Chapter 1044 Play a big one

Chen Xiaoyan and the others couldn't understand the technical terms, so Li Mo said a few more words: "The best quality ruby ​​is pigeon blood ruby. This is a natural gemstone and is very valuable. Are the rubies sold by many jewelry companies fake? This statement is not correct. The grade of gemstones is mainly due to the various impurities contained in them. Unfired refers to natural ones. Those that have been burned to remove some impurities are processed after the day after tomorrow, but they are also real rubies, which are completely different from the synthetic ones. It's two concepts."

"The ruby ​​jewelry I picked out just now is only inferior in quality to the ring, and the rest are all pigeon blood rubies. A set will cost over one hundred thousand."

Li Mo seemed to be just talking about a number, and the people who followed him were used to it. A million dollars for him is like a dime for others.

In the past, there was a saying when opening an antique store that it would not open for three years, but it would last for three years after opening, because the added value of antiques is too high, and you can get rich overnight if you understand antiques.

Li Mo wandered around the other alleys again, but he didn't find anything worth buying.

"Little uncle, there are too many people here, and it's hard to squeeze in. Shall we squeeze in with them?"

Li Mo looked at the time, it is estimated that [-] out of [-] people came purely to join in the fun.This place is not like the antique festivals in other places, they are all held together with the food festival, and there is no delicious food here, so what's the point of just crowding around for fun.

These people are too boring.

"Duoji, besides this open square, are there other antique streets nearby?"

Tashi Dorje pointed in one direction and said: "Through that small alley is the Antique Street. Because the officials wanted to make this event bigger, they held an open-air square Antique Street here. Tourists can come here to shop for treasures, or go there Let’s go shopping in the antique street.”

"Let's go, there's no way to go shopping here. When the heat is over and there are fewer tourists, let's come back and take a look around."

Li Mo walked towards the antique street with his hands behind his back, walked through the narrow alley and entered a main road.Unexpectedly, there are many stalls on both sides of this antique street. The types of things on these stalls are more abundant, especially various wood carvings, stone carvings, and ceramics.

"Little uncle, come and take a look at this stone carving, it looks a bit old."

Chen Xiaoyan was squatting on a booth observing a stone sculpture, which was a lion.Some parts of the stone lion's body are yellow, and some parts are gray and black, as if it has experienced many hardships before it came to life.

Li Mo glanced at his steps and continued walking forward without stopping.

"I look like an antique."

Chen Xiaoyan muttered softly.

The brown bear smiled and said: "The boss once said that these kinds of things are all kinds of corrosion marks formed by splashing sulfuric acid on them."

Seeing that Chen Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed, Fu Liang quickly comforted him and said, "Maybe my uncle may be mistaken."

"Is your head flooded, and the little uncle can still see it?"

Chen Xiaoyan glared at him, hummed softly and trotted up to Li Mo who was in front.

After walking for more than ten meters, Li Mo stopped in front of a stall. The things displayed in this stall were relatively rare, and they were all pottery horses.The horses are in various poses, and the surface is faintly glazed with black.

The stall owner is an old man in his 60s, not from the snow area.He was wearing a thick cotton coat and sat curled up on a pony.

"Boss, are these all yours?"

The old man nodded, pointed to all kinds of pottery horses on the stall and said in a hoarse voice, "Look at whatever you want."

"Boss, is there any history of these horses?"

"I don't know, I bought it from a farmer in the countryside."

There are always eleven pottery horses on the stall, some with their heads flying, some bowing their heads to drink water, some looking back and neighing, each one is lifelike.

"Boss, how did you sell this one?"

"Sixty thousand."

A pottery horse was offered for [-] yuan, which sounds expensive at first glance, because no one knows the origin of these pottery horses.But Li Mo knew it well. He glanced at the old man and said with a smile: "Boss, if you bid [-] yuan, it means that you know its origin very well. Tell us. If it is really a good thing, I might pay it at this price." Think it over."

Unexpectedly, the old man just waved his hand, and didn't even bother to say anything. There is no less than 6 yuan, and he won't talk to you about a penny less.

"I want all these eleven pottery horses. You can give me a real price."

Only then did the old man look at him carefully, but unfortunately he could only see Li Mo's exposed eyes, but couldn't see his true face clearly.However, judging from the posture of several followers around him, this person's status is either rich or noble.

