Yu Fei.

"It's a pity, if the little brother changes his mind, he can contact me at any time through the way on the business card."

"Xie Lu, old man, I will." Yu Fei nodded. It can be seen that Dong Dechang likes this jade cicada very much, but he did not bully Yu Fei when he was young and deliberately lowered the price of the jade cicada, but clearly told Yu Fei that this jade cicada is white jade in the Han Dynasty, with high artistic value, and directly offered a high price of 500,000 yuan, which made Yu Fei have a good impression of him.

Since Yu Fei decided not to sell the jade cicada, Dong Dechang was a little interested, and took a slight sip of the teacup.

Yu Fei didn't mean to say goodbye, he took out the gift jade Guanyin he had just bought, and said: "I bought an object just now, I don't know if Lu Dao can ask the old man to palm his eyes and break the generation." ”

When Yu Fei bought Jade Guanyin just now, he also asked Dong Dechang to palm his eyes, but due to the rules, the old man did not speak.

This jade Guanyin is lackluster in terms of materials and carving, and it is not worth a thousand yuan at all. Now that Yu Fei took it out again, and he also saw other people's jade cicadas just now, Dong Dechang couldn't refuse it at once, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to tell Yu Fei about the way to collect jade, so as not to be deceived next time.

Dong Dechang nodded and said, "I didn't look carefully just now, maybe I don't know what the way is." ”

Yu Fei opened the box and took out the Jade Guanyin, but what slightly disappointed him was that this time his right hand did not feel anything unusual.

Dong Dechang said while taking the jade carving: "Little brother, in the antique jade industry, you have to see more and shoot less, there are too many ways in it, and even some experts may be eye-catching." ”

Yu Feixin said that it was not the eyes that decided to buy this Jade Guanyin, but the hands! He subconsciously looked at his right hand and couldn't help but froze because he found that a thin layer of green qi was coiled in his right hand, but when he looked closely, it disappeared again.

Dong Dechang took a magnifying glass and looked at the jade Guanyin a little and said: "This jade Guanyin is new, and the carving is really average, such a large piece of Kunlun jade has been wasted in vain, this priceβ€”β€”"

He originally wanted to say that Yu Fei was expensive, but when he saw Yu Fei lose his mind for a while, he thought that he had been hit, so he turned his mouth and comforted: "Of course, the most important thing in antique collection is the right eye, as long as you like it, even if you spend some more money, it is worth it." ”

Yu Fei came back to his senses at this time, and said in his heart, what is the difference between this sending Ziyu Guanyin? It's strange that even the senior pawnshop appraiser in front of him can't see it.

"Xie Lu, thank you for the teachings of the old man." Yu Fei said respectfully.

Dong Dechang nodded, it's not terrible to make an eye in the antique market, which of those collectors didn't start with an eye? Even he couldn't tell how many times he had been slapped. The terrible thing is that he is blinded but unwilling to admit it, and even angry with the appraiser. Therefore, appraisers are often annoying. Although the young man in front of him is not very old, his heart is very calm, and it is indeed very rare to learn that he is not depressed or angry, but humbly accepts the advice of others.

Unconsciously, Dong Dechang actually liked the young man in front of him. Even he had the idea of accepting disciples, but he also knew that Lu Dao was a little in a hurry, after all, it was only the first time they met, and it was not clear how this young man was.

Dong Dechang put the jade Guanyin on the table, and put the magnifying glass on it.

Coincidentally, the magnifying glass happened to be placed on the little jade figure that leaked out of Yu Guanyin's hand.

Well? The image that appeared in the magnifying glass surprised Dong Dechang. He hurriedly picked up the magnifying glass and looked at the little jade man carefully, his movements were so agile that they were not even inferior to the life-and-death struggle of martial arts masters!

Seeing Dong Dechang's different color, Yu Fei couldn't help asking: "Old man, is there anything wrong?" ”

But Dong Dechang didn't pay attention to him, and after a long time, he raised his head and said faintly: "Little brother, I'm afraid you have picked up a big leak this time!" ”
