The first thousand one hundred and seventy-six chapters
After reaching an agreement with Chen Guitian, Ye Ming took out a jade pendant with a Buddha statue from his bag, handed it to Chen Guitian, and said with a smile: "Captain Chen, this is a small pendant that a friend of mine brought from Myanmar. The gift is a jade Buddha carved from the best Laokeng jade in Myanmar. There is a saying that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. I know your daughter has just been admitted to college. This jade Buddha is a mascot for her. , please pass it to her."
Chen Guitian took the jade Buddha and looked at it carefully. He also laughed and said, "Director Ye, this is still a small gift. Although I am a layman in jade identification, I have heard many experts explain it during the case handling process. Some knowledge on how to identify jade, such as this Burmese old pit jade with such a fine appearance and fine carvings, if you buy it in a jade shop, it will cost at least 100,000 yuan."
Having said this, he glanced at Ye Ming meaningfully and asked with a smile: "Brother, tell the truth: Is your jade-bearing friend Gong Zhichao? According to the gossip I got, Gong Zhichao has been hiding in the past few years. In Myanmar, we sometimes lived on the southwest border. However, considering his special relationship with your brother, even if we got the information, we did not arrange for anyone to hunt him down. He should have brought this jade pendant here. Yeah, hahaha."
Ye Ming knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden from Chen Guitian, who had many years of criminal investigation experience, so he also smiled heartily and said: "Captain Chen, I have dealt with Gong Zhichao for many years, and I know this person's character very well: although he has been in * He has been a prostitute, but he is extremely righteous and never betrays his friends. Therefore, even if this jade is given by Gong Zhichao, you can treat it as a small gift. There is no need to worry about it. To be honest: such a jade pendant, I still have a few pieces here, and you should know my character: If you are not a true good friend or a trustworthy person, I will never accept this jade pendant, so just accept it. That’s right, there’s no need to worry about it.”
Chen Guitian nodded and said: "Director Ye, I will not accept things from others, but if I don't accept the gift you gave me, it would seem a bit artificial and pretentious. Therefore, I will accept this jade pendant and thank you at the same time. You and your friend."
At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and lowered his voice and said to Ye Ming: "Director Ye, let me tell you a secret: Our Director Guo is an expert in jade and has a special liking for jade. However, He is a very honest person. If ordinary friends give him jade, he will never accept it. Most of the jade in his home collection is bought with his own money. However, since his own salary is only so much, he also He doesn’t take money from unknown sources. Therefore, his jade articles are all relatively low-end and rarely have high-end items that exceed 10,000 yuan. Since you have a few jade pendants here, you can take them to him for appreciation. If he likes it, just give him a piece or two, and when appreciating the jade, you can mention Gong Zhichao to him by the way, that would be better."
Ye Ming originally had this idea, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will follow Captain Chen's instructions."
The next night, Ye Ming called Guo Guangwei, asked him to have tea, and told him that a friend of his had brought back some pieces of Laokeng jade from Myanmar. Captain Chen said that Secretary Guo had considerable knowledge in jade. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to appreciate the appearance and fineness of jade, so when the time comes, he will ask Secretary Guo to look at the texture of the jade pendants and judge their value.
As Chen Guitian said: Guo Guangwei is a workaholic and doesn't have many hobbies. Apart from reading, his biggest hobby is appreciating jade. Therefore, when he heard Ye Ming say that a friend from Myanmar brought him After buying a few jade pendants carved from Laokeng jade and inviting him to appreciate them, he immediately became interested and hurriedly agreed.
As soon as Guo Guangwei entered the tea house's box, he couldn't wait to say to Ye Ming: "Xiaoye, show me your treasure quickly. You just said that your jade pendants are all carved from Laokeng jadeite in Myanmar. If it is true, It's Burmese Laokeng jade, which is a very valuable thing. It's not only valuable, but also has high value for appreciation and collection. By the way, what kind of friend is this of yours? Does he often travel back and forth to the jade-producing places in Myanmar? If it is convenient, please ask him to bring me some jade."
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Secretary Guo, please take a look at these things of mine before talking."
After saying that, he took out a green jade Guanyin from his bag and handed it to Guo Guangwei, asking him to taste it.
Guo Guangwei took the jadeite Guanyin, held it in his hand and stroked it with his eyes slightly closed, feeling the warmth of the jadeite. Then, he lifted it up, put it under the light, and carefully observed the contents inside the jadeite. He looked at the texture and color, and then exclaimed: "Xiaoye, this is truly top-grade product. Jade with this kind of texture is difficult to buy even in the southwest border near Myanmar. If you go to the mainland, this jade Guanyin costs at least 50,000 yuan, which I still underestimate."
Ye Ming said: "Secretary Guo, I don't know anything about things like jade, so I invited you here today just to show me what these jade pendants are like. I still have several pieces here. , please show it to me too."
With that said, he took out all the jade pendants in his bag and placed them in front of Guo Guangwei.
Guo Guangwei's eyes widened when he saw these pieces of high-quality jade, which were either blood red, green, or golden purple. He couldn't wait to pick up one of the glass natural fluorescent jade fish jade pendants called "Lian Zhong San Yuan" and held it in front of his eyes. Appreciate it carefully: this piece of jadeite that emits natural fluorescence is carved into the shape of a fish. On the belly of the fish, there are three raised circles connected together, which means "three yuan in a row", and this The meaning of the fish is "more than enough every year". The value of Myanmar Laokeng jadeite like this is exquisitely crafted, auspicious and of high quality.
So, he said to Ye Ming in a slightly envious tone: "Xiaoye, each of these jade pendants of yours are of the highest quality, especially this jade pendant that won three yuan in a row. It is a rare jade article that is rare to see. I won't hide it from you. Said: I have also collected some jade articles, including some good jade, but any of your jade pendants is better than my best collection. Therefore, you should collect these things carefully to avoid the potential appreciation in the future. It is estimated that you should also thank your friend. He can bring you so many high-quality jadeite at one time, which shows that his friendship with you is extraordinary."
Ye Ming nodded happily and suddenly said: "Secretary Guo, since you like these small objects so much, please choose two or three from here to take home for collection. You are an expert in this field, and I have got this good jade in your hands." It can be better maintained inside, don’t you think so?”
