Chapter 40 The Pure Gold "Welcome Spring Rabbit"

Chapter 040 Pure Gold "Welcome Spring Rabbit"

"Brother Chen, we are really safe and sound this time!"

In an inner room of the "Jingyixuan" antique shop in Temple Street, Dongshi, the boss Xiaolong and the cultural relics dealer Lin Chenhui from Hong Kong were lamenting the thrill of the accident just now. Lin Chenhui had just hung up and called Mo Li. Ming's phone call, at this moment, I saw a look of joy on his face full of fat.

"Yeah, luckily it was just a surprise!" Lin Chenhui exhaled shortly and said, "It's really thanks to Mo Liming, his words are simply saving us from danger, more convincing than any evidence Strength!"

"Brother Chen, come on, smoke." Xiaolong smiled for Lin Chenhui and lit a cigar that he subconsciously took out from his pocket and put it on his mouth, and then he smoked heavily.

"Brother Chen, this Mo Liming has extraordinary eyesight. He actually recognized that it was 'Xue Fang'. Both Lao Ji and Uncle Ding had seen it, and they thought it was fine, but they didn't expect to be caught by someone in the near future." At first glance, he was dismantled on the spot, and this person is just a little-known employee of the 'Jiuding Company'." Xiaolong said in a low voice, "I just asked about the situation, Mo Liming really has no background. He joined the auction house for less than a year and has been working as a handyman in the company's porcelain miscellaneous department. He occasionally goes out to receive goods with the company's experts, but he has never participated in Any form of treasure appreciating activities. Before this, I was still guessing, what is the special origin of this person, otherwise, how could Sister Yihong get so close to him? According to Sister Yihong's personality, it is very rare There was a young man who was taken care of by her. Later I found out from an old acquaintance in Jiuding that Mo Liming had almost saved Sister Yihong's life, so she repayed her kindness and trusted him very much. friendly."

"That's right, 'Heroes save the beauty'." Lin Chenhui took a puff of cigarette, and then exhaled a long smoke ring, narrowing his small eyes and said, "This man is hiding something, not what ordinary people say. I can figure it out. I think it’s better to check his family background if it’s convenient, but seeing how shabby he is dressed, he doesn’t look like a rich man from a famous family.”

"OK, I'll ask someone to find out." Xiaolong quickly nodded and agreed.

After smoking a cigarette, Lin Chenhui extinguished the cigarette butt on the ashtray, and casually threw it into a small trash can beside his feet.

"Xiaolong, lend me something." Suddenly, he looked up at Xiaolong and said solemnly.

"What? Brother Chen, please tell me, as long as I have it, I will borrow it." Xiaolong said without hesitation.

Lin Chenhui said: "It is best to have gold or jade wares that are more valuable and commemorative."

"Goldware? Jadeware?" Xiaolong asked with a suspicious light in his eyes, "Brother Chen, are you going to give it away?"

"Right!" Lin Chenhui stopped beating around the bush, and said bluntly, "I'm going to give it to Mo Liming. It's a thank you gift. He's done me such a big favor. Can I express it? Anyone who is right I have helped, and I will definitely not treat him badly!"

What he said was very forthright, Xiaolong nodded quickly and said: "OK, no problem. Brother Chen, you are right, I want to thank Mo Liming very much."

Lin Chenhui immediately smiled, with a meaningful smile in his eyes, and said, "Xiaolong, thanking him is second, the main thing is that his help to me in the future may be unlimited, this kind of friend is worth making!"

"So, Brother Chen, do you want to make friends with Mo Liming?" Xiaolong suddenly said, "I think this matter is quite OK. In the antique shop, one more friend and one more way. The key is that Mo Liming Ming's eyesight is unpredictable and very instructive, isn't it a very remarkable thing for him to point out the flaw of the 'Xue Fang' celestial bottle in front of a group of experts at noon?"

