When Wang Yan heard Zhu Tai's compliment, she smiled politely at him, then went out and closed the door. "Haha, Boss Zhu, aren't you just here to praise my secretary this time?" When Zhu Tai came over, of course there was news about the jade pendant, and he said, "Fortunately, you are not disgraceful. It's also Mr. Xiaolin who is very lucky. I I asked a few friends in the industry to help me inquire, and there happened to be a private seller who was willing to take action. " "Private seller?" Lin An couldn't help but frown. Generally speaking, those who can afford the imperial jade are not short of money. The owner, they bought it back as a family heirloom, and would only exchange it for money when absolutely necessary. But if you think you can get a bargain, you are wrong. Lin An asked tentatively: "The price won't be very high, right?" Zhu Tai was taking a sip of water from his teacup and waved his hand when he heard what Lin An said, " On the contrary, the price is neither high nor low. It is the going price last year, 12.8 million. If I have received a lot of goods recently and my cash is tight, I will bite the bullet and buy it as a family heirloom. " Zhu Tai Knowing that Lin An didn't understand the secrets of jade, he briefly talked about the fact that Myanmar had been experiencing unrest in recent years, and the time-honored mines had begun to dry up. The price of jadeite in China is rising. This year, the market price of jadeite is 30% higher than last year. This is still an ordinary jadeite. For example, the current imperial green has increased by half, and it is still priceless. Lin An nodded. Whether what Zhu Tai said was credible or not, he just needed to find someone to inquire afterward. "Are there no additional conditions?" "No, but she must ask for cash, or bank transfer is also acceptable, handing over the money and delivering the goods." The specific transaction process is handled by Zhu Tai, an old expert, and everything is a legal process. , as long as Lin An remits money to the designated bank account, the jade pendant will belong to Lin An. After sending Zhu Tai away, Lin An called Zhao Yu. He didn¡¯t know any experts in jade. What's more, this jade was given to Zhao Le, so Zhao Yu had to send experts over due to circumstances and reasons. Zhao Yu, who was bored in Zhonghai, was very happy when he received a call from Lin An, "Found it? So quickly? The experts are fine, I'll ask them to come find you." After solving the matter of the experts, the rest is for Lin An to figure out The money is gone, the trading time is set for tomorrow morning, and the trading place is in Zhu Tai's Tianbao Building. night. It was said to be a celebration for Sun Yaozhi, but in fact it was just Lin An and her, so there was no need to mention the beauty in the evening. The next day Lin An and his people arrived as scheduled, and the two experts sent by Zhao Yu were already waiting at Tianbao Tower. Lin An asked Zhu Tai: "Is the seller coming?" "He is, he's upstairs." Lin An first said hello to two experts who were about fifty or sixty years old, and Zhu Tai also went over to talk to them. Two sentences. It seems like they should know each other. After all, Zhu Tai is considered a celebrity in the capital's antique circle. Jadeite is a very popular item in antiques. It is very normal to meet two experts introduced by Zhao Yu. Arriving at a specially opened private room on the third floor of Tianbao Building, Lin An finally met the seller this time, a man and a woman. Judging from the looks of it, they should be siblings. They are around 18 to 20 years old. Their dress and temperament do not look like ordinary people. However, the pretty sister had an indelible sadness on her eyebrows. After seeing Lin An and others coming up, she immediately changed her expression and hid the expression on her face very well, with a faint smile on her lips. smile. "This is Miss Wu Qinglan Wu, the seller this time. Next to her is her brother Wu Jun. This is Lin An, the chairman of Scavenger Company. Mr. Lin is the buyer this time." Under Zhu Tai's introduction , Lin An shook hands with Wu Qinglan, "Hello." "Hello." After feeling the slightly cold hand in his hand, Lin An looked at Wu Qinglan in surprise, but did not show it. After a brief introduction, Wu Qinglan took an ordinary plastic bag from her brother and took out a palm-sized silk brocade box. Open the box forcefully. Looking at the touch of green inside, Wu Qinglan glanced at it with nostalgia, and then pushed it in front of Lin An. This is the best piece of jade, a jade pendant known as the emperor. The rich green color seems like thousands of years of ice that cannot be melted. This jade pendant is carved with a Maitreya Buddha. "The so-called man wearing Guanyin and the woman wearing Buddha can just be given to the little girl Zhao Le. After seeing this jade pendant in excellent condition, the two experts¡¯ eyes lit up. Then they took out the professional industrial equipment from the small box they carried with them, put on latex gloves, and carefully placed the jade pendant towards the testing tool. one itemThe test was being carried out in an orderly manner. According to Zhu Tai, the test process took thirty minutes. Lin Anbian, Wu Qinglan and others sat on chairs not far away and waited. As a buyer, Lin An was not too impatient and sat there leisurely drinking tea, while Wu Qinglan stared closely at the jade pendant on the testing instrument, for fear that there would be something wrong with the jade pendant. "Well, I have a question. It's just out of curiosity. Miss Wu doesn't have to answer it." Wu Qinglan turned her head, as if she guessed what Lin An would ask, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Lin, please." "I just saw the jade pendant. It has holes on it and should be worn by people. I don¡¯t know why Miss Wu would sell this jade pendant.¡± Before Wu Qinglan could answer, her younger brother Wu Jun, who was sitting next to her, said, ¡°Of course I am short of money. Who would sell it if there is no shortage of money.¡± This. "Well, everyone can think of this answer. In fact, this is not what Lin An asked. In the end, he could only touch his nose in embarrassment. Wu Qinglan smiled apologetically at Lin An: "Sorry, my brother is outspoken. Mr. Lin does not need to take his words to heart. The main reason is that my father's company is short of funds, so he sells jade pendants to raise money to tide over the difficulties." Wu Jun, Wu Qinglan clearly knew Shu Dali. When talking about this Wu Qinglan, if you look closely, she has a gentle temperament. Even if she encounters difficulties, she does not panic at all when she speaks. She is polite and polite. She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. woman. To be honest, if Lin An didn't already have Pan Xi, he would really want to take her back to be his wife. Lin An nodded: "I took the liberty." "It doesn't matter, where is Mr. Lin? People of Mr. Lin's age rarely buy such precious jade. Should you bring it yourself or give it to others?" When talking about bringing it yourself , Wu Qinglan's face turned a little bright red involuntarily. "It's a gift. It's a little girl's birthday. Her aunt asked me to find an imperial jade pendant as a birthday gift." Wu Qinglan was relieved to hear that the person wearing it was a little girl. She had heard about Lin An before, and based on his His status allows him to pay for such an expensive gift, which shows that he is not an ordinary person. "Should I ask him for help?" Wu Qinglan then denied the idea. She was now in a critical condition and sought medical treatment, and she would actually think of asking a stranger for help. Her family knew about her family affairs, and it was really hard to get anyone to plead for the things her father had done. The uncles and uncles she usually interacted with at home suddenly changed their faces after hearing the news and added insult to injury. What's more, they not only wanted to plot the family's industry, but even her Don't let it go. What happened in just a few days, especially the behavior of those relatives and friends, made her life feel like years. This was true even for relatives and friends, let alone a stranger.
