Chapter Forty-Six: Imagination is Rich

This piece of ancient jade forged by Ye Yu was even shocked by Hou Chao.

Everyone in the Jade Department has passed the excitement period just now, but this will still be very surging, and only Ye Yu is more depressed.

Obviously he did it, but the copyright was robbed, the key is that he has no way to disclose all this, so he can only accept his fate.

Fortunately, it was an ancient man who had long since left who robbed him of the copyright, and he was also one of the most famous people in the jade carving world.

"Master Qin, are you sure that this is Lu Zigang's authentic handiwork?"

Hou Chao was also very excited, he couldn't help but be excited, Qin Jianguo and Zhao Min were all convinced that this piece of jade was carved by Lu Zigang himself, this is Lu Zigang.

A generation of grandmaster Lu Zigang, even if he is the boss of management, knows this person.

Until now, many jade carving families still have tablets and portraits of Lu Zigang, respected as the ancestor, and he is also a master with the same name as the carpenter master Lu Ban and the sword-casting master Ou Yezi.

"Sure, completely sure, all the characteristics of this jade are in line with the characteristics of jade in the Ming Dynasty, the pulp is pure, it is definitely a work of the Ming Dynasty, and in the entire Ming Dynasty, there can be such a carver, only Zigang alone!"

Qin Jianguo nodded heavily, he was a consultant to the company's full-time experts, and his words still had a certain degree of credibility.

Not to mention, the entire Jade Department said so.

Hou Chao suddenly thought of something, hurriedly turned around and looked at Ye Yu, his hot eyes didn't need to speak, Ye Yu also knew what he wanted to say.

"Possibly, I'm not sure anyway!"

Ye Yu gave an ambiguous answer, obviously it was his copyright, you gave it to Lu Zigang now, he admitted it, but let him admit that the copyright belongs to Lu Zigang, that would be too aggrieved, right?

Ye Yu's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Hou Chao's head.

Compared with Qin Jianguo, Hou Chao now believes in Ye Yu more, and the ten fakes that Ye Yu saw at the beginning are high imitations that make many experts eye-catching. After Ye Yu was promoted to the director of the business department, the part-time position of the director of the jade department was cancelled, but the position of the company's expert consultant has always been concurrent.

What's more, the previous performance of this ancient jade was a fake, and it was Ye Yuhui's discernment that prevented it from continuing to be dusty.

"Director Ye, I'm sure, I'm sure it's yes, Mr. Hou, otherwise, let's invite more experts to identify it together!"

Ye Yu was not sure, but Qin Jianguo and the others became excited, Hou Chao thought about it and agreed to Qin Jianguo's suggestion.

It is better to invite more experts to identify it, once it is really identified as Lu Zigang's work, this is an absolute treasure, which can attract countless people to come, and it can be used as a heavy weapon on the autumn auction at that time.

"Mr. Hou, don't worry, I suggest signing this treasure first, and signing the guarantee agreement!" Ye Yu reminded.

What was his purpose in making this jade? It wasn't to help the little girl and let her have a happy childhood, all of whom were here to discuss jade, ignoring the real owner of the jade.

"Yes, yes, I'm confused, sign, sign immediately, just sign the guarantee agreement!" Hou Chao immediately agreed.

"In addition to the guarantee agreement, we should give her an advance payment, she is in dire need of money at home now!" Ye Yu suggested again.

"Advance, yes, no problem, but how much advance is appropriate for her?"

Hou Chao looked at Ye Yu, this kind of jade that is suspected to be Lu Zigang's work, the most important thing at the moment is to sign the contract, as for the guarantee and advance payment, it is not a problem.

"One million, Ye Qing, can you see it?"

This time Ye Yu asked Ye Qing, although he made the things, but at this time Ye Qing was the real master.

Ye Qing's eyes flashed and he nodded quickly.

"One million, isn't it a bit much?" Hou Chao hesitated again, after all, it was not yet confirmed that it was Lu Zigang's work.

