PDLP Chapter 349 Emerald Melon
Chapter 349 Emerald Melon
Chapter 349 Emerald Melon
The two things that Feng Yongjiu just took out are much larger than the previous Liu Guanzhang stone sculptures.
Zhang Junping couldn't help guessing what it was.
As the layers of newspapers were uncovered, Zhang Junping couldn't help feeling a little excited, feeling a little bit like a lottery.
The last layer of newspaper was opened, and the contents wrapped inside were not revealed. There was another layer inside, which was an inner packaging made of yellowed books.
Up and down, left and right, front and back are wrapped with books, and then tied tightly with cotton rope.
The words "Qing Hui Dian Tu" came into view, and Zhang Junping twitched in distress.
What a prodigal!
Resisting the urge to step forward and grab it.
Waiting for Feng Yongjiu to untie the cotton rope.
Just when Feng Yongjiu was about to throw away the ancient books used for the parcel, Zhang Junping quickly reached out to stop him, "Brother Feng, don't throw away, these are all good things."
"You mean these books? This thing is worthless, you are going to give it to you!" Feng Yongjiu said casually.
These ancient books were originally brought in by him from the previous family and used as cushions.
Zhang Junping first put on his gloves, carefully took the "Qing Hui Dian Tu", slowly opened it, checked it carefully, and found that there was no damage, and then let out a sigh of relief.
"Director Zhang, look at this, let me tell you, this is a good thing! Have you heard of Empress Dowager Cixi's emerald watermelon?
Back then, this emerald watermelon was a treasure that foreigners wanted. "
"Don't tell me you're an emerald watermelon!" Zhang Junping glanced at it casually and said with a smile.
"Of course this is not an emerald watermelon. Everyone knows that Empress Dowager Cixi has two emerald watermelons. In fact, Empress Dowager Cixi not only has two emerald watermelons, but also four emerald melons.
These two are Empress Dowager Cixi's Emerald Cantaloupe!
Like the emerald watermelon, they are all treasures. After the death of the Empress Dowager Cixi, both the emerald watermelon and the emerald melon became funeral objects.
During the period of the Republic of China, the great warlord Sun Dianying blew up the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, and since then the emerald watermelon and emerald melon have been seen again.
My ancestors..."
"Wait, Brother Feng just tells stories, but don't talk about your ancestors!" Zhang Junping hurriedly interrupted Feng Yongjiu.
"Hehe!" Feng Yongjiu smiled awkwardly, "I also heard from the previous seller that his grandfather was Sun Dianying's adjutant back then, and these two emerald melons were passed down from his grandfather."
Zhang Junping smiled and nodded, "Yes!
Brother Feng, you don't need to tell me the story about the emerald watermelon and the emerald melon, I know more than you!
Li Chengwu, the nephew of the great eunuch Li Lianying, once wrote a book "Notes of Ai Yuexuan" based on Li Lianying's narration. "Notes of Ai Yuexuan" has a detailed description of emerald watermelons and emerald melons.
In addition, although the emerald watermelon and emerald melon are named after emerald, they are not carved out of emerald, and the material used is tourmaline imported from the United States.
At that time, because of the inconvenience of transportation and the backwardness of mining technology, tourmalines were only valuable when rare things were more expensive.
In modern times, with convenient transportation and more advanced mining technology, this tourmaline is worthless!
In the United States, a ton of tourmaline raw ore is only a few hundred dollars.
The emerald watermelon in your hand costs several hundred dollars in the United States, and you can have as many as you want! "
"Ah?" Feng Yongjiu looked at Zhang Junping in disbelief.
He really couldn't believe that the emerald melons that he regarded as treasures were so worthless, one hundred dollars a piece, as much as he wanted.
"Your emerald melon is not the one of Empress Dowager Cixi, it should have been brought over from the United States during the Republic of China.
"Ai Yuexuan Notes" has a detailed description of emerald melons, those with two white skins, yellow seeds, and pink flesh, and those with two green skins, white seeds, and yellow flesh.
This sentence means that two of the four emerald melons have white skin, yellow seeds, and pink flesh, and two have green skin, white seeds, and yellow flesh.
Let's see if your two emerald melons can match up? Zhang Junping said with a smile, pointing to the two emerald melons on the sea of tea.
Feng Yongjiu looked at the emerald melons on the tea sea, his face was pale, Zhang Junping's words were very straightforward, even a fool could see that what Zhang Junping said about these two emerald melons did not match up.
My two emerald melons are green and white, not white or green at all.
He used all the money from selling the house to buy these two emerald melons. He wanted to make a lot of money, but ended up buying two fake ones.
"How much... how much are these two emerald melons worth?" Feng Yongjiu's voice trembled a little.
"Well! It's worth 2000 yuan at most!"
"Two... two thousand?" Feng Yongjiu asked tremblingly.
"Yes! 2000 yuan, according to the current international price of tourmaline, plus shipping costs, and the difference in currency exchange rates, I will give you 2000 yuan at most." Zhang Junping said calmly.
In fact, Zhang Junping laid an ambush here.
The price of raw tourmaline is indeed $[-] per ton, but raw ore and finished tourmaline are not the same thing.
Tourmaline, like other gemstones and jade, is also divided into three or six grades, and the price varies greatly. The best tourmaline has a price but no market.Low-end tourmaline, in this era, can buy a bunch of 100 yuan, even in later generations, a low-end tourmaline accessory is only a few hundred yuan.
Although the two jadeite melons in front of me are not the best tourmalines, they are not bad. They belong to high-end tourmalines, and they will definitely start with a million dollars in future generations.
Even in this day and age, you have to start in five figures.
But, who made Feng never understand!
In addition, Zhang Junping had a bad impression of Feng Yongjiu, so he didn't feel soft-hearted at all.
"This...this..." Feng Yongjiu leaned weakly on the chair, unable to speak.
"Brother Feng, such an item requires strong professional knowledge, and if you don't understand it, it's easy to be fooled.
If Brother Feng really wants to make money, I can show you a way. "
"What way?" Feng Yongjiu finally perked up when he heard Zhang Junping's words.
"That's it!" Zhang Junping lightly patted the "Picture of Qing Hui Dian" on the sea of tea.
"Ancient books, in this era, there are not many old and fake ones, as long as you encounter them, there are basically a large number of them.
I will pay 100 yuan for each copy of these "Qing Hui Dian Tu", as many as there are. "
"Only 100 yuan?"
"Hehe! Brother Feng, one book is 100 yuan, if it's ten books, a hundred books will be too much!
In the land of the capital, as long as you have the heart, it is not easy to draw a thousand or eight hundred copies a day?I just don't have that time, otherwise I would like to collect it myself! "
"That is, that is! How precious is your time, Director Zhang? Just leave it to me to run errands!" Feng Yongjiu regained his energy and said with a smile.
After listening to Zhang Junping's words, Feng Yongjiu's mind came alive again.
For 100 yuan a book, the one where he bought the emerald melon has hundreds of ancient books in the house, and he can get it for a few hundred yuan, which can make hundreds of times the profit.
