"Of course, let's talk about these things one by one." Several businessmen said.

"Okay, let me explain it clearly." Shen Hong nodded, making Su Jing and the others prick up their ears. Shen Hong first pointed to the porcelain bowl and said, "The base of this porcelain bowl is genuine, but it's just a The base and the body of the bowl are modern imitations and glued together."

There is no doubt that this bowl is worthless, which made the businessman who bought the porcelain bowl feel depressed. Peng Ming, Yang Wei and others looked at Su Jing, thinking that Su Jing was right.

"This Jade Avalokitesvara is indeed Hetian jade, and its image is quite vivid. Jade Avalokitesvara appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There were fewer in the Ming Dynasty and more in the Qing Dynasty. However, the Avalokitesvara statues we see are basically standing. There is no side lying like this. In addition, there is a stack of books next to the Guanyin, which I have never seen before. Also, this Guanyin has closed eyes, and the Guanyin in the Qing Dynasty did not. Finally, as mentioned above, this work is not They are not works of Ming and Qing Dynasties, but modern antique handicrafts." Shen Hong said eloquently, making it clear to everyone.Shen Hong introduced Lao Tzu's woodcarvings and mandarin duck inkstones one by one, all of which were not authentic, which made many who didn't buy them feel very lucky.

"Looking at this blue and white jar again, it's very simple, straight up and down, closed at the mouth, closed at the bottom, and the top is a pearl button. This is the official style of the Yongxuan period. The official kiln in the Yongle and Xuande period had this classic style. It has been passed down to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has not changed, and there is a clear record in the Qianlong Qing archives. Therefore, this is a standard Qianlong blue and white brocade ground pattern lid jar." Shen Hong said.

"In other words, this is the real thing?" The middle-aged man who bought the blue and white jar said in surprise. Although he was also the one who bought the Jade Guanyin, it cost 20 yuan to buy two pieces, but the real thing is worth 30 yuan, so it is equivalent to earning ten dollars. Ten thousand.

"Yes, congratulations." Shen Hong nodded and smiled. Although the genuine product was bought, he still made nearly 20 yuan after selling five pieces.

"But why is there no money under this jar?" Another man was puzzled.

"For this kind of pot, it will never be signed, and the later emperors will learn from Yongxuan, and they will also ask for it not to be signed. This feature is in line with the records in the Qing Dynasty." Shen Hong explained, and the man suddenly realized.When the dust settled, some were happy and some were sad, but the few who bought it all had enough financial resources, and they were depressed, but they obviously didn't really feel relieved, one hundred thousand was still affordable.

"Old Mr. Shen, nine of your things are fake and one is real. If this blue and white jar is real, it means that the remaining five items are all fake." Su Jing pointed to the remaining five items.

"You can say that." Shen Hong nodded.

"Then what is the price of this painting, can you sell it to me?" Su Jing asked, Shen Hong, He Ruixiang, Su Zhenyue, Peng Ming and others were all taken aback, knowing that it was a fake, why would they still buy it?

Chapter 1 The prototype of the building

"Do you want to buy this painting?" Shen Hong looked at Su Jing suspiciously.

"Yes, I want to learn some painting through copying." Su Jing's words made He Ruixiang, Su Zhenyue, Peng Ming and others suddenly realize that this painting may be a fake, but it also has a certain level of painting, which is enough for beginners to copy.

"Although this is not an authentic work, it has a lot of skill after all, and it is not worthless. I will charge you a little cheaper, 1000 yuan." Shen Hong said.

"Deal." Su Jing said straightforwardly. The reason why he wanted to buy it was because there was a painting in this painting, and he really wanted to find out. Maybe it was an authentic painting?Su Jing was reluctant to spend 10 yuan to gamble on things that he was not sure about, but 1000 yuan was still affordable.

After Su Jing bought this painting, he didn't peel off the painting on the spot. If it was a worthless painting, wouldn't it be embarrassing to peel it off by himself? Shen Hong.In short, whether it is true or false, it is not suitable to peel it off now, or wait until you go back, and then slowly untie it yourself.

