"How many pieces do you have in your collection now?"
Li Mo's ambitions are too high, and Mr. Qin is more curious.
"One and a half."
Li Mo smiled softly. Although the collection is currently small, there will definitely be more and more in the future. He is confident that he can do this.
Mr. Qin was a little puzzled: "I know you have a Ming Hongwu three-clawed dark dragon and celadon-glazed amphora in your hand. What is the other half?"
"wait a moment."
Li Mo went into the study again, took out something wrapped in cotton cloth, and placed it gently on the coffee table, "Old man, take a look again, is this half a piece?"
Niu Sanpang immediately stepped forward and opened the cotton cloth, revealing a gray-black stone with a few yellow spots.
"Master Li, isn't this a stone?"
"Hey, this stone..."
Mr. Qin couldn't help but squat down, took the flashlight from Li Mo's hand and started to shine it. The more he looked at it, the more shocked his face became.
"Grandpa Qin, is this stone very precious?"
After a long time, Mr. Qin nodded and said: "This is a crow-skin Tianhuang rough stone. It was called the national stone or the emperor's stone in the Qing Dynasty. Nowadays, most of the pieces on the market are small. Such a large Tianhuang rough stone Too rare."
Imperial Stone, do you think it is very precious?
"My little friend, later you can find a famous sculptor to make this crow-skin field yellow rough stone into an ornament. It will definitely be a top-notch collection."
"That's why I said there's only one and a half collection at the moment."
"Master Li, how much is this Emperor Stone worth?"
What Niu Sanpang is most concerned about is the price, and he wishes he could put this piece of Tianhuang rough stone up for auction.
"The starting price is 10,000 yuan per gram, and it can be 20,000, 30,000, or 50,000 yuan per gram after being carved by a famous artist. This piece of crow skin field yellowstone is about 5,000 grams. How much do you think it is worth?"
Qin Sirui answered lightly.
Mr. Qin glanced at his precious granddaughter: "Aren't you not interested in this?"
"Li Mo squeaked in front of me, so I know."
"The Tianhuang rough stones have been mined out long ago. The chance of finding such a big rough stone is lower than winning a lottery of 100 million. My friend, how much did you spend and where did you buy it?"
"Si Rui knows this best. Let her talk to you. Third Fatty, help me move these into the study."
"Master Li, how do you think we can cooperate with the law this time?"
"I'll shoot some material for promotion first. If I need to preview it before the autumn shoot, I'll hand it over to you."
"This is best. Otherwise, I can shoot it now and publicize it early to suppress the arrogance of those people."
"You can take the photo in the study room."
After Niu Sanpang finished his work and Li Mo settled down, he returned to the living room: "Old man, can I accompany you around this afternoon?"
"People don't have that much energy as they get older. Sirui has nothing to do in the afternoon. You young people can go shopping around. I will return to Kyoto in the afternoon. The old Xu family can't help me with this matter."
Li Mo thought for a moment before saying: "The Xu family's matter involves several parties. I know several people from the task force who have been tracking the seller Jiuzhi. Their intervention may be able to minimize the Xu family's losses."
"Then you ask first."
Li Mo walked to the side and dialed Fang Wenjing's mobile phone number, and soon a voice that was willing to lower down came from the other side: "Who is this?"
"I'm Li Mo."
"Li Mo?" Fang Wenjing didn't seem to react immediately. She paused and remembered who it was, "Why did you remember to contact me? I am currently on a mission to monitor Nine Fingers. If there is nothing important, I will hang up first. "
"Don't worry, I would like to ask, are you sure the Nine Fingers you have been monitoring are the real ones?"
"What's the meaning?"
"A person I know here was tricked into spending 110 million to buy a Ming Yongle blue and white plum vase with broken branches, flowers and fruits. It is exactly the same as the stolen plum vase in your file. I have confirmed that it is a modern imitation with exquisite craftsmanship. Taste."
"According to what the buyer said, the seller is also an old man with only nine fingers. After much deliberation, the person you are monitoring is most likely a stand-in, and the real person has already escaped."
