Chapter 129 Chicken blood, stone mandarin duck pairing
Chapter 129: Soapstone and Mandarin Duck Pairing
Zhang Ying and Zheng Kaida are both from the Mingyang Antiques Association. They have heard about Zheng Kaida's preparations for establishing an auction company. They heard that the minimum investment in Zheng Kaida's auction company is 200 million, but Zhang Ying did not expect that Li Yang would also participate.
.
Two hundred million. Li Yang has already started to create a two hundred million big company with others. He is still here with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands a year. Thinking about it, Zhang Ying actually felt very uncomfortable. He once looked up at his face.
His subordinates are now looking down at him from above.
However, Li Yang had already surpassed him too far, and Zhang Ying's jealousy was no longer so strong.
Li Yang was quite surprised. He originally thought Zhang Ying would be angry or try to save him, but he didn't expect Zhang Ying to be so calm.
This is good, at least we can get together and part ways, otherwise Li Yang would really feel guilty.
Zhang Ying suddenly said to Li Yang: "Li Yang, I will truthfully convey your thoughts to the head office, but I still hope you can stay and work for one month!"
"That's no problem!" Li Yang agreed immediately.
The auction company will take three months at the fastest. Many things in the early stage did not require his intervention. It would be no problem to stay in the company for two months. Now he can help Zhang Ying as much as he can.
Zhang Ying is also very satisfied with Li Yang's attitude. Li Yang himself doesn't know how famous he is in the jade industry, but Zhang Ying knows very well that this month with Li Yang in charge will bring great benefits to the Mingyang An family.
Lots of benefits.
Li Yang suddenly heard a vibrating sound. Ever since his phone was set to vibrate, Li Yang had gotten used to it. At least he wouldn't disturb others when he received a call.
After saying hello to Zhang Ying, Li Yang answered the phone outside the office.
"Xiaoli, I'm at the company now. What, okay, I'll go right away!"
Li Yang hung up the phone in less than a minute. The call was from Wu Xiaoli. She said that her grandfather Liu Xuesong wanted to invite Li Yang to visit. Li Yang couldn't refuse the old man's invitation, but when he thought of going out again just after returning to work, Li Yang
Yang couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Li Yang was very embarrassed to tell Zhang Ying the reason for asking for leave, but Zhang Ying directly agreed to Li Yang's request for leave without any objection. Mr. Liu is the former president of Mingyang Antiques Association and a person whom Zhang Ying respects very much.
After leaving the house, he got in the car and drove towards the address Wu Xiaoli said. Li Yang's tail, Liu Gang, was always in the car. The bored Liu Gang was now following Li Yang every day.
Mr. Liu's home is in the family home of veteran cadres. It is a very ordinary two-story small building with a courtyard. It is far inferior to Li Yang and Mr. He's villa.
Wu Xiaoli's red music was parked at the door. Li Yang thought for a moment and walked directly to the door with Liu Gang carrying the fruits and nutritional supplements they bought on the road.
Before Li Yang knocked on the door, the door suddenly opened, and then Li Yang and Wu Xiaoli looked at each other in shock.
"I was just saying that I was going to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!"
Wu Xiaoli said something first, and then helped Li Yang weigh the things in. She was not polite at all to the gifts Li Yang bought.
“There’s no traffic jam on the road, so it’ll be faster!”
Li Yang smiled and took Liu Gang into the yard. There was a side room next to the yard, and facing the door was the living room. The layout was the same as that of many ordinary people's homes. Li Yang's home was like this. The difference was that Li Yang's home was a bungalow.
However, this small building is also a very old house, not much larger than the square meter of Li Yang's house.
"Xiao Li is here, come in and sit down!"
A hearty voice came from inside, and Li Yang recognized it immediately. It was Wu Xiaoli's grandfather Liu Xuesong.
"Hello, Mr. Liu!"
After entering the door, Li Yang looked at the living room carefully. The living room was large, but it looked very quiet. There were no luxurious things, but there were a lot of exquisite porcelain. Li Yang could see some of these porcelains.
, most of them are imitation porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. The price of each piece is not high, but it adds up to a large sum.
Liu Xuesong saw Li Yang, and then saw Liu Gang behind Li Yang. His body suddenly shook as he was sitting there, as if he couldn't believe it. Then a sudden smile appeared on his face, and he took a deep look at Li Yang.
"Xiao Li, you are young and promising. I heard that you will shine in Nanyang this time?"
Liu Xuesong smiled and greeted Li Yang and Liu Gang to sit down in front of a very simple Eight Immortals table. There was a tea set on the table. Liu Xuesong took out a teacup for Li Yang and poured him a cup of hot tea himself.
Li Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at the teapot in Liu Xuesong's hand. A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "As expected of Mr. Liu, the tea sets at home are all old objects. No wonder they are available all over the country.
Many people know you!"
"Haha, Xiao Li, you are very good at talking. No one in other places knows about me. But since you can see that this is an old set, can you tell me the origin of this tea set?"
Liu Xuesong laughed loudly and pointed to the gap on the table and asked Li Yang. Li Yang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Liu Xuesong to test him when he came to visit him for the first time.
After carefully looking at the tea set, Li Yang saw something, but he was not sure, so he simply activated his special ability to observe carefully.
This is a set of purple clay teapots, made of top-grade purple clay. There are two layers of light yellow halo on the surface of the pot, indicating that this thing is indeed an old object, with a history of 120 to 180 years.
