Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai
Chapter 238: Prices Soar
He Daqing hesitated for a while, and finally decided to accept the invitation. He knew that this was a rare opportunity to demonstrate his professional level and broaden his horizons.
Liu Xu supported his decision, "Daqing, this is a good opportunity, you should try it. I will wait for you at home."
He Daqing nodded and looked at Liu Xu gratefully. "Thank you, Liu Xu. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."
A few days later, He Daqing embarked on a journey to the exhibition. He sat in the car, full of anticipation and nervousness. The scenery outside the car window kept changing, and his thoughts fluctuated with it. Along the way, he kept thinking about his past and thinking about how to show his unique insights in his speech.
After arriving at the exhibition, He Daqing was arranged to stay in a luxurious hotel. He walked into the room, put down his luggage, sat by the window, and looked at the night view of the city in the distance, with an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
At night, he lay in bed, tossing and turning, with Jia Xiaoying's face and her tearful eyes emerging in his mind. He could not forget her helplessness and despair on that rainy night, and he could not help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that this feeling was not love for Jia Xiaoying, but an inescapable sense of responsibility and guilt.
The next day, He Daqing came to the exhibition venue and met many antique dealers and collectors from all over the world. Everyone welcomed him and praised his appreciation level. He Daqing felt relieved, knowing that his years of hard work had not been in vain.
The speech began. He Daqing stood on the stage, facing the audience, feeling nervous and excited. He took a deep breath and began his speech. From the history of antiques to the appreciation methods and market trends, he spoke eloquently, in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which was fascinating.
The audience listened with great interest and burst into warm applause from time to time. He Daqing spoke eloquently on the podium, as if he had found another stage in his life. He knew that this was not just a speech, but also a recognition of his efforts over the years.
After the speech, He Daqing was surrounded by many collectors, who asked him for the secrets of antique appreciation. He patiently answered every question, feeling full of satisfaction.
At this time, a young
The old collector walked up and handed He Daqing a business card. The old man was tall and thin, with gray hair and a wise look in his eyes.
"Mr. He, I've long heard of your name. I'm Li Bowen. I came here specially to listen to your speech and benefited a lot from it." The old man said with a smile.
He Daqing took the business card and politely returned the compliment, "Mr. Li, thank you for the compliment. It is my honor to share some insights with you all."
Li Bowen nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, "Mr. He is indeed modest. In fact, I have an antique here, and I would like you to appraise it."
He Daqing's heart moved, and he felt an inexplicable excitement and anticipation, "Please rest assured, Mr. Li, I will do my best."
The two agreed to meet in the hotel's tea room. The tea room was antique, with all kinds of antique furniture and calligraphy and paintings placed around. Li Bowen took out a brocade box, opened it carefully, and revealed an exquisite jade.
He Daqing's eyes lit up, and he gently stroked the jade with his fingers, feeling its texture and warmth. He observed carefully and found that it was a jade pendant from the Song Dynasty, with fine carving, clear lines, and a soft luster all over.
"Mr. Li, this is a jade pendant from the Song Dynasty. It is in excellent condition and very rare." He Daqing exclaimed.
Li Bowen nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Mr. He really has a keen eye. This jade pendant was passed down from my ancestors and has always been regarded as a family heirloom. I brought it here today, please identify it."
He Daqing said with emotion, "Mr. Li, such treasures are rare. I admire you for keeping them till now."
Li Bowen smiled slightly, "Mr. He, you are too polite. Actually, I came here this time to make another request. I hope you can help me find some antiques that have been lost for many years."
He Daqing was slightly surprised, "Mr. Li, what are these antiques?"
Li Bowen sighed and said slowly: "These antiques are some treasures collected by my ancestors. Due to wars and changes, they were scattered all over the place. I have always wanted to find them back, but it is too difficult to do it alone."
He Daqing nodded, having already made a decision in his heart, "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will do my best to help you find these treasures."
Li Bowen nodded gratefully, "Mr. He, it is a blessing for my Li family to have a friend like you."
He Daqing smiled slightly, "Mr. Li, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
After returning to the courtyard, He Daqing told Liu Xu about this. After hearing this, Liu Xu asked worriedly: "Daqing, is this too difficult?"
He Daqing held her hand and said gently, "Liu Xu, no matter how difficult it is, I will try my best. Mr. Li's wish is also my wish."
Liu Xu nodded, her eyes full of support and encouragement, "Daqing, I believe you can do it. I will always be by your side."
He Daqing looked at Liu Xu with gratitude, and his heart was filled with strength. He knew that with Liu Xu by his side, he was not afraid of anything.
In the following days, He Daqing began to ask around for information about the lost antiques. He visited many antique dealers and collectors and consulted a lot of information, hoping to find some clues. Every time he set out with hope, although he returned disappointed several times, he never gave up.
One day, He Daqing received a letter from afar, which mentioned the auction information of an antique that was suspected to be the lost antique of the Li family. He immediately decided to go to the auction to find out.
The auction was held in a luxurious hall, and the scene was very lively, with many collectors and antique dealers gathered together. He Daqing walked into the venue, carefully observing the auction items, and finally stopped his eyes on an exquisite blue and white porcelain.
"Could this blue and white porcelain be the one that Mr. Li mentioned?" He Daqing thought to himself. He looked at it carefully and found that there was a special mark engraved on the bottom of the blue and white porcelain, which was the unique mark of the Li family.
The auction started, and He Daqing stared at the blue and white porcelain, not wanting to miss any details. When the auctioneer announced the blue and white porcelain, He Daqing raised the bidding card in his hand without hesitation.
"One hundred and fifty thousand." He quoted the first price.
Other bidders made bids one after another, and the price soared. He Daqing followed calmly, with only one thought in his mind: no matter what, he must take this blue and white porcelain back.
Finally, in the fierce bidding, He Daqing bought the blue and white porcelain at a high price of 400,000 yuan. When the auction hammer fell, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
