Looking at the exquisite porcelain Liu Dong placed in the center of the table, Zhao Defa said with admiration in his tone.
Although, when he first started collecting, he kept picking at his eyes because of his poor eyesight. But after suffering a lot, his eyesight gradually improved. Therefore, when Liu Dong took out the things, Zhao Defa could still more or less learn from them.
Some traces of rare antiques can be seen on the snuff bottle.
"Little brother, can I survive?" Zhao Defa couldn't help but ask after seeing Hunter Xin.
"Of course, Mr. Zhao please!" Liu Dong said politely.
Zhao Defa knew the rules in the antique shop. So after getting Liu Dong's permission, he carefully picked up the snuff bottle from the table, put it in his hand and looked through it carefully.
As time went by, the joy on Zhao Defa's face became more and more intense. In addition, he knew the moral character of Mr. Li and Uncle Long very well, and he did not believe that they would let one of their juniors bring a fake thing.
Fool him.
"The stuff is good, little brother, can you give me a price?" After reading it, Zhao Defa did not put it down, but took it directly in his hand and asked. Just now, he already knew from Mr. Li's mouth that this snuff bottle was for sale, so
It doesn't seem out of the ordinary now.
"Why, aren't you afraid that this thing is fake?" At this time, Uncle Long's mood calmed down. He looked at Zhao Defa who was about to buy it and asked with a smile.
"Haha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I don't trust others, but I still trust Mr. Li and Uncle Long!"
Hearing this, Mr. Li smiled faintly and said: "This thing is called 'Bronze Body Painted Enamel Lotus Pond Picture Snuff Bottle'. It is something from the Kangxi Palace Manufacturing Office in the Qing Dynasty. It is an authentic royal system. The market price is three hundred
Around 10,000!" Of course, what Mr. Li said is the auction price. Generally, he does not meet people who really like to collect snuff bottles. In the auction market of two thousand years, fine snuff bottles cannot be sold for such a high price.
"Little brother, three and a half million! How about transferring it to me?" After listening to Mr. Li's words, Zhao Defa asked without hesitation.
The reason why he paid such a high price was actually more for the sake of Mr. Li and Uncle Long. Otherwise, not only would he not increase the price, he would even continue to lower the price severely to buy this fine snuff bottle.
After listening to what he said, Liu Dong, who originally hoped to sell this thing for a large sum of money, was not pretentious at all, so he readily agreed. He knew that today, if it were not for the sake of Mr. Li and Uncle Long,
, even if his snuff bottle is a high-quality product, I'm afraid it won't fetch such a sky-high price.
"Okay, as per Mr. Zhao, three and a half million!"
Hearing this, Zhao Defa's face showed joy, and he immediately continued to ask: "Little brother, do you have a bank card? I will immediately ask someone to transfer the money to you!"
Of course Liu Dong had a bank card, but in order to make it easier to send money to his family, he applied for a bank card from the Agricultural Bank of China. After giving the card number to Zhao Defa, he took out his mobile phone and made a call. In less than a minute,
After hanging up, he smiled and said: "Okay little brother, the money has been sent, you can call and check!"
"No, I believe in Mr. Zhao's character! This Kangxi snuff bottle officially belongs to you!"
After hearing what he said, Uncle Long sitting next to him couldn't help but reveal a playful smile. Among the people here, he was the only one who knew that Liu Dong didn't have a mobile phone on him at all, so he couldn't check it even if he wanted to, so he might as well
Be generous and leave a good impression on Zhao Defa.
"Haha, little brother is indeed a generous person! In this way, today we have officially met. Don't call me Mr. Zhao. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Zhao." Everyone likes to hear good things, and the same goes for Zhao Defa.
, coupled with Liu Dong’s relationship with Mr. Li and Uncle Long, Zhao Defa’s words seemed very close.
