Chapter 331: Shi Huaiyu's abacus

Hearing Shi Huaiyu's request to buy Jade Ruyi, Ma Songbai, Fang Wenbo and the others looked at him with a hint of strangeness in their eyes.

Although the two of them also bought jade carvings from Qin Yu before, a large part of the reason was out of love, and they had not determined that the overlord jade was a new jade species, but now it is very different, although it has not yet been professionally appraised, but it is not far from ten, and he is now proposing to buy it, and his intention is very suspicious.

I was unhappy, but Qin Yu didn't show it on his face, and still asked with a warm smile: "I don't know how high the price is that Mr. Shi is willing to pay?" ”

After pondering for a few seconds, Shi Huaiyu walked around the jade Ruyi twice, and said: "Whether this jade is a new variety has yet to be identified, I heard Mr. Fang say, his jade Guanyin cost five million before, then I will also pay this price, is Boss Qin satisfied?" ”

Qin Yu suddenly laughed, this Shi Huaiyu is really good at doing business, the volume of that jade Guanyin is obviously smaller than this jade Ruyi, he is embarrassed to open a price of five million, and what else is to be appraised, it is clear that he is lowering the price.

Seeing a hint of disdain in his smile, Shi Huaiyu's expression turned a little colder and asked, "What's the matter, Boss Qin is not satisfied with this price?" ”

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied." Qin Yu shook his head.

"Oh, then why are you laughing?" Shi Huaiyu asked, his face looking a little better.

"I'm very dissatisfied!" Qin Yu's voice suddenly raised decibels, glared at Shi Huaiyu and asked, "Mr. Shi, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first time we've met, right?" ”

Shi Huaiyu didn't know what he was going to say, but he still nodded.

"Since it's only the first time we've met, and we don't have any friendship at all, why are you offering such a low price?" Qin Yu sneered and said: "Everyone present is quite accomplished in jade research, the overlord jade is basically determined to be a new jade species, my uncle has passed away, no one in the world knows the origin of the overlord jade anymore, maybe it won't be long before the overlord jade will have a price, let alone five million, I don't want to sell it for ten million!" ”

Being questioned in public, Shi Huaiyu's face completely darkened, so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and said in a low voice: "Boss Qin, whether this jade is a new variety or not, you want to sit on the ground and raise the price now, it's too unkind, right?!" ”

"Who is not kind, everyone will know at a glance." Qin Yu snorted coldly: "At the beginning, Mr. Fang bought a jade pearl the size of an egg at a price of 10 million from my side, if it wasn't for the recommendation of Ma Dong, I wouldn't have sold it, and then I saw that Fang was always a person who loved jade, so I sold him another jade Guanyin, not that the jade Guanyin was only worth five million, but I think Mr. Fang is worth befriending, but Mr. Shi, I'm really unaffordable!" ”

"You ......" Shi Huaiyu was angry, pointed at Qin Yu and snorted and said: "Everyone is commenting, I just proposed five million to buy Jade Ruyi, if the price is not satisfied, you can discuss it again, is it reasonable for him to be so cynical?!" ”

Ma Songbai and the others were silent, but they knew what they meant at a glance with their expressions, it was clear that you wanted to take advantage of it first, and now you are still beating a rake, saying that others are unreasonable.

Even Mu Xiaobai, a jade collector who has always been good friends with Shi Huaiyu, remained silent, and did not speak for his friend, he also felt that Shi Huaiyu's eating appearance was too ugly, if he bid seven or eight million, it would be barely reasonable, but you offered the same price as Fang Wenbo, and the intention was obvious, wasn't it taking advantage or what?

On carving, jade Ruyi is better than jade Guanyin, from the above lines can be seen at a glance, on the size, jade Ruyi is more than jade Guanyin a lot, even the president of the jade association He Wenhai believes that this is a new jade species, you also have a price of five million, it is really unreasonable.

Seeing that no one was "speaking up" for himself, the corners of Shi Huaiyu's mouth twitched twice, and his face was hot.

Indeed, as everyone thinks, he just wants to take advantage of the opportunity, so he chose the most finely carved and the largest jade Ruyi, and wants to wait for the overlord jade to change hands at a high price after becoming famous.

Having been in the jade jewelry business for many years, Shi Huaiyu is very clear about the market situation, with the jade quality of the overlord jade, plus the gimmick of the new jade species, when the time comes, he will ask a famous carver to repair it, and many collectors are willing to pay a high price.

"Mr. Shi, everyone understands people, we know your calculations very well, if Lingtang really celebrates his eightieth birthday, as the boss of Huaiyu Jewelry, can't you pick out a suitable jade, but you want to buy it from me?" Qin Yu sneered, and said in a cold voice: "I have checked some jade auction records, some jade handed down from the Qing Dynasty sold for tens of millions, and it is not one or two, although my overlord jade is not ancient jade, but it is also a rare beautiful jade, and it is carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, I know how much it can be worth." ”

"Boss Qin, I don't know which master these jade artifacts are from?" He Wenhai interjected: "I observed this jade lion before, and I could see every hair clearly under the magnifying glass, and the lines were clear and smooth, which is impossible for ordinary craftsmen to have this technique. ”

"Indeed, I see that this jade Ruyi is extremely beautifully carved, and it must have come from the master's hand." Mu Xiaobai also spoke.

