Yan Jiefang chased out and sent the person away.

Li Jiandong put away the jade ring and prepared to leave.

Boss Xu saw this and said to Li Jiandong, "Mr. Li, are you willing to give up this jade ring?"

Li Jiandong said: "Boss Xu, you are also an expert."

"You know the value of this jade ring, but Boss Liu may not know its value."

"But you know the value of this thing. I received it with great difficulty."

"It's definitely impossible to do it."

Li Jiandong is not short of money, he collects purely for interest.

Besides, even if I want to take action, I can't do it now.

How much would it cost if I sold it now?

Wait a minute, these little things in my collection can buy at least tens of billions.

Wouldn't that be...

Li Jiandong had no intention of transferring the business, so Boss Xu said, "Mr. Li."

"To be honest, this jade ring is indeed a good thing, but I have something even better."

"If Mr. Li is willing to give it up, we can exchange it,"

"In terms of value, it will definitely not be less valuable than this jade ring."

After hearing this, Li Jiandong said happily: "Boss Xu, let me tell you this."

"I won't sell this jade ring. I have plenty of money."

"But if you have anything good, please show it to me."

"No, I'll take it too."

Li Jiandong was not short of money, so naturally he did not need to resell his jade ring to pay off his debts.

Boss Xu saw this and said, "It's quite interesting. I wonder if Mr. Li has ever heard of Taotie?"

"Taotie?" Li Jiandong was a little surprised.

Mr. Xu then happily invited Li Jiandong to sit down, and asked the waiter to make tea.

He turned around and walked into the back hall.

Not long after, Boss Xu also walked out slowly carrying a box.

I saw that he was holding a plate in his hand, and on the plate was a square box.

The box looks very gorgeous.

It seems that the things inside are very valuable.

Li Jiandong only took a casual look and found that the light emitted by this box was very unusual.

When Li Jiandong saw this, he knew there were good things in there, but he didn't expect what kind of good things there were.

At this time, Boss Xu also put the box on the table.
After sitting down, Boss Xu held out his hand: "Mr. Li, please have a look."

Li Jiandong then carefully opened the box.

A golden light shot out, and a seal carved into the shape of a Taotie appeared before his eyes.

"This is..." Li Jiandong was very surprised.

Although Li Jiandong didn't know where this thing came from, he definitely knew it.

This thing is worth a lot of money.

Boss Xu then said: "This Taotie is from the Yuan Dynasty."

"It was built by a famous person after Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, came to rule the Central Plains."

"There are eight seals in total, and this is one of them."

"Later, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, ordered Xu Da and Lan Yu to pursue the Northern Yuan Dynasty many times."

"Finally, they defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty and brought the seal back to Zhu Yuanzhang."

"It is said that the other seven seals were burned, and this one is the only one left."

"Then this thing is priceless." Li Jiandong looked at him in disbelief.

Boss Xu smiled and waved his hand: "This seal is indeed a cultural relic."

"But because he was from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he really couldn't command a good price in the collecting world."

"You also know that in the collecting community of our great country, many people do not recognize these barbarians."

Hearing this, Li Jiandong suddenly realized: "No wonder Boss Xu is willing to exchange this seal for the jade ring in my hand?"

Boss Xu said: "Mr. Li, you are a connoisseur of goods."

"To be honest, this seal is definitely much better than the jade ring used by Empress Dowager Cixi."

"Good things like this are hard to come by, so, Mr. Li, if you are willing."

“We can actually change it.”

This thing is definitely not fake, Li Jiandong has no doubt about that.

The god-level identification skills also helped me to screen.

There is no big problem, it's just this one issue right now.

Since this thing is real, its value must be very high.

Li Jiandong absolutely didn't believe that this thing could be equal to the jade ring in his hand.

But Li Jiandong didn't want to change it, after all, he had the money to afford it.

There's no need to do all this nonsense.

Thinking of this, Li Jiandong waved his hand: "Boss Xu, I told you, my jade ring cannot be used."

"But I really like this seal. Please name a price."

Hearing this, Boss Xu also smiled bitterly: "It seems that Mr. Li really likes this jade ring."

"Well, in that case, I will give Mr. Li a real price for the seal."

"Three hundred thousand, how about that?"

"Three hundred thousand?" Li Jiandong frowned.

It’s totally worth it, but what does three hundred thousand mean these days?

It’s really hard to say, this is the current situation.

If Li Jiandong took out 300,000 to buy this seal, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

After all, if you think about it, you will know if you really spend 300,000 to buy this thing.

So how do others see you?

But the seal is indeed a good thing if I really take it back.

That's definitely a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Li Jiandong nodded: "Three hundred thousand is fine, but I can only bring the money tomorrow."

"Okay, then Mr. Li, it's settled. I'll keep it for you. Three hundred thousand."

It was just three hundred thousand, Li Jiandong didn't take it seriously at all.

