Li Mo walked out of the store carrying the packaged porcelain basin, and Tashi Duoji quickly followed. He was a bit confused as to what kind of drama Li Mo was playing. He went around the store and finally spent 10,000 cash to buy a porcelain basin filled with snacks.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. What kind of person Li Mo is, how could he be quarrelsome with an antique shop owner? It's very unreasonable. Tashi Duoji watched him carefully carrying the water basin, and a thought flashed in his mind. Could it be that the most inconspicuous basin was the real good thing?
"Mr. Li, let me carry it for you."
"Then be careful, this is a good thing."
"Don't worry, I will be very careful."
Li Mo handed the thing to him and continued to walk forward slowly.
"Doji, is there an antique shop here that sells calligraphy and painting?"
"There is no business that specializes in selling calligraphy and painting, but there are several shops that sell calligraphy and painting. I will take you over to have a look, and maybe you can come across some good things."
Li Mo smiled and then asked: "How old are the children at home?"
"The eldest is eight years old, a daughter, and the son is only three years old. They are both very naughty. I feel so worried when I see them when I go home every day."
"Hahaha, same thing."
Li Mo felt the same and laughed. Suddenly he stopped and stood in front of a stall. This stall displays all kinds of jewelry, including bracelets, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and brooches, including silver products and jade products. The silverware is definitely genuine, and some distressing has been done to make the jewelry look older.
Those jade products are more nonsense. They are really made of ordinary ores. Each jewelry is packed in a box and opened one by one for tourists to choose.
"This gentleman, please pick out some gifts for your family to take back. I'll give you a good price."
The boss is a woman. You can't tell how old she is from her rough skin, but you can see from her eyes that she is somewhat shrewd and she speaks Mandarin very well.
Li Mo looked at the stalls and saw that they were all silver products, but there were no styles that caught his eye.
"Boss, are there any other styles? These silver jewelry styles are not too exquisite."
"Sir, all the jewelry I brought out today are here. I don't like the silver jewelry. Take a look at these jade bracelets and bracelets."
Li Mo glanced around and saw that they were all made of stone using a machine. It was just that the selected stone was a bit fancy, but the texture on the surface of the bracelet seemed quite beautiful. However, because there are many impurities in these products, some of them also contain a certain amount of radiation, and wearing them for a long time is not good for your health.
“The styles are average.”
Li Mo still used the same reason.
The boss was a little unhappy now. He glanced at Li Mo and Duo Ji who was standing next to him and said, "I still have a dozen jade bracelets that I haven't put on display here. Just wait a moment and I'll show them to you. "
Soon, the eight boxes were opened one after another, and the contents inside were all in sets of two or three pieces. Li Mo glanced around and saw that there was something really good.
He picked up one of them. Inside was a pendant jade plaque and a bracelet, glowing with yellow and blue colors, relatively pure and transparent. But it is not jade in the traditional sense, but a natural amber.
"Boss, what kind of material is this? It doesn't feel like jade?"
"Sir, you can't say something nonsense. I have been doing business here for more than ten years. Every jewelry I sell is genuine. If you say that the quality of jade is good or bad, I can still accept it. You If you say it's not made of jade, I really want to talk to you about it."
The boss looked like he was about to start a fight. Li Mo smiled awkwardly and asked quickly: "Boss, what kind of jade do you think this is made of?"
"A very special kind of nephrite, so when you touch it, it feels different from other jade."
The nonsense he said didn't even include a few axes to deceive people. Li Mo didn't expect her to be able to tell the truth. It would be better if she didn't know its origin.
"Listening to what you said, it makes sense." Li Mo put down the box and thought for a moment before asking, "Boss, how much do these two pieces cost?"
When the female boss heard that he asked about the price, a smile finally appeared on her face. She stretched out her hand and said, "Special price, five thousand yuan."
"How much? Five thousand?"
Li Mo pretended to be surprised and raised his voice a bit. The tourists passing by looked at them curiously. Unfortunately, they could only see Li Mo's back, and with the hat on his head, they couldn't see his true face clearly. Allow.
