Chapter 7 Jade

Soon, it was time to meet the jade expert, and Wang Zhi was still carrying his backpack, but the gold in it had been taken out and put into the safe at the second uncle's house.

Agreed to meet in a teahouse, the agreed time was nine o'clock in the morning, but at eight o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, the second uncle drove to the teahouse, the decoration was very elegant, Wang Zhi was still the first time to come to this kind of elegant place, quite uncomfortable, it seems that he is destined to be inseparable from the word literature and art in his life.

opened a private room, ordered a pot of Pu'er, which was not as delicious as iced green tea, and the uncle and nephew sat on the wooden chairs and waited.

It was not yet nine o'clock, about eight fifty o'clock, the second uncle's mobile phone rang, the person arrived, asked him in which room, the second uncle said the room number, and after a while, the three people came.

The first one was a middle-aged man, thinner than the second uncle, but his stomach was the same bulging, seeing him, the second uncle hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Lao Li, you are here." ”

Wang Zhi also stood up, and then he heard the second uncle say, "Wang Zhi, this is your Uncle Li, and the expert's business is thanks to his help in contacting him." Wang Zhi immediately understood and greeted, "Hello Uncle Li." ”

Glancing at Wang Zhi, the middle-aged man surnamed Li continued to talk to the second uncle: "Lao Wang, this is your nephew." ”

"Yes, yes, this kid turned something out of his old home, and bothered you, I'm really sorry not to go, I'll invite you to dinner another day."

After a few words of greeting with each other, the middle-aged man surnamed Li began to introduce the experts he brought, there are two experts, one old and one young, the old hair and beard are already a little gray, with a pair of eyes, and there is a bookish air on his body, at first glance, he is a very authoritative expert, the few are younger, they look only older than Wang Zhi, and they may be the students or assistants of the experts.

Let's introduce the old one first: "This is Hou Peiyunhou, a teacher from the Jade Association, and a visiting professor at Northeast University of Geosciences (apocryphal), who is very authoritative in jade identification. Then the introduction was less, just one sentence: "This is Zhao Qingyun, a student of Teacher Hou." ”

No matter what country or class they are in, people have great respect for people who are truly knowledgeable, and the second uncle and Wang Zhi immediately greeted each other: "Hello Teacher Hou, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

"Nothing trouble, it's my job." Hou Peiyun was neither domineering nor approachable, he was completely businesslike: "Take out the things!" ”

"Okay, please look at ......" Wang Zhi immediately took out the towel wrapped in two pieces of jade and spread it on the tea table.

Glancing at the two pieces of jade, Hou Peiyun instructed the young man on the side: "Qingyun, you take a look first!" ”

"Yes, Teacher."

In response, Zhao Qingyun immediately put a box on the ground, opened it, took out a pair of gloves from it and put it on, looked very professional, picked up two jade pendants one after another, first used a small flashlight to shine and shine, and then used a magnifying glass to look at it again, it took a long time to finish reading, and put the two jade pendants back in place.

"Done?" Hou Peiyun asked.

"I'm done."

"How does it feel?"

"It doesn't seem really." Zhao Qingyun said, the implication is that it is false.

Hearing this, Wang Zhi was not nervous, he believed that these two pieces of jade must be real, because he got these two pieces of jade from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there seemed to be no jade counterfeiting technology at that time!

Wang Zhi was not in a hurry, but the second uncle was nervous, and hurriedly said: "No, Mr. Hou, you should take a look for yourself!" ”

The second uncle personally weighed the gold brought by Wang Zhi and confirmed that it was real gold, so he was also very confident in these two jade pendants, because no one would put fake jade and real gold together, and the gold was still an ancient gold cake.

Hou Peiyun didn't answer the second uncle, and the second uncle continued to ask Zhao Qingyun, "Be careful." ”

"These two pieces of jade, both are jade, one is carved dragon pattern, the other is gluttonous pattern, both pieces of jade are not stained and pulped, the edges and corners are not smooth enough, the time will not be too long, but the carving is the style of the Han Dynasty, the material looks like mutton fat jade, but the carving is not fine enough and can even be regarded as rough, I think the person who carved this piece of jade is to make it more like ancient jade, so I think this should be a fake ancient jade that has not had time to be old."

