Chapter 113 Accepting a "little brother" (2)
Seeing the triumphant look of Jin Qiyi, Fengjuan smiled and leaned up to kiss her, and asked, "See if you can do it! I want to ask you what the joint venture investment company does? Do you buy American companies?"

Jin Qi pointed to his own lips and said, "One more time, and I'll tell you."

Just feeling refreshed, the door slammed loudly, and Luo Dawei's voice came in: "Brother, the door is still locked in the morning, so you're still in bed with your sister-in-law?"

The Han Gong Zhuo Yu Tang opened on 49th Street in Las Vegas is very grand, with luxurious decoration and a wide range of products, most of which are emerald and diamond jewelry, and other gem jewelry are just embellishments.When Jin Qi handed the heavy bag to Luo Dawei's fourth uncle, Luo Zhiwen, the general manager of American Hangong Zhuoyutang, his heart skipped a beat.

This person looks like 48 or nine, tall and strong, with twinkling eyes, giving people the feeling of being invisible.Wearing a brand-name suit with a bright smile on his face, he said happily when he took over the bag containing the giant diamond: "Thank you, Mr. Jin Zhuang, Mr. Roger, the appraiser of the American Institute of Gemstones and Jade, has already arrived. I estimate that the appraisal will be in an hour. You will be able to pay the full payment to the owner of Jin Zhuang. Please rest and drink tea first, or take a look at the works of Baoyu, which are not worth much, and the appraisal will be very fast."

The pleasantries on the table sounded different to Jin Qi's ears. In addition to expressing on the surface that he must pass an authoritative appraisal before he can pay for the goods, there was also a hidden meaning that Jin Qi didn't understand. Drill don't pass the appraisal!Of course, this level of meaning was captured by the "state of mind and consciousness", and it only passed through Luo Zhiwen's heart for a moment.It seems that the story of "Duzuan" is not simple.

Today, Fengjuan and Zhang Yun went shopping after they recognized the door. Luo Dawei was busy fooling around with his colleagues as soon as he arrived. Apart from assisting "Douzuan", another purpose of this trip is that next year he will be in charge of the American Hangong Zhuoyutang. Building a good relationship with your subordinates has naturally become a compulsory course.Jin Qi had nothing to do, so he greeted Dawei and went out for a walk.I didn't dare to go far because of the language barrier, so I just went west along the 49th Avenue.

One end of 49th Avenue is connected to Chinatown, which is an area for high-end consumer goods. There are either brand franchise stores or art exhibition rooms along the road.There are four or five jewelry stores alone, and the scale is no less than that of Han Gong Zhuo Yu Tang.Everything in a foreign country is novel, and the decoration of the facade of the package is also very different from that in China.For example, in terms of store signs, that is, store names, in China, there are nothing more than big characters and bright colors, which are festive and eye-catching.Here it is completely the opposite. Some narrow lines of English are printed on the lintel, and some are embedded in the corner of the outer wall. If you want to see it, you have to look around to find it. It can be seen that there are great differences in cultural differences and appreciation angles!Thinking about all kinds of novelties along the way, I felt much more relaxed. As for why Luo Zhiwen hoped that the truth about the failure of "Douzuan" would be left behind.

As I was walking, I suddenly found two large printed Chinese characters "past" on the opposite side of the street.What is this thing?