Lin Chenhui nodded lightly and said: "To put it bluntly, I am just a low-level cultural relics businessman, I only know how to do business, but I don't know much about antiques, ha ha, so ordinary people are not sure about it. The precious things are all here, please these friends around me. I think you know better than me what 'Xue Fang' is. It has harmed many people. Of course, it has also made many people profit from it. A piece of "Xue Fang" is priced at more than ten million yuan, what a huge benefit! Why is "Xue Fang" so famous among high imitations and has such a great influence? Because of the authenticity! In the entire domestic antique world, there are only two or three people who can really recognize 'Xue Fang'!"

"That's right." Xiaolong nodded calmly and said, "As far as I know, only Mr. Huo has this ability. Unfortunately, since that incident happened a few years ago, he has lived in seclusion and basically does not give people Looking at things. Fortunately, there is another person now. Mo Liming is much younger, and his developmental diving is endless. Brother Chen, what are you going to do with the celestial ball bottle in your hand? Is it returned to Mr. Lu? ?”

"The ones that have to be refunded have already been mediated in the Public Security Bureau. Mr. Lu will return all the funds purchased at the beginning to me." Lin Chenhui said, "The things are not clean anymore, so as not to cause trouble, It’s best not to touch it. Think about it, that thing is a fake, and there are already relevant records in the files of the Public Security Bureau. Once you go to the auction and bid a high price, what will the police do if they are watching? It’s a crime of fraud. Ah, I can't afford it! Also, I suspect that Mr. Lu is a "big expert", and someone above him is dedicated to "Xue Fang". Although I don't want that thing, I can't, but I can compare it with other things He started to cooperate, and 'Xue Fang' is definitely a favorite in the auction of ancient art, and there is a lot of oil and water!"

When he said this, he could clearly see the greedy look on his face. From his words, Xiaolong also seemed to hear something tricky.

"Brother Chen, do you want to cooperate with Mr. Lu to make a fortune on 'Xue Fang'?" Xiaolong asked with interest.

"Yes, he has access to goods, and I have connections. Our cooperation should be seamless!" Lin Chenhui said with joy, "'Xue Fang' can hide the world, as long as the few people who can see through it don't get involved, don't come to disturb it. Then, everything will go smoothly!"

"So, you want to win over Mo Liming, let him stand by your side, and not make things difficult for you?" Xiaolong asked in a low voice, afraid that the walls have ears, and someone might overhear their conversation.

"Xiaolong, that's right, you're right!" Lin Chenhui said with piercing eyes, "Mo Liming's existence is both a great fortune and a great calamity, and for those collectors who don't accept it, he can bring blessings , because he can crack down on counterfeiting, but for Mr. Lu and others, he is a disaster and can bring hidden troubles to people. I am also just a businessman. Whether it’s small or not, you can’t be sure. One day, he, Mo Liming, won’t have a conflict with you because of ‘Xue Fang’. At that time, running away, not to mention the loss, might bring A big disaster. The antique business seems to be calm, but it is actually a dark tide, and a little carelessness will cause huge losses to yourself!"

"Brother Chen, you're telling the truth. You'd better be careful if you're not afraid of an emergency!" Xiaolong nodded vigorously in agreement with Lin Chenhui's views.

"So borrow something from you first, I have to be prepared, it would be even better if I can turn Mo Liming into 'one of my own' one day!" Lin Chenhui sighed softly, feeling a little helpless.

"Understood, Brother Chen, I'll go get it right away, I really have a good thing here!" Xiaolong readily agreed, and then he got up and walked away, and he came back after a while.

"Brother Chen, look, there is a 'Welcome Spring Rabbit' made of pure gold!" Xiaolong sat down and carefully placed a glittering and vivid golden rabbit by Lin Chenhui's hand, smiling happily He said, "The origin of this golden rabbit is not simple. It is a gold jewelry issued by the well-known Hong Kong jewelry company 'Chow Tai Fook Company' this year. It is a limited edition. There are only dozens of pieces in the world, and this one is mine. A friend who works as a sales executive in a certain department of their head office bought it first and gave it to me. It has a great commemorative value, and it happened to be given to Mo Liming. I think he should like it very much."

"Yes, this thing is really good!" Lin Chenhui picked up the golden rabbit and weighed it in his hands. He only thought that it weighed more than 500 grams and was worth no less than 30 million. At this time, Lin Chenhui was full of smiles. Yes, very happy and satisfied.

