Chapter 3: Harvesting the Mulberry Elm

"Mengqi, do you know how to authenticate antiques?"

"Of course it will, our family started with antiques, since I was a child, I heard and saw it until now, even the toys when I was a child are antiques, and the level of intermediate appraisers is there, how can Brother Ting have antiques to identify."

"Hehe, I have an ancestral jade pendant here, Mengqi will help me take a look, how valuable is it."

Yang Tingjian hurriedly took out the jade pendant that almost cost his life from his trouser pocket and handed it to Xia Mengqi, who was very surprised.

"Wow! Your fast jadeite is so beautiful, and it is still planted in the old pit glass. ”

Now Yang Tingjian was even more surprised, feeling that his jade pendant was jade instead of jade! Yang Tingjian is an idiot when it comes to appreciating jade.

"Mengqi, are you sure this is jade? Or what is the old pit of glass? ”

"Brother Ting, how could I be wrong! We have it in our antique shop! Definitely authentic Burmese old pit glass jadeite, I'm sure. ”

"Forget it, you better tell me directly! I don't know anything else. ”

"Brother Ting, you have made a fortune, let me tell you this! The market value of such a large number of glass jadeite in the new pit is about three million, and the five million of the old pit, if the value of the Qing Dynasty is about eight million, and the conservative estimate of the Ming Dynasty is about ten million, you are in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

However, it's better that I don't sell it, this thing will appreciate in value, and it can also be used as a family heirloom. ”

"Ah!! ……”

As soon as Yang Tingjian heard that his piece of jade was actually worth 10 million, his eyes were straight at that time, and his mind was blank, and he didn't react until Xia Mengqi pushed him.

"Let's sell it! I need money to do business, and this piece of jade alone can't change my destitute fate. ”

Of course, Xia Mengqi knows Yang Tingjian's current situation, if Yang Tingjian's family is wealthy, it is understandable to leave this piece of jade as an heirloom, but Yang Tingjian's parents are ordinary workers, and they died of cancer a few years ago, and the money from selling this piece of jade can be used as Yang Tingjian's first fund.

Therefore, Xia Mengqi plans to help Yang Tingjian, not to mention the girl's ignorance, didn't her father put an antique shop under his name? Then this piece of jadeite can be regarded as his first business! But the amount of money to buy this piece of jade is too big, even if An Mengqi is a rich girl, she will definitely not be able to take it out.

"Brother Tingjian, let's go to my dad together now, I think he will definitely be interested in this piece of jadeite."

After Xia Mengqi finished speaking, she returned the piece of jade to Yang Tingjian, and then took Yang Tingjian's hand and left, the little daughter's mentality was exposed, this girl is lively and active, not reading material at all.

Xia Mengqi's father, named Xia Zheng, is a well-known rich man in Shanghai, and he is involved in many industries.

A few hundred meters away and it will be there quickly. Xia Mengqi held Yang Tingjian's hand, talking and laughing all the way, like a cheerful lark. When the two of them arrived at the door of the Xia family's villa, Xia Mengqi let go of Yang Tingjian's hand.

At this time, Xia Zheng was watching the scenery on the balcony, and the ambiguous scene of the two holding hands was in full view. Of course Xia Zheng, the man whose daughter is holding hands, knows it, isn't it Yang Tingjian, the poor boy who made up for his family's daughter and rented his own warehouse?

Xia Zheng was also born poor, and he also hated those gentlemen, including his own unsuccessful losers, so Xia Zheng did not have the idea of disliking the poor and loving the rich.

Xia Mengqi shyly let go of Yang Tingjian's hand, and then said timidly:

"Brother Tingjian, my dad is at home, you sit in the living room for a while, I'll go upstairs and tell my dad, okay?"

Yang Tingjian was led all the way here by Xia Mengqi, and he was always confused, Yang Tingjian thought in his heart:

"This girl doesn't like herself! Could it be that Mengqi, who is already an adult, wants to find a boyfriend for a poor boy like herself? Where does this begin? Could it be that this is the legendary lost eastern puppet, harvested mulberry elm? ”

Xia Mengqi's words interrupted Yang Tingjian's thoughts, and Yang Tingjian hurriedly agreed:

"Okay, Mengqi, you can bring this piece of jade to Uncle Xia to see!"

The two walked into the Xia family's villa side by side, and after Xia Mengqi asked the maid to give Yang Tingjian a cup of coffee, she hurried to her father's study.

Yang Tingjian sat quietly in the living room, casually glanced at the decoration in the living room, it was indeed very luxurious and splendid, but Yang Tingjian felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he looked calm, and at the same time did not look around.

Yang Tingjian's every move was clearly seen by Xia Zheng, who had returned to the study, Yang Tingjian was not moved by the luxury in front of him, which undoubtedly left an excellent impression on Xia Zheng, Xia Zheng had to pay attention to the man who held hands with his precious daughter!

"Bang bang...... Daddy, are you there? ”

Xia Zheng heard his daughter's knock on the door, quickly turned off the monitor on his desk, and then said casually:

"Come in! Baby, is there something wrong with you? ”

"Dad, this is Yang Tingjian's family heirloom jade, I want to sell it, please help me take a look."

Xia Mengqi, who entered the door, hurriedly handed Yang Tingjian's piece of jade to Xia Zheng to check, Xia Zheng has been playing with antique jade for decades, as long as this thing passes his eyes and hands, there is absolutely no mistake, and the accuracy of the valuation is also quite high.

Xia Zheng took the jadeite, looked at it with a magnifying glass and a strong light for a while, and then asked with a surprised expression:

"Mengqi, this jade is the glass Laokeng jadeite of the Jiajing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, the quality is perfect, crystal clear, auspicious, it is a rare treasure, and the market value should be about 12 million."