Zhao Qingyun said a lot eloquently, but there is only one central idea, your piece of jade is a fake jade that has not yet been completed.

However, his teacher Hou Peiyun did not agree with his point of view, but asked: "The material doesn't look like mutton fat jade, so what is the material?" We are professional jade appraisal, not to identify antiques, the first thing is to look at the material, whether it is ancient jade or antique jade or other things, we identify a piece of jade, the first thing to look at is the authenticity of the material, the type, not to see how old it is, which piece of jade has not been buried in the ground for tens of thousands of years? ”

"Yes, yes." After being taught a lesson by the teacher, Zhao Qingyun's original self-satisfaction after completing the appraisal alone immediately disappeared, and he quickly picked up a small flashlight and found it on the two jade bibs, and occasionally took off his gloves and touched them with his hands.

The second uncle beside Wang Zhi looked at Zhao Qingyun's movements, his face was nervous, he already believed Zhao Qingyun's previous statement, because Wang Zhi told him that the jade was dug up, so he thought that Wang Zhi had dug up the fake jade that others had buried in the ground for old.

And Wang Zhi, the real owner of the two pieces of jade, was not worried at all, he was still drinking tea leisurely, and there was no nervousness on his face.

When the middle-aged man surnamed Li saw it, he immediately praised the second uncle: "Lao Wang, your nephew is much stronger than you, seeing how calm people are, don't panic when encountering problems, and there will definitely be a future in the future." ”

Hearing this, the second uncle sneered: "Accept your auspicious words." ”

And that Professor Hou, seeing that Wang Zhi was not nervous, also asked: "Young man, it seems that you are very confident in your own things!" ”

"It's not that I'm confident, but I'm not worried, these two pieces of jade are all turned out by me from my hometown, even if they are fake, they can be worth dozens of hundreds of yuan, and I don't lose anything." Wang Zhi said, not seeing a lie on his face.

"No, you didn't count my appraisal fee, I help people identify jade, and I charge five hundred at a time, if your jade is fake, it can't be sold for five hundred yuan, so you still have to lose money."

"But now it's not you, Mr. Hou, who will help me appraisal, but your apprentice, and he is not worth five hundred yuan." Wang Zhi immediately said, on the one hand, he sarcastically mocked Zhao Qingyun, and on the other hand, he also expressed his intention to let Hou Peiyun personally help with the identification.

"Don't worry, my apprentice hasn't graduated yet, and he can't open an appraisal certificate, this is just for him to try his hand, and I have to come in the end." After speaking, Hou Peiyun asked Zhao Qingyun, who was sweating profusely and holding a flashlight on the jade bi, "How do you look?" ”

Hearing the teacher's inquiry, Zhao Qingyun immediately put down the jade bi, and lost his previous confident appearance: "The material looks like mutton fat jade ......"

Hearing this, Hou Peiyun immediately became furious: "What is called like, yes is yes, no, no, this is not an antique, is it so difficult?" ”

After teaching the apprentice, Hou Peiyun immediately went to get a pair of gloves to put on, then took the small flashlight handed over by Zhao Qingyun, and shone it on the two pieces of jade.

After looking at it for about a minute, Hou Peiyun put down the flashlight and said, "The materials of the two pieces of jade are all fine Hetian mutton fat white jade. Then he turned to Zhao Qingyun on the side and scolded angrily: "The material of jade, the real is real, the fake is fake, how can there be so many doubts, you usually think too much, when you see his poor carving, you think it is fake jade, can't real jade be carved poorly?" ”

"Teacher Hou, is this jade really mutton fat white jade?" Without waiting for Wang Zhi and his second uncle to ask, the middle-aged man surnamed Li stood up.

"It's not fake, it's not fake, these two pieces are mutton fat white jade, but the carving is too poor, and it almost ruined these two pieces of jade, so they can only be sold as seeds." Hou Peiyun said.

"So how much can they be worth?" Wang Zhi asked, although this question is very vulgar, but it is what he is most concerned about.

