Chapter 268: Dripping Water Avalokitesvara Takes the Lead
.., Qi Men Nong Bao
Gao Xiangyu was a little confused about what Qin Fen meant at first, but he immediately understood it and hurriedly got up and walked towards his study.
In the past few years of running the rough stone business, I have met many capable people, many of whom are master carvers, so I have a few handy things at home.
After a while, Gao Xiangyu walked out of the study quickly, holding a few things in his arms.
"Qin Fen, I used the original stones to exchange these with a few friends. You can help me control the eyes!"
While talking, Gao Xiangyu had already placed the three boxes on the coffee table.
Qin Fen glanced around, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
Although it is separated by a box, it is clearly surrounded by a trace of rich aura.
There is no need to guess what is inside, it is definitely a good treasure. The better the quality of the jadeite or jade, the more spiritual energy it will have.
The three things Gao Xiangyu took out should be considered top quality.
Without hesitation, Qin Fen opened a larger box and slowly took out the contents.
"Wow... this is the best type of glass, isn't it?!"
Wei Hao on the side couldn't help but sigh when he saw the white jade Guanyin.
"Haha, Wei Hao, you have a good sense. This jadeite is indeed the best type of glass. It was mined from my original stone three years ago. My friend bought it for a huge price and then gave me this jadeite.
Dripping Water Guanyin."
Qin Fen didn't speak first, but kept looking at the ornament. He saw that it was about 20 centimeters tall, oval-shaped, and the whole body was transparent white without any other colors. It was completely made of glass, and there was not even a trace of cotton wool on it.
No, there is definitely very little of this kind of water.
Looking at the carving again, Qin Fen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The lines on the face of the Dripping Water Guanyin were extremely clear, showing the skill of the master carver. Such fine carvings are enough to impress people.
The glass-grown jadeite with excellent water-breeding properties, coupled with the unique carving technique of the master sculptor, has added countless times to the commercial value of this ornament. Qin Fenxin secretly estimated the value of this dripping Guanyin.
, at least more than ten million.
If it were held at auction, it could even exceed 100 million.
"Qin Fen, how are you?!"
Gao Xiangyu on the side saw Qin Fen and remained silent. He thought there was something wrong with the jade, so he asked anxiously.
"Uncle Gao, this is indeed Laokeng glass. Regardless of whether it is grown in water, it is very rare in the market. Moreover, this carving is also made by a master."
Qin Fen raised his head and smiled at Gao Xiangyu.
Gao Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew Qin Fen's ability, and he could easily identify this thing, so he really wanted to hear Qin Fen's opinion at this moment.
"There is only one word that Dripping Water Guanyin pays attention to, and this thing is undoubtedly the best representative!"
"What word?!"
Several people were stunned at the same time, looking at Qin Fen with eagerness for knowledge.
Qin Fen glanced at a few people, then pointed at the jadeite dripping Guanyin and said seriously: "It's just the word 'qiao'!"
"pretty?!"
Everyone was stunned again.
"Yes, jadeite Guanyin ornaments have appeared in endlessly since ancient times. Although the carving of this dripping Guanyin is not the most complicated, if you want to carve it out beautifully, it will be like ascending to the sky." Qin Fen said seriously.
Several people's eyes fell on the water-dropping Guanyin, and sure enough they saw the emerald Guanyin. In fact, the carving was not too complicated, but it gave people a very playful feeling.
"It's really pretty."
Gao Xiangyu nodded in surprise.
"Qin Fen, I agree with what you said, but if you compare this carving with those hollows, it looks much simpler. How can it be difficult?!"
"I'm feeling it too!"
After Wei Hao said this, Gao Jian nodded, both of them having the same doubts.
"Haha, let's put it this way, although jade is an object, it has a spirit. You also know that how to carve a top-quality jade with spirit into life is the most difficult part of carving."
Several people looked at Qin Fen in confusion.
"You see, this is the best glass jadeite. In principle, it is already a rare treasure. And combined with its shape, it is oval, just like a drop of water. I think the sculptor combined these at that time, directly
I thought of the image of the Dripping Water Guanyin, and then added it with skillful techniques. Judging from the carving marks, it was done in one go, and it became a beautiful character."
"The originally quiet jade suddenly came alive. Not only did it have aura, but it also looked more lifelike. From a close look, it looked like a dripping Guanyin ornament. From a distance, it looked like a drop of water that was about to fall. This kind of effort is really impressive.
People admire it.”
Qin Fen finished speaking and took a sip of tea with a smile.
"Haha, Qin Fen, your title of chief treasure appraiser is definitely worthy of your name. I didn't realize that this pendant was so good before! Now that I heard you say it and take a second look, it is indeed a top-quality piece."
After hearing what Qin Fen said, Gao Xiangyu slapped his forehead, burst into laughter, and nodded towards Qin Fen.
