After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Honey? I'd better take a look."

Of all the people present today, Shi Linfeng, the president of the Jiangcheng Jade Association, is the most distinguished.

Next are these few.

Shi Linfeng clearly wanted to befriend Ye Tian, ​​and Ye Tian understood that perfectly well.

"Old Zhang, please open the treasure quickly."

A smooth sheet of black velvet was laid on the stone table.

On top was a sandalwood brocade box.

When Old Zhang opened the brocade box, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Inside the brocade box lay a white jade pendant, its texture warm and lustrous, with faint yellowish-brown stains in some areas.

The sculpture depicts a woman dancing gracefully, with long sleeves and a lithe figure. The lines of her hair and clothing are smooth and beautiful.

The woman's posture was graceful, as if she were about to fly out of the jade at any moment.

Zhou Shichang and Li Youfu's eyes immediately lit up with eager anticipation.

Shi Linfeng first put on extremely thin white gloves, then gently picked up the jade pendant and brought it to the large professional magnifying glass in front of him, beginning to examine it little by little.

He examined it extremely slowly and meticulously, from the overall outline to every detail of the carving, and then to the transition between the jade's texture and the patina.

The magnifying glass was almost touching the surface of the jade pendant.

Zhou Shichang and Li Youfu also came closer to examine it carefully.

Ye Tian sat a little further away, without activating his X-ray vision ability.

He was more interested in seeing how the president of the jade association could determine the authenticity of an antique jade piece with the naked eye.

Shi Linfeng stared at it for a full three minutes.

Finally, he put down the magnifying glass, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he gently placed the jade pendant back into the brocade box.

"Old Shi, what do you think of this jade pendant?" Zhang Shouren couldn't help but ask.

Shi Linfeng pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Ye Tian: "Mr. Ye, why don't you take a look?"

Is Chairman Shi also unsure?

All eyes instantly focused on Ye Tian.

That old fox is testing him.

Ye Tian composed himself, picked up the jade pendant, and carefully examined the fluttering sleeves of the jade dancer.

The lines are continuous, the curves are beautiful, and the knife work is clean and neat.

But... his brows gradually furrowed.

Where the long sleeve turns on the right side near the body, the arc of the sleeve, which should have been a smooth, continuous movement, seems to have a slight flaw.

It's not a break, but rather a subtle pause within the flow, like a barely perceptible slight off-key note in a pop song.

Such a small flaw would have gone unnoticed if he hadn't been so observant.

According to the information provided by the Heavenly Eye Divine Power regarding the identification of treasures.

Jade craftsmen of the Han Dynasty, especially those in the imperial workshops, had reached a level of mastery in controlling lines, making such subtle flaws at key dynamic points extremely rare.

"Then let me share my opinion."

I believe this is a white jade pendant with a patina resembling a dancing figure from the Han Dynasty.

The overall quality, texture, and patina are all excellent, suggesting it is from the Western Han Dynasty.

but……"

He stretched out his hand and pointed in the air to the bend in the right sleeve of the Jade Dancer that was close to her body.

"I noticed that the lines of the sleeves here, while flowing and graceful, seem to have a very small flaw."

Given the skill of Han Dynasty court jade craftsmen in handling such dynamic clothing lines, it is truly unacceptable that such a flaw appears here.

I think this is a replica of a jade dancer made by a skilled folk jade craftsman during the Western Han Dynasty, not a genuine jade dancer from the Western Han court.

Although it originated from the Western Han Dynasty and is now over 2000 years old, its excellent preservation makes it still very valuable.

After Ye Tian finished speaking, Zhang Shouren immediately picked up a magnifying glass and examined the jade pendant closely at the right sleeve.

A few dozen seconds later, a look of extreme surprise flashed in Zhang Shouren's eyes.

"President Ye has a really good eye," Zhang Shouren couldn't help but exclaim.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, now you believe me, right?"

Mr. Ye is not only skilled at gambling on stones, but also has an excellent eye for appraising various treasures.

Such a subtle flaw would be completely unnoticed by the average person.

Not only did President Ye discover it, but he also used this minor flaw to determine that it was not an item from the palace.

Indeed, jade pendants carved in the shape of dancing women originated in the Warring States period and flourished during the Han Dynasty.

People in the Han Dynasty believed that singing and dancing could communicate with the gods.