If it is determined that it is made by Lu Zigang himself, let alone one million, he dares to give an advance of three million, this is the celebrity effect.

"Mr. Hou, even if this is not Lu Zigang's work, isn't it worth a million just by relying on this carving?"

Ye Yu was a little unhappy, what do you mean, don't recognize his craftsmanship? After Ye Yu made this jade artifact, the lowest position he gave it was one million.

The jade material and his carving work alone are worth the price.

"Yes, yes, then give a million in advance, and I'll let the finance come over immediately!"

Hou Chao patted his head, he was too excited, the carving of this jade is wonderful, the best in the world, even if it is not from Lu Zigang, the whole jade is one million is also the foundation.

In this case, why don't you dare to give so much advance money, not to mention, it is still possible that this is a jade made by Lu Zigang himself.

Even if it's just that, it's worth the gamble.

The finance came, but the signing became a problem, Ye Qing was only ten years old, underage, and could not sign a contract with the company at all, and her parents had passed away, and her grandfather was her guardian.

Hou Chao personally took a carload of people to Ye Qing's house, signed an auction contract with Ye Qing's grandfather, and asked the finance department to make an advance payment of one million to his grandfather's card on the spot.

This matter was taken as a top priority by Hou Chao.

"Brother, thank you!" When leaving, Ye Qing suddenly stopped Ye Yu, only Ye Yu himself, and didn't even call Zhang Dongliang.

"No thanks, speaking of which, uncle should apologize to you, I was wrong last time, and I almost made you give up this piece of ancient jade!"

Ye Yu smiled slightly, the little girl's innocent smile made him feel that all the things he had done were worth it.

"Brother, you don't have to apologize, you don't need to apologize, I'll repay you when I grow up!"

Ye Qing shook his head and said something that made Ye Yu inexplicable, this kid, I call myself uncle, but you always call me brother, inferior.

And what does it mean not to apologize, to repay when you grow up?

Ye Yu left Ye Qing's house with these doubts, and Ye Qing's grandfather was already crying bitterly, pulling Zhang Dongliang's arm and crying for a long time before letting go.

Grandpa Ye Qing's treatment cost is at least 500,000 yuan, and now one million should be enough for them, besides, this is just an advance payment, and when it is really auctioned, the auction price will be deducted from the commission fee, and the rest will be given to them.

The Lida auction was on fire all of a sudden, and it was a fire.

Lida Auction received a suspected jade carving master Lu Zigang's own work among the people, and it quickly spread throughout the circle.

The Lida auction was lively all of a sudden, and people came every day.

Two days ago, they were only people from Shanghai, and then people from Beijing, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong all came, and even people from abroad came on purpose.

Including Chen Yuchi and Mao Yonghui, the two most famous jade carving representatives in the country, including the director of the Palace Museum, the president of the National Collection Association, the president of the National Jade Association, the president of the National Jade Carving Association and many other top experts unanimously identified that this Ming Pear Blossom Jade Dragon hook is indeed the authentic work of Lu Zigang.

It is not an exaggeration to even say that it is Lu Zigang's pinnacle work.

The experts compared the small number of genuine Zigang jade that currently existed, and found that the carving of this jade looked a little better than the other pieces, so it was considered to be the pinnacle work.

After it was confirmed, they also issued a joint appraisal certificate for this jade artifact, and after this appraisal certificate was displayed by the company, it was locked in the safe by Hou Chao.

For the sake of this treasure, Hou Chao increased security again, and publicly announced that this piece of Zigang jade will be the finale of this year's Lida autumn auction, and people who like this treasure are welcome to come to the auction.

“...... The convex yang pattern in this piece of jade, the hollow openwork, and the yin line carving are all in line with the characteristics of Zigang jade, so the joint identification is the authentic work of Lu Zigang!"

This is a sentence in the appraisal certificate issued by the experts, Ye Yu looked at it and pouted, obviously I did it, you forced Lu Zigang to make it, and you were all blind.

Well, it's a good sense of accomplishment to be able to make experts from all over the world look at it.

