Chapter 248: Blind Li Jiu
Jun Youyao took out the wooden hairpin in his hand from the box and put it in front of He Wenhao, "Tell me, where did this thing come from?" I want to know everything in detail, everything you know about this hairpin. ”
He Wenhao looked at the wooden hairpin in front of him, his face was full of surprise, he didn't expect their request to be so simple.
Could it be that there is any secret to this wooden hairpin?
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this wooden hairpin?" Thinking of the origin of this wooden hairpin, He Wenhao can't help but have some imagination, could it be that this wooden hairpin is related to the princess Lianci? Like the princess's tomb? Or even a royal treasure?
"Bump!" The sound of the cup hitting the glass coffee table came, pulling back He Wenhao's distant thoughts.
Gu Lihan looked at him firmly with a pair of breathtaking cold eyes, "No matter what you think, I advise you to get rid of those waste materials in your head." ”
He Wenhao was stared at by his cold eyes and trembled uncontrollably, and the hot fire that had just risen in his heart was like a basin of ice water poured on his head, all of which were extinguished.
At this time, he realized how outrageous he was wrong, this man named Ye Zhiqiu had been silent and followed Han Qiong like a shadow, he didn't talk much, he had almost no sense of existence, he thought that this was just an inconspicuous man, but at this time, the man in front of him was terrifying like a demon god, as if his eyes would disappear.
It's terrifying.
"I'm sorry." He was too busy apologizing and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Gu Lihan saw that his words had a deterrent effect, so he snorted coldly: "Say it." ”
He Wenhao nodded, swallowed his saliva and began to think back to the situation when he bought this wooden hairpin in the first place: "This is what I bought from a blind man a year ago. ”
The soil blind man is a relatively ancient jargon in the southwest of China, which means tomb robbers.
"The blind man is called Li Jiu, a Chinese who moved to Tibet with his ancestors, and he has a lot of influence in the local area, and is known as the Ninth Master. In recent years, the Li family has developed well in Tibetan areas, and is almost already the leader of this brother's industry. As far as I know, he has raised a group of blind people who specialize in digging tombs of certain ages in several nearby provinces, large and small, as long as they feel that they are valuable, they will not let go, so they have a lot of good goods in their hands. ”
Tomb robbery is a crime prohibited by Chinese law, but no matter how many prohibitions there are, it can't stop this windfall, so it has always been repeatedly prohibited.
If there are tomb robbers, there are tomb goods, but these things are usually not easy to deal with because of the improper source, so there are people like He Wenhao, who have their own connections and channels to sell and deal with these tomb goods.
“…… In fact, I don't have much contact with Jiuye, hehe, I'm not interested in cultural relics, even if I go to buy it, I buy jade and the like. He Wenhao said in a vain attempt to cover up what he had done.
Jun Youyao and Gu Lihan were expressionless, they knew very well who he was.
"This wooden hairpin is from the hand of the Ninth Master you said, so did he say which tomb it was dug up from?" Jun Youyao was not interested in his character.
He Wenhao: "Generally speaking, the address of the tomb robbery is a secret in their line, we only receive the goods regardless of where the goods come from, but he sometimes reveals a little bit in order to sell the goods, this wooden hairpin because it is wooden, although the carving is exquisite, but after all, it is only wood, and it is not easy to ship, so he told me that this is unearthed in the tomb of Princess Lianci, which is very collectible." ”
Jun Youyao asked again: "Then did he say where the tomb of Princess Lianci is?" Did anything else have been dug up from that tomb? ”
"Not really."
"Anything else?"
He Wenhao buried his head in thinking about it for a while, and said again after a while: "The ninth master seems to say that this tomb is very dangerous, many people died when he went to the tomb, but he didn't bring out a few things inside, and this tomb was not under him, it seems that his grandfather took people down the tomb many years ago, and his grandfather died there, and it is said that the tomb is very evil." ”
Hearing him say this, Jun Youyao became more and more sure that the tomb was very likely to be the tomb of Princess Lianci, and it was very likely that Zi Lianci came from there.
"Do you have a way to contact Li Jiu?"
He Wenhao nodded: "I have his address and contact number." "He and Li Jiu have a long-term relationship, and both sides can contact each other.
Jun Youyao didn't think about it for long, and said directly: "You prepare, and go to the Tibetan area with us tomorrow." ”
"To Tibet?" He Wenhao was slightly flustered, although he had somewhat guessed that these two people were interested in the tomb, but why did he have to go with him? He had no interest in the ghostly tombs.
"No, no, I don't have to, right? If you two are interested, I can tell you the contact information of the ninth master, or help you connect first. He said it sincerely, but it was clear that he was not in charge of the matter.
"Master He, do you think you have the right to choose?" Gu Lihan smiled even more ghostly, "Do your thing, and when you leave the Tibetan area, you will be free." ”
What else can He Wenhao say, he can only nod his head in resignation, and only hope that his old life can come back from Tibet alive.
