...Sun Yujun and his party of four plus Liu Dong sat down on the sofa in the living room. After Zhang Ma brought the tea, Liu Dong said: "President Sun, what brought you all to me today! It's not a special trip.
Come and see me?"
"Haha, you are one of the directors of our Quancheng Jade Association, and you are also the honorary president! It's time for us to come and see you!" After saying that, looking at Liu Dong's unmoved look, Sun Yujun knew what was happening in front of him.
It's okay to deceive others with words, but if you want to deceive the thoughtful Liu Dong, you will have to ask for trouble! After more than half a year of contact, Sun Yujun has a very clear understanding of the temper, personality and skills of the young man in front of him.
!
"Forget it, Liu Dong, I won't play tricks on you anymore! You must also know that this year's Myanmar Grand Prix is coming in more than three months. I wonder what your plans are?"
"Plan? What other plans can I have? Of course I can't miss it! You know, my rose jewelry is still waiting for the jade material to be put into the pot!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"That's good!...We came here today just to invite you to be the stone betting master of our Quancheng Jade Association. Then we will participate in the Myanmar Grand Auction in March!"
At this time, Sun Yujun finally revealed the true purpose of coming here!
Liu Dong is known as the "Jade King of the North" in the current stone gambling world. Although because of his young age, his prestige is not as high as that of the other two Jade Kings, but his ability to gamble on stones is also very impressive.
It’s admiration!
Since they have such generous resources, the members of the Quancheng Jade Association are naturally unwilling to give up! If they can find a jade king like Liu Dong to help them, it will be a business that is sure to make a profit!
"Master Stone Gambler?" Liu Dong smiled knowingly!
In fact, Liu Dong had roughly guessed the purpose of these people coming to him from the very beginning. Now it turned out that it was indeed the case!
However, Liu Dong is not opposed to this request! Because, as he controls Qiangwei Jewelry, he also has to hang out in the jade circle, and it is impossible to offend everyone!
Moreover, in every Burmese public market, he could not afford hundreds of thousands of gambling stones by himself. If he shared it with these people, it would also bring them closer to each other!
You must know that all the people who can be absorbed into the Jade Association, except for the outstanding stone gambling masters, most of them are jewelers, stone gambling merchants, and even middlemen. They are all rich guys! Befriend them, not only
It can greatly expand your network of relationships and make these people owe you favors, which will be of great benefit to the development of Taiyi Pavilion and Chenxiang Pavilion! Moreover, after the Dongchao Group's auction house is opened in the future, these people will be
Potential customers.
But despite this, Liu Dong cannot easily agree to the other party and get the benefits he deserves. He doesn't want to lose at all! After all, Liu Dong still has the big glutton of rebuilding the Old Summer Palace in the future, waiting for him to throw money into it!
Seeing that Liu Dong had no reaction. After several people sitting on the sofa looked at each other, a middle-aged man in his forties with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle look said: "If President Liu has any specific requirements,
If so, you can make it specific and we will do our best to satisfy you!”
"Yes, Liu Dong, just tell me if you have any requests. We also understand the rules in the industry!"
After listening to Sun Yujun's words, Liu Dong nodded, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said directly: "Since everyone has talked about this, if I don't agree, it will appear that I am too unkind...!"
Hearing this, Sun Yujun and others showed joy on their faces!
"...But the rules of the Stone Gambling Shop cannot be broken here, otherwise I, Liu Dong, will become the public enemy of the world!"
"Of course! Of course!" Several people nodded.
There is no rule without rules. No matter which industry has its own rules, in the stone gambling industry, according to the reputation and status of the stone gambling master, you will receive certain benefits for helping people look at the gambling stones!
Some of these benefits are a fixed amount of money, and some are the stakes that will be paid out after unlocking the stones you bet on! Of course, those who dare to take the stakes are all stone gambling masters who have deep confidence in their own strength!
"Since you all agreed, it's no problem! According to the rules of the industry, as long as you are willing to share half of the profits after unlocking the gambling stone with me!"
After Liu Dong finished speaking, the expressions on the four people's faces suddenly changed. Although in the stone gambling industry, the 'Emerald King' level stone gambling masters gambled for others and took half of the profits, but Liu Dong was also the Jade King.
, but in the end they don’t have enough background and their reputation is not as good as the other two, so they are not willing to pay half of the profits!
Looking at their expressions, Liu Dong naturally guessed roughly what they were thinking. He smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, everyone, since I asked for 50%, I naturally have the confidence to ask for 50%! This time in Myanmar
It’s a big deal, I guarantee that everyone will make a profit and not lose any money!”
"What if we lose money?" asked a middle-aged man in a black suit.
"If you pay, I won't take any money from you!"
"Even if you don't take a penny, then we haven't lost money!" The middle-aged man was obviously quite dissatisfied with Liu Dong's asking price just now!
After looking at him, Liu Dong smiled lightly and said, "Everyone, this is a matter of mutual consent between us. If you don't trust me, you can find someone else!"
Liu Dong's words made the middle-aged man in black speechless. Indeed, they took the initiative to come to the door this time, not Liu Dong begging them!
