Chapter 200 The Snuff Bottle
After lunch and sent Qian Yuanzheng away, Gu Qingcheng came.
She is now the boss of Gu's Jewelry, and she is very busy with all kinds of affairs. Being able to continue listening to the class is enough to show that she is quite obsessed with jade carving skills.
Xiao Xingyun is also such a person. If he is not particularly obsessed with a certain skill, he will never waste his time making money.
Wu Changyou is a master in the Chinese jade carving industry. He has conducted in-depth research on the four major schools of jade carving, integrated the strengths of the four schools, and carried forward them to create his own unique "Wu" style.
He worked as a professor in the Department of Archaeology of the Imperial Capital University and taught countless students throughout his life, but he has not taught jade carving skills more than one person.
Recently, he had just figured out the new skills of combining open and secret sculpture, so he couldn't help calling his two favorite disciples over and teach them.
I was afraid of accidents in my body, so I didn't have time to teach them.
After learning for three days in a row, Gu Qingcheng felt that he had learned this little trick, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left, busy opening a new store.
Xiao Xingyun is a newcomer to the jade carving world and needs to learn too much. It was not until the seventh day that he received a call from Li Wenhua that he escaped from the learning atmosphere.
"Mr. Xiao, I have confirmed with that elder again. The other party has also asked someone to conduct preliminary review. Each company needs to prepare at least 20 million yuan in cash. The remaining insufficient part can be used for transfer transactions." Li Wenhua said on the phone.
.
"At least 20 million in cash, although it's troublesome, it's not impossible to prepare. But for the sake of safety, wouldn't it be safer to use virtual currency transactions?"
"I can just prepare whatever the other party asks for it, and I can't say much about their request. After all, these old people can no longer accept new things like virtual coins."
"I understand, when will you set out? What else do you need to prepare besides cash?"
"There are about seven or eight days left. Then we will go there together and we will not need to prepare anything except cash. After the transaction is completed, you can hire a small truck locally to transport the things back. I am familiar with the place and can arrange it for you."
"Okay, then let's say that first, see you again."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xingyun sat in his master's work room and thought for a moment, and immediately called Fatty Luo.
"Fatty, you kept telling me how many retired special forces bodyguards are there?"
"Ah? Are you not in the imperial capital? Why did you suddenly remember this? Are you in trouble?"
"Don't interrupt. I'm going to Yunnan in a few days to participate in a special stone betting game, and I need one or two bodyguards to accompany you. If you can't arrange it, I'll find someone else."
"Hey, don't worry, I want to help you find two masters with a steady personality and trustworthy personality. Since you are anxious, I'll call you for one first. Let's talk about the secrets that shouldn't be asked about.
, don't inquire about it."
"I have retired, what other secrets can't be told? It's really a state secret. Even if I want to ask, people won't say it."
"Okay..." Fatty Luo was urged by Xiao Xingyun, so he reluctantly agreed, but casually asked another additional condition, "Can you take me with me this time to bet on stones? Even if I don't bet,
I am willing to help you move the stones.”
Xiao Xingyun would have brought him with him, because he would not be at ease if he didn't go there.
However, on the surface, I still have to take some action, so I pondered: "You want to go too? It's a bit troublesome..."
"Brother Yun, please, please take me with you. You didn't even take me there last time on Jieyang public auction. I heard that many wonderful stories happened. I didn't go. It's a pity for life." Fatty Luo said hurriedly.
.
"If you can get the bodyguard for me when I return to Shenghai, I can consider bringing you with me."
"Okay, don't worry, I will call my former comrades now and promise to make a good arrangement for you." This time, Fatty Luo went out and made a guarantee on the spot.
Xiao Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief and finally solved the problem of finding a retired special forces soldier to be a bodyguard.
This fat man, if he doesn't say harsh words to him, he will continue to delay and will not take this matter to heart.www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
Be honest now?
Xiao Xingyun was in a happy mood and was about to go out to tell his master about leaving tomorrow, but he saw Wu Changyou push the door and come in.
"Xiao Xiao, don't stay in the house and don't go out. In the jade carving industry, you need to learn from others' skills. If you don't go out, you can't make masterpieces. If you work behind closed doors, you can't make masterpieces. Let's go and accompany your master to visit Panjiayuan.
See if you have any luck picking up a leak.”
Wu Changyou had already changed his body-faced clothes, and was full of energy and rosy complexion, like a healthy little old man who was far away from illness.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes when I'll change." Xiao Xingyun said, ran to his room and changed into clean clothes.
Xiao Xingyun drove away and took his master to Panjiayuan. When he was on the way, he explained clearly what happened to return to Shenghai tomorrow.
