Jianbao life

Chapter 572 Bixi
What the man brought this time shocked the old man, because it was too precious, it was actually the seal of Emperor Qianlong.

The material of this seal is high-quality Hetian white jade, which is in the shape of a cylinder as a whole. The top is a bas-relief pattern of double dragons holding the dry hexagram in earth red color, and the four characters "Taishang Emperor" in Zhuwen seal script are printed on the surface.Around the seal are inscribed imperial poems of Emperor Qianlong's "Self-inscribed Supreme Emperor's Treasure".

Although the old man doesn't know much about seals, he has some understanding of them after communicating with Quan Shan over the years. He feels that the quality of this seal jade is warm and delicate, and the engraving on the top button and the imperial poems around it are smooth and fine. The shape is natural, and it looks like a typical style of the Qianlong period.

The item was good, and the man asked for a high price, asking for 500 million.But if it is true, 500 million is really not expensive. I think that if I buy it, it will not be a problem to earn a few million. If it works well, it is not difficult to earn tens of millions. As for this thing is Stealing or robbing, what does it matter to him?
The only thing that makes Lao Cai feel a little embarrassed is that at this time he is not sure that the seal is real, but if Quan Shan is allowed to come, he will always have to share some profits with him in the end. It's easy to say, the key is that this is tens of millions of things, and the money distributed to Quanshan must be a lot, which makes him feel distressed when he thinks about it.

Old Cai thought about it, and finally, just to be on the safe side, he called Quan Shan and urged him to come over and help him.

Half an hour later, Quan Shan came to Lao Cai's shop profusely sweating. Seeing Quan Shan doing his best for himself, Lao Cai was also a little embarrassed by the idea just now, but he immediately put aside this idea. Friendship or something, where does the money come from?

After seeing the seal, Quan Shan dragged the old man to the back room, and told the old man with excitement and excitement that he was sure that the seal was genuine. Given the current market conditions, it is a conservative estimate. There must be twenty-five million.

With such a valuable thing, with the character of the old talent, it is of course impossible to believe in Quan Shan's judgment immediately, but the things that Quan Shan presented next immediately convinced the old man.

Quan Shan said that he left a copy of "Qianlong Baosou" in Laocai's shop a few days ago. This is a book that specifically introduces the imprint of Qianlong's imperial seal. If he remembers correctly, there is that seal in this book. Xi's introduction.

At this time, the old man's mind was full of the matter of the seal, and he didn't think of the coincidence at all. He quickly took the book over for a look, and found that there was indeed a clear description of the seal in it. After comparing it with the real thing Worthy, no matter the material, volume or size, or the layout of the seal and seal script, it is completely consistent with the records in the book.

With preconceived notions, coupled with the comparison in the book, the old man decided to buy it.However, he still had some doubts about the price of the seal, so he called several friends. After some inquiries, it was finally proved that the market price was indeed similar to what Quan Shan said. If it was put up for auction, it was likely to exceed 3000 million.

In addition to asking about the price, a friend of Lao Cai directly set the seal on the phone, and the price was as high as 800 million.

The old man couldn't help but be overjoyed that he could earn 300 million in just one pass. Of course, the seller was asking for a lot of money, so he had to sit back and pay back the money. In the end, the two sides fought each other and settled the deal at 1000 and [-] million.

Thinking that he was about to become a multi-millionaire, the old man almost burst out laughing, but what made him a little embarrassed was that he had only saved more than 600 million in cash after so many years of fraud, and he would not be able to borrow any more money. 600 million will do.

No one is rich these days, and 600 million is already an astronomical figure for ordinary people, and it is really not that easy to borrow.But thinking that 500 million was already waving to him, the old man gritted his teeth and not only asked his friends to borrow, but finally borrowed usury.

There was also a small episode during the period. Quan Shan told Lao Cai that he also had 200 million and wanted to partner with Lao Cai. This is a business worth tens of millions. How could Lao Cai let others get involved? Pushed things away, and it was precisely because of this that he would borrow usury.

Half a day later, the old talent raised 1000 and two million yuan, and hurriedly went to the bank to transfer the account, and the seal was also in the hands of the old talent.

When the item arrived, the old man liked it more and more, but he didn't do the thing of killing the donkey. Not only did he invite Quan Shan to a five-star hotel for a meal, but he also patted his chest at the dinner table. Guaranteed, when the item is sold, he will definitely pay Quan Shan a commission of 30.

Quan Shan expressed his gratitude to the old man, but he looked a little sullen. The old man also understood what was going on, but he was thick-skinned and didn't care about it at all. He had deceived so many people over the years. Many of them were his former friends.