"Mr. Liu, can you really guarantee a guaranteed profit without losing any money?" said the gentle middle-aged man who first asked the question.
"Haha, since gambling on stone has the word "gamble" on it, there will naturally be gains and losses. However, I will do my best to reduce your losses, and I also believe that I can do this! Otherwise, you will lose money today.
I won’t sit here anymore!” Liu Dong laughed.
Hearing this, several people exchanged glances, and finally Sun Yujun said: "Okay, Liu Dong! We all know your conditions. When I go back, I will inform other people in the meeting. If they are willing to accept your conditions,
, I will sort out the list and give it to you before going to Myanmar!"
"Okay, no problem!" Liu Dong nodded.
After they finished talking about business and chatted for a while, Sun Yujun took the three of them and left!
…
After seeing them off, Liu Dong went to the study room on the second floor. After closing the door, he took out the two large packages of bronzes he had just unexpectedly obtained!
In addition to the three beast-faced jue and a bronze horn that Liu Dong had seen earlier that had been placed in the mustard space, Liu Dong also found seven bronze jue of the same style and nine bronze horns from two canvas luggage bags.
There are exactly ten pairs of horns in total, and what is even more rare is that among the ten bronze horns, three are covered, and the same patterns are exquisite, which makes Liu Dong very excited. You must know that there are more than 3,000 bronzes in King Zhuang of Chu
There is no such complete bronze horn in China.
What's more, these bronzes are not from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Judging from the purple color of the relics, they belong to the mid-Shang Dynasty! Nearly a thousand years earlier than the era of King Zhuang of Chu!
He took out the three bronze jue and bronze horns from the Mustard Seed space again and put them together with the rest. Then he picked them up one by one and admired them before Liu Dong put them away with satisfaction.
"This thing is good!" After experiencing the baptism of more than 3,000 exquisite bronzes from the tomb of King Chuzhuang, Liu Dong's appreciation of bronzes has undoubtedly improved several levels. Those who can be praised by him are obviously at the level of exquisiteness.
Got it!
This is indeed the case. What he is holding in his hand at this moment is a large bronze vessel that is fifty centimeters high, nearly forty-five centimeters in diameter, and weighs about fifty kilograms!
The mouth of the vessel is extravagant, the diameter is over the shoulder, the neck is high, and the lower part is contracted, taking the shape of a large trumpet. The shoulders are slightly bulging, folded downward to become the belly, and converge in an arc to form a round bottom, with a circle foot, and a cross hollow on the top. The shoulder of the vessel is
The body is decorated with two curved chilong patterns, and the round carved dragon head sticks out from the shoulders, which is vivid; the belly is decorated with cloud and thunder patterns as the ground, and the circle foot is decorated with gluttonous patterns.
The entire bronze ware has exquisite craftsmanship and concise patterns and lines. It can be said to be the finest bronze ware of the Shang Dynasty.
What’s even more rare is that this Double Dragon Zun from the early Shang Dynasty also has a 122-word inscription inside! Then its value does not need to be explained too much! It is undoubtedly a national treasure!
After playing with it for more than ten minutes, Liu Dong put this precious Double Dragon Zun into the mustard space.
Next, the second largest vessel is one with a height of 25 cm, a diameter of 16 cm, a foot diameter of 17 cm, and a weight of 7 kg. It is square, with a bulging belly, a curved ruler circle foot, animal patterns on both sides, a gluttonous pattern on the bottom foot, and rolled shoulders.
Cloud-patterned ox-headed beanie.
The 牉 is an ancient wine container of the Han people. It is a vessel used by the ancients to mix wine and water. The water is used to adjust the intensity of the wine.
In addition to this bronze tablet, there are five bronze cups, two bronze goblets, and two bronze goblets. Unfortunately, although these nine bronze vessels are well preserved, their decorations are simple, and there are no gorgeous reliefs or round sculptures! They are just incised.
Several groups of Taotie patterns, Chilong patterns or cloud and thunder patterns can only be regarded as second-level cultural relics!
However, bronzes from the early Shang Dynasty are rare and can be considered precious!
Looking at the two big bags that had already been collected, Liu Dong always had an unfinished feeling in his heart. There were too few things! As soon as his addiction was hooked, it was over!
"Forget it, don't be too greedy! These gains are already very good!" Liu Dong comforted himself in his heart.
Compared with the banquet of bronzes in the tomb of King Chuzhuang, these more than 20 pieces of bronzes from the early Shang Dynasty can only be regarded as desserts. No wonder he felt unsatisfied!
After putting away the remaining canvas bag, Liu Dong had just been painting in the studio for a while when Feng Jianhui called!
"Hey, Director Liu! I have already contacted Chairman Cao of Jiahua!"
"What did he say?" Liu Dong asked quickly.
"He agreed to your request, but the time is tomorrow night!"
"Okay, I understand! Ask Lin Ling to contact the other party, and I will treat him to dinner at the Sofitel Hotel at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening!"
"I understand, Director Liu!"