His career focus is not in the imperial capital for the time being, and he often returns to Shenghai, which is reasonable, and Wu Changyou expresses his understanding.
After parking the car, the two of them wandered around aimlessly at the stalls in various districts of Panjiayuan.
With the advent of the national collection boom, there are fewer and fewer things to find bargains at stalls.
Everyone wants to find a bargain, but no stall owner is a fool. Whenever he receives a real guy, he will hide it himself. How could he let the treasure appraiser pick up a bargain?
Things that can make people pick up bargains are often things that the stall owners have come from without knowing where they are.
Just like the Jin Dynasty coins that Xiao Xingyun once found, that was because the copper rust completely covered the handwriting, and the quality was too bad for most people to study it carefully.
Another inkstone was made of fake skin, otherwise it would not be Xiao Xingyun's turn to find the bargain.
As for the paintings of Zhong Kui by Emperor Huizong of Song, he found that he had lost his signature and seal because he had improper collection and bad appearance.
At this moment, they passed by a small stall, and an old man squatted behind the stall, smoking his own cigarette.
The stall in front of him was filled with various snuff bottles, which were very complete in style and made of many materials. If you glance at it, you will feel dazzling.
"Haha, here is interesting." Wu Changyou muttered to Xiao Xingyun, then squatted in front of the stall and looked at the snuff bottle on it.
Today, Xiao Xingyun was just shopping with his master, and occasionally used his eye power to find antiques. However, he was too lazy to find vacant items with weak energy. When he really encountered those with strong energy, he might look at them a few more times.
Seeing the master squatting in front of the stall, Xiao Xingyun used his supernatural power to glance at the items on the stall. Well, there are real goods on this stall, but not many.
"Boss, what is the price of this flower and bird ceramic snuff bottle?" Professor Wu asked.
The stall owner saw the customer coming to the door and stopped smoking. He said with a lotus flower on his tongue: "Brother has such a good eye. He took a look at the treasure of the stall at my stall at a glance. This flower and bird snuff bottle is not simple, it was Beile of the Qing Dynasty.
You can take away the 120,000 yuan if you have used it.”
Professor Wu did not accept the price, and after putting it down, he pointed to the snuff bottle next to him and asked, "Oh? Where is the agate-sculpted goldfish pot next to him?"
"This... this seems to be from the Republic of China. If you like it, you can give it 80,000."
Professor Wu asked in his elegant and slow tone again: "Where is this snuff bottle with bone-carved lettering next to him? Tsk... the words are good, but they are too dirty."
The old stall owner was anxious and grinned and shouted, "Hey, I said, brother, we won't ask the price like this. Which one do you like? If we like it, will you ask the price again?
?”
"Actually, I like it all, but the price is too high. If you say three hundred or five hundred, maybe I will buy it." Professor Wu smiled.
"That's not OK. I can't buy three or five hundred at all. I'm all real guys. I have collected them for most of my life. I've either from the Qing Dynasty or from the Republic of China. At least three or five thousand..."
Professor Wu interrupted the stall owner's boast and said, "Five hundred each, I'll buy two."
The stall owner said: "This, this is not the price, you have to add some! At least two thousand yuan per person, you can choose whatever you want."
Professor Wu put down the thing, stood up, shook his head and said, "I will increase the price for the last time, one thousand yuan per person, I will choose two, otherwise I will forget it."
The old stall owner quickly grabbed his arm and smiled bitterly: "Okay, who made me and my brother particularly fall in love with you? Even if you lose money today, you still have to make friends with you. You can choose."
"..." Xiao Xingyun kept watching quietly beside him, wanting to see what tricks his master used to bargain. Unexpectedly, he used a small hoe to confuse the stall owner.
What are 120,000 or 80,000, are all random talk.
Professor Wu hesitated for a while and slowly picked out two snuff bottles, one was a yellow bone-carved snuff bottle, and the other was a blue jade carved bamboo snuff bottle. The appearance was ordinary and there was no obvious signature or seal.
.
Xiao Xingyun nodded secretly. He was indeed a master of the antique industry. These two snuff bottles contained the most historical time and space energy.
"Okay, these two items are only 2,000 yuan in total, Xiao Xiao will pay for it." Professor Wu said.
"Okay." Xiao Xingyun took out his cell phone and was about to scan the code to pay, but he heard a man's blocking sound coming from beside him.
"Boss, I'll want these two snuff bottles, I'll give you 20,000."
Xiao Xingyun turned around and saw that it was Meng Fanxing, the owner of Shanxi coal, with a property of billions. He was Hu Lili's suitor, but he didn't expect that he was quite revenge.