Everyone at the scene didn't care about this matter, so why care about a 1000 yuan counterfeit?

The birthday banquet was still going on, and the guests were having a good time eating birthday noodles and playing some small shows.

When the birthday banquet was about to end, Su Jing pulled He Jingdong to a corner and said, "Brother He, I need your help with something."

"What's the matter?" He Jingdong asked curiously. Although the relationship between the two families was very good, it was the first time that Su Jing asked him for help.

"I want to build a building, and I want to ask you to design it." Su Jing said bluntly.

"Building a building? What is it used for?" He Jingdong looked puzzled.

"Use it to live in." Su Jing said.

"..." The corners of He Jingdong's eyes twitched. Building a mansion to live in is too capricious. Even if you have money, you don't spend it like this. He suggested, "Isn't it more suitable to build a villa to live by yourself?"

"I just want the building." Su Jing smiled.

"Then tell me first, how big is the area, and what are the requirements?" He Jingdong asked.

"The area is about [-] to [-] square meters. The requirements for the first floor are very simple. The interior is completely empty. How high can it be built? Can the first floor be more than ten meters? The second floor is a storage room with a height of about six meters. I want to plant in the third floor, which requires excellent lighting and one-sided light transmission. The inside cannot be seen from the outside, and the height is about six meters. The fourth floor is the place to live, built in a villa style, and has a roof The swimming pool is enough." Su Jing said.

To build such a four-story building, the purpose of each floor is very clear. The first floor is naturally used to directly store space-time garbage. If there is more garbage, the current backyard cannot hold it at all. Once it overflows, it will be troublesome if people see it. And if someone shoots from the sky, it is easy to reveal the truth.The second floor is used to temporarily store some collections and some valuable garbage, which can be regarded as a transfer station and storage room.The third layer is used to plant cannibal vines, willows and other plants that are not suitable for seeing people.The fourth floor, of course, is where I live.

"..." Listening to Su Jing's words, He Jingdong was petrified on the spot. If Su Jing hadn't said it seriously, he would have thought Su Jing was joking. Even a rich man with hundreds of millions of assets would not be so extravagant. too exaggerated.

"Why, can't it be built?" Su Jing asked.

"Now it's not a question of whether it can be built, but that you have to build it like this? Have you asked your parents?" He Jingdong asked.

"I'm in charge of this matter, why ask my parents?" Su Jing said quickly, if her parents knew about this matter, she would definitely not agree to it. After all, the cost far exceeded her own assets, so she planned to cut it first and then play it.

"Do you know how much it will cost?" He Jingdong asked.

"I don't know, how much will it take?" Su Jing shook her head.

"According to your request, at least 1000 million. If the decoration is better, it will be more than this price." He Jingdong wanted to scare Su Jing and make him retreat.

"That's okay." Su Jing breathed a sigh of relief, 1000 million is acceptable. As for the decoration, it can be decided according to the situation. At worst, the decoration should be saved, and we can do it when we have money.

"It's okay?" He Jingdong's eyes widened. It seemed that Su Jing was more rich than he imagined. He Jingdong rubbed his brows, thinking that this year is really the world of young people, he hesitated and said, "I can help you design , but when your parents ask, don’t use me as a shield, and you should think carefully about whether you can afford it in terms of funds, and don’t blame me if you go bankrupt.”

"Of course." Su Jing nodded.

"Are there any land drawings?" He Jingdong asked.

"I drew a simple one." Su Jing took out a blueprint, and simply drew the shape of the land, indicating the length and width, the location of the building, and the approximate area.

"Let me draw a simple outline first, and see if you like it." He Jingdong took out a stack of manuscript paper and a pen, and began to draw on it. After destroying several manuscript papers in succession, a prototype of a building was formed. Out.

"How is it?" He Jingdong asked quite complacently.

