    Wu Jin grinned, revealing five gold teeth: "Yes, it is a soft screen from the Yongzheng period, and it was made using three techniques."

    Most of the screens in the Qing Palace were made using one process, such as carved lacquer screens, red sandalwood screens, boxwood carved screens, etc.  Only a few are made using a variety of techniques, such as rosewood frames inlaid with cloisonn¨¦ enamel, carved lacquer screens inlaid with jade, etc.  Therefore, such screens are generally more precious.

    This made Meng Zitao a little curious and asked: "What three crafts are they?"

    Hardware replied: "That set of screens was made using three techniques: wood carving, tapestry painting, and palace painting."

    There was a look of surprise on Lao Niu's face: "No, if this kind of screen is well preserved, it is estimated to be worth tens of millions, right?"

    Wu Jin said with a smile: "Not only that, in 2006, there was an auction for a carved mahogany screen inlaid with tapestry and silk painting. The transaction price at that time was more than 80 million. Although that set of screens used four techniques, I said  That set of screens is not bad either, and the materials used are high-quality huanghuali, which is very valuable.¡±

    Meng Zitao said: "In this case, wouldn't it be better to get it at auction? Why trade it privately?"

    Hardware said: "There are quite a lot of fees to pay at the auction, and the original owner had no intention of selling it. Now that there are things at home, he can only reluctantly part with it."

    Meng Zitao nodded, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.

    Hardware asked: "Shopkeeper Meng, do you have any ideas about this set of screens?"

    Meng Zitao thought about it and said that he would be lying if he said he didn't want it. However, the price of such a screen should not be low. He now needs a sum of funds for the factory. If he buys the screen, he may have no money. How much is it?  trouble.

    ¡° However, Meng Zitao doesn¡¯t want to miss this opportunity, and after buying something, if he is short of money, he can bid at the auction.  Of course, it was a situation of necessity. If you buy something like this now and sell it only a month or two later, it will be a bit of a loss.

    The thoughts in his mind turned around, and Meng Zitao asked: "I wonder where the screen is now?"

    Hardware said: "The screen belongs to a boss in Suzhou. If you want to go early, we can go to Suzhou now, but it is a bit troublesome to transfer money. Or you can go today and come back after settling the matter early tomorrow morning.  "

    Meng Zitao thought for a while and felt that things at the factory couldn't be put off like this all the time, and since he had nothing to do at home, he might as well go to Suzhou now.

    "Okay, let's go now."

    "OK."

    Hardware smiled and nodded, and then said: "However, I have to explain one thing in advance. In terms of price, the other party may not have any discount."

    Meng Zitao certainly understands this. Generally speaking, owners are reluctant to sell such rare antiques. It is basically impossible to lower the price.

    Meng Zitao packed up his things, called his parents and He Wanyi, and told him about going to Suzhou. Then he received a call from Shu Ze.

    Shu Ze excitedly told Meng Zitao on the phone that Brother Bao had been caught. Brother Bao confessed that the Bu family had instigated him to do the matter, and he also confessed some illegal things of the Bu family.

    Therefore, the Shu family plans to take this opportunity to resolve the grievances between the two families, which should at least make the Bu family suffer.

    However, because he was worried that the Bu family would take risks and cause some trouble, Shu Ze wanted to ask the army to support him.

    Of course Meng Zitao would not object and asked Shu Ze to pay attention to safety.

    After hanging up the phone, Meng Zitao told Dajun about the matter, and Dajun was ready to leave for Ling City. As for Meng Zitao's safety, Dajun was not too worried. Now, it is basically impossible to hurt Meng Zitao unless he uses firearms.

    In addition, what everyone doesn¡¯t know is that Meng Zitao¡¯s current sixth sense can completely enable him to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. As long as he is not too unlucky, there will basically be no safety problems.

    After settling some matters, Meng Zitao drove to Suzhou with the hardware.

    After more than an hour, Meng Zitao and the others arrived in Gusu. It was dinner time and everyone found a place to have dinner.

    Since the two of them were not familiar with each other, they just chatted for a while and did not intend to go out for fun, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

    Early the next morning, the two had breakfast, and Meng Zitao drove to his friend's place with the hardware.

