Chapter 207 Repent?

"Old Wan, do you want this pearl?"

Zhao Yifei had a smile on his face, but it looked quite fake, as if it was a fake.

Wan Hua put down the teacup in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Pearls are good things, especially things that may be night pearls are even rarer. But, if they are good things, you have to try them out." That's how I know."

Fang Ming looked at Zhao Yifei, then at Wanhua, and understood in his heart that the two of them were not just talking about the pearl in front of them, but instead used this as a metaphor for the seat that both of them wanted.

When Zhao Yifei asked if you want Pearl, he actually meant whether you want that seat, but Wanhua's answer meant that that seat is a good thing, and there is only one. Who wouldn't want a good thing?However, relatively speaking, Wanhua's answer is much more domineering. Whether the seat is a good thing or not, you have to get started, that is, I will occupy it first to know-the subtext is whether it is good or not, I will occupy it first. If it is not good, unless I don't want it or there is a better one, then I will take it and use it reluctantly.

How could Zhao Yifei not understand what this meant, his expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Old Wan, you can't be so domineering. If a good thing is a good thing, you have to look at it first."

"You are right."

Wan Hua nodded, pointed at Fei Li and said, "I'm not the one who is being unreasonable now. You have held the beads in your hands and looked at them for a long time, but I have no chance to use them."

Tan Guo, who was at the side, felt a layer of tiny beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and thought to himself, why did he act aggressively?He is also a smart person, so he naturally understood what Wanhua and Zhao Yifei were talking about.

He didn't want to offend Zhao Yifei, but he didn't want to offend Wanhua even more, so after hesitating for a long time, Tan Guo said, "Uncle Zhao, why don't you let Uncle Wan do it?"

Zhao Yifei didn't seem to hear Tan Guo's words. After being silent for a while, he waved his hand suddenly and said, "I heard that there is a rule for those who play antiques. If I like this thing and the price is right, then Others will have no chance to get started, right?"

Tan Guo didn't expect Zhao Yifei to say such a thing, but there is indeed such a rule in the collection business, so he could only helplessly say to Wan Hua: "Uncle Wan, look at this..."

Wan Hua nodded lightly, and said: "No matter what line you are in, of course you have to follow the rules when you come out to play. What Lao Zhao said is indeed a rule for collecting, so you can just say a price and make a deal." Then I won't interfere."

"it is good."

Tan Guo breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his palm to Zhao Yifei, held up three fingers, and said, "Uncle Zhao, I want this amount for this thing. It's 300 million, and the price is the same. You can see that it will be successful, and it will not be successful if you don't."

Zhao Yifei's face darkened, he didn't expect Tan Guo to offer such a high price.He is an important member of the party, and his family is naturally rich, but he has to think about spending 300 million to buy a pearl like this. In fact, the reason why he thinks this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the money spent Then you must not buy fake ones, or the joke will be too big.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yifei looked at Fei Li, he didn't know if the pearl was real or not.In fact, he came here tonight because he had inquired about the news beforehand, and he came here only when he knew Wanhua was coming. Naturally, the purpose was to see if he could talk about the ownership of that seat. No positive answer at all.

I used the matter of the pearl to test it out before. Although I heard some meaning from it, it was not direct after all. Of course, Zhao Yifei's goal of fighting for this pearl is still the pearl, or that position: to get the pearl Just to get that seat -- it's a kind of psychological suggestion, psychological warfare.

However, if this pearl is fake, then the joke is really big.

Fei Li frowned tightly. The pearl in front of him seemed real to him, but it was precisely because of this that he hesitated even more—it was perfect, it was a little too perfect.He has been in the antique collection industry for many years and has seen countless scams. He knows that the more perfect an antique treasure is, the more likely it is a fake.

The pearl in front of me is huge, crystal clear, with excellent luster, and excellent roundness. It is exactly what Tan Guo called a rolling pearl: don't say it is the size in front of you, even if it is the size of a thumb It's hard to play tricks.Just think about the formation process of pearls and you will know that they are formed spontaneously in shellfish. Whether they are round or not can only be determined by God's will.

Seeing Zhao Yifei looking at him, Fei Li hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head and said, "This...it's hard to say."

It turned out that Fei Li believed that with his own ability, no matter what antiques were placed in front of him, he would be able to appraise them with perfect accuracy, but how could he expect to meet such a perfect pearl?

