Three hundred and twentieth chapters low status
Everyone looked here in surprise. A rotten wooden box was being asked for one million. Are you crazy?
But Liu Jianfeng did not hesitate to transfer the payment. After the payment arrived, the staff member excitedly said to Liu Jianfeng: "Sir, you are really discerning and a great expert."
Everyone was even more confused now. How come the rotten wooden box is still a treasure?
Some people couldn't help but ask: "What does this box mean?"
The staff member gave a wry smile and said, "Let this gentleman speak for himself."
Liu Jianfeng smiled slightly, and after being urged by Old Man Lin, he said, "It seems I didn't make a mistake. This wooden box is indeed ebony!"
Ebony? As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. This ebony is also called gloomy wood. It is a wood that has experienced major changes and disasters such as vicissitudes of life in history, causing trees to topple and be buried at the bottom of rivers, lakes and seas. After thousands of
After tens of thousands of years of rest, it can be called ebony.
Among them, sandalwood, nanmu, fir, etc. are the most valuable, and they are contained in the world, and they are non-renewable, so they are very valuable. Their properties are solid, high density, not invading by mosquitoes, and extremely resistant to corrosion. Therefore, ancient
The emperors at that time wanted to find ebony to make a coffin to protect the body from decay for thousands of years.
In front of me, this rare piece of wood was actually made into a wooden box. Although the original owner didn't know much about it, he was probably found and picked up by Yan Jingsheng.
He deliberately arranged to place the wooden box in an inconspicuous place, and even used it to carry and carry it. He didn't want to attract attention, but he also wanted to be elegant. Unexpectedly, Liu Jianfeng discovered it.
People then took a closer look at the rotten wooden box. Those who knew it were shocked to find that the texture on it was not rotten and cracked, but golden thread. This damn thing was actually golden nan.
The golden nanmu itself is valuable, not to mention the ebony that has been deposited for thousands of years. Although it is not a whole piece of wood and has been made into a wooden box, the asking price of one million is not much at all.
The buyer leaves a lot of room for value.
For example, at this time, a famous sculptor came to Liu Jianfeng and said: "Young man, please transfer this ebony box to me for two million."
The old man Lin was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue when he heard this. He made a net profit of one million out of thin air. He knew that it was easy to make money in the antique business, but this damn thing changed hands twice as much, which was easier than a strong wind.
But this was just the first quotation. Someone next to him immediately questioned: "Lao Kan, you are dishonest. You bought this wooden box for two million. After taking it apart, the wood is enough for you to carve a set of Eighteen Arhats. Your carving skills will increase."
It’s not unusual for such top-quality wood to be sold for tens of millions.”
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard it. Then they saw that the bidder, whose surname was Kan, was actually the leading carving master in the wood carving industry today, Kan Jingxing. The speaker was also a famous wood carving master in the industry, and his wood art works were also very popular in the industry.
.
"Young man, I'll pay you three million, and the wood will be transferred to me."
It has doubled again, and two masters of wood carving and woodworking are competing for price. The charm of this industry really makes people's blood rush.
Many people secretly regretted that they didn't realize that this rotten wooden box was a treasure, and the organizer was so bad. The venue was full of dazzling jewels, as if every piece was a peerless treasure, which made people dizzy, and everyone loves beauty.
Appreciating beauty is just like the model contest. At the beauty pageant, everyone naturally looks at the beautiful contestants. Who will pay attention to the handyman in the contest?
No, the two masters of wood carving and woodworking, who were born to work with wood, didn't notice it.
Therefore, it is even more surprising that Liu Jianfeng was able to find treasure.
"Assistant Liu is so good. I couldn't tell you that you are also an expert!" Old Man Lin said excitedly.
Liu Jianfeng had a wry smile on his face, and even the title was mistaken. In fact, he didn't recognize any of the hundreds of exhibits here, and he didn't understand any industry knowledge. Only his vision and experience were far beyond ordinary people.
In the royal tomb of King Caotou, he happened to see such ebony, which was made into a palace-style coffin. It was a masterpiece of ingenuity and rare in the world. And it happened that an archaeological expert explained it to him, and it still remains today.
Very impressive.
Liu Jianfeng originally thought that even if he advanced to the next round, he had no intention of making money, but the two masters insisted on it and started bidding against each other.
Liu Jianfeng said with a smile: "You two, don't argue. I just made a mistake. I took this top-grade ebony. It's a hidden secret for me. It's useless. In your hands, I can make it into something beautiful."
Art works complement each other.
Let's do it this way. You two don't need to increase the price. I'll give you both the original price of one million at the same time. As the saying goes, both of you are top masters in the industry. If we can cooperate once because of this piece of wood, wouldn't it be fate and a match made in heaven?
"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This guy is so awesome. He transferred it at the original price without adding any extra money and required the cooperation of two masters. This is not in line with the industry rules. If this is the case, no one will make any money. What a waste of fun.
The two masters were also shocked, and Old Man Lin was even more furious. How many times the profits and millions of cash were gone in just one sentence?
The two masters looked at Liu Jianfeng. His temperament was calm and his words were sincere. His demeanor must not be ordinary.
The two looked at each other, and the proposal of cooperation made them very interested. Master Mu Zuo said: "Xiaoyou takes it seriously?"
