Chapter 266 Gold Inlaid Jade, Ye Fan's Trap
Seeing Qi Yuanhao's expression of embarrassment, Ye Fan smiled softly.
"If Mr. Qi doesn't agree, you can make a price. As long as the price is reasonable, Ye will never frown."
Ye Fan's words had reached this point, which really left Qi Yuanhao with no way to retreat.
He calculated the price secretly in his mind. The difference between the valuation of the object he brought and the valuation of the object brought by Zhou Youde was more than 70 million. Only if this object can be sold for more than 70 million can he win over Zhou Youde, but this object is worth 70 million.
More than ten million?
Qi Yuanhao couldn't help but feel worried at this time.
Even if this is the treasure of the Qi family, its value is around 50 million. More than 70 million is really too much.
But at the moment, he couldn't think about that much anymore. Qi Yuanhao could only bite the bullet and said with a smile: "This object is the most precious treasure of my Qi family. It is a gilt, jade and glazed silver belt hook. This silver belt hook belongs to my Qi family."
The family heirloom has a history of thousands of years. If it is put on the market, it can easily be sold for hundreds of millions. But since Brother Ye likes it today, I, Qi Yuanhao, am not a heartless person, so I will give up 80 million.
How about giving it to Brother Ye?"
No matter how he was feeling, these words were really high-sounding and moved everyone.
Of course, they were all ignorant people who didn't know what was going on. Those who really knew the business immediately sneered when they heard the price he quoted.
Yes, this gilt and jade-inlaid silver belt hook is indeed a rare fine product, but its essence is made of silver, so the price is naturally greatly discounted.
No matter how beautiful the shape is, if the material used in the object is not valuable, it is useless.
This is like a handicraft made of mud. No matter how exquisite the craftsmanship is, it is made of mud after all, and its value cannot be compared to a piece of gold.
This is why gold and jade are so popular and valuable because of their good materials.
Ye Fan was slightly startled, but soon a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Master Qi, this price is good. How about we go to the inner hall to discuss it in detail later?"
Ye Fan didn't respond immediately, and Qi Yuanhao's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Ye Fan couldn't accept this price.
But since Ye Fan said this, he made it clear that he was giving himself a step down.
Smiling slightly: "Since Brother Ye is so kind, how dare Qi not obey?"
Ye Fan nodded, then looked at the others: "Everyone, today's tasting session ends here. Please leave in an orderly manner."
It was not announced who would lose and who would win, but anyone with a discerning eye would already know that Zhou Youde won the match completely.
The reason why Ye Fan didn't announce it in front of everyone was just to take care of Qi Yuanhao's face.
No one is a fool. Some things just need a little thought and you will understand them.
Watching everyone leave, Ye Fan greeted Qi Yuanhao, Zhou Youde, Sun Lao, Ji Lao and others and went straight to the inner hall.
The inner hall was no more spacious than the outside. After a few people took their seats, Ye Fan greeted the waiters to serve tea.
"Mr. Qi, is this gilt silver belt hook inlaid with jade and glazed glass really inherited from your ancestors? Is it possible that something happened to it and you don't know about it?"
Staring at Qi Yuanhao, Ye Fan asked calmly.
Upon hearing Ye Fan's question, Qi Yuanhao was slightly startled, but his expression immediately darkened.
"Brother Ye, what do you mean by this?"
His face was gloomy, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes as he looked at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan smiled and was not annoyed.
"Mr. Sun, you just gave me a price of 30 yuan. I think you should have seen some clues, so you should tell me."
Ye Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked Sun Yilang the question.
The other people were stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Fan in confusion, wondering what he meant.
Mr. Sun smiled slightly and said, "This item is a fake, an imitation."
One sentence made the other people even more shocked.
"Mr. Sun, do you think this is a fake?"
Mr. Ji frowned. He had checked carefully just now and found nothing.
What's wrong with it? How could it be a fake?
Qi Yuanhao stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Mr. Sun, as the boss of Boguzhai, you must be responsible for what you said.":
He was full of annoyance at this time, and for no other reason than that even if Mr. Sun said that this object was not worth 80 million, he could accept it. After all, this object was indeed not worth that much money.
But he said it was a fake. This was not only a humiliation to him, but also a humiliation to the entire Qi family. How could he endure it?
Seeing that Qi Yuanhao was annoyed, Ye Fan quickly waved his hand and motioned for Qi Yuanhao to sit down.
"Young Master Qi, there is no need to be angry. Let's listen to what Mr. Sun has to say. If there are any problems, it will not be too late for us to study them."
Zhou Youde on the side was even more excited when he heard what Mr. Sun said, and said proudly: "Real gold is not afraid of fire. If there is nothing wrong with this treasure, Young Master Qi, it doesn't matter what anyone says. Why should Young Master Qi be angry?"
At this time, even though Qi Yuanhao was angry in his heart, he had no choice but to sit down and endure his anger.
"Mr. Sun, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise Qi will never give up."
For these young masters from big families, the honor of the family is above all else.
Sun Yilang had been looking at Qi Yuanhao indifferently, not caring at all about his threats.
He is the master of antique shops in Jiangcheng. He is extremely popular in the antique circle and is not something that the Qi family can just manipulate.
Especially for the younger generation Qi Yuanhao, it is even more difficult to deal with him. If the older generation of the Qi family comes, he may be more concerned.
A smile appeared on his face, and Mr. Sun said leisurely: "This silver belt hook is larger in size and is made entirely of silver. As everyone knows, the value of silver is not high. Among antiques, it is considered low-grade.
"Fortunately, this object is in good condition. It is entirely gilt and has hooks and reliefs of beasts and long-tailed birds."
Holding the object in his hand, Mr. Sun pointed at it and introduced it.
"In ancient times, many beasts had a very high status, because beasts were symbols of strength and representatives of force value. Therefore, many generals loved the heads of beasts. As for the long-tailed bird, it was a totem, representing a race or a nation.
tribe, so judging from the relief pattern, this object must belong to a general."
Hearing what Mr. Sun said, Mr. Ji and others nodded.
Mr. Sun is right. In ancient times, generally speaking, objects with animal heads were given to military generals in recognition of their military exploits.
Seeing everyone nodding, Mr. Sun smiled slightly.
"Everyone, please take a look. The beast heads are arranged at the front and rear ends of the silver hook. They are ferocious in shape and have a huge mouth. They are particularly terrifying. The long-tailed bird is located on the left and right sides of the silver hook, with the beast heads as its head.
Honor, family comes second, it can be seen that this was cast by the emperor and awarded to those who sink."
