Chapter 15 The Value of Snuff Bottles
Zhang Haolong couldn't help but smile when he heard shopkeeper Wu sigh.
"You dare to bring any crap to Uncle Wu, and you really think of yourself as a treasure appraiser? I don't even bother to take a second look at the things you bought from the street stalls, let alone Uncle Wu!"
He finished speaking to the equation with contempt, then turned back to flatter Chao Xi.
"This beautiful woman actually knows nothing and is just a liar. If you don't understand anything, you can just ask me!"
Chao Xi rolled her eyes at him indifferently, not even bothering to say anything to him. She just leaned her body in the direction of the equation and expressed her attitude clearly.
"Equation, this thing...where did you get it?"
Wu Yong's tone makes people unable to hear the joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
"Just... at a stall east of the antique market!"
Equation hurriedly answered.
What Wu Yong said next shocked everyone.
"Oh, it's a pity that such a good-looking snuff bottle from the Qianlong period has not been well maintained. The nephrite... is all scratched!"
It turns out that Wu Yong sighed just now because he has always loved antiques. When he saw such a beautiful antique being harmed because it was not properly protected, he felt truly distressed.
"Uncle Wu, are you saying that this is really a snuff bottle from the Qianlong period?"
Fang Fang asked excitedly.
"That's right, look at the carvings on the surface of this snuff bottle. It's wonderful and lifelike. It should be something from the royal family or something from the palace! It's a pity that it's made of Hetian jade. Hetian jade is a famous nephrite, and its material is
Hetian jade objects generally need to be well maintained and preserved, because the material is relatively soft, and ordinary knocking, falling or scratching may cause damage to it! If this snuff bottle is perfectly preserved, the price can be sold for about 50
It’s between 600,000 and 600,000! It’s just that the surface is a little scratched now, so it would be great if it could sell for around 250,000!”
Wu Yong gave his own estimate.
"How much?"
Before Fang Fang could speak, Zhang Xiaotian asked excitedly.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand should be available for sale!"
Wu Yong repeated it again.
"Wow, Equation, you can do it! Where did you get such good luck?"
Zhang Xiaotian excitedly grabbed Eunuch's shoulders.
After hearing Shopkeeper Wu's quotation, Fang Fang was so happy that he couldn't help but smile! He had thought that this snuff bottle might be worth some money, but the price in his mind was only 18,000 yuan. He didn't expect such a gadget.
Wow, the price is so high!
Chao Xi also showed an expression of surprise in disbelief. Her eyes were fixed on Fang Fang's face that was about to burst into laughter, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart! She said she didn't know how to identify treasures, could it be that... he was really that simple?
"It's just over 200,000 yuan, but you are so happy? I have never seen this in the world..."
Zhang Haolong said sourly.
"Yes, more than two hundred thousand yuan may not be much to you, but to our family, it is already a lot! Besides, I only bought this snuff bottle from a stall outside for 1,500 yuan.
Now it’s worth 250,000 when it’s resold, I’m very satisfied!”
Fang Fang tilted his head and said to everyone indifferently.
"What? What you bought for 1,500 can be resold for 250,000? This guy must be very lucky!"
"Young man, do you have any tricks? Please teach them to us!"
"Your luck, tsk tsk tsk, is really amazing..."
The people around watching the excitement started chattering and discussing.
"Haha, not bad, not bad!"
Fang Fang didn't know what to say, so he scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile!
"Luck is also destiny. Destiny can be divided into two parts: destiny and luck! Fate is an innate factor and an unchangeable part, while luck is composed of many acquired factors! After three points of destiny, seven points
Luck, everyone's hobbies, and character are important conditions that will affect his fortune! If a person is honest, kind, cheerful, and positive, then his fortune will not be too bad. Then this little brother... maybe that's the case
An example! But on the contrary, even if a person has a good destiny, but is ungrateful and selfish, then a good hand will be badly beaten by him!"
Fourth Master Qi slowly spoke, and after saying the last sentence, he seemed to glance at Zhang Haolong not far away casually, and then he turned to Equation, who still looked excited.
"You call it Fang Fang, right? This snuff bottle... I'll give you 260,000, can you take it?"
"ah?"
After hearing Fourth Master Qi's words, Fang Fang didn't react for a moment and just stood there blankly.
"Fourth Master, you are blatantly trying to steal business from my mediocre house..."
Wu Yong joked with a smile.
"Oh, it's just a snuff bottle, just give it to me! I didn't get the blue and white porcelain today, so a small object can be regarded as compensation for my injured soul!"
Fourth Master Qi pretended to have pain in his chest.
Seeing Fourth Master Qi performing so hard, Wu Yong couldn't bear to tease his big brother anymore!
"Chengchengcheng, let me give you some spiritual compensation!"
Everything has been settled, there is no excitement here, and the crowd reluctantly disperses!
"Young man, you are good. Luck plays an extraordinary role in the antique industry! You are very lucky. If you read more books on weekdays and increase your knowledge of antiques, your future... may be very successful!
"
Fourth Master Qi transferred 260,000 yuan to Fang Fang's account and said to him.
"Yes, Fourth Master, I will definitely study more and read more when I go back!"
Obviously, Fang Fang is in a good mood, and he is the biggest winner today.
"Uncle Wu, Fourth Master, if there's nothing else, we'll leave first!"
"Okay! By the way, Fang Fang, there is also a small gathering of the industry in the mediocrity hall the day after tomorrow. Would you like to come and have a look and learn more by the way?"
After these two incidents, Wu Yong felt from the bottom of his heart that Fang Fang was a young man worthy of close friendship.
"Okay, okay, it's a rare invitation from Uncle Wu. I will definitely be there the day after tomorrow!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiaotian politely said goodbye to the two of them and left the mediocrity hall before the day was over!
"Uncle Wu, the small party the day after tomorrow...what are you taking him to do?"
Zhang Haolong looked reluctant because he was also attending the party the day after tomorrow.
"Okay, Haolong, you should go back and tell your grandpa this matter. As for who will come to the party the day after tomorrow, you don't have to worry!"
Seeing that Fourth Master Qi seemed to be still angry, Zhang Haolong did not dare to say anything more and left in a hurry!
"Oh, this grandson raised by Mr. Zhang...is so different!"
Chapter completed!
