crazy smart

135: Beauty pageant "Boss, I remember that one of them was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and he still looks like he is going to enter the Normal University."

The skinny thief's words aroused the thoughts of the tall thief. He recalled a little, and immediately added the report: "Boss, Monkey is right. The boy we hate the most is called Lin Li. He is the number one student in the college entrance examination. The school is the Normal University not far from us. Also, the fat man with the carnelian rosary seems to have a bit of spare money at home, and his father got him into the Medical University through connections."

"Normal University and Medical University! It's really a narrow road to the enemy, and they are all studying on our site. Isn't this a gift from God or something!"

Hearing this, the bearded boss finally smiled.

"Lin Li, champion, normal university, medical university..."

"It is enough to have this information.

Then the bearded boss murmured, his eyeballs kept rolling, obviously thinking about some conspiracy and trap.At the end of the calculation, the bearded boss said to Monkey and the three of them: "Okay, don't go out to make troubles recently, just practice in the sanda field if you have nothing to do, and turn these two blind boys out while resting."

"Yes, boss!"

The three monkeys responded in unison.

Now that the boss personally came forward to avenge them, this is a very happy thing. The three monkeys, who had been holding back their stomachs for a long time, began to associate with Pianpian, and were planning how to abuse Lin Li and Mi Dajun.

And the corner of the bearded man's mouth curled up into a cruel smile, and he murmured: "The old bear is finished, and even his underground boxing ring was copied. It made the old man very angry, and even I was scolded bloody." It’s just a matter of venting out on these two clumsy guys. If their family has money, it’s even better, and maybe I can get some sweetness from them.”

The monkey reminded viciously: "Boss, one of them moved to a new house, and the other dared to bring this rosary worth 20 yuan with him. It can be seen that their family will have some money."

"That couldn't be better."

Hearing this, the bearded man's smile became even brighter.

And all the people at the scene laughed cooperatingly, and for a while, the whole food stall with poor sanitation was like a haunted house, full of eerie smells.

……

……

And on the other side.

Although Lin Li is not afraid of seeing the police, it is a trouble after all.Anyway, the matter is already clear, there is no need to add more trouble to them, go early and feel at ease.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Li and Mi Dajun appeared in another unknown bustling street, and began their stroll and chat.But at this time, they had a lot of mutton skewers in their hands, and they chatted while eating, not to mention how relaxed they were.

Mi Dajun sighed: "Hey, we really have the same taste! We both like food, and we don't like dealing with the police, and we also like violence."

Lin Li corrected: "Remind me, I don't like violence."

"That's weird!"

Seeing Lin Li's previous methods, Mi Dajun scoffed.

Lin Li recalled Mi Dajun's previous living habits, and asked, "Dami, didn't you used to walk if you could lie down, and stand up if you could sit? Why did you suddenly change your habit and take the bus instead of taking a taxi? "

Mi Dajun replied with a bitter face: "It's not because of this body!"

Lin Li asked, "Your parents want you to lose weight?"

Mi Dajun nodded, and said helplessly: "The last time I went to the hospital, I was found to be slightly obese. In order to prevent me from getting double height at a young age, my parents actually followed the advice of that unscrupulous doctor. Compressed my living expenses, and asked me to do sports and do coolies. No, I ran out in such hot weather because I helped my dad get some missing medicinal materials. And I don’t have that much money, so I just If I can take the bus, I don’t want such a thing to happen.”

Lin Li squeezed the fat on Mi Dajun's stomach, and replied with a smile, "I understand how Uncle and Auntie feel."

Mi Dajun replied exaggeratedly: "I didn't expect that you didn't understand me! I'm so disappointed!"

But seeing the end of the street in front of him, Mi Dajun stopped talking nonsense, took out the carnelian rosary beads, and asked, "Lin Li, do you like this string of carnelian rosary beads?"

Lin Li did not deny it.

Mi Dajun thought for a while and said, "You saved me once today. If it wasn't for you, this string of carnelian beads would have been lost. If you really want it, I'll give it to you."

Lin Li asked in surprise, "Is this a treasure worth 20 yuan?"

Unexpectedly, Mi Dajun replied, "My life is worth more than 20 yuan!"

Finally, he added: "If you treat me as a friend, don't refuse!"

Lin Li thought for a while, then directly took out a cash check that he had prepared with him, digitally signed it, and handed it to Mi Dajun, saying, "Brother, we will settle accounts! If you treat me as a friend, accept it!"

"You are strong!"

Being treated by Lin Li in his own way, Mi Dajun has no temper at all, and accepts Lin Li's check honestly.

At this point, the topic is almost over, and at this time they just came to the end of the street.

Lin Li looked at the time and said, "Okay, then we'll score."

Mi Dajun nodded.

The two quickly made a small agreement, and after updating their contact information, they quickly dispersed their things.

