Ouyang Ye walked into the living room holding a rectangular metal box, and said hurriedly, "This is an instrument specially used to detect antiques, Mr. Qi, put the guqin in it, be careful not to break it."
Qi Ze looked at the box carefully, and a curious light flashed in his eyes. After coming to the Black Eye Galaxy, he was most interested in these high-tech items. All the instruments in the apartment could not escape his poisoning, robot housekeepers, temperature control systems, automatic sweepers, automatic kitchen utensils, security systems... all It was dismantled by him many times, and after thorough research, it was put back as it was, so that Ouyang Ye still hadn't found out that the control of the house was already under his name.
"How does this machine work?" he asked as he played the piano.
As a scumbag, of course Ouyang Ye couldn't answer, so he hurried back to the room and pulled out an instruction manual. When Qi Ze finished reading the manual, the test was just over, and a lot of data appeared on the translucent box cover. After the data was scrolled, an appraisal certificate appeared with a few lines written on it - material: sycamore, zimu, white jade, Tortoiseshell, shell, silk; Year: 15,000 to 20,000 years ago; Place of Origin: Earth China; Category: Musical Instrument; Name: Guqin; Aura: SSS; Estimate: ? ?
Ouyang Ye's eyes were bigger than copper bells, and after reading it several times, he was sure that he didn't have hallucinations. He turned on the detector with shaking hands, put on gloves with shaking hands, picked up the body of the piano with shaking hands, put it down carefully, and said dryly, "Young Master Qi, you should take it yourself, I won't be able to pay it if you break it."
Qi Ze vaguely realized something, but didn't reveal anything on his face. He was about to move the piano, but was stopped by Ouyang Ye, "Hold on, put on gloves first. Be careful."
"It's very valuable?" Qi Ze took out a pair of celestial silk gloves from his Qiankun bag.
"The value is incalculable." Ouyang Ye swallowed and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Qi, where did you get this?"
"Family belongings." Qi Ze didn't plan to say more.
"Then your family must be super rich! Not to mention this piano, just dismantling these materials can sell for sky-high prices." Ouyang Ye's eyes lit up with excitement.
Qi Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded without modesty, "My family is indeed very rich." Taixuan Shen Zuo Zong has almost taken over 99% of the Lingwu business in Qianyuan Continent, although the force is not comparable to other sects, But financial resources can definitely rank among the top three. The sect was finally destroyed, which was one of the reasons.
His expression was slightly dazed for a moment, as if he saw the majestic sect standing on the top of Yanshan again, as if he saw the kind-hearted father smiling at him, and then the sword rain from the sky destroyed everything, leaving only a scarred stele.
There was a trace of blood and killing intent in his eyes, but he quickly subsided. Qi Ze pointed to a line of small characters on the appraisal certificate and asked, "Three question marks mean that the value is difficult to estimate, so what is the aura value?"
"Aura value is a kind of energy contained in antiques, just like the inner qi of our physical practitioners and the spiritual power of spiritual practitioners, it is a means of self-protection. The earth is no longer suitable for human habitation, and the environment is becoming more and more The worse it is, these antiques can be preserved intact, relying on these auras. The higher the aura value, the longer the lifespan of the antiques, especially for such antiques that can be used, there is no need to worry about reaching the SSS level. It will be broken if touched lightly. Of course, it is necessary to regularly bless the spiritual practitioners. The spiritual power of the spiritual practitioners can imprison the aura in the antiques to prolong their preservation period. If you can ask for the SSS level The blessing of the spiritual force may also enhance the aura value of antiques, and the price will increase year by year."
Ouyang Ye gently stroked the tortoiseshells and shells inlaid on the qin, and continued, "In recent years, the earth's crust has moved more and more frequently, and various geological disasters have destroyed most of the ancient human sites. Cultural relics like this, There probably won't be any more in the future. Shao Qi, I suggest you think carefully before deciding whether to sell it or not. What about your parents, can they agree?"
Qi Shao's student file records that he was an orphan and was able to enter the Neptune Military Academy with the help of a human rights organization. But Ouyang Ye didn't believe a word. If Qi Shao didn't have parents and a strong family, how could he have cultivated such a high-ranking extravagance
"They're all gone. I can make the decision myself. Sell it." Qi Ze's eyes darkened.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Ouyang Ye didn't dare to say more, and sent the hologram of Guqin to his uncle.
Yan Junyu has been sitting next to him and observing the boy. Every word and every expression of the other party was carefully considered by him, and then he was more sure of his previous guess. This child is indeed a relic of the Chinese family, and he really bears a bloody feud. When it comes to family and parents, his expression is so proud, and the guqin in front of him more truly shows his heritage.
"I see, you come from a manufacturing family, right?" he guessed, "Without systematic study and no unique secret skills, it is absolutely impossible to create an attribute item. And you can do it easily. , and the attitude is sloppy, as if this is just a game."
He paused for a moment and finally affirmed, "Your family is probably in the manufacturing industry like the Mu family in the empire, right? No wonder you carry so many bizarre things with you."