Jin Qi quickly crossed the street, and the "past" in front of him was actually a small antique shop.It is said that it is only as wide as an iron door, and a piece of white paper is pasted on the door. The word "past" on the paper seems quite at a loss.The iron gate was open, and the lights inside were on during the day. It was a long and narrow strip, and a fat man walked by it would be full.It can be seen that this is the aisle between the buildings, and it becomes a small shop with a block at both ends.There is a wooden shelf against the wall, and there are many Chinese antiques, and there are also large and small pots, vases, etc. piled up in a row at the bottom of the wall.The owner is a young blonde with blue eyes, looking listless sitting on an old wooden box.It's kind of funny that a real American opened a real Chinese antique shop in the United States!
Jin Qi looked at it and was secretly surprised. Many antiques are valuable treasures. The nine official hat tubes and official hat racks made of various materials on the bare wooden frame are enough to make people surprised.Among them are two powder-colored porcelain hat tubes, three brass pinched silk hat tubes, one hat slip carved from Tiannan bamboo, and three pineapple wood hat racks embossed with fragrant clay. It is full of antiquity, and the golden flag can confirm a Qianlong product at a glance!The cap barrel and hat stand are storage tools for officials and officials to place their official hats. In order not to damage the left and right wings, hat tassels, and cap beads, the hat barrel and hat stand have become necessities for officials.Nine of these exquisite and exquisite official crown deposits with multiple values ​​of cultural relics, history and art appeared at once, and they were on the other side of the ocean, which is jaw-dropping.This is just one of them!

Second: There are many bronze objects stored in the lower layer of the wooden frame, each of which is rusted and stained, and the soil is serious. People who don't know it will think it is a pile of broken copper and iron, but Jin Qi knows that these are four sets of bronze "fans". It is what is called a mold today.A pair of "spear model", a pointed spear with a length of fifteen centimeters comes out of this pair of molds.The other three pairs are "buckle fan", like the connecting buckle of the saddle of a harness.Two sets of "Fan for spending money" and "Tianping Yuanchang" are clearly written.There are special collections of this kind of "Fan" in China. Generally, they are all "Qian Fan". The earliest ones are "Knife Coin Fan".

Jin Qi really wanted to get started, but unfortunately, his English was too poor, so he probably couldn't communicate with Yankees.When he was feeling helpless, the American said: "Sir, please let me know if you have chosen, and we can negotiate the price in detail." Hi!Very pure Beijing accent.

"Great!" Jin Qi couldn't help praising: "What's your name, sir? Your store name is very interesting."

"You can call me Qiong Hanshi. 'Past' are two characters in a piece of Chinese calligraphy left by my father. These two characters are used to commemorate my father. Sir, what do you call it?"

"You can call me Jin. I don't know English. Fortunately, Mr. Han Shi speaks BJ. Mr. Han Shi has been to China?"

"Jin, you must not have guessed that I learned Chinese from my father. My father lived in China for a long time when he was young, and he admired Han culture very much. All the things in the shop were brought back to the United States from China by my father. Things that were hobbies or souvenirs are now my source of income, I am really ashamed of my father!" Qiong Hanshi's tone was full of helplessness.

"Is the business still good?" Jin Qi was a little puzzled. Could it be that this American youth makes a living on this?

Qiong Hanshi shook his head and said, "My father passed away two years ago, and I recently lost my job. I just remembered these things hidden in the basement. My father once said that these should be very valuable, so I rented a small shop to sell these oriental cultures." In the past', who knows that I haven't sold a single piece in a week. Mr. Jin is the third customer to step into the shop. Unfortunately, I almost don't have the confidence to stick to it. Someone introduced me to Motorola as a Chinese translator yesterday. Today I will go to China. Kim, do you like these pots and pans? I can sell them to you very cheaply, how about a [-]% discount if you buy them all?"

It seems that Qiong Hanshi is eager to get rid of his hands and is going to sell Chinese antiques like wholesale cabbage. Will his father wash his face with tears and be overwhelmed with pain?Jin Qi laughed secretly, his father died a long time ago, how could he "want to live"? "Congratulations on finding a new job." Jin Qi shook hands with Qiong Hanshi enthusiastically, and asked straightforwardly, "Apart from what I can see, does Mr. Hanshi have any collections?"

Qiong Hanshi took out a large porcelain basin from the bottom wall, put it down gently, and wrote: "This porcelain basin is my father's favorite among all the Chinese antiques, and I wipe it every day. It is said that 20 years ago, it cost RMB 3000. I bought it for 3000 yuan, and it cost more than 200 yuan back then, which is equivalent to more than [-] U.S. dollars now. It is very expensive. Except for the porcelain basin, everything else can be seen, and the walls on both sides are all, about [-] pieces.”

