"No, that person didn't give it to me." Xu Er said.
"You should get the fragments and find a place to do an appraisal," I said.
"Do an appraisal? Why do you need an appraisal... Oh! I see, you mean, that vase might be fake?" Xu Er suddenly realized.
"That's right!" I nodded.
"Is this impossible? He is a rich man, why would he put a fake vase at home?" Xu Er asked in confusion.
"Why did you put on a fake!" I shook my head and said, "It's not because of your sister!" No wonder, this kind of thing was not common in 1999, but in later generations even children know this trick.
"When you say it like this, it seems to be true! Now that I think about it, he knew that the vase would break, so how could he take a real vase! A fake one can also achieve the same purpose!" Xu Er nodded.
"That's it! So the fragments of the vase are the problem!" I said.
"Okay, I'll go get the fragments now!" Xu Er said.
"Let me go with you, you are still too simple, you don't know the sinister heart!" I said, "I'm afraid he will make things difficult for you!"
Du Xiaowei drove the three of us to the place Xu Er mentioned.
What Xu Er said is right, this man is really a rich man, and the community he lives in is a very high-end residential area, and all the houses in it are duplexes. And I already knew beforehand that the male owner of this house is called Lu Baoqiang.
The host, Lu Baoqiang, opened the door and looked at the three of us in surprise. He didn't expect Xu Er, a foreigner, to find two helpers, but he didn't take it seriously. He didn't believe that such a certainty could make any changes.
"Xu Er, are you giving me money, or are you going to agree to my terms? My patience is limited!" Lu Baoqiang said.
"Mr. Lu, we are here to discuss this matter with you!" I said first.
"Who are you? Is what you say useful?" Lu Baoqiang glanced at me and asked.
"I was hired by Xu Er to deal with this matter. What I say is what Xu Er said." I said.
"Really?" Lu Baoqiang looked at Xu Er.
Xu Er nodded.
Then Lu Baoqiang said to me a little unhappy: "Then let's study what to do!"
"Okay, you said that Xu Er's sister broke a vase, what about this vase?" I asked straight to the point.
"Vase? Why do you ask this!" Lu Baoqiang looked at me vigilantly and said.
"You said she broke a vase from the reign of Chongzhen. I haven't even seen the vase now. Why should I believe you?" I asked back.
"Okay! Then I'll show it to you!" Lu Baoqiang said, then turned around and came to the bookcase, took out a box from it, and handed it to me.
I opened it and saw that it was a fragment of a porcelain vase. In my previous life, because of work, I often accompanied clients to places like antique auction places. I also have a certain ability to appreciate antiques. Although I can’t say it is very professional, I am absolutely sure. , These fragments in front of me are not the so-called official kilns of the Chongzhen period at all. This kind of rough garbage is almost the same as the two yuan porcelain sold on the carpet!
"Hehe, this is a treasure!" Seeing that I was silent, Lu Baoqiang added fuel to the side and said: "At the beginning, I wanted to spend 500,000 yuan to take care of Xu Xueyun, but she didn't agree. It's fated!"
Xu Xueyun? Why is this name so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere. Only now did I know that Xu Er's younger sister was called Xu Xueyun. Before that, Xu Er kept saying that she was his older sister, and I didn't ask what his sister's name was.
Hearing Lu Baoqiang's words, I suddenly had an idea, hum, I was going to expose his plot and forget it, but this time I let you lose your wife and lose your army!
I pretended not to understand and said: "Oh, it seems to say Chongzhen or something on it, it really is an ancient thing!" Then I handed the box to Du Xiaowei.
As soon as Xu Er heard my words, his complexion immediately became much worse.
"Yeah, are you going to lose money or let Xu Xueyun be my mistress? Maybe I'll give her hundreds of thousands more when I'm happy!" Lu Baoqiang said without shame.
I smiled indifferently and said, "In this case, we definitely can't afford to lose money!"
Lu Baoqiang listened to my words, his face brightened and he said: "Then you agreed to my request?"
"Yes, but we can't be so vague! You say this vase is worth 500,000 yuan, but there is no evidence for it, and we don't really believe it!" I changed the topic and said.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Lu Baoqiang asked hastily now that his mind was full of Xu Xueyun's graceful figure.
"Well, let's take these fragments away and find an expert to make an appraisal. If it's really worth half a million yuan, then do as you said, but if it's not worth it, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?" I said.
"What kind of appraisal? Just ask around. The vases from the Chongzhen official kiln must be worth the price! Five hundred thousand is nothing to say, and the vases from the Qing Dynasty can be sold for hundreds of thousands!" Lu Baoqiang's expression turned pale. changed said.
"That's not okay, we don't understand, if you don't go for an appraisal, you won't feel at ease!" I said. Actually, of course I know what Lu Baoqiang said! If this is really a product of Chongzhen's official kiln, five hundred thousand is not to mention, but it is possible to fetch several million at an auction! It may even be hundreds of millions! But unfortunately this vase is fake.
"Uh..." Lu Baoqiang didn't expect me to make such a move! He was so happy that he got Xu Xueyun just now, but now it seems that things are not going well! It seems that this person is difficult to deal with! But he was not willing to let Xu Xueyun go like this. As soon as he thought of Xu Xueyun, Lu Baoqiang's sinful lower body began to move. He managed to calm down, turned his head and said, "It's like this. I have already agreed to sell this vase to a business partner. Yesterday, I and He said the vase was broken, but he didn’t believe it, thinking that I didn’t want to sell it to him as an excuse, and he wanted to come to me to see what happened tonight! How about this, you guys come back tomorrow to get the fragments for identification!”
Grandma, just waiting for you to say this! Hey, how can I disagree!
"Okay, let's come back tomorrow! In this case, let's take our leave first!" I looked at Du Xiaowei and said.
Du Xiaowei gave me a done look, and handed the fragments back to Lu Baoqiang.