"In front of everyone, how can you still tell nonsense?" Liu Jianfeng said with a smile: "This thing is just a broken wooden box now. It is a waste of natural resources for top-grade wood. If it can be made into top-grade wood in the hands of the two of you,
Only works of art are worth the money.”
"Okay, okay, my little friend is also a person who truly cherishes treasures. This magnanimity makes me feel ashamed." Master Kan said with shame, "In that case, old guy, what do you think?"
The master woodworker smiled and said: "Didn't I just say it, little friend, it's fate, a match made in heaven, you old guy is the most exquisite in carving figures, and my woodworker is good at ancient buildings, I don't think it's as good as this.
I will make a great Luo Palace..."
Master Kan's eyes lit up and he said: "Okay, then I will carve the Taoist Sanqing."
The two of them decided on the artwork for their first collaboration in just one word. As expected of masters, they are full of inspiration and come up with what they say. As for their work, Sanqing Taoist Master in the Daluo Palace, although it is just an idea, it makes people feel
I can't help but be fascinated by it, how beautiful it must be.
And more people are thinking, if two masters join forces to create top-grade ebony that is rare in the world, how much will the art be worth?
"My little friend has extraordinary eyesight and extraordinary knowledge, and his magnanimity is even more superior to others." Master Kan said: "I just looked at this wooden box. The Sanqing Daluo Palace we cooperated with should be enough. As for the rest,
I want to carve a small thing out of the materials and give it to the children to make a good connection."
"That's how it should be. This little friend regards millions as floating clouds. His magnanimity and magnanimity are far beyond ordinary people. I admire him endlessly. Why don't I make a 'watch' for my little friend, and then carve a picture of auspicious clouds and longevity."
The two masters immediately decided to use the remaining wood to make a blessing and longevity watch for Liu Jianfeng as a gift. Everyone was envious, not only about the wood, but also about the two masters.
The craftsmanship is enough to become a family heirloom, and it is hard to find for thousands of dollars. Thinking about it this way, the value may be more cost-effective than Liu Jianfeng's direct price of two million.
Especially after the mutual introduction between the two parties, people heard that Liu Jianfeng was just an assistant of the Lin Group. There were many local wealthy businessmen at the scene. They couldn't help but think to themselves that this might be the work of Old Man Lin. After all, the little assistant was not up to the level.
This is the realm where money is like dung.
For a while, many people came over to get close to Mr. Lin, and they flattered Mr. Lin and asked him for more advice.
Old man Lin himself refused to accept anyone who came, as if he really took credit for it. Anyway, Lin Zirou paid for the things, and the favor must be counted on Lin Zirou. When the things are finished in the future, they will also be given to Lin Zirou.
As a father, he naturally did his duty.
No matter how they behaved, Liu Jianfeng managed to get the gold foil invitation to advance to the next round, and today's mission was completed.
Liu Jianfeng suddenly became unmotivated, while his best friend Jingjing's husband was secretly sending messages, probably acting as a spy to report to Lin Zirou, while Old Man Lin was surrounded by people, hoping to hunt for treasures with him.
"Dr. Lin, your assistant is really good. He didn't spend a penny, but received friendship and gifts from two masters of wood carving. Tell us the truth, Dr. Lin, is this your craftsmanship?"
"
"Yes, yes, although this little assistant looks extraordinary, he has not yet reached the stage where he spends money like water and regards money as floating clouds. I am afraid that only Director Lin has such magnanimity."
Old Man Lin was beaming and couldn't suppress his pride. He was born as an ordinary worker, and he rose to great heights with his daughter. Although he often made jokes in the wealthy circles, not many people actually talked to him, and even fewer people valued him.
.
At this time, he actually became the center, and naturally he felt proud and raised his eyebrows. With his little knowledge of antiques, he began to give guidance.
After walking around for a long time and coming out of the exhibition, I found that many people were eliminated using this method. These eliminated people did not hesitate. It was only on the first day that I met the real experts, as well as the master-level existence in the industry. Others
The buyers all spend hundreds of thousands or millions, and even spend hundreds of thousands to buy an urn.
Compared with some people who come to join in the fun and pick up leaks, they must not be able to afford it tomorrow.
But this Yan Jingsheng is also a generous person. Even if he does not advance to the next round, he still has good food, drinks and hospitality. I heard that the chef of Feiyunju once worked in the Diaoyutai Hotel and did state banquets. All meals are included.
, it would be a worthwhile trip to open your eyes again.
People didn't notice that in fact, each of the staff at the scene had a small camera hidden in their name tags. Someone in the background could see everything here clearly. Ji Yuxuan was accompanying a middle-aged man and woman, squinting tightly.
She pursed her lips and her face was slightly red, but there was no room for her to speak.
The people around her were her right mother and stepfather Yan Jingsheng. They saw the whole story. They had the sharp eyes of experts and the music box was a lucky draw. Especially in the end, Liu Jianfeng chose a rotten wooden box and resold it regardless of millions of profits.
Various ways of giving favors and making friends with masters.
Yan Jingsheng smiled and nodded and said, "Mr. Kan is right. This young man's heart and magnanimity are indeed extraordinary, and his behavior is unrestrained and unrestrained."
Ji Yuxuan's heart was moved. She didn't expect her stepfather to say that. She thought that like her mother, he was determined to use her as a bargaining chip for marriage. Moreover, Liu Jianfeng's performance was beyond her expectations. He was originally a dead horse.
Horse doctor, I only know such a person, let’s give it a try.