"You guessed right." Qin Yu nodded and said: "These jade carvings are all carved by Master Liu Ming, Master Liu's ancestor once apprenticed to the famous sculptor Gu Jue, and his carving skills are extremely exquisite. ”

"It turned out to be Master Liu Ming."

He Wenhai has also heard of Liu Ming, although he is not very old, but in recent years, he has produced a lot of excellent works, and his works can often be seen in many sculpture art exhibitions.

"It seems that Master Liu's carving skills have been greatly improved recently, and I also have a collection of jade carvings from Master Liu in the first two years at home, although it is also very exquisite, but it is far less than this jade Ruyi." Mu Xiaobai smiled.

Shi Huaiyu's face was even more ugly, he originally thought that Qin Yu didn't know the value of beautiful jade, and he casually found craftsmen to carve them, and the works of famous artists and ordinary craftsmen were very different in price.

Fang Wenbo next to him secretly rejoiced, if the overlord jade is really a new jade species, and the number is extremely limited, and there is the aura of the master, it can be regarded as an heirloom, passed down from generation to generation, and the last time I bought that jade Guanyin for five million, it was really profitable.

Glancing at Yu Ruyi very unwillingly, Shi Huaiyu knew that his abacus had failed, and he had no face to stay any longer, so he said coldly: "Since Boss Qin is unwilling to sell to Zaixia, then I will leave!" ”

Watching him hurriedly walk out of the door of the bar, Qin Yu squinted, he just noticed a hint of resentment in Shi Huaiyu's eyes, it was likely that he would retaliate in secret, the open gun was easy to dodge and the dark arrow was difficult to prevent, so he had to be careful.

"I'm really sorry Mr. Qin, I don't know that Shi Huaiyu very well, and I didn't know that he was such a person, so I rushed to bring him here and caused you trouble." Fang Wenbo arched his hand and said.

Qin Yu shook his head: "Mr. Fang doesn't have to feel guilty, it's not your fault, you don't know your face but you don't know your heart, in front of interests, some people show their true colors." ”

"Boss Qin, then I'll go back first, and as soon as the appraisal results come out, I'll get the certificate and jade here immediately." He Wenhai said.

Waiting for He Wenhai to leave, among the three people brought by Fang Wenbo, only Mu Xiaobai remained, but he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Mr. Qin, Lao Mu not only likes to collect jade, but also likes to collect fine wine, he is interested in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wines, and the collection at home can open a small exhibition hall." Fang Wenbo said.

Mu Xiaobai smiled and waved his hand again and again: "What Mr. Fang said is too exaggerated, in fact, it is because collecting jade requires a large amount of money, and I am shy in my pocket, so I changed the direction of collecting fine wine." ”

To be a collector, there must be a lot of family background, and the shyness in the pocket is just self-modesty, Qin Yu smiled, this Mu Xiaobai is an interesting person.

"Since Master Mu likes fine wine, he naturally wants to drink it when he comes to me, and I just got a batch of Xiantao wine a few days ago, please try it." Qin Yu put the jade back on the shelf and led everyone into the private room.

Seeing the fairy peach wine packed in a bamboo tube, Mu Xiaobai was quite interested, and he watched the bamboo tube for a while, and seemed to like it very much.

"Master Mu, if you like this bamboo tube, it doesn't hurt to give you one." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"That'...... You're welcome. Mu Xiaobai lifted his glasses and said: "I have seen a lot of jade carvings, stone carvings and wood carvings, but such exquisite bamboo carvings are really rare. ”

"There are a lot of good things in this health bar, especially for you collectors, many of the calligraphy and paintings on this wall are antiques and genuine, and some are rare although they are not from famous artists." Ma Songbai pointed to a calligraphy and painting of Zheng Banqiao on the wall and said.

When the bar opened, some of the guests gave antique calligraphy and paintings, which were used by Qin Yu to make decorations, but the number was also limited, and then he asked Yuan Tiangang to buy some works of talented scholars in the earth fairy world, and now there is at least one exquisite calligraphy and painting in each private room.

The paper and pen used in the earth fairy world still continue the ancient style, so it looks not much different from ancient paintings, many readers are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their strength is not even weaker than those calligraphy and paintings, but their fame is not obvious.

"I really can't imagine that there are so many collections in the bar, can Boss Qin take us to enjoy it?" Mu Xiaobai said with a slightly excited expression.

"It's rare for Master Mu to have this Yaxing, then I will do my best to be a landlord, please move and watch." Qin Yu got up and made an inviting gesture.

In addition to a few private rooms that already have guests, the rest of the private rooms Qin Yu took a few people to visit one by one, and when he saw the back, even Ma Songbai, who came most often, couldn't help but marvel, although he knew that there were a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings in the health bar, but he didn't pay attention to it before, and now he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, just these treasures, if they were valued, the price would be at least tens of millions, and it would be even higher if they were brought to the auction house!
