Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes
Chapter 1170: Fossil sources
“Boss, the woman has also followed here. There are two people. The other person is sitting in the car, parked across the street outside the Antique City.”
A security guard approached and said quickly and calmly.
“Keep an eye on them.”
Li Mo became more and more curious about where the other person came from and what he wanted to do. He was actually staring at him from the hotel. He finished browsing the first row of stalls, then turned and walked towards the building complex behind. There are also many street stalls there, almost full on both sides of the road.
There are more and more tourists in Chifeng Antique City. Most of them are tourists from other places. There are also many antique dealers from other places who come to hunt for goods. If they see something that looks good, they will buy it back to fool tourists. It depends on how much they can earn. Real ability.
Li Mo walked all the way and didn't fancy any antiques. Finally, he stopped in front of an antique shop and looked up at the signboard 'Qishi Zhai'. Isn't this the same Qishi antique shop that Boss Wang mentioned. The bone fossil in his hand was bought at the stall at the door. In other words, the four street stalls in front of the door actually belong to the business of 'Qishizhai'. They asked the employees of the store to set up the stalls. It is estimated that the stall owners of these few stalls are slightly younger.
“Sir, look at our strange stones, each one is a fine product.”
Li Mo looked at the strange stones on the street stall. Not to mention, the quality of these strange stones was indeed much higher than the perfunctory stones at the stalls he had seen before. At least they had a decent appearance.
“Brother, these strange rocks seem to be pretty good-looking.” Shao looked at them and said in a low voice.
"Strange stones are also called solitary stones in the history of our country. The bay islands, Hong Kong Island and Ao Island in our country are called elegant stones, the island countries are called water stones, and the kimchi country is called longevity stones. In a broad sense, any natural stone with ornamental value Any stone can be called a strange stone. So if you think it looks good, then it’s right. If it doesn’t look good, it’s just a worthless ordinary stone.”
Li Mo picked up a stone on the stall and looked at it carefully before putting it back. The traces of artificial carving on these so-called strange stones were too obvious. A high-quality strange stone is all naturally formed. For example, my country's four famous strange stones: "Dongpo Flesh-Shaped Stone", "Years", "Chinese Condor", and "Chick Out of the Shell", each of which is placed in a museum. They are all priceless treasures of the country.
Once a strange stone has been artificially carved, it becomes a modern handicraft, which can only be viewed, but its value is greatly reduced.
“I’m not very interested in these strange stones. If there are fossils and the like, I can take a look at them. The elders in my family like these kinds of stones. If there are any, I can choose a few good ones to take back.”
The stall owner is a woman about forty years old. She said quickly: "Sir, you have found the right place. We are the only one in the entire antique city that has fossils in Qishi Zhai. Please come here and I will take you in to have a look."
"good."
Li Mo followed the woman into the store with his hands behind his back. The area of Qishizhai was quite large, at least four to five hundred square meters at first glance. Along the walls were welded steel frames filled with various stones. There are several tables in the middle of the shop, which are also filled with various stones.
“Yes, it seems that your boss has really put a lot of thought into building this Qishizhai.”
"Of course, our boss has a very wide network of contacts. Many of the people who come to buy strange stones are old customers, as well as official purchasers such as the government, so the strange stone samples in the store are updated quickly. Sir, please come here. There are no fossils. It is placed here, there is a yard behind the store, and there is a small warehouse."
“Okay, you lead the way.”
The three of them went out from the back door into the backyard, and then entered a small warehouse with about forty or fifty various small stones placed inside.
“Sir, look, this row is full of fossils acquired by our boss. There are marine paleontological fossils, plant fossils, animal fossils, and animal footprint fossils.”
Li Mo was quite surprised. He didn't expect that there were several kinds of fossils in this strange stone house. There are thousands of different kinds of marine paleontological fossils in its own museum, and many of them are the only specimens in the world.
However, marine paleontological fossils are very common here. Fossils with a chrysanthemum pattern are often found on the seaside in Europe. It is normal to get them. Plant fossils are leaves or small rhizome fossils, but there are no complete plant fossils, otherwise the research value would be very great.
“Sir, you don’t like marine paleontological fossils and plant fossils?”
"The old man at home has collected a lot, and every fossil is ten times better than what you have here." Li Mo reached out and took down a football-sized stone from the shelf. On it was a 16- to 17-centimeter-long fossilized spine. , "What kind of animal bone fossil is this?"
“The boss said it was a dinosaur spine bone fossil.”
