27. Chapter 27 Emerald Market(1/3)
After talking about the jade, Li Gen took out two more paintings from his bag and wanted Ding Xiaobu to appraise them. This was also one of the purposes of his visit today.
Ding Xiaobu accepted the favor, so naturally he couldn't refuse. He agreed and opened the painting. One was a picture of spring by Ren Bonian of the Maritime Painting School in the late Qing Dynasty.
One is a picture of fish music by Sun Kehong in the Ming Dynasty.
They are all very good things, and they are all genuine, except that the picture of Sun Kehong's fish music among them is a little damaged and has lost some value.
But overall, these two paintings are still worth 18 million.
Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but nodded, "They are all real and worth collecting. If you want to sell them, Ren Bonian's Spring Picture of Spring can be sold for about two million. This picture of Yule is more expensive, about five million, of course.
I said the lowest price."
Li Gen's heart suddenly fell to the ground, because he exchanged jade for these two pictures with others. He found several experts to show them, some of them were telling the truth, some were lying, and they couldn't be sure.
idea.
Seeing Ding Xiaobu being so sure, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and laughed, "Thank you so much, Mr. Ding, you don't know, I wanted to sell these two paintings some time ago.
It's here, it's better now, I have to collect it well."
Although he sells jade, he has a special attachment to ancient paintings and likes them from the bottom of his heart. This is one of the main reasons why he wants to marry Ding Xiaobu.
Because not everyone can copy a painting to that level like Ding Xiaobu did. Naturally, I admire and am happy from the bottom of my heart.
Wang Shan couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry now, Mr. Xiao Ding's eyesight is now the best in our SIPG antique shop. As long as he says it is true, no one will dare to say it is false.
"
Although this was said to be a bit flattering to Ding Xiaobu, when it came to distinguishing between true and false, Ding Xiaobu still had the confidence to do so, and couldn't help but smile confidently.
The little beauty Yuan Lu is a little sniffy, especially since she saw a picture of Tang Bohu's beauty last night, and today there is another picture of Ren Bonian's love for spring.
She couldn't help but have a little resistance to this profession, so she kicked the proud Ding Xiaobu with her little foot.
Ding Xiaobu didn't know why, so he looked over curiously, and saw that she was gnashing her teeth and staring at him like a little tiger. He quickly turned his head away, and couldn't help but sigh to himself, this woman really turned against her faster than she could flip through a book.
It was fine just now, but now it is like this. Ding Xiaobu has no clue at all.
Wang Shan and Li Gen were about to say goodbye and leave at this time, but seeing that it was still early, Li Gen suggested again: "Mr. Xiao Ding, I see it's still early, or we can accompany you to go shopping for jade."
Come to the store, just take a look at the current market conditions."
This is a good idea, and I will feel more confident now that I know the market conditions.
But now he and Yuan Lu were the only two people in the store, and Yuan Lu didn't know much about antiques, so Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but hesitate.
But Yuan Lu became interested, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I really like jade." After saying that, she winked at Ding Xiaobu with a pair of charming eyes, and asked him to nod quickly.
Ding Xiaobu was speechless, spread his hands and said, "You and I have gone out, what should we do if there is no one in the store?"
The little beauty was full of stories, and Wang Shan and Li Gen didn't want to force it anymore, and were ready to choose a date to make an appointment. But the little beauty was interested, but she didn't care about this and that, and came up with an idea: "Let's close the store first.
No, that’s fine. Besides, who’s going to visit an antique store so early in the morning?”
"That's true." Li Gen heard that this was a good idea and quickly agreed.
Ding Xiaobu couldn't resist anymore, so he could only close the door and take Yuan Lu with Li Gen and Wang Shan to the famous Jade Street of Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai.
This type of market is the most crowded in the morning, with people walking, shopping, and some setting up stalls. Coupled with the original shopkeepers, it is very lively like a sea of people.
When they dared to arrive, the door was already a little crowded, and they could see that the jade business was booming now.
"Mr. Xiao Ding, you see, now in our SIPG, not in the entire continent, as long as you have good goods, someone will definitely buy them. So, this time we go to Myanmar to purchase goods together, we will definitely make a profit and not lose any money.
"
Li Gen walked with three people on the street and introduced them with a smile. During the period, some people who knew him came over to say hello, which was quite interesting in the lively atmosphere.
Ding Xiaobu was observing the market carefully, especially those stores or stall owners selling jade, all of them had bright faces. It looked like business was going well, and he felt more confident.
Yuan Lu, on the other hand, was dazzled by what she saw. She kept running here and there looking around, and from time to time she picked up some small jewelry and put it on her hand or neck to show off her smell. She was extremely happy to play.
At this time, passing by a store, the little beauty ran in quickly and took a fancy to one of the emerald leaf-shaped pure gold pendants. It was extremely beautiful. I quickly asked: "Boss, how much does this cost?"
Jadeite is glass-type white jadeite. It is not big, only about the size of two fingertips. It only costs five or six grams of pure gold. If it were sold in an orthodox jadeite store, it would cost about seven to eight thousand yuan.
But this is a retail store, and there are also some other antiques and Buddhist products. They basically sell the same products and make the same money, so they are naturally more expensive.
The boss directly asked for the price, "Twenty thousand."
"No, it's so expensive." This small pendant is really beautiful, especially since it is still empty on Yuan Lu's neck. She tried to put it on like this, and it just happened to fall between the plump vagina, and the white and tender
The voluptuous breasts make it even more tempting, and the fluctuations are not to mention so charming.