Today's incident was just a small episode for Lin Li.The real value of the carnelian rosary, whose history can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty, does not lie in its history, but in its unique effect of +1 recovery speed. Its function is only one less incidental attribute than the mysterious origin and mysterious power of Bamen Gouyu That's all.If you wear carnelian rosary beads to practice, it has positive strategic significance when you engage in work such as gambling on stones and paintings that requires long-term identification and consumes mp.

And when he got home, Lin Li found out that there were guests at home again.

"The limited edition Chrysler is Zhou Xiaojie!"

When Lin Li saw the expensive limited-edition Chrysler, he knew who the visitor was.Thinking of the previous agreement, and remembering that the settlement time of his auction money is about to end, he hurried in.

"Xiao Li, you are finally back. Mr. Zhou has been waiting for you for half an hour."

Lin Tiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Li come back.

Although Zhou Xiaojie has no aura, the pressure on him is still not small.In particular, Zhou Xiaojie's knowledge in antique appreciation made it difficult for Lin Tiancheng, who is very conceited, to cope with it. Even if Lin Tiancheng didn't show his defeat, he was still in a cold sweat, but Zhou Xiaojie was still chic and calm, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all. look.

Seeing his father leave in despair, Lin Li couldn't help being a little amused.He didn't throw appraisal skills at Zhou Xiaojie, but he only knew that as the owner of the auction house, Zhou Xiaojie's appreciation ability was definitely not inferior to his father's, or even surpassed.

"Xiao Li, I'm afraid my brother has a responsibility this time!"

When the scene was empty, Zhou Xiaojie immediately showed a sense of apology. Facing Lin Li's puzzled expression, he took out a document report and handed it to Lin Li.

Lin Li took a cursory look, and his brows were indeed furrowed.

This information report records in detail the transaction price of Lin Li's so-called entrusted auction items.Needless to say, the price of Zhang Daqian's works released by Lin Li was only more than 1300 million yuan, which was far lower than his estimate.

Ao knows that Zhang Daqian's works are a brand, and they are the only transcendent existence in the domestic modern calligraphy and painting market that can be compared with Mr. Baishi.

1987年他的《桃源图》在苏富比拍卖中以187万港元成交；1989年他的《松壑飞泉图》在苏富比拍卖中以287万港元成交；1991年他的《灵岩山色》在佳士得拍卖中以429万港元成交；1992年他的《青城山》四屏在苏富比拍卖中以748万港元成交；1994年他的《幽谷图》在苏富比拍卖中以816万港元成交；1999年他的《荷花》四屏被佳士得拍至829万港元。

And Zhang Daqian's masterpiece "One Flower, One World" set an unprecedented price of more than 5000 million NT dollars and 6000 million NT dollars in two charity sales in Taiwan. In 2002, Sotheby's autumn auction came with record-breaking news: Zhang Daqian's "Splashing Colors and Lotus Screen", which was originally estimated at about 1500 million Hong Kong dollars, was finally sold for 2022 million Hong Kong dollars after a round of fierce bidding, breaking the record of modern Chinese art. The world record for the highest transaction price of calligraphy and painting.

It is no surprise that Zhang Daqian's auctioned works have broken through the million mark. Almost every year, several major auction houses sell works of more than or close to one million yuan in each auction.In recent years, along with the gradual heating up of investment in antiques and artworks, the works of Zhang Daqian, which is already a well-known domestic brand, have risen even higher, and the annual auction amount has increased at an incredible rate.

Although the work of Zhang Daqian obtained by Lin Li is not his pinnacle work, it is also a rare masterpiece, definitely not under the "Splashing Colors and Vermilion Lotus Screen" which sold for 2022 million Hong Kong dollars.But now it's just shooting such a result, how can Lin Li not be disappointed.

You know, Lin Li intends to rely on Zhang Daqian's works to make up for the hole.

Seeing the unconcealable disappointment in Lin Li's expression, Zhou Xiaojie knew that it was his own negligence, and quickly said, "Xiao Li, this time it was my brother's negligence that he actually invited a group of old fried dough sticks to compete, causing the auction to be far lower than yours and mine's." It will cause you a huge loss. So not only will my brother not charge you commission this time, but the funds lent to you before will be converted into interest-free loans."

"never mind!"

Lin Li did some calculations, and this auction only got about 2800 million yuan, which is nearly 3700 million yuan short of the [-] million yuan.

Lin Li owed Zhou Xiaojie a favor before, so he took the opportunity of raising funds to repay the favor.If he accepted Zhou Xiaojie's kindness now, that favor would continue, and Lin Li would never accept it.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Li said: "Brother Jie, take back the things I mortgaged to you before, and Gong Xian's "The Strange Rock" will continue to be mortgaged, as if I borrowed 1000 million yuan from Jie." , I will definitely pay it back before September.”

In any case, the auction money must be repaid first.

"Don't be so anxious, right?"

Zhou Xiaojie couldn't hear Lin Li's dissatisfaction, but it was indeed his fault, so he could only make up for it and said, "Don't worry about the 1000 million yuan, as long as Xiao Li accompany me to a beauty pageant, the two will be settled."

"beauty pageant?"

"What is this and what is it!"
