treasure hunter

Pei Miao grinned happily.

Xu Hongchang couldn't help but patted Pei Miao on the shoulder and said, "Let me just say, forming a team with you is definitely the most correct choice, your luck is simply too great."

Pei Miao nodded again and again: "Yes, I also think I am very lucky."

Xu Hongchang did not forget to add: "However, your level is also very good, especially your eyesight. It is impossible for ordinary people to see the Manchu script in this inkstone. Even after pouring water, I took a long time to see it. , By the way, how did you see it?"

"I..." Pei Miao took out a small mirror from his body and said, "I saw it with the mirror."

Seeing this, Xu Hongchang was stunned: "Why do you carry a mirror with you?"

Ever since Ma Chongwen was conspired by Se Kong Xuantong to lose his ability to distinguish colors some time ago, Pei Miao has been carrying a mirror with him just to deal with Se Kong Xuantong's sword in his pupils. Facts have also proved that his choice is correct. The two times he met Sekong Xuantong, he defeated Sekong Xuantong with this mirror.

But it was impossible for him to reply to Xu Hongchang like this, so he smiled and said, "My skin is not very good recently, and I always have pimples on my face. I bring a mirror with me to squeeze my pimples."

Xu Hongchang stared at Pei Miao's face: "I think your skin is pretty good..."

Pei Miao said: "Recently, my skin has improved, but who knows when I'll get acne again. It's not troublesome to carry a mirror with you."

"That's true." Xu Hongchang nodded with a smile, "You have done a great job with this mirror. In fact, the main reason is that you are careful enough to observe things. If you were someone else, who would think of putting the mirror at the bottom of the inkstone? It's amazing."

"So I'm lucky." Pei Miao asked suddenly, "By the way, Teacher Xu, how much is this inkstone worth?"

Xu Hongchang said: "You'd better find an expert from an authoritative department to appraise this. The writing on it needs to be compared. If it is confirmed that Dorgon or Huang Taiji gave it to Xiaozhuang, it will be terrible. You bought it for 50 yuan." Yes, it shouldn’t be a problem to double it more than ten times.”

Pei Miao excitedly said, "Then it's only 800 million, haha, it's so valuable!"

Xu Hongchang smiled and nodded: "Of course it is valuable, and what I said is a conservative valuation. It is best that Dorgon give it to Xiaozhuang. Although Dorgon is not a serious emperor, he can change our country. An important figure in history, and the things left by him are extremely rare, and the market price of his things is extremely high."

Pei Miao said: "I think it should have been given by Dorgon. Think about it carefully, if it was given by Huang Taiji, you can simply engrave these words on the surface of the inkstone. After all, it is something given by the husband to his wife. There's no need to cover it up, Dorgon is different, he and Xiaozhuang's name is not right, so to prevent people from saying it, he secretly engraved these words on the inner scroll of the inkstone, and Xiaozhuang only writes when he writes. , will see these words, other people can't find it at all."

"Your conjecture is quite reasonable!" Xu Hongchang laughed, "If it was Dorgon's, the inkstone would easily be worth tens of millions. Haha, we are sure to win today. I see what kind of tricks Old Han can do this time. It's useless for him to find the cloisonne fragments again, haha..."

Pei Miao said: "Then what if he finds the fragments of Yuan Qinghua?"

Xu Hongchang was excited, when he heard these words, his laughter stopped abruptly. Although Pei Miao's words were a bit unpleasant, I have to say that Yunzhou Antique City is so big and has so many things, everything is still possible .

He could only say: "Even if he finds the fragments of Yuan Qinghua, so what? After all, they are fragments. Even if they are repaired, I don't believe that they can be sold for tens of millions."

Pei Miao said: "Professor Han's restoration skills are second to none in the industry. I have seen the painted enamel porcelain he restored with my own eyes. There are almost no traces of restoration from the outside. It is simply amazing. If he can really restore It is not difficult to sell a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain worth over [-] million yuan for tens of millions."