"The minimum is 60."

"Boss, I'll give you another [-]. Tell me where you bought this batch of pottery horses."

The old man hesitated, but still shook his head.

"can not say?"

"Three members of that family have already lost their lives."

Li Mo understood what he meant. It seems that this old man is also a person with a story, and it can be heard that he still has his own bottom line.

"Xiaoyan, transfer 60 yuan to the boss. Brown bear, arrange for someone to protect these pottery horses and carry them into the car."

Chen Xiaoyan took out her mobile phone and started to transfer money, and the rest of the people moved one after another. Eleven pottery horses of various sizes were all wrapped up for protection.

"Boss, do you have any other goods in hand?"

Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Li Mo hurriedly asked.

"No, that's all."

Seeing the old man hunched over and leaving, Chen Xiaoyan asked puzzledly: "Uncle, is there something wrong with that old man? The origin of these pottery horses is unknown?"

Li Mo took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, opened the bottle cap and poured some water on one of the pottery horses.Instead of flowing to the ground, the water was quickly absorbed by Tao Ma itself.

"These are all pottery horses from the Han Dynasty. Eleven genuine ones appeared at once. Do you think there is a problem?"

"The old man is a grave robber?"

"It's more likely."

Fu Liang touched the place where the water was poured, and it was very dry, leaving only shallow watermarks.

"Boss, is there anything to say about pouring water?"

"If it is a newly fired pottery horse, the water will flow directly to the ground. And these pottery horses that have gone through 2000 years, the water in their body has long been gone, so the water will be absorbed immediately when poured on it , Absorbed cleanly. For the identification of the authenticity of this type of antique, if you encounter it in the future, you only need a glass of water to directly judge whether it is an antique or not."

Every pottery horse of the Han Dynasty is well preserved and can be placed in a museum for display.

"Boss, do you want to investigate that old man?"

If it was obtained by tomb robbery, the Han Dynasty tomb should not be simple, otherwise eleven such intact pottery horses would not have been stolen at one time.

Li Mo thought about it and said: "Check it out. If three people in the family really died, and he is willing to tell the location of the Han tomb, there is no need to continue the investigation and get to the bottom of his responsibility."

"Little uncle, why didn't he be arrested when he committed a crime?"

Li Mo glanced at her and said calmly: "He is seriously ill, and I'm afraid he won't live long, so he will follow my instructions on this matter."

The old man must have been in the snow area for a while, otherwise he would not be able to adapt to the plateau hypoxia here due to his condition.

The brown bear took the order to do it and left temporarily.

Li Mo wanted to continue shopping, but a call came in and he stepped aside to answer it.

"uncle."

"There will be a big move at Shibin's side. For safety reasons, you should return to Yandu immediately."

"If I stay, maybe I can help him."

"You have done enough things, and you can't attribute all the credit to him alone. The credit is shared by everyone, and everyone knows it. If you stay there, a lot of credit will be invisible to you [-]% to [-]% of the points are given. We don’t care, but others will have great opinions.”

"Brother Bin, when will they do it?"

"When will you come back?"

"Just this afternoon."

"They'll find a reason to start tomorrow. The forces of all parties are ready, just waiting for you to leave the snow area."

Li Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, what's wrong with me, why is my place getting in the way of others.

"Okay, I'll go back to the hotel right away, and I'll fly in the afternoon, and it's estimated that I'll arrive at Kyoto International Airport in the middle of the night."

"Hurry up, we'll talk about other things when you come back."

There was a hint of excitement in Shi Weimin's voice. It seemed that this incident had a decisive effect on his future.

"Xiaoyan, tell everyone to return to the hotel immediately and fly back to Kyoto in the afternoon."

Chen Xiaoyan was a little surprised: "Why so suddenly?"

"We're an eyesore here."

What kind of words is this, whose eyes are in the way?But Chen Xiaoyan didn't think too much, and everyone returned to the hotel to check out.

"Duoji, thank you for being with us these few days. If you have decided to live in the plains, give me a call and I will make arrangements for you. If you change your mind, please stay and help Yanxin deal with the problems here. cause."

Tashi Dorje was very moved. He shook hands with Li Mo and said sincerely: "Parents live for their children. I decided to go to Pingyuan. When things here are settled, we will move to Qinghai first." Live for a while, and wait for the children to gradually adapt to the air pressure environment there before slowly moving to the plains."

