Chapter 4073 The arrogance of the old man(1/2)
Seeing the two cousins fighting, Yu Fei smiled with great satisfaction, because this was the effect Yu Fei wanted. Of course, he said those words not just for the two of them to listen.
The two men were fighting so fiercely that the workers working in the distance stopped what they were doing and looked over. However, seeing that Yu Fei was fine and did not start a fight, they didn't care because obviously Yu Fei also wanted to watch.
fight!
Xiao Bai just came back from wandering outside the gate. He saw someone fighting here, and Yu Fei was also nearby, so he rushed over.
However, seeing that Yu Fei was fine, Xiao Bai squatted between Yu Fei and the two men, loyally protecting his master with his own body. Once these two people had the intention of attacking Yu Fei, Xiao Bai would never be polite.
The two men fought for a while. They were ordinary people and did not dare to be cruel, so they did not cause any serious injuries. They only injured the other's face quite seriously, and both of them looked bruised and swollen.
Watching the two people fighting, Yu Fei made a guess, and Liu Chuangang was the only one who didn't come. But this guy is the one who holds the iron rice bowl. As long as he doesn't commit suicide and gets paid every month, he can live a full life without any problem, but he can't make a living.
A wealthy person cannot starve himself to death, so he has no urgent need to satisfy his own needs.
"Okay, you can all go away and don't bother me anymore, Xiaobai, see you off!"
Yu Fei saw that these two guys were almost fighting, and Yu Fei was tired of watching it. After all, in Yu Fei's opinion, fighting between ordinary people was really like noobs pecking each other. What he enjoyed was the fun of bastards fighting bastards.
As for their moves, I really have no idea.
Woof woof woof!
As soon as Yu Fei finished speaking, Xiao Bai suddenly made an attack stance and barked at the two of them.
Only then did the two men realize that a large, unleashed black dog had appeared, and they were startled and quickly let go.
Then they saw Little Bai walking toward them with a grin on his face. The two of them did not dare to hesitate. They turned around and ran to their own cars. They opened the door and got in. They quickly started the car and left.
The two of them came and left quickly. When they arrived, they looked like suits and leather shoes. When they left, their faces were covered with scars and their clothes were in tatters.
Yu Fei was very satisfied with this result. He felt that these annoying flies couldn't come around anymore!
Next, he could carry out his walking plan. Before Yu Fei could give orders to Xiao Bai, another car came through the gate.
Yu Fei frowned speechlessly, how come his cooperative has become a vegetable market, where anyone can come in and take a look?
It seems that it is imperative that I hire an eighty-year-old man to look after the door for me!
When I was wondering who it was, the car came in and stopped, the door opened, and an old man with gray hair got out. He looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, and his body was quite strong.
Yu Fei was speechless. Could it be that this person came to the door and recommended himself to show him the door?
"Excuse me, where is Mr. Liu Chuanwen?"
After the old man got out of the car, he stepped forward and asked Yu Fei.
"Did you ask him to apply for a job as a gatekeeper?"
Yu Fei asked rhetorically.
"Ah! No, I was entrusted by someone to help him identify treasures!"
After hearing Yu Fei's question, the old man's expression was indeed somewhat unhappy, and he hurriedly explained.
"Are you the person Bu Qiang asked for?"
Yu Fei understood immediately. It turned out that Bu Qiang found someone for you, but he never told himself that it was actually delivered to your door. The service was so good.
"Yes! I am the person Mr. Bu came for!"
The old man nodded.
"I am Liu Chuanwen!"
Yu Fei also admitted his identity.
"Mr. Liu, it turns out you are the one! You are so funny!"
When the old man heard that this was Liu Chuanwen in front of him, the displeasure on your face immediately disappeared, and he took the initiative to extend his hand to shake Yu Fei's hand. Yu Fei's disrespectful words just now immediately turned into humor in his opinion.
"Hahaha! Come in and sit down!"
Yu Fei couldn't take a walk anymore, so he took the old man into his office.
When Yu Fei brought someone in, Xiao Bai would obediently get out of the way, making the old man mistakenly think that this was a not vicious dog at all. He even stepped forward and touched Xiao Bai, who wagged his tail and accepted it happily.
Walking into Yu Fei's office, the old man was anxious to see what Yu Fei asked him to appraise. For the old man, doing this business was not only a job, but also a hobby. He also wanted to know the authenticity of the painting. If it was true,
Of course, you should also appreciate it.
Yu Fei took out the box from under the table. When he saw the golden nanmu box, the old man hurriedly went over to take a look.
