Chapter 19: The First Taste of the Money Dream

It wasn't until he saw that Chen Zhen stopped making trouble that Zhang He said to Xiao Yu: "Brother, tell us the story of the process of crossing over and which dynasty you went to get these antiques?"

As soon as Zhang He said this, Xiao Yu came to the spirit. opened a bottle of beer and took a sip, and then how it was sucked into the aura of time and space, carried it by his own mind, and traveled to the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty and so on. He also talked in detail about how he exchanged the mineral water in his backpack for fifty taels of silver from the children of the Eight Banners, and met the shopkeeper Liu with a flashlight, folding umbrella and the remaining things in exchange for two calligraphy and paintings.

After talking like a story, Xiao Yu saw the two puppets in front of him... He looked at him motionlessly.

Xiao Yu knocked on the coffee table, and the two came back to their senses. They have never seen such a thing on TV, let alone really happen in front of their eyes.

Looking at the two things that he got back from the crossing in front of him, Chen Zhen asked, "Brother Xiao, what are you going to do with these two things?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "In a few days, let's go up to Dongtai Road to find an antique shop and ask for the price, if it's suitable, let's make a move." ”

Chen Zhen came to his senses, and hurriedly recommended himself: "Why don't I go and find someone to see first, maybe I can buy a good price..."

Zhang He thought for a while and said: "That's it, I knew a few people who were engaged in antique collecting when I was in the restaurant, and I can contact them tomorrow, of course, the premise must be under your trust." ”

Zhang He's character is not to say, even Chen Zhen has been getting along with him day and night in the past few days, and he also admires his righteousness and character very much. So hit it off. It was already late in the night, and the three of them chattered again and went to sleep.

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Zhen had already gone downstairs to buy breakfast, after the three of them finished breakfast, Chen Zhen said that he was going to the unit to say hello, he only said a few days when he asked for leave, and the mobile phone was out of battery in the field, and it is estimated that the unit is looking for him crazy these days.

Needless to say, Zhang He didn't go to work for five days, and it is estimated that it is enough to choke. However, Zhang He still made a few phone calls to contact the antique dealers, and after getting a reply, he asked Xiao Yu to take the two things with him to appraisal.

Xiao Yu didn't go alive or dead, probably because of the crossing, he felt like his limbs were falling apart after sleeping, so he told Zhang He that he was recovering his energy, and Zhang He didn't force it when he heard it, and went out after taking his things.

After about an hour, he heard a knock on the door, Xiao Yu got up sleepily and opened the door, and saw Chen Zhenxing rushing in.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was the only one in the family, he asked, "Why are you alone, Brother Zhang He?"

When Xiao Yu told him that Zhang He took something to find someone to identify, Chen Zhen sat on the sofa and patted his thigh, and said: "Brother Zhang, don't be deceived, I went to the unit to cancel the fake and contacted a few people, I told people what the silver ingot looked like, and they said that if it was true, it could be sold for 300,000 yuan... This is the highest price, if the painting is genuine, it can be sold for 900,000 yuan, inside and outside is 1.2 million... We're rich. As he spoke, his mouth spitted out.

Xiao Yu also opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect that he could get such a huge profit from a crossing, which made him unbelievable.

Chen Zhen went to the hospital, because he couldn't find him, the hospital recorded two days of absenteeism for him, and this time the year-end bonus was gone, and he was angry and quarreled with the director. Thinking about the two treasures, I didn't care about continuing to make trouble, picked up the mobile phone and contacted a few friends, and found two antique dealers on a whirlwind, and described the objects in detail on the phone, but I didn't expect the other party to urgently ask to see something and offered a price.

Chen Zhen couldn't sit still when he heard this, so he drove here.

Just when Chen Zhen was nagging and was afraid that Zhang He would sell cheap treasures, Zhang He came back as soon as he opened the door.

Seeing Zhang He's smile, Chen Zhen stepped forward and asked, "Those two things weren't sold, right?"

Zhang He raised his hand, put the satchel on the bed, and said, "How dare I sell it without the consent of the master's family? ”

Xiao Yu asked Zhang He in a mocking tone: "How is the market?" I wish the eldest brother a prosperous business." ”

Zhang He lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and said: "I went to a friend's place, that calligraphy and painting may be the painting of Xu Wei, a master of ink painting in the Ming Dynasty, and the ingot silver is the official silver of the Qianlong era." Of course, they can't be sure, and they want to ask someone to take a look. They wait for our reply, and if it is authentic, they can pay it in cash if we are willing to do it. ”

Chen Zhen didn't want to know this, what he wanted to know was how much money he could sell, and asked anxiously, "How much banknotes can it be worth?"

Zhang He glanced at him and said slowly: "If it is true, the price of the ink fish and bird painting is 1.5 million, and the ingot silver is 900,000." ”

These words were like a thunderbolt, Chen Zhen's body suddenly trembled, and Xiao Yu's eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing the two of them in a daze, he said: "The price of that painting is still negotiable, they only say that it is an offer, not a price, and if it is correct after being appraised, the price can be negotiated again." ”

There was a silence in the room, the silence that could be heard even when a pin dropped on the ground.

Of course, after the tranquility, there was an outbreak, and the three of them jumped up excitedly in the house, and after a while, Xiao Yu said: "Judging from the life we are currently having, the objects need to be cashed in time, and there is no need to delay time, what do you say, Brother Zhang?"

Zhang He nodded, and Chen Zhen agreed, nodding his head like a kowtow worm.

After settling down, Zhang He contacted the seller and said that he was willing to meet and talk, and if it was feasible, he could also trade. Presumably, the seller was even more anxious, and immediately agreed and gave an address to agree on an interview at three o'clock in the afternoon.