Xu Hongchang said stubbornly: "How could he have such good luck? Yuan blue and white fragments can be encountered by him. Even if he encounters them, they will definitely be incomplete. Okay, let's not talk about it. Hurry up and put away the inkstone. Go to the third floor, let's We must continue to consolidate our advantages and strive to win today's victory."

Pei Miao immediately put away the inkstone, put on her backpack, and walked to the elevator with Xu Hongchang.

The elevator door opened, and Pei Miao was stunned. There was a man and a woman standing inside. The man was a middle-aged man in his 40s. The woman was very young and beautiful, with her hair tied back and wearing a black custom-made bubble wrap upper body. Puff-sleeved shirt and straight-leg semi-transparent black gauze trousers on the lower body.

"Hi, Pei Miao!" The beauty happily waved her hand to greet Pei Miao.

"Chen Wei?" Pei Miao looked at her in astonishment, "Why are you here?"

Chen Weiwei smiled and said: "I should ask you this, why are you here?"

While talking, the elevator door was about to close, Pei Miao and Xu Hongchang stretched out their hands to block the elevator door, Xu Hongchang said: "Go in and talk." After saying that, he walked into the elevator.

Pei Miao also walked in.

Xu Hongchang asked: "Do you know each other?"

"Yes, I know." Pei Miao nodded.

Chen nodded with a smile: "We are old friends, we really don't meet each other in life."

Pei Miao introduced: "This is Mr. Xu Hongchang, an expert in treasure appraisal from the Suzhou Guardian's treasure appraisal program."

Chen Wei stretched out her hand with a smile, and shook hands with Xu Hongchang. At the same time, she introduced herself, "I have heard about Mr. Xu's name for a long time, and today I can finally meet a real person. I am Chen Wei, the jewelry appraiser of Furui Jewelry."

Pei Miao added, "She's also the supervisor of Furui's jewelry raw material department."

Xu Hongchang hurriedly smiled and said: "Director Chen is young and promising, a woman is not a man."

"Mr. Xu, I'm honored." After the two of them boasted about their business, Chen Wei introduced the middle-aged man beside him, and said, "This is Mr. Dong Jianxiang, the jade appraiser of our company's Shanghai Branch."

The so-called jade appraisers are actually stone gambling experts.

Dong Jianxiang smiled at the two of them, as if he had greeted them.

Pei Miao asked, "Then you came here...to look at rocks?"

"Yes." Chen Wei looked at Pei Miao and said a little excitedly, "A senior executive from the raw material department contacted a jade shop here, saying that there is a very good rough jadeite in this shop, the light is transparent, and it can Seeing the beautiful blue water, it is very likely to be the glass sky blue, so I took Mr. Dong to see it for myself.”

"There are still rough emeralds here?" Pei Miao was confused.

Chen Wei said: "Yes, but not many. Some jade shops will take some of the beautiful stones when they see them. Pei Miao, it's great to meet you here. How about you help me check?"

As she spoke, she actually raised her eyebrows at Pei Miao, and Pei Miao felt like she was being shocked, so she quickly looked away and said, "I still have something to do."

Xu Hongchang also said: "Yes, we are looking at antiques."

Chen Wei moved to Pei Miao's side, tugged Pei Miao's sleeve lightly, and said in a coquettish tone, "Help me, just for a while."

Pei Miao felt numb all over.

Xu Hongchang is still very discerning. Although the competition is important, it is not as important as Pei Miao flirting with girls. He said decisively: "Actually, we are not in a hurry to pick antiques. Pei Miao, you can help her check it out."

After he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked: "No, Director Chen, you brought an expert in stone gambling, why did you ask Pei Miao to check it out for you? Although Pei Miao is very good at antiques, but looking at rough emerald stones... ...Pei Miao, do you know how to look at rough jadeite?"

Pei Miao said perfunctorily, "I understand a little, I understand a little..."

Chen Wei was still tugging at Pei Miao's sleeve, repeating a sentence with a smile all the time: "Help me, help me..."