Zhao Yifei's face darkened. He brought Fei Li tonight just in case he came across an antique appraiser. How could he be satisfied when he heard such a thing now?So he said, "What's going on?"

A layer of sweat immediately appeared on Fei Li's forehead. He was naturally aware of Zhao Yifei's status. He was lucky to have such an opportunity to get in touch with him before, but now it seems that this is no different from a reminder: If the judgment is right, there is no problem at all, but if it is wrong, you can't kill yourself with a finger in Zhao Yifei's position!
After the sweat came out, it soon became as big as a soybean, and Fei Li's breathing couldn't help but became heavy, and soon it was clearly audible.

"This... this pearl is too real, so it's hard to say."

Fei Li's words certainly didn't satisfy Zhao Yilong. If it wasn't because he was facing Wanhua tonight, or because the pearl in front of him was related to that seat, he might not care about it, but it was completely different at this time. A burst of anger came from his heart, and he said coldly: "What is a little too real? I don't understand what this means. I just want to ask you, is this pearl real or fake?"

Pearls are pearls, if they are either real or fake, Zhao Yifei only needs an answer at this time, not such plausible words.If it is true, it will be bought, if it is false, then it will not be bought, it's that simple.

"I……"

Fei Li stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. Facing Zhao Yilong's cold knife-like gaze, he knew that he could no longer deal with it in such a vague way. He lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, and finally Fei Li shook his head. Shaking his head, gritted his teeth and said, "This is fake and worthless."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Zhao Yifei didn't just let Fei Li go, but continued to ask, he still didn't know anything about antiques, and he wanted to hear whether Fei Li's reason was valid.

Fei Li knew that he had no way out at this time, so he gritted his teeth again and said, "This is a kind of simulated pearl made from pearls extracted from meadowfish. This kind of pearl has a very high degree of simulation. It is not an experience. Rich people cannot be identified at all.

No one spoke, so it became quiet all of a sudden, and everyone was looking at Zhao Yifei, waiting for him to make a decision.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Ming took the beads from Fei Li.

As time passed by, the expression on Zhao Yifei's face kept changing, as if hesitating.

"This bead is indeed a bit too perfect as Fei Li said, especially the method Fei Li said has also been heard. It is the most important method for making fake pearls in the market. It seems to be as early as the 17th century. Someone in France did that."

"Okay, I don't want this pearl."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Yifei finally shook his head.

As if he had been waiting for Zhao Yifei to say this, Fang Ming, who had not spoken but half-closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Mayor Wan, buy this bead."

"it is good!"

Wan Hua didn't even think about it, and immediately followed Fang Ming's words.

Zhao Yifei's face sank again, and he said, "Old Wan, 300 million is not a small sum, you can decide without looking at this bead?"

Wan Hua smiled, pointed at Fang Ming and said, "If he says he can buy it, he will buy it. I believe what he says."

Zhao Yifei's face became even more serious, and he looked at Fang Ming and said, "Your name is Fang Ming, right?"

"correct."

Of course Fang Ming could tell that Zhao Yifei was unhappy, but so what?He's not worried about that.

"Is the pearl real? I wonder if you can tell me so that we can learn more?"

Fang Ming nodded and said, "No problem, we can also discuss together."

Spreading his hand holding the pearl, Fang Ming continued: "The method of identifying pearls can be bitten with teeth. If fake pearls are bitten hard, the surface will be dented, and the bead layer may fall off. If you touch it with your hands , the fake one will have a greasy feeling, the real one is relatively dry, and there is a cool feeling when hanging on the neck. In addition, the fake one is lighter, and the real one is heavier. However, the most important identification The way is to look at the luster. Specifically speaking, the color of fake pearls is relatively dull in terms of luster. If you look closely, they will appear white or pink, while the surface of real pearls is delicate and smooth, showing a transparent jade white. The best way to identify it is to use the light of the rising sun in the east. Of course, it is impossible to do this at night. But it is not necessary for experienced people. I can see the luster of this bead You know it’s a good thing, so there’s no need to get your hands on it or not—you can see it when it reflects under the light. The color of fake pearls is not the same at all.”

"Such a big bead is definitely rare now. 300 million may seem like a lot, but in fact it's not much. I think it's totally worth it."

After Fang Ming finished speaking, he handed the bead to Wanhua and said, "Mayor, you should take a look at this bead too."

"Hold on."

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke, and stretched out a hand to "snatch" the beads away.