"Okay, I like it." Su Jing looked at this blueprint, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. The whole building shrank from the lower to the upper floors, like a mountain towering into the sky, full of sense of fashion and design. (refer to the cover)

"This is just a prototype, and it needs to be modified according to the analysis of the building's stress. There are still many details to consider, but since you like it, the general shape is like this. Tomorrow I will take a friend to your site to investigate the geology and terrain. Then calculate the approximate cost, and then discuss the details." After He Jingdong agreed to the design, he seemed very caring.

"You still know the construction team, right?" Su Jing asked.

"Of course, if it is really going to be built, I will introduce a very good construction team to you." He Jingdong nodded.

"Then it's settled." Su Jing couldn't help being very excited when he thought that he would own a building, and asked again, "By the way, how long will it take to build it at the fastest speed?" Although currently, the garbage is Dumping at three or four o'clock in the morning, there must be no construction during that time period, but I am not sure that it can be cleaned up before dawn, so it will be very troublesome to dump garbage during the construction process, so I hope to complete the construction in the shortest time.

"If you want to be fast, now there is a new technology, similar to Lego building blocks, using sustainable building modular materials, 95% of the engineering volume is completed in the factory, when building, it is like 'stacking blocks', one month It can be done." He Jingdong said.

"Stacking blocks? Is this solid?" Su Jing's eyes widened. One month was much faster than he thought, but it just sounded unsafe.

"Hehe, this is a new technology. The main body of this building is a modular steel structure. Although the construction process is like 'building blocks', there is no problem in terms of safety. As long as the design is reasonable, it can resist a magnitude [-] earthquake." He Jingdong laughed.

"That's good, just use this." Su Jing said excitedly.

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it after the on-site investigation." He Jingdong smiled, seeing Su Jing's seriousness, he knew that there was no accident, and he should have accepted a big order. Since he agreed to Su Jing, he would do his best, but he did. He didn't intend to make any money from Su Jing, after all the two families were close, Su Jing was just like his younger brother.

Chapter 1 Bamboo and Stone Figures

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the birthday banquet ended.

Su Zhenyue and Ye Qin had to stay for a while longer, Su Jing and his classmates left first, and went to a nearby barbecue restaurant for dinner. Although they said they wanted to kill Su Jing, the main purpose was actually to chat among classmates. After a chat, it was hard to get together after all.Several people played until about twelve o'clock in the evening, and then they broke up and went back to their respective homes.

The next day, He Jingdong came to Su Jing's house and did a field inspection. Although it was the sea, the sea was full of reefs, and the land under the house was strong enough, so it could be built. In the end, He Jingdong estimated the price at 1000 million, including the various layouts and requirements requested by Su Jing. The decoration, including the luxury decoration of the villa on the fourth floor, was originally said to be at least 1000 million, but it was deliberately raised to let Su Jing back out. 1000 million is quite a luxury.

The only remaining problem now is that it seems that the countryside cannot be built so high. Su Jing called and asked Wang Zhuo. Firstly, because the Wang family is very powerful, it is easy for Wang Zhuo to come out to handle things. Secondly, Wang Zhuo has sent people to inspect the surrounding areas. Environment, and with the permission of the government, he is ready to start developing this area of ​​tourism. He now has a great say in the buildings in this area.

"Why did you build such a tall building?" Wang Zhuo asked in surprise after hearing Su Jing's words.

"Live by yourself." Su Jing said.

"..." Wang Zhuo on the opposite side couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Not long ago, Su Jing was just a rural guy with a good cooking skill, but in a blink of an eye he became such a rich man. It seems that he didn't miss it. Su Jing must be someone in the future. .

"Don't worry, I will help you with all the formalities." Wang Zhuo smiled, apparently this was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

"Thank you so much." Su Jing said happily.

"Why are you being polite to me?" Wang Zhuo chuckled and then said, "I also have something to ask for your help. I have an old friend who has lost his appetite in the past six months because of his age. Can't you cook a few meals for him?"

