Chapter 132: Jewels
Liang Hu walked into Ya Yu Xuan, since he fused the memories of his previous life, he had come to the Sanyang Street Antique Market many times in the past year and a half, but his favorite shop pΓΉ was still this Ya Yu Xuan. The layout here is very elegant, and the boss and palm eye are also the kind of introverted people, unlike some businesses as long as you enter the door immediately chase and intercept, gushing, eager to leave all the money you carry.
In the past, when Liang Hu came here, he was just looking for it between the Bogu frames outside, but today he went straight to the boss and palm eyes who were sitting together chatting for the first time, no matter how strong the merchant was, it was impossible for a million-level merchant to put the million-level jade in his hands, it must be collected in the inner room, although the jade displayed outside Yayuxuan was not bad, but it was not qualified to become the raw material of the seven-grade talisman.
"Boss, I want to buy a better piece of jade. Liang Hu said his purpose straightforwardly, and his current status as a field officer of the National Security Bureau no longer needs to be as secretive as before. After finishing speaking, Liang Hu thought about it and added: "It's best to be a rough stone, if it really doesn't work, the carved jade is also fine, and the price is around one million." β
"Oh?" The boss in his early forties and the palm of the old man glanced at each other, what Liang Hu said was a big business, which belonged to the kind of food that has been opened for three years at a time, the boss considered the sentence for a while, and replied: "The guests are good Yaxing, I really have so many treasures of the town store here, so please follow me in to enjoy it!"
Liang Hu followed the boss of Ya Yuxuan into the inner room, which was a room with an area of no more than ten square meters, except for a table and a few stools in the middle, there was only the heavy safe in the corner. The boss of Yayuxuan smiled apologetically at Liang Hu, closed the thick security door, and then opened the curtains to let the sunlight outside. Liang Hu understood the other party's intentions, after all, it was indispensable to guard against people, he sat at the table, waiting for the boss of Ya Yuxuan to open the safe, and brought out several plates covered with red silk from inside.
"Guests, please look at ......" The boss of Ya Yuxuan pointed to the first piece of jade and said: "This piece of Qicai stone pen holder is carved by Master Jin of Tianyun Province for three years, I won't say much about Master Jin's craftsmanship, the well-known jade carving master in China is absolutely guaranteed." Guest, do you see these lines on the pen holder like maple leaves? The so-called parking and love maple forest late, frost leaves red in February, not that I boast, this is definitely called ingenious, rare in a hundred years. β
Liang Hu nodded, although Qi Caishi's reputation is not as good as jadeite, but he can find such a lifelike picture in front of him, and then carefully carved and shaped by the master, it is indeed a fine product that complements each other, but the fire aura contained in Qi Caishi conflicts with Liang Hu's natal law, and it is useless for him to buy this fire jade, so he moved his eyes to the second jade.
Liang Hu carefully looked at the Buddha statue carved from Huqing stone, and it was fair to say that the carving of the Buddha statue was absolutely excellent, but this was not within Liang Hu's concern, he only looked at the quality of the jade itself. The reason why Huqing Stone is named after it is because its color is yellow and black, like the fur lines of a tiger. The texture of the Huqing stone in front of you is delicate, but unfortunately it contains a small amount of impurities, although the carving master skillfully handles it, and does not affect the value of the Buddha statue, but it does not meet the requirements of Liang Hu.
If Liang Hu only wanted to draw the Golden Light Talisman, then the Tiger Qing Stone in front of him was still suitable, but it was used to draw the "Flying Sword Talisman" used by the monks in the foundation building period, and this Tiger Qing Stone with impurities was definitely not suitable. The so-called "Flying Sword Talisman" is actually a more powerful golden light talisman, but after this talisman is activated, it is no longer just a golden light, but a pocket-sized golden short sword. Liang Hu has been practicing the art of controlling things since the middle of Qi refining, in order to be able to control the flight trajectory of this talisman, hoping that one day he can control the flying sword to shuttle up and down in the air at will, galloping vertically and horizontally, that is really called happiness and hatred, and that is the real immortal method.
Liang Hu crossed the level of the talisman, the success rate was originally very low, if the raw materials contained impurities, it would inevitably reduce the already pitiful success rate, Liang Hu didn't want to taste the feeling of falling short, so he had to start from the selection of raw materials to start strict requirements, so he shook his head regretfully. Ya Yuxuan's boss saw that Liang Hu didn't seem to be satisfied with the second jade he took out, so he simply skipped it and began to introduce the last pair of Dushan jade bracelets.
Dushan jade has a variety of colors, this pair of bracelets is made of white Dushan jade, Liang Hu liked it at a glance. The bracelet is ru-white, delicate in texture, with an oil-like luster, showing a translucent state, if placed in water, it will merge with it, making it difficult to distinguish the difference between water and jade, which is called permeable white in jade terminology.