The matter of Zi Gang Yu has been in trouble for a week, and it has finally faded a little, but these days the company has been discussing this matter, and they are speculating what kind of sky-high price this real Zi Gang Yu can fetch for this real product?

Hou Chao personally set a starting price for this piece of Zigang jade, three million.

But everyone knows that the final transaction price is definitely more than three million, and three million does not reflect the true value of Zigangyu at all, and how much it can be auctioned can only depend on the day of the auction.

Because in the current market, there has never been an auction of genuine products made by Lu Zigang himself, and there is no reference price at all.

And in the company, there are people who congratulate Ye Yu every day, after all, this piece of Zigang jade can be discovered, it is all due to Ye Yu, otherwise it will be abandoned as a fake.

This piece of Zigang jade has also been calculated as Ye Yu's individual performance, which makes many people envious.

Many people say that now they understand why there is a layer of camouflage on this piece of jade, such a good jade, without such a camouflage, it is impossible to pass it on to the present.

Even Lu Zigang gave a lot of explanations as to why he didn't keep the money, and even Chen Yuchi said that Lu Zigang was forced by the palace back then, and it is possible that he liked this item very much after making it, so he didn't keep the money, and if he kept it, he might not be able to keep this jade.

Even if Lu Zigang doesn't keep the money, just looking at the carver can know that this work will only come from him.

There are also human brains that have made up a lot of storylines, who is eyeing this piece of Zigang jade, how much sacrifice the jade owner has made in order to protect this piece of jade, and finally it can be preserved under the cover of a fake.

Hearing these statements, Ye Yu really wanted to scold them: Save a fart.

Is this what it just made good? I can't recognize it, so I'm just speculating there. The reason why there is camouflage is only for Ye Qing, because what Ye Qing brought before was fake jade, so it will be like this.

What else is the disguise for protection, why don't you write a script and make a TV series?

The imagination is so rich.

Ye Yu listens to this in the company every day, but today he finally doesn't have to listen to it, he asked for leave again, this time the leave is a private matter, he promised Chen Yuchi to accompany him to a place, Chen Yuchi came to him.

"Master Chen, didn't you say that it would be a month later, why did you advance it?"

At the airport, Ye Yu and Chen Yuchi converged, and it was not only the two of them who went out this time, but also Chen Yuchi's three apprentices and an assistant, plus Ye Yu, a total of six people.

The air tickets were bought in advance by Chen Yuchi, and they were all first-class.

Ye Yu can only sigh, these top jade carvers are really rich, and they will have no money in the future, so it seems that it is not bad to change their careers to do jade carving.

"It's not because of the beard, it's true that it hasn't reached the original planned time, but the matter of the beard has caused a big sensation in our jade carving world, and people's hearts are a little scattered, so this event has been advanced!"

Chen Yuchi sighed, what the beard did had an impact far more than those fake jade.

Many people are a little upset when they see that they can make so much money when they see the fake beard, the jade carver is making money, but he is talking about top masters, such as Chen Yuchi.

But even Chen Yuchi can't make so much 500 million, since Chen Yuchi became famous, all the manual fees are counted together, and it is estimated that there is no 100 million.

If you are an ordinary master, you will earn two or three million a year, and if you are better, you will die of five million, which is because the income of jade carvers has increased significantly in recent years.

Jade carvers with better skills may be able to earn hundreds of thousands a year, but the jade carvers with the largest number and the lowest level may earn tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and the apprentices are even worse, and some can only manage food and clothing.

And the beard has made hundreds of millions in just ten years, and it is absolutely a lie to say that no one is red-eyed.

These people don't care about the fate of the beard, they only see the achievements of the beard, and they are red at the money.

In just ten days after the accident, it was found that there were people who studied fake jadeite in three places, one of whom was still a master, although it was not successful, but this phenomenon also made Chen Yuchi and his predecessors worried.

In this case, the originally scheduled event was advanced, and Ye Yu could only set off with Chen Yuchi in advance.
