After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Seeing so many people paying attention to this matter, the pretty boy became even more proud.

Today, in front of so many people, he would personally tear off the disguise of this arrogant contractor and let Lin Miaomiao know who her true match was!
The pretty boy looked at Tang Xiaohu with disdain and said sarcastically, "Humph, everyone is stubborn. You still say you won't trade with me! Haha, what a joke. I'm not a fool. Who wants to trade with you?"
Your thing is worth at most 600,000 or 700,000 yuan, and my things are easily worth more than ten times that. Don't worry, even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't exchange it with you."

Tang Xiaohu laughed loudly and said, "I kneel down and beg you? Humph, you think too much. If anyone really wants to kneel, you should be the one kneeling today."

As he spoke, Tang Xiaohu looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Brother, he won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River. Tell me, how can we make him give up?"

Zhao Yuntao was originally at the door politely seeing off the guests, but now he noticed a few people gathered here, so he walked over to see what was going on.

The pretty boy was still shouting proudly, "Give up? Haha, I think you are the ones who should give up. In fact, my teacher has already seen that this thing is just a replica of the Nine Revolutions Universe Tripod made during the Ming and Qing Dynasties! At most, it is worth only 600,000 or 700,000 yuan.

You spent so much money to buy it, and it seems that you didn't lose much, and you may even make a profit. But have you ever thought about how much you can get after deducting the handling fee to the auction house and the 10% donation money? What do you think! Did you find that you actually lost money? "

Seeing Xu Bo'an and Tang Xiaohu being ridiculed, Zhao Yuntao wanted to help out and say something like "the handling fee can be discounted", but when he thought that the people on the other side were also VIPs invited by the partners, he didn't want to say much, so he had to remain silent in embarrassment, thinking that after the party was over, he would use his authority to give them a 20% discount on the handling fee.

After all, as a partner here, Zhao Yuntao also knows something about antiques and curios. In his opinion, the value of this small tripod is probably around this price. Xu Boan and Tang Xiaohu did not make much profit from buying this small tripod.

Therefore, we can only think about doing our best to help them get a discount on the handling fee. It is impossible to waive it completely. After all, this is an auction house opened by several people in partnership. The corresponding system is very complete, and no one has the right to violate it on the behalf of acquaintances. Otherwise, if everyone did this, this business would have collapsed long ago.

When doing business in partnership, the most important principle is that partners must strictly abide by the rules and cannot have any ulterior motives, otherwise the business will not last long.

Zhao Yuntao remembers that when he was young, he read a biography of the founder of a listed company, which contained a very profound example.

It is said that when this big boss first started a business with his friends and achieved some success, his family wanted him to help arrange for a few relatives to work in the company.

After the boss refused the matter in accordance with the agreement he had previously discussed with his partners, he did not expect that his mother would be too upset. On the one hand, she felt that she had lost face, and on the other hand, she felt that the boss could not distinguish between insiders and outsiders. So she went to the company to find the boss again and again and cried and made a fuss, morally blackmailing him for ignoring his relatives and making herself lose face.

Even so, the boss was not shaken at all. He even knelt down in front of his mother and asked her to understand his entrepreneurial path. This calmed his mother's excitement. After that, no one in his family of relatives dared to trouble the boss with the same thing again.

The reason is simple. In terms of economy, you can help as much as you can, but when it comes to the operation and management of the company, you will never allow unrelated people to interfere. This largely avoids many risks for start-ups.

Xu Bo'an didn't say much about Zhao Yuntao's watching. After all, he was doing business and it was not good to offend customers.

Put yourself in other people's shoes and understand each other!

However, the matter has developed to this point, and Tang Xiaohu's face must be restored for him. After all, he was the one who helped to blow the big talk, and now he naturally cannot let his brother lose face.

Xu Boan waved to Zhao Yuntao who was standing nearby and said, "Boss Zhao, do you have a cutting machine here?"

Zhao Yuntao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't have it here, but I must have what Mr. Xu wants. There's a big store on the street ahead that is dismantling the old decoration and preparing for the new one. I'm sure they have a cutting machine. I'll ask someone to rent it now."

