crazy smart

044: The appraisal fee mentioned by Mr. Tu for the red sandalwood carving was the day when he was fired, Bi Han and Mr. Tu brought jadeite wool to Lin Li for appraisal.Now it seems that Lin Li's opinion is very pertinent, and Mr. Tu has tasted a little bit of sweetness, otherwise how could he be so generous.

"so much!"

It has to be said that Lin Li was moved.He didn't expect this little jadeite to be sold for such a high price, it was like a pie falling from the sky.

However, Lin Li did not appear overly excited, but looked at the embarrassed Mr. Xie, showing a little hesitation.

Mr. Xie thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Tu's price is too high. I can't compete, so I have to quit."

Speaking of this, Mr. Xie also stood up, and congratulated while extending his hand: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, your business this time will definitely become a hot topic in the antique street."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Lin Li shook hands with Mr. Xie and expressed his satisfaction.

Then Mr. Xie left and said: "Everyone, I still have something to do, so I will leave first. But I will let someone receive you, if you need anything, you can talk to her."

After speaking, Mr. Xie left without looking back.

"mean!"

President Tu curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and invited: "Brother Lin, you really surprised me. I wonder if you want to continue drinking tea here? Or should you deal with the delivery procedures first?"

"Delivery!"

Lin Li made a choice without hesitation.

When Bi Han saw that the commission in his hand was so wasted, he felt strange.Just now Mr. Tu planned to buy a few pieces of art that he liked and bring them back to his new home in Yangcheng for decoration. He didn't want such a twists and turns to happen, which at least made Bi Han lose nearly a thousand yuan in commission.

However, Bi Han had a good attitude, he didn't show anything, and quickly forgot about it, sincerely happy for Lin Li who made a big deal.

At the urging of Mr. Tu, they quickly went to the nearest bank to transfer money.

Because it is close to the antique street, the staff of the bank are already familiar with such transactions and transfers, and they will handle them immediately.In a simple 15 minutes, everything was processed, and the transaction was formally confirmed, with legal effects.

Looking at the crazy numbers in the bank, Lin Li was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

With my father's surgery fee, my own college expenses, and my sister's future education fees, and even college expenses are all here.Lin Li can even add some practical things to his home, such as refrigerators and computers.

In short, the Lin family has truly escaped poverty.

Mr. Tu was also a little excited.

He knew that with the current market price, this piece of jadeite was a sure-fire business, so he shook hands with Lin Li happily, and asked, "Brother Lin, I want to go to Duomingju to see the jadeite and learn about his business. Idea, I wonder if you are free to go with me?"

Lin Li hurriedly explained what he had just promised to the sculptor uncle.

Mr. Tu said regretfully: "That's a pity. But if you change your mind, please come to me at any time. The appraisal fee is easy to talk about, and you will definitely be satisfied."

Lin Li still refused.

In the end, Mr. Tu was able to bid farewell with deep regret.

His appreciation for Lin Li is direct and sincere.He even wanted to pay a lot of money to hire Lin Li regardless of the worldly vision.You must know that Lin Li's talent for gambling stones is unheard of, and if he studies it for a few more years, it will be worth it.If he can be hired first, then his jade company will be half completed, and there is no need to worry about anything.

However, he also knows that things cannot be rushed, so he has only been probing, not forcing.

Bi Han watched Mr. Tu leave, a little bit regretful, and sighed: "A Li, don't think Mr. Tu is a bit vulgar, but he is actually a very talented person. If you obey him a little bit, the salary of [-] yuan is absolutely guaranteed. not a problem."

Lin Li asked rhetorically, "Don't say it's 10 annual salary, even if it's a million, I won't go there."

Bi Han hesitated for a moment, and suddenly realized when he saw the bank card in Lin Li's hand.

But he still had to remind Lin Li: "A Li, your luck is running out, you still have to get down to business."

"Talk while you walk."

Lin Li didn't care about it, and after putting away his bank card, he walked and said, "The most important thing right now is studies. After I'm admitted to university, I'll think about business issues. But I won't work for others then. If I had a choice, I would rather start my own business, because that kind of freedom is higher and it is in line with my personality.”

To be precise, it fit Lin Li's identity.

With the game system, Lin Li is no longer an ordinary person.With his current development, with a little effort, he can definitely make a name for himself in a certain industry, why bother working for others.

Bi Han was also a little helpless.

Mr. Tu is not only a rich man in the jade business, but also a well-known collector in the coal province, so he has a lot of common topics, which makes sense with Bi Han, not to mention that he has brought Bi Han a lot of benefits.Take the recent matter of helping introduce Lin Li, for example, he received a commission of nearly 2 yuan, which is equivalent to half a year's salary of an ordinary office worker.

For such a person, Bi Han naturally wants to speak for him.If it wasn't for the good relationship between him and Lin Li, he might be directly angry.

"We have arrived."

