When my grandfather picked up the jade pendant home, his father was only fifteen or sixteen years old. In another ten years, Master Fan was born. The jade pendant became his toy when he was a child. Fortunately, it was not broken. Until after the reform and opening up, Fan
The master realized that this thing might be valuable, so he carefully put it away and did not continue to be a toy for Xiao Fan.
Now that we are in urgent need of money, Lao Fan turned out the jade pendant from the cabinet and went to Xiangwang Nong. It is a jade trading and processing distribution center across the country. He asked acquaintances to ask several stores, but many of them wanted to buy it.
, but the highest bid is only 300,000. In fact, this price is already acceptable to insiders. A jade pendant of unknown origin is mainly based on the material and knife workmanship, and it is not certain what precious antique it has passed down from generation to generation.
If it were Cheng Tianle, of course he knew the value of this jade pendant, but the people who collected the jade would not think so. Some people may not understand that the age of jade is difficult to identify because it is a stone itself, even if it is a high technology.
The detection method determines the geological age formed by this stone. Any stone may have a history of billions of years.
Jade artifacts of origin can be seen with other artifacts or documentary records that accompany it when it was unearthed. The so-called ancient jade mainly looks at the various marks left when burying and the hands left by collectors of all generations. If these marks are used, they are left with them.
It is not obvious, so it needs to be distinguished from the material, processing technology, whether there is a signature of the jade carving master and the authenticity. As the saying goes, gold is pricey and jade is priceless, which is the reason.
The material of this jade pendant is very good, and it is said to be very close to the standard of mutton fat. There is no sign of the jade carver on it, and it is not obvious which famous artist was written by, but the carving process is also good. The price of jade is not as expected by laymen.
Exaggeratedly, 300,000 is already much more expensive than gold of the same size, but unfortunately it is not enough.
Even if I sold this jade pendant and the old couple's savings of more than 200,000 yuan, it would be not enough to pay the down payment for my son to buy a house in Shanghai. Will I be able to move to live with my son again?
Pay some down payment; or just sell the house and keep the jade pendant in your hand as a care capital just in case? Master Fan is upset about these things.
It was more than 3:00 p.m. It was the time for the hotel staff to rest and have tea. Master Fan also sat in the lobby and chatted with several waiters, obviously absent-minded. At this moment, he was having fun all day long.
Here comes.
Mr. Cheng has rarely come to Menghu Meifrog Hotel recently. Even if he has been to have dinner a few times occasionally, the waiters cannot recognize him. The chefs and waiters in the hotel are already very mobile, and almost all new people have been replaced in recent years.
Zi Hao and Wu Xiaoxi didn't know where to go to play, and Liu Shujun was not there. When Cheng Tianle walked in, only Master Fan and a chef stood up and said, "Mr. Cheng, long time no see, why are you here now?"
If you don’t have to hurry up, no one will be there to find someone. Cheng Tianle said to Master Fan: “I specially chose this time to come here. I know you are not busy now. I have something to ask you to discuss whether you can go to the private room upstairs.
Talk for a while?"
Master Fan said in surprise: "Mr. Cheng, you are such a big boss now. Recently, I heard that you have become the chairman of the research association and have become a celebrity in the cultural world. What else can I find as a chef?
...Xiao Zuo, I'll make a pot of good tea for me and bring it upstairs. I'll talk to Mr. Cheng for a while. You guys should all learn from Mr. Cheng. They also went out of our hotel back then!"
The waiter and the chef then realized that the visitor was the famous Cheng Tianle! After working in this restaurant for a few months four years ago, he later became a sensational figure on Suzhou Road. He first became the general manager and was also called by people.
Master Cheng is now the chairman of the research association! It seems that Menghu Meifrog Hotel is really hidden and you can't even underestimate the miscellaneous work. After Cheng goes upstairs, everyone gathers together to discuss.
When closing the door in the private room, Master Fan said, "Lele, you have a great future now, and it is rare to remember to come back and see me."
This sound of "Lele" made Cheng Tianle feel very warm in his heart and said ashamed: "I have been too busy recently and have never come to see you specifically. In recent years, I have only come to have a few meals in a hurry. Today, I have been doing this.
I remembered to find you because I had something to do."
Master Fan: "I was curious about it! You have such great skills now that you have anything to come to me? Do you want to hold a private banquet at home?"
Cheng Tianle took out a piece of white paper with the jade pendant painted on it. Both sides were clearly outlined, and placed it in front of Master Fan and said, "Do you know this jade pendant?"