If this is the case, how huge is the wealth that the Qi family has amassed? The Mu family can rank second on the empire's wealth list with just one arsenal, so what about the Qi family? In this way, it is not difficult to guess the reason why Qi Ze lived on Neptune.
"Power and money always make people crazy." Thinking of his accidental death, Qi Ze sighed sincerely.
At the same time, Li Yu, who received the hologram, quickly made a video call, "Where did you get the guqin? Coincidentally, the head of the Meng family came to visit in person just now and asked me to help him find a guqin. It's an antique, so I'll sell it directly to him."
"Are you sure the Meng family can afford it?" Without waiting for Ouyang Ye to reply, Qi Ze's lazy voice passed first.
Knowing that there were outsiders next to him, Li Yu frowned and looked very unhappy. Ouyang Ye hurriedly pointed the camera at Qi Ze and explained, "Uncle, Qi Shao is the owner of this qin. You'd better take a look at the appraisal certificate before making a decision. I personally recommend that you hold an auction, not a private one. Sell underneath."
Li Yu was noncommittal, opened the appraisal certificate sent by his nephew and glanced at it, and then his expression slowly solidified. In the antique market, the price of antiquities from the earth is already high, and ancient wood, jade, shells, pure natural silk, etc., these items can be sold individually, and they can become the finale of an auction. Don't increase your Aura to SSS level.
Once this guqin comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation. Even the old nobles of the Imperial City will come here and flock to it. Where will they get a small Meng family? To say something unpleasant, even if all the liquidity of the Meng family is used, it may not be able to buy a single string of this piano.
Li Yu read the appraisal letter word by word, and said cautiously, "You wait, I'll come and see for myself. If I'm sure it's real, I'll send it to the Imperial Star for a joint auction, and a 5% commission will be charged after the transaction. Qi At least you should understand that this kind of national treasure level antique, my auction house can't eat it for the time being."
"Okay, as long as it can be sold." Qi Ze waved his hands lazily.
Seeing him so careless, Li Yu couldn't help thinking more deeply. After hanging up the phone, he sent a text message to his nephew, and warned him carefully that he must have a good relationship with Qi Shao. He originally thought that Shao Qi was a spy sent by some force, but looking at it now, this guess is absolutely wrong. Not to mention spies, even the forces hidden behind them may not be able to come up with such good things.
"What is the joint auction?" Without the stranger, Qi Ze's attitude became more lazy, and he opened his brain to play the game.
Ouyang Ye put on gloves and groped the guqin inch by inch, with a frenzied expression on his face. This is the only SSS-level antique that he has handled, and it may be the last one. How can you do it without touching enough
"The joint auction is initiated by the imperial auction house. The auctions that the small auction houses of each planet sign up for themselves, only antiques above Grade A can be selected. At that time, the rich and nobles of all black-eyed galaxies will gather in the imperial capital. Compete to bid," he replied absently.
"In other words, if I send it to the United Auction, can I make more money?" Qi Ze is very good at focusing on the key points.
"Absolutely!" Ouyang Ye suddenly found himself hugging a golden thigh. With this commission alone, my uncle's auction house will be able to complete a full year's turnover and open its doors in the Imperial Capital. If it develops smoothly, it is very likely that it will surpass Ouyang's family in the future.
Thinking of this, he resisted the temptation with excitement, "Young Master Qi, the auction will not be held until the end of October. If you are in a hurry to use the money, I can lend it to you first. Or if you have any extra gadgets you can give to my uncle , let his auction house sell it first, how about a turnaround?"
Now, Qi Ze can't even afford nutrient solution. He heard that he will only get the money in the second half of the year. His lazy attitude couldn't help but change. , asked, "How much will this sell for?"
Ouyang Ye hurriedly caught the jade pendant, put it into the detector carefully, stared at the three question marks at the end of the appraisal certificate for a moment, and stammered, "Qi, Master Qi, is this really a superfluous gadget for you? "
"Yeah, it's useless." A blank jade talisman that has not been carved into the defensive and attacking circles is just a blank jade talisman. If it is in Qianyuan Continent, no one will pick it up if it is thrown on the ground.
"But this jade pendant is 30,000 years old. The material is top-quality suet white jade, and the aura value is also a rare SS grade. Shao Qi, this is too expensive, and my uncle's auction house still can't eat it. Why don't I I'll pay you the advance payment first, and wait until I get the money from the auction house at the end of October, can you pay me back?" Ouyang Ye found a velvet box on his own initiative and put the jade pendant in it. It is always good to be able to do more business for my uncle. Maybe by the end of this year, Li's auction house will be able to upgrade.
"Okay." One is for sale, and two are for sale. There is no difference to Qi Ze. He glanced at Ouyang Ye with a half-smiling smile, and joked, "Your uncle didn't hurt you in vain."
"Young Master Qi, you will find out later that you didn't hurt me in vain." Ouyang Ye had a thick skin.
Qi Ze walked into the bedroom without saying a word, closed the door tightly, and shook off the goose bumps all over his body. In the living room, Young Master Ouyang rolled a few times on the sofa, then jumped up and punched the ceiling, howling silently.
Yan Junyu stood in the corridor, looked at the two children back and forth, and smiled amusingly.