Wei Hao and Gao Jian kept their eyes on the emerald dripping Guanyin.
"Actually, this chief treasure appraiser is just a false name given to me by Tianlu. After all, I am just the shopkeeper of an antique shop!"
Qin Fen explained helplessly.
"Haha, don't be modest. Your treasure appraisal skills have long been spread in the antique industry, and I heard something about you a few days ago."
Gao Xiangyu laughed and said to Qin Fen.
"What's going on?!" Qin Fen was a little curious.
Gao Xiangyu's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He was so excited that he actually said this, and then his face became embarrassed again.
Seeing Gao Xiangyu's expression, Qin Fen's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that Gao Xiangyu must be hiding something from him. He chuckled and said, "Uncle Gao, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. I, Qin Fen, am not that kind of person."
The fearful Lord!"
"Oh, no, you are overthinking it."
Gao Xiangyu hurriedly waved his hand.
Then he hesitated, his face suddenly became serious, and he continued: "Actually, you started in the antique street, and as your reputation spread, people in the streets and alleys of Dongchang may know the name Qin Fen."
"But...it is an indisputable fact that you are famous for your reputation. As rumors spread among people, people outside who don't know you think you are a unique talent. While they are envious, there will of course be some jealous criticism."
"Uncle Gao, if you put it like that, someone outside is starting to be jealous of me, or even hate me?!" Qin Fen asked with a smile.
Gao Xiangyu was silent again, then nodded and said: "I heard that you are in the antique street. Are you the president of some antique association?!"
"Well, this is true. It's all my colleagues in the Antique Street who think highly of me. However, they themselves created this Antiques Association. The Antique Street was controlled by Feng Er before, but after I took care of it, these people insisted on doing whatever they wanted me to do.
President, in order to reassure everyone, I can only agree."
Hearing Qin Fen's unreserved explanation, Gao Xiangyu couldn't help but nodded.
"Well, that's not wrong. You know that in Dongchang, the Antique Street is a mixed place. There are no associations. The only ones recognized in Dongchang are the Antiques Association and the Cultural Relics Association. Of course, there are also some other official organizations.
, so when you become the president of this antiques association, some people can’t stand it, saying that you are forming a clique for personal gain!”
"It seems that the people who said this must be some famous people in the Dongchang antique world?!"
Originally, Gao Xiangyu was worried that Qin Fen would be angry when he heard this, but now it seems that Qin Fen has a calm face, as if he doesn't care at all.
"It is true that they are some famous people, but to put it bluntly, they are just famous people, and their true abilities are unknown."
Qin Fen could tell that Gao Xiangyu deliberately added the second half of the sentence, and the meaning was very clear. Gao Xiangyu also looked down on these people, and they were in the same trench as him at the moment.
Qin Fen was not disgusted with this, after all, he also wanted to make friends with the Gao family.
"Haha, maybe some of my actions have touched the interests of some people, and there are many good people who deliberately spread some messy rumors, so this kind of thing happens. Of course, I also know that my colleagues are enemies.
Once someone else's interests and reputation are touched, they will inevitably be jealous."
Qin Fen said with a smile on his face.
"Well, I know, but I think you should be more careful, because some people's reputations are influential not only in Dongchang, but also in China! As for them, there are still many people who are indiscriminate
Believe it!"
Gao Xiangyu said worriedly.
"Thank you, Uncle Gao, for reminding me. I, Qin Fen, have never been afraid of such unfounded rumors. If they really have the ability, they can come to Zhengde Zhai to cause trouble for me. When the time comes, I will let them know who I, Qin Fen, am."
Are you really capable?"
Although Qin Fen spoke clearly, there was a slight chill in his tone.
This made the faces of several people present look a little more solemn.
"By the way, I heard that Master Tonggu Yuntong is sitting in Zhengdezhai?!" Gao Xiangyu lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking again.
"Haha, it seems that Uncle Gao is really well informed. Mr. Tong is indeed in my Zhengde Zhai. What's wrong?!"
Qin Fen asked with a smile again.
"Tong Guyun's reputation is well-known in China. Many people don't understand that Tong Guyun comes to Zhengdezhai to sit in the hall, and he is also disgusted by many people. The original name of Dongdong Xitong has now been disgraced.
Now, many people are pointing fingers at Tong Guyun, thinking that he forgot his identity for the sake of profit."
"I didn't expect Mr. Tong to bear such criticism. Mr. Tong never told me!"
When Qin Fen heard this, he felt really unhappy, but because he was in front of Gao Xiangyu, Qin Fen didn't get angry directly.
"And someone proposed that Tong Guyun should be expelled from the Cultural Heritage Association and the Cultural Heritage Appraisal Association." Gao Xiangyu said again.