Master Fan was stunned. After a moment of reaction, he said excitedly: "Of course I know this. This is the heirloom left by my grandfather!...I'm so sorry, a little private matter in my family actually shocked you.
I came to me specifically. The reason why I didn't tell Boss Wu was that I didn't want him to think that I wanted to borrow money, and I could still solve my own affairs."
Master Fan immediately misunderstood when he saw this picture. He took the jade pendant to ask for the price a few days ago, and left photo information for several jade stores. He said a few words to other chefs while cooking in the kitchen, thinking that
Cheng Tianle also heard that he came here specially for his family affairs.
In Master Fan’s impression, Tianle is very righteous. Not to mention anything else, she only worked for a few months at the Meifrog Hotel in Menghu. After that, she had a promising future, but she still had a very good relationship with Boss Wu and took special care of the hotel.
I don’t mind the business of being a choreographer here at all, which is something that ordinary people can’t do.
So he explained a few words first - why didn't he say anything when he had difficulties, but it was difficult for Mr. Cheng to come to ask. Cheng Tianle was surprised to hear Master Fan say this and quickly asked, "Did you sell that jade pendant?"
?”
When Master Fan heard this, he thought Cheng Tianle was completely aware of it. There were no outsiders anyway, so he told the situation at home, which was a pity. Finally, he said: "Mr. Cheng, don't worry, although
It's a little difficult, but it can still be done."
Cheng Tianle sighed secretly, it is really hard to recite scriptures for every family, and he has cared too little about Master Fan in recent years. He asked quietly: "Master Fan, how much does your jade pendant cost to buy it.
ah?"
Master Fan sighed and said, "After all, it is a family-born object. It has been handed down by three generations of grandparents and grandchildren. I originally planned to give it to him after my son got married. Now he needs to buy a house in Shanghai, otherwise the partner will not be able to be with him.
After all, I counted all my savings, and I still lacked 600,000. I originally expected that this heirloom could sell this number, but the highest bid was only 300,000."
Cheng Tianle smiled: "This jade pendant is indeed a treasure. How did it come about?"
Master Fan opened his mouth, and his expression seemed to be back to the innocent time of the boy, and told Cheng Tianle the story of this jade pendant. How did his grandfather pick it up? How naughty his father was back then, and he even smashed the jade pendant.
It is not easy to pick up the glass that has been smashed into someone else's house. Fortunately, they lived in bungalows at that time, so my father must have climbed through the windows and entered the house. If I had known that this thing was so valuable, I would definitely not dare to do that.
Dry!
At the end, I finally mentioned the matter of asking for the price with a jade pendant a while ago, and my smile turned into a sigh. Usually, people naturally think that things like heirlooms are valuable, and those jade vendors must have deliberately lowered the price.
Yes, in Master Fan's opinion, this jade pendant must be worth 500,000 or 600,000 or even millions! It's a pity that he has no culture and does not know how to identify, so he can only listen to the tricks of his experts.
Cheng Tianle nodded and agreed, "Yes, I think your jade pendant is definitely more than 300,000 yuan, worth at least 3 million yuan."
This seemed to be a comforting scene, but Master Fan said happily: "Yes, Mr. Cheng, you have studied abroad and are now the chairman of the Suzhou Garden Landscape Research Association. Of course, you have vision and identity.
People with culture and knowledge will not suffer such losses. But I am just a chef and don’t know anything other than cooking. If you have the chance, can you also help me identify it?"
Cheng Tianle said: "I have seen that jade pendant, and it is indeed far more than 300,000."
Master Fan's eyes lit up, and then he reacted and said, "I'm so confused. I left photos and information for several jade stores. I took them clearly from all angles. High-definition digital can be enlarged! If you didn't see it,
Carefully, how could I draw this pattern and come to me? From your perspective, how much is it worth?"
Cheng Tianle still smiled and said, "You are less than 60 years old, and you are as strong as a young man. Why are you talking about old age?... Didn't I just say that you have added a zero to the highest quotation you have encountered
, It's worth at least three million!"
Since Master Fan said happily and regretfully, "Lele, you really know how to make me happy. Even if it is worth it, someone has to buy it. Suzhou is the national jade trading center. I asked a lot of questions from acquaintances.
The goods received by the family are only 300,000 yuan at the very end. In fact, as long as I pay more than 500,000 yuan, I will sell them at that time."
