Zhou Hao was at a stall on the other side, looking at a jade pendant on the stall.
There were two dragons carved on the jade pendant, and the surroundings were carved using carving techniques, making the surroundings appear hollow.
Zigang Jade Plate
Producer: Lu Zigang
Year: Jiajing 42
[Value: 6.4 million]
Zhou Hao knew Lu Zigang. He was a master sculptor during the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty. The Zigang jade plate was named after him.
6.4 million! It was actually so valuable?
Zhou Hao was stunned.
With this amount of money, he could complete the mission. Although it was only the first phase of the mission and there were more to come, the reward for this mission was a lucky draw. Although he did not know what he would get, Zhou Hao was still looking forward to it. He might even get a grandmaster-level skill!
He looked at the stall owner in front of him. He was in his twenties and wore a pair of glasses. He looked not much older than Zhou Hao and was holding a book in his hand. He had the aura of a scholar.
"Big brother, how much is this jade pendant?”Zhou Hao asked the young man.
"What's wrong? "You've taken a fancy to this. If you want it…" The stall owner thought for a moment before taking out a piece of paper from his pocket. After looking at it, he said,"500."
Zhou Hao was stunned. What was this? Don't you know the price of your own things?
The stall owner saw Zhou Hao's strange gaze and said uneasily," This is my sister's stall. I'm just helping her look after it for a while. She has something to do."”
"Oh!" Zhou Hao nodded, indicating that he understood." Alright! We'll go according to your price."
Zhou Hao took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner took the money and handed the Zi Gang jade token to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao didn't take it but said to the stall owner," You don't know? In the antique industry, items had to be placed on the ground for another person to pick them up. This was to prevent the person responsible for the damage from being found! This is the rule."
Stunned, the stall owner quickly put Zi Gang's jade card on the ground and said," I'm sorry! This is my first day at the stall. I didn't know there was such a rule.”
Zhou Hao didn't know about this rule in the past. Cao Yong had told him about it when he rented the outbuilding one day!
Zhou Hao took Zi Gang's jade card and said to the stall owner,"You'd better ask your sister about the rules in this industry!"”
After saying that, Zhou Hao walked away quickly.
Zhou Hao still wanted to sell Zi Gang's jade plate as soon as possible, so he didn't have time to chat with him.
He quickly arrived at the Treasure House. This was the shop where Zhou Hao sold the Ten Thousand Horses Galloping Wood Carving. Zhou Hao felt that this shop was very fair, except for the boss Xiong Mao and Elder Liu.
When they arrived at the shop, Zhou Hao immediately called the waiter." Go and get Elder Liu here. Tell him that Zhou Hao has brought something good?”
The waiter was still Little Wang, who had received Zhou Hao and the others last time. Hearing Zhou Hao's words, he quickly brought Zhou Hao to the living room and made some tea before going to invite Elder Liu.
After a while, Old Liu walked over quickly and said," Little brother, where is it?”
Xiong Mao was following behind him. As he walked, his body trembled. He ran like a big black bear.
"Over here, Elder Liu!" Zhou Hao saw that Elder Liu had arrived. He took out the things and placed them on the table, indicating for Elder Liu to do it. He didn't want Elder Liu to speak. If this person spoke, it would be endless.
However, when Zhou Haoguang thought of Elder Liu, he forgot that there was Xiong Mao who was not inferior to Elder Liu.
Xiong Mao walked up to Zhou Hao and sat down on the sofa. He opened his mouth and started talking.
"Brother! How long has it been since you came to see me? Are you looking down on me? Let me tell you, I…"
Boo boo boo, boo.
Before Zhou Hao could open his mouth, Xiong Mao had already started talking. Zhou Hao couldn't even get a word in. He opened his mouth a few times to say something, but Xiong Mao stopped him.
After a few times, Zhou Hao stopped talking. He sat there and let Xiong Mao talk. He watched Elder Liu appraise Zi Gang's jade plate while he sat on the sofa and drank tea.
About ten minutes later, Xiong Mao stopped talking. Elder Liu had also finished appraising it.
"How is it? Elder Liu." Seeing Elder Liu put down Zi Gang's jade token, Zhou Hao hurriedly asked.
"Zigang jade plate, the style of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It should have been carved by Lu Zigang himself.”Old Liu thought for a moment and said.
"How much is that worth?" Zhou Hao continued to ask.
"Yeah, about seven million! If he met someone he liked, it would cost more than eight million yuan.”Old Liu thought for a moment and said.
" More than seven million... more than eight hundred..." Zhou Hao pondered for a while and said," Do you accept it? I'll sell it to you."
"It hurts so much! Didn't you bring it for us to appraise?”Xiong Mao was stunned and quickly said," We'll accept it!”
"Eight million! Plus this!" Zhou Hao took out Yuan Mei's manuscript and placed it on the table.
" This is..." Old Liu picked up the manuscript and looked at it for a while." Yuan Mei's manuscript from the Qing Dynasty?”
" Yes, that's it." Zhou Hao nodded.
"Are you sure you want to sell these two for eight million?”Elder Liu looked at Zhou Hao and asked uncertainly.
"Is that okay?" Zhou Hao nodded again and said,"If it's appropriate, transfer the money now."”
"Alright, Kitten, go transfer the money!" Elder Liu instructed Xiong Mao.
After Xiong Mao went out to transfer the money, Elder Liu turned to look at Zhou Hao.
"Are you short of money recently? Otherwise, with your ability, you wouldn't have bought Zi Gang's jade card!”
Zhou Hao looked at Elder Liu in shock. It was said that old people were shrewd. He had not said anything, but he had already figured out the matter, even though he was not short of money.
"Um, Elder Liu, I've recently rented the Outer Building. I plan to customize all kinds of carvings in the future.”Zhou Hao thought for a moment and said.
"Are you the new boss of Louwailou?”Elder Liu said in surprise.
"Hehe! The two million yuan he got from this place was all spent on it. Elder Liu, please take care of me in the future." Zhou Hao cupped his hands.
"Alright! I have something I want you to carve.”Elder Liu laughed happily.
"Really?" Zhou Hao asked in surprise. They hadn't even started the promotion yet, and there was already business coming to their door.
"It's like this. I have an old friend who has been friends for 50 to 60 years. He's 80 years old this year. His family wants to celebrate his birthday and invited me.”Elder Liu explained the situation to Zhou Hao.
"Alright, that's easy!" Zhou Hao nodded." When is the birthday party?"”
"There's still a week left. I wonder if there's enough time?”Elder Liu asked Zhou Hao.
"If there's enough time, I'll carve it for you in a few days! Let me show you! If it doesn't work, why don't we change it again!" Zhou Hao thought about what he would do in the next few days and then said.
"As for the carving fee, we'll talk about it after I finish carving.”
"Good! Then it's settled!" Elder Liu decided.