Pei Miao also had no choice but to say: "Yes, but...you have to pay."

Xu Hongchang covered his face when he heard the words, what the hell are young people nowadays, he actually raised money for such a good opportunity to flirt with girls.

"No problem." Chen Wei asked happily after hearing the words, "How much do you want?"

Pei Miao asked, "It's fine to pay according to the price of appearance fees for stone gambling experts."

Chen Wei said: "Then it will be calculated according to 5% of the price of the stone, no matter what your appraisal result is, it will be given to you according to 5% of the price offered by the other party."

Dong Jianxiang, a stone gambling expert at the side, frowned and said, "Miss Chen, is this a bit high?"

Chen Wei said happily, "Don't worry, Pei Miao is worth the price."

Dong Jianxiang was very unhappy, feeling the insult he had received, he said, "Then I'm leaving?"

Chen Wei waved his hand and said, "No need, you can go together too. One person counts the disadvantages, and the two count the strengths."

She knew that Dong Jianxiang was very unhappy, and the stone gambling experts were not arrogant, but as the boss, she didn't want to see her employees being too arrogant and dragging her around all day long, so he wanted Dong Jianxiang to compete with Pei Miao this time, Let him experience what it means to be beyond others.

With a sound of "ding", the elevator stopped. Looking at the floor, it turned out to be the eighth floor. Pei Miao and Xu Hongchang actually forgot to press the button after entering the elevator.

That's okay, anyway, they are now going to see the stone with Chen Wei.

"Here we are, let's go out." Chen Wei said.

Pei Miao and Xu Hongchang got out of the elevator first, followed by Chen Wei and Dong Jianxiang.

Chen Wei took out his mobile phone and looked at the information on the mobile phone. The specific address and store name were written in the information.

The eighth floor is different from the other floors. There are fewer shops, and there is an open space like a square in the middle. The shops are scattered around. Chen Wei led them to search for more than ten minutes, and finally found it. It is a company called "Old Yufang" "The jade shop.

As soon as you enter, you can see all kinds of jade products on the counter on the left, many of which are ancient jade, and there are quite a lot of high-quality goods. The counter on the right sells jade products.

Although the history of jadeite is not as long as other jadeware, it has a history of hundreds of years. During the Qing Dynasty in my country, Emperor Qianlong loved jadeite. The trend of domestic jadeite was also brought about by Emperor Qianlong.

There are not many jade antiques here, only three or five small jade ornaments, most of which are fakes. The fakes mentioned here do not mean fake jade. Jade is still real jade, but it is an antique jade imitated by modern technology. products.

There are also some other jade jewelry, decorations, handles, etc., which are all medium or low-end items, and it is difficult to see high-quality items.

The owner of this "Old Yufang" is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with short shaved hair, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a casual T-shirt and slacks.

Chen Wei started to negotiate with the boss.

After a few words, the boss asked someone to go to the warehouse to take out the rough jadeite.

The rough jadeite was taken out thick and placed on the counter. The rough stone was not big and had an irregular shape. It was weighed by a scale, and it was 11.2 kilograms.

Chen Wei looked at Dong Jianxiang and Pei Miao, and said, "Both, I leave it to you."

Pei Miao spread her hands and said, "Mr. Dong, you should read it first."

"Okay." Dong Jianxiang took out his flashlight and stepped forward to observe the stone carefully.

After watching for a while, it was Pei Miao's turn. Pei Miao also took out the flashlight, stepped forward to look for a while, and then put away the flashlight.

Seeing that Pei Miao put away the flashlight, Chen Wei said, "Tell me, how about this stone, Mr. Dong, please tell me first."

Dong Jianxiang said: "This is a piece of moxi sand material, which has been completely desanded. The light is transparent and can almost penetrate the whole stone, indicating that the water head is very high, and it should be as high as ice or glass. Moreover, the light emitted by the light can It can be seen that it is colder, it should be blue water material, and the last one should be clear water background color, if the blue color is enough, then this stone can greatly increase.”

Chen Wei said: "Then can this stone be bought?"

