After a short time, the clerk walked out with a man in his forties.

The man, who was wearing a pair of glasses and looked like the kind of craftsman who was obsessed with craftsmanship, first smiled and asked me, "Sir, do you want to buy a longevity lock?" ”

I smiled and said, "Yes, I have a friend's child who is about to turn the moon, so I wanted to choose a longevity lock as a gift." ”

The man smiled, "Your friend must be noble." ”

I laughed and said, "It's too expensive." ”

The man nodded and said, "Please follow me." ”

I smiled and agreed, and entered the back room with Da Zhuang.

Behind the shop is a courtyard, directly opposite is a three-story building, the boss took us to the third floor, the third floor aisle entrance added a large iron door, the iron door is closed, the boss opened the door, took us to the front of the third room outside.

The room was still closed, and there was a big iron door outside, and after the big iron door was opened, there was a wooden door inside, which was extremely well guarded, and it seemed that the things inside were very precious.

After the boss opened the door, he invited us into the house, but it was just a living room, with a table and a set of leather sofas, and there was only some furniture in the room, which didn't look special.

The boss said to wait a minute, and then went to the inner room, which was also blocked by a large iron gate, with a wooden door inside.

After he entered the back room, he came out a long time, holding a wooden box that looked relatively primitive.

The boss came to me and sat down, solemnly placed the wooden box on the table, opened the wooden box, and said with a smile: "This gentleman, look at the lock in here, whether it is suitable or not." ”

I looked into the box and saw that there was a longevity lock carved from white jade, engraved with the words "longevity and 100 years old", and the whole jade lock looked very exquisite.

I have never seen the color and luster of the jade, which looks particularly bright, warm and delicate, and there is hardly any flaw visible to the naked eye, like the fat of the fat sheep that has just been cut, and the luster is like condensed fat.

Although I didn't have any research on jade, when I saw this longevity lock, I naturally remembered mutton fat white jade in my mind, and immediately asked, "This is carved from mutton fat white jade?" ”

The boss smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. has also studied jade, and knows that this is mutton fat white jade." Mutton fat white jade is the top grade in jade, its value is dozens of times that of ordinary white jade, and the mutton fat white jade used in this longevity lock is even more of the top grade, which is even more rare. Look at the carvings on this. ”

When I heard the boss's words, I looked at it carefully, and I saw that there were Pisces playing in the water on it, which was exquisite.

The boss said: "I can't carve this carving, and it is impossible for a non-master to carve it." Sir, touch it again and see how you feel it. ”

I reached out and touched it, and I felt that the touch was warm and smooth, and the feeling was very special.

The boss smiled: "I feel that it is extraordinary, this is a good thing that cannot be seen on the market, the jade in my store outside, you can feel the difference if you take a piece of it." The jade itself is already very precious and valuable, but that's not the most valuable thing about it. ”

When I heard what my boss said, I became even more interested, saying, "What else is not the case?" ”

The boss smiled proudly and said: "This longevity lock has actually been inherited for a hundred years, and it has always been a family heirloom of my family. ”

I was surprised: "How could such a treasure fall into the hands of your family?" ”

The boss said: "I only know that my ancestor bought it from a big official, and the rest is not very clear. ”

I laughed and said, "Then how much does your longevity lock cost?" ”

The boss smiled: "This longevity lock has a price, if it is auctioned publicly, I don't know how many people will compete for it." ”

I knew he was trying to raise the price, so he smiled, "You better just make a bid." ”

The boss gestured a finger and said, "This number." ”

I laughed and said, "A million? ”

In his heart, he understood that if such a treasure was real, it would be absolutely impossible to have a million, and he just offered a random price.

The boss smiled: "You are joking, how can such a treasure of one million be possible?" ”

I said, "How much is that?" Ten million? It's too high. ”

The boss still shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that you have no intention of buying it, forget it." "After that, I will go to collect the longevity lock.

I smiled and said, "You shouldn't be asking for 100 million, how is this possible?" ”

The boss smiled: "This treasure is worth 100 million, you can find a knowledgeable person to take a look." ”

I shook my head and smiled, "Impossible, spend 100 million to buy a longevity lock, unless I'm crazy." ”

The boss shook his head with a smile, closed the wooden box, and said, "Then there is no way." ”

I stood up and walked out with Da Zhuang, but I kept thinking in my heart, that longevity lock is really worth 100 million?

If that longevity lock is real, it has an extraordinary origin and is extremely collectible, but if you want to buy it for 100 million, I'm not so crazy.

But what I fancy is this longevity lock, if it is really from the royal family, and it was the prince's thing back then, then it will become unusual.

I hope that my son will become the crown prince and ascend the throne as the Emperor of Dayan.

Out of the jade shop, I thought about it, and finally made a phone call to Lord Hou.

"Hey, big brother, do you know an antique appraiser?"

As soon as Lord Hou answered the phone, I asked.

Lord Hou was surprised: "What are you looking for an antique appraiser?" ”

I said, "I have my eye on a precious antique, but I don't know if it's real or not, and I want to find someone to identify it." ”

Hou Junjue thought for a while and said, "I know a little bit about antiques, I can help you take a look." ”

When I heard Hou Junjue's words, I was overjoyed, but I ignored that Hou Junjue was from a famous family, and naturally there would be some research on antiques, so I immediately told Hou Junjue the address, and Hou Junjue said on the spot that he would come over immediately.

I waited at the entrance of the jade shop for about ten minutes, and Hou Junjue drove in, and I took Hou Junjue to enter the jade shop again and asked the clerk to call the boss.

The boss came out and saw us again, smiled and said, "What? Sir, have you thought about it? ”

I laughed and said, "I have some ideas, bring a friend over and ask him to give me some advice, boss, can you let us see it again?" ”

The boss smiled: "Of course." Then he turned and led the way.

We went back to the room we had just had, the boss was very cautious, the door had been closed, reopened the door, went to the back room and took out the longevity lock.

As soon as the wooden box was opened, Lord Hou's eyes lit up, as if he had seen something that excited him.

He then took out a magnifying glass and wrapped it around the longevity lock, watching it with a sigh of admiration.

After looking at it for a while, he raised his eyes and looked at the boss and said, "How do you sell this longevity lock?" ”

I laughed and said, "He offered 100 million." ”

Hou Junjue shook his head and said with a smile: "Although this longevity lock is a treasure from the palace, it is only more than a hundred years old, and it is not worth the price. ”

The boss said: "It turned out to be a big connoisseur, so how much do you think it's worth?" ”

Hou Junjue said: "Eight million, a fixed price, I can make the decision for my friend." ”

The boss shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that you have no intention of buying it, forget it." ”

Hou Junjue said: "Then how much do you want, tell me the price." ”

The boss said: "The minimum is 80 million, and if you don't sell it less." ”

Hou Junjue smiled: "That's impossible, I'll also give a fixed price, 20 million, if you don't sell it, forget it." ”

The boss said, "Then there is no way." ”

Lord Hou gave me a look and motioned for us to leave.

I stood up and walked out with the Lord-in-Waiting.

Walking out of the room, we walked down the stairs, and as we went, we asked, "Big brother, is that thing real?" ”

Lord Hou said: "It's true, but his price is too high, and it's not worth it." ”

I said, "In my eldest brother's estimation, how much is it worth?" ”

Hou Junjue thought for a while and said: "This estimate is not accurate, it depends on the timing of the shot, but thirty or forty million is still worth it, if he promises twenty million, you can take it without hesitation, and you can make money by changing hands." ”

I nodded, and then walked downstairs with Lord Hou.