"Okay, so, which city do you like, I will arrange the real estate for you first, and it will be my gift to your child."

"Mr. Li, thank you very much. Really, if you have any orders in the future, just one word, and I will do my best."

Li Mo patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Just live a good life with your family, and we will see you again when we have a chance."

Everyone took a plane in the afternoon to leave the snow area.

"Boss, shall we put the dog's head gold in the bank for the time being, or in a museum first?"

"Of course it's my own museum. I wanted to look for more dog's head gold, but I didn't know what happened to Expert Yu. After returning to the capital, everyone should rest for three days and calm down before dealing with this matter."

After Li Mo finished speaking, he put on the blindfold and prepared to sleep first.

"Uncle Shi, I'm going to open a Miao Daoshu martial arts class in Kyoto, what do you think?"

Li Mo took off the blindfold, turned his head to look at Fu Liang and said indifferently: "Not good?"

"Uh, uncle, do you think this is not okay?"

Fu Liang asked a little unconvinced.

"If you want to start a career, you have to set your sights higher and take a long-term perspective. Do you know why I recommended Xiaoyan to be an instructor in that place? Think about it with your head, teaching Miao Dao skills there is no better than you What kind of martial arts class has a future?"

Fu Liang was stunned speechless.

"Graduating from a famous university like you, I suspect that your college entrance examination results are fake." Li Mo sighed lightly, "Shengzhou Fujia Miao's sword skills are so dazzling now, if you don't seize the opportunity to make progress, what do you want to do? Open The matter of accepting apprentices in the martial arts class is something that your father will do, why don't you make a good start at such a young age? When you return to Yandu, I will recommend you to another place to hone your skills."

Only then did Fu Liang cheer up, he was really low-level, what a pig's brain.

"Fu Liang, sit by my side and don't disturb my uncle's rest."

Fu Liang obediently sat beside Chen Xiaoyan, and his mood suddenly became better again.

"Xiaoyan, when will you attend the graduation ceremony?"

"I want you to manage."

Chen Xiaoyan pushed back.

Li Mo sighed secretly, it seemed that he couldn't help much, whether the two of them could succeed was left to fate.Put on the blindfold and slowly enter the dream.

When the plane landed at Kyoto Airport, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night, and Chen Xiaojun brought a few people outside to meet the plane.

"Little uncle, should we go directly to Yandu's home, or stay in the capital?"

"I have something to do at my grandfather's house during the day, so send me to the hotel to rest for a few hours."

"Ok."

Chen Xiaojun personally drove him to a big hotel nearby, and left the Rolls Royce for him to use during the day.

When Li Mo woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. After washing up, he checked out of the room and drove towards the courtyard.Knowing that he has returned to the capital, Mr. Qin, Uncle Qin and his uncle are all waiting for him in the courtyard.

"Mom, you're here too."

When Li Mo walked into the courtyard, he saw Shi Yi walking slowly in the courtyard with her grandmother in his arms.

"Your grandfather and the others are waiting for you, go in quickly."

In the study room, Mr. Shi and Mr. Qin were drinking tea, while Qin Weiguo and Shi Weimin were talking quietly.

Li Mo walked into the study, and the second elder immediately put down the teacup.

"Sit here."

Li Mo sat on a single sofa next to his uncle and said with a smile: "You all look so serious, just ask if you want to know anything."

"Based on your estimate, how much gold reserves does that newly discovered gold vein have?"

Shi Lao reached out and poured him a cup of tea, staring into his eyes and asking.

"Grandpa, aren't you embarrassing me too much? I'm just an expert in appraising treasures, not an expert in geological and mineral exploration. I just report what I see."

"Can you tell me about your first impression?"

After pondering, Li Mo said, "The reserves of gold are very large, perhaps even larger than we imagined."

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"No, what exactly do you mean?" Li Mo asked a little confused, why couldn't he understand.

"Your premonition has always been accurate. You said that the gold reserves will be very large, so the result must be like that. This time, we will do big things in the snow area and completely deal with decades of grievances. This policy is me and you Qin. Grandpa proposed it together, and several other old brothers also supported it, so the higher-ups decided to play a big one."
