In fact, the jewelry that Yuxing took out was synthesized by Niu Niu using elements on the integrated ship, and a lot of it was synthesized. Includes three sets of zodiac signs, ten pairs of bracelets and ten pairs of rings.
These jadeites definitely look like the best of the best. Each one has high transparency and is full of emerald green, which is the so-called imperial green.
But if they are imitations, that is not necessarily true, because they are really not real jade, but they are manufactured. Natural jade is formed by nature over tens of millions of years, but Yuxing only shortens this process to a few days.
No matter how advanced the instruments or experienced jade appraisers in the world are, it is impossible to identify this piece as a fake. Yuxing is convinced that this jadeite work will definitely fetch more than one million if it is auctioned. Old man Zhao had taken good care of him in the past four years, and he wanted to repay this lovely old man.
Minister Zhao stood up, took the jewelry box, took out the dragon-shaped pendant, and looked at the sunshine outside the window carefully to observe it.
"This thing looks very beautiful, isn't it expensive?"
Old Man Zhao judged based on Yuxing's family situation that Yuxing did not have the strength to give out expensive gifts. In other words, even if Yuxing had the strength, there was no need to give expensive items to him who did not have much real power. Besides, Yuxing had just given him a pack of cigarettes worth over a thousand dollars. So Old Man Zhao knew in his heart that this jadeite would not be worth much, and it might be a fake, but he still pretended to be sincere and asked Yuxing.
The noisy "buzzing" sound of the desktop computer annoyed Yuxing. He knocked hard on the case and the sound immediately became quieter. He sat down and sorted the papers on the table.
"It's not worth a few bucks. It's just a toy. Don't take it seriously." Not to mention that this thing is nothing to Yuxing. It really doesn't matter.
Putting the documents on the file shelf, Yuxing picked up the tea cup on the desk, added some tea leaves to it, walked to the mineral water machine, and added hot water. He turned around and said jokingly to Mr. Zhao.
"I heard that your daughter is getting married soon. If you are short on money, you might as well put it up for auction and sell it for three melons and two dates to add some dowry to your daughter."
"Thank you, I accepted it for my daughter. You must be there when she holds her wedding." Old Man Zhao pretended to carefully put the jade pendant into the jewelry box, and then put it on the desk. In fact, he didn't take it seriously, even if he sold it for 300 or 200 yuan, he didn't take it seriously.
Old man Zhao sat back in his chair, held the mouse again and started browsing online news.
"I told the secretary-general that your investigation was overdue. You fell ill during the investigation and rested at home for a few days." Old man Zhao was so interesting that he had already taken care of the matter for Yuxing.
"Thank you, Minister."
…
Yuxing then went to other departments and offices, bragging and cutting mountains with his colleagues, having a great time. It was noon in a blink of an eye.
After lunch in the agency cafeteria, Minister Zhao took the jewelry box and the cigarette he regarded as a treasure and went home to rest.
Minister Zhao's home is very close to the government office building. After exiting the agency gate, you turned a corner and arrived home. In fact, the family building and the office building of the agency are right next to each other. It's just that you have to exit the agency gate before you can enter the family building gate.
This building is a welfare house jointly built by the government and a state-owned enterprise on land more than ten years ago. The area of each household is not large, but it is convenient for working. Many comrades from the government have a house here. Apart from this, comrades who enter the organization, such as Yu Xing and a few other young people, will not have such good opportunities.
After returning home, Minister Zhao casually put the jewelry box on the coffee table, then lay on the bed and squinted his eyes to rest. Time was running out, and my daughter and son-in-law came back from shopping for wedding items. They had been tired all morning and looked exhausted. They greeted Old Man Zhao and sat on the sofa to drink water and rest.
When Old Man Zhao's daughter was putting the water cup, she saw the jewelry box placed on the coffee table. Just ask Old Man Zhao, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes squinted.
"Dad, whose jewelry box is this?"
"This is a wedding gift from my little Chen. Take a look." Old Man Zhao answered his daughter casually without opening his eyes.
When her daughter opened the jewelry box, she was surprised to see the exquisite green dragon-shaped pendant.
"Dad, this is from Xiao Chen? Are you sure?" The daughter couldn't believe her eyes and took out the pendant to show to her boyfriend.
"Of course, it can't be a fake, right?"
Both my daughter and son-in-law have seen the world, and after careful observation, they both felt that this pendant was not simple.
"If it's not a fake, this is a top-quality jadeite." Although the son-in-law was born in a rural area and is a Phoenix man, he is also a person who knows the goods. After all, the four years of college were not in vain.
"There is an auction house not far from home. Let's go there and have it appraised, okay?" the daughter suggested to her father.
Old man Zhao suddenly remembered what Yu Xing said. Since his daughter and son-in-law thought this pendant was not simple, in order to understand the true value of this thing, it would be a good idea to auction it in an auction house.
"Is this possible? Why should I give you an appraisal?" The son-in-law is a real person, and his words are also very childish. He has not yet fully learned the cunning, smoothness and deception of urban people.
"You're stupid, wouldn't we say we're here for an auction? Let them give us a minimum auction price. Don't we have a rough idea?"
"OK?"
"Take it off. Dad, are you going?"
Old man Zhao also wanted to know the true price of this pendant, so he agreed to go to the auction house with his daughter and son-in-law.
The three people walked into the lobby of the auction company and saw a beautiful girl sitting behind the service desk eating.
"Hello, Miss, is your appraiser here? I have something to entrust you to auction." Minister Zhao's daughter said to the waitress who was eating.
The waitress in her twenties was of high quality. She put down her half-eaten lunch box and warmly greeted the three of them to sit on the sofa in the front hall. She refilled the paper cups in front of the water dispenser and said, "Sir, you Can you let me take a look at the items you want to entrust us to auction?" She placed the tea on the coffee table in front of the three of them. "This way I can find appropriate appraisers for you."
"Thank you." The daughter politely thanked the girl for the tea. She took out the pendant wrapped in a white handkerchief from her handbag and opened the handkerchief.
Seeing the noble imperial green jadeite against the white handkerchief, the receptionist's eyes seemed to glow green.
"Wait a minute, I'll call the manager." Before she could finish her words, she turned around and ran in. The three of them looked at each other with a little more expectation in their eyes.
Manager Li from the auction company quickly appeared in front of the three people.
"I'm sorry to keep you three waiting." After confessing to the three of them, Manager Li sat on the sofa opposite.
"Can I see your jadeite?" Manager Li took out a high-power magnifying glass and prepared to look at the items provided by the three people. Just now, the waitress asked him to come over to appraise a top-quality jade lot. He saw the waitress's excited expression and was infected by the girl, and he had great expectations for this lot.
"Of course." Minister Zhao's daughter took out the jade pendant wrapped in a white handkerchief. When he opened the handkerchief again, the well-informed Manager Li was so shocked that his eyes stared blankly at this unique treasure.
"Xiao Zhang, don't stand there stupidly, bring me a pair of gloves."
After putting on his snow-white gloves, Manager Li carefully picked up the pendant and observed it carefully with a magnifying glass for ten minutes.
During these ten torturous minutes, Minister Zhao and the three of them were entangled with worry and longing, making them restless and tormented.
