Li Xiang came to the old man and took out a string of Buddhist beads from the cuff of his huge suit as if by magic.
"How about I trade this string of Buddhist beads with you for this snow lotus?"
Everyone didn't react when they heard the sound. It wasn't until Li Xiang moved that they noticed such a person in such a weird dress.
Wang Qianzhi's expression suddenly changed, and for a moment he became angry and scared as he looked at Li Xiang.
Why is he here?
Wang Qianzhi glanced at him.
Could it be that he is really Gu Taozhi's boyfriend?
I felt so angry that before I even went to find him, he actually came to my door!
But now is not the time.
Because, at this moment, almost all eyes present were on his hands.
A bunch of dull, ordinary-looking and ugly-looking Buddhist beads.
The surrounding dignitaries chuckled. No matter how they looked at it, they didn't think that such a string of Buddhist beads could be exchanged for more than 10 million snow lotus?
Even Gu Taozhi looked at Li Xiang in disbelief. He had not seen Li Xiang wearing this Buddhist bead this morning. It was probably given by someone else.
"What is this? Am I right? You bought it from a roadside stall?"
"Is there any mistake? This can also be exchanged for something? You are really young and ignorant!"
"I think he is young and doesn't understand. He probably wants to blackmail this old man. Otherwise, why not put it on display in the exhibition cabinet? He probably won't even pass the trial."
The people who came to the auction were all people who loved to play with antiques and treasures. There was no one around who didn't know the goods. They could almost see the value of this Buddhist bead at a glance.
In other words, the souvenirs in scenic spots are probably worth more than this!
"Taozhi, the boyfriend you are looking for is quite courageous! Haha, you actually dare to act ugly in a place like this!" When Wang Qianzhi saw this scene, the DNA in his bones directly encouraged him to laugh.
The sounds around him didn't seem to affect Li Xiang, and he never took his eyes away from the old man in Zhongshan.
"How's it going, old man?"
The old man took a look at Li Xiang and found that this boy had a calm expression, a confident appearance, and was confident. In the face of so many ridicules, he still insisted on communicating with himself. He couldn't help but feel a little interested in his heart, and asked,
"Boy, why do you think you can change it?"
"I don't know, but my feelings can be changed." Li Xiang said, neither humble nor overbearing.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area started to boil.
"Is he sick? How did he get let in?"
"It's taking everyone's time, let's go!"
"That 9590 bandage boy, are you interested in calligraphy and painting? I bought a pair of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy from the antique market. How about exchanging it for your saffron?"
The dignitaries around him felt confused and didn't know where Li Xiang got his confidence. He took out a Buddhist bead bought from an unknown street stall and tried to exchange it for someone else's snow lotus. They felt that he had a mental problem.
It's not as good as Wang Qianzhi's top-quality saffron to attract their attention.
"Just based on feeling, why?"
But the old man seemed to be greatly interested in Li Xiang's determination, and his expression gradually became more serious.
"Because I exchanged it for Kaiyuan Cream, so it won't be bad."
When the old man heard the words ‘Kaiyuan ointment’, he suddenly became excited, “Boy, what did you say? Did you use Kaiyuan ointment in exchange for it?”
"Yes."
"Boy, are you a person who refines medicine? Or do you come from a family that refines medicine?"
Li Xiang was a little overwhelmed when the old man suddenly grabbed his hand.
"No, it's not."
Only then did the old man calm down.
Also, how could a boy be a medicine refining person? How could a family of medicine refining dress like this?
The old man coughed and shouted loudly, "Where is the reviewer? Show me if the thing he has on his hand can be exchanged for my snow lotus, show me!"
With such a roar, everyone gathered at Wang Qianzhi's exhibition cabinet looked over.
Wang Qianzhi looked at Gu Taozhi, looking at Li Xiang without blinking, with a look that seemed to be unconditional trust.
Wang Qianzhi felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest, feeling so depressed that he felt panicked, and his mood instantly hit rock bottom.
He struggled through the crowd and came to Gu Taozhi, "Taozhi, what do you want? As long as you ask, I will buy it for you!"
"Thank you for your kindness, no need."
Gu Taozhi said calmly without even looking at him.
Wang Qianzhi immediately became anxious and grabbed Gu Taozhi's hand, "Taozhi, when did I become worse than a delivery boy?!"
