    Meng Zitao was slightly startled when he saw the people walking in, because one of them was the boss Zhang who broke his jade pendant before, Zhang Jingqiang.

    ¡°This not only made Meng Zitao feel a bit coincidental, but Cheng Qiheng and the others also felt the same way.

    After asking around, I found out that Zhang Jingqiang had a project to handle here recently, and the deputy manager of the construction company was Cao Rui, the eldest son of Uncle Cao.  Cao Rui heard that Zhang Jingqiang liked antiques, and his father happened to be selling his collection of many years, so he told Zhang Jingqiang.

    How could Zhang Jingqiang not be interested? He came over in the car without saying anything.

    Although Zhang Jingqiang¡¯s arrival was a bit unexpected, fortunately we all know each other and have a good relationship. Even if there is a conflict of interest, we can just negotiate amicably.  Next, everyone looked at their own things.

    Ten minutes later, the servant came in with three more people, and everyone had the same expression just now, because one of them turned out to be Xue Wenguang.

    Seeing this situation, everyone looked at Li Qiaosheng subconsciously, and saw that Li Qiaosheng had a look of astonishment on his face, and even smiled bitterly in his heart. How could such a coincidence happen.

    Fortunately, the facts did not allow Li Qiaosheng to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

    Seeing the three people coming in, the first one to attack was Uncle Cao who was sitting at the door. He scolded one of the young men who looked somewhat similar to him: "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

    The young man smiled shyly and said, "Dad, we have something to talk about. This is Boss Lu. He wants to take a look at your huanghuali birthday ornament."

    Uncle Cao flatly refused: "No!"

    Seeing this, the young man quickly leaned into Uncle Cao's ear and whispered for a while. Immediately, Uncle Cao's brows relaxed a little.

    "Really?" Uncle Cao said with some disbelief in his tone.

    "Really, otherwise I will be struck by thunder!" The young man raised his hands and swore.

    Uncle Cao pondered for a moment and said: "I believe you for once, but at most I can only let you who bid the highest get it, and it's only that one thing. Do you agree?"

    When Xue Wenguang saw Meng Zitao and the others, he secretly thought something bad. When he heard what Uncle Cao said, he looked at a middle-aged man next to him who was well-dressed and looked a little arrogant.

    The middle-aged man frowned, then nodded in agreement.

    Then, Uncle Cao stood up, bowed his head to Meng Zitao and others, apologized, and said that each of them would get a certain discount on the items they bought today at the final settlement.

    Since Uncle Cao did this, everyone has no objections, and even if Uncle Cao doesn't discount, what can they do?

    In addition, the reason why Uncle Cao did this was because he told Lao Liu before that they were the only ones today.  Just now the eldest son brought Zhang Jingqiang, so it was okay for everyone to be friends. Now the younger son brought someone else and asked for the statue of the longevity star by name. Since he agreed, he felt that he had to show something.

    Since the middle-aged man¡¯s goal was the statue of the birthday boy, everyone turned their attention and found that the statue was in Zhang Jingqiang¡¯s hands.

    The statue is carved from a piece of wood that conforms to the shape. The wood seems to be the finest Hainan huanghuali.

    Judging from the performance, the sculpture should have been created not that long ago, and its name is unknown, but overall it seems that the knife skills are smooth, the materials are exquisite, the carvings are unique, and the skills are superb. From this, it can be seen that the author's level should be as good as  Grandmaster.

    Everyone must be familiar with huanghuali (sea yellow). Because of its slow growth, solid wood, and beautiful patterns, it has always been ranked as one of the five famous trees.

    Huanghuali was close to extinction in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.  The Qing Palace once stored some huanghuali wood, and most of it was used to purchase the "Qianlong Garden" when Qianlong abdicated. It was completely used up when Yuan Shikai ascended the throne.

    ?Some people may say, if this is the case, where do the huanghuali on the market come from?

    Actually, there is a misunderstanding here. Huanghuali is indeed very precious, but what is precious is the aniseed material, and there are still small seedlings.  As for when aniseed will be available, it is reported that it takes more than 200 years for newly planted Hainan Huanghuali to become useful, so the duration of the discontinuation of Hainan Huanghuali raw materials may reach 200 years.

    The aniseed materials on the market now are generally old furniture and farm tools from the past, as well as some hoarded materials obtained from medicinal material dealers.  Because of this, the price of huanghuali has skyrocketed in recent years.

    Therefore, even though Uncle Cao¡¯s longevity statue was carved in recent years, it is made of high-quality aniseed material that is nearly 60 centimeters long, and the price is not much cheaper. What¡¯s more, the author is also a master.  levelThe price is 300,000. If you don¡¯t talk anymore, I won¡¯t sell this thing.  "

    "Five hundred thousand!" Zhang Jingqiang immediately raised the price by two hundred thousand. Even though it was a lot of money, it was actually less than half the price.

    Lu Changdai didn¡¯t want to raise the price to the top at once, so he said: ¡°Eight hundred thousand.¡±

    Next, apart from Cheng Qiheng who quoted the price twice, only Zhang Jingqiang and Lu Changdai competed. After a while, the price rose to 1.88 million.

    Zhang Jingqiang was silent for a moment and said: "2 million!"

    Lu Changdai smiled: "2.01 million!"

    Zhang Jingqiang frowned: "2.05 million!"

    "2.06 million!"

    "2.1 million!"

    "2.11 million!"

    Seeing that Lu Changdai always paid ten thousand more than him, Zhang Jingqiang couldn't help but feel angry. Just when he was about to increase the price, he saw Meng Zitao secretly winking at him (Remember the website address:  www.hlnovel.com