Dong Jianxiang said: "I haven't finished yet. This stone has an old fracture on the left side and a knock on the right side. Obviously, when it was in the Burmese mine, someone had already looked at it, but nothing was seen. There are many cracks on the surface of the leather shell, which shows that the risk of this stone is not small, and now it mainly depends on what price the boss asks."

Pei Miao nodded while listening, this Dong Jianxiang is worthy of being an expert in stone gambling, everything he said is very regular, it can be said that he is more professional.

Chen Wei looked at Pei Miao: "Pei Miao, what about you?"

Pei Miao said, "Let the boss quote the price first."

Chen Wei turned to look at the boss, and said, "Boss, how much is this stone?"

The boss raised five fingers and said, "500 million."

Chen Wei said: "Boss, give me a real price, this price is too high."

"Is it still high?" The boss patted the stone and said, "Didn't you see how transparent it was when the lights were turned on just now? It's completely transparent! This is the best material for bet glass. Where can you find such a good material?" The material? Five million is definitely not much."

Chen Wei turned to look at Pei Miao: "Pei Miao, what do you say?"

Pei Miao said: "The risk is too great, and the glass species don't fight like this."

Seeing that Pei Miao was as young as a student, the boss immediately disdainful, and said, "Betting on rocks is risky. If you want to be risk-free, then don't gamble. If you don't fight like glass, how do you fight? You can't do it every day." Is it the wooden stone?"

Pei Miao really wanted to say that if he cut wood, he could cut glass seeds, but no one believed it.

Pei Miao said: "That's right, this stone is indeed very transparent, and it's the first time I've seen such a large stone that is completely transparent, but this only proves that this stone has a good water head, and it also proves that This rock has no fog."

"What do you mean?" The boss said angrily, "This is Moxisha, what kind of fog do you want!"

Pei Miao said: "It's true that Moxisha's penetrating material does not need fog, but this also caused Moxisha to have a common problem, that is, the water head is higher than the seed, and in the later stage, it is entirely dependent on 'opening the hall' to improve the quality of the product. All of us We all know that the kind of jadeite depends on the fineness of the jadeite grains, but listen to it."

He flicked his flashlight on the shell of the stone, making a rattling sound, and said: "The sound is not hard enough, which means that the strength is not strong enough. Such a transparent stone does not have enough strength. It is too difficult to cut out glass seeds." ;Let’s talk about the old fracture here again. The light from the emerald lamp is colder, indicating that there is blue in it. Good? It will only penetrate the color? No impurities will enter? Under such circumstances, do you still want to cut out the glass seed? The possibility of high ice seed is not high. The knock on the right is already very telling. The old man is so smart. When you dig a good stone, you should first tap it with an iron pick to see how it is inside. If you see a good thing, you will keep it for yourself. If you don’t see a good thing, you will sell it. This The knock is quite deep, and I didn’t see anything good. This stone really doesn’t have much purchase value. If it’s only 30 or 500, you can take the risk, but [-] million…Chen Wei, I advise you Be cautious."

In fact, Pei Miao still has a few things to say, this stone is too deceptive, the cold color illuminated by the light is indeed because there is blue in the emerald, but this blue is only a little bit, Moxisha is famous With such a high transparency, even if there is a little bit of blue, if you shine it with a flashlight, it will be completely blue. Even through the leather shell, you can still see that the light is colder.

Pei Miao found out through the ability that the seeds inside were just right to the ice seeds, but the water head was quite high, and there was a terrible point, there were a lot of cracks, not to mention the bracelet bits, even the brand bits were very few.

Chen Wei turned to Dong Jianxiang, "Mr. Understand, what's your opinion?"

Dong Jianxiang didn't expect Pei Miao to be so professional. Pei Miao's previous unlocking made Dong Jianxiang realize that Pei Miao is indeed a master, and he no longer felt unhappy, saying: "I have the same idea as Pei Miao. This stone Although it looks beautiful, it is too risky and I am not optimistic about it."
