Chapter 120: Fighting against the Jade Emperor with Chu and Han!
There is a saying in Qianmen: Overt shilling is not as good as covert shilling, and it is definitely not as good as accidental. The most important thing in cheating is the truth. The more real the cheating seems, the easier it is to succeed. Especially when the target of the deception is a shrewd person.
When you are a powerful person.
When Shuai Wu played the game, he only relied on a pair of sharp eyes to judge, and only invited rich people to enter the game. However, most of the people who could go to the antique market to find treasures had some wealth, so the bidding atmosphere on the scene was enthusiastic without the deliberate instigation of a few "regular customers"
Li Huqiu gradually stopped bidding actively, but secretly encouraged Zhang Yongbao, a person who had no idea about money, to actively participate in bidding.
A memorial of Dong Qichang was finally sold for 45,000, and it was bought by the regular customer as expected. When he took it back from the backstage, it inevitably attracted a lot of onlookers, and the fat middle-aged man held his chin and nodded, praising the genuine product. Zhang Yongbao
Seeing this, he screamed that it was a pity. Li Huqiu advised him to be calm and said that the good things are still behind. The Ru kiln plum vase that appeared next confirmed Li Huqiu's words and stimulated the desire of everyone present to buy.
.For some unknown reason, the 'Jade King' among the handsome five still remained motionless. He only quietly observed the appearances of all living beings in the courtyard with a pair of cloudy old eyes.
Ru kiln plum vase, Huang Tingjian's large painting, Xuande furnace, Yuan blue and white, each important item appeared on the market, and the price offered was also far lower than the market price. But the final transaction price was not low. People in the yard
Everyone was ignited with enthusiasm. Only then did Li Huqiu notice that among the people in the courtyard, there was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Among them, a middle-aged man with a rather cadre-like appearance was more like a high-roller. He had a lot of money and directly paid a price higher than the market price.
I bought Huang Tingjian's painting and the Yuan blue and white crested lamp from the official kiln.
Zhang Yongbao and Li Huqiu borrowed 60,000 yuan to buy the Xuande stove. They held it in their hands and looked at it from time to time with pride. Among the three great masters of Zhongnanhai, Dong Zhaofeng was delicious, Wu Dingguo liked fishing, and Zhang Yongbao only loved collecting. But this man's vision has always been
Not so good. Whenever he proudly takes things to the dealer around him for appraisal, the results often disappoint him. But this man doesn't care about being deceived, he only cares about the fun and the feeling of buying and selling things.
Today's unique auction made him very happy, especially with the support of Li Huqiu, he was even more proud of the Xuande furnace that this middle-aged fat man had confirmed to be authentic. Li Huqiu whispered to him, don't be in a hurry
Happily, the fun is still to come, and the real big thing is about to appear.
As authentic treasures that are rarely seen on the market were bought one after another, the expressions and language of the people in the courtyard became more and more rich. Some were regretful, some were angry that they did not bring enough money when they went out, and some were seduced by the middle-aged fat man.
There are people who are very upset after participating in the bidding and ultimately failing. In short, the atmosphere at the scene is becoming more and more real and believable. The expression of the 'Jade King' who had been calm before gradually became more alive. Suddenly he raised his voice and asked: "Do you have a decent person here?"
Jade?" The middle-aged fat man echoed in time: "Didn't you say that something important appears? Be more cheerful and bring it out as soon as possible to open everyone's eyes."
Shuai Wu walked onto the stage and seemed unmoved. He raised his fists and said loudly: "Although we are an underground store here, we still have rules. You have to eat food in one bite and sell things one by one. The rule is that I sell
You can buy whatever you want, there is no choice; anyone who disobeys this rule can leave now." This is another hard-to-get trick, pretending not to know the 'Jade King' to make him believe in this extraordinary event.
The auction was just a chance encounter, and there was absolutely no intention to target him. Shuai Wu didn't wait for the 'Jade King' to leave impatiently, and continued: "Just now, a gentleman asked us if we have any large pieces of jade on display today. To be honest, everyone
, we do have a fine piece of jade here, but we have no intention of putting it up for auction today. You are all collectors in the industry, so I should bring out the good things for you to enjoy. As everyone knows, today
This auction is more of an invitation than a chance encounter. I'm afraid you are probably unprepared. After all, the prices of these small items in front are not high, so what can you do? Our last piece of jade is too expensive, and you will also see it after seeing it.
Bai Jian, the asking price has already reached nine figures, so we plan to take this thing to Jiaxinzhai for auction."
The 'Jade King' is famous in the industry and always speaks the truth. Shuai Wu used local rules to stimulate him and turned around to leave. When he heard Shuai Wu mentioning that there was a nine-digit jade for sale, he immediately stopped and turned around.
