C15 The Value of Snuff Bottle
Hearing Manager Wu's sigh, Zhang Haoloong couldn't help but smile.
"What crappy thing dares to use this to make the Uncle Wu clap its hands? Do you really think you are a master appraiser? Even I won't be bothered to take a glance at those trash that you stole from the stalls, let alone the Uncle Wu! "
He spoke to Faang Cheng in disdain, then turned and flattered Chao Xi.
"This beauty, he actually doesn't know anything. She's just a swindler. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me!"
Chao Xi rolled his eyes at him coldly, she didn't even bother to speak with him, but leaned towards Faang Cheng, clearly expressing her attitude towards him.
"Faang Cheng, this thing... Where did you get it? "
Wu Yong's tone made it difficult to hear his emotions.
"Then … on a street stall on the east side of Antique Market! "
Faang Cheng anxiously replied.
And Wu Yong's next words, stupefied everyone.
"Sigh, what a pity. Such a good appearance! A snuff bottle from Qian Long's year hasn't been properly maintained. This soft jade …" It's all scratched! "
So the reason why Wu Yong sighed just now was because he had always loved antique as if it was his fate. Seeing such an exquisite antique getting hurt because it wasn't protected properly made his heart ache for it.
"Uncle Wu, do you mean to say that this is really a snuff bottle from Qian Long's era?"
Faang Cheng asked excitedly.
"That's right. Look at the decorative flower patterns on the surface of this snuff bottle. It's brilliant and lifelike, this should be something from the Imperial Family or even the Imperial Palace! Unfortunately, the material used was He Tian Yu. He Tian Yu was a famous soft jade, and the material used was similar to Tian Yu's items. They needed to be maintained and maintained properly because the material was soft. If this snuff bottle was perfectly preserved, the price would be around 5 to 600 thousand! "It's just that on the surface, it's a bit of a scrape. It's already pretty good to be able to sell it for around two hundred and fifty thousand!"
Wu Yong gave his own estimate.
"How much is it?"
Without waiting for Faang Cheng to speak, Zhang Xiaotian asked excitedly.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan should be enough!"
Wu Yong repeated himself.
"Wow, Faang Cheng, you're not bad! Where on earth did you get such good luck? "
Zhang Xiaotian excitedly grabbed Faang Cheng's shoulders.
After hearing Manager Wu's offer, Faang Cheng was so happy that he could not hide his smile! He had thought that this snuff bottle might be worth some money, but the price in his heart was only eight thousand. He didn't think that such a small thing would cost such a high price!
She stared at Faang Cheng's face which was about to bloom with laughter, and couldn't help but to doubt in her heart! He said that he didn't know how to appraise treasures, could it be that... Was he really that simple?
"But it's only two hundred thousand and you're already so happy? "I really haven't seen the world …"
Zhang Haoloong said sourly.
"Yeah, to you, 200,000 is nothing, but to my family, it's a lot! Furthermore, this snuff bottle was only bought by me from a stall outside for 1500 yuan. Right now, it's worth 250 thousand, I'm satisfied! "
Faang Cheng tilted his head, and said indifferently to everyone.
"What?" The price of 1500 was 250 thousand? This brat's luck is too good! "
"Lad, do you have some tricks up your sleeves? Teach us!"
"This luck of yours, tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's really too …"
The surrounding onlookers started chattering among themselves.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad!"
Faang Cheng did not know what to say, and could only scratch the back of his head, and laughed idiotically!
"Luck is also fate. Fate can be divided into fate and luck! Life was an innate factor, a part that couldn't be changed. Luck was formed from many factors in the future! Three days meant seven minutes of luck. Everyone's hobbies and disposition were important conditions that would affect their luck! If a person was honest, kind, cheerful and active, then his luck wouldn't be too bad. Then this little brother … Perhaps this was an example! But on the other hand, no matter how good a person's destiny is, if he doesn't know gratitude and is selfish and hateful, then he will still be beaten into a miserable state! "
After he finished this last sentence, he seemingly inadvertently glanced at the nearby Zhang Haoloong, and then turned to the still excited Faang Cheng.
"You are called Faang Cheng right? This snuff bottle … "I bid 260 thousand, are you willing to make a move?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Fourth Master Qi's words, Faang Cheng did not react at all, and just stood there in a daze.
"Fourth Master, you are blatantly robbing my Philistine House for business …"
Wu Yong joked.
"Ai, it's just a snuff bottle, just give it to me! I didn't get my hands on the blue and white porcelain today, so it's fine if you give me some small items.
Fourth Master Qi pretended to look like he was having chest pain.
Seeing Fourth Master Qi putting in so much effort to perform, Wu Yong couldn't bear to tease his big brother anymore!
"Since it's a success, I'll give you a heart's compensation!"
Now that the dust had settled, there was nothing to see here. Only then did the crowd disperse reluctantly!
"Young man, you're not bad. Luck has an extraordinary effect in the field of antiques! Your luck is very good. If you were to read a few more books and increase your knowledge of antiques, then, your future … It might be very successful! "
Fourth Master Qi said to Faang Cheng after transferring the $260 thousand to him.
"Yes, Fourth Master. When I go back, I will definitely read more books!"
Obviously, Faang Cheng was in a good mood. He was today's biggest winner.
"Then Uncle Wu, Fourth Master, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first!"
"Good!" Oh right, Faang Cheng, there's a small gathering in the industry at the Philistine House of the Pre-Sky Realm. Do you want to come over to take a look, and learn something at the same time? "
After experiencing these two events, Wu Yong felt in his heart that Faang Cheng was a young man that was worth befriending.
"Alright, alright, it's rare to see a Uncle Wu inviting me, I'll definitely be there the day after tomorrow!"
With that, Faang Cheng, Zhang Xiaotian and Xiang Xi politely said their goodbyes and left the Philistine House!
"Uncle Wu, a small gathering the day after tomorrow … What are you bringing him for? "
Zhang Haoloong had a reluctant look on his face, because he was also participating in the gathering the day after tomorrow.
Haoloong, you should also quickly go back and tell your grandfather about this matter. As for who will come to the gathering the day after tomorrow, you don't have to worry about that!
Seeing that the Fourth Master Qi was still fuming, Zhang Haoloong did not dare to say more and quickly left!
"Sigh, this grandson raised by Old Master Zhang …" But the difference is too great! "
The Fourth Master Qi had obviously compared him to Faang Cheng!