"Dad, don't you want me to take over the antique shop on Shanghai Road? I want to do the first business in my life, and you can see how much money you will receive for this piece of jadeite. ”

"Ten million!"

"I ......" Xia Mengqi looked at her father pitifully, and she didn't leave, which meant that she couldn't understand, "Dad, give money!" ”

Of course, Xia Zheng understands his daughter's tricks, anyway, he plans to train his daughter to take over the family business, and now he is giving his daughter 10 million dollars, Xia Zheng thought of this, so he immediately wrote a check for 10 million to Xia Mengqi.

As soon as Xia Zheng opened the check, Xia Mengqi couldn't wait to grab the check, then turned around and ran out of the room, leaving Xia Zheng with a stunned face, he only heard Xia Mengqi shouting from afar:

"Thank you, Dad!"

Xia Zheng could only say helplessly: "This kid." "Then I started to pick up the top jade of the tens of millions of levels on the table and play with it, people who love to play with antiques are not something you and I can understand.

"Brother Tingjian, 10 million! Now it's time for you to treat me to a big dinner. ”

Xia Mengqi ran to Yang Tingjian's side like a whirlwind, like a cheerful, water-skimming swallow, and dangled the check in his hand triumphantly in front of Yang Tingjian.

"Please go to the Peace Hotel for dinner tonight, and ask for whatever you want."

Suddenly, Xia Mengqi said to Yang Tingjian very shyly:

"Brother Tingjian, in fact, your jadeite is worth 12 million, but my father only gave 10 million, and I still have 1 million in private money, can your jadeite sell me for 11 million? This is my first business! ”

Xia Mengqi is really sincere to Yang Tingjian, in fact, even if Xia Mengqi says that this piece of jade is only worth two million, Yang Tingjian will sell it!

"Of course, Mengqi's first business, I have to support it no matter what, not to mention that you treat me so sincerely."

"It's good to know!"

Xia Mengqi responded to Yang Tingjian with a pout, then handed the check and a bank card to Yang Tingjian's hand and continued:

"This check is only 10 million, my bank card has 1 million, and the password is my birthday."

Yang Tingjian looked at the checks and bank cards in his hand, and there was still a faint virgin fragrance on Xia Mengqi's hand, Yang Tingjian couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings, this crossing of antiques is really a profitable business.

"Mengqi, thank you, I really didn't expect to become a multimillionaire in an instant, to be honest, I'm really a little uncomfortable, otherwise, your antique shop has just taken over, and the liquidity is definitely not abundant, I will hand over the 10 million to you for safekeeping!"

When Xia Mengqi heard Yang Tingjian's words, she was surprised and delighted, surprised by his Tingjian's brother's trust and support for her, and happy that this was like wood, and the big brother who didn't understand the girl's mind was finally a little enlightened and knew to hand over the money to the girl who liked him.

This is 10 million, even for the Xia family, it is a lot of money, Yang Tingjian just handed it over to Xia Mengqi, is it too hasty.

In fact, Yang Tingjian has been carefully considered, and now he is alone in modern society, traveling back to the chaotic era at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that Yang Tingjian needs to come back from the late Ming Dynasty to sell antiques in the future, and Xia Mengqi is exactly the one who opened an antique shop, which is a perfect match! In the future, Yang Tingjian also needs Xia Mengqi's help to purchase some materials in modern times, such as steam engines, textile machines, seamless steel pipes, hybrid seeds, etc., so Yang Tingjian chose to trust Xia Mengqi unconditionally.

"Brother Tingjian, you want me to be your housekeeper! I'm not going to do it! ”

Xia Mengqi's big eyes flickered, her beautiful face was full of happiness, although Xia Mengqi disagreed, but her eyes were full of expectation.

After all, Yang Tingjian has been mixed in the society for a few years, Xia Mengqi's careful thinking is still understood, he first casually, slowly prepared to put away the checks and bank cards:

"Hey...... Since Mengqi doesn't want to be my housekeeper's mother-in-law, then forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”

"Up......roar" An afterimage swept in front of Yang Tingjian, and Xia Mengqi shot out like lightning and snatched the check that Yang Tingjian was about to put in his pocket.

"Hmph...... Bad apple...... Who said I didn't want to...... Can you find a better housekeeper than me? ”

"Hehe, of course not, Mengqi is my best, the most beautiful housekeeper in the world."

This is the legendary "lost east, harvested mulberry elm"! Yao Na's emotional betrayal, the rich daughter's initiative to give her arms, life is really an incomprehensible book.

"That's pretty much ......," Xia Mengqi said with a cute little mouth.

After Xia Zheng left the room, he turned on the monitor on the table, and the scene in the living room clearly appeared in the monitor, Xia Zheng had done such a sneaky thing, this qiē was all for his baby daughter, it was really pitiful for the parents of the world.

When Yang Tingjian handed over 10 million to Xia Mengqi, Yang Tingjian's calmness and composure that regarded money as dung deeply shocked Xia Zheng, and Xia Zheng asked himself if he couldn't do it.

"This kid is interesting, just with this calmness and calmness, he will also be a person who will make great achievements in the future, our daughter's vision is not bad, is this what the antique world calls a leak."

……

[Note: Picking up leaks - that is, buying very valuable antiques at a very cheap price.] Picking up leaks is a jargon in the antique world, and the image is embodied in the 'picking', because the antique industry generally believes that picking up leaks is a behavior that can be met but not sought, therefore, the northern dialect uses a 'pick-up' to imply its rarity, which is a very witty expression, and it is also a visual embodiment of ridicule culture in Han culture.

This article uses leaks to express Xia Mengqi's father's views on Yang Tingjian, Yang Tingjian, the future son-in-law, is unattainable and extremely rare. 】

The new book is recommended by the brothers, and thank you for the falling leaves.
