Chapter 053: Catching the Snake Out of the Hole
Mu Yang was stunned by Liu Chengdong's question. How could he know the origin and history of this jade? Can he say that he snatched it from the Japanese devils? Mu Yang changed his mind and said, "This jade was passed down by the elderly in his family. As for his history, I don't know."
"The old man at home has never talked to you?" Liu Chengdong asked.
Mu Yang spread his hands and said, "No, Brother Dong, let's talk to me."
"Then I can only analyze it roughly for you. This jade pendant is 10 cm long and a round jade pendant. Judging from the material, it should be Hetian seed material. Although it cannot reach the level of mutton fat jade, it is definitely a first-class white jade seed material. The shape is complicated and entangled patterns. This is a traditional auspicious pattern, but the clues can be seen from the carving work. This is a typical Yangpai carving work, which means that this white jade pendant is likely to be produced in Yangzhou, or carved by a jade carving master in Yangzhou."
"As for the age period, I can only roughly guess. It should be a work from the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China period. This is mainly analyzed and compared from the pattern carving. As for whether it was written by a certain master, it is hard to say now. After all, you can't give any information, and there is no clue on this jade pendant."
Speaking of this, Liu Chengdong looked at Mu Yang and said, "As for the price, the price of first-class white jade is about 12,000 per gram, and he now has a total of 108 grams. This piece of jade itself is delicate and transparent, shiny and moist. With the ancient and beautiful delicate carvings in Yangzhou, and the price of 40% is not a big problem."
"To be honest, people at that time really dared to cut the knife. Such large pieces of material carved with such complex hollow reliefs. This is a lot of material. Look at the jade ornaments nowadays, who dares to use such carving methods? At most, they can make a shallow carving on the surface of the jade, and some even play with the original stone directly. To put it bluntly, they are afraid of damaging the total weight." Liu Dongcheng said, shook his head here, as if he sighed that he had rarely used good materials in this era.
After hearing what Liu Dongcheng said, Mu Yang calculated it himself and could sell it at least 1.8 million. This was just one of the things he got from the Japanese, and it was a very inconspicuous one that could be sold for 1.8 million. Mu Yang was very happy.
"Brother Dong, if I want to take advantage of this thing, how do you think it is done?" Mu Yang asked.
"I really want to take action? Sometimes a good piece of jade is hard to come by, you have already thought about it." Liu Dongcheng advised.
"I won't play with this, I'd better sell it." Mu Yang said firmly.
"Oh," Liu Dongcheng sighed and said, "If I hadn't had so much cash, I would have thought about buying it myself."
"If you really want to sell it, you can sell it directly at an antique shop or at a trade fair organized by a collector. The safest thing is to auction it at an auction house, but you have to pay a part of the handling fee."
"You recommend it!"
"Look at it safely, go to the auction house. How to say, selling it directly to an antique shop will definitely be at a price that will be reduced. It will probably be the best for you to get 1.5 million. The trading of collectors will be good, but it requires a way, and you need to catch up with opportunities. You must be careful and not be fooled by old experts. Therefore, for outsiders like you, it is safest to throw it directly into the auction house, and the price is not low."
"That's right, let's leave it to the auction house if you listen to you. I'll find an auction house to sell it for me." Mu Yang said.
"Forget it, I'll contact you. Does Beijing Hanhai Auction House know? There is a top auction house in China. I have a friend there. I'll contact you. You can go there directly, so you can save you from bumping into those garbage auction houses and get cheated of the handling fee." Liu Dongcheng said.
"Then thank you Brother Dong." Mu Yang thanked him with a smile.
After contacting a supervisor from Hanhai, Mu Yang ran directly to Hanhai. After some procedures, Mu Yang handed over the jade pendant and took the certificate and left the auction house. There was a small auction in 5 days. Mu Yang's things could be auctioned. If Mu Yang was willing, he could come to watch the process on site.
I have already cultivated my energy and have prepared what I need to prepare. It is time to help Kejun sister complete the task.
Mu Yang changed into a suit, traveled directly to the time and space of the Republic of China, and appeared in the alley leading to the courtyard next to the Yanke Building.
After calming down his mind, Mu Yang opened the wooden door and walked into the courtyard.
Xia Kejun heard the movement at the door and walked out of the inner room.
"Brother Mu, I'm back so soon, have you gained anything?" Xia Kejun asked with concern.
Actually, Mu Yang really wanted to say, I have been away for several days because I have been away for so fast, but Mu Yang still said, "Some of my gains, I went to Yu Pinqing's house, recognized the door, and then made a plan."
"What plan? Brother Mu, what are you going to do?" Xia Kejun asked.
"Catch the snake out of the hole, okay, I won't tell you in detail. As long as I make sure Yu Pinqing is at home, I will come to the door to catch him and leave it to you for disposal. What do you think?" Mu Yang said confidently.
Xia Kejun said with concern: "There must be many bodyguards around him. Brother Mu must not be impulsive. If we don't have the chance, we will find a way. I don't want something to happen to you."
"Okay, I will be careful. I still have to wait for you to agree with you." Mu Yang teased Xia Kejun, the original intention was to relax the atmosphere. However, Xia Kejun's face suddenly turned red to his ears, and he turned his head and crawled into the house and stopped coming out.
Mu Yang scratched his head and said to himself: "Is the joke so big? Xia Kejun is not the modern girl. Is this kind of joke a little over?"
In the afternoon, Mu Yang went out to the garment shop on the street of Zhangjiakou and bought a thick cotton robe. After changing it, he stepped on a pair of cloth shoes and turned into an ordinary young man and started further investigation.
Without help, it is troublesome, and everything can only be done by yourself.
Muyang occupied a restaurant not far from Yu Pinqing's house, and ordered two dishes and a pot of wine. He slowly drank it, but his eyes were staring at the people entering and leaving Yu's house to see if Yu Pinqing was there.
It was almost time to light the lights that I found a black car parked at the door, and a woman wearing a big red cheongsam got out of the car. The woman did not stop and walked into Yuzhai in high heels.
Mu Yang felt that it seemed that there was nothing to gain today.
At this time, I heard the shop clerk beside him whispering: "Chairman Yu has brought Miss Lin Dai to the yard again, so I am not afraid that his more than a dozen concubines will be jealous."
The guy's voice was very small, and his eyes were still staring at the woman who got out of the car while talking. Mu Yang turned his eyes and said to the guy, "My man, if you are not busy, come and ask for something."
The guy hurried over and said, "What do you want to ask for?"
"I just heard you say that the woman who entered was Lin Dai?" Mu Yang asked in a low voice.
The guy's face changed, he looked around and found that no one was paying attention to it. He whispered: "Customer, I was just talking nonsense just now, so I dare not say it out."
