Treasure Hunt all over the World

The middle-aged man in his thirties walked up quickly and greeted Manager Liu and Mr. Liang with a smile, very respectful.

"Uncle Liu and Uncle Liang, both of you are here! I haven't seen you for a while, how is everything at home?"

Obviously, this middle-aged man knew both old men, otherwise he wouldn't have greeted them like this.

After greeting the two old men, this one also nodded at Ye Tian, ​​with a little curiosity in his eyes, not understanding his identity and why he was here.

Ye Tian nodded at the other party as a gesture of greeting, but he didn't speak. He just took a few more glances at the black lacquer and gold box in this man's hand.

The box is square, about 30 centimeters in length, width and height. It is close to a cube. It looks old, and there is a dazzling red light in Ye Tian's eyes. It has a history of more than 120 years.

What is contained in the box is temporarily unknown! Ye Tian did not choose perspective, the answer should be revealed soon, why rush it!

But one thing he can be sure of is that the box is not an antique, because there is no light shining through it!

"Everything is fine at home, thank you for your concern! Xiao Chen, why don't you come to our Rongbao Zhai today to hang out? Are you not busy with your company?"

Mr. Liang nodded and greeted the other party, and his performance was quite polite.

"Isn't it a new year? There's basically no business, so I just took a break early! I came to Rongbaozhai today to trouble you two, help me estimate the price of the items in this box!"

Xiao Chen explained a few words about the reason, then sat down on the sofa, and put the black lacquer and gold box in his hand on the coffee table.

Hearing these words, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang suddenly showed such expressions on their faces, and their eyes were a little helpless.

"Seeing you come in with a box in your arms, we knew that you were here to sell something or ask us to estimate the price. Sure enough, I guessed it right!

Open the box and let's open our eyes! Let's see what kind of treasure it is, and if I can give you an accurate valuation, it's hard to say now, you can only know after seeing the things.

Those antiques that Lao Chen has spent decades of time and energy collecting, will soon make you empty out, kid? What a pity! It's great to keep collecting, why sell them all? "

Manager Liu said with a wry smile, his face was full of regret, but also a little distressed.

The same is true for Mr. Liang, there is both regret and a bit of memory in his eyes.

have to! This is a prodigal son who sells his father's land! The Lao Chen mentioned by Manager Liu must be this old man, who is also an old friend of Manager Liu and Mr. Liang.

Moreover, this old Chen has probably passed away, so this one in front of him can be sold wantonly, without any scruples that this is a treasure that my father spent decades collecting.

In an instant, Ye Tian roughly understood the situation.

But this matter has nothing to do with him, so naturally he has no place to intervene, so he can only sit and watch.

Of course, if the object contained in the black lacquer and gold-painted box was good and moved his heart, he would not let go of such an opportunity!

When it's time to do it, do it! It doesn't matter who it belonged to before, as long as it belongs to my buddies in the future!

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liang, I also know that this is the behavior of a prodigal son. After all, it has been less than two years since the old man passed away, and the treasures he spent half his life and energy collecting are almost empty by me!

But I don't know what to do! Except for the old man, everyone in our family is a layman. They basically know nothing about antiques and artworks, and they are not interested in studying these treasures and learning related knowledge.

Instead of putting them on the shelf, it is better to sell them, transfer them to people who like them, let them get what they want, collect these antique works of art, and we get the corresponding money, which is the best of both worlds!

In the past two years, the business of my company has not been able to make ends meet, and I have owed a lot of debts outside. Isn't it old! The debtor came to the door again, so he had to sell things to pay off the debt, so he could have a clean year! "

Xiao Chen explained with a wry smile, his expression was rather awkward.

"That's right, in the eyes of laymen who don't like antique works of art, these treasures are indeed of little value, let alone care for and collect them carefully, and it seems better to resell them.

In the antique shop in the capital, your old man is a well-known figure, and his eyesight is undeniable. It is a pity that you juniors have not inherited anything. What a pity!

The same is true for you, a good civil servant, you have to run out and make a fuss, you are stupid now! Not to mention that the money is not earned, but these treasures are also taken in! I don't know what you think! "

"Since the situation is like this, it's useless to regret it! For the sake of my old man's friendship with you two, please help me estimate the price of this object!

With you two masters in charge, when I resell this item later, I will have a solid foundation in my heart, so as not to be scammed! As you two know, I'm a stickler when it comes to antiques! "

"It's okay to help you with your eyes, but have you found a good buyer? Now it's New Year's Eve, and everyone is setting up their tents to prepare for the New Year. There are not many people receiving the goods, and sending them to shoot is even more useless!