"Didn't you say what kind of dinosaur it is? If it is really a dinosaur fossil, it would be quite good. If you can know the specific dinosaur species, I think it can be a big gift if you buy it back."
Li Mo's words were full of interest, which gave the woman hope of closing the deal, but she still said with a bit of regret: "We don't know the types of dinosaurs, and we may need experts in dinosaur fossils to conduct research and identification. "
“Then where did your boss buy this fossil? Maybe the other party has other better fossils.”
“This…this…”
The woman was muttering, as if she had something to hide.
"Sister, I also want to buy better dinosaur fossils for my elders, so..." Li Mo took out a wad of money from his bag, which seemed to be at least four or five thousand. He put it directly into the woman's hand and said with a smile, "Sister, I understand the rules. With this little money, you can go back and buy some more beautiful clothes and show your appreciation."
The woman grabbed the money and said a little embarrassedly: "That's not what I meant. How can I take it with the embarrassment."
“Sister, take it.”
Li Mo pushed her hand.
"Sir, it's like this. The boss didn't buy these dinosaur fossils from others. One time he drank a few more glasses of wine in the store and accidentally let it slip. I happened to hear it. These dinosaur fossils were bought by the boss. The fossil was actually discovered by him in the Helan Mountain Nature Reserve, but I don’t know the specific location.”
"That's it... Well, it's a pity. I thought I bought it from someone. Sister, it's okay. Just keep the money. How much does this dinosaur spine fossil cost? I'll buy it and take it back. Give it to the elders.”
"Okay, thank you, sir. However, our boss previously told us that the price for this fossil was 60,000 yuan, but his base price was 18,000 yuan. Several customers wanted to buy it before, but they thought 18,000 yuan was too expensive, so we didn't close the deal. . The boss is not here today, but the boss’s wife is here. Just be aware of it.”
She probably received thousands of yuan in benefits from Li Mo, and she also specifically revealed the bottom line of her boss's mind. Li Mo took out a dozen more from his bag, stuffed them into her pocket without counting them, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are also a real person, keep this money."
The woman was even happier, holding the stone and walking towards the shop in front of her.
“Lady boss, this gentleman has taken a fancy to this animal fossil. What do you think the price is?”
The woman placed the fossils on the counter. The proprietress looked to be in her thirties, with thick powder on her face, very red lipstick, and a very old-fashioned perm on her hair. I don’t know what the aesthetic is. vision.
She glanced at the fossil and said, "This is the fossil of the Tyrannosaurus rex spine, eighty-eight thousand." The woman with Li Mo couldn't help but glance at the proprietress, and then looked at Li Mo with a glance. Li Mo also felt that it was a bit ridiculous, and when she told her why the price had suddenly increased by 28,000 yuan, she felt that she had a bad heart.
“Lady boss, you don’t want to do my business?”
“I don’t know what you mean, if there is business, why don’t I do it?”
Li Mo pointed to the spine fossil on the stone and said: "I have never seen Tyrannosaurus rex fossils. In a dinosaur fossil museum in Liaodi, there is the largest Tyrannosaurus rex fossil unearthed in China. The size of its spine seems to be This is 20 to 30 times more expensive. Don’t tell me that this is the fossilized spine of a young Tyrannosaurus rex.”
“It was originally the spinal fossil of a young Tyrannosaurus rex. My husband asked an expert to identify it.”
The landlady said without changing her expression, everything seemed very natural.
Li Mo couldn't help but smile, and then said casually: "Boss lady, do you think this is good? If the expert really says that this is the fossilized spine of a larval Tyrannosaurus rex, I will buy it for 88,000 yuan, not less than a penny. Who is that expert?" "
The landlady was stunned. She didn't expect that the invisible guest in front of her actually wanted to get to the bottom of it. She said with twinkling eyes: "My husband said this, and I don't know the specific situation. When he found it at Suyukou in Helan Mountain..."
She paused suddenly, and then added in a panic: "My husband met a foreign dinosaur fossil expert when he was traveling in Helan Mountain, and the expert said this. Anyway, that's the situation. If you want to buy it, it's 88,000 You can take it away.”
Li Mo was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect to accidentally learn about the place Suyukou in Helan Mountain from the boss's mouth. She also realized that she had spilled the beans, so she reluctantly found an excuse to change the subject. He didn't expose it, but followed her words and said: "So the so-called foreign dinosaur fossil expert can't verify his identity. Boss lady, do you think this will work? My elder likes dinosaur fossils. If you sincerely sell it, I can offer eight thousand eight thousand."
