While talking, Bi Dapeng took out a red square box about ten centimeters long, wide and high.
Qi Sihai said curiously: "I've wanted to see it since just now, but he said that he won't take it outside unless Boss Lai comes. Boss Lai, I'm really convinced by him. I really don't know what kind of treasure it is. Let's
He cares so much."
Lai Wen touched his chin and smiled. The two of them said this just to make him feel that this thing was valuable.
Xu Yun was also curious and wanted to know what was inside the box.
Bi Dapeng slowly opened the red box, and the treasure inside finally stood out.
It is a jade figurine head, eight or nine centimeters high and about four or five centimeters wide. The jade quality is green and white. The head is complete, smooth and round, with eyes leveled, solemn and dignified. It wears a cap, and the hair is pulled up and braided.
There is a small hole in the convex part of the crown of the hair cloth, which is used to insert hairpins. The hair, eyebrows and beards are carved with negative lines.
From the appearance of the jade figurine's head, Lai Wen could guess that this figurine was a dancing and music figurine wearing a square mountain crown.
"Did you see it? It's a round sculpture. The jade figurine wears a crown on its head. It has regular facial features, clear eyebrows, sparse beard, long eyes, straight nose, slightly open mouth, large ears, finely carved hair on the back of the head, and a broken stubble at the lower end of the neck. The crown
There is a hole on the top for inserting a hairpin, and the whole body is polished and bright!" Bi Dapeng boasted to himself.
Qi Sihai also cheered from the side: "Oh, it's amazing, this thing is a treasure."
"Yes, it is indeed a treasure." Lai Wen also nodded.
"Boss Lai, would you like to estimate the price of this treasure?" Qi Sihai smiled.
Lai Wen shook his head: "It's hard to say this. If it's valuable, it's very valuable. Haha, I won't say the rest. This jade figurine head of the Han Dynasty should have been unearthed in the Weiling Mausoleum of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty.
One of the jade carvings?"
Bi Dapeng gave a thumbs up: "Boss Lai has great vision."
"It is recorded in the Han Dynasty that Emperor Xuan was lucky enough to be east of the river, where he gathered phoenixes and obtained the jade treasure, which led to the Wanshou Palace." Lai Wen said: "The large number of jade articles in the tomb shows that Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty continued his father's good deeds and still followed a large number of laws after his death.
The custom of burying jade.”
"Yes, it is true."
Only then did Lai Wen get to the topic: "It is said that things are more valuable when they are rare. Once there are too many of them, the value is greatly reduced."
Bi Dapeng was startled, and Qi Sihai was also stunned. It turned out that Lai Wen had gone around so many times just to lower the price.
"Boss Lai, this is not uncommon, this is Han jade." Qi Sihai said: "In my opinion, this is really a treasure."
"In my opinion, it's a treasure, but it's not rare." Lai Wen said, "If I bid, it won't be higher than this amount."
Saying that, Lai Wen stretched out two fingers.
"Twenty million?" Bi Dapeng was startled.
Lai Wen laughed loudly: "Boss Bi, you are really good at joking. Such a small jade figurine head costs 20 million? Then this antique business is too profitable."
Bi Dapeng's face darkened.
Qi Sihai probed: "Boss Lai doesn't mean two million, right?"
"That's right. Two million." Lai Wen said: "Because its head is complete and smooth, it is worth this price. If it has some bumps and bumps, it will be really difficult to sell it."
"Boss Lai, this is a bit of a joke. I am such a rare piece of Chinese jade figurine head! Are you going to give me this price?" Bi Dapeng was obviously not very happy.
Lai Wen waved his hand: "Boss Bi, please don't say that. I can't afford this amount. I just said that the most I can get is this price."
Now Bi Dapeng's face became even more ugly.
"Boss Lai, if you are joking, it is a bit too much." Qi Sihai laughed: "This is really not common."
Lai Wen was very calm: "If it is common, it is worth at most 200,000. It is because it is rare that I say it can sell for 2 million."
"Lai Wen, do you know how much I paid for this thing?" Bi Dapeng was a little embarrassed, "I spent nearly five million to collect it, and you tell me it's only worth two million?"
"That can't be helped." Lai Wen said, "I can't lie to you. If I lie to you, and you sell it and you can't get the price, how do you want me to explain it to you?"
Bi Dapeng slapped the table in anger: "That damn woman in Zhongyue! She's as cunning as her grandfather!"
"When doing business with the Zhong family, you have to be careful." Lai Wen said: "Brother, just admit it, I really can't help you sell this thing for five million.
.”
Bi Dapeng lost millions at this time, so of course he was unwilling to do so: "Boss Lai, we are old friends, so please help me."
"It's not that I don't help, it's just that I'm powerless." Lai Wen said, "If it doesn't work, you can go to Zhong's house to return it."
"Can they spit out the fat they have earned in their mouths?" Qi Sihai said: "Don't be ridiculous, this is simply impossible."
"You also know it's impossible, so why don't you come to me?" Lai Wen said.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Bi Dapeng and Qi Sihai knew that they had lost money, so they came to him to find a solution. However, they did not expect that they had lost so much, and they were so shocked when they heard this today.
"Boss Lai, you can't just watch me lose millions right now." Bi Dapeng was also troubled: "You are familiar with people in the Zhong family, can you say hello to me?"
Lai Wen shook his head helplessly: "This is really difficult."
"Okay, today we will tell you the truth." Qi Sihai said: "Today I asked Boss Lai to come for appraisal, just to make sure whether I was deceived. Now that I am sure, I hope Boss Lai can help."
"There are rules in this business, and you won't regret it if you get slapped." Lai Wen said: "It's not that I won't help you, but that I really can't help you."
"Boss Lai, you won't help with this little thing. The human relationship between us..." Bi Dapeng suddenly said.
Lai Wen was startled and shook his head helplessly: "Lao Bi, you are really making things difficult for me."
"I can't help it. Who made you familiar with people from the Zhong family?" Bi Dapeng said awkwardly: "I don't want to trouble you with this matter, but if I don't trouble you, I really can't find anyone else to trouble me."
Lai Wen smiled bitterly: "Things that were shot in September?"
"Yes." Bi Dapeng nodded.
"Boss Bi, I'm not telling you, you really need to be more careful in the future. Don't take it lightly just because the goods are beauties. You can't take it lightly under any circumstances. You haven't encountered eye-catching things once or twice. Why?
I don’t have a long memory.” Lai Wen was really helpless.
Bi Dapeng just kept nodding: "I know it's all my fault, Boss Lai, just help me. I feel guilty."
"I dare not tell you this, I will do my best." Lai Wen thought that he still owed Bi Dapeng a favor, so he had to agree to this matter: "You can keep the things here first, and I will find a way to contact you."
In September, let’s see if we can talk things out.”
Bi Dapeng nodded vigorously: "Yeah, yeah! Everything depends on the boss!"
"Come, let's have a drink." Qi Sihai picked up his glass upon seeing this: "Boss Lai is really kind and righteous."
Xu Yun has been listening and watching, these people are really interesting. They are so rich, but they still care about losing millions?
This is what people who play antiques have to care about. They don’t care if one loses millions, but what about two or three, or ten or eight?
If they lose a lot, they will naturally care about it, so they must care about this kind of thing. He can waste millions, but he will never tolerate losing hundreds of thousands.
Even though eye-piercing is normal in this circle, they still cannot accept it.
