"Qin...Boss Qin, are you really a student?" Arriving at the Beijing University campus, Nie Tianbao felt as if he had entered the Grand View Garden, looking around at something strange.
Nie Tianbao caught up with the unprecedented social changes right after he entered elementary school. Therefore, except for the two years when he took care of Xiaomi and waited for girls at the gate of the university, he had never been to a university campus.
"Didn't I tell you that I am Mr. Qi's disciple?"
Qin Feng laughed when he heard this and said: "I may study with Mr. Qi next year for a master's degree and a Ph.D., and I will have more time by then. If Boss Nie is in the capital, we will have more contacts."
"That's, that's necessary."
Nie Tianbao nodded repeatedly. After following Qin Feng into the school dormitory, the little knot in his heart that was still there had completely disappeared.
Think about it, how could college student Qin Feng be related to the liar Ma Zibian? No matter how wonderful the novel is, there won't be such a bloody plot, right?
"Boss Nie, please sit down and I'll get you a glass of water."
Qin Feng smiled and let Nie Tianbao sit on the chair next to the table. He went to the concierge downstairs to borrow a pot of boiling water, and threw a pack of cigarettes to the concierge.
"Boss Qin, that's amazing. You started doing business at such a young age?"
When Qin Feng left, Nie Tianbao looked through the books on the table, but he recognized most of the words in the books, but after putting the words together, Nie Tianbao stared blankly, unable to even complete a sentence.
Can't understand.
In 1998, people were not as worshiping money as later generations. A country bumpkin like Nie Tianbao would unconsciously feel inferior to others in front of educated people.
Therefore, although this dormitory was not as luxurious as a hotel room, it still aroused Nie Tianbao's awe, and his attitude towards Qin Feng became even more cautious and complimentary.
"Boss Nie, you don't have to be so polite. I'm still young. Just call me by my name."
Qin Feng smiled and poured a cup of tea for Nie Tianbao. He said: "The conditions in the school are relatively simple, but this tea is this year's new Longjing tea. I got it from Mr. Qi. Please try it, Boss Nie."
"Okay, instead of calling me Boss Qin, let's call him Brother Qin."
Although Nie Tianbao's character is very problematic, the society for so many years is not in vain. He immediately followed the stick and said: "Brother Qin, don't call me boss. If you respect Nie's words, just call me brother."
alright."
Qin Feng smiled and said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Then I will call you Brother Nie. Brother Nie, please drink tea!"
"Okay. Brother Nie came here in a hurry today. I will definitely give my brother a gift later!"
Nie Tianbao laughed heartily. After taking a sip of the tea, he praised it as a good tea. However, only he knew that except for buying tea leaves to give away, Nie Tianbao never drank tea.
"Brother Nie is so polite. Please wait a moment and I will bring you the jade set."
Although Qin Feng, who is worthy of the Nie Tianbao brothers and has goosebumps under his clothes, still needs to go on.
Qin Feng promised Fang Yazhi a deposit of 1 million for the goods today, plus the three years' rent to be paid to Fang Yazhi, a total of 17.8 million in cash was required.
However, Qin Feng and Xie Xuan only had three or four hundred thousand yuan in their hands combined, and including the investment funds of the people from Shen Nan, it was less than one and a half million yuan.
Not to mention that this amount of money is not enough to pay Fang Yazhi. Even if it is enough, Qin Feng will be penniless. What will he use to renovate the shop, spread the goods and recruit people to pay wages?
Originally, Qin Feng was thinking of finding a brother or four to expand his investment capital to meet his urgent needs, but he didn't expect that someone would send him a pillow just as he dozed off.
At this time, Nie Tianbao, in Qin Feng's eyes, was really like the timely rain Song Gongming in "Water Margin". Not to mention that he could solve the financial problem by calling him "big brother" a few times, he was even willing to let Qin Feng call him "big brother".
Qin Feng pulled out a password box from under his bed. After opening the box, Qin Feng took out a brocade box. This brocade box was about thirty centimeters long and twenty centimeters wide. It was wrapped in silk and satin.
After untying the silk and satin, Qin Feng placed the brocade box on the desk and opened it. Inside, there were neatly placed a row of jade objects the size of a thumb. The sunlight outside the window shone on the jade objects, reflecting a moist light.
Nie Tianbao is also a person who knows the goods. Before he looked at the jade, he checked the quantity first. There were exactly twelve jade objects in the brocade box. He couldn't help but blurt out: "This...is this the twelve zodiac jade?"
The twelve zodiac signs are the zodiac signs of people. Ancient people often made jade articles that fit their zodiac signs to wear. Therefore, ancient jades with the twelve zodiac signs are extremely common in contemporary times.
Nie Tianbao couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw that Qin Feng took out this set of gadgets.
Because of the large number of pieces handed down from generation to generation, the value of the twelve zodiac signs of ancient jade has greatly shrunk. Even if this is a complete set of twelve zodiac signs, the market value is probably around 300,000.
"Brother Nie, take a closer look. Are these the twelve zodiac signs?"
