Chapter 19: Examining Jade

The decoration style of Wupin Tang Howl in Yushi is the same as that of Kunshi, magnificent, it seems that the chain stores of such big brands are the same as the five wine howls, and the restaurants of this chain should be uniformly designed, and then submitted to the head office for review before they can be delivered for decoration, which is used to highlight the style of the chain. When Zhang Yu walked in with Xiang Qingxi and Yu Hongliang, because it was past the meal, he didn't queue up and quickly found the location of the box.

After sitting in the box, Xiang Qingxi introduced Zhang Yu and Yu Hongliang to each other, perhaps because of work, Zhang Yu will always have customers invite him to eat from time to time, and Wupin Soup is a well-known leading chain store in China.

Zhang Yu is also an old patron of this five-grade soup howl, so he came and went, and met Manager Zhou in Kunshi, and because the two of them lost their temper and looked at each other in everything and looked at each other, they became very good friends, Xiang Qingxi was asking Manager Zhou about jade, and the other party naturally thought of Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is a famous person in this area, and his vision is quite unique in his forties.

After the three of them sat down, Zhang Yu first opened his mouth and complimented, "Mr. Xiang, I heard Zhou Shun say, because of you, the turnover of Wupin Tang Howl in Kunshi has increased several times in a row, and now it has become the leading flagship store of the Wupin chain, Mr. Xiang is really powerful." "Zhang Yu is a scene person, and the identification of jade is like doing an essay, and after reading it, you must say a meridian unitary, so the compliments are also easy to come by, without any sense of disobedience.

"Where is it, Brother Zhang is lifting me, who doesn't know that this is completely Manager Zhou's management to make such a result, in fact, this has nothing to do with me, to Brother Zhang, the master of the jade appreciation industry, it is really admirable. Xiang Qingxi smiled and hugged Zhang Yu with a fist.

"Where, Mr. Xiang is really exalting me, haha. Zhang Yu hurriedly waved his hand.

"The name is deserved, the name is deserved. Xiang Qingxi also checked some of Zhang Yu's information on the Internet, and it was highly praised.

When Xiang Qingxi turned his head, he found Yu Hongliang sitting there in a daze, so he asked, "By the way, Brother Yu, why do you sell those things? The state should prohibit it, how did those gangsters know that you had this thing in your car?"

Yu Hongliang's eyes turned red when he heard this, and after picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea to stabilize his mood, he didn't mention the gangsters, but said, "Don't hide it from Brother Xiang, I'm also forced to do it." After speaking, he sighed heavily, and continued, "A few days ago, my wife was diagnosed with kidney failure, and now she is all living on dialysis, and she needs a lot of money. ”

He rubbed his face vigorously and continued, "If you need about 500,000 yuan for kidney replacement, I really can't come up with this money, so I ...... it" As he spoke, tears fell, and a penny could suffocate a hero, let alone 500,000.

"Isn't there insurance for my brother and sister?" Zhang Yu held the teacup and turned, perhaps it was a professional habit, so when the small objects came to him, he liked to turn around and check all sides of the objects, "If there is insurance, it won't cost much, but without insurance, it is really not easy to get such a large amount of money, to be honest." ”

"Alas, yes, I wouldn't have done this if I had insurance, I have been a soldier for so many years, and I still have the least discipline. I really can't help it. Yu Hongliang shook his head back and forth.

"Brother Yu, you don't have to worry about money, leave this matter to me, I have a way. Xiang Qingxi nodded at Yu Hongliang for comfort, then put his hand in his pocket, took out a jade bracelet, and handed it to Zhang Yu, "Brother Zhang, help me see what kind of color this is and how much it is worth." ”

Zhang Yu took out a napkin and spread it on the table, then put on his glasses and took the bracelet, gently put it on the napkin, then lowered his head to study it, and then picked it up and looked at the light carefully, and only after a while did he exclaim, "There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking, and the poem describes this kind of jade, he is Lantian jade, and it is the best Lantian jade!"