Xu Boan instructed: "Okay, thank you for your help. By the way, it would be best if you could invite the operator over as well."

Xu Boan thought of using a cutting machine to cut open the surface of the small tripod furnace, but not everyone has the professional cutting technology.

Therefore, Xu Boan simply found a professional cutting machine master to use his professional skills to cut the small tripod open to reveal its true appearance!
Hearing Xu Boan's words, Zhao Yuntao immediately responded: "Okay, Mr. Xu, no problem."

Zhao Yuntao felt a little guilty for not being able to help Xu Boan just now. After all, Xu Boan had always been nice to him, and now he came here just for his face, otherwise he would not have encountered such ridicule.

However, due to his status, he was unable to publicly support Xu Boan. Zhao Yuntao was afraid that Xu Boan might have some bad impression of him.

Hearing Xu Boan's instructions, Zhao Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that Xu Boan had better vision than himself.

In comparison, Zhao Yuntao naturally did not feel embarrassed about such a small matter. Instead, he felt that Xu Boan did not treat him as an outsider.

But Xu Bo'an didn't think so much in his mind. He had gained a lot from coming here today.

Moreover, Xu Boan gave Zhao Yuntao so much face today. Not only did he come to show his support, but he also spent a lot of money. He definitely gave Zhao Yuntao enough face. So Xu Boan just said what he wanted to say directly and naturally did not play tricks on Zhao Yuntao.

Zhao Yuntao did not hesitate to answer the question raised by Xu Boan and quickly arranged it.

After a while, a professional cutting machine master was brought in along with a set of portable cutting machine equipment.

The welding master was an old man who looked to be in his fifties. He carried a green canvas bag on his back, held a cutting machine in one hand and a large mask in the other to prevent any dangerous head injuries while cutting.

The staff at the auction house called the old master over, whispered a few words into Zhao Yuntao's ear, and then left.

Zhao Yuntao nodded, waved to the cutting machine master, and said, "Hello, master, this boss is looking for you. If he has any needs, just listen and help him."

The cutting machine master nodded with a simple smile on his face and greeted Xu Boan politely: "Hello, boss."

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "What's your name?"

The cutting machine master waved his hand and said, "My surname is Li."

Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Master Li, it's like this. I have a little thing here, which is this thing."

As he spoke, Xu Boan pointed to the small tripod and showed it to the cutting machine master.

Then he introduced: "It's like this, my tripod has two layers. I need you to help me cut off the outer shell of the tripod. Be careful not to damage the inner layer."

What? Double-decker!
Hearing Xu Boan's words, the confused cutting machine master felt nothing in his heart.

But some of the onlookers were shocked.

Especially the pretty boy, his heart skipped a beat and he was a little confused for a moment. His teacher was an expert in archaeology. He said that this thing was the Nine-Turn Universe Cauldron from the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't say that the Nine-Turn Universe Cauldron had two layers!
The cutting machine master was not surprised at all because he had no idea what this thing was.

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the cutting machine master nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand, boss. Please move away from me. I'm going to get ready."

"Okay, thank you, Master Li." As he spoke, Xu Bo'an and the others stepped back a little.

Then I saw the cutting machine master packing up the tools he brought, and then carefully checked the structure of the small tripod and found a suitable cutting point.

Then he picked up the heavy protective mask and plugged in the cutting machine.
Soon, Master Li started to work. He first used a grinding wheel to gently grind the raised part of the outer shell of the small tripod. Then, he slowly placed the small tripod on the blade. In an instant, yellow and blue sparks flew everywhere, like bursts of gorgeous fireworks.

The small tripod moved slowly in Master Li's hand, making a hissing sound, like a strange music.

Tang Xiaohu stood nervously aside, staring at Xiaoding without blinking, afraid of missing any details.

He was also very worried that if the priceless ancient tripod that Xu Boan mentioned was really destroyed, he would suffer a huge loss.