.
The body of the pot is decorated with butterfly and chrysanthemum patterns, which are vivid and vivid, and the wings of the butterfly seem to be vibrating, which is very exquisite.
Li Yang carefully took the purple clay pot from Liu Xuesong's hand and looked down at the bottom of the pot. There were square characters on the bottom, which were the four ancient characters "Made by Huang Yulin".
Li Yang nodded, already having an idea in his mind, and said: "This purple clay teapot has an ancient charm and is naturally coated with pulp. It is an old object with a large door. If my guess is correct, it belongs to Master Huang Yulin in the late Qing Dynasty."
An exquisite work, a rare treasure!"
Liu Xuesong looked at Li Yang and nodded with a smile. Li Yang added: "It's a pity that these cups and this pot are not a set. If they were a set, the value would be higher!"
"Okay, well said, very good. No wonder Mr. He values you so much. It's hard to believe that you have only been exposed to antiques for a short time!"
Liu Xuesong yelled and sighed loudly. He just wanted to test Li Yang with this pot. Unexpectedly, Li Yang recognized the origin of the pot at a glance, and even saw that this tea set was not the original set.
It was really beyond Liu Xuesong's expectation.
"Mr. Liu, thank you very much. This is an old thing with a big door. If I couldn't see it, wouldn't it be a big disappointment to you?"
Li Yang shook his head and smiled, and was very happy in his heart. This time, he really saw it himself. He later used his special ability to verify it, but it was indeed discovered by his special ability that the cup and pot were not the same set.
"I never believed that there would be geniuses in the antique world. I always believed that practice makes perfect, and you can't develop it without some experience. Now I realize that I am ignorant. Not only are there geniuses in the antique world, but there are also people like you.
He is a super genius, no wonder he can even recognize the high imitation Zigang Jade!"
Liu Xuesong sighed again, took out an exquisite box from behind and placed it on the table.
"Xiaoli, come in too!"
Liu Xuesong shouted outside, and Wu Xiaoli, who had not entered the house until now, walked in with her head lowered and glanced at Li Yang secretly.
"I know that you two have a very good relationship. We adults can't make the final decision about your children, so we will just follow you!" Liu Xuesong opened the box as he spoke. Li Yang was already stunned there, and suddenly there was a bad feeling in his heart.
.
"This is the chicken-blood stone you gave me last time. It was too expensive and I couldn't take it. I was afraid that refusing would upset you, so I accepted it. Later, I privately decided to ask an old friend to give the chicken-blood stone to me.
It has been carved into a pair of mandarin duck accessories. Although the value has been reduced to a certain extent, the meaning is very different. Now I will return it to you, and you can keep it for yourselves!"
Mr. Liu spoke slowly. Li Yang lowered his head and saw that there was indeed a pair of chicken blood stone mandarin ducks in the box.
In addition to what Liu Xuesong said before, Li Yang immediately understood that Liu Xuesong had misunderstood him and Wu Xiaoli. It was okay for Liu Xuesong to misunderstand, but Wu Xiaoli did not come forward to explain. This was too abnormal.
"Mr. Liu, it's not what you think. Xiaoli and I are just good friends. What's more, the bloodstone was my birthday gift to you. You are really embarrassing me!"
Li Yang smiled bitterly, and Wu Xiaoli's face suddenly turned pale and she stared at Li Yang.
"Isn't that the case?" Liu Xuesong raised his head in surprise, looked at Wu Xiaoli, and then at Li Yang.
"It's really not what you think!" Li Yang said with a bitter smile.
"Yes, grandpa, we are just ordinary good friends. You are overthinking it!" Wu Xiaoli said suddenly, with a hint of disappointment on her face. Liu Xuesong glanced at Wu Xiaoli again in surprise.
"I'm old and can't stand it anymore. It turns out that I misunderstood you, but this bloodstone has been made into a mandarin duck match. Is this mandarin duck match suitable for an old man like me? It's better for you two to hold it first. As for what to do with it in the future,
Look at yourselves!"
Liu Xuesong suddenly shook his head and smiled, as if he had really misunderstood. Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Wu Xiaoli with some worry. He was relieved after seeing that there was nothing unusual about her.
"Thank you grandpa!"
Wu Xiaoli took one piece first, and Li Yang had no choice but to take the other piece. The carving of this mandarin duck was really good. It was obvious that Liu Xuesong's old friend was a very good carving master.
"Li Yang, I heard Xiaoli say that you want to open an auction company, is that true?" Liu Xuesong asked Li Yang again.
Li Yang put down his tea cup and nodded: "Yes, we opened it in partnership with others. Mr. Zheng from Keda Group is the chairman. Now he has started to make preliminary preparations!"
Liu Xuesong also nodded and said: "Xiao Zheng is a very good person. He is not as cunning as ordinary businessmen. There should be no problem for you to cooperate. The auction company has great market demand. It will definitely be a good business in the future. If you can catch it,
It’s a good opportunity to live here!”
Li Yanggang wanted to answer, but Liu Xuesong suddenly said: "Well, Xiaoli, although she is not old, she has studied with me for so many years, and she can still do rough work. If you don't dislike it, let Xiaoli do it in the future."
I’ll go to your place and if you agree, I’ll tell Xiao Zheng and he will probably agree!”
Li Yang stayed there immediately. He did not expect that Liu Xuesong would suddenly make such a request. It was neither a yes nor a refusal.
