While talking, Bi Dapeng took out a red square box about ten centimeters in length, width and height.
Qi Si Hai curiously said, "I wanted to see it just now, but he said that if Boss Lai didn't come, he wouldn't take it out. Boss Lai, I really admire him. I really don't know what kind of treasure it is to make him care so much. "
Lai Wen touched his chin and smiled. The two of them said that just to make him feel that this thing was valuable.
Xu Yun was also curious and wanted to know what was inside the box.
Bi Dapeng slowly opened the red box, and the treasure inside finally stood out.
It was a jade figurine head, about eight or nine centimeters tall and four or five centimeters wide. The jade was green and white, and the head was complete. The two eyes were level, dignified and dignified. The head wore a hat, and the hair was tied up with a cloth. There was a small hole at the top of the hat for a hairpin to be inserted. The hair and eyebrows were carved out.
From the jade figurine head, Lai Wen could guess that this figurine was a dancing figurine wearing a square hat.
"Do you see it? The jade figurine wore a hat, and its facial features were regular. Its beard was sparse, and its nose was straight. Its mouth was slightly open, and its ears were big. The hair at the back of its head was carefully carved. There was a stubble at the bottom of its neck, and there was a hole for a hairpin to be inserted into. The whole body was polished and shiny!" Bi Dapeng boasted.
Qi Si Hai also cheered, "Aiya, this is amazing. This thing is a treasure."
"Yes, it is indeed a treasure." Lai Wen nodded.
"Boss Lai, can you estimate the value of this treasure?" Qi Si Hai smiled.
Lai Wen shook his head, "It's hard to say. If it's valuable, then it's very valuable. If it's … haha, I won't say the rest. This jade figurine head of the Han Dynasty should be unearthed from the Han Emperor's Wei tomb. It's one of the many jade carvings, right? "
Bi Dapeng gave a thumbs up, "Boss Lai has good taste."
"According to the Han Dynasty records, Emperor Xuan was fortunate to have a gathering of phoenixes, and obtained the jade treasure from Wanshou Palace." Lai Wen said, "The large number of jade carvings in the tomb shows that Emperor Xuan continued his father's hobby and followed the custom of burying a large number of jade carvings after death."
"Yes, that's true."
Only then did Lai Wen get to the point. "It's said that the rarer something is, the more valuable it is. Once there are too many things, the value will be greatly reduced."
Bi Dapeng was stunned. Qi Sihai was also stunned. It turned out that Lai Wen beat around the bush so many times just to suppress the price.
"Boss Lai, isn't this rare? This is Han jade." Qi Sihai said, "In my opinion, this is really a treasure."
"In my opinion, it is also a treasure, but it is not considered rare." Lai Wen said, "If I were to bid, it would not be higher than this."
With that, Lai Wen stretched out two fingers.
"Twenty million?" Bi Dapeng was stunned.
Lai Wen laughed heartily. "Boss Bi, you really know how to joke. Such a small jade figurine is worth 20 million? This antique business is too profitable. "
Bi Dapeng's face darkened.
Qi Si Hai probed, "Boss Lai doesn't mean it's two million, right?"
"That's right. Two million. " Lai Wen said, "Because its head is complete and smooth, that's why it's worth this price. If there were any bumps, then it wouldn't be easy to sell."
"Boss Lai, this is a bit of a joke. I want such a rare piece of Han jade figurine! You're giving this price? "Bi Dapeng was obviously not very happy.
Lai Wen waved his hand. "Boss Bi, don't say that. I can't afford this price. I just said that it can be sold at this price at most."
This time, Bi Dapeng's face became even more ugly.
"Boss Lai, if you're joking, then it's a bit too much." Qi Sihai laughed. "This is really not common."
Lai Wen was very calm. "If it's common, then it's worth at most two hundred thousand. It's because it's rare that I said it can be sold for two million. "
"Lai Wen, do you know how much I bought this thing for?" Bi Dapeng's face was a little embarrassed. "I spent nearly five million to buy it. You're telling me it's only worth two million?"
"That can't be helped." Lai Wen said, "I can't lie to you. If I lie to you, you can't sell it for that price. How do you want me to explain it to you?"
Bi Dapeng slapped the table angrily. "That damn woman in September! She's as cunning as her grandfather! "
"When doing business with the Zhong Family, you have to be 120 times more careful." Lai Wen said, "Brother, just admit defeat. I really can't help you sell this thing at the price of five million."
Bi Dapeng lost a few million this time. Of course, he was unwilling. "Boss Lai, we're old friends. You can help me."
"It's not that I don't want to help, but I can't." Lai Wen said, "If you really can't, you can find the Zhong Family to return it."
"They have already earned the fat meat in their mouth. Can they still spit it out?" Qi Sihai said, "Don't joke. This is impossible."
"You know it's impossible. Then why did you come to me?" Lai Wen said.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Bi Dapeng and Qi Sihai knew that they had lost, so they came to him to find a way. However, they didn't expect to lose so much. They were so shocked when they heard this today.
"Boss Lai, you can't just watch me lose a few million." Bi Dapeng was also distressed. "You are familiar with the Zhong Family. Can you help me say hello?"
Lai Wen shook his head helplessly. "This is really difficult."
"Okay, we will tell you the truth today." Qi Sihai said, "Today, I invited Boss Lai to appraise it to make sure that I was not fooled. Now that I'm sure, I hope Boss Lai can help."
"There are rules in this industry. There is no going back." Lai Wen said, "It's really not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't help."
"Boss Lai, if you don't help with such a small matter, the favor between us …" Bi Dapeng suddenly spoke.
Lai Wen was stunned and shook his head helplessly. "Old Bi, you really put me in a difficult position."
"I can't help it. Who asked you to be familiar with the Zhong Family?" Bi Dapeng said awkwardly, "I don't want to trouble you with this matter, but if I don't trouble you, I really can't find trouble with others."
Lai Wen smiled a few times. "Zhong Jiu Yue's item?"
"En." Bi Dapeng nodded.
"Boss Bi, it's not that I want to nag you, but you really have to be more careful in the future. Don't take it lightly just because the item is a beauty. You can't take it lightly in any situation. It's not the first time you've encountered such a situation. Why don't you learn from your mistakes?" Lai Wen was really helpless.
Bi Dapeng just kept nodding. "I know it's all my fault. Boss Lai, please help me. I feel wronged in my heart. "
"I don't dare to say this to you. I'll do my best." Lai Wen thought that he still owed Bi Dapeng a favor, so he had to agree to this matter. "You leave the item here first. I'll find a way to contact Zhong Jiu Yue and see if I can talk things out."
Bi Dapeng nodded vigorously. "En, en, en! I'll listen to Boss Lai! "
"Come, let's have a drink." Qi Sihai saw the situation and picked up the wine glass. "Boss Lai is really affectionate and righteous."
Xu Yun was listening and watching at the side. These people were really interesting. They were so rich, but they still cared about losing a few million?
People who played antiques were like this. They had to care. They didn't care if one lost a few million, but what about two, three, or ten?
When they lost a lot, they naturally cared, so they had to care about this kind of thing. He could extravagantly waste a few million, but he absolutely couldn't tolerate losing a few hundred thousand.
Even if it was normal in this circle, they still couldn't accept it.