    On the way, Hardware told me something about the boss. The boss¡¯s surname was Gong, and his name was Gong Huancao. He was originally a workman from Gusu.A silky feeling.

    "Is there something wrong with this painting?"

    Meng Zitao observed it again and found a flaw that made him laugh a little.

    After more than twenty minutes, everyone returned to their original positions with some unfinished business.

    "Everyone has seen the things. Next, let's discuss how to bid." When Gong Huanchao spoke, there was some reluctance in his eyes, as if he really didn't want to sell the things.

    Yang Ruifeng smiled and said to Meng Zitao: "Shopkeeper Meng, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

    Meng Zitao nodded, and then the two of them walked aside.

    Yang Ruifeng said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, I have admired your name for a long time. It's better to see it than to hear it!"

    "Are you saying that I'm too young?" Meng Zitao slandered. After all, he didn't show much just now. If Yang Ruifeng said this, it's no wonder that he would think about getting older.

    After saying a few useless polite words, Yang Ruifeng said: "Shopkeeper Meng, I really like this set of screens. I wonder if you can let me have it this time?"

    Meng Zitao thought this man was a bit funny. If he were a friend, he wouldn't talk nonsense. But it was the first time they met, and Yang Ruifeng didn't offer any compensation, so why should he let him?

    So, Meng Zitao said with a smile that he also liked this set of screens, and he could only apologize for Yang Ruifeng's request.

    Then, Yang Ruifeng immediately said, in this case, the one with the highest price will get it.

    Meng Zitao said Yang Ruifeng so happily, and he estimated that he just thought that he would not agree, so he said it deliberately, so his words were very insincere.

    Originally, after the discovery just now, Meng Zitao was no longer interested in this set of screens. It was not that he really didn¡¯t want it, but that he knew that the other party would not agree to the price he had in mind.

    Therefore, Meng Zitao had no idea of ??bidding in the first place. However, Yang Ruifeng was determined to win, and his look mixed with a hint of arrogance made Meng Zitao feel somewhat unhappy.

    In addition, Meng Zitao believed in his sixth sense, so he decided to trick Yang Ruifeng in a small way.

    However, Yang Ruifeng did not give Meng Zitao such a chance and directly offered 51 million.

    This price is about 10% more expensive than the market price, and this is because the entire device is genuine.  In this case, of course Meng Zitao will not follow him anymore. After all, the two of them have no hatred, so why should they go too far?

    Now that the screen has a winner, Meng Zitao and Wujin said goodbye to Gong Huanchao.

    After getting in the car, there was a trace of unwillingness in Hardware's expression, because he believed that if it weren't for Yang Ruifeng's arrival, Meng Zitao would have bought this set of screens, and then he would be able to get a considerable commission.  .  Now that he saw the cooked duck flying away like this, it was strange that he would be happy.

    Meng Zitao noticed the look on the hardware and said, "Actually, even without Yang Ruifeng, I wouldn't have had the chance to buy that set of screens."

    "Why?" This time, I was curious about hardware.

    Meng Zitao said: "Because this set of screens is not a complete device."

    "What do you mean?" Wu Jin was a little surprised.

    Meng Zitao asked back: "I wonder if you noticed just now that the horse's eyes are closed when eating grass?"

    "This should be no problem, right?" Wu Jin said hesitantly.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "You probably thought this was the case after seeing the story written on the Internet, right?"

    By the way, there is a story on the Internet about the sketch "Horse Eating Sketches" painted by the famous Japanese painter Okayama Yingju. The image is lifelike and ready to be drawn, and it has been hailed as a "magic pen" by many famous masters.  However, a Japanese farmer was not satisfied after seeing it and pointed out that the horse grazing in the painting was a blind horse.

    Of course the painter was dissatisfied, saying that the horse in the painting clearly had its eyes open. The farmer told him that it was for this reason that the horse was blind, because when the horse was eating grass it was afraid of being stabbed by the blades of grass, so it closed its eyes. The artist suddenly realized  .

    Hardware asked hesitantly: "Is what this story says wrong?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