"Brother Zhao!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Although the two parties met for the first time today and were not familiar with each other, through the previous contact, Liu Dong found that Zhao Defa was quite a good person. Although he was worth hundreds of millions, he did not want to be arrogant and domineering like some self-made rich people.
, and his words and actions carry the unique boldness of northern men.
After Liu Dong came into contact with him for the first time, he couldn't help but feel close to him.
"Okay, haha, then I'll call you Xiaodong too!" Zhao Defa laughed.
"In that case, wouldn't we be at a great disadvantage? You've been with us for a lifetime!" Pointing at Zhao Defa, Mr. Li said with a rare joke.
"Haha, Lao Li, I think we should all go our separate ways! It will save us trouble then!"
After Zhao Defa heard this, he nodded and said with a smile, "Let's follow what Mr. Long said, let's discuss it ourselves!"
After everyone joked for a while, Zhao Defa raised his head and said to Liu Dong: "Xiaodong, in three days, you can come to my house with Mr. Li. Then I will be the host and treat you and Mr. Li to dinner together. Of course, if
I would welcome Uncle Long even more if he goes too!"
Looking at Zhao Defa's eager eyes, the old and mature Mr. Long naturally understood his inner plan, so he waved his hand and refused: "Forget it, I am a carpenter and carver, and I don't know anything.
Antique appraisal, so I won’t go! Let Xiaodong go! It will also open his eyes!”
After listening to what Uncle Long said, Zhao Defa couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment in his eyes. In fact, he still wanted to see if he could have more contact with Uncle Long to make him change his mind and continue to be Huatai Group's betting consultant.
, now it seems there is little hope.
By the time Liu Dong and the others came out of Mr. Li's Chenxiang Pavilion, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. However, because it was summer, the days were long and the nights were short, so at seven o'clock, although the sun had already set, the light outside was still bright.
"Uncle Long, Xiaodong, I have something to do when I return to the company, so I'll take a step forward!" Standing outside Chenxiang Pavilion, Zhao Defa said first.
This time, I originally wanted to invite Mr. Long to come out and represent Huatai Group to participate in the wood blocking conference to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 15th of next month. But now that Mr. Long is determined to wash his hands in a golden basin, Huatai Group must do it here.
In a little more than a month, we will look for a new wood-blocking master, not to mention someone who is comparable to Mr. Long, but at least a similar wood-blocking master.
To be honest, in this era where machine-made production is very popular and hand-made wood carvings and hand-made ancient furniture are increasingly declining, it is really difficult to find a good wood-blocking master. Therefore, what Zhao De found most wanted to do was to return to the company as soon as possible.
, and then summoned the leaders of various departments to give instructions on the search for a new stone gambling master. You must know that this is a major event related to the development of the Huatai Group. There is no need to be careless.
After listening to his words and looking at the hint of urgency in his eyes, Uncle Long also understood Zhao Defa's inner plan, so he nodded.
"Xiaodong, don't forget to come to my house with Mr. Li in three days. I will show you my collection then!"
"Well, Brother Zhao, I will go with Mr. Li in three days!" Liu Dong nodded and said.
After seeing Liu Dong's agreement, Zhao Defa turned around and said hello to Mr. Li who was standing at the door of Chenxiang Pavilion, then greeted the two bodyguards following him and left in a hurry.
Immediately, Liu Dong and Mr. Li made an appointment to meet in three days, and then left Chenxiang Pavilion with Uncle Long.
"Xiaodong, now you can be said to be a millionaire, so with this money, what are you going to do in the future?" Walking on the street, looking at the flow of people passing by, Uncle Long suddenly turned his head and asked.
Hearing Uncle Long's words, Liu Dong almost immediately spoke out his ideal that had been buried in his heart for many years without even thinking, "Uncle Long, I want to open a shop in the antique city and buy jade and wood myself.
Then carve them out and sell them. With the remaining money, I plan to buy a house in Quancheng and bring my parents and sister over from the countryside."