After finishing the conversation with Ho Man Ho, they returned to the hostel.
"Youyou, do you want to go to the princess's tomb?"
After taking a bath and doing the sweet things that a couple should do, Gu Lihan hugged Jun Youyao and asked softly.
Jun Youyao was still a little unable to come back to his senses, and replied in a low voice, 'En', and it seemed to be a little sober after a while: "I have a strange feeling, I always think that we can find the truth about the New Year incident from this princess's tomb, but how to do it is still to wait until I see that Li Jiu, maybe he will know something." ”
Gu Lihan knew that she had always attached great importance to Zi Lianci's matter, so he didn't say anything to persuade him, even if he knew that this trip might be dangerous.
The next day, they contacted Lin Zhicheng first, and agreed on the price of those jadeites last night, plus He Wenhao's five yuan, a total of 300 million, Jun Youyao made a lot of money for nothing this time.
"There is a large-scale public market in Maine in the second half of the year, I wonder if Miss Han is interested in going to see it together? If you are interested, then all the trips between you and Mr. Ye will be taken care of by our best products. At the end of the transaction, Lin Zhicheng made an unexpected invitation.
The public auction is a kind of rough wool trading behavior generally recognized by the Chinese and foreign jade circles, that is, the excavated jade raw materials are displayed publicly, and the buyers bid on the basis of their own valuation judgment, and Maine, as the largest jadeite producer, is also the world's largest jadeite public market.
The annual jade auction attracts jade buyers and enthusiasts from all over the world, and it can be said to be a unique event.
Jun Youyao didn't expect Lin Zhicheng to invite herself to participate in the Jade Public Market, and it is not interesting to say that she is not interested at all, but in the second half of the year, she may not be able to squeeze out time to go to Maine, let alone that the time is not her own Gu Lihan at all.
She thought for a moment and replied, "Thank you Director Lin for your sincere invitation, but we may not have time to go out in the second half of the year." ”
Lin Zhicheng was not discouraged by her euphemistic refusal, and said with a smile: "Actually, we have taken a fancy to Miss Han's talent in gambling stones, and want to cooperate with you for a long time and hire you to be our honorary consultant of Fine Jewelry, what does Miss Han think?" ”
He is not a person of luck, Han Qiong's super high hit rate is absolutely impossible to be luck, she must have her own way to judge the quality of the wool, if the best product has her in charge, it will stand at the top of the industry unshakable.
Lin Zhicheng is a man of action, he trusts his instincts, so he contacted his father as soon as possible and proposed to him that Han Qiong should be his honorary advisor.
His father rarely questioned his decision, and after listening to him explain Han Qiong's ability, he agreed and gave him the greatest support.
"Honorary Advisor?" Jun Youyao was surprised, she didn't expect Lin Zhicheng to make such a play.
Lin Zhicheng's voice on the other end of the phone became more and more sincere, "You don't need to do anything, you just need to occasionally participate in some gambling stone fairs on behalf of our best products, and all the wool you buy will be paid for by the best products." ”
"What about the conditions?"
What Lin Zhicheng said seemed to be only good for her, and she didn't believe that Lin Zhicheng would do this kind of loss-making business.
"The condition is that if you open a jadeite jade, you must give priority to selling it to the best products."
This condition is basically not a condition for Jun Youyao, and she doesn't even have to take any risks.
However, Jun Youyao didn't plan to come down immediately, "Director Lin, I still need to think about this matter, I can't promise you right away, I have something to deal with during this time......
She paused and told him a time, "Well, I'll contact you on September 1st, and we'll talk about it then, okay?" ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for Miss Han's good news." It was a good thing for Lin Zhicheng that she didn't refuse right away, and it proved from the side that Han Qiong did have real skills, because if she was really pure and just lucky, it was unlikely that she would have this attitude.
He could tell that she was confident in herself, and she didn't think there was something wrong with the honorary advisor, but she was really busy.
hung up the call with Lin Zhicheng, and the man next to him immediately came over.
"Lin Zhicheng invited you to be the consultant of the best products?"
"Well, he's quite discerning."
"Hmph, I think he has ulterior motives." Gu Lihan always felt that Lin Zhicheng had other plans for Youyou, maybe he wanted to get close to her in the name of a consultant.
"You're not happy when people come to give me money." Seeing that he could hang two catties of pork with his mouth pouted, she knew that he was unhappy again.
Gu Lihan pursed his lips and snorted lightly: "We are not short of money, not rare." ”
"Actually, I've always wanted to set up a private charitable foundation, so the more money, the better." Jun Youyao did not mention the matter of the charity fund to him, because this was only a preliminary idea, and she did not plan to accept social donations, and all the sources of the foundation would be part of her personal and Junbao Group's net income.
Gambling on stones is indeed a low-risk, high-reward job for her, and if feasible, it will be of great help to the development of the foundation.
