145: Danshu "Such a strong medicinal fragrance."

Lin Li has always known that ginseng fragrance is one of the criteria to distinguish the true and false of ginseng, good or bad.And now the rush of ginseng fragrance is enough to explain a lot of things.

Seeing Lin Li's expression, Ma Lao murmured confidently: "As the first of the three treasures of Northeast China, wild ginseng has always been called magical grass and goblin, but after years of excavation, wild old wild ginseng is becoming more and more difficult to search for." , Even in Jilin, where it originated, it is almost extinct, and currently there are only some in or around the Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve."

"and many more!"

Lin Li heard the meaning of the words, and asked anxiously: "Old Ma, you said this is wild old wild ginseng? Isn't it the Korean ginseng agreed in advance?"

Mr. Ma replied proudly: "Well, we agreed to see Korean ginseng before, but the old man felt that it would be difficult to be worthy of your status by relying on imported goods that are at most 30 years old. It just so happens that we are going to hold a special auction, and the finale is This old wild ginseng is more than 60 years old. However, this time Xiaoli brought enough emeralds of high quality, and we had to give a certain response.”

"Thank you Ma Lao."

Lin Li knows how difficult it is to find a wild old wild ginseng that is over 60 years old, let alone take it out for internal trading.

The most expensive one was a 30-year-old Ma Lao who replied: "Exchanging ginseng for jade is a good deal. At least we have reached a close business relationship with North Korea and have a fixed ginseng channel, so this On the other hand, it is very leisurely. On the contrary, it is jadeite, because the jadeite market is heating up, it is becoming more and more difficult for us to get high-quality jadeite, and your jadeite is the rain of long drought for us.”

"you flatter me!"

Lin Li was already very confident in his own jadeite, but now he was even more confident after listening to Ma Lao's heartfelt words, and he almost confirmed the sale this time.

At this time, the secretary respectfully brought the old wild ginseng to Lin Li.

Lin Li was not too polite, and pretended to start screening, but in fact he secretly identified:

Nearly a hundred years old mountain ginseng is a rare alchemy material.It can restore 500 hp and 200 mp instantly without any side effects.

This is the effect of the whole old mountain ginseng, but its terrible numbers are enough to explain many things.It's just that Lin Li can't be that extravagant, let's not say that his total hp and mp are not that high, just say that the word "Alchemy" is enough to explain many problems, Lin Li is not so stupid and impulsive.

"Nearly a hundred years is much longer than the 60 years Ma Lao said!"

Lin Li muttered for a while, and became more determined to buy, so he said: "Old Ma, the medicinal value of wild old wild ginseng is extremely high. It can treat women's metrorrhagia, men's premature ejaculation, and fatigue. Although the boy does not have these diseases , but it’s the best way to honor the elders. Mr. Ma, let’s make a price, as long as the price is right, our deal will be concluded.”

Seeing that Lin Li was so forthright and that he was not a mother-in-law, Mr. Ma said, "Xiao Li's boldness made the old man ashamed. The old man wanted you to have an appraisal just now."

Lin Li replied directly: "Smell the ginseng fragrance, look at the ginseng leaves, and with such dense spiral patterns and such uniform pearl spots, I don't need to do any more inspections."

Lin Li has read the Encyclopedia of Plants and learned some basic identification methods, so he has no problem coping with the situation in front of him.

"Xiao Li is indeed an expert!"

Hearing so many professional terms, Mr. Ma didn't know that Lin Li was very sure.

Now there are fewer and fewer wild ginseng, and the price is getting higher and higher, causing some criminals in the market to cheat, which seriously affects the market order, and also makes buyers be more careful. Almost all authentic wild ginsengs have to be identified by authoritative departments. Only then can you rest assured.

At this time, the appraisers also finished their appraisal work, and one of the oldest appraisers reported: "Mr. Ma, after the appraisal of our work, all of them are rare jadeites. Although quite a few of them are only mid-range , but in terms of the current market conditions, it still has a certain degree of attraction. Especially the yellow sun green ice variety, if it is handled properly, it can be promoted as the most shining selling point."

Mr. Ma accepted the report from the treasure appraisers and couldn't help but nodded.

In the end, Mr. Ma very bluntly handed the report to Lin Li, which was only convenient for internal circulation, and said, "Xiao Li, look at the suggested price above, do you think it is suitable?"

Waxy orchid purple, 40; ice yellow and green, 320 million; pine tree map emerald, 380 million...

Looking at a series of data, Lin Li's brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, which made Ma Lao and the treasure appraisers feel emotional, not knowing Lin Li's real intentions.

"Basically meaningless!"

After a long time, Lin Li unceremoniously pointed out two of the jadeites, and said, "Old Ma, except for the price of the waxy orchid purple and pine tree jadeites, which are not very satisfactory, the others are very suitable. If you don’t sell it, you can trade the rest.”

Hearing Lin Li's words, the well-behaved secretary immediately picked out the waxy orchid purple and the pine tree jade, and put them in front of Ma Lao.

It is now up to Mr. Ma to make the final judgment.

Ma Lao saw that the two pieces of jadeite are both good, the purple color of the orchid is a selling point, and the picture of the pine tree is a natural strange picture. willing to give up.