Tashi Duoji interrupted at this time and said: "Boss Li, let's go to other stalls and have a look. Five thousand is too expensive."
"I also think it's too expensive."
Li Mo nodded, clapped his hands and prepared to leave.
"Hey, brothers, there is always a bargaining point in business. If you think five thousand is expensive, then how much is acceptable to you? You can also pay back the price."
Li Mo looked at Duoji and asked him to make a price.
"five hundred."
Tashi Duoji stabbed him to the end.
The female boss probably didn't expect him to bargain so hard, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Boss, if Five Hundred agrees, I will take it away."
Tashi Dorje asked.
"Are you bargaining? Are you trying to kill me? Five hundred yuan is not even enough for me." The female boss waved her hand and glared at him angrily.
Li Mo calmly took out ten red tickets from his backpack and placed them on the stall: "Boss, the price should be about the same. How about you take the money and I take these two items?"
The female boss looked at the money, then at Li Mo. After hesitating for three seconds, she quickly took away a thousand cash.
"Sir, it's better for you to be more cheerful."
Li Mo smiled: "Duoji, take it and take it away."
Tashi Duoji picked up the jewelry box and followed Li Mo, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, do you have anything to say about these two jewelry?"
"This is not made of jade, but natural amber. This kind of amber is found in Fushun coal mines. But this is not a domestic amber, but a Burmese gold blue amber. Normal amber contains impurities, but these two pieces It is very pure and transparent, the best among gold and blue ambers, and very rare. According to market price estimates, two pieces are worth approximately four to five hundred thousand."
Tashi Duoji was secretly stunned. If he bought it for one thousand yuan, he would get four to five million yuan in profit. No wonder he became a super rich man at such a young age.
"Doji, I gave these two pieces of gold and blue amber as gifts to your daughter and son. But they are still young and don't know the value of these two pieces. You can take them back and give them to your wife to wear first. We will see who is the most filial to you in the future. Just pass it on to whoever you want.”
Li Mo was joking with him in the end.
But Duoji couldn't believe that gold and blue amber jewelry worth four to five million was given to him like this?
"Mr. Li, how could I..."
"Yan Xin asked you to come and receive me because he believes in your character. Just accept this gift."
Duoji hesitated before saying respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Next, the two of them visited more than ten stores, but they didn't encounter anything good. Seeing that it was almost noon, the two drove back to the hotel.
"Doji, go up and have a cup of tea."
"Okay." Tashi Duoji wished he could spend more time with Li Mo. Everyone around him was amazing, and getting to know them more would only be beneficial.
In Li Mo's room, he had taken out the porcelain basin and placed it on the table. Chen Xiaoyan and the others looked at it curiously. The one that Li Mo could find must be a treasure.
"Uncle, this looks like a washbasin."
Fu Liang observed for a while and expressed his thoughts.
Li Mo opened the bottom of the porcelain. The six-character small seal script "Qianlong Year System of the Qing Dynasty" has a special design standard, which is the porcelain of the Qianlong official kiln.
"You really got it right. This is the washbasin. It's called the green-painted pastel folding rim basin. In the past, it was traditionally called Yangcai Greenland. It was the basin used by Emperor Qianlong to wash his hands."
Fu Liang suddenly laughed, he was quite discerning. As expected of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, even the washbasin is so luxurious.
"Uncle Master, how much is this washbasin used by Emperor Qianlong worth now?"
Chen Xiaoyan observed closely and touched it with her hands.
"According to porcelain auction records, a similar one was sold on Hong Kong Island for eight million at that time. It is estimated that it will start at least nine million now."
Duoji's throat moved. No wonder he didn't even pay attention to the treasure worth four to five million yuan. He probably wouldn't even bother to sell any antiques worth hundreds of dollars.
"How are you guys doing? Are you feeling okay?"
"Fu Liang and I may have practiced martial arts all year round and are in good physical condition, so the discomfort is gone and we can go out with you at any time."
"Uncle Master, when should we go to the Potala Palace? I heard that there is gold everywhere there. Some people say that it may have the largest amount of gold reserves in the world."