In front of the stage, his cloudy eyes glowed with excitement and he asked: "What kind of gem is worth nine figures?"
The real name of the 'Jade King' is Nguyen Sheng Kui. From his teens to now in his fifties, he has been gambling with stones, breaking jade, carving and cutting jade, and has been dealing with jade all his life. He is very famous in the jade industry in Myanmar and even internationally.
His ability in photographing jade is rumored to be miraculous. At a jade expo in Myanmar last year, a rough stone he photographed sold for a sky-high price of 18 million pounds without cutting it. After it was cut open, it turned out to be far more valuable.
Ice jade at this price is now available. He also got another nickname because of it: Midas touch! This person is not a true collector. He only likes to collect gems and has no concern for the era, background, culture and other information reflected by gems.
He only cares about whether the quality of jade meets his desire. This person has given all his love to jade, and there is no other good. Because of jade, he becomes a demon, because of jade, he becomes a madman. Therefore, when I heard Shuai Wu mentioned that his friend’s treasure jade is worth nine figures,
He suddenly had no other thoughts in his mind, all he wanted to do was see what kind of gem it was.
Shuai Wuzao had done detailed work on Ruan Shengkui and knew that this person had business in Myanmar and China. In Myanmar he ran a jade processing factory. In China, his trade name was Pinyu Pavilion, and his stores were located in major cities in the country. This person
Although his family has never been on this list, but if you really want to compare it, I am afraid that most of the rich people on the list are not even as good as his relatives. Seeing that Ruan Shengkui is as addicted to jade as rumored.
Then he continued to play hard to get and said: "We can all decide whether it is worth it or not. Putting aside the historical value of this thing, I just say that this piece of jade itself is a priceless treasure. However, it is really not convenient for you to see it today.
The auction has to continue, and there is one last important item. We will close the stall after it is sold, so let’s forget about the jade."
Ruan Shengkui could see the contempt in Shuai Wu's words and expressions, and the last trace of caution in his heart had already been thrown out of the sky, and he said angrily: "Isn't your stuff the same wherever you sell it? It's just to sell more money, as long as
If the stuff is good, nine figures won’t be a problem.”
Shuai Wu moved his face, raised his hands and asked, "May I ask your name, sir?" Ruan Shengkui said proudly: "Ruan Shengkui!" Shuai Wu let out an ooh, pretending to be surprised, and shouted: "I didn't expect that the 'Jade King' has arrived. It's natural for you to want to see something.
No problem, but we still follow the rules and do it one by one. This last item really has something to do with jade." Ruan Shengkui is used to seeing others look surprised when they hear his name, Shuai Wu's reaction
Just in time, when he heard that the last item was related to jade, he casually asked: "What is it?" "Han Dynasty Canglong mica jar! If this item can be sold on the spot today, I will give that jade treasure
Take it out and ask this buyer to appreciate it." Then he said loudly: "The Han Dynasty Canglong mica jar is sixty-five centimeters high and twelve centimeters thick. It has eighteen cloud dragons carved all over the body. The carving is exquisite and the shape is complete.
It is flawless and has a long history. It is truly a royal treasure. The asking price is 20 million, and each bid is no less than 1 million."
"I'll pay 21 million!" Li Huqiu shouted loudly. Shuai Wu clasped his fists and asked: "I didn't expect that today's auction would be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. First, the Jade King came to visit, and then this wealthy friend actively supported me. I dare not
May I ask what your surname is?" The implication is to ask how Li Huqiu took over the business. It is intended to remind Li Huqiu that he has arranged enough childcare in advance. But he is worried that Li Huqiu is not big enough to cause trouble.
Ending. Li Huqiu asked: "Is the name of Yanjing Duobaolou big enough?" Shuai Wu said hurriedly: "I have admired the name for a long time, enough is enough. I never thought that I would meet two giants in the Tibetan world today."
The middle-aged fat man seemed to be anxious, and suddenly asked: "Lao Wu, let me ask you, the jade treasure you mentioned is the stone king of the Republic of China passed down from your family. It took Lin Fuzhi, the master carver of the Republic of China, thirty years to carve it.
Sixteen kilograms of money can be grown in Longsheng Laokeng to grow jade cabbage?" Shuai Wu cupped his fists and said, "No one is more wise than Meng Qiye, it is exactly that thing." Meng Qiye frowned and said, "Didn't you mention that thing last time?
Don't you want to sell it even if you are so poor?" Shuai Wu clasped his fists and sighed: "Today is not the right time for this occasion. You should give me a few hours and I will tell you the reason in detail after the sale is over." The middle-aged fat man showed an angry look on his face.