Liang Hu picked up this pair of Dushan jade bracelets and stroked them a few times, and immediately recognized that its quality had reached the seventh grade, and there was no problem with the talisman used to draw the foundation building period, but it was a pity that Liang Hu's strength was not enough for the time being. However, Liang Hu didn't intend to miss such a good thing, he was definitely worthy of the title of wealth now, and said directly: "I want this! β
Coming out of Yayuxuan, Liang Hu's mood was quite comfortable, he had just spent 1.2 million to buy the pair of Dushan jade bracelets, this is because Dushan jade is not very popular in the current market, and its value is obviously much underestimated compared to jadeite. In addition, Liang Hu also got another news from the casual conversation with the boss, and he immediately walked towards the shop that was displaying lapis lazuli necklaces.
"Jewels?" Liang Hu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the plaque in the store, this kind of fame sounded very vulgar, and even made his expectations for the lapis lazuli necklace lower a few points, but fortunately, the eyesight of the owner of Yayuxuan was not discounted, and when Liang Hu saw the lapis lazuli necklace, his eyes were immediately attracted.
This is a necklace made of eighteen lapis lazuli carved out of beads, each bead is about the size of Liang Hu's thumb, it is rare that the color of each bead is quite uniform, the pure and thick sky blue is pleasing to the eye, Liang Hu carefully observed it through the counter glass, and failed to find any flaws and impurities, the quality is comparable to the previous Dushan jade, but he was a little surprised, so he beckoned the shopping guide who followed her to let her take out this necklace.
The shopping guide lady had a professional smile on her face, but there was a suspicious look in her eyes, Liang Hu was wearing a casual suit of only a few hundred yuan, and he didn't look like a rich man. Liang Hu guessed the other party's thoughts, he was not angry, after all, the price of this necklace is 2.88 million, and it is normal for others to have some concerns, there is no need to embarrass these workers, he took out his bank card and threw it on the counter and said: "Check it yourself!"
The shopping guide lady took the bank card to the cashier and turned around, and immediately walked back with a respectful expression, in 2005 with more than 6 million deposits is not a small amount, of course, the most important thing is that Liang Hu has proved that he has the ability to buy, how can the shopping guide miss be unaffordable to this kind of potential customers? Liang Hu waited until the shopping guide lady took out the necklace, and immediately grabbed it in his hand and stroked it carefully, and the gold aura that came out of the bead confirmed Liang Hu's previous conjecture, and sure enough, the gold jade of the seventh grade was inferior.
"I want this necklace!" Liang Hu was about to speak, but a rebellious voice came from the side, he raised his head and looked over, and saw a man in his twenties, wearing famous brands all over his body, pointing to the necklace in his hand and talking. The man saw Liang Hu looking at him, and said again: "My dad is worried about finding a gift for his birthday, I want this necklace, you can choose something else!"
Liang Hu ignored this guy, but said to the shopping guide: "2.88 million, right? β
"Hey, you can't understand people's words?" The man looked a little angry when he saw that Liang Hu was ignoring him, and said to the manager who was accompanying him in a displeased tone: "Your guests here are too bad......
The manager nodded and replied, "Zheshao, don't worry, I'll settle it." After finishing speaking, the manager came to Liang Hu in a few steps and whispered: "This handsome guy, let's take a step to speak." β
Liang Hu shook his head and rejected the offer, and he replied, "Not interested." β
The manager said with a smiling face: "This, handsome guy, Zhe Shao's father is the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, this ...... If you are not afraid of officials, you are afraid of management, you are considerate and considerate of our difficulties, let it go!"
If it was just an ordinary commodity, of course Liang Hu would not bother with these businessmen, as long as it did not affect himself, it would not hurt to be polite, but the quality of this string of lapis lazuli was quite good, which was exactly what Liang Hu wanted, how could he give it up because of someone else's words, so Liang Hu replied: "There is always a first come, first come, right?" Seeing that the manager was about to speak again, Liang Hu was slightly bored in his heart, so he spoke first: "The thing is in my hands, and I don't have no money, let's stop this matter." β
The manager saw that Liang Hu would not give an inch, the smile on his face slowly solidified, he would rather offend 100 big customers, than dare to offend the leaders of the industrial and commercial bureau who can manage his own heads, otherwise this business will not be able to be done in the future? So the manager snorted at the shopping guide next to him, and said: "How did you do it, didn't you sue sΓΉ that someone had already ordered this necklace, why did you still take it out?" Hurry up and take it back for me, we won't sell it, you can't grab it!"
The manager's last sentence was almost yelling at Liang Hu, in his opinion, Liang Hu refused to be accommodating with himself, why should he care about the face of this guest, looking at Liang Hu's dress, he didn't look like that kind of rich and noble person, even if he offended him, at most he was one less potential customer, but he could please the son of the leader of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in person, is there anything more cost-effective than this?