"It's a trivial matter. I will deliver it in person at another day's appointment, but I can't guarantee whether it will work." Su Jing agreed without hesitation, but she dare not guarantee that it will work. is different.

"Hehe, if he can't even eat what you cook, it can only be said that his time limit is running out and there is no way out." Wang Zhuo laughed.

"..." Su Jing was speechless for a while, did he hurt his old friend so much?

After hanging up the phone, Su Jing discussed with He Jingdong for a while and confirmed some details. He Jingdong seemed to be inspired, and he couldn't wait to leave with the manuscript paper. With He Jingdong designing and introducing the familiar construction team, Su Jing is basically not needed in the future Worry about it.However, although it is said that one month is enough for the "building blocks" process, the preliminary work is still relatively time-consuming, and there is no rush.

"1000 million, I'm not enough, I still have to make money." Su Jing planned to send the tree roots to Wanbao Auction House, but he only had 266 million on hand, and 800 million would be enough.

"Look at this painting." Su Jing took out the landscape painting he bought from Shen Hong. After buying it, Su Jing knew that from the perspective of professionals, this painting couldn't be more fake. The quality and ink stains all reveal that it is a modern copy, and the level of copying can only be passable.In fact, Wu Daozi's masterpiece "The Picture of Heavenly King Sending His Son" is not the original work, but a copy of Li Gonglin from the Song Dynasty.Because of this, no one bought it before.

"Let's untie it and have a look." Su Jing released his mental power, drilled in from the gap at the edge of the painting, and then slowly lifted the surface along the gap. If it is done by hand, I am afraid it will require a high level of skill, otherwise it will be easy to tear Destroying the paintings inside, but using mental power to separate from the inside is very simple.A corner was torn open, revealing the yellowed paper inside, and a corner of the ink painting. There were a few bamboos and a few columns of characters.

Su Jing continued to peel off, and after a while, the surface layer was completely torn away, revealing the whole painting, with only a few bamboos and two standing stones on it.Simple and simple, although Su Jing doesn't know how to do it, I feel that the artistic conception of this painting is elegant, much better than before unraveling it.

"Check to see if it is a famous painting." According to the words on the painting and the red seal, Su Jing searched the information on the Internet. After a while, he really found some clues for him, showing a look of surprise, "Could it be—— —Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone Picture"?"

Zheng Banqiao was a famous calligrapher and painter in the early Qing Dynasty, and also one of the famous Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. Thick leaves, lean and tall, with a superhuman style, the orchids painted highlight the wildness of the mountains, with elegant brushstrokes and a delicate fragrance.

Interestingly, Zheng Banqiao is different from ordinary literati. For thousands of years, most Chinese literati are ashamed to talk about money, and most of them think it is vulgar. Zheng Banqiao has a unique view of elegance and vulgarity, and thinks that there is nothing shameful in exchanging paintings for money.

At the age of 30, Zheng Banqiao could hardly make ends meet by teaching, so he went to Yangzhou to sell paintings for a living. , the income is several times higher than the low salary", and he has thought about his way out, and he wants to sell paintings for a living with his friends surnamed Li. Inkstone, bring my manuscript quickly, sell paintings in Yangzhou, and grow up with Li."Sure enough, after he resigned, he worked as a professional painter until he died of illness, selling paintings to earn a living for 10 years.

As a professional painter, Zheng Banqiao has a relatively large number of paintings in existence. According to statistics, there are more than 7000 paintings.However, among them, the authenticity is mixed, and fakes are flooding the auction field. Some people say that "the authentic works are less than one-tenth".

"I don't know if it's an authentic work or a fake. If it's an authentic work, it will be developed." Su Jing looked at the bamboo and stone painting in front of him, feeling a little excited. This is just a painting that he bought for 1000 yuan. Millions are a very normal thing, which is equivalent to making millions by changing hands, which is even easier than picking up money.

