Zhao Qian is extremely busy raising money, and now the progress of the film has been greatly affected. If this continues, it will bring about a series of chain reactions.
To raise so much money in a short period of time, the only way is to take out a few things from the wall. But none of those collections were obtained through his hard work. It's easy to send them away, but it's difficult to bring them back. It wouldn't matter if I were in Daqi. Everything in the warehouse in the palace is not a treasure, but here it is very different from Daqi.
Zhao Qian opened the curtain and picked up a Duan Inkstone made by a famous artist. Both the carving and the quality were impeccable. In fact, no matter how expensive the inkstone itself is, it is not very valuable, but there is an engraving on the back by a famous calligrapher in history. Because this square inkstone was collected by him, the value has also increased.
Zhao Qian played with the inkstone for a while and finally put it down. Later, I took out a black jade bucket and played with it carefully.
He carefully selected five pieces from the collection of more than thirty pieces. No matter which piece it was, it was cutting his flesh.
After selecting the items, he packed each item carefully, then found Qiu Kai and told him: "Help me find a way to sell them."
Qiu Kai frowned and said, "Boss, you are cutting flesh, don't you feel bad for me?"
Zhao Qian said: "So what if I feel bad, I'm useless, I can't keep them. I need to cash them in as soon as possible."
Qiu Kai understood Zhao Qian's current situation, and he agreed: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Qiu Kai took away the batch of things, and Zhao Qian felt a little empty when he looked at the empty grid. But it was very different from Zhao Qian's expectation. Qiu Kai went there for a whole day and brought back a few things intact.
"Boss, I took these to the auction house. They all saw it and said that it is indeed a good thing, but if you want to participate in the auction, you need to queue up, and you have to wait until the middle of next month at the earliest."
"I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold in the middle of next month. Didn't you go to the pawn shop and ask?"
"I went, but the price at the pawn shop was too high. I only paid half a million for so many treasures."
"The average price is one hundred thousand..." Zhao Qian smiled bitterly and picked up the square inkstone and said, "This one is probably worth two to three hundred thousand. And this jade bucket, where can I find such fineness and quality now?"
Qiu Kai also said helplessly: "These are all things with a price but no market. Unless you can find a collector with the right eyes, its value can be reflected. The auction house has to talk about the handling fees, but the time limit is too long, otherwise You can really consider it.”
"Half a million..." Zhao Qian closed his eyes in confusion, and said to Qiu Kai, "Do you have the contact information of the pawn shop?"
"Well, they gave me a business card." Qiu Kai took out a business card, and sure enough, he took out a business card. Zhao Qian took it over, walked into the study, took the landline at home and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected, and Zhao Qian said into the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Fang? My surname is Zhao, and I am the collector who went to your store this afternoon to pick up five treasures and inquire about the price..."
Qiu Kai was waiting for Zhao Qian to come out in the living room outside. He rubbed his hands and carefully picked up and put down the treasures on the coffee table. Although he is not a cultural person and does not know how to collect, Zhao Qian treats them as treasures, but they must be priceless treasures, and he would definitely not be able to part with them.
After about half an hour, Zhao Qian came out. He told Qiu Kai: "I contacted their people and received these items for a total of 700,000 yuan. He said that he would also introduce me to a rich man. Collectors.”
"Boss, do you really want to sell it?"
"I'm desperate here. I can't sell them. Besides, if I enter a pawn shop, I will find a way to redeem them in the future."
Qiu Kai thought, I'm afraid it would be easy to send him away, but it would be difficult to invite him back.
Early the next morning, Qiu Kai took these to the pawn shop. The pawn shop finally accepted these treasures and temporarily collected another 700,000.
Zhao Qian knew that the collector liked to collect paintings and calligraphy, so he specially selected two treasures and made an appointment with the collector to meet at a certain teahouse. After two talks, he finally got rid of these two paintings. It sold for a total of 700,000 yuan.
At this rate, we are still far away from our goal, so Zhao Qian had to think of another way. Zhao Qian hardly started cooking these days when Li Wei was not at home, and he didn't even open the refrigerator.
He ran around for money and used various methods. In the end, he had to cash out two properties and sell a prosperous shop in a commercial center.
In addition to these, I also asked friends for help, and finally raised more than 20 million, but there was still a gap of more than 3 million from 30 million. Seeing that Zhao Qian had been working very hard to raise funds during this period, Zou Keyan finally spoke.
"I can make up for the remaining three million privately. The money issue has been solved for the time being. If something happens again, I won't help you."
Zhao Qian responded yes.
Because of this incident, he was in debt. In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Zhao Qian had to work harder. He originally planned not to accept any more scripts this year, but in order to make money, he accepted two more endorsements and another TV series at the end of the year.
With this arrangement, he won't be able to get any rest this year, and his schedule will have to be postponed until the middle of next year.
Zhao Qian wanted to return to the crew immediately, but Li Wei had not returned from his business trip. He promised Li Wei that he would wait for her to come back, so Zhao Qian had to postpone the date of returning to the crew by two days. He still contacted the director by phone and asked him to take charge of the crew and shoot other scenes first.
That night, Zhao Qian was rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home to find a very important document. He searched all over the study room but couldn't find it, and finally went through the drawers in the bedroom. But he found a list in the bottom box of the bedside table. He couldn't understand the various test data on the list at all, but the test results in the next column clearly stated "six weeks of early pregnancy". But it is obvious that Li Wei is there
But why early pregnancy? He couldn't understand it, but someone did. He immediately called Li Jianbo.
"Is it Weiwei?" Li Jianbo asked out of habit after answering the phone.
Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Qian's voice: "Second brother, it's me."
"Zhao Qian? Where are you going to Beijing?"
"Yes, I've been back for a few days."
"Since you're back, why didn't you tell us earlier so we could get together?"
"I'm in a hurry when I get back, and I have to leave soon. By the way, second brother, I found a test sheet, and I can't understand some of it. Can I ask you a question?"
"Who is sick?"
"Probably not sick..." Zhao Qian then read the data on the test sheet to Li Jianbo verbatim. Li Jianbo laughed out loud before hearing the results: "Weiwei, we have it, but the month is still relatively shallow." ,Congratulations."
"She really does?"
"The data is displayed like that, but why are you asking me, Weiwei didn't tell you?"
Zhao Qian was also puzzled. The inspection date shown above was last week, and he was at home at that time. Li Wei had time to tell him about it, but why did he hide it from him? Was it to give him a surprise
No, judging from Li Wei's recent reaction, Zhao Qian always felt that Li Wei probably didn't want this child.
