"Sir, what do you want to buy?" The clerk in the antique shop saw someone coming in and asked.
"Well, let me just take a look first." The visitor said.
"Okay, you can take a look at it as you like. If you like anything, just call me and I can explain it to you." The waiter said politely.
The antique shop here is close to tourist attractions, and Xi'an is the ancient capital where thirteen dynasties once established their capitals. There is an endless stream of tourists coming here. Most of the goods in the store are handicrafts for tourists.
Buy it back as a souvenir. There are also really good things, but they are less common than those found on street stalls. This is a very strange phenomenon.
"Man, is your boss here?" the man who came in just now asked the man.
"Here, do you have anything to do with our boss?" The clerk was confused as to why he was looking for the boss so early in the morning.
"I have something I want to sell. Go and call your boss." The man explained.
"sell things?"
"What's wrong? Don't you want to accept it?" the man asked doubtfully.
"No, no, just wait a moment, I'll call the boss for you right now." The waiter agreed and hurried upstairs.
Within a moment, I saw a fat man walking down behind the waiter.
"Hello, hello, our little guy said, you have something to sell, right?"
As the boss spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook it with the man.
"Well... Is there a quiet place? Let's talk somewhere else," the man said.
"Huh? That's fine." The boss hesitated for a moment and then agreed. Since we want to change the place of negotiation, it proves that this person has good things and his wealth is not revealed. Everyone knows this.
"Please come upstairs." After saying that, the boss led the way, followed closely by the man. He didn't forget to look back before going upstairs, for fear that someone would be staring at him.
"Come on, please take a seat." The boss said to the man. "I heard that you have something to sell. Can you show it to me?"
The man looked around warily, as if he were a thief.
"Haha, don't worry, brother, there is no one else upstairs except the two of us." The boss saw the man's worry and said with a smile.
The man smiled sheepishly and said, "Sorry, you're just kidding me. This is a family heirloom. It's been passed down by my ancestors for more than two thousand years. If I didn't need money urgently, I wouldn't be willing to sell it. Hey,
I’m afraid my ancestors will blame me.”
"Oh? What is it?" When the boss heard about something that was almost two thousand years old, he immediately became interested. He has seen things that are one hundred years old, and even those that are five hundred years old. No matter how old they are, they are all historical relics.
It's on display in the museum.
The man carefully took out a small box from his pocket and placed it on the table, then opened it gently, as if with a little force, the contents inside would disappear.
"What is this?" The boss saw a ball as big as a fist placed in the box, just like the two Tai Chi Qiu people often grab in their hands. But there was only one.
"Night Pearl." The man whispered.
This man turned out to be Liang Jun who entered the underground palace with Qin Shaojie.
He had never experienced anything like that. He was so frightened that he couldn't sleep well all night, but when he thought about getting a night pearl, his worries had already gone to Java. As long as he didn't talk nonsense, he would be able to live well.
of.
Early in the morning, as soon as the antique city opened, he took the Night Pearl and prepared to sell it so that he no longer had to do the work of a private tour guide.
A luminous pearl that is more than two thousand years old can be sold for a lot of money.
"Night Pearl?" the boss asked, obviously not believing that this thing is a Night Pearl. I've never seen a Night Pearl before, such a big one? Damn, you don't do it deliberately for fun, do you?
Seeing that his boss didn't believe it, Liang Jun said to him, "Pull the curtains and close the door."
The boss knew that he wanted to verify for him that this was a real night pearl, so he got up and obeyed.
The curtains were thick velvet curtains. As soon as they were closed, the room suddenly became dark.
Liang Jun slowly opened the box. He saw that the beads, which were dim just now, suddenly shone brightly, and the whole room was illuminated.
"...This, this is the real Night Pearl." The boss looked at the Night Pearl and murmured.
He is almost 50 years old this year and has been running an antique shop for more than 20 years. He has seen many night pearls, but this is the first time he has seen such a big one.
"How's it going? How much is this worth?" Liang Jun looked at the boss's surprised expression and knew that the price was definitely not low.
"I said...brother, is this really passed down from your ancestors?" the boss looked at Liang Jun and asked.
"Is that still wrong? Let me tell you, my ancestor was Qin Shihuang's general who commanded the army. Have you seen the movie "The Myth"? Yes, it's the Meng Yi played by Jackie Chan. My ancestor had that official position."
"Then...this thing is?"
"Haha" Liang Jun smiled and said, "This pearl at night was once when Emperor Qin went out for a quick trip and was assassinated. My ancestor tried his best to save him and saved Emperor Qin. This pearl was given to my ancestor by Emperor Qin."
." When Liang Jun made up the story, he told it clearly and with a proud expression, as if it was really his family's business.
The boss stood up, opened the curtains, made two more cups of tea, and then said, "Brother, to be honest, I can't afford to put this thing away."
"Can't afford it? Brother, tell the truth, how much is this thing worth?" When Liang Jun heard his boss say he couldn't afford it, he knew that the value of this bead had exceeded his imagination. Before he came in the morning
, after checking some information, this fist-sized luminous pearl is worth about 7-8 million.
"To be honest, judging by the size and luster of this thing, your thing is worth at least about 15 million. However, this thing is a cultural relic. It's hard to say its value. It doesn't matter if it's tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
Exaggeration, but this has to go through an auction. If you are in urgent need of money, just find a buyer directly and get a fixed price. If you want to make more money, go to the auction house." The boss can't afford this night pearl, just one bead.
, which is several times the assets of his store.
After listening to the boss's words, Liang Jun was already overwhelmed with excitement. He didn't expect that he almost lost his life this time. This bead given to him would be worth so much money. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Nothing in this life.
If you don't do anything, you'll just eat, drink and have fun, which you won't be able to spend all your time on.
"Well..., do you think you can help me contact the auction house?" Liang Jun thought for a while and felt that it would be better to auction it. After all, it's just this one, and it's gone if it's sold. It's always good to make more money.
Who would mind having too much money?
"Okay, brother, you have opened my eyes. I have been in the industry for more than 20 years and this is the first time I have seen such a big luminous pearl. I will help you contact the auction." The boss readily agreed.
As the saying goes, what you do is what you love. Since he opened an antique shop, his love for antiques is not the slightest bit. This time I was lucky enough to see this pearl of the night. Although I couldn't afford it, it would always be beneficial to help him.