"It's really made of golden nanmu, and it's still a few years old. This box alone is worth about 400,000 yuan. This is because the style of the box is too limited. If it is made square, it will be suitable for more situations.
To use it, the price can be as high as 600,000!"
The old man leaned on the box to study it and made an evaluation.
Then he carefully opened the box and took out the flower scroll inside.
Unfolding the flower scroll bit by bit, the old man had already taken out a magnifying glass from his pocket, and the painting was completely unfolded. The old man lay on it and studied it carefully. The order of the old man looking at the painting was different from that of ordinary people. He actually looked at the scroll first, and then looked at the pictures.
With the blank paper, I finally looked at the most essential part of the painting, the bamboo clump painted on it.
"The pen is sharp and penetrating, and the details are perfect. The paper conforms to the papermaking technology of that era. There are no problems with the marks hidden in the dark, and the texture on the seal is also correct."
The old man muttered while looking at it, and Yu Fei listened with an indifferent expression. He wanted to know whether this painting was real or not, and how much it was worth now!
The old man lay on it and watched for seven or eight minutes. Yu Fei almost fell asleep while waiting. He finally stood up straight and put away the magnifying glass.
"Oh! I didn't expect that I would be able to see the original painting in my lifetime. It's really not easy!"
The old man was still feeling emotional after reading it.
"How much is this painting worth?"
Yu Fei asked the question he was most concerned about. As for the artistic value, Yu Fei was really not interested.
"If it goes to auction, I guess it won't be a problem to get 30 million now. If you meet someone you really like, 35 million is possible, but according to the market price, you can sell it for 28 million!
"
The old man glanced at Yu Fei, with a bit of contempt in his eyes, because they, as a group, believe that this is a treasured art that has been passed down, but people like Yu Fei only talk about money, so they often look down on those who have money to collect in the future.
, those wealthy people who want to be arty.
"Then I understand. Here is another stone. See how much it is worth!"
Yu Fei took out another box.
When the old man saw this more ornate-looking box, he felt indifferent. The wood of this kind of box had little value, and the carving was mostly done by machine. It didn't have a sense of age, so they dismissed it.
Anyway, in the eyes of those people, no matter how good modern things are, they feel they are worthless. They just want to admire the things left by the ancients to make them appear to have more cultural connotation and depth.
Of course, Yu Fei didn't care. He respected pragmatism more, so he opened the box and took out the stones inside.
After taking a look, the old man asked Yu Fei to put it on the table. He took out his magnifying glass again and even a lamp that was as thick as a little finger but had a strong light.
"Get some water!"
The old man looked at it for a while and said to Yu Fei.
Yu Fei picked up his own cup of water and poured it over the stone.
The old man continued to lie on it and looked at it. After it was wetted, the stone looked even more translucent. After the light was shined from the other side, a circle of light could be clearly seen on this side. "This is a top-grade natural jade, because jade
The hardness is higher than that of ordinary stone, so after the stone skin on the surface is weathered, the jade inside is exposed!"
"Although it has not been polished and carved, you can see after lighting it that there are no cracks inside, the texture is uniform, the light transmittance is very good, it is very transparent and there are no cotton spots, etc."
"This piece of natural jade can probably produce several high-quality jewelry. Maybe the jade in the middle is of better quality and can produce top-quality jewelry."
"I don't have as thorough a study of jade as antique calligraphy and painting, but I can roughly estimate that it's worth at least one hundred, five hundred thousand!"
After reading it, the old man started to evaluate, and he estimated the price without even asking Yu Fei.
"Are you sure that the painting, the golden nanmu box, and the jade are all real?"
Yu Fei asked for the last time to confirm.
"Yes, this is absolutely certain. I started working in the industry with my master when I was five years old, and it has been more than seventy years now. This is absolutely unmistakable!"
The old man said very proudly that this was his job, and even the money he had earned from this craft over the years was so abundant that even three generations of people could not spend it all, so of course he had his own confidence and arrogance.
.
"That's good!"
Yu Fei nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, Yu Fei had been able to determine the authenticity of the jade before, but he was not sure about the quality and price. He really couldn't understand the painting and the golden nanmu box. With the old man's testimony, Yu Fei was completely relieved.
Now, I know that my brother really went out and earned 50 million in cash and other items. It’s true that stupid people are lucky!
The old man's value has been brought out, but the work is over.
When Yu Fei thought the old man would leave, he actually sat down.
"Will that painting be sold?"
After the old man sat down, he asked straightforwardly, without any mincing words. Perhaps in the old man's eyes, Yu Fei was just a rough man, so he had to be more straightforward when talking to Yu Fei.
"Not for sale!"