Although the boss was a little obsessed with this **** little beauty, but business is business, he still felt cruel and shook his head and said: "This price really can't be reduced any more. Besides, you see
, how beautiful you are with it."
"You can't spend money on beautiful things. I don't have money to buy them."
Yuan Lu pouted and took it off.
At this time, Ding Xiaobu, Wang Shan, and Li Gen followed in. As soon as the shopkeeper saw Li Gen, he quickly said hello: "Oh, Mr. Li, why do you have time to come to my small temple?"
"Isn't this just passing by?" Although Li Gen is not as old as Wang Shan, he is still in his mid-forties. Following Yuan Lu back and forth like this, he really couldn't keep an eye on her, so he decided to rest here for a while.
Then he introduced: "These two are big figures in our antique shop. You must have heard of Boss Wang Shanwang. This one is even more famous. Mr. Xiao Ding from the Lin family of Yubaozhai was at the appreciation meeting yesterday.
The one above."
"Oh, really?"
The shop owner was extremely surprised. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ding Xiaobu as if in fear, and sighed: "I heard about your deeds, Mr. Xiao Ding, yesterday. I never thought that I would be able to see you one day."
I am really lucky to be alive. I am lucky to be alive." He kept nodding and bowing.
Ding Xiaobu couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect that his deeds would spread so quickly, and even the small shopkeepers here knew about it.
But it is also understandable that in the antique industry, big or small matters, if something is to be spread, it only takes a few minutes, so I couldn't help but nodded politely, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
The shopkeeper continued to nod and bow, and even more energetic, he chuckled and said: "Mr. Xiao Ding, you are a distinguished guest who has made my small shop shine. I admire you very much. I am honored to meet you.
Old man, I can wake up from my sleep. By the way, I just don’t know why you’re here this time!”
Ding Xiaobu came here for jade today. Seeing that he had some jade here, he asked, "I came here today to see the jade. I wonder how the price of jade is now."
"The market for jadeite has been good in the past two years, getting better and better year by year. The main reason is that people have money in their pockets and want to play with some rare things. Isn't that right? In the past few years, it has been almost every year, rising step by step.
Ah." The shopkeeper laughed and took out some nice jadeite for Ding Xiaobu to look at.
Ding Xiaobu took a look at them and saw that they were all good things. He couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, it's pretty good for a small shop like yours to have such inventory."
The shop owner naturally laughed out loud when he received such a comment from Ding Xiaobu.
Li Gen sniffed it and said crisply: "He is just an old fox with many interesting things. Today, the real Buddha is here. Why don't you take out your treasure quickly and ask Mr. Xiao Ding to give it to you?"
Long eyes, you will never encounter such an opportunity many times in your life."
The shop owner thought so too, and knew how powerful this man was. If he dared to ruin the appreciation conference, he must be the best in the world. He hurriedly took out three boxes from the safe and opened them one by one. Two pieces of fine jadeite were revealed.
, and another piece is mutton-fat white jade.
Placed there like this, although the rays of light are not overwhelming, it still pierces people's eyes and attracts Yuan Lu, Li Gen, and Wang Shan to surround them.
It also provoked Li Gen to gesticulate for a while, "You, an old fox, actually still have such a thing, next time, I think you can go to the appreciation meeting."
The shop owner smiled and waited for the next step.
Wang Shan is an expert in mutton-fat white jade. At this time, he quickly took out the small magnifying glass in his arms and looked at it. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and whispered in Ding Xiaobu's ear: "Serious ancient jade is better than mine."
The finger wrench is much stronger.”
Ding Xiaobu shook his head and whispered into Wang Shan's ears: "Good jade is good jade, but it's just nine-aperture jade, worthless."
Nine-aperture jade is the jade that ancient people stuffed into their bodies after death. Those who can stuff mutton-fat white jade are naturally rich and powerful people. But no matter what, this jade is nine-aperture jade, and the price is different.
Wang Shan couldn't help but take a closer look. Sure enough, there were a few black traces that were not very clear. He couldn't help but admire Ding Xiaobu's eyesight even more. He gave a thumbs up again, "Mr. Xiao Ding is so smart."
As for the remaining two pieces of jade, they also had some flaws. Ding Xiaobu didn't say anything more, and smiled politely at the shop owner: "If you have a chance, it's better to take action."
The shopkeeper was not a fool. He suddenly realized it and felt a pang in his heart. He quickly put away the three things that he regarded as treasures and said to Ding Xiaobu, "Thank you, thank you. I have learned a lesson from you."
Taught."
A few days ago, someone offered him three items at a high price, but he didn't sell them.
He originally thought it was a good product, so he wanted to keep it as a treasure for his store. Now that he has seen the flaws, he no longer plans to hide it, and will take action when the opportunity arises.
Naturally, he was full of gratitude towards Ding Xiaobu. He also saw that the **** female companion he had brought was still playing with the jade pendant. He quickly said cheerfully: "Little old man, I really don't know what to say.
Well, since Mr. Ding’s female companion likes this pendant, I will take this opportunity to give it to this young lady.”
Yuan Lu was stunned at this moment, with a look of surprise and confusion on her face, and was a little confused. Then she looked at Ding Xiaobu, Wang Shan, and Li Gen, all of whom had faint smiles on their faces, as if it were natural, and even more so.
Curious.
Why did this old man give me something? Is it just what he said just now?
Yuan Lu didn't understand very much, because the first impression of Ding Xiaobu in her mind was that of the big pervert who peeked under her skirt and had a nosebleed. Although she had heard some things about him from Sister Kou and Mi Jing after that,
But this shameless image in her heart has not changed much.
