"Okay, I promise you!"

Old Man Long agreed in one breath, and then asked, "Now you can let me see what kind of treasure is in this box, right?"

Xiao Ming smiled modestly.

"It's not a treasure, it's just a little old, I don't know if I can sell it for a price, and I ask Old Man Long to help me take a look." ”

As he spoke, he opened the delivery box.

As soon as Old Man Long saw the few pieces of waste paper filled inside, with Xiao Ming's handwriting on them, he immediately raised his eyebrows slightly.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xiao Ming push aside the outermost two pieces of paper, and the corner of the dark gray clay came into his eyes, which was still a little careless, but he sat up straight in an instant, sat upright, and even held his breath.

Seeing Xiao Ming casually pulling the waste paper covering it, he gasped in fright, and hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

The voice was eager and panicked.

Xiao Ming was so frightened by him that he stopped his movements, and saw that Old Man Long's eyes were staring at the exposed corner of the box, and his eyes were shining.

After a while, he realized that he looked a little excited, suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, and asked, "Little Brother Xiao, can you let me do it for you?"

Seeing his attitude change, Xiao Ming was not curious, nodded slightly, raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Old Man Long nodded gratefully, but instead of making a move, he called a middle-aged man with an expressionless face.

"Go get hot water and gloves ready. ”

The man nodded, and left again.

Xiao Ming didn't know why, Old Man Long apologized: "I'm sorry, according to the rules, these antiquities should be thoroughly cleaned on the spot, and it is best to open them in a sterile environment, but this time the time is urgent, I hope the little brother doesn't mind." ”

He said it solemnly, and at a glance, it was obvious that his attitude towards Xiao Ming had changed drastically.

When Xiao Ming heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the clay vase he brought over with the express box.

Is that really true?

He was shocked in his heart, but his face didn't understand the expression, and he nodded.

"It's out of the way, it's just convenient for you. ”

And Long Chengfei, who was sitting on the other side, saw the change in Old Man Long's attitude, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

Is that clay bottle real?

Soon, the butler brought the things up.

Old Man Long washed his hands, wiped them with a white cloth, and put on a brand new pair of gloves before carefully removing the layers of paper covering them, revealing the palm-sized clay vase.

The entire bottle was exposed, and his eyes widened slightly, and the bottom of his eyes flashed with excitement.

"More than 2,000 years BC, more than 4,000 years old, if such a treasure is unearthed, it is enough to be included in the National Museum, but even so, there are very few that have been handed down, most of them have been damaged, and this one in front of me is ......"

He carefully held it up and looked at it carefully, revealing every detail of the bottle.

After carefully observing it for a while, Old Man Long carefully put it down.

I looked at the delivery box, though I didn't want to put this treasure back in such a humble box.

But now that the deal has not been completed, he has no choice but to hold back and put it back very carefully, and then he sighs a long time.

"How? Xiao Ming asked.

Old Man Long nodded.

"It is indeed a product of the Tang Yao period, the workmanship is exquisite, several works in the heyday, the pattern on it is complete, and there are no cracks in the bottle body, just ......"

They frowned, a little puzzled: "I see that the bottle is smooth and delicate, it is made by someone who has been playing with it for a long time, and it has not left traces of being buried in the soil. ”

Xiao Ming listened to it and remembered that Chang'e was holding it and rubbing it in his hand.

When she lived in Guanghan Palace, she should have taken it out from time to time to play with it, right?

Old Man Long asked again, "How much does the little brother want to bid?"

Xiao Ming thought for a while, and did not say the previous estimate in his heart, but asked, "How much do you think this bottle can be auctioned?"

Old Man Long stroked his gray beard and thought for a long time before he spoke.

"A few months ago, there was a clay pot from the Tang Yao period that fetched a high price of 30 million at auction, and there was a crack on it, and this one is well preserved and the workmanship is more beautiful......"

"In this way, I will pay 40 million, and Little Brother Yang will sell this bottle to me, okay?"

Million!

Xiao Ming's heart was shocked.

Before he came, he only thought that it was a high price for this bottle to sell for millions, but he didn't expect it to reach 10 million!

His heart was extremely shocked, but his face became more and more calm, and he did not speak.

Old Man Long turned his head and glanced at Long Chengfei, and for a while he couldn't grasp what Xiao Ming was thinking.

After thinking about it, he changed his words and said: "Forty-five million, we will never reveal your identity and background, if you have another auction item in the future, Long Jia will also auction it at a high price, how about it?"

Xiao Ming thought about it, but still shook his head.

"Thirty million, plus one more condition. In the future, I have the right of first refusal to purchase all the auction items of the Long family. ”

"All?"

Old Man Long frowned slightly and asked rhetorically.

Xiao Ming nodded, but Old Man Long fell into deep thought.

Long Chengfei looked at Xiao Ming with a shocked expression, he didn't expect him to make this request.

Xiao Ming didn't know why the two of them were so surprised, he put forward this condition in order to deal well with the Long family.

Old Man Long gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Okay, deal!"

With that, he stood up and stretched out his hand.

"If there are other collections in the future, I hope you will be the first to be our auction house. ”

Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, held his hand and nodded.

"Of course. ”

Old Man Long said: "Due to the huge amount, the money will be remitted to your account in three days, and I will personally send someone to the door to retrieve this bottle at that time." ”

Xiao Ming looked back at the treasure in the express box, and knew that it was worth 30 million, so he had already given it a better box.

Now when I think of this price, I am worried that I will accidentally break it on the way back, so I said: "No, this bottle is placed here, I believe that Old Man Long will not regret it." ”

When Long Ao heard this, he looked at Xiao Ming's eyes with a little more appreciation, and nodded: "Okay! Little brother trusts me so much, I will definitely not let you down." ”

Xiao Ming greeted him for a while before finally leaving.

Long Chengfei sent him out, and when he returned to the living room, he saw Old Man Long holding the bottle and studying.

He frowned and said, "Grandpa, what do you think of Xiao Ming?"

Old Man Long raised his head, his eyes showed a little doubt, and he shook his head.

"I can't figure it out. ”

Long Chengfei was also puzzled in his heart, remembering the condition that Xiao Ming had just proposed.

Among all the auction items of the Long family, he has the right of first refusal.

If it were other conditions, it would be fine, but this one is really difficult to figure out.

Long's auction houses are all over the country, and Xiao Ming can take the auction items that everyone knows on the surface, and he won't blink an eye.

But there are some secret and special auction items...... It's different.

Could it be that Xiao Ming came for those auction items this time?

But as soon as he remembered that he couldn't even avoid the rockery just now, Long Chengfei was puzzled again.

"Does he have any real skills? Why can't he even avoid a stone, and he is so frightened that he stands still and doesn't move. ”

Old Man Long shook his head.

At this moment, several workers walked in from outside, with hesitation and confusion on their faces.

"What's wrong?"

Several workers looked at each other, full of doubts: "Master, young master, there is something wrong with that stone......

"Which stone?"

"It's the stone you just told us to test Xiao Ming, and there is something wrong with it......

Hearing this, Old Man Long raised his head.

"What's wrong?"

The worker's expression was complicated, and he couldn't explain clearly for a while, and said, "You better go over and see for yourself." ”

When Old Man Long heard this, he stood up and walked out.

The boulder that almost hit Xiao Ming just now has been moved down and placed horizontally on the ground, and the boulder more than two meters high is more than a thousand catties.

"Look, sir. The worker raised his hand and pointed.

Old Man Long and Long Chengfei turned their heads to look at them, their eyes wide open.

I saw that on that boulder, there was a deep palm print!