"If it is confirmed that the person under surveillance is a stand-in, it means that the stolen genuine Yongle Plum Vase is in Jiuzhi's hands, and there is a complete chain of counterfeiting and a well-organized fraud team behind him. You should be careful."
"I'll call you back later and I'll report the matter immediately."
Li Mo took his mobile phone and shrugged at several people and said, "Wait for the other party to call back."
About twenty minutes later, the phone rang. As soon as Li Mo connected, he heard Fang Wenjing's heavy voice: "The person we are monitoring is a stand-in. Five days ago, we followed Jiuzhi to a rural mountain village. The house he lives in is relatively remote and surrounded by It's farmland, so it's impossible to hide and monitor at close range. Unexpectedly, he had already made arrangements. The substitute attracted us, and the real body had already left through the tunnel. Li Mo, thank you for notifying us in time. We need to contact the deceived person immediately. "
"But the identity of the deceived person is a bit special, and they haven't officially called the police yet."
Li Mo was also helpless.
"Give us the information first, and we will secretly search for relevant clues. This time we were careless and were stabbed by Nine Fingers. The longer the time goes on, the harder it will be to find him."
"Okay, you should be careful. I would like to remind you that they may have set up a trap to deceive another person. This can be used as a clue to follow up."
"Thanks."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mo truly realized the power of the nine fingers.
"Li Mo, what did the police say?"
"Even they were deceived, let alone the three younger members of the Xu family."
Greed is enough to make a snake swallow an elephant.
"Si Rui, do you want to go out for a walk this afternoon? I will be your guide wherever you want to go."
"I'm tired from filming, so I'm going to sleep at home."
But Mr. Qin said: "The weather outside is so nice, just go out for a walk and relax. Maybe it will be more relaxing."
"tired."
…
In the afternoon, Mr. Qin returned to Kyoto by plane with Zhang Daqian's imitation Bada Shanren painting and a pair of Republic of China pastel vases, and Niu Sanpang went back with him.
He needs to go back and discuss in detail with his grandfather what happened during his visit to the Magic City this time. After all, the relationship between the Xu family and the Niu family is a bit special.
"Since you don't want to go out for a walk, let's have a chat." Li Mo was clearing the dining table while chatting with Qin Sirui.
"What to talk about?"
"Let's talk about the relationship between the three of you. Are the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family very harsh on Niu Sanpang?"
"My grandfather, Grandpa Niu, and Grandpa Xu were comrades who enlisted in the army together. They fought together. During a mission, Grandpa Xu blocked a shot for my grandfather, which was a life-saving grace. Grandpa Niu later retired from the army due to injury and changed his career, and started a career. Business."
"The three families have become family friends over the years. The Niu family has made a fortune through business, and the Xu family has also made a fortune under the care of the Qin family and the Niu family. The third fat man is the only male member of the third generation of the Niu family. Ding, I guess the two old men want to make their relationship better, so they are trying to bring the Third Fatty and Xu Jiaxin together."
"Don't you two have eyes for each other?"
"At that time, Fatty Three had a girlfriend in college, so he declined the eldest daughter of the Xu family. At that time, the Niu family restricted him financially in order to train Fatty Three, and he had to rely on him to earn living expenses."
"His girlfriend dumped him again?"
"How do you know?" Qin Sirui was a little surprised.
Li Mo curled his lips and said, "Isn't it often shown like this on TV?"
"After the third fat man was dumped, he was devastated and almost suffered from depression, so he turned his grief and anger into food intake and became fatter. The relationship between him and the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family was formed at that time."
"No wonder the three fat cows in the Xu family choked everywhere but didn't dare to attack."
"Actually, the third fat man is also a temperamental person. He is so anxious to return to Kyoto because he probably wants to ask Grandpa Niu to help the Xu family."
"The emotional history of Young Master Niu is a history of blood and tears." Li Mo cleared the dining table and turned to look at Qin Sirui, "You really don't want to go out for a walk in the afternoon?"
"The drama schedule is very full recently, I need more sleep."
"Okay, contact me if you need anything."