"Xiaolong, this thing was given to you by a friend of yours as a souvenir. How can I have the nerve to take it from you and give it to others?"

Later, Lin Chenhui raised his face apologetically and stared at Xiaolong and said, but Xiaolong smiled heartily and said, "Brother Chen, why are you being polite to me?! We are brothers, aren't we?! You helped me so much before. Do me a favor, let me see hope to stand up again, it is only right for me to do such a thing for you!"

"Okay, with your words, my brother will feel at ease!" Lin Chenhui blushed immediately, as if he couldn't help being a little excited, and said solemnly, "Xiaolong, don't worry, the benefits will be great in the future, everyone come together share!"

The two were talking and laughing, both very happy.

About three to four ten minutes later, Mo Liming hurried to "Jingyixuan" with the Ming Jiajing blue and white gourd bottle that Fu Yihong and the others unanimously verified as authentic.

When Lin Chenhui and Xiaolong saw Mo Liming, they naturally seemed extraordinarily enthusiastic, and they hurriedly invited Mo Liming into the reception room to talk.

"Mr. Mo, it's so rare to invite you to come here in person!" Lin Chenhui said loudly to Mo Liming with a smile on his face, "Mr. Mo, you really did something very satisfying at noon. I especially want to thank you, you not only saved us from being suspected of crime, but also saved me from great loss—you are my great benefactor!"

"Mr. Lin, please don't be so happy." Mo Liming squinted his eyes, but shook his head, and replied flatly, "Actually, I was helping myself at the same time as I was helping you. Aren't I also suspicious?"

"That's what I said, but I'm the most suspicious. You were the ones I was involved at the time." Lin Chenhui still said enthusiastically, "Mo Liming, I admire your super eyesight!"

Facing Lin Chenhui's high-profile praise, Mo Liming remained calm and said, "Mr. Lin, you are over-rewarding. Anyway, it's good that you are fine now."

"Brother, please drink tea." At this time, Xiaolong handed over the tea, and Mo Liming took it and thanked him.

"Mr. Mo, this is a little thought from me. I would like to express my gratitude. Please accept it."

Suddenly, Lin Chenhui brought up the pure gold "Welcome Spring Rabbit" from the side, and gently pushed it to the table beside Mo Liming.

"Mr. Lin, you...is this?" Mo Liming shook his head repeatedly with a look of astonishment on his face and said, "I can't accept such a precious gift, Mr. Lin, please take it back."

"Mr. Mo, you have helped us a lot, and this kind of gratitude is due." Lin Chenhui said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, I told you to take it back, just take it back. How can I ask for your things? If you want us to cooperate and communicate happily, you must respect each other and treat each other equally. It is my principle to do things without asking for rewards from friends." , please forgive me." Mo Liming suddenly corrected his expression, and said righteously, he obviously rejected Lin Chenhui's kindness firmly.

As soon as Mo Liming said this, Lin Chenhui and Xiaolong couldn't help but looked at each other, both of them had expressions of surprise on their faces.

"This person is not simple. He would refuse indifferently when faced with hundreds of thousands of gold objects!" Lin Chenhui and the others secretly praised in their hearts.

However, the two of them soon smiled, because from Mo Liming's words, they heard that the other party regarded the people on their side as their own.

"Not bad not bad!" Lin Chenhui laughed happily, "Brother Lin, if this is the case, then I will not be polite."

As he spoke, he took the golden rabbit back.

"Yeah." Mo Liming nodded in approval, and then he just said straight to the point, "Mr. Lin, I brought the bottle, come and estimate the price for me."

What he was talking about was of course the gourd bottle, but before he held up the bottle and showed it to Lin Chenhui, Lin Chenhui put down his words without hesitation: "Lao Ji and Mr. Huo have both appraised your things , You are a big expert again, I still can't believe it? Brother, let's do this, I have already thought about it, if you are interested, you can give that thing to our company, the price is 400 million, and you will pay you a deposit of 200 million in advance, and the auction will be successful After that, except for the commission, all the funds for the transaction will be yours, what do you think?"