At noon, the three of them didn't dare to go downstairs, for fear that something would go wrong with the two things.

Chen Zhenxian made a diligent call to order takeout, and the three of them had lunch in the house.

It was almost the appointed time, Xiao Yu was a little nervous, and Chen Zhen was even more busy for a while.

Finally dressed neatly, wrapped the two things, drove Chen Zhen's car to the agreed place.

The destination is a very quiet teahouse, and after Xiao Yu and they stopped the car and went in, they found that the environment here was really elegant.

A well-mannered young man stepped forward and asked, "Is it Mr. Zhang He and his party?"

Zhang He stepped forward to report his name, and the year before last, he led them through a labyrinthine corridor to a large room.

There were already three people sitting in front of a huge tea table in the room, and one of them seemed to be in his sixties, already wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, dressed very casually and elegantly. The two people next to them looked like they were in their forties, and they seemed to have the taste of businessmen, judging from the tea cup on their table, they should have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Zhang and them come in, they hurriedly stood up and said hello, one of them was very close to Zhang He, it seemed to be Zhang He's friend, after a greeting introduction, let them sit down, which one on the left with a smile poured tea for the three of them one by one.

Xiao Yu was a little thirsty, so he took a sip of it and couldn't help exclaiming: "Good tea, the best clouds... It's just..."

The middle-aged man who poured tea was stunned for a moment, looked up at Xiao Yu, and asked, "Mr. Xiao also likes tea ceremony?"

Xiao Yujing just introduced his surname Guo, so he said: "No, no, I don't know much about tea, I think this tea will become a masterpiece if it is paired with the water of Yuquan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, I only remember that I drank it once, so the charm is endless, and the memory is unforgettable." ”

Which Mr. Guo looked Xiao Yu up and down with disbelieving eyes, and exclaimed: "Mr. Xiao is really a fellow in tea, according to the secret book of Wen Zixiao in the Qing Dynasty 'The Book of Tea' records that the water and prescription of the clouds and mist accompanied by Yanjiao Yuquan are of the highest quality, and it is really not easy for Mr. Xiao to taste the samadhi." As he spoke, he looked amazed.

He knew that just a few days ago, Xiao Yu drank a pot of fragrant tea in the Qing Dynasty, which was many times better than the tea here.

Someone who was more familiar with Zhang He gave Zhang He a look, and Zhang He understood, so he opened his backpack and took out the two things and put them on the tea table.

Which elegant old man in his sixties looks like a senior antique expert, Zhang He has never seen it, and it is estimated that he was invited by the seller for more security.

The old man picked up the ingot, took a magnifying glass out of his bag, and looked at it carefully for a while. He nodded to Mr. Guo next to him, proving that the goods were real.

When he identified the ingot of silver just now, Chen Zhen's nervous mouth was dry and he was breathing rapidly, and when he saw the old man nodding, his nervous heart was put back in his stomach, and he took a sip of the water on the tea table and drank it dry and let out a long breath.

When the old man carefully unfolded the calligraphy and painting, Xiao Yu's hearts suddenly rose to his throat again.

I saw that the old man took a magnifying glass and looked at it very carefully for a long time, and not a single person present did not hold his breath and stared wide-eyed.

After looking at it repeatedly for a long time, I saw that the old man put the magnifying glass on the tea table and sat down, and the hand holding the water cup was trembling. Several people stared at the reaction on the old man's face, trying to see Ni Duan from the old man's face.

I saw the old man shake his head and said, "I thought I couldn't see this painting anymore, but I didn't expect the original trace to reappear, rare, rare." ”

Which gentleman surnamed Guo asked puzzledly, "Old Ding, what do you mean?"

The old man known as Ding Lao paused for a moment, came back to his senses and said: "Oh, that's right, Xu Weishan painted ink fish and birds, and it is recorded that one of the works [Mountain Stream Water Play] disappeared without a trace in the Qing Dynasty, and many collectors in the industry have been looking for a long time but have not found it. I thought it was ruined, but I didn't expect it to appear here, what a miracle. Just now I thought the painting was a fake, because the paper is a bit new, not like it has been five or six hundred years old, of course, it is just a little basis. However, Xu Wei's painting style and the trajectory of his brushstrokes cannot be imitated, so this is a rare treasure..."After speaking, he took off his glasses and wiped his eyes, and he could see how excited he was in his heart.

Zhang He glanced at Xiao Yu and thought, "Of course it disappeared in the Qing Dynasty, and it was stolen from the Qing Dynasty by this bad boy..."

After wiping his eyes, Ding Lao asked Zhang He with a smile: "I'm sorry, it stands to reason that I shouldn't ask, but I really want to know how this painting came about?"

Zhang He was stunned, he didn't say the origin of this painting, of course he couldn't say that Xiao Yu traveled to the Qing Dynasty and exchanged it with a flashlight, so no one would believe it, maybe he would think of himself as a patient.

"I'm very sorry Mr. Ding, it's just a genuine work, as for the source of the painting, it's really inconvenient to disclose. Zhang He politely politely said.

When Ding Lao heard this, he smiled and stopped asking.

After sitting down again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Guo was busy pouring tea for everyone, so he cautiously asked Zhang He if he was willing to make a move.

Zhang He and Xiao Yu exchanged glances with each other and said, "Okay, it's all your own people, please make a price." ”

When Mr. Ding heard that they were starting to talk about the price, he got up and walked outside to avoid it. Because it is the rule of their profession to identify the authenticity of people, but it does not involve bargaining.

The ingot of silver was considered real at the time, and the price had been set at 900,000, and it was inconvenient to change it at this time.

There is some controversy over the original price of this painting.

At this moment, Chen Zhen couldn't sit still, so he said: "Since it is genuine, the price at that time was a bit small, I think I have to add banknotes." ”