Zhang Yu clenched the jade bracelet, slowly put it on the napkin, and gently pushed it over, "The Lantian jade that flows out of the market now is no longer this kind of jade, and the jade on the market has long been smokeless." I really didn't expect that I would be able to see this kind of Lantian jade, a good thing, indeed a good thing. ”

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he glanced at the bracelet a few more times, raised his head and looked at Xiang Qingxi and said, "That is, the object is a little small, this should be worn by children, and the hands of adults can't reach in, if you want to auction it, at least about 20,000 yuan." It is an out-of-print good jade. ”

Zhang Yu's words made Xiang Qingxi's heart move, this is just a bracelet bought with fifteen taels of silver, if you go to the jade shop and spend a few hundred taels of silver to buy the jade object placed in the innermost, I don't know what price it can be sold for.

"Is it really a good jade? Brother Zhang, I'll go to the car and get another jade piece to show you in a while, it's much better than this." "Xiang Qingxi fell in love with a few jade objects in that jade shop, and the quality and shape were quite good.

"Oh, there's a better one, okay, I'm looking forward to it, to be honest, I've seen a lot of objects in recent years, and there are very few that can really catch the eye. Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, he has been in the jade world for more than 20 years, and he has seen a lot of good things, but in recent years, I don't know whether it is the reason for social impetuousness or the problem that the mine has been mined, good jadeite is rare.

That's it, talking and laughing, a meal has brought the three people closer a lot, although they haven't drunk, but men, as long as they lose their temper, they don't care about anything else, and they exchange mobile phone numbers with each other.

On the way to eat, Xiang Qingxi went to the bathroom, ran into the Shenzhu there, and after passing through the time and space gate, he quickly bought the best jadeite in the jade shop, and the shopkeeper was reluctant for a while, Xiang Qingxi didn't pay attention to these details, and quickly returned after buying.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you go to the car in a while, it's a bit messy here, what do you say?" Xiang Qingxi said to Zhang Yu after he came back.

"Okay, come, have a cup of tea, Brother Yu doesn't have to be too depressed, as the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, maybe you will find a way to solve it soon." After Xiang Qingxi went out, Zhang Yu kept comforting Yu Hongliang.

After being full, Xiang Qingxi remembered the vegetables prepared in the car, but now that he had finished eating, he didn't take them out for the kitchen to do, and the three of them went out of the restaurant, Xiang Qingxi walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, divided the vegetables into two parts, and handed them to Zhang Yu and Yu Hongliang.

"This dish is for you, promise no regrets. By the way, also, you take this bank card Brother Yu, the password is six change, if the money is not enough, you can tell me again. Take care of your sister-in-law, and when your sister-in-law is well, you can come to Kunshi to do it with me. Xiang Qingxi took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Yu Hongliang.

Seeing this, Yu Hongliang hurriedly excused himself, "No, no, where can I take your money." ”

"Don't shirk, this is borrowed from you, wait for you to come to me, work for me and then pay me back. After speaking, he forced the bank card into Yu Hongliang's hand, which Xiang Qingxi had earned in Wupin Tang in the past few months, about 800,000 yuan, all of which were handed over to Yu Hongliang.

Yu Hongliang saw that Xiang Qingxi had said so, and he didn't shirk it anymore, put away his bank card, and said goodbye to Xiang Qingxi and Zhang Yu with vegetables.

Zhang Yu was about to break up with Xiang Qingxi, Xiang Qingxi pulled Zhang Yu to the car, and took out a jade object from the trunk that he fished alone in the river for Zhang Yu to see. As soon as Xiang Qingxi took it out, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't leave anymore, staring straight at the jade object in Xiang Qingxi's hand, and then slowly took out the white gloves from his pocket, put on the glasses again, and carefully took the jade to observe carefully.

"Good thing, whether it is in terms of workmanship or this material, it is the first time I have seen such a large ice jadeite. Zhang Yu couldn't help admiring and touching, the intoxicated expression seemed to be touching his lover.

"I estimate that this material alone is at least more than three million, and I feel that this seems to be a thing in the palace, it should be a year, right? You had better find someone who knows antiques to see, if it is really from the palace, or there are years, then it is worth a lot, to say the least, it has to start at 10 million, it is really a good thing." Zhang Yu, who had been obsessed for a while, finally came back to his senses.

As soon as Xiang Qingxi heard Zhang Yu say this, his mind immediately became active, and he asked, "Brother Zhang, you have been doing jade appraisal for so many years, do you know anyone from the auction house?"