Fortunately, Master Li's technique is skillful and steady. He constantly adjusts the cutting angle and strength to ensure that the crack extends along the predetermined trajectory while avoiding damaging the small tripod inside.

As the small tripod moved, a tiny and even crack gradually appeared on the black shell.

As the crack widened, Master Li became more careful, sometimes pausing to tap the edge of the crack with a small hammer to check the progress of the cutting, and sometimes speeding up to completely sever some lingering parts so as to promote the cutting of the next part.

Finally, after more than half an hour, Master Li's hard work finally resulted in a circle of cracks being cut into the small black tripod. With just a slight bend, the black outer shell was completely cut open with a crisp sound.

For a moment, all the onlookers were stunned.

Because inside this tripod, there is indeed an even smaller tripod!
The pretty boy was stunned.

There’s really something in here!

This thing is what this construction site dog relies on?

Although the pretty boy didn't know what this thing was, he thought of his teacher in an instant and hurriedly called him.

As soon as the call was connected, he said impatiently: "Teacher, the tripod they are selling... yes, yes, it is the Nine-Turn Universe Tripod from the Ming Dynasty that you mentioned!

That tripod has two layers... Yes, you heard it right, it really has two layers! They cut open the outer layer and took out a smaller tripod from the inside... OK, come over here, I'll wait for you!"

At this moment, the cutting machine master had carefully picked up the small tripod and gently handed it to Xu Boan.

Xu Bo'an didn't care about this thing at all. He handed it to Tang Xiaohu and said, "Here, take a good look! This thing is worth a fortune!"

Tang Xiaohu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly took the small tripod with both hands. Then he held it in his hands and looked at it from left to right, unable to let it go.

This small tripod is only slightly bigger than a palm. It has a round body and a slightly raised belly that is full and round, like a full moon, which makes it look both stable and agile.

The ears of the tripod are raised high, with smooth and powerful lines, shaped like animal horns, adding a bit of majesty and mystery.

The most amazing thing is the three legs under the tripod. Each leg is carved into the shape of an animal, either a dragon or a tiger, in various shapes and lifelike, as if ready to leap at any time.

They strongly support the body of the tripod, and at just one glance, they reveal a simple and vivid beauty.

"What...what is this?" Someone at the scene expressed doubts, and many people also looked at Xu Boan. After all, when cutting just now, the cutting machine master cut according to Xu Boan's requirements.

Everyone is not a fool, so they naturally understand that this means that it was Xu Boan who saw the mystery of this cauldron.

Before Xu Boan could answer, suddenly, a cry of surprise came from outside the crowd.

"Zilong Ding! No, the Zilong Ding is much bigger than this one, and it's still in the museum. This is not the Zilong Ding."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the professor of archaeology, the pretty boy teacher, had returned.

When the pretty boy saw his teacher coming, he hurriedly stood beside the teacher and said anxiously: "Teacher, how much is this thing worth?"

The professor did not answer the question directly, but simply shook his head and said, "It is incalculable!"

The pretty boy was so depressed that he asked with a sullen face, "Teacher, if it's the cheapest, how much is this thing worth?"

The professor didn't care about anything else. He stared at the small tripod and said again, "How can I be qualified to price such a treasure? This is an ancient tripod from the Shang Dynasty. It's a miracle that it can be preserved so perfectly."

The second half of the sentence was obviously spoken from the heart, not just a chat with anyone.

The pretty boy asked unwillingly, "Then we need a rough reference. Teacher, can you give us a rough estimate of the lowest price for this thing?"

The professor sighed and said, "Let me tell you this. In recent years, there have not been many antiques from the Shang Dynasty in major auction houses. Even if there are any, the lowest price is several million or tens of millions."

The pretty boy's face turned even uglier when he heard this, and he muttered, "How many millions is this thing worth?"

The professor shook his head and said, "That's the price of something of very poor quality. This quality is simply perfect, and it's far from being a high-end item."

Hearing his teacher's words, the pretty boy gave up completely. His face suddenly changed. He took out his cell phone and pretended that the signal was bad. He looked for a signal and walked outside while saying "hello". (End of this chapter)
