Chapter 26: Crazy Robbery
Uncle Two glanced at my old man and said, "Still know this? But this time you've gone astray, this side of antiques. Indeed there is a price of gold jade priceless, but this piece of jade, no matter from the color or carving are too bad, even worse is that it is only half of the pull, half of the things count what?"
"I just feel that he is a bit interesting." My old man said.
"Then three two will help your father to shoot it down, other things I dare not say, this price will not exceed three hundred thousand, and buy back is to burn the hands of the contraption. But your dad like to shoot down, antiques is to play, only look at the value that is the antique dealer, let's say just sold more than four million bottles, it is worth four million? In the eyes of the old farmer, it is a night pot." Second uncle said.
I also think that this jade pendant is not very valuable, but I definitely understand the reason why my old man wants to shoot this thing, in my grandfather's notes, in fact, I am most curious about the thing is these two jade pendants, which almost belongs to my family's secret.
That jade pendant was a gift from my second uncle's biological father, Li Guozhong. When my grandfather wrote that note, he said several times that Li Guozhong had instructed that this jade pendant should not be told to Mr. He, and that it was impossible to write the note to himself. I have always had the feeling that in my grandfather's note, although my grandfather only knew how to write through literacy later in his life, he expressed a lot of the words he wanted to say through a different kind of technique.
To take the simplest example, in my grandfather's notes, Mr. He had twice instructed my grandfather not to have too much dealings with Mr. Huang.
But Grandpa did not say anything wrong about Huang Lao in the course of events, and even wrote Huang Lao as a worldly figure. -He doesn't judge a person's goodness or badness, he just subtly reminds us who read the notes to be careful and watch out for Huang Lao.
And grandpa's notes said many times this jade pendant, to hide the jade pendant from the real He this must be very important, some words he borrowed from Li Guozhong's mouth, I was very excited when I first knew my family had this jade pendant, not because of anything else, but just a feeling that the jade pendant, or Li Guozhong's gift, it must be very valuable is not it? My family was an ordinary countryside, I also thought to ask my grandmother this jade pendant is still not in, in the case of Hua Yu Zhimen to go to the treasure, in case the sale of a few million, buddy is not instantly among the rich and handsome?
So my father said to shoot this jade pendant, I know why, although I have not seen the family jade pendant itself, but just look at the description of grandpa's notes, and this jade pendant is very similar. My dad wouldn't want something for no reason, other than that I can't think of a reason.
Now, the next thing is to give my old man a private gift, but the use of Zhao Bajie's money, which makes me feel very embarrassed, but after listening to Zhao Bajie said that this thing at most but 200,000, I also let go, buddy now there is still a million, the big deal is to give my second uncle, this is as I do this son of the old man's gift to have to do.
Second uncle is a veteran, which makes me doubt that he disappeared so many years is not also to do the line of work, he guessed really good, this jade pendant on the few people bidding, and finally I shot to 150,000 on almost took, but at this time, suddenly someone hung up five hundred thousand.
I looked at the second uncle, this is a naked face, his face is a little hung up, said: "This little face hit, touch the old white neck?"
"Or forget it." My old man said, he said this sentence is also let me can not help but want to laugh, forget it, what is called to not count? This is not obvious or want it? My second uncle heard this originally thought of counting can not be counted is not, he smiled at me and said: "Six hundred thousand."
I looked at him, did not say anything, six hundred thousand is also within my tolerance, as long as not more than one million on the line! Then a million I can not with pick up the same?
I ruthless point a sixty, we this room according to my second uncle's statement itself is a A room like the village, you can overlook the whole situation, I'm out of six hundred thousand I have seen some people pointing at us here, presumably in the scolding of this person stupid, right?
But next, that side instantly put the price to two million, this instantly killed me, I almost trembling to the second uncle, "Forget it, do not want."
— originally this thing no one asked for, by the two of us especially that calf crazy bidding, the following people are stirred up, to we will also think so, is not just such a jade pendant? So small a thing, or half pull, so valuable? Could it be that I was wrong? Next on the lively, come here itself is not lack of rich people, immediately someone to raise the price, two million one hundred thousand.
I am not bad money, but I just want to see, how this thing is worth so much money?
"Hey! Did I look away too?" Second Uncle was also a bit curious.
–Next, this a small jade pendant, or half pull, even set off the climax of the whole auction, but I see this climax today is completely rich people's game, now those who shoot very fierce people, I estimate that nine out of ten do not know what this jade pendant, just others shoot fierce their own with the typical Chinese follow the wind! The mindset of the typical Chinese follower, anyway, not bad money, in case it is a treasure?
But rich people are not fools, we at five million when we closed, and finally they put this originally almost no one asked for the jade pendant speculation to seven million, the person who shot this jade pendant, or the first time with our bidding people, is that one time to lift to five million of the one.
"It's still interesting." Second uncle said, said when he also glanced at my old man, now the fact is very obvious, if this jade pendant did not have that person come to add a foot across the board, one hundred and fifty thousand I got, according to the later can be sold for seven million, we should be able to pick up the leakage to pick up a treasure.
"Dad, you saw that this jade pendant is valuable? Or is it?" I asked.
"Yes, brother, to be honest I haven't admired anyone, but you have this vision, it's absolute, come tell me, how did you see that this thing is worth money? But I still say that, this jade, no matter the color or what, is very average, but antique this thing, can't look at the color, don't you know anything? For example, this jade has a map on it or something?" Uncle Two asked.
"I just feel fun, I really didn't think that much, who knows it's worth so much." My old man said with a bitter smile. -He can't fool anyone with this statement, it's okay for me to say this, it's him, no, he won't open his mouth with my second uncle just for fun.
"No, go on, check the bottom of that fool, I really don't believe it, where the hell is that thing worth anything!" Second uncle obviously also do not believe, but in front of my old man's face do not know how to say.
After the climax there is a trough, not that this jade pendant is the highest auction price today, mainly a thing that we all generally do not look favorably on the last auction this price, everyone's mindset is the same, all want to know what this is in the end what is a jade.
The next few things, we are not in the mood to intervene, after this auction is over, we left the plant back to Luoyang to find a place to eat a snack, eat halfway through my second uncle took a phone call, after the end of his chopsticks slammed on the table, cursing: "Damn! That thing is definitely a treasure, you know what, that calf shoots such a thing in one night, obviously is rushing to this thing!"
After saying that he still looked at my old man with the rest of his eyes, obviously he still wanted to get something from my old man's side.
"That person is also really, want this thing, as to auction so hard? With that kind of increase in price, it would be strange if others don't grab it." I hurriedly rounded up the situation.
At this time, my old man put down his chopsticks and said, "Who owns this auction house?"
"Elder Huang's." I said. I looked at my old dad, not knowing why he suddenly asked this.
"Can't be counted as Huang Lao's, the counterparts of the inverted bucket are also connected, I heard that Huang Lao just has dry shares, what's wrong?" My second uncle also said.
"That thing, I want to take a look at it, take a look at it and I'll understand if it's the one from back in the day, Erdan, if that one is really the one from back in the day, I hope you're prepared, Auntie Xiu'e could be in the hands of Huang Lao." My old man looked at my second uncle and said.
I looked at my second uncle's face, which turned pale in an instant.