Zhang Yu patted his head and said, "Oh, just pay attention to this treasure, I forgot about this stubble, of course I know it, after all, I have done jade identification for so many years." Think about it, who are you looking for, yes, the largest auction house in Jade City is the organizer of my country's treasure appreciation TV program. We can take this thing there and have it appraised, and if you want to sell it after appraisal, you can enter it directly into the auction sequence. ”

"Yes, then can we go over now?" Xiang Qingxi heard that there was a door, and after getting a positive answer, the two drove to the auction house, and after Zhang Yu made a few phone calls on the way, they had been playing solo fishing in the river.

The car soon arrived at the auction house, and there were already people waiting for the two of them in front of the auction house.

After some introduction, Xiang Qingxi learned that this person was Vice President Ding in charge of the auction house, Vice President Ding seemed to be very familiar with Zhang Yu, and after greetings, the three of them went straight to the hall.

Just after lunch, the auction hall has not yet started the auction, but the hall has already sat a lot of people, the three of them did not stay, through the hall, see a small room at the back, some of these small rooms are some appraiser's studio, and some are the staff's lounge, because Zhang Yu had greeted Vice President Ding before coming, Vice President Ding had already arranged, so the three of them went straight to the studio of a senior appraiser in the auction house.

The door of the studio was open, and there was an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, sitting on the sofa with glasses and reading the newspaper, and when he looked up, he saw the three people coming in, and instead of speaking, he put down the newspaper in his hand, got up and walked to the back of the workbench and sat down, put on his white gloves and said, "What is it?" ”

Xiang Qingxi took out the Jiangzhong Duyu from his bag and put it on the workbench, and said, "Please identify the vintage." I want to auction!"

"Fishing alone in the middle of the river! The old man took out his magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. "Huh? The old man looked at it for a while and looked up, "Where did this thing come from?"

"Is there anything wrong?" Xiang Qingxi hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, you don't have to be nervous, it just feels very strange, this carving technique has long been lost, and only in the palace will there be this kind of object, no matter from the shape and technique, I can conclude that this is during the Song Dynasty in our country, but ......" The old man paused, and kept fiddling with the jade piece in his hand.

"It's as old and new as it was carved a few months ago. This made me a little confused, but it was the first time I had seen something so interesting. The old man said with a puzzled face.

When Xiang Qingxi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, this old man is so powerful. The thing he took out of the divine bead is indeed very new, and the shopkeeper of the jade shop also said that it was not long after it was made, and this item is indeed from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the old man saw it in both aspects, it is really a god.

Zhang Yu is very authoritative in terms of materials, but he doesn't understand the old and the new very well, so he only listens to the sidelines, and doesn't talk, listening to the old man's words, only nodding from time to time there.

Manager Ding led the two in, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Master Dong, you are always an expert in this area, so what do you say is the origin of this object?"

The old man, known as Master Dong, pinched his chin and said, "The Southern Song Dynasty must have been, but the object should have been polished and polished, maybe it was too dirty and old when it was unearthed, and it was handled by novices." I can only define and explain it this way, and the recommended starting price is eight million. ”

This Master Dong is an antique idiot, has a very strong psychology in his personality, has a strong desire for rare things, and is extremely fair, so most of the people on the market recognize what he breaks.

"This little brother, you should be the owner of this object, I am willing to give 11 million, you can sell this thing to me, of course, you can also take it out for auction, if nothing else, at most it will be about 12 million. Excluding the handling fee, you can get more than 10 million, I think this price is already the limit, how about it, think about it?" Master Dong looked at Xiang Qingxi, his eyes were calm, but his heart was like waves.

Xiang Qingxi thought for a while, this kind of material can't be said how much or how much it needs in the new world, as long as the silver is out, you can still buy a lot, thinking of this, he directly clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Dong Lao, then you can transfer 10 million to me, and the extra money will be transferred to Mr. Ding and Brother Zhang, no matter how you say it, you can't let the two of them run for nothing." ”

Old man Dong looked at Xiang Qingxi in surprise, for those of them who play antiques, money is sometimes a number, but one million is by no means a small number, this face is just a young man about twenty years old, and he was really taken aback by throwing out a million easily.

Because in his eyes, Xiang Qingxi is not a rich man, if he has money, it is impossible to sell things, if he needs money because he has encountered difficulties, how can he throw out millions without blinking his eyes, this guy is like this jade object, full of contradictions, so strange.

In this way, after the money and goods were handed over, Xiang Qingxi sent Zhang Yu back to the jade identification center and drove back to Kunshi.
