Li Xun has made an appointment with the two of them to meet and discuss it in detail. As long as there are no major problems with the object, he will probably buy the box with the painted lid.

Two antiques, a multi-million dollar business.

It took almost as long as a cup of tea to make the move. Even if Zhao Zheng bought Mr. Wu Changshuo's bloodstone seal, it can be seen that he is very powerful.

This is the old man who has been in the antique shop for many years and has made a name for himself.

If Chen Jing wants to reach the level of Zhao Zheng, he can only say that the road is long, or the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

"Xiao Chen, if the colorful lid box is successfully sold, do you want to treat me to a drink?" Zhao Zheng hung up the phone and asked cheerfully.

Okay, this drunkenness has started again.

Chen Jing was really afraid of him when it came to drinking: "Uncle Zhao, drinking is okay, but let's just say, can it be done in moderation? After all, a little drunkenness makes you happy, but a big drunkenness will hurt your health."

He originally wanted to say that Uncle Zhao was not too young anymore and really needed to take care of his health, but in the end he still didn't know how to say this kind of thing clearly and his words were much more tactful.

Zhao Zheng drank tea: "You are still young and don't understand the principle of carpe diem."

"I heard a saying before and thought it made sense."

Chen Jing was curious and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Seventy years of life are rare in ancient times. Ten years are young, ten years are old and weak, and there are still fifty years. Fifty years are divided into day and night, and there are only twenty-five years. In addition, there are wind and rain, three disasters and six six

How many good days can a person have left in his life?"

"So, strive when you should struggle, and have fun when you should have fun. In this life, it is the same when it comes and goes, and the process is even more important."

Perhaps middle-aged men have a similar outlook on life as Zhao Zheng. Speaking of it at the moment, he actually looked a bit sad.

But Chen Jing is young after all. Although he can understand the meaning of Zhao Zheng's words, it is really impossible for him to find some empathy from it.

For a twenty-two-year-old young man, his good years have just begun, and the days ahead are still long.

However, Chen Jing still responded: "Uncle Zhao, what you said makes sense."

"So, come drink with me tonight!"

Chen Jing: “…………”

On the first day after the National Day holiday, Nabaoju had no customers all day long. Because he had an appointment with Master Li Xun in the evening, Chen Jing took the time to walk around the antique street and use the three appraisal opportunities every day.

Lose.

Although the previous two mysterious intuitions have proved that there are no antiques that can be missed in Changcheng Antique Street in a short period of time, Chen Jing cannot go to other places to try his luck during working hours.

However, he still thought that when he could use his mysterious intuition next time, he would ask Uncle Zhao about other places in Changcheng where antiques might be found.

"Sister Xue, I will go back later today to discuss the sale of antiques."

Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Jing sent a message to Kong Xue first.

Kong Xue replied quickly: "Okay, if you have a social event, drink less alcohol." She also knew that Chen Jing had missed more than one antique during the National Day holiday, so she was quite proud of it.

The place where I agreed to meet with Li Xun was not far away, in a teahouse near Antique Street.

In the evening, Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng arrived at this exquisitely decorated teahouse called "Xunyun". At this time, there were not many guests inside.

Li Xun arrived early and ordered good tea and Chinese snacks such as walnut cakes.

"Lao Li, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Master Li."

Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng hurried over to sit down and spoke one after another.

Li Xun smiled: "What are you waiting for? I arrived early." As he said this, he poured tea for Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng.

After the three of them drank tea and chatted for a few words, Li Xun brought the conversation to the main topic: "Xiao Chen, you are really amazing. It has only been so long and you have missed something again."

When Chen Jing heard this, he still humbly said things like good luck.

Zhao Zheng took a sip of tea and said nothing.

Then, Chen Jing also took advantage of the situation and placed the protective box he was carefully carrying on the tea table: "Master Li, please take a look."

They were originally talking about business, and Li Xun was indeed interested in the colorful lid box. He didn't say much else at once. He opened the protective box, took out the magnifying glass he carried with him, and began to examine it carefully.

Li Xun's reputation as a master appraiser is not for nothing. He appraises the colored lid box much faster than Zhao Zheng.

Putting down the magnifying glass, Li Xun's face looked a little happy: "What a good thing."

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Jiajing red lacquerware in such good condition. It’s even better than the several pieces of red lacquerware I have in my own collection.”

Li Xun did not hesitate to praise, nor did he mean to belittle the colorful lid box.

After all, the three people present are knowledgeable, especially Zhao Zheng. Everyone knows the approximate value of this cover box, and it is useless to belittle it.

Chen Jing felt happy when he heard what he said.

Li Xun undoubtedly fell in love with this colorful lid box, and the next thing to do was to negotiate the price.

Zhao Zheng said at this time: "Yes, I was really surprised when I saw it. It is indeed rare for wooden objects to be so well preserved from the Ming Dynasty to the present."

Li Xun nodded, then looked at Chen Jing with a smile on his face: "Xiao Chen, I wonder how much do you want to make of this colorful lid box?"

"This..." Chen Jing responded hesitantly, but in fact he had no intention of taking the initiative to bid, but was waiting for Zhao Zheng to take over the conversation.

He is not yet able to negotiate the price with a master like Li Xun. This is not like the blue and white porcelain he sold to Li Xun before. The value is quite different, so Zhao Zheng has to negotiate.

Zhao Zhengzi also understood and took over the words happily: "Old Li, we all know how precious this colored lid box is. Once you get it, whether you collect it or resell it, you will definitely make money."

With Li Xun's connections and channels, if he buys the colorful lid box and resells it, he can indeed sell it at a higher price.

Again, there is never an absolute standard for the value of antiques. It will be affected by various factors to a higher or lower level. The person who sells the antiques will also affect the value.

Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Li Xun nodded noncommittally and got straight to the point: "Old Zhao, we have been friends for so many years. You and Xiao Chen can tell the real price directly."

"Eight hundred and eighty thousand, auspicious."

This price was discussed between Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng on the way here.

The estimated price was 700,000 to 900,000, but the price was definitely higher when the price was announced.

"It's too high." When Li Xun heard the price, he immediately shook his head. It was obviously beyond his heart's price.

This was what Chen Jing and Zhao Zheng had expected. No one would agree to the seller's price immediately.