The old man felt that he did not kill the donkey, and returned 30 yuan to Quanshan, which was considered as the best of benevolence.

The next day, the old man excitedly took the things to the friend who had ordered the seal before, and solemnly handed over the things to the friend. The friend also thought the seal was good, and couldn't stop playing with it. , but after being appraised by the palm eye master invited by a friend, the other party said it was a fake!
To the old man, this was like a bolt from the blue, he immediately refuted Master Zhangyan's conclusion, saying that this seal is recorded, and it must not be a fake.

Master Zhangyan was also very well prepared. He also brought the "Qianlong Baosou", and then pointed out the problems with this seal one by one.

Although the seal bought by Laocai is very similar to the real one, there is a problem with the material first. Although it looks similar, the texture is still somewhat different from the real one. In addition, there are also problems with the craftsmanship. Although Laocai has tried his best to imitate the seal of Qianlong The craftsmanship of the court craftsmen during the period, but some details were not handled properly.

When it comes to craftsmanship, Master Zhangyan took out a piece of jade pendant made by the imperial court during the Qianlong period. Compared with the two, the old man was ashamed to find that the craftsmanship displayed by the seal was indeed inferior to that of Master Zhangyan. The jade pendant that came out.

You know, the seal is used by the emperor, how could the engraver be inferior to the jade pendant?Unless the craftsman is dying.

Coming out of a friend's house in despair, the old man couldn't believe such a result for a while, so in the next two days, he took the seal to several larger auction houses, and in the end, without exception, he said that his seal was The seal is a fake.

Moreover, in the end, he also got a message from the last auction house that the authentic seal is still in France. It was looted back by the French general de Gercey in 1900. It is still lying quietly in the safe. How could it be possible? will appear in his hand.

So far, the old man has completely given up, but at first he was only thinking about how to pay back the money as soon as possible, and he didn't doubt Quan Shan's head, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt confused, and then he called again for several days. I couldn't get through to Quanshan's phone number, and finally got help from a friend, only to find that Quanshan's information was incorrect.

At this time, the old man still didn't understand that he had been tricked by Quan Shan.It took five or six years to set up the trap, and the other party invested nearly one million. For such a group of liars, he could only admire him besides a wry smile.

Next, in order to collect money, the old man also sold the store, and sold many of his collections for many years. Today, including the 68 that Chu Chen paid just now, he has almost paid off all the debts he owed. And he only has a house and a few not-so-good collections left, and his more than ten years of antique career has been for nothing.

After hearing the cause and effect, Chu Chen and the others looked at each other for a moment. They really didn't expect that someone would prepare for a scam for five or six years.

However, it took five or six years to get 1000 to [-] million defrauded, and during this period, some of them can go to other places to cheat, and the income is indeed enough. Those people are indeed a very powerful group. liar.

"Okay, it's a relief to say it, I'm going back now, and I have to pay back the mortgage on the house, or someone will go to my house to splash paint."

The old man took a sip of tea, stood up, greeted everyone, and left briskly.

Duan Ning sighed: "Although this old man's character is not good, but his mental capacity is quite good. If it were me, he might be completely devastated because of this."

Duan Kun quickly said: "Uncle Ning, it's better not to assume this matter!"

Duan Ning said with a smile: "What's the matter with this matter, it seems that the ending of the old man is actually the result of greed."

Liu Sizhe shook his head: "It's normal to be greedy. Who in the world is not greedy? The key is that the liar's methods are too clever. How many people in the world can see through this scam?"

"Yes!"

Duan Ning sighed softly, and the room was suddenly silent.

"Okay, let's not talk about this little trouble!"

Liu Sizhe waved his hand and said to Chu Chen: "Brother Chen, why did you think of buying such a cup for 68 yuan? If this cup is made of rhino horn, it would still be worth the price. Now..."

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "But I know what kind of material this cup is made of. I bought it for 68 yuan, and I got a great deal."

"What? Do you know what this is made of?" Everyone was surprised and asked in unison.

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, this cup should be made of Bixi."

"Bi Xi?" Liu Sizhe and Duan Ning suddenly exclaimed.

"What kind of rhinoceros is Bixi?" Duan Kun and Hu Yong looked confused.

Chu Chen smiled and explained: "In the ancient times of our country, due to the lack of knowledge, the explanation of some things was only imagined by people, so the rhino horn is not the same as the rhino horn, and the green rhinoceros is not a rhinoceros, but refers to The snake's horn..."