Jin Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the porcelain basin, my God!This is a large basin with blue and white seaweed patterns made in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty!The real blue and white used by the Qing Dynasty for the third generation!The product is in good condition and the tire glaze is bright. It is a rare treasure.Looking closely at the inventory on the wooden shelf, in addition to the hat tube and hat rack and paraphernalia, there are also three Tang-style bronze mirrors; eight pastel bowls, vases and other porcelain; a leather sheathed knife inlaid with jewels and a A pair of dark golden stirrups; a dozen or so ancient folding fans and some small pens and inks in a rosewood bookcase are piled up for half a box; there are more than 40 pieces of porcelain miscellaneous pieces by the wall...the waist knife with a precious leather sheath Lao Jinqi noticed that a faint murderous aura was coming out of the sheath.He really wanted to take out the knife to admire and play with it, and his business had already prevented this desire to attract attention.He restrained his excitement and said lightly: "I really want to help Mr. Han Shi and accept all the more than 200 items. Of course, the premise is that they must be very cheap, otherwise I can't afford it."

When Qiong Hanshi heard this, he almost jumped up for joy, and said excitedly: "Okay, I will definitely give you the most reasonable and favorable price. The prices of all my father's things are recorded, and they cost 20 yuan 15 years ago." Renminbi. Calculated by ten times, it should be 150 million yuan, plus the value-added multiplied by two, it should be 300 million yuan. Mr. Jin, you can just give me 43 US dollars, okay?" He hesitated a little timidly, and took the initiative before the other party spoke Reduce the price and say: "Another discount, just give me 40 yuan."

This business has made a lot of money, and it is estimated that the big blue and white pot is worth more than 500 million yuan.Jin Qi nodded and said, "Okay, agree to accept all the items for 40 US dollars, and we can go to the bank to transfer the money."

"Mr. Jin is such a generous man. Please leave me a phone number. I will treat Mr. Jin to dinner in China." Qiong Hanshi said as he walked out the door. Excited to pay 40 US dollars, he was so happy that he almost didn't hug each other.Of course, these messy things are very ordinary in his eyes, even if you tell him that some things are probably used by the emperor hundreds of years ago, he will not feel how precious they are.What is the emperor?The things he used should be priceless?If someone is willing to pay several million for his big blue and white pot, he must think that he has met a fool in his heart.Thinking that only the Chinese worship imperial power in their hearts is too stupid!
Values ​​are different, I don't know who takes advantage of whom?In Jin Qi's "Mind Consciousness Realm", he was dumbfounded when he learned about this guy's inner thoughts.Soon, 40 US dollars arrived in Hanshi's account, and he told Jinqi Xiaodian that there were still three days left for the lease, and that it would be fine to close the door and stuff the key under the crack of the door.Then Qiong Hanshi walked away humming a little tune, leaving Jin Qi alone in the "past".This is the past of Mr. Han Shi.

Some things are really funny. There is a priceless antique in the family, and it is carefully enshrined every day. I would rather eat bran swallowed vegetables than beat the treasures passed down from the ancestors. It is said to be a family heirloom and a blood inheritance of the family.Finally, a certain generation sold it, and it was delicious, easy to wear and stylish for the rest of my life.The person who bought this antique started another inheritance, so another round of stories began.May I ask whether it is happiness or misery that is passed down, I find it difficult to say?Qiong Hanshi is a prodigal son who got rid of the inheritance, but lives a relaxed and comfortable life.

Jin Qi can finally enjoy the colorful antiques freely.

There are more than 200 pieces, and there are absolutely no fakes. They are all bought one by one by a knowledgeable foreigner.Think about what it would be like to set up an antique treasure room in Yaofeng Villa?Let Chen Zhong take a look, how does this guy feel?I didn't expect such a huge harvest from the trip to the United States, and I couldn't help laughing.He grabbed the waist knife in the leather sheath, felt heavy in his hand, and pulled it out gently, a bright green light flashed, the blade was still cold and sharp.The four characters of tiger and tiger are engraved on the blade: "Emperor Yongzheng Sword".what!It's hard to imagine that it's a royal sword!