He walked away with a puff of sleeves and looked back before going out: "I'm waiting for you to give me an explanation!" The minor disturbance ended and the auction continued.
The fat man’s words are the highlight of this scam. Setting up an auction to get two shills to introduce the value of things is a common thing in the antique shop. If there is no such character, it will not look normal, so
The few words spoken by this middle-aged fat man named Meng Qiye will not only not expose the whole scam, but will also calm the hearts of the people present. After the conversation between the two, many people have revealed that they really don’t know.
Zhang Yongbao was one of them with the expected expression. Ruan Shengkui also listened to these conversations. When he heard the sentence "Sixteen kilograms of money, Longsheng Laokeng grows jade cabbage," he couldn't help but screamed in surprise,
But he was shouting in his heart: "Is that legend true? Master indeed once had such a treasure passed down to the world! Does handsome senior brother have any descendants who survived?"
Li Huqiu also secretly praised in his heart at this time! This middle-aged fat man is a master, but he said these words at this time, and the reaction of this middle-aged thin man known as the 'Jade King' was amazing.
Knowing that this guy has been firmly caught. Thinking of this, Li Huqiu laughed and said: "I never thought that I would have the opportunity to see the works that Master Lin Fuzhi has worked hard to carve all his life. It is really a blessing. Qian Long
It is full of green emeralds. Mining began in the 1990s. Due to its high price and rarity, random mining is serious. Nowadays, it is rare to see good quality. It is even rarer to see people growing water in the old pit. Just to take a look at the jadeite in the middle.
Your Majesty, this mica vat will be ordered today."
"I'll pay 25 million!" someone in the crowd shouted loudly. Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was the man who looked like a national cadre.
Li Huqiu said calmly: "Twenty-six million!"
Duobaolou in Beijing is a well-known large store in the antiques industry. Although it is not as popular in China as Rongbaozhai Jigu Pavilion, people familiar with its founder Jinchuan know that Duobaolou is known as the best collector of treasures.
There is nothing surprising about Li Huqiu’s bid under the banner of Duobaolou. Everyone was particularly curious about the middle-aged man, but they didn’t know what he did. Shuai Wu followed the usual practice and asked about this person.
Although the other party kept it secret, he took out a card and used money to prove that he was qualified to bid.
Thirty million! The middle-aged man followed closely behind and continued to bid.
"I'll pay 50 million!" the tall man behind Ruan Shengkui shouted in alarm. Li Huqiu didn't raise his eyelids and followed closely: "I'll pay 51 million!" Without relaxing or blindly increasing the price, Li Huqiu was very imposing.
He was not weak at all. The middle-aged man who looked like a cadre glared at Li Huqiu and Ruan Shengkui, gritted his teeth and said: "I will pay 52 million!"
Ruan Shengkui snorted, raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Huqiu and the middle-aged man. He stretched out a finger and made a slight gesture. The tall man behind him shouted: "One hundred million!" The middle-aged man suddenly collapsed like a defeated rooster.
When he came down, Li Huqiu kept his expression unchanged and followed closely. He still added one million. It seemed that he didn't take this huge sum of money seriously. In fact, the value of real estate and antiques in these years has not yet been reflected.
For Duobaolou, a large sum of money will still be a huge burden once the transaction is completed. Zhang Yongbao was stunned when he heard this. He stretched out his big hand and made two gestures, saying: "My dear, you are really rich. I am doing this job of blocking bullets."
My son only earns 5,000 yuan a month, which is already the highest salary in the system. How many years do you want to earn enough of your money?" Li Huqiu said with a smile: "Why don't you come and shout, and I can make a living.
Three hundred million, you can call it whatever you want within this number." Zhang Yongbao shouted, and sure enough, after the tall man finished calling out the price, he roared: three hundred million! After shouting, he laughed and said happily, and asked Li Huqiu if that was what he meant?
Li Huqiu said with a smile: "That's what I mean."
The tall man did not dare to continue shouting. He looked at Ruan Shengkui. The latter nodded slightly, sighed and said: "It's such a coincidence that it happened to be 300 million. Hehe, if this is a game, it is also a cycle of retribution and unfavorable laws. Three hundred million is just the right amount."
Three hundred million, I will pay you three hundred and one million to see if that thing really exists!"
ps: I went to work again yesterday. If there is any work on the well, I have to go to work. On Father's Day, the phone call from my son made me feel very depressed. I recommend the discontinuation of updates, which is really not what I want. I am sorry for the promise I made yesterday, and I will try my best to make up for it in the future. Updates
Only by updating can we be worthy of your love. Brother Qinglian is still alive and still working hard! Come on, old waist!
