treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 940 The Burning Aperture

Seeing Li Mo's leaving back, Xu Pingjun had mixed feelings in his heart. Eight years ago, his father had always wanted to recognize him as his son-in-law.Although there are elements of joking, at least it proves that he had good eyesight and foresight back then.

Looking at his achievements now, there is no one else in the world who can be better than him.The two of them used to have opportunities within reach, but now they are no longer people from the same world. Even though they stand very close, there seems to be an insurmountable gap.

On the antique street, Gu Yunxuan specializes in selling high-quality imitation porcelain from various dynasties, and of course there are genuine products.But the highest market price of such authentic products is around one million. Li Mo selected a few as the treasures of the store. If someone really wants to buy them, they can sell them. Of course, there must be no chance to miss them.

Li Mo walked to the door of Gu Yunxuan with the stewed vegetables, and heard a man's wild roar coming from inside.

"This painting is a treasure handed down from our ancestors. Since you damaged it, you will naturally compensate for the loss. I have consulted a professional. This painting is worth at least 60 yuan. It will be even higher. Why, your Guyunxuan store is really bullying customers, and you still want to play tricks after breaking my 60-worth ancestral treasure."

Li Mo stopped at the door and didn't go in immediately.

"It's you who spouted blood. According to the rules of the antique world, one party is not allowed to fight if the other party touches it. Why did you suddenly snatch the calligraphy and painting in my hand? If you say that the responsibility is naturally on your own. I have surveillance video here. Otherwise, we can call the police directly and let the police judge. If it is my responsibility, I will naturally ask our boss to come forward to do an appraisal for this calligraphy and painting. As long as it is authentic, the amount of compensation will not be less than a penny. But this If the calligraphy and painting are counterfeit, then you are extorting and extorting, and you will be held legally responsible.”

This is Zhou Yang's voice. It can be heard that he is very calm at the moment, and his words are well-founded.

"Don't think that you, Gu Yunxuan, are bullying honest people with the backing of that Li Mo. If you destroy our family's ancestral treasure, you will kill us. If you don't give us an explanation, even if you crash and die here today, we will absolutely kill you." Let it go if you are not good.”

"Yes, if you don't give us an explanation, we won't leave. If you want to work hard, then come."

Chaos began in the store.

Li Mo pushed the door open and walked in. When a bell rang, someone looked towards the door.Zhou Yang saw the visitor clearly, and immediately greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Li, why are you here?"

"Mr. Li is here. It's really great to come." The other shop assistants in Gu Yunxuan's store cheered up one after another, and then looked proudly at the men who were suspected of blackmail.

Li Mo handed the stewed vegetables to Zhou Yang, and said with a smile, "Let's all have dinner together in the evening, and I'll order a few more big dishes later, and everyone can drink some draft beer."

"Oh, long live Mr. Li."

A female shop assistant in her 20s cheered and said that her belly has been raised, and it seems that she is quite pregnant.

"Mr. Li, this is my wife, you can call her Xiaoying."

"Your wife? When did you get married, and you didn't even tell me."

"We just got the marriage certificate, had a simple meal, and didn't make any big fuss, so we just..." Zhou Yang scratched his head in embarrassment. They seemed to have forgotten the few people who made trouble.

"Okay, I'll punish you three times tonight."

"No problem, I will punish myself with six cups."

Li Mo said with a smile: "Punish yourself with six cups, is that self-punishment? It is obvious that you are greedy for cups, yet you still find a high-sounding reason."

Everyone in Gu Yunxuan laughed, and the tense atmosphere just now had disappeared.Looking back at the five men of different ages, each of them had a look of nervousness on their faces.The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, I didn't expect to meet a real god.

jingle--

A few more people came in one after another, all of them were owners of nearby antique shops, and some of them were old acquaintances of Li Mo.

"Hey, Professor Li, when did you arrive?" Boss Wang, who is also in the porcelain business, got fat again, approached with a big belly, and shook hands with Li Mo, "Tell us old guys when you come back, what happened to you at night? I also want to clean up the dust for you. We also heard that someone here is going to make trouble, so we came to check the situation together. Since you are here, we will not interfere."

Li Mo cupped his fists to the bosses and signaled: "Thank you for your help to Gu Yunxuan. I will be the host at noon tomorrow, and everyone will have a meal together at the nearby Four Seasons Tea House. Let's have a good chat."

"Professor Li, then we should obey orders rather than be respectful."

"Yes, yes, we will have a good chat tomorrow, and you can help us hold some of the inventory in our hands."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Mo looked at those people who were deliberately looking for trouble: "Zhou Yang, bring a bottle of water for each of you, and sit down and talk slowly if you have anything to do."

The clerk brought out the water, but he didn't look good at the five of them.

"Which of you is the leader? I just overheard your previous conversation outside the door. I think, before compensation, before verifying whether the calligraphy and paintings are real or not, we should call the police first and let the police judge the process of this matter." Who is responsible in the end, or who should bear the greater responsibility. What do you think?"