Jin Qi was aware of the weight of the four seal characters. He had seen the Qianlong No. 72 Baoteng waist knife, and to put it bluntly, it was just an ornament other than jewels.The simple leather-sheathed waist knife in front of him is a real killing tool. The strong killing intent is slowly overflowing between the blade and the blood groove. It is estimated that hundreds of lives have become undead under the knife.Thinking of the "first-grade general sword, Nian Yanyao" sword that was occasionally obtained in the bamboo building, the kind of fighting spirit and fighting spirit have the same effect, which is terrifying and admirable.

The porcelain and sundry items that I saw were collected one by one, looking at the empty shop, just about to turn around and leave, when I caught a glimpse of a cardboard box in the corner, bent over to open it, it was one foot high, [-]-fold, for display A small wooden screen was used.Exquisitely made, exquisite materials, and made by famous masters, generally this kind of decoration has a certain value.But the five black lacquered panels of the wooden screen in his hand looked very rough, with thousands of characters engraved densely, without any valuable decorations.With such an ordinary appearance, it's no wonder that Qiong Hanshi would throw it in the corner without hesitation.

However, Jin Qi had a clear mind, and what he carved on the ordinary wood with micro-engraving techniques was a wonderful book on alchemy of Taoism, the title of which was "Great Alchemy Classic".The inscription was made by a Taoist priest who recorded all his alchemy experience and left it to those who are destined for him on the day of his ascension. For some reason, it fell into the hands of Qiong Hanshi's father.I have always wanted to make some Qi Dan to help my friends around me speed up their cultivation. The alchemy of the Tsing Yi School seems a little superficial. There are also alchemy methods in the Taiyin Baojian, but there is no formula for pills. Now this "Great Alchemy" has everything.Overjoyed in my heart, I hurriedly put away the wooden screen carefully, and there was no more nostalgia in the "past" that was completely swept away, so I closed the door and left.

I didn't notice that it was almost noon, and I thought that the diamond appraisal should be completed, so I walked towards the Han Gong Zhuo Yu Tang.

As soon as I stepped into the store, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. The ladies in the sales department whispered nervously.Passing through the business hall, as soon as he went up to the second floor, he bumped into Luo Dawei who was sweating face to face.When Dawei saw Jin Qi, he panicked and shouted: "Brother, there is a big disaster, the diamond is missing!"

"how come……"

"Mr. Roger was appraised in the collection room alone, and there were security guards outside the door. I was chatting with several business managers in the next door. The fourth uncle picked up the grandfather and the second uncle just came back, and the security guard heard that there was something heavy in the collection room. The sound of falling to the ground. We hurriedly opened the door, Roger appraiser passed out on the ground, and the giant diamond disappeared."

"Did you report the crime?"

"No, the fourth uncle said that the giant diamond was not reported at the customs. There is a suspicion of smuggling. It is worth deliberating whether to report the case. Now that Mr. Roger has been rescued, grandpa told me to find you quickly."

Jin Qi paused in his heart, and immediately thought that this was a trap. The diamond disappeared during the appraisal, and he couldn't report it to the police. Who would bear the loss?The source of your things is abnormal, and the loss is even greater if you report it. If you don’t report the loss, you can only be self-satisfied. This reason is high-sounding.Compensating for some losses is also a matter of morality.Great trap!No wonder it has to be delivered in the United States, no wonder it has to be authenticated before payment.Mr. Luo Zhenyu Luo also participated in this conspiracy?But aren't they afraid of losing "Duzuan"?A series of hypotheses and questions emerged, and Jin Qi felt very stuffy and uncomfortable, feeling like being betrayed.He asked coldly, "Where are they?"
