Chapter 17 Realistic version of buying a casket and returning a pearl
Xiaomei couldn't figure it out: Where did she get those good things? !
The doubts in her heart made Xiaomei stop wanting to leave. After thinking about it, she went to a milk tea shop diagonally opposite the pawn shop, ordered a cup of milk tea, and waited.
When Xiao Yingchun knocked on the door and went in, Dai Hengxin was boiling water to make tea.
The moment he saw Xiao Yingchun coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him: "Coming?"
Xiao Yingchun smiled and nodded: "You're welcome."
After all, it was just because they had had a meal together that they were much closer than before.
Xiao Yingchun sat down, and Dai Hengxin went to lock the door of the pawn shop, not forgetting to explain: "You are the only distinguished guest this morning. I will lock the door first to avoid disturbing you."
Xiao Yingchun glanced at the transparent glass door and nodded to express understanding.
When Dai Hengxin sat down, Xiao Yingchun had already taken the initiative to take out the jewelry box inlaid with gold, silver wire and shells.
As soon as Dai Hengxin saw the box, his eyes widened!
He first closed the screen on the street glass, and then turned on all the lights.
Dai Hengxin finished his work and sat down again. Then he pursed his lips and carefully put on his gloves, and reached out to hold the box.
Xiao Yingchun was frightened by his serious attitude: "What's wrong? This box is very valuable?"
The moment Dai Hengxin picked up the box, he realized: "Is there something in this box?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "Yes..."
Dai Hengxin became excited: "How can this box hold anything? If the box is scratched, the value will be greatly reduced..."
As he spoke, Dai Hengxin put the box down again, opened it carefully, and prepared to take out the contents.
As soon as the box was opened, he was stunned: there was a box full of jewelry inside!
Dai Hengxin's heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of his throat.
"You guys..."
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "I just want you to help me see if these are worth anything and how much they can be worth..."
Who knew you would go crazy looking at that jewelry box.
Dai Hengxin sat blankly for a while, shook his head, and took out a large velvet-bottomed tray from under the table over there.
He first carefully took the jewelry out of the box one by one and placed them on the trays.
The tray was full, so he silently went to get the second tray.
After a while, looking at the empty jewelry box and two plates of jewelry, Dai Hengxin was speechless.
After enduring it, Dai Hengxin couldn't hold it back: "Miss Xiao, can I make a suggestion?"
"Say it." Xiao Yingchun raised his hand to signal.
"Can you cherish things like this in the future and put them in boxes by category? It's not good for these treasures if you pack them together like this..."
Not only is it bad, it is simply a waste!
Just now he saw a fresh scratch on one of the gold hairpins, and his heart was bleeding!
Xiao Yingchun nodded knowingly: "I will pay attention next time."
Dai Hengxin looked at her and then at her: Forget it, she probably didn't take it to heart.
Dai Hengxin first pushed the two trays to the side, picked up the jewelry box, smelled, touched and looked at it with a magnifying glass. After looking at it for a while, Dai Hengxin looked serious.
"Do you know what this thing is?"
Xiao Yingchun cautiously asked: "Jewelry box?"
Dai Hengxin nodded sadly: "It's a jewelry box, yes, but the workmanship and materials used on this thing are top-notch!"
"It is made of agarwood, mother-of-pearl craftsmanship, and inlaid with gold and silver threads. The mother-of-pearl jewelry box that Christie's auctioned before was not as exquisite as this one, and it was not as big as this one. It was sold for 20 million."
Xiao Yingchun's small mouth slowly grew, and she couldn't close it for a long time: "Twenty million for a box?"
If I sell this thing, will I be sentenced? !
The fear in his heart appeared on his face. When Dai Hengxin saw it, he quickly stopped talking.
"Miss Xiao? What's wrong with you?"
"I...I just asked you to take a look for me. I don't plan to sell it. Isn't this illegal?" Xiao Yingchun asked cautiously.
Dai Hengxin reacted and smiled: "Of course it's not illegal. But don't show this thing to others." "Ordinary people will inevitably have evil thoughts when they see such a precious thing."
Xiao Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief and almost promised: "Okay! I will definitely not show it to others!"
Dai Hengxin nodded: "Do you still need me to explain it to you?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "Well, you tell me."
Dai Hengxin then gave another professional explanation, explaining this thing to the heavens and the earth, and finally came to a conclusion.
"If this thing of yours can be auctioned, I'm afraid it won't be cheaper than that one."
Xiao Yingchun nodded and pointed at the jewelry: "What about these?"
Dai Hengxin brought two plates over and pointed at the items on one of them.
"These... are a set. You can see that the patterns are the same, and they are also inlaid with pearls and gems. Although the craftsmanship is very good, the price is actually not too high."
"This set is less than a million."
"These few remaining items add up to more than one million."
Xiao Yingchun was stunned: A modern version of buying a casket for a pearl? !
Is this box more valuable than the treasure inside?
She swallowed with some difficulty: "What about that, I'd better take it back."
Dai Hengxin returned to his senses at this time and went to the cabinet to find several velvet jewelry boxes.
"Don't put these jewelry in that box. I'll give you a few boxes. You can pack them separately."
Xiao Yingchun nodded weakly: "Okay."
Dai Hengxin originally wanted Xiao Yingchun to put it in by herself, but looking at her confused look, he knew that she definitely didn't know how to protect these antique-level jewelry.
He simply sent Buddha to Shangxi and helped her put the jewelry in the box and fix it before handing it over to Xiao Yingchun.
Xiao Yingchun stupidly stuffed the box into her backpack.
Dai Hengxin looked at the jewelry box inlaid with gold and silver filigree, mother-of-pearl and agarwood. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out a big box and put the box inside.
But this way, it won't fit into Xiao Yingchun's backpack.
Dai Hengxin took out another sports handbag and put the box into the handbag: "I'll take you back in a while, you can put it away yourself."
"good."
After packing everything in front of him, Dai Hengxin looked at Xiao Yingchun's backpack and asked casually: "Is there anything else you want to see?"
Xiao Yingchun thought for a while and asked: "Are you still collecting gold ingots? The same thing as last time."
Dai Hengxin swallowed: "Take it."
Xiao Yingchun took out four wads of toilet paper from her backpack, carefully placed them on the table, and emphasized in a low voice: "I didn't smash them, and I didn't use any force."
Dai Hengxin: "..."
He opened one of the piles, and sure enough, it was a twelve gold ingot.
Dai Hengxin resisted the urge to say "fuck" and opened three more piles of toilet paper.
Four twelve gold ingots, the same as last time.
Dai Hengxin didn't take action directly: "Do you mind if I call my uncle over?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "You can do whatever you want. I can do it."
The students want to shake the boss again.
After all, it’s a multi-million business, so it’s understandable...