"What's wrong with the delivery boy? You can make enough food and clothing by yourself, what's not as good as you?" Gu Taozhi looked at Wang Qianzhi and said expressionlessly, "Also, don't hold other people's hands without their consent."
Gu Taozhi's attitude made Wang Qianzhi so angry that he almost fell to the ground. How could a dignified young master of the Wang family in the capital be worse than a food deliveryman?
"Then I don't believe that Prime Minister Li can exchange for that snow lotus!" Wang Qianzhi was burning with jealousy and gritted his teeth.
At this time, a fat man wearing half-gold glasses came to Li Xiang, holding a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
At this time, people around him gathered around again. I don't know how this weird and grumpy old man called the auditor over.
The auditor just glanced at the Buddhist beads in Li Xiang's hand and came to a conclusion. He said to the old man with some embarrassment,
"Hello, old man, this prayer bead is made of rosewood without any processing and polishing, so it has no luster, color, water lines and veins. It is a rather failed prayer bead, but it can still be sold at a good price after some professional treatment.
"
Obviously, the last sentence was to take care of Li Xiang's face, because he would not define a person who can come to the auction based on his appearance.
As soon as the conclusion came out, everyone around them laughed out loud. They had been mentally prepared for it, but this old man still didn't give up.
"Haha, I just said, it's actually better than I expected. Is the rosewood okay? Haha." Wang Qianzhi felt relieved, and the stone in his heart fell.
"Can you please take a closer look?"
Li Xiang handed over the Buddhist beads and insisted.
This prayer bead is the only thing in the trunk that Li Xiang considers to be relatively valuable.
But he didn't believe that the other party's prominent family would give something too cheap.
Probably...
"Uh, this..."
The review director hesitated. Wasn't this Chun Chun questioning his ability and slapping himself in the face?
"This guy just told you to take it and you just took it. He just took a few glances and made a conclusion? I paid tens of thousands of yuan in handling fees and you have this attitude towards your work?"
The old man from Zhongshan swore loudly and seemed not to let go, "Besides, I have been playing with Buddhist beads for so many years, and I have never seen rosewood taken out and worn without polishing. Moreover, I have thirteen Buddhist beads, and this string only has twelve."
,Where are the Buddhist beads?!"
The scolding suddenly caused the surrounding dignitaries to gradually frown and their expressions gradually tightened. It seemed that it was not as simple as it seemed?
There are usually thirteen Buddhist beads, not to mention that they are not made of rosewood. If they are not polished, they will lose money. Who would engage in such a loss-making business?
"Okay, okay, old man, don't worry, I'll take a look again!"
The audit director wiped cold sweat and took the beads with fear.
He can't afford to offend everyone present, he is just a part-time worker
"This prayer beads is so heavy!"
As soon as the audit director took the beads, he felt something was wrong.
How can ordinary Buddhist beads be so heavy?
"Is this Mu Zhongyu?!" After the review director looked at it carefully, his expression suddenly changed.
"What is Mu Zhongyu? Please speak clearly clearly."
"This jade in wood is made of jade wrapped with wood, also known as a blockbuster!" The review director looked excited and said with trembling Buddha beads in his hands,
"During the production, the jade is wrapped with high-quality wood, and the jade is nourished by the wood. It does not show its edge and waits for the years. It is a kind of sustenance and expectation, waiting for the day when the wood will be opened. This is the origin of the blockbuster!"
"Most people would not do this kind of thing, because they want to find the right wood to wrap the right jade, and no one knows whether the value of the jade is worthy of the wood before making it, not to mention that this skill is inherently
It’s extremely complicated!”
The review director spoke excitedly, and everyone suddenly realized that they had never heard of the concept of "wood in jade". Being mentioned like this aroused endless curiosity.
Today, it was an eye-opener for them.
Almost everyone focused on the unattractive and disheveled Li Xiang.
Except for Wang Qianzhi, whose face was pale and his lips were trembling, he never expected that an ordinary string of Buddhist beads could develop to such an extent!
"Little brother, can you open the jade for you on the spot? This way I can easily estimate the value of your Buddhist beads." The audit director said seriously.
"Open." Li Xiang nodded.
The audit director immediately called two staff members and hurried over carrying a white cloth plate.
The audit director gently placed the beads on the plate, put on white gloves, and struck them carefully with a tool.
"Pa"
Because it has not been polished and has been around for a long time, the beads are quite brittle, and a crack will appear if you tap them lightly.