If the things are good in another day, our Rongbaozhai might be able to accept them, but you also know that we are open for business, and the purchase price will definitely not be very high.

You kid wants to raise money to pay off the debt again, the estimated amount is not small, and you are definitely not willing to sell it to us Rongbaozhai, so we can only help you with it and give a rough estimate, and we will not make a move! "

"Understood! If you two can help me and give you an approximate estimate, I will be grateful, boy. Just don't let me be tricked by others. I don't dare to ask for extravagance. I will find the buyer myself.

Just now a buddy called me to tell me that Liulichang East Street came to Liulichang East Street with a wave of golden sticks, brought his family and a few foreigners, and spoke fluent English, sweeping the goods!

According to my buddy, those people are probably from the United States, and they only buy things based on their likes, but they basically don’t bargain much for things they like, and the payment is very happy! There was a sensation on the East Street.

It was after receiving this news that I came to Liulichang with this object. First, I asked you two to help estimate the price, and then I went to find the stick from the United States to see if I could kill the stick.

If you can make a lot of money, that would be great! In addition to repaying debts, maybe you can have a fat year! Even if you can't kill the item, as long as you can sell it at the market price, that's fine.

Although I don't know much about antiques, I still have confidence in my old man's vision. This is definitely a rare treasure! It must be a hundred times better than the things in those Baozhai's hands! "

Xiao Chen spoke excitedly, eyes full of longing.

But he didn't notice the astonished expressions of Manager Liu and Mr. Liang when they heard these words, and the smiles that emerged from their eyes afterwards.

Ye Tian was the same, he smiled wryly and shook his head lightly, his face full of helplessness.

have to! Dude is being treated like a stick! All of them are holding back their swords and pointing at themselves to celebrate the New Year!

What do you say? When did my buddy become a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered? It is really a treatment that has never been seen before!

As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang immediately burst out laughing.

"Hahaha"

While laughing, the two old men looked at Ye Tian, ​​their eyes were full of jokes, you have a day too, kid!

Xiao Chen was a little confused, he didn't understand why the two old men were laughing, what's so funny about it? Isn't this kind of thing very common in the antique shop? Everyone loves a mallet!

Soon, the doubts in his mind were answered.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, my younger brother should be the stickman you mentioned from the United States, and it was me, my family, and two bodyguards who were shopping on Liulichang East Street.

Several of my family members are in the exhibition hall upstairs, admiring the calligraphy and painting works of art there, I was shopping downstairs, accidentally alarmed the two old men, and then ran into you again!

Since you are here for me, I can't disappoint you. I can take a look at the things you brought. If the things are good and really move my heart, then I don't mind being a stick! "

Ye Tian said with a light smile, he didn't mind the other party calling him a club at all.

Who is the mallet! Speak with eyesight, everything else is nonsense!

"Ah! It's you!"

Xiao Chen exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded.

His face changed in an instant, he was as red as a monkey's butt, he was extremely embarrassed, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in directly, it would be a shame!

"Hahaha"

The two old men burst out laughing, so happy that they couldn't sit still, stumbling around.

"That's right! It's me, I'm the American mallet!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

The laughter suddenly became louder, and Xiao Chen became even more embarrassed.

The eyes of everyone in the hall on the first floor of Rongbaozhai were attracted, and everyone looked this way.

After a while, before the laughter stopped, Xiao Chen reddened and began to apologize.

"I'm really sorry, little brother, I also heard it from someone else, I really didn't know it was you, please forgive me, I'm so sorry!"

"There's no need to apologize, Brother Chen, I'm fairly familiar with these things in the antique shop. Who wouldn't want to kill someone with a stick with a lot of money? It's perfectly normal!

Not only you, I guess many people in Liulichang East Street think so, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, buddy is more or less an insider in the antique industry, it's probably useless to kill him! "

Ye Tian said jokingly, his expression was very relaxed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Liu immediately said with a smile:

"Thinking of this kid as a mallet! How blind are those eyes? Just don't want them! In the entire Liulichang and the entire antique shop, there are not many people with sharper and more sophisticated eyesight than this kid.

Xiao Chen, even if your old man is alive, his eyesight can't keep up with this kid, so use him as a stick? Then just wait to be scammed, I'm sure, many people have already been scammed on the East Street! "

Hearing this, Xiao Chen exclaimed again.

"Ah! Co-author, you are a top expert in antique art appraisal!"
