After a while, the two of them were very close.

Teng Dong took a step back and bowed deeply to Su An.

The sudden action startled Su An.

He quickly stood up and supported Teng Dong, shouting: "Teng Lao, what are you doing? Get up, get up, aren't you shortening my life?"

Teng Lao stood up and laughed: "You young man, you are so superstitious at such a young age. I'm not bowing to you, why should I shorten your life?"

Su An scratched his head, feeling that the Teng Dong in front of him was completely different from the one he met in the reception room, which made him a little confused.

He asked curiously: "Teng Lao, don't you think highly of me? Why did you bow to me?"

Teng Dong's face turned red, and he said rather embarrassedly: "Apology, I bow to you to apologize for saying in the reception room that the snuff bottle you brought was a replica. I know that the snuff bottle is real."

After this,

Su An was even more confused.

"Then why did you say that the snuff bottle was a replica and devalued me?"

Su An asked directly, and a hint of dissatisfaction came out of his words when he said the last few words.

According to his temper, if he didn't want to leave with an excuse, he would definitely scold Teng Dong severely, and would never turn around and leave lightly.

Teng Dong raised his foot to sit on the bench, raised his hand and patted the seat next to him, motioning Su An to sit down: "People are old, and it's a bit tiring to talk while standing. If you have anything to say, just sit down and talk."

Su An didn't think much about it and sat down next to him.

Seeing him sit down, Teng Dong spoke again: "If I hadn't said that in the reception room, would you have planned to sell the snuff bottle to Jin?"

Su An shook his head: "No."

"Huh?"

Teng Dong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Su An to say that. He was silent for several seconds and then said: "That's why I misunderstood you. I thought you would sell the snuff bottle to Jin. In order to stop you, I deliberately said that your snuff bottle was a replica. The purpose was not to let Jin buy the snuff bottle you brought."

"Why?"

This time it was Su An's turn to be surprised.

Teng Dong did not answer but asked: "Did Jin tell you that he is a snuff bottle collector, and told you that although he likes to collect snuff bottles, he cannot identify them because there are too many domestic imitations that are too realistic? He even hinted that if you receive antiques such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting with historical culture, you should inform him as soon as possible, and promised that price is not a problem?"

Su An was stunned and nodded slowly: "Yes, he said so, but what does this have to do with the snuff bottle I brought?"

Teng Dong suddenly became excited: "Of course it is related! Because Jin is the chairman of the 'Hesheng Pharmaceutical' company on the surface, and he is also engaged in the sale of Chinese cultural relics and antiques behind the scenes. He collects domestic antiques everywhere, especially expensive antiques with high historical and cultural value, and sells them to the British Museum abroad to make profits and contact certain high-ranking officials abroad! Snuff bottle collector is just a name he uses to collect more antiques and confuse people! A real snuff bottle collector, even if he knows nothing at the beginning, will at least know a little bit after a long period of influence!"

Su An was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Jin was actually an antique dealer!

Fortunately, he didn't think of selling the snuff bottle to him in the first place!

After the surprise, his doubts deepened, and his eyes explored: "Teng Lao, since you know all the things that Jin did behind his back, why don't you report him and help him identify antiques?"

Teng Lao's face showed some helplessness and a trace of remorse, and he said slowly: "I also thought about reporting him, but he did it too cleanly, and he couldn't be found at all! It's a shame to say that I learned all the knowledge of treasure appraisal in China, and finally helped a robber to identify antiques, but I couldn't help it, he gave too much.

The appraisal fee is at least 50,000 for one time. The higher the price of the antique, the higher the appraisal fee he gave. In addition to this, there is another point. Since I knew that he was a dealer of antiques, once I encountered a real thing, I would say it was a fake. Only those large quantities of Republic of China toys would be said to be authentic. It is considered to be my best effort to prevent domestic treasures from flowing into the hands of foreign robbers..."

His voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke. Obviously, deep in his heart, he didn't think that the last point could whitewash his act of being an accomplice to the tiger.

Hearing this, Su An didn't know what to say for a while.

He always felt something strange and awkward.

From what he just said, it can be heard that Mr. Teng values ​​money very much, but from the way he is dressed, he is dressed very simply and rides a very old bicycle.

Even though he had used it for many years, he always felt that the other party did not value the status of the item. Then why was he willing to help a person he looked down upon to identify it for money?

He became more and more curious, but it was not easy to ask questions, after all, it was Mr. Teng's private matter.

Teng Dong wiped his face and said ashamedly: "Old people like to nag. I asked you to come to the park just to apologize to you and tell you that your snuff bottle is real. If you don't mind, I can help you contact the buyer. The material used for your snuff bottle is excellent, it is the best glutinous jade, and the craftsmanship is also good. Although there is no carving, the craftsmanship is very good. The overall creation is very delicate, seamless, and natural. If it is sold, the price will be at least more than one million!"

Hearing this.

Su An was stunned for a few seconds, and his eyes met with Teng Dong for a few seconds. He saw the guilt and compensation in his eyes. He felt relieved, thought for a few seconds, and agreed: "Then I'll trouble you."

As long as it is not sold to foreigners, it's fine!

Moreover, the client introduced by Teng Dong must know his professional ability, and he was too lazy to find someone to identify it and waste time.

Seeing Su An agreed, Teng Dong immediately took out his mobile phone and called his friend.

"Hello, Lao Long, it's me. I came across a fine glutinous jade snuff bottle from the middle period of the Qing Dynasty. Are you interested?"

He also turned on the hands-free mode to ensure that Su An could hear the voice of the person on the other end of the phone.

"Haha, you don't know me yet? I love jade and jadeite! And I'm more obsessed with this recently. I have collected several jade snuff bottles before, but unfortunately the material is average... Wait a minute, I'll hang up the phone first and make a video call. Before buying, you still have to check the goods first to see how the goods are, don't you think?"

"Of course, inspection is a necessary process. Okay, I'll hang up first, you call me."

After that.

Teng Dong hung up the phone.

The next second.

The voice prompt sound of Weixin Video sounded.

Teng Dong answered the call immediately. An old man in his 50s or 60s appeared in the video. He had gray hair and a square face full of righteousness.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately urged: "Old Teng, where is the stuff? Where is the jade snuff bottle? Let me see it quickly. If it is really a good thing, I can't miss it!"

"Don't worry, the stuff is still in the hands of this little brother. Su An, take out the snuff bottle."

Su An hummed, took out the snuff bottle from his arms, and handed it to Teng Dong.