Price, is the most direct embodiment of the value of a piece of jade, in this line of work for so many years, Hou Peiyun has become accustomed to this kind of problem, replied: "Your two pieces of jade pendant are Hetian mutton fat white jade, belonging to the high-end products in Hetian jade, the price has been high, in grams per yuan as a unit, the lowest is more than 3,000, the highest is more than 20,000, what is even more rare is that your two pieces of jade are flawless, exquisite, perfect as if they are fake, at least can be sold for 151 grams, and your two pieces of jade are about 300 grams." , you can go back and weigh it, it should be able to sell for about five million, and it may be higher at the auction house. ”

To be honest, when he heard that these two pieces of jade were worth five million, Wang Zhi's first feeling in his heart was not joy, but disappointment, because the gambling stone novels he had read before were casually millions or even hundreds of millions, and the two pieces together were only five million, far from meeting his expectations.

Therefore, this person is insatiable, and people who have never even touched 50,000 yuan before will now think that 5 million is less.

Different from Wang Zhi's sad and unhappy appearance, the second uncle can be regarded as happy, his full net worth has not exceeded 10 million, and five million is a huge amount of money for him, and he immediately took out a red envelope from his pocket and skillfully handed it to Hou Peiyun: "Trouble Teacher Hou." ”

"It's not a hassle, it's just work." After taking the red envelope very naturally, Hou Peiyun looked at Zhao Qingyun, he immediately understood, and took out a booklet, two seals and a camera from the box he brought, it seemed that he was going to write a certificate.

When Hou Peiyun filled in the certificate, Zhao Qingyun also took a picture of the two jade pendants with a camera, and took pictures of them in all directions.

Hou Peiyun very solemnly handed over the appraisal report to Wang Zhi - he knew who the owner of the jade bi was: "These two appraisal certificates were issued in the name of the Jade Association, and the appraiser was me, but because the Jade Association is a non-governmental organization, it has no legal effect, and it can only show the attitude of the Jade Association." ”

After speaking, he took out another business card and handed it to Wang Zhi: "This is my business card, if you want to sell these two pieces of jade, you can find me, but as an intermediary and guarantee, I need to charge two percent of the transaction price as a labor fee, which will be paid by the seller." ”

"I'll think about it." Wang Zhi took the business card seriously, if it weren't for the second uncle on the side, he might have entrusted him to help find a buyer now, after all, for him, the only use of jade is to exchange money, and it is not as good as a stone if he can't exchange money.

"Then you guys get busy first, I have to go see another friend." After speaking, Hou Peiyun and his apprentice packed up their things together, and then left.

After sending the two out of the door, the second uncle said: "Now the experts are also doing business." ”

"After all, experts are also human beings, and they also need to live, especially this kind of jade player, how can they afford to buy jade without making some money. However, Lao Wang, what are you going to do with these two pieces of jade and sell them? The middle-aged man surnamed Li asked, in his opinion, the jade pendant was found by Wang Zhi in his hometown, it is a family heirloom, and he is Wang Zhi's uncle, so the jade pendant naturally has his share.

"Wang Zhi, what do you think?" The jade belongs to Wang Zhi, so the second uncle wants to ask for his opinion.

"Wait and see, we're not short of money right now." Wang Zhi said, in fact, he wanted to sell the jade, but this needs to convince the second uncle, now that there are outsiders here, it is difficult to say a lot of things, so I will talk to him after I go back.

At this time, the middle-aged man surnamed Li also saw that the real owner of these two pieces of jade was Wang Zhi, Wang Mingkai did not want to get his nephew cheap, and glanced at Wang Mingkai in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, this matter does have to think about it, but Uncle Li, I know a big boss who likes jade, if you want to sell it, I can help introduce it." ”

"Okay, I'll trouble Uncle Li then." Someone helped introduce the seller and did not charge a handling fee, and Wang Zhi was naturally happy to accept it.

Next is the time for the second uncle and the middle-aged man surnamed Li, they are chatting about business while drinking tea, and Wang Zhi, who can't understand it at all, can't interject and is put aside.

At about ten o'clock, the second uncle and the middle-aged man surnamed Li ended chatting and agreed to invite him to dinner in the evening.

After the middle-aged man surnamed Li left, Wang Zhi and his second uncle also settled the bill and left the teahouse.