"At that time, by the way, take it to Wanbao Auction House for appraisal." After all, Su Jing didn't know how to do it, so he couldn't appraise it. He thought in his heart that it had been unlocked anyway. Even if he put it in front of Shen Hong, he wouldn't recognize it as the landscape painting. .

At this moment, Su Jing heard a cry, it was a killer whale calling.

Su Jing put away the bamboo and stone picture and came to the beach, only to see the killer whale holding a large piece of white thing, which seemed to be used as a gift for himself. During this time, every time the killer whale came over, it would bring a gift along the way. But most of them are of little value. After all, it doesn't know what is valuable.

"Little Tiger, what did you give this time?" Su Jing walked up, took the large white thing out of the killer whale's mouth, and then couldn't help showing doubts. The gift from the killer whale in the past, although Some are not very valuable, but they are more beautiful, such as shells, corals, etc., but what is this white lump?

Chapter 1 Ambergris

Su Jing took the big white thing and turned it over and over again. It looked like an unattractive white and gray "stone", with densely packed "bee eyes" on the surface. It was as big as four bricks, but very Light, about two or three catties, like a pumice stone.The surface is wet, and there is still a fishy smell.

Su Jing stared at it for a long time, the more he looked, the brighter his eyes became, his expression was full of disbelief, this white thing looked like the legendary ambergris.As the name suggests, ambergris should be fragrant, but it is after drying, and the wet one has a fishy smell.

Ambergris is undoubtedly a treasure. It can be used not only as a precious traditional Chinese medicine, but also as a fixative. It is a precious raw material sought after by perfume manufacturers, and its price is more expensive than gold.Because of its high price, it is also floating on the sea, so it is also known as "floating gold on the sea".

In ancient times, people believed that ambergris was the saliva that the "dragon" in the sea shed while sleeping, dripped into the sea water and solidified, and formed after a long period of time.With the progress of the times, natural mysteries have been uncovered one by one. People think that the statement that ambergris is the saliva of "dragon" is unscientific, so there are various conjectures: some say it is a submarine volcanic eruption. Some said it was formed by guano droppings on islands floating into the water after a long period of weathering; some said it was beeswax, which was formed after long floating in sea water; fungus.

But it was later discovered that ambergris was the excrement of sperm whales. Sperm whales are the largest species of toothed whales. The males are 23 meters long and the females are 17 meters long. They feed on squid and octopus, but Squid and octopus have tough horny jaws and tongue teeth, which are not easy to digest. When sperm whales swallow large molluscs, the jaws and tongue teeth accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, which stimulates the intestinal tract, and the intestinal tract secretes a special A waxy substance that wraps the food residue, slowly forming ambergris.

The ambergris discharged into the sea is light black at first, which is worthless in this state. Under the action of sea water, after more than ten years, it gradually turns brown, gray, light gray, and finally white.The quality of white ambergris is the best. It must be soaked in sea water for more than a hundred years to remove all impurities before it can become the top grade of ambergris.

"Little Tiger, you didn't really get me a piece of the finest white ambergris, did you?" Su Jing couldn't believe it, holding the white thing carefully with both hands as if he had found a treasure, for fear of breaking it.

"This is found near the big-headed monster." The killer whale called out.

"Big-headed monster... Could it be the sperm whale?" Su Jing was stunned. The head of the sperm whale accounts for a quarter to one-third of the body. It can indeed be regarded as a big-headed monster. The sperm whale is huge and very ferocious. It can also be regarded as the overlord of the sea. , but compared to killer whales, it is a bit weaker. If there is anything that can invade the area where sperm whales are active, it must be killer whales.

"Ask Shen Hong, although this old fox is sometimes tricky, but his professional knowledge is solid, he should know more about ambergris." Su Shi immediately called Shen Hong, but the other party did not answer.

Su Jing thought that Shen Hong might be busy temporarily, so he took a few photos of the white object, and took a few photos of "Bamboo and Stone Picture" by the way, edited a paragraph of text, and sent it to Shen Hong, let him have a look first, It's not too late to send it to Wanbao Auction House later.