Jade dancers often appear in various jade pendants, worn close to the body. They serve not only as decoration but also as a religious symbol to guide the soul to heaven and to enjoy eternal peace and prosperity through song and dance.

This is no ordinary dancer, but an incarnation of a "shaman" or a celestial musician and dancer who can communicate with gods and humans.

The Jade Dancer of the Imperial Court was an exclusive item for emperors and feudal lords. It was usually a conjoined double figure with dragon and phoenix patterns.

My assessment of this piece also comes from a skilled jade craftsman in the Western Han Dynasty. Although it wasn't an imperial artifact, its value is still very high.

Upon hearing the introduction by Shi Linfeng, president of the Jiangcheng Jade Association.

Zhou Shichang and Li Youfu looked at Ye Tian with even more admiration.

Shi Linfeng has studied jade his whole life, so it's not surprising that he can tell the difference.

Ye Tian simply held it in his hand, glanced at it briefly, and found it to be exactly the same as what Shi Linfeng had said.

He's only in his early twenties, yet he possesses such incredible insight; his future achievements are simply immeasurable.

"President Shi and President Ye, you are both truly remarkable. You have broadened my horizons."

Li Youfu flattered him.

Shi Linfeng burst into laughter: "I knew it. President Ye has a natural insight into jade."

"Mr. Ye, what do you think the value of this jade dancer is?"

"Starting price: 1500 million, no upper limit!"

Ye Tian quoted the price without hesitation.

1500 million is the market price given by Tianyan Shentong, but if it comes into the hands of a collector who really likes it, the price is hard to say.

After all, the jade dancer also has historical value and unpredictable religious significance.

"That's right, the market price is 1500 million per piece."

However, this complete set consists of 8 pieces, and if you can collect them all, they will be priceless.

If Mr. Ye comes across any other seven pieces at the antique market, please let me know. I will definitely buy them at a high price.

Zhang Shouren spoke earnestly, seemingly showing great interest in the other seven jade dancer figures.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will definitely keep an eye on things for you."

I see that Mr. Zhang really likes antique jade. I have a Han Dynasty jade amulet; I wonder if Mr. Zhang would be interested?

Ye Tian suddenly remembered that the Han Dynasty jade talisman he won was still in his hand and had not yet been sold.

Since Zhang Shouren has a strong interest in ancient jade, he should be able to offer a good price.

"Let me see it quickly!" Zhang Shouren urged impatiently.

Zhang Shouren's eyes lit up when he saw the Han Dynasty jade talisman in Ye Tian's hand.

"This three-dimensional, round-carved ancient jade piece has a raised head and open mouth, with wings on its body, and is fitted with a gilded base."

It is an extremely rare jade amulet from the Han Dynasty.

Mr. Ye, I wonder if you'd be willing to part with this? I'm willing to offer 3500 million.

As soon as Zhang Shouren finished speaking, Li Youfu started to raise the price: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, but I also really like this Han Dynasty jade amulet."

I'm willing to pay 5000 million!

"Xiao Li, why are you stealing my antique jade when you're in the jewelry business?"

Give me some face, I'll offer 6000 million, then don't try to compete with me.

"I definitely won't compete with you for the imperial green jadeite when you're taking pictures later."

Zhang Shouren really liked it and was willing to pay twice the price.

"If that's what you're saying, Mr. Zhang, then I won't argue with you anymore. You can take it."

Although Li Youfu also liked the jade scepter from the Han Dynasty, he wanted the imperial green jade in Ye Tian's possession even more.

After all, imperial green is the face of a jewelry company like theirs.

"Mr. Ye, give me your bank account number, I'll transfer the money to you now."

Ye Tian didn't expect to get 6000 million so quickly.

In the subsequent jade auction, Ye Tian's few pieces of jadeite rough, with a total value of less than 200 million yuan, were auctioned off for a sky-high price of 600 million yuan.

Adding to the 200 million yuan that Murong Qiming lost to Ye Tian in the jade gambling game, and the 100 million yuan that the jade gambling master Ma San lost, Ye Tian is now a super-rich man with a net worth of 1 billion yuan.

"No wonder they say gambling on jade can make you rich or poor in one cut; it's a quick way to make money!"

Ye Tian was filled with emotion at this moment!

"What should a man do when he has money?"