Qin Feng smiled and shook his head, and handed Nie Tianbao a magnifying glass. These jade objects were only the size of a finger. Under the reflection of the sun, it was difficult to see carefully.
"Isn't it just the twelve zodiac signs?"
Nie Tianbao held a horse-head jade object and said: "The twelve zodiac jade objects are very common. Many of them are unearthed in tombs. I once put together a set. If Brother Qin is interested, I will bring it to you next time.
Come to the capital."
There are two types of sources of ancient jade. One is ancient jade that has been passed down in an orderly manner, and the second is obtained from tomb robbers. Nie Tianbao was not a serious person in the first place, and he has often obtained objects from tomb robbers in recent years.
.
"Brother Nie, take a look and then talk."
Qin Feng smiled and said nothing, but insisted on putting the magnifying glass into Nie Tianbao's hand. If this guy couldn't figure out the clues, then Qin Feng wouldn't bother to talk nonsense with him. There is really no sense of achievement in deceiving a fool.
"Huh? What else is weird?"
Seeing Qin Feng's insistence, Nie Tianbao took a magnifying glass and looked at it. At this sight, his face suddenly lost its calmness, and the hand holding the jade article began to tremble.
Nie Tianbao almost put his eyes on the magnifying glass. After a long while, he gasped and put the jade object back into the brocade box, and asked in a trembling voice: "This...is this the jade object with the human zodiac head?"
"good eyesight!"
As soon as Nie Tianbao spoke, Qin Feng clapped his hands and said, "Brother Nie is indeed an old man in the jade industry. With his eyesight, ordinary people really can't tell!"
As the saying goes, a person can wear a thousand clothes, but a flatterer cannot wear it. After Qin Feng said these words, Nie Tianbao suddenly showed a proud look on his face and said: "Brother Qin, I have seen ceramic figurines with zodiac heads before, but this time
This is really the first time I’ve seen jade.”
"Huh? Brother Nie, do you also have ceramic figurines with human zodiac heads?"
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He originally thought that his set of ceramic figurines with human and zodiac heads was the only one in the country, but he never expected that Nie Tianbao had also seen it.
"Ahem..."
Nie Tianbao realized that he had made a mistake, coughed twice and said: "To be honest with brother Qin, that thing is a pottery figurine with a chicken head and a human body. I collected it from the countryside. It is too broken to repair, and it is still thrown in the basement of my house.
"
"Collected from the countryside? I'm afraid you bought it from a tomb robber, right?"
Seeing Nie Tianbao's appearance, Qin Feng didn't know the origin of the pottery figurines in his hands. However, Nie Tianbao only had one defective product, and Qin Feng felt relieved. The set of ceramic figurines in his hands was still unique.
The set of twelve zodiac jades in front of him now was carved by Qin Feng in imitation of the ceramic figurines he stole from the Tang tomb.
As for the raw materials used to carve this set of objects, they are also real ancient jade, which is the jade material left after the decomposition of a jade elephant inlaid with gold and silver that was taken out of the coffin.
As mentioned before, many of the jades that Qin Feng took out from the coffin had too much color on the surface, which caused considerable damage to the jades. This jade elephant is one of them. The originally gorgeous and precious jade elephant has changed after being unearthed.
It was beyond recognition.
Qin Feng once investigated and found that during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, many neighboring countries paid tribute. This jade elephant should be a tribute from other countries. It was only given to Na Ni by the emperor and became a burial object.
It was just that after being buried in the tomb for thousands of years, the bright color formed by the inlaid gold and silver made it difficult to repair the jade elephant, so Qin Feng broke it into twelve pieces and carved out this set of twelve zodiac human heads.
of jade.
After the carving was successful, Qin Feng spent a lot of effort to form a layer of patina on the outside.
With the original clear color of ancient jade and Qin Feng's exquisite craftsmanship, let alone Nie Tianbao, even Qi Gong here might not be able to tell that this set of jade is old jade and newly crafted.
"It's a good thing. It's naturally coated and the color is as clear as jade. This... this is a set of jade with a wide opening."
Nie Tianbao took a magnifying glass and looked at the jade set of human heads of the twelve zodiac signs one by one, and he was full of praise.
If it were just a jade article with the twelve zodiac signs, it would be really common, but if the zodiac head is a human body, it is an extremely rare object.
Antique shops originally value rare things, so Nie Tianbao believed that taking out the jade set would definitely cause controversy among the industry and academics.
And with the preciousness of this set of jade items, it is enough to play the role of a treasure in the store even after the Panjiayuan of Yazhi at the bottom of the plate.
Thinking of this, Nie Tianbao couldn't help but become hot in his heart. He looked up at Qin Feng and said, "Brother Qin, I wonder if you have any thoughts about taking action on this set of objects?"
"Take action? Brother Nie, stop joking..."
Qin Feng seemed to be afraid that Nie Tianbao would snatch the items away, so he closed the brocade box and said, "No jade of this kind has been found in the country. This is the only one. How can I take action?"
The key to this business is to play hard to get. The more he wants to sell, the less he can show it. Although Qin Feng is happy in his heart, he has a look on his face that he will fight to the death.