"Having said it all, seeing is believing. If you are all fine, then we will set off there tomorrow. Today we will just take a walk around the area. It is a rare trip to a snow area to learn more about the local customs and gain insights. , I will have bragging rights with others when I go back. Brown Bear, this green land pastel made in the Qianlong year is folded along the edge of the basin and stored away."
There happened to be a food street near the hotel. In the afternoon, Li Mo and the others walked there under the leadership of Duoji. I also saw many foreign tourists along the way, and they all seemed to come here for the so-called delicious food.
As we were about to reach the food court, the scent of cumin filled the air, probably coming from the big meat skewers.
"Mr. Li, there's someone fighting in front." Duoji looked at it and said, "The five people on one side should be Ah San, and the person fighting them is a merchant from the food street."
Li Mo also saw that they were fighting, five versus five, each with a winner and a loser. However, the movement was too loud, and another group of people rushed out of the food street, some holding benches and some holding various tools for making food. They gathered around and greeted the five Asans without saying a word. The situation suddenly became clear. The five Asans were beaten and screamed. They wanted to break out of the encirclement, but there were too many people surrounding them. He was also cruel and beat them to the ground, holding his head and screaming.
Is the folk custom here so tough?
Li Mo stood watching from a distance, and the others watched with gusto.
"Doji, no one cares about this?"
Tashi Duoji scratched his head, the smile on his face was a bit stiff and ugly: "The people from the police station should be here soon."
"No lives will be caused, right?"
"No, absolutely not. Even though they were so ruthless in their attacks, they actually knew it well and didn't even touch their vital points. I guess it must have been caused by those five Asans doing something stupid. The two sides are fighting, and some of the owners of the food court are locals, while most are foreigners. If they don’t unite, life here may not be easy.”
Li Mo saw that they had given up, and the five Asans were crouching on the ground with their heads in their hands, screaming. Even if it didn't kill them, carrying this greeting would definitely break their muscles and bones.
"Look, they've all dispersed."
The group of people who were fighting quickly disappeared, and after they were all gone, they saw a police car emerging from a corner not far away.
"There's nothing to see, let me go."
Li Mo curled his lips, thinking that they would be unlucky to meet a group of tougher opponents. As soon as the police car arrived, the tourists watching the show dispersed to avoid being pulled over to ask questions and delay their wonderful time.
There were a lot of tourists coming and going on the food street. Li Mozhen was about to buy a few skewers of barbecue to try, when he saw six Asans squeeze out of the crowd and rush towards the entrance. They should be here for reinforcements, but unfortunately they arrived late. Many steps.
Li Mo just looked at it, but Duoji beside him had a gloomy look on his face, looking at the back of one of them, Ah San, with hatred in his eyes.
"Doji, do you know them?"
Tashi Duoji nodded and said in a deep voice: "One of the young men is the youngest son of a super rich man in Asan. Our family's business was ruined by them."
"what happened?"
"Hey, this matter is hard to explain."
"If you don't know, don't tell me. You can buy whatever you want."
Li Mo said hello, and then looked at the backs of Ah San, who was about to disappear in the crowd. The information Yan Xin gave him said that a group of Ah San came here to invest, and they used some means to steal the business of the Li family branch. Fucked up. They were unwilling to give up and wanted to take revenge on those Asans, so they secretly collected information, and they even caught some dirty tricks.
"Brown Bear, go say hello to the people at the police station and try to get more information out of those Asan's mouths. Anyway, don't let them get away easily. Find some excuses to control them for a few days, and then interrogate them carefully. "
"Understood, I'll go right away."
Brown Bear is also from the Security Bureau, and he has a work permit on his body. If he shows up and makes any excuse, the local police will definitely cooperate with him.
Except for a few local specialties, the food in the food street is similar to other pedestrian streets, especially the stinky tofu, which is definitely found in any place where you can visit.
"Uncle, try these barbecue skewers. They are full of ingredients and tender and fragrant." Chen Xiaoyan handed him a few barbecue skewers, sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and he really wanted to smell them. But when Li Mo was about to taste it, he suddenly looked at Duoji and asked, "What kind of meat is this made of?"
