Collection of Gods

Chapter 973 Jade Unicorn

In the past, Qian Cheng and others were always showing off to others, saying that the family business was too large to be fully controlled, that the family trust only gave them tens of millions of pocket money each year, that there were too many women around them but they only loved my money, etc. It was not until today that they realized how sour and satisfying it was to be shown off in front of others.

Afraid of poverty?

Have you ever been fucking poor?!
Tang Yuan didn’t know what everyone was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely speak up for himself: Hey, you know what, I was really poor before!

If he had not been really poor, he would not have worked so hard in his previous life, and he would not have died suddenly in the office before he could enjoy his success.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and Xie Chengrun, Wang Longze and others soon arrived at the main hall of Qiexiangzhai. Judging from the many tea tables, this should be a place for tasting tea and entertaining guests. In the center of the main hall, there was a calligraphy scroll hanging.

"Eh?"

“Isn’t this a copy of the Preface to the Lanting Poems?”

"You hung this copy of the Lanting Preface here?"

Xie Chengrun witnessed the whole process of how Tang Yuan purchased the copy of "Lanting Xu" from the King of Thailand, so when he saw the calligraphy in Zhengtang, he immediately told its origin.

"Is this the copy of the Lanting Preface that Dayuan bought from the King of Thailand?"

Lin Ziyang was unable to go abroad due to his status at the time, so he had only heard of this copy of "Lanting Xu" slightly: "Even if it is a copy, it must be worth at least hundreds of millions for the King of Thailand to value it so much, right?"

"According to expert estimates, it's closer to 200 million."

Xie Chengrun stood in front of the copybook with his arms folded, and responded with a smile.

"I'm a good boy..."

“Nearly 200 million worth of calligraphy is just hanging here?”

Lin Ziyang secretly sighed and said, "Just now we thought that the most expensive things here were these rosewood furniture. Now it seems that all the rosewood furniture added together cannot compare to this half of a calligraphy copybook."

Because Wang Yayuan was pregnant, Qian Cheng and Wang Yayuan did not move forward. They stood beside Tang Yuan. Qian Cheng turned his head and asked Tang Yuan, "Dayuan, you hang this calligraphy worth nearly 200 million yuan here. Aren't you afraid of being noticed by others?"

"Brother Cheng, don't worry."

"Don't be fooled by the thin and transparent glass on the surface of this calligraphy. In fact, this thing that looks like glass is a new type of glass material recently developed by a domestic research institute. The material is named AM-III."

"According to professionals, AM-III is the hardest material in the world. The Vickers hardness of AM-III is 113 GPa, while the highest Vickers hardness of natural diamond is only 100 GPa. It is nearly 100 times stronger than most bulletproof glass."

"Let's not talk about whether those scoundrels have the chance to get in here. Even if they really have the chance to come here, I asked them to drill for a month, but they still couldn't drill through the glass material on the surface of this calligraphy."

Tang Yuan looked calm and confident.

"Materials science has become so advanced now?"

Qian Cheng was somewhat amazed: "With such a guarantee, we can really rest assured."

Everyone visited Qixiangzhai inside and out, and then, led by Tang Yuan, continued to walk into the manor.

During the visit, they saw the king pine tree worth more than 20 million yuan, and also saw many furniture made of rare woods. In addition, there were many antiques and curios placed everywhere like ordinary ornaments, which fully demonstrated the low-key charm of Chinese luxury.

Finally, they came to the core location of the private manor, which is where the owner of the manor rests and lives on a daily basis. The exterior is in pure Chinese style, while the interior is decorated in a neo-Chinese modern style. It has five floors in total and a total area of ​​nearly three thousand square meters.

There are many functional areas, including an indoor cinema, indoor gym, indoor private swimming pool, etc., and all of them are of world-class standards. Qian Cheng and others were amazed again and again.

Well... to be precise, they couldn't stop exclaiming in amazement from the moment they entered the manor. Outside, they were all top dignitaries with prominent statuses, but here they were like country boys who had never seen the world.

"Chengrun, do you remember the incident in Bangkok last year when an unscrupulous businessman mobilized the Thai police to try to replace the jadeite I bought with real jade?"

During the visit, Tang Yuan suddenly turned around and told Xie Chengrun about this matter.

"Remember!"

Xie Chengrun nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, you were so fierce at that time that you actually controlled the Thai police. If the 191st Special Operations Brigade had not been patrolling nearby, the situation would not have developed to such an extent."

"garrulous……"

"Look, this is the jadeite that was mined from the largest jadeite rough stone."

When Tang Yuan led them to turn again and step into the main hall, Tang Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the lifelike, vivid, huge jade unicorn in the center of the main hall, and said to Xie Chengrun and others.

That’s right, this jade qilin was carved from the legendary imperial green jadeite raw stone. It took several master craftsmen half a year and countless efforts to carve it.

Qilin is a beast of good fortune and also a guardian beast of the house.

As long as it is placed properly, it has many wonderful uses and benefits from the perspective of Feng Shui.

"I rely on!"

“This color!”

"Is this the Imperial Green Emerald?!"

"Such a large imperial green emerald, am I blind?"

Before Xie Chengrun could say anything, Yao Lei was the first to exclaim in amazement. His eyes widened slightly, and he rushed to the Jade Unicorn like the wind. His expression was exceptionally wonderful.

"Brother Lei, you have good eyesight."

Tang Yuan smiled and praised, confirming Yao Lei's guess.

At this moment, Xie Chengrun also reacted. He looked at Tang Yuan in disbelief: "Brother Yuan, this big piece of imperial green jadeite was mined from the jadeite rough stone you bought that night?!"

"It's true."

Tang Yuan smiled and nodded.

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, Xie Chengrun couldn't help but take a breath.

Last year, the Zhonghe Charity Foundation was established. At the Zhonghe Charity Auction that evening, the imperial green dragon and phoenix pendant donated by Tang Yuan was sold for 4.4 million yuan. This shows how precious the imperial green jadeite is.

However, the lifelike and huge jade qilin in front of them was actually made entirely of imperial green jadeite. This overwhelming shock made Yao Lei and others almost speechless.

They looked at the Jade Unicorn in front of them and felt as if a golden mountain was right before their eyes, and within their reach...