"It's so fragile. It seems that the jade inside has been impeccably maintained by the rosewood."
The audit director couldn't hold back his excitement. This was the first time he had opened Mu Zhongyu since he started in this industry, and it would be a bragging rights for him in the future!
"Papa pa pa"
After the second knock, the rosewood fell out layer by layer like an egg shell. Under the light of the flashlight, a dazzling green light bloomed from it!
"Emperor Emerald Green!?"
The audit director screamed and almost knocked over the plate with excitement!
He even took off his assistant's flashlight and took off his glasses, and his eyes nearly popped out!
The first Buddhist bead that was carved out of wood is now a small jadeite bead no bigger than a thumb. It is fine in texture and round and smooth in appearance. The green light inside is glittering and translucent, and the green threads are suspended. It is so beautiful!
Even a layman like Li Xiang was stunned. The whole piece is flawless, natural, and extremely transparent. It is the best among jadeite and even the best!
"Where!? Imperial Green?!"
"Young man, you must trade with me. If Mom sells batches, you must trade with me!"
"Young man, you have to trade with me. In addition to giving you everything, I can also make up for the price! You must trade with me!"
"Young man, I want my wife in my dreams. You can ask whatever you want, and you can make whatever conditions you want! Please, you must change with me!"
For a moment, everyone present rushed towards Li Xiang, and the dignitaries around him were more excited and enthusiastic than the other.
Compared with Wang Qianzhi, who was so prosperous just now, it pales into insignificance!
Wang Qianzhi's face was ashen, as cold as cold water pouring on his head. Seeing Gu Taozhi's face beaming with joy, and the love and pride unconsciously revealed in his eyebrows, his cold heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp knife!
Facing dignitaries with accents from all over the country, Li Xiang was a little at a loss and became a little nervous.
He has never dealt with so many people, especially these rich and powerful people.
But Li Xiang knew that this was in exchange for snow lotus. He took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions and asked,
"Director, may I ask how much this Buddhist bead is worth?"
"There is a price but no market, but if I had to put a price on it, I would say one million or so."
The review director put on his glasses again and pretended to be calm.
"More than a million? Then there are more than a dozen Buddhist beads here." Li Xiang's heart was filled with confusion, and he did not dare to think about it anymore. He walked straight to the old man in Zhongshan and said with sincere eyes,
"Old man, can I exchange this snow lotus with you now?"
quiet!
As soon as Li Xiang said these words, all the dignitaries who had been arguing just now and almost got into a fight fell silent.
The noisy scene just now turned into silence at this moment.
Everyone looked at Li Xiang in disbelief.
Not to mention that the price of this imperial jadeite is higher than that of the snow lotus. In terms of value alone, it is already a million miles away, and it is beyond the reach of even half a try.
The old man from Zhongshan was a little bit unconscious. He looked at Li Xiang in surprise, as if he were looking at a freak, and frowned and said,
"This thing of yours is so valuable, why would you exchange it for me? Are you really sick? Your jadeite is worth more than my snow lotus! I was bluffing you before, and that snow lotus is worth a million!"
Li Xiang did not expect that the old man was such a naughty boy, so he persisted in asking,
"A gentleman's words are hard to catch, so how can a man have any reason to regret it?"
"Boy, are you serious?"
"really!"
"Haha, good boy."
The old man's eyes were stunned, and after staring at Li Xiang for a few seconds, he suddenly burst into hearty and hearty laughter.
Then, he picked up the jade bracelet on the plate, tossed it and walked out the door.
Everyone was staring at the imperial jade in the old man's hand, fearing that it would break accidentally.
"Pack all the snow lotus, lingzhi, cordyceps, ginseng and a few pieces of ambergris in my display cabinet to this boy. Give him all the things in this auction! How can I take advantage of a kid?"
The old man's high-pitched words were like thunder that exploded in everyone's ears. What happened at today's auction was like a wave!
"What!? So many medicinal materials in exchange for imperial jade? Isn't this an exchange of things for things?"
"Yes, doesn't that kid want a piece of snow lotus?"
"Is this old man sick? The value of so many medicinal materials must be much higher than a bunch of imperial jade. Do you need to replace it? It's really unbelievable. Why is this?!"
You know, for those who seek medicine, the value of these old medicinal materials in saving lives is far greater than a string of jade!
At this moment, a whole wave of uninhibited laughter burst out from the exit of the passage,