"Stop joking, how can I sell it for eight thousand and eighty? I think you don't want to buy it sincerely." The proprietress was a little irritated. She turned her head and looked at the computer. The TV series was paused, and her mind was entirely on the TV series.
“Brother, how much do you think this dinosaur fossil is worth?”
The head shaver already knew the base price. He thought for a moment and said: "Brother, this is what the old man in the family likes. Eighty-eight thousand yuan is definitely expensive. Boss lady, do you think this will work? Let's each take a step back. Let's add another ten thousand yuan. If you feel that Okay, let’s make this deal.”
“Eighteen thousand and eighty-eight?”
The landlady murmured a few words, then pretended to sigh and said: "That's all, you are also filial and want to buy it back and give it to your elders. Eighteen thousand and eighty, just eighteen thousand and eighty."
After Li Mo paid the payment, he picked up the dinosaur spine fossil and left.
“Boss, do we want to continue shopping?”
“Since we’ve all come here, we naturally have to go shopping again. Fortunately, today’s visit was not in vain.”
The fossil was put into the car by another security guard. Li Mo continued to visit the antique city with his shaved head. He took action eight times in total, but everything was ordinary.
"Shave your head. After you return to Kyoto, take these things to the New World Auction House and ask their manager Gu to resell them. The total of several pieces can probably be sold for one or two million. Then the eight of you will share it."
“Thank you, boss.”
Shatou was very excited. It turned out that the legend within the company was indeed true. As long as everyone went on a business trip with the boss, as long as everyone worked loyally, the boss would never treat them badly.
He said a few words to the other security guards, and sure enough, they all said thank you to the boss.
Li Mo was sitting in the car, looking through the window at the black Porsche fifty meters away. The driver was probably in his fifties, and the woman was in her twenties. However, she did not have long hair, but was delicate. Smart short hair, beautiful appearance, at least 90 points or above. In her hand is the fake long hair and duck-billed hat. At this moment, she is also looking through the glass through a telescope.
“Boss, that’s the car.”
"I saw it. Send someone over and ask them to choose a place so we can meet. They are so sneaky that I don't know what they are doing."
A security guard ran towards the car. The other person lowered the glass, with a look of surprise and nervousness on his face. However, after communicating with the security guard for a few words, he nodded and pointed to the cafe diagonally opposite.
About twenty minutes later, Li Mo walked into the coffee shop. The driver of the woman stood at the door and said respectfully: "Mr. Li, please come this way."
Li Mo looked at his right hand, which was wearing a black gauze glove. The back of his hand was clearly bulging, and his right hand was obviously a little larger than his left hand.
“Have you ever practiced Iron Palm?”
Li Mo asked calmly as he walked.
The middle-aged driver quickly replied respectfully: "This is a Kung Fu passed down from my family. I have been practicing it for more than thirty years."
"Well, this is a foreign skill. During the practice, it needs to be supplemented with some Chinese medicine for auxiliary conditioning. I think your iron sand palm has reached its peak, but the damage to your opponent is also obvious. When you get older, you will have to I've tasted the pain. While your body is still okay now, it's best to find an old Chinese doctor to regulate your qi and blood."
The middle-aged driver is more respectful. He wears gloves on his right hand. Only those who are familiar with him will know the reason. But the Li Mo next to him actually revealed his secret at a glance, and also pointed out the shortcomings of his kung fu training.
This man is really as incredible as the legend says.
"Look for a chance to let me see the power of your iron sand palm."
“Yes, I’ll ask Mr. Li for more advice when the time comes.”
Facing the great **** Li Mo, the driver respected him not because he was too rich, but because he was also a martial arts master. It was said in the martial arts that he was a master of Bajiquan and a master of swordsmanship. The middle-aged driver had never seen his Bajiquan before, but he had seen the live broadcast of the scene in which he single-handedly attacked the eight major kendo sects of the island country and killed everyone with a Miao Dao. Clearly.
The driver took him up to the second floor and into a box. He did not follow him in. He closed the door silently and stood guard at the door. They didn't even go in to have their heads shaved. The boss's strength was unfathomable, and no one could do anything to him yet.
Li Mo sat calmly opposite the woman, looking at her face with admiration. Before she could speak, he smiled and said, "This is the first time I have received a small card from someone. That hotel Are you related to the boss?"