The main problem is that he really wants to get this thing.

Back at the courtyard, Li Jiandong prepared the money
The next day, he went to buy the seal.

After making sure there was no problem, Li Jiandong put the seal away.

After paying for the items, Li Jiandong said to Boss Xu: "Boss Xu, we are happy to cooperate with you."

"Let me put it this way. I really enjoy collecting these things, if you like."

"Then I hope to get more good things from you."

"Let's not waste our time. If you want, just remember to save any good stuff for me in the future."

"When the time comes, you can also ask Yan Jiefang to come find me."

Boss Xu nodded: "Okay, if that's the case, then let's do as Mr. Li says."

After obtaining this Taotie seal from the Yuan Dynasty, Li Jiandong wanted to collect more good things more and more.

I had been planning to go to the ghost market before, and now is a good time to go again.

The last time he went there, he just took a casual look and didn't see anything.

By the way, if I go to the ghost market this time, I can collect them well.

Just when Li Jiandong was still at home preparing to go to the ghost market in the evening.

Fang Ru came to the door.

Seeing that it was Fang Ru, Li Jiandong was a little confused: "Miss Fang, why are you here?"

"I asked Yan Jiefang, he knows you live here." Fang Ru stood at the door happily.

"What's the matter Miss Fang?"

"Mr. Li, I heard someone is going to sell a calligraphy piece at the ghost market tonight. It is said to be an authentic work of Wang Xizhi."

"Mr. Li, this ghost market is full of good and bad people. We in Cuiwen Pavilion may not have the money to buy it."

"Of course I'm not asking you to do anything, Mr. Li, but if the authentic work of Wang Xizhi is sold to a nobody."

"That is indeed our loss. I heard that several young people came to the ghost market tonight."

When Li Jiandong heard this, he was shocked.

He actually dared to sell Wang Xizhi’s paintings.

He originally planned to find someone to arrest the man, but changed his mind.

I guess if these people heard any sign of trouble, they would probably run away.

So just take the words back.

To be honest, when it comes down to it, they are just doing business as normal.

It's not an open robbery, it's just that when you heard the news, you couldn't just stop people from coming.

Thinking of this, Li Jiandong nodded: "Don't worry, Miss Fang."

"I'm going to see it tonight."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll wait for you tonight."

After Fang Ru left.

Yan Bugui also came over cheerfully. "Hey, Chief Engineer Li, you are still strong despite your age."

"A sixty-year-old looks like a thirty-five-year-old. No wonder she's so charming."

Seeing Yan Bugui say this, Li Jiandong also said directly: "You old man, I am the proprietress of Cuiwen Pavilion."

"You came to me because of the ancient calligraphy and painting."

Yan Bugui suddenly realized: "I know this Cuiwen Pavilion, it's a century-old shop in Liulichang."

"Could it be my good-for-nothing son who introduced you to it?"

"That's not the case. Old Yan, you can't look at people with old eyes."

"What do you mean your good-for-nothing son introduced him? Yan Jiefang is pretty good."

Yan Bugui is a good person in every way except that he looks down on his own son.

But when he saw Li Jiandong praising his son so much, he also smiled.
"Chief Engineer Li, if it were someone else I really wouldn't believe this, but I have no problem with what you said."

"However, Chief Li, I want to know if you are going to Cuiwen Pavilion later?"

"No, I was just discussing a painting with the proprietress of Cuiwen Pavilion."

"Nothing serious."

Li Jiandong naturally couldn't tell anyone that he was going to the ghost market.

Seeing Li Jiandong say this, Yan Bugui said, "It has to be Chief Engineer Li."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. You're busy."

After getting rid of Yan Bugui, Li Jiandong now had the opportunity to make preparations.

Last time, Li Jiandong went to the ghost market, but didn’t get anything.

To put it bluntly, the last time Li Jiandong went to the ghost market, he mainly wanted to observe what was there.

If it were the 1960s, you could get a lot of good things at the ghost market.

At that time, supplies were in short supply, so naturally you could find a lot of good things.

Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can even get top-notch cultural relics.

Because supplies were scarce at that time, one pound of meat ticket could be exchanged for things worth hundreds of thousands of dollars today.

But it’s no longer possible now, because everyone’s supplies are no longer tight.

In addition, the food problem has generally begun to be solved, although it has not yet been solved nationwide.

But at least the problem of eating is solved now.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to make a small profit with a big investment in the ghost market.

The main thing is that there aren’t that many good things for you to exchange.

But even so, the ghost market is still worth a visit.

By night, it was almost dawn.

At this time, the courtyard had become quiet.

By this time, basically the entire city was asleep.

I looked at the time and it was almost half past eleven.

Li Jiandong quietly got up from the bed.

After washing up, Li Jiandong got ready and went to the ghost market with a woven bag.

Li Jiandong had originally planned to come to the ghost market to collect some things.

