This is a jade unicorn with an ancient shape. It is only about the size of a palm and is suitable for holding in your hand.
It is carved from Hetian white jade. The jade quality is delicate and warm. The Kirin is in a kneeling shape, with a majestic face. It looks up into the distance and carries poems and books on its back. It is full of charm and has profound meaning.
In the middle of the head of this jade unicorn, there is a piece of bright red color the size of a fingertip, which adds a bit of agility to this jade unicorn and makes it even more naive.
Due to long-term playing with it, the surface of this jade unicorn has been covered with a thick layer of patina, making the jade quality more radiant and shiny.
Under the illumination of the spotlight, the jade unicorn seems to be glowing with a layer of gleaming light, which is mesmerizing to look at.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, the colors emitted by this jade unicorn are more dazzling, and the precious light it possesses is more charming.
As Fang Yufei retells, everyone in the live broadcast room noticed this naive jade unicorn and were instantly attracted to this treasure.
Many of them took screenshots, then enlarged the pictures and began to appreciate and observe them carefully.
Elder Jin, Elder Qin and others also took screenshots and began to study.
The live broadcast room became more and more lively, with exclamations coming and going.
"Wow! This jade unicorn is so beautiful. The coating is thick and natural. It looks like an old item at first glance."
"We must get this jade unicorn, Xiao Ran. If it is really an ancient jade, how much money will it cost?"
Xiao Chen Qing Ling said excitedly.
Before he finished speaking, the five-color Rubik's Cube continued:
"Who doesn't want this treasure? But given the quality of this jade unicorn, it is probably out of reach for many people."
"Give me a rough estimate, Xiao Ran, so that we can give up completely!"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle, and then whispered back:
"I don't know much about ancient jade and have never handled it before, so I can't determine the age and value of this jade unicorn."
"But I can tell you that I like this jade unicorn very much. No matter how much it costs, I will take a photo of this treasure today!"
While they were talking, several appraisal experts including Mr. Jin, Mr. Qin, and Mr. Li from Shangbo sent out several barrages in unison.
And these people seemed to be very excited, one barrage after another.
Fang Yufei, who had just returned to the presidential suite on the top floor, had opened her laptop and entered the live broadcast room from the computer.
The first time she saw these barrages, she read them out quickly.
"Xiao Ran, Mr. Jin and the others have recognized this jade unicorn. It is a famous ancient jade that has been passed down in an orderly manner. The piece of blood on the unicorn's head is the most important evidence."
"The person who carved this jade unicorn was Lu Zigang, the most famous jade carving master in the Ming Dynasty. This is the famous Zigang jade."
"During the Qing Dynasty, this jade unicorn has been kept in the palace. It was a favorite of emperors of all dynasties and is recorded in some Qing palace books."
Hearing this, even though Xiao Ran had already seen the value of this jade unicorn and knew the era it came from, he was still shocked.
He never expected that this was actually the famous Zigang Yu.
Zigang jade is the pinnacle of ancient Chinese jade carving technology!
Zigang jade that has been handed down to this day is extremely rare, and almost every piece is priceless.
Who would have imagined that I would actually find a piece of Okonama in Las Vegas, and it would be at my fingertips!
Jin Lao and the others were still sending barrages, while Fang Yufei was repeating them.
"It was not until the Republic of China that this jade unicorn left the palace and fell into the hands of Yuan Kewen, one of the four princes of the Republic of China."
"Yuan Kewen likes this jade unicorn very much and never leaves him."
"Zhang Boju, who was also the fourth son of the Republic of China, also wanted to get this jade unicorn, but he was never able to do so."
"In 1931, Yuan Kewen died of illness in Tianjin. The jade unicorn has been missing since then. It is said that it was stolen by a junior member of the Qing Gang."
"In the following decades, this jade unicorn never appeared again. Who would have imagined that it would appear in Las Vegas?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the live broadcast room immediately exploded.
"Let me go! This jade unicorn is actually the famous Zigang jade, and it is the favorite of Yuan Kewen, the fourth son of the Republic of China. It is absolutely worth a fortune!"
exclaimed the Quiet Silent Man.
"There is no doubt that this is definitely a top-notch antique cultural relic, and it is also a big leak!"