Unexpectedly, not a while after the photo was sent, Shen Hong called back, his tone full of excitement: "You said you took the photo, your own bamboo and stone map and ambergris?"

"Yes." Su Jing said.

"Are you at home, I'll go over to your side later." Shen Hong said excitedly, at the same time he was very envious and jealous, why all the treasures are at Su Jing's place, this is too unfair.What he never expected was that the bamboo and stone map was bought from him yesterday, and it only cost 1000 yuan.

"I will go to Wanbao Auction House in a day or two at most. You don't need to come here. Tell me first whether this painting is genuine, whether this white thing is ambergris, and if so, it is worth it." How much?" Su Jing asked.

"Just looking at the photos, how can I be sure? But it seems that the bamboo and stone painting is likely to be an authentic work by Zheng Banqiao, and the value should be more than one million. The white object is also very likely to be ambergris, such a color of top-grade ambergris, The estimated price is more than 1000 yuan per gram, and your dried piece is about two catties, which means at least one million. Of course, if you meet a collector you like, then it’s not calculated by the gram.” Shen Hong replied.

Su Jing's eyes lit up when he heard that, the bamboo and stone map is indeed worth millions, and the ambergris is indeed expensive.Moreover, with Shen Hong's character, the price he said is definitely relatively conservative, that is to say, there may be a lot more than 100 million. Of course, the premise is that the bamboo and stone painting is authentic, and the ambergris is also real. That estimate is almost worthless, and fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

"I haven't seen the real thing, I haven't been tested, so I can't make an accurate judgment. When will you come over... I have something to do right now, so I'll go to your house later and help you to be firm." Shen Hong seemed impatient Nai, it was obvious that he was moved again after seeing the treasure.

"This...well." For Su Jing, going to Wanbao Auction House for appraisal is not much different from being firm at home. Perhaps home appraisal can be more at ease, at least in his own territory.

"I'll get over it as soon as I'm done with the matter at hand, and you mustn't do anything to damage Ambergris." Shen Hong hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

"What's so exciting?" An old man next to Shen Hong asked.

"Look." Shen Hong handed over the phone picture.

"Bamboo and stone painting! Ambergris!" The old man's eyes lit up immediately. In fact, the bamboo and stone painting is not bad. He has seen a few authentic works, so he wouldn't be so surprised. The key is such a quality of ambergris, which is really rare. He said, "We're going to finish the identification of these things, and then hurry over there. Some people pretend to understand and test randomly, and the result is damage to the baby."

"Well, hurry up." Shen Hong nodded.

After Su Jing hung up the phone, he didn't wait for Shen Hong at home, and asked the killer whale: "Xiao Hu, just now you said that you found this thing near the big-headed monster's territory, can you still see the big-headed monster now when you go out to sea?"

"It can be seen that they are still over there." The killer whale called.

"Go, take me to take a look." Su Jing put the white object into the storage room at home, then changed into a swimsuit, put on diving goggles, and also brought the camera that can shoot underwater that I bought a few days ago, riding Go to sea on killer whales.

First, I want to see the legendary sperm whale with my own eyes. Second, if the orca brings back ambergris, it is worth going nearby to see if there is any.It's not too late for this matter, after waiting for a long time, even if there is ambergris, I don't know where it has gone.

After several tens of meters out to sea, Su Jing suddenly realized the safety issue. What if he was attacked by a sperm whale?After all, the little tiger is still young, so it is impossible for him to be the opponent of the adult sperm whale.But after thinking about it, sperm whales seldom prey on the surface of the sea, and they like to eat molluscs such as squid and octopus, and the swimming speed of sperm whales is not as good as that of killer whales.

Su Jing plucked up his courage, and was led by the killer whale to swim quickly to the open sea.

Chapter 1 The Sperm Whale

The killer whale swam with Su Jing for more than an hour before stopping.