But Fang Ru's words during the day made Li Jiandong decide to go to the ghost market tonight.

Although it is an authentic work of Wang Xizhi, Li Jiandong is not sure whether this news is accurate or not.

But it is better to believe such things exist than to believe they do not exist.

Wang Xizhi was a great writer of expression, and his surviving works are all of the highest quality.

If it were taken away by ordinary people, it would be a loss for the great country.

Li Jiandong could not allow such a thing to happen.

Because of this, Li Jiandong quickly came to the big locust tree.

At this time, because the ghost market opened at twelve o'clock, people had already arrived one after another.

Among these people, there are those who come to buy things, and of course there are also middlemen.

Anyway, there are a lot of fakes in the ghost market, but there are also some genuine ones.

It depends on whether you have the ability to do so.

If you are lucky enough to get the real thing, you will be rich.

At this time, a young man came over to Li Jiandong mysteriously and said, "Boss, do you want a jade wine cup?"

"What jade wine cup?" Li Jiandong looked at him curiously.

The young man happily took out a jade wine cup and said, "It's from the Song Dynasty. This is the cup used by Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty."

Li Jiandong took one look at it and sneered, "How do you know this is the cup that Zhao Kuangyin used?"

The young man said: "Of course I know, this is what my ancestors left behind."

"There is a family tree in my family, and this jade wine cup was used by Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin."

Li Jiandong then said cheerfully: "Okay kid, you're still trying to fool me."

"Your whole life is nothing more than a plastic cup processed by special techniques, but it just looks like jade."

"The production area is along the coast, and the production year is definitely no more than 57."

"With your limited skills, you still come to me to sell fake goods."

"Get lost."

The young man was not angry even though he was exposed by Li Jiandong on the spot.

I saw him still smiling as he took out a brick.

"You are an expert. The jade wine cup is fake, but the brick in your hand must be real."

"These are bricks from the Ming Great Wall. They are very valuable."

"How about you buy one? They sell it for three or eight thousand."

"I won't cheat you, I'll sell it to you for three hundred."

Li Jiandong almost died of laughter.

It is said that in this world, only those who are thick-skinned have the chance to suffer losses.

It was obvious that this person really came here to bully Li Jiandong because he knew nothing.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the bricks of the Ming Great Wall.

If these were really the bricks from the Ming Great Wall, would he dare to sell them?

Places like the ghost market are usually open in the early morning.

But to put it bluntly, there are people from the police station nearby.

But everyone understands that they are neighbors.

Maybe one day I will need to use the ghost market to exchange something.

As long as you don't sell illegal cultural relics or something, I can just turn a blind eye.
But the bricks of the Ming Great Wall are strictly prohibited items.

If you really dare to put them out for sale at the ghost market, the police station will come to trouble you in minutes.

What's more, real Ming Great Wall bricks cannot be bought for just three or five hundred yuan even in this era.

So, Li Jiandong could tell at a glance that this thing was just a broken brick.

"Boy, if you continue to act funny here, I guarantee you will never survive in this world again."

"Either you get out of here now, or I'll help you?" Li Jiandong looked at him.

Seeing that he couldn't deceive Li Jiandong, the young man could only leave in disappointment.

After searching for a long time, Li Jiandong didn't see anyone selling Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and paintings.

But Li Jiandong still didn't give up and planned to ask carefully.

At this moment, Fang Ru ran to Li Jiandong with a flashlight.

Then, Fang Ru said to Li Jiandong: "Mr. Li, I have been looking for you for a long time."

"Are you looking for me?" Li Jiandong looked at Fang Ru in surprise.

"Come with me." Fang Ru said to Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong didn't say anything at this time, he just felt that Fang Ru suddenly came to see him.

Following Fang Ru all the way over, Li Jiandong finally saw it.

Not far ahead, several people were communicating with a stall owner.

It seems that the expressions of several people seem to be wrong.

At this time, Fang Ru said, "Mr. Li, the stall owner is the one who wants to sell Wang Xizhi's calligraphy."

After hearing this, Li Jiandong immediately took Fang Ru over.

Just walked in front of a few people.

One of them said, "Sir, we want to buy the goods from this stall owner."

Li Jiandong glanced at him and said, "Those who come to the ghost market are buyers."

"You buy yours, I look at mine, why do I have anything to do with you?"

After hearing this, the man didn't say much, but he didn't stop it either.

Instead, Li Jiandong came over and took a closer look.

Only then did I see the stall owner handing a painting to a middle-aged man.

The man looked at it seriously.

Then I was a little unsure.

Li Jiandong looked at the calligraphy and painting.

"It's a sentimental note from Wang Xizhi. What a good thing." Li Jiandong said after taking a look at it.

The middle-aged man was a little surprised: "Sir, do you recognize this? Is this really something from Wang Xizhi?"

Li Jiandong then looked at the man and said, "You are a person who lives a simple life, right?" (End of this chapter)