Lin Li ignored Bi Han's words all the way.Bi Han doesn't understand now, but he will understand in the future, so don't worry.

Bi Han followed Lin Li's instructions, and his eyes lit up immediately.He was straightforward, picked up the lying cow root that Lin Li was referring to, and sighed involuntarily: "In addition to making a small amount of modification and necessary carving on the part, the focus should be on cleverly using the natural form of the root. It retains its natural characteristics and charm. Such mature techniques and skills are beyond the reach of ordinary root carvers."

"Thank you for the compliment."

When the uncle saw Lin Li coming at the appointment, he was all smiles.

But what pleased him most was Bi Han's evaluation.Over the years, he has suffered countless stares, and even his skills have been said to be worthless.Getting excellent evaluations one after another today is more comfortable than making ten deals.

"Boss, this is 300 yuan!"

Lin Li happily took out 300 yuan.

Bi Han was envious when he saw it, and said: "It's only 300 yuan, it's really a bargain, I'll also find a few pieces and collect them."

The current Bi Han can be said to be rich and powerful, and he will not rush around for a mere few tens of yuan.

Seeing that Bi Han was also moved, Lin Li smiled and pointed to a few root carvings beside him, and said, "Brother Bi Han, uncle's root carvings are very good, almost all of them are cleverly borrowed from nature, beauty is useful, and the artistic level is very high. Missed it."

"Of course."

No matter what Bi Han said, he studied archaeology, and his eyesight was not simple, so he immediately began to screen.

Lin Li was in a good mood, and felt that it would be too wasteful to just give up like this.The artistic realm of these root carvings is really not low. Not only did they cleverly borrow from nature and make beauty useful, but they also achieved the natural combination of the "strange" of natural beauty and the "smart" of artificial beauty.If these things are a little decorated, publicized, and put up for auction, it is estimated that they can fetch ten times, or even a hundred times the price.

Bi Han picked up a root carving with a strange shape and asked, "Boss, how much is this work?"

The uncle replied: "Just give two Red Bulls."

"Very cheap!"

Bi Han excitedly took out two Red Bulls, his excited appearance seemed to be picking up leaks.

The uncle sighed and said: "There was indeed a wave of root carving craze 20 years ago. At that time, root carving works were very popular. Many of them were given to each other as precious gifts, or even collected. The price also rose linearly, from several thousand yuan to They were sold for tens of thousands of yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan. But with the emergence of a large number of industrial root carvings, the market was instantly beaten to pieces, and the value of root carving art plummeted."

Tens of thousands of yuan at that time was an astronomical sum. At that time, it was enough to buy a rather luxurious apartment, and you could even buy a villa in a place where the land price was cheap.

This shows how prosperous the root carving was in the past.

Bi Han nodded straightly, this is valuable knowledge that cannot be learned in books.

Lin Li said: "Uncle, don't worry, the economy has developed well in recent years, and more people know how to appreciate it. I believe that the root carving market will become prosperous again."

"Thank you for your words!"

The uncle responded with a smile.

"Hey, what is this?"

Lin Li wanted to buy a few more good root carving works to take back, but when he was choosing, he found a wood carving work that was very strange. It looked like an old object, but its paint was obviously new, which was quite contradictory.

Lin Li asked, "Boss, can we take it up and have a look?"

The boss nodded.

Lin Li brought it up and studied it up close.

This is a very ordinary Ruishi paperweight.The rectangular paperweight itself has a disfigured lion lying on top of it, and this lion's expression is not mighty, but lying down, symbolizing dormant majesty, which was very common among ancient dignitaries.

But this is not critical, the important thing is that in the incomplete parts of the forest, some quiet patinas were actually seen. The most important thing is that the material of the patina is a bit special, a bit like expensive sandalwood.

Seeing this, Lin Li was not polite anymore, and directly threw an identification technique:

Incomplete red sandalwood paperweight: This is a red sandalwood work with a small history. Due to multiple processing and treatments in the later stage, part of the material was destroyed, making the appearance different from the inside, and it is difficult to detect the red sandalwood material inside.Although its artistic value is not high, its ontological value is very high. It is recommended that players collect it.

Seeing this, Lin Li gasped.

Now the value of red sandalwood is rising very fast. A small piece of furniture made of ordinary rosewood costs tens of thousands to nearly one hundred thousand, and a slightly larger one is hundreds of thousands. A complete set is no more than two or three million. Don't even think about taking it back.

The most frightening thing is that the rising trend of rosewood is still there. People in the industry regard rosewood, especially the high-quality rosewood as an investment item, and they are reluctant to sell it. As a result, the price of rosewood becomes more and more outrageous every day.

This damaged Ruishi paperweight weighs at least 1 kilogram. Even if the usable rosewood inside is only half a catty, the value is extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Lin Li didn't care too much, and asked cautiously: "Boss, I wonder how many root carvings you have here? I've rounded them up!"
