Chapter 199: Silver Ring
What Xiao Wu was holding in his hand was a ring-shaped object, which should belong to a woman's item from the size of it.
"This is what I found in a chest when I was exploring the Golden Chest underwater. Because the box was broken and the thing was small, I was afraid that it would be washed away by the water, so I brought it up. Xiao Wu said.
Yu Fei took a closer look, the surface of the ring was oxidized and a little dark and blackened, and the material turned out to be silver, so Yu Fei's heart sank! It seems likely that not all of these twenty chests are gold. I heard that during the shogunate period, the ratio of gold to silver in Japan was 1:3, which was far lower than the 1:15 ratio in the world at that time. If four million taels of gold were exchanged for silver, the value would have been greatly reduced.
"It's supposed to be a ring, right?" Kong Dashan hesitated and said: "What kind of ornament is this, Brother Yu, you are an expert in this area, give it a broken generation." ”
"Brother Kong, this is a little Japanese thing, I don't have the ability to break the generation." Yu Fei is telling the truth, in order to judge the antiques, what is needed is a very rich historical knowledge, knowing the shape of each era, the characteristics of the ornamentation, and even the preferences and habits of each era to judge. However, there are many antiques that have been handed down in history, and most of the other antiques are difficult to determine the generations, of course, there are corresponding inheritances or written records. However, that is for ordinary people, and for Fei, it can be judged from the concentration of chaotic qi. He'd already tried it just now, and this ring should be three hundred years old, so it's an old thing.
"Brother Yu, look. There's a word engraved on it. "Kong Dashan's collection has not been around for a long time, but the more you are at this stage, the higher your enthusiasm!
Sure enough, Jingkong Dashan reminded him. Yu Fei found that there were two words engraved on the inner wall of the ring: Matsudaira.
What do these two words mean? It's like the year name, it's also like a person's name, anyway, I don't have the impression of flying at all. The outer wall is carved with three leaves of plants that I don't know what kind of plant it is, which should be a badge or something. If you are familiar with Japanese history, you must know that this is the family emblem of the famous Tokugawa shogunate in Japanese history: the three-leaf sunflower pattern.
But Yu Fei didn't know anything about it, he just felt that the three leaves were put together as a badge, which was too unaesthetic, and he didn't know how to think it was an endorsement advertisement for the three strains (the three strains were a smash hit health care brand around 2000. The company logo is three leaves. )
The material is average, the artistic value is average, this is Yu Fei's evaluation of this ring. It is estimated that it will not be sold for a few bucks. Yu Fei was a little deflated.
That's right! Yu Fei suddenly thought that the gift he gave to Saori Mitsui had not yet landed, and it would be a good choice to give this ring, first of all, it was an old object, and it was called an antique to put it nicely. It shouldn't be out of reach; Secondly. It is made of silver, and its value is not very high, but it can be used. Of course, a silver ring is a bit low for Yu Fei's current net worth, but Yu Fei didn't want to be generous in giving a gift to a Japanese lady!
The most important thing is that this ring has not been recorded in the legend of the treasure of Chicheng Mountain, and there is no clue to the golden treasure on it, which is the main reason why Yu Fei is relieved to send him out of the palace.
"Brother Kong. The ring shouldn't be worth much. Yu Fei said. (Not long after, Yu Fei slapped himself several times for this sentence.) However, he didn't pay much attention to Japanese antiques. So I wasn't so upset. )
"Yes. I think so. "When it comes to antique collection, Kong Dashan is not as good as Yu Fei. And he admired Fei a little, so when he heard Yu Fei say this, he nodded in agreement.
"It just so happens that I haven't prepared a birthday gift for my friend yet, and it looks like I don't have time to prepare, how do you feel about taking this ring as a gift?" Although it was only a small silver ring, Yu Fei still asked for the opinions of Kong Dashan and Wu Zhonghao.
"There's no problem with that." Kong Dashan said of course, although he also felt that the value of this ring was a little low, but the ring had a special meaning, and he thought that Yu Fei did it intentionally, so he didn't say anything.