What Li Mo said was reasonable, those people didn't know how to refute it.They already had ghosts in their hearts, so looking at each other now, they already had the intention of retreating.

While they were hesitating, Li Mo looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the counter not far away, and found that they were really ancient relics from the late Ming Dynasty, but the artistic level was not very high, so Halo's reaction was not too intense.Then he glanced at the dark rectangular box next to him. There were more than a dozen clear cracks on the surface of the box.He was slightly surprised that the box used to hold the calligraphy and painting was actually an ancient relic handed down from the Tang Dynasty. What are the origins of these five people? Could it really be an ancient relic handed down from their ancestors?
But this is not what surprised Li Mo the most. His perspective vision had penetrated the box to see the internal situation, and suddenly a red halo was transmitted from the bottom of the box again, and then turned into a circle of light and spread around.Each circle of light seemed to be burning, fluctuating like flames.

All of this shows that there is still a calligraphy and painting hidden at the bottom of the wooden box, and it must be a posthumous work of a famous person in history, and it is also a very rare work.

"Mr. Li, there's no need to call the police. It's not good for your reputation if you make a fuss. In this way, you can personally identify this calligraphy and painting. If it is a fake, we will leave immediately. We will definitely not mess around here. .”

A middle-aged man in his 40s with a top off showed an ugly smile.

"I won't do the appraisal with my own hands, so as not to be unfair to you. There also happen to be two owners of calligraphy and painting antique shops here, who are also experts in this field. Let them do the appraisal on their behalf. If they say it is an antique, then we will negotiate a If the price is right, how about we buy it? Then I will find a restoration expert to fix the damage."

"Okay, according to Mr. Li, we all believe in you."

"Yes, we all believe in Mr. Li's character."

The five people agreed one after another, seeing that Li Mo was not going to argue with them, everyone was relieved.Moreover, Li Mo's suggestion is indeed fair to them, and now they can see what the appraisal result is.

"Professor Li, the two of us will do it for you."

Two antique shop owners walked to the counter, spread the torn calligraphy and painting on the countertop, and then carefully appraised it.After about ten minutes, the two looked at each other.

"Just tell me what conclusion you have?"

"Professor Li, judging from the combination of mounting, paper, seal and content, etc. The result of the appraisal between the two of us is that this calligraphy and painting is indeed an old thing inherited from the Ming Dynasty. But it is not inherited by a celebrity, it should be a folk one. It was done by someone who is a little good at calligraphy, and the writing is in lower case, but the strokes are still relatively weak, the momentum is not enough, and the breath is not coherent enough, so the real value is not high."

At this moment, the five people showed a hint of surprise. They didn't expect that it was really an ancient relic, and it was handed down from the Ming Dynasty. In this case, they also had a little bit of confidence.

"Of course, this is the expert opinion of the two of us. How about Professor Li, you also hold the eye?"

Li Mo took a sip, who smiled and waved his hands and said: "You are all veterans in this field, I believe your appraisal conclusions. Since it is an old object from the Ming Dynasty, although it is not a famous one, it has a history of hundreds of years. Everyone, You can make a new price, if it is suitable, how about I pay you immediately?"

The five people looked at each other, and then the man with the top off said tentatively: "Mr. Li, you are a master in this field, how much do you think this calligraphy and painting are worth?"

"You will be disappointed if I make an offer."

Li Mo put down the mineral water bottle, which meant that you set the price yourself.

"We also believe in the appraisal results of the two bosses. Although it is an old object from the Ming Dynasty, it is not left by a famous artist, so we want 20 yuan."

After opening the price, the five of them stared nervously at Li Mo's face.

"The price is a bit inflated, but I won't bargain with you any more. There is a saying that you all keep in mind. It is best not to do this in the future. If you meet someone who is not kind, just your behavior will hurt your legs. Interruptions are light." After Li Mo finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yang, "You write a contract, ask them to sign the monopoly, and then pay them 20 yuan, and the money and the goods are settled."

Zhou Yang nodded, although he was very unconvinced, but since Li Mo had ordered him so, he couldn't cause him any more trouble.

Soon, the five people gathered together and laughed happily after reading the text messages on their mobile phones, then bowed to Li Mo and left in a hurry, fearing that Li Mo would regret it the next moment and ask them for a huge sum of money back.

Well, it was indeed a huge unexpected sum of money for them.

"Professor Li, that painting is only worth [-] to [-] yuan at most, and has no market value."

"That's right, these people know it's not a good story at a glance."

Li Mo got up and walked to the counter, without even looking at the calligraphy and painting, he flicked his right hand to the side, and carefully moved the black wooden box to his eyes.

Damn, it turned out that the wooden box was a good thing. The owners of the antique shop realized that Li Mo's real goal was not the old painting at all, but the wooden box that was dark and cracked.