So Ma Lao asked: "Xiao Li, if the price is not suitable, we can discuss it."

Lin Li thought for a while before replying: "Not yet. A boss once offered 500 million yuan to buy the pine tree map jadeite from me, but I didn't sell it. The price gap here is too big, so I can only apologize. As for the waxy jadeite The orchid purple was my negligence because I wanted to carve it into jadeite jewelry as a gift."

"such a pity."

There was an uncontrollable regret on Ma Lao's face.

Lin Li apologized, "Mr. Ma, please forgive me for your negligence and greed."

Ma Lao waved his hands and replied: "It's okay, this is human nature. Maybe our vision is not high enough, and we follow the rhythm of many times."

Regarding Ma Lao's self-effacing, Lin Li could only respond with a wry smile.

It can be said that Lin Li spent a lot of money this time.Except for the two pieces he took back, the rest of the emeralds were all he was going to wait for the price to rise.

Thinking of those treasures such as waxy river green, hibiscus, tall mung bean, waxy orchid purple, colorless ice, etc. that were excavated in Yun Province, Lin Li couldn't help but feel lost.These emeralds are all high-quality gemstones, and the lowest grade can even enter the mid-range, so there is not much room for price increases.

Selling it now is like killing the hen that lays golden eggs.But because of the tens of millions of yuan owed, coupled with the financial pressure brought by the pawnshop, Lin Li had to make a little sacrifice.

If you like me, such a deal is naturally easy to complete.

After seeing the batch of Korean ginseng, Lin Li immediately nodded and signed a transaction contract with Mr. Ma to finalize the sale.

It's just because Lin Li's jadeite is too expensive, especially the few pieces of jadeite excavated in Qiyunlai later, which raised the total price of Lin Li's jadeite to tens of millions. The total price is only about 500 million.

In this way, Lin Li also received nearly 600 million compensation funds.

In this way, Lin Li, who was originally struggling, became rich again.Leaving aside Zhou Xiaojie's interest-free loan that would not be repaid until a long time later, the remaining 600 million yuan would not only enable Lin Tiancheng's pawn shop to open, but also reserve a little liquidity.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Lin Li shook hands with Ma Lao and drank a glass of celebratory wine together.

Ma Lao then invited: "Xiao Li, since you are here, why don't you visit our company. I heard that you are also an excellent appraiser, maybe you can give us some good advice."

"Then I'd rather be obedient than respectful."

Now that Lin Li has such a large batch of tonics without side effects, he can squander identification skills at will.

The reason why he was so concerned about this matter was that he had just made a verbal agreement before, and he killed the general the next day and concluded the deal quickly, all because of his job as an appraiser.

As the appraiser profession becomes more and more advanced, it is impossible to get proficiency in appraising ordinary things, so it is naturally impossible to upgrade.With the experience of betting on stones and paintings, Lin Li knew that the proficiency brought by identifying unknown items such as antiques and works of art was the most abundant.

He had wanted to bring a large amount of tonics to major museums and auction houses to practice appraisal skills, but now that he had a strong material foundation, he would be an idiot if he didn't implement it as soon as possible.

Lin Li then visited the Tianhe Auction House, known as the No. [-] auction house in Yangcheng, under Ma Lao's guidance.

Pointing to the auction hall, Mr. Ma said proudly: "This is our main auction hall. Tonight, there will be a special auction of Qing Dynasty antiques here. If Xiao Li is interested, you might as well come and have fun."

After the deal was concluded, Lin Li was very open-minded and joked, "If you want to play, you have to let me know what antiques you are shooting, right?"

"Bring our most advanced illustrated book."

Ma Lao stretched out his hand to give the order without thinking, but then said: "Forget it, let's go directly to the backstage to see the real thing, which is more real than the illustrated book."

"Thank you Ma Laocheng."

Lin Li not only had to look at it, but also to appraise it.

Before each auction, not only will each buyer be given a picture book, but also a small auction exhibition and exchange meeting will be held, so that buyers can appreciate and identify them first, so that buyers can have a more intuitive understanding. More investment, more willing to spend money.

"This is Gao Jian's painting!"

"This is Fu Shan's word!"

"This is Gao Qipei's landscape painting!"

As soon as he came to the backstage, Lin Li started his appraisal work.However, with his comments one by one, Mr. Ma and the others were terrified, and they all looked at Lin Li with incredible eyes.

You must know that their visits are walking slowly, and they just walk past at a glance, but Lin Li can distinguish the author with just one glance. Such identification skills are really terrifying, even those proud and conceited appraisers Hearing this, my heart was fluttering, and there was an indescribable strange feeling in my heart.

"what!"

Lin Li suddenly froze.

He was fascinated by a scrap of manuscript.

In the long history, countless precious manuscripts, calligraphy and paintings have disappeared.Even if they are well-preserved, there are some traces of history, and damaged manuscripts like the ones in front of us are extremely common.

But when Lin Li discovered that it was a medical book, his mind began to fluctuate.

No nonsense, just throw away an identification technique:

Incomplete alchemy.

Dan book!

Lin Li's eyes sparkled!