"If you go to a party, there's a good chance you won't be able to catch the gold out of the water." Wu Zhonghao reminded. He knew that many people attached great importance to this ceremony, after all, being able to witness it with their own eyes was also a commemoration. If it was normal, he could have made all the preparations, which was equivalent to flying back and salvage. But now that things are urgent, accidents can happen at any time, and the risk of waiting is too great. He didn't understand what kind of important birthday party it was, so that Yu Fei could put down such an important matter as salvaging gold and rush to the appointment! Where did he know that Yu Fei did this, but he didn't want to expose the golden treasure.
However, Yu Fei didn't care about these vain things, he valued the benefits more, and as for the water ceremony, he didn't care at all.
"Angkor, Brother Kong, with you in charge, I have nothing to worry about. And I don't know much about salvage, and it's the same whether I'm there or not. Yu Fei said: "I only showed up this time, and I guess I will be able to come back soon." ”
According to Yu Fei's idea, as long as he goes to the birthday party to show his face, the delay is only the time to go back and forth on the road, and it shouldn't take long, maybe when he comes back, the gold has not yet come out of the water.
After explaining all this, Yu Fei got on a spare speedboat and went ashore.
Looking at his back, Wu Zhonghao and Kong Dashan sighed, I really don't know if Yu Fei is generous or big, but now he is salvaging more than four million taels of gold, he is so relieved? If you put others aside, you might not even be willing to leave after eating and sleeping!
The residence of Sumitomo Mitsui, chairman of the Mitsui Zaibatsu Board, is a gathering of elites, including government officials, celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and top executives of Mitsui Zaibatsu's companies...... Because today is the birthday of the chairman of the Mitsui Group, the daughter of Saori Mitsui.
Of course, if it's an ordinary birthday, there's no need to be so grand. On top of that, on this birthday, Saori Mitsui and Hitoshi Kazawa, the younger generation of the Kazuda Group, will be married. Prior to this, although both families had such a meaning, it was not decided at the ceremony.
The history of the Mitsui Zaibatsu dates back to the 17th century, starting as a pawnshop and brewing business (which is why the Mitsui Group borrowed the Hengxing pawnshop as a shell when it entered Ningdu), and later became one of Japan's richest people. Today, the Mitsui Group is one of Japan's four major chaebols, with banking, property, and real estate as its pillar industries, with total assets of more than 40 trillion yen and nearly 250,000 employees.
Although the Fengtian Group is the world's largest automobile production company, it is only a company under the Mitsui chaebol. However, the status of the Fengtian Group is becoming more and more positive, and the status is also rising, which is why there is a marriage contract between Saori Mitsui and Kazuda Kawahito.
But neither party was very happy with the engagement.
Saori Mitsui looked down on Kazada Kawahito a little, and felt that his ability was average, and he couldn't control himself at all; As for Kazuda Chuanren, as the crown prince of the Kazuda family, it can be said that he is in a flower bush, as long as he is willing, he will beckon a beautiful woman to pounce, and he is not willing to serve a cold lady.
However, they have no power to change their marriage, or even their fate.
As one of the protagonists of today, Kauda Kawahito arrived early. Most of the guests present already knew about the marriage contract between the Fengtian family and the Mitsui family, and when they saw him, they would smile and say "congratulations", as an outstanding representative of the younger generation, most of them were still happy to see their union.
Of course, this is only the opinion of the older generation. Most young people don't look at it that way, the beauty of Saori Mitsui is obvious to all, and there are not a few young heroes who want to hold the beauty, but in the end, they were won by Kazuda Chuanren, a "toad", because of his family background, many people are resentful, and their attitude towards Kazeda Chuanren is also a little ridiculed, they don't think that Fengda Chuanren's means of picking up girls are clever, but they are just stained with ancestral shade.
At this time, Yu Fei, who did not have the slightest consciousness, was still in the taxi. He looked at the time, smiled wryly and shook his head, it seemed that there was no time to even change clothes! Just dressed in casual clothes for a birthday party? What's not to do, anyway, I'm a soy sauce beater. (To be continued......)