"You must get this jade unicorn, Xiao Ran. The price is whatever you want, and I will never bargain!"
He said boldly while half asleep, ready to strike first.
After some excited exclamations, the other guys who had taken a fancy to this jade unicorn began to lament.
The reason is simple. They know that they cannot afford this jade unicorn.
Considering the market conditions of Zigang Jade, and the fact that it was an old collection of the Qing Palace, it was on the desks of successive Qing emperors, and it was also the favorite of Yuan Kewen, the fourth son of the Republic of China.
You can imagine how amazing the price of such a piece of Zigang jade would be!
Even those rich second generations in the live broadcast room would probably have a hard time winning this jade unicorn.
Contrary to them, the fans in the collector's live broadcast room all have such strength.
They knew very well that the price of this jade unicorn would definitely exceed five million, and they were qualified to participate in the competition.
Without exception.
Every fan in the collector's live broadcast room made a purchase request.
"Xiao Ran, my boss wants this jade unicorn for 60 million yuan. What do you think?"
One of the fans couldn't wait to bid.
Immediately afterwards, the other guys also made offers, one after another, scrambling to be the first.
"80 million yuan, Xiao Ran, if this piece of ancient jade is really Yuan Kewen's favorite, my boss is willing to pay this price to buy it!"
"One hundred million! I want this jade unicorn!"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the quotes from these guys.
Fortunately, the fans in the No. 1 live broadcast room can't hear these quotes, otherwise they would have exploded.
After a pause, Xiao Ran said with a smile:
"Everyone, please be patient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
"I haven't taken a photo of this jade unicorn yet. It's a bit too early to quote now."
"When I get this jade unicorn, we will discuss the follow-up matters. Please be patient."
Following his words, the live broadcast room suddenly became quieter.
Next, he began to look at other treasures placed on the display shelf, mainly looking at the jade articles.
The quality of these jade articles is very outstanding, and they are all top-grade goods, and none of them are fake.
If it is a fake or a very low-grade jade, it is impossible for the Venetian Casino to accept it, and it will not be able to exchange for a few chips!
The Venetian has a branch in Macau and is very aware of the Chinese people's love for jade, and will also accept gamblers to use high-quality jade as collateral to borrow money.
Of course, the amount of money that can be borrowed as a mortgage is very limited. At most, it is only equivalent to 30 to 40% of the value of the jade, or even only 10 to 20%.
In the entire Las Vegas, the Venetians are probably the only ones who can accept so much jade as collateral.
Just when Xiao Ran was admiring these treasures on the display shelf, Sister Min suddenly said in surprise:
"Xiao Ran, there is a green jade bead chain on your left hand side. Can you get closer and take a photo?"
"Of course it's no problem, Sister Min."
With that said, Xiao Ran walked to the jade bead chain and pointed the high-definition camera at the treasure.
This is a very stunning jade bead necklace, composed of thirty-three crystal clear Laokeng beads connected in series.
Each bead is basically the same size, ranging from 13 to 15 mm in diameter.
What's more important is that these jade beads are close to the glass species, or at least the high-ice species, and all the beads have the same color, obviously coming from the same piece of jade.
These jade beads are large and plump, with a rich and uniform color, and are in perfect condition. No matter which angle they are viewed from, they can reveal a green light as clear as water.
Under the illumination of spotlights, this jade bead necklace appears even more dazzling, crystal clear and mesmerizing.
Looking at this jade bead necklace, both Xiao Ran and the many fans in the live broadcast room were amazed by it.
Especially the female fans, their eyes were wide open, and everyone was fascinated.
At this moment, Sister Min's voice suddenly came again.
"Hey! This jade bead necklace looks quite familiar."
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the jewelry of a friend of my mother's. I have seen photos of this jade bead necklace."
"According to my mother, her friend's suitcase was stolen when she traveled to the United States last October, and this jade bead necklace was in the suitcase!"
"I didn't expect this jade bead chain to appear here. I'm going to tell my mother and ask her to notify that aunt!"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Sister Min, I advise you not to get into trouble."
"It may not be a good thing for you to tell that aunt about this matter. It may destroy family harmony."
"Just asking, does your aunt like gambling?"
"ah!"
Sister Min exclaimed, then froze.
Everyone else in the live broadcast room understood instantly and laughed loudly.
